Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Takuma Tamaoka had originally prepared a team of twelve people to conduct the arms deal, but he was forced to split the team into two. He and the unlucky team leader each took six people and dispersed at the gate of the base.

Takuma Tamaoka temporarily found six more people and formed a temporary combat team of twelve people.

With the addition of Midorikawa as his trump card, Takuma Tamaoka felt that he would be absolutely safe this time.

In order to prevent Midorikawa from escaping during the battle, Takuma Tamaoka specifically asked him to stay by his side to protect his safety, and had his younger brothers surround him.

Soon, Takuma Tamaoka gathered with a team of people and his younger brothers who were responsible for monitoring Sakata.

"Boss, this is a bit strange..."

Seeing the younger brother's suspicious expression, Tamaoka Takuma frowned slightly: "What is it?"

This man was a member of the team that had participated in the raid on Sakata. He turned around and glanced at the old apartment building in front of him, and said hesitantly, "Last time we came to arrest Sakata, he hid here. Now that we know this place, he actually dared to come back and continue to stay here. Isn't it a bit strange?"

Tamaoka Takuma raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Midorikawa beside him.

After an intense journey, Takuma Tamaoka's younger brothers all had sweat on their foreheads. Some of them who were not in good physical condition were even holding their waists and gasping for breath. But as for Midorikawa, not to mention sweating, there was no change in his breath.

He was wearing a black coat today with the hood pulled up, almost completely covering his face.

Noticing Takuma Tamaoka's inquiring look, he raised his head and said lazily, "It's right here," and then there was no further comment. It seemed that he had no interest in the operation to capture Sakata at all.

Tamaoka Takuma first secretly admired the man's strong physical fitness, and at the same time he filled in the logic in his mind and answered his younger brother's doubts: "Oh, what do you know? The most dangerous place is the safest place. Haven't you heard of this saying? Did any of you think that he would come back here? If none of you thought of it, then isn't this the safest place for him?"

"Hey, is that so?"

The guy on the other side scratched his head and said, "Oh, I really didn't expect that. I didn't expect that Sakata is quite smart."

"nonsense."

Tamaoka Takuma cursed, "If his brain wasn't working, or if you idiots were willing to use your brains, this guy would have been dead long ago! Stop talking nonsense, lead the way! Leave four people outside to guard, in case he escapes through the window like last time!"

So the team of thirteen people was divided into three groups, two people guarded the entrance of the building, two people guarded under the window where Sakata escaped last time, and the other nine people plus Takuma Tamaoka himself and Midorikawa, a total of eleven people, groped their way towards Sakata's rental house together.

The younger brother who led the way led them directly to the door of the rental house they had rented last time. Seeing that Tamaoka Takuma was looking at him, Midorikawa crossed his arms, leaned against the wall with a bored look on his face, and said impatiently, "You can't handle it with so many people?"

Seeing that this guy had no intention of attacking at all, Takuma Tamaoka could only name two of his younger brothers and let them break in first, and then he rushed in right after them.

But to everyone's surprise, there was no one in the room.

Takuma Tamaoka looked down from the window and saw the younger brother in charge of guarding downstairs looking up. It was obvious that no one had escaped from here just now.

The team leader broke out in a cold sweat and argued loudly with a horrified look on his face: "It's right this rental house! It was here last time! This furniture, this TV, and here, the things that fell on the ground haven't changed their positions!"

Hearing him say that, Midorikawa Hikaru sneered: "Things that fell on the ground haven't changed?"

Tamaoka Takuma was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately, grabbed the man by the collar and shouted angrily: "Doesn't that prove that Sakata never came back, you bastard!"

Just now downstairs he had just forcefully explained to his younger brothers that “the most dangerous place is the safest place”, but within a few minutes he was slapped in the face…

Tamaoka Takuma yelled in anger, "Search for me!"

But this small shabby house is so small, and with so many people crowded together, they can check everywhere just by walking around, and there is no place to hide.

Seeing a group of people staring at each other in bewilderment, Midorikawa Mitsuru sneered, retreated from the door, and leaned against the fence opposite the door waiting for the final conclusion.

At this moment, the door of the next room was opened, and a "man" wearing a baseball cap came out and walked past him quickly.

The moment the two people passed each other, this person looked up, raised the corners of his mouth and exchanged a glance with him silently.

A hint of smile flashed in Midorikawa's eyes. When the man was almost at the stairs, he suddenly shouted, "Hey, that guy over there!"

Takuma Tamaoka just happened to come out of the house and followed Midorikawa's gaze, just in time to see the man turn his head.

In the dim light of the corridor, he could see clearly that it was Sakata's panicked face.

"Sakata!"

"Sakata" ran away.

Midorikawa Hikaru said slowly, "Ah, so he moved next door. This guy is quite clever. It seems that we made too much noise just now and disturbed him."

No, if you have time to sit here and make sarcastic remarks, you should chase me instead!

Oh, no, he left two people guarding the door of the apartment building, so Sakata definitely can't escape.

Tamaoka Takuma felt relieved and immediately ordered his subordinates to chase after him.

A group of people rushed up the narrow stairs in chaos. Someone at the back gave a strong push, and one of the guys lost his balance and rolled down, knocking down his accomplice in front of him.

Then the accomplice who was knocked down knocked down the person in front of him.

Out of the eleven people, seven rolled down the stairs screaming. They couldn't get up even though they held their waists and legs. It looked like they were useless.

Tamaoka Takuma roared, "Who's at the end? Who the hell did this? Where's Midorikawa?"

A ghostly voice behind his ear said, "Here."

Takuma Tamaoka was frightened and trembled, and turned his head quickly.

Midorikawa Hikaru pointed to the handrail on the second floor and said, "I jumped directly from there. So, why don't you chase them? They've already run far away."

Only then did Takuma Tamaoka realize that the two younger brothers who were supposed to be guarding outside the building were not there, and Sakata had almost run away!

He no longer cared to find out who was responsible, and hurriedly directed those who could still move to continue chasing.

Including him, Midorikawa, and two younger brothers who came from another direction to join them, the seven of them continued to chase.

After this group of people ran far away, the guys who were still lying on the ground and rolling on the ground screaming "Ouch, ouch" got up one after another.

"Alright, alright, we've all gone far away, stop pretending."

"I have such bad luck to be on such a mission!"

"I was originally going on a date! Who knew I'd be drafted right after I walked to the door! Hehe, luckily I faked a fall cleanly, otherwise I'd still have to be chased. Guys, I'm leaving first!"

The man waved his hand nonchalantly and started to walk away, but he had only taken two steps when two hands suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed his neck and covered his mouth, and dragged him into the shadows on the side of the road.

The people behind didn't notice what was happening here at all.

One of them staggered a few steps, holding his lower back, and cursed: "But I really fell down! No, I have to go to the hospital. Ouch, it hurts so much."

He took two steps outside, and then was also dragged into the darkness by an unknown mysterious man.

This time, someone finally realized that something was wrong.

"There's an ambush! Run!"

But, it's too late.

Takagi Ken, wearing the organization's uniform, walked out of the darkness with a gun in hand and a group of his followers grinning: "Want to leave? It's too late."
