Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi arrived quickly, and with her came her detective assistant named Nekozuka, and another young woman that Megure Jusan had never seen before.

When the three people came in from the door, Inspector Megure found that both Koizumi and the young woman did not look very good. They looked overly tired, with particularly obvious dark circles under their eyes.

Koizumi introduced him rather listlessly: "Officer Megure, this is my financial manager, Miyano Akemi. When I received your call, we had just finished a meeting and were about to drop her off, so we just came together."

Megure Jusan nodded gently: "Hello, Ms. Miyano."

Koizumi: "There is another reason. Officer Megure, when you mentioned that Mr. Nibi-san was in trouble in Fukushima, I guessed that you would definitely ask about the investment in security companies. If you have any questions, just ask Sister Mingmei. She has all the records."

Then, she turned to Miyano Akemi apologetically and said, "I'm sorry to have wasted your time, Akemi. You should have classes today, right?"

Miyano Akemi smiled and said, "It's okay. I've already told my teacher that I can stay at home and concentrate on writing my graduation thesis this week. So it's okay."

"OK, that's good."

Koizumi couldn't help but yawn.

Officer Megure: "The meeting is adjourned at this time in the morning. When did your meeting start?"

Koizumi: "Probably around ten o'clock last night."

Inspector Megure Hanyue grumbled, "What kind of meeting needs to last an entire night?"

"The security company is planning to expand its recruitment on a large scale. They will add several new departments and hundreds of employees, which will involve hundreds of millions of dollars in funding. We have to calculate it carefully."

Inspector Megure was shocked: "What? Actually..."

Before he could finish his question, Aburashi Yoshiaki suddenly popped up from nowhere and said, "What! How come I didn't know about such a big thing?"

Everyone was startled by him.

Yoshiaki Aburashi reached out to grab Koizumi's sleeve, but Nekatsuka stepped forward swiftly and stopped him.

Yubashi was blocked by Nekozuka's tall body, but he completely ignored this oppressive guy and kept asking questions, "Do you need to move to a new address after recruiting so many people? Where to move to? Is it a new building you bought? What new departments will be added? Is there any change in the company's business scope? When will you start large-scale recruitment? And... Don't delay me! I haven't finished asking! Master Sakurai, you should notify me first if there is any news!"

Officer Megure was furious: "Where are the people guarding outside! Guard the gate and don't let any more unauthorized people in!"

Koizumi watched Nekozuka drag Aburashi Yoshiaki away by the collar, then turned to the stunned Miyano Akemi and said helplessly, "Well, Akemi, I guess there are quite a few reporters outside. Why don't you go outside and answer the questions that everyone is concerned about, which will help divert the attention of Officer Megure and the others."

Miyano Akemi smiled and nodded: "That's no problem."

She turned her head and glanced at Officer Megure: "But, isn't it inappropriate for us to hold a company press conference here?"

Koizumi sneered, "What's wrong with that? By the way, we can also promote our partners to the media, especially how this Fukushima No. 2 plans to invest. It's not off topic at all."

Then, she turned around and said with a smile, "Of course, if Officer Megure allows it."

Megure Jusan was helpless: "Even if I don't allow it, that guy Aburashi must have spread the news. Instead of letting those reporters speculate aimlessly, it's better to give them a clear topic. But Sakurai, since you mentioned something related to the Fukushima family's investment, can you guarantee that what Miss Miyano said can represent your own position?"

"Yes, and I guarantee it's absolutely true."

"Okay, that's it."

Officer Megure nodded to Miyano Akemi, "Then I'll leave it to you, Ms. Miyano."

Miyano Akemi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go then."

"Let Nekozuka stay outside as your bodyguard."

"Ok."

Koizumi followed Inspector Megure inside, muttering, "Oh, I didn't expect to hold this press conference in front of Fukushima's house. It's so sloppy. I wanted to announce these contents in front of the newly completed Sakurai Building."

Officer Megure's mouth twitched a little: "Sakurai, how long have you been away from the police academy? This development speed is a bit too alarming."

Koizumi curled his lips: "Do you think I want this? I was forced by the situation."

Officer Megure:...

I always feel that what you said is very Versailles.

"However, since you were in a meeting all night, you can be ruled out as a suspect."

"Eh? Oh, by the way, I haven't asked yet, what happened?"

Officer Megure:...

I raised my head slightly and looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, and a feeling of loneliness arose spontaneously.

You weren't like this before.

When the police called him, he was not in a hurry to help us solve the case. It was only after such a long time at the crime scene that he remembered to ask what happened.

Sakurai, you've changed...

------

Because he was afraid that there would be a conflict between Koizumi and Fukushima's housekeeper as soon as they met, Inspector Megure was a little cautious and did not take her to see the owner of the house first, but took her directly to the crime scene.

Because the on-site investigation had not been completed, Koizumi did not enter the house. He just stood at the door and frowned at the strange situation in the house.

Inspector Megure gave her a brief explanation of the case.

Watching Takuma Tamaoka's body being put into a body bag and carried out, Koizumi stopped the two policemen for a moment, then lowered his head and took another closer look at the body.

"Is this person Tamaoka Takuma?"

Officer Megure's eyes lit up immediately: "Do you know him?"

"I've only seen a photo of him. This man is the current leader of the Mad Dog Society."

Koizumi turned his head and took a look. "The one causing the most trouble in Tokyo recently is this guy's Mad Dog Gang. It is said that in order to get promoted, he killed all the former big bosses in the gang. If there is anything you want to know, you can ask the people in the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department. They should know this matter very well."

"and……"

Koizumi continued to look down at the body: "There are burns near the wound. Does that mean he was shot at close range?"

She raised her hand and made a gun-holding gesture, indicating the distance: "The person who could shoot the victim at such a close distance must be someone he knows or trusts, right?"

He looked up at the strange room in front of him: "He was thrown here again after his death... You said this is Mr. Fukushima Nibi's room?"

Inspector Megure: “Yes.”

Koizumi chuckled. "This is a deterrent, right? But why use the corpse of the leader of the Mad Dog Society to intimidate Mr. Fukushima? Why not someone else? Is there any close relationship between Mr. Fukushima and the leader of the Mad Dog Society?"

"Yeah, I actually thought of that."

Officer Megure frowned. "Before you came, I asked Butler Fukushima if he knew the deceased. His answer was a bit evasive. I could tell he was intentionally hiding something. Or maybe he was deliberately hiding the relationship between Mr. Fukushima and the Mad Dog Society."

Koizumi raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Since you can think of this, there is no need for me to say more, just go ahead and express yourself.

Then she turned her head and looked inside the house, and said again with a serious expression: "Officer Megure, doesn't this scene look familiar to you?"
