Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

The man came over and held out his hand to Koizumi, looking at her eagerly. "Hello, Ms. Sakurai. My name is David Harris, and I am a consular officer at the U.S. Consulate in Japan. My friend Ms. Oyamada recommended your security company to me, saying that you are an excellent professional. Although I have heard of your name for a long time, I didn't expect you to be so outstanding! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes this time, I really couldn't believe that your company actually has such a special talent with outstanding abilities. To be honest, this is really unexpected."

Koizumi kept smiling throughout the whole process.

Haha, you are worthy of being a politician.

It's amazing that you can speak so fluently with such contradictory words, and you don't even prepare your lies in advance.

It is called a safety assessment test, but it is not the original process at all.

You say it is to test the company's capabilities, but does the test you gave have anything to do with my company?

Moreover, when you say "professionals" or "special talents", I always feel like you have some hidden meaning.

So is there something wrong with David Harris's neon language, or is he doing it on purpose?

Seeing that Koizumi did not respond after hearing his identity, but did not show any rejection, a gleam of light flashed in David Harris's eyes.

He turned to Oyamada Nae and said, "Can I talk to Ms. Sakurai alone?"

Nae Oyamada smiled at Koizumi and said, "Sakurai, what do you mean?"

Koizumi: “…Okay.”

She really wanted to see what the American consul was thinking.

So Nae Oyamada got up first and left the room.

Shinji Hagiya, who had been silent all the time, looked at Koizumi meaningfully, then stood up and left.

The door is closed.

Koizumi looked at David Harris and made a "please continue" gesture.

David Harris didn't care about her impolite attitude. He sat back on the sofa, took a sip of his teacup, and then continued slowly, "I have indeed heard of your name, Ms. Sakurai. I don't know if you believe it or not, but I actually have a collection of your newspaper clippings, which records all the reports after you left the police academy. From the reason why you left the police academy, to the various cases you assisted the police in solving, to..."

David Harris stared at Koizumi's face and said, "Then there was your amazing speech at the police academy graduation ceremony."

Koizumi just smiled and didn't say anything.

"It's incredible that the Neon Metropolitan Police Department would give up on someone as outstanding as you, just because you are too individualistic. This is a huge waste of talent resources! If this happened in the United States, you can bring all the people who insulted you to court. We have zero tolerance for such human rights violations.

"Believe me, if it were in our democratic and free America, with your ability and the excellent qualities you have demonstrated in various events in the past, you would definitely be able to get a job and salary that is commensurate with your ability in a professional organization."

David Harris winked at Koizumi as he spoke: "To be frank, considering the treatment you are receiving now, in my opinion, it is understandable even if you give up your Japanese nationality. Ms. Sakurai, don't you feel wronged at all?"

Koizumi just smiled and didn't express his opinion.

David Harris narrowed his eyes slightly, a little unsure whether the woman understood his subtext, so he chose to return to the script he had designed long ago.

"I was a little excited, so I couldn't help but say a few more words. I hope you don't mind. Okay, now let's get back to the topic.

"Generally speaking, the U.S. Consulate has its own security team, but given the impressive capabilities demonstrated by TSE this time, I would like to extend a sincere cooperation application to your company on behalf of the Consulate. I hope to work hand in hand with your team to provide security for our Consulate and staff. In addition, I believe that we can also have deeper cooperation and exchanges in other areas. What do you think?"

Other fields...

In-depth communication...

Give up Japanese nationality...

Well-paid job...

Koizumi finally spoke up: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Harris. But this is a bit sudden. Could you give me some time to think about it?"

David Harris smiled and said, "Of course. How long will it take you? A week or..."

"One hour."

David Harris was a little stunned by Koizumi's answer.

He considered it for a moment and asked tentatively, "Is it just cooperation at the security company level, or are you considering deeper cooperation?"

Koizumi smiled and said, "If it's just about the security company's cooperation, I can agree to it now, Mr. Consul. What I want to consider is the in-depth cooperation you just mentioned."

David Harris laughed and said, "I admire your efficient way of doing things, Ms. Sakurai! Since it's only for an hour, do you need me to leave the room?"

"up to you."

Koizumi put himself in a stable and comfortable position, lowering his eyes slightly: "Just promise not to disturb me, you are welcome."

No longer paying attention to David Harris, Koizumi immediately returned his consciousness to the system space.

"Sakurai, you heard everything."

"Ah."

Sakurai Izumi's expression was a little solemn.

Koizumi: "If I understand correctly, this is subversion, right?"

Izumi Sakurai: "Yes, I think your understanding is fine."

Koizumi said a little irritably: "So is this guy taking advantage of the Oyamada family, or is this Oyamada Nae's initiative to make connections?"

"Let's not worry about that for now. Quan, what do you think?"

Koizumi looked up at Sakurai, "That's exactly what I wanted to ask you."

"My opinion is that this David Harris is not trustworthy. It's not that his identity is problematic, but his purpose is very problematic. Moreover, he did not tell the truth."

"Yeah, I know. Can politicians tell the truth? That's ridiculous. I think this guy is not interested in the security company. He is just after me. But I don't understand why he wants to recruit me. What is his purpose?"

"Could it be related to the organization? If both the FBI and the CIA have confirmed your membership in the organization, then this person should also be an insider, right? After all, the work of the consulate should include intelligence content."

"...According to this inference, he recruited me in order to fund me as a member of his organization and cause trouble for the Neon police and government?"

“It’s not impossible.”

"Then I'll test him again. If this is really his purpose, then we can indeed cooperate. What do you think?"

Sakurai Izumi smiled nonchalantly: "Do whatever you want. No matter what your choice is, I fully support your decision."

"My choice..."

Koizumi laughed at himself: "Oh, do I still have any choice? Gin is getting more and more aggressive, and I can feel that the time for the organization to attack me is approaching. I'm afraid I don't have much time left to prepare.

"Just when I needed a big tree that could compete with the organization, a suitable guy came to me on his own initiative. Of course I couldn't let him go.

"Even if David Harris hadn't shown up, I was planning to use the FBI and CIA to bluff the security company. I can only say that he showed up at the right time.

"Tsk, first I was an undercover agent for the police, then I was an undercover agent for Rum. Now I've been upgraded again. I've really become a professional spy."

The faces of the five members of the police academy flashed through Koizumi's mind.

They will hate me.

Sakurai Izumi stepped forward and hugged her lovingly: "If the psychological pressure is too great..."

Koizumi pushed her away and smiled indifferently: "Psychological pressure? There is no such thing. Japan is not my country. And they treat me with the attitude of using me to death, so how can there be any betrayal. I have only one goal from beginning to end. Complete the mission and then go home!"
