Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

David Harris left in a hurry.

He didn't even remember to say goodbye to his acquaintance Nae Oyamada, and left in a hurry.

Koizumi knew that he must be in a hurry to go back and report to his superiors.

After all, although Mr. Harris's status sounds impressive, he is actually just a consular officer, a low-level employee in the consulate. Although he is very satisfied with the plan provided by Koizumi, he cannot make a decision on such a big matter by himself. He must report to his superiors and then wait for the decision of higher-level officials.

Koizumi slumped down on the sofa with his head in his hands and let out a long sigh.

The confrontation with David Harris was not actually long, only two hours, but the process was extremely brain-burning, and she felt that her brain cells had gone on strike.

"Thanks for your hard work."

A cup of hot cocoa was handed to her.

"Here, some sugar."

Koizumi took it and took a sip: "Thank you."

Nae Oyamada sat down next to him and said with a smile, "You are really amazing. I originally just wanted to help you two get together and see if this ambassador has a chance to become your backer, but I didn't expect you to be able to do this in one go."

Koizumi glanced at her and said, "Did you see everything?"

"It's just me. Shinji took the initiative to avoid it."

Nae Oyamada smiled and said, "He is different from me. Although I do business in this world, I don't care about the rules here. And he does business in the other world, but he cares a lot about the rules here. Isn't it funny?"

Koizumi: ...

Not surprising.

The rule is that no matter how bad the quarrel at home is, once an outsider wants to interfere, the family members will generally put aside their differences and unite to face the outsider first.

Just like in the original novel, Rei Furuya hates Akai Shuichi very much, one reason is that he misunderstood that he killed Keimitsu Morobushi, and the other is because Akai Shuichi is an American. He always believes that the struggle between the public security and the organization is an internal struggle, and outsiders like the FBI cannot be allowed to interfere.

It seems that Shinji Hagiya also has similar ideas.

Even if Koizumi had a fight with the organization, it would be considered an internal fight among Japan's own people.

But what Koizumi did today was equivalent to actively bringing people outside the door into the battle, and even inviting them to come in and have a certain say in the home, which can be regarded as treason.

But Shinji Hagiya knew very well that Koizumi was forced to do this. He did not come back to this room to see Koizumi, just to express his attitude.

I understand, but I don't agree. You decide for yourself, and I'll pretend I didn't see it.

Koizumi knew that this incident might become an irreparable rift between him and Shinji Hagiya. They were still allies, but their intimacy had decreased.

...But there is no other way, right? She is just looking for a new way out for herself.

Hopefully, the intervention of the US Consulate can temporarily divert the organization's attention and buy her more time to prepare.

Koizumi was silent for a moment, then continued, "Since you saw it on the surveillance camera, did you save any evidence?"

Nae Oyamada handed over a videotape. "Yes. The images and sounds are recorded. They are very clear. They are enough to be used as a weapon to coerce David Harris."

Koizumi took it silently, played with it in his hand for a while, and then put it into the storage space.

Nae Oyamada watched this scene with great interest. "How interesting. The same thing happened with the shotgun just now. I couldn't tell where you hid it."

Koizumi smiled and said, "If someone can see through this magic, it will be meaningless."

Huh, a weapon to coerce David Harris?

In fact, it is also a weapon to judge me.

If this thing really gets out, David Harris will at most lose his job, and he can just find another job after returning home.

and I……

And guess whether I believe you, Nae Oyamada, you made more than one backup?

Koizumi stood up: "It's too late, I want to go back."

Nae Oyamada also stood up and said with a smile: "I am very interested in that special talent recruitment fair. Can I go and take a look?"

"Of course. I will invite all TSE shareholders to come along."

At the entrance of the Wildfire Bar, Koizumi waved and watched Oyamada Nae leave in a private car.

After making sure that the other person was far away, the faint smile on her face completely collapsed.

Oh, frigate...

Ironic.

And it is obvious that the "first escort ship" that Nae Oyamada referred to was not Shinji Hagiya or Doctor Tani as Koizumi originally imagined.

She must be talking about her American father.

As long as he cooperates with the US Consulate, this woman is reliable.

But if there were a conflict of interest between her and her "American father" one day, Koizumi could hardly imagine what choice the Oyamada family would make.

Unless she can bring greater benefits to the Oyamada family.

In conclusion, Nae Oyamada's credibility is not as good as Shinji Hagiya and Dr. Tani. Although the Oyamada family can use it without worry during the shelf life, the core secrets must not be known to her.

Koizumi was walking alone on the street, a little dazed.

At this time, she should go to the Dahei Bar to show her face, and then continue to collect singularities, or simply go back to the office and have a good sleep...

But she was in absolutely no mood.

Koizumi sat down on the curb, staring blankly.

...Am I really doing the right thing?

...Is there actually a better solution?

…What should I do if I feel like I can no longer look those five people in the face?

Although it was already early in the morning, there were still many people walking on the bar street. There were many staggering drunk zombies on the road, and some people simply lay drunk in the middle of the sidewalk. Koizumi blended in perfectly and was completely inconspicuous.

She stared at the delicate and colorful lights on the bar street in a daze, and suddenly she felt a ray of light stinging her eyes.

At first, Xiaoquan thought it was just the neon lights of some entertainment venue on the street flashing. However, when the light quickly expanded in front of her eyes, Xiaoquan suddenly realized that it was not a neon light, but a car driving towards her!

Koizumi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she instinctively pushed herself up with one hand and dodged to the side.

However, the car deviated from its original trajectory, and its headlights turned in the direction she was avoiding, and it crashed into her at an even faster speed.

In a flash, the car rushed in front of her.

Koizumi retreated at a high speed, lying on the ground, and turned into a cat the moment he got under the car. He barely avoided between the four wheels, and then regained his human form the moment he left the cover.

In the eyes of others, Koizumi escaped from under the car and was lucky not to be injured.

Koizumi dodged it, but the wall behind her didn't have legs long enough to dodge.

With a loud bang, the car crashed into the wall, making a deafening noise and stalled. A man kicked open the slightly deformed car door and jumped out, hiding his face and running away.

Koizumi suddenly woke up amid the panicked shouts of passers-by and calls for the police.

This was not a traffic accident, this was a deliberate murder against her!

Someone wants her life!

...I just felt a little emo, didn't I? You don't need to give me this kind of stimulation therapy!

Koizumi cursed wildly in his mind.

She was about to chase the fleeing driver when suddenly someone pressed her shoulders from behind and something cold was buckled around her neck with a slight "click" sound.

Just as Koizumi was about to attack the person behind him with his elbow, something hard pressed against his lower back. A man's voice said, "Be quiet if you don't want me to detonate you."

bomb?

That thing around my neck is a remote-controlled bomb?

The man poked her waist with the gun and said in a low voice: "Put your hands on your sides and don't move. Then walk forward and leave here. If you don't want to die, then be quiet."

Not being sure what the thing around his neck was, Koizumi could only do as he was told and spread out his palms to indicate that he was not doing anything naughty.

They hadn't walked far when the man gave another order: "Turn right and go into the alley."

Koizumi: ...

Okay, I think I already know what's going to happen next.
