Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Kato Tomoji came out of the apartment building.

Ran Shanli, who was smoking outside the apartment building, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and walked over to him: "How is it, is everything okay?"

"no problem."

Kato Tomoji smiled proudly: "Such a big thing has not been discovered by anyone for three days. It's really amazing."

Ran Shanli was silent for a moment: "I say, if the police don't agree to our request, are they really going to detonate it?"

"of course!"

Kato Tomoji glared in dissatisfaction: "We spent so much energy on the plan and spent so much money on the materials, but we only studied these two..."

He turned his head and looked around warily, "...How much time and energy did it take to build such a giant device? I thought you should have made up your mind long ago!"

Someyama Rikiya: "...Why don't we go after the Sakurai Building? At least we can be sure that the woman is really rich, right?"

"Are you crazy?!"

Kato Tomoji said angrily, "Haven't we discussed this issue before? Look at the record of that woman since her debut. No matter if she was a bomber, a robber or a drug dealer, no one who faced her had a good ending! To be able to achieve such results, either she has extremely outstanding abilities or she has someone behind her! Even the chief inspector can't beat this kind of person. Do you think you can do it?"

"We don't really intend to kill her, we just want to make some money..."

Kato Tomoji cursed, "If I had known you were such a loser, I would have done it myself!"

Ran Shanli also lowered his head and muttered, "I just feel that the money exchanged for human lives is too hot to handle, and it's not fun to spend it..."

Kato Tomoji narrowed his eyes slightly, put his hand in his pocket and grabbed the pistol hidden inside: "...Does this mean you want to quit?"

"No, no!"

Ran Shanliye glanced at his pocket for a moment and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant!"

"Then stop talking nonsense!"

Kato Tomoji looked at his companion with concern, then changed his tone and said, "Think about it carefully. After we get the 50 million, we can just find a remote place to hide for two years, and then we can go abroad to enjoy ourselves! Don't you want to leave this hellhole of Neon and enjoy life?"

Someyama Riki also muttered quietly: "...Does the Metropolitan Police Department really have that much money?"

"you!"

Kato Tomoji pretended to hit someone.

Ran Shanli also hurriedly held his head and begged for mercy: "I won't say anything anymore! I won't say anything anymore! I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you in everything!"

"Tsk, I'm so unlucky to have a friend like you!"

Kato Tomoji threw a remote control into Someyama Rikiya's hand and said, "Find a place to hide nearby. I'll go to the other side to check the situation. Wait for my call!"

"Oh."

Kato Tomoji walked away for two steps, then turned back worriedly: "I'll call the police, I'll talk to the cops at the Metropolitan Police Department, I'll be responsible for getting the money, you just need to find a place to hide, keep an eye on the situation here, and wait for my news. It's just a small thing, can you do it?"

Someyama Rikiya looked at him gratefully: "Okay, I got it. Zhiji, be careful."

"... Damn it, I should have called him a retard! Why did I drag a coward like you as a teammate?"

Kato Tomoji walked away cursing.

As soon as Kato left, Someyama Riki's timid and cowardly look changed.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly at his companion's receding back, then walked towards a nearby coffee shop with a calm expression.

------

In the meeting room No. 3 specially approved by Inspector Megure for them, Miss Hayase, an old acquaintance from the traffic department next door, also came to help and was introducing the job of traffic police to the three elementary school students.

Koizumi leaned against the wall and looked at them with a smile.

The two children, Xiaolan and Sonoko, were obviously listening very attentively, only Kudo Shinichi looked impatient and turned back to look at Koizumi from time to time.

Maori Kogoro prepared two cups of coffee in the rest area with ease, handed one to Koizumi, and yelled at Kudo, "You little brat, pay attention. This is a career survey you requested, don't waste other people's time!"

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

Seeing that Kudo had finally behaved himself, Kogoro Mouri gave Koizumi a look, and the two of them quietly left the meeting room and closed the door.

"So today is really just a career investigation?"

Koizumi nodded and looked into the room through the glass window: "For them, yes."

Maori Kogoro frowned: "Are you planning to ask us to help you prove your alibi?"

Koizumi smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Uncle Maori, I'm really just taking a day off today."

Kogoro Maori glanced at the cell phone that she had been holding in her hand from beginning to end, and said nothing.

"Okay, okay. I admit that something did happen today."

Koizumi lowered his voice: "But it's not what you think. It's to save people."

She spoke the last two words very softly, so softly that if Kogoro Mouri had not been staring at her lip movements, he would not have understood.

Kogoro Maori narrowed his eyes slightly.

He turned his gaze away, looked at the three children in the room and was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Then why did you call me here? What do you need me to do?"

Koizumi smiled, his eyes fixed on Kudo Shinichi's back: "Although these three children are unexpected factors, I am only worried about that one. Help me keep an eye on him, his curiosity is really excessive."

Maori Kogoro didn't even need to turn around to know who she was talking about: "Is that all?"

"Yeah, that's all. Please."

It happened that Kudo Shinichi turned around and looked back again.

When he found that Koizumi and Maori Kogoro were not behind him, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and stood up suddenly and prepared to run out to find someone. Just as he ran over and grabbed the door handle, he saw the faces of the two people behind the glass and met Maori Kogoro's unfriendly eyes.

Maori Kogoro muttered: "This brat really needs to be punished."

He opened the door and asked, "Where are you going?"

Little Kudo was frightened by the gloomy tone of Kogoro Mori, and his head suddenly started to hurt again.

He glanced at Koizumi, who was holding a coffee cup and smiling but had no intention of caring, and said with a pout, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"What a troublesome kid." Maori Kogoro put the cup on the table and reached out to grab Kudo Shinichi by the back of his neck. "I'll take you there."

"Hey, put me down, I can walk by myself!"

"No, you'll run around."

"Let me go, I want Sister Sakurai to take me there!"

"…Do you know what you're talking about? Asking a girl to take you to the bathroom? Do you know how old you are, you pervert!"

"Oh no, that's not it! Sakurai-nee, help me!"

Koizumi waved at him with a smile, standing still: "I still have to take care of Xiaolan and Sonoko here, go with Mr. Maori."

At this moment, the cell phone in her hand rang.

Koizumi smiled at the three people in the room and kindly "helped them" close the door: "I won't disturb you. Hayase, you continue."

After making sure that no one was paying attention to her, she lowered her head to check her phone.

[Dad, the keyword "bomb" was found in the alarm call. There are two locations involved, one in Mingjiang District and the other in Tiancang District. We are tracking the location of the alarm call. (??w??)?]

it has started!

【Received, continue.】

Koizumi sent the two addresses to the mailboxes of Furuya Rei and Morobushi Keimitsu respectively.

[Now, go over there and wait. Don't expose yourself, and observe from a distance.]

【receive. 】

[Received. I will bring the sniper rifle. ]
