Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi was so busy today that he was like a top and couldn't stop at all.

Not only was the day packed with activities, but the night was also busy, with three shows in a row. It was already close to two in the morning, but there was still a fourth show to come.

But she is in a very good mood now and doesn't feel tired at all.

Koizumi glanced at Morobushi Keimitsu who was driving with a smile, and sent an email to Hagiwara Kenji.

[Sorry, I just finished my work here. Are you still waiting? ]

[Waiting, Matsuda is here too. 】

[Okay, we'll be there soon.]

After careful consideration, Koizumi still felt that it would be better to selectively inform the four people about Morobushi Keimitsu's current situation.

In short, she couldn't let Zhu Fu Jingguang completely lose contact with the five-member group after his transformation, as that would go against her original intention of wanting the five people to fight together.

Today, Kenji Hagiwara should be considered the best candidate among the four.

But since Matsuda is here too, it doesn't matter if we take him along. These two have no connection with the organization anyway, unlike Furuya Rei.

According to Koizumi, the current identity of Morifushi Keimitsu must be kept secret from Furuya Rei. It's not that I don't trust him...

No, I just don't trust him!

After previous encounters, Koizumi always felt that this guy was still somewhat unreliable as a newcomer, so it would be better to let him settle down for a while.

Moreover, on the day of the performance, if Keimitsu Morobushi and Hikaru Midorikawa are placed in front of him at the same time, guess what his reaction will be?

Zhu Fu himself must be looking forward to it too, right?

I wonder if Hagiwara and Matsuda will be able to recognize him later?

Hehehe...

Moreover, gathering these three people together would make it easier for her to determine who still had the flag stuck in her body.

------

The fiery red Porsche drove into Hagiwara's repair shop unimpeded and plunged into the open workshop door.

"Wow!"

Hagiwara Kenji was amazed: "This car is so cool!"

Matsuda Jinpei walked around the car and said in confusion, "Huh, there's no pit?"

I looked up and saw Koizumi getting down from the passenger seat.

"Oh, no wonder."

Koizumi: ...

"Who opened that? Did Zero come here with you?"

Koizumi ignored him, suppressed his inner laughter, and walked aside to watch coldly.

The driver's door opens.

When they saw the person coming out, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda were stunned.

Hagiwara glanced at Koizumi in confusion, while Matsuda looked wary.

Seeing Koizumi's attitude after getting off the car, Zhu Fu Jingguang already understood her idea. Just in time, he also wanted to give it a try, so he pulled up his hood before getting off the car and put himself back into the role of Midorikawa Hikaru.

Hey, it’s just like you, Zhu Fu Jingguang, you have such a tacit understanding.

Koizumi tried to suppress the corners of his mouth and raised his voice: "Let's talk here, or find a place to sit down?"

Without waiting for Kenji Hagiwara to speak, Jinpei Matsuda kicked two stools over and took the lead in expressing his attitude that he did not want outsiders to enter his territory.

Zhu Fujingguang grabbed his hood and lowered his head even more. Under the incandescent light, the long scar at the end of his left eye was particularly glaring.

Kenji Hagiwara silently looked at the hooded man in front of him.

Sakurai never brings irrelevant people here, so this is...

Ah, could it be the one who helped her kill the bomber today...

Hagiwara Kenji's attitude softened instantly: "Please sit down first. I'll get something to drink. What would you like to drink?"

Eh, Hagiwara's attitude...

Has he discovered it? Are his eyes so sharp?

Koizumi saw Hagiwara Kenji winking at him, so he responded, "I want to drink tea. What kind of tea do you have?"

"Wow, I don't remember either, maybe there was?"

"Then I'll go with you to take a look."

When walking out of the factory gate, Koizumi looked back. Matsuda Jinpei, the super intuitive guy, probably sensed a familiar aura from Morobushi Keimitsu, and was staring at him with a frown.

She chuckled silently, turned around and followed Kenji Hagiwara away.

Entering the kitchen, Hagiwara Kenji took out the tea box with familiarity and asked, "Green tea, black tea?"

"black tea."

"it is good."

Then the room became quiet.

When the water in the kettle was almost boiling, Hagiwara Kenji suddenly asked, "Is that the person outside the one who helped you kill the bomber?"

That’s right.

Koizumi nodded: "Yes."

"Need to hide him? I can give him to you for use no problem."

Eh? So you didn't recognize me.

Koizumi found it funny and said jokingly, "Is it okay to say that? You are a policeman."

"But I can't repay you for saving my life."

Hagiwara Kenji turned his head and said with a playful smile: "Why don't I just marry you as agreed, Kuro-chan."

Koizumi suddenly remembered the jokes that everyone played in the dormitory before doing the actual combat drill with the five-member police academy team.

At that time, almost everyone agreed that if the black cat was a cat demon, it should be sent to the laboratory for biopsy. Only Kenji Hagiwara was different and said that he wanted to marry it and live off it!

Just based on the two seconds he appeared in front of Hagiwara today, Koizumi knew that he must have recognized him at that time, but he didn't expect that he had guessed it to this extent.

Koizumi couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hagiwara, I didn't expect that you would be so determined to be a gigolo."

She acquiesced...

She admitted it!

All my speculations were correct!

Faced with Koizumi's teasing, Hagiwara Kenji swallowed his saliva and could not laugh anymore.

"Oh my god, this is so embarrassing!"

Kenji Hagiwara suddenly hugged his head to cover his face.

Koizumi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Don't worry, he doesn't have much of a dark history. He's much better than that guy Matsuda."

She glanced at the kitchen door. "That guy should reflect on what he has done."

Although she had known that she would be exposed sooner or later, she did not expect that Hagiwara would be the first to discover her hidden identity.

As for her own mood, it was much calmer than she had imagined. It was as if what was revealed was not some earth-shattering secret, but a successful prank on her family.

The kettle made a humming sound and the water boiled.

Kenji Hagiwara put down his hands, and his entire face, ears, and neck turned red, like a boiled lobster.

He picked up the kettle, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't pour the water, so he had to give up.

Koizumi wiped away the tears from his laughter, stepped forward and took over, saying, "Let me do it."

As soon as she approached, Kenji Hagiwara jumped to the side as if he was startled.

But he reacted immediately and explained hastily: "No, no! I'm not scared or anything, I just, I just feel a little bit..."

"Yeah, it's okay. I understand."

"So, who are you..."

"Humans are no different from you."

"So those are just your special abilities?"

"Yes."

"It turns out there are unscientific people like you in this world."

"Haha, to tell you the truth, I'm not the only one."

"What, really?!"

"Well, although it is very rare, the abilities vary."

"So you are... the very strong one?"

Koizumi smiled and said, "I am the strongest one."

"Wow, that's amazing. How did you get this ability? It's not something you were born with, is it?"

The smile on Koizumi's face faded.

She paused for a moment before whispering back, "...It's a curse."

Hagiwara Kenji's originally somewhat excited mood instantly cooled down.

He looked at the expression on Koizumi's face and asked cautiously, "The one with the strongest ability is..."

Koizumi smiled and regained his cheerful tone: "Yes, it is the strongest curse."

“…Will it be fatal?”

"I know how."

"...Will he come back to life?"

"If it's me, maybe it can be done."

"What's the price?"

"..."

"That time Victoria, you..."

"So slow, what are you talking about?" Jinpei Matsuda suddenly poked his head in from outside and said impatiently.

Koizumi picked up the tea tray and walked out with a smile: "We are talking about the Victoria bombing."

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes lit up: "Hagi has already told you? This bomb is an improved version of that tutorial! But I found the weakness of this thing, let me tell you..."

Kenji Hagiwara followed behind the two people, silently staring at Koizumi's back.

Victoria, were you really dead that time?

Have you predicted our future?

What burdens have your abilities placed on you?

Is there anything I can do for you?

Even if I really want to get married, I can do it!
