Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

The four of them had a lively evening.

When the sky was getting slightly brighter, Morobushi Keimitsu decided to stay in the repair shop for another day. Hagiwara and Matsuda didn't have to go to work on their day off, but Koizumi needed to go back to the office to get a face-check, so he drove away alone and said goodbye.

As soon as he saw her climb into the driver's seat, Kenji Hagiwara looked at this handsome car with regret and sighed.

However, Xiaoquan didn't drive far before she returned the car and rented it out. She had just played a trick and left two eavesdropping devices in the repair shop before leaving, wanting to hear what the three guys would say about her behind her back.

Sure enough, as soon as she left, the topic became her.

Zhu Fujingguang couldn't resist the temptation, and as soon as Koizumi left, he immediately asked the two people what the "whisper" was about last night.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations. After listening to Hagiwara's story about Koizumi being Kuro-chan, Morobushi Kagemitsu just calmly said "As expected" and nothing else, which disappointed Hagiwara and Matsuda who were waiting to see the show.

Then the three of them reviewed the process of yesterday's explosion from their own perspectives.

After listening to Keimitsu Morobushi's account of how Koizumi jumped down from the fifth floor and shot and whipped the bomber's corpse, the eavesdropping device fell into silence for a short while.

"So this is what happened to the body that was shattered into pieces."

"Do you think she did it based on the scene she predicted? Hagi, you are so pitiful."

"...Wait, that's not right! If she was the one who killed the bomber, then what's the matter with her alibi?"

"Who gave her an alibi?"

"It is said that she was doing a career investigation in the Investigation Division 1 with three children at the time."

"Three little kids... that should be those three, right?"

"You mean the three we met when we went to the hospital?"

"Yeah. Kudo Shinichi, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, if I remember correctly, these are the three children."

"Oh, by the way, it turns out that Officer Mori from the Investigation Division, the writer Yusaku Kudo, and Hayase from the Traffic Division were all here as well."

"Hiss, how did she do it..."

"Maybe he hid in the bathroom temporarily and teleported here."

"Huh? Teleport?"

"Jinping, give me your amulet."

"What?"

"Look at this of mine..."

"Where's your five-yen coin... why is it all powder?"

"Hey, why is this of mine...ah, I remember now. At the time, I was really surprised how she could find my location so accurately. It turns out that she relied on this!"

"Well, maybe this is the prop she uses to locate us."

"If it's just for positioning, it shouldn't break. This should be a one-time teleportation item."

"…It turns out that she started planning so early."

"Now that the coin is broken, it should be unusable, right?"

"…Ah! I should have asked her for another five-yen coin."

"Why, aren't you no longer in danger?"

"But she might have! She should have also considered teleporting to our side for safety in case of an emergency, right? I should ask her for another one later."

"If she still has it. I think this thing is definitely not unlimited. Maybe there is a price to pay when using it."

"Well...as she said herself, all abilities come with a price."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"Zhu Fu, do you know what she calls her ability? It's a curse..."

"The strongest ability is also the strongest curse. It is lethal, but can also bring people back to life. Hagi asked her what the price of resurrection was, but she wouldn't tell me. In other words, all abilities should have a price, just big or small."

There was silence again for a moment in the bug.

"It is known that she has the ability to transform into a cat. And it should be a fixed black cat form."

"Her extraordinary agility and speed may be abilities brought by her cat form."

"Her agility and speed are indeed a bit extraordinary. Although her strength and physique are also higher than the average level of women of the same age, they are still within the normal range, so they should be the result of her acquired training."

"Yes, she did learn her fighting skills by herself. I still remember her fighting skills when she was in the police academy. She was the last among her peers. She really worked hard this year."

"Perhaps there is an ability similar to that of another dimension?"

"Eh?"

"Isn't she able to produce props out of thin air all the time? She herself explains it as magic. Small items can be explained, but producing beer out of thin air, especially cold beer, is really not very scientific."

"Beer? Why does she carry that stuff with her? She doesn't drink."

"It's not that she doesn't drink, but she rarely drinks. Maybe it's to keep herself awake all the time. When I met her last night, she had just solved the problem with Hagiwara. She was in a relaxed mood and did drink a can of beer."

"... Do you think her alternate dimension can hold living things? For example, a living person?"

“Isn’t this a bit too much?”

"Hmm...too."

"And that kind of space must have a size limit, right?"

"Is there a limit of two cans of beer for her?"

"..."

"Beer aside, the gun she used to kill the bomber must have been carried in space."

"… Do you remember the time when you accompanied me to catch the murderer who killed my parents? The two police officers who investigated the scene said that there were no shell casings or gunpowder residues at the scene. It was cleaned very cleanly."

"Oh my god, is this a recyclable space? This is beyond my imagination."

"If she stores all her equipment, including clothes, in this space, wouldn't that mean..."

"Disguise! There is also a disguise. When she disguised herself as Zhu Fu, none of us four recognized her. The face can be made into a mask, the hair can be made into a wig, but that height and muscle lines are just too unreasonable!"

"…What's up with the muscle lines?"

"At that time, I pulled you, no, I pulled her to the ring to fight twice. Because she was sweating, she took off her coat to wipe the sweat... What was that expression on your face?"

"..."

"Hey! Even if she takes off her clothes, what we see is your body!"

"Stop talking! Really, stop talking!"

"Pfft...Xiao Zhenping, you are really amazing. You can actually let a girl take off her clothes in front of you."

"…But that's Morobushi's face and body! And how do I know…she acted so convincingly!"

"Does acting count?"

"It's probably not her acting skills. We talked about this once before, and she performed a split-personality acting for me on the spot, which really amazed me."

"…Are you sure you don't really have a split personality?"

"Uh, that shouldn't be the case... Wait, she was..."

"At that time?"

"I asked her what the quick tricks were for acting, and she said self-deprecatingly that it was just a business deal."

"Transaction? You mean the price of ability?"

"I misunderstood her..."

"what happened?"

"I, I thought she had some shady dealings with Mr. Fujiwara..."

"...You think too much. How could she have such a severe fear of men?... Hey, come to think of it, did you feel that she didn't seem to have any symptoms of fear of men when she was with us? It was the same when she was fighting Matsuda, when she was helping me fix the car, and last night when she sat next to Morobushi. We were very close to each other, but she didn't show any adverse reactions at all."

After hearing this, Koizumi himself, who was on the other side of the bug, was also stunned.

It seems, indeed?

It seemed like she really hadn't felt the oppression and fear brought by men for a long time?

Especially when I was in contact with these five, I had completely forgotten about such things.

Is she cured?

Oh no, she still felt uncomfortable when she was close to Shuichi Akai.

...What about Gin? She seemed to have never felt an uncomfortable aura from Gin.

Why is that?

Come to think of it, she didn't have that kind of feeling towards her father and brother before she traveled through time.

So, Gin is dad? Ugh, brother?

“Maybe the trust has increased?”

"Pfft, maybe you don't treat us as men, or you forgot that you are women."

Tsk, Matsuda...

"Anyway, it's a good thing. It would be great if I could help her completely resolve this psychological barrier."

"Then you have no chance, Hagi, don't even dream about getting married."

"Ha, you mean you want to compete? What qualifications do you have to comment on me when you still refuse to apologize to others?"

"Please stop flirting for a moment and let me ask a question first."

"Who flirted with him?"

"Who flirted with him?"

"Should we tell those two people the secret about Sakurai?"

"As for the squad leader, tell him when the time is right. As for Zero... 3, 2, 1!"

"Did not say!"

"Don't tell him!"

"Did not say."

"Well, great, we've reached an agreement! It's such a happy decision!"

Well, we agree!

Koizumi raised the corners of his mouth happily.

At this time, she had returned to the door of the office. Before she got out of the taxi, she saw someone standing at the door of the office, obviously waiting for her.

Koizumi was a little surprised.

She casually retrieved the two eavesdropping devices, so unfortunately she missed the subsequent conversation between the three people.

"Jin Ping, I'm sorry, I plan to leave the mobile team."

"Oh, I see."

Jinpei Matsuda remained very calm, as if he had predicted Hagiwara's decision.

Zhu Fu Jingguang asked in surprise: "Hey, why is this?"

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said, "Didn't you say that there is a problem with the Metropolitan Police Department? I plan to try and see if I can get some clues out of it. The Mobile Squad is a little inconvenient, so I want to move to a department that is closer to the core of the problem. It just so happens that the bombing case that nearly cost me my life is a great excuse. But which department should I be transferred to? Do you have any good recommendations?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang thought for a moment and said, "If it is a matter related to the organization, the Criminal Division or the Organized Crime Countermeasures Division may be good choices."

Matsuda Jinpei had been leaning back in his chair, staring at the ceiling in a trance, when he suddenly said, "Ministry of Public Security."

Hagiwara Kenji was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at Zhufu Jingguang: "Yes, the Ministry of Public Security! If you are in trouble in the future Zhufu because the undercover list is leaked, then it must be the Ministry of Public Security's problem! And..."

He smiled and flirted with Zhu Fu Jingguang: "How about I be your contact person, Officer Zhu Fu? This way, even if you change your identity and are temporarily removed from the list, as long as I am here, you will not be able to break off contact with the Metropolitan Police Department. This idea of ​​Jin Ping is really good!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang widened his eyes in surprise.

"What about you, Jin Ping? Do you want to move?"

"I've also been thinking about going to the Criminal Police Department."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said, "Wow, that's not bad..."

"But it's not the right time yet." Jinpei Matsuda interrupted him, "The guy who wrote the explosives tutorial will definitely come out to cause trouble again, and his next target may be Sakurai who has repeatedly disrupted his operations. So..."

Matsuda Jinpei threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and stomped it out: "I will not leave until the tutorial issue is resolved."
