Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

On the evening of December 12, after leaving the Daikoku Bar and finalizing the details with Ethan Hondou, Koizumi dressed up as Morifushi Keimitsu and went to the safe house.

As a result, she sat there empty-handed until the early morning, when the sky was slightly brighter, but the raid that she had expected did not happen.

Although he was sure that Gin would not choose to kill people in broad daylight, Koizumi still carefully shook off the spies chasing him, found a place to turn into a cat and then returned, lurking near the safe house.

In the afternoon, she saw Gin's people starting to enter the venue one after another. There was also light reflection from a lens on a high-rise building not far away, and it seemed that someone was using a telescope to observe the movements here.

It was not until then that Koizumi suddenly remembered that in the original plot, Morobushi Kagemitsu died on December 12th.

It seems that according to the coercive force of the world's will, not only the plot needs to be reproduced, but also the time needs to be reproduced?

That means tomorrow morning.

However, the original role of Shuichi Akai was replaced by Hikaru Midorikawa, and the original Keimitsu Morobushi became herself.

As for Toru Amuro who originally came over to make a cameo appearance...

After figuring out what was going on, Koizumi simply went back to the safe house under the identity of Zhu Fu Jingguang.

First, he sent an email to Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, asking them to keep an eye on Rei Furuya tonight at all costs.

This guy is not a code member yet. If he comes over without permission, big problems will definitely arise.

Apart from anything else, he had no way of explaining the source of his information and his relationship with Zhu Fu Jingguang. If he really came over, it would either be a handle or death. So this person must not show up!

As for who will replace him...

Koizumi smiled knowingly.

She had a good meal and slept for a few hours to recuperate.

When it got dark, he carefully checked his mask and clothes, loaded Zhu Fu Jingguang's pistol with a police number, put the mobile phone used to contact the police in his pocket, prepared the props for sacrifice for resurrection, and checked the singularity storage pool.

She originally thought that maybe she could use Zhu Fu's puppet to fool people.

But since the guest role will most likely be Gin himself, there is no other choice but for her to do it herself.

Koizumi smiled as he looked at "Zhufushi Keiko" in the mirror.

Everything is ready.

Well then, let’s get started.

------

As the night deepened, around 11 o'clock, a few cat meows were heard downstairs.

[Cat demon boss, they are surrounding us! ]

In the bedroom on the second floor, Koizumi, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

She walked to the window, gently opened the tightly drawn curtains a little and looked out, just in time to see two people walking downstairs to the safe house.

A stray cat lying on a nearby wall shouted: [They are picking the lock! ]

It's finally here.

Koizumi calmly picked up her coat and put it on. The cell phone that she had originally stuffed into her pocket was pressed against her chest, right where her heart was.

She reached out and pressed it, smiling.

Don't be impatient, World Will. Unlike the time with Hagiwara, I will not fight you this time.

Same script, but with three more dramatic actors, you wouldn't mind, right?

There were the sounds of footsteps groping up the stairs, the slight creaking of the floor, the suppressed breathing of the person standing behind the door, and then the slight sound of the door opening.

Just as the other person pushed open the bedroom door, Koizumi suddenly broke open the window and jumped down from the second floor.

There was a "whoosh" sound beside her ear, and a bullet flew past her cheek and shattered the glass.

The timing is not right. Not to mention Morobushi firing a shot, even if Akai Shuichi came, or Gin personally went into battle, it would definitely be just a side effect.

Koizumi was not panicked at all, and even found it a little funny.

In order to make the performance more realistic, she specifically asked Sakurai to temporarily uninstall the agility skill. The moment she landed, her legs and ankles felt a huge impact for the first time in a long time, and they were slightly numb.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Koizumi quickly fell to one side, rolled sideways and hid in the shadow of the nearby wall.

Another bullet hit exactly where she had landed.

Good job, Zhu Fu, your marksmanship is really good, and you grasped the timing just right!

There were chaotic footsteps coming from outside the wall.

[Cat demon boss, they are aiming at the top of the wall, don't go up! ]

[Upstairs, upstairs, the guy at the window is about to shoot! ]

Koizumi immediately gave up the idea of ​​breaking through from the front and ran towards the backyard along the wall.

[Boss, there's no one guarding my place! ]

Koizumi looked up, spotted the right spot, jumped up, grabbed the wall and climbed out.

[Two people are intercepting from behind, they have guns! ]

[Someone is coming from the left side ahead, here, turn right! ]

Without Koizumi's instructions, the scouts in her cat team had spontaneously helped her find the best escape route.

However, without the agility, Xiaoquan felt that her body was really heavy. Even with her long-term physical fitness, after running for more than ten minutes, she could only slow down her pace panting.

However, she has broken out of the siege and the most dangerous stage has passed.

[Someone is coming, hide quickly! ]

Koizumi rushed into the shadows on the side of the road, trying to hold his breath, and ordered in a low voice: "Cat Team, please pay attention, everyone retreat."

She had been guided by the cat's meow all the way, and it would be troublesome if the people in the organization noticed something unusual.

The tabby cat that had been following her immediately shouted: [Follow my orders, everyone retreat!]

"Ares, you go and supervise. No one is allowed to be curious, and everyone must evacuate."

[Okay, no problem! ]

The tabby cat ran away.

Moreover, the scene of her death must not be seen by the members of the Cat Group, otherwise there will be trouble.

In a high-rise building not far away, Midorikawa Hikaru was lying on the window, concentrating on observing the movements in the safe house opposite through the scope of his sniper rifle.

Gin threw the telescope in his hand to Vodka and turned to look at Midorikawa Hikaru.

This man has a very strong self-esteem, so strong that it seems that only when he works hard can he temporarily forget the shame brought to him by his appearance and his past imprisonment.

His shooting ability is good, but his fighting ability is insufficient. It is obvious that he learned all kinds of miscellaneous routines when he was receiving "education" in the call cell.

Gin had someone re-investigate Midorikawa Hikaru's identity and experience. The results of the investigation proved that Midorikawa was basically telling the truth during the Q&A session at the Daikoku Bar.

The slight deviation is regarding his own shooting ability.

His highest shooting record was only 650 yards, only slightly better than Chianti and Cohen's 600 yards, but he said it was 700 yards.

However, this flaw is probably just due to his competitive spirit and some small scheming, and it is nothing.

After following the team and observing them for a while, I can see that he is actually a very smart guy, and he has quite good sense.

The most important thing is that Gin did not feel as dangerous about him as Moroboshi Dai did.

In general, although Midorikawa Hikaru's overall strength is not as good as the previous Moroboshi, his final score is higher. He is worth training and can be used with confidence.

Gin lit a cigarette, then took out his cell phone and called Ethan Hondou.

"what is she doing?"

There was the sound of a car engine on the other end of the line.

“…driving.”

Gin: ...?

Melo driving?

Before he could ask any questions, there was a sudden "bang" from the other end of the phone, followed by Koizumi's yelling: "Damn it, why did it crash? I even took a detour on purpose!"

Gin: "...Why didn't you stop her?"

Ethan Hondou: "...Can I stop her?"

Gin:......

This guy Melo is really bad at driving.

When this guy was trying to find people in the organization to practice driving with her, Gin herself had the urge to avoid her. It didn't work to persuade her to give up with kind words, nor to order her to give up with harsh words. Even a gun to her head couldn't stop her, let alone a mere Jack Daniels...

Gin hung up the phone silently.

Forget it. As long as we can confirm that Melo is indeed with Jack, let Jack fend for himself.

"Brother, the people are coming out."

Before Vodka finished speaking, Midorikawa Hikaru had already pulled the trigger.

Vodka exclaimed, "Ah, almost."

A second shot followed.

"Tsk, this guy is quite agile and dodges really fast."

As Vodka was speaking, the telescope in his hand was suddenly taken away.

Gin watched for a moment, and when he saw "Zhufushi Keimitsu" running towards the backyard along the shadow of the wall, he knew that there was no chance of escape here.

Looking at Midorikawa Hikaru who lowered his head and tried to hide his face deeply in the hood, Gin snorted coldly: "You missed."

Midorikawa Hikaru lowered his head even more.

"Go and get rid of that person. If you fail again... well, you know the consequences."

Midorikawa Mitsuru nodded slightly, put down the sniper rifle in his hand, turned around and left without saying a word.

After he walked away, Gin asked, "What happened just now?"

Vodka was packing up his sniper rifle neatly, and he answered, "The bullet just grazed that guy's face. He's really lucky."

Gin snorted noncommittally and took out his cigarette case.

He was just about to refill his cigarette when his eyes suddenly swept across Vodka's face and he suddenly remembered Melo's evaluation of him.

Vodka was completely unaware of Gin's gaze: "Brother, it's packed. We can move now."

Gin: "...You were wearing sunglasses just now?"

Vodka reached out and adjusted the frame doubtfully: "Yes."

Gin:......

It was late at night and there was no light. How did you see the details of the situation on the other side through the telescope with your sunglasses on?

------

On the other side of the phone, Ethan Bentang pressed the stop button on the recorder and glanced at the time.

The time difference between this and Koizumi's estimate of when Gin would call for the first time was no more than half an hour.

sharp……

This is really good.
