Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Sakurai, who was thrown out by Koizumi to take the blame, was not panicked at all and had a calm attitude. Not only did he ignore Dr. Tani's sarcasm, he also responded to the doctor's questions very calmly, which made Dr. Tani who had been standing by his side very confused.

After a lot of trouble, the doctors and irrelevant personnel finally left. Xiao Hongshu was also sent to change clothes and wash his face. Then, only Dr. Tani and Sakurai were left in the room.

Dr. Tani sat there in a very ungraceful manner, with his hands tucked into the sleeves of his kimono, looking at Koizumi with suspicion.

"Hey, little girl, what evil idea are you thinking of?"

Sakura looked at him with a smile.

Doctor Gu scratched his head uncomfortably and said, "Okay, okay, this is my problem. Tell me, do you have any trouble that you need my help with this time?"

Sakurai nodded, "Yes."

"Tsk, I knew it."

Doctor Gu stared at her and muttered, "I owed you this in my last life! Tell me, what do you want to do now?"

"I would like you to take Hongshu and leave Neon for a while."

Doctor Gu immediately sat up straighter: "Why?"

"Because the situation in the next year is too dangerous for you, but I can't entrust Xiao Hongshu to others."

Koizumi in front of the light curtain nodded slightly.

This was indeed a problem she had overlooked.

Even if she created another Fujiwara Yuto alias, Dr. Tani could still be found by the organization. It was safer to keep him away from trouble than to hide him.

Doctor Tani frowned and looked at Sakurai for a long while: "...What are you going to do with Fujiwara Yuto's vest?"

Sakurai smiled and said, "I don't know the details. I only know that Quan-chan will make a big move next year, and you and Hiroki's situation will be very delicate. It's better to avoid it. It will be safer for us to have less concerns about you."

Koizumi was shocked.

Is Sakurai planning to reveal the truth?

...Okay. Since he used the identity of Doctor Gu, he was indeed qualified to know the truth.

And if I can't find a suitable excuse, this old fox probably won't obey my orders so obediently.

Doctor Gu narrowed his eyes and looked at Sakurai who had a calm expression on his face. After a while, he slowly spoke: "...You? Aren't you Sakurai?"

Sakurai smiled, "I'm Sakurai. But I'm also Naoesuke Kyoko."

Doctor Gu was stunned. For a moment, his eyes widened in disbelief. But then his surprise turned into anger. His expression darkened. "...You've become quite capable. Where did you find this out?"

But to his surprise, Sakurai Izumi on the opposite side did not smile and say "guess" as he had imagined.

She was sitting upright and relaxed, her hands folded neatly on her knees, just looking at him and smiling, her eyebrows curved, her expression gentle, even the curve of her mouth corners seemed so familiar.

In an instant, the person in front of him seemed to overlap with the figure in his memory.

Doctor Gu couldn't even utter the curses he was about to continue. He put his hands over his eyes and said in a low voice, "Get out."

Sakurai sat there without moving.

Doctor Gu suddenly exploded and roared: "I told you to get out!"

"But the experimental records haven't been put away yet, Asakura-kun. Ah, come on, why can't you put these things away properly? Are you really a researcher? I think you are just a garbage maker! What is this... love, love poem? I don't want it!"

Doctor Gu's body froze.

He slowly put down his hand and looked up at Sakurai Izumi in front of him in disbelief.

Sakurai also looked at him with an embarrassed expression: "Asakura-kun, please stop talking. You really don't need to say anything. I can't go with you, even if... I can't!"

Doctor Gu's lips trembled and his breathing became rapid.

"You, how old are you? I'm only eighteen! You, how shameless are you! What do you mean by older and more considerate? You are totally unreasonable! I beg you to stop pestering me!"

Doctor Gu gritted his teeth and said hoarsely, "...Did I accidentally leave the video footage? Where did you get this?"

The expression on Sakurai's face changed. He stared at Dr. Tani and continued in a calm tone, "It's dangerous, of course it's dangerous, but someone has to do it. Let alone others. If I don't investigate it clearly and stop them, I will never be able to get away! You don't understand...you won't understand..."

Doctor Gu stood up slightly and tried to get closer: "You, you really are..."

Then the expression on Sakurai's face changed again, and he shouted sternly: "Stop pestering me. Can you stop them from catching me and stop me from committing suicide? If I can't figure out what they are doing this time, I will never forgive you in this life, the next life, or the next life. Never!"

Doctor Gu sat back down, looked at her with tears in his eyes, and said with a choked smile: "Then don't let me go, take me away."

The room was quiet for a while.

Looking back on the past like this, Sakurai felt a little overwhelmed.

She lowered her head to calm down for a while, then raised her head and sighed softly: "No, Asakura-kun, please live well. As my last request in my previous life, can you please take Hiroki away from Neon temporarily? Please."

Doctor Gu looked at her for a long time before he said, "...Okay."

------

Koizumi stayed at Shirakawa's house for five days.

Because she was worried that Gin would really send people to track her whereabouts, she rarely went out and stayed in the house the whole time.

Anyway, her purpose was to accompany Xiaoshu and to relax. When Xiaohongshu went to kindergarten, she either went to study with the kendo master or went back to her room to rest. So every time Gin called her to check on her, nine out of ten times she was found sleeping, and the other time she was drinking with Shirakawa Rikuto and was drunk, which made Gin speechless.

On the sixth day, Dr. Gu, who had been out of contact, finally came back.

It was still the same room, and it was still just her and Dr. Gu.

When Koizumi walked in, Dr. Tani looked up at her: "Sakurai?"

"Yes, it's me."

Koizumi sat down casually on the rattan mat, peeled an orange from the table and put it into his mouth, smiling, "If you want, uh, Kyoko to come out and accompany you, then let her come out instead."

“…No, I have something to tell you.”

Dr. Gu pushed a stack of notebooks beside him in front of her.

"If you really plan on doing anything with Fujiwara's identity, these should come in handy."

Koizumi looked at Dr. Tani's serious expression and picked up a book to read.

Drug Research Notes…

Pick up another one.

Experimental Records...

"These are the research records related to the drug called 'Silver Bullet'. I took the most important part with me when I left the organization. Humph, those bastards in the organization probably thought these things were burned in the fire a long time ago."

Koizumi's eyelids twitched as he looked at the content about "soul transfer" in the experimental record in his hand.

She closed the notebook in her hand and smiled calmly, "Okay, thank you. I'm sure these will come in handy. Is this what you took away when you disappeared for a few days?"

Doctor Gu snorted coldly and said nothing.

Koizumi smiled and put these important experimental notes into the system space one by one.

Dr. Gu stared at her actions with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and suddenly asked: "I can take Hongshu to the United States for asylum, but there must be a time limit."

"It's best for you to leave after the New Year. The time limit...can't exceed five years."

Koizumi smiled at him and said, "If everything goes well, maybe one or two years will be enough."

Doctor Gu stared at her for a while and said, "So, what exactly do you want to do? Can you tell me?"

"Once I'm sure you and Hiroki have settled down in the United States, I'll write you an email."

Doctor Gu sneered: "Are you still worried that I will interfere with your plan?"

"really."

Koizumi nodded seriously without disguising, "No matter what, you are a doctor and a former researcher of the organization. You have been exposed to some taboo research and have the strength and ability to study these things independently. If you know about it, can you guarantee that you can resist the temptation?"

Without waiting for Dr. Gu to answer, she interrupted and said, "You can't."

Dr. Gu was choked by her.

He pursed his lips and was silent for a while before suddenly speaking again: "If... I mean if, can I find a way to keep Kyoko?"

The smile on Koizumi's face disappeared instantly. She stared at Dr. Tani and asked coldly, "Do you want to set up another organization? Do you want to become that gentleman? Have you asked Sakurai for his opinion?"

Her voice gradually turned colder, and she stared at Dr. Gu and asked grimly, "Do you need her to come out and scold you in person?"

That's why she didn't dare to hand over the red and white capsules casually!

That's how human hearts are.

Doctor Gu looked embarrassed, turned his head away from her, and said stubbornly, "I just want to..."

Koizumi stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on his forehead: "Sakurai, come out and switch hands. Beat him to death!"
