Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

As of 10 o'clock in the evening of the day after leaving the police academy, the total income today was 153 singularity points, and the repair progress was 260/1000.

Although the efficiency of searching for singularities with the guidance of the compass is indeed much higher than usual, the number of singularities encountered today is only in the single digits, and this is the only harvest after all the hard work. If we continue at this pace, it will take at least three to five days to complete the repair.

However, being involved in such an incident and being able to survive is already very touching, and Koizumi currently has no more extravagant hopes.

At the end of the day, Koizumi was lying on a bench by the river in Jinchuan Park, surrounded by her four cat companions. They happened to meet on the road, and then she was entangled.

Firstly, Koizumi really didn't have the energy to take care of these four guys. Secondly, with these four cats around her, her occasional inappropriate behavior that was inconsistent with her identity as a cat would not be so conspicuous, so Koizumi just let these four guys follow her.

[Boss, I'm hungry.]

After running for a whole day, even the energetic tabby cat felt a little listless. It called out weakly, and the other three cats echoed it.

【I want to eat, too. 】

【I want to eat shrimp chips. 】

[By the way, are you tracking something today? But your route doesn't seem to have any pattern. ]

In front of Koizumi's eyes stood a cow cat wearing a red bow tie and glasses, with one paw in his pocket and the other holding the frame of his glasses under the spotlight. Oh, the glasses were still reflecting light!

...Am I hallucinating because of hunger?

Even though you are clearly not feeling well, you still have to run around hungry. What a miserable human (cat) life.

Koizumi forced himself to jump off the bench: [Let’s go eat.]

The four cats immediately perked up and followed with cheers.

The big orange cat is walking in the front: [Vending machine! ]

After Koizumi's training, these guys not only remembered the name of the "big guy", but also learned how to use the vending machine!

Koizumi once found coins of various denominations ranging from 1 yen to 500 yen and taught them to identify them. The smartest cow cat can already put coins into the coin slot of the vending machine according to the price.

Koizumi even suspected that there was a human soul inside this guy's shell. He was so smart that he was almost a spirit!

The four cats led Koizumi to a vending machine in a secluded corner of the park.

The tabby cat said proudly: "How is it? This place meets your requirements, Boss. There are few people coming here even during the day."

Little Black Cat: [This vending machine is rarely used. Only two or three people buy things here every day.]

Cow Cat: [And I checked carefully, there are no cameras installed nearby. ]

Look, look, these four of my little pawns have mastered the detective skills so quickly!

Koizumi is very relieved!

The tabby cat runs fast and has a wide range of activities. Although it has a fierce personality, it is an absolute social butterfly and has a leadership style. This guy has a large group of good brothers under him. Although the stray cats nearby are always beaten, they all like to get close to it.

The little black cat is good at squatting and monitoring. It is very patient and has amazing concentration.

Cow cats are the fastest to accept new things, are good at technical operations, know simple mathematics, and even have some talent for reasoning.

The big orange dog usually looks lazy, but as long as it is promised a lot of money, no, promised food, it can burst out with amazing fighting power.

Koizumi once witnessed a large dog that even a tabby cat had to stay away from. The big orange dog sprinted forward and headbutted the dog's waist, knocking the dog over.

Koizumi has made up her mind that once her Black Cat Detective Agency is opened, she will recruit all four little guys to be her little detectives, and she will provide them with food and accommodation!

She can also let Tabby Cat select a group of obedient and good-looking stray cats and open a cat cafe.

Well, why not just open the agency as a cat cafe, hire people to help her run the cat cafe, and take charge of the work of the detective agency herself?

In this case, if the police want to arrange a contact for her, can't they just put her in a cat cafe as a waitress? She doesn't even have to pay!

That’s right, why not just recruit all of Lihua’s minions under your command, let them exchange intelligence for cat food, and reward them with canned cat food if the intelligence is particularly useful.

If there was a commission to spy on someone or something, wouldn't these cats be her best helpers and spies?

As for the money to buy cat food, the income from the cat cafe should be able to cover most of the expenses. If it is not enough, she can just make up for it.

It’s settled, from now on this coffee shop will be called the Black Cat Detective Agency, and Xiao Hei will be the poster girl, so it will be convenient for her to turn herself into a cat and sneak in to eavesdrop on information!

It's perfect! Damn, I'm so smart! From now on, the five of us will be the cat cafe's top five, haha!

The more Koizumi thought about it, the happier he became, and he gave each of the four friends another can of milk.

After feeding myself and the four cats with food from the vending machine, we returned to the bench by the river and slept together, hugging each other.

The four cats were tired from running around during the day and soon fell asleep.

Although Koizumi was very tired, he couldn't sleep. He always felt like he had forgotten something important.

During the day, I was busy collecting singularities and ignored this feeling. Now that it was quiet, this sense of disharmony became even stronger.

What exactly did you forget?

The black cat stood on the river bank. The night wind blew, and its fur swayed gently. Its green eyes gazed at the Jinchuan River in front of it.

In the dark night, the river flows leisurely, as quiet as a black curtain, reflecting the brilliant lights on the opposite side of the river.

Is that the Mihua Shopping Center over there? It was already dark, but there were still many people moving around in front of the building.

……people.

Shit, I remembered! There is a living person in my space!

It's been nearly 15 hours since I took the bomber in. How come there's no movement from him?

Koizumi hurriedly checked his consciousness link, but found that it was still silent over there.

No, something was wrong! She suddenly had a bad feeling.

Koizumi chose to release the bomber in the space in front of her. When she saw the scene clearly, her pupils suddenly dilated and her hair stood on end.

The man was still wearing the same prison uniform he had worn when they parted yesterday. He was lying motionless in a pool of blood with his eyes closed. His chest was not moving; he was already dead.

What happened? How did he become a dead person? He was still alive when I took him in this morning...

Wait, he didn't respond at all when I took him in. Was he not asleep at that time, but unconscious?

[Hey, is this person dead? ]

Koizumi looked up suddenly and saw four cats that had woken up at some point and were slowly gathering around him.

She was about to shout, "Don't come near or touch the body," but suddenly realized that they were all cats, and she was also a cat, so she would not leave any human traces on the body.

Feeling a little relieved, Koizumi still said to the four people: "Don't get too close, don't step on the blood on the ground."

The tabby cat, the big orange cat, and the little black cat were just watching from a distance. Only the cow cat leaped over the pool of blood and landed on the corpse.

It looked around curiously, muttering: [Oh my god, it's really dead, it's already cold. ]

Koizumi: ...

Do you have to be so much like that elementary school student who is the god of death?

Could it be that I traveled through time not to Detective Conan but to Black Cat Sheriff?

Koizumi: [Hey, Sheriff, aren't you scared? ]

The cow cat looked at her strangely: [Why are you afraid? ]

Koizumi: [I mean, aren't you afraid of humans? ]

Cow Cat: [He is already dead and can't move. ]

Koizumi: ...

It makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

[There's a hole on his shoulder.]

Koizumi was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized what the hole might be, and hurriedly jumped over to check it out.

This caliber, this depth...

It's a sniper rifle!

Koizumi immediately checked other parts of the body and found a tightly wrapped bandage on the left thigh of the corpse. There was a dark red area near the outer side of the thigh, which was most likely another gunshot wound.

The cow cat stretched out its claws to hook open the straps, but was stopped by Koizumi.

[Stop looking, let's go. It will be noisy if the police come later, we have to move to another place to spend the night.]

After hearing what Koizumi said, Cow Cat gave up: [Okay, let’s go.]

Koizumi crossed the pool of blood with it and prepared to leave with the four cats.

She already knew how the man died.
