Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi's main job of the day is to hold meetings and then perform in front of various people.

For people on his team like Detective Nishijima, he would find a random excuse to "scold" them, suspend them from work, deduct their salary, and let them go home to rest and wait for further notice.

Neutral employees recruited through ordinary channels are encouraged well and pretend to casually spread some "rumors" that the company is about to change.

Without saying a word, he gave the members of the organization one month's salary as a "New Year's allowance" to encourage them to work hard, while also showing some impatience and depression.

As for the undercover agents from the Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department, Koizumi only met with XXX, who was named by the "highest commander", and informed him in detail about the news that Rum and Nae Oyamada had jointly acquired the company's shares. Then, without saying a word, he gave him a letter of appointment as "general manager" and took office that day.

However, apart from this letter of appointment, Koizumi did not give him any paper information or written documents.

This XXX came in with a mission given to him by senior public security officials, and went out with a confused look on his face.

That's not right. Didn't the top management say that Sakurai Izumi might have betrayed him? He thought he would die in her office today. How could it turn out like this?

She actually carried out the orders from the top so efficiently.

Did I suddenly become the general manager?

Is it so easy to seize real power?

Then, as long as he arranges his colleagues in the public security department to important positions in the company, won’t he be able to completely control the lifeblood of the company?

Right!

Isn't that mission accomplished? So easy!

He does what he says. He'll make an urgent report tonight and start immediately after getting approval!

After watching the unlucky guy designated by the police leave, Koizumi observed a minute of silence for the red team undercover agents in the company.

I'm sorry, I hope I'll have a chance to see you again in the future.

After completing all the above tasks, Koizumi only has one last task left for today's talks: meeting with Rum.

After various interviews today, she felt like she had said almost everything she had to say in the past month.

That morning cup of espresso was said to be effective for five hours, but it really only lasted five hours.

As a result, in the afternoon, Koizumi had to pinch his nose and drink another cup of water before he could barely muster up the energy to continue working.

Looking at Miyano Akemi's revengeful smile, Koizumi quietly...made a note of her in the little notebook in his heart.

When this matter is completely over and the company is back on track, I will trick you back. You can have as many overtime opportunities as you want, hehe!

The premise is that if her company can really be saved...

------

The well-dressed Rum slowly got out of his car, walked leisurely into the Sakurai Building, and entered the conference room under the guidance of Miyano Akemi.

He waited for a long time, but Mello, who had asked him out for a talk, did not show up.

But Rum is not in a hurry.

With a smile on his face, he continued to drink coffee and read the newspaper leisurely.

According to his informants' report, Mello had a huge conflict with Gin last night, blew up an organization's safe house and escaped.

Then, early this morning, she appeared in front of the Sakurai Building in a disheveled state. But almost at the same time, Gin's hunting team was already waiting nearby to capture her.

However, in the end, I don't know how Mello managed to convince Gin, so he was able to enter the Sakurai Building smoothly and deal with the backlog of work.

Haha, to put it bluntly, it’s just about cleaning up the mess and struggling fearlessly before dying.

For some things, if you take one step slower, all the steps will be slower. If you take one wrong step, all the steps will be wrong.

Not long after the special talent recruitment conference, Rum had already started to act secretly. While persuading the Americans, he also won over a new ally, Oyamada Nae, and the three parties worked together to attack Sakurai's security company.

Rum knew that his campaign for mayor would certainly arouse the gentleman's vigilance, so he simply took the initiative. On the one hand, he used the information provided by Oyamada Nae and the testimony of the Americans to explain to the gentleman Mello's restless ambitions. On the other hand, he showed his loyalty and gave up a lot of interests in exchange for the gentleman's trust. Not only did he make him approve of his plan to run for mayor, but he also proposed a joint action and asked the gentleman to take action to restrain Mello so that he could seize Mello's company more smoothly.

As long as he can control this security company, he can not only bring his own hidden hands to the table, but also use the security company to restrict or even control the actions of his competitors.

It would be unsettling if such a practical tool could not be controlled in one's own hands.

Melo, who was always smart, didn't notice his little move for some reason this time.

She finally responded a few days ago, but now it was a done deal, and no matter how hard she struggled, it would at best only delay her failure.

As long as Nae Oyamada can deal with the last few wavering small shareholders, Rum's forces will be able to gain absolute controlling rights.

Then, as long as we wait for the new qualification application to be obtained and initiate the shareholders' meeting, we can openly ask Melo to be kicked out, and the ownership of TSE will be completely changed.

At this point, Melo actually invited him to come over and meet him?

After much consideration, Rum finally accepted her request for a meeting.

He really wanted to know what expression this usually arrogant woman would have on her face at this moment.

Anger, or despair?

However, with Melo's skills and the inexplicable favor of that gentleman, all she lost was an industry, and she might be transferred to other areas to be a person in charge.

Alas, what a pity.

It would be nice if Melo could stay in Tokyo.

I don’t know what the progress of her drug development is. I have completely offended her this time. I might miss the opportunity to meet the researcher behind her.

No, that guy is determined to get Rum!

I have to think of another way...

It was not until he heard the door being pushed open that Rum put down the newspaper and checked the time.

It was almost an hour later than the agreed time.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Seeing Koizumi trying to gather himself together despite his tiredness, Rum's expectations were greatly satisfied.

Ha, that's exactly what he wanted to see!

"Haha, it's okay. I can still wait for this little while."

The bruises on Mello's neck and the scars on her cheeks and mouth showed how fierce the battle was when she escaped from Gin.

……and many more.

The gunshot wound on the cheek is normal, but what about the scar at the corner of the mouth and the bruise on the neck?

Is this a sign of a normal battle?

Koizumi was in no hurry to speak. She sat down in the chair opposite Rum, opened the can of Coke in her hand, tilted her head back and took several gulps to cover up the bitter taste that still lingered in her mouth, and sighed comfortably.

She really just couldn't get used to drinking coffee.

As for the look from Rum...

Look at it, the injuries on her body are meant to be seen by others. Everyone has seen it all day, so Rum doesn't need to be one more person.

Who knows what interesting story this person will come up with as he watches.

Why doesn't Mello speak?

What does that meaningful look of hers mean?

Why don't you cover up your embarrassment?

Rum narrowed his eyes and stared at Koizumi's face for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

I heard that gentleman ordered Merlot and Gin to act together, but Gin hasn't taken any serious action recently.

According to intelligence, they have been staying in the safe house and rarely go out.

One man and one woman...

No going out...

So what do they do all day?

...These two are playing pretty wildly!
