Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

The configuration of four codenamed members for a team is really too much.

And probably in order to avoid a conflict with Cohen at this inopportune time, or to prevent his emotions from hitting rock bottom, Gin assigned a large number of tasks at once, filling everyone's time, including Scotch Whiskey, which had just been given a code name.

Of course, Koizumi has nothing to do with it.

She was still locked up in the safe house with Gin.

When there were only two people left in the house, they returned to the peaceful stage where they lived in peace and harmony.

The two of them were busy with their own things and rarely spoke to each other in a day.

Every morning Koizumi goes out for a run, buys food for the day at noon, and then curls up on the sofa all day long, checking his phone with a charging cable. When he gets tired, he just lies down and closes his eyes to rest.

Or, pretend to close your eyes and rest.

In the system space, Koizumi and Sakurai watched the video of their meeting with Vermouth over and over again without getting tired of it.

The angle of the secret recording was not very good, but she could still see a lot of details that she didn't notice at the time, and her feelings about Vermouth's emotional response were obviously different from when she was there.

Her sneak attack did scare the other party.

It was a normal reaction for Vermouth to subconsciously reach for the gun, but when she said she was going to the bathroom to change clothes, the look in her eyes when she turned back with a smile was quite meaningful.

She was eating risotto and Vermouth was looking at her.

Seeing the bruises on her neck, Vermouth's surprise and reaction... the more Koizumi looked at it, the more it seemed fake.

Maybe she already knew it, maybe she had guessed it, or maybe... she had seen so much that she was no longer surprised.

After Koizumi used the five-yen coin to teleport away, Vermouth's astonishment was real, and the solemn expression after the astonishment was also real.

Koizumi talked about how he had explored the function of the chip implanted in the back of his brain. Vermouth's "panic" was real, but her "confusion" was fake.

Vermouth said that this thing was the "trump card" left on her by that gentleman, and it seemed to be true.

Saying that I want Koizumi to get lost and I don’t want to see her again is fake.

When I say “don’t leave hidden dangers for yourself”, I mean it, very seriously.

The annoyance that Koizumi feels when he traces back his childhood memories is real.

He said he had nowhere to go and was waiting for a result, really.

It’s false to praise Koizumi for becoming smarter.

It was false that he wanted to pack her up and send her to Gin.

I was really surprised when I saw the tape recorder.

When Koizumi asked Vermouth to give the recording to that gentleman, Vermouth felt resistant, really.

Vermouth said she was looking forward to her gift, but that was fake.

Koizumi's biggest gain this time was the sentence that Vermouth repeatedly emphasized to her.

"Don't leave hidden dangers for yourself."

The "hidden danger" that Vermouth mentioned probably refers to the people who know her abilities and the tape.

So, in this video, there is content that Vermouth doesn't want that gentleman to know.

What are the contents?

What about the situation where Vermouth can leave but doesn’t?

Or is it what she said, "waiting for a result"?

Vermouth didn't seem to want that gentleman to know that Koizumi had special abilities, or didn't want that gentleman to know that she had the special ability to teleport.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Vermouth will not hand in the tape for the time being, but will continue to examine her abilities and weigh the pros and cons.

If Koizumi is completely suppressed in this fight with Rum and loses the battle, that will be the time when Vermouth turns against him.

Gin has been identified as an ally of Koizumi's camp. If she loses, Gin will undoubtedly suffer as well.

And Koizumi's own understanding of the "hidden danger"...

She reached out and touched the tiny bump on the back of her neck…

This killer weapon must not be as simple as Vermouth said.

If you want to avoid hidden dangers, the only way is...

When Koizumi was holding a blade and trying to cut through the flesh, Sakurai Izumi grabbed his wrist.

"What are you going to do!"

Xiaoquan smiled calmly: "Test the depth of this thing. After all, this is a system space. It's not like it's really digging into your own flesh, so you won't feel any pain."

"But!"

"Don't worry, you won't die. Even if there is a problem, the singularity in the storage pool is enough to repair it."

Sakurai had nothing to say but to let go.

Koizumi tried but couldn't find the thing. He looked at his hands and didn't see any blood, so he gave up.

"...No. Because I am in a spiritual state now?"

She reached out and touched the crack, and said to herself, "How can I get this thing out of my body?"

Sakurai looked at her with an expression of dismay: "Why do you have to take it out? Isn't it no longer a hindrance?"

Koizumi smiled and said, “I don’t believe it.

“Even if Vermouth is telling the truth, how can we be sure that she knows everything? Is there a method of use that only that gentleman knows? You can’t deny this.”

Sakurai was silent.

“In short, if I bring this thing to see Karasuma Renya, I have a feeling something bad will happen.

"…So, how can we get it out?"

Sakurai didn't dare to look at the crack on the back of her neck and avoided her gaze: "Maybe when this thing was implanted, they didn't consider the possibility of removal at all? Maybe they deliberately let it grow together with the flesh and blood so that it can't be removed?"

"...Well, you're right."

Koizumi nodded slightly: "So... since the heart and brain can be rebuilt after being damaged, it should be possible to reshape the body after it is broken..."

Sakurai trembled violently, grabbed her shoulders and shouted, "Stop talking, I beg you to stop talking! Don't use death as a bargaining chip!"

But what Vermouth said was true.

"Don't leave hidden dangers for yourself."

This is the biggest hidden danger in her body.

And she still has a life to spare. If this isn't a bargaining chip, then what is it?

So, who can help her solve this hidden danger?

Ordinary surgery certainly won't work.

The consequence of digging this thing out might be damage to her central nervous system or even her brain. She couldn't explain the unscientific fact that she could recover immediately after being seriously injured or even dead.

Those who don't know her secret cannot help.

Someone who knows her secret...

The image of the five-member group flashed through Koizumi's mind.

It's impossible to help her with this.

It seems that there has never been a ferocious criminal as vicious as the Corpse Dismemberer in Conan.

So does she have to do it herself?

Well, do it yourself...

Koizumi thought about it and a vague idea came to his mind.

It seems that it is not impossible.

As soon as Sakurai saw Koizumi's expression, which was completely immersed in thought, he knew that she didn't listen to what he said at all.

She grabbed Koizumi's shoulders in fear and shook him hard.

"Give me some time, I'll find a solution for you. I'll help you find the right props. Don't just say die! Please! There will be a way, there really will be a way!"

Koizumi felt a little dizzy from her shaking and quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Okay, okay, I get it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"

The right props...

Is there really a tool that can do this?

Koizumi was completely pessimistic about Sakurai's words.

Instead of wasting a lot of time and space to explore this unknown prop, it is cheaper and more convenient to consume a life.

Well, since we don’t have to go see Karasuma Renya right away, we can put this matter aside for now and there’s no need to rush.

Koizumi originally planned to try to ask Vermouth during this meeting whether she was the one who protected Sakurai and changed her identity.

But Vermouth didn't accept the challenge, and was even unwilling to mention the past.

If you don't want to say it, forget it.

The most urgent task is for her to win over Vermouth as an ally...

Oh no.

It should be said that she needs to appease this uncontrollable factor and not let the variable of Vermouth affect her subsequent plans.

So she had to solve the security company issue perfectly.

Not only did she have to keep TSE, she also had to ensure that she would not suffer any loss.

Otherwise, Vermouth would most likely judge this as her "failure".

Come to think of it, her original plan seemed a little too mild?

So……

Alas, this forces her to not be a good person.

Tsk, forget it, she wasn’t a good person in the first place.
