Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

The black cat carefully avoided the cameras near the safe house and jumped into the house through the window.

Seeing her come back, Sakurai Puppet immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up from the bed, and made a safe gesture to her.

Koizumi pointed outside and asked: "He hasn't come to check on the situation yet?"

Sakurai nodded, handed the tracker to her, and returned to the system space.

Never checked in?

It feels like Gin has been too indulgent towards her these past two days.

has a problem……

After putting away the puppet, Koizumi opened the door and walked out of the house with the empty cup, then went to the kitchen to get himself a glass of water.

Gin was still sitting in the living room, looking at the pile of documents in front of her. It was exactly the same as it was before she left, as if it had never been moved.

Koizumi sighed in his heart, "He is worthy of being a model worker," and took another glass of water and placed it next to him.

Gin picked it up and drank it without hesitation.

Koizumi: "...Hey, don't you have any doubts?"

Gin didn't even glance over and said calmly: "What good will it do you to poison me at this time?"

Koizumi: ...

The pros and cons analysis was completely correct and she had nothing to say.

She sat down on the sofa next to her and asked casually, "Any news about Pramya?"

Gin still said nothing. He picked out two pages from a pile of information and threw them to her.

Koizumi took it and looked at it...

Fortunately it’s not Russian, but English.

With the English level she had improved over the past year, she managed to understand the information, although it took some effort.

"Is this guy going to Eastern Europe to stir up trouble again? He is so dishonest. That anti-Pramya alliance called Kiti has so many people, but they can't catch her tail?"

Koizumi threw the two pages back on the table. "What is the organization's attitude towards this Pramiya? They have intelligence on her, but it doesn't seem like they are planning to recruit her."

Gin finally put down what he was holding, raised his head and looked directly at her: "Always?"

Ah...she said the wrong thing.

During the New Year last year, the information transaction between her and Gin was terminated due to Sakurai's reminder. Before that, she turned into a black cat and ran over to peek at the information. Theoretically, she had never received any news about Pramia from Gin.

However, Koizumi only paused for two seconds, and then calmly said, "Yes, always. Didn't I confirm with you last year that you do have information about him, although I didn't buy it."

"That's it?"

"correct."

Koizumi looked at him in confusion.

Gin stared at her for a long time, then said faintly, "Last year, the black cat that tricked me in the safe house during the New Year, my car that mysteriously disappeared and reappeared, and the red Porsche that kidnapped Takahashi Ryuu some time ago, were all your work, although I don't know how you did it. Or who helped you do it."

He used declarative sentences with a firm tone, as if he had confirmed these facts long ago.

Seeing that Koizumi did not deny it, Gin picked up the cigarette box and lit himself up: "Weapons that you took out from nowhere, time bombs with unknown quantity, and the means to go to Vermouth without anyone noticing... Your special abilities are really varied."

Koizumi laughed: "...Vermouth has told you everything?"

Gin didn't answer, but sneered at her: "Where did you go just now?"

Koizumi smiled and spread his hands: "What are you talking about? I have been reading in my room."

Gin stared at her for a long time, puffing out smoke, and finally gave up and turned his eyes away: "Vermouth is different from me. You can't fool her with what you say to me."

"Who fooled you? I'm serious! But if that's the case, then she must be serious about what she said. It's not that she can't leave, she just doesn't want to leave."

Koizumi seemed to be talking to Gin, or muttering to himself, "She is not interested in freedom as a bargaining chip, so what does she want?"

Gin snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "...Maybe you want to die?"

Want to die?

Isn't it easy to die?

Wouldn't it be enough to just shoot yourself in the head?

Even if she doesn't age, does that mean she's immortal?

Wait a moment……

Why did Vermouth immediately confirm that I had recovery abilities beyond ordinary people when we first arrived at the hospital?

Most people probably wouldn’t think of this, right?

Just like the doctors, nurses and police officers who were present at the time, didn't even Kudo Yusaku fail to notice this abnormality?

There was clearly nothing wrong with my disguise at the time, so why did Vermouth notice it right away?

...Unless it's because she's just like me!

Because the special abilities are duplicated, Karasuma Renya doesn't value my special ability, so he came up with the idea of ​​forcing me to pair up with Gin.

And the blood samples that were taken from me during the New Year might not have been found to be abnormal.

Karasuma Renya noticed it, but he thought it was just a manifestation of super recovery ability, so he didn't care.

Yes, that’s it!

That's why Vermouth was so shocked when she found out I had other special abilities.

She wasn't shocked at how incredible my abilities were.

She was just afraid that my special ability would attract the attention of Karasuma Renya and that I would be valued by him.

Because Vermouth only has one special ability, and I can completely replace her!

Therefore, there is absolutely no way she would give that videotape to Karasuma Renya.

Even if my plan to deal with Rum fails, she won't hand it over!

Therefore, my analysis of her final threat during our last meeting was wrong.

[Then there is no need to think about leaving. I will pack you up and give you to Gin as a gift.]

I originally thought that "packing it up and giving it to Gin as a gift" was false, but it turns out that it is true, and the subject is false.

This sentence should have been: [Then there is no need to think about leaving. Karasuma Renya will pack you up and give you to Gin as a gift.]

In other words, Karasuma Renya has made up his mind that as long as Rum takes over the security company completely, he will immediately use some means to take me back!

...Wow, this is dangerous.

I originally still had a glimmer of hope, but I didn't expect that I would almost fail because of such a small thing!

Koizumi raised his head and let out a long breath: "Thank you, Gin. You helped me figure out some very important issues."

Gin snorted coldly and turned his eyes away from her.

"So, what did Vermouth tell you? About what special abilities I have?"

"No, she just said that you went to see her on the night of the Scottish test."

"……that's all?"

Koizumi tilted his head and smiled: "Are you really not curious at all about how I did it?"

Gin answered immediately: "No, don't tell me."

Koizumi smiled: "Okay, then I won't say anything. It's better to keep it a little mysterious."

Gin was silent for a moment: "So, are you finished with all your arrangements?"

Koizumi thought about it and smiled, "I originally planned to ask someone else to do it, but it turns out that it's safest to do it myself. I will stay in my room tonight and read and sleep. Don't worry, I will never run around."

She emphasized the word "absolutely".

Gin picked up the document thrown on the coffee table again and continued to read it, saying calmly: "I know."

"Also, if there's any information about Pramya coming to Neon in the future, please remind me, okay?"

Gin raised his head: "Reason."

"I want him dead."

Gin stared at Koizumi for a while, then lowered his head expressionlessly: "It's not him, it's her."

Koizumi:!!!

Pramya is actually a woman? !

"…Any other information? Age, height, appearance, etc."

"About 35 years old, over meters tall, with blond hair."

Koizumi silently memorized these characteristics and nodded: "Okay, thank you."

She glanced at the time and got up to go back to her room.

After taking a few steps, Gin suddenly spoke again.

"Will you betray me?"

Koizumi paused, turned around and looked at Gin in surprise.

Is Gin feeling uneasy?

Koizumi walked back, bent down and hugged him.

Gin's body suddenly became stiff, and his hand had already reached into his coat pocket, but he was reluctant to take it out.

"Don't worry. What happened when I was a kid was just an accident. I couldn't help myself. There won't be a second time. I won't betray you."

Koizumi patted his back, let go and stepped back, grinning and saying, "Besides, you already know how versatile my abilities are, so just give me a little more confidence."

Gin turned his head away indifferently: "Humph."

Koizumi took out three five-yen coins and forced them into his hand: "Here, take them."

Gin looked down at the things in his hands and frowned.

Another five-yen coin.

So what is this?

Xiaoquan smiled and said, "These are my chips, four in total, please keep them for me!"

Four?

I only gave him three...

Gin's pupils shrank instantly and he looked up at Koizumi in astonishment.

Koizumi glanced at the time again: "I'm going back to my room to read. See you tomorrow."
