Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Both the Mazda and the Porsche pulled into Hagiwara's repair shop.

Kenji Hagiwara, who still had an exaggerated slicked-back hairstyle, looked at the varying degrees of damage and scratches on the bodies of the two cars, and smiled and winked at Furiya Rei.

"I won."

Jiangu Ling has nothing to say.

In terms of driving skills, Hagiwara is indeed better than him.

"But it's already amazing that you've been able to improve your driving skills to this level in just one year."

While checking Mazda, Hagiwara said, "Give you some more time, and you will surpass me eventually."

"Really? But you obviously didn't try your best."

If Hagiwara had not been restricted to being a pursuer, and it was only based on Furuya Rei's own judgment, Hagiwara would have had at least two opportunities to achieve a perfect overtaking.

Hagiwara smiled and said, "But my car is better than yours. The performance of Sakurai's Porsche is really amazing. It's so fun to drive! And it doesn't need maintenance. It's always in peak condition. It's so convenient."

Rei Furiya's Mazda suffered a lot of damage and needed to be repaired. The tires were badly worn and needed to be replaced, and there was disgusting vomit in the car that needed to be cleaned up.

As for the Porsche, it also sustained considerable damage, but required no treatment at all.

When Sakurai put the car back into her space and refreshed it, it was as good as new again.

Hagiwara Kenji shook his head and sighed: "She is stealing my job."

Fūya Ling laughed: "Okay, it's just this one car. Aren't all the cars in her company entrusted to you for modification and maintenance? And there's also me, a big client. Can't this satisfy you?"

Hagiwara Kenji was silent for a moment.

"If she can still keep the company."

Jianggu Ling:......

After the "meeting" with Emmanuel, the Consul General was safely and secretly sent back to his residence.

The deaths of David Harris and the American bodyguard were accidents, and in the final analysis, it was Emanuel who killed them, and Taro Yamada was just the executor.

So the deaths of these two people had nothing to do with them.

At this point, the task assigned to him by Sakurai was successfully completed.

When Sakurai first expressed her intention to meet with Emanuel, Furuya Rei wondered if she was planning to win over the Americans to confront Rum.

But she never expected that she would go there as Rum.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that Sakurai's disguise is simply a bit magical.

The same was true of the previous "Zhufushi Jingguang" and the just now "Rum". The difference in height and body shape is so huge, how did she manage to look exactly the same?

Maybe it also has a special ability bonus?

(How many special abilities does she have? This is too buggy. Even if she says it's a curse, I want this kind of curse too. It's so convenient that I can't help but be jealous!)

When he first saw Rum appear today, Furutani Rei was really scared.

At that moment he thought that his assistance to Sakurai in doing something tricky had been exposed!

Sakurai is such a bad guy. Couldn't he have told him about this in advance?

Do you really enjoy seeing other people being shocked and frightened?

(Hmm...if you think about it from another perspective, it does seem quite interesting.)

But why did she go to see Emmanuel as Rum?

They also left behind photo and audio evidence, and used a very organized approach to help Rum strengthen his interests with the Americans.

Is Sakurai really planning to give up her security company?

What are her plans next?

The police officers lurking inside the security company have been confirmed to be wiped out, and TSE has finally become a purely black organization industry.

Currently, the company's decision-making and management personnel are fixed. Even if we wait until the next large-scale recruitment to add more people, we can only start from the grassroots level. Not to mention controlling the company, it will be difficult to even obtain effective intelligence.

Alas, this joint operation by the company and the Metropolitan Police Department cannot even be called a failure, it can only be said to be... a shame!

Whose idea was it that came up with such a crude action plan?

I want to curse.

Ugh……

Rei Furuya felt a little frustrated.

Just as Taro Yamada said at the beginning, for this operation, there was actually no need for Sakurai to go through his process.

If it were handed over directly to Taro Yamada, or even to Miyuki Kotani, they could complete the task independently and easily, but the means might change in the middle.

Both he and Kenji Hagiwara were just lucky encounters, and although they participated, to be honest, their level of participation was not very high.

Even without the thrilling car race scene at the end, it would have been possible to arrange the "kidnapping" at a hidden location in the city, and it might have been simpler and more direct.

Moreover, although he had learned all the information from the beginning and participated in the operation throughout, he still couldn't understand Sakurai's layout and ideas in the end.

While checking the condition of the Mazda, Kenji Hagiwara looked at the complex expression of Rei Furuya, who sometimes lowered his head in deep thought and sometimes doubted his life, and roughly guessed some of his thoughts.

Just as Hagiwara finished the maintenance plan, the phone rang.

He glanced at his phone and directly turned it on to external speaker mode.

"Hi, Zhen Ping."

"Hey, why aren't you in the dormitory? Are you living in the repair shop again?"

"Ah, are you feeling lonely?"

"Lonely you bastard!"

"Haha, alright, alright, I have work to do again."

"…Zero's car?"

"That's right, haha."

As Hagiwara Kenji spoke, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at Furuya Rei, saying jokingly, "Hey, Rei, I won't give you a discount!"

Furuya Rei glanced at him and said, "Sure. We have enough funds anyway."

"Ahaha, you are so generous, boss! Then let me get myself a little tip. I'll treat you next time we go to the hot spring!"

Furiya Rei complained speechlessly: "...regardless of how much the tip is to cover the hot spring fee, you are going to arrange it until next year?"

"Hey~ It's not impossible to arrange it this year, then I can only treat you to ramen."

Jianggu Ling:......

Don't know what to say.

On the other end of the phone, Matsuda Jinpei was silent for a moment and then suddenly spoke up, asking sharply, "Hagi, you've been missing for a whole day and we can't get in touch with you. Did you actually go and join their operation without permission?"

Hagiwara Kenji laughed out loud: "Jinpei, your reasoning ability is good enough to be a pillar of the Investigation Division. Are you really not going to consider changing jobs as soon as possible?"

Matsuda Jinpei ignored his teasing and followed up with a second question: "You raced with Zero? Sakurai's Porsche? Which route?"

"Yes, in Tomei Mountain, the most exciting part."

As soon as Matsuda said the word "you", Hagiwara said almost at the same time: "Of course I won."

Matsuda Jinpei paused for a second: "So you met Yamada Taro? Is he really as... um, perverted as Zero said?"

“I think he’s quite interesting.”

"Why didn't you call me?"

"I asked you in advance, you said you were on duty."

"Tsk."

Furiya Ling couldn't help it and interrupted to ask: "What exactly do you want to talk about by calling at this time?"

"Hey……"

Because they were too familiar with each other, as soon as they heard this interjection, Fūya and Hagiwara knew that Matsuda must have received some news, but did not want to say it out loud. He was just trying to whet their appetite.

Sure enough, Matsuda Jinpei paused for two seconds and continued in a calm tone: "I plan to go to the hospital to visit the squad leader tomorrow. Do you two want to go?"

"If Zero's car isn't too urgent, I can do it after get off work."

"No rush. If there's no last minute arrangement, I can do that too."

Matsuda: "Okay, it's settled then."

Hagiwara rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Should I ask Zhufu?"

"Hey……"

Hagiwara and Furugaya Rei looked at each other and realized that it was indeed the news from Morobushi.

It seems that Zhu Fu just said something to him on the dark web?

"Zhu Fu..."

Matsuda Jinpei drawled out, "He probably doesn't have time. After all, he just got a code name, so he should be very busy."

The faint smile on Fūya Rei's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by an unconcealable astonishment.

He stood up straight abruptly and strode to Hagiwara's side: "Did he say that himself?"

Hagiwara Kenji also showed a surprised expression: "Are you sure? Even Sakurai took a year to get the organization code name. How long has it been for Morifushi? Half a year?"

Furiya Rei frowned and said seriously, "No, less than four months to be exact."

Hagiwara Kenji took a deep breath and said, "Jinping, you are kidding, right?"

"I would joke about something like this?"

Yes, even though they often joke around with each other, they would never laugh about things like this.

Furiya Rei took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement a little: "What is his code name?"

"Hey, wanna go get a drink now, Scotch?"
