Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"What? It's just a test. Boring. I thought we were finally going to have something fun."

Chianti threw the gun back on the table in dissatisfaction.

Cohen put his hand in his pocket and stroked the small remote-control-like device inside.

He glanced behind "Vermouth", then turned to glance at Gin, and said in a deep voice: "Chianti, that gentleman is watching, don't make trouble."

Chianti made a "tsk" sound and finally didn't dare to make too much noise, but he still rebelliously kicked the table next to him, making a "squeak" noise.

Don Ethan was too lazy to persuade him, he knew Chianti's temper too well.

In fact, without Cohen's words, Chianti would have done nothing.

Although this person is crazy, she actually knows very well her limit of madness.

So Ethan Hondou just stared at Koizumi's back in silence and indifference.

The moment Rum said those words just now, Ethan was already mentally prepared to attack his colleagues.

But I didn't expect that it would be resolved directly by just one sentence from her.

[You just found out about this? ]

This sentence is quite meaningful...

Does this mean that Rum never knew about it, but everyone else actually knew about it?

Including Gin and the big boss behind the scenes?

Ethan Hondou had always thought that Sakurai was a member of the Neon police, but after hearing her words, he became a little unsure.

So who is she?

The situation is becoming increasingly delicate...

Furutani Rei, who also felt that the situation was very delicate, took in the expressions of everyone in the bar, and slightly moved his wrist, which had been a little stiff due to nervousness.

What would he do if Sakurai was really exposed on the spot?

Fūya Rei always thought that he could just watch calmly and coldly, and first ensure that he would not be exposed.

But at that moment, his body had already prepared for battle before his mind.

But it turned out that he was not as calm as he thought. He was not much better than Hagiwara and Matsuda, and was far worse than Kagemitsu.

Come to think of it, what has Jingguang been whispering to Vodka about since just now?

And Gin doesn’t even care?

Koizumi finally laughed enough.

She wiped the tears from her eyes and said to Rum sincerely, "Sorry, I interrupted you accidentally. Ahem, please continue."

Rum glanced at the silent black silhouette on the monitor.

He guessed that there was a great possibility that he had been fooled by this person.

But are you so sure, Melo, that person will protect you?

Especially, when faced with huge benefits.

"Oh, you are really amazing, Mello."

Rum began to praise her.

Is this a change of strategy?

Koizumi smiled and made a "please" gesture to him: "Please elaborate."

Don't just use your imagination, please speak out what you have imagined, otherwise she won't know how to act with Rum.

"You know, before you and Gin, I was the only person in charge of the Tokyo district."

"Yes, I know very well."

Koizumi smiled and said, "Even I am a talent discovered by you, right?"

Rum ignored her sarcasm and said, "You probably know how I recruit people for the organization?"

Koizumi laughed and said, "I don't know."

"Don't you know? Haven't you already experienced it?"

Koizumi nodded. "Oh, that's what you mean. Introduce undercover agents from the Metropolitan Police Department through informants, throw the dirty work of the organization to them, and continue to monitor them. When they notice problems or get close to the core, they will directly find someone to clean up. Then let the informants introduce the next batch, right?

"Oh, you call this recruiting. Are you sure it's not scamming?"

Rum chuckled: "If you want to say that, I don't object. Anyway, for an organization like ours, it makes no difference.

"And you can't deny that this kind of monthly undercover agent is really useful. They are diligent, hardworking, highly motivated, and have strong working abilities. The good ones can even last for half a year.

"To be honest, I still felt very sorry when I dealt with them. But after all, they were all police officers and our mortal enemies.

"Under my control for five or six years, there have been no problems. But after a weirdo like you showed up, this talent supply chain was interrupted.

"What a shame."

Monthly undercover agent... five or six years...

So how many unlucky people has the Metropolitan Police Department sent into this deep pit of an organization?

Koizumi heard that Taro Yamada, who was sitting next to her, was grinding his teeth and was obviously mad at what Rum said.

As for the four people in the police academy...

Koizumi knew what their expressions would be without even having to think about it.

When today's events are over, as a witness, can Furuya Rei bring down the "supreme commander"?

Such a dereliction of duty must be brought to ruin even if we cannot kill him!

Moreover, as long as there are personnel changes within the public security system, I should be safe for another month or so after the chaos breaks out, and maybe I can even successfully turn things around.

Thinking this in his mind, Koizumi said something provocative in a good mood.

"Ha, I see.

"Rum, you only know how to recruit temporary workers to work for you. You haven't even recruited a single code member. Isn't it obvious that you are overdrawing the organization's resources to make money for yourself?

"As a senior employee, you are quite good at taking advantage of loopholes. You hid your private assets well and that gentleman hasn't discovered them yet. You must be quite proud of yourself, right?"

Rum:…

He was hit back, hitting the vital point.

When Gin just parachuted into Tokyo, he really thought that his little plan had been discovered and that the gentleman had sent someone to settle accounts with him.

But what can a mere Gin team, just a few small players, do to him?

Even if that gentleman really discovered his little trick, given his current power base, could his lair really be wiped out so easily?

To be honest, if Mello hadn't awakened him, Gin and Vermouth might have really killed each other while he was away from Tokyo...

From this point of view, Rum was indeed very grateful to Merlot.

But it was precisely because of this gratitude that he gradually fell into the trap of trusting Melo.

Rum sneered and turned the topic back to his own track.

“It sounds easy, but do you really think recruiting people for the organization is an easy task?

"Oh, no. This seems to be quite easy for you."

Rum looked at Koizumi and nodded slightly: "To be honest, when I first heard that the matter of recruiting people fell on you, I was waiting to see you laugh at me.

"The security company is a good move, but you don't have to organize your own manpower, but instead gather those social scraps and miscellaneous people with unknown backgrounds together to hold a so-called 'recruitment conference'.

"Until then, I admit I had always viewed the matter with a cynical attitude."

Rum sighed: "But I really didn't expect that you have such scheming and planning ability."

Koizumi smiled and said, "That's a nice compliment. I love to hear it. Say more."

"You used the Metropolitan Police Department to remove the wanted criminals and the most unstable and troublesome people at the job fair.

"Then they used the safety of the US Consul General Rahm Emanuel as a threat to defraud the FBI and CIA agents hiding in the group."

"Later, when you announced the remaining candidates, I thought the cleansing process was over. But I discovered not long ago that you actually had another trick up your sleeve!"

Koizumi raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for Rum's explanation with curiosity.

This time, Rum finally stopped saying "So that's how it is" and honestly told everyone about his imagination.

"You suddenly made a gesture of giving up the company completely, which stimulated the police undercover hidden in the company, prompting them to jump out and seize power when the power of the company was changing and the management was the weakest. Then, with the help of me and Gin, you completed the final cleanup.

"At this point, TSE is completely clean and has become a real organized industry. Moreover, it is an organized industry that has been whitewashed by me and many investors."

"In this way, we can not only easily recruit a large number of talents, but also continue to provide the organization with more reliable personnel."

Rum shook his head and sighed, "I admire your planning ability. It's really amazing."

Koizumi was confused.

How come after what Rum said, every decision she made out of necessity ended up being made with ulterior motives?

Although I gave up the company because I wanted you to fight with the people from the Red Team, I will not admit to the other charges!

There are four active police officers and one retired police officer here!

If they misunderstand me, I'll be doomed!

Stop talking nonsense, Rum-kun!

Imagination can kill you!
