Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

The four of them were speechless for a moment.

Not to mention that you treat the second-in-command of the organization as a monster in the game or something, you have finally trained Furuya and Morofushi, and now you are talking about going solo!

Then why do you take the trouble to train them?

Zhu Fu Jingguang was the first to ask: "Is there no room for us to help you with what you want to do?"

Koizumi said seriously: "Zhu Fu, your cooking skills have helped me a lot."

If I hadn’t been healed by your cooking today, my mental state would probably be even worse.

four people:……

Matsuda Jinpei finally couldn't help but complain: "Then why don't you give Zhu Fu a code name and just let him come to your store to work? Wouldn't it be better?"

Koizumi still looked serious: "That depends on the person's wishes. You can't force people to do this."

The four people again: ...

So that was your original intention?

Zhu Fu Jingguang covered his face: "...I suddenly remembered that you once said a long time ago that you must come to your store to work or something. So you were serious?"

Koizumi chuckled: "Haha, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."

The four people once again: ...

I don't think you were joking at all!

Koizumi coughed lightly, straightened his attitude and said, "To be honest, it's because the work I'm doing has come to a temporary end. I don't have anything else to do, let alone anything I can assign to you."

Fūya Rei looked doubtful: "...Really?"

"Really. I'm just finishing work tonight. I plan to take a good rest for a while."

Some disgusting images quickly flashed through Koizumi's mind. The fingers holding the chopsticks clenched subconsciously, and his voice choked involuntarily.

This time, all four of them noticed the unnatural pause in her tone.

Furiya Rei pretended not to notice her abnormality and continued calmly: "Oh, then can I ask what you have been doing for the past two months? Even Jingguang, who lives in your store, rarely sees you on a daily basis."

"That's right! I can't even find anyone to go flower viewing with you!"

Kenji Hagiwara followed up with a comment, easing the somewhat tense atmosphere.

"Enjoying the flowers..."

"Oh, that's a shame. We can only wait until next year."

Koizumi sighed and answered fluently: "I'm going to do the finishing work of killing Rum."

"Isn't that Gin's job? And didn't you also send Gil... Miyano Akemi to help?"

"It's different. They are dealing with the parts that have been exposed, and I am dealing with the parts that are not visible to the public."

Hagiwara Kenji was surprised and asked, "What! There's more?"

"of course."

Koizumi smiled coldly: "How could a big boss of an organization that has dominated Tokyo for decades only have the stuff he said under his command?"

Fūya Rei continued to ask the main question: "What do you mean by shady aspects?"

"Well, do you still remember Takahashi Ryuu?"

"of course."

"Then you should know something about the drug experiment base, right?"

Koizumi glanced at Zhufu Jingguang and made his meaning very clear.

You should have shared intelligence, right?

Indeed. They had carefully shared and analyzed the intelligence more than once, and everyone knew about it.

The four of them looked at each other and nodded silently.

"I am now in charge of the newly opened experimental base."

All four of them were shocked.

Matsuda Jinpei immediately responded: "You said that TSE's mission has ended because after eliminating Rum, your position in the organization has been improved, and you took over the job that originally belonged to Rum? That drug experiment base is the core focus of the organization in Tokyo? You want to use this as a basis to get close to that gentleman? Is this your follow-up plan?"

So sharp.

Sometimes Matsuda's super intuitive brain is even more powerful than Furuya Rei's.

Koizumi smiled.

Since she was in charge of the experimental base, she had no intention of hiding it from these people.

There's no way to hide it anyway, they'll find out sooner or later, so it's better to say it openly.

As for the part that needs to be kept confidential, mixing lies with the truth is the best way to hide the secret.

Just like how she dealt with Karasuma Renya.

So Koizumi smiled and nodded and said, "Yeah, that's it."

The four of them looked at each other, all more or less surprised by her frankness.

Koizumi cleared up the few remaining slices of tomato on the plate, then leaned back in the sofa and let out a long sigh.

It turns out that eating something sweet can make people feel better.

Furuya Rei asked: "Then what? Is there any information you can share?"

"Well, we have just gathered the personnel, so there is really nothing worth mentioning. If I find anything later, I will let you know."

Sure enough, after hearing her say this, the four people didn't dare to continue asking questions.

"That's it, you guys chat while I go upstairs to rest. I'm so tired."

Having said that, Koizumi dropped his chopsticks, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Zhu Fu Jingguang hurriedly stopped her and said, "You said you would take a good rest for a while, does that mean you will stay in the store and not go out?"

"Well, probably in the near future."

Zhu Fujingguang nodded: "Okay, then I will be responsible for your food arrangements during this period, is that ok?"

"Really? That's great, I couldn't ask for more!"

Koizumi showed a pleasantly surprised expression, bowed slightly, and clasped his hands together to express his gratitude: "Then I'll leave it to you, Zhufu."

The four people watched her walk to the stairs, stand there hesitantly for a few seconds, and then turn back.

"I almost forgot. Matsuda, I need your help with something."

As Koizumi spoke, he placed a chip half the size of a fingernail and a remote control on the table.

Matsuda Jinpei picked up the chip, looked at it, and then brought it to his nose and sniffed it, frowning: "What is this?"

Koizumi replied calmly, "It's probably a sensor chip. When you press the remote control switch, a signal wave is generated that causes the chip to have some kind of... effect. As for how it works and what it does... I don't know. Can I leave it to you to study?"

"can."

"Then see if we can make a corresponding signal blocker."

Signal jammer?

If you don't know anything, why do you say you need a signal jammer right away?

This only illustrates one problem.

Sakurai knew exactly what it was, but she didn't want to say it.

Matsuda Jinpei glanced at her and said, "I'll try."

Seeing that Matsuda was very tactful and didn't ask any more questions, Koizumi smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. Thank you."

After saying that, he waved to the four people and this time he really went upstairs.

Hagiwara Kenji took the chip and looked at it. He then imitated what Matsuda Jinpei had done just now and put it under his nose to smell it. He frowned and said, "It smells like blood."

Furiya Ling muttered: "That means this thing must be related to that experimental base, right?"

After being assigned such a puzzle-like homework, Jinpei Matsuda no longer had the heart to eat or drink.

He put away the chip and the remote control, stood up and said, "That's all for today, let's go."

Zhu Fu Jingguang sent the three people out of the cat cafe and casually took back the "temporarily closed" sign that had just been hung up.

The so-called "exploded kitchen" is just a joke, and we will still be open for business as usual tomorrow.

"Zero, you're driving, right? Take us back to the dorm."

"Yeah, no problem."

Matsuda and Hagiwara walked very fast, and Furuya Rei deliberately lagged behind by a few steps.

"Jing, I still feel that Sakurai's condition is not right. You should pay more attention to him. This guy must have something important to say."

Zhu Fujingguang nodded: "Yes, I know."

Matsuda, who had already walked a short distance, turned back and urged, "Hey, hurry up!"

"Anyway, I'll leave this to you. If anything goes wrong, notify me immediately."

"it is good."

After watching Furutani Rei drive away, Morobushi Keimitsu returned to the cat cafe.

After clearing away the dishes and checking the doors and windows, it was almost three in the morning.

The second floor was pitch black, the door to the master bedroom was closed, there was no light and no sound, it seemed that Sakurai had really gone to bed.

Zhu Fu Jingguang stood at the door of the guest room for a while, making sure that there was really no sound coming from the master bedroom before he went in and closed the door.

Then he thought about it and opened the door again, leaving a gap.

Needless to say, Morobushi Kagemitsu had actually discovered it a long time ago, and Sakurai was just pretending to be relaxed.

She looked very tired, her eyes were lifeless, and her smile was hollow, as if her soul had been taken away.

When introducing the chip to Matsuda, although Sakurai tried hard to remain calm, his eyes were dazed for a moment and his pupils shrank, as if he was recalling some unacceptable memories.

Sakurai was obviously well aware of his situation. He decided to stop and rest for a while because he really couldn't hold on any longer.

The matter must be very serious if it could cause Superman Sakurai to be in this state.

Something from the experimental base...

Bloody smell...

Human experimentation?

I don’t know how long it will take Matsuda to make a name for himself.

It seems that he can't be so leisurely anymore.
