Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi lay on the bed, staring at the dark ceiling.

She was very sleepy and tired, but she didn't dare close her eyes.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the fact was that she was a little scared.

She was clearly in her own room, lying on a soft and comfortable bed, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she felt as if she was lying on a cold laboratory table, with the sound of a chainsaw echoing in her ears.

There were footsteps in the corridor.

Koizumi knew it was Morobushi Kagemitsu.

Fortunately, she has Zhu Fu by her side.

If she was really the only one left in the house at this moment, Koizumi felt that she would collapse again.

Oh no, she has other reinforcements!

With a thought, Koizumi sent the little black cat, the tabby cat and the cow cat back to the system space.

Unexpectedly, Ares and the Sheriff actually put on a Shura show for her. So let the three of them continue to make trouble in the space.

Sending these three noisy guys in should help Sakurai relieve some of the stress.

As her experimental assistant today, Sakurai has been subjected to no less stimulation and pressure than her. It must be very uncomfortable for him to stay in the system space alone.

As for herself.

Koizumi's hands sank and she lost her hold on him. The big orange fell on her chest, pressing her so hard that it choked her breath.

Even though they suddenly changed places, Daju remained very calm.

[Boss, are you in a bad mood today? ]

"Yeah, a little bit. Come sleep with me today."

With a big, warm and soft pillow in his arms and the snoring sound of the big orange cat in his ears, Xiaoquan gradually relaxed.

However, she felt as if she had just fallen asleep when she was suddenly awakened by the sound of a cat meowing and knocking on the door.

Koizumi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed in shock, his body, head and face all wet.

[Boss, boss, what’s wrong with you? ]

"Sakurai? What happened? Sakurai!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang had just laid down for a short while when he heard a cat's urgent cry outside, and the little sleepiness he had just felt quickly disappeared.

He suddenly jumped out of bed and ran to the door of the master bedroom following the sound.

There was another burst of rapid panting and cat meowing in the room.

Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't dare to rush in directly, so he could only bang on the door and yell, "Sakurai? Sakurai! Hey, Sakurai, what happened!"

Just when he was almost unable to resist the urge to break in, the sound in the room suddenly stopped.

After a moment, Koizumi said in a hoarse voice: "Sorry, did I disturb you? I just had a nightmare."

Nightmare?

What kind of nightmare is this? What on earth have you been through?

Zhu Fujingguang's heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you really okay? Do you want me to bring you a cup of hot milk?"

"No, it's too late. You should get some rest too."

"...Okay. Then you need me for something?"

"Okay, thank you."

There was a rustling sound in the room, and then it was quiet again.

He was told to go and have a rest, but Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't dare to leave, so he simply sat down against the wall opposite the master bedroom.

Zhu Fu Jingguang's mind was in a mess.

He couldn't help but think of how Koizumi looked when she walked back from the rain today, her abnormal condition several times, and the things she gave to Jinpei Matsuda.

That’s right, it must be because of that thing!

Sakurai said she had just taken over the organization's drug research experimental base.

Then maybe this thing is a prop used for human experiments?

In the darkness, Zhu Fu Jingguang stared at the door of the master bedroom with his eyes slightly narrowed.

What did Sakurai see, or what did she experience herself?

What on earth is that bloody chip that could make her collapse to this extent?

It seems necessary to tell Matsuda tomorrow and ask him to hurry up and come up with something.

No, that's not right.

It seems that Sakurai definitely knows what that thing is and what it is used for.

So the focus is not on studying the function of the chip, but what she asked Matsuda to do.

She needs a signal jammer for that thing!

Matsuda, that guy, has just received such a new project and he must be still awake. Maybe Hagiwara is also studying it with him.

Why not go and tell them now?

Thinking of this, Zhu Fu Jingguang was about to go back to his room to make a phone call, but as soon as he stood up, he heard the cat's meow again coming from the master bedroom.

Sakurai clearly didn't make any sound, why did Daju start screaming again?

Zhu Fu Jingguang heard a "dong" sound, and then the sound of a cat scratching the door.

After three months of getting along, Zhu Fu Jingguang had already discovered that Daju was unusual.

Like the tabby cat Ares and the cow cat Sheriff, it is the leader of this group of little guys in the cat cafe and is really smart.

So he asked tentatively: "Daju, is that you?"

"Meow."

"You figured it out?"

Silence, and then the sound of scratching on the door.

"You don't want to come out, you want me to come in?"

The sound of scratching the door stopped, and there was another "meow".

"Then I'll open the door."

Zhu Fu Jingguang tentatively opened the door, and then saw Daju squatting at the door called out to him, turned around and jumped back on the bed, then turned around and looked at him and called out again.

"I'm coming in. Sakurai?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang said something, walked to the bed in the dark, and then was shocked to find that there was no one on the bed.

What about people?

He immediately fumbled for the bedside lamp and turned it on.

There was indeed no one on the bed, but there was a black cat, a black cat whose whole body was shaking and twitching.

"Sakurai, you bastard..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang felt both depressed and distressed.

Did it turn into a cat because it didn't want me to hear any unusual sounds?

He held the cat in his arms, patted its little head soothingly, and asked softly, "Sakurai, are you having a nightmare again?"

The black cat opened its eyes a little, looked at him with a dazed look, meowed, and then closed its eyes and fell asleep again.

Zhu Fu Jingguang:...

Could it be that this guy was so sleepy that he forgot that he is now in the state of a cat?

The black cat was quiet for a moment and then began to twitch again.

So how long has this person been in this state?

I'm obviously extremely tired, but I keep having nightmares and can't sleep well. It would be strange if I don't have a mental breakdown!

Zhu Fujingguang held the cat in his arms, patting it gently as if he was coaxing a child, and whispered to it in a soothing voice: "Dear, it's okay, it's okay. You are in the office now, I am here, Daju is here too, and downstairs are all your little bodyguards, it's safe here..."

I don’t know if it was his patting or his comfort that worked, but the black cat really calmed down slowly.

Zhu Fu Jingguang turned his head to look at Daju who had been squatting quietly beside him, and asked: "I want to take Sakurai to my room, do you want to come with me?"

Daju glanced at him, jumped off the bed first and ran to the door.

Zhu Fu Jingguang returned to his guest room holding the black cat.

He was half lying on the bed, continuing to comfort the black cat while sending emails to the other three, explaining what had just happened and his own speculations.

[I remember what that remote control is! It was the remote control I snatched from the dead "Vermouth" that night at the Daikoku Bar. Maybe that's the reason why Sakurai died that time! ]

Sure enough, the three of them were still awake.

Matsuda Jinpei: [Only the remote control has no chip? Where did the chip come from? Okay, I get it. I will prioritize the signal jammer. Sakurai, that bastard, doesn't say anything again! ]

Hagiwara Kenji: [I will go there tomorrow after I finish my work! I remember Xiaoshu said that Sakurai has a lot of things she has never experienced before, so I will take her there to relax after a while.]

Furuya Rei: [I see. This guy is really... The Public Security Bureau is looking for me. I can't go there tomorrow, so I'll let Hagiwara go over to help you first.]

Zhu Fujingguang put down his phone, looked down at the little guy in his arms, and sighed softly: "Rely on us more, Sakurai. You are not fighting alone."
