Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

A mixed salad of tomatoes, green peppers and onions.

Soup made from shredded seaweed and eggs.

Cut up cucumber appetizer.

The most normal looking tomatoes with sugar.

There are also five plates of fried rice in different colors and styles.

Putting aside other things, just from the appearance of this cucumber dish, one can tell that Sakurai’s mental state is indeed a bit problematic at the moment.

Fūya, Hagiwara, and Matsuda looked at each other, then turned their gaze to Morobushi Kagemitsu.

Zhu Fu looked calm: "The methods and tastes of the five fried rices are different, you can choose your own."

Hagiwara Kenji glanced at the dark brown fried rice closest to him, turned around and saw that Koizumi hadn't come over yet, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Zhu Fu, are you sure these are really okay?"

"Sure." Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled, "Although it looks a bit strange, it actually tastes pretty good."

With his assurance, the three people finally felt relieved.

Koizumi pulled a chair and sat down at the table, letting out a long sigh.

Zhu Fujingguang handed over the Coke: "Thank you for your hard work."

After a busy day, the tightness in my chest finally dissipated a little.

Koizumi took the initiative to introduce his masterpiece to them.

"Regular egg fried rice, soy sauce fried rice, cola fried rice, beer fried rice, and garlic fried rice. I only know how to cook simple dishes like these, so I'll just make do with them."

After saying that, she took the first portion of the most ordinary-looking fried rice.

Zhu Fujing looked at her and said, "Can you give me that?"

"Eh?"

Koizumi was stunned for a moment, but before she could say anything, Zhu Fujingguang reached out and took the plate away from her.

Ah, treacherous!

This guy Zhu Fu actually snatched the most ordinary one first, so what on earth are the remaining four "dark dishes"?

Matsuda Jinpei quickly weighed the matter in his mind and rushed to grab the soy sauce fried rice that sounded the most reliable.

Kenji Hagiwara hesitated for a moment and took the garlic fried rice.

Furiya Rei got the beer fried rice.

As soon as he saw the expressions of these three people, Koizumi roughly knew what they were thinking.

After all, she was the same. At first, she thought these were some strange dark dishes just by hearing the names.

However, she didn't expect that her favorite and most reliable cola fried rice would be left over.

Koizumi glanced at Zhufu Jingguang, but ultimately did not reach out to take it. He just drank Coke and waited leisurely for feedback from others.

"what?"

Kenji Hagiwara took a bite and showed a surprised expression.

Turning around to look at the two people next to him, Matsuda Jinpei was stuffing his mouth with big mouthfuls of rice, and Fūya also had a normal expression. It was obvious that the taste was not as strange as they imagined.

"Zhen Ping, let me have a taste."

"Would you like to try this? It's delicious."

"Hey, I also..."

Finally, all three of them looked at the ordinary fried rice in front of Zhu Fu Jingguang.

Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled and pushed the plate forward.

Three people, one spoon each, and then three faces are hard to describe...

Koizumi chuckled, "This is the first one I made. I accidentally got the salt and sugar wrong. Zhu Fu was watching the whole process, so he knew it. I was kind enough to help you eliminate the wrong answers, but it seems like you guys don't appreciate it."

three people:……

Koizumi smiled and placed the cola fried rice in front of Morobushi Keimitsu.

"I don't really feel like eating, so forget about the unusual taste. By the way, this cola fried rice is actually what I recommend the most."

As for why she didn't feel like eating, the four of them now all knew the reason.

The four of them were silent for a moment, and Hagiwara took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Izumi-chan, where did you learn these fried rice methods?"

On the Internet, in short videos everywhere.

But in Conan's world, smartphones are not yet popular, let alone the developed Internet. They won't understand even if you tell them.

Seeing that Koizumi didn't answer, Hagiwara immediately realized that he had chosen the wrong topic, so he changed the question: "Izumi-chan, is there any place you want to go?"

Not...

She just wanted to settle things in this world as soon as possible and go home.

Forget it, don't expect Hagiwara to find a topic to talk about.

So Koizumi took the initiative to start the topic: "Where I want to go is not important, what's important is where the target you are observing is going, right?"

Hagiwara was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "...Eh, you already know? You were not present when we discussed this topic last time."

Last time, the topic was…

About an undercover organization within the Metropolitan Police Department?

The other three people finally reacted and looked thoughtful.

Koizumi smiled and said, "Besides that, I really can't think of any reason why you would ask me out on a date."

She took a sip of her Coke and slowly spoke out her analysis.

"You discovered the suspicious target that was shaken out by the organizational earthquake three months ago, but because the opponent was too cunning, you have not been able to make a final confirmation. So you plan to use me to put some pressure on the opponent and force him to continue to reveal his flaws. Is that right?

"The person who gave you such a headache is an extremely cautious and unsociable person? That's why he makes things difficult for you, a social expert.

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably want to first let the other party know about your close relationship with my organization's new upstarts in Tokyo, arouse the other party's curiosity about you, and then take the initiative to socialize with you. Is that right?"

Hagiwara Kenji frowned, put down the cutlery in his hand and looked at her seriously: "Do you think there is something wrong with my method?"

"Well, a little bit."

Koizumi nodded.

"You still don't understand the organization's style of operation. This matter may not be as simple as you think.

"First of all, before the other party is ready to approach you, they will definitely conduct a comprehensive investigation on you. Your family background, social relationships, relatives and friends will all go through a wave of sorting, and no one can escape.

"If they have no problems, it's fine. But if any of them have even the slightest problem, it will become a handle for the other party to blackmail you in the future. Are you confident that everyone around you has no problems?

"Guess who will be the first to be affected?"

Koizumi smiled and pointed at the person sitting next to him: "It must be him. Because Matsuda and you are the closest, this is well known, there is no way to escape.

"So if you really want to hook up with the organization's undercover agents in this way, it's best to ask Matsuda's opinion first."

Without waiting for Hagiwara Kenji to say anything, Matsuda Jinpei tapped his plate with his chopsticks, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and said simply, "What if I say I have no objection?"

Koizumi smiled and held up two fingers.

"If all of the above steps are OK, then the other party's investigation will move on to the second step, which is an in-depth investigation of you, Hagiwara. Personality and hobbies, social circle, strengths, weaknesses, and any violations of laws and disciplines that are worth using as evidence.

"If you don't give the other party any leverage, and the other party thinks you are uncontrollable, then sorry, the action has failed and he won't approach you easily.

“But if the other party finds out that there is something wrong with you, he will probably try to make some contact with you, and then move on to the third step, trying to take advantage of your weaknesses to control you and exploit you.

"If you really give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of you and help him achieve his goal, then congratulations, you will most likely gain a new 'friend' in your workplace.

"That's it."

Hagiwara was stunned and subconsciously looked at Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu for confirmation.

Although Furuya Rei did not express his opinion, the expression on his face showed that he was not optimistic about Hagiwara's plan.

Morobushi Kagemitsu nodded and said, "If it was Gin, his actions would be even more exaggerated and thorough than what Sakurai described."

Koizumi nodded: "Based on my observations for so long, the person lurking inside the Metropolitan Police Department is most likely a codenamed member of the organization, and not Gin's man. It is not clear whether he is Rum or that gentleman's subordinate.

"If he is really that gentleman's direct subordinate, with Tokyo under the control of Gin and me, this person will only be more cautious and dormant.

"If he is not 100% sure that he can control a puppet, or obtain extremely important intelligence and benefits, I guess he would rather give up some benefits than act easily."

Koizumi looked at Hagiwara with a smile and said, "So, Hagiwara, what kind of super-important information or benefits can you bring to the other party?"

Kenji Hagiwara frowned and was completely speechless.
