Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

After completing the statement, Suzuki Sonoko was picked up by her family's nanny car.

Kudo Yusaku originally wanted to take Kudo Shinichi away immediately, but he didn't know what ideas this kid had. He refused to leave and insisted on following Koizumi's car to send Xiaolan home first.

Kudo Yusaku had no choice but to hope that Koizumi could help him reject Kudo Shinichi's unreasonable request.

But who would have thought that Koizumi actually nodded and agreed with a smile.

"Okay, no problem. Then Mr. Kudo, how about you just drive behind us? Or go back first, and I'll take this kid home for you later?"

Thinking of what Sakurai had just said to his son in the office, Kudo Yusaku looked at the confused Mao Lilan, and then looked at Koizumi's cheerful expression...

He also wants to sit in Kenji Hagiwara's car!

But if he were present, Shinichi, who is so thin-skinned, probably wouldn't say anything.

Alas, what a pity.

Koizumi looked at Kudo Yusaku's expression, grinned wickedly, and quietly stuffed an earphone into his hand.

"Then follow behind our car? After we drop off Ran-chan, you can pick up Kudo-chan."

Kudo Yusaku was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "...Okay, thank you."

"Hey, it's just a joke."

Kenji Hagiwara also noticed Koizumi's little trick.

Seeing that Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi were already sitting in the back seat of his car, he quietly approached Koizumi and asked softly, "With the two of us light bulbs here, are you sure that Kudo can successfully confess?"

Koizumi glanced at the two people in the back seat of the car, deliberately opened the passenger door a crack before answering: "If he can't do it, I will break them up and introduce a new boyfriend to the girl."

Xiaolan in the car had a confused look on her face, and had no idea who the "girl" in Koizumi's words was.

And the smart and know-it-all little Kudo: !!!

He stared at the back of Koizumi's head, looking constipated, as if there was something stuck in his throat.

I want to curse but I don’t dare.

As a fellow humorous person, Kenji Hagiwara was afraid of laughing himself, so he forced himself not to look at Kudo Shinichi's expression.

Sitting in the driver's seat, he turned on the stereo, trying to use music to divert his attention and make the atmosphere in the car less awkward.

Koizumi has never paid attention to the entertainment industry in this world since she traveled through time, and she has never heard the song that Hagiwara played.

The song is good, the tune is catchy and the lyrics are catchy. Xiaolan kept singing along quietly.

When the chorus was repeated, Koizumi could hum along with the tune even though he had never heard it before.

"Sakurai-san, do you like this song too?"

"It's OK, but this is the first time I've heard it. Whose song is this?"

As Koizumi spoke, he picked up the empty tape box thrown in the cup holder and took a look at it.

As she saw the picture on the tape box clearly, she heard Mao Lilan say: "The singer's name is Okino Yoko, a little star in a newly debuted idol group. She has become quite famous recently. She is my favorite in that idol group."

Earth Ladies Team...

Just looking at the four people on the cover dressed like Sailor Moon, Koizumi was so embarrassed that he tapped his toes on the ground.

Koizumi: "... Uncle Maori should like her too, right?"

Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes. Dad also likes Miss Yoko's songs and plays this album at home all the time."

Koizumi: ...

Maybe I don't just like Ms. Yoko's songs, but I like Yoko Okino as a person.

Mao Lilan sighed and complained, "Because I listened to it so many times, I have memorized the entire album."

Koizumi: "... Could it be that Uncle Mori often watches Okino Yoko's TV show?"

"Yes, he will record all programs that include Miss Yoko!"

Koizumi: "... and he was watching the TV while hugging it and saying things like 'Yoko-san is amazing'."

"That's it!"

Xiaolan slapped the chair indignantly and shouted, "He always goes crazy in front of the TV, but every time he sees mom, he becomes very cold. Really, I hate him so much!"

Koizumi: ...

Has he finally become the Maori Kogoro she is familiar with?

She originally thought that this man decided to separate because he was afraid that his wife and children would be involved in something bad, but looking at the situation now, Koizumi is a little unsure.

And the fact that he easily agreed to let Xiaolan go to the amusement park with her is also very different from his reaction when Kogoro Mouri first learned about his special identity.

So is Kogoro Mori just creating a character setting, or is he influenced by the will of the world and became like this?

Koizumi turned his head and glanced at Kudo Shinichi.

The little guy hugged his shoulders angrily, looking like he was still sulking, and it seemed like he had forgotten the reason why he had to take this train.

We are not far from the Mori family. If we let him do this, won’t we have no fun?

So Koizumi decided to give him another push.

"...Kudou-chan, have you decided what kind of fighting technique you want to learn?"

Kudo Shinichi turned his head proudly and looked out the window, ignoring her.

Koizumi didn't care about his attitude at all, and just continued to talk to himself: "I sincerely recommend that you consider the police career.

"Not to mention that this profession is highly compatible with you, your father has such a good relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department. Just based on this point, you have already won 80% of the police academy graduates at the starting line."

Hagiwara Kenji disagreed and said, "You can't say that. Everyone starts from the same point."

Koizumi nodded. "Even if we start from the same point, you can't deny that he will get more attention than others. With so many police academy graduates every year, those who can be noticed and entrusted with important tasks from the beginning will certainly be more likely to stand out. Right?"

Kenji Hagiwara had nothing to say and could only nod in acknowledgment.

Koizumi turned his head and looked at Kudo Shinichi's expression again.

The child still turned her head to look out the window, pretending that she didn't care what you said, but the expression on her face clearly showed that she had listened carefully to the conversation between her and Hagiwara.

Koizumi turned back and continued to talk to himself: "Secondly, don't forget what your girlfriend's father does. Even if he has resigned now, his connections are still there, especially since his current job still requires him to frequently deal with the Metropolitan Police Department."

Xiaolan blinked a little dully: "Shinichi's girlfriend?"

"Oh, you can't say that. After all, he hasn't confessed yet."

"Hey, Shinichi, do you have someone ready to confess your feelings to?"

Kudo Shinichi's scalp suddenly went numb, and he hurriedly explained: "I didn't! Don't listen to Aunt Sakurai... Sister's nonsense!"

"It's okay, I'll just be your aunt."

Koizumi said faintly, "I found that being an elder is also good. At least when I teach people, I don't feel any psychological burden at all."

Kudo Shinichi finally couldn't help but complain: "...You didn't have any psychological burden originally!"

"Hey, you finally pay attention to me?"

Hagiwara parked the car in front of the Mori Detective Agency. Koizumi simply unbuckled his seat belt, turned around and leaned on the back of the chair without any image. He said to Kudo Shinichi in the back: "You little brat, you should know that your girlfriend's parents don't like you very much."

Mao Lilan looked confused.

Hasn't Shinichi already denied it? Why does Sakurai-san still insist that he has a girlfriend?

Koizumi: "Think about it. If you confirm your relationship with your girlfriend, her parents will take better care of you for the sake of their children. Then you can study law with your mother-in-law and learn judo and boxing with your father-in-law. You can save tuition fees and improve their favorability. Isn't it worth it?

"You can even take fighting lessons with your girlfriend. Sticking to each other in opposite directions, close contact, aren't you tempted?"

Kudo Shinichi's eyes suddenly widened.

Ah, this is really a path he had never imagined!
