Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi's original plan was to gather all his men together through Kenichiro Nozu, have Black Cat plant a time bomb, and then have Fujiwara Yuto upstairs take action together to wipe out the whole group from top to bottom.

But now that Kenichiro Nozu was yelling at her, she felt a little hesitant to do anything.

If he hadn't imitated the dog, Koizumi could have said that Kenichiro Nozu was resisting stubbornly and found an excuse to kill him.

But now that he expressed his loyalty so fanatically, it must have been heard by Gin and other members of the organization who were nearby.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if Gin hears it, but I’m afraid there are spies of that gentleman mixed in the team.

If Kenichiro Nozu pledged allegiance so strongly but was still killed by her, it would be easy to use this as an excuse to find fault in the future if no suitable excuse could be found.

Moreover, for the company presidents on the third floor, Kenichiro Nozu's deterrent power is still there and should still be very useful.

Besides, he just mentioned that there were things left by Rum in the underground warehouse. With this guy, it would definitely be more convenient to explore the secrets inside.

In any way, a living Kenichiro Nozu is more useful than a dead one.

tsk...

Well, let this guy live a few more days, and then find a suitable excuse to kill him later. Just treat today's performance as an internship performance as Fujiwara Yuto.

But now, we have to make sure he keeps his mouth shut about Fujiwara Yuto, and then get rid of today's surveillance as soon as possible.

But how can we ensure that he can keep his mouth shut?

How about putting a collar on him?

No, no.

This kind of unconventional means should not be easily exposed to outsiders unless necessary.

that……

Tsk, I can’t believe it.

Let's just take it one step at a time and see if I can fool people.

Fujiwara Yuto grabbed Nozu Kenichiro by the back of his collar and pulled him back into the house, saying coldly, "Okay. For now, let's see how you perform."

Nozu Kenichiro nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely follow your instructions!"

However, at this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the room: "I object."

Then someone walked in from outside.

"Sakurai...ah no, Master Mello."

Nozu Kenichiro immediately recognized the person, stood up respectfully, bowed his head and saluted her, and said anxiously: "Please forgive my previous unreasonable behavior. Please, give me another chance to serve the organization and you! I can..."

However, before he could finish, Koizumi shouted, "Shut up! You have no right to speak here!"

"……Yes."

Nozu Kenichiro was speechless for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Ah, wait a moment."

After saying that, he immediately turned off the microphone in his hand.

Perhaps because he was worried that the two people in the room would suspect him of cheating, he deliberately pulled out the microphone cable in front of the two people, unplugged the power of all electronic devices, and then took out a signal blocker, turned it on and placed it in the middle of his desk.

After finishing all this, he bowed to Koizumi and said respectfully, "Please continue."

Koizumi: ...

She was weakened by the other party's "I am sincere" performance, but she still held on to her momentum, staring at Nozu Kenichiro with a stern look, and said to Fujiwara Yuto in a tough tone: "I don't care what you think, but since he saw you like this, he must die!"

She ignored the tragic scene in the room and was not at all frightened by Fujiwara Yuto's terrifying appearance. She even acted as if she was very familiar with this monster.

Such performance made Kenichiro Nozu's heart move, and a vague idea came to his mind.

Koizumi said to Fujiwara Yuto in a somewhat irritable manner: "You should be aware of your confidentiality level, right? It's already a big risk to let you escape and participate in the operation, and now you don't even discuss it with me and just rescue people! People who don't pass the test are absolutely not trustworthy!"

Listening to the conversation between the two people opposite, Kenichiro Nozu gradually widened his eyes and the expression on his face became more and more shocked.

What do you mean?

Could it be that the monster in front of him was not a humanoid mechanical puppet controlled remotely behind the scenes, but an independent individual with independent thinking and action capabilities?

So where does this thinking ability come from? What does it rely on?

Or maybe he simply misunderstood...

This is not a "thing", but a living... "person"?

A living person who has been successfully transformed?!

This, how is this possible!

Before, when Rum was in high spirits, he once revealed to him that besides him, there were other people in the organization who secretly had their own independent research bases, and were studying similar topics as his.

Rum said that they had shared research results, and that the other party had indeed contributed a lot to his current achievements.

Could it be that the person who owns the independent research base is Sakurai Izumi, or Mello?

For a student who graduated from a police academy like this, not only did he get the organization code name at such a young age, but he also founded a family business like TSE. This is already a remarkable achievement.

She actually has her own experimental research base, and her research is on the topic of immortality?

Isn't this the pursuit that only old men with a lot of money and who are reluctant to die would have?

Why would she, a young woman in her early twenties, study this?

Isn't that a bit too much of a precaution?

If this wasn't her need, then whose was it?

Who is she doing this research for?

Maybe there is an incredible supporter, or a whole team, hiding behind Izumi Sakurai?

Is it because of the existence of this person or this organization that Izumi Sakurai was able to achieve her incredible results in a short period of time?

In other words, in addition to the identity known to outsiders, Sakurai Izumi actually has another secret identity?

Is she an executor of some other secret organization?

Did she join the organization just to lay eggs and use the organization to make money for another organization?

Hiss...it's very likely...

The process sounds complicated, but these were actually just thoughts that flashed through Kenichiro Nozu's mind.

Koizumi looked Fujiwara Yuto around, frowned, and said impatiently: "Can't you be more careful? You actually made yourself look like this! Don't you know how difficult it is to get restoration materials? Don't you have an idea of ​​how much it will cost? My family assets are not enough for you to squander!"

Fujiwara Yuto was not moved at all, and just said coldly: "This is part of the test."

Nozu Kenichiro: …

Part of the test!

In other words, is this monster in front of him with a broken head, and it is unclear whether it is a machine or a human, actually the result of research by the mysterious force behind Sakurai Izumi?

If it is true as Rum said that Sakurai and he were researching the same topic, then the so-called "exchange of research results" must not be the equal exchange that Rum imagined.

Sakurai simply unilaterally threw some leftover research scraps to Rum, and Rum felt like he had found a treasure.

Then what is the true strength of the research base behind her...

Oh my God!

Hearing Koizumi on the other side complaining, "My family fortune is not enough for you to squander," Kenichiro Nozu spoke up for some unknown reason.

"So, this is actually the result of your personal research base, Sakurai, and not an organization's project?"

Koizumi suddenly turned around and stared at Nozu Kenichiro in silence.

Wow, anyone who can be a partner with Rum is indeed a master of imagination.

I only gave two hints, but the other party got the implication so quickly!

There's hope, it looks like we can fool people!

Nozu Kenichiro looked at the silent and cold half of Fujiwara Yuto's face and asked tentatively: "You just said that you would temporarily spare my life. Do you actually want me to work for your forces instead of the organization?"

"No, you're wrong."
