Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi glanced at Kenichiro Nozu next to him, and blinked at Gin helplessly and a little amusedly, with a full sense of suggestion.

(There are outsiders here, how can you let me talk about such a confidential topic?)

Gin crossed his arms and just sneered.

(It’s your problem anyway. Anyway, if you don’t make things clear to me today, don’t expect me to cooperate with your actions.)

Koizumi glared fiercely at Kenichiro Nozu next to him again and frowned at Gin.

(You are so impatient, can't you talk at another time or place?)

Gin raised an eyebrow.

(Haven’t you already conquered the people? You can handle your own people.)

A trace of helplessness flashed in Koizumi's eyes, and he made a pitiful expression.

(No concessions at all?)

Gin turned his eyes away and stopped looking at her.

Koizumi: ...

Helpless and gradually becoming irritated.

Koizumi rolled his eyes fiercely at Kenichiro Nozu who was standing next to him.

This guy is really too ignorant!

It was obvious that she and Gin had expressed their meaning so clearly that even the most clueless Vodka should have understood it, but this man insisted on playing blind and refused to leave.

But if she used more force and drove the people away, who knew if there were any surveillance devices hidden in the basement that she couldn't detect.

What if this guy goes out and then eavesdrops, and then gets more information that he shouldn't know?

Fujiwara Yuto had just suffered a loss, she didn't want to be like a goldfish and repeat the same mistake immediately!

In this case……

Koizumi put his portable camera into his pocket expressionlessly and said coldly, "Oh, forget it if you don't allow me to take pictures."

Then, without hesitation, he got up and left.

Gin was stunned.

Just forget about not allowing filming?

I gave you time to solve the problem, but you ended up solving me?

Watching Koizumi leave the basement without looking back, and listening to the footsteps gradually fading away on the stairs, Gin's face became visibly ugly, and his eyes shot like a knife at the culprit who was still standing next to him.

Kenichiro Nozu was also dumbfounded.

What happened? Why did Sakurai Izumi suddenly leave?

Has her secret communication with Gin ended?

Why is Gin looking at me like that? What on earth did they talk about in private?

...Wait, Gin put his hand into the coat pocket where the gun is!

Danger!

Kenichiro Nozu stepped back suddenly and reached for the gun pouch on his waist, but found nothing.

Gin on the opposite side suddenly narrowed his eyes and showed an expression of realization.

"That time outside the Dahei Bar, when the so-called car was lost, it turned out to be you playing tricks with vodka."

what?

Kenichiro Nozu was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Gin was talking about.

Then, he heard Koizumi's voice behind him saying, "Hey, that's right."

what? !

Kenichiro Nozu turned around suddenly and saw that Koizumi, who had clearly left, had returned again at some point, but he didn't hear any sound at all.

At this moment, the man was standing one step behind him, smiling, holding Kenichiro Nozu's gun in his hand.

Kenichiro Nozu was stunned and involuntarily touched his lower back again.

How did his gun end up in Sakurai's hand?

when……

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and Kenichiro Nozu, who had been pretending to be stupid, turned into a real stupid person and fell to the ground.

"Oh, what a shame. I had planned to keep you for a few more days."

Koizumi sighed and added: "He is so tactless. It will be troublesome if he keeps him."

Gin sat on the sofa without moving from beginning to end. Only then did he take his hand out of his windbreaker pocket and light a cigarette for himself.

"Using your five-yen coin for such a small matter? What a waste."

Koizumi didn't answer, but just raised his head and gave him a slightly weird smile.

Gin frowned.

Merlot What does this mean?

But before he had time to think about it, he heard hurried footsteps coming down the stairs.

Gin turned around and saw Vodka running down from upstairs, panting: "Brother, what happened?"

However, before Gin could say anything, he had already seen the dead person lying on the ground.

Vodka immediately calmed down, put the gun back into the gun bag, and asked, "Brother, do you need me to get rid of this guy?"

This man was neither his recruited subordinate nor his trophy, so theoretically he should not be the one to deal with him.

Gin turned to look at Koizumi, waiting for her to convey her opinion to Vodka, but as soon as he turned his head...

At this time, there were only him and Vodka left in the room, and the Merlot man disappeared.

Gin frowned, put his hand in his windbreaker pocket to hold his gun, and quickly scanned the entire room.

Corners of the room, behind the TV, on bookcases, beside storage cabinets, and even on the ceiling...

There weren't many things in this storage room to begin with, and they were basically all placed against the wall, clearly visible at a glance. There was no place to hide anyone.

What about people?

Finally, his eyes fell on the sofa.

Not far from him, where Melo originally sat, there was a cat.

The black cat lay comfortably and quietly on the sofa, wagging the tip of its tail leisurely, its green eyes staring at him.

When the two men's eyes met, the black cat narrowed its eyes slightly and tilted its head slightly to him.

Gin:......

He even felt that he saw a smile in those cat eyes.

Seeing that Gin hadn't replied and his expression seemed a little strange, Vodka asked again in confusion: "Brother?"

Gin kept his eyes on the cat.

He waved his hand casually: "Get rid of the body, and then guard the entrance to the basement and don't let anyone down."

"Okay, big brother."

Gin thought for a moment and added, "Immediately destroy the surveillance records of this building today, and then dispose of the surveillance room. Be quiet and don't attract the police."

"Okay, big brother."

Vodka, who didn't see the black cat from beginning to end, dragged Kenichiro Nozu's body and left with the mission.

Neither the man nor the cat was in a hurry to react.

Until a dull explosion was faintly heard from upstairs, and then Gin's phone vibrated.

Gin finally looked away and took a look at Vodka's "Mission Accomplished" report email.

When he looked up again, the black cat was gone. Koizumi was sitting leisurely on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at him with a smile.

Gin then said calmly: "...It was you that time."

Of course Koizumi knew what Gin was talking about, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's me."

"Ah……"

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder he always felt that the cat that came to the safe house to harass him was a little too smart, as if it had been specially trained by someone.

It wouldn't be surprising at all if the cat was Merlot.

It turned out that she had obtained the information about Pramya from him that time.

No wonder Mello is so good at hiding his whereabouts and has never failed in various assassination missions.

A black cat that is smart, agile and strong is really convenient.

And she also...

The expression on Gin's face opposite him changed from confusion to realization, from realization to sarcasm, and then from sarcasm to... anger?

Koizumi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something not so good.

She swallowed involuntarily and said with a wry smile, "As for the incident where I stepped on your head, I can explain it..."

Gin stared at her and said coldly: "Well, you'd better have an explanation that satisfies me."
