Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi suddenly stood up from the sofa.

Sakurai and Gin next to her were both startled by her.

"Sakurai, go change your clothes. I'll leave all my belongings to you, and then help me prepare for the operation."

Koizumi raised his head, took a deep breath and said, "It's finally here."

Sakurai immediately understood what she meant, and without saying a word, he changed himself into Koizumi's original outfit for the day.

When she saw the text on the phone clearly, she immediately frowned: "Help? What does this mean?"

"Maybe someone is causing trouble for him."

Koizumi removed his equipment and transferred it to Sakurai, saying casually.

Sakurai understood immediately.

It probably couldn't be anyone else except Akai Shuichi and his mother who were looking for a husband/father in the past.

"I'll help you change your equipment."

"it is good."

Koizumi glanced at the time and said, "It's probably only around five or six in the evening there now, don't exaggerate."

"OK."

Having said that, Sakurai immediately sat down on the sofa, picked up a piece of document and pretended to read it, then immediately returned to the system space.

Although it was just a simple conversation, Gin understood it all.

There was a problem with Vermouth, so she called Melo to help.

Wasn't that guy playing hide-and-seek with someone in England? Why did he fail?

And it has come to the point where we actually need to ask Mello for help?

Given Vermouth's cunningness, is it possible?

Although he thought so in his heart, Gin said nothing and just watched silently.

Sakurai was sitting on the sofa with his head down, his eyes fixed on the document in his hands, as if he was reading it carefully, his head moving slightly from side to side.

But if you look closely, you can see that her eyes are empty at this moment, and it is obvious that Sakurai's soul is no longer there.

And then, Koizumi began to take out various things from the void.

Pistol, spare pistol, a knife, bulletproof vest, gloves, waterproof and windproof black hooded jacket.

Oh, and a black coat that looks pretty warm.

That's quite thoughtful.

London in early May is very cold and it often rains.

Then there are all sorts of miscellaneous little gadgets.

Koizumi put on the entire set of equipment very quickly and put all the small pieces into his pockets. In order to prevent the situation of being teleported and immediately entering the battle, he checked his pistol and finally took out a five-yen coin and stuffed it into Sakurai's pocket.

"Okay, that's it. I don't know how long I'll be staying there, so I'll leave this to you..."

Koizumi paused.

She looked up at the silent Gin: "...with Gin."

Sakurai, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up from the documents: "Okay, got it. I'll keep an eye on your situation."

Gin raised an eyebrow.

Not only can we move to London in an instant, but we can also synchronize our thoughts and vision despite the long distance?

This is really convenient.

Koizumi nodded, and finally said to Gin: "Gin, you just need to help cover for Sakurai, don't worry about anything else, she can handle it herself."

Gin nodded: "Okay."

"Then I'll set off."

Having said that, Koizumi nodded to the two people and simply started the transmission.

The moment her figure disappeared, Gin keenly saw that Mello turned into a black cat again.

There were only two people left in the storeroom.

Sakurai looked at the time and it was almost three in the morning.

"Gin, when are you going to leave here?"

"I'll give you an hour. After you make sure she's safe."

Gin said, picking up his phone and calling Vodka.

"Is the trouble upstairs settled?"

"…When it's over, let them disband. Mello will temporarily follow the team and help sort out the confiscated spoils. Contact the logistics department to come over and move, and clear out all the basements here."

------

The black cat landed soundlessly on the soft carpet.

It was dark all around, with no lights, except for a huge screen in front of him, which was playing a movie that Koizumi was not familiar with.

Koizumi immediately figured out his current location.

In a movie theater, in a large screening room, in the middle of the front row, with no one else on the left or right of this row.

Apart from the sound of the movie, the theater was very quiet and it was unclear how many people were nearby.

Koizumi was a little glad that he had the idea to turn into a cat before leaving, otherwise he would have attracted so many people's attention by teleporting here.

Her eyes fell on the man next to her.

Even in the dark, she could still see the woman's face and smell the cider coming from her.

And a hint of blood.

It’s Vermouth for sure, and it’s a battle-damaged version.

At this time, Vermouth was twisting her fingers, and fine gray-white powder was falling from between her fingers.

She pressed her lower abdomen with one hand, turned her head slightly, and looked around cautiously with her peripheral vision.

Not finding the person she was expecting, Vermouth had a puzzled expression on her face.

But despite this, Bayley did not turn around, but kept facing the movie screen, obviously not wanting anyone to notice her little action.

Koizumi did not show up immediately. She quietly slipped to the aisles on both sides and secretly checked the situation behind.

Then she saw the flashlight shaking, and a strange man was checking the faces of the viewers on both sides while slowly searching forward.

Are you searching for Sister Bei?

Is the situation really that urgent?

Koizumi immediately returned to Vermouth, squatted at her feet, regained his human form, and gently pulled at her trouser leg.

Vermouth was so frightened that she shrank her feet, and a small piece of the gun muzzle slipped out of her sleeve.

But when she saw the person under her feet clearly, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the light was too dim, Koizumi was afraid that Sakurai couldn't see his gestures clearly, so he said in a very soft voice: "Disguise and medicine."

Then she pulled hard on Vermouth's trouser leg.

Sister Bei understood and leaned down, sliding down from the seat.

Into his hand was stuffed a five-yen coin, a children's jacket, and... a red and white capsule!

With the help of the light from the big screen, Vermouth could see clearly what was in her hand.

Belmode:......

Isn’t this the capsule that shrunk Chianti into a child’s size in the secret surveillance room of the Big Black Bar?

This is indeed not something that came from Rum's research.

Mello, you little liar!

However, because she had witnessed what happened to Chianti with her own eyes, Vermouth knew very well that this thing could not only change her body shape, but also heal wounds quickly. In the current situation where she was surrounded, it was indeed the most suitable prop.

The only problem is that after eating this thing, she might lose her fighting ability due to side effects.

Is that why Mello gave her another five-yen coin?

So Melo meant for her to find a place to hide first and then wait for her to come for help?

But even if I swallow the capsule right now, it will take time for the drug to take effect, and how can I conceal the steam produced when my body is deformed?

The people who were surrounding her were about to search for her.

Then, Vermouth watched helplessly as Koizumi took out another mask and put it on her face.

In a flash, in the blink of an eye, Sakurai Izumi turned into Vermouth.

Not only has the face changed, but the body has also become bigger!

Then, she quickly took out a golden wig and put it on her head. Finally, she pulled up the hood of her jacket.

Before Vermouth could express her shock, she saw the face that looked exactly like her look up and smile at her, then stand up, pulling up the brim of his hood and quickly running towards the side door of the cinema.

Almost at the same time, Vermouth heard a man's low voice nearby: "Where is she!"

Soon, two people ran out in the direction Sakurai fled.

Because of their actions, a burst of whispers was heard in the theater.

"what's the situation?"

"Not sure. Those men seemed to be looking for someone just now."

"Wow, that's exciting."

"The man behind them should also be their accomplice, why doesn't he follow them?"

"What on earth are you looking for?"

Is there anyone who is not attracted by Sakurai?

Vermouth originally still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She thought that if all the tails behind her were lured away, she wouldn't have to take the capsule to transform and could escape successfully.

But after hearing these two sentences, she no longer hesitated and immediately put the red and white capsule in her hand into her mouth and swallowed it.
