Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"I agree with Kudo-chan. This really makes you look like a clown."

As Koizumi uttered this joke, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became subtle.

The Kudo father and son who were watching became alert instantly.

Kudo Shinichi looked very interested and excited: …

I just know!

Aunt Sakurai's sudden appearance in London definitely has more than one purpose!

When I met her in a cat cafe the day before yesterday, she said something like she was on vacation, and it turned out to be bullshit!

He had just sent Xiaolan and him back to their respective homes, but he suddenly came to London. It must be an action plan that he had made long ago!

If he hadn't been afraid that Uncle Mori and Aunt Kisaki Eri would come and beat him up, and hadn't made an excuse to visit Sherlock Holmes' former residence, he would have almost missed such an important event!

Aunt Sakurai is so cunning. She never takes him with her when there is something fun!

But she actually agreed with me and said that Akai brother is a "clown", and then Akai brother suddenly became nervous. Why?

When I called him a clown, Akai-san didn't show any abnormality.

Ah, Aunt Akai over there also has an angry expression on her face.

So this case is not only related to Akai-gege, but also to Akai-aunt?

Ahhh, so what is it?

I really want to know!

At the same time, Kudo Yusaku looked at his son's interested expression with a headache, then looked at Koizumi and Akai Shuichi who were in a state of confrontation, and sighed helplessly.

As soon as he entered the restaurant and saw Sakurai, he vaguely realized that something was wrong. He should have taken his wife and son and left immediately!

What a mistake!

Although he tried his best to say many good things about Sakurai when Shuichi Akai came to visit his house to test the waters last time, these two people still clashed in the end?

If he guessed correctly, Shuichi Akai should be an FBI lurking in the Neon Investigation Organization.

But Sakurai's identity is too complicated. He is not only a member of the organization, but also an undercover agent of the Neon Public Security within the organization, and also the boss of a company who has signed a cooperation agreement with the Americans.

So what is the conflict between her and Shuichi Akai who is from the FBI?

Is it America’s interest or the organization’s problem?

And why are they both in London at the same time?

Is there some big operation going on in London?

Shuichi Akai was already in the restaurant before their family greeted Sakurai. Why did he have to wait until his family greeted Sakurai before showing up?

Did he think there would be some danger in talking to Sakurai now?

Where does the danger come from?

Sakurai herself, or the one beside her...

Come to think of it, Sharon Wynyard, the popular American actress, is also a member of the organization? And she looks like she is very familiar with Yukiko?

Ah this...

In an instant, Kudo Yusaku wrote a 100,000-word brain-burning novel in his mind that was as exciting as the Sherlock Holmes detective stories.

As the Kudo father and son observed, Akai Shuichi's reaction was indeed very strong.

As soon as Koizumi said "clown", his gaze towards Koizumi suddenly became sharp.

If he was not mistaken, then what Sakurai said was a double entendre, right?

Did she call me a clown based on yesterday's farce-like joint action or because of my performance in the cinema where I was fooled?

The helper who deceived everyone in the cinema was really Sakurai himself?

Akai Shuichi was silent for a moment, then said, "...From your point of view, it's not wrong to say that (I) am a clown."

Koizumi showed a surprised expression, pointed at the corner of his eye and said, "I just said that your bruise really looks like it's made up with oil paint. Are you really playing the role of a clown?"

Akai Shuichi pulled up the corners of his mouth and chuckled, saying meaningfully: "Oh, yes. I thought I was getting the script of an investigator, but I didn't expect that I would end up being a clown."

Kudo Yusaku:…

Did Shuichi Akai suffer a loss at the hands of Sakurai?

Kudo Shinichi:......

What? What does the script mean?

The case happened because Akai-san got the wrong script?

Koizumi laughed and said, "Huh, it's a scripted performance? I thought circuses were usually impromptu performances. Are there any more performances later?"

Akai Shuichi: "No, it's over. And there won't be any more performances in the short term."

Kudo Yusaku:…

The FBI launched a premeditated raid on the organization, but it ended in failure?

The FBI has given up on follow-up actions for some reason and will not continue to cause trouble for the organization or Sakurai in the short term?

Kudo Shinichi:......

Are the shows over? There won't be any more shows?

Is it because the victim is an important actor in the show?

Is anyone seriously injured or has anyone died?

Ahhh, really!

What’s wrong with these two adults? They can’t even explain the case clearly!

Koizumi pretended to be surprised: "Not any time soon? That's a shame. I thought I would have a chance to see a show before I go back."

Akai Shuichi: "Didn't you go to see it yesterday? But why did I seem to see you in the audience?"

Koizumi looked puzzled: "Eh, really? But I just arrived in London yesterday evening. Can I ask where the performance is?"

Shuichi Akai: "Yesterday evening at around 5pm, at the Thompson Cinema, you really didn't go to see it?"

Kudo Yusaku:…

Sakurai participated in yesterday's organization's operation with a hidden identity or disguise, but was still discovered by Akai Shuichi.

But Shuichi Akai has no evidence, so he can't convict her?

Kudo Shinichi:......

Yesterday evening?

The plane they were on also landed in London around five o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Could it be that Aunt Sakurai was actually on the same flight as them?

Even if this person saw them on the plane, he would never come over to say hello, but would avoid him instead.

So, maybe it is really like this!

Koizumi looked thoughtful and said, "Thompson Cinema? It sounds familiar."

She turned to Vermouth and asked, "It seems to be the small cinema next to our hotel?"

Turning back to Akai Shuichi, he said, "I passed by that area later in the evening and saw a commotion outside the cinema full of policemen. I didn't go over to see the excitement, but walked around from a distance. So was there something wrong with yesterday's performance?"

Kudo Yusaku: ...? !

Thompson Cinemas!

After dinner yesterday, because Shinichi was lazy and didn't want to go out, he accompanied Yukiko for a walk nearby. From a distance, they saw the messy cinema entrance full of police officers. They took a detour for fear of causing trouble.

So that was the scene of the conflict? So close to them?

He originally wanted to spend a few more days here with his wife and children, but...

It’s too dangerous. I should book a flight home right away!

Kudo Shinichi: ...? !

Thompson Cinemas!

The cinema was near the hotel where they were staying, he had an impression of it!

Last night, last night...

Ahhh! He shouldn't be lazy!

If I had followed his mother out for a walk, I would have been able to personally participate in last night's events instead of just listening about them here today!

How could he have missed such a big event?

Not reconciled!

In response to Koizumi's question, Akai Hide answered succinctly: "It's not a big problem, just some minor accidents happened during the performance."

Koizumi chuckled and asked curiously, "Accident... For example?"
