Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi really didn't know how to continue facing these four people.

She wanted to escape immediately, but when she turned around, she found that Jinpei Matsuda had locked the door of the workshop at some point.

Not only that, Matsuda himself was standing guard in front of the gate, looking like Cerberus, the guardian of hell.

The moment she hesitated, Zhu Fu Jingguang grabbed her wrist tightly.

At the same time, Furuya Rei walked away quickly, guarding the cat passage on the other side that Koizumi had left behind, and shouted, "Hagiwara!"

Without any hesitation, Kenji Hagiwara ran to the corner of the workshop and pulled out a large folded net from the locker. The edges were threaded with steel wire and could be quickly unfolded and used.

"Oh, the monitor is not here, it's hard for me to control the network by myself!"

Matsuda Jinpei walked over quickly: "The door is locked, I'll come."

Then the two men quickly spread out the fishing net, circled around her and Zhufu Jingguang, and surrounded them in the middle.

Several people performed their duties, cooperated well, and were well-trained. It was obvious that they had practiced many times!

Koizumi was stunned.

Looking closely at Koizumi's expression, Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled: "In fact, we also prepared tranquilizer guns and cat cages. But I guess you don't want to use those things, right?"

Koizumi said with a smile: "What are you going to do?"

Behind her, Matsuda Jinpei, who was holding a fishing net, said faintly, "Of course, it's to catch a cat demon like you and send it to the laboratory."

"Don't scare her, Zhen Ping. What if she gets stressed out?"

Koizumi: ...

Although the man in front of him did not make any moves, Zhu Fu Jingguang did not relax his vigilance at all: "Sakurai, we will never let you escape before the end of this conversation."

Koizumi sighed, "You should know that these methods can't control me at all, right?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded: "As long as it can delay your action a little bit, it will be fine."

Koizumi glanced around the workshop and asked curiously, "Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang hesitated for a moment: "...Yes, but you will definitely not like it."

Koizumi became more curious: "Oh, what is it? Tell me about it."

Zhu Fujingguang's expression was a little awkward for a moment.

He didn't say anything, but Matsuda Jinpei behind him sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid of men? Even if you are immune to us, you still can't accept close physical contact, right?

"That time at the police academy, you were just covered with random clothes, and you had such a severe stress reaction.

"What if Zhufu directly stuffs you into his clothes, or takes off his shirt to increase the contact area..."

Koizumi: ...? !

Zhu Fu Jingguang coughed uncomfortably, but still stared at her, holding her wrist tightly.

Obviously, if he judged it necessary, he would act without hesitation.

Hagiwara Kenji said with a smile: "If one Morobushi is not enough, there is still me. Izumi-chan, don't you always dislike me? You can't bear to have close contact with me, right?"

Koizumi: ...

What is this?

Psychic attack or beauty trap?

"...Pfft!"

Koizumi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha! How could you come up with such an idea! Hahaha!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed helplessly: "Because your special abilities are really unsolvable. If we don't have to, we don't want to do that."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said, "Hey~ I'm really looking forward to it. How about you move aside and let me do it."

Matsuda Jinpei glanced at him and said, "You came? And then you got so red-faced, your limbs stiff, and you even walked with your limp?"

"Hey, Zhen Ping!"

"What? Isn't there a precedent? Last time..."

"Jinpei Matsuda!"

"Are you so angry that you are embarrassed? You don't have the mental strength to do this."

"You're all right? You're just good at talking. You're still single at your age. You've never even held a girl's hand, right?"

"You talk like you're different!"

"Oh, I am indeed different. After all, I am still a friend of women!"

When the term "friend of women" came out, Koizumi laughed so hard that he couldn't even stand.

"You two, hiccups, are you planning to make me laugh until... I have no strength to resist? Oh, I can't do it anymore..."

Koizumi patted Zhu Fujingguang's hand to signal him to relax, then sat back on the sofa, wiping his tears and waving his hands weakly.

"Everyone, please put away your magical powers. I admit defeat and promise not to run away. If you have anything you want to ask, just come to me."

"What exactly are the things you gave to Nae Oyamada and Ken Takagi?"

“A newly developed beauty product.”

“…Is it really just a beauty product?”

"Yeah, didn't you and Zhu Fu see it? Why, are you interested and want to try it?"

"...If I say I want it, will you provide the product?"

"You're dreaming. I won't give it to you. You will definitely take my stuff to the laboratory for testing. If the secret inside is cracked, how can I make money?"

"…Are you really doing this just for the money? Is this another way to earn funding for the organization?"

"Hey, I've already said that this is my own business, and it has nothing to do with the organization. Moreover, I didn't kill anyone or set any fire. It's completely legal and normal business. Even if it's the organization's business behind the scenes, can you tell me what's wrong with me?"

"The effects of that product are clearly abnormal. Are you really sure it's harmless?"

"Yes, I'm 100% sure. Look, I dare to put it in my mouth."

“…What if it’s a chronic outbreak?”

"Hey, I gave it to Nae Oyamada and Ken Takagi to use! If there is a problem, would I harm my own people? Or do you think I am the kind of person who does all kinds of evil without any limit?"

"..."

"What do you mean by that look? Do you think I don't understand? If you really think there's something wrong with me, arrest me right now, right now!"

"Sakurai, your new product should be considered a specific type of pharmaceutical product. Has it been approved?"

"It is currently under review and it is said that the approval number will be issued in a few days."

"Zhu Fu, it's unnecessary for you to ask this question. With the connections and capabilities of that organization, it shouldn't be easy to get a batch number? So, is the thing you are talking about really as exaggerated as Kenji described?"

"um, yes."

"If that's the case, the news about this thing will spread like a virus very quickly. It will be unstoppable. I estimate that it won't be long before the door of Sakurai's club is squeezed out."

"Izumi-chan, so that's why you asked Ken Takagi to transfer personnel from TSE to Santa Felina to form a security team? Did you foresee this outcome?"

"Yes. I asked Nae Oyamada to give her a trial so that she could be my spokesperson for publicity. And the five recommendation quotas I gave her were my political bargaining chips."

“…I ask you to provide samples to the police for testing.”

"No!"

“You can buy it!”

"You can't afford it. The police department is so stingy that they won't pay for it."

"So are you planning to wait until the incident gets out of hand so that the police can come and negotiate with you directly? They have already started to be wary of you again. This time, the person from the Public Security Committee gave me a direct order to keep a close eye on your every move."

"No! Believe it or not!"

"You guy!"

"Sakurai, why don't you make a request directly to the police? Provide them with a small amount of samples for testing, but ask them not to disclose the test results or use them commercially? This stalemate is not a good thing for you.

"What if the Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department interfere with your normal business operations and prevent you from operating normally? Why not compromise a little and provide them with some samples? That would at least appease them in the short term, right?"

"...Okay, then I'll arrange for a sample leak after a while, and you can take the opportunity to take the stuff away."

"Why bother?"

"Tsk! Why do you have so many whys? You must be a dictionary expert!"

"Sakurai..."

"...Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you!

"That gentleman has probably discovered that his means of controlling me have failed, and he has been very wary of me during this period, so I must not let him catch me wrong! Losing things is a small matter, but if I blatantly make a deal with the public security, how do you think he will react? I have finally taken control of Tokyo, and I must not be countered because of such a small matter!"

"...You also said that this club is not the organization's property."

"Ahhh, calm down! Sakurai, don't do anything!"

"Zero, shut up!"

"…I have one last question before you shut up. What was your reason for faking the tape?"

"you guess."

"..."

"I've said enough! And I only promised to let you ask any questions, but I didn't say I would definitely answer them."

"..."

"…Sakurai, I have a question too."

"Oh, Zhufu, you say."

"Once you have accomplished your goal and everything is settled, what are your plans?"

"..."

"I guess your so-called 'final battle' is not far away. You should consider your retreat plan."

"…I don't have any plans. I am just dust."
