Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"Stop it!"

Amid Karasuma Renya's heavy breathing, the two people who were fighting fiercely finally retreated and separated.

Koizumi slightly bent his body and put his hand on his lower abdomen.

After all, it was a close combat. Gin's reflexes were not much worse than hers, but his strength was much greater than hers, so it was inevitable that he would get injured.

She had just been hit hard in the stomach and felt as if her internal organs were injured and the pain was unbearable.

Also, the wound on her waist opened again and began to drip blood.

but……

Koizumi looked at the bloodstains on the dagger, then looked at the hole in Gin's black windbreaker cut by the dagger and the faint bloodstains underneath, then looked at the small handful of golden hair in his other hand, and raised the corner of his mouth at Gin provocatively.

See? That’s progress, right?

I am no longer that useless person who can't even touch you!

Gin:......

He used the back of his hand to wipe the long bloodstain on his cheek, and at the same time concealed the curve of his mouth.

A hoarse roar came from the microphone, and Karasuma Renya roared angrily: "You two bastards, don't you remember that the organization prohibits code members from fighting among themselves? How dare you do it in front of me! This is too outrageous! Let..."

Then he couldn't give in anymore.

Koizumi guessed that he wanted to say something like, "Let the person in charge punish you," but then he immediately remembered that she and Gin were the only two persons in charge of the Tokyo district, and he currently did not have the ability to bring these two people back to his side to discipline them, let alone punish them, so he could not continue.

Gin snorted coldly, reloaded the bullets into Beretta's gun and put them back into his pocket, then returned to his original position without saying a word.

"Pooh!"

Koizumi spat a mouthful of blood in the direction of Gin with a look of disdain, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and made an inconspicuous gesture in front of his eyes, telling Sakurai that she needed treatment.

Sakurai was very clear that the recovery effect couldn't be too obvious in the current situation, so the treatment was just sufficient, and he was very tactful to only slightly alleviate her condition.

There was a flow of heat in her body, and Koizumi felt the pain in her abdomen eased a little. She could straighten her back and speak.

Very good, that's enough.

It was not until this time that Miyano Shiho leaned out from under the chair, her face full of horror.

She stared at Koizumi with wide eyes and trembling for a moment, then gently and slowly moved her chair a little away from Koizumi, looked at her again, and moved it a little further away.

It's obvious that he's frightened.

Koizumi ignored Miyano Shiho's little action.

She adjusted her mood, took a deep breath, and lowered her head slightly towards the black figure on the monitor.

"I'm very sorry, sir. I was too impulsive just now. Please forgive me."

But then she straightened her back and said firmly: "But I will stick to my decision!"

Koizumi turned around and glanced at Gin with disgust: "There is absolutely no possibility between me and this bastard!"

Koizumi could see that the person in the monitor took several deep breaths.

After waiting for a while, Karasuma Renya managed to suppress his anger and said in a stiff tone: "I understand."

Hearing the other party's answer, Koizumi immediately took the opportunity to push the boat and quickly added: "I hope you don't have to worry about this matter in the future. I don't like any of those people in the organization! What kind of man I look for is up to me!"

As soon as the words fell, Koizumi keenly heard, in addition to the heavy breathing, a slight grinding sound coming from the microphone.

After a long silence, the gentleman spoke again, his voice cold and icy.

"……up to you."

very good!

First goal achieved!

Koizumi raised the corner of his mouth, and then bowed slightly to the figure on the monitor with a very "sincere" attitude: "Thank you very much for your understanding."

Karasuma Renya might have originally wanted to negotiate with Koizumi, but now that Koizumi had taken the initiative and confronted her head-on, her rhythm was obviously disrupted. She no longer had the mood to continue beating around the bush with her, and her subsequent questions became much more blunt and direct.

"Mello, are you doing your job at the drug research base?"

Koizumi nodded without shame: "Of course. According to your request, I did not interfere with the research work. The research progress is controlled by Miss Shirley herself."

Koizumi turned to Miyano Shiho and nodded: "Get up at nine, start working at ten, have lunch and take a nap at twelve, start working at three in the afternoon, and get off work at six. The work is not saturated, but it fully takes into account the rest and study time a child needs. It's very reasonable."

Miyano Shiho: !!!

Miyano Shiho's face turned pale and her expression became a little frightened.

Melo actually complained first!

But she really had nothing to refute on this point.

Since entering the drug research base, she has indeed become much lazier. She slacks off in the laboratory every day and basically does nothing serious.

Karasuma Renya's pressure dropped even lower.

"…Shirley, please give me a separate report on your research progress later."

In response, Miyano Shiho could only bite the bullet and nod, "Yes, sir."

...By the way, although there has been no progress in the research of APTX4869, she can submit the test report on Merlot's beauty serum to make up for the mistakes!

She could tell that gentleman that her recent research focus is on this new product!

If that gentleman is interested, he can take this opportunity to ask Melo for more beauty serum for research!

It's really strange.

No matter how she tested, she really couldn't detect any problems.

Judging from various analysis results, it is a pure plant extract, purer than any product on the market and can truly meet food grade standards.

Just, outrageous!

The effect is obviously so abnormal, how come there is no problem detected!

It must be because the base's analytical equipment is not precise enough.

Just like she had just said to Melo, she needed more sophisticated and advanced analyzers, more mice for toxicity experiments, and more beauty serum samples!

Well, it’s not that she doesn’t have a job, it’s just that the logistical support is not in place!

Thinking of this, Miyano Shiho immediately became confident and said to Koizumi confidently: "I will give you the list of requirements later, please prepare it for me as soon as possible!"

Koizumi nodded: "Sure, no problem."

The gentleman finally nodded with satisfaction and did not express his dissatisfaction anymore.

Seeing that the conversation between the two people ended, he asked again: "Mello, do you have anything else to report?"

Koizumi deliberately thought about it and answered, "No."

Karasuma Renye was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, that's it."

Eh? That's it?

This is not what she imagined...

Karasuma Renya didn't even ask about the beauty serum or Kyoko?

Even if the person who had problems with the beauty serum has not been sent yet, Karasuma Renya has not received the relevant information?

It is understandable that Miyano Shiho has been slacking off and has not submitted a report.

The information on Japanese sake isn't in place yet?

Or is it that the gentleman's condition is not so urgent and he is still in the wait-and-see stage where he can wait patiently?

This is really a bit unexpected.

Koizumi's mind raced, and he spoke out to stop Karasuma Renya from unilaterally ending the talks.

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

Karasuma Renya reacted quickly and immediately raised his hand to stop his subordinate from ending the call: "...Wait a moment."

Snowflakes flashed on the surveillance screen for a second and then quickly stabilized.

Then, the gentleman said in a tone that implied expectation: "Anything else?"

Koizumi: ...

The reaction is quite quick, it seems like you were mentally prepared?

Ha, so it turns out that you are not unaware, or that you don’t care, but are waiting for me to lose my patience and reveal the information first?

Then I won’t tell you the information you want!

So, Koizumi showed a slightly hesitant expression and asked a question that was completely beyond Karasuma Renya's expectations.

"…Excuse me, has Vermouth contacted you recently?"
