Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

After leaving the neighborhood, they met up with Ken Takagi who had driven over to pick them up. Ken Takagi directly told them a piece of news.

"I have already contacted my boss by phone and told her about the explosion at Fujiwara Yuto's villa."

Furiya Rei and Akai Shuichi both looked at Takagi Ken.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Takagi Ken stopped talking halfway through his sentence, Fūya Rei gave the order: "Takagi, stop the car first."

Ken Takagi obediently parked the car on the side of the road.

Furiya Rei glanced at Akai Shuichi who was sitting in the passenger seat in front of him. He saw that although this guy didn't say anything, he was obviously waiting patiently for Takagi Ken's next words.

Humph, you are still very patient.

So Furuya Rei deliberately did not immediately ask Sakurai about his attitude on the phone, but first checked the nine boxes thrown on the back seat of the car.

Not only did he open the boxes one by one and check the bottles inside, he also opened the bottles to confirm the smell of the liquid inside.

Among them, one box of bottles contained a rich gardenia scent, and another box contained a highly recognizable citrus scent, which vaguely matched the mixed aroma lingering on his body.

It can be confirmed that Fujiwara Yuto did make these "beauty products" in the basement.

Unfortunately, the items were too numerous to steal, and he didn't have anything on him that could hold liquids, so there was no way to take samples.

Moreover, there were four eyes staring at him in front of him, making it impossible for him to make any small movements.

Shuichi Akai remained silent, but he saw all of Furuya Rei's actions and knew exactly what this man was trying to do.

It seems that even within Sakurai and Bourbon's small team, information is not fully shared.

Takagi Ken: …

Lord Moroboshi is like this, and Lord Bourbon is also like this!

Why don't you just tell your boss that you want to cut in line to buy it? Why do you have to steal it?

I don't believe you have no money!

He endured it again and again, and finally said, "Master Bourbon, the beauty serum used by the club for guests is mixed with a variety of ingredients. The most critical part is in Mr. Fujiwara's own hands. You can't use these even if you take them away."

Furiya Rei: "...How did you see that I have a need to use this thing?"

And Ken Takagi, what you wanted to say is not "take" but "steal", right?

Lord Bourbon's voice was cold and his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Ken Takagi shrank his neck in fear.

Zhu Xingda slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

This little brother Sakurai is really interesting. Although he is not very smart, he always has some interesting ideas.

Takagi Ken muttered quietly, "You and Mr. Moroboshi both wanted to steal the samples... If you can't afford it, why don't you just tell the boss? The boss will definitely make concessions for you."

Furuya Rei: “…Huh?!”

Zhu Xingda: ...

The corners of his mouth fell, and he looked at Takagi Ken indifferently: "Mr. Takagi, do you think I have the need to apply this stuff on my face?"

The feeling of oppression in the small carriage became increasingly stronger.

Ken Takagi turned his head to look at this, then that, and then turned his head away in autistic manner.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, you all have no needs, only I do. Even if I use it, it won’t be as good as your faces!

The competition around the boss is too fierce.

Heart plug!

Feeling that he had let out a sigh of relief, Furuya Rei spoke up again, "Besides, Takagi, how can you be sure that the key materials are in Fujiwara Yuto's hands?"

Takagi Ken said glumly, "Mr. Fujiwara said it himself. He will deliver the key parts personally."

"Do you believe what he said? What if there is more than one copy of the key material? There may be spare parts mixed in with the general materials, right?"

"Will not."

Furiya Ling frowned: "Are you sure? Why?"

Takagi Ken suddenly gained confidence and turned to glare at Furuya Rei and Akai Shuichi: "Because the boss said so!"

Humph, it turns out that Lord Mello still favors me the most and only tells me the key information!

What’s the use of having a good-looking face? You still have to stand aside!

Fūya Rei narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sakurai said?

Is this some inside information?

Akai Shuichi also thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Takagi, is this what you talked about with Mello on the phone before you came to pick us up?"

Takagi Ken nodded: "Yes, I told her everything about the situation here."

Furuya Rei: "What about her response? What did she say?"

Takagi Ken: "The boss said, I know."

Jianggu Ling:......

Akai Shuichi:......

Takagi, are you serious?

Although this is indeed what Sakurai would say, are you really answering the question seriously?

There was silence in the car for a moment, and Akai Shuichi withdrew his thoughtful gaze from Takagi Ken: "Bourbon, why don't we exchange the information we just got first."

Furiya Rei's expression was also a little confusing: "...Okay."

"Then, to show my sincerity, I'll go first."

Akai Shuichi suddenly asked, "Takagi, what time is it now? Will our conversation here delay the delivery?"

"will not."

Takagi Ken subconsciously raised his hand, stared at his empty wrist for a moment, then turned to pick up his phone and took a look: "It's only 12: now, there's still a long time before the next delivery, no rush."

Akai Hide nodded: "Okay. Where's your watch? I remember it was a pretty high-end watch."

Takagi Ken touched his wrist and said with some regret: "Yes, but I don't know where it fell. Alas, it's obviously quite expensive."

Akai Shuichi smiled, took something out of his coat pocket and handed it over: "See if this is it?"

Gao Mujian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took it with surprise: "Yes, that's it! That's great, I thought I couldn't find it anymore, thank you!"

As he put the watch on his wrist, he casually asked, "Where did you find this, Mr. Zhuxing?"

Shuichi Akai stared at the expression on Takagi Ken's face: "In the bathroom on the second floor of Mr. Fujiwara's villa, next to the bathtub. Excuse me, Mr. Takagi, why did your watch fall there?"

Takagi Ken: …

The movement of putting on the watch and the joyful expression on his face all froze suddenly.

Jianggu Ling:......

Zhu Xingda's intelligence perfectly confirmed his guess.

This guy Takagi was actually trying to lie to them or hide very important information.

Akai Shuichi turned his head and glanced at Furiya Rei.

Fūya Rei received the signal and said, "Takagi, I heard that you guys always make midnight snacks for Fujiwara Yuto every time you come here? But there are no food packaging boxes or kitchen waste in the kitchen trash can today. I did find a bento in the refrigerator that was made around 5pm this evening.

"I remember you were delivering goods to Santa Felina at around five o'clock, right? This bento looks like something Fujiwara Yuto bought himself, but just left it in the refrigerator and hasn't eaten it yet.

"So, you didn't actually cook for Fujiwara Yuto today, right?"

Ken Takagi swallowed involuntarily and his expression became visibly tense.

Furuya Rei paused for a moment and continued, "It took a total of 36 minutes from the time you entered the Fujiwara family to the time you came out with the stuff. What were you and Fujiwara Yuto doing in there for such a long time?"

Takagi Ken smiled reluctantly, and said calmly, "I, I was reporting the delivery situation to Mr. Fujiwara, especially the fact that the TSE security team caught several intruders last night..."

Then he emphasized again as if to affirm himself: "Oh, and about you, Master Bourbon, joining the delivery team."

After saying that, Takagi Ken carefully glanced at the expressions of Furuya Rei and Akai Shuichi, and when he met their gazes, he immediately shifted his gaze guiltily.

"Ah……"

Fūya Rei sneered, "Takagi, you need to learn more about lying from your boss. The gap between us is too great."

Takagi Ken: …
