Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

July 7, 3:7 a.m., parking lot of Sakurai Building.

Matsuda Jinpei handed the black briefcase in his hand to Nekozuka: "Nekozuka, you should have heard about this from your boss, right? This thing is hidden in the bodyguard car we are going to drive today."

Hagiwara Kenji next to him added, "It would be best if it is a location that won't be discovered by those three kids, but is also convenient for Jinpei and I to get to at any time. Please."

Nekozuka nodded and answered simply, "Yes."

After arranging the box, the two followed Nekozuka around to the main entrance of the Sakurai Building, preparing to go to the meeting room where today's tour would gather.

When he walked to the door of the building, Jinpei Matsuda's attention seemed to be attracted by something.

He suddenly stopped and pointed at a certain spot in the air and said, "Nekozuka, what do you think this is?"

Nekozuka turned his head and looked expressionlessly at the place where Matsuda Jinpei was pointing. There was nothing there except air.

Before Nekatsuka could respond, Hagiwara Kenji spoke up and said, "It's Fuchen!"

As he said this, he pulled Matsuda and gave him a warning glare: "I'm telling you, just take a look at it yourself and stop telling this joke!

"Sorry, Nekozuka, this guy is a little too excited today. To be honest, because we were so excited about today's event, both of us didn't sleep well last night."

Matsuda Jinpei sneered, "I can't sleep because I'm too excited. You can't sleep because you finally met your girlfriend, right?"

Hagiwara Kenji was so angry that he said in a low voice: "Hey, stop saying such things, that person..."

He originally wanted to say, "That person (Japanese sake) is not around, so there's no need to act," but halfway through his words he saw Jinpei Matsuda winking at him.

Hagiwara Kenji's mind raced, and the next words he spoke became: "...that person doesn't like to be so high-profile."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction indicated by Matsuda Jinpei and found a strange man standing not far from them.

Now is the time when office workers rush to work.

Among the people hurrying along the street, this guy wearing a baseball cap, standing on the side of the road with his head down and doing nothing stands out particularly.

Perhaps he felt the gaze directed at him, the man looked towards them.

A strange face, with inquiry and vigilance in the eyes.

Suddenly meeting the gazes of Matsuda and Hagiwara, the man was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked away as if nothing had happened, lowered his head, held down the brim of his hat with his hand and left quickly.

Kenji Hagiwara frowned, feeling a little annoyed.

Could it be that he is the one who is going to buy sake again?

Ever since this guy got involved with him, there has been a constant stream of people following him.

I thought I would have a quiet day with the group activities at TSE today, but I didn’t expect…

It’s really haunting!

Matsuda Jinpei looked away and casually continued what Hagiwara said, "If it were you, you'd better publicize this matter in a high-profile manner, so as to seal the relationship and make it a done deal."

The Nekozuka in front suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Matsuda with a bad look.

Matsuda Jinpei:......

He just made a joke!

But under Nekozuka's death gaze, Matsuda Jinpei was forced to admit his mistake.

"I'm sorry, I said that out of turn. I definitely didn't mean to disrespect your boss."

I have to admit defeat...

If he offended Nekozuka now, not only would today's plan be completely ruined, this guy would really pin him to the ground and beat him up in public!

Hagiwara Kenji burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, finally someone can fix your mouth!"

As he talked and laughed, he glanced around casually.

Since it is certain that there are people around him who are monitoring him, there must be more than just the one just now.

Tsk, he needs to be more alert.

If Zhen Ping hadn't reminded him just now, he might have been exposed by now.

If that cowardly guy Kishida Fumino realizes that he has been exposed, he will definitely run away immediately.

Not only would all previous hard work be wasted, but it would also inevitably bring huge trouble to Sakurai.

Only this point is absolutely not acceptable!

At this moment, a high-end private car stopped steadily on the side of the road.

Suzuki Sonoko jumped out of the car and greeted them energetically: "Officer Hagiwara, Officer Matsuda, Uncle Nekozuka, good morning! Xiaolan, good morning Uncle Mori!"

"Good morning, Sonoko!"

Mao Lilan ran to Sonoko and said, "Officer Hagiwara, Officer Matsuda, and Uncle Nekozuka, good morning. I'm counting on your care today."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Kogoro Mori, who brought his child over, simply said hello to everyone and prepared to leave.

"By the way, Uncle Nekozuka, I remember there's a fan meeting on today's schedule, right?"

"Yes."

"I remember the Earth Ladies' fan meeting was today, could it be..."

"Yes, it's the security for the Earth Ladies fan meeting."

"Wow, Shinichi guessed it right."

Kogoro Mouri, who had already walked some distance away, suddenly teleported back behind Ran Mouri and coughed lightly in a reserved manner.

"It's better to have a reliable adult accompany you when participating in this kind of event. Moreover, as a former criminal police and current detective, I, Maori Kogoro, still have a lot to learn from your company. So, I request to participate in today's event as Xiaolan's guardian."

Nekozuka replied expressionlessly: "I have not signed a contract and will not accept temporary assignments."

"That's right, Dad. Didn't you say there was a very important event today? You should go back quickly and don't waste time."

"No, no, no, that's not the case! Nekozuka, I'm your boss's senior! Call her right now and ask..."

Without saying anything, Mao Zuka picked up the intercom...

"Team one, come out and deal with the troublemakers."

"Don't be like this, my Earth Ladies Team! My Miss Okino Yoko!"

Matsuda Jinpei:......

Hagiwara Kenji: …

Even when Sakurai was seriously injured and hospitalized, this senior Maori behaved very calmly and powerfully.

But the one in front of me now has become an absolute funny guy.

What a confusing man...

Seeing that Nekozuka was entangled and had no time to pay attention to him, Matsuda Jinpei reached out to adjust his sunglasses and said to the two girls beside him: "Let's go, it's almost time to go in."

Hagiwara Kenji followed him and whispered in his ear, "You're so lucky, Jinpei."

"Humph, if it weren't for the serious things I have to do today..."

"I understand, I understand, hehehe..."

Following the receptionist's guidance into the conference room, the four people discovered that the Kudo family's father and son were already waiting there.

Yusaku Kudo was reading a newspaper, while little Kudo Shinichi was staring at the clock on the wall and pacing restlessly.

As soon as he saw them coming in, Kudo complained in dissatisfaction: "You are so slow!"

Kudo Yusaku put down the newspaper, nodded to Matsuda and Hagiwara, and said helplessly: "You can't blame others, it's you who came too early."

"Hey, Shinichi, when did you arrive?"

"Seven o'clock."

"Huh? An entire hour early? Kudo-san, you weren't so excited that you didn't sleep all night, were you? Are you an elementary school student?"

"…I am an elementary school student! Aren't you one too?!"

Ignoring the three noisy children over there, Kudo Yusaku handed over an itinerary sheet.

"Here is today's schedule. Officers Hagiwara and Matsuda, would you like to take a look?"

"Okay, thank you."

At a glance, both of them looked at the same itinerary.

[17:00, delivery mission to Santa Felina Beauty Salon. ]

This is it!
