Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"Why would they have a wine cabinet behind the bar if they don't serve alcohol? That's a scam, really."

Jinpei Matsuda complained while holding a drink.

Yi Dahang laughed and said, "This is not a restaurant after all, and there are so many cats. Wouldn't it be bad if someone fed the cats alcohol?"

Matsuda Jinpei was even more upset: "Who on earth suggested coming to a place like this for a social gathering?"

Furugaya Rei, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him and said, "It was my suggestion. What, is there a problem?"

"All the girls' attention is attracted by cats. What's the point of this kind of social gathering?"

Furiya Rei taunted, "Don't worry, as long as you perform better than a cat, someone will pay attention to you."

Date Kou laughed out loud: "And I also met Instructor Onitsuka, and solved the problem that you, Matsuda, have been thinking about. Isn't that great?"

Matsuda Jinpei snorted and said stubbornly, "It doesn't matter whether we meet or not, right? If the foreigner has made a decision, he will tell us when he returns to the police academy. It's just a matter of time."

Furiya Rei stuffed a bite of snack into his mouth: "Maybe."

The fact is, after the conversation at the obstacle course that day, he had long guessed that Onitsuka would want to verify his words, so he would definitely take advantage of the opening of Sakurai's new store to come here.

One of the reasons why Rei Furuya persuaded Kenji Hagiwara to set the location of the party here was to confirm Instructor Onizuka's thoughts and to give him a push when he hesitated, to ensure that the goal could be successfully achieved in the end.

The second purpose is to see Sakurai Izumi’s Black Cat Office with my own eyes.

As a result, the scene before him was even more exaggerated than he had imagined.

What he said to Instructor Onitsuka about Sakurai training cats to assist in his undercover work was actually exaggerated. But surprisingly, the most exaggerated part of his speculation now seems to be true. The cats in the store who are a little too smart are proof of this.

He has been observing since he entered the store. There are more than 20 cats in the store, and four of them are the most unique.

There is no need to mention the black cat. There is also a tabby cat that is extremely agile and alert, and a cow cat that can actually do arithmetic. Although they don't look as human-like as the black cat, they are obviously specially trained cats.

It’s a pity that I didn’t meet Officer Maori today, otherwise I could ask him directly whether these two were still among those that Sakurai brought to perform before.

As for the fourth special cat, Fūya Rei looked at it for a long time and set his sights on the largest orange cat in the store.

Although the cat behaved very ordinary, Rei Furiya noticed the attitude of other cats towards the big orange cat.

This big orange cat seems to be the boss of all the cats in the store. No other cat dares to grab the cat bed it chooses, and no other cat will compete with it for the food it likes, and all cats actively avoid it.

Furiya Rei's thoughts couldn't help but wander.

The black cat is the manager, the tabby cat and the cow cat are the field staff, and the big orange cat is the office staff, responsible for managing the other cats in the cat cafe who have not yet completed training?

...Then isn't this another Cat Police Academy?

Could it be that Sakurai Izumi wanted Black Cat to go to the police academy to learn from others so that he could come back and help train other students in the same way?

As he thought about it, Rei Furuya amused himself. What on earth was he thinking about? How could he demonize this woman without realizing it?

The friends next to him don’t have such a bizarre train of thought as Rei Furuya.

Matsuda Jinpei looked at Date Kou who was eating happily beside him and said, "Why do you want to attend the social gathering when you have a girlfriend?"

"Didn't Hagiwara tell you that I'm just here to make up the numbers? By the way, why hasn't this guy arrived yet?"

The girl sitting opposite put down the cat toy, looked up and asked, "Hey, Ida, you already have a girlfriend, I understand!"

Another girl asked: "What about Matsuda, is there any..."

Matsuda Jinpei's face immediately darkened, and he gave the other party an impatient look: "Huh?!"

"Oh, no. I understand..."

Furuya Rei held up the store's signature snack and said to Morobushi Keimitsu who was sitting next to him, "Hey, Kei! This side dish is delicious!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled and said, "I can do this too. I'll teach you next time."

The girl with a ponytail sitting opposite immediately said, "I don't mind that you can't cook, Furuya."

Matsuda Jinpei took the opportunity to mock him: "Forget it, this guy is only interested in female doctors who are older than him."

The girl with the ponytail immediately yelled angrily, "Hey Matsuda, if you keep being so rude, I'll arrest you!"

Matsuda Jinpei laughed and said, "Wow, this joke is funny!"

Everyone at the table was amused by his antics.

Koizumi lay on the high platform and looked coldly at the group of people below.

She seemed to have seen this scene many times before, and even the dialogue was exactly the same as she remembered.

The only difference was that this social event was originally supposed to take place in a small restaurant, but was unexpectedly moved to her store.

Although her arrival triggered some butterfly effects, will the plot still be forced to happen? If the plot is really unchangeable, can the lives of Hagiwara, Matsuda, Morobushi and Date Kou, the four people who are bound to die, really be saved?

Koizumi continued to wait and see what would happen next. Then it was Hagiwara Kenji's turn to appear, and he would say...

Hagiwara Kenji came in from the entrance and said to everyone with a smile, "Sorry, sorry, I'm late. Oh, when I was coming here, I passed a very long staircase and an old lady couldn't walk anymore, so I carried her up. But then she said that the lucky lot she drew from the shrine was lost, so I took her to the shrine to draw a new lucky lot, which is why it took so long."

Exactly the same...

According to the plot, Matsuda and Hagiwara will receive an invitation to join the Metropolitan Police Department's Mobile Team, and then there will be an incident where they drive over the overpass to save people, and then the criminal who killed Morobushi Keimitsu's parents will be arrested. Then, they will graduate.

The year the five graduated, Kenji Hagiwara died in an explosion...

The more Koizumi thought about it, the heavier her mood became. She felt as if there was a time bomb in her head that was counting down. Time was running out, and she couldn't change the forced plot, so what should she do?

"Let's go sing karaoke next!"

Koizumi swung his tail irritably.

Go, go, go, go quickly, get out of my sight right now! What happens next has nothing to do with you, don't get involved without my permission.

Koizumi stared intently at a young man sitting in the store.

This man came after Hagiwara, wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down low. After sitting down, he kept looking around nervously, and whenever a cat approached, he showed a resistant expression and quickly waved his hands to drive the cat away.

This doesn't seem like a normal guest at all.

The man fidgeted for a while, then stood up and walked around the cat cafe, pretending to study the decoration style, but he ran to the corner specifically, as if he was looking for something. After searching in vain, he hesitated for a moment and walked towards the nearest waiter.

Koizumi immediately jumped down from the platform and quietly moved behind the man to listen carefully to their conversation.
