Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

[Written in advance, this is a separate personal extra story, and it is not a coherent plot with the previous 1234. 】

[First of all, let me stack my armor. I am not very good at emotional scenes, and I feel that it is so awkward to write. Throw your mind away before reading. (；?＿?)]

------

The Black Cat Office has been rebuilt.

All the cats that were originally wandering around have returned, the store manager Morobushi has returned, and the store clerks and customers who have been waiting for a long time have also returned.

It seems that this cat cafe has returned to what it should be.

Except for the empty second floor.

The store is still the same store, the cats are still the same cats, and the taste of the food has not changed, but it always feels like something is missing.

It's like, there's no soul.

Time passes, and the seasons change.

I don’t know when a new permanent customer, Miss Baishui, appeared in the store.

However, since the day this person appeared, the peaceful daily life of the cat cafe was like a small stone thrown into the air, gradually causing ripples.

She was a young woman, said to be a published writer. She rented a house nearby, but liked to spend time in the cat cafe every day. She came at noon and left when the shop closed at night. Except for the occasional editor from a publishing house who came to discuss manuscripts with her, this lady came to the shop almost every day to eat, play with cats, and write. She even curled up on the sofa to take a nap. She simply treated the cat cafe as her own study.

Then gradually, the shop assistants discovered that their taciturn and serious store manager Zhufu seemed to treat Miss Baishui a little differently?

Although the two of them had almost no conversation, some people noticed that every time Manager Zhufu looked at Miss Shiramizu, his eyes were always particularly gentle. Moreover, although there was a chef in charge of the kitchen, Miss Shiramizu's two meals a day and even cakes and desserts were made by Manager Zhufu himself?

Ah, this is too obvious, right? But this progress is really a bit worrying!

Manager Zhufu, if you are really interested in Miss Baishui, you have to be more proactive! Just watching silently will not lead to any results!

The gossipy shop assistants had originally agreed to secretly "tell" Miss Shiraishi about the "evil" intentions of the store manager Zhufu towards her. But unexpectedly, when they were all ready, Miss Shiraishi had not come to the store for a whole week for unknown reasons!

In the first three days, everyone was relatively calm. After all, there was an incident before where Miss Baishui didn't come to the store for several days in a row because she was busy with a manuscript.

But after five days, everyone started to feel a little restless.

Although Manager Zhufu seemed to be busy with store affairs as if nothing had happened, the careful staff could still see the occasional disappointment and worry in his eyes.

On the seventh day, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Manager, Miss Baishui hasn't been here for a long time. Could it be that she's sick? We can't leave, so how about you go and visit her on our behalf?"

"Here, this is Miss Baishui's address. I contacted the publishing house to get it!"

"The gifts for visiting the patient are ready. The cake you made yesterday is also packed. Here you go!"

"You are absolutely not allowed to come back alone!"

"Ahem, if possible, it's best to bring back the marriage certificate!"

"Hahaha! Then the store manager, remember to bring your ID as well!"

Just like that, Manager Zhufu was kicked out of the cat cafe by everyone.

Zhu Fujing looked at the things in his hands, and under the watchful eyes of a group of "nosy" shop assistants, he had no choice but to walk away helplessly.

After the undercover work ended, he did not return to the Metropolitan Police Department. He took over the Black Cat Agency again and became an unknown cat cafe manager.

It is said that time is the best medicine to heal wounds.

As the popularity of the Black Organization and the rejuvenating drug gradually faded, and several of Sakurai's friends from the same period deliberately avoided the topic of Sakurai, over the past few years, the memory of Sakurai was gradually covered by the settled dust, and even the man's appearance gradually became a little blurry.

However, Miss Baishui, who had appeared in the store at some point in time, curled up on the sofa and staring out the window in a daze, squinting her eyes and smiling while tasting desserts, those unintentional little movements, bit by bit, were like tiny pieces of a puzzle, which tore open the scar in Zhu Fu Jingguang's heart again and made him feel the pain.

Obviously, Sakurai had already left and returned to where she belonged, going back to her 2023 without hesitation.

I should be happy for her.

It's time to let it go completely...

------

The door opens.

Seeing Zhu Fu Jing Guang standing at the gate, Miss Bai Shui showed a surprised expression: "Hey, Zhu Fu Manager?"

Out of professional habit, Zhu Fujingguang glanced into the room the moment the door opened, and immediately noticed the several cardboard boxes piled in the entrance. However, he quickly retracted his gaze, cast his eyes on the woman's face, and handed the paper bag in his hand to her: "Because you haven't been here for a few days, my clerk is worried that you might be sick, so he sent me as a representative to visit you."

Miss Baishui probably noticed his gaze. Her eyes flickered, but she just pretended not to know and took the paper bag, opened it and took a look.

"It's a cake, thank you." After hesitating for a second, she turned slightly and asked with a smile, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

This reaction...

Did she think she wouldn't accept the invitation?

Zhu Fujingguang nodded: "Okay, sorry to bother you then."

Sure enough, a look of surprise flashed across Miss Baishui's eyes for a moment, but she immediately suppressed the emotion, smiled and made way, allowing Zhu Fu Jingguang to enter.

"excuse me."

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked around the room.

The room is not big and is a bit too simple, with only the minimum daily necessities.

Thinking about the several cardboard boxes piled in the entrance hall, one can't help but think that the owner of the room either just moved in and hasn't had time to clean up, or just packed up and is preparing to leave.

So, which one is she?

A glass of water was placed next to him.

Miss Baishui smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, we don't have any drinks to entertain guests at home."

A pile of manuscripts were spread out messily on the sofa and the coffee table. It was obvious that Miss Baishui was writing here before he arrived.

But the focus is not the pile of manuscript paper, but the few empty Coke cans thrown casually on the floor next to the coffee table.

Moreover, Miss Baishui clearly stood in front of the refrigerator and hesitated for a moment before going to the kitchen to get some water.

Could he guess that there was actually Coke in the refrigerator, but she didn't take it out to treat him in the end?

why?

This thought flashed through his mind instantly, and Zhu Fu Jingguang just nodded slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, this is fine."

Then he noticed that Miss Baishui quickly glanced at his messy coffee table, and there was suddenly a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

nervous?

There was nothing on the table except manuscript paper. What could make her nervous?

"Oh, by the way, I just happen to have something for you." Miss Baishui clapped her hands a little exaggeratedly, dragged over two beautifully wrapped gift boxes and placed them on the coffee table.

"I didn't go to the cat cafe a few days ago because I was invited to attend a writers' seminar in Nagoya. I heard that Nagoya's snacks are very famous, so I bought some and originally planned to take them to the cat cafe. Thank you for your care during this time."

Zhu Fu Jingguang said "Oh", but his eyes fell on the manuscript paper pressed under the gift box: "These should be Miss Bai Shui's handwriting, right? Be careful not to get them dirty."

As he said this, he was about to help her collect the manuscript papers.

However, just as he stretched out his hand, Miss Baishui's pupils suddenly shrank for a moment, and she swept all the manuscripts on the coffee table to the ground before him: "No need! No, it's not important..."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.

Zhu Fu Jingguang:...

He took his hand back and nodded gently: "Sorry, I was abrupt."

Miss Baishui's face flushed a little, and she hurriedly explained: "No, no, I overreacted a little. Sorry, Zhufu...Manager. Uh, these manuscripts...it's not finished yet, it's a mess, it's not convenient for you to see it."

Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded: "I understand. The writing process is always somewhat private."

Miss Baishui bent down to collect the manuscript paper on the ground, saying, "I'm so sorry to have embarrassed you."

"It's okay. Looking at the state of your room, are you planning to move out?"

As he said this, Zhu Fu Jingguang quickly picked up a page of manuscript paper that had fallen at his feet and stuffed it into the paper bag of the gift box that was going to be given to him.

"...Well, yes." Miss Baishui replied without raising her head.

Zhu Fu Jingguang's heart skipped a beat, but he still replied in a calm tone: "Really... Is there any special reason?"

"I've been in Tokyo long enough." Miss Shiramizu stood up, put the pile of manuscripts at her feet, looked up and smiled at Zhufu Jingguang, "Go to other places to see more, expand your horizons, and write more exciting stories."

“…Leaving Tokyo?”

"Yes." She smiled brightly and said in a relaxed tone, "So these two boxes of snacks are my parting gifts to everyone. I will miss you all, and the cute cats in the store."

Zhu Fu Jingguang felt an inexplicable pain in his chest. He was silent for a moment and said slowly: "...Is that so? That's really a pity."

He looked at the empty room and asked, "Where are you going next?"

Miss Baishui sighed softly: "Maybe we'll go to some quiet towns, or maybe other bustling cities, I haven't decided yet."

"...Yeah." Zhu Fujingguang looked down at his watch, then stood up with the two paper bags of snacks. "No matter what, I wish you all the best."

Miss Baishui saw him out the door and responded with a smile: "Yes, thank you."

After going down the stairs and standing at the door of the building, Zhu Fu Jingguang made sure that no one was following or paying attention to him. Then he took out the manuscript paper that he had secretly hidden from the paper bag and looked at it carefully.

[…So, the information about the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency’s related organizations is out of sync.]

[…Look, there’s a member of the organization right in front of you, and he’s a codenamed member! This much intelligence is definitely enough to earn you merits!]

[…Heh, just wait and see. I will make those people in the Metropolitan Police Department send you to me willingly!]

Zhu Fu Jingguang tightly grasped the page of manuscript paper, his eyes widened, and his heartbeat accelerated instantly.

Although that face is completely different from before, but...

Who else could have written this stuff except you?

Sakurai you bastard!

Zhu Fu Jingguang turned around and ran back. Without waiting for the elevator, he simply rushed up the stairs.

"Bang bang bang!"

Miss Baishui opened the door and looked at the person in front of her with surprise: "Manager Zhufu, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang panted and stared at her straight in the eyes: "Where are you going?"

"Eh?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang raised the manuscript in his hand, strode into the room and asked, "Are you planning to leave without saying goodbye again?"

Miss Baishui was forced to retreat back into the room, her face instantly becoming a little panicked: "You, what are you talking about, I don't understand..."

"Stop pretending, Sakurai!" Zhu Fujingguang's chest heaved, staring into her eyes, gritting his teeth and angrily said, "Since you're back, why are you sneaking around like this? Can't you even say hello properly?"

The room was silent for a long time. Koizumi gave up and let out a long sigh, relaxing his body and leaning against the wall. "After all, Sakurai Izumi is dead, and the incident is over. Seeing that you are all living well now, I feel that... I, who left without permission and came back without permission, should not disturb your lives anymore."

"Very good?" Zhu Fu Jingguang gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is this the result you observed?"

Then he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Don't worry about other people first. Shouldn't you listen to my opinion on whether you are living a good life? Shouldn't I be the one to make the judgment on this matter?"

Seeing how emotional he was, Koizumi could only say, "...I'm sorry."

For a moment, the two of them were speechless. They clearly had a lot to say, but they didn't know where to start.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly asked, "Sakurai, does what you said in the video still count?"

Koizumi blinked and looked at him in confusion: "What?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang stared at her and said word by word: "You said it's a pity that it's not me. Does your regret still count?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang involuntarily took a step forward and looked at the person in front of him expectantly: "I can understand that if you were not in a hurry to go back, you would have been willing to accept me?"

Koizumi looked at him in astonishment. He didn't expect that the first topic of conversation for Zhu Fushi Jingguang would be this matter when the two of them just met.

"Now that you're back, can you give me a clear answer?" Zhu Fu Jingguang said quickly, "It's not a restriction or supervision. I can keep the secret and not tell anyone else. No one will keep watching you, just me! Let's turn the cat cafe into a place where you can completely relax and rest, and make it your real home, okay?"

Koizumi: ...

He was dumbfounded and speechless.

After a long while, he stammered, "Zhu, Zhu Fu...you, you calm down..."

"I'm calm!" Zhu Fu Jingguang interrupted her immediately, stepped forward and hugged her tightly, "I just don't want to miss it again! Don't go, Quan, stay, for me..."

------

The young clerks in the cat cafe were shocked to find that Manager Zhufu, who they had sent out to visit customers, had not come to the store for three whole days.

For the store manager Morobushi, who seemed to have grown up in the cat cafe, this was simply unbelievable.

Hey, the store manager, could it be that he did something bad to Miss Baishui and then fled for fear of being punished?

But on the morning of the fourth day, the mystery was finally solved.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhu Fujingguang parked the car in front of the cat cafe, took out a few cardboard boxes from the trunk, and drove briskly to the second floor of the cat cafe. However, he ran back to the passenger seat, opened the car door, and said to the person sitting inside with a smile: "Why, are you embarrassed to go back to your own home?"

Koizumi sat there blankly, turned his head and looked at him: "Wait, wait, isn't this progress a bit too fast?"

"Fast? I think it's a bit too slow."

Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled and saluted to her like a gentleman, and stretched out his hand in front of her: "Come on, Mrs. Zhu Fu, welcome home."

Koizumi's face suddenly turned red, and he hugged his head like an ostrich: "Ahhh, you are forbidden to use the honey trap on me with this face!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled teasingly: "I'm glad you commented on this face."

He turned around and saw that there was no one nearby, so he leaned over to whisper in Koizumi's ear: "What about the body? How many points can it get?"

Koizumi suddenly turned around and stared at him in disbelief: "Zhu Fu Jing Guang! You, you... are so shameless!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang burst into laughter.

When they saw Manager Morobushi and the angry Miss Shiramizu walking into the store hand in hand, everyone was stunned.

Looking at the shop assistants who were surrounding him with gossipy faces, Zhu Fu Jingguang deliberately took out an application form from his pocket with his ring-wearing hand and waved it in front of everyone.

"I'll leave the store's affairs to you. If it's not important, please don't disturb us. Thank you."

When the two figures completely disappeared on the stairs, the group of shop assistants finally woke up from their dream.

Oh shit, this, this is already married?

Holy shit, is Manager Zhu Fu so capable of taking action that he actually captured the guy in just three days?

Damn it...

Wang!
