Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Nonomura was wandering anxiously downstairs of the Black Cat Detective Agency.

Yoshio Nakae is missing and his cell phone is turned off, but the cat cafe he swore to destroy is still open for business.

After being frightened last night, he didn't actually run far away. Instead, he quietly returned to the nearby area to check the situation.

The fire did not start, and Inspector Nakae disappeared. He waited until dawn but still saw no one. But not long after, the woman named Sakurai Izumi came out of the house, collected the oil drums, and then used a water gun to carefully clean the ground.

Why do we need to clean the ground? What is on the ground?

Could it be... blood?! Inspector Nakae disappeared inexplicably, could he have...

Nonomura was terrified.

No, no, we can’t judge that Zhongjiang is dead yet. Maybe this person is just like me and ran away because of fear.

Nonomura bought a wreath in the name of Police Chief Nakae to celebrate the opening of the business and sent it over. Then he saw the woman with a look of disgust having her wreath dragged away and thrown into the recycling station.

It’s over, it’s all over, Inspector Nakae must be dead!

No, no, no, it is still impossible to judge that Nakae is dead. This only shows that the relationship between the two is really very bad, and Sakurai Izumi, this woman, has a motive to attack Nakae!

Maybe Zhongjiang has already sneaked into the store and is waiting for an opportunity to take action.

However, he did not find anyone in the store. Instead, when he saw the cats, he remembered the green eyes and the horrible and shrill cat cries in the darkness last night. He was so frightened that he could not sit still. He asked the waiter a few questions and escaped from the "devil's cave".

There is none in the store, so Zhong Jiang must have been captured by that woman and locked up in a room on the second floor! It must be!

I have to save him, otherwise the evidence of my crime will be exposed by him!

Nonomura thought in panic, and thought he had made a wise decision with a clear mind, so he decided to wait until the cat cafe closed and then sneak in to rescue people.

----

The moonlight was like water, soaking through the windows of the office on the second floor, and covering the room with a hazy white glow.

Nonomura carefully entered from the small courtyard at the back door of the cat cafe, climbed over the wall and entered the room on the second floor through the window.

The amazing thing was that this time he didn't encounter any cats, and the windows were not locked. The operation went very smoothly, so smoothly that it was a little unbelievable.

The room was empty, and Nonomura called out cautiously, lowering his voice: "Nakae, are you there?"

Not receiving a response, the man began to search through the cabinets and desks in the room.

The black cat hiding in the corner is puzzling.

Wasn't this person here to look for someone? Why didn't he check other rooms instead of searching through boxes and cabinets like he was looking for treasure? Did he suspect that she had chopped up the person and hidden him in the drawer?

Seeing that he was fully focused and had no sense of vigilance at all, Koizumi took the opportunity to sneak to the open door, changed back into human form, and reached out to turn on the light in the room.

The sudden bright light frightened Nonomura so much that he screamed, "Who is it? Turn off the light!"

When his eyes adjusted to the light and he saw Koizumi's face clearly, he screamed again: "Why are you here?"

"It's late at night. It's normal for me to stay at home. It's strange for you, a 'guest', to be here, right?"

"I'm not a thief!"

"Oh. Then could you please move away from my safe?"

Nonomura seemed to realize what he was doing and said subconsciously: "Oh sorry, I'm used to it."

Is this person a fool? Or is it because I am now considered half a member of the organization, so I have also gained an aura of reduced intelligence?

Koizumi felt as if his breath was stuck in his throat, and his original defensive mood dissipated a lot.

Under Nonomura's gaze full of doubt and fear, Koizumi walked into the room and sat on the sofa for guests. "You are visiting me late at night. Do you have a request?"

"of course not!"

"Then may I ask why you came to visit me so late at night and entered through the window without telling me?"

Perhaps because Koizumi did not take coercive measures against him immediately, giving the man the illusion that Koizumi was harmless, Nonomura calmed down a little and said in a tough tone: "Hand over Nakae Yoshio!"

"Yoshio Nakae? Are you talking about Inspector Nakae?" Koizumi asked in confusion, "Although I did hear that he had escaped from his home, he has not been here and I have never seen him."

"You bullshit!"

Nonomura asked loudly, "We came here together to set the fire last night, and now he's missing. You must have taken him away!"

"Arson? Are you planning to burn down my house? Or me too?"

Koizumi calmly asked back, "I woke up this morning and found four oil drums thrown out the back door. The ground in the yard was covered with gasoline. It turned out that you two were responsible."

She sneered and said, "Zhong Jiang is here to take revenge on me? Where is he, and you are the cannon fodder who will fight me to the death?"

"This is what I should ask you!" Nonomura shouted, "Nakae disappeared at your doorstep. What did you do? Did you kill him?"

Koizumi sat calmly, his eyes calm, without any fear on his face: "You said I killed someone, do you have any evidence?"

Nonomura's voice weakened slightly: "He...anyway, he disappeared in front of your house! It's no secret that you have a grudge against him. You are definitely a murder suspect!"

Koizumi sighed helplessly, too lazy to respond to the other party's unreasonable accusations, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, if you think I'm suspicious, then call the police."

"Call the police?"

Nonomura suddenly became panicked, his voice trembled and his eyes wandered.

"That's right, call the police. Regardless of the fact that you two set the fire, let's first deal with the problem of your illegal trespassing."

Koizumi showed the man the recorder in his pocket: "I recorded all the conversation just now. I believe the police will be very interested in what you said."

As she spoke, she quickly dialed Officer Megure's cell phone: "Hello, Officer Megure? I have some clues about Nakae Yoshio, can you come over?"

Koizumi glanced at the pale-faced man opposite him and said, "There is also a man who claims to be Nakae's accomplice. They brought gasoline and planned to set fire to my house."

Feeling the threat from Koizumi, this man who had been acting cowardly and stupid seemed to start to explode.

His body trembled slightly, and he stared at Koizumi with a fierce light in his eyes. He suddenly took out a knife from his pocket and rushed towards Koizumi: "Go to hell!"

Koizumi was prepared. She threw away her cell phone, nimbly dodged Nonomura's attack, grabbed his wrist and knocked him to the ground.

The man's body slammed heavily onto the coffee table, knocking over the ashtray and water cup on it.

The moment he lost the ability to move, Koizumi kicked the knife out of his hand, pinned him to the ground, and shouted into the phone that was still on the line: "Officer Megure, are you still listening? This man suddenly attacked me, please come over quickly."

On the other end of the line, Officer Megure's voice said loudly, "I'll be there right away!"

Nonomura knew that he was completely screwed. He never expected that this woman was so skilled. If he had known earlier, he should have escaped through the window immediately instead of trying to attack her!

At this point, he had completely lost the will to resist and lay on the ground motionless.
