Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

While Instructor Onizuka was discussing life with the contact, Koizumi finally met the owner of the bug, who turned out to be an acquaintance, the one she had gotten rid of on the bus on the day she met the contact.

This person seemed to have made up his mind to come and confront her. He pushed the door open and walked directly to her and handed her a business card: "Hello, I'm Yoshiaki Aburashi, a reporter from the Rice Flower Times."

Koizumi didn't expect him to be so direct and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The "Rice Flower Times" in my memory is a tabloid that specializes in reporting scandals and gossip. Her original self, Sakurai Izumi, once loved reading this newspaper.

"The Rice Flower Times. I've been reading it."

The man immediately showed a surprised expression: "I originally thought that people like Miss Sakurai would not read these things, it seems that I am prejudiced."

Koizumi smiled and said, "No, no. In fact, journalists and police officers do the same thing, which is to expose hypocrisy and pursue the truth. They just express it in a different way. It's still quite interesting."

"I have always believed this, but I didn't expect that Miss Sakurai is a fellow traveler!" Aburashi Yoshiaki was very excited and asked again: "Ms. Sakurai, do you remember any impressive reports?"

Koizumi searched her memory, but to no avail. However, even though she couldn't remember, she could make it up.

Koizumi made a reminiscing expression: "Well, I remember there was an article that exposed the shady securities acquisitions..."

"Insider trading involving borrowed money by Akio Kiritani, a director of a listed company!"

"There was an article about a cabinet member being secretly photographed going to a brothel..."

"《Shocked! He actually showed up in a place like this!》"

"…There's another article saying that the Metropolitan Police Department has set a new record in solving crimes?"

"Haha, it's not a record of solved cases, it's a record of unsolved cases!"

... Damn, I just made it up casually, it's outrageous that you can match it all to the characters!

Koizumi looked at the proud expression on Yoshiaki Aburashi's face and asked in surprise, "Could it be that these reports are..."

"That's right, all three of the articles you mentioned were written by me!" the man said proudly, "Looking at the whole of Tokyo, my news sensitivity is one of the best!"

He was one of the most courageous people, even resorting to unconventional means such as tracking and wiretapping. If he really ran into something shameful, wouldn't he be beaten to death? It was not easy for this man to live safely until today.

Koizumi nodded to Yubashi with a look of satisfaction.

Youqiao obviously misunderstood, and he looked at Koizumi with a look of relief: "I never thought that I, Youqiao, would meet a soulmate today!"

...Don't look at me like that. If you weren't ugly, my fear of men would probably flare up again just from that look.

I am so thankful for being ugly!

"Now, Miss Sakurai, no, Sakurai, do you understand now why I came to you?"

Koizumi: "I already knew that. It's just that he beat up the police inspector for me."

This matter was kept strictly secret by the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department. For almost a week, no news of it had been reported in the media. Koizumi thought he would not get the result he wanted.

Thank God, there are finally some brave and wild guys who come to us on their own initiative.

Moreover, this Aburashi Yoshiaki was able to obtain unconventional equipment such as eavesdropping devices. It seems that he has connections in the underground world.

Maybe he can help me get the things I want?

Yubashi immediately showed an excited expression and gave Koizumi a thumbs up: "If I hadn't accidentally taken a photo of Inspector Nakae later, I wouldn't have believed that this was actually true."

Accidentally? Haha, do you think I believe it?

Inspector Nakae? I haven't heard of this name before. I'm not familiar with it. It seems that he is not an important person.

Yubashi leaned against the counter and leaned slightly towards Koizumi, lowering his voice and saying, "So what is the inside story? Tell me quickly!"

Koizumi took a half step back, leaned against the wall behind him, hugged his chest and looked at him with a half-smile: "...What good can I get from telling you?"

Aburashi Yoshiaki chuckled: "Of course, of course! As long as you can provide information, I, Aburashi, have always been generous!"

He pulled out an envelope from his bag and pushed it in front of Koizumi with a chutzpah: "Take these first, there are more later!"

Koizumi picked it up and took a look. It was a thick stack of Yukichi notes.

She smiled with her eyes curved, holding the envelope and patting it gently in her palm: "Okay, okay. But I have to say this first, this matter is not over yet. If I tell you now, the most I can tell you is what happened before. However, if you can do me a small favor, I promise to let you watch the exclusive full version, guaranteed to be familiar."

Although Aburashi Yoshiaki didn't understand what "保熟" meant, it didn't stop him from understanding. Aburashi stared at Koizumi with his triangular eyes for a long time, and said meaningfully: "It seems that Sakurai, you are aiming for something big."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, while asking vaguely: "What do you want me to do?"

Smoking is prohibited in convenience stores, but Koizumi doesn't care.

She first made a gesture to Youqiao to keep quiet, reached out to take the thermos, took out the towel inside and spread it out on the counter, revealing the bug inside.

Youqiao's movements froze for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.

Two? How can there be two bugs?

Koizumi observed his expression, accurately picked out the one belonging to Yubashi, and then put the other bug back into the thermos in front of him.

She tapped the table with her fingers. "This is yours, isn't it?"

Youqiao looked at the thermos cup and asked tentatively: "What about the other one..."

He looked at Koizumi with suspicion, suspecting that Koizumi had made this thing himself to scare him. After all, this man was once a student at the police academy, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to make a bug.

Koizumi smiled and asked back, "You should have seen him when you were following me that day."

Youqiao thought back to that day, and he did notice someone else peeping at him. But wasn't that old man just a passerby walking in the park?

Koizumi continued under Yubashi's suspicious gaze, "An old man wearing a cheap black suit with wrinkles all over his face, and speaking in a greasy way. Yesterday he came over to chat with me. But his mental state was too poor, so I just cursed at him and he ran away. And then this happened today."

She smiled at Yubashi, "Come to think of it, you also came when Shima-kun was on the day shift. I wonder if you two didn't run into each other."

Koizumi's description matched the image in Yubashi's memory.

This time he really believed it.

When he thought that someone had gotten in touch with Koizumi before him, Youqiao suddenly clenched his fingers and cursed in a low voice: "Baka!"

Oh hoo, it’s done!

Koizumi added another handful of firewood with a smile: "Although this kind of thing is based on first come first served..."

She paused deliberately, and seeing the anxiety and nervousness on Youqiao's face, she continued slowly, "...but it also depends on fate, right?"

"That's absolutely right!" Yubashi echoed loudly, "Sakurai, your choice is absolutely the right one! Let's help each other and make big news!"

He threw away the cigarette that had been crushed out of shape in his hand and said seriously: "Tell me what you need. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely get it for you!"

"fireworks."

"Fireworks?" Youqiao asked in confusion.

Although there are purchase restrictions on this item, it is not difficult to get. Why buy it through him?

"How much do you want?"

Koizumi pushed the envelope he had been playing with back to the room intact: "ALL IN!"

The corner of Youqiao's eye twitched violently, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and asked cautiously: "Could it be the kind of thing that has an unknown origin?"

Could it be that... it's pronounced as fireworks and written as gunpowder? This is going to be a big deal!

"Bingo! You got it right."

The moment he heard the answer, Youqiao was so excited that he trembled. He tried hard to suppress the urge to laugh, and the muscles on his face twisted.

Ah, he smelled the aroma of something big!

------

Kurofuji Kizo only appeared when it was almost dawn.

"Hello, Ms. Sakurai."

Koizumi was sitting behind the counter flipping through a newspaper. He glanced at him and then at the white sky outside the glass door, and said sarcastically, "Could it be that the noise last night was so loud that you fainted and woke up just now?"

Kurofuji Kizo smiled calmly and said, "Hey, young man, you have to be considerate of the old man."

Koizumi curled his lips, ignored him, and continued to draw circles on the newspaper.

Kurofuji Kizo looked at it for a while and asked in confusion, "Are you looking for a lawyer?"

"Yeah." Koizumi responded without even raising his head.

"What do you want a lawyer for?"

Koizumi glanced at him and said, "Of course, you need a lawyer to sue me."

Kurofuji Kizo was puzzled: "Why would you, a person with no money, no house, and only five-digit savings, file a lawsuit? Can you afford the lawyer's fees?"

He rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Are you planning to sue the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Whether it's the Metropolitan Police Department or the Police Academy, I need to get the lawyer's opinion first."

Koizumi threw the pen in his hand onto the counter, raised his head and stared at Kurofuji Kizo with a half-smile: "You have investigated it very clearly, so you are not pretending anymore? Tell me, you followed and bugged me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Kurofuji Kizo was a little stuck, he was still thinking about Koizumi wanting to report to the police station: "Ah, yes... I have a job to ask you."

"Work? You're going to introduce me to a job? What kind of job?"

Kurofuji Kizo had come back to his senses and said according to the routine he was already familiar with: "Of course it's a job that makes a lot of money, easy and simple..."

Before he finished speaking, Koizumi's eyebrows stood up and he shouted, "You old bastard, I knew you were no good! Why don't you just be a brothel owner? If you want to make money from me, I'll beat you to pieces first, believe it or not!"

As she spoke, she picked up the hammer that was still on the counter and prepared to smash it on Kurofuji Kisaburo's head.

Kurofuji Kizo screamed in fear: "No, no! These are all special jobs that require what you learned in the police academy!"

Koizumi was just pretending to scare him, and the hammer only touched his scalp before stopping.

She frowned and said, "I studied in the police academy... Tell me, what job is it?"

Oh my god, what's wrong with this woman? She really scared him! The way this guy gets into trouble when he doesn't agree with her is exactly the same as some people in the organization! He really thought his head was going to explode.

Kurofuji Kisaburo took several steps back in shock, his legs still shaking.

"Work...work is just delivering mail, picking up goods, keeping watch, and watching the place."

"Oh, I see." Koizumi put down the hammer and continued reading the newspaper. "Not interested."

"...Ah?" Kurofuji Kizo was dumbfounded, "But you are not..."

Isn't he an undercover agent sent by the police to infiltrate the organization? What the hell is this?

"Even if I was expelled from the police academy, I had no intention of joining the mafia."

Koizumi looked up, glared at Kurofuji Kizo and said seriously: "I'm a good person! Do you understand? A good person!"

Hei Teng Gui San's eyes rolled and he suddenly understood.

Isn't this a scoundrel undercover agent who is only trying to pave the way for his future return? He needs that kind of compulsion. What is the most irresistible temptation for this kind of people?

Kurofuji Kizo felt that he had found a breakthrough, and said with a smile: "Oh, the old man is doing legitimate business that the police can't interfere with. I am attracted by your status as a police academy student. After all, professionals can do professional things. Alas, I can't even give money to you. Forget it."

As Kurofuji Norizo ​​said this, he turned around and made a move to leave. He heard the woman behind him say, "Wait a minute."

it is as expected.

He smiled sarcastically, then turned around and put on an honest and flattering smile.

"You can ask me to work for you, but you have to do me a favor first. I won't be able to do anything else until this matter is resolved."

As long as a person has weaknesses, he is just a dish in other people's mouths.
