Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

A faint light shines through the gap in the curtains, and it is morning again.

The black cat opened its eyes and stared for a while at the person who was still sleeping soundly next to it.

After the party last night, Koizumi was worried about having nightmares again, so he planned to take out the videotapes of movies and TV series and watch them all night, but was stopped by Zhufu Jingguang.

"Hei-chan, it's time to rest."

Koizumi understood just this one sentence.

If she could sleep normally, Koizumi would not like to stay up late or pull all-nighters. Moreover, her current condition really requires her to have a good rest and adjust.

So Koizumi followed him to Morobushi Keimitsu's room.

Zhu Fu Jingguang originally planned to sleep with the cat in his arms, but the black cat slipped out of his hands and lay down beside the pillow.

She just needed the scent of Zhu Fu Jingguang, she didn't need a hug.

Zhu Fu didn't say anything, he just moved the pillow to the side to make more space for her.

The black cat stretched, jumped off the bed slowly, opened the crack in the door and quietly slipped out. After going down the stairs, he turned back into Koizumi and poured himself a glass of water.

Seeing her appear, Daju jumped down from the cat climbing frame and ran over to greet her.

Koizumi stroked the cat for a while and then picked up a bag of snacks for it.

It's really strange to say, this Zhufu brand aromatherapy really has a miraculous effect on her, allowing her to sleep soundly all night. Not to mention nightmares, she didn't even have an ordinary dream, and slept until dawn.

Koizumi guessed that it wasn't just Zhufu Jingguang. Chocolate aromatherapy, motor oil aromatherapy, dog aromatherapy and pine and cypress aromatherapy might also have the same effect. She probably just lacked a sense of security and needed the company of someone she knew.

However, there is no need to verify these things one by one. Once the anxiety is relieved, the clingy problem should disappear.

Koizumi paused with his hand holding the cup.

According to this logic, maybe gin aromatherapy would also be useful?

...It doesn't matter whether it's useful or not.

In addition, Koizumi originally planned to cancel the date with Hagiwara, but that guy refused to do so, saying that since Koizumi agreed, he must make the date, even if it was not for the purpose of organizing an undercover operation!

Koizumi really couldn't think of any reason why Hagiwara insisted, but thinking that this was an invitation from a world-leading figure after all, there might be some unexpected gains, so she agreed.

The date was set for this weekend, three days later.

As for the matter of Kenichiro Nozu from Gin...

As usual, let her cat minions investigate first.

By the way, those two guys, Ares and the Sheriff, should have had enough of their quarrel, right?

[Boss, you summoned me here today for a mission, right?]

[Hey, why is it Ares again?]

[I was just about to say, why is it you again! ]

Oh my god, they're still arguing?

Koizumi hurriedly interrupted the two cats: "Shh, keep your voice down! There is indeed a mission."

The two that were originally a little angry immediately stopped barking, and all turned their heads and came over with their ears perked up.

【Task! 】

【What mission! 】

As soon as Koizumi assigned the task of monitoring Kenichiro Nozu, the relationship between the tabby cat and the cow cat immediately became harmonious.

[Sheriff, you are responsible for formulating the battle plan. I will go and organize the brothers who are on vacation. I haven't worked for too long, and I am distracted.]

[Okay. By the way, bring back Heijiang as well. We need his help in this operation.]

[No problem, leave it to me.]

[…Is it really okay? You just pissed off Hei-chan yesterday, so it won’t be easy to find him.]

The tabby cat hooked its tail around Koizumi's calf and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, the boss is here."

Cow Cat nodded: [That's right. Anyway, it will take time for you to gather your subordinates, so just look for them. If you really can't find them, ask the boss to help you recall them. You can arrange a few reliable subordinates to follow me and check out the marked places first.]

[Okay, no problem! I'll go gather some people first.]

Koizumi: ...

Well, the reason these two are quarreling endlessly is because they are too bored.

There were footsteps on the stairs.

Koizumi smiled at Zhufu Jingguang and said, "Sorry, did I wake you up?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang watched the two cats hurriedly leave along the cat tunnel and asked in confusion, "Are they fighting again? These two little guys have been a little irritable lately."

"It's not a quarrel. I just gave them a task and they are a little excited."

"What about Nozu Kenichiro?"

"Correct."

"Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Not for now. Just leave the preliminary investigation work to them."

Zhu Fujingguang smiled and shook his head: "If they were more capable, I would be out of work."

"Oh, it would be great if I could really make you unemployed. It would be even better if I could make Furuya unemployed too. It's better not to do this kind of work."

"Hehe. How did you rest last night?"

"It's unexpectedly good, thank you. So I'm afraid I'll bother you during this period of time."

Zhu Fu Jingguang said nonchalantly, "Actually, I've always wanted to experience the feeling of sleeping with a cat, so it's better to say that you fulfilled a small wish of mine. Do you want something to eat in the morning?"

What beautiful stairs indeed.

Koizumi smiled and changed the subject: "It's all right. But I plan to go out for some exercise and come back to eat, is that okay? It won't take too long, maybe an hour or so."

"OK, no problem."

Go for a morning run, enjoy a delicious breakfast, pet the cat, read the newspaper, send greeting emails to friends I haven't contacted for a long time, check the news on the dark web, look forward to the delicious food at noon, and plan to continue doing nothing in the afternoon, petting the cat, reading novels, and waiting for the evening feeding.

What a wonderful vacation plan!

Of course, that’s where the plan stops.

If she really wanted to have a good vacation, the only way was to go to her villa in the far suburbs, away from the crowds and gossip, otherwise she would be unable to avoid them.

Mr. Maejima, a diligent and hardworking worker in her cat cafe, very unskillfully stuffed a note into Koizumi's hand and then walked away silently.

Koizumi was confused for a while, until he saw the contents of the note clearly, then he remembered...

Oh, by the way, Mr. Maejima is the salted fish contact person that the public security department placed in her cat cafe.

Looking at Maejima-kun's expression, Koizumi even wondered if he had forgotten that he was originally a public security officer.

Koizumi unfolded the note, which read: [Please come to the National Police Agency for an interview at 2:00 p.m. today.]

Oh? I didn't expect that.

Before her date with Kenji Hagiwara, she actually received a meeting request from the public security department.

And he actually asked her to go directly to the police station!

Could it be that the "highest commander" was preparing to meet her in person?

Koizumi took out his cell phone and took a look, but no email was received.

But why not just email her directly, instead of using the contact to notify her?

By the way, ever since the "highest commander" ordered her to hand over the management of TSE, there has been no news.

Koizumi originally really thought that she had lost her credibility and was completely blacklisted by the public security department.

So why this meeting?

Could it be that the police found some clues and confirmed that she was the one who fueled the TEE incident and were preparing to hold her responsible for the deaths of the nine undercover agents?

If she really goes to the police station this time, will she be able to get out?

So is she still going?

Koizumi was holding the note in a daze when he saw Furuya Rei coming.

He scanned the entire room, and after determining Koizumi's position, he first greeted Morobushi Keimitsu, then walked over and sat down next to her.

Koizumi asked silently with his eyes.

Something?

Fūya Rei didn't say anything and just handed over his own phone.

[Make sure that Izumi Sakurai comes to the National Police Agency for an interview at 2pm.]

Koizumi: ...

Ouch, is this considered an armed escort?
