Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"Does your girlfriend want to come too?"

Akai Shuichi:......

Female...what?

You did it on purpose, right?

I don't believe you don't know who she is!

But before he could explain, Akai Mari's voice sounded behind him: "Ms. Sakurai is really good at talking."

There was actually some pleasure in his voice; he was obviously very happy to be praised for his youth.

Shuichi Akai immediately and tactfully swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He was silent, but the little Kudo next to him blinked and said loudly: "No, Sakurai sister, this is Akai aunt!"

Akai Mary gave Kudo Shinichi a cold look and said, "...Oh, it turned out to be the little brat on the beach in Hawaii."

Murderous intent overflowed.

Kudo Shinichi immediately shrank his neck and hid himself behind the back of the chair, not daring to speak.

Koizumi's mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes at him.

The word "Auntie" seemed to be a mockery of her for flattering Akai Mary.

One sentence offends two people.

Kudo Shinichi, you are awesome!

"Pfft!"

Koizumi turned around and saw Vermouth smiling and saying to the waiter, "Please change our seats."

It was as if she wasn't the one who laughed just now.

------

In the end, Koizumi and Vermouth, the Kudo family of three, and the mother and son of the Akai family, a total of seven people sat at the same dining table.

Kudo grabbed a seat next to Koizumi and even pulled his chair closer to her. While everyone was still concentrating on ordering food, he whispered into Koizumi's ear and asked, "Sakurai-sister, why are you in London at this time?"

Koizumi didn't answer, but asked: "Why did you come here suddenly?"

"I'm here to visit 221B Baker Street."

Eh? Oh, by the way, this is London.

Koizumi realized later that the 221 Baker Street mentioned by Kudo should be the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

That's a good reason, but your appearance in London at this time is a big problem...

Koizumi smiled and said, "Is this a trip that has been planned for a long time?"

Kudo Shinichi's eyes flickered a little: "...Yes. That's right, I have wanted to come and visit for a long time."

"Eh~ Really~"

Koizumi said with a long smile: "It turns out that Kudo-chan can lie too."

Kudo Shinichi looked away a little guiltily: "No, no!"

"Hey~ Aren't you really afraid that Uncle Maori would come to your house and beat you up, so you racked your brains to come up with a reasonable excuse and begged your parents to take you and flee abroad overnight?"

Kudo Shinichi immediately shouted unconvinced: "I'm not racking my brains!"

Koizumi nodded with a smile: "Oh, just to refute the point of racking your brains."

Kudo Shinichi's eyes suddenly turned into small dots, and he stammered, "No, no..."

Then, he glared at Koizumi angrily: "It's all because of you! If it weren't for what you said, I wouldn't have considered becoming a policeman, and then I wouldn't have..."

Xiaoquan immediately followed up his words and interrupted, "You won't confess to Xiaolan? So you regret it and don't want Xiaolan to be your girlfriend? You don't like her?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Kudo Shinichi immediately became anxious!

"I like Xiaolan! I have no regrets! I just, just..."

Koizumi giggled and placed a small portable recorder on the table and pressed the stop recording button.

Then, she listened to his explosive speech again in front of Kudo-chan and nodded with satisfaction: "I'm glad you didn't regret it. Anyway, for Ran-chan's future happiness, please work hard to become a police officer."

Little Kudo, who successfully fell into the pit again, was stunned.

Sitting on the other side of Kudo Shinichi, Kudo Yukiko covered her mouth with her hands and smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Actually, I have always liked Xiaolan. Hehe, since it is the decision of the two children themselves, Eri can't say anything. Anyway, well done, Sakurai!"

Koizumi: ...

Later she realized that she seemed to have betrayed Kisaki Eri.

Well, it shouldn’t be considered a scam, right?

Anyway, even without her intervention, Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran are still the official couple of this world.

Sister Eri won’t blame her for meddling in other people’s business…right?

cough……

Koizumi was playing with the child, but he could actually be aware of the gaze coming from across the table.

Although Shuichi Akai was greeting Kudo Yusaku, his eyes were still vaguely observing her.

Akai Mary was more direct. That strange gaze was always on her and Vermouth next to her, and never moved away.

Perhaps Shuichi Akai guessed something and told her his speculation?

If this is true, then Shuichi Akai's brain is more flexible than she thought, and he is also very capable of accepting new things.

All I can say is that Koizumi guessed right.

After the joint operation of the FBI, MI6 and London police was finally declared a failure, Shuichi Akai told Mary Akai about his experience in the cinema and some of his reasoning.

Based on the size of the white women's windbreaker and black women's boots brought back by Shuichi Akai, it can be inferred that the person they are tracking should be a woman about 1.75 meters tall.

Judging from the height alone, this does not match the person who escaped from the cinema and diverted the police's attention.

Shuichi Akai compared this pair of women's boots with the footprints left by the previous person when he escaped. The pattern on the soles was wrong and the size was also different.

The person who diverted the police's attention was also a woman, but she was only about 1.65 meters tall.

Judging from the incredible agility and high mobility displayed by this person, it really looks like the characteristics of the Merlot wine in Shuichi's mouth.

But isn't Mello a codename member of the organization in the Neon Tokyo district?

Why did it suddenly appear in London?

Shuichi had just shared his analysis and reasoning with her, but just one night later, Merlot suddenly appeared on the streets of London.

This is simply a mockery!

...No wonder Shuichi got so upset when he first received a call from this woman. It was really hard not to be angry.

Then, the woman who walked with Mello...

Mary Akai silently looked at Vermouth who was sitting on the other side of Koizumi.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, about 1.75 meters tall.

The features match perfectly.

But this person looked normal both physically and mentally, and did not look like someone who had just suffered a serious gunshot wound.

So, this person was also released by the organization as a decoy to confuse their vision?

As for what Shuichi said, it might be that the adults turned into children and ran away...

It was really unexpected that such words that went against the scientific worldview came from the mouth of her eldest son who had always been very rational and calm.

This is definitely...

Your brain is broken!

Is it because I have been too tired during this period and have pushed him too hard?

So, in order to clear Shuichi Akai's mind, Mary Akai used conventional physical therapy and beat him up.

On the other side, Kudo, who was cheated again and was very angry, saw that Koizumi simply ignored him and talked to Kudo Yukiko instead of him, so he simply shifted his attention elsewhere.

He was also curious about another question.

At the end of last year, when Akai brother came to visit his house, didn’t he say that he was going to Tokyo for work? How come he suddenly came to London?

Kudo Shinichi's eyes fell on Akai Shuichi's face, and then he was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, hey, Akai-nii-nii!"

Little Kudo waved his hand, interrupting Akai Shuichi and Kudo Yusaku's behavior of chatting in circles and testing each other.

Akai Shuichi turned his head and looked over: "What's the matter, boy?"

Kudo Shinichi looked at him, pointed at his eye sockets and asked, "Are you going back to the circus to be a clown again?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who knew the origin of the name "clown" fell silent.

The expressions of the Kudo couple were a little subtle.

As experienced adults, they certainly knew that the bruise on Akai Shuichi's eye socket was not grease paint, but real bruises.

Thinking about how Shuichi Akai looked when the two families first met on the beach in Hawaii, and then looking at Mary Akai who had a very grumpy face next to him, it is not difficult to guess that Shuichi Akai must have been punished by his grumpy mother again.

So Shinichi, isn't it a bit tactless for you to say this now?

Alas, my emotional intelligence is really worrying...

Akai Mary snorted coldly and did not respond to Kudo Shinichi's "taunting". She withdrew her gaze from Koizumi and Vermouth and said to Akai Shuichi: "In my opinion, to be able to come to such a conclusion, it seems that your reasoning ability has degenerated to the level of this brat."

reasoning?!

Kudo Shinichi immediately sat up straight, his eyes shining as he stared at the two people.

Akai Hideichi glanced at Koizumi, then looked at Vermouth who seemed to be unconcerned about their conversation, and replied in a light tone: "Really."

Although Akai Mari didn't believe his reasoning at all, but...

Although it is really a fantasy for an adult to turn into a child, this is the answer he got after eliminating all the impossibilities.

Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how implausible, is the truth.

Akai Shuichi was thinking about how to test Koizumi's attitude when he saw him grinning and saying, "I agree with what Kudo-chan said. This really makes you look like a clown."

Akai Shuichi:! ! !
