Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi smiled: "I don't understand."

Akai Shuichi:......

He looked around. Although they were the only ones sitting in the lounge area, it seemed that no one would come to disturb them. They were speaking Japanese...

But this is still a beauty salon after all. Someone may appear at any time, and there may be surveillance cameras nearby, so it cannot be considered safe.

"Are you sure you want to talk about this here?"

Koizumi smiled and spread his hands: "What? I don't understand, Mr. Moroboshi. We just met by chance in London, and then we chatted casually. We are not close enough to go out and chat alone, right?"

Akai Shuichi glanced at Sharon Wynyard who was sitting next to him.

The blonde beauty was holding a ladies' cigarette in an elegant posture, listening with interest but not intending to participate.

Sakurai said she didn't want to chat with me alone, which means she didn't want to, or couldn't, avoid the person next to her.

It seems that Sharon Wynyard is also a code name member of that organization.

Moreover, it is very likely that he is the one who has been disguising himself as Akai Tsuchimura.

If it was her, then the amazing ability of disguise would indeed make sense.

Sakurai didn't shy away from her words, so this person should be a partner who shares the same stance as her.

When did Sakurai come to London? How involved was she in the organization's operations in London?

Tonight, when Sakurai and the other girl just walked into the restaurant, Shuichi Akai noticed them.

Sharon Wynyard's blonde hair and blue eyes instantly reminded Shuichi Akai of the little girl he saw in the cinema.

He suddenly remembered what the child was holding in his arms at that time.

If he guessed correctly, it should be clothes.

She probably originally planned to take all her clothes with her, but she left them behind because the pair of women's boots and the coat were too inconvenient to carry?

Covering shoes with a coat is also to delay the time when others will notice something unusual?

Or maybe the child, the clothes and shoes, and the man in black were all arranged there early in the morning to confuse the police?

...No, that's not right.

Where was the adult who was forced into the cinema by the joint action team?

The one in white clothes is 175cm tall, the one in black clothes is 165cm tall, but the heels of those women's boots are less than ten centimeters.

So the man in white and the man in black are definitely not the same person.

And if the little girl's purpose was to confuse the police? But the only one who was confused was Akai Shuichi.

Other than that, the little girl didn't play any role.

She even tried to take away the props that were "placed" there.

The logic is not sound, the conclusion is wrong, and it is rejected.

and so……

Akai Shuichi felt even more determined.

Although his conclusion seemed like a fairy tale, and although he didn't want to believe it, he couldn't help but believe it!

The fact is: I don’t know what method Sakurai used, but with her help, the injured Sharon Wynyard turned into a little girl and escaped from under everyone’s noses!

Then, not only did she escape, she also seemed to have healed the gunshot wound in her lower abdomen in a short period of time.

That serious gunshot wound, could it be that he has actually healed by now?

It was during those few short minutes in the restaurant that Shuichi Akai sorted out his thoughts and then walked over to greet Koizumi.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for his sudden behavior, his mother Akai Mary would have never discovered that Sakurai Izumi was a member of the organization.

In fact, today, just now, compared to Kudo Shinichi, Akai Shuichi wanted to sneak into Koizumi and her friends' beauty salon more.

He wanted to confirm with his own eyes the gunshot wound in Vermouth's lower abdomen to verify his guess.

After knocking little Kudo down, Shuichi Akai really thought seriously about the possibility of secretly sneaking in and spying.

However, even if the several plans he designed could fool the people in the beauty salon 100%, he was not completely sure that he could fool Sakurai.

There was no way, this person really left too deep an impression on him.

Shuichi Akai felt that he could not cope with Sakurai's meticulous observation ability at all.

After careful consideration, he finally gave up the idea of ​​sneaking in and spying.

Reason told him that if Shuichi Akai wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with Sakurai, it would be better not to do anything that might anger her.

The name "Morohashi Dai" brought the relationship between the two people back to Tokyo.

Shuichi Akai knew that this was Sakurai reminding him that he still owed her a favor.

Shuichi Akai knew that he had no right to make any demands, so he followed Koizumi's instructions and simply started the conversation.

"Instead of letting that clever little guy Kudo Shinichi go and then having him sneak back and cause trouble, it's better to keep this kid under your watch. This is the most effective way to supervise him, I think."

Koizumi raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.

This is indeed what Kudo Shinichi might do!

Although you probably don't have many opportunities to interact with Shuichi Akai, you understand him very well.

"Then what brought him down?"

Akai Hide answered in a second: "He asks too many questions. And if I ignore him, this little guy might sneak into the beauty salon to peek and cause trouble."

Koizumi: ...

Well, there is such a possibility.

As long as Kudo Shinichi is willing to go out and embarrass himself, and relying on the fact that he is just a short elementary school student and has the protection of his parents, no one can do anything to him except scolding him and kicking him out.

And even if he fails socially here, when he returns to Japan, who will know that he has ever done such a shameless thing?

...As long as Koizumi doesn't say anything.

And in order to make her keep silent, isn't this another good excuse to pester her?

To sum up, Kudo Shinichi is very likely to do that.

Because even if it fails, the cost of failure is very small and can be ignored.

Akai Shuichi: "...So, I just used a permanent solution to the problem from the root."

Koizumi smiled and said, "So, I should thank you?"

"If you agree, then use it to offset part of the favor I owe you."

"Sure. Then... just use it as an apology for our initial phone call."

Akai Shuichi: "...Do we have to start from such a long time ago? You really do hold a grudge. And why should I apologize for that? You were the one who was abusing me from the beginning to the end."

Koizumi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I didn't scold you, but you insisted on taking it upon yourself. Who can you blame?"

Akai Shuichi first showed a very speechless expression, and then laughed.

"That's fine. As long as you still acknowledge the debt relationship, it means there is still room for communication between us."

"of course."

Koizumi smiled and spread his hands: "I have always been honest with you. Even though you never believed it."

Akai Shuichi:......

Once again I was speechless.

"Hehe...Okay, time is limited, let's not beat around the bush and get straight to the point."

Koizumi slightly restrained his smile and said, "What is it that you are willing to wait so long and even offend the Kudo family to tell me?"

Shuichi Akai was silent for a moment, his eyes moved around Vermouth, and then returned to Koizumi's face.

"how did you do it?"
