Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"Um, Mr. Amuro, do you know this child?"

Because Yoshiaki Aburashi was also present, Takagi Ken did not call Furuya Rei by his code name.

Fūya Rei nodded.

I do know him, but how do I explain it?

He quickly made up an excuse in his mind to smooth things over, but before he could open his mouth, little Kyoko suddenly spoke with a stern face.

"Didn't they say that no one is allowed to enter or leave here? What's wrong with you three? Takagi-kun, you've failed in your duty."

Her tone was too matter-of-fact, and Takagi Ken subconsciously replied: "I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

Only after I finished speaking did I realize something seemed wrong.

Ken Takagi looked at Kyoko with a strange expression and couldn't say anything else.

Aburashi Yoshiaki silently looked at the child for a while, then tentatively asked, "Um, Master Mello..."

Kyoko was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled triumphantly: "Yes, it's me!"

"…A relative's child?"

Kyoko: ...

He turned his head away with an unhappy look on his face and stopped talking.

Jianggu Ling:......

This naughty kid is pretending to be an adult again.

When she first met her, Kyoko held up Sakurai's ID card and said that it was her own ID. Only after being exposed and criticized did she admit that Sakurai was her aunt.

But you are still a child.

How big is the gap between you and Sakurai? Don't you have any idea?

…But, kids just like to imitate adults.

Compared to Kyoko's daily behavior that is not like that of a child at all, perhaps only her little habit of pretending to be an adult can prove that she is really just a child.

Aburashi Yoshiaki scratched his head and said, "He really is the boss's child. No wonder they look so similar."

He stared at Kyoko for a few more seconds, then turned to ask Takagi Ken, "I haven't heard that your boss is married, how come he has a child?

Koizumi: ...

The corners of her mouth twitched, but she quickly controlled her expression and pretended she didn't hear it.

Takagi Ken: …

He wanted to ask too!

What’s going on with this child?

His boss, his boss...

want to cry.

Furuya Rei next to him: ...

Is Kyoko the child of Izumi Sakurai?

Don't mention it, he had never thought of this possibility.

But compared to the relationship of aunt and niece, judging by the looks of these two people, it seems more reasonable that they are mother and daughter?

but……

child?

That Sakurai?

is it possible?

...Wait, they seemed to have discussed this issue at the hot spring hotel when they sent Kyoko and Xiaoshu away. He even said something nonsense that Kyoko was a clone of Sakurai.

Sakurai's reaction at the time was...

Laughing like crazy.

Based on what he knew about Sakurai, if they guessed correctly, Sakurai shouldn't have reacted that way.

I don’t know whether the organization’s human experiments include such content.

If it includes...

Could it be that Kyoko is really a clone? !

Seeing that Takagi Ken didn't say anything, Ababashi Yoshiaki asked again: "Um, little Kyoko, do you know when your parents will be back?"

"Humph!"

Kyoko crossed her arms and ignored him, instead she said to Takagi Ken: "Hey, Takagi-kun, you know that people are not allowed to come up to the third floor, right?"

Ken Takagi was startled and suddenly woke up from his depressed mood.

He grabbed Aburashi Yoshiaki's arm and dragged him out: "Go, go, go, go quickly! If I lose my job because of this, I will kill you!"

"Hey, wait, don't pull me!

While struggling, Aburashi Yoshiaki turned his head and shouted, "Little Kyoko, when will Sakurai be here? You should know it!"

"Yoshiaki Aburashi! If you don't behave yourself, I'll tie you up and throw concrete into a pillar!"

When he heard that Ken Takagi was really anxious, Yoshiaki Aburashi immediately became obedient and was driven out obediently.

After the two of them left, Furuya Rei was about to chat with Kyoko for a few more words, but Takagi Ken suddenly poked his head in again: "Mr. Amuro, please leave here immediately!"

Aburashi Yoshiaki poked his head in from behind him again: "Kyoko! When Sakurai comes back, tell him that Uncle Aburashi wants to see her!"

Takagi Ken pulled out a gun and put it to his head: "Get out of here!"

Aburashi Yoshiaki quickly retracted his head and said, "I'll get out of here, I'll get out of here right now!"

Then he shouted at the top of his voice outside the door: "Little Kyoko, you must tell her!"

This was definitely not the right time to talk. Fūya Rei hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a business card from his pocket and placed it on the table: "Kyoko, contact me if you have anything."

As soon as he walked out of the room, the door was closed with a bang and locked with a click.

Jianggu Ling:......

He glanced at the door with mixed feelings, and temporarily withdrew under Ken Takagi's fierce gaze.

In the room, Koizumi listened to the footsteps outside the door until they all went away, then he returned to the desk.

She sat back behind her desk and first reviewed the entire process and Furiya Rei's on-the-spot reaction in her mind.

After confirming that there was no problem, he took out his mobile phone and sent an email to Ken Takagi.

【Go to the next step.】

Soon, she received a reply from Ken Takagi.

【receive! 】

Putting away his phone, Koizumi picked up the business card left by Furiya Rei on the table and took a look at it.

[Consultant of Santa Philina Club, Toru Amuro, phone number…]

Koizumi: ...

Consulting consultant?

The consultant standing at the door who specifically welcomes wealthy ladies?

Don't tell me, if you must explain it this way, that's fine.

She casually threw the business card into the drawer of the desk, found a comfortable position for herself, closed her eyes and began to check the images sent back by the surveillance eye through the consciousness connection.

------

After the snowball started rolling on Nae Oyamada's side, the situation within Santa Philina was calm for the time being, but there were already signs of undercurrents.

The most obvious manifestation is that although the store has not been open for regular business, the number of people visiting the store every day has increased.

There were not only rich ladies living nearby, but also some unfamiliar faces.

These people are not in a hurry to leave when they come, and often wander around in and outside the store.

Later, Koizumi simply added a bar on the first floor, added a few more tables and sofas, and moved a simple version of the cat cafe kitchen over to sell drinks and sandwiches.

So those people who came to watch every day became regular customers of the coffee shop, ordering food and drinks and sitting there for most of the day.

This place has almost become a daily check-in destination for the wealthy ladies nearby.

A beauty salon turned into a beauty cafe.

The waiters here are also put to good use. They don't even need to change their uniforms and instantly transform from receptionists into waiters in a beauty cafe.

Taking advantage of this convenience, Morobushi Kagemitsu and Hagiwara Kenji also came more frequently.

Right now, these two people are busy on the first floor.

Keimitsu Morobushi was making coffee at the bar, while Kenji Hagiwara was busy moving between the seats.

Koizumi paid close attention to Hagiwara for a while, and she found that this guy was born with the ability to obtain intelligence!

These rich ladies were completely defenseless against him and were willing to tell him everything.

Some even asked Hagiwara if he would take on some additional service business.

And after being rejected by Hagiwara, these people were not angry at all, but seemed to be even more angry...

With Hagiwara's ability, if he had been asked to go undercover in the organization instead of Morobushi Kagemitsu, his performance would have easily surpassed Rum and Bayonetta!

The appearance of Takagi Ken, Ababashi Yoshiaki and Furuya Reiichi in the hall attracted the attention of Morobushi and Hagiwara, but these two people knew how to read people's expressions and just looked at them a few more times without saying anything more.

Instead, several other waiters who were hired by the store gathered together, whispering and pointing at the three people.

Takagi Ken escorted Aburashi Yoshiaki to the front door and gave him a strong push: "Okay, get out of here. Don't come here if you have nothing to do. If the boss needs something, he will call you."

Taking advantage of the fact that Ken Takagi didn't dare to do anything to him in public, Yoshiaki Yubashi moved closer with a shameless look on his face.

"Hey, brother, brother Gao Mu! Just tell me what time the boss will be here, I really have something urgent to do!"

Takagi Ken frowned: "Don't you have the boss's contact information? If there is anything urgent, just contact her directly."

"Oh, I couldn't get in touch with you, so I came here."

Gao Mujian hesitated for a moment and said, "Then tell me what's going on. I'll help you convey it when the boss comes back."

Youqiao hesitated for a moment and said, "That's fine."

As he said this, he was about to lean over to Ken Takagi's ear.

Takagi Ken took a step back and said, "Tsk, talk nicely, or get out of here."

Yoshiaki Aburashi glanced at the guests who were watching nearby and showed an embarrassed expression.

But seeing that Takagi Ken was completely unwilling to compromise, he could only grit his teeth and try to lower his voice and said, "Brother, I'm here to give money to the boss!"
