Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Shuichi Akai sat in the co-pilot seat of Ken Takagi and temporarily cooperated with her younger brother's actions as requested by Sakurai.

Shuichi Akai hasn't had a good time recently.

It’s too leisurely.

Although Gin took him away from Sakurai, he did not use him as much as last time.

Not only was he not allowed to move with the team, he was also not given any important tasks. It was nothing more than small jobs like fighting and delivering things.

However, according to Shuichi Akai's understanding of the organization's situation during this period, the organization's situation in Tokyo has indeed gradually stabilized, and there is no need for major actions.

Moreover, after the special talent recruitment fair, the organization has produced many talented people, all of whom are the best who stood out at the special talent recruitment fair.

In other words, it was difficult for him to show his usefulness and importance, and it was difficult for him to be taken seriously...

Therefore, Gin's arrangement for him was normal.

It was not until this moment that Shuichi Akai truly realized what it meant to miss that special job fair.

He really missed the best opportunity to get a code name and enter the top of the organization!

The organization's new code name member, Scotland, is his replacement after he left. Bourbon and Kiel are also new members who were given code names under Sakurai's operation.

Also, what Sakurai said about her having the final say in Tokyo now is also true.

Although Sakurai and Gin now nominally each occupy half of Tokyo, Gin actually follows Sakurai's advice or arrangements in many things...

...She was really too successful as an undercover agent.

So when he received a call from Sakurai asking him to assist in the operation, Shuichi Akai agreed without hesitation.

Then he discovered that his partner this time, Mr. Ken Takagi, was obviously a loyal but not smart enough person.

This is very similar to his FBI colleagues...

But, it's a good thing for him.

Because this means there is a loophole to exploit!

He finally had the chance to get some intelligence.

------

"These are the three boxes. They are required to be delivered to Santa Felina at 5pm, 10pm and 4am respectively."

Ken Takagi concealed the identity of Yuto Fujiwara and only told Shuichi Akai his mission requirements.

other side……

It seems that the person who issued the task was not Sakurai.

Akai Shuichi nodded slightly: "Are there any special requirements?"

Takagi Ken: “No.”

Akai Shuichi: "So, what were you originally planning to do?"

Takagi Ken looked at Akai Shuichi in confusion: "Just send it over normally."

Akai Shuichi:......

Seriously, this guy?

A task that could clearly be completed in one go, but he specifically requested that it be delivered at three different times. Didn't he find it strange at all?

Also, look at these three meaningful times.

Five o'clock is still normal, but don't ten o'clock at night and four o'clock in the morning feel like they are trying to deceive people?

For some reason, Shuichi Akai had the feeling that he was discussing the mission with his FBI colleagues.

The clear stupidity in Takagi Ken's eyes is exactly the same as those people...

For a moment, Shuichi Akai didn't know how to react.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and then the conversation became awkward.

Just as Shuichi Akai was looking at Ken Takagi, Ken Takagi was also looking at Shuichi Akai.

He knows this man.

Not only do I know him, I actually know a lot about him.

Last year, Lord Moroboshi came to "apply for a job" from Lord Mello using a very special method.

I heard that he is very good at physical skills and his sniper skills are also very high. He was once spotted by Lord Gin and recruited into his team, but was expelled for unknown reasons a few days later.

Later, this person clearly received the test questions for the TSE special talent recruitment fair, but suddenly gave up and disappeared.

Ken Takagi originally thought that he had offended Gin and was killed, but he didn't expect to appear next to his master Mello again.

Then Lord Mello actually arranged him to be a male waiter in Santa Felina, and now he was called to be his assistant.

A man with such high level of physical sniping skills was arranged to be a gigolo or male waiter in a club?

Well, although Scotland and Bourbon did it for a while...

No, Lord Bourbon is still insisting on it, and I don’t know why?

Uh...for what...ah!

Ken Takagi suddenly felt that he had figured it out.

For what?

For his boss!

These old men all have their eyes on his Lord Melo, and they are competing for the position of "boyfriend"!

Damn it, damn it!

Akai Shuichi:......

This Ken Takagi was acting fine originally, why did his mood suddenly change?

Not only did he look at him strangely, but there was even a hint of hostility in his eyes?

Could it be that you discovered my intention to test you?

...He had just said that this person was not smart enough and was a bit stupid, but he was slapped in the face so quickly.

Oh, how could someone who could be kept by Sakurai and be valued by him be a fool?

The expression on Shuichi Akai's face remained unchanged, but he secretly became more alert.

"Excuse me, what are the contents of these three boxes?"

Takagi Ken frowned: "I don't know."

Akai Shuichi: "Didn't you open it and take a look?"

"The other party didn't tell me that I could open it and take a look."

"But the other party didn't say you can't open it and take a look, right?"

"..."

Seeing that Takagi Kenichi couldn't find any words to refute but still looked disapproving, Akai Shuichi simply took a briefcase and opened it with a "click".

Akai Shuichi:......

You have a password lock but you didn’t set a password?

Takagi Ken: !!!

I wanted to stop it but it was too late.

So he also stretched his neck and took a curious look inside the box.

There are two layers of sponge cloth, with a row of glass bottles filled with colorless transparent liquid in the middle, but there are no labels on the bottles.

Shuichi Akai picked up the bottle and looked at it, then shook it gently and saw that the liquid in the bottle was slightly viscous.

He opened the cork again, fanned the bottle gently with his hand, and smelled a fresh fragrance, very much like the smell of some cosmetics.

After waiting for a while, he did not feel dizzy or nauseous.

The liquid in the bottle is probably non-toxic and harmless.

Akai Shuichi put the bottle back and opened the second box.

There is still a row of glass bottles containing white lotion.

The third box was the same as the previous two, and also contained a liquid that looked like some kind of beauty product.

Thinking about the report he had read in the newspaper before, Shuichi Akai understood.

"Santa Felina was robbed a few days ago, and there was a problem with the beauty products in stock in the store, so we need to prepare a new batch?"

Takagi Ken nodded: "Yes."

"So the person who gave you the stuff is the one who's responsible for preparing the products for the store?"

Takagi Ken nodded again without hesitation: "Yes."

Akai Shuichi's eyes lit up immediately.

He knew that the mission given by Sakurai must contain important information!

The beauty product of Santa Felina is obviously abnormal and needs to be investigated carefully. It would be best if we could get a sample to send for inspection and analysis of the ingredients inside.

The beauty serum that Sakurai gave him last time in London was tested and found to be normal. It was obvious that Sakurai had tricked him.

...Or was it some kind of hint from her? A hint for him to be careful of similar products in the future?

Now, Ken Takagi actually admitted that the person who gave him the delivery task was the maker of this beauty serum!

Even if he is not the creator, he must be someone who knows the secret.

This is very important information!

Akai Shuichi suppressed the heat in his heart and continued with a calm expression and tone: "...Okay, I understand the situation. I will help you complete this mission."

For some reason, Ken Takagi felt a sense of fighting spirit from Moroboshi Dai's words.

...No, this is the task given to him by Lord Mello!

Although Dai Moroboshi was also sent by Lord Mello, he is the first person in charge of the mission!

He needs to work harder and definitely not let this person steal the limelight from him!
