In the temporary detention room, Sakurai sat against the wall, listening carefully to the noise coming from the headphones.

When she heard what Ida Hang said, she curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled.

Unfortunately, Inspector Megure’s wishful thinking is about to fail.

She is not as smart as Koizumi and does not have her brainpower.

Closing his eyes, Sakurai let his consciousness leave the puppet and return to the system space.

In the light curtain, Koizumi was in a safe house, preparing more essential oils with Fujiwara Yuto, and also made a few extra strong versions with particularly outstanding effects.

Noticing Sakurai's hint, Koizumi also returned to the system space to exchange information with Sakurai.

"Matsumoto Kiyonaga understands your intention and agrees to let me stay in the detention room for a while. Date Kou will be responsible for helping to take care of me.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect the conditions in the police station’s detention room to be so good. It’s spacious, well-equipped, and has a separate bathroom, just like a hotel.

"I'm worried that if I keep my body still, it will attract unnecessary attention, so I will have to put a lot of energy into operating the puppet, and I won't be able to keep an eye on your situation."

"Okay, no problem. Sister Bei, sake has been killed."

Sakurai was surprised: "So fast?"

"Yes. After all, Morobushi has handed over the information. We need to prevent the Metropolitan Police Department from causing trouble for Sister Bei, and Santa Felina needs her to control the overall situation."

"As for the real one who was sent to the experimental base, Gin has already sent him and the videotape I shot to Miyano Shiho."

Sakurai suddenly perked up: "And then?"

"Gin just told me that the person was extremely excited when communicating with him. Obviously, he must have seen the current state of sake and the content of the video."

Koizumi sneered: "Just like Chianti, this man is dead."

Sakurai raised an eyebrow: "We sent the person to the base last night, and this morning Karasuma Renya already had feedback? That's pretty fast."

"Isn't it?"

Koizumi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It seems that my last complaint was useful. Shirley must have been scolded by that person because of her unsatisfactory work status.

"Oh, by the way, Gin also said that he saw Kiel at the experimental base."

"Eh?"

Sakurai was stunned: "Miyano Akemi?"

"Yeah. Vodka asked around and it was said that it was because Gil received a task personally sent by that gentleman, asking her to take care of Shirley 'by the way' in addition to her job."

Sakurai frowned: "When did this happen? Miyano Akemi never seemed to mention it to you?"

Koizumi pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled nonchalantly: "It happened about a week ago.

“You’re right. I never received any notification from Kiel from beginning to end, and she never mentioned a word to me.

"If Gin hadn't frightened her this time, she would have been pretending to be dumb. Gin said that Gil wanted to explain to him why she appeared in the base, but Gin ignored her and told her to get out."

Sakurai: …

This is actually betrayal...

She looked at Koizumi with a little worry, not knowing how to comfort her.

Koizumi waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I have been mentally prepared since the sisters reunited.

"If she wants to be a full-time nanny, then let her do it. It's her own choice."

Even so, Koizumi still had a slightly disappointed expression on his face: "...I'm just a little disappointed.

“When she made her choice, she didn’t say a single word to me, not even a phone call or an email.

"Alas, now I can't mock Gin for not having good taste in people."

Sakurai: …

Koizumi took a deep breath and said, "After meeting Gin at the experimental base, she called me once, but I refused.

"Given her intelligence, she must have determined my attitude, so she didn't try to explain it to me later."

Koizumi subconsciously made a gesture of touching his pocket.

Sakurai knew that the action was Koizumi touching the phone.

Although he said that he didn't care, he must still care about it to some extent in his heart.

Sakurai saw this and felt a little sad, but still said nothing.

So fine.

People will eventually choose to be true to themselves and live the way they want to be.

What's more, Miyano Akemi is a smart person with an extremely high IQ, and she must have her own ideas.

Koizumi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Well, since we are not on the same path, it would be better to come clean and separate as soon as possible."

She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled proudly: "Fortunately, I was well prepared. I asked Yamada Taro to suspend Keel's work, and the TSE financial team also asked him to find someone to take over.

“Hey, Karasuma Renya actually thought that he could get my information by relying on Kiel?

"Oh, it won't be long before he finds out that Miss Keel, who is smart, capable, weak and easy to control, is actually a useless person who can't do anything."

"I'm not bragging, but without me, she is really nothing."

Sakurai laughed, grabbed Koizumi's cheeks and rubbed them hard twice: "Yes, yes, you are the best!"

"Humph, of course!"

After some laughter, the topic returned to the main topic.

Sakurai: "Isn't it possible that Karasuma Renya took the sake back to the base camp? If he were given a chance to talk to that person, the sake might bring up the remote control device."

"No, he has no chance of returning to Twilight Annex."

Koizumi sneered: "It is said that the gentleman can't wait and has arranged a live dissection experiment for him."

Sakurai shuddered involuntarily.

"Gin said that he had arranged for someone to send the remote control back to the Japanese wine shop.

"If the Metropolitan Police Department or that gentleman had someone raid the sake house, they would have discovered that the remote control was hidden in the safe in the Kishida family's study.

"In this case, the gentleman will most likely think that sake did not carry the remote control with him, so I took care of him.

"And the fact that Gin's device failed shouldn't be exposed."

Sakurai hesitated for a moment, then asked with some curiosity: "Then how are you going to explain the leak of the reagent sample to that gentleman?"

Koizumi winked at her and said, "You can try to guess first. I can assure you that my reasons are absolutely valid and will be extremely effective."

Sakurai blinked speechlessly, and suddenly laughed: "You have a really stupid brain... No wonder Officer Megure didn't even want to let you go to jail."

Koizumi: “…Ah?”

"What do you think was his first reaction after he knew for sure that you would be in detention for a while?"

Koizumi: "...Is he planning to let me help him solve the case?"

"Hahaha, you guessed it right! Oh, Yi Dahang really sent the file over. I'll go out and deal with it."

After saying that, Sakurai hurriedly returned to the puppet's body.

Koizumi looked at the situation on the screen in silence.

Two thick stacks of files...

Koizumi was truly speechless.

Inspector Megure really thinks highly of her. How many case files did he bring over? Was he really planning to ask her to help solve the case?

But it’s okay, at least these things can be used to cover the Sakurai puppet when it is on standby.

Sakurai returned to the system space again.

"Izumi, did you hear that? Just now, Date Kou said that several waves of reporters came to the police station and asked to interview you, but they were all kicked out by Officer Megure.

"But judging by the persistence of those tabloid reporters, they will never give up and will definitely cause more trouble."

Koizumi nodded. "It seems that the actions of Youqiao have begun to take effect. I estimate that someone will come to harass you soon. You just need to deal with it."

"OK, no problem."

Sakurai paused for a moment, then continued, "Izumi, by doing this, you are actually putting all your hopes on Akai Shuichi, right? Are you sure he will be able to get reinforcements soon? What if he simply gives up the deal with you..."

“He won’t.”

Koizumi said categorically: "Through the incident with Furuya, I am more certain that every character in the main storyline has his own compulsion, not only in death events, but also in their thoughts and obsessions.

"For Shuichi Akai, the truth behind his father's disappearance is an obsession he can never let go of.

"And with the reaction of the Tobacco Man yesterday, I dare say that the Americans may come sooner than I expected."
