Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

The blood flowed from the laboratory table to the ground and was still slowly spreading around, and the nose was filled with a strong fishy smell.

Fortunately, Koizumi's ability to be insensitive to corpses remained stable, her emotions remained stable, and she did not behave in any way that was inconsistent with her character.

Hearing Karasuma Renya's question, Koizumi turned his eyes away from the corpse, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and muttered quietly: "It's only been 20 years and he's already rejuvenated?"

The sound was not loud, but it was sure that Karasuma Renya could hear it.

it means……

Although it is an improvement over before, it is only twenty years. It is definitely not enough for an old monster like you who doesn’t know your real age, right?

Then, Koizumi looked at the camera and said, "Sir, I have been hiding in the detention room of the Beihua Police Station to avoid trouble in the past few days. Do you know about this?"

Perhaps her words "only twenty years" worked, and Karasuma Renya did not answer her question immediately. Although he could still hear the excitement when he spoke again, his emotions had indeed cooled down a lot.

"Oh, I do know. You are the only one who would run to a place like that to take refuge."

Because only by staying in that kind of place can I prevent members of the organization, such as Gin, from coming to cause trouble for me.

After all, Koizumi originally really thought that this action would most likely anger Karasuma Renya, and guessed that he would never let him go easily.

Koizumi said with a playful smile: "Hehe, I'll take it as a compliment. Actually, there's nothing bad about that place. There's food and drink, people to take care of you, and it's a private room."

As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes and tilted her head to look at Gin with a playful look on her face: "Highly recommended."

Gin snorted coldly and ignored her provocation.

Gin didn't say anything, but Karasuma Renya said something surprising: "Flirting or cocktail making is up to you after the report is over, but be serious now."

Koizumi: ...Huh?!

I got goosebumps instantly.

What the hell is this?

Hearing Gin's mocking sneer beside him, Koizumi curled his lips in displeasure.

Tsk, even though it was just one sentence, she felt like she had suffered a great loss.

But now was obviously not the time to find fault, so Koizumi could only swallow his anger and bring the topic back to the topic that had inexplicably gone off track.

"Because I have been in the detention room, I have no contact with my researcher. So after being rescued by the Americans today, I found the box he left there in the office.

Gin:......

This person is lying again with open eyes.

During the five days that Melo was hiding in the detention center, he was actually the one who personally guarded outside the office every night. After late at night, he would sneak in to check the situation in the cat cafe and the office, and clean up a wave of small toys left behind by people with ulterior motives.

For so many days, Mello told him not to mess with Fujiwara Yuto, but he never saw this person appear near the cat cafe once, nor did he find anything in the office except surveillance equipment.

By the way, Vermouth also said that she had not actually met Fujiwara Yuto in the past few days. She only found the reagents placed in the office safe after receiving the email notification from Mello.

So how did this guy get the stuff in there?

If it was Mello himself, it would make sense that he could send the things in without anyone noticing.

Could it be that……

Mello wasn't actually in the detention room at all, and the one locked up was actually her puppet Sakurai?

It's a really good trick...

Even he, who knew the inside story, was almost fooled!

So where on earth did this little liar Melo go to do his tricks during these five days?

When Emanuel took her back to the office to change bodies and get gifts, Koizumi learned about the situation of the cat cafe in the past few days and Gin's movements in the past few days from her cat brother.

So Gin must have realized that she was talking nonsense.

However, does she feel pressured to lie in front of Gin?

Forget about the pressure, there are no eggs (spreading hands).

Koizumi: "According to the note left by my collaborator, this success was actually a complete accident."

Koizumi calmed down and started talking nonsense seriously.

"It was clearly the same materials, the same equipment, the same external conditions, the same operating steps, but the final product inexplicably showed unexpected deviations. No matter how I replicated the previous steps, it failed without exception. I have never been able to make a potion with the same effect again."

Koizumi spread his hands. "That was exactly what he said, and it was also the reason why Santa Felina was out of stock again. He said he was so absorbed in his research that he completely forgot about the supply."

Gin:......

Nonsense.

I think the out-of-stock issue was caused by you, Melo, on purpose!

You are already using hunger marketing to infinitely raise customer expectations, and the purpose of out-of-stock is to create a cliff for these people's expectations, so as to arouse their anger and let them vent their emotions on the police who "snatched away" the previous batch of goods, thereby putting pressure on the police and those people behind them who want to take action against you.

The angrier they are, the more emotionally devastated they will be when they encounter a blow, and the more likely they will be to compromise in their opinions on how to deal with Melo.

As soon as the Americans arrived, those guys simply gave up confrontation and chose a conciliatory policy.

Haha, this psychological tactic is quite well handled.

Gin suddenly remembered the "Criminal Psychology" textbook he had seen in Merlo's bookcase.

Could it be that the content of the police teaching materials was so explosive that even a self-taught person like her could achieve such results?

It was obvious that Karasuma Renya and Gin had completely different ideas, and his focus was only on the potion.

"...Mello, you're not saying that this is the only new version of the potion, are you?"

"No, of course not! It's the same five as normal output."

"Then the other one..."

"Hey, let me explain..."

Koizumi counted on his fingers, "He used one when he was doing the experiment, and kept one for himself after he found something unusual. I gave one to Emanuel as a gift, and I just used one to show you the effect of the potion."

As she spoke, she took out another test tube from her pocket and showed it to the camera: "There's one left..."

There were sounds of gasps and grinding of teeth coming from the microphone.

Koizumi shrank his neck, revealing a guilty look: "Well, in order to win over Emanuel and make him work for me, I took it upon myself to give him some benefits, just a little bit..."

After a while, Karasuma Renya spoke again: "Well, after all, it is an accidental product and its safety cannot be completely guaranteed. Just think of it as asking the American Consul General to help test the medicine."

"Yes Yes!"

Koizumi nodded hurriedly in agreement, like a chick pecking at rice.

I don't know if Karasuma Renya was pleased by her deliberate flattery, but a deep laugh came from the loudspeaker: "Give the remaining reagent to Dr. Ueda. He is the researcher just now."

Koizumi looked puzzled: "Eh? You're not giving it to Shirley?"

Karasuma Renya: "...She is also responsible for the research of APTX4869."

Oh, you were clearly looking forward to Shiho Miyano producing research results soon not long ago?

Although I don't understand why, Karasuma Renya's action of prohibiting Miyano Shiho from participating in the research of the rejuvenation drug has a somewhat punitive meaning.

I don’t know which one of the Miyano family made Karasuma Renya unhappy.

Hehe, maybe it’s not one of them, but both?

Koizumi felt inexplicably relieved.

She did not hide her gloating mood, nodded, and said with a smile: "Oh, okay, okay."

Then he added in a confident tone: "The researcher Ueda just now is also very capable, no less capable than Shirley! I believe he will soon be able to produce results that will satisfy you."

Karasuma Renya: ...

"Oh, of course, don't worry, I will ask him to hurry up and do his best! I believe that with the current research progress, we should be able to produce a more effective anti-aging drug soon."

Oh, just wait patiently.

There will definitely not be any better medicine available before November!

Both the Americans and Shinji Hagiya are ready to start acting according to the list she provided.

Because the list is very long and there are many tough nuts to crack, this will be a long process. It is expected that initial results will begin to appear within one or two months, and about 40% of the list will be completed within three or four months.

Even if it was only 40%, it would still be a huge loss for Karasuma Renya.

According to economists sent by the United States, when faced with an unknown attack, Karasuma Renya will definitely try to use reserve funds to save these companies, which will lead to a break in their liquidity chain.

This is tantamount to cutting off his aorta, and unless there is new capital injection or external assistance, he will be in dire straits.

Oh, old man, be anxious in anticipation.

Savor the pain of not getting what you want, and then collapse under the double pressure from both inside and outside!

When you have a mental breakdown, become crazy, paranoid, and desperate, you are about to die.
