Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Shuichi Akai shook off Ken Takagi's hand and ran towards the gate without saying a word.

He suddenly thought of the three briefcases left in the basement laboratory.

Could it be that this person calculated the delivery time precisely just for the reagents?

He and Takagi did not close the door when they came out just now. Was this person the one who sneaked in just now?

Shuichi Akai was very fast, but when he returned to the gate of the villa, he was still a step slow. He only saw a black shadow flash in the distance and then disappear, and it seemed that the shadow was holding something in its hand.

Shuichi Akai thought to himself that something was wrong.

"Takagi, go to the basement and see if the briefcase is still there!"

Akai Shuichi shouted and chased in the direction where the black shadow disappeared without hesitation.

There was no one on the street. The dim street lights cast a small, faint light, which made the surrounding darkness seem even deeper and more eerie.

Shuichi Akai suddenly had a creepy feeling and vaguely realized that something seemed wrong behind him.

He immediately stopped, turned around, and fired a shot in that direction without hesitation.

With a "bang", the sound of gunfire echoed in the silent night, and there seemed to be a muffled groan heard.

Looks like it hit?

Shuichi Akai held the gun tightly, his body tense like a fully drawn bowstring, and he searched slowly and carefully in that direction.

The darkness seemed like thick ink that had solidified. The deathly silence was like an invisible giant net that ruthlessly swallowed up all sounds, leaving people feeling suffocated.

However, in the end he only saw a few drops of inconspicuous dark red liquid on the ground, but no one.

Shuichi Akai squatted down and touched the liquid with his fingertips, which felt sticky.

He really shot someone just now, but it was probably just a minor injury, but it doesn't look like he hit any vital parts.

So, the person has escaped?

"sand……"

The moment he heard the noise, Akai Shuichi quickly turned around and aimed his gun at the back, but before he could completely turn around, the opponent's attack had already arrived. In a hurry, his arm just happened to block the shadow's fierce kick.

Without giving him a chance to catch his breath and adjust his condition, the black shadow took advantage of the situation to attack again, with a whistling fist heading straight for his face.

Shuichi Akai keenly sensed the flash of cold light in the opponent's hand. He did not dare to take it head-on. He immediately rolled sideways to dodge and create distance, while raising his gun and aiming.

After missing the attack, the black shadow retreated without hesitation and disappeared into the darkness again like a ghost.

The surroundings fell into deathly silence again.

However, although Shuichi Akai could not see the other person's face clearly, he found that there was a bump on the person's head similar to a bun, so it can be confirmed that it was a female.

Judging from her height and appearance, she must be the woman who had just peeked through the window.

Just then, a violent explosion was heard from the direction of the villa.

Shuichi Akai turned his head suddenly and saw that the flames had already risen.

What happened? The Fujiwara residence exploded? And it looked like it was definitely not an ordinary explosion caused by a failed experiment.

He just asked Ken Takagi to go to the underground experiment to find something...

Shuichi Akai ran back quickly without caring about the dark shadow that might be lurking nearby.

Fujiwara Yuto and Nekozuka were still nowhere to be seen, and even Takagi Ken was no longer here. All that was left was a villa that was burning violently.

But the good news is that although Ken Takagi is nowhere to be seen, his car is also gone.

Shuichi Akai took out his cell phone and called Ken Takagi, but no one answered.

He thought about it and immediately made another call.

"...Sakurai, where are you now?"

------

When Shuichi Akai saw Koizumi, whose face was as pale as a ghost, in the office, he was shocked.

Although he noticed that she was in an abnormal condition when he called her just now, Shuichi Akai did not expect the situation to be so serious.

"What's wrong with you?"

Akai Shuichi sat down on the sofa next to Koizumi and asked.

In order to deceive the gentleman who might be around him, Koizumi has been maintaining his current state since talking with Furutani Rei yesterday. He has only recovered a little bit and his condition is better than yesterday but still very weak.

Seeing that Koizumi was about to get up, Zhu Fujingguang hurried forward to support her and casually stuffed a pillow behind her back as a cushion.

Just with such a simple action, Koizumi felt a little out of breath.

She raised her hand with difficulty and pointed at her chest, answering simply: "Gunshot wound."

Akai Shuichi frowned: "Weren't you having a wedding yesterday? Someone attacked you at the wedding?"

As he said this, he glanced at Zhu Fu Jingguang beside him.

Because he didn't receive an invitation and he still had to monitor Fujiwara Yuto, Shuichi Akai didn't have the tact to join in the fun, so he didn't know what actually happened at the so-called wedding.

He really thought this was a formal wedding.

Although it was a bit unexpected that a code name member of an organization married an undercover police officer, it seemed reasonable given the current delicate situation in Tokyo and the efforts of the Neon upper echelons to curry favor with and recruit the Black Organization.

Seeing the look in Akai Shuichi's eyes, Zhu Fushimi guessed what he was thinking, lowered his head and asked softly: "Do you need me to explain it to him?"

Seeing Koizumi nod, Zhufu Jingguang immediately told Akai Shuichi about the wedding commission and the matter of Pramya, cutting out the beginning and the end and picking out the unimportant parts.

As expected, Shuichi Akai's attention was immediately focused on Pramya.

"…female, over 60 meters tall, weighing around kilograms, usually with a bun hairstyle, excellent physical fitness, excellent strength and agility, and rich combat experience?"

"And is proficient in all types of explosives."

Koizumi added, "How do you know so clearly?"

Akai Shuichi took a deep breath: "Because I just met this person, she just attacked Mr. Fujiwara."

"Huh?" Koizumi glared. "No way, I just talked to Fujiwara Yuto on the phone, and he didn't mention this."

Akai Shuichi stared at her: "...Tell me the truth, was Fujiwara Yuto transferred away by you?"

"I get angry just talking about this, it's all because of you!"

Koizumi suddenly said angrily, "That old bastard Fujiwara Yuto, I finally let him stay here to do research for a few days, but he suddenly said he wanted to move and look for a new place to live. Not only did he abandon Nekozuka and Takagi this time, he also scolded me, saying that we were in cahoots with you and had bad intentions towards him."

Akai Shuichi frowned: "...Me? Colluding with you? Having bad intentions? Maozuka was assigned by you to be a guard, what does it have to do with me?"

"Guard? Guard what?"

Koizumi looked stunned: "It was Fujiwara Yuto who took the initiative to ask me to leave Nekozuka, and the purpose was to protect him from you!"

Akai Shuichi:? ? ?

Koizumi: "Didn't you come to me before and ask to be his bodyguard? I told you to ask his opinion yourself. Later, this guy called me and said that you tried to kidnap him before, and this time it must be your intention again, so he specifically asked Nekozuka to go over to protect his personal safety."

Akai Shuichi:......

Yes, he had tried that before, but without success.

So, no matter how he tried to show his kindness, Fujiwara Yuto wouldn't appreciate it and wouldn't eat the food he gave him. Was it all because of that incident?

Then why did he let himself into the laboratory today?

And what about the balled-up paper he found in the file box?

Shuichi Akai rummaged through his coat pocket, took out the ball of paper that he hadn't had time to look at yet, and opened it carefully.

There were only two small words written on the piece of paper the size of a fingernail...
