Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Although it is still New Year, there is no festive atmosphere at all in an old temple in Tokyo.

The gate of the temple was open, and two rows of gang members in black suits and solemn expressions stood there, with the outline of weapons vaguely visible at their waists. White chrysanthemum wreaths were placed on both sides of the road, and the petals trembled gently in the breeze, as if they were also mourning the dead.

There was no New Year celebration here like other temples and shrines, but instead a grand funeral was being held.

Gu Zhengzhang's funeral.

As a big shot who is popular with both the red and black parties, the composition of the people who came to pay their respects was quite complicated.

From the top gang members to police bosses, from Tokyo's new mayor Nae Oyamada to ordinary people of unknown status, as well as Tani Masaaki's godsons, everyone wore black mourning clothes, with solemn and dignified expressions.

Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu also attended the funeral, monitoring the situation at the scene as ordinary citizens, but also as undercover agents of the Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department.

Koizumi also came, but also as an ordinary citizen. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, she randomly changed her face to that of a passerby.

This time when she returned, the system gave her a new task: to witness the birth of Conan.

If we follow the inertia of thinking, Conan should be talking about Kudo Shinichi, right?

In other words, Kudo Shinichi will eventually become Conan?

In other words, Koizumi not only can no longer dislike Kudo Shinichi, but also has to take the initiative to contact him and lurk around him...

Sakurai Izumi's original social identity is dead and definitely cannot be used anymore. She needs to rebuild a social identity that can be used for a long time.

So, after returning to the world of Detective Conan, although Koizumi did not immediately appear in front of the five-member group, she quickly contacted Nekōzuka, settled down with his help, and recreated a new identity as "Izumi Kyoko".

Then, she used her new "writing" skills to give herself a writer's vest as a cover.

As for the character design of the pen name "Azuma Yuno", it is the same as the name. Koizumi completely copied a certain Japanese animation she had watched and designed a pseudonym that is very talented but has an abnormal personality and mental state.

She is talented, has high social tolerance, and can also serve as a cover for her financial resources.

Mental abnormality means that if her words and deeds do not conform to the general social norms, it is completely understandable that she occasionally does something out of the ordinary.

perfect!

In addition, Nekozuka also introduced Koizumi to the latest developments of the "Black Cat Office".

That's right, the new gang that Nekozuka registered with the help of Boss Kujo actually used the name of her detective agency, called "Black Cat Agency."

Koizumi was a little speechless at first, but then she thought, anyway, Sakurai Izumi's identity is dead, her detective agency is abolished, and Hiroki is entrusted to the care of Nekozuka and Takagi, who are the backbone members of her new gang. Doesn't that mean Hiroki has become the prince of her new gang?

The original team of "Black Cat Agency" was directly transferred from the detective agency to the gang. Is there a problem?

Very silky and totally flawless!

Koizumi stared at the huge portrait in the center of the mourning hall for a moment.

According to Nekozuka, after hearing the news of Sakurai Izumi's death, Tani Masaaki immediately brought Hiroki back from the United States. After handing over the custody of Hiroki, he soon fell ill.

It wasn't a serious illness, but he had no will to live. He ignored everyone's advice, didn't seek medical treatment, didn't ask for advice, and didn't take medicine. In the end, he dragged himself to death...

Koizumi put down the chrysanthemum and bowed properly. As he turned to leave the mourning hall, he glanced at Shinji Hagiya, who looked depressed.

Because she was in disguise, the boss didn't recognize her.

However, Koizumi had no intention of recognizing him and just brushed past him and walked away.

Unlike Nae Oyamada, Shinji Hagiya took the "rejuvenation drug" and became the youngest among the five friends.

Therefore, he was destined to be the last one to die among the five.

You will watch your good friends leave you one by one, you may even live longer than your descendants, and the people close to you will become fewer and fewer until you are alone.

This is the price of immortality.

It's your own choice too.

When she came out of the mourning hall, she saw Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu waiting for her outside.

However, Koizumi did not go to meet them, but walked towards the cat mound on the other side.

At this time, there was a child standing next to Maozuka who looked extremely confused and at a loss.

Because the interpersonal relationships around her had not yet been sorted out, Koizumi originally did not plan to meet Hiroki so early, but the death of Dr. Tani made her change her mind.

Koizumi walked over quickly, nodded slightly to Nekozuka, and reached out to hug the child: "Xiaoshu."

Hiroki dodged subconsciously, but he soon discovered that Uncle Nekozuka had no intention of stopping him. He also remembered that the two people following the strange aunt were the two uncles who had gone to the hot spring hotel together.

Then this aunt with a strange face...

Hiroki was stunned for just two seconds, then tentatively called out in a low voice: "...Dad?"

What a clever kid...

Koizumi sighed softly and responded, "It's me, Hiroki."

Hiroki blinked his eyes, still a little bit unbelieving. He grabbed Koizumi's clothes tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Dad? Really dad?"

Koizumi let go of her hand and winked at him: "Do you want to give it a try?"

"Dad!" Xiao Hongshu threw himself into her arms, "You're back. Have you finished your work?"

"Well, it's done." Koizumi nodded with a smile, "I will take care of you personally from now on and won't let you leave again."

A smile first appeared on Hiroki's face, but then big tears started to fall, and he reached out and hugged Koizumi's neck tightly.

Koizumi sighed in his heart, patted his back gently and said comfortingly: "I'm sorry, Hiroki, I made you feel wronged."

"Wuwuwu... I thought you were dead, and then grandpa died too. I thought no one wanted me anymore..." Hongshu sobbed, his little body shaking constantly, "I was really scared."

"Be good, don't be afraid." Xiaoquan hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear: "Dad will always be with you from now on. No matter where I go, I will take you with me. We will never be separated again."

"Really?"

"real!"

"Really?"

"It's true! Let's go home now. Ah, there's one more thing to do before that."

Seeing Xiao Hongshu's puzzled expression, Xiaoquan winked at him and said with a smile: "First, I have to change your name. From now on, you are the child of my Quan family!"
