Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Shoichi grabbed Genta and Mitsuhiko's hands and said, "It's better to have a hand sawed off than to be blown up by a bomb."

"Isn't it?"

The third child couldn't help but shed tears when he thought about having only one hand to do his homework in the future.

You shouldn't do that.

Seeing that everyone seemed reluctant to have their hands sawed off.

Ai walked up to Masakazu and kicked his shin.

"Why aren't you worried at all?" Ai asked.

“Because I believe in Conan,” Shoichi said. “Didn’t the person who planted the bomb say so?”

"As long as Conan solves that case, they won't be blown up."

Ai pouted.

When have you ever been this naive?

Ai asked, "Do you believe that the client will keep their promise?"

They've planted bombs on Xiaolan's wrists, what kind of guy would keep his promises?
It's estimated that after Conan solves the case, he'll send all these people to heaven together.

Shoichi squatted down, staring intently at the D-watches on Genta and Mitsuhiko's wrists.

He tapped the hard case lightly with his fingers, producing a crisp sound.

“Since you don’t want to have your hand amputated,” Zheng Yi drawled, “there’s another way.”

Yuan Tai asked, sobbing, "Wh...what method?"

“Look,” Zheng Yi pointed to the watch screen, where a countdown was relentlessly ticking.

"Since this bomb is electronic, it must be vulnerable to water, right?"

Ai asked warily, "What terrible idea have you come up with this time?"

Zhengyi said, "We can bury the watch in the ground, the deeper the better."

"For example, go to the flower bed over there, dig a deep hole, put your hand in, and cover the surface completely with soil."

Ayumi asked timidly, "Bury it...and then what?"

"And then?" Zheng Yi grinned. "Then when the bomb explodes, the soil will absorb the impact."

"It's like... um... like setting off firecrackers buried in the ground, the sound will be much quieter, and you might only lose an arm."

He got more and more excited as he talked, and even planned to drag Yuan Tai and the others to dig a pit.

The three children huddled together, their tears flowing even more fiercely.

"Seiichi! You better stop this!" Ai's cheeks puffed up with anger.

"Stop scaring them with your crazy ideas! Are you here to help or to cause trouble?"

Shoichi helplessly rubbed Ai's head.

There's nothing wrong with my own idea.

I just wanted to sacrifice the pawn to save the king; you guys want to save everything, that's not right.

"Xiaolan?"

Sonoko appeared from behind Ran: "Ai and Masakazu? You guys are at the Fantasy Park too?"

She glanced at the ID watches that everyone had and said, "You all have them, but unfortunately I lost mine."

"Then, Sonoko-neechan, can I give you mine?" Ayumi said, running to Sonoko's side.

"Uh." Sonoko patted Ayumi's head, touched by the child's gesture.

"No need, you can use it yourself."

Ayumi shook her head: "No, no, no, I'll give it to Sonoko-neechan instead."

Genta and Mitsuhiko also spoke warmly to Sonoko:

"If possible, we would also like to give our watches to Sonoko-neechan."

"what?"

Sonoko's eyes were filled with disbelief.

When did these three little devils become so close?
Sonoko squatted down and looked at the three little ones.

I noticed that their eyes were filled with tears.

Could it be that these three kids were disciplined by Xiaolan and Zhengyi, which is why they are so well-behaved and sensible?

“It’s a bomb.” Ai’s lips twitched as she said, “There’s a bomb planted in the watches of these three kids.”

"A bomb?" Sonoko was slightly taken aback.

After realizing what was happening, he quickly punched each of the three kids on the head.

The three little ones covered their heads and squatted in front of the garden, trembling.

"You three brats!"

After teaching those three scheming brats a lesson.

Sonoko suddenly clapped her hands, as if she had remembered some lifeline:
"If we can find out who that mysterious client is, we can get rid of the bomb in Xiaolan's hands, right?"

"That should be true," Xiaolan said.

"By the way, in a sense, this 'Fantasy Park' was also built by our Suzuki Foundation."

Sonoko immediately pulled out her brand-new pink cell phone and confidently dialed her father's number.

"Hey, Dad! It's me, Sonoko!"

Sonoko asked, "I'm in a bit of trouble at Fantasyland right now. Ran and the Junior Detective League kids' ID watches might have bombs on them."

A puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone:

"A bomb? How could there be such a thing? Sonoko, are you sure it's not some tourist's prank prop?"

"I'm sure! Ran said so, it can't be wrong!" Sonoko explained anxiously.

"Dad, please help me find out who rented that VIP suite?"

Sonoko covered the microphone and explained to the people around her:
"I asked Dad to access the backend rental system. That's the highest-level access query; he'll definitely be able to find it!"

Everyone nodded.

The three little ones also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Suzuki Group has a huge reputation, and the Fantasy Park was built by the Suzuki Group.

So there will definitely be no problem this time.

Finding the killer would give us hope of defusing the bomb.

However, a few minutes later, Sonoko's expression gradually darkened.

"...What?! Can't find it?!" Sonoko raised her voice in disbelief.
"Dad, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could we not find it?"

“Sonoko,” Suzuki Shiro’s voice became serious and helpless:
“I just had the tech team check. The specific VIP suite is listed in the system as ‘internal maintenance, reservations suspended’.”

"The rental records are completely blank, or rather, they have been altered and erased by someone using very sophisticated methods."

"The tech team said it didn't seem like a typical booking error; it was more like... encountering a top-tier hacker."

"Hacker?!" Sonoko was stunned, and her phone almost slipped from her hand.

“Yes, the opponent’s skills are very high,” Shiro Suzuki said in a deep voice.

“They not only bypassed the access control system, but also completely erased the rental records.”

"Sonoko, this matter is probably much more complicated than we thought. I've already notified the police, so please don't take any rash actions!"

"Beep-beep-"

The call was hung up.

Hearing the busy signal, Sonoko felt completely dejected.

"How is it? The garden?" Xiaolan asked anxiously.

Sonoko put down her phone, her face pale. "It's all over... My dad said that the rental record for that room was completely erased using hacking techniques. Even our Suzuki Group's technicians can't find out who rented it."

This news came like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.

"Even the Suzuki Foundation can't find anything... Does that mean we really can't find Ran and the others?" Mitsuhiko said in despair.

"Hackers? That's perfect!" Zheng Yi suddenly snapped his fingers confidently.

"Don't forget, my computer skills are top-notch too."

"You?" Hongye looked at Zhengyi.

How come I didn't know you were a skilled hacker?
Ai yawned, already knowing who Shoichi needed help from.

Sonoko looked at him with a skeptical expression: "Seiichi-nii, are you really sure you can do it? Are you just bragging again?" "That's hurtful!" Seiichi called and had a laptop delivered.

"Just you wait and see, today I'll show you my skills."

The group arrived at the cafe in the fantasy park.

Zheng Yi placed the computer on the table, took a deep breath, and hovered his hands above the keyboard.

"Next, it's time to witness the miracle."

After saying that, his eyes narrowed and his index finger suddenly pointed downwards.

"Snapped!"

A crisp tapping sound rang out.

His finger landed precisely on the "Enter" key in the bottom left corner of the keyboard.

There is no complicated code input, no blind typing with ten fingers flying, just a single key.

The moment he pressed Enter, the computer screen suddenly changed.

The originally black screen was instantly filled with countless streams of colorful data.

Green code cascaded down from the top like a waterfall, interspersed with complex three-dimensional network topology diagrams and constantly fluctuating radar scan patterns.

A holographic warning box even popped up on the screen, flashing the words "ACCESS GRANTED".

"Wow...that's amazing! That's so cool!" Genta stared in disbelief, his eyes sparkling.

Sonoko covered her mouth in surprise: "Is this the world of hackers? Zhengyi, you're so cool!"

Only Hongye stared at Zhengyi with a very strange expression.

She asked, "You only need to press one key, right?"

“Of course,” Zheng Yi said. “Dealing with a hacker of this level doesn’t require me to go all out.”

"Pressing only one key is already a sign of my respect for him."

Hongye stared at the computer screen, feeling a little dizzy.

It seems like one key shouldn't be able to achieve this effect, right?
Could it be that there's some program on Zheng Yi's computer that he just started?

Hongye looked at the computer screen with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"Although the other party erased the records of the rental system, any network operation will definitely leave traces in the logs of the router and switch."

"Especially in the intranet of a large amusement park like this, the flow of data packets cannot be hidden," Zheng Yi explained to everyone.

While explaining, he didn't forget to check his phone.

Ai quietly approached Masakazu and saw the contents of his phone.

as predicted.

As expected, it was Hiroki operating the computer.

While operating the computer, one also needs to explain to Zheng Yi on the mobile phone, so that Zheng Yi can show off his divine power in front of everyone.

"Zhengyi is amazing!" The three little ones surrounded him with admiration.

Zheng Yi stared calmly at the computer screen.

This is just my usual practice; it's nothing special.

“We’ve found out,” Zheng Yi said. “But it’s not in the form of a rental. It’s that suite that has been reserved for a specific person since the establishment of the Fantasy Park.”

A person's information appeared on the computer screen.

“Huh? I know this person,” Sonoko said, pointing to the photo on the screen.

Sonoko said, "Ito Suehiko is the owner of this fantasy theme park."

Sonoko, resting her chin on her hand, recalled, "Fantasy Park was invested in with the help of the Suzuki Group."

"This Suehiko Ito is involved in an armored truck robbery and seems to be missing now."

"Missing?" Xiaolan was stunned.

If it's a disappearance, doesn't that mean they can't find the murderer anywhere?
The three little ones reacted faster than Xiaolan.

Upon hearing that the murderer had disappeared, they were already circling around Sonoko.

“Don’t worry, I have another way,” Zheng Yi said.

"any solution?"

The three little ones quieted down again, squatted down in front of Zheng Yi, and placed all their hopes on him.

Compared to Sonoko, Masakazu is definitely more reliable.

Zheng Yi said, "The ID watches you have are probably being remotely controlled."

"In that case, I can try to seize control."

Saying,

"Snapped!"

Another crisp tapping sound rang out.

His finger landed precisely on the "Enter" key in the bottom left corner of the keyboard.

There is still no complex code input, and still no blind typing with ten fingers flying across the keyboard.

It's still just a single key.

Another incomprehensible waterfall of data appeared on the screen.

The three little ones were dazzled by the sight.

I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all.

Then, as if to give Zhengyi a greater sense of participation, a "Confirm?" option appeared on the screen.

Zheng Yi chose to confirm.

After making the selection, the message "[Explosive device deactivated]" appeared on the screen.

Xiaolan blinked as she looked at the screen.

"So, does this mean it's been lifted?" Xiaolan asked.

“That’s right.” Zheng Yi nodded calmly.

He pulled Ayumi to his side and went straight to take off the ID watch from her wrist.

"No!" Ayumi screamed.

She immediately shrank into Zheng Yi's arms.

Ai looked at Ayumi speechlessly.

So, do you want to take Zheng Yi down with you when you get blown up?

After taking off his ID watch, Masayuki picked up Ayumi and threw her into Ran's arms.

"Alright, the bomb has been defused," Zheng Yi said.

Seeing that Ayumi was alright, Ran and the others quickly took off their watches.

Genta looked at the watch in his hand and said softly, "It was taken off so easily. Is this watch really a bomb?"

Masayuki glanced at Genta.

He pointed to a deserted spot outside and said to Yuan Tai, "Throw your watch in that direction."

"what?"

Genta was a little confused, but he still followed Zheng Yi's instructions and used all his strength to throw the ID watch in the direction Zheng Yi was pointing.

While the watch was in mid-air, Zheng Yi's finger touched a button on the computer.

"Oh!"

The watch exploded in mid-air.

Countless tiny metal fragments and circuit board remnants transformed into streaks of dazzling golden sparks, shooting out in all directions from the point of explosion.

It's like fireworks.

The three little ones huddled together, trembling, swallowing hard.

"Zhengyi-gege, you're so...so amazing."

“If it weren’t for Brother Zhengyi, we would definitely be in trouble.”

Zheng nodded and put away his computer.

This is the attitude you should have! (End of Chapter)
