I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 453 Newly Arrived Zhiming
Conan, who was searching for the mysterious hunting spot—a trash can—slowly crawled out of it.

He held up the empty bottle in a pose reminiscent of the protagonist in The Legend of Zelda getting a new item, looking very happy and as if he had found a treasure. With his back to the camera, he was talking to the members of the Junior Detective League.

Chen En smirked and didn't look at it again.

He guessed that Conan had probably already figured out that Hirayama Bungo was just nearsighted, and he believed that Conan could handle things properly. Now, he should prepare for Akai Shuichi's fake death plan.

------

Meanwhile, after finding the bottle, Conan held it up like a precious treasure, showing it to everyone and saying,
"Everyone, look!"

"The bottom of this bottle has been cut off, right? If you cut off the bottom, it will form a square plate, which can be used to hold things."

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with even greater confusion.

Conan is talking nonsense. Do you think they don't know that the bottom of this thing can be used to store things? The question is, what is the necessary connection between cutting off the bottom of this bottle and the disappearance of Amamiya Shoko?

Seeing this, Conan sighed and simply tossed the bottle aside.
He then took out the milk powder he had bought earlier and poured it into the bottle he had just bought for Yuan Tai to drink in one gulp. He added water, put the cap on, shook it thoroughly, and only after getting a bottle of milk did he speak.

"Alright, come with me, I'll take you to find Xiangzi."

Everyone nodded.

If you had said that earlier, none of this would have happened. Why bother explaining all this?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Conan felt he had a hard time making a judgment.

I feel I can understand a little bit why Chen En is unwilling to explain the reasons for his plans most of the time—because Chen En's sources of information are unpredictable and he wouldn't understand even if I explained them, so I simply don't talk to him about it.

When you meet a big shot, you can give up thinking. Sigh, what a lazy bum.

Ai Haibara had been secretly observing Bungo Hirayama.

She tried to find Hirayama Bungo's weakness in the slightest clues, but this codenamed member of the black organization was more powerful than she expected. Although every move he made was full of flaws, he gave her the feeling of being impeccable.

Sure enough, this must be a codenamed member of the Black Organization, disguised and trying to infiltrate the ranks of the teachers at Teitan Elementary School.

However, Hirayama Bungo was completely unaware of Haibara Ai's gaze.
He drove with some apprehension, leading the Junior Detective League to follow Miyamoto Yumi's police car towards their next target.

------

The destination this time was a warehouse.

Conan had just gotten out of the car and headed straight into the warehouse. Seeing this, Miyamoto Yumi followed him in with some concern, but she had only taken a couple of steps when she sneezed again.

"Achoo! Seriously, there's so much dust here! I can't help but sneeze every time I come in..."

Before Miyamoto Yumi could finish speaking, Genta, who was standing next to her, said something rather strange.

"Huh? Is there a lot of dust? No, I don't feel anything."

"Miyamoto-neechan, could it be that you have caught a cold?"

Yumi Miyamoto: ?
Damn it, I can tell whether it's a cold or dust!
She touched her mask and muttered to herself.

“But I didn’t sneeze when I was at the convenience store, but I started sneezing here. Doesn’t that mean it’s not just a cold, but also because of the dust?”

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed Conan approach a gap and then squeeze through it.

This terrified Miyamoto Yumi half to death on the spot. She rushed over, only to see the members of the Junior Detective League squeezing through one by one. She gritted her teeth and followed suit... and then got stuck.

"Please help me! Please help me!"

"It's a red face," Miyamoto Yumi said.

------

The members of the Junior Detective League lent a hand and pulled Yumi Miyamoto into the small area behind the gap.

At that moment, Conan poured out the milk from the simple plate and poured his own milk powder into it, placing it in the original plate's spot. Immediately, several adorable kittens gathered around to drink the milk.

Ai Haibara couldn't resist reaching out and ruffling the kitten's head a couple of times.

The kitten seemed quite affectionate towards Ai Haibara, running over and rubbing against her. This scene looked increasingly familiar to Mitsuhiko, who then exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, that's it. It's because Shoko often has the same expression as Haibara that I think they look alike... except that Shoko's hair and voice are much softer than Haibara's, not as sharp."

Haibara Ai:?
Am I sharp-sounding or have sharp hair? You haven't seen anything truly sharp.

Ai Haibara replied irritably.
"I'm sorry my voice is shrill."

Conan ignored all of that and simply frowned as he spoke.
"The reason Miyamoto-neechan is sneezing is because she's allergic to cat fur. There are cats in this warehouse, which is why she keeps sneezing. But where's Amamiya-san? Why isn't Amamiya-san here... Could it be...?!"

He was startled and immediately squeezed through the gap, followed closely by the members of the Junior Detective League.

Miyamoto Yumi turned to look at the gap, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out anyway.

Then it got stuck again.

"Please, pull me up!"

------

Conan arrived outside the warehouse.

His gaze fell on the skid marks on the ground, and then followed the skid marks to the utility pole, which had obvious impact marks and fragments of a broken orange headlight next to it.

Most importantly, Conan discovered bloodstains nearby!
Clutching her lower back, Yumi Miyamoto, who had finally managed to squeeze out some air, was momentarily stunned.
She immediately recognized it as a traffic accident scene, but the Ministry of Transportation officials said there hadn't been any accidents in the area. What was going on? Could it be a hit-and-run?
Wait, could it be that... the child Conan and his friends were looking for was actually taken away in a traffic accident?

Yumi Miyamoto was startled and quickly took out her communicator to inquire with the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.
At this moment, the Metropolitan Police Department finally provided the details of the car accident, including the car owner's current location and phone number. Miyamoto Yumi didn't dare to delay and, along with Hirayama Bungo, drove off at breakneck speed with the members of the Junior Detective League.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived at the hospital and saw that Amamiya Shoko was unharmed and just sleeping inside.

Conan explained to Ai Haibara that Hirayama Bungo wasn't a member of the Black Organization, and that it was just a false alarm. However, just as Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief...
A figure appeared at the door of Amamiya Shoko's hospital room.

Ai Haibara felt her Black Organization radar starting to work again.

—The name of this hospital is Shinichi Hospital.

The doctor in charge of treating Shoko Amamiya...

His name is Shinichiro.

Akihiro Shinichi is now standing at the door of the ward, watching Conan and Ai Haibara.
