Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

After saying that, he turned to Inspector Megure and said, "Inspector Megure, please ask your men to help evacuate the people from the hospital. Also, please investigate the identity of the man who was tied up in the cockpit."

After saying that, without waiting for Inspector Megure's reply, he immediately rushed to the police car, took out his phone, and prepared to call his squad leader, Wataru Date, and his friend, Kenji Hagiwara.

Although Inspector Megure had many questions, he also knew that the location of the other bomb had been determined. The most urgent task was to get Captain Matsuda and his team to the scene as soon as possible to defuse it. If the bomb exploded in the hospital… the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking this, Inspector Megure waved his hand and shouted, "Team One, immediately head to the scene with the bomb squad and evacuate the civilians. Team Two, stay here and guard the scene. Team Three, take the man in the cockpit back to the station for investigation!"

Upon receiving the order, everyone immediately sprang into action.

……

three hours later

A group of police officers gathered in the conference room to summarize the day's events.

Officer Chiba stood up, took out a small notebook, and addressed the officers in the front row, including Matsuda and Megure:

"After questioning and investigation, we have determined that the kidnapped man is the real culprit in this incident. He is the bomber who escaped four years ago."

"However... his level of cooperation was somewhat beyond our expectations."

“We took him back to the interrogation room, and as soon as we removed the towel from his mouth, he confessed everything.”

Upon hearing this, the police officers began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Inspector Megure glanced at Superintendent Matsumoto beside him, whose face was somewhat gloomy, and immediately coughed a few times: "Quiet! Inspector Chiba, have you found out the identity of the other masked man?"

"Uh, no. We still don't know how he disappeared from the Ferris wheel cabin. Let alone his identity..." After saying that, Officer Chiba pressed the ballpoint pen in his hand somewhat awkwardly.

How exactly the masked man vanished in full view of everyone remains a mystery to them.

It couldn't be teleportation, could it?

Or is he a birdman with wings?

After gaining a general understanding of the current search situation, Superintendent Matsumoto glanced at the members of the explosive ordnance disposal team and asked, "Officer Matsuda, how are you doing?"

Upon hearing his superior's question, Matsuda Jinpei stood up, his tone filled with a hint of helplessness: "We've found the bomb in the hospital, but like the bomb in the Ferris wheel, the gunpowder inside is fake."

"Fake? Have we all been tricked?"

"..."

The crowd immediately started discussing it again.

Just then, Officer Sato stood up, and the male officers immediately fell silent upon seeing her stand up.

"No! Based on the bomber's testimony, when we searched his home, we found a large quantity of homemade explosives and gunpowder, which were all confirmed to be genuine by the forensic department."

"Moreover, the bomber himself confessed to his revenge plan, and his testimony matches the evidence we found. Therefore, I believe that the bombs in the Ferris wheel and the hospital were originally made of real gunpowder."

"This is very likely related to that masked man..."

Inspector Megure couldn't help but frown. The real culprit had been caught, and the bomb hadn't exploded. Logically speaking, this incident should have been perfectly resolved today.

But the presence of this masked man seemed to shroud the investigation in an inescapable fog.

Who exactly is he, and what is his purpose? And where did he take the real gunpowder?

Based on the information available, the masked man is armed, and with the missing gunpowder, what exactly is this man planning to do?

Not only was Inspector Megure very distressed, but the expressions of the other officers present were also not good.

Ultimately, Section Chief Kiyoshi Matsumoto made the decisive decision to add the masked man to the list of dangerous individuals, and for the First Investigation Division to continue the investigation.

The incident has now come to an end.

After the meeting, Matsuda Jinpei went to the vending machine in the lobby, inserted coins to buy a can of coffee, and stared at the pull tab on the can in a daze.

A few hours earlier, he had called Kenji Hagiwara and class president Wataru Date, and both of them were unharmed, and there was no bomb nearby that the masked man had mentioned.

Kenji Hagiwara is on vacation at his hometown, while squad leader Wataru Date is on another mission.

That guy, damn it!

How did he find out about us? And why did he play us? It couldn't have been just for fun, could it?

Matsuda Jinpei took out his phone and typed a text message: "Second year of graduate school, I saw the person you mentioned wearing the black cat mask."

After hesitating for a moment, he still sent the text message.

...

At the same time, at Longye's home.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xiaolan sat opposite Longye, watching him eat heartily, and smiled gently.

"Delicious! Xiaolan, your cooking skills are getting better and better. You'll definitely be a wonderful wife and mother in the future!"

While eating the curry rice that Xiaolan had made, Longye praised it.

After hearing Longye's answer, Xiaolan's smile widened.

She had been secretly practicing for a long time in order to make this curry rice for Longye.

She made her father act as her "guinea pig" every day, and their family's dinner was curry every single day...

At this moment, Longye was still enjoying his meal with a spoon.

Delicious! Really delicious!

His assessment was not an exaggeration at all. Don't let Xiaolan's current status as only a second-year junior high student fool you; her cooking skills are truly exceptional!

The curry rice tastes even better than the curry from specialty curry shops outside.

Thinking about this, Ryūno actually felt a little envious of Kogoro Mouri.

What good deeds did this guy do in his past life?

Not only did he marry a capable wife, but he also had a lovely daughter who, at a young age, is considerate of her parents, takes care of the family, and can cook.

Well, it’s decided.

I will definitely stand by and watch when Conan stabs me in the future!

Chapter 27: Morofushi Kagemitsu (Part 1)

One month later

"Takeda, the karate tournament is starting soon, right? My mom wants to go cheer you on, is that okay?"

"Are your aunt and uncle back?"

"No, but my mom has already booked her plane ticket. As for my dad... I heard he's working on a new novel and is working day and night, so he probably won't be coming back."

"Okay, remember to thank Aunt Yukiko for me, washing machine~"

Kudo Shinichi: "???"

"What the hell is a washing machine? Why do you have to pronounce it so strangely?"

Shinichi Kudo had just finished complaining when he realized that Ryūno was nowhere to be seen.

A classmate nearby noticed this and reminded him, "Kudo, Takeda and Mori just left."

Upon hearing his classmate's words, Shinichi Kudo twitched his lips helplessly, covered his face, and said, "Damn it, that guy's personality is still so awful!"

Over the years, Ryuno and Shinichi Kudo's relationship has grown increasingly closer. Whenever he has the chance, Ryuno teases the kid.

……

Longye and Xiaolan walked out of the school gate.

"Longye, my mom said she's planning to take us fishing tomorrow, can you come?"

"Of course. But going fishing would take a long time, wouldn't it? Auntie has a lot of cases lately, hasn't she?"

Currently, Eri Kisaki is in the rising phase of her career, and she has won almost all the cases she has taken on.

As a result, she has already gained considerable fame in the legal community, and clients are coming to her in droves to handle their cases.

Under these circumstances, even mealtimes cannot be wasted.

Recently, when she met and dined with Eri Kisaki, she would quickly finish her meal, then immediately say goodbye to Ryuno and Ran, and rush back to her office to handle cases.

Even though Longye hadn't met her many times, he could tell that she was meticulous and serious about her work, truly deserving of the title "Invincible Queen".

“My mom said she just won a case for a boss, and the boss invited her to go fishing at a place he had booked, and she could bring her family along.”

"Oh, I see. Let's go fishing together then! Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"No need, no need, I'll just make some rice balls and take them with me tomorrow. It's settled then, you come find me at 9 a.m. tomorrow, and we'll head to my mom's place together."

"Ok, no problem."

After taking Xiaolan home, Longye headed home.

At this moment, the system beep sounded.

[It is predicted that the bound person, Morofushi Kagemitsu, will face a crisis in three hours.]

"Zhu Fu Jingguang?"

Longye was pleasantly surprised by the sudden system notification, as he hadn't triggered this special mission in a long time.

The last bombing incident failed to trigger the mission for various reasons, and the reward that should have been obtained was lost.

However, Longye wasn't flustered, after all, this group of five from the police academy... tsk tsk tsk~

Putting aside everything else, in the original work, apart from Rei Furuya who is still alive, all the rest of the five of them died in battle.

This isn't some police academy five-man group, this is a veritable "death squad"!

And sure enough, Morofushi Kagemitsu immediately jumped out…

After saving him, the reward I receive will certainly be quite good.

After all, he must have some special skills to be able to infiltrate the distillery and even gain a "drinking reputation".

Thinking of this, Longye looked at the location marked on the system map.

It's actually located within the city, not too far away.

...

On the rooftop of an office building

The two men are looking at each other.
