Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

“That’s right, that’s how it is.” Kondo nodded.

"So, if others find out about this... the fact that those people who should have died long ago are actually still alive will be exposed. They're probably using this to threaten you, right?"

"You're right about everything, but... who exactly are you?"

Upon hearing this familiar question, Conan's smile stretched to his ears. "I am Conan Edogawa, a detective!"

After saying that, Conan continued, "Going back to the previous topic, I think the worst person should be—'the resourceful A-Chen'!"

“What? But he’s already…” Kondo frowned.

"Yes, I understand. But I already stuck the transmitter on him back in the bathhouse."

"A transmitter?!"

Conan pulled a tiny gray transmitter from his pocket and showed it to Kondo. "Yeah, it looks like this. Also, my glasses are actually receivers."

The next second, Conan pressed the button on the temple of his glasses, and a spider web-like image immediately appeared on the lens.

Upon seeing all this, Kondo froze on the spot, a bewildered expression on his face.

For some reason, he always felt that this kid in front of him was more like an assassin... no, a secret agent...

Seeing that Kondo had grasped the situation, Conan continued, "Just like we initially thought, that 'A-Chen' should have been killed by that woman. But this morning when I put on my glasses, I noticed that person was moving!"

Upon hearing this, Kondo finally understood.

No wonder Conan suddenly told him this morning after he got dressed that he knew who the worst person behind the scenes was.

“I had been observing, and right after we left the villa, that ‘Achen’ walked into the villa.”

"But now his signal is beyond the glasses' detection range, so it seems he went somewhere else after returning to the villa."

"For us, the most important thing right now is how to deal with that bomb!"

"..."

……

Downstairs in the apartment building opposite 'Kondo the Killer's' office building.

After parking his motorcycle, Ryūno led Ran into the apartment building.

As the elevator ascended, Ran asked doubtfully, "Ryuno, is Kanae really here?"

"Yes, it should be right." Longye nodded.

The two had a premonition when they were still at the agency.

Miss Kanae's phone is suddenly unreachable; something must have happened.

Because Ryūno had previously recorded Ms. Kanae's information, he immediately located her position on the system map.

He saw on the system map that Ms. Kanae's location had been moving until recently when she stopped at this apartment.

This apartment building is right across from the office building that Ms. Kanae took them to yesterday.

A moment later, the elevator doors opened.

At Longye's prompting, the two lowered their pace and walked to the door of an apartment building.

After confirming that everything was correct, Longye took out a wire from his pocket and gently 'opened' the door.

Although she had seen Longye pick locks before, Xiaolan still felt her heart pounding.

The next moment, the two quietly entered the room.

At that moment, a cheerful voice came from a room not far away:

"Miss Kanae, you probably never expected this, did you? Your husband is actually a legendary assassin!"

"But don't worry, both your husband and you... will be taken care of by us~"

After speaking, the man looked down at the computer screen on the table, a smile of excitement spreading across his face.

Once everything is over, he can use this reward to live a carefree life for the rest of his days.

As for the so-called guilt, it will all be borne by 'Kondo'!

He has secretly placed the information related to the murder plan into Kondo's 'secret room'. With so much evidence, the police will definitely believe that Kondo committed all of this!

Anyway, Kondo was already dead by then.

With no one to corroborate the story, even if the police had some doubts, they could only conclude that it was all done by the 'legendary killer Kondo'.

Thinking of this, the man stared intently at the monitor on the computer screen, his eyes filled with excitement.

Just then, a mocking whisper sounded beside the man:

"Sir, what are you looking at? You seem quite engrossed!"

The sudden sound startled the man, who immediately looked up to see a strange young man staring at him with a smile.

Before the man could react, Longye grabbed his head and slammed it hard onto the table.

--"Bang!!"

After a muffled thud, the man instantly lost consciousness and collapsed into the dent in the table.

"Miss Kanae, are you alright?!"

Ran walked up to Kanae, bent down to remove the tape from her mouth, and untied the ropes binding her.

After regaining her senses, Ms. Kanae looked at Ryūno and Ran in front of her and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had survived a disaster.

The next moment, Miss Kanae used her hands to support herself on the ground, preparing to get up and thank Ryuno and the other person.

However, due to being frightened, she struggled several times but could not stand up.

Seeing this, Xiaolan quickly reached out to help him up.

After thanking Ryūno and the other person, Ms. Kanae told them what had happened.

After receiving a call from Kogoro Mouri, she suddenly received a call from the man in front of her.

The person on the phone told her about her husband's identity and asked her to come downstairs right now.

After she went downstairs, this person drugged her.

When she opened her eyes again, she was here.

After understanding what had happened, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Ryūno and she arrived in time; otherwise, Miss Kanae might have been killed by this man.

After taking Ran and Kanae to the nearby police station and telling Kogoro Mouri about it, Tatsuno took the man's phone and rode his motorcycle onto the highway.

……

Shortly after

Kondo drove Conan to the dilapidated apartment building where his friend lived.

Although they already knew that 'that person' was Ah Chen, the troublesome thing was the bomb in the bag.

In order to find a way to deal with the bomb, Kondo came up with a solution.

That means finding someone to impersonate him, and then having him take the opportunity to smuggle the bomb to another location.

Just as the two stepped out of the car and were about to walk up the apartment stairs, Longye stopped his motorcycle in front of them.

Unlike Kondo's confusion, Conan was overjoyed by Ryuno's appearance. "Damn it, you're way too late!"

The next second, Kondo saw the strange young man who had suddenly appeared walk up to Conan and raise his right fist.

--"Bang"

"what!!!"

Chapter 368 The Real and Fake Hawaii

Conan shed a few tears from the pain in his eyes. He covered the bump on his head with his hand and looked up at Ryuno with dissatisfaction.

"You bastard, come here... uh..."

Halfway through his story, Conan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine at the corner of Ryūno's mouth.

To avoid being harmed a second time, Conan immediately changed the subject and told Tatsuno about what he and Kondo had encountered in the past two days and their current situation.

After listening to Conan's description, a look of understanding flashed in Ryūno's eyes.

So far, this event is almost exactly as he remembers it.

The ultimate goal of this group should be to eliminate someone in the 'red brick warehouse' using bombs.

Although he had long forgotten who their target was, last night in Kondo's "secret room," besides the information about the "red brick warehouse" and the "bomb," they also had a profile of a person.

The people mentioned in that document were none other than the family of 'Prime Minister Babiu of Nepal,' who had recently arrived in Tokyo.

Since the purpose is to pin the final blame on this 'assassin Kondo' in front of us, this information is extremely reliable.

But now, none of that matters anymore.

"Mr. Kondo, just drive Conan to the red brick warehouse as planned. Give me the bomb in the bag."

Kondo: "???"

Looking at the smiling young man who had just appeared opposite him, Kondo suddenly had a strong feeling of 'Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?'

After listening to Conan's conversation with the young man named Ryūno, he also remembered the 'guy' Conan had mentioned last night.

Judging from the appearance, this young man is the person Conan mentioned.

Putting aside how this young man found them, why could he so casually say, "Give me the bomb"?

Unlike Kondo's confusion, after hearing Ryuno's words, Conan went straight back to the car and handed the cookie jar containing the bomb to Ryuno.

The next moment, to Kondo's horrified gaze, Tatsuno opened the biscuit jar and took out the bomb inside.

"These guys may be newbies, but they've actually put some thought into it! Looks like there's someone in their group who knows a lot about electronic devices."

Longye glanced at the bomb in his hand and chuckled softly.

Conan joined in, "Why do you say that?"

"The 'remote control switch' on the bomb is very well made. It can not only avoid weak electromagnetic interference, but also be remotely operated from a very long distance."

At this point, Ryūno reached into his pocket and pulled out a small pair of scissors, cutting a red wire off the bomb right in front of Conan and the other person.
