Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Although Kanagawa Prefecture belongs to Tokyo and is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department.

But since this case already belongs to Kanagawa Prefecture, Inspector Megure and his team naturally cannot snatch it from the other side.

To put it bluntly, Kogoro Mouri's actions could not only offend the police in Kanagawa Prefecture, but also make Inspector Megure and his team make a wasted trip.

"Dad! If you do this..." Ran looked at Kogoro Mouri with concern.

"It's alright, Ran. Uncle Mori didn't actually do anything wrong. Inspector Megure must have known that's why he decided to come." After thinking for a few seconds, Ryuno took Ran's hand.

"Whether it's us, Conan, or the detectives commissioned by Ms. Kanae, aren't we all under Inspector Megure's jurisdiction?" Ryūno chuckled.

Upon hearing Ryūno's words, Mōri Kōgor's expression immediately changed from 'bitter' to 'smiling'.

Although the Yokohama Police Department in Kanagawa Prefecture was indeed investigating the bombing case, the events that followed were indeed related to them.

Therefore, Inspector Megure and his team will neither make a wasted trip nor risk having their case 'stolen'.

Ultimately, these two incidents occurred in 'different regions', so it's understandable that Inspector Megure and his team were working together with the Kanagawa Prefectural Police.

Conan, who was standing to the side, nodded silently after hearing what Ryuno said.

Although Ryūno was right, for some reason, he always felt that Ryūno's methods and way of thinking... didn't seem like those of a good person...

Chapter 370 Fireworks for You

Shortly after, Inspector Megure and his team arrived by car.

Just as Ryūno had predicted, Inspector Megure and the others did not make a wasted trip.

After some communication and discussion, the cases of the 'bomb theft' and 'Kondo the killer' were ultimately handled jointly by the Metropolitan Police Department and the Kanagawa Prefectural Police.

For the police officers in Kanagawa Prefecture, the most important thing right now is to recover the remaining bombs, not the matter of 'Knockout Kondo'.

According to the bomb count reported by the CIA, the bombs hidden in the 'cookie jar' represent only a small fraction of the 'missing bombs,' which is significantly different from the number of stolen bombs.

Shortly after Inspector Megure arrived, the police officers in Kanagawa Prefecture learned the location of the remaining bombs from 'A-Chen' and the others, and immediately dispatched people to retrieve them.

Because the matter of 'Kondo' was somewhat complicated, Inspector Megure asked Kogoro Mouri to return to the Metropolitan Police Department with him to discuss it.

Before leaving, Inspector Megure gave Kondo and Kanae a brief explanation.

Although Kondo is the 'legendary assassin', based on the available intelligence and information, he is actually just an 'escape expert'.

If he didn't actually kill anyone, but only earned money from 'both sides' to help the victim escape.

But to be honest, his crime is hard to define.

He's more of a con artist than a killer.

Moreover, the police cannot disclose his identity and can only handle the matter discreetly.

Over the years, there have been at least eighty to a hundred people who have commissioned this 'assassin Kondo'.

Moreover, these people are not simple characters.

If these people hear rumors like, "Kondo, the assassin, has been arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department, but he didn't actually kill anyone,"...

Those who were 'killed' by Kondo back then will probably all suffer.

Inspector Megure also felt that this matter was very troublesome, and if not handled properly, it could easily lead to unpredictable consequences.

However, Inspector Megure assured Ms. Kondo and Ms. Kanae that he would handle the matter seriously.

Although Inspector Megure didn't say it outright, everyone understood that if nothing unexpected happened, Mr. Kondo's 'detention' time might be unexpectedly short.

Since Kondo and Kanae met, the two have never been apart.

Even while listening to Inspector Megure's explanation, the two held hands tightly.

Seeing this, even Uncle Mori, who felt a little sorry for the couple, couldn't help but offer his blessings.

Kogoro Mouri was going to ride back to the Metropolitan Police Department with Inspector Megure and the others, and Conan was not going to miss this opportunity to go to the Metropolitan Police Department either.

However, just before getting into the car, Conan walked up to Tatsuno and whispered, "Takeda, speaking of which, how did you find me and Mr. Kondo back then?"

Ryūno glanced down at Conan and said seriously, "Conan, no one's behavior is unpredictable. As long as you master probability calculations and thoroughly understand human psychology, and by analyzing the known traits of any individual, you can greatly narrow down the possible range of events."

Conan: "???"

After saying that, Longye turned and walked towards the motorcycle, preparing to take Xiaolan to see a 'grand fireworks display'.

When he heard about bombs before, for some reason, Tatsuno associated them with fireworks.

Ryūno knew that Ran really liked watching fireworks.

However, due to Mika's geographical location and 'time confusion', they rarely have the opportunity to see fireworks.

Although they had attended many fireworks festivals together before, they hadn't been to one in a long time since time "went off track".

After saying goodbye to Uncle Mori and Inspector Megure, Ryuno rode his bicycle away from the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Station with Ran in tow.

After a while, while waiting at a traffic light, Xiaolan tightened her grip on Longye's waist slightly: "Longye, shouldn't we just go home?"

Xiaolan originally thought that Longye was going to take her home directly, but they were clearly not heading in the direction of home.

After asking Longye, Xiaolan looked up at the sky.

Although the helmet obscured part of her vision, it did not prevent her from seeing the sky bathed in the golden light of the setting sun.

Longye turned his head to look at Xiaolan, shook his head, and said nothing.

Because of the helmet, Ran didn't notice the smile on Ryuno's lips.

Soon after, Longye took Xiaolan to the Mihua Restaurant on his bicycle.

Although Xiaolan was a little confused, she didn't know why Longye had suddenly brought her here to eat.

But no matter how she asked, Longye just smiled and shook his head, never giving Xiaolan a direct answer.

Led by the waiter, the two sat down at a window seat on a high floor of the hotel.

After the two placed their order, the waiter left.

Seeing this, Xiaolan's doubts deepened.

Over the years, she has often dined at the Rice Flower Restaurant with Longye.

While Mihana restaurants generally don't require reservations, window seats with panoramic night views are different and usually require advance booking.

When they entered, the receptionist confirmed Longye's identity and brought the two of them directly here, which meant that Longye had made an appointment in advance.

At this moment, in Longye's eyes, Xiaolan, who had a puzzled look on her face, looked adorably cute.

Longye reached out and took Xiaolan's hand, gazing into her beautiful eyes with a gentle yet slightly passionate look, and smiled slightly.

Although still somewhat confused, Xiaolan blinked quickly and looked around shyly after Longye's 'operation'.

Even so, Xiaolan did not take her hand out of Longye's hand; instead, she tightened her grip even more.

The two only let go of each other's hands on the table when they saw the waiter carrying the dishes toward them, so that the waiter could put the dishes on the table.

After the waiter left, Longye snapped his fingers and then smiled, "Look out the window~"

"Ok?"

At Ryūno's prompting, Rin turned to look out the window.

Just as Xiaolan turned her head, colorful fireworks streaked across the night sky like shooting stars, bursting forth with dazzling light.

The once dark and silent night sky instantly became dazzling and colorful.

Reflected in the fireworks, Xiaolan's dark eyes were also tinged with rainbow colors, and her face was filled with a charming and happy smile.

At this moment, Xiaolan finally understood why Longye had suddenly brought her to the Mihua Restaurant for dinner.

The next moment, Xiaolan looked at Longye excitedly, smiling sweetly.

……

same moment

Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters.

Kuroda Hyoue, who was in the middle of an investigation meeting, glanced at his vibrating phone, apologized to everyone, and left the meeting room.

He turned and walked into an empty office before answering the phone.

"Hey, Ueno."

"..."

After the call ended, Kuroda Hyōe put his phone back in his pocket and looked out the window with a furrowed brow.

The call he just received was from his former colleague, Superintendent Ueno.

During the phone call, Ueno told him that in a while, his superiors were planning to transfer him out of Nagano Prefecture.

Kuroda Hyōe stared out the window for a long time before letting out a slow sigh. "The Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division... Ueno, you haven't changed."

Chapter 371 A Silent Black Prelude

Outside Beihu Town.

In a secret base.

Gin and the others sat on a dark brown sofa.

Although the group appeared to be sitting together in a discussion, the atmosphere was not as 'friendly' as it seemed.

After taking a close look at his phone, Gin looked up and scanned everyone present.

His gaze was cold and solemn, and everyone he looked at couldn't help but tense up.

Even vodka broke out in a cold sweat.

Although the eldest brother wasn't a cheerful person, he would occasionally reveal a cold smile.

But ever since the 'Tokyo Tower' incident, the eldest brother has had a stern face.

However, Vodka could understand, since Shuichi Akai somehow found out about their plan.

Not only did they take out Ireland first, but they may even have obtained the organization's undercover memory card.

Although the guy on the memory card wasn't some 'important person,' it was undoubtedly a significant blow to the organization, especially to them.

Moreover, more important than the list of undercover agents is…
