Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Upon returning to his secluded and secure base, Amuro Tooru didn't dare to waste a moment and immediately threw himself into the task of hacking the communication equipment.

He sat at the table, his fingers flying across the keyboard like nimble dancers, producing a series of dense and crisp sounds.

His eyes were fixed on the screen, his gaze revealing determination and focus, as if he wanted to see right through it.

Fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead without him noticing, slowly sliding down his cheeks, but he was completely unaware of it, as all his attention was focused on the highly encrypted communication device in front of him.

Each layer of the code he cracked was like climbing a steep and treacherous mountain, fraught with difficulties, as if an invisible force was desperately trying to prevent him from getting closer to the truth.

Chapter 339, Imperceptible Urgency

But Amuro Tooru, with his exceptional technical skills and unwavering determination, like a fearless explorer, ventured deeper and deeper, step by step, with difficulty yet steadfast resolve.

After a long and intense effort, as if time had stood still, he finally succeeded in obtaining some valuable information.

The words "Twilight Project" struck him like a bolt of lightning across the night sky, instantly arousing his high alert.

From those vague and fragmented pieces of information, he carefully pieced together some clues like a jigsaw puzzle master.

These clues seem to subtly suggest the existence of a mole within the Metropolitan Police Department's upper echelons, who is colluding with this criminal group like two venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, working together to plot treachery.

This discovery is undoubtedly a powerful bombshell, making the already complex situation even more perplexing, as if we've fallen into an even deeper and more complicated labyrinth.

Amuro Tooru was well aware of the seriousness of the matter, and it felt like a heavy burden on his heart. He dared not delay for even a moment.

He immediately took out his communication device and contacted a few colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department whom he absolutely trusted.

Although he tried to keep his voice calm, it still revealed a hint of barely perceptible urgency.

He arranged to meet them at a very secluded location, an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

This abandoned factory had been deserted for many years, surrounded by desolate and overgrown weeds, as if it were a forgotten corner of the world, making it perfect for secret discussions.

When colleagues arrived one after another, everyone had a solemn expression on their face.

Amuro Tooru told them in detail and comprehensively about everything he had discovered, from the striking similarity of the badges to the clues about "Project Twilight" obtained from the communication devices.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions froze instantly, and shock and solemnity enveloped their hearts like dark clouds.

“If there really is a mole within the ranks, then our operations will be restricted in many ways, and a lot of classified information may have already been leaked,” a colleague said worriedly, his voice trembling slightly, as if he had already foreseen the impending crisis.

"That's right. We don't know the specifics of this Twilight Project, but it's definitely not well-intentioned."

"We must find a way to figure this out as soon as possible, and at the same time find this mole." Amuro Tooru said with a serious expression, his eyes revealing a firm determination, as if he were declaring war on this enemy hidden in the shadows.

They sat together, the atmosphere tense and oppressive.

Everyone knew that they were facing an unprecedented and severe challenge.

After a heated discussion, with various viewpoints and solutions colliding in the air, they finally decided to split into several groups.

A group of people were tasked with secretly investigating unusual behavior among personnel within the Metropolitan Police Department, especially high-ranking officers who had access to classified information and whose recent behavior was somewhat suspicious.

Like keen hunting dogs, they sniffed out any unusual scent among the crowd; others continued to investigate the criminal organization, trying to find more clues related to "Project Twilight" by tracking its activities and personnel contacts, like searching for a hidden path in a dark forest.

Amuro Tooru himself decided to infiltrate the criminal organization. With his excellent disguise skills and extraordinary courage, he stepped into the enemy's territory like a brave warrior.

He managed to infiltrate a criminal organization's secret hideout, located within a vast, abandoned tunnel system beneath the city.

It was dark and damp, filled with a putrid smell. The intricate tunnels resembled a huge and terrifying maze, as if every corner concealed unknown dangers.

Amuro Tooru moved cautiously through the base, taking each step with extreme care, trying to avoid the patrolling guards.

His figure moved silently in the darkness like a ghost.

He used his keen observation skills to scrutinize every detail around him, like a scanner.

Even the slightest sound or the most unintentional mark cannot escape his eyes.

In a seemingly ordinary room, yet with a hint of eeriness, he discovered a tattered notebook.

The notebook's pages have yellowed, as if telling the story of the vicissitudes of time.

The document contains hastily scribbled notes of fragments from the meeting, with the phrase "Twilight Project" appearing multiple times.

Chapter 340 The Poor Man Who Stumbled into This Place

From these few words, Amuro Tooru, like a seasoned detective, deduced from the clues that the plan seemed to be related to a large-scale criminal activity.

It could involve stealing important classified documents that may concern national security and the lifeline of the economy; it could also involve damaging critical facilities that would cause enormous chaos and losses to society.

The role of the mole within the Metropolitan Police Department is to provide cover and inside information for the criminal group, like lighting a beacon in the darkness to ensure that their actions are not easily detected, allowing "637" to successfully carry out their evil plans.

Just as Amuro Tooru was preparing to delve deeper into the investigation and try to uncover more secrets, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

The sound, like a surging tide, instantly shattered the silence.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, realizing that he might have been exposed.

He quickly hid the notebook, his eyes anxiously searching for a place to hide.

However, it was too late. A group of criminal gang members rushed towards his room like hungry wolves.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" a man who looked like a leader shouted, the knife in his hand gleaming coldly under the light, like a messenger of death, exuding a deadly threat.

Amuro Tooru quickly considered countermeasures, his brain working like a high-speed machine, analyzing various possibilities in a very short time.

He feigned an innocent and frightened expression, stammering, "I...I'm new here, I got lost and accidentally wandered into this place." His acting was flawless, making him seem like a truly pitiful person who had stumbled into this place.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense! You don't look like a good person, just like how you sneak around."

"Search him!" At the leader's command, several men swarmed forward like vicious dogs.

Knowing he couldn't just sit and wait to die, Amuro Toru suddenly made his move at this critical moment.

He moved with lightning speed, so fast that it was almost impossible to see his movements.

He swiftly seized a weapon from one of his men and, with his superb fighting skills, subdued the approaching men in just a few moves.

However, more enemies rushed in upon hearing the commotion, surrounding the room like a tidal wave.

Their eyes were filled with ferocity and anger, as if they wanted to devour Amuro Tooru alive.

"Who are you? If you don't tell the truth, today is your death day!" the leader roared in a fit of rage, his voice echoing in the room like the howl of a demon.

Amuro Tooru knew that if his identity were exposed at this moment, not only would his own life be in danger, but the entire investigation would also be doomed, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

While maneuvering against the enemy and skillfully dodging their attacks, he nervously pondered a way to escape.

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly critical and seemed to be in dire straits, Amuro Tooru suddenly noticed a vent in the corner of the room.

Although the ventilation opening was small, it was like a ray of dawn in the darkness.

A thought struck him, and seizing the opportunity, he charged towards the ventilation duct like a cheetah.

He moved with agility, like a black shadow, and quickly slipped into the ventilation duct.

The ventilation duct was dark and narrow, filled with a pungent odor.

Members of the criminal gang were in hot pursuit, their curses echoing through the pipes.

However, the narrow ventilation ducts made it difficult for them to move around, and their bodies were restricted by the ducts, preventing them from exerting their full strength. Gradually, Amuro Tooru widened the gap between them and the ducts.

Amuro Tooru crawled desperately through the ventilation duct, each breath filled with tension and urgency.

His hands and knees rubbed against the rough pipe walls, sending shivers of pain through him, but he paid no heed to it.

Finally, after a difficult struggle, he found an exit and successfully escaped the criminal group's stronghold.

He knew that although the operation was extremely dangerous, it had also yielded many crucial clues, like finding a glimmer of hope in the darkest abyss.

Upon returning to the agreed meeting point with his colleagues, Amuro Tooru explained in detail what he had discovered at the base.

4. The group sat together and, based on these new clues, further analyzed the possible contents of "Project Twilight" and the range of possible identities of the mole.

Everyone frowned, their expressions serious, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Colleagues investigating within the Metropolitan Police Department also brought in information about some suspicious individuals.

They meticulously screened and investigated the personnel within the Metropolitan Police Department, like a sieve.

After some effort, they identified several high-ranking personnel whose recent behavior had been somewhat unusual.

Chapter 341 The Unspeakable Secret

One of them, a senior police officer named Sato, attracted their special attention.

Sato has recently been meeting frequently with unidentified individuals at secret locations and at very strange times.

Moreover, his attitude toward some important decisions appears ambiguous, as if he is deliberately avoiding certain key issues, as if he is hiding some unspeakable secret.

Amuro Tooru and his colleagues decide to secretly monitor Sato.

They carefully deployed people around Sato's office and residence, these people like shadows hidden in the dark, closely watching his every move.

Meanwhile, they continued to search for more evidence, groping in the dark, hoping to find the key to unlock the truth and prove that Sato was the mole who colluded with the criminal group.

Over the next few days, the surveillance team remained steadfast in their posts, like loyal guardians.

They finally discovered that there was indeed some connection between Sato and the criminal group.

They photographed Sato secretly meeting with a mid-level executive of the crime syndicate in a secluded coffee shop.

The photos clearly show the two chatting happily, their atmosphere harmonious, like old friends who have known each other for years.

Furthermore, Sato handed the other party a bulging file folder, which seemed to contain important information that might be the key to the criminal group's "Twilight Plan."

However, this evidence alone is not enough to convict Sato.

The law demands irrefutable evidence. They need to find more direct evidence, such as specific communication records or related written documents between Sato and the criminal group regarding the "Twilight Project." These are like the most important pieces of a puzzle; only by finding them can the whole truth be restored.

Amuro Tooru decides to take another risk and sneak into Sato's office to find evidence.

Under the cover of night, like a night stalker, he used his superb infiltration skills to successfully evade the security system like a ghost.

The office was filled with a faint smell of tobacco, and the bookshelves were filled with various documents and books, as if to tell the story of the owner's status and position.

But behind this seemingly ordinary facade, there may be a hidden secret.

Amuro Tooru began to carefully search every place where evidence might be hidden.

He opened the drawer and carefully examined the documents inside, not missing a single sheet of paper; he inspected the filing cabinet, flipping through the documents one by one, his eyes revealing determination and focus; he even looked behind the bookshelves, like a treasure hunter, not overlooking any possible corner.

Just when he was about to give up, he found an encrypted USB drive in a hidden compartment in Sato's desk.

Amuro Tooru was overjoyed. He knew that the USB drive might contain crucial evidence, like seeing a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

He quickly took out the USB drive and began cracking the password using the small decryption device he was carrying.

The process of deciphering the mystery is like finding an exit in a dark maze; every step is fraught with difficulty and challenge.

But after a lot of hard work, he finally succeeded in opening the USB drive.

The files on the USB drive confirmed their suspicions.

It contains detailed records of Sato's collusion with the criminal group, including the specifics of the "Twilight Project".

It turns out that the criminal group planned to steal confidential documents from an upcoming important international conference. These documents might involve core national interests, important international agreements, and more.

They also planned to sabotage the security system at the meeting, causing chaos in order to achieve their ulterior motives.

Sato was responsible for providing them with detailed meeting arrangements, security deployments, and other crucial information to ensure the criminal group's operations could proceed smoothly, essentially opening a door to evil for the criminal group.

Amuro Tooru dared not delay in the slightest. He knew that time was of the essence and that if the news were leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After quickly backing up the evidence on the USB drive, he carefully left Sato's office.

After returning to a safe location, he and his colleagues discussed how to bring Sato and the criminal gang to justice.

They knew that this operation had to be foolproof; otherwise, if they alerted the criminal group, they might implement "Operation Twilight" ahead of schedule, causing a huge disaster to society and irreparable consequences.

After meticulous planning, every detail was carefully considered, and corresponding countermeasures were developed for every possible scenario.

Chapter 342 The Area Where Confidential Files Are Stored

They decided to launch their operation on the eve of the criminal group's plan.

On the day of the operation, the police and Amuro Tooru's team worked closely together, like precise gears, cooperating with each other.

A portion of the police force was tasked with raiding the various strongholds of the criminal group, which were like dens of crime and had to be completely destroyed.

They descended like divine soldiers, swiftly and decisively capturing the main members of the criminal group; another group seized Sato on the spot as he was preparing to hand over the latest intelligence to the criminal group, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Under the powerful offensive of the police, the criminal group was powerless to fight back and was quickly dismantled.

Sato was successfully arrested by the police at his secret hideout. When the cold handcuffs were put on his hands, a look of despair and remorse appeared on his face.
