Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Outside the door, the postman smiled and handed him a letter.

Conan took the letter, his gaze falling on the envelope, and a strange unease welled up in his heart.

The envelope had no sender's address, only his name, written simply and hastily in black ink.

Back in his room, Conan sat down and carefully opened the envelope, as if it contained a bomb that could explode at any moment.

The letter contained only a few short lines, the handwriting crooked and messy, yet they struck his heart like a heavy hammer: "The remnants of the Black Organization still exist, and they are plotting an even more terrible conspiracy. Your so-called victory is only temporary." Conan frowned, his eyes instantly becoming wary and worried.

He knew the Black Organization all too well. This dark force, like a malignant tumor clinging to the bone, would never give up easily even if it suffered heavy losses. Like a malignant tumor hidden in the abyss of darkness, it would stir up trouble again as long as there was a glimmer of opportunity.

Conan knew that this matter was urgent, so he quickly picked up the phone and contacted Cao Yu, Amuro Tooru, and others.

The call connected, and Conan told them the contents of the anonymous letter in detail. There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, followed by Cao Yu's serious voice: "It seems that the Black Organization has not been completely wiped out after all. This new conspiracy is probably not well-intentioned..." Cao Yu's expression must have been solemn at this moment. Conan could even imagine him clenching his fists tightly, his eyes burning with anger towards the darkness.

After a moment of contemplation, Amuro Tooru calmly said, "The appearance of this letter is by no means accidental; there must be a deeper secret behind it."

"We must launch a full investigation as soon as possible to find out what they are plotting. We must not let their conspiracy succeed." Conan nodded. Although Amuro Tooru could not see them, their determination was tightly linked through the radio waves at this moment.

However, Cao Yu was facing a thorny and dangerous problem at this time.

He discovered that his ability to merge with the "Key of Light" was becoming seriously unstable.

He once controlled the light of purification with the same ease as commanding a close companion, making its dazzling radiance move at his will.

But recently, this force has been like a wild horse, frequently becoming disordered.

Sometimes, when he is least prepared, the light of purification will suddenly erupt without warning, and its powerful energy will rampage through everything around it; while at other times, when he needs power the most, the light of purification seems to fall into a deep sleep and cannot exert its due power.

Cao Yu once again tried to mobilize his power, attempting to re-establish the tacit understanding he once had with the "Key of Light".

Chapter 186 Completely Out of Control

However, that once-familiar energy was now rampaging through his body, completely out of control.

His body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his collar.

Cao Yu knew that if this situation continued, not only would it not be able to play a role in the future confrontation with the Black Organization, but the loss of control of his power could also cause irreparable and serious consequences for himself and those around him.

"Could it be that the fierce battle with the Black Organization caused potential damage to his body?" Cao Yu pondered to himself, every possibility flashing through his mind.

In order to find a solution, Cao Yu immediately thought of Ai Haibara.

As a genius in the field of scientific research, Ai Haibara, with her outstanding wisdom and in-depth research on various mysterious forces, may be able to help him find the root cause of 02's problems and resolve this crisis.

Cao Yu rushed to Ai Haibara's temporary laboratory. The laboratory was filled with a faint smell of chemical reagents, and various sophisticated instruments were flashing with light, casting strange light and shadow on the white walls.

Seeing Cao Yu's anxious expression, Ai Haibara already understood the situation.

“Cao Yu, this kind of unstable ability is indeed very troublesome.” Ai Haibara’s expression was solemn, she knew the seriousness of the problem. “I need to conduct a series of detailed and comprehensive examinations on you to determine the specific cause.” As she spoke, she led Cao Yu to a huge testing table.

Cao Yu lay on the testing table, and the surrounding instruments slowly started up, emitting a buzzing sound, as if a sleeping giant was being awakened.

Complex and mysterious data kept flashing on the screen, like enigmatic code waiting to be deciphered.

After a long and meticulous examination, Ai Haibara frowned deeply, her eyes fixed intently on the analysis results.

After a long silence, she slowly spoke: "According to the data, during your fusion with the Key of Light, the energy impact you experienced may have been too strong, causing the energy balance in your body to be completely disrupted."

If this imbalance is not corrected in time, it is highly likely to trigger an energy runaway over time, and once that happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Cao Yu's heart sank suddenly, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his mind.

He asked anxiously, "Is there any solution?" Ai Haibara pondered for a moment, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes, and slowly said, "I need some time to conduct in-depth research, and perhaps I can find a way to stabilize the energy."

"But during this time, you must try to avoid overusing your abilities. Any unnecessary energy mobilization may exacerbate this imbalance." Cao Yu nodded helplessly. He understood that at this moment, he could only place his hopes on Ai Haibara, while also being extra careful not to let the situation worsen.

Meanwhile, Conan, Amuro Tooru, and others have already begun their intensive investigation into the remaining forces of the Black Organization.

They started with anonymous letters, trying to find clues from details such as the paper material and the characteristics of the handwriting.

However, these clues seemed to have been carefully manipulated by an invisible hand. The paper was of the most common type, without any special 527 markings, and the handwriting was deliberately disguised, leaving no traceable flaws.

"It seems the other party was very cautious and didn't leave any useful information," Conan said with a hint of helplessness. He pushed up his glasses, and a trace of resentment was revealed in his eyes behind the lenses.

Amuro Tooru calmly stated, "We cannot limit ourselves to this letter. The Black Organization has always been cunning. We must start by examining their past activities and connections, peeling back the layers, and perhaps we can find a breakthrough."

So they began an investigation that raced against time.

Conan and Amuro Tooru spent their days buried in mountains of documents, meticulously examining every detail about the Black Organization, from past criminal records to member information, leaving no possible clue unchecked.

Chapter 187 Suspicious Personnel

At the same time, they also used their extensive network of contacts to contact police and intelligence agencies in various places to gather all information related to the remnants of the Black Organization.

The telephone rang incessantly, the fax machine kept spitting out papers, and the whole room was filled with a tense and busy atmosphere.

After several days and nights of hard work, they finally discovered some clues.

Intelligence indicates that some suspicious individuals have recently appeared in a remote town.

These people act suspiciously, always choosing to operate late at night when all is quiet, and their modus operandi is extremely similar to that of the Black Organization in the past.

Conan and Amuro Tooru exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly, and decided to personally go to the town to conduct an in-depth investigation.

When they arrived in the town, a sense of oppression washed over them.

The streets of the small town were deserted, with only a few pedestrians hurrying by, their eyes revealing vigilance and fear.

The residents seemed wary of strangers, and whenever Conan and Amuro Tooru approached, they would quickly dart away like startled rabbits.

"It seems there's more to this than meets the eye. The residents seem to be frightened by something," Conan said in a low voice, keenly sensing the strange atmosphere permeating the town.

They first went to the town's police station and identified themselves and their purpose to the local police.

The police chief looked troubled, sighed, and said, "Some strange things have indeed happened."

Recently, strange noises have been coming from the abandoned factory outside the town, like the roar of machines or the howl of some kind of creature.

Some people have also seen men in black loitering in the area, but every time we go to investigate, we find nothing. Those men in black vanish without a trace, like ghosts.

Conan and Amuro Tooru exchanged a glance, their doubts deepening.

They decided to sneak into the abandoned factory at dusk to find out what was going on.

As the sun gradually sank in the west, a blood-red hue appeared on the horizon, as if casting an ominous shadow over this unknown adventure.

They cautiously approached the abandoned factory, whose gates were half-closed, creaking and groaning as if telling a story of its former glory and present ruin.

Upon entering the factory, a putrid stench assaulted the senses, making one want to vomit.

The machinery and equipment were overturned and dilapidated, resembling lurking beasts in the dim light, exuding a sinister aura.

They proceeded cautiously along the dusty passage, each step light, as if afraid of making a sound that might alert the enemy hiding in the shadows.

Suddenly, a low murmur of conversation broke the silence.

Conan and Amuro Tooru quickly hid behind a pile of dilapidated machines. They saw several men in black gathered together, seemingly discussing something important.

"The boss said that this plan must succeed and there can be no more mistakes."

"The last failure already cost us dearly. If we mess this up again, no one will be spared." A burly man in black said in a low voice, his tone revealing a hint of anxiety and fear.

"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan."

Once we have collected enough samples, we can move on to the next step.

"Then, the whole world will be under our control," another man in black replied, his voice tinged with smugness and madness.

Conan and Amuro Tooru listened to their conversation, their hearts filled with doubt.

Samples? What kind of samples are they collecting? How is this intricately connected to the Black Organization's new conspiracy? Just as they were pondering this, one of the men in black seemed to sense something and suddenly shouted, "Someone's here!" Conan and Amuro Tooru knew their whereabouts had been exposed, and without hesitation, they got up and began fighting with the men in black.

These men in black were clearly well-trained, skilled in combat, and ruthless.

They worked together seamlessly and quickly surrounded Conan and Amuro Tooru.

Chapter 188 Materials Required for the Recipe

With his agility and exceptional intelligence, Conan skillfully evaded the attacks of the men in black while searching for their weaknesses, and occasionally launched powerful counterattacks.

Amuro Tooru then demonstrated his superb espionage skills; every movement was concise and deadly, his punches and kicks raining down on the man in black like a storm.

After a fierce fight, Conan and Amuro Tooru successfully subdued the man in black.

However, when they tried to ask the man in black about his plans, he bit down on the poison hidden in his mouth, a trickle of black blood spilled from the corner of his lips, and he died on the spot.

"Damn it, they succeeded again." Amuro Tooru said with some annoyance, looking at the dead man in black, his heart filled with helplessness.

Conan looked at the corpse on the ground and said calmly, "Although we couldn't get any information out of them, at least we know that they were indeed planning something, and that the plan was related to collecting samples."

This is an important clue; we cannot be discouraged.

Back at their lodgings, Conan and Amuro Tooru recounted their discoveries in town to Cao Yu and the others in detail.

The group sat together, the atmosphere heavy.

Everyone realized that the Black Organization's new conspiracy was gradually coming to light, but the purpose of their sample collection and the full picture of their plan were still unclear.

It's like groping in the dark; you see a glimmer of light, but the road ahead is still full of unknowns and dangers.

Meanwhile, Cao Yu's unstable abilities are becoming increasingly serious.

Once, while he was conducting a simple ability test at the training ground, the Purifying Light suddenly went out of control.

A powerful beam of energy shot out from his hand, striking the wall of the training ground like a cannonball and instantly blasting a huge hole in it.

Bricks and stones flew and dust rose.

Looking at the devastated training ground, Cao Yu was filled with anxiety and self-blame.

"If this continues, not only will I be unable to help, but I may also become a burden to everyone," Cao Yu said remorsefully, a hint of despair in his eyes.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ai Haibara rushed over with some news.

“While conducting in-depth research on the data left behind by the Black Organization, I discovered a formula for an energy stabilizer that may be related to Cao Yu’s abilities,” Ai Haibara said, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"This formula may help you stabilize your abilities, but some of the ingredients are very rare and simply cannot be found in ordinary places."

We need to find them; this might be the key to solving the problem.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sprang into action.

They used all available channels and connections to search for the ingredients needed for the formula.

During this process, they received help from some kind-hearted people. Some provided valuable clues, while others donated their own collections of rare materials.

However, they also encountered covert obstruction from the Black Organization.

The Black Organization seemed to have noticed their actions and sent assassins to attack them in an attempt to prevent them from finding the materials.

But Conan, Cao Yu, and the others did not back down in the slightest.

With unwavering faith and tenacious perseverance, they turned danger into safety time and time again.

After some twists and turns, they finally gathered all the materials.

Ai Haibara immediately began making the energy stabilizer according to the recipe.

In the laboratory, she was completely focused on mixing various materials, her eyes fixed intently on the reagent bottles in her hands, every movement precise and cautious.

Time slipped by in the tense atmosphere, and after several hours of effort, a faintly glowing pill finally appeared in her hand.

"Cao Yu, take this now and see how it works." Ai Haibara handed the pill to Cao Yu, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Cao Yu took it without hesitation. After a moment, he felt the chaotic energy in his body gradually calm down, like the surging waves gradually receding.

Chapter 189 A Long-Awaited Smile

He tried to mobilize the light of purification, and this time, the energy obeyed his command and was released smoothly, its light brilliant and stable.

"We did it!" Cao Yu said excitedly, a long-lost smile finally appearing on his face.

With Cao Yu's abilities resolved, everyone's confidence soared.

They continued their investigation into the Black Organization's new plot, and based on clues they had previously gathered in the town, they tracked down to a mysterious base located deep in the mountains.

The base is hidden in the dense forest of "527" and is surrounded by various advanced defense facilities.

The towering walls, the dense network of cameras, and the hidden traps all demonstrate the importance and danger of this base.

Conan and the others knew that this place must be an important stronghold of the remnants of the Black Organization, and also the key to unraveling the new conspiracy.

"This time, we must completely expose the Black Organization's conspiracy and wipe them out in one fell swoop," Cao Yu said with a determined look in his eyes, his words filled with resolve.

Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that this would be an arduous and protracted battle, but for the sake of world peace and tranquility, they had no way out.
