Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Chapter 197 A Thrilling Battle

"I'll be careful, and I have some connections and experience in the Black Organization, so maybe I can find an opportunity." Amuro Tooru's tone was calm and firm, and his eyes gleamed with confidence.

He understood the risks of the operation, but he was fearless for the sake of his friends and justice.

Amuro Tooru began to prepare methodically.

He fully mobilized his vast intelligence network, like casting an invisible net, to gather every minute clue about the Black Organization's remnants' operation.

After much hard work, he finally learned that the remnants of the Black Organization and an international crime syndicate had chosen an abandoned offshore oil rig as the location for their transaction.

This platform is isolated in the high seas, surrounded by the vast ocean. The surrounding terrain is complex and varied, with numerous reefs and extremely strong defenses. It is filled with advanced monitoring equipment and armed personnel, making it a natural fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After everything was ready, night fell slowly like a huge black curtain.

Amuro Tooru boarded a small speedboat alone and, under the cover of night, headed towards the mysterious and dangerous abandoned oil well platform.

The sea was calm and the moonlight, like a silver veil, sprinkled on the surface, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

However, Amuro Tooru's heart was heavy, knowing full well that beneath this calm exterior lay the Black Organization's deadly intent.

What awaits him is a thrilling and fierce battle.

As the speedboat drew closer to the platform, Amuro Tooru's keen intuition detected hidden sentries in the vicinity.

These sentries are like venomous snakes lurking in the darkness, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

He carefully maneuvered the speedboat, cleverly avoiding the sight of the sentries by using the undulations of the sea and the shadows cast by the moonlight.

Then, relying on his excellent diving skills, he dived underwater like a nimble dolphin and swam towards the bottom of the platform.

The bottom of the platform is covered with a variety of intricate pipes and supports, resembling a huge steel maze.

Amuro Tooru climbed these structures silently, like an agile gecko.

His heart tightened, and he quickly hid behind a thick pipe.

Through the gaps in the pipes, he saw two members of the black-clad organization patrolling and talking in hushed tones.

"If this operation succeeds, we'll make a fortune."

"If Cao Yu really does what the boss says, the world will definitely be in chaos, and then we can take advantage of the situation to make a fortune." One of the burly members in black had a greedy smile on his face, his eyes gleaming with a desire for wealth.

"Hmph, I'm just afraid that guy won't cooperate."

However, the leader had already devised a plan: if Cao Yu disobeyed, he would kill the two hostages first. Another member snorted coldly, his tone revealing a hint of cruelty and ruthlessness.

Amuro Tooru was startled, knowing that time was of the essence and that the lives of Hua Lao and Ashida Kenan were in imminent danger.

After the two members left, he quickened his climb and finally made it to the platform.

The platform was dimly lit, resembling a dark jungle.

Abandoned equipment and containers were everywhere, appearing particularly eerie and terrifying under the cover of night.

Amuro Tooru moved forward cautiously, taking each step with extreme care, afraid of making the slightest sound to alert the enemy.

Based on his deep understanding of the Black Organization's modus operandi and his keen intuition, he deduced that the hostages might be being held in a large building at the center of the platform.

As he approached the building, he found the surrounding defenses to be even tighter.

Several members of the black-clad organization stood guard at the entrance, watching their every move vigilantly like loyal guardians.

Amuro Tooru hid behind a shipping container, carefully observing the enemy's patterns of movement.

Chapter 198 The Coming Storm

He discovered that the guards rotated every so often, with a brief gap of a few seconds between shifts.

This brief moment may be his only chance to enter the building.

Amuro Tooru decides to take the risk.

When the time for the shift change arrived quietly, he moved as swiftly as a ghost.

His figure flashed through the darkness, and with his superb fighting skills, he knocked out all the guards at the door in a matter of seconds.

The entire process was clean and efficient, without making a single unnecessary sound.

He then entered the building silently.

The building's interior was dark and damp, filled with a pungent smell of machine oil and decay, making it nauseating.

Amuro Tooru walked along the narrow and dimly lit passage, each step feeling as if he were stepping on unknown fears.

Suddenly, he heard a faint groan, a weak and painful sound, as if it came from an endless abyss.

He was overjoyed and followed the sound, finally finding Hua Lao and Lu Tian Kainan tied up in a room.

The two looked extremely weak, covered in wounds, clearly having suffered cruel torture at the hands of the enemy.

But they were still conscious, and their eyes shone with a resolute light.

“Mr. Amuro… why are you here… it’s too dangerous…” Old Hua said with difficulty when he saw Amuro Tooru, his voice filled with weakness and worry.

"Don't speak, I'll take you out." Amuro Tooru quickly walked to the two of them and untied the ropes binding them.

Just then, there was a sudden noisy sound outside.

Footsteps and shouts mingled together, as if foreshadowing an approaching storm.

"Oh no, we might have been discovered," Amuro Tooru said alertly.

He quickly led Hua Lao and Ashida Kenan in another direction.

Sure enough, the members of the Black Organization noticed the anomaly and began searching the building.

They are as sharp as hunting dogs, leaving no corner unchecked.

Amuro Tooru leads the two through a maze of passages, engaging in a thrilling game of hide-and-seek with the enemy.

"They must be around here. Search carefully!" a leader-like man shouted, his voice echoing through the passageway, filled with anger and anxiety.

Amuro Tooru dodged the enemies while searching for an exit.

However, the number of enemies increased, surging in like a tide, gradually driving them into a desperate situation.

Just when they were at their wits' end, Amuro Tooru discovered an entrance to the basement.

The entrance is hidden behind a pile of clutter and is difficult to spot without careful observation.

“Let’s go down from here,” Amuro Tooru said, his tone decisive.

The three of them went down the stairs to the basement and found it filled with all sorts of odds and ends and old equipment.

··Requesting 0 flowers····

Dust swirled in the dim light, as if telling tales of the place's vicissitudes and silence.

Amuro Tooru searched around the basement and finally discovered a hidden ventilation duct.

The pipe opening was narrow and dark, as if leading to another unknown world.

“We’ll get out of here,” Amuro Tooru said.

He first helped Hua Lao and Lu Tian Kainan into the ventilation duct, and then climbed in himself.

The ventilation ducts were narrow and stuffy, like a giant steamer.

The three of them crawled inside with great difficulty, each step requiring tremendous effort.

The black-clad organization members behind them also discovered the entrance to the basement and began to chase after them.

Their shouts echoed through the pipes like the roar of demons, chilling everyone to the bone.

"Quick, they're in the ventilation ducts! Don't let them get away!" the enemy shouted from behind, his voice filled with urgency and resentment.

Amuro Tooru and the others quickened their crawling speed, their clothes soaked with sweat.

Finally, they found the exit at the end of the pipe.

The exit leads to the other side of the platform, not far from the sea.

Amuro Tooru, along with Hua Lao and Ashida Keinan, quickly ran towards the sea.

However, the members of the Black Organization relentlessly pursued them.

Chapter 199 A police siren sounded in the distance

Just as they were about to reach the beach, Amuro Tooru suddenly turned around and used the weapons he was carrying to engage in a fierce gunfight with the enemy.

Bullets rained down on him, sparks flying everywhere.

Amuro Tooru was agile and had excellent marksmanship, making it impossible for the enemy to get close for a time.

However, the enemy was numerous, and reinforcements kept arriving, wave after wave, like a tide, and Amuro Tooru gradually began to struggle.

Just as Amuro Tooru was in trouble, the sound of a police siren, "527," came from afar.

The sound was like a horn of hope, piercing the dark night sky.

It turns out that Conan and the others realized that Amuro Tooru might be in danger, and quickly contacted the police and the FBI for assistance.

When the remaining members of the Black Organization saw the police and FBI ships coming like black behemoths cutting through the waves, they knew that all was lost and scattered and fled.

Taking advantage of the situation, Amuro Tooru led Hua Lao and Ashida Keinan onto the police boat and successfully escaped danger.

After returning to a safe area, the group reviewed the incident.

They were acutely aware that the remnants of the Black Organization had become even more dangerous and cunning after colluding with international criminal groups.

Their conspiracy is like thorns hidden in the darkness, threatening to bring deadly harm to the world at any moment.

"It seems we need to be even more careful from now on. The Black Organization will definitely come up with other schemes." Cao Yu said solemnly, his eyes revealing vigilance and determination.

"That's right, but we won't just sit here and wait to die."

"We must take the initiative, find out their next plan as soon as possible, and wipe them out completely," Conan said firmly, his eyes shining with determination.

After this incident, Conan, Cao Yu, Amuro Tooru, and others became even more determined to fight against the Black Organization.

They knew full well that the road ahead was full of thorns and challenges, but for the sake of world peace and tranquility, they would go forward without hesitation and fight one arduous battle after another against the forces of darkness.

After this shady deal between the remnants of the Black Organization and the international crime syndicate failed, they will inevitably be enraged and brew an even more terrifying conspiracy. A greater crisis may be quietly approaching...

As time went on, Conan and his friends did not let their guard down because of their temporary victory. Instead, they devoted themselves even more wholeheartedly to their in-depth investigation into the connection between the remnants of the Black Organization and international criminal groups.

Like keen hunters, they didn't miss a single clue. Through a series of complex and covert intelligence gathering efforts, they gradually uncovered the tip of the iceberg of the two dark forces' even larger and more sinister plans.

This plan is like a demon lurking in the depths of darkness, sending chills down one's spine.

It involves a new type of biological and chemical weapon, which, once successfully developed and put into use, will pose an incalculable threat to global security.

The remnants of the Black Organization are attempting to leverage the vast resources and extensive channels of international criminal groups to acquire rare materials needed to manufacture biological weapons.

These materials are extremely rare globally and are subject to strict control, but the Black Organization and international criminal groups have resorted to any means necessary, including smuggling and theft, to gradually assemble the materials they need.

Conan, Cao Yu, and the others knew that their time was running out.

They must race against time to locate and destroy the Black Organization and international criminal groups' secret base before they finish manufacturing the weapons, thus preventing this global catastrophe.

Thus began a race against time.

During this tense investigation, Ai Haibara played a crucial role thanks to her outstanding expertise in scientific research and her deep understanding of the Black Organization.

Like a wise puzzle solver, she gradually pieced together the possible location of the Black Organization's secret base from seemingly unrelated and insignificant clues.

Chapter 200 An Excellent Hidden Location

After in-depth analysis and rigorous reasoning, she concluded that the secret base was most likely hidden in a remote mountainous area.

This mountainous area has a complex terrain, with undulating mountains stretching as far as the eye can see, like the spine of the earth.

The dense jungle, blocking out the sun, resembles a green ocean.

The terrain here is treacherous and the roads are rugged, making it an excellent hiding place.

Moreover, according to the intelligence gathered, suspicious supply transport vehicles have been frequently appearing here recently.

These vehicles always operate at night, their movements are secretive, and the goods they transport are tightly wrapped, never revealing themselves to anyone.

These unusual phenomena further confirmed Ai Haibara's suspicions that the secret base was likely hidden in this mysterious mountainous region.

Conan, Cao Yu, Amuro Tooru, and others quickly formulated a detailed and meticulous action plan in response to this situation.

They joined forces with the police and the FBI to assemble an elite special forces unit.

The members of this special forces unit are all highly skilled and experienced, selected from among many elites.
