Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

The silence between the two in the hotel room was quickly broken as they began to talk in hushed tones.

"Xiu, Miss Miyano said someone is watching over her. Who do you think it could be?"

The thought of Shiho Miyano refusing their surveillance... no, protection made Judy feel a little strange.

Although she refused FBI protection because of the Vermouth incident, she harbored ambitions for revenge and has now joined the FBI.

But Judy knew she was safe.

After all, even if the people in the organization knew that one person had died less back then, so many years later, they wouldn't connect themselves with that little girl from back then.

But you, Shiho Miyano, are all alone now, and you're still just a child. What can you do?

Shuichi Akai frowned slightly, lost in thought.

After a while, he slowly shook his head and said:

“If we exclude ourselves and the police, then there is only one possibility left—the organization behind Madeira.”

Upon hearing this, Judy looked surprised and asked in confusion:

"An organization? Would an organization protect a traitor?"

Seeing Judy's puzzled look, Shuichi Akai smiled gently and then patiently explained:

"I'm not talking about the organization we know, but other mysterious forces hidden behind Madeira."

As he spoke, Shuichi Akai's smile gradually faded, and his expression became serious.

At that meeting, not only he but also James shared the same view, and they discussed it afterward.

However, Judy was excluded, and she wasn't told.

Shuichi Akai and James both felt that Hyoue Kuroda seemed to be withholding some important information and had not revealed everything.

After all, they are human, not Trisolarans.

Although the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, it is unrealistic to expect them to have complete and unreserved mutual trust.

However, Amuro Tooru already knew that Qi Ming was not dead.

The FBI did not have much suspicion about Qi Ming's death.

They suspected the origin of Qi Ming's equipment, and the possibility that there was another force behind him besides the organization.

They later studied the reasons why Qi Ming chose to commit suicide, even though he could have easily chosen to flee and avoid the battle at that time.

They later came to a conclusion.

Based on the discovery of Qi Ming's body at his home that day, it is suspected to be a result of cloning technology.

For the other organization, which possesses technology that may be a century ahead of the world—

Qi Ming is not important.

One Qi Ming died, but they may have already created thousands upon thousands of clones of Qi Ming.

Of course, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but they'll always bring out someone else to showcase those miraculous technologies later on.

If such a mysterious force does exist, then their actions in protecting Ai Haibara become easier to understand.

After all, Ai Haibara is a genius, and that mysterious force is very likely to want to recruit her.

Shuichi Akai felt that things might not be so simple.

Perhaps that force is interested in Ai Haibara's physical condition.

They made a promise to protect her, but in reality, it was just a means to conduct research on Ai Haibara's body.

Ai Haibara is simple-minded and has no idea that she is already caught in a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Shuichi Akai's heart tightened.

He absolutely had to get Ai Haibara out of this mess!

A variety of thoughts churned in Shuichi Akai's mind.

He exhaled a long breath, held a wine glass, and slowly moved to the window.

But just as he raised his glass to his lips, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow in the distance out of the corner of his eye.

what is that?

A hot air balloon?

Shuichi Akai raised his eyebrows slightly, just as he was about to pick up the binoculars on the table.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to see the dark figure suddenly flash with a dazzling light.

boom--

Before I could think it through, a loud bang suddenly exploded without warning!

In an instant, the entire hotel began to tremble violently, as if it had been hit by a powerful earthquake!

Shuichi Akai and Jodie were caught off guard and their bodies trembled violently.

But before they could figure out what was happening, the room's windows couldn't withstand the impact and shattered instantly.

With a sudden gust of wind, countless sharp shards of glass hurtled towards them like raindrops.

Fortunately, the two were experienced FBI agents, and their bodies reacted instinctively, quickly lying down without hesitation, thus avoiding becoming nail heads.

However, this change came too suddenly.

Despite their swift response, their foreheads were inevitably cut by small shards of glass, and blood slowly seeped from the wounds.

At the same time, a piercing fire alarm suddenly sounded throughout the hotel.

"What happened? A gas explosion?"

Judy looked at Shuichi Akai with a face full of astonishment and asked anxiously.

However, Shuichi Akai was also completely confused at this moment. He frowned, thought of the bright light he had inadvertently seen earlier, and shook his head.

"...No way?"

Shuichi Akai cautiously crouched down and looked out the window, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Then he saw the dark figure he had seen earlier rushing towards them!

As they drew closer, Shuichi Akai finally saw the true face of the shadowy figure.

A real flying car!

Then, several flashes of light suddenly appeared on the front of the car. Akai Shuichi felt a great sense of crisis and quickly pulled Jodie, who was about to get up, to lie down.

"It seems almost certain that Qi Ming has a powerful backer, and Shiho Miyano is being monitored. She's noticed our attempts to interfere and is preparing to eliminate us!"

The thought had barely crossed Shuichi Akai's mind before he had no time to think it through when the floor of the room they were in suddenly collapsed!

Bullets and missiles have been unleashed once again!

……

Chu tu tu tu——

High above the hotel.

Qi Ming was piloting the Deluxo, his expression excited, when he pressed the launch button, unleashing a barrage of missile bullets at the hotel building.

Perhaps feeling it wasn't enough, Qi Ming opened the car door, raised his finger, and gestured in the air a few times, causing countless points of light to appear and coalesce in the air.

Then three armed drones, roughly the size of an old man's bicycle, suddenly appeared.

"Fire! Die, all of you!"

Upon receiving Qi Ming's instructions, the drone took action, continuously firing around the hotel building.
