Let's go back to the night before Asakawa Yu and the others went to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Hara Yoshiaki's house.

"Big brother, that guy's gone!"

After searching the entire house without finding Hara Akito's vodka, he cautiously approached Gin and said...

"Hmm, it seems someone beat us to it," Gin said coldly.

"Big brother, you mean... the FBI?" Vodka guessed cautiously.

Vodka's answer seemed to be the same as Gin's, and Gin rarely smiled. "That's right, that guy must have sensed that we were coming to find him, so he cooperated with the FBI in advance."

"The FBI's witness protection program."

"Brother, you mean that Hara Yoshiaki guy..." Vodka was extremely surprised when he heard Gin's words.

"I think that guy must have provided the FBI with a lot of intelligence. It seems this operation is going to be much more exciting than I expected!"

Gin's face revealed a cold smile, the kind of smile a hunter gives when he sees his prey he's satisfied with.

In Gin's eyes, the FBI had become his prey this time.

"Maybe that guy is here too..."

"Big brother, you mean... Shuichi Akai?" Seeing his older brother's smile, Vodka knew without a doubt that it could only be that man.

“That’s right! Vodka, inform Cohen and Chianti that this time, I’m going to 'hunt' those FBI agents!”

In the darkness, Gin's smile grew increasingly cruel...

-----------------------------

"Ayami-nee, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Ran, who was walking down from the Mouri Detective Agency, said apologetically to Miyano Akemi, with Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Kogoro following behind her.

"It's okay, there's still plenty of time."

Akemi waved her hand to indicate that it was alright, then glanced at the group of them. The most prominent one was naturally Sonoko, who had gotten a perm with big waves. "Sonoko, you really got your hair permed? It suits you very well."

"Really? Hehe! I knew it." Sonoko felt a surge of joy upon hearing someone praise her.

"Thank you for picking us up, Ms. Tang Ze. It's just a pity that Asakawa can't come along," Kogoro Mouri said, scratching the back of his head as he got into the car.

"There was nothing we could do about it. The boss suddenly said he had some urgent business to attend to."

Because they were going to attend the banquet together that evening, Akemi Miyano suggested that Ran and the others ride with them, which would save them some taxi fare.

Asakawa Yu suddenly said that she couldn't go with them while they were discussing this, so she gave the car keys to Akemi and asked her to drive them there.

As for Ai Haibara and the others, they went there together in a car driven by the Doctor.

"Ayami-nee, do you know what Asakawa-nii is going to do?"

To pass the time during the journey, in order to avoid being bored, Xiaolan asked Mingmei a question.

"Well... all I know is that I'm going to talk to a boss about some related cooperation matters."

Mingmei answered Xiaolan's questions while driving.

"It must have been really tough..." Ran murmured to herself as she listened to Akemi's reply.

"Speaking of which, Asakawa is really amazing. He's so young and he already owns a coffee shop in Tokyo and can afford to buy a house."

Compared to other young people, Asakawa is quite good; well, she's only slightly worse than I used to be.

In the end, Kogoro Mouri even nodded in self-affirmation, leaving Ran and Sonoko speechless.

"I'm telling you, Dad..."

"Uncle, really..."

Everything seemed normal at first, but how did it turn into self-praise in the end?

"So Mr. Mori thinks so highly of the boss. If the boss himself heard this, he would be very happy."

Akemi said with a smile that although she didn't feel anything special as his girlfriend, she was still proud when she heard others praise Asakawa Yu. This also showed that she had good taste.

"By the way, Ayami-nee, could you tell us how you and Asakawa-nii got together?" Just then, Ran suddenly asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"Yeah, yeah! I really want to know too!" Sonoko suddenly chimed in excitedly after Ran finished speaking.

Last time they didn't get the details from Mingmei, but this time they're determined to find out.

"You two..."

Amidst a noisy commotion and laughter, Mingmei and her three friends finally arrived at the foot of the Twin Towers skyscraper.

After parking the car, the group encountered Conan and the others who had just arrived.

"Hello, Sister Xiaolan!"

Ayumi and the others greeted Ran and her friends with smiles.

When Conan saw Sonoko's big, wavy hair, he couldn't help but think of Ai Haibara when she transformed back into Shiho Miyano.

Just as he was secretly glancing at Ai Haibara, she happened to see him, and their eyes met for a moment.

"What's wrong? Has our great detective thought of something he shouldn't be thinking about again?"

Ai Haibara stared at Conan with a look of utter contempt, and in an instant, Conan gave in and silently turned his head away.

"No...nothing..."

And then there's the scene where Conan is looking at Sonoko for a moment, and then at Ai Haibara for a moment.

Ayumi couldn't help but mutter to herself, "I should get a perm too..."

…………

"Inspector! Let's go into the banquet hall too!"

While Conan and his friends went inside to attend the banquet, Inspector Megure, along with Shiratori and Takagi, were quietly waiting downstairs.

"No way!" Inspector Megure refused without even thinking.

"Since Ms. Tokiwa has refused, then we can only wait here."

"Phew~~" Officer Shiratori let out a breath, looked up at the towering skyscraper that seemed to reach into the clouds, and couldn't help but sigh, "Now all I can do is pray that nothing bad happens."

But what they didn't know was that a terrifying attack was about to unfold on this seemingly peaceful night.

Once the actors are in place, the performance will begin...
