"Someone's there!"

In the darkness, Ai Haibara's voice was exceptionally clear. Following the direction Haibara pointed, a blurry figure could be seen standing not far away.

"I think that must be the murderer who killed Mr. Oki and Ms. Mio."

Upon hearing Conan's words, the culprit's eyes twitched, and then his head slowly turned to the back of his head.

"He decided to kill Ms. Mio for a certain motive, so he gave her that pearl necklace and asked her to wear it and introduce the painting he gave her during her speech at the opening ceremony."

Hearing this, Ai Haibara, whose intelligence rivals Conan's, finally realized, "You mean to say that the culprit is...?"

Suddenly, a horrifying hypothesis began to form in her mind.

“That’s right.” Conan slowly stepped forward and shone his watch-shaped flashlight on the culprit’s face. “The culprit is you, Ms. Mio’s Japanese painting teacher, Mr. Kisaragi Mine!”

After Conan's deduction, Kisaragi Mine no longer tried to deny it and confessed to his crime.

But just as he was about to commit suicide by poison, Conan noticed his intention and knocked him out with a tranquilizer gun.

"Actually, there's one more thing I don't understand."

After placing Kisaragi Mine on the ground, Conan put away his wristwatch-type tranquilizer gun and stared into Ai Haibara's eyes as he continued, "Why did we find that small wine glass at Mr. Hara Yoshiaki's house, but not his body?"

"And as I was reasoning, I realized a very important point."

Conan met Ai Haibara's gaze, his tone carrying an undeniable air, "I think that Hara Yoshiaki is someone connected to the organization, am I right, Haibara?"

"And the reason why Asakawa-nii didn't come to the scene tonight is probably because he noticed all of this a long time ago and is currently dealing with Gin and the others somewhere, right?"

Conan's eyes were unusually firm. He wasn't sure if his reasoning was completely correct, but he knew that everything that happened tonight was definitely related to Asakawa Yu.

Just when he thought Ai Haibara would start playing coy with him, her next move was beyond his expectations.

“Yes, I admit, everything that happened tonight was within that person’s expectations. So what? What are you going to do next? Go back and argue with him, or try to get more information out of me?”

Ai Haibara's direct admission was quite unexpected for Conan, but seeing her casually recount all of this still made him somewhat angry.

"Why? You know perfectly well what will happen if you do this, yet you still let him do it!"

In his view, Asakawa Yu was fully capable of preventing these tragedies, but he still chose to stand by and do nothing, which was completely unacceptable to Conan, who was full of a sense of justice.

"Oh? When did you get the idea that that guy would listen to me?"

When Conan spoke, Ai Haibara's expression showed a moment of surprise, then she stared at him expressionlessly and slowly spoke.

"This……"

This immediately shut down what Conan was about to say. Only then did he realize, "Are you saying that Asakawa Yu and Haibara Ai have a good relationship?"

Of course it's good, after all, that guy is her sister's boyfriend, and will be her brother-in-law in the future.

So, would you say that Asakawa Yu would really listen to Haibara Ai? The answer is definitely no.

In their eyes, Asakawa Yu usually seemed like a gentle older brother next door, but they knew that it was all a disguise. Beneath that gentle exterior lay a terrifying monster.

Not to mention that tonight's events involved the organization, it's a stroke of luck that they ended so easily.

“…Alas~~”

In the end, Conan just sighed and didn't say anything more.

Seeing his expression, Ai Haibara secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the more Conan asked, the more she would expose herself. Although Ai Haibara didn't like Conan, she still admired his reasoning ability.

"..."

For a moment, only a silent silence remained between the two. Finally, it was Ai Haibara who broke the silence first.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go. Those kids are probably almost upstairs by now," Ai Haibara said coldly, realizing that they couldn't delay any longer.

"...I understand." Regardless of any questions I may have now, I need to leave this place first to find out. After all, if a person dies, then nothing remains.

After saying that, Conan ran to move the unconscious Kisaragi Mine, while Ai Haibara walked to the bar and sat down, staring blankly at the bottles of liquor on the counter.

At that moment, the perceptive Ai Haibara noticed the faint red glow emanating from behind the wine.

After a moment of stunned silence, Ai Haibara slowly pushed the bottle away, and in an instant, her pupils dilated infinitely.

This is... a bomb!

At this moment, Inspector Megure finally saw the helicopter arrive. Upon seeing it, everyone around stared at the helicopter in the sky, their eyes filled with hope.

Only Miyano Akemi, for some reason, had a bad feeling about this, "Ai..."

As Akemi muttered to herself, a series of explosions suddenly occurred on the roof of Building A.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

In the distant sky, Gin held the remote control for a bomb in his hand, a sinister and cold smile playing on his lips. "I hope you'll like the gift I gave you, Sherry..."

…………

"You guys, come back here right now!"

As the fire surged up, the three little ones were so frightened that they froze. Just as they didn't know what to do, Ai Haibara's voice came from behind them.

Under Ai Haibara's command, the group successfully hid in the banquet hall downstairs.

"What the hell is going on with this building?!" Having just escaped death, Mitsuhiko and the others couldn't help but start complaining.

"Looks like we'll have to wait until the fire on the roof is out before we can say anything more." Conan was about to say something more when Ai Haibara's voice interrupted him.

"I think we're running out of time."

At this moment, Ai Haibara had already walked to the banquet table and slowly lifted the table curtain. Upon seeing this, Conan quickly ran over.

But when he saw what was under the table, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Underneath each of these tables, without exception, lay a pile of bombs!

Then, Ai Haibara slowly looked in the direction of the bomb she had just discovered. She saw that the bomb inside the spot that had been emitting a red glow had been activated...
