"What? Another fake bullet has been found! Did you check it carefully?!"

Inspector Megure's voice echoed in the Metropolitan Police Department, and the slight surprise in his voice revealed his unease.

"Could there be live ammunition inside that hasn't been properly checked?"

"No, actually, we've investigated almost all the red trams that run in the city, but the suspicious items we found were all fake bullets used by the criminals to scare people."

Undeterred, Inspector Megure asked again, but the answer remained unchanged.

After issuing the order to continue the search, Inspector Megure reluctantly hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Conan and his friends were sitting in a shop eating and drinking.

"Ugh... I'm so sleepy."

Genta yawned widely, and the group looked quite exhausted.

Conan could only sigh helplessly as he looked at the group, then glanced out the window at Officer Sato and Officer Takagi who were talking.

Then he began to think about where the problem was.

"Have you thought of something, Detective?"

Ai Haibara, who was watching Conan sighing frequently, asked a question.

Conan glanced at Ai Haibara, then slowly said, "I'm wondering where our reasoning went wrong. Otherwise, logically speaking, we should have been able to find the bomb planted by the criminal at the station."

Upon hearing Conan's words, Ai Haibara also fell silent.

Indeed, in theory, their reasoning should have been flawless, but the criminals seemed to have guessed their intentions and deliberately planted a fake bomb there.

But why do that? Just to mess with the police?

Ai Haibara couldn't guarantee anything, but at that moment she really couldn't think of any other solutions.

In fact, in her opinion, there is another person who wants to resolve the current situation.

That person she found somewhat annoying, yet whom she trusted immensely.

Admittedly, asking directly might save a lot of effort and prevent them from taking any detours.

However, for Ai Haibara, the fact that she had told him one second that she was going to catch the criminal, and then ran to ask him the next second, was undoubtedly a huge failure.

"Eh, Haibara."

Just then, Conan suddenly moved close to Ai Haibara and whispered to her:

"Otherwise, why don't you try asking Asakawa-nii? Maybe he'll know something."

As soon as he finished speaking, Conan was met with a stare from Ai Haibara.

"Is...is there a problem?"

Conan was embarrassed. Why was this guy suddenly glaring at me like that? Did I say something wrong?

After staring intently at Conan for a while, Ai Haibara said sarcastically, "What, does that mean our great detective can't solve cases without someone's hints? Or have you already admitted that he's much better than you?"

Hearing Ai Haibara's sharp and sarcastic words, Conan immediately couldn't stand it anymore.

"What are you saying! I... I didn't say that. I just didn't want to see that thug continue to do evil."

Conan hurriedly explained, seemingly trying to prove that he was really just trying to catch the criminal as quickly as possible.

Ai Haibara almost laughed. "Hehe, I'll just say that's how it is. If you want to ask, I can go and ask for you."

Ai Haibara said casually, but Conan fell silent. After a while, he looked up.

"Forget it, let's think about it ourselves first. Maybe even Asakawa-nii hasn't solved this mystery yet."

Under Ai Haibara's gaze, Conan slowly walked towards Officer Takagi and the three children near the door.

Ai Haibara almost laughed at the sight, but after a short while, she came to her senses, put her phone back in her pocket, and walked towards the crowd.

Meanwhile, inside the Asaba Cafe, Akemi was looking at the notice in her hand, completely baffled.

"How could it be wrong... Even you, boss, thought my reasoning was correct..."

When Akemi learned that the bombs on the train were actually fake, she fell into this state.

I thought I'd finally be of some use this time, but I never expected...

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became, so much so that Akemi put down her phone and turned to sit in Asakawa Yu's arms.

Since their last kiss, this practice has become quite common for Akemi. When no one is around, she often snuggles in Asakawa Yu's arms, feeling his body temperature.

Looking up at her boyfriend deep in thought, Akemi found it amusing and reached out to poke his cheek.

Tap! Tap!

Although she didn't know what it meant, Akemi was having a blast.

Just as Akemi was about to poke again, Asakawa Yu reached out and grabbed her little hand that was still trying to move around.

"Don't make trouble." Asakawa Yu said with a bitter smile.

"But it's really fun..." Akemi pouted, looking like a little child, which made Asakawa Yu both laugh and cry.

"Stop fooling around. I think I know where the real bomb was planted," Asakawa Yu said with a smile, patting Akemi's head.

In an instant, Akemi's eyes lit up. "Really?! Boss, you deciphered that notice?!" Akemi exclaimed excitedly.

Hmph! You despicable scoundrel, so what if you can fool me? My boyfriend can easily crack your pre-announcement letter!

Seeing Akemi's somewhat smug expression, Asakawa Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Aren't you afraid I'll make a mistake in my reasoning later?" Asakawa Yu retorted.

Unexpectedly, Mingmei said righteously, "That's impossible, because boss, your reasoning has never been wrong. It never was before, it never is now, and it never will be."

Faced with Akemi's beaming smile, Asakawa Yu didn't know what to say, and could only helplessly reply:

"Alright, in that case, let's set off."

As he spoke, Asakawa Yu stood up and put Akemi down from his body.

"Departure? Where are we going?" Mingmei asked, puzzled, after she had steadied herself.

"Of course, we're going to the place mentioned in the thugs' notice," Asakawa Yu replied matter-of-factly.

"Go in person?!"

Akemi didn't expect that Asakawa Yu would actually want to go to the scene in person, considering that he usually hates trouble the most.

"Sitting here is boring anyway, so why not go and take a look?"

Asakawa Yu glanced at Akemi and knew exactly what was going on in her head.

"This...is like this..."
