The manager opened the front door, and the postman standing behind him pushed him, causing the postman in front to fall to the ground.

The postman's expression changed, and three more people appeared behind him.

The manager was shocked. "What are you trying to do?"

"I'm really sorry, but what I want you to see is..." he said, raising the gun in his hand.

Seeing the manager trembling with fear, the assailant thought he had the situation under control.

"Everyone inside, raise your hands and come out. Quickly bring all the cash out here."

Upon hearing the thugs' words, a large group of people came out from inside.

A portly man slowly said, "You can use fax machines and bombs to impersonate that demolition maniac from three years ago, which will alert him. By diverting the police's attention to the parade route, you can actually make it easier to rob the mail truck and then the post office."

"However, this method hardly qualifies as a sophisticated crime."

Seeing that there were more people than expected, the criminals panicked and felt they didn't have enough bullets.

"How could this be? It's Sunday, why are there so many people?"

At this moment, a female postman came out and took off her costume. "We are different from postal workers who can take holidays. We work all year round without a break. It's not that easy to be a policeman."

The criminals then realized that the area was surrounded by police. They raised their guns, attempting to struggle, only to see the police officers all drawing their weapons and pointing them at them.

Finally, the post office robbers were successfully arrested, the bombs they had planted were put into service, and their accomplices waiting elsewhere were also arrested.

It was already evening when they finished work, and Sato and Takagi were walking down the street.

"I'm so sorry about lunch. I shouldn't have slapped you. It must have hurt a lot."

Seeing Sato's hand stroking her cheek, Takagi blushed instantly and grabbed Sato's hand.

"No, it's my fault for not following the officer's orders. How can I blame you? But is the injury on your hand alright?"

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly improved.

Sato broke the silence by withdrawing his hand. "I want to say that we shouldn't go on dates anymore, because I've been cursed. The people I care about will disappear from my life soon. So let's just be ordinary colleagues like before."

But Takagi suddenly grabbed Sato's hand, her eyes resolute.

Hirakiyo, who had been looking forward to it, suddenly sensed resentment. Turning around, he saw the burly men from the Metropolitan Police Department glaring fiercely at Takagi.

Tsk, these people are always staring at Takagi, acting like her sasaeng fans.

After remaining steadfast for a while, Takagi finally broke down, "You're right, after all, Officer Sato and I don't seem to be a very good match in terms of appearance."

"Yes, someone as good as you will definitely find an even better girl."

Ding! Congratulations, Takagi Yuu has received a "good person" card!

This made Yumi, who was watching, feel disappointed, while her colleagues behind her laughed out loud.

Pingqing sighed; he quite liked Takagi. Although he and Sato eventually got together, the process was truly tortuous.

And so, Takagi, who was looking forward to a date, lost her beloved car during the day and her date at night.

In just one day, I experienced all the ups and downs of life...

……

seven years ago.

Police sirens blared in Kamiya, Tokyo, as Kenji Hagiwara, the bomb disposal officer, stood atop an apartment building.

Meanwhile, another bomb nearby had already been successfully defused by his friend, Matsuda Jinpei.

Good news came from my friend Matsuda: the crowd in the building has been evacuated.

Kenji Hagiwara began working with peace of mind, and for the sake of efficiency, he did not wear protective clothing.

At this moment, Matsuda Jinpei, who had already completed the demolition work, also rushed over. Seeing that his friend hadn't come down yet, he anxiously made a phone call.

Just then, the bomb timer in front of the second-year graduate student, which had stopped, suddenly started counting down again. He told everyone to run, but it was too late.

Kenji Hagiwara, along with a group of police officers, was reduced to black smoke along with the building.

All of this happened right before Matsuda Jinpei's eyes.

……

three years ago.

The Metropolitan Police Department received a fax—

"We are a group of Knights of the Round Table. Attention all foolish and cunning police officers: at noon today at 14 PM, we will use the heads of our comrades as the sparks to ignite our celebration. If you have the guts, try to stop us. We will be waiting for you at seat number 72."

Matsuda Jinpei immediately understood and rushed to the Ferris wheel at Beika Department Store. Before noon, a small explosion had already occurred at the control panel.

At this moment, cable car No. 72 was moving to the ground. While everyone was still getting a sense of the situation, Matsuda Jinpei had already quickly inspected cable car No. 72.

He found something interesting under the seat, which made him determined to get on the Ferris wheel.

Soon, another small explosion brought cable car number 72 to a stop high in the air.

The explosion triggered the mercury column switch on the bomb, meaning that the bomb would explode if subjected to even the slightest vibration.

At this moment, there were still five minutes until noon, but Matsuda was very confident.

"Such a simple device, I only need three minutes..."

Just then, a message suddenly appeared on the bomb's display screen. It was a message left by the bomber: the location of the next bomb would appear on the display screen three seconds before this bomb exploded.

And so, Matsuda Jinpei stood calmly in front of the bomb until the very last second.

In a blinding explosion, Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji died in the line of duty in the same way.

Matsuda Jinpei's last text message was sent to Sato's phone.

——Beihu Shopping Mall Ferris Wheel——

"Brother Pingqing, we're coming down."

Upon hearing the sound, Pingqing saw a group of little devils running towards him.

"Brother Pingqing, the Ferris wheel is so much fun! When you're at the very top, everyone below looks so tiny."

Pingqing handed over the snacks he was holding; they weren't very tasty.

"Thank you, Brother Pingqing."

Ping Qing nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go find Officer Sato."

"Hey, aren't those Officer Takagi and Officer Shiratori? They're here too. Could something have happened? Let's go check it out."

Across the street, Takagi and Shiratori were arm in arm, looking like best buddies, whispering to each other.

Seeing the three kids excitedly run over, Hirakiyo's lips twitched. These brats think of the case the moment they see Takagi; if Takagi weren't too old, he could already join the Junior Detective Club.

Upon hearing the three little ones' voices, Takagi and Shiratori immediately stopped holding hands.

Ping Qing was taken aback. "They're clearly rivals in love, yet they're acting like they're having an affair."

Wow, what an cult-like couple!

Conan was speechless. "Brother Pingqing, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Men can like men too."

Conan stiffly turned his head, "Haibara, you..."
