A group of people dressed up as Conan characters, and I guaranteed the Black Team's advancement

Conan and his friends traveled all the way to Gunma Prefecture in their search for Mitsuhiko, only to encounter the Gunma Prefecture police on the outskirts of the prefecture's forest.

"You guys should leave quickly," Yamamura Misao said to Conan and the others in a low voice as he approached them. "It's very dangerous here right now."

Conan then asked, "What happened, Inspector Yamamura?"

"The serial killer who summoned Kiichiro Sakichi to this place to identify the burial site, but because of... my senior's mistake, he ran into the forest."

"Summoning Kiichiro!" Conan immediately remembered the guy he'd encountered in Osaka before.

Upon hearing this, the group's expressions changed drastically. If this serial killer, who had murdered three people in the Tohoku, Kanto, and Gyeonggi regions, was also in this forest, wouldn't Mitsuhiko be in danger?

Conan immediately told Yamamura Misao that they had tracked Mitsuhiko down to the forest, but Yamamura Misao didn't believe him at all.

"Hey, Yamamura," the officer in charge of the team called out, "What are you still chatting about? We need to find Zhao Yuan right now!"

Yamamura Misao turned to look at Conan and the others: "But, these kids..."

"Alright, once you've gotten them to a safe place, hurry up and join the search team. Don't forget, the culprit got away because of your carelessness."

After saying that, the person in charge led the other officers into the forest. Yamamura Misao scratched his head and muttered under his breath, "Honestly, it was clearly the senior officer who abandoned his post. I only lost focus for a moment because I saw someone nearby..."

Conan and the others were speechless, urging Yamamura Misao to help them find Mitsuhiko.

Meanwhile, deep in the forest, Mitsuhiko, carrying his luggage, walked breathlessly, having been lost for quite some time. He sat down to rest under a tree by the stream when his detective badge rang.

"It must be Conan and the others coming to find me," Mitsuhiko said, but then he remembered the purpose of his trip and decided against responding. "If I respond now, there'll be no point in coming here."

It was completely dark when Jiang Jin walked through the forest. According to intelligence from an undercover agent in Gunma Prefecture, Shobuchi Kiichiro was in this forest. Jiang Jin also knew that the assassin had returned because he wanted to go home and see the fireflies that he used to see often when he was a child.

"He could have just run away, but he insisted on helping some lost child get home." Jiang Jin shook his head and said, "Sigh, what a great act of kindness!"

However, when it came to the undercover agents organized in Gunma Prefecture, Jiang Jin thought of Yamamura Misao, who had accidentally let Shobuchi Kiichiro go.

"Could it really be that rookie cop?"

Because this guy is really suspicious. Not only this time, he also sings the "Seven Sons Song" that the organization uses for communication. He's from Tottori Prefecture, and he's so stupid yet he still got promoted.

Of course, if it's just a setup to deliberately increase the suspicion surrounding Yamamura Misao, then Jiang Jin has nothing to say.

Mitsuhiko walked through the forest with his hands clasped together. He felt completely exhausted and sighed, saying in a hoarse voice, "Forget it, maybe I should just give up."

He stopped and hesitated before letting go of his hand. Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from the bushes behind him. Mitsuhiko turned around and saw a tall, thin man with long hair and a sinister face standing behind him.

"Heh, we do look quite alike now," the man said in a hoarse voice.

Mitsuhiko noticed that the man was handcuffed. Could he be... some kind of criminal who escaped from the police station?

"Run!" Mitsuhiko thought to himself, and he turned and ran. Shobuchi Kiichiro immediately gave chase.

Mitsuhiko ran as fast as he could, but before long he bumped into someone, and the firefly in his palm flew out. He fell to the ground, and from the shock and the strenuous exercise, he fainted.

"It's been a long time since I've been looking for you, Shikichiro Shobuchi."

Following closely behind Mitsuhiko, Shobuchi Kiichiro stopped abruptly. He looked at the silver-haired youth in front of him, dressed in black, the metal decorations on his clothes making a slight scraping sound with his movements.

"You! It's you guys!" Although Zhao Yuanji didn't recognize Jiang Jin, he was absolutely certain that the aura emanating from him was unmistakable. It was the organization that had come to kill him!

Jiang Jin lowered his eyes, his dark red pupils glancing at the unconscious Mitsuhiko, then he raised his eyes and said, "I really don't know whether to call you stupid or smart. You've already fooled the police and gotten to Gunma Prefecture, and even managed to escape, but instead of running away, you want to send the kid home."

Zhao Yuanji immediately tensed up. He turned to run, but Jiang Jin raised his hand and fired a shot into the ground in front of him.

"What do you want to do? If you're here to kill me, then do it." Shobuchi Kiichiro knew that in his current state, he was no different from a lamb to the slaughter.

Jiang Jin, holding the gun, said, "My mission was naturally to get rid of you, but... I've changed my mind. Do me a favor, and I'll let you go."

"Let me go?" Zhao Yuanji's tone was full of disbelief. He knew all too well what a terrifying organization it was. Jiang Jin continued unhurriedly, "You can trust me because you are not worth my deception."

Shobuki Ichiro remained silent.

"If you do this for me, I can help you evade the police. From now on, you'll work for me, and you'll be independent of the organization, how about that?" Jiang Jin continued, "I also worked my way up from the bottom as a hitman, I understand you. You wouldn't be happy to die like this, would you?"

"what do you want to do?"

Jiang Jin smiled slightly and walked towards him. Zhao Yuanji instinctively took a step back, and Jiang Jin suddenly grabbed his handcuffed hand and tightened his grip.

With two cracking sounds, the knuckle of Zhao Yuanji was removed. Jiang Jin took off the handcuffs, threw them on the ground, and then pressed the knuckle back into place.

"Your endurance is good; it's just that the organization has high standards," Jiang Jin praised. Meanwhile, Zhao Yuanji was sweating profusely from the pain. Jiang Jin pulled out a sharp knife and handed it to him. "It's a simple matter; after all, it's your job."

Meanwhile, because of Yamamura Misao's unintentional remark, Conan deduced Mitsuhiko's purpose in coming to the forest. He turned to the professor and said, "I know where Mitsuhiko might be. Professor, you keep an eye on them!"

After saying that, Conan turned and ran away.

He walked along the riverbank with a flashlight, shouting, "Mitsuhiko! Mitsuhiko, where are you! If you hear me, please answer me!"

In the woods near the stream, Jiang Jin and Zhao Yuanji both heard Conan's shout. Jiang Jin grinned and said, "Look, you've found your target. You should have seen those kids by now, right? That kid with glasses. So, have you decided?"

Zhao Yuanji reached out and grabbed the knife from Jiang Jin's hand. Jiang Jin reminded him, "By the way, be careful of that brat's watch; it has a tranquilizer dart inside."

The other party simply swung his knife.

Jiang Jin smiled, then looked at Guang Yan lying on the ground. He bent down, took the detective badge off the bag, held it between his fingers in thought, and then grabbed Guang Yan and left.

Conan called out for a while, but there was still no response. He leaned against a tree, panting, "He should be around here. Why isn't he responding... Is he unable to speak?"

Just then, a rustling sound came from the woods, and Conan immediately looked over: "Mitsuhiko, you..."

His expression froze instantly. The person who appeared was not Mitsuhiko, but Shobuchi Kiichiro, who was holding a knife and was no longer bound by handcuffs!

Conan first stepped back, then immediately raised his watch and fired a tranquilizer dart at Kiichiro Shobuchi, but Kiichiro Shobuchi was prepared and raised his hand to block the tranquilizer dart with his knife.

"What!" Conan exclaimed in shock, immediately turning to run, but it was too late. "Ugh—"
