In the forests of Gunma Prefecture, Kiichiro Shobuchi walked slowly through the woods, a bloodstained knife tucked into his arms. He had just plunged the knife into the body of the bespectacled brat and watched him fall.
The forest was dark. He walked towards the direction where he had met the silver-haired young man, but the man was no longer there. A hoarse laugh escaped his lips; he realized he had probably been tricked.
"Finished with the task?" The sudden voice behind him startled him. Zhao Yuanji turned around and saw Jiang Jin emerge from the shadows.
That's what the question was, but Jiang Jin already knew from the prompting voice that Zhao Yuanji had succeeded.
"What's next?" asked Shikiichiro Shobuchi. "Those policemen are still in this forest."
Jiang Jin tossed a badge into the air, which gleamed in the moonlight. The badge landed back in his hand, and Jiang Jin said, "Go south. Once you're out of this forest, you'll see a black car with the license plate Shinjuku 300 07-21. Go there and wait for me."
Zhao Yuanji glanced at the badge in Jiang Jin's hand, and Jiang Jin said, "Use that kid to help you hold off those policemen."
When Ran and the others found Conan, he was lying by the river, and they anxiously woke him up.
[Health -1, Remaining Health 96.5/99]
Conan sat up, his heart still throbbing slightly. The sharp pain of the knife piercing his skin still haunted him, and the image of Kiichiro Shobuchi charging at him with a knife was still vivid in his mind.
"Conan, how are you? Why do you look so pale? Have you found Mitsuhiko yet?" Ran crouched down and pulled Conan aside, her expression worried. Conan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "No... I just... We need to find the Gunma Prefecture police as soon as possible. Mitsuhiko is in great danger right now."
Conan was pulled up by Ran, and he was thinking about how Kiichiro Shobuchi had managed to break free of his handcuffs and where he got the knife. The police would never allow him to carry a murder weapon.
This means... there were other people involved. So, the reason why Kiichiro Shobuchi chose Gunma Prefecture was not to identify the burial site, but because someone was there to meet him!
But Conan still couldn't figure it out. Since that guy had gotten rid of the handcuffs, he should have run away immediately. He had seen them with Officer Yamamura before.
Why would they appear again? It's like they came specifically for him! Conan was startled by his own deduction, and then he remembered that the other party seemed to be prepared when he fired the tranquilizer dart.
"Who exactly is secretly helping Kiichiro Numabuchi?" Conan muttered to himself.
Ran turned her head and whispered, "Conan, what did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing..." Conan was about to say something when suddenly a faint voice sounded from his badge. Conan raised a finger to signal the others to be quiet. "This little invention is quite interesting..."
Ayumi, holding the detective badge, blinked and said, "This... doesn't sound like Mitsuhiko's voice?"
Conan and Ran's expressions changed simultaneously upon hearing the voice. Ayumi was unfamiliar with it, but they were extremely familiar with the voice.
That's Duyago's voice!
Conan's pupils dilated in shock. Could it be... could it be that Numabuchi Kiichiro is actually a member of the organization? In other words, Mitsuhiko might have been captured by Toagi, or perhaps his detective badge was simply lost by accident?
"Hey? Is anyone there?" The voice came from the detective badge again. It seemed like the other person was talking to the badge. Conan stared at the detective badge nervously. "Hmm? Can't they hear me? Hey, if no one claims this brat over there, I'm going to throw him into the mountains to feed the wolves."
Yamamura looked completely bewildered; he didn't understand why Conan's expression was so serious.
"Hey, someone's run into your companion? What are you waiting for? Contact them right away!" Yamamura Misao's voice came through the detective badge, and Conan couldn't stop him in time. "Oh? So someone's there."
Yamamura Misao was exceptionally confident at this moment. He bent down and cleared his throat in front of Genta's detective badge: "Ahem, that's right. Hello, sir, I am Yamamura Misao, a police officer from Gunma Prefecture. Is that boy named Mitsuhiko with you? He's lost, and we're looking for him. So, could you please tell us your location? We'll come and pick him up."
In the forest, Jiang Jin sat on a large rock with one leg bent. Nearby, Guang Yan was tied to a tree trunk and blindfolded. A glowing square box shimmered on his body, like a firefly.
"Hmm? The police? Hehe..." Jiang Jin's light laughter came from the detective badge, and then the others heard him say, "Officer, you'd better hurry up, or I'm afraid the fireflies on this kid will go out and it will be too late."
"Fireflies? What fireflies?" Yamamura Misao asked, confused. "Hey, what do you mean by that?"
Conan rolled his eyes, then his expression darkened slightly as he looked at the badge and said, "What do you want to do!"
"What's wrong? I was just a kind passerby who encountered a lost child in the forest and was helping him out." Jiang Jin's tone was slightly teasing. "Young people, the treasure hunt begins. The treasure is your partner. If you can't find it, it will disappear along with the moonlight and fireflies when the moon is high in the sky."
After saying this, the detective badge fell silent. Jiang Jin placed the detective badge between the black box on Guang Yan's body and his body.
“Conan, what did that person mean…” Ayumi’s eyes welled up with worried tears. The person who found Mitsuhiko’s Detective Badge was clearly not a good person. Conan frowned, put the badge to his ear, and then turned to Yamamura Misao seriously, “Officer Yamamura, I may need to trouble you to contact the officer in charge and contact the Mobile Bomb Disposal Team.”
Yamamura Misao was shocked: "W-what do you mean! You mean..."
Conan handed the badge to Yamamura Misao: "Listen carefully, it's the sound of a time bomb."
"Then, how are we going to find Mitsuhiko now? The tracking glasses are out of power," Professor Agasa said worriedly. The forest is so big, and the other party hasn't said where Mitsuhiko is.
Conan shook his head, resting his chin on his hand: "No, he gave us a hint. The phrase 'moon at its zenith' generally refers to the time when the moon is at its highest point in the sky, usually due north, and the time is between 11 and 12 o'clock. So... Mitsuhiko's location is very likely north of the forest, and the explosion occurred at 11 o'clock."
"Eleven o'clock, that's less than two hours from now!" Dr. Agasa glanced at his watch.
Conan nodded, then said to Yamamura, "So, Officer Yamamura, could you please contact the other officers as soon as possible? It's going to be very difficult for just the few of us to find Mitsuhiko, and there might even be a bomb."
"I'll contact the team right away..." Yamamura Misao hurriedly patted his pockets, "Oh no, I think I left my phone in the car!"
Conan and the others: ...
"Why are you still here?!" The police officer who had led the search for Mitsuhiko appeared from the woods, and Conan hurriedly told him about Mitsuhiko's arrest.
"What... You guys go back and call for backup. The rest of you come with me to find that child first. Maybe that will lead us to Zhao Yuan." The officer immediately and decisively gave the order.
Just as Conan and his friends were anxiously searching for Mitsuhiko, Jiang Jin had already left the forest. Standing by the car, he looked around and said, "Come out."
From the shadows, Zhao Yuanji emerged, his body hunched over. Jiang Jin smiled and asked, "How did it go? Did you make it out smoothly?"
Shoyukiichiro squatted down and nodded. Sure enough, they hadn't encountered any police search in the direction the other person had indicated.
“However, I still have to complete my mission, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to the organization.” Jiang Jin said, slowly taking out the black Viper pistol from his pocket. Numabuchi Kiichiro took a step back, “What… do you mean…”
Jiang Jin raised the gun and pointed it at him: "Do you believe me?"
"I……"
"You have to believe it whether you want to or not." Jiang Jin said, then shot him in the head. Zhao Yuanji Ichiro fell to the ground, blood flowing from the side of his head. Jiang Jin took out his phone, took a picture, sent it, then found a first-aid kit to treat the wound and dragged the man to the car. "Oh dear, I should have brought a different car today."
A pure black sports car sped along the highway in Gunma Prefecture, the driver still had the energy to look at his phone (reckless driving leads to tears from loved ones).

Jiang Jin turned his head to look at Zhao Yuanji, whose head was still bleeding despite being bandaged.

Jin Jiang: "I shot him in the superficial temporal vein, bandaged him up, and he's currently bleeding."
Zhong Qun: "Okay, okay, come to my place, address..."
