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

Before the operation to rescue Chiba.

On the phone screen, the contents of an anonymous message caught Christina's turquoise eyes. Her expression was completely devoid of the gentle demeanor she had displayed in front of Nu in the village; her eyes revealed a hint of excitement and suspicion.

Miss Pramia, your enemies are now gathering, whether it's the 'Nada' squad that has been getting in your way, or Matsuda Jinpei who injured your arm.

All you need is your explosives to send them all to the sky. Reply if you're interested.

Christina nervously reached for her right arm, which she had been shot in three years ago and could never regain its former glory.

She hid in Japan for three years, all for the sake of taking revenge on those four policemen and that group of reckless bastards. Unexpectedly, two of the four policemen died during those three years, and she finally managed to seize the opportunity to take on the remaining two.

But... Christina's gaze turned to her phone again. Who was this person who sent her the message?

Who are you? What do you want? Why should I trust you?

Christina had just sent the message when Murakami Tsutomu's voice came from outside the bedroom: "The porridge is ready, come and have some. Don't worry too much about the explosion, Inspector Megure and the others will definitely handle it."

Christina immediately put down her phone, her face once again displaying a gentle and virtuous demeanor, and she nodded obsequiously.

Murakami was extremely attentive and gentle towards her, slowly feeding her the porridge. Christina's phone lit up briefly, she glanced at it, and then softly said to Murakami, "I want to eat the side dishes you made before, so I put them in the refrigerator."

"Okay, I'll go get it for you." The village headman, without suspecting anything, put down the bowl and got up to go out.

Christina immediately picked up her phone to check—

None of that matters. Since Miss Christina has replied, it means she's interested.

This message is followed by a location message.

"So, you guys... were hiding here." Christina looked at the location information, a sinister expression on her face. But she immediately concealed it the next second as she entered the village.

After Christina finished her bowl of porridge with some side dishes, she stopped Muraka Nobu, who was about to wash the dishes: "Don't go, take a rest. I'll wash the dishes and heat up some milk for you."

Minakata loved his fiancée's gentleness, so naturally he listened to Christina. Once out of Minakata's sight, Christina glanced at her phone's location information one last time.

"The milk is warmed up, drink it while it's hot." Christina smiled and handed the milk to Murakami, who drank it all in one go. A few minutes later, Murakami felt drowsy.

Christina changed her clothes, put on sunglasses, and left her residence. Little did she know that Kitano Ichi had been monitoring them with a group of police officers all along.

The underground area of ​​Miyashita Park

Jiang Jin, dressed as a pumpkin man, knocked out the guards at the 'Nadau' squad's stronghold and then easily sneaked in.

This was an underground water storage tank, lit up everywhere with pumpkin heads. Jiang Jin hid behind a complex network of steel frames. Several people dressed in black robes and wearing pumpkin heads could be clearly seen, while Qianye was tied to a chair.

"Why haven't Andrew and Lev returned yet?" Their voices echoed in the empty space, but they were speaking Russian, which Jiang Jin couldn't understand.

“If anything goes wrong, then this policeman can only blame his bad luck.” The voice that answered was a woman’s voice, and Jiang Jin guessed that it was Elenica, the leader of ‘Nadau’.

Elenica didn't want things to come to this, but her brother had died after the last bombing. Her companion, who had worked with Matsuda Jinpei, had said he was still alive, but now he had vanished without a trace.

Elena initially assumed the other person was injured and recuperating. However, in the abandoned commercial and residential building in Shibuya, her companion spotted Matsuda Jinpei in the crowd.

He showed absolutely no signs of injury, so why didn't he contact them? Could it be that this person was also afraid of Pramia?

Elenica has lost too much. She'd do anything to capture Pramia, even kidnap a police officer. Because only they themselves can save themselves.

Conan followed Matsuda Jinpei to the entrance of the water tank area, assuming that Matsuda Jinpei had already gone inside. However, when he carefully sneaked in, he did not see Matsuda Jinpei at all.

"Hasn't Mr. Matsuda come in yet?" Conan wondered, while Elena, who had also been waiting for a long time, was getting impatient. "Andrew and the others haven't returned yet. The Japanese police must have arrested them. In that case, we don't need to be polite!"

Elena removed her hood and stood in front of the unconscious Chiba, pointing her gun at him. The angle was just right to block Chiba's face.

Jiang Jin took a picture of Elenica's face from this angle. Just as he was thinking of lying to Christina that the person whose face was blocked was Matsuda Jin, a voice rang out.

It was Matsuda Jinpei's voice, but it clearly wasn't Jiang Jin's. So there could only be one person—Conan.

"What a Halloween! What are you trying to achieve by making such a big fuss?"

The sudden sound startled everyone. Elenica frowned: "Mr. Matsuda, you've arrived. Where are my two companions?"

"They're fine, don't worry. How's Chiba?"

Elena glanced at Chiba: "You can come down and see for yourself."

Conan hid behind a water tank, shining the flashlight from his watch at himself, taking off his glasses, ruffling his hair, and using the light and shadow effects on the wall to disguise himself as Matsuda Jinpei standing there.

"I believe you. You wouldn't do this if you weren't desperate. However, kidnapping a police officer is still too audacious of you."

Elena said, "Thank you for understanding us, but there's nothing we can do about it. Didn't we agree to cooperate from the beginning? Why didn't you contact us after the first explosion, even though you were fine?"

The first explosion? Could it be referring to the bombing in Rioho Town that was reported in the news? Was Mr. Matsuda there at the time? Conan immediately recalled, but Mr. Matsuda didn't seem to have experienced any explosion at all.

After all, just look at Kazami Yuya, who was also caught in the explosion; he still has bandages on his face.

“After that incident, the case came to the attention of the public security police. They approached me to cooperate because regulations stipulated that I could no longer disclose information to outsiders at will.”

Elena thought for a moment, seemingly accepting the explanation: "Okay, then let's not talk about these unpleasant things. Now, we only have one request: we hope you can tell us everything you know about the liquid bomb."

Jiang Jin looked at his phone screen, which displayed: Email sent.

Miyashita Park

Several police dogs were sniffing around the spot where the candy had just been scattered, but there were too many people gathered there before, and the smell of candy was also distracting, so the police dogs couldn't find any clues for the time being.

Kazami Yuya was feeling anxious when his phone rang. He glanced at it and was surprised to see that the message was from Kitano Ichiro.

Seeing this, Sato Miwako asked, "What happened?"

“My colleague said that Pramia is going to plant a bomb in the underground water tank.” Kazami Yuya was stunned when he saw the message. Then another message popped up, this time from Jiang Jin: “Officer Chiba and the ‘Nadau’ team are in the underground water tank.”
