Miss Japan winner, Kaoru Suzuki, is murdered at the Suzuki Hotel, causing chaos within the establishment. Conan unexpectedly reverts to his adult form after eating a cake laced with baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Unexpectedly, he encountered a fake policeman of unknown identity. Conan initially suspected that the man was related to the hotel murder case. However, after waking up from the dead again, he suddenly realized that there was only one person who could have triggered this incident—Duyago.

But by the time Conan came to his senses, the Suzuki Hotel case was nearing its end, and the murderer of Suzuka Ren had been found. The Suzuki Hotel was forced to close for renovations due to the murder. During these renovations, two more bodies were discovered at the garbage disposal site.

In short, Jiang Jin and his gang killed their men and left, leaving the unfortunate Suzuki Hotel in a state of chaos due to the presence of two more mysterious corpses.

In the world of Detective Conan, the seasons change unpredictably, and the hot summer winds blow into the organization's base nestled in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture. Gin, still in his ever-present black overcoat, strides confidently through the corridor.

Vodka followed Gin silently, passing through a series of connecting doors. Vodka had been simply spacing out as he walked with Gin. Suddenly, he heard an argument ahead. Actually, it wasn't really an argument; to Vodka, it was an unfamiliar member of the organization stopping a young female member.

The conversation between the two seemed to be going poorly.

Gin had no interest in the verbal sparring between the organization's members. He only glanced at it casually as he passed by, and saw the female member, whose back he could only see, suddenly throw a heavy punch.

Vodka pushed up his sunglasses, looked at the man lying on the ground with his face swollen, and clicked his tongue, "Impressive. I told you, don't mess with women."

All I heard the other person say was—

“Brother said that when you can take action, you shouldn’t talk too much.” Xiaolan said, cracking her knuckles. She glared at the organization member lying on the ground. “I was worried that doing this might be too rude, but now I see that brother was right.”

As Ran spoke, she turned slightly to the side, which allowed Gin and Vodka to get a clear look at her.

“Brother, isn’t this the sister that Duago met along the way?” Vodka said. “What she just said, hehe, really sounds like something Duago would say.”

The man who had been punched to the ground was naturally furious. He touched his swollen lip and cheek. He immediately got up: "You wretched brat!"

“Boss, do you need help with this…” Before Vodka could finish speaking, Ran threw him over her shoulder, slamming him to the ground again. Vodka felt a pain in his chin. Gin glanced at Vodka, as if mocking him, “You’re worrying unnecessarily. I don’t know what that guy is teaching other people all day long.”

Vodka scratched his head. After being confronted twice by Xiaolan, the man staggered to his feet and pointed at Xiaolan, about to say something, when he caught a glimpse of Gin's cold expression out of the corner of his eye.

The man shuddered, and finally, sullenly clutching his swollen face, he limped away. Xiaolan noticed his gaze before he left, turned around, and saw Gin.

Ran had never met Gin before. He was tall and had a cold demeanor that instilled fear in people. She looked at Gin nervously, wondering if she had disturbed him with her argument with someone else.

"Where's your brother?" Xiaolan heard Gin ask. His voice was cold and his tone was neither happy nor angry, but she could sense that he meant no harm.

Xiaolan glanced at her watch: "My brother said he would come to pick me up, but he called earlier to say he had something to do and would be a little late."

Today, Xiaolan came to see Sanser for a "follow-up examination." After the examination, Xiaolan received a call from Jiang Jin saying that he would be late, so she decided to wait outside the base.

Unexpectedly, she encountered a rather "unfriendly" member of the organization halfway through. Xiaolan initially wanted to be polite, but in the end, she couldn't bear it any longer and chose to strike back hard.

“Big brother, Duago should have a mission today.” Vodka said after hearing Xiaolan’s words. Gin gave Vodka a strange look. “There’s a bar at the base. Don’t wander around outside.”

Vodka sized up Xiaolan: "Big brother, she seems to be underage, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gin glanced at Ran, as if asking a question with his eyes. However, his gaze was so cold that Ran shuddered and quickly replied, "Uh, I am indeed not an adult yet."

"It's okay, you can still come in, just no alcohol allowed," Vodka said with a smile. Xiaolan had never been to a bar before, and although she was a little curious, she subconsciously felt that she shouldn't go.

Gin reminded Ran not to wander off, firstly because he didn't trust her and didn't want her to roam freely within the base. Secondly, he was only saying it out of respect for Duago, to avoid any trouble.

He was about to call Vodka to leave when he heard Duago's voice approaching from afar, and then Gin saw a black figure rushing over at lightning speed.

"Brother, over here!" Before Xiao Lan could even wave, Jiang Jin, with his long legs, had already run over. "Boss, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

Xiaolan explained, "Just now, this... gentleman kindly reminded me that I could wait for you at the bar."

Jiang Jin immediately looked at Gin with a smile: "Really? Thank you, boss. You're such a nice guy."

Gin smirked, unsure whether to laugh or remain silent in the face of Jiang Jin's "unconventional" praise.

Vodka felt it necessary to let Duago know what had happened before he arrived: "Duago, your sister is quite skilled; she just knocked someone down with one punch."

Jiang Jin turned to look at Xiao Lan, like a parent being talked to by a teacher: "What? You got into a fight?"

Xiaolan pursed her lips, unsure how to explain, thinking to herself that she had caused trouble for her brother.

Vodka thought Duyago was angry, and thought to himself, "After all, she's a sister I met along the way... Duyago is such an eccentric person."

Since Vodka hadn't heard clearly why Xiaolan and another member of the organization were arguing, and felt that Duyago didn't value his younger sister much, he simply didn't say anything more.

But Gin glanced at him and saw that Duago's face did not have that sinister expression; instead, his slightly elongated eyes were wide open.

He immediately realized that the young man wouldn't say anything serious.

"Did you win the fight?"

Xiaolan lowered her head: "Brother, I didn't mean to... We won, wait?"

Jiang Jin looked relieved: "Oh, it's good that you won."

"Is this right, brother?" Xiao Lan looked blank. Jiang Jin patted Xiao Lan's shoulder and said earnestly, "This is absolutely right. When you're out in the world, you have to win people over with virtue."

Vodka: ?

Gin said nonchalantly, "Let's go, Vodka."

"Boss!" Jiang Jin called out, tossing the candy over. Gin instinctively caught the flying shadow, then looked down to see two pieces of candy. Jiang Jin grinned, "Thanks for taking care of the little one, boss."

Xiao Lan thought Jiang Jin would be angry with her for taking matters into her own hands and causing trouble. After Gin and Vodka left, she finally spoke up and asked, "Brother, are you really not angry with me for causing trouble?"

"Trouble? I am their biggest trouble." Jiang Jin walked beside Xiao Lan with his hands in his pockets. "Besides, if there is a problem, it must be someone else's problem. Our Xiao Lan is definitely not at fault."

Xiao Lan couldn't help but chuckle, but she naturally felt comforted by Jiang Jin's favoritism.

Maizuru City, Kyoto Prefecture, Higashiko Port

A thin mist shrouded Maizuru East Port, and a layer of mist enveloped the eastern port of Kyoto Prefecture. Sailors from the Wakasa Coast Guard discovered a suspicious vessel. One sailor boarded the abandoned, suspicious vessel alone, and while his flashlight swept across the area, he discovered several bombs.

The seamen immediately contacted headquarters, and through an examination of relevant data and parts on board, they determined that the ship most likely originated from overseas.

"This is Kurata. During patrol, we urgently contacted the Wakasa Security Department. Currently, a suspicious vessel carrying explosives has been discovered near Iwagishi in the Fourth Ward..."
