Nichiri TV

Since Kensuke Achiba had not yet arrived, the conversation had not yet begun. After the rehearsal, the production team informed everyone that they could go and rest on their own for the time being.

In the corridor, a person wearing a black hoodie and carrying a tool bag brushed past Conan as he came out of the restroom.

A sense of danger made Conan's hair stand on end. He stopped abruptly and turned to look, but the other person didn't turn around and quickly turned into the other side of the corridor.

Perhaps he was overthinking it. That was the only way Conan could console himself.

The phone vibrated in the corridor, but the person walking didn't stop: "What's wrong... is someone else?" A moment of surprise flashed in the dark red eyes behind the hoodie and mask, but then he regained his composure. "It's okay, the police will have to find someone eventually. If they can't catch us, they can catch someone else."

He yanked open the emergency exit door and then slammed it shut: "By the way, did that person put the things away?"

The reply from the other side was, "Let it go."

“Then let’s replace the items with ours, and give this uninvited guest a little surprise.” As he spoke, he walked towards the stairs, but the security cameras in the stairwell never captured his face.

Conan returned to the studio with a heavy heart, while the others were discussing karuta and their guest, Kensuke Achiba.

"What's wrong, Kudo?" Heiji Hattori noticed Conan's expression and asked him in a low voice. Conan shook his head, "Oh, nothing."

Meanwhile, in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's conference room, a group of police officers were frowning. Just an hour earlier, their inboxes had received an email that had been recently discovered by cyber police.

The contents of the email horrified the police: "To the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, officers, we are going to bomb the Nichiri TV station today. Please be aware!"

Signed: Mr. C.

"Isn't this prisoner way too arrogant? This is clearly a provocation!"

"This is a blatant disregard for the police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!"

……

The police officers in the conference room were outraged upon seeing the email. Inspector Megure looked at the supervising officer, Kiyonaga Matsumoto, whose expression was grim.

He was about to be promoted to head of the First Investigation Division when this huge incident happened. Even if Matsumoto Kiyonaga was an upright person, anyone would feel a headache in this matter.

What the other officers didn't know was that, along with this email, another letter was sent to him at the Metropolitan Police Department. However, this letter wasn't for him, but rather…

"Anyway, has the TV station notified them about this?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga asked. Inspector Megure nodded. "We've already sent someone to inform them and told them to evacuate immediately."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga ordered all the police officers to take immediate action, and then solemnly called Inspector Megure aside.

"Manager Matsumoto?" Inspector Megure looked at Matsumoto Kiyonaga with suspicion as he took a letter from his desk drawer and handed it to him. After reading the letter, his expression changed drastically. "Manager, this..."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga waved his hand and said in a low voice, "You must not spread this matter. Since it involves that important figure, we will probably have to ask the police to intervene."

In the recording studio, Kensuke Achiba had already arrived on set when a staff member rushed in, saying that he couldn't get in touch with Yajima.

Fortunately, there was still some time before filming, so Kensuke Achiba had someone continue to contact Yajima, and at the same time, he brought in Sekine as a substitute, just in case.

In the corridor of the television station, Conan and his friends had just left the recording studio and were about to grab something to eat. Suddenly, a serious female voice came over the loudspeaker: "The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has just issued an emergency evacuation notice. Please suspend all work and evacuate the television station from the nearest emergency exit..."

Everyone stopped to listen to what was being said on the radio, and everyone was naturally very curious. Conan suddenly remembered the unsettling repairman in the black hoodie he had encountered in the corridor.

Ooka Momiji, who was in the lounge, also came out of her room, but Iori Muga was not with her. She was standing in the corridor when she saw Hattori Heiji, so she immediately walked towards them.

"Heiji, do you know what's going on? Is something wrong with the TV station?" Ooka Momiji asked.

Hattori Heiji shook his head, equally confused. Seeing that she was alone, he asked her, "Where's Butler Iori? Why isn't she with you?"

"Iori seemed to have received a very urgent phone call just now, and he went to answer it," Ooka Momiji replied, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart as she listened to the repeated announcement on the radio.

A commotion gradually broke out in the television station, and upon hearing the broadcast, Onoshi immediately ran out of his office without hesitation. Before anyone else knew what was happening, Onoshi had already run two miles.

After leaving the TV station, he made a phone call, panting, "The TV station has already started evacuation."

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Jin stood under the shade of a tree, looking up at the TV station building, wearing a mask and a hoodie covering him.

"Did you escape?"

Ono Shi hurriedly replied, "I ran out as soon as I heard the broadcast."

Jiang Jin's lips curled up beneath his mask: "Then hide it well, bro." With that, he slender fingers swiped across his phone screen, opened a chat window, and sent a message: "Plan begins."

Across the street from the TV station, a short-haired girl wearing a baseball cap stood under a lamppost, her black mask pulled down to her chin. She blew a pink bubble with chewing gum, and then "pop!"—a huge explosion occurred at the TV station across the street, and thick smoke billowed out from it.

The street erupted into chaos immediately, but the short-haired girl simply rolled the bubble gum back into her mouth and continued chewing, her brown eyes coldly observing the commotion.

Someone who had been hiding in the crowd was shocked to see the TV station explode. He incredulously pulled out his hand, adorned with a gemstone ring, from his pocket. In his hand, he held a detonator.

But he hadn't pressed the button at all, so how could the bomb have exploded? His hands trembled as he pulled out his phone: "Hello? I didn't activate the bomb. Someone else wants to blow up the TV station. What do we do now?"

Without knowing what the other person said, the person left in a hurry.

Meanwhile, at the television station, because the broadcast had only been made recently and others were still unaware of the situation and had not had time to evacuate, many people were still in a state of panic due to the sudden explosion.

Fortunately, some staff members at the TV station remembered to evacuate, and people began to escape from the emergency staircases while bending over.

Even before the broadcast started, Conan and Heiji Hattori rushed to the recording studio. Just as they heard from the staff there that someone was going to blow up the TV station, the explosion occurred.

Because she was still wearing a kimono, Ooka Momiji was having some difficulty moving around. Just as she was about to fall, Iori Muga appeared in time, but his expression was very serious: "Miss, please do not leave me no matter what. I will take you out."

He had just received a call from the head of the Ooka family. The Metropolitan Police Department had received a letter, the contents of which were vague, but it was clear that it was aimed at the Ooka family.

The explosion occurred at the television station, where the young lady happened to be. Clearly, the perpetrator claimed that the television station was the target, but his real aim was the young lady!

"Iori, what happened?" Ooka Momiji asked hurriedly. Iori Muku simply explained, "Someone is targeting the Ooka family. This explosion is likely aimed at you, young lady."
