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

An explosion occurred at the Yomiuri TV station. Although the police and firefighters arrived at the scene, all they could do was provide medical assistance and evacuate those who had fled. They had absolutely no leads or clues about the perpetrator and could only watch as thick black smoke billowed from the TV station building.

After learning from the staff that someone was planning to bomb the TV station, Conan and Heiji Hattori didn't have time to analyze the situation before the TV station exploded, and the two quickly separated.

With Iori's protection, Ooka Momiji escaped the TV station safely without any major incident, and Conan and Kogoro Mouri also managed to escape.

Conan looked around and realized that Heiji Hattori and Kazuha hadn't come out yet. What followed was naturally Conan's chance to put on a show of extreme rescue, but none of that mattered.

After seeing the TV station successfully explode, Jiang Jin turned and left against the flow of the crowd.

The television station was in complete disarray. Most of the people who had escaped the building had already gone to the hospital or received treatment in ambulances. Fire trucks were putting out the final cleanup work, extinguishing the fires caused by the explosion.

Regarding the explosion, the police quickly contacted Kogoro Mouri and invited him to the Metropolitan Police Department to participate in the investigation meeting.

Conan and Heiji Hattori naturally couldn't go, but the former still planted a bug on Kogoro Mouri as usual.

After a hissing sound from the bugging device, a voice gradually became clearer: "Next, we will begin the first search meeting for this case..."

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department

The conference room was filled with police officers, and those attending the meeting included not only Tokyo police, but also Kyoto police officer Ayanokoji and the Public Security Bureau representative, Rin-sou.

Looking at the room full of police officers, Lin Shengsu felt very proud. As expected of his group members, they made a big show of things and managed to gather so many cops.

Because the site of the TV station explosion was still being cleared, the meeting focused solely on the email that the police had received before the incident.

The anonymous email was displayed on the large screen so that everyone could see it clearly.

After reading the email, Kogoro Mouri asked, "Have you found out who sent this email?"

"Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to trace the source of this email. The sender's IP address hopped through multiple servers, making them a very difficult opponent."

Inspector Megure asked, "So, what are your thoughts on the signature of this email, Mr. C?"

The group looked at each other, clearly none of them had ever heard of this 'Mr. C'.

Sato Miwako stood up and said, "Although the email was signed by one person, the fact that it said 'we' in the content is something we should examine."

"Since your Metropolitan Police Department can't find anything on this email lead, then let's hand it over to the Public Security Bureau."

Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department building, Conan and Heiji Hattori were talking while listening to the meeting through their earpieces. Conan said to Heiji, "The person who sent the email seems to be a computer whiz; it's amazing how the police have such a hard time locating his IP address."

"I didn't expect the public security police to come too," Hattori Heiji said. Conan also seemed thoughtful. He recognized the voice of the public security police officer. "It sounded like Officer Rin's voice just now."

"Who is that?" Hattori Heiji clearly did not recognize the person Conan was talking about.

“They're police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Division. I met them when we were investigating the Curaçao incident. It seems things aren't that simple.” Conan frowned. “If it were just an attack, why would it easily alert the Public Security Division?”

Hattori Heiji recalled the email's signature: "What do you think of that Mr. C in the email? Could it be... one of those people?"

Conan knew that Hattori Heiji was referring to the Black Organization, but he immediately shook his head: "It shouldn't be them. Although those people are ruthless, they would never be so ostentatious, let alone leave a notice. Mr. C... I've never heard of him."

After the meeting ended and everyone dispersed, Conan and Heiji Hattori waited for Kogoro Mouri to come out. Conan, with his sharp eyes, spotted Muga Iori and Inspector Ayanokoji appearing together.

Both of them had serious expressions. Then Lin Shengsu came out from behind, said something to them, and then left in a hurry.

"Butler Iori, what's he doing here too..."

Tokyo Municipal Hospital

Achiba Kensuke walked out of the treatment room with gauze covering his face, and his assistant and Ooka Momiji immediately surrounded him.

"President, are you alright?"

Achiba shook his head: "It's nothing, just a minor scratch."

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, while Ooka Momiji was still thinking about what Iori Muga had told her at the TV station: the culprit was after her and the Ooka family, so she felt very apologetic.

“I never expected this to happen…” Ooka Momiji said in a low voice, and Achiba also looked regretful. “Indeed, it seems that this year’s Satsuki Cup will have to be suspended, since the karuta cards used in the competition have probably been destroyed by the explosion.”

Ooka Momiji said, "You don't need to worry about that, the karuta deck is still intact."

Achiba's eyes widened immediately: "What did you say!"

The assistant, thinking Achiba was surprised and happy, quickly told him, "It's Mirai-ko. She risked her life to bring the karuta cards out while she was evacuating, and she even injured her arm in the process."

Achiba paused for a few seconds upon hearing this, then gave a stiff smile: "Oh, I see... Well, that's good, at least the karuta is still here..."

Seeing his assistant's happy expression, Kensuke Achiba remained silent for a few seconds before saying to her, "Then please go and visit this Miraiko-san on my behalf. The explosion has caused quite a stir, and I'm afraid I'll have to personally handle the subsequent Satsuki Cup matches."

The assistant had no suspicions, and since Daigang Hongye was also planning to visit Mirai, the two of them left together.

Kensuke Achiba watched the two figures leave, his brow furrowing as he thought about what they had said about the karuta cards not being destroyed in the explosion.

He turned and walked down the hospital corridor, lost in thought, when suddenly someone called out to him from behind: "Chairman Achiba."

Achiba turned around at the sound and saw a person wearing a black hoodie and a mask standing behind him. The person was staring at him with dark red eyes, a look that made Achiba Kensuke feel a little uneasy.

This person was none other than Jiang Jin.

"Who... are you?" Kensuke Achiba looked around. Although this was a hospital, there was hardly anyone around.

"I have something I'd like to show the chairman." Jiang Jin's tone was slow but carried a sense of pressure as he took out a photograph from his pocket and held it out in the air.

Kensuke Achiba looked over, and his expression changed abruptly when he saw what was in the photo. But he quickly regained his composure: "What does this mean?"

"This person, was he sent by you, Chairman?"
