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

Outside the hotel where Achiba was staying, Hattori Heiji and Conan met on the roadside. They learned that Achiba Kensuke was going to continue holding the competition.

Upon learning this, Ooka Momiji resolutely decided to continue participating in the competition. Having faced numerous attacks from political enemies targeting her grandfather throughout her life, she was no ordinary young girl.

If the murderer is really after her, then Ooka Momiji would be more willing to take the initiative to appear and lure the murderer out.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga did not let Inspector Megure reveal that the killer's real target was the Ooka family. He only said that the killer might be targeting the Satsuki-kai, so it would be natural for them to protect Ooka Momiji.

"I just got word that Kensuke Achiba and the others are going to Achiba Gymnasium to arrange tomorrow's match," Heiji Hattori told Conan. "The police will probably be with them for protection."

Shortly after, a police car appeared, followed by Achiba Kensuke, Ooka Momiji, and Sekine's car.

“Let’s follow them.” Heiji Hattori said, straddling the motorcycle, with Conan jumping onto the back seat.

Several cars stopped at the traffic light, with Heiji Hattori's motorcycle at the very back. Just as Conan's gaze shifted elsewhere, one of the police cars suddenly burst into flames, and an explosion occurred in an instant.

The explosion even reached Hattori Heisei and Conan at the back. The two were thrown over by the heat and stared in disbelief at the burning car: "The one that exploded, it looks like Sekine's car."

Meanwhile, Zhu Shitiao, who was also keeping watch from the shadows, made a phone call while holding binoculars: "Erha, did you plant the bomb?"

Mingyuan's angry voice came from the other end of the phone: "What 'husky,' what 'husky'? Don't be so boundless like Jiang Jin, okay? And what bomb? Isn't the operation supposed to start tomorrow?"

"You didn't put it there? Interesting." Zhu Shitiao clicked his tongue twice, and Mingyuan reacted by asking, "What happened?"

“I was keeping an eye on Ooka Momiji and the others, and just now, a car exploded between them,” Zhu Shitiao replied. Mingyuan was very surprised. “What? It exploded? Is the person alright? Reporter Zhao’s article hasn’t been published yet.”

Zhu Shitiao watched as the car burst into flames, and the two police cars in front and behind him all jumped out of the vehicle. Iori Muga helped Ooka Momiji out of the car, and Achiba Kensuke seemed to be unharmed.

“Ooka Momiji is fine. It seems like the person who was killed in the explosion was just an unlucky guy,” Takeshi Tōji judged.

Conan got up from the ground and looked at the burning car in front of him: "No way."

"They actually planted a bomb in the car." Hattori Heiji righted the motorcycle, and Conan asked in confusion, "Why did the culprit target Sekine? If they could plant a bomb in the car, why didn't they just attack their target directly?"

Because of the attack on Ooka Momiji and her group, the police convened another meeting.

"How is Mr. Sekine now?"

"The hospital said he's still unconscious, and the chances of him surviving are about 50/50."

Lin Shengsu sat behind the long table in the conference room, his head down, typing on a message. Suddenly, someone called on him: "Officer Lin, what do you think?"

What do I think? I'll just sit here and watch. Lin Sheng, suddenly called upon, looked up and placed his phone face down on the table: "Whether it's the Nichiuri TV station or the explosion just now, it's clear the culprit's target is the Satsuki-kai. So I'd like to ask Chairman Achiba, has the Satsuki-kai offended any people or organizations?"

"This..." Achiba Kensuke's expression was solemn, it was unclear whether he didn't want to say more about the matter, or he couldn't figure out who Satsuki had offended.

At this moment, Rinzo held up his phone and looked at Kensuke Achiba: "By the way, Chairman, do you know this person named Nagoro Shikao?"

Achiba Kensuke's expression changed: "Where did you get this photo?!"

“Our police force naturally has its own investigative methods. Seeing how surprised you are, Chairman,” Lin Shengsu said with a righteous expression. “Then please tell us.”

Achiha Kensuke hesitated for a few seconds before introducing the man named Nagoro Shikao to everyone. This man was also a karuta master who had founded a karuta organization called Nagoro-kai.

However, Achiba Kensuke expressed some dissatisfaction with Nagoro Shikao's karuta style and personality. He also revealed that five years ago, Nagoro Shikao had challenged his wife, Satsuki, to a duel.

Whoever loses has to disband the karuta club.

"However, when the match came, Ming Qing never showed up, so the match couldn't be considered a winner or loser. After that, he never appeared again."

Conan asked, "What about that person, Qinghui?"

"Because the Meishokai lost its chairman, it was disbanded," Kensuke Achiba replied.

Upon hearing Achiba Kensuke's words, Lin Shengsu's eyes flickered. He knew that Jiang Jin had sent him the photo. Moreover, he also knew that Achiba Kensuke had sent his secretary to plant a bomb at the television station.

Could it be that Jiang Jin guessed right? Because this Satsuki president was afraid of losing the match, so she killed her opponent?

Rin-suke speculates that today's unexpected explosion was likely the work of Kensuke Achiba. Could it be that Sekine did something similar five years ago?

"So, now that the Nagorokai has disbanded, what will happen to the other members of the Karabikai?" Hattori Heiji asked again.

"The Satsuki Association naturally welcomes other people to join, but in the end only two people joined."

"Could it be Ooka Momiji and Sekine?" Conan's reaction was always very sharp, and Inspector Megure couldn't help but speculate, "Could it be that this explosion was done by Nagoro as revenge against the Satsuki Association? If so, it wouldn't be hard to understand why they would target Ms. Ooka Momiji and Mr. Sekine."

But he didn't understand. If it was targeting the Satsuki-kai, how could he explain the threatening letter sent to the Ooka family? But he couldn't say that in front of everyone.

Conan felt that things were not so simple. If it was Nagayoshi, why did he wait five years to take revenge? Hattori Heiji had only learned about the threatening letter received by the Ooka family yesterday, so when he whispered this to Conan, Conan became even more suspicious that this could not have been done by one person.

Tokyo Municipal Hospital

Jiang Jin was still wearing his hoodie, standing in the corner silently staring at Iori Muga and Ooka Momiji in the distance. His group members had sent him a message: Sekine's car had been bombed. It was obvious that the chairman was behind it.

He didn't care why Kensuke Achiba had acted, but Ooka Momiji couldn't afford to get hurt right now, so Jiang Jin personally followed him to the hospital.

"Has that wallet still not been found?" Ooka Momiji asked the bodyguard beside her. She lost her wallet yesterday, which contained photos of her teacher and Hattori Heiji, and was very important to her.

The bodyguard shook his head: "I'm sorry, miss."

Ooka Momiji sighed, "If we really can't find it, then there's nothing we can do."

Iori Mugo came out of the treatment room, and Momiji got up to ask about his condition. Fortunately, Iori Mugo only had some superficial injuries.

The three walked towards Jiang Jin. Jiang Jin left the wall he was leaning against and headed towards Iori Muga. The two passed each other for only a few seconds. Iori Muga took a few steps, then, sensing something was wrong, turned around abruptly, only to find that the person in the black hoodie was no longer visible.

"What's wrong, Iori?" Ooka Momiji asked curiously. Iori Muga turned around and took a pink wallet out of her coat pocket. "That person in the black hoodie just now put this on me."
