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

The Satsuki Cup tournament has officially begun. Near the Achiba Gymnasium, several police cars are already deployed in preparation for any unforeseen events.

Due to the possibility of unexpected dangers during the competition, this competition will be broadcast live, and viewers can watch the competition from another venue.

Three people were sitting in a campervan near the venue.

Qiushan Yuying whispered to Zhu Shitiao beside her, "Who has offended Jiang Jin again? Why is he acting like his wife has died?"

"Is that how you describe it?" Zhu Shitiao was also dumbfounded. "But he certainly didn't seem to be in a good mood."

Could it be that Jiang Jin discovered my post? Qiu Shan Yu Ying pondered, "That shouldn't be the case! Didn't Wu Yu say that she encrypted the website?"

Besides, if he had seen me, he would have already chased after me, not just sat here.

“That was last night, related to that phone call that took him away…” Before Qiushan Yuying could finish, Jiang Jin turned and glared at her, “I’m not deaf, am I? Can’t you show me some respect?”

At that moment, the walkie-talkie in the RV crackled to life: "This is Erha, point A is ready."

"This is Pei Nan, and point B is ready."

"And me, Du Ziteng. Point C is also OK."

Zhu Shitiao's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the walkie-talkie, saying, "Received, received. After everyone presses the red button on it, evacuate immediately according to plan."

There were two large screens in front of Jiang Jin: one was a live broadcast of the match, and the other was footage from the surveillance cameras infiltrating the venue by Wu Yu.

Ooka Momiji was among the crowd of people competing, but the operation wouldn't start immediately; they would wait until the police's excitement subsided before taking action.

Inside the venue, Mingyuan, who was in charge of the power distribution room at point A, was now like a husky crouching down again, even more agile than before. Even if he wasn't scaling walls, he was perfectly capable of nimbly dodging the guards patrolling the area.

He left the power distribution room without incident, pulled his mask up a bit, and since he was already wearing the uniform of a venue staff member, he blended in easily.

Kawano Ki infiltrated the stadium's monitoring room at point B. Although Wu Yu had already hacked into the monitoring system, it was still necessary to be on the safe side, and the simplest and easiest way was to blow it up.

There are no police here, but the security guards hired by Achiba are not ordinary people; many of them seem to be from professional security companies.

But for Kawano Ki, it only takes a little time.

After taking down everyone in the monitoring room, Kawano Kiri shoved the bomb under the table where the computer was. Naturally, no one there could stop her from leaving.

Gen Sōsuke, who specifically took time off from the sushi restaurant, clearly loves this job. He was responsible for planting bombs in some corridors. However, he wasn't alone; he was with three other group members, since the venue was so large that he couldn't handle it all by himself.

There were many police officers and security guards in the passageway, so this was a technical task: how to plant a bomb without being detected?

The answer, of course, is before the police arrive.

Because of the upcoming competition, some parts of the venue needed renovation, so Gensou and his friends pretended to be renovation workers.

They planted the bomb while the renovations were underway. That way, they wouldn't seem strange even if they walked around the venue.

Karuta tournaments are inherently time-consuming and physically demanding, making the process lengthy. After half a day, the competition entered the semi-finals.

By one or two o'clock, everyone was exhausted. The music playing during the competition was slow and obscure, almost like a lullaby.

Jiang Jin roused himself and slammed his hand on the table, startling the other two people in the car: "It's about time. We can move out now. It's time to give them a pep talk."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shitiao immediately woke up from her drowsiness, rubbed her eyes, and grabbed her phone. Her phone screen had two rows of power buttons, and Zhu Shitiao pressed two of the green ones.

The warning light on the bomb in the power distribution room immediately changed from red to green, and then a burst of sparks erupted from the power distribution room.

Ooka Momiji, who was playing a match in the arena, was listening to music playing on a tape recorder and preparing to take a card from her opponent when she suddenly felt the floor beneath her feet tremble, and even the light above her head swayed. She stumbled as she drew her card, almost falling to the side.

The other contestants naturally noticed the unusual commotion, and soon after someone asked what had happened, all the lights in the entire venue went out.

This situation caught the police off guard.

They initially thought the murderer's inaction for half a day was likely because he was waiting for the final contestant to enter the Satsuki Hall before making his move.

Unexpectedly, the perpetrator attacked halfway through the match, and once again they were unable to stop him.

Inside the police command vehicle, besides Inspector Megure and Inspector Ayanokoji, were Conan, Heiji Hattori, and Kogoro Mouri. They had originally been observing the stadium through surveillance cameras, but those cameras had long been controlled by Wu Yu, and what they saw before the explosion was not the real surveillance footage.

Therefore, when the surveillance footage returned to its original state after the explosion, all that could be seen was complete darkness inside the venue.

The walkie-talkie crackled with a panicked officer's voice: "Inspector, something's wrong. There's a strong possibility of an explosion in the stadium's electrical room, so the entire stadium is now plunged into darkness. It's unclear whether the explosions will continue..."

Without saying a word, Conan and Heiji Hattori rushed out of the command vehicle and headed towards the stadium.

"How's it going? Can you get through?" Conan asked Heiji Hattori, who was on the phone with Kazuha, as he ran. Heiji frowned and shook his head. "I can't get through. It's just a busy signal."

"I thought the culprit hadn't made a move because they weren't sure if Ooka Momiji would enter the Satsuki Hall. I didn't expect them to suddenly take action halfway through the match. Why is that?" Conan still felt that this case was more than just a simple matter involving President Achiba.

While running, Hattori Heiji suddenly said, "Could it be that there are just too many people in the preliminary rounds?"

Conan was taken aback: "You mean, the culprit was waiting just to reduce the number of people in the venue? What is the culprit planning to do?"

"I can't figure it out right now, but we need to get to the venue first."

Inside the RV, the surveillance footage in front of Jiang Jin was already automatically converted to night vision, so he could see the situation inside the venue very clearly.

Chaos reigned in the stadium; some were frantically trying to escape in the dark, while others stood frozen, unsure what to do. Ooka Momiji was also extremely nervous; she suspected the power outage was likely the work of the culprit. However, she couldn't fathom what the perpetrator's motive was.

Amid the chaos, an announcement suddenly came over the loudspeaker: "Please do not panic. Line up and exit the competition area through the three emergency exits one by one."

Some people were directing the crowd inside the venue, and the unrest was subsiding. Ooka Momiji also followed the flow of people, preparing to leave through one of the exits.

On the dark green surveillance screen, Jiang Jin finally spotted Ooka Momiji. After pinpointing her location, he immediately contacted his group members waiting inside the venue via walkie-talkie.

“I’ve found Ooka Momiji; she’s at the competition venue and is about to leave from Exit C.”
