The rain that had been falling all morning gradually subsided, and finally cleared up around noon. The air after the rain was very fresh, and there were more pedestrians on the street.

The dark blue Jaguar pulled into the underground garage, and Jiang Jin got off, slung his violin case over his shoulder, and hopped on the Ducati parked next door. Kiel, of course, couldn't ride a Ducati to the Japanese TV station; they had already agreed to park it in the underground garage.

Jiang Jin raised his hand to check the time. It was 12:30 PM, and there was still half an hour before it was time to send Tumen Kanghui off.

The roar of the engine filled the underground garage as the black Ducati sped away like a black arrow.

Although they had temporarily lost information and clues about the organization's operation, Shuichi Akai and Conan did not give up. According to Conan, when Toago drove Rena Mizunashi's car out of the garage, a black Ducati drove away in the opposite direction.

Shuichi Akai deduced that the person riding that Ducati must be the real Rena Mizunashi. Akai immediately ordered an investigation to determine if Rena Mizunashi had appeared at Nichiriki Television.

Shortly after, Shuichi Akai received news that Rena Mizunashi had arrived at the television station and was preparing for an interview. The interview was scheduled for 1 p.m. and was a very important one. The interviewee was one of the leading candidates for the next prime minister—Yasuaki Tsuchimon.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's expression turned rather serious. He said, "Yasuhiro Tsuchimon? I know a bit about him. He's the captain of the Self-Defense Forces, and his father is an official in the Japanese Ministry of Defense. He has a lot of influence in the political world. He's kind and has a very strong sense of justice. Because he often makes extreme remarks against violent crimes, he's very popular with the public."

"He was hailed as the best candidate for future prime minister. However, this also offended many people. I heard that many people wanted to assassinate him and stop Tsuchimon Kanghui's development."

Shuichi Akai narrowed his eyes: "A prime ministerial candidate who is upright and incorruptible, and who has a strong aversion to gangs and terrorist organizations. If he is elected as the next prime minister, I think it will definitely bring considerable obstacles to the organization's infiltration into the political world, so their target is very likely this Yasuhiro Tsuchimon."

"Was the interview conducted at Nichiri TV station?" Conan asked.

Shuichi Akai shook his head: "No, it's in Beika Park, but the exact location is still unclear."

Jiang Jin has arrived at Beihu Park. If the long-range sniping fails, they have two alternative plans. One is that Jiang Jin will take advantage of the chaos created by Chianti and his group to assassinate Tumen Kanghui at close range.

Another plan was that if Jiang Jin also failed, Tu Men Kang Hui would inevitably move immediately, and then Vermouth would make her final move, striking again on the way to the relocation.

As for the sniper rifle in the violin case, it was certainly not intended to deal with Tsuchimon Kanghui, but rather Jiang Jin had prepared it for Akai Shuichi.

A young man appeared in front of the black Porsche. He knocked on the window, and Gin's side window rolled down.

"Did you shake off your tail?" Gin asked, turning his head to the side as he smoked a cigarette.

"Don't worry about me, boss." Jiang Jin bent down and leaned closer to the car window. "But what about Chianti and Cohen? Are they alright?"

Because he was close to Gin, Jiang Jin's voice came through both his own and Gin's earpieces into the communication channel, which greatly displeased Chianti.

“Duago, are you underestimating me?” Chianti’s voice came through the earpiece.

"That's not true, Chianti. I was just kindly reminding you, after all, opportunities are fleeting." Jiang Jin smiled slightly, knowing that if he were to intervene, things would inevitably escalate.

Chianti snorted coldly over the communication channel and fell silent. Jiang Jin didn't intend to provoke Chianti any further. He waved to Gin, turned around, put on a mask and hat, and mingled into the crowd at Beihu Park.

The television crew had arrived at Beika Park. The car door opened, and Rena Mizunashi, dressed in a business suit and holding a microphone, stepped out, followed by the rest of the crew. Among them was Rena Mizunashi's assistant, Akemi Miyano, who used the alias Masami Nagata.

Miyano Akemi was naturally not qualified to participate in such an important operation. Therefore, she had no idea what was about to happen. She only had a gut feeling that something was unusual about this interview.

The interview program began, and Rena Mizunashi was interviewing Yasuharu Tsuchimon according to the script. Jiang Jin was watching the interview process from a short distance away. At this time, for the sake of the interview effect, the bodyguards around Yasuharu Tsuchimon kept a certain distance from him.

Jiang Jin analyzed the situation. There were five bodyguards in total, and they all looked quite large. If he wanted to carry out a close-range assassination, he would have to blend in with the chaos as soon as it occurred.

"Mr. Tsuchimon, let's take a picture over here." Rena Mizunashi pointed to a bench not far ahead, which was Eddie's P-point. Tsuchimon Yasuhiro, without suspicion, followed Rena Mizunashi to the bench.

By this time, the park was already quite crowded with tourists, many of whom recognized Tsuchimon Yasuhiro from television. Upon seeing him, they all rushed forward to take photos with him, and Tsuchimon Yasuhiro, always approachable, stopped his bodyguards from stopping them.

"These people are really getting in the way." Chianti looked at the tourists blocking Tumen Kanghui's way to the target position through the sniper scope, his eyes showing a fierce displeasure.

“Don’t rush, Chianti,” Gin reminded him in a deep voice. “Kiel, get the DJ to the designated location as soon as possible.”

Rena Mizunashi stepped forward and said, "Mr. Tsuchimon, let's hurry up and finish the interview. That way, we can use the extra time to let you interact with the tourists here."

Tsuchimon Kanghui nodded: "That's right, don't waste your time." After saying that, he took the initiative to leave the tourists and followed Mizunashi Rena step by step closer to Chianti's shooting range.

As Jiang Jin watched Tsuchimon Kanghui get closer and closer to the planned position, his gaze swept around. He didn't care whether Chianti could hit the target; he was only worried that Conan or Akai Shuichi might interfere.

Just as Jiang Jin had expected, after confirming Rena Mizunashi's afternoon interview schedule, Shuichi Akai decisively headed to Beika Park.

However, Shuichi Akai refused to let Kogoro Mouri join the operation.

Because of his connections to the Metropolitan Police Department, Shuichi Akai didn't want the Japanese police to get involved. If they could rescue Yasutaka Tsuchimon from the organization, their investigation team might gain greater investigative and arrest powers within Japan.

“Mr. Mori would be better off leaving immediately and being protected by my colleagues. If we stop their actions, they will inevitably turn around and investigate where the problem lies,” said Shuichi Akai. “Yesterday, Mr. Mori was the only one who suddenly appeared with Rena Mizunashi. He is also a detective, so they might suspect you and try to silence you.”

Conan felt that Shuichi Akai's words made sense. He had already had too much contact with the organization, so he was like someone who had too many lice and wasn't afraid of being bitten. But Uncle Mori hadn't completely entered the organization's sights yet.

So when Kogoro Mouri returned to the agency, Shuichi Akai and Conan also arrived at Beika Park.

They saw Tsuchimon Yasunari being led by Mizunashi Rena to a bench.

Shuichi Akai, with keen insight, focused on the park bench, his gaze sweeping outwards. His sniper instincts and professional skills quickly led him to the most suitable sniping position. He was certain that an organized assassin was waiting for Yasuhiro Tsuchimon there.

"The organization's snipers should be lying in ambush over there," Shuichi Akai said. Conan glanced in the direction he pointed, then looked around.

We must find a way to stop the organization from assassinating Tsuchimon Kanghui!

He noticed the puddles on the ground that hadn't yet evaporated in the sun and turned to ask Shuichi Akai, "Mr. Akai, do you have a gun with you?"

Shuichi Akai glanced at Conan, then followed his gaze to the puddle on the ground. He turned and walked directly towards the bushes closest to Yasuhiro Tsuchimon.

There is a fire hydrant pipe there.

Before Shuichi Akai could even make a move, he felt a gust of wind rushing towards him from the side. Shuichi Akai immediately stopped and dodged to the side. A gleaming blade slashed past him, along with a hand wearing a black glove and gripping the hilt of a sword.

"Akai-kun, don't get in our way."
