Inside the room, the silver-haired young man was dressed in a hospital gown, his left wrist handcuffed to the armrest of the bed. He leaned forward, his expression eccentric.

"Akai-kun, you wouldn't be thinking of me as your spy, would you?"

Shuichi Akai raised an eyebrow slightly: "I don't think I'm that far-fetched."

Jiang Jin let out a muffled laugh, then looked at Shuichi Akai with an expression of attentive listening.

Hideaki Akai stood up, arms crossed: "Are you interested in making a deal...?"

The next day.

Conan returned to Beika Hospital. Yesterday, he had identified three suspicious patients, and he suspected that one of them was sent by the organization to gather information.

The person in the ward remained lying on the bed with their eyes closed, showing no signs of waking up.

"Akai, I'll go in and keep an eye on things for a while. You go and get some rest." Kawano Ki tried to enter the ward again, mentally preparing herself for what to do if Akai Shuichi refused. Unexpectedly, he just glanced at the ward and nodded. "Okay, thank you."

Kawano Ki: ? Why did they suddenly agree? It really is divine metal!

The door to the ward opened, and Kawano Kiri stepped inside, turning around to gently close the door behind her. She walked to a corner out of sight from the glass window of the ward and whispered, "Immersion God? Immersion God, are you awake?"

Jiang Jin remained with his eyes closed on the hospital bed, but Kawano Qi could still hear his voice, low and even a little hoarse: "Hmm?"

"Conan has found three people who are suspected to be members of the organization, and they are investigating them now." Kawano Ki told Jiang Jin the situation outside in a concise manner. "Jin Shen, have you thought of a way to leave? Is there anything we can help you with? Everyone in the group is very worried about you."

"Don't panic, listen to me. From now on, whatever Akai Shuichi does, react normally." Jiang Jin replied in a low voice, "By the way, what about those things on my body?"

Kawano Ki replied, "They've all been put away, but I should be able to get them."

"Then I'll have to trouble you. At least get the phone and the badge that Ayumi made back."

On the third night after Jiang Jin was arrested.

In the dead of night, Kusuda Rikudo appeared in the corridor wearing a hospital gown. His purpose was to find the medical record placed at the nurses' station and locate the organization member, Duyago, whom he was asked to find.

Kusuda Rikudo took out a hidden camera and photographed all the medical records at the nurses' station. After he finished taking the photos and reconstructing the records, he suddenly looked up and felt that everything had gone a little too smoothly.

He became alert and prepared to leave the nurses' station.

Finally, as Kusuda Rikudo walked out of the nurses' station, a nurse suddenly appeared, and Kusuda Rikudo tensed up.

"What are you doing here so late?" the nurse asked.

Kusuda Rikudo stammered for a moment, and as he was thinking of an excuse, the nurse spoke again: "Alright, please go back to your ward quickly."

The nurse waved her hand expressionlessly and walked into the nurses' station on her own. As she brushed past Nanami Rikudo, he suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute, aren't you being a little too indifferent? At this hour, you're not even curious why I'm here? You don't even ask if there's anything wrong."

Kusuda Rikudo said, his eyes flashing with a menacing glint, "You're not a nurse here, are you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, figures suddenly emerged from various rooms outside the nurses' station. They were FBI agents who had been lying in wait there, among whom the red-haired Kawano Ki was the most conspicuous.

She pointed her gun at Kusuda Riku and said, "You can't escape!"

Kusuda Rikudo grinned maliciously and ripped off the restraints on his neck, revealing a time bomb collar around his neck.

"Don't come any closer! Unless you want to die with me!" Kusuda Rikudo raised the remote control in his hand. "And if you touch the bomb around my neck, it will explode immediately! Then everyone here will be finished."

Kawano Kiri waved to the others: "Everyone, step back! Let him go."

In the hospital ward, Shuichi Akai stood by the window watching Rikudo Kusuda, who had successfully escaped from the hospital, drive away.

Jiang Jin sat on the bed. Only Akai Shuichi and himself knew that he was now awake.

“He sends the medical records back, and the organization will know my location and situation in the hospital. But how can you be sure they’re coming to rescue me or kill me?” Jiang Jin said slowly, leaning against the bed.

Shuichi Akai turned his head, his deep green eyes still clearly visible in the dark room. Instead of answering, he asked, "If they came to kill you, what would you do?"

“You’re only trying to kill me because you’re worried I’ll reveal secrets or be turned by you. All I need to do is…” Jiang Jin raised his hand and made a cut across his neck, grinning as he said, “kill one of you to prove to the organization that I’m innocent.”

Akai Hideichi was not surprised by Jiang Jin's answer; he never thought the other party would be the type to be turned.

“Since you’ve already thought it through, why ask me? You probably don’t care about this kind of question at all, right?” Akai Shuichi said.

Jiang Jin smiled. Indeed. He would be happy if the organization sent someone to rescue him, but it was also understandable if they came to kill him. However, he was confident he could prove to the organization that he was alright.

After all, if he didn't do this, would he have to confess to Shuichi Akai and be treated leniently, or resist and be punished severely, and be arrested and thrown in jail?

On the other side, Gin, sitting in the Porsche, was smoking a cigarette. The red glow of the cigarette tip flickered, and the smoke made his expression somewhat indistinct.

"Drip-"

His phone beeped with a message notification, and Gin opened the email. After carefully reading through it, a slight smirk appeared on his lips, but then he seemed to remember something and suppressed it again.

"Brother, have you found the person?" Vodka asked, turning his head.

Gin, a cigarette dangling from his lips, spoke in a low, slightly muffled voice: "Yes, we've found it. Inform Vermouth to proceed according to plan."

Four days after Jiang Jin's arrest, several food poisoning incidents suddenly occurred in Beihu City. Furthermore, multiple explosions also occurred in public places such as cinemas, theaters, and small shopping malls.

The hospital was overcrowded.

This matter immediately attracted the attention of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which dispatched its First Investigation Division to investigate the case.

Around 10 a.m., after a sudden surge in patients at the hospital, a huge number of express deliveries were suddenly delivered to the hospital's inpatient department, with almost every inpatient receiving one.

"Hello, is there anyone here named Shuichi Akai?" A deliveryman holding a bouquet of flowers was asking at the nurses' station.

The nurse shook her head and said, "We don't have such a patient here."

"He shouldn't be a patient..."

Shuichi Akai and Kiri Kawano overheard their conversation as they passed by, exchanged a glance, and walked over.

"Give these flowers to us," Kawano Ki said, taking the bouquet from the deliveryman.

After the deliveryman left, the two of them took the bouquet of flowers back to the room next to Jiang Jin's ward, which they temporarily used as a meeting room and place to stay.

"Hmm? Ms. Kawano, where did these flowers come from?" Conan asked curiously when he saw the bouquet in Kawano Ki's hand as she walked in, and the others also cast puzzled glances at her.

"It's for Akai." Kawano Ki placed the bouquet on the table, picked up the card and looked at it. "It's just a very ordinary blessing, but why would someone send flowers at this time?"

Conan leaned over the table, getting closer to the bouquet of flowers, when suddenly he heard something unusual coming from inside the bouquet.

He waved his hand and said, "Have you heard any strange noises?"

Shuichi Akai paused for a moment, then stepped forward, tore open the outer packaging of the bouquet, and took out all the flowers inside. Only then did he discover that there was a bundle of plastic bombs underneath the bouquet.

In addition, there was a piece of paper stuck to the bomb—

"We just delivered sixty packages to patients at the hospital, and a third of them contained this bundle of plastic explosives you received. They're powerful enough to raze this hospital to the ground. Good luck!"

Conan frowned deeply: "What are they trying to do? If they wanted to kill Duago, they could have just sent a bomb. Why did they have to come and tell us?"

"It seems they're trying to use these bombs to force us to move people out. The hospital is in complete chaos right now. The Metropolitan Police Department is involved too." Shuichi Akai's expression remained calm. "It won't be long before the Public Security Bureau catches the scent and comes over. Duyago really can't stay here any longer."
