Inside Beika Hospital, a surge in patients and a massive number of unidentified packages have thrown the hospital into chaos. Amidst this chaos, a standoff is taking place in one of the hospital's treatment rooms.

It was described as a standoff, but it was difficult to determine who was in a superior position. Matsuda Jinpei was leaning against the wall, with the room door on his right, but Jiang Jin naturally wouldn't give him a chance to escape or suddenly attack. So, apart from the threatening arm across Matsuda Jinpei's neck, Jiang Jin had already restrained Matsuda Jinpei's hands.

It seemed that Jiang Jin had the upper hand, but because he had to focus all his efforts on controlling Matsuda Jinpei, Jiang Jin didn't have any free hands to defend against any attacks.

"Officer Matsuda, now that you know my secret, what are you going to do?" Matsuda Jinpei looked at the mocking smile in Jiang Jin's eyes and listened to his malicious tone. He merely raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "So what do you want? To kill me to silence me?"

Jiang Jin chuckled lightly: "How could that be? I wouldn't dare kill a policeman. I just want Officer Matsuda to be my hostage."

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at Conan's place was tense because of Jiang Jin's disappearance. The FBI agents had already prepared for the transfer operation, but unexpectedly, he suddenly ran away.

Conan, his brow furrowed, examined the patient's surroundings in the ward.

“The window was open, and there were footprints on the small balcony outside,” Conan said, looking up at the four people inside. “I just saw what looked like footprints on the small balcony next door. I suspect that Duago went through the window to the next room and then left from there.”

Conan, however, felt that something was amiss. Duago had been unconscious for the past few days, so how did he suddenly wake up today? And precisely just as they were all starting to act, Duago woke up.

Could it be that he had already woken up? Conan guessed that Duyago had actually been pretending to be unconscious. But if that were the case… Conan couldn’t help but turn his gaze to Shuichi Akai, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He couldn’t tell what Shuichi Akai was thinking for a moment.

Did Mr. Akai not notice anything at all? After all, he was the one who had been monitoring Duyago in the hospital room.

Poor Conan, he was completely manipulated.

Little did he know that in this room, besides James, the other three people—Shuichi Akai, Kiyoshi Kawano, and Mika—were all rapists to varying degrees.

Jiang Jin's accomplices were able to successfully escape.

"Cough cough..." Just then, the hospital's loudspeaker suddenly came on, "Hello, can you hear me?"

"What is this?" James had never met Jiang Jin before, so he looked puzzled, while the other three recognized the voice on the radio.

"Duyago!"

"Officers, how's the bomb search going? You guys seem to be getting a bit too monotonous with this one game, so how about I set up a bit of a challenge for you?" Jiang Jin's voice rang out from the loudspeaker, which was broadcast on every floor of the hospital, and everyone was immediately drawn to the announcement.

"I've invited a police officer to help me prepare this game. He's currently in a room in the hospital, with those delivery boxes around him. But whether there are bombs inside the boxes or not, you'll have to find them out with the officer."

Everyone caught the one important message on the broadcast: there was a bomb in the hospital!

Instantly, the already noisy hospital became even more chaotic, with some people immediately trying to escape. The noise was deafening, and the police were overwhelmed trying to maintain order.

Shuichi Akai narrowed his sharp eyes. He hadn't told Toyako about the bomb in the hospital, and even if he ran out and asked around, he wouldn't be able to find out, because the Metropolitan Police Department would definitely block the news. That's exactly what they were afraid of.

So... how did Duago know there was a bomb in the hospital? Did he just happen to find a bomb in the package he received? Shuichi Akai thought that was too much of a coincidence.

"He actually kidnapped a police officer! Duyago is too audacious!" Conan said in disbelief. Akai Hideaki glanced at the loudspeaker in the corner of the ceiling. "He directly said there was a bomb in the hospital, intending to create chaos. Now the entire hospital is under police control. If he wants to leave, creating chaos for the police is indeed a way."

“But kidnapping a policeman is far too risky.” Shuichi Akai seemed to be talking to someone else, but also to himself. “If he wants to leave, he has to disperse all the police forces in the Metropolitan Police Department so that he can take advantage of either the front or back entrance.”

James then spoke up, "If that's the case, how about we split up and keep an eye on the hospital's front and back entrances respectively? But we're outnumbered, so it's not very convenient for us to do this."

“Mr. James is right.” Conan didn’t think that Duago could catch the other party just by separating them, and the purpose was too obvious. Conan felt that it was not that simple. “I have an idea. Let’s go find that missing policeman and have the Metropolitan Police Department guard the hospital. They have more people and are more suitable for this task. In addition, there are still a lot of unidentified packages in the hospital that need to be cleared by them.”

Conan's eyes lit up again as he spoke: "Perhaps he actually wants to do the opposite, hide while the police are looking for the missing person, and then come out after they find the person and lower their guard. If that's the case, the most dangerous place is the safest place. He might be with the missing policeman or nearby so he can keep an eye on the police."

"You mean negotiating with the Metropolitan Police Department? If that's the case, we'll probably have to hand Duago over to them after we catch him." James hesitated, but Conan's idea did seem feasible at the moment.

Conan, not wanting to miss this opportunity, suggested, "You don't need to show yourselves. Just secretly look for someone in the hospital, and I'll talk to Inspector Megure and the others. Just do it in... Shinichi's name. Inspector Megure and the others should agree to cooperate."

Shuichi Akai's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly when he heard the name "Shinichi Kudo," before he said, "I think his method is feasible."

Conan was naturally pleased with Shuichi Akai's approval. He then looked at Kiyoshi Kawano and Mika, who exchanged a glance and nodded. After all, in their view, no matter what plan Conan used, they would definitely find a way to inform Jiang Jin.

Seeing this, James didn't say anything more.

Upon hearing the broadcast, Inspector Megure immediately ordered a headcount of all those involved in the operation and reassured the patients in the hospital. He also dispatched officers to the hospital's broadcasting room to apprehend the person who had spoken.

The broadcasting room at Beihu Hospital is located on the sixth floor of the hospital.

Ten minutes ago, Jiang Jin, wearing a white lab coat, knocked on the door of the broadcasting room.

There were only two security guards on duty in the broadcasting room. Jiang Jin knocked one of them unconscious with each hand after entering, and left the broadcasting room immediately after finishing his announcement.

On the way back, Jiang Jin put his hands in his pockets, took out his phone, and typed with one hand as he walked. He looked extremely calm and composed, and no one could tell that he had just kidnapped a policeman and made a provocative broadcast.

Because his behavior was so natural, no one who passed by him suspected anything. They were just chatting in twos and threes about what had just been broadcast.

Meanwhile, in his Porsche outside Beika Hospital, Gin received a text message.

"Boss, save me." Gin looked at the familiar sender's name and gently exhaled a puff of smoke.

"I used the boss's bomb to tie up the police, boss, where are you picking me up?" The second message came right away.

Gin raised an eyebrow. This kid was better off not waking up at all, as he had completely disrupted his plans.

"Boss, I'm planning to drive out in a police car." Another message came through, and Gin immediately felt like he could hear the other person's endless chatter through the text message.

Remembering the orders from above—if it was discovered that Duyago might leak organization secrets, he should be eliminated immediately—Gin chuckled as he looked at the three messages. His worries were completely unnecessary.

"There's a backup in the direction of the Rainbow Bridge."

In the hospital, Jiang Jin saw the reply he finally received after three consecutive text messages, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Then, he slipped into a blind spot of the surveillance cameras and entered the corridor...
