Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"Yeah, there's a motive." Quan Yi unconsciously pretended to be cool. "We'll talk about the details on the way. Let's go. I'll show you the way."

Amuro glanced at Izumi, started the engine, and Conan followed them on a skateboard.

"Mr. Amuro, the motive is you!" Izumi's voice was neither loud nor soft. Not only Amuro, but also Conan who was following closely beside him heard it.

"?!" The two opened their eyes wide.

"Why would the public security be the motive for the terrorist attack?" - Amuro was completely confused.

"It all started with the 'NAZU illegal access incident'."

“That happened last year…”

As they said this, Amuro and Conan suddenly realized something and murmured in unison, "Haba San!"

Quan Yi nodded and said "hmm".

"Mr. Hanba committed suicide in detention last year, right?"

"Ah..." Amuro turned his face forward, "It was exactly this day last year..."

"This day last year..."

May 1st—Conan and Amuro recalled the date written on the investigation report. At the same time, the narration of the space probe news came back to their minds.

"The unmanned probe 'Shiratori' will return to Earth on May 1, Japan time, after completing its mission of collecting samples on Mars."

Conan and Amuro realized at the same time what was going to happen next.

"So that's how it is... This is incredible."

"The criminal's revenge is definitely not over yet!!"

Conan turned the skateboard quickly and drove back onto the road. Amuro also started the car and chased after him.

Just as Conan skated towards the intersection, the navigation system of a car approaching from the right suddenly exploded, forcing the driver to slam on the emergency brakes. The car behind him couldn't avoid the car in time, resulting in a rear-end collision, and he was hit by a car entering the intersection from the right. The car took off into the air, and it was about to hit Conan, who was speeding on his skateboard!

At the critical moment, Conan dodged.

"Tsk!" Amuro, who was chasing Conan closely, turned the steering wheel sharply.

boom!

The car landed right next to the RX7, barely avoiding it. Amuro immediately swerved to stabilize the car.

"IoT terrorist attack?" Quan Yi gritted his teeth.

At this moment, in front of Conan who turned around, a large truck that had just entered the intersection suddenly crashed into the stopped accident car. The large truck slid sideways due to the impact and approached rapidly. Conan curled up his body under the car without thinking, and the large truck brushed past Conan's head.

After emerging from under the car, Conan kicked the barrier and jumped up, then began to slide on the guardrail.

The cars that stopped due to a series of rear-end collisions at the intersection formed a long line. Conan jumped over the roofs of the cars and gradually accelerated, successfully passing the intersection.

Suddenly, a loud crash was heard from the highway overhead.

The large truck and the car collided, both breaking through the sidewall and plummeting towards Conan who was rushing forward on his skateboard!

There's no way to hide! As soon as this thought came to mind, the falling car slowly approached Conan as if in slow motion.

Bang Dang Yi!!

With a loud bang, the RX-7 rushed in front of Conan and collided violently with the car.

"Izumi-nii! Mr. Amuro!!"

Under the overpass, a puff of black smoke billowed from the overturned car. The RX7, its right front part dented, was parked next to it, facing the direction of Conan who was backing up.

"Go!!" Izumi shouted to Conan while hitting the cracked front windshield with his fist.

Conan nodded heavily and sped away on his skateboard again. After Quan Yi smashed the windshield, Amuro also started the car.

Meanwhile, the children are watching TV at Dr. Agasa's house. The unmanned probe "White Bird" is due to return tonight, and the TV stations have prepared special programs. The children are captivated by the live broadcast.

"This is the National Astronomical Observatory in Nagano Prefecture. We are currently observing the 'White Bird', which is 50,000 kilometers from Earth..."

Hearing the host on TV say this, Dr. Agasa raised his arm and looked at his watch. It was just after seven o'clock in the evening.

"It's already this late, I'll take you home."

The children uttered an "ouch" in dissatisfaction.

"Soon 'White Bird' will be back from Mars~"

"Let's finish watching the live broadcast!"

Mitsuhiko couldn't help but slump his shoulders and said, "Why is this happening?"

At this time, Dr. Agasa's cell phone rang, "Huh? Oh, what's the matter?"

It was Conan calling.

"Less than an hour?!"

After hearing from Dr. Agasa the time it would take for the White Bird to enter the atmosphere, Conan couldn't help but yell, "There's no time!!"

Conan was speeding through the tunnel, with Amuro's car driving side by side on his left.

"It seems that it is just as I deduced!" Quan Yi's face looked extremely ugly.

"Ah! He wants to illegally connect to NAZU and make the detector fall!" Conan said gritting his teeth.

But where exactly it would fall—neither Izumi, Conan, nor Amuro had figured it out yet. Gripping the steering wheel, Amuro suddenly clenched his teeth. "I didn't expect it to come from space!"

After exiting the tunnel, the night sky, obscured by clouds, stretches endlessly between the gaps between the tall buildings.

Resurrected

……

Together with Conan, Eri and Sonoko, Ran went to the Metropolitan Police Department to welcome the released Kogoro Mouri.

"Ah, here I come! Uncle!"

After waiting in the corridor for a while, Takagi appeared with Kogoro Mori~.

"dad!"

"Um, oh..." Looking at his daughter running towards him, Kogoro Mouri raised his hand with a complicated expression.

"Welcome back!"

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Ran." Kogoro Mouri hugged Ran tightly as she threw herself into his arms.

"That's great..." Xiaolan cried with joy.

"Also...it caused Eri a lot of trouble."

After hearing what Kogoro said, Eri smiled and replied, "What are you talking about?"

Seeing Ran crying in Kogoro's arms, even Sonoko couldn't help but burst into tears, "That's great~ Ran."

"Sonoko...thank you!"

Xiaolan turned around and wiped her tears with her hands. Looking at the family snuggling together with smiles on their faces, Yuanzi was moved to tears again.

"That's right! Let's take a picture of this touching scene and send it to that Bai Quanyi!"

On a whim, Yuanzi immediately put up her phone and said, "Wait a minute, Yuanzi!"

Ran blushed, and next to her, Takagi, who also wanted to be in the photo, raised his scissors hand. However, Sonoko, holding her phone, dismissed him with a gesture, thinking he was unnecessary.

"See how he's going to thank me! All right, Eggplant!"

Just as I was about to press the shutter, all the lights around me went out, leaving only darkness.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Is there a power outage?"

The large conference room where the search meeting was being held also lost its light, and the investigators began to make a commotion.

"Can someone turn on the backup lights?" Sato's voice rang out in the darkness.

Chiba, who was beside Inspector Megure, said to him: "Inspector! The emergency power supply seems to have been destroyed!"

"What?! What's going on...!" Megure looked up at the dark ceiling.

At this moment, Shiratori rushed in from the back door and shouted to Kuroda and the others: "We just received a report from NAZU! They discovered that the unmanned detector was being illegally accessed!"

"What did you say?!"

"At this rate, we won't be able to separate the return capsule!"

……

The only area affected by the power outage was the area around the Metropolitan Police Department, and the buildings surrounding the department were plunged into darkness like a cave that had suddenly opened.

Due to a traffic accident caused by an IoT terrorist attack, traffic control was implemented in the vicinity, and there were almost no vehicles passing by the Metropolitan Police Department. Kazami ran on the deserted sidewalk while calling Amuro.

"The White Bird will burn up upon entering the atmosphere, but the reentry capsule's landing location has been misjudged. Upon realizing this, NAZU also fell into confusion. I will now send you the latest landing prediction data."

In the large conference room surrounded by darkness, Kuroda, sitting on the podium, called together the investigators.

Standing across from Kuroda at the long table illuminated by flashlights and lanterns, Takagi pulled out his tablet and opened the map app. "13945'8.405'' East longitude. The new landing location predicted by NAZU is..."

Enter the coordinates in the search box and press Enter. The location indicated by the coordinates will be marked with a pin icon.

"Huh? This isn't the place..." Sato, who was standing next to Takagi, couldn't help but gasp when he saw the location marked by the thumbtack.

……

“Something big is going to happen.

Amuro, who was driving, couldn't help muttering to himself as he looked at the landing prediction data received by the mobile phone on the car mount.

"Officer White!"

"Ah..." Quan Yi stared at the screen on his phone, his face darkening. In the center of the map displayed on the screen, a red pin indicated the landing point. It was exactly where the Metropolitan Police Department was!

"Sure enough, the criminal's target is the Metropolitan Police Department...!" The dark Metropolitan Police Department building vaguely appeared in front of Quan Yi and the other two.

……

"The return capsule is going to land at the Metropolitan Police Department?!"

"how so?!"

When they learned that NAZU's predicted landing point was the Metropolitan Police Department, there was an uproar in the conference room.

"If a return capsule over four meters long were to land here, the damage would be unimaginable!"

"According to the precise GPS guidance system on board the return capsule, the landing error is likely to be within a radius of 200 meters."

After hearing what Megure and Shiratori said, Kuroda calmly made a decision: "Prepare large personnel transport vehicles immediately! Immediately evacuate the area within a one-kilometer radius centered on the Metropolitan Police Department!!"

"Understood!" Everyone answered in unison and then went their separate ways.

Being brought into the large conference room by Takagi, Kogoro Mouri stood in a corner and watched the detectives filing out of the door. Ran beside him looked at Kogoro uneasily.

"dad……"

Maori Kogoro was still confused: "What happened?"

·· ·······Request flowers····· ·····

Kisaki Eri comforted Xiaolan: "It's okay, Baiquanyi will definitely protect us. With him around, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Xiaolan said "hmm", Baiquan Yi is the god of this mother and daughter.

Sonoko felt the same way: "Yes... As long as you have Shiraizumi in your heart, there is nothing to be afraid of."

……

The square in front of the main entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department was crowded with police officers and staff pouring out of the building. Kazami, holding a cell phone in one hand, walked against the flow of people.

"The return capsule, separated from the probe, will fall like a meteorite! This means there's only a short time to control its trajectory before it re-enters the atmosphere!!"

At the same time, the government set up an official residence countermeasures room in the Prime Minister's Office, and the leaders of relevant ministries and agencies were urgently summoned here.

. ....... 0

In the large conference room, in front of a large screen displaying a disaster prevention map, the Prime Minister and other relevant cabinet ministers sat facing each other, with a row of clerks standing behind them.

"Within a kilometer of the Metropolitan Police Department, there are numerous government offices, parks, and hotels. A rough estimate of the number of evacuees is approximately 150,000.

"The shelter must be able to accommodate such a large number of people. We have sorted out candidate locations and the shortest routes within a one-kilometer radius."
