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

"Brother Quan Yi..." Conan called out, "If the trajectory cannot be corrected, then the landing point will indeed be..."

"Ahh... A return capsule over four meters long will fall here at over ten kilometers per second."

Imagining the massive return capsule crashing directly into the Metropolitan Police Department, Izumi and Amuro frowned. Even if everyone in the area had been evacuated, the damage would still be incalculable.

"Mr. Amuro, can we get some explosives right now?"

"You want to destroy the heat-resistant return..."

"No." Izumi shook his head. "It wasn't me, but that kid Conan... and it was the explosives that diverted the orbit to the Pacific Ocean."

"!!" Amuro looked at Izumi in surprise, "The famous police officer Shirai Izumi would actually have such a whimsical idea..."

"Is there any other way?" Izumi asked, "And Conan also agrees."

Turning his head to look at Conan who nodded, Amuro immediately took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and started calling.

"Kazami, act as quickly as possible...ah, that's the illegal work the public security is best at."

……

After separating from the main body of the "White Bird", the return capsule plunged into the atmosphere at super-high speed. Under the intense heat, the return capsule burst into a dazzling light.

Near the deserted entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department, Kazami and two of his subordinates surrounded a plastic bomb.

"This is the most powerful explosive ever confiscated by the police."

After listening to his subordinates' explanation, Kazami asked while on the phone: "Are you sure we won't be found out?"

Another subordinate attached a mobile phone to the bomb, which served as an explosive device.

“It’s almost the abandonment deadline, so just changing the records will be fine.

"it is good.

Kazami nodded slightly and said "Please" into the phone. The drone parked in front of him turned its propellers and flew up, moving above the plastic bomb, opening its two mechanical arms and grabbing the bomb.

The subordinates let out an "ooh-oh" sound.

The drone carrying the plastic bomb staggered into the air.

"No problem. Now I'm sending the predicted orbital data of the return capsule to the address you provided."

After finishing his phone call with Kazami, Dr. Agasa turned back to look at Ai, who was staring at the computer. After the computer successfully received the predicted orbital data for the return capsule, Ai gave a thumbs-up, indicating OK.

"Okay, let's go!"

"okay!"

"Understood!"

"Okay~!"

The children waiting on the sofa in the living room answered enthusiastically, holding their remote controls tightly.

"They asked me to calculate the best explosion location..." Ai set the explosion location based on the predicted orbital data she received and ran a simulation. However, the orbit didn't change as expected, and the reentry capsule couldn't reach the Pacific Ocean.

The drone carrying the plastic bomb rose rapidly and flew over the rooftop helipad of the Metropolitan Police Department where Conan and the others were.

The children's voices came from the detective badge in Conan's hand.

"Huh? The machine is shaking."

"Isn't the Doctor's cargo too heavy?"

"Really? Just throw it over there."

Conan complained in his heart, and Quan Yi smiled helplessly.

"No, no! This cargo is my great treasure~!!" Then the doctor's panicked voice was heard.

"The margin of error is approximately ten meters in radius. I'll transfer the drone footage to your phone. Please adjust the timing."

"Ahh, please."

Izumi said to Ai who was standing opposite the detective badge in Conan's hand.

"But is it really okay?" He heard Ayumi's voice: "Let us take such a close-up photo of the White Bird's return capsule."

No one told the children the true purpose of the flight.

At that moment, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the night sky. It was the White Bird itself, plunging into the atmosphere. Scorched by the intense heat, its body shone with dazzling brilliance like a gigantic meteor. Brighter than a full moon, its beams illuminated the surrounding clouds, but the beams quickly broke apart, disintegrating into particles and ultimately fading into darkness. It was the sight of the main body's components melting, disintegrating, and incinerating.

After the beam of light disappeared, another luminous trail quickly crossed the void. This was the return capsule, which had been separated from the main body and was surrounded by high-temperature plasma.

Emergency Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters within the Crisis Management Center.

"What?! The parachute didn't pop out?!"

After listening to the report from the counselor, the Chief Cabinet Secretary shouted.

“The heat shield appears to be locked.

The Chief Cabinet Secretary looked at the Prime Minister, who was sitting across from the large screen. "Prime Minister, please order the sabotage measures!"

"Wait a moment!" The Defense Minister stood up.

"If we engage at this altitude, the damage might actually be even greater..."

Kuroda, who was sitting behind the ministers, took his cell phone from his pocket and left the meeting room.

In the deserted smoking area, Kuroda made a phone call. "We've already passed 30,000 meters... Ah... Got it."

He nodded slightly, a stern look appearing on his frowning face.

"Don't miss!"

"clear!"

On the rooftop helipad of the Metropolitan Police Department, Amuro hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

"Mr. Amuro, can we use this to decide the timing of the detonation?" Izumi handed him a mobile phone showing the drone camera image.

"Ah." Amuro took the phone and looked at Izumi with narrowed eyes. Izumi nodded without looking away, facing forward.

"We're getting close to the return capsule!" Mitsuhiko's voice came from the detective badge in Conan's hand.

A drone carrying a plastic bomb ascended over Tokyo and approached the falling re-entry capsule.

……

"If we keep going like this, we'll crash!" Mitsuhiko, who was operating the "direction" remote control, looked at Dr. Agasa uneasily.

"No, it's okay! The drone is equipped with a system that can sense approaching objects and automatically avoid them!" Dr. Agasa hurriedly tried to get away with it, and Ai in front of the computer turned around to the children sitting on the sofa.

"Everyone! If you don't get closer, you won't be able to see the return capsule in flight!"

The children's faces immediately wrinkled in dissatisfaction.

"Hey~ I want to see it!"

"Go, Mitsuhiko!

"I understand!" Mitsuhiko picked up the remote control again.

Xiao Ai also turned to the computer, her eyes closely following the return capsule signal on the screen. It was flying towards the explosion location at a very fast speed.

Two square cursors appeared on the LCD screen of the remote control in Mitsuhiko's hand.

To merge the two cursors, Mitsuhiko carefully adjusted the joystick up, down, left, and right. The moment the two cursors overlapped, their shapes and colors changed, but they quickly shifted again.

On the rooftop helipad of the Metropolitan Police Department, Amuro held a cell phone in each hand.

In his left hand was Quan Yi's phone, displaying the same screen as Mitsuhiko's remote. On the right was a gauge, with two dots on either end of the gauge slowly approaching the center. The two cursors represented Ai's designated explosion location and the drone's position, while the two dots on the gauge represented the drone's position and the return capsule's position.

Amuro entered the number on the phone in his right hand and placed his thumb close to the call button.

Beep beep beep beep...

Warning sounds came from Quan Yi's mobile phone and Mitsuhiko's remote control.

“¨「 Coming!”

Mitsuhiko shouted as he worked hard to align the two cursors so they overlapped. Beside him, Ayumi, holding the camera remote, approached the LCD screen with excitement.

The two points on the scale gradually moved closer to the center—"Go ahead—!!"

As Yuantai shouted, the two cursors completely overlapped.

Amuro quickly pressed the call button.

The drone's plastic bomb, held by a mobile phone, began to ring. Electricity raced through the device that caused the ringing, triggering the bomb's circuitry to begin operating.

Boom!!

The high-speed flying drone seemed to be waiting for the falling fireball, and it collided with it and exploded.

The violent blast ripped open the return capsule's heat shield, and the parachute flew out, only to be instantly engulfed and blown away by the shock wave...

……

At the Emergency Disaster Response Headquarters within the Crisis Management Center, the Prime Minister and other ministers watched the image of the return capsule on a large screen. Everyone was stunned by the sudden explosion. Amidst billowing white smoke, the return capsule, parachuted out, soared.

"Landed... opened..."

The counselor muttered, and everyone stared at the big screen intently.

……

"what?"

“The picture is gone!”

The LCD screen of the remote control in the children's hands suddenly went dark and displayed the word "NOSIGNAL".

"Could it be damaged?"

"Isn't there an automatic avoidance system?"

Hearing Mitsuhiko ask this, Dr. Agasa was shocked: "Uh, ah... Maybe, the battery is out, Yun."

Xiao Ai, who was sitting in front of the computer, sighed: "Where did this system come from?"

Haneba walked over to Ai, who was muttering to herself, with his mouth wide open: "You really scared me, what on earth are you..."

"We can be considered as the 'assistants' of Police Officer Shiraizumi Yi." Xiao Ai held her chin with one hand and looked at Yuba with a smile.

Yuba was attracted by Ai's beauty, but unfortunately, Ai already had a lover.

.......

So-called helpers

"Ah, I see."

An Shi, who was holding the Bluetooth headset, returned the phone to Quan Yi and said, "It worked."

"Great." Conan breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the public security detective who came to arrest Kusakabe appeared.

"Mr. Furuya, we are here to arrest and escort the suspect.

"Go." Amuro nodded, but Quan Yi beside him stopped them.

"Wait!" Izumi turned his phone towards Kusakabe. The screen showed Yuba.

"Mr. Kusakabe... Even now, we are of one mind."

"...Heh." Kusakabe's smile was tinged with bitterness.

"Okay, let's go." Urged by the public security detective, Kusakabe took a step forward.

"Haba San!" Jingzi came jogging, followed by Fengjian, "I didn't expect... you're still alive..."

Jingzi stopped in front of Quan Yi and stared at Yuba on the screen of her mobile phone.

Kazami also looked at Amuro in surprise: "You are such a terrible..."

Jingzi stared at Yuba blankly for a moment, then suddenly put on a ferocious expression: "So you're also an 'assistant'... and a public security prosecutor at that!"

170 As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Kusakabe who was being taken away by the public security police.

"Teacher Jingzi," Conan said, "you are also an 'assistant', right? Or Detective Kazami's."

Conan glanced at Kazami, who said nothing.

"Little brother, you've asked me before why we hired Hanba San." Jingzi cast her eyes toward the sky. "After he was stripped of his judicial trainee status, the public security police decided he was someone they needed to keep an eye on, so they kept an eye on him. They ordered me to hire him and report on his actions... But while I was working for Hanba San, I gradually became attracted to him..."

"I'm the same," said Yuba on the phone screen, "so I'm really sorry that things turned out this way."
