Chapter 754 If it's a bomb, that would be terrible.

Bertrandez peered out the car window at the rapidly receding night view, his forehead pressed against the glass. "Where are we going, Sei-chan?"

Seeker stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, "How about going to the beach?"

"The beach?" Bertrand blinked, thought for a moment, then pouted, seemingly uninterested. "I don't want to go."

"I see..." Seeker was also a little troubled. He took out his phone and scrolled through it, finally finding today's headline. "Hey? How about the 'Mystery Train' next week? The Suzuki Express, which runs once a year, and there will be some kind of detective game on board. It sounds like it would be really interesting."

Bertrand blinked, then blinked again, and then suddenly became interested.

"Okay! Let's decide on that then! But before that, we need to find somewhere else to kill some time."

“That makes sense. I’ll book the train now.” Seeker whistled. “Alright, booking successful. Shall we go grab a bite to eat first?”

"Hurrah."

After much deliberation, they finally chose a newly opened restaurant.

But it was quite a coincidence, wasn't it? Just as they got out of the car, the main characters also happened to get out of another car.

Moreover, this restaurant was invested and built by the Suzuki family.

"Xiaoye!"

It's safe to say that Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were the most welcoming to Kurosawa among the main characters.

Kurosawa also waved to them with a surprised and happy expression.

Conan and Ai Haibara: "..."

The Detective Boys, who had been chattering away, instantly fell silent upon seeing Kurosawa: Σ(дlll)

Kurosawa: v

Qianzhu and Liu Qingyao: ^-^

"What a coincidence, Sister Xiaolan, Sister Yuanzi!"

The silver-haired boy pulled Seeker to their side.

"Are you here to eat too? What a coincidence! Why don't we join together? It's more fun with more people!"

When Sonoko Suzuki made this suggestion, almost everyone around her changed their expressions!

"And since today is the opening ceremony, there's a banquet on the fifth floor of the restaurant," Sonoko Suzuki continued, completely oblivious to the expressions on the faces of the kids next to her.

Bertrand blinked, glanced at the skeptical expressions on the Junior Detective League's faces, then flashed a bright smile and happily agreed, "Sure! I also think it's more fun with more people!"

"Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki. This is my brother's colleague; he brought me out to hang out after work!"

"Hello, my name is Minagawa Ryou." Sekt smiled and shook hands with them. "Thank you for taking care of Yaya."

"No, that's not true. Xiao Ye is really well-behaved and cute."

The four of them chatted as they walked into the restaurant, while the others, except for Qianzhu and Liu Qingyao, all followed with expressions that suggested they were about to die.

After entering the restaurant, they went directly to the fifth floor.

Bertrand looked around, then pulled Sext over to the cake table.

The Junior Detectives, who had been feeling reserved because of Bertrand's presence, were instantly cheered up when they discovered there was so much delicious food. They excitedly ran to pick out their favorite foods, but still carefully avoided getting too close to Kurosawa.

Glancing at the smug Bertrand, Seeker patted his head. "I'm going to the restroom."

"oh."

Bertrand, who was busy eating, took a moment to look up and respond.

Sext got up and walked to the restroom. As he wiped his hands with a handkerchief and came out, he bumped into Conan, who was also there.

Giving him a faint smile, Seeker bent down and whispered, "To be honest, I'd really like to use your and Miss Sherry's blood to investigate why, Mr. Kudo."

Conan's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at Sext in disbelief.

Seeing his shocked expression, Seeker chuckled, put away the handkerchief in his hand, tapped his head with his knuckles, and continued in a casual tone, "You really should thank Kashiwagi-chan, otherwise the whole organization would know that you shrunk into children because of taking APTX-4869~ After all, you are really valuable for my research."

He glanced at Conan one last time before leisurely returning to the banquet hall.

—His eyes were like those of all the members of the Black Organization: dark and evil, mocking and cold-blooded, like a devil lurking in the shadows.

Conan's pupils trembled slightly.

Back in the banquet hall, Seeker discovered that Bertrand was nowhere to be found.

"......"

Where did he go in such a short time?

Just as he was about to stand up and look for it, he heard a muffled explosion, and then the entire venue was plunged into darkness!

Seeker: ? ? ?

The sudden darkness startled many people, and the hall quickly descended into chaos, with staff members urging everyone to calm down amidst the noise.

Seeker was speechless. He muttered "So much trouble" under his breath, then took out his night vision goggles and started looking for Bertrand.

However, there were too many people here, and the place was quite chaotic due to panic, so it would be quite difficult for him to find the tiny Bertrand in the chaos.

At that moment, Bertrand was crouching in the corner, his hands covering his head, his whole body trembling.

His hands trembled as he reached into his bag and pulled out a butterfly.

"...If we just blow it up, it won't be so noisy anymore..."

He murmured softly as a fluorescent butterfly fluttered overhead.

Many people noticed this single light in the darkness.

Ai Haibara, who was with the Junior Detective League, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

This is a butterfly from Bertrandshire! If it's a bomb, that would be terrible! Everyone here would be in trouble!

Ai Haibara thought quickly and suddenly remembered that the last time Bertrand lost control and hurt Ayumi and the others, it was because they were trapped in the space inside the stone wall.

The space was pitch black.

Could it be... that this darkness will cause Bertrand to lose control of his emotions?

She took out her phone and used the lit screen to illuminate the room slightly.

what to do?

If the lights haven't been restored after so long, it means the backup power generation room has also been destroyed.

Just as she was getting anxious, the entire hall suddenly lit up.

"Oh dear, suddenly being plunged into darkness scared me so much I forgot I brought a flashlight..."

Holding a super-powerful flashlight, Liu Qingyao smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
