After the harrowing ordeal, the city gradually returned to its former tranquility and peace on the surface, but Conan and the others knew in their hearts that things were not completely over.
One day, on his way home from school, Conan suddenly sensed that someone was following him. He quietly turned into a side alley to investigate.
"Come out, stop hiding!" Conan shouted.
A figure slowly emerged from the corner; it was a member of the mysterious organization who had escaped police capture during the final showdown.
"You dare to show your face again?" Conan looked at him warily.
"I...I've come to apologize to you," the man said, his head bowed.
Conan frowned: "An apology? You think that's enough?"
The man looked up, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness: "The organization still has hidden forces; they won't let this go."
Conan's heart tightened: "What do you know?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then said, "I only know that they are plotting a bigger conspiracy, but I don't know the specifics."
After saying that, the man left in a hurry.
Conan immediately told the others the news.
“It seems we can’t let our guard down,” Ai Haibara said.
Ran Mouri clenched her fist: "No matter what their scheme is, we must stop them."
Lin Yu nodded in agreement: "We need to strengthen our defenses and continue to gather intelligence."
Nightshade suggested, "Perhaps we can look for clues in the documents we seized earlier."
So they began to examine the documents more carefully once again.
After some effort, they discovered some connections between the mysterious organization and a mysterious figure.
"Who could this mysterious person be?" Conan pondered.
Just then, a series of strange events occurred in the city. Some important scientific research results were stolen, and some key facilities were damaged.
"This must be the work of a mysterious organization," Conan said.
They began to investigate, and during the investigation, Conan discovered some familiar methods of committing the crimes.
"This is very similar to the situation we encountered before."
Following the clues, they eventually arrived at an abandoned research institute.
The eerie atmosphere in the research institute seemed to have a life of its own, spreading wildly through the air. The dim, flickering lights, like candles in the wind, made the entire space feel sinister and terrifying.
"Everyone be careful," Conan warned in a low voice, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings warily. The others nodded in agreement, treading even more lightly, afraid of disturbing some unknown entity.
They cautiously made their way deeper into the research institute, each step feeling as light as walking on cotton. Yet, even with such care, they couldn't avoid making slight noises. Suddenly, a deep, rumbling sound of machinery shattered the silence, like a long-dormant beast awakening.
"Over there!" Lin Yu spotted the source of the sound and pointed to a closed room. The others looked in the direction he pointed, their hearts tightening.
Without the slightest hesitation, they rushed towards the room like arrows released from a bow. The door was flung open, revealing a gigantic machine churning wildly, emitting a deafening roar. On the machine's screen, strings of strange data scrolled rapidly, dazzling the eyes.
"What is this thing?" Ran Mouri asked in surprise, her eyes wide as she tried to find a clue from the complex data.
Just then, a cold and malicious voice came from behind them: "This is our carefully planned new scheme. You ants have absolutely no chance of stopping it." Everyone was startled and hurriedly turned around. A figure shrouded in a black robe slowly walked out, wearing a hideous mask that completely obscured his true face.
