Conan and the others rested temporarily at a hotel in the town, and everyone was exhausted.
Ran Mouri sat on the edge of the bed, gently rubbing her injured leg, her face full of worry: "I wonder what dangers we will encounter next."
Lin Yu leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said, "No matter what, we can't give up."
Ai Haibara, meanwhile, was organizing the data they had obtained from the research institute, trying to find more useful clues.
Conan stood by the window, gazing at the night view outside, pondering a solution.
Just then, Nightshade suddenly noticed the unusual commotion outside.
"Everyone be careful, something might be wrong," Nightshade whispered.
Conan immediately became alert and signaled everyone to keep quiet.
Suddenly, the door was slammed shut, as if a powerful force was trying to rush in.
"Quick, find somewhere to hide!" Conan shouted.
Everyone scrambled to find a secluded corner.
The door was finally kicked open, and a group of men in black rushed in.
"Search!" the leader of the men in black shouted.
Conan and the others held their breath, trying their best not to make any noise.
However, one of the men in black still managed to discover Lin Yu's hiding place.
"Here!" the man in black shouted.
Another fierce battle broke out.
Conan used the items in the room as weapons to fight the men in black.
Despite her leg injury, Ran Mouri joined the battle.
Nightshade used his agility to dodge the attacks of the men in black time and time again, and then counterattacked.
Ai Haibara looked for an opportunity amidst the chaos, throwing the documents in her hand at the men in black to buy time for her companions.
After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the group of men in black.
"We shouldn't stay here any longer, let's leave quickly," Conan said.
The group hurriedly left the hotel and ran through the streets of the town.
"Where are we going?" Ran Mouri asked.
Conan pondered for a moment: "Go to the abandoned factory outside town; perhaps we can find a place to hide there."
They arrived at the abandoned factory, which was dark, damp, and had a pungent smell.
"Everyone be careful," Conan warned.
Just then, a strange sound suddenly rang out in the factory.
"What is that sound?" Lin Yu asked nervously.
Conan frowned and listened intently.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the darkness.
"It's you!" Conan exclaimed in surprise.
It turns out that this person was a key figure they encountered during their previous investigation. He used to work for a criminal organization, but later had a change of heart and wanted to help Conan and his friends.
“I knew you would be in danger, so I came here to find you,” the man said.
"What clues do you have?" Conan asked.
The man took out a document and said, "This is important information I stole from a criminal organization; it might be helpful to you."
With a solemn expression, Conan reached out and slowly took the mysterious document. He took a deep breath, gently opened the cover, and began to read it carefully, word by word.
As time passed, the text in the document seemed to transform into vivid images before Conan's eyes. It turned out that the document revealed a shocking conspiracy orchestrated by a criminal organization that had been lurking in the shadows—they were plotting to use a novel, never-before-seen virus to launch a deadly attack on the entire bustling city.
"This is terrifying! If they succeed, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Conan frowned, his eyes revealing anxiety and anger. He suddenly raised his head and said decisively, "We must act immediately and do everything we can to stop them!"
Hearing Conan's words, the people around him cast determined glances. Among them were experienced detectives, brave and fearless police officers, and partners who had fought alongside Conan many times before. At this moment, everyone understood that they were about to face a battle more difficult and intense than ever before, but not one of them flinched or showed fear. They knew deeply that they bore the heavy responsibility of protecting this city and the countless innocent lives within it.
