After Conan and the others obtained that crucial document, their mood grew increasingly heavy.
"If this new virus spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable," Ai Haibara said worriedly.
Ran Mouri clenched her fist: "No matter what, we can't let their plot succeed."
Nightshade looked at the documents and said, "But we still know very little about their specific plans."
After a moment of contemplation, Conan said, "Let's look for clues in this document first, and see if we can find the possible hiding place of the virus or their action plan timeline."
Everyone sat together, carefully studying every detail of the document.
Lin Yu suddenly pointed to a spot and said, "This place mentions a laboratory; perhaps the virus is undergoing its final development there."
Conan nodded: "Very likely, we need to get there as soon as possible."
However, just as they were about to set off, the roar of a car engine came from outside.
"This is bad, the enemy might be chasing us," Nightshade said warily.
Conan and the others quickly found a place to hide.
A group of men in black got out of a car and began searching the factory.
"Everyone, please don't make a sound," Conan whispered.
Ran Mouri watched the commotion outside nervously, her heart pounding in her chest.
Fortunately, the men in black did not find them and left after searching for a while.
"Let's go quickly," Conan said.
They quietly left the factory and headed towards the laboratory that might be harboring the virus.
Along the way, they carefully avoided enemy patrols and finally arrived at the building where the laboratory was located.
"This place is heavily guarded; we need to find a way to get in," Lin Yu said.
Conan surveyed the surroundings and said, "Let's climb in through the ventilation duct at the back."
Without hesitation, everyone sprang into action.
They crawled laboriously through the ventilation ducts and finally entered the laboratory.
The laboratory was filled with various complex instruments and equipment, and some staff members in protective suits were busy at work.
"Be careful not to get caught," Conan whispered.
They were secretly searching for traces of the virus in the laboratory.
Just then, a staff member suddenly turned around and saw them.
"Who goes there?" the staff member shouted.
Conan and the others immediately rushed forward and subdued the staff.
"Where is the virus?" Conan pressed.
The staff member said in a panic, "It's...it's in the safe over there."
After a long and arduous search, they finally found the mysterious and heavy safe in the corner of the room. However, when they excitedly tried to open it, they were blocked by a cold, hard barrier—only the correct password could unlock it.
"What should we do?" Ran Mouri stamped her feet anxiously, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Her beautiful face was pale with tension and worry.
Conan, standing to the side, remained unusually calm. His brows were slightly furrowed, and a glint of wisdom shone in his deep eyes. He crossed his arms, lost in thought. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Conan. He recalled a document he had previously reviewed, which seemed to contain a crucial combination of numbers.
"Maybe I can try this," Conan muttered to himself, then quickly walked to the safe and carefully entered the numbers. As he pressed the last key, a soft "beep" was heard, and the safe's latch slowly popped open, as if a door to an unknown world was slowly opening.
The cabinet door slowly opened, and a chill swept out. Looking closely, they saw a bottle of liquid inside, emitting an eerie glow. The light shifted between a ghostly blue and a deep purple, like a phantom dancing in the night sky. Without a doubt, this was the new virus they had been desperately searching for!
Just as they successfully obtained the virus and were preparing to leave quietly, a piercing alarm blared throughout the laboratory. The sharp sound, like a raging storm, instantly shattered the tranquility. "Oh no, we've triggered the alarm system!" Conan's expression changed, a sense of foreboding washing over him. At that moment, the surrounding lights suddenly switched on, revealing their figures.
