The alarm blared shrilly throughout the research institute, and Conan and the others' expressions instantly turned serious.
"Oh no, we have to get out of here right now!" Lin Yu shouted.
The group grabbed the documents and sprinted toward the institute's exit.
However, when they arrived at the exit, they found that the door had been locked.
"Damn it, someone must have deliberately set off the alarm to trap us," Ran Mouri said angrily.
Conan calmly observed his surroundings: "Don't panic, everyone. Let's look for another way out."
Just then, a group of men in black rushed in and surrounded them.
"Hand over the documents, or you won't leave here alive!" the leader of the men in black said menacingly.
Conan clutched the documents tightly: "Don't even think about it!"
The two sides reached a stalemate, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Suddenly, the men in black launched an attack, and Conan and the others had no choice but to fight back.
Ran Mouri unleashed her karate skills, instantly defeating several men in black. Nightshade, meanwhile, used his agility to weave through the crowd, causing considerable trouble for the enemies.
Lin Yu used his high-tech equipment to release electric shocks and smoke, effectively halting the enemy's attack.
Ai Haibara and Kimura were not to be outdone; together with Conan, they formed a solid defensive line.
However, the men in black were numerous and well-trained, and Conan and his friends gradually found themselves overwhelmed.
"This can't go on, we have to find a way to break out!" Conan shouted.
He observed the men in black's formation and discovered a weak point.
"Everyone, follow me!" Conan led the charge toward the weak point.
After a fierce struggle, they finally broke through the encirclement of the men in black and entered a passage.
"This way!" Kimura said, pointing to the end of the passage.
They ran desperately along the passage, with the men in black in hot pursuit.
The passageway was filled with smoke, making visibility difficult.
"Watch out!" Ran Mouri suddenly shouted.
It turned out that a large pit had appeared ahead, and Conan and the others quickly stopped in their tracks.
Just then, the man in black caught up.
“Jump over!” Conan said decisively.
The group mustered their courage and jumped over the large pit.
The men in black, unable to brake in time, all fell into the pit.
"Finally, we've gotten rid of them," Lin Yu said, panting heavily.
They continued walking through the passage and finally found an exit.
"Get out of here!" Conan shouted.
The group escaped from the research institute and came outside.
"What do we do now?" Nightshade asked.
Conan glanced at the document in his hand: "Let's find a safe place and study this document."
They hid in an abandoned factory and began to carefully read the contents of the documents.
The document details the experimental process and results of the mind control technology, as well as the list of relevant personnel.
“This list might contain the mastermind we’re looking for,” Ai Haibara said.
Just then, the sound of a car came from outside the factory.
"Oh no, they're coming after us!" Kimura exclaimed.
Conan and the others quickly hid.
A black sedan stopped at the factory gate, and several people in suits got out of the car.
"Search them! Find them!" one of them said.
Conan and the others held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
The enemy searched the factory thoroughly, gradually approaching their hiding place.
"Everyone, get ready for battle!" Conan whispered.
Just as the enemy was about to discover them, Conan suddenly threw a smoke bomb, and the factory was immediately filled with smoke.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they rushed out and engaged in a final, desperate battle with the enemy.
During the fierce battle, Conan discovered the enemy leader.
"That's him!" Conan shouted.
The group attacked the leader together, who, seeing the situation was not good, tried to escape.
Conan chased after them and finally subdued the leader.
"Tell me, who are you people? Why are you trying to steal this document?" Conan demanded.
The leader sneered, "Don't be so smug. Even if you capture me, it won't stop our plan."
Conan said, "Whatever your plans, we'll crush them!"
Subsequently, Conan and the others handed the leader over to the police, and also handed over the documents to the police.
Based on the contents of the document, the police launched a further investigation and successfully dismantled a large criminal organization.
The city returned to peace, and Conan and his friends once again became heroes in the eyes of the people.
However, they knew that more challenges awaited them in the future, but they were fearless, because they firmly believed that justice would ultimately prevail over evil...
