After handing the ringleader over to the police, Conan and his friends began to carefully examine some clues found at the museum.
“These strange symbols and markings seem familiar,” Lin Yu said, frowning.
Ai Haibara held up a piece of paper with mysterious symbols they had found on the thief. "I've seen similar patterns in some ancient documents, but their specific meaning is still unclear."
Ran Mouri said, "In any case, this is definitely related to their conspiracy."
Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Perhaps we should start by investigating the identities of these thieves and find out who is directing them."
Conan nodded and decided to cooperate with the police to conduct an in-depth investigation into the background of these thieves.
After some effort, they discovered that these thieves were connected to a mysterious organization called "Shadow." This organization had been operating in the shadows, engaging in various illegal activities.
“This ‘Shadow’ organization is very mysterious, and we know very little about them,” said the police officer in charge of the case.
After a moment of contemplation, Conan said, "But judging from this theft, their goal is very clear: they must be looking for something extremely important."
Just then, Lin Yu discovered some new clues online. "I found a dark web forum where people were discussing the operations of the 'Shadow' organization, and they seemed to be mentioning a legendary treasure."
Everyone immediately gathered around and carefully studied the information on the forum.
"It is said that this treasure possesses immense power, capable of changing the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both state and structure)," Ai Haibara said.
Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise, "Could this be what they've been searching for all along?"
Conan said, "It's very possible, but we don't know what this treasure is or where it is yet."
To gather more information, Conan and his friends decided to continue their investigation. They interviewed many people who had been in contact with the "Shadow" organization, gradually piecing together some secrets about the organization.
During their investigation, they encountered a mysterious old man. The old man looked at Conan and his friends and slowly said, "You're investigating a very dangerous organization. Be careful not to get yourself involved."
Conan said earnestly, "We can't stand idly by; we must stop their plot."
The old man was silent for a moment, then handed Conan a worn notebook: "I got this many years ago, it might be useful to you."
Conan took the notebook, which contained records of the early activities of the "Shadow" organization and some unknown secrets.
"Thank you, this is so important to us," Conan said gratefully.
By studying the notebook, they discovered that the "Shadow" organization seemed to be searching for an ancient ruin, where, according to legend, the treasure they desired was hidden.
“We must find this ruin before they do,” Conan said.
So, Conan and his friends embarked on a new journey based on the clues in the notebook.
They traversed dense forests and crossed treacherous mountains, finally arriving at a remote valley.
"This should be the location of the ruins," Lin Yu said.
However, the valley was filled with all sorts of traps and mechanisms.
"Everyone be careful!" Conan warned.
They proceeded cautiously, avoiding one trap after another.
Just then, Ran Mouri accidentally triggered a mechanism, and a barrage of arrows rained down on them.
"Lie down!" Conan shouted.
Everyone quickly lay down, thus avoiding the attack of the arrows.
After a difficult exploration, they finally found the entrance to the ruins.
There is a huge stone gate at the entrance, covered with strange patterns and characters.
"How do I open this?" Kogoro Mouri asked.
Conan carefully observed the patterns on the stone gate and suddenly remembered a hint in his notebook.
"I understand. Everyone, press these patterns in a specific order," Conan said.
With everyone's joint efforts, the stone gate slowly opened.
Inside was a huge cave, filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
"Be careful, we don't know what dangers are inside," Ai Haibara said.
They entered the cave and saw a stone platform in the middle with a box that emitted light on it.
"Could this be the treasure they're looking for?" Ran Mouri said.
Just as they approached the stone platform, a group of dark figures rushed out from the depths of the cave...
