After repelling the attack by "Shadow of Darkness," Conan and his friends knew they had to take the initiative to completely eliminate the threat. After some investigation and analysis, they discovered that "Shadow of Darkness" was frequently active in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.
“I think that’s probably one of their key strongholds,” Conan said, pointing to the factory location on the map.
Kogoro Mouri nodded in agreement: "Then let's go explore this tiger's den."
To ensure the operation's success, Lin Yu upgraded and optimized everyone's equipment. Ran Mouri also underwent more rigorous training to improve her combat abilities. Ai Haibara prepared some emergency medicines and tools.
One night, Conan and his friends quietly approached the abandoned factory. The factory was surrounded by sentries, and barbed wire was strung above the walls.
"It seems getting in won't be easy," Lin Yu said softly.
Conan observed for a while and said, "Let's go around from the back; the defenses there are relatively weak."
They carefully circled around to the back of the factory, where Lin Yu used his high-tech equipment to crack the electronic lock, and the group successfully infiltrated the factory.
The factory was filled with a pungent chemical smell, and there were mountains of waste materials and dilapidated machines everywhere.
"Be careful, everyone," Ran Mouri warned.
They walked slowly along the passage when they suddenly heard footsteps.
Conan gestured for everyone to hide, and then several members of the "Shadows of Darkness" walked over, talking about something.
"The boss said this batch of goods is very important and there can be no mistakes."
"Don't worry, the defenses here are so tight, no one can get in."
After they had gone some distance, Conan and the others continued on their way.
They heard a loud argument coming from the doorway of a room.
"The plan must be moved up; we can't wait any longer!"
"But that would be too risky."
Conan gently pushed open the door and saw several high-ranking members of the "Shadows" arguing.
"Who?" One of them spotted them.
A fierce battle erupted instantly. Ran Mouri rushed forward to engage in close combat with the enemy, while Lin Yu used technological equipment for ranged attacks, and Ai Haibara assisted from the sidelines, providing support for everyone.
Conan then took the opportunity to search for important clues in the room.
He found some documents on the table that detailed the plans of "Shadow of Darkness".
"So they were planning to create a massive chaos in the city," Conan said.
At this point, the number of members of "Shadow of Darkness" is increasing, and Conan and his friends are gradually getting into trouble.
"This can't go on, we have to find a way to break through!" Kogoro Mori shouted.
Lin Yu discovered a ventilation duct: "We can escape from here."
Led by Lin Yu, the group crawled into the ventilation duct. The duct was narrow, dark, and filled with dust and debris.
They crawled with difficulty, the shouts and footsteps of the "Shadow of Darkness" members echoing behind them.
Finally, they escaped from the other end of the ventilation duct.
"It was too dangerous, but at least we got some important information," Ai Haibara said.
Based on clues in the documents, Conan and his friends discover that the "Shadow of Darkness" is preparing to attack important facilities in the city in a few days.
“We must stop them before they act,” Conan said.
Over the next few days, they worked closely with the police to develop a detailed response plan.
Police increased security at key locations throughout the city, while Conan and his friends continued their search for other strongholds of the "Shadow of Darkness," attempting to capture them all in one fell swoop.
On the eve of the operation, Conan and his friends conducted another in-depth investigation and discovered that the "Shadow of Darkness" had a hidden weapons arsenal.
“If they get their hands on these weapons, the consequences will be unimaginable,” Ran Mouri said.
So they decided to destroy the armory first.
One night, they quietly infiltrated the location of the armory. The armory was filled with all sorts of advanced weapons and explosives.
"Handle these explosives carefully; don't let them explode," Conan warned.
The group carefully dismantled the explosives and moved the weapons.
Just as they were about to complete their mission, members of the "Shadow of Darkness" discovered them.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Lin Yu shouted.
A fierce chase ensued...
