Chapter 246

Just before the entire city was plunged into darkness.

Conan Edogawa quickly ran back to the door of the lounge where the female reporter was. Seeing that the door was closed, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Mr. Amuro must be in there! What happened in there?

Conan carefully lowered his movements, leaned on the door panel, and listened carefully to the movement inside. However, the hotel's decoration and soundproofing were so good that Conan could not hear anything at all.

Just as he was anxiously worried about the safety of Xingchuan and Ming, there was a sound of a door lock turning above his head. Seeing the door handle being turned, Conan was frightened and immediately took a step back, then reached out and tugged at his clothes, pretending to be a naughty child running around. Then, before Conan could get ready, the door of the lounge was opened with a "swish".

A familiar figure appeared in front of Conan.

Hoshikawa and Ming looked down at Conan, holding the door handle in their hands, standing at the door of the lounge half-open, using their bodies to strictly block the scene in the lounge behind them, and at the same time blocking the view from inside the lounge to the outside.

Conan looked at the expressionless Hoshikawa and Ming, and felt a little confused for a moment. Is Hoshikawa really okay? Was I just worrying too much?

However, before Conan could say anything, a sense of crisis suddenly spread all over his body. Conan couldn't help but shudder, and immediately realized that this sense of crisis was almost exactly the same as the feeling he had felt from the member of the organization hiding in the crowd when he was guiding the police to investigate the case just now.

There are members of the organization nearby! Danger!

Conan raised his head and was about to remind Xingchuan and Ming to run away, but he saw Xingchuan and Ming staring at him with a serious look he had never seen before, and quickly mouthed: "Run!"

Conan's heart suddenly turned cold.

He understood in an instant that Xingchuan and Ming knew everything. He had even come into contact with members of the organization, and the other party was most likely in the lounge, behind the door blocked by Xingchuan and Ming.

There were footsteps in the lounge. Originally there were two people, but one of the footsteps was faster, accompanied by a questioning voice coming closer and closer: "Is there someone eavesdropping outside?" It was Mr. Amuro's voice!

Another voice lazily replied, "Just get rid of it." It was an unfamiliar voice, but Conan immediately guessed that it was the other member of the organization who had been blocked by Mr. Amuro and was now releasing his sense of danger without any scruples!

Xingchuan and Ming snorted disdainfully, interrupting Conan's train of thought. However, when Conan looked over, his face, which had always been so gentle as if he was wearing a mask, showed an anxious look for the first time, and he once again fiercely mouthed to Conan: "Run!"

Conan was startled and realized that Hoshikawa and Akira were creating an opportunity for him. He quickly glanced at Hoshikawa and Akira and saw that he was indeed not hurt. He also thought of Mr. Amuro and felt relieved, and then he turned and ran.

At the same time, Xingchuan and Ming turned around and said to the three people in the room with a smile: "No one was eavesdropping, it was just an ignorant child playing in the corridor and accidentally fell down."

Amuro Toru also stopped moving in this direction, his eyes met with Hoshikawa Kazuaki's for a moment and then moved away. He immediately realized that the person outside was Conan. He sighed in his heart, but said at the right time: "It turned out to be a child. Forget it."

"Wait, kids nowadays are very smart. Let's find them first and ask them clearly." Mello retorted, and at the same time took a step forward again, ready to go out and catch the escaped Conan.

Hoshikawa and Ming felt their hearts skip a beat, and they tightened their grip on the doorknob, but they didn't move their feet. Instead, they continued to block the door with their bodies, blocking Melo's view of the corridor. Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to find a random reason to provoke an argument with Melo, thereby diverting his attention.

Unexpectedly, however, Bermode spoke at this time. As if she had finally had enough of the farce in front of her, she complained to Melo: "There are so many children coming to the hotel for the banquet, so it's not strange that one or two of them run out to play. Come on, Melo, don't waste time because of a child, you have to get down to business."

Melo was still worried and wanted to go out to see if the boy who suddenly appeared was the boy who could solve the case that he had seen before. However, at this moment, the lights flashed and the whole hotel fell into darkness.

The four people in the room were alert at once. Mello finally gave up the idea of ​​going out to look for Conan, and Amuro pushed Hoshikawa and Akira to the corner of the room, stepped forward, blocked him with his body, and took off his tie to block Hoshikawa and Akira's eyes.

Xingchuan and Ming understood immediately, and resisted the discomfort brought by the darkness, trembling as they reached out their hands and tied the tie that Toru Amuro was using to cover his eyes. Fortunately, Toru Amuro pushed him to the side of the wall when they fell into darkness, so the other two did not notice the abnormality of his eyes.

The other three quickly adapted to the darkness and looked around vigilantly. However, nothing happened.

After a while, Melo growled angrily: "Damn it, what's going on?"

Vermouth said cautiously, "There is no such thing in the plan. Could it be that something went wrong with Gin?"

Toru Amuro took the opportunity to ask, "Now it's time to tell me what your plan is."

Bermode said nothing, but Mello said in a mocking tone: "What, finally there is a secret that even you, the ace of the intelligence team, don't know?"

Seeing that Toru Amuro did not refute, Mello suddenly felt relieved and became interested. He continued:

"It's because the organization values ​​Hoshikawa and Mingta behind you. In order to get him, the organization not only took advantage of Kang Ting's murder, but also used his incompetent but greedy and selfish son to create such a case. They even let Gin personally arrange people to release a secret weapon that would shock the entire Japanese police at the same time as our plan began to be implemented. In this way, even if Hoshikawa and Ming disagree to join the organization, or even ask the police for help, no policeman will have the time to take care of his affairs. After all, the police themselves will soon be unable to take care of themselves! Hahaha..."

Mello spoke with great enthusiasm, and even his whole person was full of excitement. However, Amuro Toru felt heavy in his heart, and his disgust for the organization instantly increased, and his determination to completely overthrow the organization became even stronger.

He had already heard that the "secret weapon of the organization" mentioned by Mello was actually the artificial intelligence that the organization sent experimenters to deploy this time. And it was indeed as the organization planned. Once the artificial intelligence was successfully deployed, the entire Japanese police system, let alone the system related to network information, would be paralyzed in a short period of time.

It would be a major incident that would directly affect the entire country. The police would be so busy that they would not have the energy to deal with the case of Xingchuan and Ming.

So, how much does the organization value the recruitment of Xingchuan and Ming this time? They would rather use the activation of the artificial intelligence startup program as a smoke screen to ensure that the plan to recruit Xingchuan and Ming can be implemented smoothly?

It seems that I really can't arrange for Xingchuan and Ming to fake their deaths and escape under the eyes of the organization. Otherwise, the organization will probably go crazy immediately.

Fortunately, Hiro is hunting down the member of the organization carrying the artificial intelligence, and judging from the current incident, Hiro should be making good progress. In this case, I can rest assured.

And thanks to this sudden incident, Mello has completely given up his plan to chase Edogawa Conan and find out how much the kid knows.

And it was also before this incident happened.

In the waste processing plant where Nishizono Tadahiko was hiding, the only sound in the quiet factory was the sound of Gin's leather shoes stepping on the floor. As he moved, the dust on the floor was blown up by the air flow when he walked, and then slowly fell back to the ground.

Tadahiko Nishizono hid quietly in a gap between a set of processing equipment, carefully controlling his breathing without making a single sound.

Gin held his Ber-Le-To in his hand, with a cruel and bloodthirsty smile on his face, and threatened in a cold voice: "Come out, little mouse, I know you are hiding here. If you come out now, I can consider giving you a quick death. Otherwise, I promise that you will not want to know my methods."

In the huge factory, countless huge machine tools and processing equipment were placed on the ground in no particular order, and only the sound of Gin echoed in it. Apart from that, there was no sound at all.

There are no obvious blind spots or shelters in this factory. The only places where people can hide are inside the huge machine tools and various facilities. It just so happens that this processing plant has been temporarily abandoned, and the machine tools and other facilities are not working. The space inside is just enough to hide a person. In addition, the structure of these facilities is complex, so it is not easy to find the hidden person.

Gin frowned irritably, regretting not bringing Vodka with him. At least at this time, if Vodka was there, at least he would have a younger brother who could run errands and search each facility on his behalf.

However, when Gin's sight passed over a facility and finally fell on the control panel and a set of switches on the wall, he paused in his attempt to move forward, and a cold and cruel smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Are you sure you can't come out? Then I want to see if you can continue to hide safely after I activate these machine tools and equipment and the originally safe turtle shell turns into a steel beast that can crush you into minced meat."

Gin strode to the control panel and opened the power switch.

At the same time, Shuichi Akai was driving his black Chevrolet towards the abandoned factory. His car was almost flying, raising clouds of dust. Suddenly, he turned the steering wheel sharply, and with a perfect drift, he parked the car under a dilapidated building not far from the abandoned factory.

Shuichi Akai quickly took his sniper rifle, turned around and glanced at the location of the abandoned factory, and then ran towards the stairs of the dilapidated building. Time was running out, and he had to find a suitable sniper location in the shortest time to complete the rescue.
