"It's a tattoo." Subaru Okiya sensed Conan's gaze and gave a clear answer.

tattoo.

Conan fell into deep thought.

Obviously, no normal person would have the time to tattoo an unattractive three-digit number on the back of their neck, which is their most vulnerable part.

So there is only one answer, he was forced.

And where should the tattoo be coded?

laboratory.

Conan frowned in thought.

The restraint on the lips and the code on the neck, both clues point to the answer.

But Conan Edogawa still couldn't believe it, or rather, he was unwilling to believe it.

Sherlock Holmes once said that if you eliminate all false answers, the only answer that remains, no matter how improbable, is the truth.

Conan tried to calm himself down and reviewed his experiences from that day on from beginning to end.

First, he accidentally discovered a distress signal, so he and Haibara Ai solved the mystery together and came to the place where the mystery was located - a base that the organization had built but never used.

So, where did the distress signal come from? Was it that person who put it down, or someone else? If it was someone else, what was his purpose? If it was that person who put it down, how and when did he do it? He doesn't look like a person who can move freely based on the things on him.

Why wasn't that base used? He didn't believe that the organization's people would build a base incorrectly, or that it wouldn't be destroyed after being abandoned.

Later, he met the man in the base.

The base was just one room, a huge, empty room with no compartments.

No, rather than a room, perhaps a warehouse would be more appropriate.

Another question is why does that person have a gag on his lips? A gag is usually used to prevent someone from making a sound, committing suicide, or eating. Why does that person need a gag?

What's up with his face?

The questions came as densely as raindrops, making Conan feel a little dizzy.

But the root of all these problems, and also the breakthrough, all lies in the young man who suddenly appeared.

However, the boy did not speak and refused to communicate with them, which meant that the breakthrough point was completely blocked. Unless the correct way was found to clear it, it might remain blocked for a lifetime.

The memory ended and Conan sighed.
