Conan had just watched an exciting football game with great enthusiasm when he received some shocking news.

Conan, who was still recalling the amazing goal scored by Urawa Red Diamonds' captain, glanced at the caller and answered the phone nonchalantly.

"what!!!"

The tone of voice that Conan shouted subconsciously instantly attracted countless eyes.

Kogoro Mouri, who was happily drinking a can of beer nearby, was frightened and the beer can in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

"What are you doing so startled, kid? You've scared all my beer away."

Kogoro Mouri, with his drunken eyes open, complained unhappily.

"I'm sorry uncle, I didn't mean it. I'll go buy you some more."

Giving Xiaolan a reassuring look, Conan ran to a secluded corner while holding his cell phone.

After hearing the general situation on the phone, Conan decided to go to the hospital to check the situation. While walking towards the exit, he called Xiaolan and told her his whereabouts.

Upon learning that something went wrong with Shuichi Akai, Ran Mouri instantly understood Conan's previous shock.

"Xiao Lan, I have to go to the hospital first to check on the situation. As for Uncle Maori, I'd like you to cover up for me."

"Okay, I understand. Be careful on the road and call me if you have anything else."

"You should also be careful over there. Uncle Maori has been drinking. When you go back, just take a taxi. Don't let him drive."

"it is good."

The brief communication lasted just over a minute, but it was enough to make Mao Lilan feel completely at ease.

Although she was worried about Akai Shuichi at this moment, she felt particularly at ease in her heart and no longer had the feeling of uncertainty she had before.

On the side, after waiting for a long time for his favorite beer, Kogoro Mouri complained again with an impatient look on his face.

"Where did Conan go to buy beer? Why hasn't he come back in such a long time?"

"Conan just called and said he had a stomachache."

"Humph, he must have sneaked off to play somewhere else."

Kogoro Mouri was full of disbelief and started complaining.

the other side,

After leaving Tokyo Dome, Conan took a taxi directly to Tokyo Police Hospital.

As soon as I arrived at the inpatient building, I ran into Akai Mary who came in from outside.

"Let's go."

After a brief greeting, the two took the elevator to the third floor of the inpatient department.

After a few seconds, the elevator stopped on the third floor and opened its door.

Walking out of the elevator, Conan and Akai Mary immediately saw Akai Shuichi in the corridor.

Standing next to them were Sera Masumi and Haibara Ai, who had arrived a little earlier than them.

Conan walked up to Shuichi Akai, took a look at his expression, and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Mary Akai ignored her eldest son who was in a bad mood, and pulled her daughter over to ask about the details in a low voice.

Masumi Sera didn't know much, but she knew that in this operation, her elder brother suffered a huge setback and was completely defeated.

About thirty people were taken out, except for the eight who were not at the explosion site. They were responsible for tracking, blocking the retreat, and secretly putting up signs at the bridge head to prevent subsequent vehicles from entering.

The remaining six died before the ambulance arrived, and five could not be rescued.

Six were seriously injured and two were slightly injured. They are all lying in the hospital now.

Among them, half of the six seriously injured people were issued critical illness notices by the hospital. Whether they can survive depends on whether these three can survive the observation period.

Even if you survive, you will be completely ruined.

Not to mention continuing the mission, we should be thankful that we can take care of ourselves like normal people.

Mary Akai was surprised, but not so surprised, to hear that the result of this operation was so tragic.

MI6 is the official intelligence agency of the United States. Compared with the intelligence agency organizations of other countries, they are the ones who deal most with the equipment group.

He is also the one who knows best that this group of people entrenched in the dark side of Ying Country have a firm control over the entire arms smuggling market in the other world.

Members of the Black Organization who have crushed a number of arms dealers and other underground forces in Ying Country to the point where they are barely able to breathe.

What powerful strength and ruthless methods he uses.

When the arms smuggling market in the other world was in turmoil due to the rise of the Equipment Group, MI6 thought about curbing the Equipment Group.

The Black Organization used to be difficult enough just to make a living in the arms smuggling business.

If the Black Organization becomes bigger and stronger, it will definitely increase the difficulty of their goal of destroying the Black Organization by cubic times.

As a result, many old arms dealers who used to fight with each other have gradually encroached on the arms smuggling market share and squeezed their living space because of the strong rise of the equipment group.

They decided to put aside their past grudges, temporarily shake hands and make peace, and join forces to encircle and suppress the equipment group.

MI6 helped a lot in secret and provided a lot of assistance to those arms dealers.

However, these arms dealers ultimately failed to live up to MI6's expectations.

Not only did he fail to suppress the equipment group, but the equipment group took advantage of this opportunity to swallow up more than half of the market share and stepped on a number of veteran arms dealers to sit on the sole throne.

And it continues to this day and still sits very firmly.

After that, this group of equipment team members who openly used Ying country as their base camp became a thorn in the eyes and flesh of MI6, MI5, and many Ying country senior officials.

First, undercover agents were sent in one after another by various means.

Later, he instigated the church, the largest underground force in Ying country at that time, and caused the two sides to fight over territory.

The effect was very good, but the result was not as perfect as MI6 had imagined.

The tragic result and the aftermath left by the opponent caused the entire MI6 and MI5 to remain silent for a long time.

Since then, the two sides have entered a period of peace that lasted for many years.

Until this year, he tried to avenge himself and was slapped hard in the face again.

From the moment she learned that the person in charge of the equipment group was Whiskey, and that this person was a mechanical genius, Akai Mary knew that this person was definitely a tough guy who was difficult to deal with.

The church, which was so glorious at the time that even official institutions had to give in, was completely destroyed overnight, along with the mysterious supporting forces behind it.

And they were able to get away with it, having swallowed up nearly 90% of the church's territory and property right under the noses of official organizations.

How could he be caught so easily?

Even though Whiskey was alone, and even though the planner of the action was her own son, Mary Akai didn't think she had much chance of winning.

She knew that her eldest son was planning to attack Karasuma Soshin.

I also know that when facing such an opponent, Shuichi Akai must have planned everything out before taking action.

However, the casualties were indeed beyond her expectations.

However, when one thinks about the methods used by the members of the Black Organization in Ying Country, this result does not seem so surprising.

Mary Akai did not forcefully stop him before, firstly because she knew that even if she tried to persuade him, her stubborn son would not listen.

The disappearance of Akai Mutake is a knot in the hearts of every member of the Akai family.

Mary Akai herself can't let go, and she knows her children can't let go either.

Even Hideyoshi, the weakest second son, never gave up.

The interception was successful this time, and the eldest son will do the same thing next time he finds the opportunity.

The second reason is that Mary Akai wanted Shuichi Akai to learn a lesson from this.

You know your own son well.

Arrogance can be said to be a common problem among most geniuses.

It’s just that some people show it outwardly, while others keep it hidden in their bones.

In Mary Akai's eyes, Shuichi Akai belongs to the latter.

And he is the kind of person who has had smooth sailing all the way, and even if he encounters adversity, he will successfully turn the situation around.

From joining the FBI, to going undercover in the Black Organization, to repeated confrontations with the Black Organization.

It can be said that Shuichi Akai has never experienced such a failure, where he had the overall situation in his control but was completely crushed by others.

It's not that I don't know that Whiskey is a terrible person who is good at scheming, has sophisticated means and is ruthless.

It can be known and faced formally.

They are two completely different concepts.

Especially when you think you have a sure win and have calculated everything, the arrogance in your bones will quietly obscure your sharp sense of danger.

Mary Akai, who had witnessed the glory of the church and had also witnessed the tragic scene of its demise, knew it better than anyone else.

He was able to make such a group of powerful, ruthless, and intelligent wolves bow down to him and gather all of them under his command.

Whiskey, who is in charge of the equipment team, must be a terrifying figure whose intelligence surpasses these people.

There are many geniuses like this.

Inevitably, it has also crushed the arrogance of countless geniuses.

Mary Akai originally wanted to take this opportunity, with the help of Karasuma Soshin, to crush the arrogance hidden deep in Shuichi Akai's bones.

Let him have a taste of total failure.

Since then, Shuichi Akai has grown further.

When Shuichi Akai decided to take action against Karasuma Sounobu, Mary Akai, who was informed of the news by Masumi Sera, had a phone call with her eldest son.

On the phone, Shuichi Akai firmly refused to involve MI6, and even rejected Akai Mari's proposal for private participation.

Later, it was learned that Shuichi Akai sent people to inquire about the internal topographic map of Chizuru Mansion, and they were discovered by Conan.

And Mary Akai, who had learned the details of a series of events that took place at Chizuru Mansion, thought that her eldest son had given up the idea.

When she received the call from her daughter, she was shocked at first, then she quickly realized that her eldest son had not given up, but just changed the time of action to after Karasuma Soshin left Chizuru Mansion.

The operation location was changed to a remote road.

The current result can be regarded as achieving her original goal, but the process of achieving it was too tragic.

If she had known the situation would be like this, Mary Akai would never have stopped participating just because her eldest son refused.

It's just that money can't buy it. I already knew it.

After asking their daughter for the information she knew, Akai Mary, Conan and others went into the ward to check on the three people who were seriously injured, the two who were slightly injured, and the two who were lightly injured.

Several FBI members who were not at the explosion site were taking care of the injured members as family members.

When they saw Shuichi Akai coming in with a group of children, they were all surprised.

As for the three FBI agents lying in the intensive care unit, Conan and others could only watch them through the glass.

After watching it, Conan and others found an empty place with few people and talked about the topic they were most concerned about.

That is, the detailed arrangements of Shuichi Akai's operation to capture Whiskey, and the reasons that led to such tragic consequences.

Shuichi Akai did not hide anything at this time and told everything about the plan he had made, the execution process, and what he learned from the conscious injured people.

After listening to the whole story, Akai Mary said with great certainty:

“From the results, I suspect Whiskey knew from the beginning that someone would attack him after he left Qianhe Mansion.

That's why I didn't bring along the female assistant who came with me to Qianhe Mansion in the same car as me at the beginning."

Shuichi Akai didn't say anything. He reviewed the entire process before his sister brought his cousin to the hospital.

He had already realized this belatedly before Akai Mari opened her mouth.

Masumi Sera, who was listening on the side, focused his thoughts on the explosion.

"It's difficult for snipers to hide in open areas. Brother Xiu, you also arranged for people to block the retreat route to prevent possible accomplices from providing support.

So, in this case, how could a bottle of whiskey sitting in a car cause a vehicle to explode at such a distance? "

It can't be that this is just good luck and the car suddenly exploded.

Huiyuan Ai thought about it, and replied in the silence of others:

"Excluding the unexpected factor, the only thing I can think of is a remote-controlled bomb."

"Ha~ Could it be that Whiskey really had foresight that Xiu Ge would send people to arrest him, and even knew the plan clearly.

That’s why the bomb was installed so accurately in advance.”

Sera Masumi didn't believe it, and neither did Akai Shuichi.

"The location for the roundup was decided on temporarily after Whiskey left Qianhe Mansion. It only took 5 minutes from the time the decision was made to the time the personnel were in place."

If Whiskey really knew it so early, why didn't he choose another route or arrange someone to get rid of all of them.

Even if we don't deal with him for some reason, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the eight people who are responsible for tracking, intercepting, and putting up signs.

Instead of wasting time installing remote-controlled bombs, it would be much easier to just blow them all up.

Haibara Ai thought about it and felt that it made sense.

But then another possibility came to mind.

"What if the whiskey is just a warning to you?"

He saw through all the plans in advance, but waited until the opponent thought they had won and then turned the whole situation around.

Not a hair of the planner was harmed, but the other people at the scene were treated so cruelly.

Doesn't this sound like a warning to your opponents not to try to capture him? Otherwise, you may be safe, but your colleagues and subordinates will pay a huge price.

This time only two-thirds of the casualties occurred, but next time it won’t be so easy.

"Warning?"

Akai Shuichi chewed on this word over and over again, with a mysterious look in his eyes.

Using the blood and lives of a group of people just to give him a warning?

This is a heavy warning indeed.
