Today was a very special day for Kyogoku Makoto. Originally, he only returned to his hometown on the weekend to help out because the shop his family ran in Izu was short-staffed. He did not expect that on the way back, he would unexpectedly encounter a girl he had seen at a competition. The first time he saw her was when she was cheering for a friend. At that time, it was also the first time he realized that there really were girls who could be so cute. Her straightforward appearance was like the most dazzling light in the crowd, making him unable to help but gaze at her. Back then, he only knew that the girl's school was Teitan High School, but because he usually had many competitions to participate in, it felt inappropriate to suddenly go looking for Teitan High School. That initial reserve made him deeply regretful now. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽 It was not until today, when he returned to his hometown to help, that he saw the girl who had captured his heart for the second time. But this time, there was already a boy by the girl's side. He could not stop the jealousy and bitterness in his heart, but he also knew that this was not the reaction he should have. He was just secretly in love, and he had not even expressed these feelings. The girl did not even know his name. In such a situation, even if he felt jealous, he had no right to vent it. That jealousy made him unable to help but deny the boy next to the girl. It was not until that boy directly rejected a man who was trying to pick her up, and with simple words, deduced that the man had committed a murder. This deductive ability made even him, an outsider, realize that the boy was actually very outstanding. However, this realization made Kyogoku Makoto's heart even more bitter. After the man who had been trying to pick her up was arrested, his thoughts and attention were focused on the girl. Unconsciously, his gaze followed her, and even his body followed suit. But what he saw was the girl actively taking the boy's hand, and the boy lightly kissing the girl. It was at this moment that Kyogoku Makoto felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. The intense panic and unease that he could not stop feeling told him that his connection with the girl was completely severed. The thread of fate that once belonged to them was completely torn apart at this moment. No matter how unwilling he was, this was a reality he had to accept. Watching the girl walk away, this time, Kyogoku Makoto's body did not instinctively follow, because his instinct told him that there was no longer any meaning. Whether a girl is in love with a boy can actually be seen with the eyes. That strong intention, like light, can be seen by everyone. Especially when that light is displayed for a specific boy, there will be no other opposite sex in the girl's eyes. The fate was completely broken. Kyogoku Makoto hung his head, and his entire aura fell into gloom and dejection. It was the first time he had truly fallen in love with a girl, but the cruel reality told him that the girl actually had a boyfriend. While Kyogoku Makoto was dejected, two guests arrived at the landmark hotel in Izu. "Oh, is the reserved room this luxurious?" Hattori Heiji looked at the reserved room with interest. "Hattori, are you so interested in this trip? Don't forget, this trip isn't completely free. You can only get it completely free if you solve the mystery of this trip." Seeing such an excited Hattori Heiji, Edogawa Conan could not help but remind him. "Edogawa, are you worried about this mystery?" This question instantly left Edogawa Conan speechless. Considering that they were both great detectives who often faced difficult and mysterious cases, solving a riddle now was indeed like walking into a trap. "Speaking of which, why did you suddenly decide to participate in this trip?" Edogawa Conan did not quite understand this. Speaking of this, Hattori Heiji also became a little more serious. "One of the reasons is that I'll be returning to Osaka after this weekend. I came here before to investigate your cause of death, and I didn't expect so many things to be involved later, so my Old Man let me stay for a while longer." "But there's a limit to this time. Next Monday is the deadline." "Coincidentally, Professor Agasa also had such an opportunity and invitation this weekend, so I brought you along. It can be considered a final relaxation." "Of course, the second reason is the key." "It's about that organization." Edogawa Conan was suddenly startled, but he quickly controlled his emotions. "That organization, is there any news?" Hattori Heiji nodded slightly, then explained: "Actually, this isn't exclusive news from my side. It should be said that similar news has been received throughout the entire Police area." "I also got the news through Takagi. But I think this should be my Old Man intentionally letting Takagi give it to me." "Just a few days ago, one of that organization's research bases was raided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department." "That organization was raided?" Edogawa Conan felt very bewildered, then calmly analyzed it. "Although that organization engages in gray industry transactions, I observed that the organization should be very careful in its actions, especially regarding its bases. They shouldn't be easily found by the Police." "Hmm, I think so too. Of course, the analysis based on the information I received is indeed like that. That organization's base was inexplicably targeted, and then the raid was completed." "But after the raid, a very serious problem arose." "According to the intelligence Takagi told me, the Tokyo Police intercepted some very important data. Among them were materials about the APTX drug, and the assassination list that the organization used that drug for." At this moment, Edogawa Conan's mind completely exploded. He did not expect that the Tokyo Police had done such a big thing without his knowledge. Hattori Heiji also knew that this news was a bit explosive, so he waited for Edogawa Conan to digest the information himself. Soon, Edogawa Conan was calm again. Although he was very irrational at the moment, this matter happened too suddenly, so suddenly that he felt there might be a trick involved. "Something's not right. That organization must have kept the research data for that drug very well. How could the Police intercept this data so precisely?" "It's almost as if that organization deliberately left the information for the Police." Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement. "Indeed, I also made the same guess as you at first. However, I also received other news from Takagi." "It's about a third party, other than the Police and that organization." "The reason that organization had such a big oversight, and why the Police were able to smoothly intercept the data from that organization, is speculated to be due to the involvement of a third party."
