After Conan tossed the tracker onto Akemi Miyano's car,

He immediately followed on his skateboard.

Though slower than a car,

With the tracker, he wouldn't lose them.

By the time he reached the abandoned warehouse,

Gunshots rang out.

Followed by a scream.

Conan's face drained of color.

『Conan』: Did I get here too late...? Is Akemi Miyano dead?

In his reasoning,

Akemi Miyano was likely one of the ten-billion-yen robbers.

But surely, there were others behind her.

And he had a hunch,

This meeting was going to be the end for her.

Silencing her was the likely outcome.

And now, just as he arrived, gunshots.

『Conan』: No... it's not certain yet.

He had to confirm with his own eyes.

So, following the sounds,

He began searching carefully.

Not far ahead,

He spotted shadows moving inside one of the warehouses.

He quickly stopped behind a wall to avoid being seen.

『Conan』 (whispers): S-Superman...?

『??』: Idiot!

...

The conversation from within echoed outward.

Conan peeked cautiously into the warehouse,

But immediately pulled back, pressing against the wall, heart pounding.

Thump, thump, thump!

His heart raced wildly.

His eyes wide, shocked.

『Conan』: The Black Organization...!

There was no mistaking it.

The two figures inside,

Black coats, black hats.

Classic Black Organization attire.

After all,

It was these two who had once given him the poison that shrank his body.

Without them, Conan wouldn't be a child now.

These were no small-time criminals.

He'd first seen them during a one-billion-yen deal.

Seeing them again, his emotions churned.

Not just excitement,

But fear too.

The drug they used had turned him into a child.

Unbelievable.

Yet despite that,

Conan didn't run.

He took a deep breath.

And peered back inside.

More voices came from within,

『Gin』: I don't know how you got here…

『Gin』: But it seems you're choosing to stand against us.

A tense standoff.

Then, Gin raised his gun.

『Conan』: No! The Black Organization is about to kill someone!

Panicked, Conan raised his tranquilizer watch.

But,

From this angle, he might expose himself.

And there was only one tranquilizer dart.

They had two people.

Even if he hit one, the other remained.

『Conan』: No time to hesitate!

Conan flipped the switch.

The cover rose, revealing the aiming device.

He locked onto Gin,

But suddenly froze.

His body was exposed at the warehouse entrance,

Giving him a better view inside.

He saw,

The person confronting the Black Organization

Was a young man in a superhero-like outfit.

More importantly,

He was floating.

『Conan』: What...?

That man wasn't standing on the ground, he was in midair.

『Conan』: Is he actually a superhero?

Impossible.

He was a detective, he didn't believe in urban legends.

Then,

Bang!

A gunshot.

Gin had fired.

『Conan』: No!

Too late to tranquilize now.

That man would surely be hurt, or worse.

Conan sighed,

And aimed again.

But then he noticed,

The man was unharmed.

Completely unscathed.

『Conan』: What...?

And then,

That man looked directly at Conan.

Conan instinctively ducked.

Moments later,

Voices again from the warehouse.

『Gin』: You think you can,

The voice cut off abruptly.

『Conan』: What happened?

Curious, he peeked again,

Only to be stunned.

The two Black Organization members,

Were lying on the ground.

Unmoving.

Blood seeped from around them.

『Conan』: Dead...?

How...?

They had guns.

Did that man also have a weapon?

Then he heard more voices.

Akemi Miyano and the unknown man.

Too quiet to catch everything.

Snippets like "sister," "rescue," "safe."

『Conan』: Do they know each other…?

Is he here to help her?

Then,

『??』: There are still some loose ends to clean up.

『??』: Little detective, won't you come out and say hello?

『Conan』: !?!?

He's been found!

Even if he took down the Black Organization,

That didn't mean this guy was a good person.

The police wouldn't kill suspects immediately.

Usually, they'd try to capture them.

But this man, knew Akemi Miyano.

Clearly not law enforcement.

『Conan』: Maybe he's using some invisible wires… or standing on something transparent...

It had to be some trick.

After all, this was just the real world.

『Conan』: Do I run?

But he's a full-grown adult.

If he could kill those men, he must be strong.

Even if I try to run, I might get shot.

Conan's heart sank.

No escape.

Only one dart. One shot.

The tranquilizer watch was ready.

He took a breath,

And stepped into the warehouse.

Wearing an innocent smile:

『Conan』: Big bro, were you calling me?

Then he noticed the man's outfit,

『Conan』: Wow!

『Conan』: Are you playing superheroes and villains?

『Akemi Miyano』: Conan?

She blinked, surprised he followed them here.

『Carl』 (smiling): That's right.

『Carl』: We're just roleplaying as superheroes and bad guys.

『Carl』: Want to join us, Kudō Shinichi?

Conan's bright smile faltered.

His expression froze.
