"I want an autograph, and I want a photo with you!"
"With Chen Anxia here, this time we're in luck."
"Wow, Chen Anxia truly lives up to his reputation as the 'modern Sherlock Holmes' star detective. Look, even before that high school detective Shinichi Kudo has figured out his thoughts, Chen Anxia already knows who the murderer is."
"I was fortunate enough to witness Chen Anxia's deduction of the Phantom Thief Kid in Ekoda Ward. At that time, Chen Anxia's deductive reasoning ability was truly impressive!"
"Kudo from Kanto, Hattori from Kansai, and above them, Chen Anxia..."
......
Hearing the crowd's amazement, admiration, and praise for Chen Anxia, Shinichi Kudo's face fell.
The reaction and enthusiasm of the crowd at the scene were far stronger than what he had just witnessed.
Although Shinichi Kudo understood, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
However, compared to his displeasure, Shinichi Kudo was more curious about how Chen Anxia knew who the murderer was.
Not just Shinichi Kudo, everyone present wanted to know.
Megure Juzo asked impatiently, "Anxia, do you really know who the murderer is?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia smiled slightly and said, "Oh, of course I know."
As she spoke, Chen Anxia looked at someone and pointed at her, saying, "The murderer is her."
Everyone followed Chen Anxia's gaze, but when they saw that Chen Anxia was pointing at a woman, they were all stunned.
Even if those present didn't understand, they knew that it was almost impossible for a woman to cut a person's neck.
After a moment of astonishment, the woman Chen Anxia pointed at immediately showed a look of panic and opened her mouth as if to say something.
But Chen Anxia didn't give her a chance to speak. He reached into his pocket, pulled something out, and said to the woman, "You should know what this is, right?"
“After all, it was hanging around your neck before.”
Upon seeing this, the woman could no longer utter the words she had intended to say; only an expression of disbelief crossed her face.
She didn't know why this thing was in Chen Anxia's hands, but she knew that Chen Anxia had indeed found direct evidence to prove that he was the murderer.
Those present could see that Chen Anxia had taken out a thin thread coiled into a circle, with a hook-like object attached to one side of the thread.
However, they had no idea how this thing was related to the murder.
Chen Anxia didn't stop and immediately began her reasoning.
Chen Anxia's reasoning this time started from the victim's wounds, then moved to the murderer's method of killing, and finally to the related reasoning about the murder weapon.
Listening to Chen Anxia's complete, closed-loop reasoning, everyone's faces showed a look of sudden realization, knowing that the thing in Chen Anxia's hand was the murder weapon in this case.
Ultimately, the police took the murderer away, as well as Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng, to give statements.
After seeing Chen Anxia and Watson leave, Suzuki Sonoko also left first, looking rather uninterested, leaving behind a secretly pleased Shinichi Kudo and a regretful Ran Mouri at Dorobiga Park.
However, Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri are currently unaware of what awaits them in the not-too-distant future...

"Sorry, Xiaolan, something's come up here. You should go back now!"
As he spoke, Shinichi Kudo suddenly ran away without warning.
Ran Mouri, unresponsive, could only watch in panic as Shinichi Kudo walked away, calling out "Shinichi..." in a desperate attempt to stop him.
At that very moment, watching Shinichi Kudo's figure gradually disappear, tears suddenly welled up in Ran Mouri's eyes.
Ran Mouri ignored the sudden burst of tears, staring blankly in the direction where Shinichi Kudo had disappeared, a thought suddenly popping into her mind.
Why do I have this ominous feeling that once Shinichi leaves, I'll never see him again...?
Thinking about it, Ran Mouri shook her little head vigorously, trying to banish the feeling from her mind, muttering to herself, "It's just an illusion, it must be an illusion. Shinichi just went to take care of something, he'll be back soon!"
As she spoke, Ran Mouri subconsciously reached out and wiped her cheek.
The next moment, feeling the dampness on her fingertips, Ran Mouri couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Strange, why am I crying?"
However, Ran Mouri didn't think much of it, or rather, she didn't dare to think much of it at all.
After calming herself down, Ran Mouri went straight home.
Shinichi Kudo followed Vodka all the way to a secluded wasteland in a corner of Dorobiga Paradise.
The reason why Shinichi Kudo followed Vodka was because his detective intuition told him that Gin and Vodka's identities were not simple and that they might be involved in a big secret involving illegal and criminal activities.
Clearly, Shinichi Kudo's detective intuition was correct.
Under Shinichi Kudo's watchful eye, Vodka arrived and walked up to a bald, middle-aged man wearing sunglasses who had been waiting there.
The first impression this bald, middle-aged man gave was that he was not a kind person, but at this moment he appeared extremely anxious, fearful and uneasy.
So much so that upon seeing the vodka, he couldn't help but exclaim urgently, "I came alone as promised, quick... quick, give me the stuff!"
Vodka, with a cold smile, replied calmly, "Don't rush, let me see the money first."
Without hesitation, the bald middle-aged man opened his briefcase and showed Vodka the contents of it.
Hidden in the shadows, Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but show a look of surprise, muttering to himself, 'Wow, there's at least a hundred million island yen in there. What kind of transaction are they conducting here...?'
Unbeknownst to Shinichi Kudo, who was secretly observing, another figure was also watching him and slowly approaching from behind.
Meanwhile, on a tall building in the distance, a Super Magnum was already set up with an instant-detonation grenade.
This Super Magnum also has another name: the AWM sniper rifle.
At this moment, the instant-detonation round had already locked onto the vodka through the scope of the sniper rifle.
The right index finger of the man holding the sniper rifle trigger was constantly bending and straightening, clearly indicating that he was eager to fire but was desperately trying to restrain himself.
The Instant Bomb whispered, "I miss you so much, Gin, please appear soon..."
Meanwhile, through the conversation between Vodka and the bald middle-aged man, Shinichi Kudo learned that Vodka had information about the bald middle-aged man's gun smuggling and was trading the corresponding film with him.
In response, Shinichi Kudo tried his best to control himself and not make a big fuss, while secretly using the camera he carried with him to film the transaction.
For Shinichi Kudo, both the vodka and the bald middle-aged man had broken the law and should be punished accordingly.
However, Shinichi Kudo, full of a sense of justice, was unaware that danger was approaching.
The next moment, a chilling voice suddenly rang out, "Little detective, that's enough!"
Before Shinichi Kudo could react, he felt a heavy blow to his head, and his consciousness began to blur instantly.
Vodka and the bald middle-aged man, who were in the middle of the transaction, sensed the commotion and were shocked to see Shinichi Kudo lying on the ground with a bloody head.
After that, the bald middle-aged man picked up the film and ran away.
On the other side, through the scope of a sniper rifle, the instant-explosive grenade also saw the commotion.
Upon seeing Shinichi Kudo, Instant Blast frowned and muttered, "What's this kid doing here?"
"Should we save him? But if we do, this mission will be a complete failure..."
"Moreover, even if we save him, he'll be targeted by that organization, and then he'll face endless assassination attempts..."
Muttering to himself, Instant Bomb made a decision: not to save Shinichi Kudo.
After making his decision, Instant Bomb muttered again, "Don't blame me, kid, blame yourself..."
"Curiosity killed the cat..."
As he spoke, the instant-explosive grenade spotted Gin emerging from the corner through the scope.
However, Gin did not completely step out from the corner, resulting in most of his body being out of the scope's view.
Seeing this, the instant-detonation grenade could only suppress its inner turmoil and wait for the best opportunity to arrive.
The mission of the instantaneous bomb this time is to capture Gin alive, not to kill him.
Therefore, the instant-explosive bullet must incapacitate Gin with a single shot, but not kill him.
If the instant-explosive grenade were fired at Gin now, it would injure him, but Gin could easily hide behind a wall after being hit.
In this situation, it would be too late for the instant-detonation grenade to pursue.
Since Vodka is still around, he can easily take down the injured Gin while the instant-explosive bomb is chasing after him.
As for shooting Gin and then Vodka...
Well, unless Vodka is still standing still and letting you design it.
Otherwise, Vodka could have immediately found cover and avoided the sniper shot after seeing Gin injured.
Upon seeing Gin, Vodka asked in a somewhat panicked manner, "Brother, what's going on?"
In response, Gin coldly replied, "He saw everything that just happened..."
Upon hearing this, Vodka hurriedly asked, "Should I kill him?!"
Gin shook his head slightly and replied, "No, we can't use guns. There was just a murder here. If another shooting happens, the police will definitely suspect us."
As he spoke, Gin pulled a square box from his pocket and took out a capsule from it.
Then, Gin grabbed Shinichi Kudo by the hair and roughly pulled up his bleeding head.
Then, Gin fed the capsule into Shinichi Kudo's mouth while sneering, "This is a new poison developed by the organization. You won't detect any toxicity in the corpse if you use it..."
"That way we can commit the perfect crime..."
This scene was witnessed by the instant-detonation grenade, which was peering through the scope.
Looking at the square box in Gin's hand, and the capsule he took out of it, a burning light suddenly flashed in Instant Bomb's eyes. He muttered, "This capsule... could it be the APOTOXIN4869 he mentioned...?"
Without any hesitation, the instantaneous explosive grenade was pulled sharply.
This shot also marked the official start of the battle between Silver Bullet and the Black Organization!

As Gin got up, a bullet pierced his right calf.
