like the others, should we? Akai yelled at him, sticking the barrel of his gun in his mouth with Scotchs.

He had tears in his eyes and shook his head in panic.

"So?" Akai asked expectantly.

"The ... the organization has a laboratory just a few miles from headquarters. It's the only place gin could have brought sherry to during this time," he swore.

Akai grinned, then brought the gun to his forehead. Scotch's heart nearly stopped.

Then Akai pulled the trigger.

A simple click was the result. The gun wasn't loaded.

The FBI agent took out his cell phone and put it to his ear.

"Did you hear everything?" He asked Conan, who was connected the whole time.

"Yes, I did ... but ... that with cognac and calvados was a bluff, right?", The little detective sounded a little unsure of himself.

Akai managed a smile.

"No pain, no gain.", He replied simply, although he knew that he was not giving Conan a correct answer.

"I'm already on my way there, how long will it take the FBI?" The detective wanted to know. Akai checked his watch.

"It takes a while before we are mobile and we can't send many people because of the access to their headquarters soon. An hour for sure.", He had to disappoint him.

"I see, I'll try to make the most of the time, I'm relying on you!" Conan replied and hung up.

Akai put the cell phone back in his pocket and brought his colleague whom he had previously sent to the land of dreams into an upright position.He would be mad at him, but what the heck. He probably wouldn't have to face the consequences anyway, because it was uncertain whether he would ever return to the FBI. Then he left the command center. His supervisor and mentor, James Black, his colleague André Camel, and his partner Jodie Starling. To finally finish what he had longed for.

"Soon I'll be with you ... my beloved enemy."
Beika - Professor Agasa's house
Why didn't Shinichi call him? The boy knew exactly what worried the old man was. There was no sign of life from him or from Ai. Were both unharmed? Or was one of them ... No, he didn't want to think about it.

Then suddenly there were noises at the front door. Impossible! Did these guys come back to finish their job? Agasa grabbed a broom from the closet and stalked closer and closer to the hallway. The one hadn't knocked, it just had to be a bad guy! He recognized the silhouette of a tall, lanky man and knew he had to take advantage of the element of surprise.

With a battle cry, he charged the man and hit him on the head with the broomstick.

"Auaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Yelled the guy and held his head in pain.

"Oh my god, dad! Is everything okay?", Ran rushed to her father and held his head.

Professor Agasa staggered back, puzzled and embarrassed.

"That ... I'm sorry!", He managed to get out until Kogoro glared at him angrily.

"Professor Agasa! Have you been broken into? The lock was picked and everything in here looks ransacked!", The girl was seriously worried.

Her father kept pointing at the red bump on his head, as if she was neglecting him altogether.

Agasa could no longer. He collapsed and Ran and Kogoro had to overthrow him and heave him onto the couch.

"That was a bullet hole on the door," said Kogoro expertly.

His daughter stared at him in disbelief.

"Oh my god! Burglar? Was Conan here? And what about Ai-chan?", She tried to elicit information from the professor. He held both hands in front of his face and trembled like a leaf.

"They ... they have them ..." he stammered. The man was clearly not quite with himself.

"Who has whom? Were Conan-kun and Ai-chan kidnapped?", Ran asked excitedly.

Agasa put her hands to her head and looked around confusedly.

"Ai-kun ... and ... Shinichi! You have them!", He replied, without knowing at that moment what exactly he was saying.

"Shi ... Shinichi was here? Where ... where is he?" Asked Ran worriedly.

"The detective villain? What does he have to do with it?" Asked Kogoro, confused.

Ran tried to call Shinichi, but the cell phone seemed to be turned off.

"He .... Ai-kun ... after ...", Agasa stammered, until he realized what he was actually giving away.But Ran had jumped up and went to the man's desk. Immediately she searched all the shops and finally found what would help her. They were glasses like those Conan wore. She remembered the case during which she was mistaken for another woman and abducted. Conan used his glasses to find her as she had a detective badge with her. She didn't know if Shinichi owned one, but Ai-chan certainly did.

"With that ... I can find them, right?" She told the professor.

"Are you crazy? You can't ..."

But her father also seemed to be eying her doubtfully.

"What are your ideas? If the detective villain and the girl have been kidnapped, I'll call Inspector Megure immediately. He'll help us with the matter."

"But ... this is not just about Shinichi, right? It's also about Conan, am I right?" This look was enough for Ran to run outside with his detective goggles.

"We'll borrow your bug, Professor!", She called back and Kogoro followed her at a short distance.

"Hey Ran wait! You don't really plan to go alone to this place where the girl and the detective villain are, are you?"

But Ran did not accept any contradiction.

"Please dad! It's ... really incredibly important to me," she pleaded.

Kogoro was left with no other choice. In the passenger seat, Ran tried to use the glasses.

"I see the signal from Ayumi-chan, Genta-kun, Mitsuhiko-kun ... but not from Ai-chan. But that doesn't matter. I receive that from Conan-kun.", She revealed while Kogoro started the car.

"But how is that supposed to help us find the detective villain?" He asked confused.

Ran avoided his gaze and stared straight ahead.

"Because I think where Shinichi is ... we'll find Conan-kun too."
Shinjuku - Abandoned Laboratory
He knew he was right here. Conan would have liked another hint, but basically it was all he needed. The black Porsche 356A was parked in the driveway of the remote building. The building was set apart and bordered by a forest. Perfect for your research. But the young detective still had a lot more to offer. Two armed men patrolling the premises. Still, he didn't let himself be stopped and hid behind the Porsche and sneaked up to the agents. The engine was still warm, gin had to be here. Suddenly he looked one of the armed guards straight in the eye and reacted quickly. He used his anesthetic chronometer to numb him. His buddy rushed over to him, but Conan's super kickboots had already been used. The first hurdle would be removed.

The shrunken detective was now standing in front of the entrance and he became aware of one thing.In there lurked the man he had been after for so long. And the person he had known for over a year and who had grown dear to his heart. He couldn't risk something happening to her. He took off his glasses and put them on the floor. Then he reached into his pocket to pull out exactly what would help him face gin on the same level. He didn't have to overwhelm him, just buy time until the FBI was here. And he could only do that as one person. As Shinichi Kudo.
Shinjuku - 500 meters from Tokiwa-Pharmaceutics
James Black stood together with Toshiro Odagiri in front of the table of the mobile emergency vehicle and were constantly disturbed by questions from the heavily armed police officers.

Jodie Starling and Subaru Okiya felt some use
