I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 543 They've All Gone Small (1st Update)
The piercing alarm shattered the silence of the laboratory, and the flashing red light illuminated everyone's faces in an intermittent manner.

Kogoro Mouri looked grim and said, "Oh no, they're coming! They've taken all our weapons, what are we going to do?"

"..." Kudo Yusaku did not speak. He remained calm as always, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings before finally locking onto the surveillance camera in the corner.

“We can’t let them know our whereabouts,” he said, grabbing a centrifuge and smashing it precisely at the monitor.

At the same time, he also realized that Shinichi's shrinking had been captured on surveillance footage!
This is no longer something that can be solved by simply running away; we must destroy all witnesses and physical evidence.

Conan glanced at the lab door lock and said anxiously, "The exit requires a password and a pass, and we have neither, not even time!!"

"Aren't you three the smartest detectives in Kanto and Kansai?" Kogoro Mori interrupted impatiently, urging, "Hurry up and figure out a way to crack this!"

"Uncle! We're detectives, not magicians!!" Heiji said speechlessly, "These electronic locks require specialized equipment to unlock!"

"Then are we just going to sit here and wait to die?" Kogoro Mori realized they were doomed.

Heiji was about to say something when his body began to tremble violently. His knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground, his skin flushing an unnatural red.

"It's so hot." His expression was distressed, and his voice became hoarse. "My bones feel like they're melting!!"

"Hey, Osaka kid, are you alright?" Mori rushed over to help him up, but the next second he also knelt down.

Yusaku had only taken two steps when he suddenly clutched his chest, his breathing becoming rapid and disordered.

Conan watched in horror as the three adults curled up in pain, their bones making a chilling "creaking" sound, and their clothes becoming looser at a visible speed.

An unbelievable thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be that you all—"

Before he could finish speaking, the scene before him made Conan's eyes widen in astonishment.

Heiji has shrunk to the size of an elementary school student, while Mori and Yusaku have become sixth-grade students.

Most surprisingly, the three of them stood up almost immediately, showing none of the weakness he had felt when he was shrunk.

"I really shrunk?" Heiji touched his childlike face, his voice clear and bright like a child's: "This is troublesome! I'll have to ask for leave from school too!!"

Kogoro Mouri, tugging at his suddenly oversized shirt collar, exclaimed excitedly, "I don't know how this happened?! But my beer belly is gone! This is amazing!!!"

Yusaku flexed his wrists, a strange light gleaming in his eyes: "Is this what it feels like to shrink? My neck pain from sitting for so long seems to be gone, and my body feels incredibly light!"

"Now is not the time for sentimentality!" Conan quickly reminded everyone, his voice rising an octave with excitement: "We'll study this properly when we get back!! Ireland and the others could arrive at any moment!"

Yuzaku nodded, temporarily suppressing his joy at shrinking.

He looked up at the ceiling and said, “Run through the ventilation ducts! We can easily get through now that we’re this big.”

"Okay!" Without saying a word, Kogoro Mouri jumped onto the operating table, his amazing jumping ability allowing him to easily grab the vent cover.

He himself was startled.

After prying open the cover, he easily climbed up, exclaiming excitedly, "Kids are amazing! They climbed up so effortlessly!!"

"Hurry up and get on!" he urged.

One by one, the four of them crawled into the narrow pipe. Just as Conan was climbing in last, the laboratory door beeped open.

He quickly crawled into the ventilation duct and then followed closely behind Yusaku.

At this moment, Ireland had already led its men in and stormed in!
He looked around, pistol in hand, but found no one there. His gaze finally settled on a ventilation opening in the ceiling. He cursed, "Damn it! How did they get in there?!"

"Seal off all exits! They can't get far!!"

--------------

Inside the office in Ireland.

The metal grilles of the ceiling vents were silently pushed open.

Kogoro Mouri poked his head out, his sharp eyes quickly scanning the entire room.

After confirming it was safe, he lightly leaped down, even spinning in the air, before landing steadily and clapping his hands triumphantly.

"How about it? Pretty good, huh?" He lowered his voice, a smug smile playing on his lips. "After shrinking, I'm actually more agile."

Conan followed closely behind and jumped down, landing almost silently.

He pushed up his glasses and glanced helplessly at Mori: "Uncle, now is not the time to show off."

Heiji was the third to land. He rubbed his wrist and grinned, "But it's really convenient. I wasn't this agile before."

Yusaku was the last to land. His movements were the most composed. After landing, he immediately looked around and locked his gaze on the weapon box in the corner of the room.

He strode over, lifted the lid of the box, and inside were neatly arranged submachine guns, pistols, grenades, and even C4 bombs.

“Found it.” Yuzaku said in a low voice, quickly checking the equipment: “It’s all still here. It seems they haven’t had time to deal with it yet.”

He began to take up arms and re-equip himself.

Kogoro Mouri also went over and quickly picked up a submachine gun and handed it over, skillfully checking the magazine of the pistol.

Conan and Heiji abandoned their submachine guns and each took a small pistol that suited their current size, while stuffing several grenades and C4 bombs into their pockets.

“Listen,” Yusaku’s voice was low and calm: “We’ll split up, each of us will plant bombs and create chaos.”

"Remember, the goal isn't to kill people, but to destroy this lab and ensure they can't continue their research!"

Kogoro Mouri gripped his submachine gun tightly, a flash of anger in his eyes: "Don't worry, I don't want to be captured by them again and used as a test subject."

Heiji grinned, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "Finally, I can teach these guys a lesson."

Conan nodded, his expression grave: "You must be careful, you might not be used to children's bodies yet!"

Yuzukawa checked the plan one last time: "In twenty minutes, whether or not it's completed, meet at the east exit. The detonation time is set at thirty minutes, which is enough time for us to evacuate."

The four exchanged a determined look, then without further ado, climbed back into the ventilation duct.

Yusaku crawled slowly inside the ventilation duct, purposefully searching for the monitoring room.

The monitoring room must be destroyed, and all the data in the monitoring room must be wiped out!
If the surveillance footage of Shinichi turning into Conan gets leaked, then the whole family of three is doomed!
With that thought in mind, Yusaku looked at the ring in his hand and pressed it down without hesitation.

He still needs Emi Shiraishi's help!
By letting the enemy break through head-on and draw their fire, he will have a chance to tamper with things from the monitoring room!
