Lin Shen had just climbed out of the elevator when the sunlight outside made him squint.

Sato Miwako followed behind him, letting out a long sigh of relief as she came out, saying, "Finally... it's over!"

Before he could finish speaking, Inspector Megure rushed over, his phone practically dripping wet from his grip: "Sato! President Hayashi! Are you alright?"

Miwako Sato nodded: "We're alright. What about the bomb? Have you found the second address?"

Inspector Megure's face was extremely grim: "We found him, but that criminal... he sent another challenge!"

Miwako Sato was completely stunned: "What? There's a second one?"

Inspector Megure nodded: "Yes. This time he's gone even further. He said he planted a total of two hundred bombs in various wards of Tokyo!"

After Conan followed behind, his eyes widened behind his glasses: "Two hundred? Really?"

Inspector Megure sighed: "It's absolutely true. The notice said they'd specifically target the rich and heartless, blowing up one family every half hour—families with a monthly income of over ten million."

Hearing this, Lin Shen interjected, "That's easy. There aren't many people in Tokyo with a monthly income of ten million, are there?"

Inspector Megure gave a wry smile: "The problem is, who would admit to being rich and heartless? Besides, we don't even know which district he'll blow up first!"

Conan thought for a moment and then said, "Inspector Megure, there's really no need to worry too much."

Inspector Megure turned to look at him: "Hmm?"

Conan pushed up his glasses: "The culprit's targets are wealthy people. Wealthy people live in luxury apartments and detached villas with good security, making it very difficult for ordinary people to sneak in and plant bombs."

"Moreover, these people are unpredictable. If they really explode, at most you'll only lose some houses and cars; the casualties shouldn't be too great."

After listening, Inspector Megure pondered for a moment and nodded: "Hmm... now that you mention it, it does seem to make some sense."

He glanced at his phone: "It's been about half an hour. I wonder where the first one will explode."

Upon hearing Inspector Megure's words, what else could Lin Shen say?

Let's get to work!

Let's start by bombing the nearest one!

He stood to the side, his hands in his pockets.

In his pocket was a small button phone.

He didn't take it out; he just rummaged in the bag, found the button, and pressed it gently.

Boom—!!

A muffled thud came from afar.

The sound was deep and resonant, like a large drum being pounded through.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a fireball suddenly erupt from the middle floor of a high-rise apartment building several kilometers away.

Thick black smoke billowed upwards, and shards of glass and broken bricks fell from mid-air.

Inspector Megure's face turned pale instantly: "Oh no! It really exploded!"

He took off running in that direction, shouting as he ran, "Quick! Call the fire department! Let's go!"

Without saying a word, Sato Miwako rushed out after her.

Conan immediately gave chase.

Lin Shen followed at the very back at a leisurely pace, casually patting the dust off his clothes.

He glanced in that direction, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

This is only the first one.

When the group arrived at the apartment building, the fire trucks had not yet arrived.

The area downstairs was already packed with people, all craning their necks to look up.

Some were taking pictures with their phones, some were staring blankly with their mouths open, and some were shouting, "It was so loud! The whole building shook!"

Megure pushed his way through the crowd, holding up his police badge: "Make way! Metropolitan Police Department! Make way!"

He led Sato, Conan, and Lin Shen into the building. The elevator was still working, so they pressed the button for the seventeenth floor.

The elevator doors opened, and a wave of hot air rushed out.

The corridor was filled with cigarette ash, and the motion-sensor lights overhead kept flashing.

Inspector Megure took two steps forward, then froze.

At the end of the corridor, the security door of that apartment was still closed, and the door panel did not appear to have any major damage.

But the wall next to the door was completely gone.

It didn't crack, it didn't collapse, it just vanished.

The steel bars inside the wall were twisted and exposed, like a twisted rope.

Half of the floorboards at the entrance had collapsed, revealing the dark floor structure underneath.

Sato Miwako followed and gasped in shock: "This...how is this possible?"

Conan slipped past her, pressed himself against the wall, and cautiously peered into the doorway.

The situation inside was even worse.

The entire glass wall in the living room was shattered, and most of the balcony was blown away, hanging precariously outside.

The bedroom closest to the balcony had no floorboards left, just a large hole that allowed a direct view down to the fifth-floor rooms.

The room was filled with charred wood, broken glass, and twisted metal frames.

The air was filled with a pungent, acrid smell, mixed with an indescribable strange odor.

Conan swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly: "This power... is just too exaggerated."

Lin Shen stood in the entryway, glanced down at the pair of slippers next to the shoe cabinet, and added in a flat tone, "There should be someone home in this house."

"But now there's nothing left, not even a trace of blood foam; it's all evaporated."

These words, once spoken, were like a stone thrown into water.

The faces of Inspector Megure and Miwako Sato instantly turned pale.

Sato Miwako opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Megure Juzo froze on the spot, his gaze fixed on the charred ruins, his mind buzzing.

After a long while, he shakily pulled out his phone and dialed Inspector Matsumoto's number: "Inspector Matsumoto... it's me, Inspector Megure... we've arrived at the explosion site."

"The power of this bomb is just too great... I... I can't explain it clearly. Let me take a video and send it to you."

As he spoke, he turned on the video recorder, his hands trembling violently, and carefully filmed the horrific scene before him before sending it over.

After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the half-collapsed apartment again, his voice slightly hoarse: "This is just the first one... there are still 199 more to come... those rich people are probably going crazy."

Conan stood by the ruins, without saying a word.

The power of this explosion is unlike anything that could be produced by a typical homemade bomb.

Instead, it looks like... a military explosive!

Moreover, to achieve this effect, a large quantity is required!

But for ordinary people, what chance do they have of coming into contact with contraband?

unless……

Conan then looked at Lin Shen, his eyes filled with a hint of suspicion.

Lin Shen felt Conan's gaze and whispered, "You guessed right, this matter does indeed have something to do with me!!"

Conan was shocked and said, "What...what did you say?"

Lin Shen said without changing his expression, "Some time ago, someone contacted me to buy a large batch of C4 bombs... I didn't think much of it and sold them to them."

Conan was shocked. He said, somewhat exasperated, "Why are you selling so many bombs to other people? Aren't you afraid they'll use them to blow you up?"

Lin Shen smiled and said, "Don't worry, nobody has the guts!"

Conan quickly pressed, "Where is that person? Do you know what he looks like?"

Lin Shen shook his head and said, "I don't know, but anyway... something big is about to happen!!"

Conan, seeing Lin Shen watching the commotion with amusement, was speechless!

He urgently said to Inspector Megure, "Inspector Megure, we can't delay any longer!! Quickly gather those people who earn ten million yen a month and put them under centralized protection!"

"If all else fails, then tell them not to go home and not to drive their own cars!!"

"I'll just make do at a hotel tonight!!"

After regaining his senses, Inspector Megure quickly called Inspector Matsumoto again to relay Conan's words!
