Rat screamed in his pocket, "This is a trap!"

"Sister Xue, let's go!" Conan grabbed her wrist, but at this moment, the ground suddenly shook.

There was the roar of a helicopter in the distance. It was not Kuroda's support, but one with the familiar crow logo.

Kudo Yuki suddenly smiled, with a cold murderous intent in her smile. She took out the micro signal transmitter hidden under her tongue - this was the final agreement with Mizunashi Rena.

The moment the button was pressed, blue smoke rose in the direction of the ski resort. That was the CIA's emergency signal.

"Conan, close your eyes." She whispered, and at the same time threw out the zipline to smash the surveillance camera. At the moment the screen shattered, she saw the figure of Mizunashi Rena flash by, with the sniper rifle in her hand aimed at the helicopter pilot.

When the explosion sounded, Kudo Yuki rushed out of the tunnel holding Conan.

In the morning light, Kuroda Hei's helicopter was flying over from the other side of the mountain. Matsuda Jinpei stood at the hatch and waved, shaking the memory card he had snatched from the terminal in his hand.

Conan leaned on her shoulder, the gear watch finally resumed turning, and whispered in her ear: "Sis, you knew it was a trap, right?"

Kudo Yuki looked at the gradually dissipating smoke and stroked Shushu's trembling head with her fingertips: "Because there was an extra period at the end of the anonymous text message that shouldn't have been there."

She turned her head to look at Mizunashi Rena in the distance, who was turning and disappearing into the woods, leaving behind an almost invisible nod.

Kudo Yuki's phone vibrated twice. The moment the screen lit up, the unlock interface appeared, and an encrypted text message appeared in the dialog box:

The results have been collected. The CIA and FBI jointly acted to destroy all the human laboratories on the US side, and the relevant personnel have been controlled. The agents are about to return, and the island battlefield will soon receive support. Stay alert and contact us if there are any changes. - Rena Mizunashi

Kudo Yuki put away her phone and remained silent.

Shushu jumped out of his pocket, holding a USB flash drive with shiny gears in his chubby paws. "Xiaoxue! I secretly backed up the data in the hidden terminal!"

The system announcement sounded: "Congratulations to Xiaoxue for completing the side quest and obtaining the system background upgrade to 75%."

As the morning light gradually brightened, the snow-capped mountains of Nagano Prefecture glowed silver in the morning sun.

Kudo Yuki stuffed Rat back into her pocket and held Conan's hot hand - no matter how many traps lie ahead, they will eventually tear apart the darkness and let the truth see the light of day.

Kuroda looked towards the gradually brightening sky in the east, and there was a rare hint of warmth in his voice: "Collect the team and return to the hotel. The dawn of Nagano has finally arrived."

Back at the Nagano Star Hotel, Kudo Yuki gently placed the sleepy Conan on the bed and tucked in the quilt for him.

Conan's cheeks were still flushed with a sickly color, and the hot gear watch on her wrist had been taken off and placed on the bedside table.

Shushu poked his head out of her pocket, his chubby paws holding the backup gear USB drive: "Xiaoxue, there are a lot of encrypted files in this data, I feel like there's a big secret!"

Kudo Yuki rubbed her temple tiredly, her fingertips stroking the lines on the edge of the gear USB drive, and whispered, "Put it in your pocket first, and analyze it after Conan wakes up."

Shushu's chubby little paw patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, Xiaoxue! With me here, those encrypted files will definitely not be a problem for us!"

Kudo Xue smiled lightly and reached out to poke Shu Shu's little head gently: "You are the only one who talks big, so don't let me down when the time comes."

She walked to the window, opened the curtains, looked at the gradually bustling streets, and murmured to herself: "How much more trouble will be waiting for us next..."

Kudo Yuki took out two tubes of healing potion from the system space, drank one tube herself, walked to the bed, opened the other tube and applied it on Conan's forehead.

As the healing potion took effect, Conan's breathing gradually stabilized.

Kudo Yuki sat on the edge of the bed, stroking the gear USB drive with her fingertips. The texture of the metal edge left a shallow indentation on her palm.

The slanting sunlight from the window cast a shadow on her face, and the smell of gunpowder was still faint.

"Sister..." Conan's voice suddenly came from behind him, hoarse from just waking up.

When Kudo Yuki turned around, she saw Conan standing up, his hair hanging messily in front of his forehead, but his eyes behind the glasses were still sharp, "Have you analyzed the data?"

"We'll be together when you wake up." Kudo Yuki handed him the cup of water. She watched his Adam's apple roll as he tilted his head back to drink the water. Suddenly, she remembered how he had been forcing himself to turn the gear clock in the mine. She felt a slight pain in her heart. "How are you?"

Conan shook his wrist and rubbed the gear watch with his fingertips: "It's seriously worn out. I need to ask the doctor to adjust it."

Shushu anxiously slapped the USB drive: "The secret of the transportation chain is here!"

Kudo Yuki inserted the USB drive into the computer, and the blue-purple interface of the encrypted file lit up.

At the far end of the alley, three black cars were heading this way.

When Conan came over, he still had a faint smell of medicine on him. He pushed his glasses up and tapped quickly on the keyboard: "These files use the same triple encryption algorithm as Rum's office, but..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of glass breaking was heard downstairs.

He paused suddenly, his eyes fixed on a folder icon. "This naming format - 'ES Amber-0724', is exactly the same as the production date of the gas canisters we found in the mine!"

The moment the mouse was double-clicked, the screen was filled with data pouring down like a waterfall, and at this moment, the muffled sound of a heavy object hitting the door was heard.

Kudo Yuki's pupils suddenly shrank - it was a list that was so detailed that it was frightening. It not only marked the transportation transit stations around the world, but also listed the names of dozens of political and business leaders, with crow symbols next to their portraits.

"This is..." Conan's voice tightened, "The Karasuma Group has penetrated the global network of contacts. They are not only developing banned drugs and weapons through the transportation chain, but also..."

"Political bargaining chips," Kudo Yuki added, her fingertips running over a familiar name, a diplomat who has appeared frequently at international conferences recently. "These people are like chess pieces on a chessboard, and the transportation chain is the hand pulling the strings."

She suddenly remembered what Kuroda Heiwei often said - the truth is like a puzzle. The seemingly scattered pieces will always fit together perfectly at some point.

Shushu suddenly pointed his paw at the lower right corner of the screen: "Wait! This hidden folder! The name is garbled, but the file size..." Its voice suddenly rose, "A full 100G!"

Just as Conan was about to take action, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Kudo Yuki signaled him to be silent and reached for the flying rope at her waist. Outside the cat's eye, Kuroda Heibei's figure was as steady as a mountain, and beside him stood Zhu Fu Gao Ming with a solemn expression.

Kuroda Bei pushed open the door, and the smell of gunpowder rushed into the room. The bandage on his shoulder was oozing dark red blood, but he was unaware of it, just staring at the encrypted data jumping on the screen.

“Kudo, evacuate immediately.” His voice was hoarse, as if he had just been through a fierce battle. “The remnants of Nagano Trade are gathering, and their target is this hotel.”

Conan clutched the USB drive anxiously: "Manager Kuroda, this data is related to the transportation chain of the Karasuma Group..."

"Being alive is more important than data." Kuroda suddenly raised his hand, and pressed his rough palm heavily on Conan's shoulder. The eyes behind the glasses were rarely gentle, "Now make sure you are safe."

"Zhuofu, take them through the fire escape." Kuroda unbuttoned his collar, revealing half of his tactical vest. "Ida and I will cover their retreat."

The moment Kudo Yuki grabbed her coat, Shushu suddenly got under her collar and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xiaoxue! The 100G folder is being automatically encrypted and destroyed. The countdown is... 1 minute and 30 seconds!"

"Conan, start the interference program!" Kudo Yuki pushed the computer towards the boy and rushed to the window.

On the street downstairs, several black cars were approaching, and the crow logo on the roof was shining coldly in the sun. She threw out the zipline and wrapped it around the drainpipe of the building opposite, then turned to look at Conan who was still typing on the keyboard, "Hurry!"

Conan's forehead was covered with sweat, and the sound of the gear watch turning became more and more rapid.

Just when the file was about to disappear completely, he suddenly pulled out the hard drive, with smoke coming out of the metal interface: "Backup is 87% successful!"

"That's enough." Kudo Yuki grabbed his wrist and flipped out the window, the zipline drawing a silver arc in the air. There was a sound of glass bursting behind her, and the bullet flew past her hair and hit the wall, splashing sparks.

Shushu shook violently in her arms: "There is a pick-up vehicle in the southwest, arranged by Mizunashi Reina!"

The emergency lights in the fire escape stretched Zhu Fu Gao Ming's shadow very long. Kudo Xue finally looked back and saw the computer screen filled with data, then turned around and rushed into the night filled with the smell of gunpowder.

When they got into the black sedan, Kudo Yuki saw the figure of Kuroda Heibei shooting in the rearview mirror, and the tactical flashlights of Date Kou and Matsuda Jinpei cast a cold light in the smoke.

"It's a car arranged by the CIA." The text message that Kuroda sent before his evacuation suddenly flashed through her mind, and Kudo Yuki then noticed the familiar profile of the driver's seat - Mizunashi Rena pursed her lips tightly, controlling the steering wheel, and there were still scratches on her neck from the fight not long ago.

Conan held the hot hard drive tightly in his palm and turned to look at her. The look behind the lens was sharp and determined: "Sister Xue, this time we got the real trump card."

The black car drove smoothly on the winding mountain road. Mizunashi Rena looked at Kudo Yuki through the rearview mirror and nodded slightly. After confirming that they had temporarily escaped the pursuit, her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

Conan leaned back in his chair, panting slightly, with beads of sweat still hanging on his forehead. He touched the hot gear watch and smiled bitterly, "I really broke it this time."

Kudo Yuki looked at Conan's slightly tired but still resolute face, reached out and gently rubbed his hair, and teased: "Don't be so desperate next time, otherwise Xiaolan will come to settle the score with me."

Conan's cheeks flushed slightly when he heard this, and he muttered: "I'm just trying to catch those bad guys..."

Shushu poked his little head out from Kudo Yuki's collar: "I'm starving! Xiaoxue, when it's safe, I'm going to eat pine nuts until I'm full!"

The corners of Kudo Yuki's lips slightly raised, a smile flashed in her eyes, and the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated in this relaxed conversation.

But this brief tranquility is just the calm before the storm, and greater challenges are still waiting for them ahead.

Kudo Yuki took out her cell phone and gave Noah's Ark a text message:

Copy all the data on the USB drive and keep them in isolation. Don’t worry if the original data is destroyed.

Noah's Ark appears on the mobile phone interface and starts working.

Kudo Yuki picked up Conan's phone and called Dr. Agasa: "Doctor, it's me. There will be trouble in the hotel. Take them home first and protect Ai."

Dr. Agasa responded hastily from the other end of the phone: "I understand. You have to be careful too!"

The moment she hung up the phone, Kudo Yuki felt the phone getting slightly hot in her palm, as if foreshadowing that the situation would become increasingly tense.

Outside the car window, the streets of Nagano twisted into a strange vortex, and the incompletely analyzed data was like a time bomb, pushing the situation into the abyss.

The black sedan sped along the winding mountain road, the roar of its engine intertwined with the sound of its wheels rolling over gravel.

Kudo Yuki stuffed the hard drive into her pocket and her fingertips touched Shushu's furry back - it was trembling slightly with nervousness.

In the rearview mirror, the headlights of three pursuit cars lit up like scarlet eyes at the second bend, getting closer and closer.

"Sister Xue! The leader has modified the engine and the speed has increased by 20%!" Conan's voice was tense, and the gear watch on his wrist was spinning rapidly, making a unique mechanical hum.

Kudo Yuki stared at the tense profile of Mizunashi Rena, who was holding the steering wheel but still calmly maneuvering between the curves.

She suddenly remembered what Rena Mizunashi once said, "If you stay in the dark for too long, even your breathing will become cautious." At this moment, every turn this woman made was like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Shushu yelled, "Xiaoxue! The car's GPS shows that there are three tracker signals approaching."

Kudo Yuki looked back, thought about it, and said silently in her heart: [Sign in.]

"Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for signing in successfully today. She received 300 mall points and six broken-axle triangular spikes.

The current mall points are 7400, and the system space contains: healing elixir, winery status information, winery base location distribution map, broken axle triangular thorn. Please continue to sign in daily, Xiaoxue. "

The system announcement sounded: "The broken axle triangular spikes can slow down the tires."

Kudo Yuki stroked the metal shell of the broken triangular spike.

The cold and hard touch instantly gave her an idea.

Turning his head to look at the tense profile of Mizunashi Rena in the driver's seat, "Can you drive the car into the winding mountain road ahead? There are many bends there, which is suitable for using some small props."

Rena Mizunoshi didn't ask any questions and immediately turned the steering wheel, and the black sedan drew a sharp arc on the asphalt road.

Conan hid the hard drive in a special interlayer, and the gear meter started to move again. This time, he deliberately made a regular sound to interfere with the tracker signal. "Sister Xue, the distance between the three cars behind is shrinking. The leading car has a modified engine and its speed has increased by 20%. But if they keep this pace, their GPS positioning error will expand to more than 50 meters."

A strong wind suddenly blew up in the mountains, and the gravel hit the car windows with a loud noise.

Kudo Yuki rolled down the car window. The biting wind instantly ruffled her hair, but it made her mind clear.

Shushu poked his little head out from Kudo Yuki's collar and pointed his chubby paw at the rearview mirror: "SUV on the left! Electromagnetic jammer!"

She gripped the broken three-edged spike tightly, and the coldness of the metal shell spread along her palm - this was her only chance.

"Three, two, one!" With a low shout, Kudo Yuki leaned out against the strong wind, and the world in front of her was distorted into blurred blocks of colors as she moved forward.

The moment the broken axle's triangular spike slipped out of his hand, the sound of a tire bursting tore through the air, the body of the car spun uncontrollably, and the out-of-control SUV crashed towards the guardrail.
