At The livingroom. The Major was telling her story. Ran and Sonoko was listining to the story. Conan had remember the case quiet well. This was after they came back from New York case with the Golden Apple. Normally the JSDFA whould send in the military police, but they wanted to keep the media out of it until they can find the culprit. So they send in the Metropolitian police to find out what happend.

At the scene Inspector Megure was looking at the victim. Takagi had his notebook reading the report to Megure.

"Kondo Maeda age 45," Takagi read. "Excutive at Kenbishi Heavy Industries Kanto Branch in Gunma. No known relatives in Japan."

Megure tured to the Major and the others. "So you were the only one that was near the tank at the time?"

"Yes," The Major said. "I hacked into the system to stop it."

"Do you have have any witnesses?" Takagi asked.

"Wait a minute" Bato snapped.

"Yeah," Shinichi came out. "I saw the whole thing"

"Shinichi," Megure looked at him. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh" Shinichi put his hand behind his head. "I was with Ran and we was waiting for her mother here"

"Well any who we to question everyone that was here" Megure said. Then Takagi had eveyine to follow him inside the airport. Meanwhile Shinichi stayed back to look around the place. Then He notice some footprints in the cargo area that lead up to the tank. Then he saw some of the cargo had been moved like someone was sitting there while the plane was in flight. Then forensics was at the sence.

"Hey did you notice that there was someone hiding here?" Shinichi asked.

"Yeah" The officer said as he was gathering edvidancefrom the scene. "But there was something odd."

"Like what?"

"Well, eventhough someone was here, We chouldn't find a single trace of DNA." The guy said. "Maybe it was an android."

Then Shinichi went to see what was going on with Takagi and Megure. Takagi was questioning them one by one. Megure was looking throught the window.

"So what's going on?" Shinchi asked.

"Well all of them said that they was nowhere near the tank at time nor before" Megure said. "All but one."

"The major, Right?" Shinichi said.

"Yeah, Major Motoko Kusanagi," Megure looked at his notebook. "she was the only one near the tank."

"I don't think it was her." Shinichi said.

"Why do you say that?" Megure asked

"I don't know" Shinichi said as he put his hands in his pockets. "It a feeling that i can't shake off"

Then someone dressed in a black trench coat came in to see Megure.

"Are you the commanding officer of this case?" Then man in the trench coat said. Megure turned around. The man was pale faceed and her had white hair. "My name is Makoto Isshiki of Cabinet Intelligence Service."

"Well I'm inspector Megure." Meugre said. "What is this about?"

"Well, since this incident happened, the cabnet wants to keep this a secret" Isshiki said. "We don't want this to get leeked to the media when the war is just started"

"So that you don't want the public to know about this incident, Right." Shinichi concluded.

"That's right, We already have problems with the current war right now. So We don't want this incident to jeporize our war effords."

Shinichi was looking at him. For somereason he didn't trust him. Like he somehow knew that this was going to happend...but how?...

(Present time: 2025)
Conan's cellphone rings. Everyone looks at Conan. Then Conan had excused himself to outside. The Major looked at him as he left the room.

"Ran, how did you meet Conan?" She asked still looking at Conan as he left the room.

"Oh, I've found him here." Ran said as she put her teacup down. "He was with Dr. Agasa in the library. It was right after Shinichi left overseas."

"Shinchi's gone?" The Major looked at her.

"Why you want to see Shinichi?" Sonoko asked. Then She glared at The Major. "I bet you fell in love with him, didn't you?"

"Sonoko." Ran said as she was blushing.

"No, that's ok" Major reassured them. "I need his help on a case that's all."

"A case?" Ran looked at her. "You don't mean with the Dividuals?"

"Are you working for the police?" Sonoko asked.

"Some what, yeah." Major said as she took another sip of her tea.

Meanwhile in the kitchen. Conan was on the phone with Ai. Ai had found something about the Dividuals.

Kudo-kun, I'd looked at the profile of each members of the Dividuals and I've found something odd.

What is It?" Conan Asked.

Hook you cellphone to you cyberbrain

Conan took the line from the cellphone to the back of his neck. Then Ai sent him some infomation and files on the members of the Dividuals.

Kudo-kun do you see the similarites on the members?

Yeah, each of them was either a soldier that served in the army, former police officer, or an HLF (Human Liberation Front)?

HLF What is that? Conan asked as he was acessing infomation.

The Human Liberation front, when Cyberization became commonplace after World War III, a grass roots movement appeared in the corners of the world. They preach a gospel against the onset of cyberization. They feared machines would take over…not from physical force, but by simply turning us into them Ai showed him some new articals on the HLF. They contacted the Nichiuri claiming that the Dividuals are just another group and they never heard of them.

I think someone has been pulling the strings somehow. Conan concluded. The Black Organization..it chould be related to Kir and Houndo?

Possible, but Kudo, it's not like them to cause all of this just ot find one person.

But why are people with cyberbrains are doing this? Cona thought.

Oh Before I forget, Dr. Agasa had made seomthing for you. So stop by later.

Sure, Conan disconnects the cellphone link to his cyberbrain. Then from a distance The major was watching him the whole time..Just Who is this kid?

Ishikawa, The Major had channled the cyberbrain. Do a background check on a kid named Conan Edogawa. Something about him that I can't put my finger on.

Yes ma'am

Meanwhile at the Kisaki law office. Everyone from Section 1 was there Shingo was late. Someone had gave a tip one whos exactly behind the events. At the offices meeting room. On the screen it showed a 35-year old American woman with brown hair.

"This is Nina tucker," Kisaki started off. "American national, she worked with the joint Suzuki/Serano Genomics in Niihama. She has a clean record up intill Poseidon found out about her being with the Human Liberation Front. Then they fired her on the spot. "

"You think that she had something to do with the recent incidents, Right" Kaji said as he had his arm over the head rest of the chair.

"Yes," Eri replyed. "Sources say that She had joined with the Dividuals as soon as she left"

"So why the Prime Minisster?" Sato asked.

"Later two nights from now " Kisaki infored them. "Prime Minster Kamina is about to put in a new act called act called Cyborg Anti-Discrimination Law along with the American Empire's Senator Juliet Douglas."

"So the security is going to be tight?" Shingo said knowing the answer to the question

Yes," Eri Nodded. "But this is a secret operation not even the superintentant knows about this"

"What?" Yumi along with everyone else looked at Eri. "But we don't know how she's going to attack."

"That's why we have to do this quietly and quickly" Eri said as sat down on her chair. "We don't want unessary attention drawn to us."

"So what now?' Takagi asked.

"Well, Sato you handle this operation. Shingo, You and Kaji watch Tucker's Armpartment. Check Her E-mail, and her outgoing mail." Eri ordered. "During the event, Chiba, you and Yumi check the perimeter for anything suspicous. Yumi I need you and the traffic officers and Traiffic androids to check each car within the perimeter. Takagi you will accompany Sato and check out the security in Beika Tower. Dismissed."

Then everyone left the Rommbut Shingo remained seated. Then Eri looked at him.

"Shingo, what wrong?" She asked.

"Oh nothing" Shingo got up and walked to the door. "by the way. I've heard that you know someone with a special expertize in cyber-hacking. Right?"

"Yeah, she use to be in the JSDF," Eri said gathering her papers. "She said that she was coming but she had to find somebody to help her on a case."

"I see" Shingo said leaving the room. "I'll call If I find something."
