While the Detective Conan crew will still be a part of this arc, this chapter is going to focus more on this arc's guest hero, Kuro, as you get to see what has become of him after being abducted and underwent a series of "inhumane" surgeries, which I assume you already know what the outcome would be for our poor kitty cat...
The Next morning, the scene shifts to the one-story house where Kuro was last seen, and the door opened where two elderly people, a husband a wife, emerged, and are having a very good morning as they treat themselves with morning tea and basking on the morning sunlight, feeling that today is a brand new day. However, they seem to notice that something, if not someone, is missing as they note that the front yard is devoid of someone who has become a part of their family.
"Kuro...here is your milk..."
"Funny...he usually is here in our doorstep..."
"Maybe he's taken a stroll..."
"Must be..."
"Oh well...might as well leave the milk here..."
"Yeah...he'll be back..."
"Let's go take our breakfast..."
"Right..."
The elderly man and woman have no idea that their adoptive pet cat, Kuro, has been kidnapped yet they assume that Kuro is somewhere and is going to return to them like he usually do, unaware of the fate that has befallen on their pet cat.

123: Jūgeki-sen, Kagaku-sha, Saibōgu Neko part 2
At the laboratory, Dr. Mantaro Go is grinning as he opened a projection light and it shows that several persons are posted there, and the scientist is grinning maniacally as he has something devious on his mind and you can tel that he is egging on getting some payback at the targeted persons claiming that they humiliated him several years, which suggested that he knows them from his heydays.
"Now...the first step to my plans...revenge...yes, revenge...now I will get to make them pay for humiliating me way back...and now I have the means to do so..."
As the mad scientist is preparing to make arrangements for a preemptive strike, a silhouette slowly showed up from the surgery room and Dr. Go laughed diabolically as his "masterpiece" is an initial success and now he is ready to test it out on his eventual targets. He is rubbing his hands as his "mission of vengeance" is now just hours from becoming a reality as he showed his creation the targets that were displayed from the projection as he gives instructions on what to do next. The scene slowly fades as you can hear Dr. Go making another sound of diabolical laughter.
"Now you know my targets...now go and make them see Hell! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Later that night, the time now is 20:00, where a scene zoomed at a 20-story building somewhere within Tokyo's business capital and you can see some light at the upper floors of the building, and the scene revealed that a party is taking place as members of the Board of Education are having a celebration party where its chairman is celebrating his birthday, and the party is merry enough as its members, about eight of them, are binging on food and drinks, which included alcoholic beverages.
"Now this is what we call a private party!"
"Yeah...just us adults!"
"And no one to interrupt us!"
"Food and champagne!"
"How come we can't rent bar girls!"
"We can't! We're representing the Board of Education! We get caught like this...we'll be scandalized!"
"Never mind that..just enjoy the party!"
"Sky's the limit!"
Throughout the party, everyone didn't seem to mind the time as three hours have passed yet some of them are still partying and enjoying themselves as they began discussing a topic, in which they recall how they humiliated a college student from years before they dismissed his thesis project that led to the student's failure to graduate, and even mocked him indiscriminately because of the college student's rather "ridiculous" project while they laughed at him.
"This reminds me..."
"Huh?"
"I remember we ridiculed a student in front of an audience and made him look bad..."
"Yeah...I remember that..."
"And he was so embarrassed..."
"Enough for us to flunk him..."
"Imagine...a project proposal that's even impossible to pull off..."
"Good for him...he's probably a homeless bum now...ha-ha-ha-ha..."
As the discussion and laughter continued, it soon became evident that the college student they are talking about is none other than Mantari Go, and they are assuming that he is living in misery because he failed a subject and is unable to graduate, he couldn't get a diploma and a degree, and even learned that after the humiliation, he did not return to college to complete his remaining subject, and assumed that he has faded in to obscurity and is now living in poverty.
"I sure want to see what that Go guy looked like...living in misery..."
"Yeah...I really wanted to make him look like an idiot in front of the public..."
"I'm surprised he didn't report us to the Commission of Human rights..."
"What's he to report us for? He couldn't come up with an alibi to charge us..."
"I say we forget about him...he can't do anything to us now..."
"He's right..."
"Let's enjoy..."
"I hope we get to flunk another student..."
However, the Board of Education is unaware that danger is now coming their way, as Dr. Go has sent his assassin to infiltrate the building, thus revealing that the Board of Education is indeed Go's target. The scene then shows that at the lower floors, several guards are assembled after a guard from the ground floor informed them that he saw a stray cat got in and is unable to find it. While the other guards are about to dismiss it as a mere "false alarm", they relented when told that the cat might use the walls and other furniture as "scratching posts" and may cause the employees to go "ballistic".
"A stray cat...?"
"Yeah..."
"So what?"
"He won't do anything to us..."
"Let's just ignore it..."
"We can't!"
"Why?"
"Imagine...if that cat urinated or worse...it'll stench the building..."
"Is that what you're worrying about?"
"More than that...that cat might use the furniture as scratching posts...one scratch and we'll have our hide for this!"
"Geez..."
"Fine..."
"We'll find this cat..."
"So much for slacking off..."
The guards split up in pairs as they spread throughout the rest of the floors to find the "intruder", which proved to be difficult as each of the 19 floors are wide and it would take more than 30 minutes for them to find the "intruder", though they are at least relieved that no scratches are found on the walls nor on the office equipments, which is enough for them not to get worried and earn the employees' wrath, so they continued the search and hope that they found the stray cat and get rid of the animal.
"Anything?"
"Nope."
"Nothing..."
"Thank goodness..."
"Can we rest?"
"No!"
However, everyone inside the building were taken by surprise as the lights went out, and surprisingly, even the back-up generators did not activate nor is working, thus plunging the building into total darkness, which made the guards irritated, and for the partying guests to get spooked and worried, slightly rousing them from their semi-drunken stupor, though the chairman assured to them that there is nothing to worry and that the generators will kick up within a minute.
"What the...?"
"The lights went out!"
"Did our employers forget to pay the electric bills...?"
"This is not funny!"
"Relax...the generators will kick in for sure..."
"I hope so..."
"Open your flashlights and resume the search!"
"Okay..."
However, the scene shows that the engine room of the building is forcibly open, and the wiring of the building's electric appliance that gives power to the buildings were ripped off, and even the back-up generators were not spared as it was also damaged. Two guards came and made the discovery, and alerted their fellow guards that an intruder is here, and made it clear that it is not a mere cat.
"We got a breach! The electrical system's damage...and it was intentional!"
"What?"
"I don't think this is a work of a cat! We got an intruder in the building!"
"Alert the other guards!"
"Search the floors!"
"Someone inform the guests!"
-x-
""
Back at the 20th floor, the Board of Education members were too disturbed by this and opted to go out so they used a flashlight to head for the door and take the stairs, but then the door opened and they are rather taken aback when they are greeted by what appeared to be a stray cat, but as they pointed the flashlight at it, their drunken stupor slowly faded when they saw that the cat was "metallic" and revealed that it was not a real cat but a "robotic" one.
"Eh?"
"Am I drunk?"
"Did someone sent a mascot...?"
"Is it me or this guy's...metallic...?"
"Is just a cat..."
"A cat...?"
"Yeah...huh?"
By then, the cat stood on its two legs like a normal person does and revealed its weapon: a rounded gattling gun attached on its right forearm, and they slowly realized that the weapon is real, and they slowly stepped back in fear, wondering if they are seeing things believing that they are hallucinating due to their drunkness as the cat stepped forward while aiming its weapon at them.
"Hey..."
"That gun's for real!"
"I think I'm overly-drunk..."
"This isn't funny..."
"Is it me or did that cat walked on two feet?"
"Somebody tell me this is a prank..."
"I think I'm going to vomit..."
However, they were not given time to react further as the "robotic cat" opened fire, shooting at the members of the Board of Education on sight, riddling their bodies with bullets, killing them on the spot, and kept on firing at them even as they drop dead on the floor, while the chairman hid behind a table and is trembling in fear as the gunfire slowly ceased, and he wondered who would create a robotic cat and sent it here to kill him and his associates.
"What the heck is that thing...? Why is it after us...?"
The chairman then slowly recalled the then-college student whose thesis he and the board members turn down and realized who is behind this – Mantari Go! He is now sure that the then-college student whom they turn down the thesis project, is the one who sent the robotic cat here and couldn't believe that Go actually made his science project a reality, and now all he need is to survive so he can report to the police what just happened.
"That...must be the college student that we flunk! I didn't realized that his project would become a reality! I got to get out of here and call the police!"
Unfortunately, the robotic cat opened fire at the table, and its bullets riddled through the thick wood structure and made its way through the chairman's body, killing him on the spot, and after making sure he is dead, the robotic cat fired at the glass panel windows and jumped out, falling downward, just as the guards arrived and they are horrified at the sight, and did not see who committed the brutal murders of the Board of Education members.
"Wwwaaaahhh!"
"We're too late!"
"Someone call an ambulance!"
"Find the killer!"
"Arm yourselves!"
"Is the back-up generator working?"
"Who could pull off something like this?"
"Just get going!"
Outside, the robotic cat landed on the ground floor on two legs, and doesn't appear to suffer any effects from jumping from a high area, and casually went through a bushy area and head towards a parked van that is waiting, and Dr. Go is clapping his hands after seeing that his creation was a success, and lauded him for "an excellent job well done", where the robotic cat is revealed to be Kuro – who has been converted into a cyborg cat.
"Well done, my creation...well done! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
After that, the van leaves the scene amid the crisis that the building is facing as the guards are calling the police, and it would be five minutes before the cops arrived, though Dr. Go is already gone from the scene of the crime, and thus the police are beginning a painstaking investigation as to who committed the murders, given that the guards had no idea who the culprit is.
-x-
Several minutes later, Dr. Go is driving the van while "praising" Kuro for his performance and in the midst of this they have just passed a neighborhood and saw several stray cats on the streets, most of them convening at the nearby playground area, and for Dr. Go, it was a good night for him as he knows what to do in seeing an "opportunity" that he can't pass up. He smirked deviously as he stopped the van and the backdoor opened as the "robo-cats" were sent out to abduct the stray cats.
"Go my mini-soldiers..take all the cats you can see!"
In a span of three minutes, the "robo-cats" abducted the stray cats and even ones who are sleeping on the front door of nearby houses, and loaded them inside cages and in to the van before speeding off despite the cats crying for help, and the streets is now devoid of cats. By this time, Kyuji and Ankh are passing by the scene and had no idea what just happened a while ago, and by then, some neighborhood kids came out after hearing the sounds of cats crying moments ago, and are now calling for their pet cats, which Kyuji is dumbfounded while their parents told their kids to go to sleep and look for their pet cats in the morning.
Ankh, on the other hand, pulled Kyuji and insisted that they go home as he wanted to rest and not get involved in "stray cats". By then they noticed that there were several collars laid on the ground, which shows that they were forcibly ripped off, and Kyuji decided to take them and have them examined for tomorrow.

Okay…Kuro hogs the spotlight for most of this chapter and showed his "brutal rebirth" while showcasing his cybernetic abilities, but this is because he is controlled by Dr. Go. Things would get a rather violent yet dramatic in the next chapters. Kyuji also shows up in the end, but rest assured he will get more screen time in the next chapters as well. The same goes for Ankh.
Preview:
As Kyuji and the DC crew look in to the "abducted cats" case, more cyborg cats are due to be shown as "agent-types" that will act as "foil" for our heroes…
