Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1323 The Source of the Loss

Yuya subconsciously patted himself down, but found nothing.

"What's wrong?" Shiho Miyano asked, puzzled, when she saw his actions.

Yu also mentioned the static on her phone, suspecting that someone had planted a bug, but she couldn't find it.

At this point, Conan also mentioned that the tracking glasses had malfunctioned.

“No,” Shiho Miyano said, “it should be the loss of control that just happened at the hospital that caused the electronic products to malfunction.”

Yuya suddenly realized what was going on. Because she had never encountered this before, even though she knew this knowledge point, Yuya did not react immediately.

Based on his past experience, he subconsciously assumed there was a listening device.

"So," Conan asked, puzzled, "what exactly is 'missing overtake'?"

Yu also explained the principle behind the loss of overtaking phenomenon.

Conan understood, but he immediately said anxiously, "What should we do? If the tracking glasses break, we won't be able to track the signal!"

“Oh, right,” he suddenly remembered something and looked at Yuya, “I remember you always carry a spare pair of glasses with you, right?”

Yuya said, "I put it in a locker. Call Ran and ask her for help."

Before the medical examination, I was not allowed to bring any metal objects with me, so I put everything except my phone in the locker.

He usually doesn't put frequently used items in the system space, otherwise it would be bad if someone noticed something was wrong when he took them, especially Conan, who has a keen eye for observation.

Conan nodded and quickly dialed Ran Mouri's number, turning on speakerphone so that Yuya could communicate with her more easily.

Ran Mouri stopped and immediately ran to the locker, but then ran into a problem: "But I don't have the key..."

Conan subconsciously looked at Yuya.

Yu called out from the side, "Ran, is anyone next to you?"

Ran Mouri looked around and said, "I'm all alone."

Yuya's lips curled slightly: "That's easy. The hospital's temporary lockers are the basic kind. Just grab any card and do it this way or that way."

Ran Mouri considered the special circumstances, and since the locker she was about to open belonged to Yuya, she opened her own locker, took out a card from her wallet, and began to follow Yuya's instructions.

···

Meanwhile, Sera Masumi and Sera Mari, who were also in pursuit, stopped at a fork in the road.

Sera Masumi frowned: "Which way did you take?" The fork in the road in front of them led in two different directions, and it would be troublesome to catch up if they took the wrong one.

Just then, a red car drove past them, heading down the road on the left.

Sera Mary's eyes narrowed, and she quickly reminded her, "Follow that red car?"

Sera Masumi was stunned: "Why?"

Sera Mary urged, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and chase after them!" Has her daughter gone mad from being a detective? When faced with a situation, instead of acting immediately, she asks why?

Although Sera Masumi was puzzled, she didn't slow down her actions much and pulled the accelerator to catch up.

Shuichi Akai followed the route, weaving through the traffic, when he suddenly saw a motorcycle chasing after him in his rearview mirror.

His already narrowed eyes narrowed even more; it was those two people from before.

That motorcycle, and that helmet... could it be...?

He stepped on the gas, and the car's speed soared, quickly overtaking the cars in front of him.

Sera Masumi followed closely behind and asked, "Mom, who's that?"

Because Shuichi Akai's car had privacy film on it, she couldn't see who was inside, but she did recognize that it was the same car she had almost hit in the parking lot.

Sera Marie didn't answer, she just told her to stay close.

"I see!"

Seeing the red car begin to accelerate, Sera Masumi also increased her speed, relentlessly chasing after the red car.

At the same time, Ran Mouri finally opened the locker and found the spare tracking glasses that Yuya was carrying.

Ran Mouri looked at the electronic map and carefully examined it. "The signal has entered the main island... Ah, it's turning south from the East China Sea exit. That's fast. It must be in the car, right?"

Just as Yuya was about to tell Shuichi Akai the news, the latter spoke up first: "I know, it's the Tokai United Corporation direction, right?"

Shuichi Akai slammed on the gas, turned the steering wheel, and exited the highway in the direction Ran Mouri had indicated.

Sera Masumi remained stubbornly close behind.

Just then, Conan heard a lot of noise coming from Ran's side and couldn't help but ask, "Ran, what's going on over there? It's so noisy?"

Ran Mouri looked around and whispered, "I just heard the medical staff talking about an MRI room. I wonder what happened there."

Upon hearing this, Shiho Miyano said, "If I'm not mistaken, the source of the hysteresis is the MRI room. Hysteresis can damage electronic equipment, which is why Conan's glasses malfunctioned. However, the spare glasses were kept in the locker and were preserved thanks to the metal insulation."

Conan asked worriedly, "The MRI room? The source of the hysteresis should be there, right? Is there any danger?"

Shiho Miyano shook her head: "The overshoot has stopped, everything will be fine."

Conan felt relieved and said into the microphone, "Ran, can we go and take a look?"

"Okay, I understand." Ran Mouri nodded. She rarely had any help with Conan, but she followed the medical staff into the MRI room without hesitation.

Inside the room, a medical worker squatted in front of an IV drip station, looking frustrated: "That's strange, there shouldn't be an IV drip station in the MRI room, right?" Not only was there an IV drip station, but there was also a mobile iron bed stuck inside the MRI machine.

Another medical worker conducting the examination added, "And someone pressed the emergency stop button."

The security personnel who followed were puzzled: "What's going on?"

Medical staff speculated, "I think it's because the metal hospital bed was close to the superconducting magnet of the MRI machine, and someone pressed the emergency stop button in a panic, which caused the loss of superconductivity."

Upon hearing this, Shiho Miyano said, "If the emergency button is pressed, shouldn't all the pipes in the hospital be shut off?"

Ran Mouri quickly relayed these words.

The medical staff looked at Ran Mouri in surprise, their faces full of doubt: "Yes, if there is smoke in the hospital, the ducts will be sealed immediately, and only the ventilation ducts leading to the outside will be opened. Why did something like that happen?"

The entire second floor was just filled with white smoke, and those who didn't leave in time were knocked down.

Suddenly, the medical staff remembered something and rushed to the control room, with the others following closely behind.

The medical staff checked on the computer and quickly found the problem: "Why is this happening? The pipes leading to the second floor are open, but the exhaust system is set to full speed!"

Upon hearing this, Yu suddenly realized: "I see. No wonder only the second floor was filled with smoke. Someone did this on purpose. However, since the exhaust system was turned on and set to full speed, it was probably unintentional."

Conan said gravely, "Like the previous two cases, is the perpetrator's goal simply kidnapping? If so, then Mr. John should be dumped in a very conspicuous place, right?"

Yuya nodded slightly.

The perpetrator genuinely had no intention of killing.

Because their target was never the three people who were kidnapped.
