99 Days Solving Cases with Detective Conan

Beika City has been buzzing lately: security footage at a jewelry store captured an invisible person stealing diamonds, the scene of an orphanage fire yielded only a charred corpse that belongs to no one, and even the Detective Boys' game of hide-and-seek has gained a child who can never be caught.

"Someone is testing us with these cases." Chen Lu, who transmigrated to the world of Detective Conan, strokes his chin as he studies seven profiling reports. The culprit's age, occupation, even childhood trauma, all point to the same vague outline. "And the point of the test is to draw us into the game."

Conan's bow tie voice changer suddenly rings. He holds up the miniature listening device he found in the charred corpse's pocket. This frequency is the same one used in Gin's deal three years ago.

As the mysteries of individual cases link together into a vast web, and deductions from "mind reading" collide with physical evidence, Chen Lu finally writes in his latest profiling notebook: The ultimate opponent isn't a single criminal, but an organization that wants to turn every detective into a chess piece.
