Early the next morning.

"......" Conan woke up from his sleep in a daze, only to find that Chiba was fully dressed and was about to go out at this time - I'm afraid that the reason why he woke up was precisely because Chiba accidentally made some noise. Chiba, what are you going to do? ”

"Huh?" Qian Yu turned her head and looked at him. "Well, did I wake you up? Go back to sleep, it's still early. ”

"What are you going to do?" Conan asked.

"Go see the movie theater," Qian Yu said lightly. "They should have started debugging by now."

"Debugging what—" Conan himself had already reflected when he asked this. "Oh, you're going to prepare for the live broadcast of the observation of the A fragment, right?"

"Yes," Chiba nodded. "According to the time, it should be around seven o'clock tomorrow morning, so everyone is getting ready."

Although the Pearl Tree airship was unable to observe the A fragment, it was still of great significance to them. Academics are divided over Shoemakerklevi's ability to traumatize Jupiter, with radicals believing that Sumeklevy can inflict a heavy blow on Jupiter, while conservatives believe that Jupiter will eat Sumerklevi as easily as a grape. And tomorrow's A fragments are the best way to prove this – if A fragments can create a large enough trauma on Jupiter, then they will become witnesses to history; But if the A fragment barely does any serious damage to a behemoth like Jupiter, then the radicals will be hit hard by reality, and the Pearltree airship, which is supported by the theories of the radicals, and the astronomical observation led by Jiroji Suzuki will become a laughing stock for the whole world.

Therefore, tomorrow's world-wide observation of the A fragment will in fact be the most important event for the Pearltree, because it will determine whether the Pearltree itself has the meaning of existence, and whether Suzuki Jiroji will be regarded as a rich wronged man by the whole world. It is for this reason that Pearltree is very concerned about the observation of Debris A around the world tomorrow, and will even broadcast the observations of Debris A from ground-based observatories in Africa in the cinema theater. For this live broadcast, the staff of the Tokyo Observatory are debugging the playback equipment and connection lines of the movie screening hall.

With that, Chiba left the room.

But in fact, for Qianyu, this matter is not the most important thing - he is not an astronomy enthusiast himself, so it doesn't matter to him whether these astronomical theoretical things are right or wrong.

The important point is that the Pearl Tree does not have the ability to directly receive the live broadcast signal - its signal receiving system is only for general call communication, and there is no preparation for the picture signal. Therefore, in order to obtain the observation results of the A debris in time, the Pearl Tree will arrive in New Zealand in the early morning of the 17th, and will resupply on the ground and wait for the results of the collision of the A debris. As soon as the results are available, the entire image data is sent to a decipherment machine already installed in New Zealand, where it is decoded and transmitted by wire to the Pearl Tree's closed-circuit screening system.

The point is that the Pearl Tree will dock in New Zealand, and it will be scheduled to dock at a predetermined port that has already been arranged. In other words, if the smugglers of methamphetamine did have a well-planned smuggling plan, they would have thought that they had everything under control – which meant that they might be able to ambush them all by setting up an ambush.

He had gone out so early to see the preparations in the movie hall, and to communicate with Officer Nakamori to make sure that all the messengers who had been hiding behind the scenes could be found through the drugs that had been discovered.

According to the plan, the airship will arrive in New Zealand in about 16-18 hours, and everything will be known at that time.

……

At 4:30 a.m. local time on July 17, New Zealand (3:30 p.m. GMT on July 16, about 3 hours and 30 minutes before the expected time for the A debris to hit Jupiter) Pearl Tree has arrived at the civil aviation base in Auckland as originally planned, and is methodically building a cable communication system and transporting logistics materials.

"Be careful!" The driver sitting on the crane told him to control the small crane to lift the garbage bags pulled out by the two staff members and be wrapped in the net, transfer them to the garbage transfer truck next to them, and throw them together with other garbage bags to form a small garbage mountain.

Immediately afterward, the driver looked at the garbage bag in the net pocket that appeared in front of him - this garbage bag was more special, because the bag actually had two layers of bags on the outside.

He didn't say anything, just glanced at the garbage mountain inside the garbage transfer cart, then hoisted the bag up, carefully hoisted the garbage bag onto the garbage transfer cart, and gently placed it in a completely opposite position to the previous garbage mountain, far away from it.

After touching the bottom of the loading hopper of the garbage transfer truck, the garbage bag made a hard impact sound and some subtle deformation - it seems that the collision when it landed on the loading hopper caused the contents of the garbage bag to collapse and deform the whole.

The moment this garbage bag was thrown onto the garbage transfer cart, the staff exchanged a subtle smile.

……

Thirty minutes later, inside an abandoned warehouse.

"That's it, isn't it?" The two drivers of the garbage transfer truck that was in charge of transporting garbage had changed their clothes at this time, and they were standing together next to the bag covered by two layers of nets that the crane driver placed alone in the corner of the garbage transfer truck, communicating.

"Probably, according to them, the bag that was covered by two layers of nets is the goods." The driver of the garbage transfer truck nodded and began to unpack the two layers of nets one by one. "Help me, dismantle these two nets quickly!"

At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise in the garbage bag, and a large amount of white smoke was immediately spewed out, enveloping the entire space near the garbage bag.

“！！！” Both drivers were taken aback at the same time.

"What's going on?" The driver said in a trembling voice.

"I don't know," the co-pilot shook his head. "I'm not an expert, but I don't think it's normal......"

At this moment, the white smoke appeared abnormally - a small cloud of white smoke separated from the original large cloud of white smoke and slowly moved in the direction of the two people.

"I think," said the white smoke. "We need to have a good talk, what do you think?"

As the smoke continued to be peeled out of the small ball, the muzzle of the black hole appeared in front of the two of them. "Don't move, I'm a cop."
