Chapter 97 The Brave Gangster

Am I being robbed again?
While Xia He was complaining in his heart that there was nothing to grab on the bus, he began to recall the relevant plot.

At the same time, Haibara Ai, who was sitting next to him, was already trembling with fear.

“What’s wrong with you?” Xia He asked in a low voice.

“There’s… there’s the smell of those guys…”

“odor?”

He immediately realized that what Haibara Ai was talking about was the “smell of alcohol.”

That is the smell emanating from the members of the Black Organization.

Of course, Xia He definitely couldn’t smell it.

“In other words, are there people from the winery on this bus?”

He muttered to himself, and then turned his gaze to Aida Tomoaki in the front seat.

That’s it!

That’s what feelings are like.

Recalling every detail of the bus “robbery”, Xia He reached out and put the hood on Huiyuan Ai’s back, and patted her head gently, saying: “Don’t worry, I’m here, don’t be afraid.”

“Yeah.” Huibara Ai replied weakly.

Although he was still very scared inside, after hearing Xia He’s words, he didn’t tremble as violently as before.

“Hey, everyone, hand over your phones. If anyone dares to resist…”

boom!
One of the gangsters shot the roof of the bus without saying a word.

“what!”

Almost all the women in the car, except Haibara Ai and Judy, screamed.

Seeing this, the criminal laughed with great satisfaction, “If you don’t want to die, just do as I say!”

Upon hearing this, the passengers took out their cell phones.

“Take off your phone and watch and throw them into this bag.”

……

“Is the purpose of these guys really just to rob?” Conan, who was sitting alone behind Xia He, now looked outside the car.

The speed has obviously dropped…

And looking at the route, it seems like it’s going to circle around the city?
Could it be that their purpose was not to rob money, but to take the passengers in the car as hostages?

Thinking of this, he first hid the earring-shaped phone that the doctor had made for him some time ago inside his clothes, and then threw the smartphone into the bag handed to him by the gangster.

Not long after.

After the criminals collected the phone and walked back behind the driver, Conan stood up and whispered in Xia He’s ear: “Xia He, I doubt these two people are here to rob.”

“Yeah, I see.” Xia He responded without turning his head.

“Are you sure you can take them both down?”

“Yes, there were, but they were too far apart. I’m not sure if the second guy would shoot and injure the passengers when he knocked down the first guy. Besides… do you really think they were the only two criminals?”

As soon as the words fell, Conan immediately understood what Xia He meant – those two guys had accomplices!
Yes, if it was him who hijacked the bus, he wouldn’t be so unprepared.

He would always place at least one accomplice among the passengers in order to control the situation.

But if that’s the case, the situation will be troublesome.

As expected, under the threat of the criminals, the bus driver contacted the passenger station.

“Calling the main station, I… I’m Xiaolin from car W707…”

The criminal grabbed the intercom and said, “We have hijacked your company’s bus. I have only one request. Immediately release Kunio Yajima who is currently in prison. Otherwise, we will shoot a passenger every hour. If you understand, tell the police immediately!”

“Yajima Kunio…” Conan frowned again when he heard this in the back seat.

He wondered, wasn’t this the same criminal who had robbed a jewelry store with a homemade bomb last month?
At that time, the police only arrested Kunio Yajima, while the other three accomplices who acted with him are still at large.

From this perspective, he could probably guess what was going on.

“If I remember correctly, the man named Yajima Kunio was a jewel broker before. It seems that most of his companions have no knowledge of jewelry, so they don’t know how to sell the stolen goods after the robbery, so they came up with such a method.” Conan whispered to Xia He again.

“It’s possible that only Yajima Kunio knows where the jewelry is hidden?” Xia He replied.

But no matter what the situation was, the fact that they dared to take two FBI agents and a winery member hostage… we can only say that these two criminals are indeed very courageous.

“Please keep an eye on this for me. I need to call and report the situation here to Officer Megure.”

While the two criminals were looking forward, Conan quickly took out the earring-shaped mobile phone that he had hidden in his clothes. However, he was caught by the criminals just after he pressed two numbers.

“what are you doing?”

The other party grabbed Conan by the collar and threw him to the ground.

When Xia He saw this, he reacted extremely quickly and grabbed Conan’s ankle, lifted him up, and then held him in his arms.

“I’m sorry, the child is ignorant. I will discipline him well and hope you can forgive me.” Xia He apologized to the gangster in a very kind manner.

“If this brat dares to act rashly again, it won’t be as simple as it is now.”

The gangster snorted coldly, then picked up the earring phone that had fallen to the ground, turned around and walked back to the front of the car.

Conan took the opportunity to sit down between Xia He and Haibara Ai.

“Sure enough, he was discovered by his accomplices…” he said.

As he said this, he turned around and looked at the seat behind him.

According to the angle just now, only the three passengers sitting in the last row could have seen him dialing the number.

One is an elderly man wearing a hearing aid.

One is a young woman chewing gum.

Another one is Shuichi Akai.

Choose one of three…

So, who is with them?
He began to think.

the other side.

Xia He knew very well who the criminal’s accomplices were.

Once the woman chewing gum blows bubbles from her mouth, it means that a passenger is doing something naughty.

The two gangsters saw this information through the rearview mirror and determined the woman’s location by the way she tore off the chewing gum that had burst on her cheek – when she tore off the gum with her right hand, the troublemaker was on her right side, and when she tore off the gum with her left hand, the troublemaker was on her left side.

Then pay a little more attention and you will find the exact location.

This is also the reason why Conan was immediately caught by the two criminals as soon as he took out his phone.

“If you don’t want to get hurt, I advise you not to act rashly for the time being.” Xia He reminded Conan again, “Also, I feel that the two bags containing the skis should contain bombs.”

Conan: ∑(っ°Д°;)っ

……

“I’m Officer Sato. The bus hijacked by the robbers is currently heading towards Takaido at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour.”

In a red car following closely behind the bus, Sato Miwako was reporting information to Megure Juzo.

At the same time, a young man sitting in the passenger seat next to her was holding a cigarette and using the map on his mobile phone to check the places the vehicle would pass by.

“Hello, I’m from the mobile team. What’s my name?” After hanging up the phone, Sato Miwako suddenly asked.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Jinpei Matsuda. Thank you for your guidance.”
