Chapter 98 There is a bomb in the car!
Jinpei Matsuda, who had never joined the Criminal Investigation Division, met Sato Miwako for the first time today.

There was no love at first sight, nor any melodramatic drama. It was just because there had been a precedent for a jewelry robbery, and Date Kou considered that there might be a bomb on the bus, so he assigned Jinpei Matsuda, a bomb disposal expert, to be there just in case.

“Didn’t the criminals just say on the phone that once the police released Yajima Kunio, they would also release a few hostages first?”

Matsuda Jinpei pointed at the map and said, “I’ve thought about it carefully. If I were a criminal, I would probably ask the passengers to change into my clothes when passing through this tunnel, and then disguise myself as a passenger and get off the train with the released hostages…”

The tunnel he was referring to is called “Little Buddha Tunnel”. It is about five kilometers long. At the current speed of the bus, it will take at least six or seven minutes to drive through it.

Moreover, the light in the tunnel is very dim, and it is difficult for the surveillance camera to see the situation inside the car clearly.

It is indeed a perfect place for “dressing up”.

“Then should I notify Officer Megure and ask him to send a car to block the front of the tunnel?” asked Miwako Sato.

But Matsuda Jinpei said: “If we intercept them in advance, it might anger the criminals. I think we have to do it more naturally.”

“Be more natural?”

“It is to create a rear-end collision, so that the two cars stop in the middle of the road, and indirectly force the bus to stop.”

“Is this okay?”

“If I were to pretend to be the bus owner, even if I couldn’t subdue the criminals right away, I would probably be able to sneak into the bus.”

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

As soon as Sato Miwako said this, she was immediately rejected by Matsuda Jinpei, “You’d better not do that. This is a very dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you may lose your life…”

“Matsuda-kun.” Sato Miwako looked at him seriously, “I am also a police officer by profession. Do you think women will hold you back?”

“Not really, I never discriminate against women.” Upon hearing this, Jinpei Matsuda scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly.

He originally wanted to ask Yi Dahang to act in this play with him. After all, the two of them have been friends for many years, so there is no need to say much about their tacit understanding.

But since Sato Miwako insisted so much, he could only spread his hands and said, “Call Officer Megure now and ask him to make arrangements in advance.”

……

The scene switches back to the bus.

Just as Jinpei Matsuda had expected, the two gunmen actually found two men of similar size to themselves in the car, hoping to “hide the truth.”

“When we pass through the tunnel ahead, you, and you, put on our clothes, then sit down where you are, and don’t move rashly, okay? Oh, and you must wear your hat and goggles, too.”

As soon as the gangster finished speaking, Shuichi Akai and Tomoaki Shinide stood up one after another and walked obediently behind the bus driver.

Seeing this, Xia He couldn’t help but want to laugh.

I thought to myself, you are really good at picking, you immediately picked the two most capable fighters on the entire bus except me.

same moment.

Conan wrote in a small notebook and quietly asked teacher Judy who was sitting in the front seat for lipstick. He planned to wait until the bus entered the tunnel, write “STOP” on the bag containing the bomb, and use the rearview mirror to let the driver notice it so that he would step on the brakes. Then he would use inertia to shoot an anesthetic needle into the neck of one of the gangsters.

As for the remaining criminal…it would naturally be left to Xia He to deal with.

Although this plan seems very dangerous, it is actually not safe at all.

But what can be done?

After all, they can now be said to be completely desperate.

The two gangsters didn’t even wear masks from beginning to end, allowing their appearance to be exposed to everyone. It was obvious that they had no intention of leaving anyone alive.

Once they get off the bus disguised as hostages, they will immediately detonate the bomb on the bus, blowing up the entire bus.

At that time, the male corpse wearing a ski suit will be identified as an accomplice in the jewelry store robbery, and the two of them will be regarded as survivors and protected by the police, completely at large…

What a wonderful plan!

It’s a pity that I got on the wrong bus and encountered a bus full of “gods”.

Even if Xia He didn’t take action, Akai Shuichi and Shinde Tomoaki would most likely knock them down before the criminals got out of the car. “Whether we can escape successfully depends on you, Mr. Driver.”

One of the gangsters put his gun to the driver’s temple and said in a playful tone, “You continue to drive and lead those cops away. Of course, to ensure that you can follow our instructions, we will bring another hostage with you.”

After saying that, he, who thought he was very smart, walked straight towards his accomplice.

All plans were being carried out in an orderly manner as the criminals had envisioned.

Xia He and Conan looked at each other.

About seven minutes later.

The car gradually drove out of the tunnel.

But at the moment when the sunlight shone in from the window, two cars that rear-ended each other in the middle of the road suddenly came into the bus driver’s sight.

Seeing this, the driver immediately stepped on the brakes.

The entire body of the car turned sideways at this moment and drifted to the side of the road.

Under the influence of inertia, almost all the people in the car were thrown out and fell to the ground.

Conan didn’t even have time to implement his plan.

Feeling the pain, he quickly got up and tried to aim at the target with the anesthetic watch.

But he didn’t need to make any move at all, as Xia Heze had already rushed forward at lightning speed and punched one of the gangsters on the jaw.

Teeth mixed with blood flew down. In just one second, the criminal’s eyes rolled back and he fell into a corpse-like sleep.

Seeing this, another gangster quickly picked up the pistol that had fallen to the ground, pointed it at Xia He, and shouted angrily: “Boy, do you want to die?”

“No.” Xia He grinned, “But is there a possibility that your gun can’t fire any bullets at all?”

“Go to hell, idiot!”

A ruthless look flashed across the criminal’s face.

But the next second, he found that he had no way to pull the trigger at all.

“how come?”

He looked at the gun in his hand in astonishment.

Xia He took advantage of this gap, grabbed the gangster by the collar, and threw him out of the window.

“When you hold the Lev rifle and lift the safety slightly to the middle, it will automatically lock. Am I right, Teacher Judy?” He clapped his hands and turned to look at Judy Stelling who was always ready to go.

“Uh… yeah!” Judy nodded in a daze.

This kid, when did he find out that I had tampered with that man’s gun?
His observation skills are really sharp.

at the same time.

The two gangsters were knocked down instantly, and everyone in the car, except Shuichi Akai, was stunned.

This naturally included the accomplice of the two criminals – the woman who had previously chewed gum to send the secret signal.

However, at this moment, after a brief moment of surprise, the expression on her face immediately became extremely panicked, “Oh no… Oh no! The brakes just now hit the detonator on my watch. Now the bomb will explode in one minute!”

“what?!”

“Is there a bomb in the car?”

Hearing this, all the passengers’ hearts suddenly rose to their throats.

“Run!”

I don’t know who shouted, but the next second, everyone rushed to the car door.
