On the bus, the silent atmosphere continued to brew a depressing fear. On the bus, the silent atmosphere continued to brew a depressing fear.
The children who were originally laughing and talking happily wanted to cry, but they tried hard not to cry out loud. During this time, Yuko whispered comforting words.
Faced with such a horrifying experience, even this group of primary school students stayed in their seats obediently, not daring to move or make any sound.
After locking the two men in a backhand lock, the yellow-haired man came to the front of the car, looked at the man in black leather and asked, "Is the rabbit waiting in front?"
"Stop talking!"
The long-haired man grabbed the yellow-haired man and scolded him, then looked at the man in the black leather jacket and said, "I'm sorry."
The man in the black leather jacket did not answer, and for a moment the bus fell into silence.
In the back, Hattori Heiji and Conan, watching the scene in front of them, quietly began to make small movements.
Conan quietly took out the Kamen Rider notebook and ballpoint pen given to him by Genta from his trouser pocket, and then quietly handed it to Hattori Heiji behind his back.
After taking out the notebook and pen, Hattori Heiji placed them in the dead corner on the far right side close to the car wall and began to write about the current situation.
Although his hands were tied behind his back, he was still able to move slightly, and Hattori Heiji successfully recorded the information on the car in his notebook.
[There are eight hostages in total, a female teacher, a young man in his twenties, an old driver around fifty years old, and me, Hattori Heiji.
The criminals were armed with three pistols in total. There were currently three people in the car. Judging from their conversation, there should be one more person, making it a criminal gang of at least four people.
Among them, one of them is left-handed and has long hair...】
Under Ryosuke's thrilling gaze, and with Conan's watch, Hattori Heiji successfully recorded the information in a blind spot and then stuffed it into the gap between the car seat and the wall.
……….
On the other side, just when Heiji and Conan encountered a case.
Inside the opera house, Karasawa and Ayako were enjoying the opera "The Clown." Although they were a group of six, their seats weren't adjacent. Originally, Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki were to be seated separately, but Karasawa, mindful of Ran's desire for a private setting for them to reconcile, had Ayako reserve seats two rows in front of them. Unfortunately, plans didn't work out, and the two didn't show up. So, Karasawa and Ayako took the two reserved seats, leaving the four-row seats to Kazuha, Ran, and the others, allowing four people of the same age to sit together. At that moment, the three girls in the four-row seat were seated, with Heiji missing. "Oh my goodness, where's that guy Heiji?" Kazuha said, looking at the empty seat next to her with a look of displeasure. "He took so long to go to the bathroom, and the show's already started." "He'll probably be there soon, let's wait a little longer," Ran said with a smile. "Hmph, didn't that guy Heiji fall into the toilet?" Kazuha muttered as he sat down, suppressing his irritation and waiting again. However, after waiting for nearly ten minutes, Hattori Heiji still didn't show up. This was really unusual. "I can't get through to Heiji's phone."
He Ye listened to the sound of the phone being turned off and said anxiously, "What's going on with that guy? He hasn't come back for such a long time and his phone is turned off. Could he have encountered some crime?"
"Don't worry, maybe something delayed him."
Xiaolan comforted him and suggested, "Why don't we tell Detective Karasawa? If Heiji is really involved in a case, Detective Karasawa will definitely find out.
He also happens to be a criminal, so if a crime really happens, he will be able to contact the police quickly." "Then I'll call my brother-in-law now." Sonoko said and dialed Tang Ze directly.
When the phone in his arms rang, Tang Ze saw the caller ID and turned his head to look at the back row in confusion, trying to find the four people. But unfortunately, because the performance was in progress, the lights in the opera house were a little dim, so he couldn't see the other party at all, so Tang Ze simply answered the phone. "Hello? Why are you calling at this time? What's the matter?" "Um! Brother-in-law, listen to me, Hattori Heiji has disappeared!" As Sonoko narrated, Tang Ze's face couldn't help but become serious. Dark-skinned Heiji is missing? Could something have happened?
Tang Ze was really upset about this.
This event was initiated by Ayako. Karasawa had no recollection of any cases happening at the opera house, so he assumed they were part of everyday life, unrepresented in the anime, and likely a crime-free situation. As mentioned before, in the real world, daily life plays a much larger role, and encounters are more numerous. If Karasawa was constantly on edge every time he ran into these Shinigami, he'd probably have a nervous breakdown long ago. So, even when he stumbled upon Heiji, Karasawa dismissed it as just part of daily life and even relaxed a bit.
After all, the cases in which the dark-skinned Heiji appears are far fewer than those in which Conan appears.
If there was some uncertainty before, then the appearance of Heiji ruled out most of the cases. Tang Ze was sure that he had no impression of the two of them solving the case in the opera house.
But who knew that such a case would actually happen!! It is impossible to guard against it!!
Yes, after hearing that Hattori Heiji was missing, Tang Ze immediately became alert.
Even if he let things take their own course, it didn't mean that Karasawa had completely given up on his vigilance, or that he wasn't prepared for the possibility of the two triggering a crime at any time. While others were still wondering if Hattori Heiji hadn't answered the phone because of some messy thing like "his phone fell into the toilet or was stolen," they were still hoping for a lucky break.
Tang Ze immediately ruled out all the other possibilities and zeroed in on the possibility that Heiji had encountered a case. It was like… there was no escape, he had definitely triggered the case!! And he was very likely involved in a side storyline.
This was the only possibility: the two of them were involved in a case that had never been encountered in the anime. Thinking of this, Tang Ze's eyes turned serious. "What's wrong? Did something happen?" Tang Ze's actions naturally couldn't be hidden from Ayako, who looked at Tang Ze and asked.
Tang Ze told Ayako the reason why Sonoko called, and after listening, she immediately said, "If you feel uneasy, then go and have a look. It's okay on my side.
It would be bad if Hattori-kun came to Tokyo alone and got involved in a case."
"I see. I'll go take a look."
Tang Ze leaned over and gently touched Ayako's cheek, "Thank you."
"What's there to thank for? Just go ahead."
Ayako blushed at Tang Ze's sudden action, and immediately urged Tang Ze to leave the theater.
