Just then, a police siren sounded.
“The Japanese police are arriving,” Shuichi Akai said.
Looking at Lan, who was still fast asleep beside her, Judy explained:
"It must have been this girl named Xiaolan who called the police."
"She was hiding in the trunk of the car."
"Although she couldn't hear our conversation, she should still be able to hear the gunshots."
"I think maybe she saw the photos of my house and thought I was suspicious."
"They hid in the trunk of my car, trying to investigate me."
"Then she heard gunshots and rushed out."
"To protect that little girl with brown hair with his own body."
"The gunshots may have made her too nervous."
"She probably thought she had been shot, which is why she fainted."
Since the arrest plan has already been formulated, there is no need to stay at Teitan High School any longer.
She then resigned from her job as an English teacher at Teitan High School.
When she told the students about it, Ran and Sonoko caught up with her and asked why.
She naturally wouldn't tell the truth.
It's just that she found the treasure map she had been searching for.
Sonoko then suggested holding a small farewell party for her.
There were only the three of them.
After solving the convenience store case, they went to her apartment to hold this farewell party.
She drank more because she was in a good mood.
He fell asleep right there on the table.
It was probably around that time that Xiaolan saw the photos she had hidden when she went to the bathroom.
Those photos are all about Ran and Conan.
Seeing these photos, it's not surprising that Xiaolan would have doubts about her.
She never expected that Xiaolan would be hiding in the trunk of her car.
Looking at Xiaolan, Judy gave a helpless smile:
"Honestly, I don't know whether to say she's brave or not."
"It's good that you're alright."
Xiaolan is considered brave because she dared to risk being hit and rush out to save people without hesitation.
She was considered cowardly because she seemed to have become too nervous due to the gunshots and fainted.
Of course, that's just a casual remark.
After all, Ran is just an ordinary high school girl.
We cannot judge Xiaolan based on their demands.
And no matter what, it's good that Xiaolan is alright.
Next, we need to figure out how to rescue the two people who were taken away by Vermouth.
Because Judy was injured, she couldn't help with the rest.
So, Shuichi Akai said to her:
"I'm leaving this place to you."
"Just say you're an FBI agent who came to Japan on a long vacation."
"I happened to get involved in this kidnapping case, which is why I stepped in to help rescue the hostage."
"Now that the target has escaped, even if we tell the truth, no one will believe us."
"Furthermore, I haven't been able to contact the Japanese Public Security Bureau yet."
That's all I can say.
After arranging all this, Shuichi Akai said with a hint of regret:
"In the end, no winner could be determined."
After a brief sigh, Shuichi Akai prepared to find a way to rescue the two hostages.
He carried the gun on his back, turned and walked away, leaving behind only one sentence:
"I'll try to find a way to save those two children. I'm leaving this to you."
...
They were unaware that Numabuchi Kiichiro died under Kosuke's arrangement.
I don't know if it was Guangyou who anesthetized Xiaolan.
Contrary to what they thought, she did not faint because she was too nervous or under too much psychological pressure.
Most importantly, they didn't know that the person being taken away as a hostage wasn't Ai, but Kousuke.
It wasn't Ai herself who made the promise to Shuichi Akai at the time.
It was Kousuke who agreed to be bait to lure Vermouth out, as Shuichi Akai had promised.
Same as tonight.
He answered in Ai's voice first.
He then used his original voice to get Shuichi Akai to make a guarantee.
Don't you think about it? How could Kousuke possibly let Ai go on such a dangerous mission as being the decoy?
They would definitely disagree.
However, Shuichi Akai was unaware of this.
At that moment, Kōyū was sitting in Vermouth's car.
Meanwhile, Conan, still fast asleep, lay in the back row.
Although she was wearing a bulletproof vest, it neutralized most of the power of the shotgun shells.
Having several ribs broken is not a pleasant feeling.
The adrenaline-pumping excitement I just witnessed was alright.
Now that they have successfully escaped and are far from the dock, the pain and other sensations have become much more pronounced.
With each breath, Vermouth felt a sharp pain.
She drove into the forest far from the dock before taking out her phone.
Now she has to report to her boss that she was ambushed by the FBI and injured.
Soon, Vermouth received a reply from the BOSS:
"I think I've given you too much freedom."
“Come back right away, Vermouth.”
"OK, BOSS."
After editing and sending the text message, Vermouth put her phone away.
She turned to look at "Shirley" sitting in the passenger seat and said:
"Okay, Sherry."
"Let's end all this as you say."
"You don't need to worry about the little boy in the back seat."
"I will keep my promise and not touch him."
At this moment, Vermouth was also thinking:
"Actually, I never intended to harm him."
"My goal has always been only you."
After glancing at her, Kwangyu didn't respond directly, but instead said:
"Didn't you discuss your plans with the organization this time?"
