Chapter 537 The Unlucky Robber
Bertrand approached the singer and struck up a conversation with her using his innocent appearance and sweet talk.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gin and the other man getting up to leave. He said goodbye to the singer, turned around, and followed them, still pondering something as he left.
...
The Junior Detective League and Professor Agasa are on a bus heading to a ski resort.
Many passengers got on and off the bus when it stopped.
At Mihana Park Station, all the characters from this storyline boarded the train.
Kawasaki Makoto sat in a seat and looked up curiously at the passengers boarding the bus.
Vermouth disguises herself as Tomoaki Shinide, Jodie, and Shuichi Akai.
As soon as they got into the car, Ai Haibara's pupils constricted sharply upon smelling the distinctive scent of the Black Organization members. She lowered her head and pulled the hood of her coat over her head.
Because she was sitting in an aisle seat, she asked to switch seats with Conan, who was sitting by the window.
Shinichiro and Judy sat in the seats in front of them.
Shuichi Akai, wearing a mask and a long coat, sat in the last row of seats on the bus.
His sharp and piercing aura immediately caught Conan's attention.
This also caught the attention of Machi Kawakita.
His light purple eyes followed Shuichi Akai's movements with curiosity.
Perhaps his gaze was too intense, Shuichi Akai glanced at him, noticed the other's hair color, his eyes paused slightly, and then he looked away without making a sound.
Following closely behind Shuichi Akai, a man wearing a coat, hat, and sunglasses got into the car. Judging from his clothing, he was a man, but his height suggested he was a teenager. He sat down behind Ai Haibara.
At this moment, Genta noticed that two people had already put on their ski suits. Kawasaki Machi, seemingly drawn to this, also peeked over at today's unfortunate robber.
Kawasaki Machi felt a pang of sympathy for them for two seconds.
Of all the cars to rob, why did they have to choose this one...?
One word to describe it: Serves him right.
Then, amidst the commotion of Genta and the others, and under Conan's watchful eye, the two robbers in ski suits pulled out pistols from their ski bags, pointed them at the passengers, and shouted, "Quiet down, everyone!"
Conan's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
Many people were startled by the robber's shout.
Chuan Shengzhenzhi shrank back, taking advantage of the fact that the robbers couldn't see him, and gave a disdainful twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Ai Haibara, standing next to Conan, was still unable to extricate herself from the smell of the brewery.
After calming the passengers down, the robbers threatened the driver to close the doors and then slowly drove around the city.
Faced with his life threatened, the driver complied in a panic.
Next, the less fortunate robbers demanded that passengers with mobile phones hand over their devices, saying, "Hand over your phones obediently, and don't try anything funny, or you'll never be able to make a phone call again."
After receiving calls from some people, the bus stopped at a red light. The driver, who was asked to contact the company, called the company and was about to report the situation when the hijackers snatched the walkie-talkie and arrogantly said that they had hijacked the bus.
"We have only one demand: the immediate release of Kunio Shijima, who is currently in jail. Otherwise, we will shoot one passenger every hour! If you understand, please relay this to the police immediately. I will contact you again in twenty minutes!"
Kunio Shijima is a member of a gang of robbers who was captured last month for making a bomb attack on a jewelry store.
