Chapter 2544 2556 [Gin's Sniper] Ask for monthly ticket (づど)
After Conan finished speaking, he thought the children would exclaim excitedly, and he was ready to interrupt them and assign tasks.
However, unexpectedly, there was no movement in the detective badge for a long time.
Conan couldn't help but look sideways at the badge next to his ear: "......?" What happened? Did the badge run out of power? Or were the kids so scared that they forgot to pay attention to the badge?
He had no choice but to lower his voice and asked again: "Hello? Can you hear me?"
Finally, Yoshida Ayumi's sneaky voice came from the badge: "Yes, but..."
Conan said with relief: "Very good, from now on, you must act completely according to what I say - don't worry, the bus is still in the tunnel, the light inside the car is very dim, and the kidnappers will relax their vigilance because success is imminent..."
"Wait." A voice interrupted him. Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya put the badge to his lips and whispered, "I don't know what your plan is, but on the other hand, what if the two kidnappers don't let their guard down and discover our actions? - When we encounter setbacks just when we are about to succeed, their anger will definitely be terrible."
Yoshida Ayumi sounded so scared that she was about to cry: "They will definitely pull out their guns and shoot randomly."
Kojima Genta also scratched his head: "Even if the kidnappers' shooting skills are poor, we will be held accountable by Brother Jiang Xia for causing such a consequence..."
Conan: “……?”
How can such a young man have so many worries? Are these still his three simple-minded and impulsive first-grade classmates?
Conan had no choice but to take a deep breath and save the situation in a roundabout way. He followed Kojima Genta's words and said, "Brother Jiang Xia will not settle accounts with us - this is what he just quietly told me."
After he finished speaking, he remembered something and held his breath nervously.
But fortunately, the elementary school students were easy to fool and did not ask questions like "How did you get in touch with Brother Jiang Xia?"
They didn't expect Conan to dare to fake an imperial decree. When they heard that it was Jiang Xia's order, the three of them looked at each other for a moment and asked nervously, "What's the plan?"
Conan was silent for a moment, feeling a little complicated: "..." We are all high school detectives, why do you listen to Jiang Xia so much?
... Never mind, it's not a big deal. And now is not the time to worry about details - the current focus is to quickly kill these three gangsters so that everyone in the car can get out of danger.
…
When the elementary school students were seriously discussing strategies to deal with the enemy.
Next to them, a low sports car without headlights accelerated silently and passed them - a modified Porsche 356a with a black shadow, drove forward along the bus and soon disappeared into the tunnel.
"Target confirmed." Chianti whistled. "Although I didn't see their faces, there were two figures standing in the car. They should be the robbers this time. Who do you want to kill?"
Gin bit an unlit cigarette and said indifferently, "Kill them all."
"Great!" The butterfly wings at the corners of Chianti's eyes fluttered again because of laughter. "Give me one. When the time comes, you kill the one on the right and the one on the left will be mine."
Next to him, Cohen had no problem with his job being taken away from him. He acted as a temporary driver and drove the car out of the tunnel first, heading straight for the mountain forest on the side - there was a small road connecting to the opposite side, and after firing the gun, they could directly enter the fork road and evacuate smoothly.
Using his experience to find the best sniping position, Cohen stopped the car and turned to look at the tunnel below.
…
In the tunnel, a bus is heading towards the exit.
As it got closer to the exit, the light in the car gradually returned.
The robber narrowed his eyes and felt that what was shining ahead was not only sunshine, but also the dawn of victory.
——Thinking of his own substitute plan and those stupid policemen who were about to be fooled, he couldn't help but smile. He wanted to publicize this perfect script of escaping to the whole world...but unfortunately, the evil wise man was destined to walk in the dark - he could only show off this to a few of his accomplices.
Thinking of this, the robber sighed and regretfully stopped his wandering thoughts.
He returned to business, pointed his gun at the bus driver next to him, and threatened this passerby who was crucial to their plan: "Don't have any bad ideas - only if you obey me can you save all the hostages, otherwise..."
"Humph, that sounds nice!" Suddenly, a clear voice rang out in the car, interrupting the robbers. "But in reality, even if the driver is obedient, you will not release the hostages honestly.
"To be exact, you didn't intend to leave anybody alive. You dared to take off your scarf, hat and goggles in public and frankly reveal your appearance to us because you didn't regard us as living people at all."
Conan loudly revealed the robbers' plot to everyone in the car, reminding them of the need to resist: "If we don't think of a solution, we will all be killed by this bomb!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly bent down and, together with his elementary school classmate who was across the aisle, lifted up the ski bag on the ground.
In the middle of the yellow ski bag, four strange patterns written in oil pen appeared at some point - "qOT2"
Text-like patterns with unclear meanings are often easily ignored by the human eye.
The two robbers really didn't pay attention to the four characters. Their hearts were beating fast: they had worked on this trick for days and nights, and finally came up with it, and they were so proud of it, but it was actually seen through by a mere elementary school student? !
"That's right!" Another little boy with freckles on his face also hid behind a chair, and said in a flattering manner, "Brother Jiang Xia has seen through all your tricks, just surrender!"
The Little Red Riding Hood robber without Little Red Riding Hood: "..." Jiang Xia, that famous detective?! He was actually in the car too...
At this moment, instead of fear, he actually felt a strange sense of relief in his heart: It’s okay, it’s okay, being seen through by a detective is better than being seen through by a few first graders.
The little blue hat took a look at him and immediately understood what his accomplice was thinking: "..." Idiot, what's so good about it? If it weren't for that hateful detective, they would never have been exposed!
While the two robbers were struggling, Conan stared at the driver through the rearview mirror and finally couldn't help but urged anxiously: "What are you doing? Hurry up!"
The bus driver was sweating profusely. He looked at the rearview mirror: reflected by the lens, the strange words on the bomb package flipped left and right, and suddenly became a clear instruction - "STOP".
"Stop...Are you asking me to stop the bus?" The bus driver looked at the two furious robbers, and then at the passengers who were said to be a famous detective among them.
After a brief hesitation, he gritted his teeth and stepped on the brakes hard.
With a loud "creak", the bus slowed down and stopped suddenly, and the huge inertia threw everything in the car forward.
"Grandpa, come here!" Yoshida Ayumi had already sneaked to the back seat of the bus in the dark according to Conan's plan.
Seeing the driver stop the car, she pulled hard as prepared, successfully moving the hearing-impaired old man sitting in the middle of the back seat to a place blocked by the back of the front seat.
Kojima and Tsuburaya bravely held down the bomb to prevent it from sliding and colliding with the ground, while the other passengers staggered forward and steadied themselves with the support of their chairbacks.
On Jiang Xia's seat, a fake cat dutifully held the psychic master back to prevent him from hitting his head on the back of the front seat.
In the chaos, the most unlucky people were those who had no seats.
The three kidnappers were caught off guard and were thrown forward, soon falling into a heap with the guns in their hands.
Shuichi Akai and "Dr. Arata" next to them were sitting on the ground as requested by the kidnappers, so they did not fall too badly.
The sudden brakes of the bus startled them a little, but both of them reacted quickly. After the vehicle stopped, they immediately stood up and looked down at the robber at their feet.
…
"Ski suit, ski cap, scarf, goggles..." On the hillside in the distance, Chianti adjusted his gun and locked onto the bus that had stopped for some reason, and then locked onto the two robbers in ski suits on the bus. "Oh, this outfit is so tacky. I wouldn't have used this kind of thing as a disguise eight hundred years ago."
Cohen thought carefully and pulled out one thing from his memory: "If I remember correctly, you just bought a baseball cap for camouflage two days ago. It's not much better than a ski cap."
"'Not much better than a ski cap'? What kind of taste do you have!" Chianti said angrily, "My cap is a new model designed by an international designer. It is much more fashionable than the old-fashioned ski cap!"
"...Shut up." Gin really wanted to shoot the two colleagues who were not doing their job properly, but considering that the target this time was just two minions, he finally didn't bother to say anything more, just aimed his gun and said, "The group of cops are coming soon, send these two guys to their deaths before they show up."
"Got it, got it." Chianti stopped chatting and started working. "I'll count to 321. When we count to '1', we'll shoot together. This way, one party won't alert the enemy and the other party will have to redo the work."
In the woods, two guns were silently raised and aimed at the bus below.
…
On the bus.
Vermouth looked down at the robbers who were so close to her. Considering the safety of Cool Guy and herself, she wanted to quietly kick all the guys under her feet to knock them out, so as to prevent these dangerous gunmen and bomb-carrying men from causing trouble.
But this is obviously not what "Dr. Shinde" would do, and she has no idea about Uzo's script today. If she kicks Uzo's important actor off the stage in front of Uzo...
Vermouth moved uncomfortably and silently withdrew her foot. At the same time, she couldn't help but glance at the passengers guiltily.
Then I saw the curly-haired man with sunglasses who had a strong presence.
The two sides looked at each other, and the curly-haired man's hand on the back of the front seat moved slightly, and his fingertips pointed downwards.
Belmode was slightly startled.
Is this to make her... lie down?
Although the person opposite her was just a peripheral member, but thinking about who this guy represented... Vermouth had almost no hesitation, she instinctively bent her knees and fell down.
Not only Vodka, but other smart people in the organization have apparently discovered some patterns in their troubled lives - for example, if Uzo wanted to trick someone, he would never directly order the victim to step into the trap, but would only use his euphemistic and tortuous methods to politely hint.
On the other hand, if Uzo gave some direct instructions, it would be safe to follow his instructions.
Vermouth: “…” But…why did Uzo’s stand-in suddenly signal her to squat?
She looked around in confusion, and saw that as she squatted down, the robber who had fallen to the ground next to her stood up cursing and holding a gun.
Vermouth's gaze immediately fell on him: "..." Could it be that the robber's gun would accidentally go off and shoot the person standing next to him?
This guess flashed through her mind, and before she could think it over carefully, suddenly, the correct answer fell from the sky and landed in front of her.
——With a sound of glass breaking, the kidnapper who had just stood up suddenly tilted to the side, with a bloody hole on the side of his head, and a large amount of sticky liquid spurted out. He fell to the ground as if someone had pressed his head and pushed him hard, and he could never stand up again.
Vermouth was stunned.
After being stiff for a few seconds, she slowly lowered her head.
Looking at the robber lying dead beside her, and then at the warm blood gradually spreading on the ground, her back was suddenly soaked with cold sweat: this trajectory and angle... If she had hesitated for a moment and did not squat down according to the instructions of Uzo's stand-in, then the one who was shot in the head and fell to the ground suddenly might be her.
...Why is there a sniper rifle? ? Who is shooting? !
in addition……
Amid the terrified screams from everyone in the car, Vermouth gritted her teeth and looked out the window, then realized that it was not an illusion - two windows were broken, which meant that the person who had just fired at them was not one sniper, but two!
"Are those guys responsible for rescuing the hostages crazy?" This thought flashed through Vermouth's mind for a moment, but then she felt something was wrong. "With the way those policemen act, how dare they rescue people in this way? Shooting at the chaotic carriage without caring about anything is even worse than terrorists... huh? Wait?"
Snipers, outlaws, Uzo's script...
Various key words were spinning in her mind, and between accidental collisions, an idea suddenly popped up in Vermouth's mind.
Vermouth: “…” Could it be… Could it be that the two guys shooting outside the window were one of her unlucky colleagues who was controlled by Uzo?
…
"Tsk, that guy was so lucky that he just happened to squat down to pick up something and avoided my shot." Chianti cursed, "Now he's hiding behind a chair... What should we do? How about we drive by and throw a grenade in?"
As she was talking, she looked at the side and suddenly laughed: "You didn't hit it either?"
——When you make a mistake, you suddenly find that your colleague has made the same mistake. This obviously gives you a sense of comfort in your loss.
Next to her, Gin ignored her and just stared at the bus from a distance.
After looking for a moment, he slowly frowned.
