Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 2544 [Please get in the car]

"!!" Vodka could only hurriedly steady the steering wheel and barely keep a distance from the bus to avoid a head-on crash and death on the spot.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound - his rear window was smashed open by a window hammer, and immediately afterwards, a figure skillfully squeezed in through the not-so-spacious window.

Vodka saw the figure clearly and was stunned: Ireland? How could this guy fall from the sky?

...Oh, by the way, his attention was all on Uzo just now, and he actually forgot that Ireland was also riding on the bus that was hijacked by the criminals.

"So why did this guy jump on my car?" Vodka looked confused. "Is he tired of living and wants to commit suicide? Or is he here to share the good and bad times with me? ... Is our alliance so solid?"

"No, I remember the news just now saying that there was a suspected bomb on this bus. Could it be..." After figuring this out, Ireland's behavior at this moment suddenly had an explanation, "Could it be that he thought I was here to pick him up, so he jumped on my bus?"

Vodka looked at his fellow sufferer in the back seat and suddenly wanted to laugh, but when he thought about his own situation, he couldn't laugh.

But soon, he had a flash of inspiration and realized that this seemed to be a great opportunity.

——From his impression, Ireland's driving skills are pretty good. If he could let this guy drive for him, he could take the opportunity to climb onto the bus and hug Jiang Xia's thighs... maybe the crisis would be resolved!
Just as I was thinking about it, Ireland in the back seat spoke up: "Thank you so much this time."

"..." Vodka waved his hand calmly: "It's a small matter."

While he was pretending to be a good ally, his mind was racing, thinking about how he could trick Ireland into coming over to drive.

Before he could think of a solution, Ireland spoke first. The guy in the back seat instructed him, "Keep a distance from this bus and drive diagonally in front of it. Remember, drive steadily."

Vodka came back to his senses: "Huh?"

He glanced at the rearview mirror in confusion, and then was startled: Ireland had taken out a gun from somewhere, and was now looking at the bus next to him with the gun, as if he wanted to blow up the bus's fuel tank with one shot.

"Wait!" Vodka was sweating profusely, "What do you want to do?!"

Ireland laughed, thinking of the help from his ally just now, and shared his thoughts with him: "Guess who is in this car?"

Vodka: "..." Do you still need to guess? It's just Uzo... huh? No, you obviously don't know Uzo, how come you suddenly got it?

He cautiously confirmed: "Who?"

Ireland reveals the answer: "In addition to Uzo, there is also Shuichi Akai, the so-called 'silver bullet'."

After saying this, he noticed that Vodka was sweating profusely. He laughed and comforted him, "Don't be nervous - there are a lot of bombs on the bus. As long as I penetrate the fuel tank, even the two of them will only become two ghosts in the explosion."

As he spoke, he sighed, "It's a pity for Jiang Xia... But on second thought, now that Wu Zuo is dead, Jiang Xia is useless to us - that detective has too many contacts with us, with his keen sense, there is no guarantee that he will not find problems. I originally planned to kill him after dealing with Wu Zuo, but I didn't expect to have such a great opportunity to kill him all at once. It really saves trouble."

Vodka listened to these words as if they were reading a divine book: "..." He wanted to blow Wuzo to death, but felt it was a pity for Jiang Xia?

Isn't Wuzo the same as Jiangxia? But according to Ireland's understanding...

Vodka came to his senses and his heart skipped a beat: Is Uzo's curly-haired stand-in named "Kurosawa" also in the car?

"How many problematic guys are on this bus... Should I really get on this bus? Do I really have the confidence to survive these ghosts?" Vodka couldn't help but ask himself:

"Let's put Akai and Usa aside, Usa's little brother is obviously not an easy person to deal with either - although he is just a peripheral member, every time I come into contact with him, I feel uneasy. The way he looks at me is really weird...

"This must be taught by Uzo! Damn Uzo, not only is he a pervert, but he actually taught these horrible ideas to his subordinates. This is truly a grave sin."

He was cursing inwardly, a little distracted, when suddenly a voice interrupted him.

After Ireland finished speaking, he found that Vodka had not moved yet, so he checked the location of the bus's fuel tank and urged, "Don't just stand there, move forward."

Vodka came back to his senses with a start. He looked at the gun in Ireland's hand, and the scales in his heart rang back and forth: No matter how dangerous the bus next to him was, as long as Jiang Xia was on the bus, there would definitely be a glimmer of hope. But on his side... the passengers were him and Ireland.

Thinking of this, Ireland's words just now began to echo in his ears: "a great opportunity to kill them all", "two dead souls in the explosion"...

The more he thought about it, the more Vodka felt a chilling malice. His hair stood on end, and his desire to survive was clamoring loudly - No, according to Uzo's tone, if he continued like this, his Lexus might really explode. And what Ireland had just said would become a malicious prophecy, predicting the future of both of them!

"Well..." Thinking of this, Vodka swallowed hard and tried to pretend to be calm and rational. "The shock wave of the bus explosion is too big. If we blow it up rashly, it might affect us. How about we think of other ways?"

Ireland sneered: "Are you worried that if Wu Zo dies, 'that master' will think we are fighting among ourselves? - Don't worry, this is a necessary condition for getting rid of Akai Shuichi. With the 'silver bullet' as a reward, no one will have any objection to the death of a mere Wu Zo."

"I see." Vodka wiped his sweat, his brain working at overload speed, "I have studied Tokyo buses before, and I am very familiar with their structure. How about you drive the bus, and I will be responsible for shooting the fuel tank? - It happens that you have been on the bus just now, so you must be very clear about the weight of the bomb on it. If you are the driver, you can also better control the distance between the cars to avoid us being caught in the explosion."

Ireland thought for a moment and felt that there was some truth in this, but said, "I really don't trust your shooting skills."

Vodka: "..."

...How could this happen! If he had known this would happen, he would have trained his marksmanship more!
But it was too late to regret now. Vodka could only pretend to be confident: "You underestimated me too much. I am no longer the useless person I was before."

Ireland: “…” Indeed, I have to admit that compared to before, today’s vodka is impressive.

...But why did he feel like something was wrong?
