Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 2546 2550 [Catch Uzo]

The little blue-hatted robber frowned as he thought of something: "Could it be that the driver of the black car wants to save more people?... He is really asking for more!"

As he said that, he looked out the window and wanted to take out his gun to shoot the tires of the car.

But whether it was a coincidence or something else, he tried again and again but couldn't find the angle to aim.

"Tsk!" The little blue-hatted man was a little impatient. He thought for a moment, turned around, and pointed his gun at the bus driver. "I remember there's a one-lane fork in the road ahead - turn onto that road, then speed up and get rid of the guy behind us!"

Even if they couldn't shake him off, they could still make it impossible for the daring black car driver to keep up with them, forcing him to follow behind. This would reduce the opponent's evasive space, making it easier for them to shoot.

"A fork in the road?" The bus driver was more familiar with this route than the robbers and knew that the fork was just around the corner. He hastily turned the steering wheel and, as the robbers requested, narrowly turned in.

The black car, which was quite skilled in driving, was driving crooked for some reason, and it was unable to react for a while and could only watch the bus turn away.

The two robbers came to the window and watched the car behind them warily, waiting for it to turn back. However, unexpectedly, the black car did not turn around, but drove away at the same speed.

"......?" Little Red Riding Hood glanced at Little Blue Riding Hood and asked the brains of the gang, "Why did they leave?"

Little Blue Hat thought for a moment and understood: "It's just a struggle between conscience and the desire to survive. Now it seems that the desire to survive has prevailed."

Little Red Riding Hood felt relieved after hearing this: "Humph, they are sensible."

The two men briefly understood the thinking of the strange vehicle, quickly withdrew their thoughts and focused on the business.

"Hey, you." The little blue hat pointed the gun at the bus driver again, "Go around from the front and take Central Avenue."

The bus driver took a look at the familiar muzzle of the gun, and gradually went from being terrified to being numb: "Okay."

……

The bus was heading to the designated location according to the kidnappers' plan.

Behind the distant building

Yuya Kazami was holding a telescope, looking at the two separated cars from a distance, and reported to his superior with a shocked look on his face.

"Yes, the person who suddenly jumped off the bus just now was indeed the member codenamed 'Irish'."

As Yuya Kazami watched the changing situation in front of him, he had to speak at the speed of a commentator. He said to Toru Amuro who was rushing over:

"Just now when the bus was driving, a Lexus suddenly broke through the checkpoint and drove parallel to it. Then Ireland climbed out of the bus window and got into the car.

"The two of them worked well together. The Lexus must have come to pick up his accomplices or subordinates... That was our original guess, but now, the situation seems a little strange."

Yuya Kazami chose his words: "It seems that Ireland had an argument with the driver, which caused the vehicle to be very unstable. The bus took the opportunity to get rid of them and drove towards Shirakawa Road. But Ireland and his friends actually gave up and walked away."

All these strange details made Yuya Kazami feel that something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he sent the video that his colleague had just captured with professional equipment to Toru Amuro: "This video captured a bit of the driver's outline. I always feel that this person is familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen him before."

On the other side of the phone, Toru Amuro looked down at his mailbox.

He played the video, paused at a precise moment, and zoomed in for a closer look.

After a moment, he said in surprise: "Isn't this vodka?"

In other words, Vodka drove through the checkpoint, came to the bus equipped with the bomb, and took Ireland away?
...The alliance between those two people is so solid? Vodka dared to go to the center of the stage and pull Ireland out of it despite Uzo's threat?

...so brave. Is this still vodka? Is it really not possessed by something else?

Amuro Toru's head was full of question marks, and he always felt that something was not right.

Suddenly, he looked at the car in the video, whose speed remained the same no matter how it twisted, and he seemed to realize something.

"I just checked all the cases that happened in Beika Town today." Amuro Toru pressed his phone and returned to the news interface. "At the same time as the bus was hijacked, an abandoned water tower in Takaoka Town suddenly exploded."

"I checked some internal data and confirmed that the explosion was related to another incident - a fugitive planted a bomb on a car in the rental yard to avenge the person who arrested him and put him in jail, but a mysterious passenger rented that car by mistake.

"After the detonator is activated, once the vehicle's speed drops below 30 kilometers per hour, the bomb will be triggered immediately... Oh, what a coincidence."

When he first saw this news, Toru Amuro was secretly worried about the citizen who accidentally rented a bomb vehicle, but now...

He replayed the video, looking at the car moving in an odd position, and gradually came to a conclusion in his mind.

——There is no doubt that the mysterious "unlucky citizen" is Vodka himself.

"Ireland must have sensed the danger in the bus, so he wanted to abandon it and flee, but he probably didn't expect that the bus he fled to, Vodka, also contained a deadly bomb."

Thinking about how coolly Ireland jumped down just now, and then thinking about his expression after learning the truth, Toru Amuro almost laughed out loud.

But as he smiled, his brows suddenly frowned and his smile disappeared.

“Even if you use your toes to guess who caused this situation, Uzo is not a puppeteer - he is not controlling soulless toys, but living people.

"Not only are there living people, but there are also two living people who are extremely hostile to him and are already wary of him... How did he do it?"

After a little thought, Toru Amuro immediately found many things worth pondering.

"Judging from Vodka's reaction, he should have known that there was a bomb on his bus. Given his personality, he would definitely try every possible way to survive, so why did he try to survive by getting close to another bus with a bomb?"

"Also, although Akai Shuichi was on that bus, would a guy as arrogant as Ireland really be so scared of Akai Shuichi that he would want to jump off the bus and evade immediately? - Unless there was some greater danger on the bus that he had no confidence in dealing with, so he had to choose to withdraw."

With all the anomalies in front of him, an answer gradually became clear in Toru Amuro's mind.

"...Uzo." Amuro Toru said with certainty, "Uzo must be on that bus!"
