Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 2548-2552 [Multi-party meeting]

"The best way is to reject this group of strangers first, then borrow their ideas and ask your subordinates to prepare the same equipment."

Ireland sighed, "Hashimoto Maya isn't far from here, and he's always quick and agile, but unfortunately he's running out of gas - let's go find that rescue team and try."

Although the cadres of the mysterious organization should try to avoid contact with other people...but now he has even taken notes several times, and a mere rescue team can no longer cause any waves in his heart.

After hearing what Ireland said, Vodka was silent for a moment, then turned the steering wheel without saying a word and drove towards the Little Buddha Tunnel.

Vodka: "..." Hashimoto Maya... Is Hashimoto Maya your subordinate? How dare you use him indiscriminately? Even if you really ask him for help, I will never drive the car over there - instead of trusting that kind of new Uzo minions, it is better to bet on the enthusiastic citizen on the other end of the phone.

With their different thoughts, the vehicle drove towards the nearby tunnel with little fuel left.

……

At the same time, on another road.

The bus that was hijacked by the criminals was also heading in the same direction.

The criminals had obviously done some prior research and were very familiar with this section of road.

They looked out the window and quickly estimated the remaining time needed to reach the tunnel.

Seeing that the time was almost right, the two looked at each other and turned to look at the passengers in the car.

"Hey, you, the pretty boy with the glasses." Little Red Riding Hood pointed the gun at Dr. Shinide from a distance, then pointed at Akai Shuichi, "And the bumpkin without a cell phone, both of you come here."

Conan: "..."

Judging from the selection of people, it seems that this robber deliberately picked the guy who he thought was easiest to bully. But...

"I'll just have my doubts about Dr. Shinde, but that knitted hat is definitely not someone who can be easily dealt with." Conan muttered to himself, "They let the two of them get close to them on purpose. The robbers really know how to pick their own people... On the other hand, if these two hostages could have subdued the robbers when they got close to them, things would have been simple."

Unfortunately, the two people who were named were stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked over obediently, and seemed to have no intention of resisting.

Conan's expectations were dashed: "..." That's right, the lawless lunatics are actually one family. Instead of hoping that these two suspicious people would find their conscience, it would be better to find a way to save themselves as soon as possible.

The quick-witted detective didn't need to think long before he figured out a way out of the predicament.

But to achieve this, he first needed a pen that could write thick lines.

"But who would be so free as to carry around a pen like this?" Conan sighed inwardly, a little hesitant, "Let's find a substitute, like borrowing the lipstick from Teacher Judy, and then saying it was Brother Jiang Xia's idea... But Jiang Xia is not that far from her, if that's the case, Jiang Xia would definitely ask to borrow it directly, and I wouldn't need to relay it."

Just as I was thinking about it with some worry, suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side, holding a thick black oil-based signing pen.

——This pen has a thin tip on one end and a blunt tip on the other. The blunt end meets Conan's requirements perfectly.

"!" Conan was immediately surprised, but besides being surprised, the detective's suspicious DNA also started to move. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the enthusiastic curly-haired gentleman sitting next to him, "Thank you... but why do you carry this with you?"

The curly-haired man sighed regretfully: "Actually, I came here to chase stars today, so I prepared a signature pen in advance. I didn't expect to use it now."

...This is a lie. How could a puppet created on the spot carry a pen with it? He just asked the cat to secretly take it out of the bag of a passerby fan.

"That's a great help!" Conan took the pen under the cover of the chair back and suddenly noticed something else, "'Just in time to use'... Do you know what I'm going to use it for?"

"Of course." The curly-haired man smiled at him, "Smart people always think alike."

This is of course also a lie.

However, the only listener, Conan, thought this was quite reasonable.

But he still needs to be modest. Conan scratched the back of his head and explained in a low voice like a real child: "It's not what I thought. It's just that Brother Jiang Xia happened to talk about something similar when he was telling us a story not long ago."

The curly-haired man nodded: "All the same."

Conan was slightly stunned, not understanding what this "all the same" meant... Maybe he just wanted to praise the child in order not to discourage him?
The current occasion was obviously no longer suitable for dwelling on these trivial matters, so Conan quickly put these details aside. He held the pen, secretly looking for the right opportunity.

……

Of course, he was not the only one looking for an opportunity.

Metropolitan Police Department.

Inspector Megure, who is busy and overwhelmed, is also looking for opportunities to save citizens with his subordinates.

"Hello? Shiratori, how is the situation on the hijacked bus?" After asking, he asked the other side, "Sato, has the bomb car that was rented by mistake been found?"

In the distance, Officer Shiratori frowned and held the telescope. "The hijacked bus has left the fork road and driven onto Central Avenue. If it continues like this, it will soon enter the Little Buddha Tunnel."

"The Buddha Tunnel?!" Before Inspector Megure could say anything, Sato Miwako on the other end of the line was already surprised, "Tell them to avoid that! - I just received a message from the traffic department. Yumi said that she found traces of the bomb car from a surveillance video. Although it is not completely certain, it seems that the car is also heading towards the Buddha Tunnel!"

Inspector Megure was sweating profusely: "Two bomb cars are coming together?... Immediately contact the robbers on the bus and ask them to move to another place!"

Officer Shiratori was also very busy at this time: "I have contacted the bus terminal and asked them to get in touch with the hijacked bus, but so far, the other party has not answered the call."

"No one or two of them answered the phone. What's wrong with this group of people?" Inspector Megure was overwhelmed, but he could only work hard. "Maybe the robbers felt that they had said everything they needed to say, so they wanted to avoid contact with the police as much as possible to avoid being caught... Forget it, think about it on the bright side. The tunnel is quite spacious, and the bus driver is a veteran with many years of driving experience. It shouldn't hit them."

It is really difficult to deal with the driver of the bomb car who lost contact without permission. In addition to the unlucky driver, there are more than a dozen passengers on the bus who need to be rescued.

Inspector Megure had no choice but to put down the bomb truck temporarily and take care of the bus first: "Based on the vehicle conditions provided by the bus headquarters and the running time of the bus today, the bus should be running low on gas - if the robbers want to continue to control the bus, they will definitely find a place to stop near the tunnel and refuel the vehicle."
