How many character cards do you have?

"Click."

Before Conan could react, he heard a crisp sound and was shocked to find that the cover of his anesthesia watch was shattered.

'Akai Shuichi' still didn't speak. After abolishing Conan's original plan to stun Akai Shuichi, he slammed his elbow into the wall of the van, and at the same time let out a muffled grunt, and shook his paralyzed left hand casually. Covering Conan's mouth with his right hand, he pinned him to the ground with one hand.

After finishing this series of actions, he released Conan's wrist with his left hand, took out a bug from his pocket and crushed it.

Black debris fell from Akai Shuichi's fingertips. Conan stared at the series of actions of "Akai Shuichi", but he didn't care. He pulled out the pistol from his arms and pointed the gun at the Dr. Ali who came to help.

"Don't act rashly, keep driving your car."

Dr. A Li had cold sweat on his forehead, so he could only continue to drive the car.

But at this time, Hess suddenly let go of Conan's hand, and said with a smile: "No one can hear our conversation now, so you can say whatever you want."

Conan sat up, covered his chin, and stared at 'Akai Shuichi' vigilantly, it shouldn't be...

"You are Hess."

According to Hattori's investigation on the Internet, Conan and the others have locked in a key figure, that is Hess, one of the bishops of Kabbalah.

He boarded the plane leaving the beautiful country a week ago. According to the intelligence of the FBI, he was witnessed entering that building with a man in black, and he almost never came out after that.

"Sure enough, I have investigated it." Hess hooked the corners of his lips, "But I was really shocked. I didn't expect that the silver bullet that Akai Shuichi said would be such a child. Hmph, if Gin knew about it, would you know? What kind of expression will it be?"

Conan's heart beat faster for a moment, but he calmed down quickly, and glanced at the debris of the bug: "It seems that you didn't mean to tell Gin."

"Why do you say it? Wouldn't it be better for him to find out such an interesting thing?" Hess smiled, watching the excitement with his face full.

Now, Conan initially sketched out his impression of Hess in his mind.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time they have met face to face.

When he was underground, Conan could only hear his voice, but never saw Hess. At that time, Conan's initial impression of him was that of the leader of a cult, and he was suspected to be able to use magic.

Now the suspicion can be removed, he does know magic, Mr. Akai should be manipulated by him.

Logically speaking, it should be an extremely unfavorable situation now, but Conan has noticed some clues from his smashing the bug and his seemingly non-hostile behavior towards them now.

"Aren't you and Gin working together?" Conan asked cautiously.

"I'm not his subordinate." Hess said indifferently, "My goal is to catch the color of the stars."

Ok?

What did Conan hear? Could it be that the cooperation between the religious group and the organization is not close?

【Psychological confrontation】

Hess: average success

Conan: Difficult to succeed

For a moment, the figure of Belmode flashed in Conan's mind. Like that mysterious woman, he couldn't figure out what Hess was thinking.

However, there are similarities between the two.

Might be possible to take advantage of.

"You can definitely see that this is a trap. Even so, you still chose to board this car. Are you..."

Before Conan finished speaking, he saw the expression of 'Akai Shuichi' changed.

So far, Hess has been pretending to be Akai Shuichi's paralyzed face, but at this moment, even those who have seen Akai Shuichi a few times can feel that this expression is absolutely impossible to appear on Akai Shuichi's face.

A wicked smile.

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Hess said, "I'm not the only one who sees this is a trap."

Conan's pupils shrank slightly: "What do you mean..."

"Why do you think that you are the only ones who can back up?" Hess sat on the car seat with his legs bent, "Even if the guy from Gin saw that it was a trap, he still chose to rush in. Why do you think so?"

Conan's heart sank.

"That's right, this shows that even though he knew there would be an ambush ahead, Gin still had the confidence to achieve his goal, which is why I helped him." Hess said, resting his chin on one hand.

Originally, Hess did not intend to participate in the battle for the color of the stars. After all, his mission was to ensure the safety of the 'tree'. Originally, he didn't even plan to leave the building. Just like he said before, capturing the colors of the stars is gin It is his mission to protect the unfinished sacred tree. Everyone completes their necessary work. This is the truth of the world.

Those who cannot complete their own work are not worth being saved by God.

But this time Gin's plan doesn't require him to leave the building, it's just a magical thing, and it's not like Hess can't lend a helping hand.

And... isn't this fun.

Hess smiled.

"why are you laughing?"

"Because it's very interesting." Hess looked at Conan who was full of vigilance, and smiled, "Don't you think, you set up an ambush, but we also have a backhand here, who can catch the star in the end, It is to compare whose means are more clever, just like a holy war in a civilized society."

"Oh, by the way, you don't want to retreat."

When Conan moved behind his hand, Hess said like a prophet: "The person I am possessing now is your companion. If you don't want him to die in vain, let the car reach your original destination obediently."

Conan frowned, and let go of the hand that was intended to type in his pocket: "You are so confident that you must have won."

"Do not."

Unexpectedly, Hess shook his head decisively: "No one can predict the victory or defeat of a jihad before being on the battlefield."

"But I'm sure I'll win."

Some contradictory statements, but at this moment, Conan saw the strong self-confidence in Hess, and couldn't help frowning.

What's his trump card?

……

"Brother..." Vodka watched the van gradually go away on the highway, and couldn't help turning to Gin, "Something seems to have happened to them."

Gin frowned slightly while pressing the headset. There was no sound on the other side. According to the movement just now, it is very likely that the bug was damaged during the fight. Now they don't know the situation in the car, nor the situation on Hess' side. .

but……

"Follow." Gin Jiu ordered decisively.

"Hey, but if the people from the FBI have already found out, the car should not be heading for the location of the Star River." Vodka hesitated.

"Do you think that guy will lose?" Gin sneered, "Follow up, that van will guide us on the way, and notify Cohen and Chianti."

Vodka obeyed Gin's order unconditionally. He glanced at the phone and hesitated, "Do you need to notify Bourbon and Belmode?"

"Call them here."

"Yes."

Gin turned to look at the only red dot on the screen.

……

10 [-] minutes later

drip, drip

In Judy's pocket, the light of the locator flickered faintly, but she herself didn't know about it, because the fbi had reorganized the encirclement circle around it because of the changing situation.

"What's going on?" Judy asked the colleague in charge of monitoring.

"It hasn't arrived yet...ah, it's coming."

What they are currently monitoring is the mobile abandoned building, which is also the place Conan chose for the decisive battle, far away from the suburbs, because there are few people nearby due to the relationship of the developer.

Hoshinogawa's movements would be restricted during the day, but it was 3:[-] noon, the sun was still strong, and he himself was hiding in the room on the top floor of the building.

At this time, a white van drove slowly into the construction site, let a person down, and then drove away from the site without looking back.

"It's Shuichi." Akai Shuichi appeared in Judy's binoculars. She bit her lower lip and ordered the others, "Prepare anesthesia injections, live ammunition is not allowed."

"Yes."

Although I don't know why this Akai Shuichi's fingerprints are exactly the same as the real one, but Judy subconsciously doesn't want to shoot Akai Shuichi.

But at the same time, they also thought that the controlled Akai Shuichi was the handiwork of the black organization.

Conan didn't get out of the car, probably because the action just now failed, and now it's up to them to stop it.

Judy quickly sorted out the situation and began to deploy personnel arrangements.
