Chapter 174 Conan's Test
If, as Yuya speculated, the third accomplice was hiding among the passengers, considering Xiaobai's behavior of confiscating mobile phones, then the behavior of that accomplice is easy to understand - secretly monitoring the passengers to prevent them from doing anything tricky.
As for the position that can best monitor all passengers, it is undoubtedly the last row of seats.
Conan immediately suspected the man in the knitted hat. After all, this person was secretive and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
The woman is also a suspect. The police did not reveal the gender of the accomplice, so it could be either a man or a woman.
As for that old man...his suspicion may be less serious, but it cannot be ruled out.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Hand over your phone." Xiaobai collected the phone in front of him and came to Youya's side.
Yuya glanced at him calmly: "I don't have a cell phone."
"Where is she?" Xiaobai pointed the gun at Miyano Shiho.
"She doesn't have a cell phone either." Youye said coldly.
Xiaobai clicked his tongue and muttered quietly, "Kids nowadays are really young, dating at such a young age." He didn't doubt it too much. The two of them looked like high school students, so it was normal for them not to have cell phones.
Even if there is, it doesn’t matter, he has a backup plan.
"Where is your cell phone?" Xiaobai pointed a gun at Akai Shuichi and asked coldly.
Akai Shuichi coughed a few times and said in a fearful tone: "I don't have a cell phone."
Xiao Bai tutted and looked at the old man: "Hey, what are you wearing?"
The old man was startled and stammered, "This, this is a hearing aid! My ears have always been bad, and I need a hearing aid to hear things..."
"Bah, bah, bah."
Xiao Bai was attracted by the sound of chewing. He looked at the woman on the right of the old man and scolded her, "That woman, she's making so much noise with her smacking mouth."
The woman said nonchalantly: "There's nothing I can do about it. That's how chewing gum works. And I advise you to stop. You'll be caught sooner or later anyway..."
"boom!"
The woman widened her eyes and looked at the back of the chair beside her in horror. There was a hole in it caused by a pistol and wisps of white smoke were coming out of it.
"I, I understand. I won't make any more noise." The woman calmed down and said with a frightened look on her face.
Xiaobai snorted coldly, turned around, checked the passengers, and walked towards the front of the car.
Just as he passed by Judy, Judy's crossed legs suddenly changed left and right. Xiaobai didn't look at his feet at all and was tripped, and he couldn't help but let out a wail.
Conan's eyes widened in shock. He didn't know whether to marvel at Judy's courage or despise Xiaobai's incompetence. How could an armed gangster fall so ugly?
Yuya's eyes moved, and he wanted to subdue Xiaobai first, but considering that Xiaohei was still standing in the front of the car with a gun, it would be meaningless even if he subdued one. It would be troublesome if Xiaohei got angry and fired randomly.
So I gave up this plan.
All the passengers were startled by Xiaobai's sudden fall, and they subconsciously looked at the man who was lying on the ground with his whole body prostrated.
Xiao Hei turned back in surprise: "Hey, are you okay?"
Xiaobai gritted his teeth and stood up, looking back angrily: "Damn it!"
The instigator, Judy, lay motionless, her glasses reflecting white light so that her eyes could not be seen clearly, as if she was asleep.
Vermouth pretended to be startled and subconsciously whispered, "Judy?"
When Judy heard Vermouth calling her, she woke up from a doze. She looked around and found that everyone was looking at her in surprise.
Then he looked at Xiaobai, who had an angry expression and got up from the ground and looked at him, and then he realized what he had done.
"Oh, sorry! I..." Judy hurried to help Xiaobai, speaking a series of fluent English, which made the man look confused.
He didn't understand a word I said.
Finally, he pushed Judy away angrily and yelled, "Forget it, sit still!"
Judy obediently returned to her seat, and after making sure that no one was looking at her, she whispered to Conan, who was across the aisle, "This is so exciting!"
Conan's mouth twitched slightly, his face full of speechlessness: This teacher, is there anything wrong? Is she really a member of the organization?
···
Conan watched Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai discussing something with their backs to the carriage, and was about to take out the mini mobile phone invented by Dr. Agasa to contact the police, but suddenly he remembered what Yuya said about the third accomplice hiding among the passengers, and his hand movements stopped again.
But how can we catch the accomplice without any intelligence?
Conan thought about it for a moment and came up with an idea in his mind.
He held up a mini mobile phone and pretended to press buttons on it, while looking at the last row out of the corner of his eye.
Suddenly, it darkened above Conan's head. He looked up suddenly and saw Xiaobai pointing a gun at him with a sinister expression on his face.
"What are you doing?" Xiaobai shouted angrily, grabbed Conan by the collar, lifted him up, and threw him to the ground.
Yuya narrowed his eyes and his body tensed instantly.
"You little brat, if you dare to do anything again, it won't be so easy, okay?" Xiaobai said, picking up Conan's dropped mobile phone and turned back to the front of the car.
Ayumi worriedly helped Conan sit down and asked in a low voice: "Conan, are you okay?"
Conan soothed, "I'm fine."
"Didn't I tell you that there was an accomplice among the passengers? Why are you so impulsive?" Yuya scolded Conan in a low voice.
Conan's lips curled up into a smug smile, and he whispered, "My fall wasn't in vain. I have already confirmed who their accomplice is."
"Oh?" Youya raised his eyebrows. Conan can also bait and fish?
However, it was useless to know who the accomplice was. There was always a distance between Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, and You didn't know much about the two of them. He couldn't guarantee that when he tried to subdue one of them, the other would not react and shoot.
The bomb in the ski bag is also a problem. The remote control is still in the hands of the accomplice. We have to wait until the car is driven to an open area before we can take action, to prevent the bomb from exploding and injuring innocent people.
It would be best if someone could cooperate with him by then...
Yuya glanced at Judy and Vermouth. There was no doubt that these two people had the ability to subdue the criminals, as well as Akai Shuichi in the back row.
However, will they choose to expose their strength and attack? Besides, how to communicate with them is also a problem.
It seems that we still have to find a way to bring the two people together, or we can use Conan's method.
"Conan, can you find a way to bring them together?" Yuya whispered.
Conan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered his childhood friend's superb skills and came to his senses; yes, they have a ready-made master on their side, and they can definitely find an opportunity to save themselves.
After thinking for a while, Conan nodded: "I'll think of a way."
"Hey, you two, stop talking to each other!" Xiaobai suddenly turned around and shouted at Yuya and Conan.
Yuya glanced at him indifferently, not bothering to pay attention to him. He shrank his body and rubbed Miyano Shiho's head with his chin.
Miss Shiho has a lot of hair, which feels soft and smooth when rubbed, and the strong scent of shampoo keeps coming into my nose.
Seeing that You ignored him and instead became intimate with the girl in his arms, Xiaobai's face suddenly turned dark with anger and he wanted to come over with a gun in hand.
Xiao Hei quickly stopped him, and the bus company contacted him back, saying that the police agreed to release Kunio Yajima.
Hearing that the police were willing to release the person, Xiaobai was too lazy to argue with Youye. He and Xiaohei laid the ski bags they had been carrying upright in the car.
