The Split-Actress in Conan's World

The bus was circling aimlessly in the city, and the passengers on the bus were afraid to make a sound out of concern for the guns in the hands of the criminals.

"Very good, it seems everyone is obedient. Now hand over all the cell phones you have!"

The taller robber sneered and stepped forward, "Don't hide it! If I find out someone is hiding it, he will never be able to make a phone call again in his life!"

Several ordinary passengers handed over their mobile phones with horror on their faces.

Glenfiddich drove leisurely and picked up the communicator on the driver's seat and handed it to the fat robber who was pointing a gun at him.

The fat robber seemed to be frightened by his actions. He looked at him vigilantly and tightened his grip on the gun.

Glancing at him, Glenfiddich was a little confused: "Aren't you going to contact the bus company?"

"Oh...oh!" The fat robber suddenly realized and snatched the communicator from his hand. His movements were so fast that he felt the thrill of snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

The fat robber was stunned after getting the communicator, as if he couldn't remember his lines for a moment. After a long time, he stuttered and shouted to the other side: "We just hijacked your company's bus! We only have one request, and that is to immediately release Yajima Kunio who is currently serving his sentence!"

"You guys better notify the police soon. If you don't, we will kill one passenger every hour!"

"I will contact you again in twenty minutes. I hope you will be ready by then!"

Grunfiddy took back the disconnected communicator and put it back in the driver's seat. He seemed to be a little emotional and said casually: "Killing one person every hour... Isn't the efficiency a bit slow? It may not scare them."

The fat robber had just finished making the threatening phone call and seemed to have regained some confidence. He pointed the gun at his head fiercely and said, "Stop talking nonsense, or I'll take you first!"

"Really? How scary..." Grenfiddich said expressionlessly, with no ups and downs in his tone, which made the fat robber unconsciously feel an intuitive warning.

He silently put down the gun in his hand, feeling that something bad would happen if he continued to point it at the weird driver.

"If you plan to kill me, remember to tell me. Not far ahead is the famous Tiwujin River..."

“What, what do you mean?” The fat robber swallowed, unable to keep up with his train of thought.

Gryffindor looked at him in surprise, as if he had not expected him to be so stupid.

"What do you mean? If you're going to kill me, I'll definitely step on the accelerator and rush into the river, letting everyone be buried with me."

The fat robber shed a drop of sweat.

"You, calm down first. I won't shoot you. I promise. I promise you will be safer than anyone else in the car. Okay?"

"Is that so...then why should I do what you say?" Grunfiddi looked puzzled.

"Well, because if you don't do as I say I will shoot you..." The fat robber looked back at the tall robber who was collecting his cell phone and said uncertainly.

Glenfiddich let go of the steering wheel with both hands, took out a pack of cigarettes from his windbreaker, popped one out, put it in his mouth, and then lit it.

"Do you smoke?" He noticed the troubled look in the fat robber's eyes and asked him after hesitating for a moment.

"Thank you, but I don't smoke... wait, you are driving, there is a red light ahead, and you are about to be rear-ended. Change lanes quickly and enter the auxiliary road!" The fat robber said subconsciously at first, and then he saw the traffic ahead that he was about to hit through the windshield, and shouted in panic.

Glenfiddich calmly shifted into gear, grabbed the steering wheel and made a sharp turn, thus avoiding the imminent collision.

"Don't panic, I'm an experienced driver." He said lightly with a frown.

This sudden change of lane almost caused the tall robber who was collecting his cell phone to stumble and fall. Hearing the fat robber's movement, he turned around and asked loudly, "What are you doing?!"

The fat robber gave him an "OK" sign, indicating that he was fine, and then pleaded with Glenfiddich, "Brother, I beg you, we are all out here to make a living, it's not easy, please understand us as robbers, and I won't make things difficult for you, okay?"

Glenfiddich was very surprised. He felt that he had forgiven these two guys enough. You know, if it were any other time, if someone messed with him when he wanted to experience life, the best outcome would be a quick death. This time, he was so low-key mainly because he wanted to watch the show.

At the back seat of the bus, the tall robber saw that the fat robber did not respond after making a gesture. He cursed and continued to put away his phone.

"Hey, it's you, hand it over quickly!" He shouted at the man in the knitted hat sitting in the last row.

"Ahem... I didn't bring my cell phone." The man in the knitted hat and mask coughed for a while and answered in a weak tone.

"So you're a poor boy." The robber sneered and turned to look at the old man in black who was also sitting in the last row. "Hey, what are you wearing on your ears, old man?!"

The old man said weakly: "Yes, it's a hearing aid...My ears were damaged when I was young."

The robber Gao was too lazy to argue with an old man who spoke slowly. He turned around and heard the sound of chewing gum. He looked at the woman who made the sound and felt a little annoyed.

"Woman, your mouth is so noisy!"

"Of course I am, because I am chewing gum."

The woman seemed to be completely unafraid of the robber. She continued to make chewing sounds and tried to dissuade him: "But you will be arrested one day for what you have done. For your own sake, it is better to stop as soon as possible and run away..."

Bang!

There was a loud bang of a gunshot, and the bullet grazed the woman's ear and pierced the back of the chair next to her. The robber Gao had a ferocious look on his face, and a faint smoke came out of the muzzle of the gun in his hand.

"Just be quiet!"

"I, I understand. I will be obedient..." the woman said with a pale face and trembling.

"Huh, isn't it good to start like this?"

The tall robber walked back with a sneer, but when he passed Teacher Judy's row, he was tripped by her legs that were crossed and stretched out of the seat, and fell heavily to the ground.

"You foreigner..."

He covered his face, climbed up, and looked at her viciously.

"Oh, sorry!!" Teacher Judy seemed to have just realized that she caused him to fall. She rushed over to hold his hand, speaking short and vague English.

Everyone in the car who could understand English couldn't help but frown, because there were even some West Coast slang mixed in.

But it is obvious that this high-ranking robber did not have such a high level of spoken English. Even if he did, he probably did not understand these unique slangs.

He just cursed and pulled his hand out of Teacher Judy's hand, "Alright, alright, go back and sit down!"

When Teacher Judy sat back in her seat, she saw Conan's thoughtful look.

"This is really exciting, isn't it?" she whispered to him in English with a wink.

Conan laughed dryly.

Because of the angle, no one else in the car noticed that the driver in the driver's seat was Glenfiddich. They only judged the current situation based on the arrogant attitude of the fat robber while he was talking on the phone just now.

Conan took out the small portable earring phone invented by Dr. Agasa from his pocket and wanted to tell Inspector Megure about the situation here. Tomoaki Aida, who was sitting next to Judy, turned his head and glanced at the strange phone in his hand and raised his eyebrows.

However, before Conan could make a call, the tall robber who had walked in front earlier came back, snatched the earring phone from his hand, and knocked him off his seat, throwing him heavily to the ground.

"What are you doing, little brat?!"

Ayumi jumped down from the seat beside her and helped Conan up. Conan covered his chest and coughed several times before he caught his breath. He watched the tall robber walk away with the earring phone.

"If you dare to act rashly again, I will start killing you, little brat!"

Conan looked at his back and felt a little confused. He clearly took action when the two robbers walked to the front of the bus. How could he be discovered?

unless......

He turned around and looked at the last row behind him. In addition to Dr. Agasa who was sitting there alone, there was also the old man in black, the gum woman, and the man in a knitted hat and mask...

Among these three people, there is an accomplice of the robber!

But how did the accomplice pass the message to the robbers?

He turned around and looked at Dr. Agasa, hoping to get some information from him, but the doctor didn't seem to notice the presence of the robbers' accomplices, and he couldn't understand the look in his eyes.

Conan was not disappointed, because this in itself represented one thing, that is, the method used by the robbers' accomplices to convey messages was very covert, and even the doctor who was in the same row did not notice anything unusual.

Apart from mobile phones, what other methods can be so hidden...

He quietly observed the three men.

Although the hearing aid on the old man in black was very suspicious, he did not make a sound throughout the whole process. The other man in a knitted hat and a mask did not move either, but he coughed from time to time. If the coughing was coded with a certain rhythm, it might be able to convey a message.

As for the gum-chewing woman, he couldn't see any way to deliver the message.

As he thought about it, he gently tapped the back of Chiyoko's chair in front of him and communicated with him using Morse code.

"Who do you think is the pest among those three?"

Soon there was a response to the knocking, but the answer Chiyoko gave him surprised him a little.

He had expected a long series of knocks analyzing who might be a pest and who might not be, but all he got was a short "I wasn't paying attention."

Conan was stunned. Although his friend was usually lazy, he was still very reliable when something happened. This time he just answered that he didn't notice?

But soon, he understood why.

Chiyoko paused for a moment and then tapped again, "Think about the robbers yourself. I have more important things to pay attention to."

More important things?

Conan didn't understand, but his trust in Chiyoko made him not feel conflicted. Of course, if he could see the abnormal look of Haibara Ai in the front seat, he would probably understand what the more important thing Chiyoko was talking about, but unfortunately, his height did not support it.

He had no choice but to think for himself. Although the two anesthetic needles he and Chiyo had were enough to subdue the two robbers, if the third accomplice could not be found, something unexpected might happen.

Because he noticed that the two robbers behaved very unusually from the beginning - they placed two long bags that looked like ski bags in the middle of the bus aisle.

Combined with the name "Yajima Kunio" they said on the phone, he thought of a previous jewelry store robbery in which the robbers used explosives to blow up the jewelry safe.

If he guessed correctly, there might be a bomb in the bag!!

In the driver's seat, the communicator began to ring. The fat robber picked up the communicator and laughed wildly at first, and then the next sentence made Conan's heart sink.

"Hahaha, really? Are you ready to release them?"

"Then let the released Yajima call me in an hour. Once we confirm that he has escaped to a safe place, we will release the two hostages first."

"Listen carefully! Don't play tricks on me! If you act rashly, I can't guarantee the safety of the people in the car!"

Conan became more and more anxious. If the police had decided to release the robbers, then these robbers would be in a hurry to leave the car after achieving their goal. If what they left behind was really a bomb, then the people in the car would be in danger after they left!

He got down from his seat, laid on the ground, and leaned over to pick the ski bag in the middle of the aisle to check what was inside.

However, just as he leaned out, he felt a cold touch on his head. The robber Gao squatted in front of him, pointed a gun at his head, and said with a grin: "If you really want to die sooner, I will just grant your wish!"

"Conan?!" The three little ones were panicked.

At this moment, Tomoaki Shinide flipped out from the window seat, stood between the tall robber and Conan, protected Conan behind him, and said sternly: "Please stop! This is just a child's prank!"

"And your demands have been met. If you kill any of the passengers now, won't your plan fail to go smoothly?!"

"What did you say?! You young brat!" The tall robber raised the muzzle of the gun, pointing it from Conan to Tomoaki Aida. Tomoaki Aida was pointed at by the gun, but he was not afraid at all and his eyes were determined.

The fat robber put down the communicator, heard the noise behind them, and walked over.

"If the bullet misses and hits that thing..." he whispered behind the tall robber.

"That's true." The robber Gao seemed to have come to his senses. He glared at them fiercely, put away his gun and walked back.

"Hey, sit back down quickly!" the fat robber shouted at them.

Conan's face looked very ugly. Although the fat robber spoke very softly, he heard it.

“That thing” could only be a bomb!

They planned to blow up everyone in the car after escaping!

But he still couldn't figure out who the robbers' accomplices were, and how they were passing information to them. If only Chiyo and Huihara could help him, with Chiyo's brainpower and Huihara's attentiveness, they would definitely notice the details he overlooked, but Chiyo said...

and many more......

It was only at this time that Conan realized that Chiyo said there was something more important, but what about Haibara?

He looked past Chiyoko and saw Little Red Riding Hood, who was wrapped tightly and trembling slightly.
