Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

In the Metropolitan Police Department, the backbone of the First Investigation Division was urgently summoned to the conference room.

Megure looked serious and was the first to break the silence:

"I think everyone already knows that Yajima Kunio's accomplice took the entire train's passengers hostage and forced the police to release Yajima."

White Bird offers his own opinion:

"The criminal was willing to take risks and take hostages in order to rescue Yajima Kunio. Will they have a close relationship in real life as well?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but..."

The police chief changed the subject and continued:

"According to previous investigations, I'm afraid Yajima is the only gem broker in the criminal gang. The other accomplices probably have no knowledge of jewellery and do not know how to sell the stolen goods. It is very likely that they rescued Yajima in order to cash in the stolen goods."

In other words, even if we investigate Kunio Yajima's relatives and friends again, we may not be able to find the accomplice.

Manager Matsumoto interrupted and said:

"And the hostage-takers won't give us time to investigate slowly. If we don't release Yajima, they'll kill the hostages right away."

"Administrator, what do you mean?"

Megure asked.

Matsumoto sighed and said:

"No matter what, the priority is to ensure the safety of the hostages."

"Meet all their demands, rescue the hostages and then consider arresting the criminals."

The detectives in the room all had anger flashing in their eyes, but they had to release the criminals they had arrested with great difficulty according to the criminals' demands.

Half an hour later, inside a speeding tram.

The two prisoners, who wrapped themselves tightly, were in a good mood, and everything was going according to plan so far.

At this moment, the prisoner's cell phone in his ski suit pocket rang. He quickly took out his phone and pressed the answer button:

"Brother Yajima?"

As expected, it was Kunio Yajima calling from the shared phone booth:

"The cops didn't dare to follow me, so you guys should find a way to get away as quickly as possible."

The prisoner was grinning so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears. During this time, the communication between the bus company headquarters and the tram was not interrupted.

The gunman tilted his head towards the communication equipment:

"Since the police officers are willing to cooperate, we will keep our promise."

"Tell the police that we will release three hostages within half an hour as a sign of sincerity. After that, this tram will continue to drive towards the countryside and release several passengers every half an hour."

"As long as the police don't do anything sneaky and follow us, no hostages will die."

Kidd's fans sitting at the front of the car breathed a sigh of relief. They actually thought that these criminals would be like Kidd and would not harm themselves once their goal was achieved.

Only Lin Xuan knew how cruel these two, or to be more precise, three criminals were.

Except for the gangster who wrapped himself tightly and threatened everyone with a gun.

The woman chewing gum in the last seat of the tram was also part of the criminal gang.

By listening to their inner thoughts, Lin Xuan had a clear understanding of their plans.

The female prisoner sitting in the last row mixed in with the hostages and acted as a monitor. If any passenger secretly hid his or her mobile phone or even dared to resist, she would immediately alert her companions who were holding guns.

The gunman shut down the tram's communications with the company's headquarters and gave the driver the following order:

"Drive to the tunnel leading to the national highway!"

Another gangster, who was also wrapped tightly, placed the suitcases that the two men dragged when they got on the train on the luggage racks in the front and rear of the carriage. The boxes contained bombs that were enough to blow up the entire tram.

The prisoners never thought of releasing the hostages. Once they were in the dark tunnel, the armed prisoners took off their ski suits and forced two random passengers to wear them.

The three gangsters got off the tram as released hostages, pressed a switch to detonate the entire tram, killing all the passengers and destroying the evidence.

The scenery outside the window flew quickly backwards, and Nakamori Aoko keenly felt that the train was heading towards a point of no return.

Even though she was in Lin Xuan's arms, the detective promised to protect her.

But at the critical moment of life and death, Aoko couldn't help but think of her childhood sweetheart.

[Kaito, where are you? ]

Kuroba Kaito, who was disguised as a middle-aged uncle and walking on the streets of Beika Town, suddenly sneezed.

But Kaito Kid did not take it to heart, but prepared to tease the old grandfather of the Suzuki family according to the original plan before taking formal action.

Twenty minutes later, in order to save his life, the driver finally drove the tram into a dimly lit tunnel and stopped it aside.

The management officer was afraid that the criminals might harm the hostages, so he refused Sato's repeated requests to drive behind.

The two prisoners took off their ski suits, knitted hats, masks and sunglasses with satisfaction.

Seeing the criminal do this, the well-informed citizens of Beika Town were dumbfounded.

If we don’t know what the prisoner looks like, we may still be able to survive.

But if the criminal takes the initiative to expose his appearance to the hostage, it will be impossible to keep him alive!

A fanatical fan of Kidd, the fat woman closed her eyes and muttered to herself:

"I, I can't see your faces, please, please forgive me..."

But the prisoner gave her a loud slap in the face!

The woman was forced to open her eyes and was horrified to find that the other party was pointing a black gun at her. The prisoner ordered:

"Put on my ski suit, sunglasses and mask!"

Kidd's fan's voice was already filled with tears, and she fiddled with the corners of her clothes and begged for mercy:

"You see, I have printed the image of Mr. Kidd on my clothes. I will never tell the police, so please spare my life..."

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped again.

The prisoner sneered:

"What does your worship of Kidd have to do with me? Can that thief come to save you?"

"Hurry up and change your clothes! Otherwise I'll shoot you!"

Another armed criminal also threatened with a pistol and forced Kidd's fans sitting in the front row of the car to change into his previous outfit.

Not only will Kidd's little fangirl lose her life, but she will also be slandered as the criminal who hijacked the train after her death.

In their hearts, they hoped that the police officer would come to rescue them, and finally realized how childish and ridiculous it was to belittle the police officer in order to flatter a thief.

However, they didn't regret it until they were about to die!

The criminal in charge of surveillance stood up happily from the last row of seats. The plan went as perfect as a dream, and all the police officers were manipulated in his hands.

But it was also because the operation went too smoothly. When Lin Xuan made his move, the female prisoner was knocked away by the strengthened fist before she could react. Her body went through the rear window glass and fell into the tunnel.

One of the criminals was killed instantly by the detective.

"What a courage!"

"court death!"

Although the other two prisoners took off their disguises, their weapons never left their right hands.

However, when they pointed their guns at Lin Xuan, they did not dare to shoot.

Lin Xuan held the box that the criminal had placed on the luggage rack in front of him. The suitcase contained a bomb that could blow up the entire tram.

If the bullet accidentally hits the box, the power of the explosion can cause the prisoner to be buried with it.

[Damn, how did this kid know that the bomb was placed in the suitcase? ]
