The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

He can observe everyone's movements, and can immediately alert his accomplices that this guy must be in the back row, in a position where he can naturally observe the overall situation.

Moreover, this person must have a means of communicating with his accomplices without drawing attention to others.

The secret code was most likely visual. The two gangsters walked back and forth in the car, scolding each other from time to time, and holding such a big Tangze in their hands. It was too difficult to distinguish the secret code in the back row by hearing. .

The uncle wearing a hearing aid might have been able to transmit the sound signal through monitoring, but neither of the two guys were wearing headphones, nor did they take out their devices to listen.

Then, it seems that only...

Conan focused his attention on the woman in the last row who kept chewing bubble gum, and the two people in suits on the right rear who had been very silent since getting on the bus.

Souhisa Iwai, who was disguised as Shuichi Akai, was directly passed by him.

This is Tang Ze's friend. Although he is not familiar with him, no matter how outrageous he is, he will not be related to the robber.

The presence of the two people wearing sunglasses has always been low. Although they got on the bus at the same stop, they have been very quiet since getting on the bus.

Take another look...

————

While waiting for Kunio Yajima, the bus, which had been maintaining its speed, gradually became quiet.

Karasawa, as he reminded himself, after his hands and feet were tied up by two people with zip ties on his ski bag, they used them as a human shield to block the gunfire, and always stood facing the car window.

Naturally, Karasawa and Asai Narimi in disguise looked at each other, and smiled at the latter's helpless eyes.

Even though the onion people in this car are very calm now, they are actually very undercurrent.

However, what was slightly insulting was that their suspicious eyes were flying back and forth, constantly speculating on each other's identities, and the focus of the confrontation was not on the arrogant robbers.

Basically, they all acquiesced. The moment Tangze stepped forward and took the initiative to become a hostage, it meant that the robbers no longer needed to worry about them, and they could safely and boldly enter the exciting spy battle.

Belmod also politely observed his condition and confirmed that he was indeed very calm and collected, and even felt a little bored, before he completely relaxed and concentrated on dealing with Judy who was holding on to her.

The other onions, who knew very well what Tang Ze had done in various crisis situations, no longer gave the robbers any extra looks.

Toru Amuro glanced at the sharp blade that flashed across Karasawa's fingertips, shook his head, expressed a self-mockery at himself for worrying about Karasawa, and then stared at Judy intently.

...Of course, there is also that guy named Sohisa Iwai.

That he would also appear here, on Karasawa's invitation list, was the first surprise Amuro Toru felt today.

After meeting him twice and becoming suspicious of him twice, the police, who trusted their instincts and took strong actions, quickly launched an investigation into his identity.

It is indeed the same as what Karasawa said. This is a guy who has been in the Yakuza. His main job is to provide modified special firearms to some people on the road. To put it bluntly, he is to convert some air guns and rubber guns that do not cause harm. Things like bullets can be modified into weapons with certain power.

He quit his job a few years ago and opened a model shop, no longer involved in those gray area affairs. However, the gangsters who knew his skills refused to let him go, causing him a lot of trouble.

These background experiences are completely consistent with what Karasawa said. His Yakuza background and special technical abilities are also consistent with the first impression Iwai Munehisa gives...

But Toru Amuro still felt that something was not right.

The life history is complete, the background is detailed, and there are no logical problems. The experience of the Ji Dao can also fully explain why there are gaps and fragmentation in his life trajectory. This is indeed a major turning point that can change his life.

But the Muddy Society is a gang associated with the organization. As a small group subordinate to them, if they want to catch someone who has washed their hands in a golden basin, why don't they want to go directly through the organization's channels to get some real black guns? ?

The minions of the organization are rooted in the country, using the network they have organized to infiltrate step by step, causing various social problems. This is the reason why there are undercover agents like him.

The black guns that passed through their hands could frequently appear in various murder cases. It makes no sense that a younger brother who is directly related to them would insist on using legal models to transform them.

Why, they also want to engage in industrial upgrading, trying to get rid of the channel constraints of their superiors and master core technologies? It’s funny, why do you want to do this if you are so motivated?

In short, even if he obtained a complete set of information about Iwai Munehisa, he still could not trust this guy and was suspicious of his purpose of getting close to Karasawa and then getting in touch with Karasawa's network.

Withdrawing his vague gaze towards the background, he looked at the back of Judy's head and began to think about how to find out her true identity and how to follow her clues to find Akai Shuichi's whereabouts.

This woman's target is Belmod, so who is the FBI who is most likely to provide intelligence and understand the current situation of the organization best, and who will be sent to carry out such a task?

Akai Shuichi, who was on his mind, was paying attention to Belmod's direction and making an assessment.

The preliminary investigation results have been confirmed, and the purpose of Belmod's stay in Japan has been very clear.

This is the only member of their organization who has clear identity information and conclusive evidence of crime. Because the news was accidentally leaked during the investigation, Belmode heard the news first and left the United States and came to Japan.

Thinking of everything that happened after that, Akai Shuichi lowered his eyes.

There are also organized spies in the FBI. This is the conclusion that can be drawn from this series of painful events. It is also the reason why Shuichi Akai insists on concealing Karasawa's true identity and refuses to report his relationship with Kumel to his superiors. The reason for bringing members other than Judy and Kamel into contact with Karasawa.

Tangze did everything he could. He protected their sisters well, protected himself well, and chose a more difficult path.

What I can do is to support him as much as possible, and pass on that protective feeling as a comrade-in-arms and as a family member.

"Xiaolan..." Lingmu Sonoko touched her best friend's cold palm, and immediately suppressed her crying, and turned to wrap her thin palm in her palm, "We will be fine, don't be afraid."

She watched Tang Ze being dragged by the other party's hand as if he were dead. She couldn't help but feel the fear in her heart and wanted to talk to her best friend.

However, when she realized that the other person might also be scared, she suddenly gained some strength.

"Garden." Mao Lilan took a deep breath, her hands and feet trembling a little. She stared at her friend who was being held hostage, and couldn't help but clenched her fists, secretly gathering strength.

Tangze had saved her, more than once.

When Tangze was in danger, she could do something for him.

Wasn't that what happened last time? Didn't she do it last time?

Although she wasn't the only one last time, there was also Officer Sato and Conan assisting, but it's the same this time! In addition to the two of them, there were so many Tang Ze's friends in the car!

She can do it, she can do it...!

Unknown to her, her best friend was secretly encouraging her. She began to try to stabilize her emotions and look for the right moment to take action. Suzuki Sonoko held her arm and now felt very speechless.

Really, why do things like this always surround them? Even though this trip has just begun, they only did two things in total, meet up and get in the car...

Kudo's guy has disappeared, so why are these accidents and accidents still haunting them? It must be that kid's ghost that's lingering around, causing them to be infected!

"Sneeze—" Conan sneezed slightly, and the notebook in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, causing Haihara Ai, who was sitting next to him, to look sideways.

"You are not infected by the doctor, are you, Kudo?" He tightened his hood and glanced at Tangze's position. Haibara huddled in the corner and said in a low voice.

"I didn't..." Conan, who bent down to pick up the book and retorted halfway, realized something and quickly glanced in the direction of the back row with the corner of his eye.

The two men in black didn't react at all. They just moved closer to each other and seemed to be talking about something. The bubbles on Tomino Miharu's mouth were constantly blown up and down by her, and they burst with a "pop".

As if she was dissatisfied that she didn't control the extent well, she frowned and raised her hand to pull off the tough candy strands that were stuck to the corner of her mouth after breaking.

The next second, the tall robber strode up to them and shouted at Conan and Haiyuan: "What are you two muttering about!"

"I, I just dropped my things." Conan calmed down after coming to the conclusion. Facing this obviously overly excited and red-faced robber, he also felt like a child and shrank in pretending to be afraid. "I'll pick it up..."

He roughly grabbed the notebook from his hand and flipped through it. When he saw that there were only some scribbles on it, the man snorted and threw the things back.

Mao Lilan, who was sitting in the front row of them, glanced at the man's legs leaning against her armrest with her peripheral vision and gritted her teeth.

Wait a minute, Tang Ze is still in the hands of the fat man in front, so he has to find a gap where both of them can relax...

Judy also glanced back, and then looked at Tang Ze who seemed to be standing still, but moving his feet slightly, as if he was using something to cut the restraints on his feet, and narrowed his eyes.

Tang Ze would not leave such a car full of highly armed personnel unused and engage in a one-on-one fight. Based on her guess, Tangze will definitely give timely reminders...

Just as she was thinking about it, a series of regular percussion sounds entered her ears. Judy tilted her head, and happened to see the person sitting behind Tangze, who seemed to be impatient with waiting, and tapped with his fingertips. Soon he started tapping on the armrest.

Almost instinctively, everyone immersed in the intrigue and intelligence war was immediately attracted by the sound of this pattern and listened carefully.

Apart from them, the only one who also noticed something was Conan, who was thinking hard about how to tell his findings.

He listened for a moment, his eyes lit up slightly, and his expression gradually became strange.

What this sentence means is...

Forget it, since there is someone else who can understand Morse code, he doesn't have to worry about the problem of message transmission.

He took out the ballpoint pen pinned to the notebook and quickly pressed the button on the end of the pen to flick the refill with his thumb, and the spring made a crisp sound.

……what?

The tall robber who was standing next to them frowned and glanced at the little boy who suddenly made a disturbing noise. When he saw that the other person put away his pen with knowledge, he snorted and looked forward again, looking at the last one. Miharu Tomino of platoon.

After a few more minutes, the only noise in the quiet car could be heard was the noise of the engine and the resonance of the floorboards during driving, and everything seemed to slowly solidify.

Until a bell broke the silence.

"Jingle Bell--"

The fat man who finally got the call raised his eyebrows and took out his cell phone to answer the call.

"I've been kept waiting for a long time, Mr. Yajima." After answering the phone, the fat man pulled Karasawa forward again, blocked himself again, and then said into the receiver, "How is the situation over there?"

"It's not a big problem, but there are still police officers following me." Kunio Yajima, who had regained his freedom, stood in a public phone booth, looked at the direction he came from, and sneered, "There are two or three kittens, everything is fine."

"Okay, see you at the same place in three days!"

Having achieved his goal, the fat man laughed heartily, put away his mobile phone again, and finally turned the gun that was always on Tang Ze's back: "Hurry up! Turn right ahead, go to the Capital Expressway, and take the Central Road!"

Kamel glanced at the rearview mirror, slowly shifted gears, turned, and began to change direction according to his instructions.

"Don't worry, the police keep their word, and we will let you leave according to the agreed terms." With a nasty smile, the tall man walked to the center of the carriage and began to look for a suitable scapegoat.

There was no one in the car with a particularly similar body shape to them. The driver was okay, but it was impossible to drag the driver off to change clothes.

Well, give priority to taller men...

His eyes suddenly turned to Shuichi Akai, who was holding a lollipop in his mouth, and Toru Amuro, who was leaning against the sleeping person with his arms folded. The two nodded to each other, prepared to threaten each other with guns, stood up, and came over to complete the costume change with them.

"Ahem -" At this moment, Tang Ze made a very deliberate sound of clearing his throat.

The next moment, a familiar cell phone ringtone rang from the tall man.

This is Tang Ze's mobile phone. It has recently been replaced with light and melodious piano music, and the atmosphere is suddenly interrupted by this sound.

The tall man frowned.

When collecting the mobile phones, he didn't have time to unlock and turn them off one by one, and it was inconvenient to do so while wearing ski gloves. It was not surprising that there would be calls... Really, smartphones are troublesome...

Before the man could find the location where the cell phone happened, seven or eight ringtones rang simultaneously in the next second. The violent vibration and noise made him almost instinctively raise his hands to cover his ears.

"squeak--"

Kamel, who was in the driver's seat, stepped on the brakes without hesitation and locked the wheels directly.

The car had already entered the entrance of the expressway and started to accelerate gradually to 80 yards. Suddenly, the car was suddenly stepped on the brakes, and the direction immediately became unstable. The huge force instantly knocked out the only two people standing in the car. The guy stumbled a bit.

With a strong movement of his wrists and ankles, the rope that was connected by only a thin thread collapsed. Tangze, who was well prepared, kicked the ground hard, grabbed the armrest next to him, and kicked the gun away from the fat man's hand with a lift of his leg. .

"Drink——!" Mao Lilan, who had been preparing for a few minutes, grabbed the handle on the seat cushion in front of him without thinking, raised his leg and kicked the tall man in the back.

She had been staring at the two guys walking back and forth for more than ten minutes, her eyelids were numb, and the sounds in her ears were far away.

At the moment when they lost their balance, she kicked out without thinking.

Before Tomino Meiqing, who was shocked by the sudden turn of events, could react, Shuichi Akai, who was sitting next to her, suddenly got angry and hooked his arm around her neck, lifting her up and slamming her to the ground.

Judy, who had been waiting for a long time, ignored the car that was still spinning, stood up and stepped on the woman's wrist. The thin high heel plunged directly into the wooden ground with fierce force, like a nail, pinning her hand. The watch on it was nailed in place.

Mao Lilan, who kicked out like a cannonball, directly stepped on the tall man's back, and his joints burst out with explosive force, kicking the man directly to the ground.

Narumi Asai quickly caught the pistol kicked out by Karasawa. He looked up and saw Karasawa punching the opponent in the throat, and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

He knew Tangze's strength.

If you go down now, it doesn't seem to be much different from hanging yourself directly, right?

He threw himself heavily on the tall man on the ground. When he saw that his companion was actually being pinched by the neck by Tang Ze, he lifted his feet off the ground briefly. He ignored the severe pain all over his body and tried to lift the gun in a panic.

Then, he desperately discovered that his trigger seemed to be rusty, and no matter how hard he tried, it would not move at all.

how come……!

"The Tokarev is a pistol with a very simple structure." Judy, who stepped on Tomino Miharu's wrist and made her scream, turned around and snorted, "Just move the hammer of the gun. , the safety device will activate. This is common sense."

"Common sense..." Suzuki Sonoko, who was shocked by the series of sudden changes and whose heart was beating wildly and was thrown around by the car, repeated in confusion, clutching her chest.

"I'm an American." Judy smiled as she moved her wrist.

Karasawa is indeed a master of lying. No wonder he wanted to fabricate a background for Akechi Goro to return from the United States.

What a useful excuse.

"Choose such a cheap gun to rob a car... I said, you guys used bombs to rob a jewelry store, could it be because you couldn't buy a gun?" Tangze stepped on the unconscious fat man and raised his head. , said sarcastically, "Before committing a crime, can you do the minimum homework?"

For example, don't hijack cars randomly in Miwa Town, as it is very likely that you will become a subject of police academy exercises and undercover training material.
