Stay away from Conan.

So, just as Gao Yuan was about to call Officer Megure to report the incident, he suddenly noticed a car driving out of the underground parking lot behind him, and it was heading in the same direction as the taxi driven by the robbers. Gao Yuan subconsciously turned around to stop the car.

Then, seeing that the black American pickup truck "Chevrolet C/K" had indeed stopped after being stopped by him, Gao Yuan hurried forward to the driver's seat and wanted to explain to the driver the robbery that had just taken place in the hospital, and hoped that the other party would take him to chase the taxi that the other party used to escape.

However, when Gao Yuan came to the driver's window, he saw the driver's face after the window was rolled down. He was an Asian man in his thirties, with distinct eyebrows and eyes, handsome and deep features, and he was wearing a black knitted hat...

"Akai Shuichi?"

Recognizing that the driver was Akai Shuichi, Gao Yuan was slightly stunned, and then he also noticed the blonde foreign woman sitting in the passenger seat...

Judy Stelling...

So the person in the hospital's inpatient department just now was...

For a moment, Gao Yuan's thoughts raced for a moment, and then he said to Akai Shuichi nervously:

"Someone just robbed the hospital payment counter. The robber just drove a taxi in this direction. Can you take me to chase the robber's car?"

  Gao Yuan spoke very quickly. After briefly explaining the situation, Akai Shuichi did not hesitate and asked directly in a cold voice:

"What's the license plate number?"

So, after Gao Yuan told Akai Shuichi the license plate number of the taxi driven by the robbers, Akai Shuichi immediately stepped on the accelerator and chased in the direction Gao Yuan pointed, with no intention of letting Gao Yuan get in the car to chase together.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan seemed to have anticipated this and guessed that if it was Akai Shuichi, he would not waste time letting himself get in the car. So, when he saw Akai Shuichi was about to speed up and chase him, Gao Yuan was quick-witted and put his hands on the fence of the back box of the loading area behind Akai Shuichi's pickup truck, then used his hands and feet to jump directly into the back box of the pickup truck.

It's a pickup truck, otherwise there's no way you could get in under these circumstances.

  However, a pickup truck is a truck and normally passengers cannot be carried in the back bed. I have not learned the specific terms of Japan's traffic regulations, but I am not driving myself anyway, and the situation is urgent now, so I can just explain it to Officer Megure. Besides, can Shuichi Akai let me get out of the car now?

So, thinking this way, Gao Yuan immediately lay down in the back of the car after getting on, taking a defensive posture to prevent himself from being injured by the inertia caused by the sudden acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.

As Gao Yuan expected, when Akai Shuichi started to accelerate and started the car, preparing to chase in the direction of the robber's escape, he knew through the rearview mirror and his own perception of the vehicle's vibration that the young man who had just stopped his car had jumped into the truck bed behind his car. As for this, Akai Shuichi really couldn't let him get out of the car under such circumstances.

Since we are going to chase the robbers' car, we naturally have to race against time.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Shuichi Akai expressed his emotions in this way. After seeing through the rearview mirror that the other party chose to lie down directly, he no longer paid attention to Gao Yuan's situation, and began to step on the accelerator without hesitation, letting the car chase out at the fastest speed as possible to chase the taxi driven by the robber mentioned by Gao Yuan.

  The whole process happened very quickly. Although Gao Yuan's action of stopping the car took about half a minute, after Akai Shuichi made his move, he chased after him at a very fast speed and soon saw the taxi with a conspicuous paint job under the night street lights from a distance. Thus, seeing the target appear in the field of vision, Judy, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could not help but look at Akai Shuichi beside her with a slightly longing look and said:

"As expected of you, Xiu! This robber is unlucky to have run into you!"

But Akai Shuichi stared at the target ahead, maintained his speed and observed the surrounding vehicles, overtaking all the way to shorten the distance between himself and the other vehicles, but his expression was always serious. He did not feel complacent about Judy's words, but said solemnly:

"Something's not right..."

"what happened?"

Hearing Akai Shuichi say this, Judy couldn't help but ask back in confusion.

  Then I heard Akai Shuichi explain:

"He robbed a hospital during this time, and then fled in a taxi... There are many taxis in Japan with different paint jobs, but the one they had was very conspicuous and brightly painted. Even at night, it was too obvious... Normally, even a camouflaged vehicle for a getaway shouldn't be so conspicuous."

"what do you mean……"

After hearing this explanation, Judy looked back at the taxi she was tracking, and thought for a moment with a serious expression. Then, she suddenly recalled Gao Yuan who mentioned this matter.

"Speaking of the robbery, we only heard the man's one-sided story. Could it be that he did it on purpose... I remember that we were in the hospital just now..."

As Judy said this, she recalled that when she was investigating why Vermouth came to the hospital, she also saw Gao Yuan's trace in the inpatient department. It seemed that he was also here to visit the same person as Vermouth.

Is it possible...

At this moment, Judy's mind became active, and she wondered if this was a conspiracy.

So, Judy whispered her doubts to Shuichi Akai, but Shuichi Akai didn't say anything about it. He just continued to chase after her even faster.

At the same time, in the cargo bed at the back of the car, Gao Yuan endured the inertia changes caused by Akai Shuichi's overtaking, acceleration, turning and other actions. After stabilizing the situation a little, Gao Yuan put his hand on the edge of the cargo bed and stood up slightly to look at the surrounding road environment, determining the direction that Akai Shuichi was tracking. Then he continued to lie down, turned on his mobile phone, and began to call Officer Megure to report the situation and keep the call going. From time to time, Gao Yuan also informed Officer Megure of the route of the other vehicle so that the police could set up a checkpoint to intercept it.

In this way, with the FBI's ace agent Shuichi Akai tracking him, and the police have already sent officers to set up checkpoints to intercept him, in this case, the robber will probably have no way to escape.

So, seeing Shuichi Akai getting closer and closer, the robber who was speeding in front finally noticed from the rearview mirror the black pickup truck that was changing lanes several times and accelerating from behind. Even if he was not paying attention, the robber knew that he was being targeted after escaping from the hospital.

However, the robber did not seem to panic in such a situation. Even though the car behind him was getting closer and closer with its superb driving skills, the robber, who was already familiar with the road conditions, decisively turned directly after passing an intersection, took several detours on the small road, and quickly drove into a remote route...
