Stay away from Conan.

Seeing that the taxi with conspicuous paint in front of him had passed a normal section of the road, Akai Hide was about to catch up with it, but it suddenly made a sharp turn and drove from the normal highway section into an alley on the side.

However, since the entrance to the alley is very narrow, only wide enough for a car body to pass through, the slightest deviation will result in hitting the walls on both sides of the alley.

But obviously, the robber driving the taxi was very familiar with this location. He turned the vehicle into this road with ease, and then continued to drive forward at a sufficient speed.

In this regard, even though Shuichi Akai drove a pickup truck and arrived at the entrance closely behind, he did not turn in immediately. Instead, he slowed down and observed the entrance for a while. Then he turned the steering wheel and turned the black pickup truck he was driving onto this road directly, while maintaining speed to chase after him.

However, even if they drove into this route, the route inside was very complicated, with many twists and turns on this small road. Although they could hear that the car was not far ahead, the other party was obviously more familiar with the road than Akai Shuichi. Therefore, after arriving here, Akai Shuichi clearly felt that he was being left behind by the car in front of him——

"You're quite good at it..."

In this regard, Shuichi Akai couldn't help but admire the robber's driving skills, but it was obvious that Shuichi Akai was not a pushover. Even though it was night and he was unfamiliar with the road and couldn't chase him with all his strength, Shuichi Akai still held on to the robber and would not let him completely escape his pursuit.

In this way, regarding the current situation, Gao Yuan naturally also realized that the route that Akai Shuichi was tracking was unusual. It seemed that he was following the robbers' vehicle and had to follow in. Since the other party chose this road to escape, it was obvious that he had planned the escape route a long time ago and was very familiar with this place, so Shuichi Akai could not catch up with him for a while.

However, circling here all the time is not a long-term solution for either Akai Shuichi or the robber, because the entire road is only wide enough for one car to pass through. If Akai Shuichi keeps chasing, the robber will have no way to stay here and can only keep driving forward. In this case...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and tried to call up the map of the area to see where the other party would go if they continued driving forward, and then asked Officer Megure and the others to block them in front.

Just like that, after looking through the map, Gao Yuan discovered that if he kept driving forward like this, it would not be a dead end in the end. Instead, he would go around this area, make a big turn, and come to a road by the river. And he didn't have to worry about splitting the road, because the next section of the road was all one-way streets. As long as the police could be faster, perhaps they could set up a checkpoint directly at the intersection where the road forked, and they would definitely be able to stop the robber's car. At that time, the robber with only a gun would definitely not be able to escape.

As a result, Gao Yuan immediately informed Officer Megure of the current situation, and also informed Officer Megure and his colleagues of the intersection suitable for interception. Officer Megure then said that he would race against time to intercept the other party there.

Then, after doing all this, Gao Yuan continued to lie down in the truck bed.

It won't be long before the vehicle drives out of this section of road. By then, the road will be smooth and Shuichi Akai will probably have to speed up and chase without caring about speed.

Therefore, in order to avoid getting hurt, it would be safer to lie down in the truck bed. After all, Akai Shuichi is in the hunt this time, so I guess even if a fight breaks out, I won't be needed...

Just as Gao Yuan was thinking this, as the vehicle drove out of this section of road, there was a road along the river in front of him, and the taxi with conspicuous paint was speeding on the road not far away, regardless of the speed limit.

Seeing this, Akai Shuichi finally saw the target directly, and the road ahead was open, so he had no scruples. As expected, as Gao Yuan expected, after driving out of this area, Akai Shuichi accelerated at full speed and turned the big turn at high speed without slowing down. The centrifugal force almost threw Gao Yuan out of the bucket, and then turned to the riverside road and chased at high speed. In this way, when Akai Shuichi was about to close the distance between the cars and catch up with the opponent, after turning at an intersection, because he just passed the fork and encountered the converging traffic, Akai Shuichi's car was blocked by the passing vehicles for a moment. Even though Akai Shuichi quickly bypassed it with his driving skills, when Akai Shuichi turned the intersection and planned to continue chasing, he saw that the taxi was parked on the side of the road, and there was no one inside——

At this time, as the sound of police sirens gathered and approached this side, police cars drove here one after another. It seemed that the police were a step too slow in intercepting the robbers' vehicle at this intersection, allowing the robbers to seize this only opportunity and successfully abandon the car and escape...

……

“According to the staff at the payment office of Mihua General Hospital, when they were about to settle and sort out the cash they had received that day, the masked robber broke in with a pistol and threatened them to put the cash into the metal box he was carrying.

"Then, just when Brother Mingzhi from the hospital heard the noise and ran out, he saw the robber getting into the taxi with the metal box and the gun and starting to run away.

"So, Brother Mingzhi stopped the car that happened to be passing by and asked this gentleman to help track down the robbers' vehicle, right?"

Since the police arrived at the scene just after they discovered that the robbers had abandoned their car and fled, Shuichi Akai naturally could not leave. He followed Judy and Takato, who were traveling with him, to accept questioning from Inspector Megure.

Just like that, based on the situation reported by the police officers from the hospital and combined with Gao Yuan's process of tracking the robbers, Inspector Megure roughly summarized the whole process.

  Hearing this, Gao Yuan nodded naturally, and then Officer Megure confirmed with Akai Shuichi:

"So... Mr. Akai, are you sure that while you were tracking the robbers' vehicle, the taxi they were driving never lost track of you?"

"When we were passing a small road, the route was complicated with many turns, so the car was not completely in my sight for a while. Apart from that, I was chasing it closely. And the other car did not stop during the journey, otherwise I would have caught up with it long ago."

Shuichi Akai responded calmly and normally to Inspector Megure's questions.

"Ah."

After hearing this, Officer Megure looked at the vehicle abandoned by the robbers and explained silently:

"So far, according to the investigation, this taxi was stolen by robbers. The criminals left behind masks, shirts, and toy guns used by the criminals. The metal suitcase containing the cash could not be found. It seems that the robbers who abandoned the car and fled took it away with them." (End of this chapter)
