Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 167 Rum is captured
A crossroads not far from the municipal building.

Yasuteru Domon sat in the car with lingering fear. He stuck his head out of the window and looked at the building that looked like it had been blown up during a demolition project. For a moment, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Luckily there's a traffic jam..." he muttered to himself.

If the car had been driving a little faster, I would have been crushed into a pulp by now, right?
However, Domon Yasuhira's father, Domon Akinobu, who was sitting in the back seat, said angrily, "It must be those guys again!"

The last assassination attempt at Mika Park failed, and now they've changed to bombing a building...

And what was blown up was the Rice Flower Municipal Building!

It’s so lawless!
"We must find out who is the mastermind behind this!" Domon Akinobu spat.

There were only a few candidates, and he didn't believe that he couldn't find out the truth with his connections and status.

Then, he finished speaking.

"Sir, I just received news that fifteen minutes before we arrived here, the staff in the municipal building had already been evacuated by a silver-haired young man, so there are no casualties at the moment." The secretary put down the phone in his hand and reported to him.

"Silver-haired young man?"

Domon Akinobu scratched his hair and then became thoughtful.

……

Alarm bells rang everywhere on the streets.

Firefighters rushed to the explosion site one after another.

Reporters from major local TV stations also set up their equipment at the first opportunity and began broadcasting this "terrorist attack" that shocked the entire country.

"It is now November 5th, 10:50 in the morning. Just 20 minutes ago, an outlaw detonated a bomb, causing the Mihua Municipal Building to collapse in all directions. The specific casualties are currently being counted..."

……

same moment.

After dealing with the FBI for nearly an hour, Rum had already boarded a taxi that he had arranged on the roadside in advance and quickly left the scene.

Looking back through the rear window at the thick smoke rising into the sky, Rum thought for a moment, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hey... Master, Gin was probably caught three days ago, and his life or death is unknown. I suspect he is Akai Shuichi in disguise..."

Shuichi Akai is not dead.

This was the conclusion he came to immediately after seeing "Xia He" in the van.

In addition, he just received a call from his informant, saying that "Gin" appeared in the municipal building and evacuated the people inside in advance...

Stop joking, how could Gin do something like this?

So it was obvious that there was only one truth left - Gin was indeed killed by Kaito Kid on the helicopter that day.

Afterwards, Kaito Kid, also known as Sakuno Natsuwa, disguised himself as Gin and asked him to meet. He set a trap under the pretext of identifying the body and teamed up with the FBI to arrest him...

However, he did not expect that he had already placed the bomb in advance and took all the citizens of Beika Town as hostages.

I can only say that in terms of IQ, the other party was ultimately crushed by me.

He thought with great pride.

Little did he know that what crushed his opponent was not his IQ, but his moral bottom line which was so low as to be almost negligible.

"I have escaped the FBI's pursuit. I want to report everything that happened recently to you in person... Is it convenient for us to meet? Okay, sir, I will arrive on time at this time tomorrow."

After saying this, he waited until the other party hung up the phone before putting the phone back into his coat pocket.

Almost an hour later, Rum parked the taxi in an inconspicuous alley.

He then took off his disguise, revealing his bald head, and took off his eyepatch, exposing his left eye, which had been closed for a long time.

Unlike his right eye, the pupil of his left eye seemed to have no focus. At first glance, it looked like a prosthetic eye, which was really scary.

"Hello, is anyone there? Answer as soon as you hear me."

He tried to speak a few more words on the voice channel, but still no one answered him. Rum took off the headset and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road.

Have Bourbon and Chianti also been in trouble?

He narrowed his right eye.

That damn Akai Shuichi, and Sakuno Natsuwa...

After this storm has passed, he will definitely ask his master to bring more men over to take revenge on these two guys.

In my mind, I solemnly outlined the revenge plan for the future.

Unexpectedly, not long after he turned out of the alley and had not had time to reach the Shinkansen station, a man wearing a peaked cap suddenly appeared behind him, pressed a sharp weapon against his lower back, and whispered, "Don't move."

"Huh?" Rum opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Then, after thinking for about five seconds, he replied: "Robbery? You can take the money in my pocket as long as you don't hurt me."

After he finished speaking, the man in the baseball cap slowly reached his hand into Rum's clothes.

But before he could even try to figure out what was going on, Rum suddenly elbowed him hard in the chest.

Feeling the pain, the man in the baseball cap leaned back a few steps.

Rum took this opportunity to pull out the pistol from his waist.

boom!
Gunfire rang out.

A pool of blood appeared on Rum's arm.

It’s not that his bullet can turn, but the sniper who was ambushing nearby, Wakasa Rumi, had already pulled the trigger the moment Rum raised his gun.

This sudden scene scared the passers-by around and they all retreated away.

Only the man in the baseball cap, Shinichi Kudo, who had just been knocked away by Rum's elbow, came over and immediately pinned the struggling Rum to the spot.

"Ahem...really, why do you have to let me do this kind of hard work?"

As a detective, isn't it just about staying back and using your brain?
the other side.

"Police are doing this, please forgive me."

Judy and Andre walked towards the crowd and supervised some people who took out their mobile phones to record the video out of curiosity and made them delete the video.

After doing all this, Judy made sure that the news was temporarily blocked, and then she and Shinichi escorted Rum to a nanny car.

"Hurry up, search for the cell phone on him and try what Xia He said." Judy continued.

Shinichi did as he was told. After searching for Rum's smartphone, he said to the screen, "Noah, are you there? I'm Xia He's best friend, Kudo Shinichi. Could you please tell me the content of the previous calls or text messages on this phone?"

The car suddenly became quiet.

Half a minute later, Noah's Ark's voice sounded: "An hour ago, he spoke to a man named 'Master' on the phone. He first informed the other party that Akai Shuichi was still alive and that he speculated that Sakuno Natsuwa was Kaito Kid. Then the two parties agreed to meet at the rooftop restaurant of the Wilk Building in 24 hours."

Rum:? ? ?
