Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

These words are blunt and unvarnished.

Lin Xiuyi and Hattori Heizo exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

I never expected these thieves to be so bold as to openly try to persuade the police to surrender.

This is either extreme arrogance or the power behind it is so great that it can disregard the law.

"Shut up!" Officer Furukawa grabbed the walkie-talkie angrily. "You criminals, do you think money can buy everything? Stop the car and surrender right now! This is your last chance!"

A loud, arrogant laugh came from the other end of the walkie-talkie, sounding eerie and jarring.
"Hahaha... Last chance? Officer, you seem to have misunderstood the situation. We're in control now. Look at your car, then look at ours, who do you think has the better chance of winning?"

After a pause, the voice continued, its tone turning cold.
"Since you refuse to listen to reason, then don't blame us. This is our territory ahead; you can't catch up with us. Besides..."

"Are you sure you want to keep chasing? Think about your colleagues who are buried in the tunnel. If you go any further, you might be the next ones buried."

"You bastard!" Officer Furukawa roared.

The other party's final warning could still be heard intermittently over the walkie-talkie.

"...Think carefully, officers. Life is only once; it's not worth dying for public property."

Then, the rustling sound disappeared.

The other party cut off communication.

There was a brief silence in the car.

The image of the tunnel collapse flashed through everyone's minds, the fate of the buried police officers unknown, and all of this was done by the group in front.

"These beasts..."

Officer Furukawa uttered these words through clenched teeth, his eyes fixed on the taillights of the truck ahead.

“This won’t do,” Lin Xiuyi broke the silence. “If we go any further, the other side will definitely have backup. This abandoned port area is huge. If they hide in a warehouse or have a ship to pick them up, we’ll lose them completely. We have to finish this quickly.”

His gaze fell on the transport trucks speeding alongside him.

The two vehicles were about two meters apart at the moment. There were ladders and handles on the side of the truck bed for maintenance personnel to use.

A crazy plan took shape in Lin Xiuyi's mind.

“Officer Furukawa, move the car a little closer,” Lin Xiuyi unbuckled his seatbelt. “I’ll just jump over.”

"What?" Officer Furukawa turned his head sharply. "Are you crazy? Both cars are traveling at high speed. Jumping out of a moving vehicle is suicide!"

“This is our only chance,” Lin Xiuyi said firmly. “If I can subdue the thieves, I can get the truck to stop. Otherwise, once we get deeper into the warehouse area, we’ll have no chance.”

“I’ll go with you!” Hattori Heizo unbuckled his seatbelt as well. “The chances of success are greater with two people. Plus, I can distract the other person.”

“Alright,” Officer Furukawa gritted his teeth and turned the steering wheel. “I’ll try to get as close as possible, but you all have to be careful. If it’s too difficult, give up. Safety first!”

"clear."

The gray private car began to slowly move to the right, closing the distance with the transport truck.

Two meters, one meter... the distance between the two vehicles is constantly decreasing.

Lin Xiuyi had already leaned out of the car, one hand gripping the roof railing, ready to jump out.

However, the thieves driving the transport truck were clearly aware of the intentions behind this.

Faced with the approaching car, the thief did not dodge at all, but instead suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left.

The heavy truck veered sharply to the left and crashed directly into the private car traveling alongside it!

"Bang!" A dull and terrifying loud noise.

The sturdy side of the transport truck slammed heavily against the front right door of the private car, the sound of metal twisting and deforming was extremely jarring.

The enormous impact caused the car to shake violently, with the right wheel even briefly lifting off the ground.

If Officer Furukawa hadn't reacted quickly, swerving sharply to the right and slamming on the brakes just before the impact, the car would likely have been overturned by the impact.

Even so, the car was still veered off course by the impact, with the right front door severely dented and the windows shattered.

Officer Furukawa struggled to maintain control of the steering wheel, preventing the car from going out of control and crashing into the roadside barriers.

"Lin! Hattori! Are you alright?" Officer Furukawa asked anxiously.

Lin Xiuyi shook his somewhat dazed head. The impact had caused his head to hit the car frame, and a sharp pain shot through his forehead, but he quickly regained his senses.
"It's okay, keep going!"

Hattori Heizo was slightly better off; he was wearing a seatbelt, though it made his chest feel tight. "I'm fine too. Quick, don't let them get away!"

Ahead, after the collision, the transport truck not only did not slow down, but accelerated forward, clearly trying to create distance while the private car was damaged.

Officer Furukawa watched the taillights of the departing truck, then glanced at the determined eyes of the two young men beside him, took a deep breath, and stepped on the gas again.

The damaged car emitted an ominous noise, but stubbornly accelerated and caught up again.

This time, Officer Furukawa was even more cautious.

Instead of approaching directly from the side, he first maintained a safe distance behind and observed the truck driver's reaction patterns.

“He was wary of us getting too close,” Hattori Heizo analyzed. “Every time we accelerated slightly, he would subtly adjust the direction to maintain a safe distance.”

“Then let him lower his guard,” Lin Xiuyi said. “Officer Furukawa, pretend to give up getting close and stay about 30 meters behind. Then suddenly accelerate and overtake from the right, but don’t drive alongside, just lead by about half a car length.”

"When his attention is drawn to your overtaking maneuver, I will jump over from the left."

"From the left?" Officer Furukawa asked, puzzled. "The left side is farther away, and there's no escalator..."

“Because there is no escalator, he will not be on guard,” Lin Xiuyi explained. “Moreover, I calculated that if he jumps from the left side, the landing point will be the maintenance platform at the front of the carriage, where there is a railing to grab onto.”

This is a riskier plan, but surprise often yields remarkable results.

Officer Furukawa didn't ask any further questions; he chose to trust Hayashi Hideichi's judgment.

He slowed down and kept a distance of about thirty meters from the truck, following it for about a minute.

Ahead, the road begins to narrow, and the abandoned warehouses on both sides become more densely packed.

Clearly, they are entering the core area of ​​the port district. Time is running out.

It's now!

Officer Furukawa slammed on the gas pedal, and the car shot off like an arrow, quickly closing the distance.

He overtook from the right lane and soon found himself alongside the truck's cab.

The thieves in the truck were clearly drawn to the sudden overtaking maneuver.

He saw a private car accelerating towards him from the right and instinctively adjusted his direction slightly to the right to prevent the other car from suddenly changing lanes and forcing him to stop.

Just then, Lin Xiuyi opened the left-side car door.

He leaned half his body out of the truck, his gaze fixed on the small maintenance platform at the front of the truck bed… (End of Chapter)
