Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 517 It's that woman!
The female kidnapper sneered. Professor Agasa's actions reassured her considerably. Ignoring Anya, she turned to look at Shuichi Akai, the very man who had tripped her accomplice.

She gripped her pistol and pointed it at Shuichi Akai: "Don't think I didn't notice your little trick just now. I want to see just how good the Metropolitan Police Department's best fighter really is!"

Akai Shuichi: "."

Judy shouldn't have saved that little girl. In this situation, if she hadn't intervened, things probably wouldn't have turned out well.

But if he subdues the kidnappers, he will definitely be taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning. Someone like him, who can't even produce a driver's license, will definitely be locked up and deported back to his country.

This scene left the three little ones, including Conan, dumbfounded.

Anya is really brave!

"Hey, Conan, quickly use your watch-shaped tranquilizer dart on that woman!"

Professor Agasa was rambling on and on with his head down. If that guy with the cold died, and they had even seen the kidnappers' faces, the kidnappers would definitely not let them go.

"it's useless."

Conan shook his head with a serious expression. There was only one tranquilizer dart left. It could knock out this woman, but what about the man in front of her? That man also had a pistol, and there was nothing around to kick. Even if there were, the kidnappers wouldn't give him a second chance.

More importantly, Ai Haibara said that there might be members of the Black Organization on this vehicle!

No, it’s not possible, it’s certain!
Judging from Ai Haibara's state, this is definitely a genuine codename member. Only a codename member can give Ai Haibara this kind of pressure, just like at Director Sakamaki's memorial service.

Is it Gin?

If he shows too much, will Gin remember that he was the one who tracked him down in the suburbs of Nishitama City?

While Joel was able to escape a truck crash, he was primarily a detective who relied on his brain; he didn't possess that kind of skill.

Who could it be: the man with a cold, the elderly man with hearing impairment, or perhaps Judy or Ms. Shinichi?
Based on Judy's actions in rescuing Anya and his prior knowledge of her, the other party was undoubtedly a police officer.

The man with the cold is less suspicious; at least his act of tripping the kidnapper earlier gave him a positive impression.

I heard what Dr. Shinichi said from Uncle Kogoro. He and Natsukawa know each other, so the possibility is very low. That leaves only the old man with hearing impairment.

But something was wrong, because the elderly man with hearing impairment was already on the bus before they got on.

Well, let's just take it one step at a time. It's just Ai Haibara's premonition; there are many things that can't actually be proven.

"Ms. Judy!"

Conan frantically gave Jodie meaningful glances, suggesting that perhaps at this point, only he and the other person could work together to take down one of them.

Of course, this is on the premise that they need to know how the bomb is detonated. If their attack alerts the other side and causes it to detonate, then they will have no chance of survival!
"Kid, what are you doing?"

The kidnappers who had taken the driver hostage noticed Conan's unusual behavior and shouted, "Sit down and don't move, or I'll shoot them dead!"

Pointing a gun at them, the three little ones huddled together unconsciously, shivering like little dogs seeking warmth.

"Ania, you're amazing."

The atmosphere was extremely tense. "Shinichi Araide," who was sitting with Judy, seemed oblivious to everything and stared at Anya, saying, "Courage is a good thing, but boasting is not advisable. It will only put us in greater danger."

"Uncle Zhongchu, you're the only man here. Why don't you go and take care of that man in front of you?"

Vermouth's lips twitched involuntarily, and she asked, "What about the woman behind her?"

"Of course, we, the Junior Detective Club, should handle it!"

Anya glanced past Ai Haibara and fixed her gaze on Conan: "Conan has a watch that can numb people."

Vermouth chuckled and shook her head, saying nothing.

How could she possibly make a move?

Her sixth sense told her to be wary; there was something about this place that made her very uncomfortable.

It could be from Judith Stairs, or it could be from the man with the cold and the old man with the hearing aid behind them.

She won't take action unless it's a certain death situation or Conan is about to die.

Anyway, she only cared about Conan on the bus; she didn't care about the lives of the others.

Especially this Anya, it would be best if she could be taken care of, because she has caused me a lot of suffering!

Anya gave the other person a disdainful look, then glanced out the window, thinking that since the phone call had been going on for quite some time, her father and Aunt Joel should be arriving at the battlefield soon.

Even if none of the cowards on the bus lift a finger, she feels safe as long as her father is there.

Their previous actions were intended to provoke Judy and the other two into taking action, but they didn't expect their patience to be so strong, especially Shuichi Akai, who remained expressionless even with a gun pointed at him, as cold and ruthless as a venomous snake in the deep forest.

There was a brief standoff on the bus. Without receiving a response from Jodie, Conan didn't dare to move.

The kidnapper in front felt his heart race. He sensed something was wrong. Putting aside the strange child, the people on the bus didn't seem nervous at all about their kidnapping of the entire bus. Especially the man with the cold, who, despite having a gun pointed at his head, kept his eyes fixed on his accomplice.

Meanwhile, outside the bus, a GTR appeared out of nowhere, closely following from an angle that the bus could not see in its rearview mirror.

"This is definitely the car."

Xia Chuan silently activated the signal jammer. When he looked up, Joel had already opened the sunroof. Seeing this, Xia Chuan sighed. He knew that Ai Haibara and Anya would be alright, but Joel didn't.

It looks like Conan probably won't have much of a chance to shine this time.

Xia Chuan shrugged helplessly, steadied the GTR, and maintained a dynamic balance between the vehicle's speed and that of the bus.

Joel had already stood on the roof of the car. If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many people out and about in this weather, her actions would definitely have attracted the attention of nearby vehicles, and then the kidnappers would have noticed her reaction.

"I'll go in through the skylight above."

Joel leaped onto the roof of the bus without making a sound. Xia Chuan swerved the steering wheel and appeared in the bus's rearview mirror. Then, with a burst of speed, he overtook the bus and came to the front.

The driver wasn't one of the kidnappers. When he saw a car suddenly appear in front of him and abruptly slow down, he instinctively slammed on the brakes out of professional habit.

"Chirp—"

The brakes screeched, and the sudden stop caused the tires to slip, making the entire bus sway from side to side like a cradle.

The driver had no control over the vehicle and could only try his best to keep the steering wheel in place to prevent it from veering off the road.

At the same time, the translucent glass on the roof of the bus shattered with a "crash," and glass shards, along with wind and snow, poured into the vehicle.

All of this happened at the same time, before anyone could react.

By the time they realized what was happening, they heard a scream mixed with the sound of shattering glass, as if someone had been thrown out of the car window due to sudden braking.

However, the broken glass did not bring any more snowstorm. After everyone steadied themselves and looked closely, they realized that the female kidnapper was facing outwards, like a wooden plug stuck in the car window.

Shuichi Akai, who was about to make a move, lowered his hand, placed one hand on the seat to steady himself, and stared intently at Joel.

He wasn't attracted by her beauty. As an FBI agent, his heart was filled with justice and the secret of his father's disappearance.

As for the rest, hehe.

He's not without beautiful women around him.

The reason I was attracted to Joel was mainly because of his speed and strength.

In that instant, he saw Joel jump down from above and kick the middle-aged woman away.

All of this happened when the bus went out of control. In such a situation, most people can't even control their own movements, let alone accurately hit someone else, especially at such a high speed, as if it were all predicted.

If it wasn't anticipation, then her reaction time is incredibly fast!
"It's that woman!"

Upon seeing Joel's face, Shuichi Akai frowned; he recognized the face.

Although it was just a photo, the results left a deep impression on him.

Although he wasn't involved in the events in the suburbs of Nishitama City, he had still read the intelligence. It was this woman in front of him who had successfully repelled the menacing black-clad organization.

I initially thought the Metropolitan Police Department was exaggerating, but now it seems there might be some truth to it.

If I remember correctly, that kid named Anya said that her aunt's name was Joel. It turns out it really was him; it wasn't just a little kid bragging.

Akai Hideaki's eyes lit up, and the idea of ​​recruiting him arose in his mind.

But the thought only crossed my mind for a moment, because it was unrealistic.

The Metropolitan Police Department's combat instructors are doing a great job, so why do they have to join the FBI and do this deadly job?

Just as he was thinking, the car gradually calmed down under the experienced driver's strong control, and the woman who had been stuck in the window had recovered.

Unlike the kidnapper who had just fallen to the ground, she clearly possessed more professional kidnapping skills. Even after being nearly crushed in the chest by Joel's kick, she still managed to stay alert and keep aiming.

The middle-aged woman pulled the trigger immediately. Not only had the other person kicked her, but she was also incredibly jealous of the other person's appearance, and she fired the gun involuntarily.

"Click, click-click-click—"

"???"

The middle-aged woman was surprised and turned the pistol over to find that the magazine was missing.

Seeing that Joel had moved again, the middle-aged woman frantically threw away her pistol, grabbed her watch, and shouted, "Don't move! There's a bomb in the bag in the middle of the aisle, and my watch is the remote control. If you dare to move again, I won't be polite!"

At this moment, Joel had already reached the kidnapper who was controlling the driver. His fist was less than ten centimeters away from the kidnapper's face. After hearing this, his fist paused, stopping almost touching the kidnapper's skin.

Looking at the fair, jade-like fist, the kidnapper in front of him had no interest in appreciating it. His wide eyes were filled with fear, and the force of the punch had already turned his face pale. Only his teammate's words were enough to wake him from this mental intimidation.

"Be honest with me!"

Enraged, the kidnapper reached out to smash Yoel with the butt of his pistol.

However, his gloved hand was stopped mid-air. The kidnapper looked closely and found that a hand was tightly gripping his wrist.

He tried to break free, but to no avail. Then a cold voice, like a command, reached his ears.

"Let go, or I can't guarantee you'll still be able to feel your arm."
