Chapter 709 Combo Skills
Release Kunio Yajima...?
This name immediately reminded Conan of the case involving Kunio Yajima.

That was during the jewelry heist last month. At the time, the naturally evil old bat next to me hadn't yet crossed over from the DC comics into the real world, and he had only heard about the jewelry heist on television.

At the time, only Kunio Yajima, the ringleader of the jewelry robbery gang, was arrested; the whereabouts of the other three members of the gang remained unknown.

The whereabouts of these three people are now self-evident.

The two hijackers in front of us were clearly two of them.

The remaining robber may or may not be in the car.

However, Conan felt that it should be in the car.

He had some understanding of the personalities of these jewelry robbers.

After all, he was a famous detective who had solved thousands of cases in less than two years since he entered high school. He had encountered far too many cases like this, and just thinking about it was enough to deduce the general reason why these people wanted to rescue Yajima Kunio.

Kunio Yajima, as the ringleader, was likely the core of the bandit gang.

The core issue is that as long as Kunio Yajima remains in prison, the bandit gang will be unable to convert their original profits into cash.

Either Kunio Yajima controlled the channels for selling the jewelry.

Either the stolen jewelry is hidden somewhere, and only Kunio Yajima knows about it.

As for these bandits, they only did this to save people because they were loyal to the cause...

This possibility was never within Conan's consideration from the beginning.

Generally speaking, people who value loyalty are unlikely to become criminals.

They often become self-proclaimed influential figures in the underworld, and wouldn't actually do this kind of thing.

What most likely motivates them to defy the rules is profit.

In that case, all we need to do is confirm whether any of the three people in the last row are members of the bandit gang.

If not, they can make any noise they want.

Lure the bandit gang members over, then just start fighting.

Conan glanced back.

He was observing the three people in the last row.

First, there was the middle-aged woman chewing bubble gum, then the middle-aged man wearing a hearing aid, and finally the young man in regular clothes wearing a mask.

This young man looks... there's a strange sense of déjà vu.

She wore a light blue shirt and dark brown trousers, with a bulging shoulder bag around her waist, as if it contained some magical little gadget that could easily open people's hearts.

Just looking at it gives you a sense of danger.

If one of the three people is an accomplice of the bandits.

So the most likely candidate is the young man in regular clothes.

After a moment's thought, Conan decided to give him a try.

This experiment is very simple.

He only needs to be in a position where he can be seen by three people in the last row.

Take the portable phone out of your pocket.

Then, observe whether the two carjackers standing at the very front, who have no view of the situation, know that he has taken out a portable phone.

Before taking action, Conan turned to look at Chen En, seemingly seeking Chen En's opinion.

The Night Knight from Beika Town simply nodded slightly.

It's as if he's saying he'll cover for Conan in this incident, letting him go ahead and do it.

Although Conan always felt that Chen En was usually a bit unreliable.

However, it must be said that in dangerous situations, Chen En was indeed the most trustworthy person on this bus.

Of course, Dr. Agasa is also trustworthy.

But relying on Professor Agasa to cover for you is less reliable than hoping for Ai Haibara to step in and help.

Conan quietly reached into his pocket. He slowly took out a portable phone from his pocket.

Then hang the headphone cord towards your ears.

The carjackers, who had no idea what was happening here, suddenly turned to look at Conan's position.

He walked towards them with an angry expression.

That's all I saw.

The passengers on the bus immediately realized that there really were carjackers in the last row.

They possess extraordinary reasoning and observational skills.

Aside from the members of the Junior Detective League and Professor Agasa, who were caught off guard.

Everyone else had already quickly made preparations to deal with the situation.

Calvados, sitting in the last row, turned pale.

His gaze lingered between the person wearing a hearing aid and the middle-aged woman blowing bubble gum next to him.

Finally, their gaze settled on the older woman.

It was just a little trick by Conan.

At most, this proves that one of the two people in the last row was a member of the carjackers.

However, he had no way of confirming which one it was.

Given the limited environment here, he couldn't possibly kill both of them as the Black Organization typically did.

Therefore, he can only choose one of them as his attack target.

Given the choice between the two, he chose the old lady blowing bubble gum.

For no other reason than that he disliked this older woman the most!
The gold watch group members' gazes then fell on the middle-aged woman blowing bubble gum.

He had been observing the subtle movements of the people in the row behind him.

Just as Conan took out his phone, neither the mysterious man in casual clothes and the person wearing a hearing aid made any subtle movements.

Only the old lady blowing bubble gum is different.

This old lady had only been chewing bubble gum before, but as soon as Conan took out his phone, she immediately started blowing bubble gum and intentionally popped it.

He then gently pulled at the bubble gum in Conan's direction, undoubtedly using the bus's rearview mirror to alert the other robbers that someone was trying to contact the outside world...

She was definitely the real inside agent.

Just as the robber angrily walked towards Conan, Judy stretched out her leg and tripped her.

The robber instantly lost his balance.

He fell forward uncontrollably, and Sera Masumi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately sprang up and grabbed the back of the robber's collar as he fell forward.

Then he was slammed down into the air.

The pistol that was originally in the robber's hand suddenly flew out and landed next to Hondo Eisuke, who picked it up without hesitation.

He pointed his pistol at the robber standing in the front row, who immediately realized what was happening and was about to fire a shot at the driver's side as a deterrent.

However, a black shadow suddenly flew out from the seat next to him and hit his wrist.

That was a wallet.

The wallet-throwing technique he used against Hyuga Yukitoki was employed once again.

The robber's pistol immediately flew out of his hand.

He was about to reach for the pistol on the ground when Kuvatro appeared in front of him, and the robber's eyes widened.

But didn't wait for him to react.

Kuvatro immediately grabbed him by the collar and slammed him to the ground, instantly disabling his fighting ability and rendering him unconscious.

The middle-aged woman behind her immediately changed her expression.
