Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

Lupin III, this comedic character always manages to pull off some bizarre and unexpected moves...

"Alright, I'm warning you, don't come near me, handsome."

Seeing Lin Jiashu still smiling without any sign of tension, Lupin III figured he was up to no good, so he pointed his gun at the hostage's head and said cheerfully:

"I don't want to guess what trouble you've set up for me this time, so please don't do anything."

"……All right."

Lin Jiashu smiled and raised his hands.

Chapter 478: Just for the sake of you taking me for a drive to change my mood

Lin Jiashu smiled and raised his hands to indicate that he couldn't do anything.

Lupin raised an eyebrow as he pointed a gun at the hostage's head.

His somewhat comical monkey face broke into a sly grin as he loudly proclaimed, "Sorry, I'm still a little worried, so... hey kid, could you please stop aiming that watch at me?"

He said this to Conan, who was standing next to him with a serious expression, aiming his watch at him with the watch cover on his wrist.

Conan remained unmoved.

Then Lupin III added, "Give that handsome guy over there a shot, otherwise, I might just shoot this hostage."

"..."

Conan narrowed his eyes and looked at Yoshiki Hayashi.

Lin Jiashu looked at him and said with a smile, "You're not really going to use an anesthetic on me, are you? I can't handle a dose that could knock out an elephant."

"how is this possible?"

Conan immediately denied it, then turned to Lupin and said, "Don't be so sure of yourself, Lupin."

"..."

That's where the trouble lies.

Everyone assumed he wouldn't shoot the hostages, which made his actions seem completely ineffective.

Lupin complained inwardly.

However, he still doesn't feel any tension about the current situation.

Anyway, we have the ore in hand, and we also have this hostage who isn't really suitable to be used as a hostage...

It's getting late.

"How about we each compromise, let me take my things and leave, and then we can all go home?"

He tentatively took a step back.

But Amuro Tooru and other Public Security personnel immediately took a step closer.

“You can leave.” Amuro Tooru’s gaze was fixed on the briefcase that Lupin had tucked under his arm. “But the things have to stay.”

"Are you kidding me? This thing is still considered an unclaimed item. Can the Japanese Public Security Bureau really reach this far?"

"But you are standing on your own country's territory now. You have brought dangerous items that may endanger international peace into Japanese territory without permission. Of course, we have the right to supervise and confiscate them!"

Amuro Tooru even kept closing in.

He was determined to get his hands on the ore from Vesbania.

Lupin III immediately looked helpless.

At this moment, Lin Jiashu, who was still raising his hands in a gesture of surrender, glanced at the time on his watch. Lupin noticed his movement and immediately became alert... Meanwhile, in the hangar, the blond man, Alan Smith, who had been watching the play for a long time, finally became a little impatient.

He secretly issued the instructions for the operation.

Soon, several searchlights lit up in the distance of the empty maintenance yard, illuminating the scene as brightly as day.

Several armored vehicles with machine guns mounted on their roofs stormed into the scene and opened fire indiscriminately on what lay ahead.

Lin Jiashu immediately retreated and hid behind cover.

Lupin complained in frustration, shoving the hostage away and rolling to the side.

Amuro Tooru, along with his Public Security officers and Jodie and others, immediately retaliated and scattered.

boom!boom!

Da da da da da!

The bullets that flew into the air immediately created a frosted effect on the windshield of the armored vehicle, but the machine guns on top of the armored vehicle fired a barrage of chain-gun-like bullets that easily tore through the asphalt road, sweeping outwards with terrifying noise.

Daisuke Jigen, who also leaped away to escape, fired two shots while dodging.

Amid the gunfire, two gunmen in armored vehicles were shot in the forehead and died instantly, abruptly halting the intense offensive.

Just as Daisuke Jigen was about to fire at the gunman on another armored vehicle, he raised his gun only to see his target's brainstem pierced by the same bullet—

"Wow, you're quite capable."

He looked at Amuro Tooru, who had made the move.

However, Alan Smith arranged for more than just this number of people.

The next moment, one of the armed bandits even pulled a rocket launcher out of the car and set it on fire in front of the hangar.

The rocket, trailing a plume of flame, hurtled towards the old car parked in front of the hangar with terrifying force, landing with a deafening boom.

Orange flames and deafening impact surged in all directions, and pieces of asphalt road flew out in all directions.

Even though Lin Jiashu was hiding behind cover, he could feel the heat and impact in the air, and many pieces of road debris flew up to his feet... He looked around in silence, and then saw two more armored vehicles rushing over in the distance.

But Ishikawa Goemon, Lupin's other accomplice who had been watching from a high place—above the hangar—finally made his move.

With a few leaps, he jumped down from the upper level of the hangar, which made his legs weak, and drew his gleaming katana to face the armored vehicles and the dense hail of bullets.

What followed was a scene that was enough to shatter everyone's worldview.

With only a katana, Ishikawa Goemon broke through the enemy's machine gun barrage, and then used the katana to slash through the armored vehicle and the clothes of the enemies inside.

"You're definitely more reliable than Jigen, Uemon!"

Lupin, who had just pounced on the ground, immediately got up and laughed as he saw this.

"Another bunch of unnecessary things were cut off."

The latter lowered his eyelids, as if he were sighing.

Hayashi Yoshiki stared intently at Ishikawa Goemon.

This guy becomes a true game-changer once he has a knife in his hand.

Even Makoto Kyogoku, who is considered a bug in the world of Detective Conan, cannot compare to him at all. He is a miracle that cannot be replicated. To compare him with his swordsmanship, which can cut through iron like mud and even split airplanes and satellites, one would have to hone his skills to the point where he can use karate to generate energy blasts.

Unfortunately, this guy is in cahoots with Lupin III.

With Lupin III around, it's safe to say that Lin Jiashu's idea of ​​using him as a tool is completely eliminated... Most importantly, Lin Jiashu doesn't know Lupin III's real name or appearance; his comical monkey face is actually just a mask.

Just as everyone was breathing a sigh of relief at the current situation,

boom!

A gunshot rang out, followed by Conan's scream of pain.

Everyone immediately turned to look, and saw that Conan's arm had been hit by a bullet. As he cried out in pain and covered his wound in cold sweat, a figure quickly approached and scooped him up.

"asshole!"

Daisuke Jigen was about to raise his gun and fire immediately, but was immediately stopped by a shout:

"Don't move!"

The blond man in the suit, Alan Smith, pressed a gun against Conan's forehead: "If you want to shoot me, then shoot. But even if my head is pierced, I will still pull the trigger..."

He said this while looking around.

Whether it was the annoyed Daisuke Jigen, or Yoshiki Hayashi whose expression had clearly become tense... as well as the FBI agents and Lupin III and his group, Alan Smith took in the reactions of this group and laughed.

He had been secretly observing them since earlier.

Among the group of people present, this little devil who didn't look like a child at all was undoubtedly the most special.

Not only does he have connections with the FBI, but Lupin III and his gang also seem to be playing along with him... As for the detective named Yoshiki Hayashi who arrived later, Alan Smith didn't know his true strength, but just by looking at how wary Lupin was of him earlier, he knew that he was no ordinary person.

But it's okay.

The other side was also very nervous about the hostages they held.

They're Japanese Public Security personnel...

Alan Smith looked at the man whose face was completely covered, clearly the leader of the team for this operation, and silently waited for his move.

"...Put your guns down first."

Amuro Tooru frowned. He looked at Conan, who had been kidnapped, and finally ordered his men, who were aiming their guns, to lower them.

Although they were determined to obtain the ore from Vesbania, there was no need to sacrifice a child's life if the circumstances allowed.

This child seems to be a bit special...

Amuro Tooru's eyes, hidden behind his helmet, were fixed on the kidnapped Conan with a hint of inquiry.

He had noticed Conan was different from ordinary children back in the Twilight Villa incident, and today his behavior was nothing like that of a child, even suggesting a connection to the FBI...

"Give me back the box."

Seeing that everyone was hesitant to act, Alan Smith smiled and looked directly at Lupin.

Without saying a word, the latter put the suitcase he was holding on the ground and pushed it far away.

"And then, could you please stay as far away from me as possible?"

Alan Smith didn't pick up the suitcase. Instead, he helped Conan to his feet and, realizing the group was only slowly moving backward, he roared, "Don't force me to kill this kid!!"

"Okay, okay, don't get excited!"

"Everyone back off."

After Lupin III and the police quickly moved aside, Alan Smith looked around and urged his men to come over quickly.

A subordinate in a black suit rushed over in a hurry.

Alan Smith then looked at the plane parked in the distance of the hangar and ordered through the headset on his left ear: "Pilot, can you hear me? Start the engines, we're taking off immediately."

Yes, sir.

"Take the suitcase and have someone bring the car over."

"Yes!"

His subordinate immediately picked up the briefcase, ran over, and got into the car.

As he watched Alan Smith strut towards the car with Conan on his back, Yoshiki Hayashi glanced at Luciano Canevalle, who was lying in a pool of blood in the hangar, and smiled slightly.

Originally, at this point, it should have been this Italian mafia member who ran over to ask Alan Smith what to do about the money, and then he would have carried the suitcase and boarded the plane with the latter.

But by then he was already dead.

After all, Lin Jiashu needed him to confirm the timing of wearing the gas mask in order to perform this act.

Luciano Canevalle

Cause of death: Shooting

[At 19:45 on September 23, they appeared in a hangar in an old maintenance area near Haneda Airport, preparing to conduct a transaction.]

At 20:17 PM that evening, he lost consciousness in the hangar due to the effects of tear gas.

At 20:31, he was hit by a large number of stray bullets, including three bullets to the forehead, which caused him to die on the spot.

Recalling the words he had written on the burned paper, Lin Jiashu smiled to himself, unnoticed by anyone.

"Destroy all their cars."

"Allen," Smith ordered.

Upon receiving the order, his subordinates immediately drew their guns and repeatedly pulled the triggers on the cars next to them.

Where are your cars?
