Lupin, who had been watching the car being destroyed from a distance, turned back to look at Judy and the others.

"You think we'd drive here if we were trying to sneak up here?" Judy replied coldly.

“What should we do? If we call a helicopter now, they’ll have already escaped,” James Black said.

"Then we can only rely on the police..."

Lupin glanced cautiously at the group of police officers led by Amuro Tooru and muttered something, then suddenly looked at Hayashi Yoshiki: "I say, you must have some kind of backup plan, right?"

"Don't have such high expectations of me. There are some, but it's useless in the current situation." Lin Jiashu said, looking at his E-210W riddled with bullet holes, without feeling any heartache.

At this point, after confirming that all the cars were immobile, Alan Smith and his men decisively forced Conan into the car.

The car immediately drove toward the plane that had already started moving in the distance.

"What should we do? Should we run after them?" Judy asked anxiously.

"How would I know? I can only hope that the clever kid figures it out himself."

Lupin shrugged.

"Don't be in such a hurry, have you forgotten someone?"

"Who is it? Oh! You mean Fujiko-chan?"

Lupin's face lit up with excitement whenever Fujiko Mine was mentioned.

Indeed, that woman couldn't possibly swallow the insult of being mocked by a man. Knowing Lupin as he does, she'll probably show up soon.

"No, don't act like you know Fujiko better than I do!"

"hehe."

Lin Jiashu did not go to see him.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, the group heard the sound of a motorcycle.

As Fujiko Mine shouted "Lupin," a Harley-Davidson motorcycle quickly approached, then dramatically drifted and came to a stop in front of everyone.

"Is it resolved?"

Fujiko Mine watched the scene with amusement.

Yoshiki noticed Ai Haibara sitting in her lap and showed a surprised expression.

"Ai?"

"Humph"

When she saw that Hayashi Yoshiki was also there, Ai Haibara snorted with a tense little face.

Lin Jiashu was somewhat surprised.

"No way, the real show is just beginning."

Lupin answered Fujiko's question.

After briefly explaining the current situation, Lupin chuckled and climbed into the back seat of Fujiko Mine, who didn't refuse, chuckled, and tightened the accelerator.

We can already see the plane starting to accelerate on the runway.

The cabin door then opened and lowered, and the car carrying Alan Smith quickly approached the plane and drove inside.

The plane's cabin doors are already closed.

As the Harley-Davidson motorcycle rapidly approached, Fujiko Mine suddenly looked down at Ai Haibara in her arms and asked, "Could you help me hold the handlebars?"

Why would I do something like this?

"Then you shoot?"

Without waiting for Ai Haibara's reply, she pulled a rocket launcher from her weapon backpack: "It's okay, one shot will do the trick."

"Wait, wait a minute! Fujiko, that brat is on the plane too!" Lupin shouted.

"It has nothing to do with me"

“If you do that, I’ll immediately turn around and smash the motorcycle to pieces.”

"Then would you be willing to tell me the secret of that medicine?"

"..."

This woman is truly persistent and wicked.

Seeing her delighted face in the rearview mirror, Ai Haibara felt helpless.

"Okay, I'll let it go this way since you took me for a drive to cheer me up—"

"Ha, men... here's my advice: try not to take them too seriously, especially don't keep them in your heart."

With a grin, Fujiko Mine threw away the rocket launcher in his hand and pulled out two submachine guns instead.

Ai Haibara didn't bother to say anything, but urged her to help shift gears, and then twisted the accelerator hard herself.

Chapter 479: A Reasonable Explanation

A black, thick gas mask.

Lin Jiashu has been holding this thing in his hand ever since he took it off.

However, now that the plane carrying Alan Smith had already lifted off the ground and soared into the sky, this thing was no longer of any use to Lin Jiashu, so he laughed and tossed it aside.

The plane had now reached the stratosphere.

After going to great lengths to grab the plane's landing gear at the last moment and sneak into the cabin, Lupin III saw Conan using a soccer ball to knock out his bodyguard as soon as he entered the cabin.

"You've really gone to great lengths, you little rascal."

His sudden voice startled Conan, "What are you thinking, going through all this trouble?"

"what?"

"Don't play dumb. There was such a fierce firefight on the ground just now, and most people didn't die. You were the one who ordered the FBI's operation, weren't you?" Lupin III squatted down in front of Conan with a mocking expression. "Constantly having to balance the various factions without inflicting fatal wounds, tsk tsk tsk, what a hassle! If we had just let those guys fight it out themselves, the matter would have been resolved long ago!"

"Is this what you wanted to achieve?"

"Yes, it was going very smoothly."

"...but several people still died."

"Ah, but don't blame it on the dimensional barrier, after all, the police set the example first." Lupin III chuckled. "The guy next to you is quite decisive."

"What does this have to do with Brother Jiashu?"

"Come on."

As Lupin stood up, he said, "The answer is already obvious, isn't it, Detective?"

Conan simply smiled.

Lin Jiashu is a member of the Public Security Bureau.

This is a thought that anyone would have today.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Japanese Public Security Bureau to appear at the scene so quietly and with such thorough preparation. The only possibility is that Yoshiki Hayashi, who knew about Lupin's entire plan from the beginning, passed on the information behind the scenes.

Most importantly, Lin Jiashu's action of putting on a gas mask before the tear gas was thrown was something that even the most stupid person would not be able to figure out after witnessing that scene; otherwise, they would truly be so stupid that they have no brains at all.

Conan, however, thought about things more deeply.

Now that he knows more about Lin Jiashu's identity at the winery, he naturally assumes that Lin Jiashu is actually a police officer who has infiltrated the Black Organization, just like Mizunashi Rena's case.

This finally explains why someone as kind as him was chosen by the Black Organization and became a member. If it was all arranged by the Public Security Bureau for him to infiltrate, then everything makes sense.

"Alright, let's finish the last bit of work quickly and everyone can happily wrap up the day."

Lupin had no interest in what Conan was thinking. He pulled out his gun and stared intently at the cockpit ahead.

Alan Smithy, who was in the cockpit acting as co-pilot, was completely unaware of what was happening back home. At that moment, he was sharing his joy with his partner.

We finally obtained the ore from Vesbania.

"In this way, our country will also have the resources to fight."

During his time in Japan plotting to seize the Visbania mines, Alan Smith behaved like a prince or nobleman from some country.

But in reality, he was the captain of an army in a country that was being invaded.

Although it was said to have suffered an invasion, in reality, due to the overwhelming disparity in military strength, his country was practically a colony of its neighbors.

However, before Alan Smithy and his men could celebrate for long, Conan and Lupin III kicked open the driver's seat door and burst in.

The two people in the driver's seat were knocked unconscious by Lupin III before they could even resist.

"Very good, now fly this plane to Hachijojima Island."

"How about going back to Haneda and turning yourself in?" Conan revealed a dangerous smile, flicked open the watch cover on his wrist, and pointed it at Lupin, who was sitting down and preparing to take control of the plane: "The FBI and the Public Security Bureau are right there."

"You little brat..."

Lupin was about to say something when the radar on the plane suddenly sounded an alarm.

The two were startled by the sudden commotion. When they looked at the radar map, they saw two red lights rapidly approaching.

"Fighter jets!?" Conan's voice became shrill. "Are they here to steal ore?"

"No, no, no, this may be a request from the government of Vesbania."

Realizing the situation was not good, Lupin suddenly became guilty.

He was asked by Princess Mira to help retrieve the ore, but before setting off, he also told them that if they failed to retrieve the ore and it was at risk of being lost, they should use official means to destroy it before it was shipped out of Japan.

Conan panicked immediately after Lupin told him this.

"You should have expected this to happen!"

"It's all your fault for being so unexpected!"

"Who told you to impersonate Kid? How could I just stand by and do nothing?!"

"Damn it, do you think it was easy for me to impersonate that guy?! I got shocked twice by that troublesome guy, Hayashi Yoshiki, with a stun gun!"

"Then you deserve it!"

During the argument, the two suddenly heard an extremely loud alarm sound from the radar.

Realizing that the fighter jets following behind had launched missiles, the two men reacted quickly and coordinated perfectly to maneuver their aircraft sharply upwards and release flares to avoid being directly hit by the missiles.

Even so, the aircraft still suffered malfunctions due to the impact of the explosion.

Lupin III had no choice but to give him the cherry sapphire.

Vespania ore can not only be used to evade radar, but under certain voltages, it can also produce an EMP-like effect that paralyzes all surrounding electronic devices... It is precisely because the strategic value of this thing is so exaggerated and incredible that Lupin believes it must not fall into the hands of military nations under any circumstances.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Lin Jiashu didn't intend to care about the situation at high altitude.

In the end, everything will probably be fine.

More than that, he was concerned about the reaction he had just seen from Ai Haibara.

That unabashed, cold snort sounded like pent-up anger.

Why?

Hayashi Yoshiki is somewhat adept at dealing with women, but he doesn't have the ability to discern what's going on from a woman's attitude... However, considering that she hangs out with a woman like Mine Fujiko, and that troublesome woman's obsession with aptx4869, it's not impossible that she might use her information to make a deal with Ai.

If that's the case, then it's going to be a real headache.

Thinking this, Lin Jiashu smiled instead.

Chapter 480: The Deal with Fujiko Mine

This incident has finally come to an end.

Gilamba... that is, Allen Smith's plane, eventually crashed into the sea carrying Visbania's ore.

Conan and Lupin, who had thwarted the fighter jet attack with the help of the Cherry Sapphire's EMP function, escaped the danger of falling into the sea with Alan Smith and his subordinates, who had been knocked unconscious, by parachute at the last moment. They were eventually rescued by the submarine prepared by Fujiko Mine.
