Chapter 68 - Bus Jacking (2)

"If you want to shoot, just shoot and stop prancing around. You don't even want to release us with those things on the ground," No. 8 continued calmly.

"You…"

Bang!

Conan almost jumped down, but he saw the man tilted his head to the side nonchalantly. The look on the man's eyes made the man back down.

Because he felt as if he was facing a ferocious beast instead of a normal person. 

For a moment, Conan could also feel the coldness that Haibara Ai felt. It was indeed terrifying, as if he was not seeing a human being but rather a corpse on the ground. 

Cold and unfeeling.

Beside Conan, Haibara Ai trembled even worse. 

She didn't know who he was, but the feeling was not any worse than the previous one. 

Who is this?

Akai Shuichi frowned slightly at Josh's action, but he was on a mission and couldn't really interact with the other party openly.

Beep! Beep!

The phone call stopped the man and he quickly answered it, "Hey! We were waiting for ya, Yashima-san. How are things over there?"

"It's good. I got rid of the police following me."

"Then 3 days from now, we'll meet at the usual place."

The two people decided to ignore no. 8 and followed their previous plan to let Dr. Araide and Akai Shuichi to wear the jet sky clothes.

[Member of the Organization [10]: Wow, you scare them away with just one look! How did you do that?

Corrupted FBI [8]: They're trash.

Member of the Organization [10]: Ehh, but it seems that I don't have any role to play. Ahh, too bad. How about if I follow Vermouth after this?

High School Student [2]: Huh? Are you seeking death?

Member of the Organization [10]: Otherwise, it's really not fun. Anyway, I have no role over here and it's better to have fun with Vermouth in this game]

No. 8 leaned against the chair and raised his knee slightly to prevent himself from falling over when the bus suddenly stopped later. He had no interest to play in the follow up, but if no. 1 will make things interesting later… then he's willing to have fun with him.

No. 10 chuckled and silently held the side window. His strength was not as good as no. 8, so he will have to use his arm later.

The two of them watched as Conan continued his 'magic' and stopped the bus in time.

Neither of the two make a move because Conan has stunned one of them with his anesthetic needle and the other one was dealt with by Jodie.

Her acting… well, it looked a bit too much.

No. 8 had a strange look as he looked at Jodie.

"Ahh, gotta run away! The bomb has been activated! We have less than 30 seconds before it blow!"

"Whattt!"

Everyone ran out of the bus in panic, leaving only Haibara Ai in the bus. No. 10 glanced at the girl who stayed behind and sighed as he picked her up.

"You…" Ai was stunned and then her sixth sense seemed to kick in. 

She could tell that the man in front of her was dangerous and this made her tremble. But it was far fainter compared to the other members of the organization that she had met. 

"Tsk, you're such a troublesome kid," No. 10 said as he ran out while carrying Ai and met with Conan who was about to run back to pick up Ai. He was stunned to see no. 10 carrying Ai, but there was no time to say anything.

Boom!

The bomb exploded behind them and no. 10 fell on the ground while holding Ai. He thought about the comic and looked at his bloody arm that was scraped on the ground and rubbed it on Ai's hand. 

"Get away from here," no. 10 whispered in a low voice and then stood up and walked away.

"Ai! Are you alright?" Conan saw the scene when no. 10 smeared the blood and was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Takagi. "This girl is hurt! Take her, the professor, and the others to the hospital! I'll undertake the police questioning myself!"

"Y-yeah."

No. 10 stood on the side and watched as Ai left and clicked his tongue. He didn't really want to save Shiho because he knew that Conan would definitely turn around and save her.

Why waste his time doing something unnecessary?

He glanced to the side and saw Akai Shuichi walking away and whispering something, but after one glance, he immediately turned his eyes away.

Because Akai Shuichi turned around at the exact moment when he turned his head.

His senses were simply too sharp. 

Bang!

At this moment, a bullet passed by Akai Shuichi's head and fell to the ground.

"Sniper?!"

"Who is it?"

Conan was shocked and crouched down with the others. 

At this moment, a second bullet has arrived, grazing against no. 8's head as he crouched down. Some of his hair was burned down due to the friction and he clicked his tongue.

It seemed that he had to change his hairstyle.

Thankfully just a little trimming will be enough.

[Corrupted FBI [8]: You seem to be having a lot of fun, no. 1

ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Of course~. Anyway, I'm retreating for the time being and good luck with the questioning.

Corrupted FBI [8]: Ah.]

No. 8 looked at Conan who was staring at him as if asking what happened and he felt a headache. This detective will definitely try to ask more questions until the very bottom.

The good thing is that there were two targets.

So he should be able to go home safely?

No. 8 highly doubted it.

Tsk, he will make things difficult for no. 1 too in the future when he had a chance. 

Kurokawa Saki escaped after shooting two bullets.

She had no interest in meeting with the police officers or the FBI agents yet. But she was sure that the appearance of Midori Yuki should have been recorded in front of these two people.

Ah~, Kurokawa Saki wanted to laugh.

It's good to be able to have fun, isn't it?

"Time to pay a visit to the bar. I'm sure she'll be there too." Kurokawa Saki smiled faintly.

Bam!

Megumi Aiko looked at the bruised man in front of her with satisfaction. The bug was working perfectly. Even though this man tried to escape, he didn't think about changing his clothes because it was too troublesome.

Thanks to that, Megumi Aiko could track him until the end and catch him.

She took the bug back and pulled the man up.

"Aiko! Good job!" Inspector Shiratori praised Megumi when he saw her bring the man back to the police station.

"Hehe. How's the case?" Megumi Aiko asked curiously.

"The two people have been caught, but after that there's a sniper attack. Two people have been targeted, but they refuse police protection." Inspector Shiratori felt a headache when he thought about these two people.

"Who are they?"

"Well, their names are Akai Shuchi and Josh Parker."

Megumi Aiko: "...?"

Akai Shuichi?

What did she miss?
