In this case, the criminal who had infiltrated among the passengers was indeed quite impressive.
The three individuals in the last row of seats, the one in the middle dressed in black like a big uncle was an unrelated bystander, while the person on the left wearing a knitted hat and a mask was Shuichi Akai.
What's left is you, the female accomplice who's chewing gum?
That's right, the most impressive thing about this female accomplice is that she's chewing gum. Even Senichi didn't know what she looked like, but as soon as he saw a woman chewing gum on the bus, he immediately identified her as the criminal.
Speaking of this female accomplice who left an impression for chewing gum, Senichi actually had a lot of complaints when he was watching anime at the time.
Under the threat to their lives, this person was still enjoying her gum-chewing, and even tried to convince the criminal to surrender. Is this the normal reaction of someone encountering a criminal?
Aren't you afraid to go up and get shot?
However, this person really did just that. Chewing gum openly and righteously giving a lecture.
This smoothly and predictably provoked the criminal's displeasure, leading her to be threatened with a gunshot near her ear, putting on a show of "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys."
Although undoubtedly the purpose of doing this was to use the "feigned suffering strategy" to make it harder for the identity of the female criminal to be uncovered.
But if you carefully think about it... don't you find it absurd?
Honestly, as long as you use a little bit of common sense while watching the scene of the female accomplice, you'd somewhat feel that something is off.
At the very least, you'd think this woman is really taking risks. Subconsciously, her actions just don't seem logical.
All the big shots on this bus were keeping a low profile, observing the situation quietly. Yet, she just came in all headstrong, demanding the criminal to surrender?
And she, who clearly gives off an ordinary vibe, acts so arrogantly? Her character is so noble?
So, as long as you reverse your thinking a bit, it's clear that this play is full of holes, making one seriously doubt it.
However, now this person doesn't have a chance to perform. At this moment, she's cowering under Senichi's gun, not daring to move in the slightest.
Although she doesn't know the reason, the chilling and murderous gaze in his eyes tells her that the man with the gun is aiming at her for real.
Those eyes are filled with a warning, telling her that if she even dares to move a little, a bullet will unhesitatingly be fired from the gun's barrel in the next moment.
Amidst this oppressive and anxious eerie silence, as time passes. Accompanied by piercing noise, the grating friction between tires and the road, and blaring sirens—
Senichi knows that reinforcements have finally arrived.
And without a doubt, the first to arrive, driving the car, is none other than Sato Miwako, known as the "Screaming Witch."
There was once a legend circulating in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture about a witch.
If you were driving through the perpetually foggy mountain roads, you might hear a hair-raising scream.
Over time, that sound came to be known as the "Screaming Witch."
But in reality, the so-called "Screaming Witch" was just a quirk of Sato Miwako. In the foggy mountains, she'd speed and drift her car without pulling the handbrake, leading her to scream loudly. This is what led to the legend.
And today, in Tokyo, the bustling city without any fog, along with the blaring sirens.
The "witch's scream" echoed throughout the entire Tokyo.
To the extent that the gaze of Inspector Megure and Takagi on Sato Miwako's car turned green.
After getting out of the car, the three of them released their hands covering their ears. The first thing they did was to cover their mouths, holding back their violently churning stomachs to prevent accidentally vomiting out their breakfast.
After getting out of the car, Inspector Megure, who was now bending over and retching, deeply regretted the conversation he had with Sato Miwako before setting off.
"Sato! Full speed ahead! We need to support our brother Senichi as soon as possible!"
As a result,
Speaking too soon feels good momentarily, but the whole car felt like it was on a 360-degree roller coaster ride.
However, the three big men were on their knees, while Sato Miwako had already left the car early and knocked on the bus door. Upon doing so, she saw the scene inside where Senichi was pointing his gun on both sides.
As for the two criminals, they were handcuffed together. One of them was grimacing while clutching his injured arm, undoubtedly the handiwork of Senichi and the tool man Conan.
Once Sato Miwako got on board, Conan immediately stepped forward with the key, unlocking the injured criminal and then cuffing the other one behind his back.
The injured one was then escorted off the bus by Sato Miwako.
Up until this point, the three police officers on the side were finally coming around. They watched over the unfortunate injured criminal and asked Sato Miwako to get back on the bus to escort the other one off.
"Now I'll start moving the bomb!"
After handing over the other criminal to the "motion sickness trio" , Sato Miwako got back on the bus and spoke again.
Because she knew that there might be an accomplice of the criminals on the bus, holding the detonator. So, Sato Miwako didn't even think about evacuating the passengers and having everyone get off the bus. Instead, she was preparing to move the bomb out.
There was no other way; she had been driving too fast, running countless red lights all the way. Her speed was something regular people couldn't catch up with, which led to the bomb disposal team and the main forces being left behind.
Evacuating the crowd was not a feasible option now. If the hidden criminals managed to activate the bomb amidst the chaos, it would be troublesome.
Hence, moving the bomb became the best current option.
Senichi clearly understood the situation as well. Just as he was about to nod, he noticed that among the visibly relaxed passengers around him, the female passenger he was pointing his gun at was starting to show signs of anxiety.
Seeing this, a thought quickly formed in Senichi's mind.
"Officer Sato, don't rush to move the bomb."
Stopping Sato Miwako, who was preparing to move the bomb, Senichi smiled and gestured towards the woman sitting in the back row with his gun, saying, "Search the lady in the back row first, see if you find anything."
As his words fell, the woman's anxious expression grew even more pronounced. And as Senichi observed this, his smile turned slightly more pronounced as well. At the same time, the jet-black muzzle of his gun lifted ever so slightly. Almost absentmindedly, his index finger was still on the trigger.
"Apologies, madam, your previous reaction caught my attention," Senichi looked at her, his index finger lightly pressing the trigger, his tone cold and severe, "Don't think about trying anything funny, or else..."
"Hi... I... I understand..." As she stared at the muzzle that was about to shoot in the next moment, feeling the terror of that overwhelming pressure, the woman chewing gum couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her forehead.
Watching this scene, Sato Miwako's expression appeared slightly bewildered.
Because, at this moment, Senichi's attitude was incredibly tough. It was hard to tell whether he was an officer or a criminal.
