Because of Scorpion's sudden appearance and the fact that he took Ayumi hostage, Asakawa Yu and the others are now in a passive situation.

"Shi Kaobing? What are you doing here?! Weren't you already..."

Conan was shocked to see the ferocious expression on Urako Seiran's face. He knew that Scorpion had been subdued by Asakawa Hare earlier, and that Sawabe the butler had been watching...

Wait a minute! Right, if Skobing escaped, what about Steward Sawabe...?

"What did you do to Butler Sawabe?!"

Upon hearing Conan's words, everyone suddenly remembered the incident, and Natsumi Kosaka even realized something, her face turning pale.

"You mean that old gentleman? He happened to see me cutting the rope with a knife to escape. To prevent him from leaking the news, you know..."

After saying that, Scrooge gave a sinister smile. Unlike her, Kogoro Mouri and the others did not have the same calm expression as before, especially after hearing that Mr. Sawabe had been murdered.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Asakawa Yu frowned slightly.

He thought that as long as he captured Skabing first, things would go more smoothly afterward, but he didn't expect that Skabing would still break free and come here.

The situation is bad, but it's far from a dead end.

However, to break this deadlock, he needs the help of Phantom Thief Kid.

So, Asakawa Yu gave Kaito Kid a wink, knowing that with Kaito Kid's keen senses, he would definitely be able to guess what he was thinking.

Sure enough, just as he turned his gaze to Kidd, Kidd also turned his gaze to him.

For a moment, the two exchanged a smile, then quickly looked away.

"I'll say it again, give me the egg! Don't you want this little girl dead?!"

Seeing that no one reacted, Scrooge shouted again. She knew she couldn't delay any longer; if the police arrived, it would be difficult to escape.

"I understand. I'll give you the egg, and you release Ayumi!"

Conan took the egg off the table. The most important thing now is to rescue Ayumi and ensure her safety. As for the egg, we can put it aside for now.

Scorpion looked around and then focused his gaze on Ai Haibara, who was standing next to Conan.

"You! Go and get me the egg. Everyone else, stay where you are!" she said, pressing the dagger tightly against Ayumi's neck, not daring to relax for a moment.

"Ai! No, this is too dangerous, otherwise I'll..."

"Stop arguing! I said whoever I want to come, that's who will come, otherwise..."

Scorpion interrupted Miyano Akemi's request; she would never allow any threat to come near her.

"But……"

"Don't worry, sister. Trust me, and trust him too." Ai Haibara comforted Akemi Miyano and glanced in Asakawa Yu's direction.

Just then, Asakawa Yuya was looking in their direction and returned her a smile.

Seeing this, Ai Haibara was no longer as nervous as before.

Ai Haibara obediently walked to Conan's side, took the egg from his hand, and quickly whispered in his ear, "Use the tranquilizer gun!"

"Hmm!" Conan nodded almost imperceptibly; he thought so too.

He quietly opened the watch cover of the wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun, preparing to fire the moment Scrooge got the egg.

After Ai Haibara took the egg, she carried it toward Scrooge as instructed. However, when she was almost there, Scrooge did not take the egg. She said warily, "Take the egg and come with me!"

"You're not allowed to follow me, or else..." Her dagger remained firmly pressed against Ayumi's neck, and a drop of blood slowly dripped from Ayumi's neck.

Damn it! This way there's no chance to aim, and Haibara and the others will be taken hostage too! What do we do?!

Compared to Conan's tension, Asakawa Yu gave Kaito Kid a wink, and Kid nodded in response, the two of them ready to take action at any moment.

Asakawa Yu released the safety of the pistol hidden in his pocket, while Kid silently pulled out a playing card gun. Mouri Kogoro secretly prepared, waiting for the moment when Scrooge revealed an opening to subdue him.

While keeping an eye on everyone's motives, Scorpion slowly retreated.

Just when she thought she was about to escape unscathed, the cawing of a crow behind her made her realize something was wrong.

Suddenly, an unusual crow appeared in the cave and flew towards her, cawing.

This sudden scene diverted her attention.

"boom!"

Almost simultaneously, a bullet and a playing card flew out at the same time; the bullet was aimed at Scrooge's wrist, while the playing card was aimed at her ankle.

The powerful impact of the bullet struck Scrooge, and a sharp pain surged through her wrist, causing her to drop the dagger from her hand.

She lost her balance and fell to the ground. Miyano Akemi, who had been watching her closely, quickly stepped forward and caught Ayumi. Kogoro Mouri also took advantage of this moment to quickly approach and took her down with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Everything happened so suddenly that Conan and the others hadn't even had time to react before it was over, and Scorpion lost consciousness in the midst of the dizzying spin.

Seeing this, Conan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed the watch cover.

Finally out of danger, Ayumi, in Miyano Akemi's arms, burst into tears. The experience was indeed too frightening for an elementary school student.

Akemi Miyano gently patted her back, "It's alright, it's alright."

Asakawa Yu patted Pochi, who was perched on his shoulder, "Well done, I'll give you extra food when we get back."

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Asakawa Yu put the pistol away, intending to hand it over to Inspector Megure and the others when he went out later. After all, he had taken the pistol from Scopin, and even if he didn't hand it over, the police would definitely come looking for him.

Meanwhile, Kaito Kid, who was disguised as Officer Shiratori, tore off his disguise and revealed his true identity as Kaito Kid.

The snow-white clothes were so eye-catching that everyone's attention was drawn to them.

"Let the treasures of the end of the century be left to those who truly need them. Well then, everyone, goodbye!"

He bowed slightly, then a cloud of smoke exploded on the ground, and when the smoke cleared, his figure disappeared.

"Phantom Thief Kid!" Before everyone could even express their surprise, Phantom Thief Kid had already vanished from the spot.

"That was Kid just now, where's Officer Shiratori?"

Seeing this, everyone was a little confused.
