People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"You two, change into these clothes, quick!"

The assailant took off his ski suit and threw it into the hands of Asakawa Hayao and Akai Shuichi.

Asakawa Yu naturally understood their purpose in doing so; they simply wanted Akai Shuichi and him to impersonate them so that they could blend into the crowd and escape.

But Asakawa Yu also knew that their real purpose was not just to escape like this.

They also planned to detonate the two bombs hidden in their ski bags after getting off the train, so that when the police searched for their bodies, they would mistakenly believe that the perpetrators and passengers had all died in the explosion.

It must be said that for these people, this plan is indeed quite good.

Unfortunately, he ran into himself and Conan.

"You'll have to take our place for a bit to buy us time to escape."

"The two of us will pretend to be passengers and get off first. We're counting on you two. But don't worry about being mistaken for robbers; the other passengers will naturally clear your names later..."

The assailant held a gun to the heads of Shuichi Akai and Yu Asakawa, trying to force them to cooperate.

But what he didn't know was that neither Shuichi Akai nor Yu Asakawa took their words to heart.

As for Shuichi Akai, he was secretly observing Yu Asakawa with narrowed eyes.

Is it this man again...? It seems like I've been running into this man frequently ever since I last met him at the train station.

After the previous Twin Towers incident, she began to realize the extraordinary nature of this man.

The first encounter at the train station, the second chance meeting on the pedestrian street, the mysterious person who seemed to be giving him information, and... this time, the bus robbery.

And most importantly, that silly girl he once abandoned...

Shuichi Akai glanced almost imperceptibly at the woman sitting behind him.

It's so similar...it really is so similar.

Even if the appearance is different, the feeling doesn't lie!

That inner turmoil reflects this fact.

That silly woman really wasn't dead yet, and the person who saved her was the man standing right next to her.

In a daze, Shuichi Akai looked toward Akemi, but the next second, a figure blocked his way.

It's Asakawa Ha!

At this moment, Asakawa Yu stood expressionless in front of Akai Shuichi, seemingly radiating an invisible pressure.

"Have you discovered something, sir?"

Asakawa Yu's voice was barely audible, and only Akai Shuichi, who was standing next to him, could barely hear it.

In an instant, Shuichi Akai's brows furrowed.

He pondered the meaning behind Asakawa Yu's words. Was she telling him to focus on the task at hand? No, that was unlikely. These two thugs might pose a huge threat to ordinary people, but to people like them, one hand was enough.

This makes it obvious.

He was actually protecting that woman, the silly woman he had abandoned and then rescued from Gin.

And the best proof of this is what I just witnessed.

The girl looked at them with worried eyes, but he knew that the concern wasn't for him, but for the person standing next to him.

Yes, she has a new life and has started a new chapter. Perhaps I... have let go of it too.

For a fleeting moment, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Shuichi Akai's eyes—an emotion known as regret…

If only I had...

Hey! I'm talking to you, what are you spacing out for!

The heavy sound broke Shuichi Akai's thoughts. He saw the thugs pointing guns at him impatiently, cursing under their breath.

After explaining what to do next, the assailant started yelling again.

"Hey! You, the woman chewing gum in the back! Come up to the front right now!"

After explaining that he was taking a hostage, the assailant pointed a gun at the driver and demanded that he do as he was told.

But Asakawa Yu knew that the woman was not a hostage at all, but their accomplice.

Stealing a glance at Conan behind her, even though the car had already entered the tunnel, Asakawa Yu saw Conan and the others thanks to her superhuman eyesight.

Just as he expected, Conan had already begun to take action.

As the car was about to exit the tunnel, Asakawa Yu knew that this sudden farce was about to come to an end.

"That sounds nice!"

A shout instantly attracted the attention of the thugs, forcing them to turn around.

"You're going to kill us sooner or later anyway, otherwise you wouldn't have been so bold as to let us see your faces. If you don't do something soon, we'll all die, blown up by this bomb!"

As they spoke, Conan and Professor Agasa lifted the ski bag together, on which the large English letters "STOP" were clearly written.

Stop...stop the car?!

In an instant, the driver understood the meaning of the word and slammed on the brakes.

sizzle!

In an instant, the bus came to a sudden stop, the entire vehicle swaying violently, and everyone on board was thrown to the ground.

Meanwhile, Dr. Agasa and Conan held the bomb tightly to prevent it from being detonated directly.

Once the car came to a complete stop, the people inside finally came to their senses, and at that moment, the assailant also hurriedly stood up.

"You wretched brat!"

The thug roared, preparing to fire a shot at Conan and his friends.

Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly sensed a strong killing intent.

The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and gradually lost consciousness.

"what happened……"

As soon as he finished speaking, he collapsed.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was Asakawa Yu who had made the move.

The moment he saw the assailant about to make a move, he reacted and delivered a karate chop to the assailant from behind.

The assailant was knocked unconscious on the spot by the heavy blow.

"Second brother! You... ah!"

When the other thug saw his brother being knocked down, he immediately realized that things had taken an unexpected turn.

But before he could make a move, Shuichi Akai, who had been watching all along, also made his move.

He threw a punch with his right hand, striking the assailant hard in the abdomen. Then, like Asakawa Yu, he circled behind the assailant and delivered a chop to his neck.

The assailant, caught off guard, passed out along with his companion.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; before anyone could react, the assailant had already been dealt with...
