Catching a Bullet Barehanded

"Why didn't my dad teach me these things when we went to Hawaii back then?"

After muttering this to himself, Conan no longer hesitated. He sent Jiang Hang a "no problem" emoji and quickened his pace, leaving the hospital and heading towards that location.

Since he wasn't worried about Jiang Hang getting hurt by the robbers, he decided to go and rescue the girl.

Of course, he was still keeping an eye on the situation with the middle-aged man.

The other person washed their face with cold water in the nearby toilet for about six or seven minutes before finally coming out of the toilet.

What made Conan a little nervous was that the other party actually found the plainclothes policeman who had questioned him before, seemingly wanting to confess to him in order to get help from the police.

Sure enough, the moment he turned to the plainclothes policeman who had previously questioned him with his partner and seemed quite upright, the policeman's voice turned sinister.

When the message reached Conan via the transmitter, he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Aren't you afraid something might really happen to your daughter if you do this?"

"Our people should have told you that we've been monitoring your every move. As long as you obediently do as we say, I'll take care of the rest of the police stuff for you."

Then the plainclothes policeman waved to his colleagues behind him, indicating that everything was fine.

One can only imagine how flustered that middle-aged man must have looked at that moment.

Fortunately, he was about to arrive at the commercial building.

If the middle-aged man had just waited a little longer, the other party's daughter would have been rescued.

Conan glanced at the time: 3:20 PM.

There were still ten minutes left until the final deadline given by the robbers.

He walked into the building somewhat anxiously, waiting for the elevator to descend to the top floor.

Two or three more minutes passed, and there was no response from the transmitter, only the ambient sounds around the hospital, indicating that the middle-aged man was not yet mentally prepared for the final moment.

At this moment, Conan finally arrived at the top floor.

Although it's not a day off today, there were still quite a few people playing in the children's Amusement Park on the top floor.

Conan squinted and looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, the eagle from Jiang Hang was circling on the roof of this building.

However, it doesn't seem to have any intention of falling.

Is it because Jiang Hang is currently in the ward and cannot give it instructions?

It seems that only he can find the robber's accomplice.

Thinking this, Conan stared wide-eyed as he scanned the surroundings of the rooftop, trying to find the possible robber and the whereabouts of the little girl named Yumiko.

Although he hadn't been involved in a case for more than 10 days, as the case entered its final stage, Conan quickly regained his usual sense of smell.

Although he didn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone while the middle-aged man was on the call.

But the robber's originally fierce voice became somewhat calmer when he spoke to the person on the other end of the phone.

And a little girl would not willingly leave her parents' side with a grown man.

In other words, could the robber who stayed here be a woman?

Thinking this through, Conan quickly identified the suspicious targets.

Adults who smile at children are excluded.

Those who were unwilling to take their children to a certain activity, causing the little girl to make a fuss, are also excluded.

Those who sit idly by and let their children play wherever they want can also be excluded.

In half a minute, Conan had observed all the suspicious individuals on the rooftop.

Then his gaze settled on the woman in sunglasses who was standing on the edge of the rooftop, looking towards the hospital while frequently glancing back at the little girl happily playing on a rocking horse behind her.

Having made up his mind, Conan adjusted his breathing slightly and walked towards the little girl's location.

The woman wearing sunglasses naturally noticed Conan's approach.

However, Conan's appearance is just too deceptive.

What can a little boy who is at most a first-grade elementary school student do?

At most, they probably just saw that the little girl was pretty and wanted to come over and play games with her.

With that in mind, she didn't pay much attention to the little boy's approach.

Anyway, this silly girl is still believing that she is her father's good friend, and she will stay here and play peacefully until her father comes to pick her up.

"Once everything is over, I'll send you to reunite with your father..." Thinking this to herself, the woman in sunglasses felt no pity whatsoever.

Conan, having confirmed that the woman in sunglasses had no intention of hindering his approach, took the initiative to move closer to the little girl and asked her name.

With his somewhat attractive appearance, which was quite appealing to little girls, he only needed to say a few words to the other person to find out her name.

It really was this little girl.

Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that even after resting for more than ten days, his reasoning ability has not rusted.

While most people might never encounter a criminal case in their entire lives, for a renowned detective like him who comes across a murder every few days, these ten days or so are indeed a rare vacation.

After confirming with the little girl that the woman in sunglasses was indeed the one who brought her here, Conan took out his phone and sent a message to Jiang Hang, indicating that he had basically taken care of things on his end.

He's fully equipped right now.

Tranquilizer Dart, powerful shoes, mini soccer balls, and smoke bombs, incendiary bombs, and stun bombs provided by Jiang Hang.

And the lightweight bulletproof vest that Jiang Hang specially commissioned Professor Agasa to develop for him these past few days.

With these things around, Conan felt incredibly powerful.

Even if Gin were to reappear in front of him, he wouldn't feel the slightest fear.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hang was comfortably lying in bed, watching Conan's actions from Altair's perspective.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the middle-aged man trembling as he returned to the ward with the box of cream puffs.

His father was still puzzled as to why his son had taken so long to go to the toilet, but he didn't notice the gloom in his son's eyes.

He slowly walked to his father's bedside. After agonizing for so long, he finally made up his mind to save his daughter, even if it meant becoming a murderer.

However, as he approached the man the robber had asked him to kill, he didn't immediately take out his pistol from the puff pastry box in his pocket. Instead, he planned to say a few more words to his father.

But seeing the plainclothes policeman outside the ward pretending to casually pass by, as if reminding him to hurry up, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and took out... a flower from the puff pastry box in his arms?

He stared blankly at the flowers in his hand.

When he checked in the bathroom just now, there was a pistol inside. How did it suddenly turn into a flower?

Then, the next moment, a loud gunshot rang in his ears, leaving him even more stunned.

He turned his head blankly and saw that the "robber" had somehow stolen his pistol and fired a shot directly at the window next to him.

His mind was still blank.

Immediately after waiting all afternoon, the plainclothes policeman who had finally heard the gunshot appeared at the ward door, ready to draw his gun and kill the idiot on the spot, confirming his identity as an accomplice of the robbers.

Then he saw that his accomplice, who should have been dead, was still perfectly healthy on the hospital bed.

Even after seeing him, she waved her pistol at him.

Chapter 536: Catching a Bullet Barehand

Miyano Shiho and Ran Mori, who were in a private hospital room, naturally heard the gunshots coming from below the hospital.

Upon hearing the gunshot, Ran Mori reacted with slight tension, as her previous amnesia was also related to firearms, and she still harbored some lingering fear of them.

Upon hearing the gunshots, Miyano Shiho checked the time and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It's a little past 3 p. m. now.

It took a little longer than she had originally planned, but once Jiang Hang finished his work at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he should still have some time to take a walk.

She wasn't worried at all that Jiang Hang would be injured by a gun.

Not only because Jiang Hang had teamed up with Kaito Kid to break into the lab and rescue her during Operation Heavenly God, but also because Jiang Hang was wearing the lightweight bulletproof vest that she and Professor Agasa had helped design and make.

To be honest, Jiang Hang's suit is much sturdier Conan's. As long as Jiang Hang doesn't foolishly try to catch bullets with his unprotected head, ordinary handguns won't have any effect on him.

Meanwhile, in Jiang Hang's hospital room, the mole policeman looked at his "accomplice" with astonishment. The accomplice had only recently regained consciousness and was still seriously injured.

He had previously checked on the guy's condition. According to the medical records provided by the doctor, it would take at least a few more days for the guy to be able to sit up in bed.

What? He suddenly sat up in bed as if nothing had happened, and even managed to point a gun at me?

Although he hadn't figured out the situation yet, the mole policeman knew that something was definitely wrong.

Even if his accomplice's previous illness was all an act, it's impossible that he would suddenly fire a shot inexplicably in the hospital room just now.

The mole policeman was filled with doubt, but he didn't show any flaws on the surface.

Having acted as a mole for so many years, helping his accomplices obtain a lot of useful information without being discovered, if he didn't even have this much mental fortitude, he probably would have been discovered to be suspicious when he first joined the police force.

The original plan was to have this foolish middle-aged man kill his accomplice, and then he would kill the middle-aged man himself, thus fulfilling the robber's accomplice's intention to kill him and silence him. However, he was ultimately killed by him when he arrived in time.

But now that his accomplice had taken the pistol from the middle-aged man, the previous plan could no longer be carried out.

The more important thing now is to quickly silence this strange "accomplice" to prevent him from saying anything he shouldn't.

He pulled out his pistol and coldly said to his "accomplice" on the hospital bed, "Put down your pistol and surrender, or I'll shoot."

To everyone's surprise, his "accomplice" showed no fear whatsoever when faced with the dark muzzle of a gun; instead, he nodded at him.

The mole policeman couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

What's wrong with this guy?

But seeing that his other plainclothes colleagues, who were lurking in the hospital, were about to arrive after hearing the gunshot, he couldn't care less about anything else and couldn't hesitate any longer.

His gaze lingered for a moment between the middle-aged man, who was panicking because his pistol had been secretly taken away, and his accomplice. He then decided to kill both of them at the same time, lest the middle-aged man say something he shouldn't.

Even if he might be suspended and interrogated for this reason, he didn't want his identity as an inside man to be exposed.

With that in mind, after issuing the warning, he barely hesitated before raising his hand and firing a shot at his accomplice's head.

You can only blame yourself for being caught by the police while trying to escape.

If you didn't know so much, including my identity, we wouldn't have come to silence you!

"Bang bang bang!"

With another burst of gunfire, the smell of gunpowder began to fill the ward.

To be on the safe side, he simply emptied his magazine.

But the next moment, with no bullets left in his gun, his eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at the scene before him.

Not only was the middle-aged man who threw himself on his father after the gunshot rang out unharmed except for trembling, but even his main target, his accomplice, was clean and without any bloodstains.

No, there are still changes.

He watched as his accomplice closed in on him, within a meter of him amidst the gunfire.

His gaze fell on his accomplice's wrist.

Under the light, that bright white light seemed somewhat dazzling.

Judging from the other person's posture, it seems that he just used the thing on his wrist to block the bullet.

And while blocking the bullets, it arrived in front of him at an astonishing speed.

Then he watched as his accomplice extended his left hand toward him.

He then noticed that the other person also seemed to be wearing a special glove on their left hand.

After opening his left hand, there were two relatively intact bullets and several bullet fragments cut in half.

Seeing this scene, the mole policeman immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

How come this guy's skills suddenly became so good after he went to the hospital?

Are you kidding me? If the other party had such good skills, how could they have been intercepted by the police?

The mole police officer is completely unaware of the current situation.

He just stared blankly as the guy in front of him threw the bullet in his hand to the ground.
