Chapter 67 - Bus Jacking

To be honest, Morofushi Hiromitsu didn't understand why his two friends all couldn't get along with Akai Shuichi in the slightest bit. His childhood friend seemed to be incompatible with Akai Shuichi and after his 'death,' the situation just turned for the worse.

And Kurokawa Saki herself also said frankly that she didn't like that guy.

While she acknowledged that he's a powerful agent and respects him in this field, she didn't like him at all. 

"Vermouth is also there." Kurokawa Saki looked at the bus and the corner of her lips curled up. "I'll call her later."

Morofushi Hiromitsu: "..."

Well, it seems that Kurokawa Saki is here to make trouble. Forget it. Let her have enough fun. She had worked hard enough in Osaka not long ago.

It would be good for her to have some fun. 

In the bus, Conan was just suspicious of someone who passed by when Haibara Ai said wrong.

"I can tell them by the smell… the disgusting stench that belongs to the members of the organization…"

"I can't smell anything special on you." Conan tried sniffing on Ai's hand. 

"Will you stop kidding around?" Haibara Ai rolled her eyes.

"But… if you can tell with your sixth sense, then you should've known Pisco…"

"Yes.. I had a slight suspicion that he might be one of them… I wasn't confident enough because it felt like there was another member there…Yes, someone with a stench stronger than pisco's. Someone surrounded by an evil aura, the kind that makes you shiver." At this moment, Haibara Ai paused as her sixth sense was warning her.

"K…Kudo-kun, swap seats with me and hide me. Please!"

Conan and Haibara Ai switched seats when the children noticed Dr. Araide came with Jodie behind him. 

"Oh! Dr. Araide!" Ayumi called out cheerfully.

"Are you on a date today, Doctor?"

"Ah, no… she's a teacher at Teitan High School where I work as a school doctor."

"Hi! Cool kid! We meet again!"

"Do you know her?" Prof. Agasa was surprised.

"Oh yeah, she's the English teacher at Ran-neechan's high school," Conan replied.

Jodie introduced herself and said that she was on a date, but Dr. Araide said that they only bumped into each other at the bus's stop. The two of them proceeded to sit in front of Conan and Ai.

At this moment, no. 10 walked into the bus and silently clicked his tongue. If he hadn't known in advance that Vermouth is dressed as Dr. Araide, he would never have managed to recognize the other party.

...

[Member of the Organization [10]: I see Vermouth and Jodie… how did you manage to recognize her, no. 1? When I saw her, I didn't think that she's any different from an ordinary person. If not for me recognizing her identity from the comic, I wouldn't be able to recognize her.

Corrupted FBI [8]: Don't you watch the video?

Member of the Organization [10]: I did, but I can't see those flaws in her…

Corrupted FBI [8]: If you can see the easy to spot flaws, would she be Vermouth who's known to have a thousand's faces? Also, move away, you're blocking the road]

No. 10 was stunned and quickly took a seat on the back right behind Conan and Ai. Considering his position as a member of the organization, sitting right next to Akai Shuichi seemed to be a bit dangerous. 

But eh, he didn't care.

No. 8 followed and Jodie's expression changed slightly when she saw him. She almost wanted to scold him for leaving the hospital.

He was shot by a sniper bullet and now he's practically running around?

Does he not care about his injury?

No. 8 ignored Jodie's gaze and looked at Vermouth for a moment before picking a seat in front of the children. He leaned against the chair and tapped his thigh. Thanks to no. 9, his injuries were fully healed. 

It could be said that as long as they still have a breath left, no. 9 could save them.

She has limitations on her special skills, but her basic skill as a doctor was good enough.

The only problem is that no. 9 is not convenient to move around from the hospital. After all, she has her duty and so on. 

At this moment two more people came in with guns raised. "Everyone, shut up! I'll kill anyone who makes a fuss!"

Bang!

He shot on the rooftop and started to instruct the driver while the other one started collecting the cellphones.

"Hey, you there! Get your phone out!"

No. 10 shrugged and said, "I don't have a cell phone."

And he watched the drama where the man asked Akai Shuichi, which resulted in the same answer. It was actually quite funny that two people didn't have phones sitting side by side.

In any case, no. 10 didn't pay attention to their ramblings, which were not much different from the comic. His eyes landed on the window where he could see Haibara Ai trembling so much.

He's just a low level member of the organization, so it seemed that Haibara Ai couldn't detect him.

[Member of the Organization [10]: Ai doesn't seem to sense me… or is it because there's Vermouth and Akai Shuichi here? Their auras are definitely extremely strong.

High School Student [2]: Maybe. After all, it's mostly based on instinct. 

Drug Dealer [3]: Eh, then how did you scare her, no. 2?

High School Student [2]: Hmm, maybe I have a natural black aura?

Kami Shita [6]: …]

No. 8 glanced when he saw Jodie tripping the man and then started speaking in English instead of Japanese. Her rapid words made it hard for the man to even understand what she was saying.

His face darkened and he made a gesture.

But Jodie shook her head imperceptibly. 

They can't take action openly!

This damn Josh Parker!

Why is he even here today?

Then again, Josh was not exactly under them, so they couldn't control his action. But it was really troublesome to have such a guy running around like this. 

Thankfully, Josh is smart enough not to call them out when she pretended that they didn't know each other. 

The police officers' side

"So, we're going to release the man?" Megumi Aiko asked with a frown.

"We don't have any other choice. They already fired twice in the bus and if they're the group that robbed the jewelry store, one of them is a pro bomb maker. If they use a bomb in the city, it could lead to disaster," Inspector Megure replied. 

"Can I ask to go there?" Megumi Aiko asked with her hand raised.

"Alright."

Megumi Aiko beamed and then started thinking about how to plan the bug. She has no experience in this, but as long as she could get close to him, she should be able to stick the bug on his accessories if not clothing.

Either will work!

No. 8 watched Vermouth blocking the gun and arched his eyebrows.

Wow, it seemed that Vermouth loved Conan so much. The cool guy and the angel, huh?

In a way, it was a bit disgusting. 

'You're already in the darkness, why do you even want to yearn for the light?' No. 8 shook his head and saw the two kids who were communicating. This scene was actually not that long and no. 8 is really bored.

"How long are you going to play around?" No. 8 spoke English in a rude tone.

Foreigners?

Conan's attention was immediately attracted to no. 8.

No. 8 had blond hair but because he was wearing a hat, it was not very noticeable. He had to say that Bourbon's method was indeed pretty good, so he copied it. It's just that a baseball hat didn't really look good in his opinion, so he picked a cowboy hat instead.

It's cool!

"Shut up!" The man pointed the gun at no. 8.

No. 8 looked at the other party with a sneer. This was not the person whose gun was modified by Jodie, but he was not afraid. As long as he paid close attention to the man's fingers movement, he could easily avoid it.

The past three years have been filled with sweat and blood.

He hated this damn game.
