Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 81: Detective Team vs. Robbers (Part )

In the toilet, Conan was discussing countermeasures with the three little ones, but he saw another person in the toilet.

"Hey, big brother, did you hide in the bathroom so you didn't get caught by the robbers?"

"Oh, little detective, you're calling me brother now?" The night watchman looked at Conan with a smile.

"Huh? Conan, do you know this big brother with white hair?" Genta looked confused.

Just as Conan was wondering where he had seen this person before, the night watchman took out the mask in his arms and put it on.

"Do you know them now?"

"Ah! You you you..." Conan was shocked. This guy is actually here too?

"Don't be too surprised. We have to live a normal life too. We come here to withdraw money but encounter something like this. Alas~" The night watchman put the mask back.

Conan: Who would have thought that the night watchman who looked cold-blooded and crazy before actually had a young boy's face under the mask!

Conan was worried that if he continued talking, the three little ones would become suspicious, so he decisively pulled the night watchman to a small corner and talked in private.

"By the way, how old are you?"

"You pulled me into a corner just to ask a question like that?"

"Ah, that's not right. The situation outside is very critical now. Don't you have a tool to control the wind direction? Did you bring it with you?" Conan still believed that the night watchman's ability to control the wind was brought by mechanical devices.

"Even if I brought it, why should I give it to you? With those abilities, you can deal with the robbers?" The night watchman was quite disdainful. With Conan's small body, even if he could use his wind domain, his short legs would not allow him to run fast.

"Conan, what are you talking about with your big brother?" Ayumi moved closer to the two of them.

"Ah, don't come over here so suddenly."

In the bank lobby, the robbers were driving everyone to the center of the lobby.

"Is the branch manager of this bank here?" the robber glanced at everyone.

The branch manager in the crowd raised his hand tremblingly.

"Very good, come here."

"Don't be afraid. I just want you to put all the money in the bank into this suitcase. It's simple."

"I-Am I alone?"

"Yes, go!"

The robbers then had someone they didn't know present to cover the eyes and mouths of the others with tape, and then tie their hands behind their backs.

Judy used the excuse of going to the restroom to let a robber take her to the restroom, and kicked the robber unconscious while he was off his guard. Then, Judy bit off the tape that bound her hands with her teeth and tore off the tape on her eyes.

"As expected of an active FBI investigator, you're really capable." The night watchman leaned against the wall.

"who?"

Judy saw the three little ones hiding behind the night watchman and Conan beside them.

"We were just accompanying Mitsuhiko to save his New Year's money, and then Genta had a stomachache, so we took him to the bathroom."

"I just heard a loud noise."

"So we hid in the bathroom."

"But I didn't expect to see this person here, ahem..." Conan glanced at the night watchman on the side.

"Sister Qi Shiyi has praised your skills, Teacher Judy." The night watchman blinked his blue eyes.

"So, you are the one..." There were other children present, so Judy didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"Are there still teenagers of your age over there?" Judy was a little incredulous.

"There are even smaller ones than me." The night watchman shrugged. "But what's the situation outside now?"

"There are five robbers outside, and each of them has a gun."

"Is their goal really money?"

"Yes, they want people to put the money in the suitcases they bring here."

"What's strange is that they differentiated the hostages based on whether they had companions or acquaintances, and Qian only ordered the branch manager to help them with the packing."

"And, for some reason, all those people are very concerned about time."

Noticing someone approaching, Judy went back to speaking broken Japanese.

The two robbers who came to check the situation used a stun gun to knock Judy unconscious and took her away, while their accomplices were left in the toilet cubicle.

Conan and the three little ones hid on the toilet lid. He looked up and saw the night watchman holding onto the wall of the toilet cubicle, avoiding the robbers in a suspended posture.

[Shadow of Time and Space: Where did you learn this posture?]

[Opera Singer: It must be Jack. He's the only one who can do the most open and wide window-climbing.]

[Jack: No, I was shot even when I was lying down? Why don’t you say it was Fan Wujiu who taught you that?]

[Soul of the Umbrella (Black):?]

[Soul of the Umbrella (white):?]

"What should we do? Teacher Judy has been kidnapped." Ayumi looked very worried.

"Now it's up to us to defeat these robbers." Yuantai clenched his fists.

"But there are five people on the other side." Mitsuhiko felt that they had no chance of winning at all.

"There are only four now." The night watchman pushed open the door of the next compartment, revealing the robber who had been placed in a safe place by his accomplices.

"Hey, you..." Conan was about to call the night watchman over to discuss what to do, but he didn't know how to address him.

"Just call me Itaqua." The night watchman came over.

Conan was very surprised by the name. After all, few people would give themselves a name like a legendary snow monster. However, the situation was urgent and he had no time to think about it.

"Then, with your skills, one-on-one should be no problem."

"Of course no problem." The night watchman smiled.

A lot of riot police had gathered outside the bank, and there were even snipers on standby on the rooftop.

The Shadow of Time and Space and the opera singer are standing next to Dr. Agasa and Haibara.

"Hey, Ai, where did you meet these two ladies?" Dr. Agasa bent down and asked Haibara in a low voice.

"I met them online, and they have friends trapped in the bank too," Huihara lied calmly. "But the police have surrounded the place, and it's strange that these robbers didn't take anyone hostage to make demands."

"I saw before that the robbers inside seemed to be armed with guns. It is unlikely that robbers who are so well prepared would make such a mistake. I feel that they may have other plans." The Shadow of Time and Space has actually been observing the situation inside from the perspective of the Yis people.

[Opera Singer: What's going on inside now?]

[Shadow of Time and Space: I'm watching. The robbers are still directing those who don't know anyone present to tape the hostages.]

[Night Watchman: I'm discussing the plan with Conan.]

[Shadow of Time and Space: Be careful, there is a bomb in the box in the middle.]

[Fire Investigator: Too bad I can't get to the scene right now.]

[Explorer: Just be quiet.]

[Acrobat: But it's a good thing Florian isn't here. He would probably have blown up the bank and then rushed in to save people.]

[Ms. Farrow: It’s certainly something he could do.]

Inside the bank, the robbers threw Judy in the middle of the lobby, and the branch manager took out all the money.

"Why is there only this much? There should be a lot more money in the bigger vault."

"If necessary, you can also use bombs to blow up the vault."

Hearing that there was a bomb, everyone in the hall was terrified, but the robbers quickly issued new instructions.

Those who had no acquaintances present were asked to cover their eyes and mouths with tape, and finally the robbers would tie their hands.
