The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 153: The Battle Begins (Two in One)

For Story Timeline, if it learned anything from the last case, it's that only agents who truly belong to you can get things done.

Especially at the beginning of the [cycle], when the three forces were cut off from intelligence and other support for their subordinates.

That's why Ms. Miyano is an absolutely useful chess piece, and that's why the storyline emphasizes that Gin must try to give her a chance.

Just like now, Ms. Miyano is directing Miyano Akemi on how to proceed with the next move, while at the same time directing "Gin" and "Vodka" to go to the Beika branch to die.

Tequila and Calvados, who had been kept in the dark about everything, were a little nervous, but still confident about this mission.

Although there were only two of them, the amount of ammunition in the car was more than enough to not only rob a bank, but also occupy an entire city block.

What's more, the organization has already arranged everything.

"Gin, Vodka, don't worry. We're sending you to your deaths this time. The real operatives have already started. All you have to do is pretend to rob a bank and drive the car through the gate, then use the smoke bombs on the car as cover."

"All you need to do is cause chaos, and your mission will be accomplished. Two sets of bank staff uniforms and ID badges have been placed in the maintenance bathroom at the back left of the first floor."

The edited mission plan was successfully sent to the mobile phones of Tequila and Calvados, who had already found the van hidden by the organization near the bank according to the predetermined plan.

As before, the names of "Gin" and "Vodka" at the beginning of the plan were replaced with the names of the two scapegoats.

For Ms. Miyano, she finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the confirmation text message sent by Gin.

"That means the organization, no, it should be the [story timeline], hasn't noticed my actions yet. This way, the plan can still be salvaged."

Standing in an empty warehouse near a port warehouse, Ms. Miyano looked at the 3D image of the bank displayed on the computer in front of her and quietly pressed a button on the keyboard.

——After a somewhat long wait, the communication was connected, and a low, slightly hesitant response came through.

"Hey?"

The soft voice, which was exactly the same as her own, made a trace of sadness flash in Miss Miyano's eyes. Then, Miyano Akemi heard a very familiar voice.

"I'm Miss Miyano."

It’s exactly as Shiho said!
The moment the thought came to her mind, the calmness and even coldness that was completely different from her own words brought Miyano Akemi back to her senses.

"There's only one vault in the Mihua branch. You should know the way there. I'll help you disable the security system right before the vault door closes."

"But……"

"Don't worry about being stopped by security. I'll help you create an opportunity. There's a support board in the compartment on your right. Open it, prop it up, and hide inside."

Ms. Miyano paused as she considered what she was going to do next.

"This communication signal may be bad for a while. I will give you a very clear signal sound when the time comes. Take action immediately when the third signal sound."

After having Akemi confirm with her that she had remembered the plan correctly, Ms. Miyano continued to explain.

"Of the three pointers called the Eye of Clarity, only one is real, so I will buy you enough time to get all three."

"After that, you need to walk up about ten meters from the lower left corner of the bank. Stop when you see a red shelf. A vehicle will come to pick you up."

"You should know where we should go in the end, Mingmei."

"Amei?"

Mingmei said "hmm", she kept Miss Miyano's words in mind, and then remained silent for a few seconds.

"Thank you for helping Shiho, Ms. Miyano."

"Also, Ms. Miyano, you really are—"

Miyano Akemi sighed softly. She got no response at all and the communicator signal was disconnected.

Following the instructions she had just heard in the communication, Akemi Miyano found the support board marked "earthquake supplies" from the hidden compartment.

With some inexplicable worry, just like the hide-and-seek game she played as a child, Miyano Akemi carefully hid herself under the support board.

Then she pulled out her phone and sent the man her last text message.

……

"Sister Xiaolan! Why don't we go to another bank? Or come back another day? I'm suddenly feeling a little unwell!"

"Don't mess around, Conan! You'll lose your Sherlock Holmes hat!"

Mao Lilan certainly knew what Conan was hinting at, but she knew Shinichi too well——

Conan will definitely trick me out of the bank and get rid of me alone and come back quietly!
"Don't worry, I will protect you, Conan."

As she said this, Xiaolan made a karate gesture. What's more, the security personnel pointed out by Conan made Xiaolan feel relieved.

"And there are so many security guards protecting us! You just wait here now, I'll go save the money first, don't run around, Conan!"

Although she said that she was not worried at all, Conan could feel that Xiaolan was also worried that something might really happen because of Kid's appearance because of what he said.

His hand was held tightly in Xiaolan's palm, which even made Conan's hand feel painful.

Xiaolan didn't give herself any chance to escape.

Damn it! Conan lowered his head and clenched his teeth. He hated himself for being just a child.

Xiaolan had no idea what was going on!
According to his own observation, his words just now had even caused several eyes to fall on Xiaolan and himself. Now he couldn't even clearly warn Xiaolan and others.

To Conan now, this busy hall is like a powder keg.

Without knowing the movements of Kidd or others, any slight disturbance is likely to touch one party's overly sensitive nerves and cause them to take action!

Even in Conan's opinion, the most dangerous guy is not Kidd, but the black organization that dared to install bombs on the entire train!
Moreover, the official organization that the detective joined is also very suspicious. Judging from the postures of these security personnel, the authorities may have known that a fierce gunfight would take place in the bank!

But they did not close the bank or even evacuate people who came to do business!

Conan did find several plainclothes officers wandering around the bank thinking they were being discreet, but there were more ordinary people who chose to come in and take a look because of the bank welfare sign posted outside!

This really made Conan furious. He actually let an ordinary person who knew nothing cover up his abnormal behavior!

This also made Conan have no doubt that if they engaged in a firefight, they would definitely not take himself and Xiaolan into consideration.

As for Conan, his vigilance was raised to the highest level the next moment when he looked around and saw three transport trucks escorted by seven or eight police cars passing by the bank on the street outside the glass door of the bank.

Although he didn't know in his heart which car or cars the Clear Eyes were hidden in, Conan was 100% sure in his heart.

His detective intuition told him that the vehicle that just passed by must be the one harboring the Eyes of Clear Light.

Why now?

Conan even suspected that there would be gunshots or even explosions in the next second.

Fortunately, the hand that Xiaolan held his hand with was not the hand wearing the anesthetic watch.

Whether it is a football belt or a foot-strengthening shoe, the movement and preparation time are too long if you want to be more discreet.

Conan lowered his head and gently touched the frame of his glasses with his fingers. The suspicious people in the crowd were clearly marked on the lenses as Conan's eyes lingered. Then, Conan used the visual control system added by the doctor to arrange the marked outlines into a certain order according to their distance from himself and Xiaolan.

At the same time, he quietly put the wrist with the anesthetic watch into his trouser pocket.

He untied the watch strap with one hand and adjusted the watch from being worn upwards to facing downwards. Then, as he felt a slight suction on his wrist, Conan tightened the strap again.

Then, with some difficulty, he used his fingers to rotate the magnifying glass lens that was attached to the lens cover to an angle.

The right lens of the glasses immediately flashed a green light that seemed to be reflected from the overhead light.

Great! Connected!
Conan felt a little excited, as the radar system would be able to identify friend or foe while aiming in advance.

As long as there is no waste and the shots are guaranteed to hit the target, thirty-three bullets should be enough to protect yourself.

And if that doesn't work...

Conan is ready to confess to Xiaolan that he is Shinichi. At worst, he will have to take out all the ten or so magnifying glasses in his schoolbag.

As long as everyone is asleep, there will be absolutely no possibility of any accidental discharge of gunfire!

——This is also the reason why the [Story Timeline] repeatedly doesn't want Conan to use those magnifying glasses.

If Conan becomes an armed detective, many of the original plots will simply not be able to proceed.

Unfortunately, both the story and reality had already anticipated that the Alliance would try to use Conan to fight back against the GSSRA and the distillery.

Just like Conan thought that these people mixed in with the plainclothes were the officials or the Black Organization in disguise, but the plan given by the dual timeline was slightly different from what Conan thought -

Even if Conan really anesthetized everyone in the hall now, it would be of little use, because the entire hall, as well as the soldiers or security personnel who received the mission, could be sacrificed in a while.

They are not the real main force at all.

Just when Conan was feeling extremely nervous, he became unexpectedly calm.

Until Xiaolan, who was also a little worried and doubtful, deposited the check and opened a new passbook using the torn one.

Nothing happened.

The ten minutes of peace even allowed Xiaolan to completely let go of her worries, and she finally let go of Conan's hand.

"Conan, let's go."

——Then the conflict occurred the next moment.

Just like the tsunami caused by the earthquake, the first waves to reach the beach even looked like ordinary waves.

Then the next second you can see a white line in the distance sweeping towards the people on the beach with great force.

Xiaolan's words seemed to trigger a signal. When the noisy noise outside the bank made Conan look outside the glass door, his pupils suddenly shrank.

It's snowing outside! No, those are all Kaito Kid's preview letters!

The laughter that everyone was familiar with rang out in the sky.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Today, I will steal the gemstone called the Eye of Clarity from the Beihua branch of the Shiling Bank!"

"The target has appeared! I repeat, the target has appeared!"

The warning letters sent by Kaito Kidd were immediately delivered to the commander by several intelligence personnel.

This time Kidd didn't do anything mysterious at all.

"—What I will steal is the gem called the Eyes of Clarity."

The next second, the commander grabbed the phone and started yelling at the other end.

"Act immediately according to Mr. Yusaku's plan! Have the soldiers in charge of transportation immediately find the treasure known as the Eyes of Clarity!"

There was no response from the other end of the line and the communication was cut off.

"Liaison officer!"

The commander angrily threw the phone to the ground and immediately pushed away several engineers who ran in to try to repair it.

"Our communication system has been attacked! It's too late to repair it. Send a team immediately to notify the team transporting the collection! The enemy must have made preparations. We must evacuate the bank immediately!"

At the same time, the soldiers and police who had been staying in the camouflaged vehicles hid in the planned cover points fully armed with the shrill sirens.

"Shoot tranquilizer bullets at Kaito Kidd! You're allowed to use non-lethal ammunition to attack his glider!"

The hang glider circling in the sky was shot down immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the second dummy flew out of the TV station according to the predetermined trajectory and cancelled the stealth system.

"The second target appears! Repeat, the first target is a fake target!"

"Have the analysts immediately determine Kaito Kidd's direction using the glider's trajectory!"

"Report to the commander, Kidd's glider suddenly appeared in the air!"

The commander threw the telescope to the ground and walked quickly to the analyst who could be said to be a waste.

"You're fired! Didn't I see he appeared out of nowhere? Of course I did, but it was magic!"

"Kid's assistant must be nearby! He's also from 'Science Frontier'. I order you to immediately find the approximate direction and location of the camouflaged target within ten minutes!"

When the third dummy appeared in the sky, only a few sporadic gunshots were heard.

"Unless the hang glider lands when passing the Beihua branch, or unless we are sure the target is Kidd, we are not allowed to shoot immediately when the target appears!"

"Command requires us to make the hang glider form a clear trajectory in the air."

But this time GSSRA was completely wrong. The dummy still glided across the street like the wind, but this time it flew very low and abnormally fast.

It was so fast that it was almost difficult to aim with pistols and rifles, and so low that all the soldiers could see the densely packed spherical objects mounted under the unfolded glider.

Smoke bombs poured down the entire street like raindrops.

Every soldier who noticed the object hanging under the glider started screaming hysterically over the communication system.

"Damn it!" "There's a bomb hanging under the target's glider!"

"Everyone get down!!"

As the smoke bomb splashed onto the ground, the violent chemical reaction didn't allow any soldier time to react.

Almost in an instant, the entire street was engulfed by thick white fog.

Then they slowly fell to the ground one by one.

——It is a hypnotic smoke bomb, the recipe of which was given to me by Dr. Agasa as a gift.
