Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also greeted Tomoaki Aida.

For some reason, Edogawa Conan suddenly remembered that on the day of the internal medicine examination, Haibara Ai seemed to have taken a leave.

"Oh! So Mr. Shinde is out on a date with his girlfriend today!"

Genta Kojima keenly noticed that Tomoaki Aishide boarded the bus with an intellectual older sister with blonde hair, blue eyes and glasses.

"Ah, no, you misunderstood. She is Judy, the English teacher at Teitan High School."

Tomoaki Shinide introduced teacher Judy behind him to everyone present.

"Hi! Boys and girls! Oh! Cool kid! We meet again, Edogawa Conan-kun!"

Teacher Judy also greeted everyone present.

"Conan, do you know him?"

Professor Agasa asked Conan Edogawa.

"Ah? Oh! She is Xiaolan's English teacher at her school. We have had the honor of meeting each other before."

Edogawa Conan immediately explained.

After greeting everyone, Tomoaki Shinide and Teacher Judy sat down in the row of chairs in front of Conan Edogawa.

The two men in black suits that Conan Edogawa had just seen walked all the way to the last row of the bus and sat down.

However, just when Edogawa Conan was still wondering whether the two men in black suits sitting in the last row of the bus were members of the winery, two men in red ninja suits suddenly boarded the bus.

"Everyone, be quiet! I'll kill anyone who dares to make a noise!"

The two red-clothed ninjas suddenly pulled out a pistol from their packages, fired a shot at the roof of the car, pointed the gun at the driver's head and shouted:

"Driver! Listen to me! Close the front door and change the bus sign to [Enter]. Drive slowly, but only in circles in the city!"

"Yes!"

With a gun pointed at his head, the driver did not dare to resist and had to do as he was told.

"Very good! Listen carefully! As soon as the traffic light ahead turns red, you must contact the bus station immediately!"

After the red-clothed ninja pointed his gun at the driver and gave him an order, another red-clothed ninja pointed his submachine gun at the passengers and ordered:

"Now! Anyone with a mobile phone! Hand it over! You'd better not cheat! If anyone dares to cheat, he will never be able to make a phone call again in his life!"

After the red ninja took away the mobile phones of all the passengers on the bus, the bus finally stopped at the red light at the intersection.

"This is Xiaolin from car No. W707..."

Following the instructions of the two red-clad ninjas, the bus driver called the bus station.

But before he could finish his name, the red-clothed ninja who had been pointing a gun at the driver snatched the phone and said to the other end:

"This is the Hand! We have hijacked your bus! We have only one request! That is to immediately release Bullseye, who is about to be handed over to the US police! If you don't comply! In ten minutes! We will shoot one passenger! And then shoot one passenger every five minutes! If you understand, tell the police right away!"

"Ten minutes?! This time is too short! Please give us more time, at least an hour, and please wait an hour before starting to kill!"

A voice came from the other end of the phone, and the bus station staff begged earnestly.

"One hour?! Are you kidding me?! How could a kidnapper, with more than 20 hostages, start killing people after an hour?"

"But……"

"There's nothing to worry about! Anyway, you guys should just release him! Our fellow members from the Hand will be there to pick him up in the prison. As long as you release him, I will get the news right away!"

"Wait...wait a minute..."

The staff at the bus station wanted to say something else, but the red-clothed ninja didn't give him any chance at all. After expressing his demands, he immediately hung up the phone.

──【Bullseye】?

Conan Edogawa, who was sitting in the second to last row, immediately searched for information about "Bullseye" in his mind.

——His real name and identity are unknown. All we know is that he is a professional killer who was arrested a few days ago while trying to assassinate the famous lawyer Matt Murdoch. The Hand is a local killer organization in Japan and an international criminal organization.

──I never thought that the professional killer [Bullseye] was actually connected to the [Hand], and judging from the current situation, it seems that they have a close relationship.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and get me your cell phone!"

The red-clad ninja who was in charge of confiscating mobile phones pointed his gun at an ordinary passenger who was sitting in the last row, wearing a mask and coughing non-stop, and said:

"I'm sorry... cough cough cough! I didn't bring my mobile phone..."

An ordinary passenger named Shuichi Akai replied.

"Tsk! So he's a poor fellow! Hey! The old man sitting next to him! What's that on your ear?!"

The red ninja pointed the gun at the old man on Akai Shuichi's right and questioned.

"This... this is a hearing aid. My hearing wasn't very good when I was... young, so..."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to say anything! Hey! The woman next to you! What are you chewing?! You keep smacking your teeth! It's so noisy!"

The red-clothed ninja then pointed his gun at the woman next to the old man and questioned.

"Do I even need to ask? This is what happens when you chew gum! As for you, I advise you to stop it right away. You will be caught in the end anyway, so it's better to give up early and hide in a dark corner!"

Hearing the woman's ridicule, the red-clothed ninja did not say anything, but hit her head with a pistol whip, and blood immediately flowed out from the wound on the woman's head.

"I've decided. When the ten-minute deadline is up, you will be the first person to die!"

The red-clothed ninja then uttered harsh words to the woman.

"Don't... don't kill me! I won't chew gum anymore! I'll spit it out right away! Please! Don't kill me!"

The woman immediately spat out the gum in her mouth out of the window, grabbed the corner of the red ninja's clothes and begged for mercy.

But the red-clothed ninja completely ignored the woman's pleas for mercy, pushed her away, and turned to leave.

However, just as the red-clothed ninja was passing the third-to-last row, Teacher Judy suddenly crossed her legs and stretched one foot out into the aisle, as if to trip the red-clothed ninja.

However, this little trick is nothing to worry about for the red-clothed ninja who has been trained as a professional killer by the Hand since childhood, is proficient in hand-to-hand combat and various weapons and firearms. Anything in his hands can become a deadly weapon. He has crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood countless times!

The red-clothed ninja took advantage of the situation and kicked Teacher Judy on the calf, breaking it directly. Then he laughed at Teacher Judy:

"Humph! You're so dishonest?! I regret it! When the ten-minute deadline is up, you will be the first to die in place of the woman behind you!"

──Oh no! These guys are not the jewel robbers that can be found everywhere on the streets of Beika Town, but real professional killers. If they continue like this, when the ten-minute deadline is up, Teacher Judy will really be killed!

Hearing Teacher Judy's screams, Conan Edogawa began to rack his brains, thinking of ways to save Teacher Judy.

──In short, while both of them are concentrating their attention on the front, I have to use my earring-shaped mobile phone to inform Officer Megure of the situation in this bus!

Conan lost no time and took out the earring-shaped mobile phone from his pocket. However, just as he was about to dial, a ninja in red appeared in front of him.

"What are you doing?!"

The red-clothed ninja snatched the earring-shaped mobile phone from Conan Edogawa's hand, then grabbed Conan Edogawa's neck with one hand, lifted him up, and threw him to the ground:

"You little bastard! Damn it! Because you're still a child! I won't kill you now, but if you dare to act rashly again! You'll be the next one to die!"

──Damn it! He took the phone away!

Conan Edogawa held on to the chair and struggled to get up.

——However, I totally don’t understand why he walked in front of me all of a sudden. He was clearly looking in front of him just now. Moreover, there was a chair blocking his view from where he was, so he shouldn’t be able to see it.

──If that's the case, then there are his accomplices behind him. Among the five people sitting in the last row, there are his accomplices! Among the ordinary passenger wearing a mask, the old man wearing a hearing aid, the woman chewing gum, and the two men in black suits, there are their accomplices!

——But how did this person inform them? Even if someone could see my suspicious behavior, how could he pass the information to the two people in front without them noticing?

At the same time, outside the bus, a red car was following closely behind the bus.

"This is Sato. The bus held hostage by the robbers is currently heading towards Hyakunin-machi in Shinjuku District at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour."

The driver of the red car, Miwako Sato, spoke into the intercom.

"This is Takagi. The target bus has been found. There are two robbers in total. They are both wearing red ninja uniforms and covering their faces with cloth strips. Their faces are completely invisible. However, it is certain that both robbers have guns in their hands. What should we do now, Officer Megure?"

Takagi Wataru, who was standing on the roof of the building in front of the bus, was observing the situation inside the bus through a telescope.

"Brother Gao Mu, please continue to stay there and wait for orders."

Unable to think of any feasible solution, Officer Megure could only temporarily give this order:

"Damn it! If these two robbers have guns, we can't act on our own!"

Chapter 17 The Hand

"Officer Megure!"

Shiratori Renzaburo also hung up the phone at this time and said to Officer Megure:

"Just now our superiors have called and issued an order. They said that the top priority right now is to ensure the safety of the hostages. If necessary, they can release Bullseye from prison. In this case, we have no choice but to follow the criminals' request and release Bullseye who is currently serving his sentence."

"It seems like that's all."

Meanwhile, on the bus.

"The ten minutes are up!"

After checking his watch, a red-clad ninja immediately walked over to Teacher Judy, who he had just sentenced to death:

"Your death has come."

The red ninja opened the window of the bus, grabbed Teacher Judy's hair, pressed her head against the window, and pulled out a pistol and pointed it at her head.

Teacher Judy still wanted to resist at this time, but facing the professional killer of the Hand, the resistance of Teacher Judy, who had already broken one leg, seemed so pale and powerless.

Shuichi Akai, an ordinary passenger sitting in the last row, was about to stand up to help, but just as he moved his butt from the seat, the man sitting on his left, with a slicked-back hair and wearing a black suit, held his shoulders and pulled him back to his seat:

"Calm down, calm down. You can't help much if you go over there now. On the contrary, you might anger them and put the other passengers in the car in danger."

"So you want me to keep silent about this and just watch someone die in their hands?"

Akai Shuichi pushed away the man's hand with slicked back hair and retorted.

"Yes, that's right. Now I want you to just watch here quietly and do nothing, otherwise your idiotic behavior will only kill more people!"

Nan Tianren, who had a slicked-back hair and was wearing a black suit, replied to Akai Shuichi.

"Then I'm afraid I'll disappoint you!"

Shuichi Akai was about to stand up again, but at this moment, the red-clothed ninja's watch suddenly rang.

"Hey?"

The red-clothed ninja clicked the connect button on his phone watch, and a voice came from the other end of the phone:
