Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1333 The Out-of-Control Train

Meanwhile, Shuichi Akai and Jodie also made contact and prepared to surround Osamu Inoue.

Judy looked at the electronic map and pondered, "If the prisoner started from Shin-Minato and went through the Kohoku exit, he should have gone to Tokyo via the Third Keihin, right?"

Shuichi Akai analyzed another possibility: "He might also be using this as a cover, actually going to the coastal area along the downstream route."

At that moment, Hideyoshi Haneda suddenly spoke up: "What's he after?"

"Hmm?" Shuichi Akai turned his head and looked at him in confusion.

With his arms crossed and a confident smile on his face, Hideyoshi Haneda said slowly, “I don’t think it’s necessary to overcomplicate things. For example, the industrial road in front of the Kohoku exit extends in an east-west direction. If you go west, you will cross the Kamoike Bridge that spans the Tsurumi River.”

"At this time of day, we should be able to see the maglev train from the bridge, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shuichi Akai's face showed a look of astonishment, and Jodie exclaimed in shock, "Could the culprit be chasing the maglev train?!"

Haneda Hide glanced in the direction of the Kamoike Bridge and smiled faintly: "I'm afraid so."

Shuichi Akai shouted, "Judy!"

Judy immediately understood what he meant and instructed Cameron to drive the car to the Duck Pond Bridge.

On the maglev train

Sera Masumi looked at Yuya and said with a smile, "Can I see your phone? I'd also like to know who that 'one of us' is?"

Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Sera Masumi was somewhat surprised. Did she really agree? She reached out her hand to Yuya.

Yu handed over the phone, but just as she was about to place it in her palm, she suddenly pulled it back.

He winked at Sera Masumi: "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have some private photos on my phone that I can't show you right now. Maybe next time."

Sera Masumi was taken aback: "Private...photos?"

Yuya smiled mysteriously: "It's okay if you don't know now. You'll understand when Sera gets a boyfriend."

"Huh?" Conan blinked his beady eyes, looking at Yuya with a bit of confusion—what private photos? I'm so curious!

Sera Masumi froze for a few seconds, then her face suddenly turned bright red: "What, what are you saying to a girl?!"

Yuya tilted his head, feigning confusion: "Hmm? It's a close-up photo of me and Mio. It's a memory that belongs only to us as a couple, so of course we can't just show it to anyone."

Sera Masumi blinked her tiny eyes: "Just... a group photo?"

Yuya's expression turned strange: "What else did you think it was?"

Sera Masumi coughed a few times, glancing elsewhere, "No, it's nothing!"

Seeing that Sera Masumi's attention had been successfully diverted, Yuya's lips curled up slightly. Little brat, I can't control you anymore.

However, at that moment, the maglev train suddenly began to shake violently.

Sera Masumi quickly grabbed the handrail beside her and asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Yuya's expression changed, and he looked towards the back of the train: "That sound... was it an explosion?"

Conan looked down, listening to the sound of the train beneath his feet, and said in a deep voice, "The train is accelerating!"

Sera Masumi exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible? We're almost at Shibahama Station, shouldn't the train be slowing down?"

Yuya's face darkened: "It seems that Inoue Osamu has not given up on his plan to kill Mr. Alan. He really intends to use this 'neon bullet'!"

He rushed to the control panel, reached out and pulled the lever, but there was no response; the train showed no sign of slowing down.

"The situation is getting a bit bad."

···

On the other side, Carmel drove to the Duck Pond Bridge and saw a black German car parked at the bridgehead in the distance. The license plate matched the one provided by Ran Mouri.

"That's the one!"

"Be careful."

"learn."

Carmel slowed down and slowly moved closer.

However, Osamu Inoue was very alert and noticed the suspicious car in his rearview mirror.

The other person didn't overtake me, but slowed down after getting close, clearly coming for me.

Without hesitation, he started the car, slammed on the gas, and sped off.

Seeing this, Camel immediately sped up and gave chase, shouting "Start the pursuit!" to report the situation to Shuichi Akai on the other end of the phone.

···

at the same time

The fact that the maglev train accelerated instead of slowing down threw the main control room at Shibahama Station into chaos.

"What's going on? Why isn't the train slowing down?!"

"The cause is unknown! The train is maintaining a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour; if this continues..."

"An unknown program has seized control of the system!"

"Can it be restored?"

"It will take time!"

The news reached the Shinkansen train and was also relayed to Yuya and the others.

Yu also pondered, "It seems that the prisoner prepared another system in advance, otherwise the main control room would not have been unable to regain control."

Sera Masumi asked nervously, "What will happen if this continues?"

Yu glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "If the train cannot proceed as planned, once the track is completely de-energized, the buoyancy of the magnetic levitation will disappear, and the train will gradually slow down until... the train will touch the ground."

Sera Masumi's face turned a little pale: "Wouldn't that cause it to derail? Hey, hey, this kind of joke isn't funny."

Yu shrugged: "Do I look like I'm joking?"

"It's alright," Conan reassured him. "As long as the superconducting magnet doesn't fail, the train won't derail and will eventually land in a relatively balanced manner."

Of course, this relative balance is relative to derailment.

Sera Masumi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

However, Yu poured cold water on their enthusiasm: "Have you forgotten the methods used on prisoners in hospitals?"

Sera Masumi and Conan were startled, then their expressions changed: "Mistake?! Could it be the explosion just now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the train suddenly shook violently. Conan lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. Yuya and Sera Masumi, being tall, held on tightly to the handrail to avoid falling.

Sera Masumi shouted, "This can't go on! At this speed, we'll crash into Shibahama Station in another 5 minutes!"

Yuya shouted, "Go to the driver's cab at the front of the car; the brakes there might still work."

Sera Masumi smiled wryly: "It's really difficult to run to the driver's seat in this situation."

Yuya: "Then you can just wait to die here." With that, he picked up Conan, took a step and grabbed a seat armrest, and struggled to get to the driver's seat at the front of the car.

Sera Masumi quickly followed, calling out, "Hey, I was just making a comment, is this really necessary?"

"Stop talking nonsense and save your energy to get going!" Yu was speechless.

Is this the time to joke?
