“Within five minutes, everyone in the manor must come out and gather.”
“Otherwise, anyone found will be shot on the spot!”
However, before Conan and the others could process their thoughts or anger, the clown's voice rang out again.
This time, there was no hint of mockery in his words, but rather a chilling intent to kill.
With the example of the Shinkansen in mind!
No one believed the clown would hesitate to kill.
Yet, there were still some who clung to a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
They thought that as long as they hid well, they might not be discovered.
After all, once they participated in this so-called clown game, survival was not guaranteed.
In contrast to those harboring such hopes, Ran Mouri and the others were different.
“What does this clown look like, Xiaolan!?”
Especially Yoko, who was a bit oblivious, curiously asked.
This second daughter of the Suzuki family had yet to realize she was in a dangerous situation.
“I’m not sure either!”
“But we should probably listen to what the clown says.”
Ran shook her head and spoke from her heart.
Even Conan remained silent at this moment.
He felt that with the clown's skills in hiding things,
it was unlikely they could evade the clown's search!
Officer Matsumoto's face also showed anger and helplessness.
Compared to others who still had choices,
he truly had no options.
The reason was simple!
Currently, Matsumoto Sayuri was poisoned and her life hung in the balance.
Hiding someone who was unconscious from poisoning was incredibly difficult.
Thus, Matsumoto had no room for choice.
He could only carry his daughter and follow the crowd out of the manor.
Due to the wedding,
there were quite a few guests this time.
However, at this moment, these guests all wore sorrowful expressions.
They never expected that attending a wedding would put them in the clown's sights.
Many guests had thought that with so many police officers present, nothing would happen.
But now, they realized they had been overly optimistic!
This clown was known for not playing by the rules.
On the manor's lawn, many guests quickly gathered.
When they saw several individuals wearing clown masks and holding AK rifles, their faces inevitably showed fear.
“I didn’t expect there to be more than one clown!”
“And they have a whole team!”
At this moment, many people realized this fact.
However, they didn’t know that this was merely an illusion created by Dao Yuan Shun.
“Damn it!”
Conan had originally planned to use some methods devised by the doctor to deal with the clown.
But upon discovering the number of people, each fully armed,
he realized that such ferocity was beyond his capability to handle.
Moreover, he was just an elementary school student.
Especially Ran, who tightly held onto Conan, fearing he might run off and provoke the criminals.
Within three minutes, everyone who was supposed to come out of the manor had already done so.
As for those still clinging to hope, Dao Yuan Shun could easily find them with a sweep of his mental power.
“Five minutes are up!”
“For those hiding, I can only apologize.”
The clown's teasing voice began to emanate from one of the puppets.
Then, with a slight gesture, two individuals wearing clown masks directly entered the manor.
Not long after!
“Tat tat tat!”
“Don’t kill me!!”
.
The sounds of gunfire and pleas for mercy echoed from within the manor.
“Ah!!”
Many guests outside the manor showed panic on their faces and screamed.
As for the police officers, their faces were filled with rage, fists clenched tightly.
They were on the verge of exploding!
As officers, they could only watch helplessly as the criminals killed.
Unfortunately, facing firearms and the promised explosives,
they could only remain passive!
Even Conan, who had a strong sense of justice, felt the same.
As for Yoko, she also dared not be oblivious at this moment.
In less than three minutes, two puppets walked out of the manor.
They indicated that everyone inside the manor had been dealt with.
Of course, these puppets were merely acting.
In essence, they were all controlled by Dao Yuan Shun.
“Now, those who needed to be dealt with have been dealt with.”
“Everyone here is willing to participate in the clown's game.”
The puppet standing at the main position began to mimic the clown's teasing and exaggerated tone.
In a way, the clown's state resembled a demonic cultivator releasing part of their true emotions.
At the same time!
With numerous bystanders calling the police, the entire police headquarters was shaken.
Everyone attending Officer Matsumoto's daughter's wedding had been taken hostage by the clown.
And many police officers had also been captured by the clown!!
“Deploy the special task force, this time, no matter the cost,”
“we must capture the clown!”
Director Hakuba spoke with anger.
It was known that so many people from the police headquarters had been taken hostage this time.
If they couldn’t resolve this perfectly, the entire police headquarters would become a laughingstock.
This was undoubtedly unacceptable!
