Conan figures out who the accomplice is. When the bus enters a tunnel, the armed men force Araide and a passenger named Shuichi Akai to wear the ski gear the hijackers were wearing. The hijackers then use Miharu Tomino, a woman chewing gum as a hostage and proceed to leave the bus.

Miharu Tomino is the hijacker's other accomplice.

Conan reveals that the woman is an accomplice of theirs and that they plan to detonate the bombs in the ski bags once they are off the bus. The Detective Boys are able to inform the driver to stop suddenly which allows Conan to apprehend the criminals. Tomino accidentally activates the bomb giving them a few minutes before it detonates. The passengers leave the bus but Haibara remains seated in the bus as she plans to die in the explosion and subsequently prevent the Black Organization from finding her and harming those around her. Conan rushes back in the bus, grabs Haibara, and escape through the back window of the bus before the explosion occurs.

The bus explodes.

Conan has Takagi take Haibara to the hospital in order to hide her from the Black Organization member. Later, Shuichi Akai is seen reporting to an unknown person and informing them that the target has not appeared.
