Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 433

"This, how is this possible!"

After listening to the news given by Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mori felt unwell.

If what Inspector Megure said was true, doesn't it mean that the great detective Kogoro Mouri was actually deceived?
Damn it! How could he be willing to accept such a thing?

From the information blurted out by Kogoro Mouri, Conan found the last key cornerstone to support his reasoning.

"Wait a minute, the bank's money box!"

Looking at the messy empty boxes in front of him, Conan had an idea flash in his mind, "I remember Dr. Agasa said that there was a robbery of 10 billion yen by a trio of robbers recently. If you add the aluminum alloy box in front of me that looks like a bank's money box, then the answer is obvious. Hirota Masami, Hirota Kenzo and Hirota Akira are the criminals of this incident.

Because the three of them did not share the loot equally, Kenzo Hirota took the money and fled alone, forcing the two men to seek the help of detectives to find Kenzo Hirota's whereabouts. Kenzo Hirota's death later and now Akira Hirota's death both indicate that the woman who pretended to be Kenzo Hirota's daughter is the final winner. "

——Ms. Masami, Kenzo Hirota, and Akira Hirota are not related by blood. That must be the case.

The three of them have no connection at all, but if they are put together with the recent incident, all the mysteries can be solved.

That was the case of the trio of robbers who robbed 1 billion yuan. Judging from the number of boxes, they should contain the 1 billion yuan that was stolen.

Mr. Hirota will drive the same route tomorrow just to practice his escape.

Although the plan was successful, Mr. Hirota betrayed the other two, took the money and ran away.

The other two were very anxious, so they made up a story and asked two famous detectives to help them find Mr. Hirota's whereabouts, and then kill him to silence him after finding him.

The person who killed the witness should be the tall man, the person who pretended to be Guangtian's daughter should be the mastermind of this incident, and the person who poisoned the tall man should be the woman, and her purpose was to take all the huge amount of money for herself. "

"Wait a minute, although the hairstyle and the feeling are different, the body shape and the amount of luggage..."

"Wait a minute, that waitress has the same eyes as Hirota Masami, and the same figure. No wonder she feels so familiar to me, this is the reason!"

Conan suddenly saw two figures overlap in his mind, and he suddenly realized and said to himself, "Oh no, it looks like she wants to use this opportunity to escape."

If it were him, after getting such a large sum of money and using tricks to deceive the detective, he would also try to escape!
Conan calmed down and turned around and ran out of room 802, heading for the emergency stairs next to the elevator.

"The mastermind is Hirota Masami, who pretended to be Hirota Kenzo's daughter!~"

……

"Damn it, I'm a step too late?"

Conan ran up eight flights of stairs to the lobby and arrived at the hotel entrance panting, and found that Hirota Masami had just left in a taxi.

"Master, please follow the taxi in front." In order to lose her trail, Conan decisively chose to cut in line and get into the taxi.

No, it’s not too late. As long as he can catch up with Hirota Masami in time, everything will be fine!
"Hey, why aren't you lining up?" The person who was cut in line was unhappy and wanted to pull Conan out of the car.

"Do you know that the woman in the car in front is a robber and murderer? You will be responsible if she runs away!" Conan slapped the man's hand away, leaving him speechless, and then closed the car door.

"Master..." Conan was interrupted by the driver before he could finish his words.

"Don't worry, I won't lose you!" the driver assured him solemnly, then he stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out. "Little brother, when I was young, I won the title of the God of Cars in Akina Mountain. This is nothing."

The driver was indeed not bragging. No matter how many vehicles there were on the road, he always found an opportunity to weave in and follow closely behind the taxi that Hirota Masami was in.

……

At a port in Tokyo, a taxi driver slammed the brakes and stopped steadily.

"Hey! Why is she coming here?" When Conan saw Hirota Masami getting off the car and walking towards the dark and hazy port, an idea popped into his mind.

Although he didn't know why the woman named Hirota Masami came here, it didn't matter. He would find out after he followed her.

"Master, no need to give me the change!"

Conan, who was in a hurry, shook off the thought in his mind, put down the ten thousand yuan bill, and got out of the car in a hurry.

"Oh! You are so impatient!" The driver looked at the 10,000 yuan bill on the back seat, then sighed and muttered as he watched the two people walking away through the car window, "I think it's impossible to get a taxi in this place. Forget it, I'll just wait here for you to come out."

The driver leaned back in his seat, lit a cigarette, took a puff of it, closed his eyes and began to relax and enjoy himself.

………………

"That's not right! How come she disappeared after just a while?" Conan sighed helplessly after looking at the neatly packed containers in front of him.

It was clear that he didn't waste that long, so how come he couldn't find the other person?
Did he go to the wrong place, or did the woman named Hirota Masami notice that someone was following her and so found a way to avoid his pursuit?

After thinking for a moment, Conan randomly chose a direction and walked in it.

He believed that his tracking was not noticed by Hirota Masami. Since there was no problem in this aspect, it meant that Hirota Masami ran too fast and he could not catch up with her.

Even though he knew this, he didn't know which direction the other party was going for a while.

There is no other way. If we want to find Hirota Masami, we can only search for her among the maze-like containers.

Just as Conan dived into the maze-like container group to look for Hirota Masami, Hirota Masami had already met Okita, with whom she had agreed to meet here.

The persevering Conan kept his eyes and ears open and ran quickly along the gaps between the containers.

Suddenly, Conan heard someone talking while running, and he stopped in his tracks. He quietly looked out from the container and saw Okita pointing a gun at Hirota Masami, who he was looking for. It seemed that he was going to kill her. Just as Okita opened the safety and was about to shoot Hirota Masami, Conan pressed the button of his power shoes and kicked the tool next to him at Okita with full force.

The scientific tool that was endowed with super kinetic energy instantly knocked Okita away the moment he pulled the trigger, causing him to crash heavily into the container. The bullet that was originally intended to kill Hirota Masami deviated from its original trajectory and passed through her shoulder, splashing a streak of blood...

"How are you hurt?" Conan glanced at Okita who was knocked unconscious, then hurried to Hirota Masami who was sitting on the ground, concerned about her injuries.

"It's just a scratch!" Hirota Masami, with a painful look on her face, covered her injured shoulder and said with all her strength.

"You are the kid from the detective agency!" Hirota Masami looked at Conan approaching with a surprised expression, "How do you know I'm here?"

"A transmitter!" Seeing the surprise on Hirota Masami's face, Conan, in a good mood, gave the answer without hesitation.

"Transmitter?" A big question mark appeared above Hirota Masami's head.

"When we first met at the office, I accidentally put this on the strap of your watch." Conan, who was happy to share, explained the reason. "Later, when I tracked the transmitter to the hotel, I happened to meet you coming out. I saw you carrying a large luggage, and finally found out where the robbed 1 billion yen was."

"Who are you?" Hirota Masami looked at Conan, who looked like a child, in disbelief.

"My name is Edogawa Conan, and I'm a detective!" Conan introduced himself confidently in response to Hirota Masami's question.

"I had no idea that thing was stuck on my watch." Hirota Masami said awkwardly while looking at her right wrist which was covering her left shoulder.

"Isn't that watch something that belonged to that tall man?" Conan said, thinking of the watch on the hand of Hirota Akira who died in the hotel.

"No, that's because he used too much force when he killed Mr. Hirota and broke his watch, so I gave him mine." Looking at the puzzled Conan, Hirota Masami, enduring the pain, explained why the watch was with him.

"I think that man planned to kill everyone from the beginning!" Conan looked at Okita who fell unconscious to the ground and expressed his thoughts.

"Yes!" Hirota Masami glanced at him and said bitterly, "It was because he knew about this that Mr. Hirota took the initiative to attack first."

"Betraying the organization!" Conan thought, "So that means that person is the mastermind behind the 1 billion yen robbery."

"That's right! Everything is planned by Okita and he is recruiting the necessary personnel." Hirota Masami directly confessed everything about Okita, "Okita is still recruiting people to form a criminal group to carry out robbery."

"It was rumored in the past that he would kill everyone to silence them as soon as his work was finished. I didn't expect it to be true. It's really surprising." Hirota Masami couldn't help but smile at herself when she thought of how she was almost killed by Okita.

"Aren't you going to run away?" Conan looked up at the stars dotted in the night sky, then looked straight at Hirota Masami who was sitting on the ground, and asked abruptly.

"I'm tired of this kind of life!" Hirota Masami looked at Conan's serious smile, shook her head slightly, and said, "Let me tell you something. The suitcase with 1 billion yen is..."

"It was placed at the hotel counter!" Conan interrupted Hirota Masami, and showed her a look of "I already knew it" in front of her who was astonished, "How did you know!"

"That's because you didn't bring your travel suitcase when you took the taxi!" Conan felt that this was another opportunity for him to show off his reasoning, "That should be it!"

"You are really amazing!" Hirota Masami looked at the confident Conan and praised him...

.........

The stars in the night sky became brighter and brighter, and Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mouri, and the worried Mouri Ran arrived late.

Looking at the injured Hirota Masami and the man lying next to him, Maori Kogoro was confused and puzzled, "What is this?"

"This is Mr. Okita, the mastermind behind the entire robbery," Conan said.

"Is he the mastermind?" Kogoro Mori didn't quite believe that this man was the mastermind. Otherwise, since he had already taken the money away, it would be impossible for him to come back.

"Yes!" Conan said confidently, "That's what Miss Yamei said. I also heard their conversation clearly just now."

"What you hear may not be true." Maori Kogoro walked in front of Hirota Masami and squatted down. "Excuse me, where is the 1 billion that was robbed?"

Hirota Masami didn't say anything, so Conan spoke first: "At the hotel counter, she deposited the money at the hotel counter."

Maori Kogoro nodded, "I see."

"You put so much thought into it, but you didn't expect..."

He raised his hand, pointed at the man lying on the ground, and continued: "This man has secretly followed you, so he deposited all the so-called money at the counter. In this way, as long as he can't find the money, you will have an extra layer of protection. Am I right?"

Hirota Masami nodded and said, "As expected of a famous detective, you are absolutely right."

"The man who died in the hotel was your accomplice, right? You killed Kenzo Hirota together, and then he died in your hands." Kogoro Mori expressed his thoughts.

"Yes," Hirota Masami nodded, a sneer on her lips, "This man has been pestering me since we met. He actually believed that I would follow him wholeheartedly and wanted to get both money and beauty."

"Wait a minute." Conan came closer, "You mean, you were in cahoots with the man who died in the hotel."

"Yes," Hirota Masami nodded, "We have been looking for Kenzo Hirota for several days, but there is no clue. We had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure and found Mr. Mori, the famous detective, to help us find Kenzo Hirota."

According to Hirota Masami's confession, the 10 billion yen suitcase was found at the hotel counter.

Under the identification of Hirota Masami, Okita was arrested as the mastermind of the 10 billion yen robbery case.

"Thank you, little detective!" Hirota Masami, who was also arrested, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Conan with a grateful smile, then blinked.

Conan was stunned for a moment, then understood what was meant. He looked at the relieved and relaxed figure of Hirota Masami who was being taken away, and murmured to himself, "Goodbye, Miss Masami!"
