[Conan] I just want to be a magician quietly

An hour later, Inspector Megure finally sent the last injured person to the ambulance. He was sweating profusely and didn't care about his image. He sat down on the ground and panted.

After resting for only two minutes, he stood up again and told his men to drive to the Beika Bank.

Although the Beika Bank should have been cold by now.

But if you warm it up... no, if you try hard, you can still find some clues.

Wakagi Ryo held Jingguang Cat in his left hand and Conan in his right hand, and he came to the lobby of Beika Bank safely in the police car.

The face of the bank manager looked paler than a ghost, and the whole person looked like he was fished out of the water, sweating constantly.

After seeing the police, the bank manager looked at Inspector Megure like a ghost, and then took the police and detectives to the vault without saying a word.

It's not a big deal to be robbed of 1 billion yen by robbers.

Anyway, the troubled Beihua Bank has been robbed countless times throughout the year, so this little bit of cash is just a drop in the bucket.

What is really serious is the missing gold in stock.

"It's... right... here..."

Wakamura Ryo turned his head and glanced at the manager who seemed to have lost his soul and spoke weakly, wondering if this person would perform a live fall in the next second.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously stepped away.

Maori Kogoro looked at the empty vault, then looked at the bank manager, and for a moment he wondered if this person was stealing from the company.

The door of the vault is double-opening. In addition to the mechanical password lock, it also has fingerprint locks, voice-activated locks and iris locks.

There is also a safety relocking device on the inside of the vault door. Even if the vault door is damaged, the double lock device will automatically lock the door latch. Not to mention, this extremely heavy vault door looks intact.

Not to mention the traces of cutting or blasting, there were not even many scratches.

After several detectives entered the vault, they consciously dispersed to various corners of the vault and began to check the interior of the vault inch by inch.

"When was the last time the vault was opened?"

Inspector Megure looked at the bank manager with a serious face, holding the police manual.

"At nine o'clock the day before yesterday morning."

The bank manager's eyes were empty, and he answered Inspector Megure's question numbly.

"A month ago, the reserve gold was transported to our bank and temporarily placed in the vault. After that, every three days, we would open the vault for inspection. Until the day before yesterday, the gold bars were still here."

Inspector Megure's mouth twitched, and he turned his head and exchanged glances with Maori Kogoro.

At this moment, his thoughts were magically synchronized with Maori Kogoro. Could this batch of gold be stolen by the bank manager?

"Can you open the vault alone?"

The manager shook his head, "No, it takes three managers to open the door of this vault together.

Every time we check the vault, we do it together."

Inspector Megure wrote down the names of these people and asked his police officers to bring the other two managers over for questioning.

"Brother Wakagi, look here."

Conan seemed to have found some clues. He turned his head to look at the position of Maori Kogoro, and then called Wakagi Ryo over.

"Brother Wakagi, look, there is mud in the cracks of this brick..."

"Boom!"

Wakagi Ryo walked a few steps in the direction of Conan, and heard the weak beeping of the danger sensor, and then his feet were empty, and the whole person fell down involuntarily.

Wakagi Ryo's eyes flickered, but when he saw Kudo Yukiko who had been paying attention to him from time to time behind the crowd, he did not immediately turn over and fly back to the ground, but chose to reach out and grab the edge of the hole that suddenly appeared, and then skillfully shouted for help.

Conan, who was covered in dust: ...

I just wanted you to come over and look at the clues, but you stepped on the entrance to the tunnel that we had been looking for for a long time and couldn't find?

It is worth mentioning that the wall of this tunnel feels very smooth. It doesn't look like it was dug out bit by bit with a shovel or other tools. It looks a bit like his decomposition technique?

Wakagi Ryo blinked his eyes and suddenly remembered that about a month ago, Rum asked him for three bottles of "decomposition liquid".

Love is for digging holes~

After hearing the movement here, Hattori Heiji walked to the edge of the pit with an expression of "you are worthy of it" and reached out to pull up Wakagi Ryo, who was half hanging in the air.

The appearance of a tunnel in the vault was not too unexpected by the detectives present.

After all, the door of the vault was intact, and the gold inside wasBut it disappeared. If the three bank managers had not conspired to secretly transport the gold, then the only possibility was the tunnel.

Bai Ma Tan looked at Wakagi Ryo with a slightly curious look.

Just now at the venue, Wakagi Ryo was almost hit by a sniper bullet; during the serial car accident, he was almost affected by the secondary explosion; now he almost stepped on the air and fell directly into an unknown deep tunnel...

How could a person really be so unlucky.

Wait, is this the reason why he has never held a book signing event?

Bai Ma Tan touched his chin and felt as if he had touched the threshold of the truth.

Everyone followed the tunnel that Wakagi Ryo stepped on and came to a deserted house - it was the residence of Mr. Takahashi Goro, the second deceased person today according to the information.

"Sure enough, this murderer killed Mr. Goro..."

"Ahem, Mr. Takahashi." Maori Kogoro corrected Hattori Heiji who was in analysis mode with displeasure.

Hattori Heiji:...

"Mr. Takahashi was killed in order to occupy his house. Starting from the sundries warehouse, he dug a tunnel directly into the vault of the Beika Bank... No."

"It's really not right." Hakuba adjusted the deerstalker hat on his forehead.

"Ten tons of gold in total cannot be easily moved away in one night, and we found nothing in Mr. Takahashi's house. Not to mention gold bricks, we didn't even find gold foil.

So this must be a long-term plan. The criminal transported the gold in batches within a month after the gold was delivered here."

Wakagi Ryo patted the dust off his body, rubbed his shoulders and said.

"This raises a question, that is, Mr. Takahashi must have known about it, and he may even be one of their accomplices.

So, the murder that happened at the book signing today was simply a gang fight?"

Conan's eyes lit up, and suddenly he looked like he understood.

"Sister Xiaolan, call and ask how Miss Inoue is doing now after being sent to the hospital?"

Mouri Ran:?

Although I didn't quite understand what happened, my body had already reflexively reached out for my phone and dialed the hospital number.

"What? Miss Inoue is missing?!"

Mouri Kogoro heard his daughter's exclamation, and immediately touched his stubble in confusion.

"Strange, she was poisoned, not sick. With such a serious condition, a normal person should have to rest in the hospital for a while. Judging from her clothes, she doesn't seem to be unable to afford the hospitalization fee."

Conan/Hattori/Hakuba Tan: "As expected!"

Kagemitsu, who already had PTSD from the "You understand me, I'm confused" part, subconsciously stretched out his claws and gently scratched Wakaki Ryo's arm through the cat bag. His big watery eyes were full of: Please explain!

This wave, I'm afraid it's a covert operation.

Wakaki Ryo is more certain of his previous speculation. The peripheral members don't have the ability and courage to transport more than a ton of gold. If it weren't for Rum's secret manipulation, he would be exposed in front of Conan tomorrow!
