Chapter 32: Turning Iron into Gold
"hateful………"

In a flash, the square-faced man in black had no time to think. He only knew that his shot had failed.

He didn't even have time to think about why his bullet collided with the sudden gold coin, and he subconsciously pulled the trigger and fired the second shot.

Ze Yu raised the corner of his mouth and hooked his finger. After blocking the first bullet, the slightly deformed gold coin started to move again.

In less than a breath, the broken maple leaf gold coin directly blocked the muzzle of the square-faced man in black.

At this moment, the other party just pulled the trigger.

then………

boom!
The pistol in the square-faced man in black exploded.

A burst of fire suddenly appeared in the field, and the two men in black fell to the ground amidst a roar that pierced their eardrums, with their black clothes blown to shreds.

Under the terrifying power of the pistol exploding, the two men in black fell unconscious and lost all ability to resist.

"What's going on... this little brat..."

"If I had known... I would have never met him..."

In the moment before he fell into coma, this thought vaguely emerged in the mind of the square-faced man in black, and he felt a little regretful.

Then, his eyes went dark and he completely lost consciousness.

"Ahhh!"

Before Ze Yu and Conan could say anything, the three friends next to them started shouting.

Conan was originally a little surprised by the scene before him, but the exclamations of his three friends completely disrupted his mood.

He looked at his three friends helplessly and comforted them: "Ayumi, Genta, don't be afraid. The three bad guys have already fallen. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tai swallowed his saliva and said with some fear: "…What on earth happened just now?"

“I couldn’t see it clearly either.” Mitsuhiko forced a smile. “I only saw something shiny and golden, and then the gun in the bad guy’s hand exploded.”

"You must have seen it wrong. Where is that shiny golden thing?" Conan forced a smile and said in defense, "You must be too scared, so you are hallucinating."

Just when Conan was planning to fool everyone, Sawa Yu on the other side walked leisurely to the two men in black and glanced at them casually.

"I was injured by the explosion and fainted, but I didn't die. It turns out that the power of a pistol explosion is still very limited."

The luck of these two guys was pretty good, they just encountered a pistol explosion. Although they were seriously injured and looked a bit embarrassed, at least they managed to save their lives.

If it was some other more powerful device that exploded, these two guys might have been blown to death.

Ze Yu calmly picked up the broken gold coin and the deformed bullet on the ground. With a trace of electric light wrapped around his fingers, he directly melted the gold coin into golden liquid metal.

Then, the liquid metal quickly solidified and returned to its original appearance as the Maple Leaf Gold Coin. It looked like a freshly minted gold coin, shining with a new light, without any trace of its previous damage or deformation.

Ze Yu looked at the gold coins in his palm, then looked at the deformed bullet next to him. After thinking for a while, a flash of electricity flashed across his palm again, melting the bullet into liquid.

Then he started to get serious, because he wanted to do something that could only be done if he focused his attention.

Crackling... The metallic liquid in Ze Yu's palm gradually turned golden after being stimulated by lightning.

Ze Yu was doing something he had never done before. He disrupted the atomic structure of the liquid metal and reorganized the elements, trying to turn the liquid metal into gold.

This is undoubtedly a very difficult task, almost impossible to do, so in this process, Ze Yu added a little magical power.

After three seconds, the seriousness in Ze Yu's eyes disappeared, a hint of relief flashed across his face, and he clenched his fists.

When he opened his palm again, there were two identical maple leaf gold coins in his palm, with absolutely no difference between them.

His subtle manipulation at the microscopic level, coupled with the assistance of a trace of magical power, has completely transformed the liquid metal formed by melting steel bullets into real gold. Even if the goldsmiths were asked to reforge it, they would not be able to find the difference between this artificial gold and ordinary gold.

Ze Yu put the original maple leaf gold coin that was used to block the muzzle of the gun into his pocket, walked to the bags where many gold coins were stored, and threw the gold coin made of steel into them.

At this point, all the 15,000 maple leaf gold coins stolen by the 'Cabana Bandit Group' were gone.

Even if the police checked all the maple leaf gold coins, they would not find anything missing.

The three friends who were originally stopped by Conan saw Ze Yu coming over and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Sawaha-san!"

Ayumi pushed Conan aside with shining eyes, ran to Ze Yu, and asked, "What happened just now? Why did that guy's pistol suddenly explode?"

Ze Yu chuckled and showed a warm smile. He didn't rush to deny it, but said: "This is a secret."

"Zawayu-san." Mitsuhiko also ran over and said hurriedly, "I seemed to see something shiny and golden flying through the air just now. Was it a maple leaf gold coin?"

Just now, the three friends were stopped by Conan, so they did not see the lightning in Ze Yu's hand, but they saw the gold coin that cut through the sky.

Seeing them running to find Ze Yu, Conan, who was standing behind, smiled helplessly.

He had tried his best to conceal the matter and deceive his three friends, telling them that the scene just now was just an illusion.

However, Conan can deceive Genta and Ayumi, but he cannot deceive Mitsuhiko, the smartest of the three.

Seeing Mitsuhiko's eyes full of confusion and nervousness, Ze Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Guess?"

“Don’t be like this…” Mitsuhiko grabbed his hair with a headache.

He felt bad.

However, Ze Yu, who obviously knew the truth, refused to tell the truth, and he could not force him to tell it.

Mitsuhiko's face turned a little red, as if a cat was tickling his heart, and his mood became curious and frustrated.

"By the way, if Inspector Megure asks you about this later, you should just say..." Ze Yu suddenly said, "Those two guys were injured and passed out because their pistols exploded. As for the 'golden things flying through the air' and other unnecessary things, don't say anything."

"Why?" Ayumi asked curiously, "If I hide the truth, wouldn't that be deceiving people?"

"Of course this behavior can't be considered lying." Ze Yu explained: "Think about it carefully. If you tell this matter and then Officer Megure asks you about it, how should you answer?"

Ayumi suddenly felt distressed.
