Chapter 200 The Billion Dollar Robber

Chapter 201 The Billion Dollar Robber
Not long after Conan walked out of the bank, his father had already replaced the bank passbook. Although it was card number five, fortunately the bank was changing shifts at noon and the new customer service staff were all energetic and handling issues, so his father's passbook was replaced immediately.

"Well, the passbook has been changed, let's go." Dad greeted us. It seems that this huge amount of money is enough for him to have a good drink during the next lunch time. "Is Conan outside? Let's go find him first."

"Ah, wait a minute, uncle." Seeing my dad was about to leave, I hurriedly stopped him. "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. Can you wait outside for me? I want to go to the toilet first."

"Tsk, what a troublesome kid, go!" Dad frowned, but he didn't complain too much. "Let's go outside to find Conan first, hurry up." Dad urged.

"Hi~~~" I responded with a smile, and then ran towards the toilet. After bypassing the toilet, I continued to walk towards the staff room at the back. After bypassing two cameras, I came to a room near the staff room and hid there.

I remember that when my dad went out to look for Conan, he would encounter Mingmei and her gang robbing on the way. Then Conan would chase them, my dad would go to see the injured guard, and Xiaolan would call the police. The whole process would take more than an hour. It would take Mingmei about 30 minutes to come back here after the robbery. During this time, she would definitely come back to work and control the subsequent content. The place where she changed clothes should be the section from the back door to the female staff dressing room without surveillance. The room I am in now is exactly the road she must pass through. Next, I just have to wait.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, time passed quickly, and soon, the unique tapping sound of high heels came over, and soon, Mingmei in black clothes appeared in front of me. As she walked, she hurriedly unbuttoned her black clothes, revealing the bank clerk's work clothes underneath.

"...Ah ah!"

Just as she was walking past me, I quietly came out of the room, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into the room. At the same time, Mingmei tripped slightly and lost her balance instantly, falling into the room. Of course, as she fell, I stepped forward and supported her back before her body hit the ground, and covered her mouth with my other hand. Then I dragged her in, and after she came in, I gently put her on the ground and removed the gun from her hand. The whole action took less than three seconds.

"Shh..." I put my finger in front of my mouth and whispered softly. At the same time, the hand on her mouth slowly lifted up. "Don't make a sound. I'll go close the door." Ignoring Mingmei's reaction, I stood up. After closing the door, I walked in front of her and whispered. "I'm sorry, Mingmei sister, for the convenience of explanation and to prevent you from screaming in an instant, I used such a violent method. That... I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"You are the one who was with Conan just now... Wait, what did you call me?" Mingmei sat up and looked at me, her eyes full of confusion and doubt, but more of anticipation.

"Hey... Have you really forgotten me after not seeing me for ten years?" I raised the corners of my mouth slightly. At the same time, I lifted my pale golden hair. "It's me, Sister Mingmei, the one who lived across from you ten years ago."

"Bing... You are, Bing?!" Mingmei was stunned when she saw my face, and then she realized that the little figure standing in front of her ten years ago overlapped with the child in front of her. "I'm not dreaming, Bing, is it really you? You're still alive, you're really still alive!" Mingmei's eyes were filled with tears of excitement.

"Shh..." I stretched out my finger and pressed it against her lips. "It's me, Sister Mingmei. I'm sorry. I know you have a lot to say. I also want to give you a reunion hug, but now is not the time." I said with a serious face. "I know you are surprised by my current appearance, but if there is anything, we can talk about it in the evening. Dry your tears, pretend that nothing happened, and go to work normally. Take the train to Ginza tonight, then change two taxis to go around, and finally wait for me at the Ginza subway station. See you at 8pm.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

After explaining the current situation to Mingmei, Mingmei also realized her current situation, so she looked at me reluctantly again, then hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. Although it took less than a minute from seeing me to recognizing me, Mingmei was sure that the child in front of her was really Bing. Although she had only seen that confident smile once, she would never forget it in her life. Because it was the owner of this smile who had been protecting the lives of herself and her sister for ten years. Although life was hard, at least they survived. So with this belief, Mingmei resolutely chose to believe what I said directly. After that, I also walked out of this small room. Of course, the clothes that Sister Mingmei wore when she robbed just now had been put into the necklace by me. This kind of evidence of guilt must not be left behind.

"Xiaoxun, that's great, you're okay." Back at the bank, Xiaolan looked relieved.

"Eh? I'm fine. What's wrong, Sister Xiaolan? Why are you asking?" I pretended to be stupid.

"Hey, Xiaoxun, you don't know, we just encountered bank robbers outside." Xiaolan frowned and said to me. "Dad has contacted Officer Megure, and Conan also went to chase the robbers. I don't know how they are doing now."

"As for Conan, he should be fine. Look, he's back." As I was speaking, I pointed to the bank entrance. Conan had already returned, but he looked a little disheveled, with dust all over his body.

"Conan, are you okay?" Seeing Conan's miserable appearance, Xiaolan hurried over to help him clean the dust off his body.

"Well, I'm fine, but the robber just got away." Conan said with some regret. "The robber was driving too fast. He must be an experienced driver."

"Well, it should be said that it's a good thing that you let the robber run away." I shrugged sarcastically.

"What do you mean?" Conan looked at me unhappily.

"Well, let me ask you. Were you just chasing a bank robber?" I said calmly.

"Yeah. Didn't I tell you that?"

"So, how many robbers are there?"

"I saw two. But..."

"No, no, no, what I want to ask is, do they have guns?"

"Of course there's a gun!"

"So? Did you chase him to get killed?" I looked at Conan like an idiot. "You knew the robber had a gun, but you still chased him alone? Do you think you are Kamen Rider?"

"I..." Conan was speechless. Because chasing the robbers was a subconscious action of his, but the danger behind it was indeed that Conan's actions this time were not well thought out. Fortunately, the other car was fast. Conan did not chase after it, otherwise, even though I knew that Conan did not die in the plot, he was really killed by the butterfly effect this time.

Soon, Inspector Megure brought people to the scene to understand the situation from the parties involved.

"Nana Nani?! The amount of money robbed was one billion?!" Dad was instantly scared out of his wits. One billion, this is not a small number. If this ten billion fell into Dad's hands, he could directly buy the entire building where the detective agency is located.

"Ah, it is said that the cash distributed by the head office to each branch, a total of 10 billion, was all robbed." Officer Megure said seriously. After all, this was also a big case for him. "There are two criminals, one with a pistol and the other with a shotgun. Conan, the license plate number you provided for me should be correct, right?" "Yes, it is definitely correct." Conan said affirmatively.

"Well, fortunately the injuries of the guards are not serious. We can get some information out of them." Megure said, looking at a long-haired guard who was providing information.

"Well... when the money truck arrived at the bank, I was ready to move the cash down as planned. But at that moment, something broke the window and bounced on the change belt. When I looked outside, I saw a masked criminal pointing a gun at me. I also called out to Koyama-kun and Murata-kun in front of me, but there was no response. So there was nothing I could do. I just..."

"Strange..." Conan felt a little confused after listening to the testimony.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Well... at that time, I heard the sound of breaking glass, and immediately went to see. But I saw the criminals and the guard moving cash. It seemed that there was no time for him to call for help?"

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows. "You mean, the guard lied?" I asked knowingly.

"Well, I think it's very likely." Conan frowned.

"That's easy. You tease him a little and I'll go and listen." I walked gently to the guard and found a position where I could hear his heartbeat clearly without being conspicuous. Then I nodded to Conan.

"Hey, Uncle Guard." Seeing my gesture, Conan pretended to be a child and said, "I think you are lucky."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" The guard's heart suddenly jumped, and I clearly heard it. This unlucky guard, although I already knew that you were one of the criminals, but you were so scared by a child's questioning of you? But think about it, he and Sister Mingmei are both peripheral members. As peripheral members, facing so many policemen, I guess his psychological quality is not very good at this time.

"Think about it, the windows of the money truck are all made of black glass, right? In this case, the criminals' bullet not only didn't hit you, but also hit the belt with the change without letting the bullet fly around. It seems that if you are not too lucky... they knew the layout of the money truck in advance!"

"Uh... you, you kid, what nonsense are you talking about." The guard said guiltily. Conan ignored him and looked at me. I nodded helplessly and told him that there was indeed something wrong with the guard. Conan smiled gently at this. Then he turned his eyes to the other side. Following Conan's gaze, I saw that Sister Mingmei had returned to work, but because she was late for a long time, she was being scolded by her boss. Judging from her expression, she should have recovered. It's just that from time to time, Mingmei would sneak a glance in my direction, and I nodded to her imperceptibly. Of course, Conan didn't see all this.

"Inspector!" As you said this, you, a young police officer, ran towards us.

"Who is that new face..." I asked Conan.

"Oh? That's Officer Takagi, and he's also Officer Megure's new recruit. Oh, and speaking of him, I have to mention Officer Sato. Of course, I'll introduce him to you next time I have the chance."

"Forget it. I don't have a good impression of the police." I shook my head and said.

"Captain, we found a vehicle that looks like the one that the criminals were fleeing in, near the railway in TR County."

"Very good, then let's go and take a look now. Brother Mori, you come too!" Inspector Megure said solemnly.

"Oh, I understand." Dad said without hesitation. "Xiaolan, you can go back with Conan and Xiaoxun first."

"Okay, I understand." Xiaolan nodded. "Then let's go back... Eh? Where's Conan?" Seeing that there was only a pale golden figure beside her, Xiaolan tilted her head in confusion.

"Well... I ran out with Uncle Maori." I said lightly.

"Eh?! This kid." Xiaolan frowned. "Forget it, let's go back." Xiaolan said helplessly. "By the way, what do you want to eat for dinner? Xiaoxun."

"Me? Oh, I won't eat at home, Sister Xiaolan." I said with a smile.

"Huh?" Xiaolan was surprised.

"Well, that's right. My mother is still in Japan. I'm going back to her place tonight." I giggled and used Jingliu as a cover.

"Oh... yeah, it's only been two days since the last incident. Your mother probably hasn't left Japan yet." Xiaolan thought for a moment and said, "Well, okay, do you want me to take you back?"

"No need, Xiaolan. I'll take a taxi back by myself." I waved to Xiaolan. "Then I'll leave first."

"Really? Xiaoxun really clings to his mother." Xiaolan's face flashed with helplessness, but also a little relief and understanding. "That's right, it's hard to meet in the first place. Of course we should cherish each other."

On the other side, I had already run out of the bank and hailed a taxi.

"Little brother, are you alone?" the driver asked me.

"Yes, uncle, please, I'll be your guest."
