Chapter 72: Date (Subscription Request)

“Here is a piece of news. Two police officers from our city were robbed by three armed gangsters when they were transporting banknotes to the Mika branch of the Shiling Bank yesterday afternoon. The amount of the robbery was as high as 1 billion yen. The Metropolitan Police Department has now intervened to investigate the case. If there are any witnesses, please call the hotline below to report it in time…”

Maori Detective Agency.

Watching the news on TV, Maori Kogoro scratched his stomach and said drunkenly: “These gangsters are really lawless.”

There were three robbers, two of whom were between 1.75 and 1.80 meters tall, and the other one was less than 1.70 meters tall. All three wore hoods at the time of the crime, and one of them sounded neutral, most likely a woman…

Conan sat on the sofa, listening carefully to all the details about the case broadcast on TV.

“Two o’clock yesterday afternoon? That was exactly the time that Uncle Maori had planned to go to the bank to deposit money.”

However, at noon, Xia He suddenly called and said that he wanted them to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of his new store, and also promised to give Maori Kogoro a sum of money as an appearance fee.

It was the first time that he was invited to attend such a public event, so our famous detective ran there happily at the first opportunity.

As the boss, Xia He and himself only arrived at the scene at around five o’clock…

Could this be a coincidence?

“That boy, is there something he is hiding from me?”

He touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

……

Metropolitan Police Department.

“Have you checked the surveillance?” Megure Jusan put down the phone and asked anxiously.

Ida Kou, who was holding a toothpick in his mouth, nodded when he heard this, and then played the surveillance record on the screen, “It is this black business car. The last place it was seen was near the Southern Aquarium. Gao Mu is now on his way to investigate.”

“Where’s the license plate number?”

“I checked the license plate number and it’s fake. There is no information about the owner at the moment.”

A full 1 billion yen…

Megure Jusan frowned.

If this case cannot be solved, his life will be difficult in the near future.

“How about calling Brother Maori to come and give it a try?” he said after thinking for a moment.

It is not a shameful thing here for the police to ask for help from detectives.

On the contrary, they are even very happy to see detectives at the crime scene.

“If all else fails, you can call Brother Xia He.”

Although Xia He’s current occupation is not a detective, in the eyes of Megure Jusan, Xia He’s ability to solve cases is much better than that of “Sleeping Kogoro”.

……

On the other side, the residence of the Jiu Niang family.

Brother Xia He was lying on a massage chair, sipping a cup of pearl milk tea.

Meatball lay at Xiahe’s feet, the whole dog facing the air conditioner, enjoying the cool breeze and sleeping soundly.

Wakasa Rumi, who was sitting opposite Xia He, said, “I know you can change your appearance, but how did you imitate the height and physique?”

She was curious.

You know, Akemi Miyano’s height is only about 168 cm.

Xia He is 187 cm tall!

Such a huge gap…will the other party really not notice it?
“Just lower the hem of your clothes, pull up your trouser legs, use the visual difference, and then walk with your legs half bent, isn’t that enough? As for my physique, I’m not a muscular man, so if I wear a little thicker clothes, basically I can’t tell the difference.”

As the saying goes, he has muscles when he takes off his clothes, but he looks thin when he puts on clothes. He is a muscular type. Unless he is a guy with amazing eyesight, the chances of him getting away with it are still quite high. Of course, it can be concluded that it is easy to deceive Kenzo Hirota and Akira Hirota, but if he wants to deceive Gin… that would be a bit difficult.

Why is there no reward for being able to change your height and weight at will?

For example, bone shrinking skills.

He thought to himself.

“By the way, where’s Miyano Akemi?”

“In the apartment I just rented, even though she had no intention of struggling, I still tied her hands and feet just in case.”

Wakasa Rumi said, taking a deep breath, “But you are really brave, you stole a billion yen… I guess the police in the Metropolitan Police Department are busy now.”

No, it was stolen by the Black Organization. What does it have to do with me, Xia He?
Xia He blinked his eyes, but said, “In the next few days, I still need you to do me a favor. Of course, strictly speaking, it’s to help Hirota Masami… No, it’s to help Miyano Akemi.”

……

The next two days.

Just as Xia He expected, Kenzo Hirota and Akira Hirota died one after another.

One hanged himself at home.

One died suddenly in a luxury suite in the hotel.

You don’t need to recall the plot to know that these two people were most likely silenced by the winery.

Miyano Akemi’s cell phone also received a text message from Gin early this morning, asking her to bring the stolen money and meet at the abandoned warehouse in Beika Port at 7 o’clock in the evening three days later.

In response to this, Xia He said…it’s a good thing that he didn’t say what month or date it was.

Otherwise, if we don’t know the date until the day itself, it would seem a bit hasty.

“By the way, Liu Meijie, can you go to the department store and buy me some honey, yellow and red food coloring, flour, and cocoa powder?”

“What do you want these for? Are you planning to launch a new type of milk tea?”

“You’ll know then.”

……

three days later.

7 p.m.

The sun sets and the dusk falls.

“Miyano Akemi” got out of a red car and walked to the agreed location alone.

Not long after, when she entered an abandoned warehouse, Gin and Vodka also emerged from the shadows, looked at her with a smile and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Hirota… No, it should be Miyano Akemi.”

“I have a question, why did you kill those two people?” Miyano Akemi suddenly asked.

“Because this is our usual style.” Gin grinned in a very indifferent tone, “Okay, you can hand over the money now.”

“Where is my sister? Where is she now? According to our previous agreement, you said that as long as I get the 1 billion yen, you will let my sisters and I leave the organization.”

“I’m afraid this is a bit difficult. After all, your sister is one of the few top minds in the organization.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gin took out a pistol and pointed it at Miyano Akemi.

at the same time……

600 meters away from the warehouse in a straight line.

Xia He was crawling on the rooftop of a high-rise building, holding a sniper rifle and pointing the scope at Gin’s head.
