Chapter 148 Although I Can't Open the Lock, I Can Blast the Door
Both Kogoro Mouri and Conan felt there was little hope, but Ran Mouri was very optimistic.
She also sympathized with Hirota Masami's experience. After asking Mouri Kogoro, and learning that he had no idea where to find someone next, Maori Ran decisively dragged the two of them to the racecourse.
She originally wanted to keep the cat at home, but the cat hugged her leg and refused to let go, so she had to take her with her.
When the group arrived at the gate of the racecourse, they were stopped by a sign saying "No pets allowed".
Just as she was wondering where to put the cat, Mao Lilan suddenly saw a somewhat familiar middle-aged man walking out of the gate of the racecourse.
The man was holding a newspaper and reading it as he walked along the street and entered a residential area.
"Look at that person..." Mao Lilan was stunned, pulled Maori Kogoro and Conan, then raised his hand and pointed, "He looks like Mr. Hirota."
Mouri Kogoro took out the photo suspiciously, and after comparing it for a moment, his expression changed: "What does it look like? It's obviously the same one! Chase after it!"
…
Having said that, after seeing that Hirota Kenzo's freedom was completely unrestricted, Mouri Kogoro immediately realized that he was not kidnapped or assassinated, but had actively lost contact.
If you rush over to talk to someone rashly, you will only alert the enemy.
So he chose to follow the other party quietly to his home. After confirming Hirota Kenzo's address, Mouri Kogoro returned to the detective agency in high spirits and called Miyano Akemi.
Soon, "father and daughter" reunited.
Miyano Akemi looked very excited to see Hirota Kenzo, but Hirota Kenzo's face was full of horror.
It's a pity that Maori and others were immersed in the joy of "helping the poor high school girl find her father" and did not notice this.
As soon as the detectives left, Kitano Satoshi, who was hiding nearby, followed them upstairs.
…
In the early hours of the morning, Shiraishi used his mask state to visit Kenzo Hirota's house. Through the window, he saw a man hanging in the room.
This residential area is not high-end. There are no doormen or cameras, and the security measures are almost zero.
Shiraishi walked to Kenzo Hirota's door with a pile of things.
The door was unlocked and opened with a push. The living room was turned upside down and four cats were looking up at Hirota Kenzo's body and howling.
Shiraishi passed by them, found Kenzo Hirota's luggage, and placed the bomb equipment. He also put a few professional books on his bookshelf, pretending that he was a bomb enthusiast.
He also carefully wrote down the price of the books, which were all reimbursable.
After carefully sorting out the scene, Shiraishi released the state and returned to his body.
…
One billion yen was finally obtained without any risk, and now only one of Miyano Akemi's two accomplices was left, and her pressure dropped sharply.
The two settled temporarily in a high-end hotel.
Kitano Satoshi is not too wary of weak girls like Miyano Akemi, and even wants to develop this accomplice into his girlfriend.
He looked at the piles of money in the room, and then at the beautiful Miyano Akemi, and felt that he had reached the peak of his life.
He looked up to the sky and laughed for a while. Kitano Satoshi was a little thirsty. He took the herbal tea handed by Miyano Akemi and took a sip. Then his life stopped at the peak stage.
Kitano Satoshi soon vomited blood and fell to the ground.
After Miyano Akemi handed over the tea, she went to the bathroom to put on makeup. When she came back, she was shocked when she saw the people on the ground.
I went over to take a closer look and found that the person was dead.
Miyano Akemi's face was pale. Gin clearly said on the phone that she would give her sleeping pills, but now it seems that what she gave her was clearly sleeping pills.
The phone dinged, and there was an additional message. The sender was displayed as a mess of garbled characters, but Miyano Akemi knew that it was from Gin.
Gin seemed to have a clear control over her movements and asked her to bring the money to the agreed port in one hour, handing over the money in one hand and Miyano Shiho in the other.
Miyano Akemi rubbed her forehead irritably, and now, she had no other choice.
Robbery of a bank is a crime in itself. Later, when Kenzo Hirota was strangled to death by Satoshi Kitano, although she tried to stop him, she did not try her best. Then she poisoned and killed... Even if this was not the intention, it was true that she indirectly killed two people.
Both are serious crimes, so don't think about it anymore. You can only hand over the money to the organization as soon as possible, and then take your sister away and change your identity.
If you want to get to the port on time, you have to leave now.
Before leaving with the box, Miyano Akemi looked at Kitano Satoshi's body and finally became wary of this "deal" between the organization and her.
She struggled for a moment, but finally left the box containing the money at the hotel counter and walked to the parking lot alone.
Last night, after she and Kitano Satoshi went to find Kenzo Hirota, Kitano Satoshi discovered that the money was missing.
After questioning, they learned the truth - Kenzo Hirota was a man who loved to enjoy himself. After getting the money, he gambled on horses, bought luxury cars, and even bought a house under construction.
Kenzo Hirota parked his car in a parking lot two streets away from his residence. He said that the car was not purchased through formal channels and it would be difficult for the police to verify it.
Although he knew there was a risk, Kitano Satoshi couldn't help but drive the car away. It happened that they also needed a car when they were transporting money to escape.
Miyano Akemi found the car, turned down the temporary license plate and held it.
She sat quietly in the empty car for a while, took a deep breath, and drove toward the port.
…
Miyano Akemi's actions did not escape the eyes of the organization members.
Since today was collection day, Gin announced that his shift was over, and several criminals gathered near the hotel again.
After not seeing Akai Shuichi for so many days, Gin no longer had much hope for this. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his focus was obviously on getting rid of Miyano Akemi and grabbing money.
After seeing Miyano Akemi sitting in the car alone with empty hands, Gin sneered and turned to look at Shiraishi: "She left the money in the hotel, go and find it."
"..." Shiraishi glanced at him, do you still remember to let me take full responsibility for getting rid of Miyano Akemi...
Shiraishi knew very well that no matter what, he was an undercover agent sent by the system. Compared with Gin's requirements, the system's tasks should be given priority, and the focus should be on Miyano Akemi.
So after Gin finished speaking, Shiraishi nodded.
Then he saw the new member pick out several bombs from his bag and put them into his pockets.
Gin's eyebrows twitched: "Why are you bringing these?"
Shiraishi looked down at his bulging pocket and explained calmly:
"If the money is not in the room she opened, it should have been deposited at the counter. If it is the former, bring a few bombs to unlock the door. If it is the latter, create chaos in the lobby and take the money away."
Vodka looked at the five-star hotel in front of him, then at the police station not far away, and assessed the difficulty of dealing with the aftermath.
Finally, after seeing the boss's cold eyes with a hint of worry, Vodka very considerately spoke for Gin: "Don't use those, make less noise."
He found a long needle and a very thin pry bar and handed them to Shiraishi.
Shiraishi glanced down at the two tools and asked Vodka seriously: "How to use it."
"..." The six people in the two cars fell silent at the same time.
After a few seconds, Chianti whistled and agreed without any ambition: "Me neither, we are different from them, we just need to master our own expertise."
"Shut up." Gin pressed his temple.
There were a few clicks in the car next to her. Toru Amuro found a baseball cap from the storage box and put it on his head resignedly: "I'll go."
In the past few days, he has successively created some escape opportunities for Miyano Akemi, but the other party has no intention of escaping at all.
Gin seemed to have discovered a clue. He was keeping an eye on him more closely than usual in the past few days. He couldn't do anything more in this matter.
Now, Miyano Akemi's death is almost certain. Without revealing her identity, the only thing Toru Amuro can do is to go far away without seeing anyone being killed.
Moreover, Matsuda Kuroye seems to be a very upright person. If he says he is not good at it, then he probably really is not good at it.
If he was really sent to get the money, he would probably be called to the police by the staff and taken to jail, which would be doubly uncomfortable.
After Gin nodded, Toru Amuro opened the car door, straightened his hat, and walked into the hotel.
Miyano Akemi's car had already arrived at the intersection and was waiting for the red light.
Through the side and rear windows, she could be seen alone in the car.
At Gin's signal, Vodka put away his computer and drove to follow.
