Thursday, December 24th, evening, Medea Restaurant.

The front page of the evening newspaper carried news about the bank robbery in the afternoon, as well as the bank robbery car explosion.

As soon as Mori came, he asked Miyako Miyamoto about it, but he didn't get any news. And Conan asked Yamazaki about it, but he also didn't get any news.

During the break, Conan said to Yamazaki, "I think Akemi Hirono is very suspicious. ”

"Why?" said Yamazaki.

"Intuition. Conan said.

"You don't doubt her because of what happened to her. Yamazaki said.

"Don't you suspect her?" asked Conan.

"Yes, but it's not your starting point. "The content is different. ”

"What is it?" Conan perked.

"It's the fact that she's coming to Fengcai Bank itself. Yamazaki said.

"You mean," Conan was taken aback, "she's doing commercial espionage?"

"Possibly. Yamazaki said, "So how much these two incidents have to do with her today will be found out slowly." ”

"I see. Conan said, "One of the problems I found with today's incident is that there were six of them with a knife when the gunshots rang out. ”

"Yes, I have doubts about this as well, but maybe it's because of the escorts, as soon as they leave, the escorts can be called immediately. Yamazaki said.

That's right. "But it's still very unusual." ”

"I know. Yamazaki said.

"Also, for today's incident, I think there are two possibilities, one is to be a robber, and the other is to kill yourself. Conan said.

"I don't need to explain it below, I also thought of these. Yamazaki said.

"Alright then, there's a message. Conan said.

"Try your best. Yamazaki said. ……

Night, Miyamoto's house, living room.

The evening news on TV aired the latest news about the events of the afternoon.

The scene has been largely cleared, and the current death toll is a total of 31 people, all seven of the gangster's cars are dead, and the rest are five drivers of five cars near the gangster's car, three pedestrians who were unlucky enough to be hit by car debris on the side of the road, three passengers in the tram, and thirteen office workers in the building that the tram crashed into. At present, 23 critically injured people are still being treated, and the other injured people are 129 in total.

"Luckily, it's not commute time. Yamazaki said, "There weren't many people on the train. ”

"Is this really for the Buncai Bank?" asked Mei Daiko.

"The bank robbership is definitely yes, the car bombing is not clear. "Now there are two possibilities, first, they came to be bank robbers and then they were killed. ”

"No, even if you want to kill it, you have to wait until it's safe to do so," Midaiko asked, "Isn't that how it happens on TV?"

"When you get to safety, it's for money, and this bank robbery incident may be just a robbery. Yamazaki said, "I haven't thought of the reason yet. ”

"How did that come to fruition?" asked Midako, "a remote-controlled bomb?"

"Yes, they were using a car arranged by someone else, and the mastermind had planted a bomb on the car beforehand and then detonated it at the right time. "The escape route may have been pre-planned so that the tram would pass at the right time to make the bombing look like a public terrorist attack." ”

However, they did not know the time of the cash truck. Mei Daiko said.

"You can know that if the organization has a certain scale, you can send people to keep an eye on every Hosai bank in Tokyo, and then send people to keep an eye on the cash trucks. "This makes it easy to find the route of the cash truck and roughly calculate the time when the cash truck arrives at the rice flower branch of Fengcai Bank, in a certain area, there is usually only one bank store, and the mobile phone is definitely faster than the car, so that the mastermind can direct the escape route of the gangsters through the mobile phone, and the time when the tram passes is basically fixed, even if the pass is not in time, there are others." ”

"There is a certain scale of organization, and that is a domestic organization?" asked Midaiko.

"If not by coincidence, at least I was involved. "And if this group wasn't in league with today's gangsters, they would have gone to explain the situation to the police soon." ”

"And what about the second possibility?" asked Midaiko.

"They're here to do suicide terrorist attacks, and being bank robbers is just incidental, and someone has entrusted them with it. "But it's very unlikely." ”

"Why?" asked Midaiko.

"Because all of the escorts are still alive. Yamazaki said, "Just imagine, if you are here to do a terrorist attack, how can you use your subordinates to show mercy." In addition, Ginza, Shinjuku, Shibuya, etc., Tokyo can count many places that are more prosperous than Rice Flower Town, and the targets of terrorist attacks are not lined up in Rice Flower Town. ”

"That's right. Mei Daiko said.

"What else did you find?" Miyakoto asked.

"The gunshot went off, it's abnormal. "If you can, a quiet evacuation can cover a little more distance, and even if the escorts and the people who found them call the police, it won't attract attention for a while." ”

"Mom, what do you think?" asked Midaiko.

"The first possibility that your brother said was that they came to be bank robbers and then were killed, which may be true. Miyamoto Miko said, "The reason is that the funds controlled by Toyosai Bank Japan have exceeded 100 trillion yen, and the interest rate he has set is relatively high, and he has absorbed a large amount of funds, and these funds naturally flow from other banks." ”

"If so, today's events are just sabotage for sabotage's sake. Yamazaki said, "The mastermind behind it is not the billion yen, but to create a negative impact on the bank, the gunfire and the explosion are the mastermind wants, in order to attract the media, and the gangsters who died only know the gunshot, not the explosion, when talking about the conditions, the only way to attract the attention of the media should be to shoot." One billion yen is the reward for those gangsters, but they don't have the life to spend it. The mastermind understands that the money that has been stolen and we can get it back will not have a big impact on the people who saved the money, after all, the bank robbery incident is not new. But a terrorist attack is different, it's not terrible to say, but if it happens, people will definitely have some scruples. And the consequence of today's incident is that Fengcai Bank has become the target of a certain organization, whether it is a person who has already deposited money in it, and a person who still wants to save money, this will be considered again. ”

"Yes, but this is a guess from the point of view of profit, but there is no shortage of crazy people in this world. Miyamoto Miyako said, "I won't be a clever scapegoat." ”

"Has anyone made a statement?" asked Yamazaki.

"Not yet, but who knows. Miyamoto Miko said, then looked at the time, "It's almost over, go back to your room and wash up and rest, you have to go to school tomorrow." ”……

The next day, Friday, December 25th, morning, good mood, Mimiko Miyamoto office.

Mimiko Miyamoto sat behind her desk, and Hirohime, Maya Tachibana, Kaka Asai, and Misa Horiuchi sat at their desks listening to Oda Nobue's report.

Nobue Oda reported on the results of the investigation into yesterday's incident so far, the death toll is now 37, 12 are in critical condition, and 134 are wounded, and the explosion site is in the gangster's car, which has been modified and has a mezzanine throughout the body, and all of it is full of high explosives.

Since one of the gangsters was using a wallet covered in silver, his documents were kept, and some stolen goods were found in his apartment, presumably a former member of the Storm Thieves.

The police had previously arrested two former accomplices of the Wind Thieves Group, and after looking at the account books, they guessed the names of the seven gangsters, pointing out that these seven people were all members of the former Wind Thieves Group, and I heard that the seven of them made a living as thugs, and collected money to help people do some shady things, because they themselves were shady, so the business was good. However, after the disbandment of the Wind Thieves, there was no contact between them, so the addresses and contact information of the seven gangsters were not known.

However, we all know the contact information and addresses of these six gangsters, and we have also provided them to the police, but no valuable clues have been found in the apartment where they live, only that one of the gangsters has a terminal illness and has not long lived.

Last night, the leader of a street organization turned himself in to the police, and his organization reported the route of the Toyosai Bank's cash truck to a person who deliberately changed his voice, and collected 1 million yen. The other party did not show up, he called him directly, and the money was delivered by courier in old banknotes in cash. The phone number of this boss is known to many people, and this clue is broken.

The police also found that the last call was made near the scene of the car bombing, but it was before the car explosion, so it was not certain if there was another person.

Some people believe that the sick man among the seven people is the mastermind, he knows that he will die, so he wants someone to be buried with him, so he made a suicide plan without telling his companions, and his original plan was to grab the money and go to the carnival and then die. The explosion site was not supposed to be on a regular tram either, where the explosion was just an accident.

"My sister has already invited the bank staff and their families to drink tea one by one, the only problem is Miss Akemi Hirono, she herself said, the cash truck escort this time is all the turn of the people who are not Shi Feng's security, and the parking location of the gangster's vehicle, these two things are passed on by her, but she doesn't know who she passed on, that number is useless. My sister thinks that the mastermind of yesterday afternoon's incident is definitely not Miss Akemi, but it is difficult to say how much it has to do with the organization behind Miss Akemi. Because there is a possibility that Miss Akemi wants to provoke Shi Feng to organize a war behind her, and deliberately set up this bureau, and it is even possible that someone from the investigation bureau instigated her behind her and used her to set it up. "So far, no organization or individual has issued a statement of responsibility. Now for those messages. ”

"Good work. Mimiko Miyamoto said, and then looked at the four of them.

"None of the victims or the injured in this incident were our employees, but three family members were scratched by glass on the side of the road, but they were fine," she said. ”

Tachibana said, "I've put up a 5 million yen bounty in the press, but it doesn't seem to be much hope right now. ”

"As far as I know, there is a lot of hope for those twelve critically ill patients. ”

Misa Horiuchi said, "I've already told the rescue team about the medical expenses being paid by Toyosai Bank Japan. ”

"Good, everyone's worked hard. Mimiko Miyamoto said, and continued, "It seems that the real mastermind of yesterday afternoon's incident is probably difficult to find out, so let's put it down first." Then he said to Misa Horiuchi, "Toyosai Bank Japan, this name is changed back to Hokkaido Takusan Bank, no, it's good to expand the bank." ”

Misa Horiuchi asked, "Why is that?"

"I've seen it in tabloids that it thinks it's the system of American banks in Japan, so it's the one that has been involved in the terrorist attacks. Tachibana said.

Misa Horiuchi said, "Well, it just so happens that the Hokkaido headquarters is almost finished, and it will be changed when it opens, so I heard that it is more auspicious." ”

"It's up to you. Miyamoto said, "Okay, let's dismiss." ”……
