Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 260 254. Industrialization of Bank Robbery
See off guests, see them off quickly!

Lin Longma thought so, but he couldn't say it out loud. After all, Bourbon was the international agency that he had "tricked". No matter what, he had disrupted their "arrangement".

Not to mention that Bourbon just helped Lin Longma with reasoning.

Lin Longma is not willing to turn his back on others, or he is too thin-skinned!
"Tell me, tell me. Let me hear what kind of business can make Bourbon so indecisive?"

"Here, this is it."

Bourbon borrowed the computer from Lin Longma's office, and then typed on the keyboard to enter the official website of the international intermediary company.

After a complicated verification process, Bourbon logged into the entrustment interface. The troublesome business he mentioned was on the top line of the entrustment interface.

After doing all this, Lin Longma took over Bourbon's position in front of the computer and clicked on the commission to view the task details.

This is an anonymous assassination commission with a reward of 5 US dollars, which is nearly 750 million yen in Japanese yen.

750 million yen is not a lot, but it is enough for some people to take risks for the money in Tokyo.

It's just killing one person.
Take robbing a bank as an example.

There are many different types of bank robbers in Beika Town. Some like to work alone, while others like to work in groups.

But most bank robbers still work in groups. After all, robbing a bank is a technical job. Unless there is an insider, it is too risky for one person to do it alone and he is likely to fail in the act.

Generally speaking, the bank robbers in Beika Town consist of about 3-5 people.

Because bank robberies in Beika-cho and Haido-cho are industrialized, most of the bank robbery gangs do not know each other before forming a team.

Unless you are very lucky, it is rare to get three, five or even a billion dollars from a bank robbery.

In most cases, the amount of money the robbers were able to rob was between 8 million and 1.5 million yen.

If we take the middle number, it would be 1.2 million yen.

The 1.2 million yen cannot be considered the net income of the robber gang, because the money is stolen. If they want to use the money honestly, they need to go through a money laundering procedure.

Generally speaking, if a sum of stolen money or black money is for an old customer, it is considered good if half of it can be left after laundering.

But the people who form a team to rob a bank are most likely not old customers, and under normal circumstances they can only save about 30% to 40%.

Assuming the best 1.2% estimate, the 6 million yen would become million yen after laundering, which is clean money that can be deposited into a bank account.

Obviously, these 6 million yen cannot be divided directly.

Because before robbing a bank, various preparations are required. These preparations include but are not limited to scouting the location, purchasing transportation, and preparing equipment for the operation.
Among them, the purchase of transportation and operational equipment is the biggest expense in preparing for the operation.

In Tokyo, if you want to rob a bank, you can't do it without a few long guns. You don't need to use the gun, but you can't do without it.

And after getting a gun, you always need to familiarize yourself with the weapon, right?
Otherwise, when the time comes to shoot, you might end up hurting yourself before killing others because you are not proficient in weapon operation.

This would be a joke.

The savings from the initial expenditure is calculated at 500 million yen, so 6 million yen will be reduced to 5.5 million yen.

A gang of five people shared the 5 million yen.

A robbery gang must have organizers and planners. Some contribute more, some less. This gang is planned, organized, scouted, and obtained intelligence by one person. As the leader of the gang, it is reasonable for him to take the lion's share of the 1 million, right?
This boss is not a very greedy type. He only wants 25 million yen out of the 55 million yen.

The remaining four people will share the remaining 30 million yen equally, with each person getting about 7.5 million yen.

Without considering the police pursuit, ordinary bank robbers can only get this much.

Seven and a half million yen, or about 5 U.S. dollars, is about the same as the commission for this assassination.

Although the money is about the same, the risks involved are very different.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has always attached great importance to bank robbery cases. Although the bank in Beika Town is easy to rob, it does not mean that you can successfully keep the money.

It would be fine if no one was killed during a bank robbery, but if someone is killed, the search team will definitely continue the investigation.

Even seeking direct help from detectives is not ruled out.

Of course, some robbers have no way to launder money, or they are reluctant to pay the handling fee, so they just divide the stolen money among the robbers, and everyone gets a good share.

But doing so will only lead to the police coming to your door faster.

Unless these people don't touch the money for 20 years after they robbed it, and only use it after the statute of limitations has passed.

But if these people really have this kind of patience, then why would they rob banks?
Isn't it because the money comes quickly and easily that people are able to rob banks?

In short, the current situation of the Beika Town bank robbers is that it is easy to steal money, but the risks are too high after stealing the money.

Many people grab the money, but very few can spend it safely.

Compared to this assassination mission, the risks are vastly different.

Although the risk of killing is not small, the "killers" who can accept tasks on the website of international intermediary companies basically have no connection with the targets.

Even if the police intervened in the investigation, it would be difficult to suspect the real murderer. If some professional killers were involved, it would be even more difficult for the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate.

It is much easier to obtain this $5 than to rob a bank.

Put yourself in Lin Longma's shoes. If he were Lin Longma, he would definitely choose this assassination commission instead of trying his luck to rob a bank.

"There doesn't seem to be any problem with this commission?" Lin Longma looked over the commission that Bourbon found for him over and over again, but did not find anything wrong with it.

The client is anonymous, and it is truly anonymous - the organization is not the police, and this kind of website certainly cannot carry out sting operations.

Perhaps in the future websites will use a pseudo-anonymous model, but they must establish their credibility at the beginning.

How many people in the underworld are watching this. Anyone in the company who dares to ask to check the identity of the anonymous customer will be a traitor to the organization!
"Of course there is no problem with the commission. This is a normal assassination commission. The problem is the identity of the target."

"Huh? Is this person a well-known entrepreneur or a popular politician? Nara Zezhi, I've never heard of this person?"

Lin Longma stared at the name of the client for a long time but could not figure out anything. As for the information provided by the client.
There is no other information except name, age and a photo.

"This Narasawaji is a policeman. He's a detective from the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department."
