Gin doesn't want to work hard

"Go chase it!"

Inspector Megure immediately gave the order.

"Yes!"

Several police officers followed the trail and chased after the suspects.

Conan arrived in front of the tied-up man in sunglasses and noticed that the others also showed signs of being dragged.

Before he could think it through, the police officers who had chased after him returned.

Unfortunately, the person who came seemed to have made preparations in advance, and their traces disappeared without a trace outside the building.

Inspector Megure, his expression somber, continued giving instructions.

"Pull up all the surveillance footage from the surrounding area. We must find those gold coins!"

"Yes!"

Conan paced back and forth, his mind racing with thoughts.

The police station isn't far from here.

The round trip took them no more than ten minutes.

The fact that the prisoners were able to take all the gold coins away in such a short time suggests that they likely entered the prison shortly after the prisoners left.

Why then did the people who were tied up also have drag marks on their bodies?

The prisoner wanted to take those people with him!

Why did you give up later? And why did you drag the person back to their original position?

Perhaps it's not that we've given up, it's that it's too late.

There was likely only one prisoner, and in a short time, he only had time to take the gold coins with him.

The perpetrator is very likely in cahoots with the men in sunglasses!

So after taking the gold coins, he wanted to turn back and take the people with him.

But he may have heard police sirens along the way, and in order to prevent people from discovering his relationship with the man in sunglasses, he dragged the man back to the original spot.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to insufficient lighting or the rush of time, the prisoner did not notice the drag marks on the ground.

This attempt to cover up the truth only made Conan more certain that the culprit was in cahoots with the men in sunglasses.

Only in this way could he conveniently come in and take the gold coins away while they were on their way to call the police.

Because the criminals were following them from the very beginning!

Conan shared his idea with Inspector Megure, who immediately decided to investigate in that direction.

"Inspector Megure, what about our gold coins..."

Ayumi clutched the gold coins in her hand and asked somewhat nervously.

"Well..." Inspector Megure scratched his head and chuckled twice, "I won't go back on my word since I've already promised you!"

"After all, those wanted criminals were caught, and we have to thank you all for that!"

"With these wanted criminals around, finding their accomplices will only be a matter of time!"

Inspector Megure was very confident.

"However, you must keep this a secret!"

"Yay! We definitely won't tell anyone!" Ayumi and the other two cheered happily.

Conan was unconsciously playing with the gold coins, his brows still furrowed.

He had another question.

If the perpetrator was an accomplice of the man in sunglasses and his group, why would he stay hidden in the shadows?

Conan discussed this issue with Kurosawa.

Kurosawa's words were pointed.

Who says that partners have to help each other?

"Driven by self-interest, it's not impossible for them to turn against each other."

"Fifteen thousand gold coins is no small amount."

"So you also think the culprit is their accomplice?" Conan asked.

Kurosawa thought for a moment and decided to mislead people again.

"However, I think it's not that he didn't have time to take the person away, but that he didn't want to take the person away."

"He probably wanted to keep all the gold coins for himself, so he sent the person back."

"However, this means that the people must know each other, so we can try to find clues from them."

Conan nodded in agreement.

“Okay!” Inspector Megure, who had somehow appeared beside the two and been listening to their conversation, immediately spoke up.

"Brother Kurosawa's analysis makes a lot of sense!" Inspector Megure patted Kurosawa on the shoulder, quite satisfied.

Kurosawa smiled.

That's right, let's focus on the Italian mafia.

He accepted the gold coins.

Chapter 29 The Strange Boss

"Buzz...buzz..."

In the room with the thick curtains drawn, the cell phone on the bedside table kept vibrating.

The person lying in bed was woken up, turned over irritably, pulled the blanket over their head, and chose to ignore it.

The phone vibrated for a while before automatically hanging up, and the room fell silent again.

However, the caller seemed quite persistent, and the phone vibrated again after it had just stopped.

Hearing the life-threatening vibrations in his ears, Kurosawa finally couldn't help but open his eyes.

He clicked his tongue impatiently, got up, and picked up his phone from the side.

Last night, through his misleading tactics, he successfully shifted the blame for stealing the gold coins onto a non-existent Italian criminal accomplice.

Afterwards, Inspector Megure sent the elementary school students back to their homes in police cars.

He politely declined Inspector Megure's offer, then first sent the Big Mac back, and later took the time to meet with Vodka to arrange the disposal of the gold coins.

Of course, these gold coins are currently in high demand and should absolutely not be taken out.

Therefore, Kurosawa simply hid them in a safe house that only he knew about.

I plan to wait until things calm down, then melt them down, recast them, and exchange them for cash.

After doing all this, by the time Kurosawa returned home, it was already dawn.

I was woken up by another phone call, and I'm really not in a good mood.

Although the curtains were drawn, Kurosawa was certain, based on his keen sense of time, that no more than four hours had passed since he fell asleep!

Although he was already used to staying up late, there were times when he slept even less while doing tasks.

But it's his vacation now!

Shouldn't we be able to sleep in until we naturally wake up during our holidays?

He wanted to see which blind bastard was calling him so early in the morning!

Kurosawa glanced at his phone screen, where the word "boss" was flashing arrogantly.

Kurosawa: "..."

Damn scumbag boss!

One day he'll oust the boss and take the position for himself!

Kurosawa cursed under his breath, but despite his displeasure, he still pressed the answer button.

There's nothing he can do; he's still just a pitiful wage earner.

"Hello? Boss." Because he had just woken up, Kurosawa's voice was a little hoarse.

But the boss on the other side clearly misunderstood something.

Gin's voice sounded like he wasn't feeling well.

The boss remembered why he had called him and his heart skipped a beat.

In fact, ever since the boss made a special phone call to stop Gin's mission, he has been secretly observing him.

After all, in the boss's view, Gin's illness is still very serious, and it would be bad if he had a moment of weakness and did something irrational.

But the situation doesn't seem to be quite the same as what the boss expected.

After receiving the news, Gin not only refrained from taking any excessive actions, but also proactively handed over all the tasks he had on hand.

Gin even spared the people Rum sent to provoke him, only breaking their limbs and throwing them out.

The Boss always knew that Gin was very smart.

He believed that Gin would understand his meaning regarding this reprimand.

But to my surprise, Gin was able to act so decisively and resolutely.

It seems I underestimated Gin's loyalty!

The boss was somewhat sentimental.

The boss was quite satisfied with Gin's performance.

For such outstanding employees, the boss doesn't mind putting in a little more effort.

The Boss immediately found a reputable psychologist, described Gin's condition to him, and sought his opinion.

But the psychologist's words chilled the boss to the bone.
