Gin doesn't want to work hard

He could only silently apologize to Amuro Tooru in his heart.

I just hope Amuro Tooru didn't leave any clues.

Or rather, he had already hidden the gold bricks during this period.

Since the police have already been called.

Kurosawa chose to believe in Amuro Tooru's abilities.

what?

What if Amuro Tooru messes up?

Kurosawa might feel sorry for him.

But Gin would definitely pull out a Beretta and press it against his forehead.

Chapter 48 Amuro Tooru takes on a part-time job again

"I understand!"

Conan's voice pulled Kurosawa out of his daze.

Kurosawa turned his head and saw Conan with his familiar, confident smile on his face.

Kurosawa immediately stood up, signaling Conan to begin his performance—no, his deduction.

"I know why that prisoner didn't just do it here!"

Conan gestured with his hand to indicate the width of the alley.

"Look, this alley is very narrow."

"Only two people can barely get through."

"If the perpetrator chooses to commit the crime here."

"The fallen body would take up a lot of space, making it impossible to drag the bag through!"

"And that's it."

"The blood from the corpse will stain the bag, making it impossible to hide the criminal's tracks!"

"Therefore, the criminal must lead the person out of the alley before killing them!"

Conan pieced together the existing clues and made a reasonable deduction.

"The contents of the bag must be very important to the prisoner!"

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up the opportunity to kill!"

Conan spoke, then fell into thought again.

What could be inside the bag?

It was large, heavy, and very important to the prisoners...

First of all.

The prisoner chose to walk alone at night, dragging the bag.

This means that the contents of the bag must not be discovered by others.

But Kurosawa said he didn't smell any blood.

That would eliminate the option of a corpse.

Thus.

Apart from things that have special significance to the prisoner himself.

All that's left are high-value items like jewelry or precious metals.

and many more!

Precious metals?

Those gold coins that have yet to be found!

Conan thought of those gold coins.

If it's gold, then the volume and weight match up!

Conan immediately asked Inspector Megure about the current progress of the case.

Inspector Megure sighed deeply upon hearing this.

"We still have no clue about those gold coins."

"However, those people who were arrested by the police were all silenced!"

Conan took a deep breath upon hearing this.

"what?!"

"It's no secret, it'll probably be on the news in a couple of days..." Inspector Megure said, looking a little worried.

This incident can also be considered a dereliction of duty by their police.

If this gets reported, he'll likely face accountability from higher-ups.

Conan said with a serious expression.

"If I'm not mistaken, the bag in the prisoner who attacked Kurosawa contained those gold coins!"

"What?!" This time it was Inspector Megure's turn to be shocked.

"This way, the size and weight of the bag can also match."

"This also explains why the prisoner valued the contents of the bag so much!"

"However, these are just inferences, and whether they are correct will have to be verified after the criminal is caught."

"We'll have to ask Inspector Megure for help!"

"Leave it to us with confidence!"

"As soon as the criminal is captured on surveillance cameras in the vicinity, we will immediately issue an arrest warrant and strive to bring him to justice as soon as possible!"

Inspector Megure immediately became serious and patted his chest to assure him.

Conan continued.

"Since the prisoner would kill all his companions."

"Then he'll very likely target Kurosawa again!"

"Inspector Megure, you can start from this point!"

"I understand, I will arrange for plainclothes officers to patrol the area!" Inspector Megure nodded.

Then, Conan looked at Kurosawa.

"Kurosawa-kun, you're in danger right now. You'd better move somewhere else!"

After Conan finished speaking, he waited for Kurosawa's reply.

But after waiting for a while, Kurosawa didn't say anything.

Conan looked up in confusion and saw that Kurosawa's gaze was somewhat unfocused, and he seemed dazed.

"Kurosawa-nii? Kurosawa-nii?"

Conan called out a few more times.

I had some suspicions.

Kurosawa always thought the criminal wasn't a bad person.

Now that they know the truth, it's normal to be confused for a while.

Conan sighed.

I'm sorry.

But he had to let Kurosawa know the truth.

Otherwise, given Kurosawa's unconventional way of thinking...

They are so easily fooled!

However, these things can't be rushed.

Conan knew that Kurosawa's way of thinking must have been formed over time.

Perhaps it's due to prolonged repression...

This gave Kurosawa a strange perspective on human behavior.

Conan remembered the medical record he had seen before.

Perhaps, Kurosawa has been in that state for a long time.

Conan looked at Kurosawa with a heavy gaze.

Kurosawa, who was just thinking about what game to play tonight: ?

Why is Conan looking at him so strangely?

"What did you just say?" Kurosawa asked.

Conan looked away and repeated what he had just said.

Kurosawa naturally agreed.

"Then I'll stay at the professor's house for a while."

Conan also thought it was a good idea, but...

"Kurosawa-kun, what about your job?"

Although he hadn't specifically inquired about it, Conan had heard Dr. Agasa mention it before.

According to him, Kurosawa's work usually seems to be very busy.

Kurosawa waved his hand dismissively upon hearing this.
