Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 176: Sad! The angel is about to fall into the abyss

Ah…

This kind of thing doesn't seem to need any analysis at all, as Gin's previous words gave a very clear direction.

Rob a bank.

This can actually be regarded as a general term for crime and has no special meaning. After all, when ordinary people talk about making money quickly, they will joke with each other and say that they might as well rob a bank.

But the problem is, the word Gin added before this action was, planning.

It's not about preparing to rob a bank, but planning to rob a bank. Although they sound similar, the latter seems to have more certainty.

Think about Miyano Akemi's professional temperament...

Hmm, I can't think of it at all.

It was really inconvenient that he couldn't use higher-level permissions to check other people's social codes in this world. He was already used to being lazy. As for subtle observations, unless he was really someone who was intoxicated by the workplace, it wouldn't be that easy to see.

What if the other party likes to change jobs?
What if the outward features of the opponent are a disguise?
However, it is still uncertain how much truth there is in Gin's words, and it is possible that he was the one who directly ordered the bank robbery.

Besides, Miyano Akemi is quite neat and generous in dealing with people. The major she studied in college is not related to the financial industry. Even if she enters the banking system, she can probably only work as a salesgirl in the early stage. Her style is consistent with it.

If so, it would be easy to confirm.

No matter how stupid Miyano Akemi was, after Shirley's persuasion, she definitely knew that there was a risk of death if she did so. So with a desperate mentality, she probably wouldn't choose a bank far away from home, as that would make commuting inconvenient.

There are roughly three banks within the scope identified previously. Let’s start with the nearest one.

Mihua Branch of Mitsubishi Bank.

But the person who goes to confirm certainly cannot be himself. He just asked Gin about Miyano Akemi, and now he is going to go to her again. Isn't that going against the wind?

Yingsheng walked into the restaurant and looked at the two people who were talking next to the green plants in the front hall:

"Xiaolan, I have something to ask of you."

Suzuki Sonoko raised her head stiffly, her eyes full of shock. Yingsheng glanced at her strangely:
"What's wrong? Is there anything inappropriate in what I said?"

"Nothing." Xiaolan let go of Sonoko's arm, "Sonoko, go in and order first, I'll be in soon." She walked towards Yingsheng again, "What's the matter?"

When Sonoko looked at Hotaru, there was immediately a hint of annoyance and hostility in her eyes. Hotaru rolled his eyes at her, waved his hand, and went to play somewhere else.

"hateful!"

Yuanzi left angrily.

Yingsheng looked at Xiaolan, who was a little embarrassed, and said, "I want you to help confirm the position of Miss Mingmei. Do you have any games this afternoon?"

"No, our school is Group A, and that's all for this morning's competition." Xiaolan asked with some concern, "What happened to Miss Mingmei? Is she missing?"

"She may have run into some trouble. Let's talk about it when we meet in the afternoon. Let's eat first."

"Is it urgent?"

"She wants to eat too."

"..."

At 1:40 in the afternoon, Yingsheng and Xiaolan took a taxi to the Mihua branch of Siling Bank.

Xiaolan went into the bank to confirm, while Yingsheng waited in the taxi, ready to go to the next bank after Xiaolan came out. As a result, Xiaolan came out after a while and told him that Miyano Akemi was in this bank, and they hit the target in one shot.

"You're really lucky. Have you come into contact with her?" Yingsheng asked.

Xiaolan shook her head: "She was familiar with the business under the guidance of another lady and didn't notice me. I asked the hall manager some questions and then left."

"You're not asking her, are you?" "How could that be? I just asked about the deposit interest rate. My father has a passbook at this bank." Xiaolan got in the car and asked curiously, "What should I do next?"

"I'll take you to Beido High School. There, Kyogoku-senpai will give you karate lessons in the afternoon."

"Eh? What about here?"

"Come back later. She just joined the company anyway, so it's too early to do anything. I promise I didn't want to leave you alone, because if I did, I wouldn't have asked you for help before, and if something really happened later, you wouldn't be able to run away even if you wanted to."

"So what's going to happen? Doesn't Suigetsu-kun hate being told riddles?"

Yingsheng smiled: "But now I am the one who is telling the story, and it feels pretty good."

"…Then don't sneak away this afternoon."

"I'm very sorry. Actually, I only know a little about this matter. I will tell you when I find out everything."

"What?" Xiaolan pouted in dissatisfaction: "You said the same thing as a certain annoying guy. As a result, my father tested positive for some drug last night, and I still don't know."

"Eh? Isn't it negative now? It's just a misunderstanding. There's no need to hide it anymore."

"Because it was just a misunderstanding, everyone just ignored it, and I didn't want to ask."

Xiaolan snorted, "And don't change the subject. If there's anything, let me investigate it with you. I..." At this point, her tone became a little depressed again, "I will be a drag. Shuiyue-kun actually thinks the same way. He has been taking care of me all the time, which makes him even more worried about me..."

"stop!"

Yingsheng had no choice but to interrupt and whispered in Xiaolan's ear: "It may involve a crime. I am mainly worried that you will call the police to arrest me."

"Absolutely not!"

Xiaolan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she whispered in his ear, "Aren't the first two actions also crimes? I am Shuiyue-kun's accomplice."

“………Xiaolan, I plan to sell you.”

"Eh? Why?"

Xiaolan tilted her head in confusion, then suddenly realized: "Is this part of the plan? The kind of internal and external collaboration?"

“Oh my god—!”

Yingsheng looked desperate: "Xiaolan, do you really not have any vigilance towards outsiders?"

"No, it's just..."

Xiaolan hesitated for two seconds, then stammered, "Suiyue-kun isn't completely an outsider, is he?"

Yingsheng's heart trembled, and he looked into her eyes intently, but Xiaolan only persisted for a second before turning her head away, and said in an inexplicably nervous tone:

"I know Shuiyue-kun said that everyone except me is a stranger, but... I just feel that Shuiyue-kun will not hurt me, even if he is lying. And this is not just a guess, isn't it the case in the past two weeks?"

Xiaolan held the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands and lowered her head, so Yingsheng could not see her face.

But that tender, bright red earlobe clearly caught his eyes.

The air in the car suddenly fell silent. Yingsheng felt that if his consciousness named Tianshu was really infected with some kind of virus, then that thing must be accelerating its attack on the city now!
"call--"

Yingsheng exhaled lightly, his dark eyes returned to a deep and calm state, and he smiled softly:
"Thank you very much for trusting me, Xiaolan. Please do me one more favor."

Xiaolan's heartstrings immediately relaxed and she smiled sweetly:

"it is good."

I am guilty and I confess...orz
I don't know if it's because of a cold or the greasy lunch at noon, but I felt uncomfortable all afternoon, and my head felt like a ball was stuffed. I'll catch up at night, and finish the first three chapters at 24:00, + a chapter of confession, + if I can't finish it, I'll finish it tomorrow +.
