Chapter 272: Old Tricks Again (22)

"If we think in this way, Mr. Tsukino might have known from the beginning that the display case would explode."

"In order to protect the Tsukino Group's valuable collection from the explosion, he used a combination of bulletproof glass and polycarbonate."

"Then the bomb in the display cabinet was most likely planted by Mr. Tsukino."

Conan agreed with Sera Masumi's guess and continued to reason based on her speculation.

"Then I don't quite understand, what is the significance of this second explosion and the possible third explosion?"

Sera Masamune said in confusion.

The explosion can neither damage the collection inside nor accurately injure someone.

So what was the point of Takashi Tsukino designing this explosion?
Is it purely to make oneself look like a terrorist?

"It's like some murderers will deliberately disguise the scene as a serial murder when committing a crime."

"Mr. Tsukino may have designed the explosion to be a series of explosions in order to conceal his original purpose—"

"For example, killing Kaito Kidd."

Conan guessed solemnly.

Just when Kaito Kidd had cracked the code of the display cabinet, the metal base of the display cabinet exploded.

Conan felt that if this was the case, it was very likely that Tsukino Takashi noticed that Kaito Kid was trying to crack the password of the exhibit cabinet and triggered the bomb remotely.

Or perhaps it was simply that after the Scarlet Shadow Heart was put back into the display cabinet, it was designed to explode automatically if the corresponding password was entered.

But what Takashi Tsukino didn't expect was.

Although the explosion of his bomb was very powerful, it failed to achieve the corresponding effect when facing the extremely agile Kaito Kidd.

Takashi Tsukino planned this series of explosions in order to cover up his intention to kill Kaito Kid.

If you want to understand Takashi Tsukino's motives, you must find him.

Sera Masumi looked at Nakamori Ginzo and asked:
"Officer Nakamori, can you contact Mr. Tsukino?"

Ginzo Nakamori took out his cell phone and tried to call Takayasu Tsukino, but after a moment he shook his head.

"Can't get through."

"Um"

Conan fell into deep thought, and at the same time felt that Tsukino Takashi was becoming more and more suspicious.

at the same time.

Masumi Sera also contacted Akikawa Sousuke.

She didn't have much time, so while Conan was thinking, she ran to the side, took out her cell phone and called him.

"Hey, Mr. Akikawa, I have something to ask you."

"Ah."

Soon, Akikawa Sosuke's voice sounded again.

The sound from Akikawa Sosuke's side was still very quiet. There was no noisy voice in the venue, nor was there any leisurely Showa song echoing in the venue.

"Another explosion occurred in the C-2 venue, and then we found that the glass of the display cabinet of the Moonlight Necklace here was very strong, and even a bomb could not destroy it."

"Mr. Akikawa, you had already guessed that the B-2 venue would explode. May I ask if you discovered anything?"

Sera Masumi asked.

Before the explosion of the collection room of Scarlet Heart, Akikawa Sosuke had anticipated that something would happen there, and also guessed that Kaito Kidd would steal the gems.

Therefore, Masumi Sera believed that Akikawa Sousuke must have deduced some information that he had not noticed.

"The gem in the Scarlet Heart Collection Room is fake."

"Huh?! How is this possible?"

After hearing this, Sera Masumi immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

"Mr. Tsukino had already appraised it at noon, and he didn't touch the treasure at all at noon."

Masumi Sera expressed all the doubts in his mind in one breath.

However, she realized something was wrong halfway through her sentence. "You should have noticed it too."

"Mr. Tsukino, who was supposed to touch the gem, did not touch it."

“And the collection room that didn’t need to explode did explode.”

"Everything seems too deliberate, as if they are trying to cover up something."

After hearing this, Masumi Sera understood everything completely.

She thought about it carefully. What Kaito Kidd said before he was sniped by the organization's sniper, "We've all been fooled," turned out to mean that all of them were fighting for a fake gem.

This is also why Kaito Kid left the gems at the scene after disappearing.

Because it's a fake gem, there's no need for Kaito Kid to take it away!
"Thank you, Mr. Akikawa."

After thanking Akikawa Sosuke, Sera Masumi hurried back to the collection room.

After learning that Takashi Tsukino had used fake gems to deceive everyone, she thought that Takashi Tsukino might be repeating the same old trick.

If you try to think about the purpose behind Takashi Tsukino's actions, you might end up falling into his trap.

"Akikawa is indeed very different."

Masumi Sera thought to herself, and told Conan what Akikawa Sousuke reminded her of.

After careful consideration, Conan also felt that Sera Masumi's judgment was very likely.

Just when Conan and Sera Masumi were exchanging views, Amuro Toru received another call.

After confirming that the call was from the organization member Bourbon, he took the initiative to distance himself from the people around him and answered the call in an empty corner.

The caller was Vodka, a member of the organization.

"Bourbon, did you get the gem?"

Vodka's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No."

"Didn't Cohen kill Kaito Kidd? Why didn't you get it?"

"The jewels were taken away by the police."

"Then tell me which policeman got the gem? Lead him to a position where he can be seen from the window, and let Cohen help you deal with him."

"Brother said that failure is not allowed this time, so you have to act quickly."

"I'll find a way. I won't bother with your help for now."

Bourbon said, and hung up the phone.

I also felt a little irritated in my heart.

He thought everything would be fine if he let Kaito Kidd steal the gems.

Unexpectedly, Kaito Kidd returned to the scene and was shot by Cohen.

Now the situation is back to the beginning.

The gems were once again protected by the authorities.

There is no way I could hand over the gem to the organization.

But if he still couldn't get the gem, Cohen would definitely attack the police.

At that time, if he continued to conceal his identity as the police officer who got the gem, Gin would definitely suspect him.

It's really a dilemma.

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not hand over the gemstone to the organization."

Amuro Toru thought in his heart.

If I have to choose between these two options, I must protect Ginzo Nakamori's life while protecting my identity as an undercover agent in the organization.

No matter how expensive that gem is, its value is certainly not more precious than human life.
