In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 284 Stolen (22)

Masumi Sera quietly watched the questions and answers between Takayasu Tsukino and the police officer who was questioning him.

She had already learned from Ginzo Nakamori that the gems that Takashi Tsukino had originally placed in the display cabinet were genuine.

So Tsukino Takashi deleted the footage from that afternoon,

Besides not wanting others to notice that he had been hiding in his personal lounge,

Perhaps it was for the purpose of handing it over to the detective from the First Investigation Division who had obtained the real Scarlet Shadow Heart.

After Tsukino Takashi denied that the gemstone that was fought over by a group of people in the afternoon was a fake,

He began to deny the relationship between the explosion and himself.

"I know there was an explosion in the venue, but I don't know what happened!"

however.

How could Masumi Sera and the police believe him so easily?

So Megure Juzo sent the police to check the personal lounge where Takashi Tsukino was.

At this time, a policeman came back with a security guard.

He reported to Megure Jusan:
"This is the security guard at the scene. He said he saw Kaito Kidd fly out from the ceiling."

"Hasn't it been a while?"

Megure Jusan was puzzled.

He also knew that after Kaito Kidd's identity was exposed for the first time, he cut the glass with a diamond knife and left Venue B from above.

"No, he said he saw it not long ago, about ten minutes ago."

After hearing this, Masumi Sera and the police officers at the scene hurriedly looked towards the ceiling of the venue.

really.

In addition to the piece of glass that Kaito Kidd cut with his diamond knife, there was also a hole in the ceiling.

Masumi Sera already knew that Kaito Kid had entered the monitoring room in person, so it was not surprising that he found an opportunity to escape.

What really caught Sera Masumi's attention was the next sentence the security guard said:

"And I saw that when Kaito Kidd broke through the glass and left, he was holding a gem in his hand."

"That gem is very similar to Scarlet Shadow Heart."

"Huh? Kaito Kid got the gem?!"

Masumi Sera's first reaction was that it was impossible.

Because the fake gem had been handed over to Conan by himself, and Conan handed the gem over to Toru Amuro.

All of this was done in Venue C.

How could Kaito Kidd get the gems and then break through the glass from the ceiling of Hall B and leave?
However, these doubts did not stay in Sera Masumi's mind for too long.

She quickly guessed a possibility.

That is, perhaps Kaito Kidd stole the real Scarlet Heart from Tsukino Takashi.

Masumi Sera quickly paid attention to Takayasu Tsukino's reaction.

Then, Tsukino Takashi's pupils constricted, beads of sweat began to appear on his face, and his expression was filled with disbelief.

"Mr. Tsukino, are you sure that the gem we fought over this afternoon is the real thing?"

"Someone has seen Kaito Kidd take the Scarlet Shadow Heart and leave."

This time, after Sera Masumi finished speaking, he did not receive any immediate rebuttal from Tsukino Takashi.

I saw that Takashi Tsukino's face was getting more and more sweaty.

His expression was filled with more and more anxiety. Knowing the truth, Masumi Sera could naturally see Takayasu Takashi's emotions.

She came to Tsukino Takashi and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Mr. Tsukino, have you not yet realized that the real thing has been stolen by Kaito Kidd?"

"We already knew that the gems placed in the display cabinet this afternoon were fakes."

"And you should have handed over the gemstone to the detective from the Investigation Section 1 who put it in the display case at noon in the afternoon."

Almost every word of Sera Masumi points directly to Tsukino Takashi's heart.

The shock in his eyes when he looked at Sera Masumi was beyond words.

Tsukino Takashi doesn't know how these secrets were known by Sera Masumi?

But after what Sera Masumi said, he indeed began to lose confidence.

Because he had previously thought that if Kaito Kid wanted to get the real gem, he would definitely not do anything to him.

But since I have no memory of what happened after I fainted.

Therefore, Takashi Tsukino was not sure whether Kaito Kid had stolen the Scarlet Heart from his personal lounge.

Just after he woke up, his only thought was to quickly deny the broadcast that had previously exposed "Kaito Kidd".

However, he had no time to check again whether his Scarlet Shadow Heart had been stolen.

Masumi Sera quietly looked at Tsukino Takashi who was in a dilemma.

I saw him struggling with whether he should continue to maintain his belief that the fake items were real, while at the same time he was anxious about whether his gems had been stolen.

After a few minutes.

As if he had made a huge decision, Tsukino Takashi spoke weakly:
"In my personal lounge, there is a painting hanging on the wall."

"There is a safe behind the painting, which can only be opened with a password."

"And the combination to the safe is"

Tsukino Takashi finally chose to reveal where he hid the true Scarlet Heart.

By doing this, he was implicitly acknowledging what "Kaito Kid" said in his recent broadcast.

Masumi Sera, several police officers, and Takashi Tsukino came to his personal lounge.

Then, the police took a painting from Takashi Tsukino's personal lounge according to his statement.

Then everyone saw a safe appear in front of them.

The police entered the passwords one by one according to what Takashi Tsukino said. After they finished, they heard a "click" and the safe was opened.

Tsukino Takashi immediately turned his gaze over.

Then, his sweat-covered cheeks turned pale in an instant.

The small box containing the Scarlet Shadow Heart was missing.

It was as if all the strength of Tsukino Takashi was drained away in an instant, his legs went limp and he fell down.

Fortunately, the criminal policeman next to him was quick-witted and held him back, preventing him from falling to the ground.

However, at this moment, Tsukino Takashi had become like a puddle of mud, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't even stand there.

Just when many people were confused by Takashi Tsukino's scene.

Masumi Sera explained to the confused Megure Jusan and the other police officers present:
"Mr. Tsukino colluded with the detective from the Investigation Division at noon and asked him to put the fake gems back into the safe."

"And the real Scarlet Shadow Heart is stored in this safe."

"However, the safe is now empty, and the Scarlet Shadow Heart has been stolen by Kaito Kidd."
