Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Chu Ming stared at Conan with displeasure. Was he wrong? Buying insurance in Mika is like risking your life to give money to others!

After discussing yesterday's case, Takagi took out several case files from previous cases.

"I'm the only one here to take your statements today, Inspector Megure and the others are a bit busy."

"Hmm? You've already solved yesterday's case, why are you still busy?" Kogoro Mouri asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Inspector Megure has been busy with that bank robbery case lately, and he only managed to find time to go yesterday because of the horrific bombing."

"You mean the case three days ago where Beihu Town Bank forcibly robbed 200 million yen?" Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized. "I also saw the news about that case."

"That day, Inspector Megure's wife, Abi, happened to be at Beika Bank when she was taken hostage by the robbers and was even injured. That's why Inspector Megure was working extra hard this time!"

Takagi took out a folder: "Alright, let's get started. I have a date at five o'clock~"

"Oh my god, Officer Takagi has a date tonight? But your buttons are about to fall off!" Conan tilted his head and acted cute.

"Yeah, the collar is a bit dirty and the shirt is a bit wrinkled. Are you going on a date like this?" Chu Ming asked, posing a pointed question.

"Ah—this—" Takagi said somewhat embarrassedly.

Professor Agasa, standing nearby, delivered the fatal blow: "You don't actually have a girlfriend, do you? Want me to introduce you to one?"

Takagi quickly waved her hand in refusal: "No, no, I wanted to ask someone I like out tonight, she—"

"Officer Takagi," Miwako Sato suddenly appeared in the doorway, "Haven't you started taking your statement yet?"

Takagi's face flushed red instantly: "I-I'll be done in a minute."

"Oh my, Officer Takagi, you're blushing!" Conan said innocently. "So Officer Sato is—"

Takagi rushed over and covered Conan's mouth: "Okay, Conan, that's enough."

Sato Miwako looked puzzled: "What am I?"

"No, no, it's nothing. Officer Sato, weren't you in charge of the 2 million yen bank robbery case with Inspector Megure? Why are you back all of a sudden?"

Sato didn't delve into it further: "That's why I came back. The bank manager who was robbed called yesterday and said he suddenly remembered something and asked me to meet him at the Metropolitan Police Department today. He said he and his wife would be coming together."

……

Chu Ming watched the group talk. Two hundred million yuan. It wasn't much, but every little bit helps. He wondered if he could get his hands on it.

"Officer Sato, I've brought the bank manager, Keizo Masuo, with me."

Chu Ming looked in the direction of the sound and saw a short, stout man standing at the door. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at his watch.

"Finally caught up."

"Mr. Masuo, didn't your wife come with you?"

"She suddenly had to go to the bank, so we agreed to meet here. Hasn't she arrived yet?"

"That's strange, is she still sleeping? Can I borrow your phone?" He checked his watch again.

Chu Ming turned his head and nudged Conan beside him: "Strange, he kept checking the time, and his words didn't make sense. He said his wife was going to the bank, then he said she hadn't gotten up... It seems like he was just trying to make this phone call."

Conan stared at Keizo Masuo: "Indeed, he's checked his watch three times now..."

After making the call, Masuo Keizo said a few words and then handed the receiver to Takagi.

Chu Ming nudged Conan, signaling him to press the speakerphone button.

"it's me again?"

"Hurry up, or you'll have already made all the calls. Besides, isn't this your forte?" Chu Ming urged.

Conan had no choice but to swagger over and say, "Huh? This button looks weird—"

Click to press the speaker button.

Kayo Masuo's voice came through the loudspeaker.

"—I've never heard of this before. Ah—!!!!"

When Keizo Masuo saw that Conan had pressed the speakerphone button for him, he was secretly delighted and kept shouting into the phone, "Kayo, what's wrong with you! Answer me!"

"Officer Takagi, send the search and rescue team to stand by. I'm going to get the car!"

"it is good!"

Chu Ming dragged Conan along and they both slipped into Officer Sato's car.

Officer Sato drove very fast, asking Keizo Masuo as he went, "Have you encountered anything strange these past few days?"

Keizo Masuo pondered for a moment: "Speaking of strange things... ah, my wife said she saw someone acting suspiciously in the neighborhood!"

"That's it. I guess your wife saw what the robbers looked like, so the thugs came to silence her."

"But Mr. Masuo is also suspicious. Your wife clearly didn't agree to come with you at 2 o'clock, right? Why did you lie and call your wife from the Metropolitan Police Department at exactly 2 o'clock? Could it be—you're creating an alibi?"

Chu Ming leaned out from the back seat and stared at Masuo Keizo through the gap in the middle.

Chapter 146 Bourbon would give you a thumbs up if he just happened to be passing by (Bonus Chapter 4)

"!!!" Masuo Keizo was so frightened that he shrank back and his head slammed into the passenger-side window with a 'bang'.

Takagi was so startled by the two heads that suddenly appeared beside him that he almost had a heart attack: "When did you two get up here?"

Chu Ming held Conan in his arms, and the two of them simultaneously revealed shameless, cute smiles.

"What should we do, Officer Sato? Should we let them go?"

"It's too late, you guys better sit down."

?

Before Conan could react, Chu Ming realized that Sato Miwako was a skilled racer known as the "Witch of the Mist"...

Seeing Sato Miwako shift gears, he quickly shoved Conan into Takagi's arms and gripped the handlebars on the car tightly with both hands.

"Brother Chu Ming...?" Conan's eyes revealed a hint of doubt. Before he could finish speaking, Sato had already slammed on the gas pedal.

The red Mazda tires screeched against the ground at high speed, and the car actually flew off the bridge.

Conan bounced around in the back seat like a ball, finally managing to steady himself by clinging to Takagi's leg.

squeak--

The car suddenly swerved and came to a stop. Chu Ming got out of the back seat with lingering fear. Goodness, even Boburn would give you a thumbs up.

Keizo Masuo rushed in first, pointed upstairs and said to Sato and Takagi, "Officer, you go upstairs and look for it. I'll check the living room."

Chu Ming quietly turned on his phone to record video and secretly followed Masao Keizai into the living room.

Chu Ming deliberately concealed his footsteps and breathing, and since the Masuo family's villa had many turns, Masuo Keizo didn't notice that he was being followed by someone.

Chu Ming watched as he straightened the bookshelf, tidied up the scattered books, and finally collapsed to the ground, yelling loudly.

Putting away his phone, Chu Ming casually walked into another room, avoiding Conan and Sato who had arrived.

After everyone had gone to the living room, Chu Ming quietly went to his room on the second floor.

He remembered the case where the victim recognized the bank robber as her husband's friend and circled him in her photo album, trying to tell the police.

What she didn't expect was that her husband was the mastermind behind the robbery, and in order to avoid being implicated, he ultimately chose to poison his own wife.

But his initial intention in robbing the bank was to give the money to his wife...

This is absolutely insane!! Why did you kill her after you took the flowers from her?!

Chu Ming found the photo album, took a picture of the people circled in the album with his phone, and sent it to Vodka.

"Once you find his address, send someone over immediately to receive the 2 million yen in cash from Beihu Bank. There are two armed robbers inside. Send me a message after you've succeeded. — Granbury"

It must be said that Vodka acted very quickly. While Chu Ming lingered upstairs for a while, he had already sent people to bring the people and money back to the organization, and even burned down the house.

Sigh, I have to say, vodka may be a bit silly, but it's really effective!

When will bourbon become like vodka?

How about we send Bourbon to Vodka's place for a few days to learn?

Upon entering the living room, one finds a policeman in a blue suit—Shiratori.

Chu Ming handed the photo album he found to Gao Mu.

"I found this in the deceased's room; it might be a clue."

Keizo Masuo rushed over at a speed completely disproportionate to his size and protected the photo album.

"This was drawn by my wife as a joke. How dare you pry into other people's privacy?"

Chu Ming looked completely innocent: "Photos are considered privacy?"

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with the case!"

Chu Ming smiled sarcastically: "Fine, if you say it's okay, then it's okay."

After saying that, he began to carefully observe everything in the room. Masuo Keizo, holding the photo album, felt as if he had a sharp edge to his back and was restless.
