Conan glanced at him sideways, thinking that the kid was rambling on and on without saying anything.

Sonoko and Ran, on the other hand, thought it was amazing and kept exclaiming in surprise.

However, Conan didn't find anything particularly amazing about it.

If we ignore the gimmicks like "ancient martial arts" and "pressure point striking," there are many ways to achieve this.

For example, some traditional Chinese medicine doctors use silver needles to stop bleeding, or certain special medical sprays, hemostatic dressings, etc.

Soon, the group returned to the Mori Detective Agency.

Sonoko had other things to do today, so she said goodbye to Ran and prepared to go home.

However, before leaving, Sonoko came up to Naoto Hayashi, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Naoto-nii, my family has a villa in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture. My sister is planning to hold a friend's gathering there in a few days and invited Ran and me. Naoto-nii, would you like to come along?"

"A villa in the mountains?" Lin Zhiren was slightly taken aback. This sounded like a crime scene. How could he possibly refuse?

He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I don't have anything else to do anyway."

Sonoko cheered and secretly clenched her fist: "Yes!"

She had asked Naoto Hayashi out several times before, but he always seemed reluctant. Was it because there were too many people around?

But she would feel very embarrassed to ask Naoto Hayashi out alone.

So this time, she chose her own mountain villa. She planned to have Xiaolan and the other guests rest at the villa, while she would invite Zhiren to go for a walk in the woods…

Hehehe, such a romantic scene, maybe I can win over the straight guy...

Sonoko, with her back to Hayashi Naoto, let out a secret laugh that made her blush and her heart race.

The people standing nearby: "?"

The group then parted ways.

Ran and Conan returned to the agency, while Naoto Hayashi drove to a professional fitness equipment store to buy himself some equipment.

His physical condition has now reached level seven of health. Next, when he uses soul enhancement, he will need to choose the direction of enhancement.

Naoto Hayashi had some ideas about this and was ready to give it a try.

After selecting some equipment at the equipment store, including treadmills, arm exercisers, etc., and leaving his home address, Naoto Hayashi left.

Next, we went to the bank.

He has four checks on hand that he needs to cash at the bank.

When he arrived at the bank, he found it in a mess. Several police cars were parked outside the bank, and there was a cordon in the direction of the parking lot, with police officers busy inside.

"What happened?" Lin Zhiren stopped the car and went over to take a look, only to find that there were familiar faces inside!

Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan were standing inside, talking to Inspector Megure.

No, we just separated not long ago, how come you've already run into a case?

And you're not even taking me?

"Mr. Mori!" Naoto Hayashi immediately waved.

"Huh? It's Lin-san." Kogoro Mouri was a little surprised and invited him in.

Inspector Megure didn't stop him. He was quite familiar with this assistant and knew that he wouldn't mess with the scene and could even help solve the case.

"What happened?" Naoto Hayashi looked around and asked in confusion.

Kogoro Mori lowered his voice and said, "It's a bank robbery!"

It turns out that the Mori family came to the bank to confirm whether a client's commission had been received, but Conan stumbled upon a carjacking in progress!

Two masked robbers stopped a car in a parking lot, knocked the driver unconscious, and stole a total of one billion yen from the car!

They then fled in their car, while Conan pursued them on his solar-powered skateboard, but unfortunately, he lost them and couldn't catch up.

One billion yen!

Naoto Hayashi was quite tempted.

However, money stolen from banks is very difficult to launder. Even if someone manages to steal it through underhanded means, it is easy for the truth to be uncovered later.

This is different from the Maple Leaf Gold Coins he previously intercepted.

So Naoto Hayashi only thought about it for a moment, and soon he put the idea out of his mind.

Conan pinched his chin, his sharp gaze sweeping over the bank brokers.

He had some doubts: could there be someone inside the bank...acting as an informant?

At this point, the police reported that they had found the robbers' abandoned vehicle by the river and discovered several empty suitcases inside.

Clearly, the robbers had already transferred the stolen money.

In addition, there were some hoods and gloves abandoned by the robbers. On one of the hoods, the police found a clear lipstick mark!

With these markings, inspectors can identify the brand of lipstick the other party is using and narrow down their search targets!

Suddenly, Naoto Hayashi's expression changed.

The moment the policeman uttered the word "lipstick," a murderous aura suddenly filled the bank!

Lin Zhiren looked up and saw that it was a beautiful female clerk wearing glasses and with her hair tied up. She looked somewhat familiar.

On the previous occasions when he came to the bank to deposit money, this beautiful female teller had always helped him with his transactions.

Naoto Hayashi still remembers her name; it's "Hirota Masami".

Why did she suddenly become so murderous?

Could it be... that she's an inside agent for the robbers?

At that moment, Conan gently tugged at Naoto Hayashi's sleeve and whispered, "Hey, Naoto-kun, do you think there might be someone inside the bank acting as an informant in this case?"

He was referring to those few T-bets.

Naoto Hayashi nodded, somewhat surprised, and asked, "You figured it out?"

He was referring to Masami Hirota.

Conan smiled slightly, feeling that great minds think alike.

Although this dog has a somewhat wicked personality, its reasoning ability is really good, much better than that muddle-headed Uncle Mori.

Lin Zhiren secretly admired him. As expected of a famous detective, he thought, "I couldn't see any flaws in that person at all, but this kid actually figured it out!"

The two exchanged a glance, feeling a mutual appreciation.

Chapter 51 Gin and Vodka

There was a robber's insider in the bank.

This is the same judgment that Naoto Hayashi and Conan made.

However, this world is too focused on evidence. Without evidence, even if the criminal is standing right in front of you, you can't do anything to him.

So in the end, Kogoro Mouri and his group had no choice but to leave with regret.

We need to wait for the police to find more clues.

However, as Naoto Hayashi drove away, he spotted a black Porsche 356A flashing by on the street corner.

Naoto Hayashi's expression shifted slightly.

That car was extremely famous; it was the official vehicle of Gin and Vodka within the Black Organization's "Distillery"!

How did they end up here?

Could it be that... this bank robbery is related to them?

Yes!

Naoto Hayashi remembered.

A billion yen bank robbery and the Black Organization—that was a crucial case in the original storyline!

Shiho Miyano's older sister, Akemi Miyano, was silenced by the Black Organization!

Next, Shiho Miyano leaves the show, and Ai Haibara enters...

So the timeline has developed this far.

No wonder he thought the name of the beautiful saleswoman, Hirota Masami, sounded familiar; it turned out she was Miyano Akemi.

So here's the question: should we rescue this outer member of the black-clad organization?

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhiren decided to do his best and leave the rest to fate.

We can try to salvage it, but whether it will work or not is not a given.

After all, I am not invincible yet, and I can die if I am killed. Why would I risk my life to save someone?

Besides, he wasn't familiar with Miyano Akemi, and he wouldn't risk his life for a stranger.

Therefore, Naoto Hayashi did not track down that Porsche.

I drove straight home.

……

On the black Porsche 356A.

The driver was a burly man with a fleshy face, wearing sunglasses and a hat, and dressed in a black suit, exuding an aura of gangsters.

The passenger was a tall man with long, flowing silver hair, wearing a black hat and a black trench coat, like a crow in the darkness. His chilling aura seemed to solidify, making him extremely frightening.

It was the Black Organization's vodka and gin.

Vodka glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Brother, no one is following us."

Gin gently wiped the Beretta M92F in his hand and said calmly, "This means that Miyano Akemi has not betrayed us yet, and we can trade with her later."

Vodka couldn't help but ask, "Brother, if we get that billion dollars, are we really going to let that woman Shirley go?"

Gin scoffed and sneered, "No. I'll kill Miyano Akemi as soon as I get the money."

Vodka asked in surprise, "What about Sherry's side...?"

Gin put away his gun, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Ah, Sherry... I'm a little reluctant to let her go, but she's no longer of any use to the organization."

"Previously, Shuichi Akai infiltrated the organization with the help of the Miyano sisters. Although the traitor was later eliminated, Sherry may have already been turned."

"Two years have passed, and the project she was in charge of has not only burned through a large sum of money, but has also yielded no results. With her genius, this is clearly just going through the motions for the organization, and it is even possible that she has tampered with the experimental results!"

Vodka suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. So we're going to squeeze every last drop of value out of the Miyano sisters before we get rid of them!"

Gin snorted and said indifferently, "I will give Sherry one last chance. If she can change her mind after learning that her sister has been eliminated by us and work for the organization again, I might spare her this time... Heh, geniuses do get preferential treatment."

He took out his phone, glanced at the message, and urged, "Let's go to the target's house, take him out, and leave Miyano Akemi's lipstick there so the police can quickly find her connection to this robbery."

"Hmph, the Japanese police are really useless; in the end, we had to take action."

As malicious sounds lingered inside the car, it gradually disappeared into the twilight.

……

the next day.

After getting up early to exercise and working up a sweat, Naoto Hayashi drove to the Mori Detective Agency after having breakfast.

He was still somewhat concerned about the bank robbery that happened yesterday.

If the police have any new leads, they will definitely notify Kogoro Mouri immediately.

Sure enough, when he arrived, he saw Kogoro Mouri talking on the phone with Inspector Megure, looking very serious.

Meanwhile, Conan and Ran were eavesdropping.

Kogoro hung up the phone, frowning, and said, "The bank robbery case has been solved. Last night, it seems there was infighting among the robbers, and two people were shot dead... One of them was the driver, and the other one you'd never guess."

"It turns out to be the bank's cash escort agent, T! He's an inside man!"

Conan frowned and said, "Then there should be one more person?"

Naoto Hayashi asked, "Is it Masami Hirota?"

Kogoro exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know? That's right, it's her! Her lipstick was found at the scene of the crime. She was a bank employee, probably responsible for transmitting internal bank information... So there are two insiders in this case."

Conan and Ran both looked at Naoto Hayashi. How did he guess?
