Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

The security personnel arranged by the auction house for such an important auction today are really incompetent.

Of course, Zhiyong was not a robber to be underestimated.

The actions of these robbers demonstrate that they were all rigorously trained, either from the military or police force, or were mercenaries.

Zhiyong only noticed it at this moment.

Although Ayako Suzuki's expression did not change, her body trembled slightly.

Zhiyong grabbed Suzuki Ayako's hand, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Don't worry, I will protect your safety."

Ayako Suzuki nodded without saying anything.

Zhiyong quietly took out his phone from the space.

Zhiyong was about to call the police, but his phone had no signal.

These people were very well prepared; they even brought signal jammers.

Since we can't call the police, we can only take it one step at a time and see what happens.

Zhiyong had already noticed it when he arrived.

The soundproofing at the auction was excellent; no matter how loud the noise inside the venue, it was impossible for anyone outside to hear it.

because of this.

Only these people can act so recklessly.

At least for the time being, no one will realize that something went wrong at the auction.

If these robbers move quickly enough.

They may have already obtained the treasure and left calmly before the police received the report.

The burly man in the gray trench coat walked to the auctioneer's seat.

He took the microphone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please don't panic. We are here only to make money and have no intention of hurting or killing anyone. As long as everyone cooperates, you will not be harmed. This matter will be over soon and you will all be able to leave safely."

Zhiyong observed the situation inside the meeting room, now pondering how to handle it.

If it's just Zhiyong alone, he can simply go invisible.

But doing that in front of so many people is definitely not an option.

If they did that, Zhiyong would be exposing the secrets of his invisibility, etc.

If invisibility is no longer an option, illusions can still help Zhiyong.

Zhi Yong could sense that the man in the trench coat who was speaking had a strong murderous aura.

The same thing happened to several other people.

Zhiyong had discovered it before.

Illusions are not a panacea.

Aside from those with strong mental fortitude, illusions have no effect on them.

If someone exudes a strong murderous aura, it may be due to the influence of that aura.

Illusions have almost no effect on them.

As Zhiyong was thinking, he felt someone grab his arm.

Zhiyong turned around and saw that Suzuki Ayako was very nervous and hugged Zhiyong's arm tightly.

To comfort Ayako Suzuki, Tomoyuki smiled and gently patted her on the shoulder.

"Everyone gather in the rest area and sit down. Anyone who dares to make any move will be killed without mercy."

Their lives are now threatened.

These usually impeccably dressed, successful people dared not offer the slightest resistance.

Under the watchful eyes of the robbers, they all made their way to the rest area.

One by one, they all sat down on the ground.

If this scene were to appear in the newspapers, then there would be quite a spectacle to behold.

The burly man in the trench coat watched as everyone obeyed his orders and gathered in the rest area, where they all sat on the ground.

He then said, "Mr. Shinichi Tomosaka, the person in charge of the auction house, and Mr. Yuji Matsuyama, the person in charge of the security company, please come out."

After the man in the trench coat finished speaking.

Two people stood up shakily from the crowd.

One of them was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties with half of his hair turned white, and the other was a middle-aged man in his forties with a robust physique.

The burly man in the trench coat smiled and said, "It is said that this auction uses the world's most advanced security system, which requires three layers of passwords to open. These glass barriers are not only bulletproof, but if forcibly opened, they will also cause an explosion."

“Yes, this is the latest security system developed in the United States. It has already been widely adopted in the US, and this is the first time our auction house has used it,” the old man replied.

The elderly man was none other than Shinichi Tomosaka, the person in charge of this auction.

……

Chapter 178 Bomb

The burly man in the trench coat said expressionlessly, "It is said that the first and second layers of the password were kept secret by your auction house and the security company, respectively. Now, tell me the passwords that you each know."

Shinichi Tomosaka added, "Sir, I am just a small manager in the auction house. The first layer of password kept by the auction house will only be told to me by the manager after the auction ends."

Yuji Matsuyama quickly added, "That's the same for me. The security company only tells me the password when the auction ends, when the customer picks up the item, or when the item is returned to its owner after it fails to sell."

"Oh, that's a real shame. Since you can't help, there's no point in keeping you around."

After the man in the trench coat finished speaking, he raised his pistol and shot each of the two men in the head.

"Bang, bang."

The two men had barely shown any fear before they were struck and fell to the ground dead, before they could even cry out.

"what!"

"Murder!"

After the man in the trench coat killed the two men, the scene became chaotic again.

Although Ayako Suzuki didn't scream, she clung tightly to Tomoyuki's arm.

"Anyone who makes another sound will be killed on the spot," the burly man in the trench coat shouted.

The scene immediately fell silent again.

"Now it all depends on you. We only have one hour, otherwise it will affect our evacuation." The burly man in the trench coat said to a young man next to him.

The young man nodded and said, "Isn't this exactly why I came here? Don't worry, no matter how complicated their passwords are, it's a piece of cake for me."

When the young people answered.

On the other side, someone had already placed a computer on the table and assembled it.

The computer started up quickly after being plugged in.

After all the preparations are completed.

The young man sat down at the table, his fingers dancing across the keyboard.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

Zhiyong could sense that this young man's computer skills were even higher than Jiangyuan Shion's.

However, Zhiyong is now utterly speechless about the security measures at the auction house.

The robbers were able to bring guns into the auction venue without difficulty, and they could even easily bring in computers.

But the security personnel didn't notice.

This, of course, also proves it.

This is definitely a robbery involving collusion between insiders and outsiders.

There must be a mole within the auction house or security company to allow these robbers to succeed so easily.

As long as his life isn't in danger, Zhiyong doesn't want to be the first to stick his neck out.

Anyway, the items at the auction.

Zhi Yong had already checked the space once and found no materials needed for the space upgrade.

Although the total value of these items is astronomical.

But now, money is really just a string of numbers to Zhiyong.

Therefore, Zhiyong didn't care about these items.

Zhiyong held Suzuki Ayako in his arms the whole time to keep her from being scared.

Time passed little by little.

Zhiyong originally wanted to keep a low profile.

If these robbers were really only after money, Zhiyong wouldn't bother with them.

None of the items auctioned were his.

Although I don't want to take action, it's for safety reasons.

Zhiyong continued to keep an eye on the robbers' every move out of the corner of his eye.

In this world, there are many things where plans can't keep up with the rapid changes.

Half an hour had passed.

The young man wiped his sweat and said, "OK, we've broken through the first two layers of defense. Only the last layer remains."

"How much longer?" the burly man in the trench coat asked.

“The last line of defense is more troublesome and will take about fifteen to twenty minutes,” the young man replied.

The burly man in the trench coat whispered a few words to one of the robbers next to him.

The man winked at the other robber.
