Chapter 361 Bank Robbery

Teitan School.

As the bell rang for the end of the last class, Ayumi approached Ai Haibara with a smile and asked:

"Haibara-kun, can you come with us to the bank after school later?"

"Ok?"

Ai Haibara, who was packing her schoolbag, looked at Ayumi with a puzzled expression upon hearing this.

Ayumi explained, "We're going to the high school the day after tomorrow, so we're all planning to withdraw some money to have some fun."

Mitsuhiko and Genta also joined in, with the former appearing somewhat excited as he said:

"I heard there are lots of fun things at the school festival. I really want to grow up quickly."

"..."

Ai Haibara and Conan, who were listening in, suddenly became expressionless.

Genta leaned closer to Conan and asked curiously, "Conan, I heard you guys went to Osaka last time. Was it fun there?"

Conan was taken aback, then awkwardly scratched his head in response.

"Huh? Hmm, it's alright."

Okay, where is it okay?

Aside from spending a short time there in the afternoon, the next few days were spent investigating clues about Phantom Thief Kid.

Although there were some gains in the end.

……

On the way to the bank.

Conan watched Ai Haibara's retreating figure, leaned closer, and softly asked:

"Haibara-san, can I ask you something?"

Ai Haibara glanced at Conan.

It seems that the detective only comes to talk to him when Qi Ming is not around.

"You have to pay me to ask me questions."

"..."

Conan had a feeling that Ai Haibara had responded in the same way when he asked her a question last time.

"...We're going to the bank soon, right? I'll give it to you when I get there."

"go ahead."

Conan asked in a deep voice:

Is Kaito Kuroba the same as Kaito Kid?

Ai Haibara glanced at Conan.

It seems the other party did find something in Osaka last time.

Although it seems difficult to find something.

After all, Kaito Kuroba has revealed too much because of Qi Ming.

However, considering that Kaito Kuroba has now been recruited into Qi Ming's organization, it's better not to tell him.

Ai Haibara frowned and looked at Conan with feigned confusion, asking him a question.

Why do you have this misconception?

"I asked Inspector Nakamori at the police headquarters last time, and he told us that the operation was basically arranged with the help of Kaito Kuroba."

"This includes not deploying helicopters in the air."

Conan answered, but observing Ai Haibara's expression, he began to doubt his own deduction.

Seeing that Conan seemed to be starting to doubt himself, Ai Haibara spoke again.

"But if it was arranged by Phantom Thief Kid, why didn't he succeed?"

“He arranged all the police officers, so he should have had a smooth run.”

Conan fell silent and stopped talking.

He's only speculating right now; he still lacks a lot of evidence.

One of the most important pieces of evidence was that Nakamori Ginzo did not tell him and Hattori Heiji.

That was shortly after Kaito Kuroba left, the police officers came and subdued them.

Of course, they would never reveal such a dark history.

"Conan, what are you and Ai Haibara talking about? We've arrived at the bank."

Ayumi looked at the two of them and said, while Mitsuhiko and Genta ran into the bank first.

"There are still quite a few people, it looks like we'll just have to wait."

After glancing at the crowds standing in front of each counter, the group sighed, took a number, and could only obediently wait in line.

Ai Haibara yawned, found a seat, and started scrolling through her phone.

However, not long after she sat down, several people wearing coats suddenly walked into the bank.

Ai Haibara frowned and glanced at the group of people.

The temperature is only around 20 degrees Celsius right now. Isn't it a bit strange to wear a coat in this temperature?

However, when she thought about how many people in the organization wore the same clothes all year round, Ai Haibara didn't find it strange at all.

Gin and Vodka, in particular, seemed to have hardly changed their clothes.

"...It seems like something's wrong."

Conan didn't need to withdraw money; upon seeing the strangely dressed group of people, he felt a sense of unease.

Wearing coats was one thing, but those people even had their hands tightly tucked into their bags, as if they were hiding something.

Just as Conan thought.

The men in overcoats exchanged glances, then each pulled out a pistol from their pocket and shouted:

"No one move!"

"Don't move! Everyone, squat down! Squat down!"

"Don't move, you over there! If you move again, I'll kill you!"

Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

People are coming and going outside; this is the busiest time of day.

Is robbing a bank at this time a bit impulsive?

However, everyone quickly understood the source of their confidence.

The crowd lifted their coats, revealing bundles of detonators strapped to their bodies!

"A bomb! It's a bomb!"

Perhaps because the noise from the crowd was too loud, the robber fired several shots at the ceiling.

A lot of debris fell from the ceiling, and when everyone looked at the bullet holes in the ceiling, they realized that the robbers were not joking.

The leader of the robbers pointed at a clerk behind the counter and shouted:

"You, go and lock the door!"

"well!"

The clerk took out the key and walked tremblingly toward the door.

At this moment, a number of people had gathered outside because of the gunshots, and they were curiously looking around at the bank.

"Someone's robbing a bank! Call the police immediately!"

As they got closer to the door, the teller quickened her pace and shouted loudly to the person outside.

boom!

Gunshots rang out, and everyone watched in horror as one of the robbers shot and killed the teller.

"Dead! Someone's dead!"

"Run! Run! They have guns!"

The crowd gathered outside the bank to watch the commotion turned pale with fear upon seeing the body lying outside the bank's entrance, and they all fled in panic.

"Go and close the door right now!"

Then, the robber called another teller.

This time, the teller behaved and tremblingly pulled down the iron door.

"Keep your voice down, it'll be alright."

Ai Haibara led the children to a corner and squatted down, staring at the robbers with a grim expression.

She glanced at Conan, who also looked serious.

He might be good at solving cases, but he probably can't do anything about this situation.

Ai Haibara took a deep breath.

It seems that now we can only rely on her to take action.

Let's call him Qi Ming!

"Hurry up and put all the money into the bag, hurry up!"

Several robbers stood in a corner, each holding a gun, while another man held a gun to the manager's head and walked toward the vault.

However, at that moment, a sound came from the iron gate.

boom--

As the sound subsided, a large hole appeared in the original iron gate.

The sudden noise startled everyone, and the robbers simultaneously aimed their guns at the door.

Why did the police arrive so quickly?
