Chapter 34: Billion-dollar robbery
The encounter with Gin was just a small episode, and You didn't take it too seriously.
The next top priority is to rescue the Miyano sisters.
And that day will soon arrive.
···
Mitsubishi Bank.
The automatic door at the entrance slowly opened and Youya walked in.
He glanced around the hall, took a number tag, sat in a seat and waited.
Miyano Akemi, no, for now let's just call her Hirota Masami.
Hirota Masami looked at the clock on the wall and exchanged a glance with Youya without leaving a trace.
Yuya nodded slightly.
Hirota Masami took a deep breath, placed a sign on the counter that read "Please go to the next window to process," then stood up and left her seat.
"No. 5, please come over and handle your business!"
Yuya glanced at the number in his hand, then stood up and walked to the counter.
"Please help me change a new passbook." Youye handed over a passbook.
"Okay, please wait." The clerk took the passbook, lowered his head and started to process it.

Parking lot next to the bank.
A money transport truck drove in, carrying a load of banknotes.
The car stopped and the guard sitting in the passenger seat got out as usual and walked to the back of the car.
He knocked on the window. "It's here. Get ready for transport."
"Okay." Someone inside responded.
Just as the guard was about to turn around, he felt something thick and hard pressing against his lower back, and then a deep voice rang out: "Don't move!"
The guard was startled and instinctively reached for his waist.
"boom!"
The guard was hit hard on the back of the head and his eyes rolled back and he passed out.
"What happened?"
Hearing the sound of someone falling to the ground, another guard who was driving the car hurriedly got out of the car with a gun and wanted to come over to check the situation, but saw his colleague lying on the ground.
"!" Before he could make any move, a figure approached him and hit him on the back of the head.
The second guard fell without making any sound.
The masked robber holding a shotgun looked around to see if anyone noticed him, and said coldly to the back door: "You can open the door now."
"Click!" The door was opened, and a guard squatted in the carriage and smiled at the robber.
A car with a large trunk was overturned.
Another robber holding a silenced pistol got out of the car, walked to the back of the armored car, closed one of the doors, found the right angle, and fired the pistol twice against the glass, penetrating it, and the bullets hit the money in the bag.
Then, the two robbers held the guard at gunpoint and forced him to carry the money.
Some of these banknotes were packed in bags, while others were packed in safes.
"Don't make any noise and you'll be fine. Move your things!" said the robber holding a shotgun in a low voice.
"Okay, I got it!" The guard trembled and moved the safes containing large amounts of cash into the trunk of the car one by one according to the robbers' orders.
The safe was moved quickly. The two robbers and the guard looked at each other, got into the car calmly, and sped away.
The guard gritted his teeth and shouted for help: "Help, someone is robbing!"
···
Inspector Megure arrived at the scene quickly.
As soon as Inspector Megure arrived, he saw Yuya and walked up to him out of habit to ask, "Brother Kamiya, you are here too. I received a report that someone robbed a money transport truck. What's the situation at the scene?"
Yuya was a little speechless. Come on, you are the police inspector, okay? Why do you come to ask me?
However, he had a general understanding of the situation, so he began to tell the story: "According to the guard, after the car stopped, he was in the back compartment preparing to move the banknotes as usual, but suddenly someone shot through the glass of the back door with a gun and threatened him to open the door.
He called the cab, but there was no response, and he thought his companion had been killed.
For his own safety, he was forced to open the door, and then, under the threat of the robbers, he moved the bag of banknotes and the safe to the robbers’ car.”
"I see." Inspector Megure nodded thoughtfully.
"In addition, the amount of money robbed this time is not small, a full 1 billion yuan!"
"What?! Ten billion yen?!!!" Inspector Megure yelled, his jaw dropped. Others couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
"···" Youye covered his forehead, feeling a little headache.
He glanced and saw Hirota Masami being scolded by the president for being out for too long. He sighed slightly. Did something happen on the way? Why did they arrive later than planned?
Inspector Megure looked anxious and hurried to ask his subordinates for details.
Ten billion yuan! If the money cannot be recovered, won’t the Metropolitan Police Department be criticized to death?
···
Perhaps because of the huge amount of money, the police investigated quickly and soon found the vehicle used by the robbers abandoned by the river.
"Thank you for your hard work. What are the results of the forensic examination?" Inspector Megure started asking as soon as he arrived at the scene.
"Inspector Megure," the forensic officer came over and explained the situation, "We have taken a general look, and it seems that all the fingerprints have been wiped off."
"Judging from the marks on the car, there may be three robbers."
"Is there anything left behind?" asked Inspector Megure.
The forensic officer came to the back of the car and pointed to several boxes inside and said, "The larger relics are the safes used by the bank to store the boxes. Of course, there are no fingerprints on them."
"Ah, and we found this on the driver's seat." The forensic officer brought over two bags containing a hood and a pair of gloves. "It looks like it was left by the robbers, but unfortunately there's no way to detect fingerprints on it, and no hair residue was found."
Inspector Megure nodded after thinking for a moment, then looked at Yuya beside him: "Brother Kamiya, what do you think?"
Youye frowned, took the two bags, observed them, then opened the bags and smelled them: "I'm afraid these were left here intentionally by the robbers."
Inspector Megure was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Yuya explained: "According to what the guard said before, there were two robbers in total, and the forensic officer said there were three people, so the third person might be the driver. The question is, why is there only one pair of hoods and gloves for three people?"
Inspector Megure nodded in agreement.
"Also," Yuya pointed at the hood and said, "Inspector Megure, look here."
Inspector Megure came closer and took a closer look, and found a pink mark under the hood: "What is this mark?"
Yuya said, "Looking at the shape, it's a lipstick that women use."
"Lipstick, indeed." Inspector Megure nodded, "Isn't this a clue?"
"No, this is most likely a fake." Youye shook his head. "The position of the lipstick is wrong, much lower than the mouth - or this person has a donkey face, the face is very long, and there are no signs of friction. In addition, if it was used by a female robber, it would more or less have some scent of cosmetics, but I don't smell anything."
"Besides, the forensic officer also said that no hair was found on it."
"If the robbers had intentionally cleaned up, why didn't they just take the things away instead of wasting that time?"
Inspector Megure suddenly realized that he didn't expect that Brother Kamiya could see so many things from just a lipstick mark.
He is worthy of being his younger brother!
"So, what Kamiya means is..." Inspector Megure asked tentatively.
Yuya didn't hide it and said directly: "I suspect that this may have been left by the robbers to mislead the police, or to frame them."
“But it can also be used as a direction for investigation.”
Inspector Megure nodded and patted Yuya on the shoulder: "Fortunately, Brother Kamiya is here, otherwise we would have been misled, hahahaha."
Yuya laughed along and said silently in his heart: I'm sorry, Inspector Megure.
