Chapter 031 Bank Robbery
Dong Yexi squatted in the crowd, observing his surroundings silently.
There were only three armed robbers, but the system gave four suspects, which means they had an accomplice.
He clicked on the names of four people, and the descriptions of three of them were: "Bank robber, in an extremely tense state, the gun in your hand may go off at any time, please be careful!"
As for another user, Mayumi Musen, the system directly stated her identity: a bank teller who worked together with the robbers and planned the robbery.
She was the teller who helped Dong Yexi with his business.
Although she was hiding in the crowd and didn't have a gun, Dong Yexi was even more wary of her. People who disguised themselves like this would often suddenly fire a cold gun, so they had to be on guard.
Moreover, this crisis certainly cannot be resolved in advance, so he can only find a way to avoid the fatal blow at the last moment.

When the robbers rushed into the bank, passers-by called the police.
But it may be human nature to join in the fun. Even though they knew that the robbers had guns, there was still a group of people who were willing to pay their own way hiding in a shop opposite the bank, looking over there curiously.
Hatori Yui was also brought to a safe place by the man with glasses, but he was more anxious than the onlookers.
At this time, Edogawa Conan rushed over on a skateboard and stopped in front of them.
Edogawa Conan grabbed the man with glasses and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Subaru, the police will be here soon, can you help?"
Subaru Okiya nodded and whispered, "Okay, you keep an eye on it here, I'll go find a place." As he said that, he picked up the golf bag beside him and walked out.
Hatori Yui noticed their conversation. After Okiya Subaru left, he squatted down and grabbed Edogawa Conan and asked, "Why are you here? And you don't seem surprised at all about the bank robbery?"
Conan Edogawa explained, "I accidentally came across the robbers' bag on the road. I had a hunch that there was a rifle inside, so I kept following them. When I saw they were wearing hoods, I knew they were going to rob a bank, and I immediately called the police." He glanced outside, "The police should be here soon."
Hatori Yui frowned. He still remembered the man's words of advice. If the police showed up, wouldn't that only incite the robbers? If the robbers couldn't escape, wouldn't the hostages be in even greater danger?
Seeing his ugly expression, Edogawa Conan asked, "What's wrong?"
Hatori Yuiichi glanced at him and whispered, "Senior Tono is inside."
Edogawa Conan was stunned.
No wonder he looked so uneasy. How could he not be anxious when his boyfriend was in danger?
Edogawa Conan understood Hatori Yuichi's feelings very well. He patted his arm comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to Brother Tono!"
Hatori Yui nodded slightly, just to comfort herself.
Just as Conan said, the police arrived quickly. More than a dozen police cars surrounded the bank entrance. Every policeman was fully armed, using car doors and explosion-proof shields for cover, and all their guns were pointed at the bank door.
Then Inspector Megure came out and shouted inside.
The three robbers started to panic when they heard the sound of the police car.
"What happened? The police came so quickly?"
"We specifically chose a location farthest from the police station, how come they arrived in less than five minutes?!"
"When did the Japanese police become so effective?"
"Then are we still robbing?"
"Nonsense! How can I give up now that it has come to this!"
"Hurry up and prepare it!" A robber poked the bank manager with the tip of his gun, threatening him to speed up.
The bank manager had no choice but to do as he was told.
When Dong Yexi heard what they said, he felt something was wrong.
With so much money in the bag and police officers everywhere, the robbers would definitely use hostages to get away! And based on the current intelligence analysis, he is the most likely hostage!
After all, the system countdown is still ticking, and he doesn't believe he will escape.
After the bank manager filled three large bags with cash, he was pushed aside by the robbers.
The three robbers put on their backpacks. One of them walked to the door, took a look outside, and then quickly retreated. "We are surrounded. What should we do now?"
"Then threaten them with hostages!"
A tall robber grabbed a hostage, held her at gunpoint, and walked out the door.
Dong Yexi became even more panicked when he saw the person he chose.
The person being kidnapped is Mayu Kumori! The robber must have a purpose for kidnapping his companion!
When a robber came out with a hostage, the police immediately became nervous.
Officer Megure immediately said, "If you have any conditions, please put them forward. Please do not harm the hostages!"
The tall man roared, "Get the car ready for us in ten minutes!"
Inspector Megure immediately said: "The time is too short!"
The tall man: "I don't care! If it takes more than a minute, I will kill one person!" After that, he took the hostage back to the bank lobby.
Conan Edogawa was hiding in the corner and talking to Subaru Okiya: "There are three robbers, they have taken hostages, we can't take action now."
"I know." Subaru Okiya stared at the bank door through the scope of his sniper rifle. He said calmly, "I will wait for them to retreat before attacking."
Edogawa Conan paused and said, "Yeah." The most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the hostages.
Higashino Xi saw the robber coming back with Mayu Kimori, but he was standing near the door, and he was very confused.
They are standing at the door, aren't they afraid of snipers?
Ten minutes later, the police sent them a car as requested, and the three kidnappers moved out with Mayu Kimori.
At this time, Dong Yexi suddenly discovered that there were three bulging bags in the middle of the hall. They were brought by the kidnappers!
Could there be a bomb in here?!
Dong Yexi was suddenly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
In the world of Detective Conan, guns and bombs are very common, and even ordinary people can easily get them.
Moreover, he didn't believe that the robbers would leave three bags for no reason. There must be something in them!
At this moment, the tall man who walked to the door took out a detonator, shook it at the police, and said, "I know there must be something wrong with this car. I'm giving you one more chance. If you don't cooperate, I will die with the hostages!"
When Inspector Megure saw the detonator in his hand, his pupils shrank sharply. He immediately said, "Please don't be impulsive! We will reschedule immediately!"
While waiting, the tall man turned around and said something to the other two, and then the two of them walked straight towards Dong Yexi.
The two robbers pointed their guns at him and shouted, "Stand up!"
Higashino Xi: ...He just knew it!
Under the threat of the gun, Dong Yexi silently raised his hands and stood up.
One of the kidnappers was about to grab his neck from behind, but he found that Dong Yexi was too tall and the action was a little difficult for him, so he pointed the gun at Dong Yexi's back instead.
Dong Yexi was brought before the tall robber, and all he heard was him say, "Damn rich man! Since you're so rich, it shouldn't be too much to pay for your life, right?"
Dong Yexi: ??? Listen to what you said, is this human language?
The tall man said, “Call your family and ask them to prepare a plane to send us abroad.”
Dong Yexi looked at him in confusion and said, "I, my family doesn't have a plane..."
The tall man scoffed: "Can't we rent it if we don't have it?"
Dong Yexi hesitated and said, "But...chartering a plane is very expensive, I don't have that much money..."
The tall man rolled his eyes and said, "Who would believe that a super VIP user like you has no money?"
Dong Yexi: ...That must be what the teller said! I knew she was going to cause trouble!
"Call quickly!" The man behind him stabbed Dong Yexi with the muzzle of a gun.
Dong Yexi could only bite the bullet and say, "I, I actually had a falling out with my family and ran away from home... I don't have any of my family's contact information on my phone now."
Tall man: "Do you think I will believe it?"
Dong Yexi immediately revealed a very sincere look: "Really! I didn't lie to you! Because I like men, my father kicked me out of the house!"
The four people around were all stunned when they heard it, and the man behind Dong Yexi couldn't help but take a step back.
The tall man's mouth twitched a few times, and he looked him up and down in disbelief: "What are these rich second-generations thinking about all day long? They don't even care about money for love?!"
Mayu Musen, standing by, couldn't help herself. She said, "There's no time to waste on him." She turned and walked to the counter, pulled up Higashino Hiroshi's information, wrote down a number, and said, "There's an emergency contact in the bank system. Call this number."
The tall man took out his cell phone and dialed the number. The first thing he said was, "I have your son in my hands. Prepare 1 billion in cash and a plane for me immediately!"
Dong Yexi also pricked up his ears curiously, only to hear a click and the phone was hung up.
The two looked at each other.
The tall man glanced at his phone in shock: "He actually hung up on me?!" He looked at Dong Yexi, "Isn't he your dad? He really doesn't care about you anymore?!"
Dong Yexi thought: How would I know this?
But he said, "He, he might think it's a scam call..."
The tall man was so angry that he hit it again, then handed it to Dong Yexi: "You tell me yourself!"
Dong Yexi swallowed and said to the phone: "Dad, I've been kidnapped, come and save me!"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and then a young male voice came: "Where are you?"
Dong Yexi's heart skipped a beat.
It's game over. That doesn't sound like "Dad" to me!
The tall man muttered, "Your father has a rather youthful voice."
Dong Yexi smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm at the Rice Flower Bank. I should be on the news now..."
There was another silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, he vaguely heard the sound of news.
The man said, "We can get you ready in half an hour, but the plane is parked at XX Airport, so you'll have to find a way to get there yourself."
"Sure!" After hanging up the phone, the tall man glanced at Dong Yexi, "You said your family doesn't have a plane? How can you arrange it so quickly without a plane?"
Dong Yexi forced a smile: "I don't know much about my family's assets..."
The person behind him commented: "Then you are just a stupid son who doesn't care about anything!"
Dong Yexi: ...You are the stupid one!
At this time, the police finally delivered a complete car.
The three robbers took Mayu Kumori and Higashino Higashi hostage and moved out together.
Higashino Hiroshi noticed out of the corner of his eye that the tall man secretly transferred the detonator to Mayu Kimori's hands. He must be trying to guard against the police doing anything tricky.
Cold sweat broke out on Dong Yexi's forehead.
If the police suddenly take action against the robbers and ignore Mayu Kimori, then everyone will be finished!
Be sure to find a way to alert the police!
He turned his head slightly to look around, and when he saw Hatori Yui standing on the periphery, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he put his right hand on his chest and made a few quick gestures.
When Higashino Hiroshi was taken out by the robbers, Hatori Yuiichi could not sit still and walked out immediately. If Edogawa Conan had not stopped him, he might have rushed up directly!
At this time, he and Edogawa Conan both discovered that Higashino Xi was making gestures.
Edogawa Conan frowned: "What kind of gesture is this? Why don't I understand it?"
Hatori Yui suddenly understood.
"These are our volleyball team's tactical hand signals. They mean 'regular high ball at position four,' 'rush at position four,' and 'cross at position four.' He kept emphasizing position four, indicating that there were four robbers!"
Conan Edogawa immediately turned around and looked over: "Then the four people except him are all robbers!" Then he ran towards Inspector Megure and shouted into the phone, "Mr. Akai!"
"I heard it." Akai Shuichi's calm voice came, "Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on it."
