Chapter 51 Chapter 51 The Rich Family Banquet Murder Case (Part 2…)
After some time, the police finally arrived.
Before this, Saionji Gyoon noticed the movement outside the door. She thought that Mr. Ango had confirmed the identity of the deceased, and the Special Ability Agent Department retreated collectively.
"You're very concerned about this case?"
Yuyin was eating with an absent-minded look on her face, her mind not at all in the room, so Atobe Keigo naturally noticed it immediately.
"You don't seem surprised at all that the person who died wasn't the eldest son of the Matsudaira family?"
If the deceased had been Ryoichirō Matsudaira, this would have been a simple family dispute. As an only son, Keigo Atobe's family had few such problems, but he had heard plenty of such rumors growing up, and they weren't surprising. But now that the deceased wasn't Ryoichirō Matsudaira, the matter simply took on a tinge of mystery.
Keigo Atobe is not a curious person. If he had not been one of the people who discovered the scene and was passively involved in the dispute, he might not have cared about this matter at all.
The solemn yet understanding look on Yuyin's face when she saw the deceased's face showed that she knew something about the inside story.
Could it be... Thinking of Yuyin's special "profession", Atobe Keigo's face turned strange.
"Could it be that kind of thing causing trouble again?"
Yuyin suddenly realized what he was talking about and said, "No."
No matter how calm and composed Atobe was, he was still an ordinary boy after all. The existence of supernatural creatures such as monsters and cursed spirits was indeed too much for him.
But Yuyin thought about it and realized that what Atobe was thinking was not completely wrong. "It's not a monster, but it's definitely not an ordinary person..."
As soon as she said this, there was a knock on the door.
"Excuse me."
The person who came in was a police officer who called himself Takagi Wataru and asked the two of them to assist in the investigation.
Tamane and Atobe exchanged a glance, and Atobe stood up and said to Takagi Wataru, "Let me do it. My girlfriend isn't feeling well. We went there at the same time just now, and I know everything she knows."
Takagi Shigeru was not a strong-willed person to begin with. After hearing what Atobe said, he immediately backed off and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Do you need me to call a doctor?"
Yuyin waved her hands, her face visibly pale: "It's okay, I just saw the corpse suddenly and was scared..."
Takagi Shigeru nodded in understanding. When he first saw the corpse, he was so scared that he vomited all over the place.
Atobe Keigo gave Tamane a reassuring look and left the room with Takagi Wataru.
*
After the door closed, silence returned to the room.
But Yuyin did not let down her guard.
Years of special work experience have trained her intuition to be extremely sharp.
Just like now, her intuition told her that the troubles she encountered today were far from over.
Yuyin absentmindedly took a bite of a piece of Nagasaki honey cake, only to realize that there was no Atobe to chat with her to ease her mood. Being alone, she couldn't help feeling anxious, and no matter how sweet the food was, it couldn't comfort her.
I took another sip of coffee. The black liquid in the cup had become a little cold, and the aroma was gone. It slid down my throat and brought a bit of bitterness.
Just then, the door knocked again.
Yuyin didn't think much: "Please come in."
The person who walked in through the door was someone she had not expected, but also someone she expected.
Sakaguchi Ango.
Yuyin put down the cup and stood up subconsciously: "Mr. Anwu..."
Sakaguchi Ango pushed his glasses up with his usual calm expression and said, "Should I say long time no see, Saionji?"
It was as if he had already expected her to be in the room, without any shock or suspense.
Without waiting for Yuyin to reply, he closed the door, locked it, and walked into the room.
Yuyin witnessed him slowly closing the door, and a thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly realized it.
Even though she had avoided a face-to-face confrontation with Mr. Ango, her surroundings were full of vulnerabilities. If Mr. Ango used his powers to confirm Maruyama Shoichi's identity, the doorknob in this room, even the floor she had just walked on, could be read, revealing her presence. Perhaps this was how her whereabouts were exposed to Mr. Ango.
Little did she know that the reason for her exposure was earlier and more bizarre than this.
Once the door is closed, the room becomes a closed space again.
Sakaguchi Ango took a few steps inside and stared at Saionji Tamane for a long time. His eyes finally lost their usual calmness and revealed a complicated mood. He said, "Don't worry. No one knows that you are alive except me."
As if afraid that Yuyin wouldn't believe him, he shook his head and added, "Even to Commander Taneda, who is in the banquet hall right now, I haven't reported it to him."
Yuyin looked into his eyes and was surprised to find that what Mr. Ango said was actually true.
"Why?" Although the two had worked together for several years and had a very good relationship between superiors and subordinates, Yuyin did not think that her relationship with Mr. Ango was so good that he would be willing to deliberately deceive his superiors for her.
After thinking about it, she could only guess: "What are your conditions?"
"Conditions?" Sakaguchi Ango muttered the word and smiled bitterly. So that's how you think of me. "No, no conditions. Even if it's..." He hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Just to repay the favor you gave me when you saved Mr. Odasaku."
Yuyin blinked, and it took her a long time to realize what Mr. Ango was referring to.
"Mr. Ango, what are you doing..."
Sakaguchi Ango pushed up his glasses, and a bright light flashed across the lenses: "How do you know it's yours?"
Yuyin nodded heavily. She felt that she had done it very secretly back then and had never revealed her true face in front of anyone from beginning to end. It was impossible for anyone to know it was her.
"Are you reflecting on where you gave yourself away?" Sakaguchi Ango finally smiled for the first time since they met again. "It's simple. You once removed your disguise to comfort those frightened children, especially the youngest, Sakura. Though they were young, the image of you, their savior, has been deeply engraved in their minds..."
As Mr. Anwu continued to tell the story, Yuyin gradually recalled the past.
*
When Saionji Tamon traveled to the second world, Yokohama was in its darkest and most chaotic period.
The leader of the Port Mafia has become increasingly moody due to his illness, and he often kills innocent citizens for no apparent reason.
Even the original family of three she traveled through died in a gunfight caused by a grenade for some inexplicable reason. Outsiders thought that the eleven-year-old girl had stayed in the hospital emergency room all night and was lucky enough to survive. Only Saionji Tamane knew that the original family died with their parents, and the one who survived was her who happened to come here.
She had no good feelings towards Mafia, which destroyed order and harmed lives, so naturally she hated it even more.
But at that time, she had no intention of joining an organization like Scepter4 as she had in the previous world.
Later, because she saved classmates and passers-by, her abilities were exposed and she was forcibly recruited as a member by the Special Ability Department. This happened after she had spent two years peacefully in Yokohama.
When she first joined the Special Ability Agent Department, she was less than fourteen years old, which was really too young. At that time, she also heard people arguing that she should be transferred to a secret force called the Hounds. In the end, it seemed that because of the exchange of interests among those above, she was kept in the Special Ability Agent Department as a force field officer.
In the eyes of those in power, she is just a useful tool.
This time, she grows faster than in Scepter 4.
Compared with the united, friendly and humane Scepter 4, the Special Ability Agency was undoubtedly a cold bureaucratic organization. No one would care about her life except herself. At that time, she was not sure whether she could return to her original world after her death, so she had to be extremely careful in every mission.
When working and living in a bureaucracy, obedience is the first prerequisite.
She is willing to follow orders most of the time, unless the order is ridiculous and goes against human nature.
While working in the Special Ability Division, Saionji Gyoon seriously violated orders twice.
The first time was during the Dragon Head War. In order to let the major underground organizations in Yokohama fight each other and cause maximum damage, the top leaders of the Special Ability Agent Department strictly ordered that no conflict should occur with these underground organizations during this period.
But Yuyin couldn't help it, especially when she saw those rubbish organizations fighting each other with superpowers or hot weapons without caring about the ordinary people around them. She picked up the bow and arrow and attacked them directly, trying her best to save the passers-by she saw.
Afterwards, she received severe punishment from her superiors.
Of course, this didn't hurt Yuyin at all. She hadn't thought about getting promoted or getting rich, so it didn't matter what the punishment was.
But this made her restrain herself a little when she took action for the second time. At least she remembered to disguise herself. As long as those rubbish senior executives didn't know that she had violated orders, it was equivalent to her not violating orders.
The second time she violated orders was the Mimic incident.
The Mimic organization smuggled into the island country, causing all kinds of unrest, and the Special Ability Agent Department was not convenient to take action. Of course, taking action personally would kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of their own, which was not cost-effective.
At this moment, the new leader of the Port Mafia, Mori Ogai, handed over a ladder and asked to help deal with Mimic, on the condition that the Special Power Department would issue a special power business license to the Port Mafia afterwards.
The farming chief agreed without hesitation. A thin license could bring him the greatest benefits, so why not agree?
In order to demonstrate the capabilities of the Port Mafia, the Special Ability Agent Department has restrained its own members since the deal was reached and no longer cares about Mimic's chaos.
Saionji Tamon had no choice but to rescue people secretly, while wearing all kinds of perfect disguises on her body.
In order to avoid leaving any evidence, she even deliberately did not use physical arrows, but instead used the power of the Blue Clan to condense energy arrows to attack the enemy. Although the attack power of such arrows was not as strong as physical arrows with power attached, it greatly reduced the chances of her being suspected.
It was while secretly dealing with the Mimic members that she accidentally discovered their plan to attack a Western restaurant, killing the owner and blowing up several children in his family.
Of course, Yuyin couldn't just turn a blind eye to this and ignore it. She rescued the shop owner and snatched the children away before the other party succeeded, and then took the children away from the scene before the opponent detonated the bomb.
Among the five children, the youngest was a girl named Sakura. She was frightened by the noise of the explosion. She only took off her hat and mask for a short time when trying to comfort Sakura. She didn't expect that the other party would remember her appearance.
Since it was unclear why Mimic attacked the store owner and the five children, and also unclear whether he would attack again, Yuyin took them to a hidden safe house that no one knew about.
The amiable shop owner told her that the children were adopted by a kind young man named Oda Sakunosuke and were boarding with him. He knew that the surrounding area was very chaotic recently, but he never expected that the group of troublemakers would choose to come to his Western restaurant.
When Yuyin heard the name, she was stunned. After several years in Yokohama World, she has gradually found a certain pattern. People with special abilities do not necessarily have common special features, but people with the names of historical and modern literary masters must be very special, such as the leader of the Port Mafia Mori Ogai, cadres Dazai Osamu, and Nakahara Chuuya; for example, the president of the Armed Detective Agency Fukuzawa Yukichi, member Edogawa Ranpo, and so on.
Someone who also bears the name of the famous rogue writer Oda Sakunosuke would probably not be a simple person.
Perhaps because she talked about adoptive parents with the store owner, Sakura and another younger boy's eyes were red. The little girl even pulled her sleeve and begged her pitifully, wanting her to go find Oda Sakunosuke.
Yuyin thought again and realized that the Western restaurant was reduced to ruins, so she really needed to notify the adoptive parents that the children were safe. So she agreed immediately and after preparing enough food for the owner and the children, she left the safe house.
However, she did not return to the bombed western restaurant to wait, but went directly to the Special Ability Agent Department to secretly retrieve information to find out who this Oda Sakunosuke was. Only then did she know Oda Sakunosuke's special ability and the reason why Mimic attacked those children.
The latest news she read was said to come from an excellent intelligence agent who had just joined the team. It was Oda Sakunosuke who had already found Mimic's base in the suburbs in order to avenge his adopted child.
When she saw the news, Yuyin hesitated.
Oda Sakunosuke is a low-level member of the Port Mafia, which she hates. Although according to the information, he does not kill people, respects the elderly and loves children, and is extremely helpful, making him a model young man, but Mafia is Mafia. Does she really need to risk being discovered for violating orders to save the life of a Mafia member?
But thinking of the expectant eyes of Sakura and the other four children, Tamane tightened and loosened her grip on the bow and arrow, and finally rushed towards the Mimic base.
When she arrived at the scene of the mansion, it was the last moment of the duel. Seeing that both sides were about to shoot at the same time, she only had a little time to shoot an arrow, which slightly deflected the gun of Oda Sakunosuke's opponent, Mimic leader Gide.
Gide's bullet did not hit Oda Sakunosuke's heart, but passed through his lung lobe, causing heavy bleeding.
Yuyin had no choice but to use the power of the Qing Clan again. Now she thought that maybe there was spiritual power in it, but she didn't know any magic at that time, let alone healing magic. She pressed her hand on the bleeding wound of the other person and simply used her special ability to relieve his injuries.
It was at this time that Dazai Osamu arrived with a panicked look on his face.
With a look of despair and pessimism, he begged Odasaku not to die. Odasaku smiled with a pale face and even told him his last words, which seemed to be that he hoped he would be a good person in the future. She could not remember the specific words now and could not repeat them in full.
But at that time, she rolled her eyes with the only eye that was exposed and said to Dazai in a bad mood: "Can you please call an ambulance? If you don't call a doctor for emergency treatment, he will die from excessive blood loss even if I take emergency measures."
The air was too quiet for a moment.
Whether it was the heartbroken Dazai Osamu or the dying Oda Sakunosuke, their faces were unnaturally stiff for a moment.
After a moment, Dazai Osamu hurriedly took out his cell phone, dialed the emergency number, and called an ambulance.
Tamane followed the car that safely brought Oda Sakunosuke to the hospital, saw that he was connected to various medical devices, and was sure that his life was probably safe. Only then did she remove her hand that had been pressing on the man to input power to maintain his vital signs, and slipped away when no one was paying attention.
The Mimic incident had since subsided, and she no longer had to worry about the children's safety. She returned to the safe house and informed the owner of the incident, but still let them stay there for three days.
Because it was not until three days later that she received the news that Oda Sakunosuke had woken up from his serious injuries and coma, so she felt relieved to send the children to the hospital and let them visit their adoptive parents whom they had missed for a long time.
*
The above is the cause and effect of Saionji Gyoen rescuing Oda Sakunosuke. It was not so much a coincidence as it was due to her inherent soft-heartedness.
She simply could not bear to watch the weak being trampled upon by the powerful without doing anything. This compassion seemed to be innate. Even after experiencing the torture and destruction of four worlds, every time she saw the weak suffering, she could not help it. Her body always moved before her mind.
"...Later, those children realized that if you hadn't appeared that day, not only they themselves, but also Mr. Odasaku would have ceased to exist. For that, they were very grateful to you. Sakura has always wanted to say thank you to you in person, but the situation was chaotic, and Mr. Odasaku and Dazai-kun didn't get a clear look at your face. The only children who saw you clearly were still young, so they had no idea where to find you."
Ango Sakaguchi recounted the events of that year.
Yuyin smiled helplessly and said, "But Mr. Anwu, you guys finally found out it was me..."
Sakaguchi Ango was silent for a moment before he said, "That's because Saku has been constantly refining her painting techniques in order to depict your likeness. After a few years, she was finally able to draw your appearance almost faithfully. Mr. Odasaku brought the portrait to me, hoping that I could help him find this benefactor. As soon as I saw the portrait, I recognized that it was someone who had recently passed away..."
Yuyin smiled bitterly and continued: "Me."
After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Mr. Ango, you didn't tell those kids about me, did you?"
It would be a huge blow if those children were full of hope, thinking that they could finally find their savior through their efforts, but suddenly found out that the savior was dead.
"No," Sakaguchi Ango shook his head. "Not only did I not tell those children about your identity and the fact that you were dead, I didn't even tell Odasaku."
If Odasaku knew that the girl who saved him was dead, the sadness in his heart would not be shallow.
"But besides me, now there are other people who know that you saved them."
Yuyin opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Who else?"
"Dazai-kun," Sakaguchi Ango said after a moment's thought, "and everyone from the Armed Detective Agency."
Dazai Osamu knew the true identity of the girl from the moment he saw the portrait in Odasaku's hand. After all, as a former cadre of the Port Mafia, he knew a lot about the information of the Special Ability Department. The members of the Armed Detective Agency found out after accepting Odasaku's commission to find someone, but no one had the heart to tell Odasaku that his benefactor was dead, so this commission to find someone was put on hold. Odasaku thought that he had not found the person, and he was not the kind of person who would force others, so he did not press his colleagues at the Armed Detective Agency again.
Yuyin was completely unaware of the complex story. She was simply shocked and said, "I just saved him on impulse. Why did you make such a big fuss..."
"Save people as you please?" Sakaguchi Ango repeated these words.
"Yes, what else could we do?" Yuyin said with a slightly puzzled expression. "All life is tenaciously surviving, struggling to survive. If we can help and save someone, why not?"
Yes, he already knew it in his heart, didn't he?
Sakaguchi Ango thought that his subordinate had a pure heart that was completely unsuitable for survival in a bureaucratic organization. Even if it meant violating orders from his superiors, he would prioritize human lives. He was just a coward, standing behind Chief Taneda and listening to his deal with Mori Ogai, not daring to disobey in the slightest, and watching Odasaku go to seek revenge on Gide without being able to stop him.
On the surface, Saionji Gyoon saved Oda Sakunosuke alone, but in fact, he saved Dazai-kun and him together.
"You're right, there's nothing wrong with helping others."
Sakaguchi Ango raised the corners of his lips, revealing a genuine and natural smile, "So this time, I will not take the initiative to report your matter to Chief Taneda."
"Huh?"
Yuyin wondered how the topic had jumped from her saving the person to Mr. Ango's offer to cover up the incident. Could it be that Mr. Ango, inspired by her willingness to help others, had realized that covering up her story was also a way of helping others, and was determined to do a good deed?
But for her, this is indeed good news that makes her feel relieved. As long as Mr. Ango, who possesses the [Theory of Degeneration], does not report her, the chances of other people in the Special Ability Agent Department discovering her identity will be much smaller.
Perhaps because he saw her expression suddenly relax, Sakaguchi Ango suddenly dropped another bomb: "I can guarantee that I won't reveal your identity, but others may not, such as Dazai-kun."
"Dazai Osamu?" Tamane's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered the last time she met Dazai Osamu in Yokohama. At that time, she didn't know that Dazai already knew that Saionji Tamane was the one who saved Oda Sakunosuke that day. No wonder he looked a little strange when he saw her.
As expected, Sakaguchi Ango continued, "More than two months ago, when I ran into Dazai-kun by chance, he suddenly asked me if I was really dead. He jokingly asked if your death was a smokescreen created by the Special Ability Division, and that the real you had faked your own death and was going undercover on a mission just like I had done."
When the Mimic incident first broke out, he and Dazai broke up because of his triple undercover identity. It was not until he introduced Mr. Natsume to Odasaku and ran around to whitewash Dazai's file that the relationship between the two eased a little.
However, when they met occasionally, Dazai-kun would always stab him to feel relieved, just like this time. He only now understood that Dazai was testing Saionji's life or death, but at that time he thought that Dazai was still brooding over the harm caused by his triple undercover identity.
Dazai's sudden mention of Saionji still aroused a hint of suspicion in him, but Sakaguchi Ango had never thought that Saionji was still alive. After all, as an orphan, the posthumous arrangements for Saionji Gyoen's death after he died accidentally while saving someone were all handled by him, his direct superior.
Now seeing the living Saionji Tamon, Sakaguchi Ango suddenly doubted his memory. Either the corpse he saw that year was fake, or Saionji was faking his death, or there was a special ability in the world that could resurrect people.
No matter which possibility it was, it seemed that he should not conceal it but should report it immediately. However, Sakaguchi Ango just wanted to be willful this time. As an unintentional intelligence officer, he wanted to trust his subordinate with the most ardent and innocent heart and pretend that he was completely unaware of it.
"Two months ago, I met Dazai Osamu once... It shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Yuyin's tone was uncertain, and she felt that she was completely deceiving herself. Dazai Osamu, that was a man who became a terrible cadre of the Port Mafia at a young age.
Sakaguchi Ango seemed to have guessed where her thoughts were going as he consoled her, "Dazai-kun is no longer a member of the Port Mafia. I guess he wanted to confirm your identity so he could happily tell Odasaku that he had finally found his benefactor."
Especially since he had surpassed him and arrived earlier than him, it seemed that Dazai was almost getting too proud of himself.
That’s it?
Yuyin was confused again.
Digging up the identity and privacy of a benefactor who saved your best friend's life, just to show off your abilities in front of your best friend, are you a three-year-old child? Have you considered the psychological trauma of this benefactor?
Well, it seemed like she was about the same age as she was in that world, and was no longer a teenager. But Dazai, a Mafia veteran, clearly wasn't so devoted to her as to benefactor. Perhaps she didn't care, or perhaps Dazai was so conceited he thought he could handle any trouble he got into?
Tamane, who had little actual contact with Dazai Osamu and only knew him through archives and materials, thought pessimistically.
"Mr. Ango, you have just examined the body of the deceased, right? Do you know who the real murderer is?" Yuyin no longer wanted to beat around the bush on the issue of Dazai Osamu, so she decisively changed the subject and brought up the murder case that happened next door.
Sakaguchi Ango followed her lead and changed the subject, shaking his head. "No, the memories I retrieved only included his actions after he disguised himself as Matsudaira Ryoichirō. For example, he entered the lounge, taunted Matsudaira Kojirō and his girlfriend, and then clashed with them. There's almost no other memory of the murderer."
Yuyin pondered, "This means the victim didn't know the murderer, didn't see any obvious signs of murder, and didn't have any items related to the murderer on his body. Only in this way can we not retrieve any memory of the murderer."
Having worked under Mr. Anwu for so many years, she had some understanding of his abilities.
Ango Sakaguchi felt as if he had returned to the past, when they, as superiors and subordinates, worked together as a team. He had to say that he missed that period a little. Although Tsujimura had now been fully nurtured and grown up, Saionji was relatively more capable at work and made him less worried (of course, when she was willing to follow orders and complete the tasks).
"Now that the wanted mutant is dead, the rest is the police's job."
Sakaguchi Ango said rather coldly that he had spent most of the day on the mission to capture Maruyama Shoichi and postponed a lot of other work. If he had not suddenly discovered the secret that Saionji was still alive, he would have retreated with the main force to deal with subsequent matters.
After all, every minute and every second of a corporate life is extremely precious.
"Who was that deceased? What kind of psychic was he? Why was he wanted?" Although Yuyin already knew a lot of things thanks to the intelligence shared by the director, she couldn't let Mr. Anwu find out that she already knew it, so she had to ask again.
But as soon as she asked the question, she suddenly remembered her current awkward position and it was obviously not appropriate for her to ask these questions, especially since Mr. Anwu did not know the mystery of her resurrection. Her position and identity became unclear.
"If it involves the secrets of the Special Ability Department and it's inconvenient to talk about it, you don't have to say it."
Unlike the head, seniors and brothers, the original world of people with special abilities is a world of human struggle, without reincarnation and ghosts and gods. All the seemingly unreasonable existence of special abilities can be explained by science in the end. So as for the fact that she is still alive, the head and others suspect that she has been reincarnated, while Mr. Ango, thinking from the perspective of a person with special abilities, can only conclude that she is not dead or that her special abilities have been resurrected.
Sakaguchi Ango sighed. "The man's dead, there's nothing to keep secret." He then turned to Yuyin and asked, "Have you heard about the 3 billion yen bank vault robbery that happened in Yokohama not long ago?"
Yuyin nodded honestly: "I've heard of it."
When she was listening to the morning news, she sighed and wondered if the current bank robbers were influenced by inflation or something. At the end of April, a bank robbery with a crime amount of 1 billion yen occurred in Tokyo, and in the blink of an eye, it was June and a vault robbery with a crime amount of 3 billion yen occurred in Yokohama, and the amount had doubled.
Mr. Anwu suddenly brought up this robbery. Could it be that this case is related to a person with superpowers?
As expected, Sakaguchi Ango said: "The deceased just now, the psychic Maruyama Shoichi whom we are pursuing, was one of the robbers in the 3 billion yen vault robbery.
Maruyama Shoichi's original method of committing crimes was relatively covert. He relied on his special ability to transform into someone else, becoming a bank employee. He spent a long time lurking inside the bank to gather intelligence, and often stole money from the vault when others were not paying attention.
"Isn't this the method used in the 1 billion yen robbery? I remember that the staff and the robbers worked together in that case..." Yuyin recalled the content of the news report.
Sakaguchi Ango pushed up his glasses. "Perhaps Maruyama Shoichi was inspired by that case. Coupled with the unique nature of his abilities, he could transform into a highly authorized bank employee without arousing suspicion, entering and exiting the vault as if he were in a deserted place."
"That's not right. The news report said it was a bank robbery, but Mr. Ango, you said here that he disguised himself as someone else and stole secretly. The two methods are different. Could they be two cases?" Yuyin asked suspiciously.
Sakaguchi Ango shook his head in denial. "No, it's just one case. Maruyama Shoichi was supposed to be the gang's vanguard, sneaking into the bank to gather information, but he took the opportunity to steal a lot himself. Later, when the gang robbed the bank, they counted the stolen money and thought it was 3 billion yen. However, one of the robbers who was caught said they only stole 1.5 billion yen, 500 million yen each for the three of them, and they had no idea the other 1.5 billion existed. It wasn't until Maruyama Shoichi's identity was exposed that we discovered he had already smuggled 1.5 billion yen away and received another 500 million yen from the other two, meaning he had a total of 2 billion yen in his possession."
It's really greedy. He has already monopolized 1.5 billion and took 500 million from the gang. Yuyin couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this.
"Now where are the 2 billion yen?"
"We're investigating. We can be sure that no large quantities of these items have been released into the market," Sakaguchi Ango pondered. "But that's not something we need to worry about. Maruyama Shoichi, the one with the most dangerous superpowers, is dead. As long as we catch the last member of the gang with superpowers, this matter will have nothing to do with our Special Branch. Tracking down the stolen money is the police's responsibility."
Yuyin raised an eyebrow: "The last gang member is also a mutant?"
She finally understood why a vault robbery would require the Special Ability Agent Division to travel all the way to Tokyo and even cooperate with Scepter 4. It turned out that there were only two fish in the frying pan.
"Yes, the last member is called..."
Sakaguchi Ango had just started talking when he heard the door slam open.
Yuyin and he both looked towards the door involuntarily, and saw Atobe Keigo standing at the door, slightly panting.
Seeing Sakaguchi Ango inside, Atobe Keigo looked at Tamane with concern, but he finally felt relieved when he saw that she looked calm and normal. He heard from the police officers chatting nearby that the so-called Yokohama police officer, the one Tamane was hiding from, was heading towards this room, so he hurried over with concern.
Atobe walked closer to her and, using the same tone they used when pretending to be a couple, asked her, "Are you feeling better?"
When he stood beside Yuyin, he positioned himself directly between her and Sakaguchi Ango, put his arm around her shoulders, turned around and raised his eyebrows at Sakaguchi Ango and said, "I heard from those police officers that you are a police officer in the Yokohama area? Since it's not your jurisdiction, you should stay out of it. I told you police officers to come to me if you want to take the statement, and don't disturb my girlfriend."
Sakaguchi Ango put on a playful expression and looked at Yuyin as if he had seen a long-standing iron tree bloom: "Your boyfriend?"
Yuyin couldn't help but cover her face with shame. She secretly pulled Atobe Keigo's sleeve and whispered, "Atobe, Keigo, stop talking. Now... Hey, there's no need to act anymore."
All the vests have fallen off. There is no need for them.
Atobe was so smart that he immediately realized that Yuyin must have had a conversation with the old friend she had been avoiding before, so the scene where he pretended to be a boyfriend and acted arrogantly in order to serve as a shield became very embarrassing.
Especially when he looked closely at the young police officer with a mole on the corner of his mouth and Tamane's familiar tone (Atobe's OS: What's so great about a mole, his teardrop mole is more gorgeous!), the relationship between the two should not be the hostility he had previously guessed. Atobe became more alert again. After Deba Shizuji and Munakata Reiji, another person was added.
Just as Atobe Keigo was quickly thinking about how to quietly assert his sovereignty and strike down a potential competitor, Sonoko's annoyingly loud voice rang out from the doorway: "Tamaon, Tamon, are you feeling better? The police officer said we can move freely now that the statement has been taken. I think we should... uh!"
There was a thud or something sound.
"Sonoko! Sonoko, what's wrong with you?"
Tamane didn't care about Keigo Atobe and Ango Sakaguchi in the room, and ran out to check the situation. She saw Sonoko sitting in the corridor with her head down, her posture a little strange, and Conan was holding her hand beside her.
When Conan saw her, he laughed guiltily and said, "Sister Sonoko must be tired. I'll help you call a doctor!" Then he ran out.
Before he ran a few steps, Yuanzi, who was sitting against the wall, suddenly said, "No, Conan, I'm not tired. I just suddenly figured out the truth of this case."
"Wow, really?" Conan shouted with his hands open in a very exaggerated manner.
Sonoko: "Yes, Conan, please call all the police officers and let me tell you the whole story of the case."
"No problem!" Conan ran into the crime scene and called Officer Megure, Officer Takagi and others.
Yuyingan felt it was outrageous watching Conan running in and out.
As soon as she calmed down, she could easily tell from her breath that Sonoko... was asleep.
Question: How does a sleeping person talk?
Answer: Someone must be playing tricks.
As for who is the one playing tricks, the answer is obvious.
Sakaguchi Ango followed to the door and witnessed Conan's behavior. For the sake of confidentiality, he leaned close to Yuyin's ear and whispered to her: "He must be the long-lost high school detective Kudo Shinichi."
Yuyin was stunned. She had guessed Conan's identity a long time ago. After all, the appearance of the soul cannot deceive people. But she didn't expect that Conan's mask was completely exposed in front of Mr. Ango. He was worthy of being a man with the [Theory of Degeneration] that made others unable to hide in front of him and had no secrets.
Before she could reply, she suddenly felt a gentle pulling force on her arm. When she fell over with this force, she saw Keigo Atobe standing there with a sour face.
"Mr. Police Officer, this is too offensive. Even if he is not on duty, he should maintain proper social distance from underage girls."
It took Yuyin half a second to realize that the police officer was referring to Mr. Ango, and another half a second to realize that the underage girl was talking about herself. After all, she had become an adult at least four times.
But why is Atobe so angry? Are he and Ango-san really that incompatible?
While she was thinking about it, Conan had already called all the people over there, and everything was ready to deduce the truth about Maruyama Shoichi's death.

The author has something to say: Ah, actually this chapter should be called "Exposure Progress 4/4"
The next chapter is already down, but there is no reasoning content in the whole chapter [covering face]
I probably won't go into detail about the methods used in this case. The next chapter will be a new plot, so stay tuned~
It’s already 2022, and I wish all the readers of this article a happy New Year ^_^/~
