Chapter 264: Seeing the Big Picture From the Small Details (22)
Sera Masumi hung up the phone after saying goodbye to Akikawa Kyusuke.
But what Akikawa Kongsuke said just now made her feel very concerned.
‘Something will happen in venue B? ’
‘And Mr. Akikawa also said that the gem might be stolen by Kaitou Kid. How is this possible? ! ’
Not to mention Conan, who possesses various gadgets, and Toru Amuro, who is a public security policeman and an undercover agent in the organization.
Even the policemen who searched Section 2 wouldn't be able to guard a gem placed in a small storage room, right?
Moreover, the gem was locked in a display case with a password.
How could Kaitou Kidd steal the gems under such tight security?
Sera Masumi felt that this might just be Akikawa Kongsuke's guess, so he stopped paying attention to these things.
However, just after she followed the police from the Search Section 2 into Arena D, she heard Officer Kurihara's intercom ringing in front of her.
Officer Kurihara answered the phone.
Immediately afterwards, a rapid and noisy voice sounded on her mobile phone:
"Officer Kurihara! Officer Nakamori who just came with us is Kaitou Kid disguised as Kaitou Kid! He is trying to steal the Heart of the Shadow!"
"Officer Kurihara! There was an explosion in the collection room of Scarlet Shadow Heart!! It was probably caused by Kaitou Kidd!"
"Officer Kurihara!! Kaitou Kid stole the Heart of the Shadow!!"
The content that came out from Officer Kurihara's intercom made the police officers present look in disbelief.
Because these things were so bizarre, everyone present couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of these things.
Even if the voice that just came out of the intercom was the voice of a colleague who works with them every day.
But they still couldn't accept that this was the truth for a while.
Police officers who were not on the scene discussed the veracity of the intelligence.
The announcement in the venue rang again.
"Emergency notice! There was a sudden explosion in venue B. Visitors in venue B are asked to evacuate in an orderly manner according to the instructions of the on-site staff and be careful of stampedes."
"Visitors in other venues at this time, please stop going to Venue B."
"We also ask all tourists to evacuate in an orderly manner and stay away from the collection rooms in various venues."
After hearing the content of the broadcast, a policeman who was searching Section 2 couldn’t help but said:
"Isn't this also a fake broadcast sent by Kaitou Kidd?"
"Didn't I just say in the broadcast that Kaitou Kidd is in Arena D? How could he run back to Arena B so quickly?"
"Could it be that just like Kaitou Kidd deceived us in Yuehua's collection room before, this time he wants to keep people away from Venue B, or even evacuate from the Tokyo International Exhibition Center."
"Or maybe he wants to lure us back to Hall B after we just arrived at Hall D?"
Just when Police Officer Kurihara asked Masumi Sera about the authenticity of the matter.
She saw the tomboy detective who had been following her with a shocked expression on his face, and then turned around and ran directly in the direction of Arena B.
The speed was so fast that the police officers who had undergone formal training were shocked.
Officer Kurihara reacted immediately.
"Why are you still standing there? Miss Sera's level of solving crimes is much higher than ours. Why don't you hurry up and catch up?"
Of course, while he ordered his policemen to follow Masumi Sera and run towards Arena B,
Officer Kurihara did not forget to leave two policemen behind and went to the collection room where the costumes were stored.
——
The other side.
Masumi Sera had already slipped through the door connecting Hall D and Hall C before it was closed.
After that, she ran towards Venue B against the surging crowd of people heading out.
If it were placed in the body of Masumi Sera more than ten minutes ago, and hearing the broadcast just now, she might also doubt the authenticity of the broadcast.
At this moment, she had no doubt that the important reason for that broadcast was the words Akikawa Sousuke said to her not long ago——
"Something might happen at the Scarlet Heart venue."
"Kid the Phantom Thief might steal Scarlet Shadow's Heart."
These two words, which De Shiliang Zhenchun could not believe not long ago, came true within ten minutes.
While running towards Hall B, Sera Masumi was still sorting out the existing information in his mind.
‘Akikawa expected all this after hearing what I said. ’
‘In other words, the available evidence is sufficient to infer what happened at this moment. ’
‘What am I missing? ! ’
‘What is it about this place that made Qiuchuan anticipate these things? ’
The more Sera Masumi thought about it, the more confused her mind became.
‘I remember that Akikawa just confirmed to me the identity of the person who put the Heart of Scarlet Shadow back into the safe. ’
‘The person who put the Heart of Shadow back into the safe was not Officer Nakamori or Mr. Tsukino, but a detective from the First Investigation Division. ’
‘But what does this have to do with what is happening in Arena B now? ! ’
Sera Masumi resisted the urge to pull her hair.
If only Akikawa Kousuke knew that detective.
But I didn’t even mention the name or appearance of that detective!
This situation, where it was obvious that she had missed some details, but she was unable to deduce the correct conclusion, made Sera Masumi feel very crazy.
At the same time,
she once again admired Akikawa Sosuke's ability to deduce the overall situation from a small phenomenon, and she also felt very yearning.
However, judging from the current situation.
The things involved behind this gem theft case are probably far more than just Kaito Kid and the Tsukino Group.
There is a deeper conspiracy behind this.
As for what the police officer from the Second Investigation Division just said, that it was Kaito Kid who caused this explosion, Sera Masumi didn't believe it at all.
After all, Conan and Nakamori Ginzo both made very accurate analyses of Kaito Kid's action standards.
Kaito Kid should not be someone who would intentionally do something that could easily affect people's lives.
Then the remaining possibility is that someone else installed a bomb in the collection room of Scarlet Shadow Heart in advance.
'Could it be Mr. Tsukino? It shouldn't be. This is an exhibition he opened! ’
‘What good would it do him to blow up his own exhibition? ! ’
‘Also, was the display cabinet with the password cracked so quickly by Kaito Kid and the gems taken away? ’
‘It’s obviously made of bulletproof glass and polycarbonate! Even if there is an explosion, it probably won’t be blown open, right? ! ’
With countless questions in her mind, Sera Masumi quickly ran towards Hall B.
