"Minister, there's a major case!"
After returning from Moon Shadow Island, Xu Yue had taken a brief rest. But before he could enjoy a few quiet days, a call from the Metropolitan Police Department came directly to his phone.
A massive bank robbery had occurred in Tokyo, involving as much as 1 billion yen!
An armored truck transporting money from the main branch to various sub-branches had been hijacked!
"Eh~ That soon..."
After hanging up, Xu Yue was somewhat surprised. As expected, the timeline in Conan was a mess. This case itself had been something of a bug in the anime. In the early days, because it was defined as a children's anime, The Organization's presence had been downplayed. It was only when Haibara Ai was about to appear, over a hundred episodes in, that this plotline had been hastily added.
Well, it would be fine to make contact. He had slacked off for so long; it was time to fulfill his proper duties.
"Hello, Superintendent Hakuba? This robbery may involve a highly organized violent terrorist group. I'd like to request permission to intervene..."
A red convertible sped through the streets and arrived outside the robbed bank within ten minutes.
Thanks to the swift response, the police cars had only just arrived as well.
Soon afterward, Inspector Megure got out of his car at almost the same time as Xu Yue.
"Brother Sato? You just got here too?"
When Inspector Megure got out and saw Xu Yue in the convertible, then compared it to Sato Miwako's Mazda, he felt that something was off.
Were they really siblings? They seemed rather different.
"Yeah. I received word that there'd been a major bank robbery here, so I came to check out the scene."
