Last month, a Jewelry Store in Beika Town was attacked. The criminals brazenly blew open the vault door, looted the jewels, and fled.
The police were shocked by this rare method of robbery and launched a major manhunt. They eventually followed the clues and captured the ringleader, Yajima Bangnan. However, his other three accomplices were still at large.
Conan remembered the robbery vividly too. "Yajima Bangnan's accomplices are actually this loyal? That's rare... But I remember that Yajima Bangnan's public identity was that of a fairly well-known gem broker in the industry.
"In other words, the reason those two criminals wanted to get him out of prison was probably not to save their leader, but because without Yajima Bangnan, they had no way to fence the stolen gems. Or perhaps Yajima Bangnan hid the jewels somewhere, and the two accomplices didn't know where."
As he pondered, the bandit collecting phones had already reached them.
Conan looked up and saw that after Jiang Xia put his phone into his pocket, Irish casually took Jiang Xia's other phone and handed it to the robber.
Conan: "..."
He cursed the shameless outlaw in his heart, then took out Conan's own phone and obediently handed it over as the robber passed by.
Not far away, "Dr. Araide" watched the scene and secretly sighed in relief. She had been worried that, given Cool Guy's personality, he might try some trick while handing over his phone and provoke the two armed robbers, leading to unpleasant consequences... Fortunately, he did not.
At a critical moment, this Fake Elementary School Student seemed to know his limits.
Thinking that, she handed over her own phone with relief as well.
Beside her, Jodie glanced at the phone, her thoughts stirring.
However, she quickly thought of something else and sighed inwardly.
