Seeing Miyano Akemi and her accomplices escape,

Kishi immediately shouted in the direction of the sound:

『Kishi』: Help! Someone's robbing the bank!

Given his tone, most people would assume he had been threatened earlier.

A white sedan sped past Conan.

『Kogoro Mouri』: What's with that car?

『Conan』: They're the robbers from the cash transport van!

『Kogoro Mouri』: What?!

Conan didn't bother explaining further and turned to Ran:

『Conan』: Ran-neechan, can you call the police? It looks like someone's injured, so make sure to ask for an ambulance too!

With that, Conan launched off on his skateboard.

Thanks to Professor Agasa's modifications, the board had powerful propulsion. Even against a regular car, Conan had a chance.

The chase began.

But to Conan's surprise, the car ahead was ridiculously fast.

Not only that, it drifted and overtook with expert precision.

Each turn left him further behind, and on the straights, he couldn't keep up.

The gap continued to widen.

As they approached a railroad crossing, a train happened to be passing.

Conan thought the car would stop,

But instead, the vehicle dashed across without hesitation.

『Conan』: Tch!

He didn't stop either and raced across the tracks.

Though he made it, he tumbled and crashed.

By the time he got back on his feet, the robbers' car had vanished.

With no other choice, Conan returned to the bank.

By then, law enforcement had arrived.

The ever-diligent Inspector Megure was already on scene.

『Inspector Megure』: The stolen amount is massive, ten billion yen!

Given Kogoro Mouri's recent string of successful case solves, Inspector Megure filled him in, clearly hoping he'd crack this one too.

Before he could even finish,

『Kogoro Mouri』: Ten billion yen?!

『Inspector Megure』: That's right. It was money meant to be distributed from headquarters to various banks. All of it was taken.

The investigation began.

The guards who had been knocked out were mostly unharmed.

The only one not knocked out, Kishi, cooperated with the police and gave his statement:

『Kishi』: After the transport van arrived, we began unloading the cash according to plan. Then suddenly...

But Conan noticed something odd in the report.

When he heard the commotion and came over, the robbers were already moving the money.

The timeline didn't add up.

『Conan』 (thinking): Something's off... I suspect the guards.

Meanwhile, Miyano Akemi had already hidden the ten billion yen and returned to the bank.

『Bank Manager』: Miss Akemi, this is a critical moment. Where were you?

『Miyano Akemi』 (bowing slightly): I'm sorry. I was on my lunch break. It was my shift change.

『Bank Manager』: Unbelievable...

Conan overheard the exchange and grew suspicious.

,

Later, the police found the getaway vehicle.

Inside were the cash boxes, gloves, and masks used in the heist.

But the ten billion yen was nowhere to be found.

Beyond that, the case had no further developments.

Even Conan hadn't solved it, yet.

Still, some subtle clues gave him something to work with.

And he felt this wasn't just a robbery.

,

That night,

Miyano Akemi looked at the two keys in her hands and smiled.

The mission was done.

Tomorrow, she would hand over the ten billion yen to the Organization.

Then, she and her sister could finally leave.

But she didn't trust them fully.

She had prepared two safes.

One held the full amount.

The other was empty.

This was her insurance.

If they didn't let her leave,

Then she wouldn't hand over the real money.

She picked up the phone and dialed.

『Miyano Akemi』: Hello?

『Gin』: The mission's done?

『Miyano Akemi』: Yes. I'll hand over the money tomorrow at 6 p.m. The location is...

『Miyano Akemi』: Bring my sister with you.

『Gin』: Alright.

She hung up.

Just thinking about leaving the Organization and being with her sister made her too excited to sleep.

Tomorrow morning, she planned to resign.

,

Inside a black vintage car,

The man in the passenger seat ended the call.

Dressed in a black trench coat and hat, silver hair tucked under, his face mostly hidden,

This was Gin.

At the wheel sat a large man in a similar outfit, Vodka.

Both were core members of the Black Organization.

『Vodka』: Big bro, what's up?

『Gin』: Miyano Akemi completed the mission.

『Vodka』: She did?! A twenty-something girl managed to steal ten billion yen?

『Gin』: Who knows.

『Vodka』: This complicates things... We gave her that mission just to get her killed.

『Vodka』: Didn't expect her to actually succeed.

『Gin』 (smirking): What do we do now? Simple. Take the money, then kill her.

『Vodka』: Of course, big bro. Should we start with the other two who know about this?

『Gin』: Naturally.

『Vodka』: On it.

He started the car.

,

Rain drizzled from the sky.

Kishi carried his uniform and quietly left the bank.

Having helped steal ten billion yen, he was still buzzing.

Suddenly, a black vintage car pulled up in front of him.

He looked toward the passenger side,

Only to be greeted by the barrel of a gun.

,

After killing Kishi, Gin and Vodka headed to the racer's residence.

They eliminated him too.

And left behind Miyano Akemi's lipstick on purpose, to frame her.

,

The next day,

After resigning, Miyano Akemi returned home.

When the time came, she headed out for the exchange.

,

The sun began to set.

It was almost time.

Before leaving, she couldn't help sending her sister a message.

『Miyano Akemi』 (text): Soon we'll finally be free.

,

After sending the message, she departed.

On the other side,

Miyano Shiho, resting at home, saw the message and was puzzled.

『Miyano Shiho』 (thinking): What's this? Did Onee-san send it by mistake?

Then suddenly,

『Miyano Shiho』 (thinking): No! Wait!

She remembered how her sister had acted strangely the day before.

Shiho had told her,

『Miyano Shiho』: Always tell me before you take on a mission.

Back then, her sister looked off. Shiho assumed it was because she'd mentioned her boyfriend.

But what if it wasn't?

And now this message,

『Miyano Shiho』 (realizing): She took a mission. Or... she's already carrying it out!

Frantic, Shiho dialed her sister's number.

No response.

She didn't try again.

Instead, she opened the group chat.
