Despite thinking this, the manager still approached Kato Megumi with a friendly expression and apologized.

"Excuse me, miss, what kind of service do you need?"

Kato Megumi nodded and took the check out of her pocket:

"I want to verify the check and cash it."

Cheque?

The manager noticed the design of Kato Megumi's check. Their bank issues different check designs to customers of each tier, and the one she had was a custom-made one that could only be obtained with a considerable amount of reserves.

This guy is a big shot!

The man's attitude became more humble.

"Excuse me, miss, please follow me to the VIP lane, and we will process your request immediately."

At that moment, Conan, who was idly lounging in the hall, also spotted Kato Megumi and sighed:

"Huh? That woman looks like a high school student, why does she have so much money?"

However, this only slightly caught his attention; it was Hirota Masami's strange behavior that surprised him.

That Masami Hirota should be very kind normally.

Thinking this, he slowly strolled out of the bank.

……

at the same time.

Outside the main gate on one side of the bank, a fully armed armored truck was parked.

Several men dressed as bank employees were handing over the goods to the armed police escorting them.

Armed police officers patrolled left and right with guns, allowing employees to move banknotes at will.

This was nothing serious, but after the staff entered the carriage, he slowly turned around, took out a pistol loaded with a silencer from his pocket, a sinister smile appeared on his lips, and pulled the trigger.

boom--

A low gunshot rang out, and the armed policeman fell into a pool of blood.

"You, what are you doing!"

The two armed police officers traveling with him changed their expressions, disengaged their submachine guns, and turned to point them at the staff inside the carriage.

The employee remained calm and said, "Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

As soon as he finished speaking, another member of the armed police turned his gun on his comrade and shot him dead.

After doing all that, they put on hoods, confiscated the armed police's weapons, and another female criminal wearing black stockings walked from the front of the car. Two figures lay on either side of the car; they were the driver of the armored truck.

Hirota Masami glanced at the fallen armed police officer and said angrily, "What are you doing? Why are you killing people?"

The robber sneered, "Hahaha, lady, don't be ridiculous. We've already robbed a bank, what are you still doing with your kindness?"

Masami Hirota simply said, "The person is dead, so there's nothing we can do." She urged, "Hurry up and do it, we don't have much time."

The three of them were carrying boxes of banknotes, but they didn't see a girl with short blonde hair, wearing a distinctive red and gray uniform, walking by across the street.

She was looking down at her phone, sipping her drink, when, just as the gun was about to fire, her ears twitched and her gaze fell on the armored truck on the other side.

"Wow, there are still such sophisticated robbers these days."

Despite her complaints, she darted out quickly, ignoring the angry shouts of oncoming vehicles, and with a quick push of her arm, leaped over the fence in the middle of the road, appearing at the scene of the crime ten seconds later.

"Um, could you please not do such a thing?"

The sudden appearance of the blonde girl startled the three robbers.

They immediately pointed their pistols at the blonde girl's forehead:

"Hmph, go to hell! If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for liking to join in the fun."

"Hey, that's just a child..."

boom--

bang bang bang-

The assailant showed no mercy, firing four shots in quick succession. Strangely, the girl only swayed slightly and tilted her head; the bullets merely ruffled a few strands of her hair before landing on the floor behind her.

"Hey, sir, that's dangerous."

The girl smiled with her hands behind her back, then pushed the weapon out of the thug's hand with an upward palm strike, followed by an elbow strike that sent the big man back several steps.

"Hey, who are you!" Hirota Masami was shocked. After weighing the pros and cons, she quickly retreated.

Seeing his companion subdued, another robber grabbed a police officer's submachine gun and started firing.

"I refuse to believe you can dodge this!"

Dadada, dadada—

The sound of machine gun fire caused the surrounding people to scream and flee.

The blonde girl turned around and darted into the back of the armored truck. The bullets struck the hard bulletproof glass with a clanging sound.

With her ammunition exhausted, the girl appeared on top of the armored truck, a specially made pistol clutched in her hand. She said coldly, "..."

"Chizuka, now that you're in jail, remember not to let me run into you next time you do something bad!"

bang bang bang-

Three blank rounds were fired, knocking the gun the robber was about to pull out again. He was hit in the chest and throat, the impact nearly knocking him unconscious.

Chizuka jumped out of the car and looked in the direction the last robber had fled. She frowned, then aimed her pistol at the robbers again, hoping to completely disable them before chasing after the rest.

But at this time...

"Conan—what are you doing here?"

Nearby, Conan, who was hiding behind the car, felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Oh no! The noise is too loud, we're going to be discovered."

Conan froze, and Chizuka also turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

The first thug, knocked to the ground, grasped at the last straw. Taking advantage of Chizuka's inattention, he rolled over, picked up the gun with one hand, and grabbed Conan's throat with the other.

"do not move!"

Only when the cold muzzle of the gun was pointed at Conan's forehead did the people around react.

"Conan!!" Ran exclaimed.

Chizuka also turned her gun on the assailant:

"do not move!"

The two spoke in unison, but the thug's smile became even more insane: "If you catch me, I'm finished. I don't want to eat peanuts, so... you know. I'll do anything to escape!"

He nudged Conan's forehead hard and tightened his grip on his hand: "I know the gun won't hit you, but are you confident you can stop me from shooting? There aren't any bullets in your gun, are there?"

Chizuka sighed, dropped the gun, raised her hands, and said, "Let him go, and I'll be your hostage!"

The criminal ignored all of that. He took Conan hostage and slowly retreated back into the bank. He pressed a button, and the rolling door closed.

Chizuka wanted to follow them in.

"Don't come any closer! I'll shoot if you move!"

Xiao Lan screamed again, standing rooted to the spot, her eyes filled with terror and fear.

Kogoro Mori grumbled, "I've told this brat so many times not to run around, not to run around, and look what happened!"

"Damn it, if this child dies, how am I supposed to explain this to Ms. Fumiyo?"

Xiaolan was completely at a loss: "Dad, what time is it? How can you still be saying such things? Think of something!"

"Yes, call the police! Call the police quickly, get the armed police here!"

In the chaos, the bank's roller shutter doors had already completely closed.

Chapter 247 The Weakness of the "Bystandiarism Heroine".

Bank lobby.

Just as Kato Megumi was about to enter the private room with the manager, her ears twitched. Her adventurer's enhanced senses seemed to detect the commotion nearby.

Not only that, she also detected a faint sound, like a gunshot, but it was definitely a gunshot.

what happened?

Kato Megumi stopped and looked at the doorway with some unease. Not long after, a robber with his head covered by black stockings took the boy in the suit who had been there earlier hostage and retreated into the bank.

The robber first scanned everyone in the hall with his gun, then pressed the button on the rolling door with the gun barrel.

After watching the doors close and seal shut, he pointed his gun at the crowd again and said, "Behave yourselves! If you don't obey, I'll kill you!"

Everyone raised their hands in unison.

The robber pointed his gun at a corner of the hall: "Don't move, squat down, squat down! Drop everything you have on the floor! Hurry up!"

As he spoke, he fired a shot at the surveillance camera in the lobby.
