Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World
Chapter 406: Card Code: The Battle for Business Secrets in the Blind Spot of Surveillance
Amuro Toru crossed his arms, nodded slightly, and his eyes flashed with admiration: "As expected of Kuroba Kaito, you know so much about these magic props. It seems that Mr. Rushan, you still need to explain why you use marked playing cards to perform magic."
Liu Shanyou stammered and argued: "I... I just did it for the magic show effect. What does this have to do with the missing file bag? Don't make random guesses!"
Conan tilted his head, his eyes sparkling, with an innocent smile on his face: "Mr. Ryuyama, I felt something was strange from the moment you started performing magic. You were so active, showing your cards and shouting slogans, attracting everyone's attention!"
He walked up to Rushan Yuu, raised his head, stared at him without blinking, and continued in a baby voice: "While you were performing magic, you were also flirting with Sakurai and Ueno. I saw it all! At that time, I was wondering, what on earth were you doing?"
Conan smacked his lips, a mischievous expression on his face: "Later, sister Asano Chinatsu went to the bathroom, and Mr. Iwasaki started to spit coffee and knock over cups. Oh, the scene was a mess!"
He put his hands on his hips and said seriously, "Now that I think about it, how could it be such a coincidence? You must have agreed on this in advance! The four of you put on a big show together just to steal someone's briefcase, right?"
Ruoshan You's lips trembled, trying to find a loophole to refute, but facing Conan's clear reasoning, he really couldn't resist.
"You... you little brat, what do you know? Don't speculate here. I'm warning you..."
Kudo Yuki pretended to be puzzled, "Why are they the Ace of Spades, King of Clubs, and Jack of Diamonds? Is there any special meaning?"
Various clues flashed quickly through Toru Amuro's mind. He chuckled softly, with his hands in his trouser pockets. His leisurely look was out of place with the tense atmosphere.
"Xiaoxue, I think I know why these three cards are chosen."
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Let's look back at the surveillance footage. When Iwasaki Kosuke 'accidentally' sprayed coffee, Mr. Ryuyama seemed to have stopped shuffling the cards in a panic. In fact, he took advantage of everyone's distraction and quickly reached out to the edge of the table - that direction is the shortest route to the blind spot of the surveillance."
Toru Amuro raised his finger and pointed at the frozen picture on the screen, his fingertips precisely landing on the position of Ruoshan Yu's hand movements, as if he wanted to recreate the scene at that time through the screen.
"This was a perfect opportunity to commit the crime. Iwasaki Kosuke's 'accident' created chaos, and Mr. Ryuyama took the opportunity to move the file bag along the edge of the table, using an extremely concealed push and slide it to a blind spot.
He deliberately sped up the pace of the magic show to draw everyone's attention back to his hands, and at the same time cleverly used the sound of flipping cards to cover up the subtle sound of the moving file bag.
Amuro Toru retracted his hand, put his hands in his pockets again, paced in front of everyone, and analyzed logically and carefully: "He calculated all of this just right. It must be said that this is a carefully planned theft plan.
Sakurai Rina and Ueno Chiya, who seemed to be just spectators of the magic show, actually acted as the "eyes" of Rushan Yu. When Asano Chinatsu left her seat to go to the bathroom, they used their eyes to signal Rushan Yu that the best time to commit the crime had arrived. "
At this point, Amuro narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the subtle interactions between the people in the surveillance video in his mind, "Their eye contact seems natural, but it contains mysteries. Every time they look at each other, they may be confirming the progress of the plan.
As for Iwasaki Kosuke, he seemed unlucky to spit coffee and stain his clothes, but he was an indispensable part of this scene. He observed Asano Chinatsu's habits in advance, calculated the time when she went to the bathroom, and then created chaos at the critical moment to cooperate with Rushan Yu to complete the theft. "
Amuro Toru looked at everyone with a stern gaze, "Now, we just need to find more connections between them, and we can expose this theft plan to the sun."
Kudo Yuki raised her eyebrows slightly, pretending to understand something, and explained, "So that's how it is. In the suit and number system of playing cards, the Ace of Spades, the King of Clubs, and the Jack of Diamonds all have special meanings.
From the perspective of traditional poker culture, the Ace of Spades is often seen as a symbol of supreme power, meaning the goal has appeared. The King of Clubs is also known as the King of Clubs, which symbolizes bravery and wisdom, and represents the relevant personnel are in place.
As for the Jack of Diamonds, its English name is 'Jack of Diamonds', which means wealth and suggests that it is time to start taking action. "
She paused for a moment and said, "Ms. Asano Chinatsu lost a document bag containing important business documents. Once these business documents are leaked, certain people will be able to gain huge benefits from them.
It seems that these three cards are most likely the code words they agreed upon in advance, corresponding to the goals of this theft operation - gaining power through business secrets, using wisdom, and obtaining wealth. "
Zhu Fu Jingguang stared at Liu Shanyou, and his originally peaceful eyes now had a bit of scrutiny: "Mr. Liu Shan, the Ace of Spades, the King of Clubs, and the Jack of Diamonds, this is not an ordinary poker combination."
He paused slightly, as if giving Liu Shanyou time to react, but he only saw the other person's face grow paler.
"If you use your brain a little, you can find that the sum of the points on these three cards is 1+13+11=25."
Zhu Fujingguang sneered, and there was no warmth in that smile. "And today is April 4th - Mr. Liushan, do you really think this is a coincidence?"
Liu Shanyou's body trembled slightly, his eyes dodged, but he still pretended to be calm: "What does this mean?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang seemed to have anticipated his reaction, "This is the date you agreed to take action, so you chose these three cards as a code word.
Mr. Iwasaki sprayed coffee, you used magic to attract everyone's attention, and the two ladies were responsible for keeping watch. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to the established time of April 4th. Am I right?"
Liu Shanyou's face turned as pale as paper in an instant, but he still didn't relax his mouth. He stiffened his neck and shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't slander me. You can't convict me based on these far-fetched speculations!"
Inspector Megure was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and snorted heavily: "They are still stubborn until now! Takagi, interrogate the four of them separately, I don't believe that we can't pry their mouths open!"
"Yes, Officer Megure!" Officer Takagi straightened his back and took the police officers beside him to different corners.
Kaito Kid suddenly said, "Wait a minute, officer. There is another key piece of evidence that will leave them speechless."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Kaito Kidd, full of curiosity and anticipation.
Kaito Kid walked slowly to Rushan Yuu and looked down at him: "Mr. Rushan, do you think it's foolproof if you throw the file bag into the blind spot of the camera? Unfortunately, you overlooked one point."
There was a flash of panic in Liushanyou's eyes, but he still pretended to be calm: "You...what are you talking about? I don't understand at all!"
Kaito Kid curled the corners of his mouth slightly, squatted down, fumbled around Ryuyama Yu's feet for a while, stood up, holding a small launcher in his hand.
"This is the key prop for you to move the file bag." He held up the launcher and showed it to everyone. "This launcher is connected to the special file bag. You can use the magic trick as a cover to launch the file bag to a blind spot, and then find an opportunity to take it away. Am I right?"
Liu Shanyou could no longer utter a word of rebuttal.
Officer Megure was full of confusion. He approached Kaito Kid and looked at the transmitter carefully. He couldn't help but ask, "How can this thing prove that he is a thief?"
Kaito Kidd's lips curled slightly, and he patiently explained: "Officer Megure, you see there is a miniature camera on this transmitter, which can take pictures of the surroundings at the moment of launching the document bag. As long as you check the records inside, you can clearly see the whole process of Mr. Ryuyama committing the crime."
He operated the transmitter and called up the images inside.
In the picture, while everyone was attracted by the chaotic scene of Iwasaki Kosuke spraying coffee, Ruoyama Yu quickly reached out for the file bag and connected it to the transmitter. Then he used the shuffling action as a cover. Sakurai Rina and Ueno Chiaya helped to pass the documents. Ruoyama Yu pressed the launch button, and the file bag flew accurately to the blind spot of the camera.
The whole process is extremely clear and the evidence is irrefutable.
"You have nothing to say now, right?" Inspector Megure opened his eyes wide and glared at Rushan Yu, shouting loudly.
Liu Shanyou's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, holding his head in his hands, and shouted in despair: "I admit that I stole the file bag!"
Sakurai Rina and Ueno Chiaya were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were both crying.
"We...we were just following Mr. Liushan's instructions and helping to attract everyone's attention. We didn't expect it to be a theft!"
"We really didn't know the matter was so serious. We were just helping to pass a document. Mr. Liushan lied to us!"
Iwasaki Kosuke squatted on the ground in annoyance, pulling his hair with both hands, muttering: "It's all my fault. I was bewildered for a moment and was persuaded by Rushan Yuu. I thought I could get some benefits, but in the end..."
Kudo Yuki walked forward, with disappointment in her eyes, and asked Rushan You: "Why did you steal these business documents?"
Rushan Yu's psychological defenses completely collapsed, his shoulders slumped, and his voice lost its confidence: "I was originally a very miserable magician, and my life was very tight. By chance, I heard that Asano Chinatsu would come to this cafe with important documents, and I immediately had evil thoughts."
He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his face, his hand still shaking slightly. "I asked Sakurai Rina and Ueno Chiya for help. We came to this cafe several days in advance to check out the environment. We also found that there were blind spots for the cameras."
He gestured as he spoke, his voice getting lower and lower, "As soon as Asano Chinatsu entered the store, I started performing magic to attract her attention. The incident of Iwasaki Kosuke spraying coffee was also planned in advance by us.
At that time, the scene was chaotic, and Asano Chinatsu's attention was drawn to that. Sakurai Rina and Ueno Chiya took the opportunity to secretly take the file bag. Iwasaki Kosuke and I also agreed that after selling the files, the money we got would be divided equally between us. I was really obsessed and made such a mistake..."
Officer Megure looked furious, glaring down at Rushan Yuu and loudly demanded, "Where did you hide the stolen document bag? Tell me now! That document is very important to Ms. Asano. If anything goes wrong, can you afford it?"
Liu Shanyou lowered his head, his hands hanging limply at his sides: "I... I hid it under the trash can in the back kitchen of the coffee shop. I thought I would wait until the storm was over and then take it away secretly, but I didn't expect..."
Officer Megure immediately turned around and ordered Officer Takagi, "Takagi, take two officers to look for the document bag under the trash can in the back kitchen."
"Yes." Officer Takagi's expression changed, and he ran towards the kitchen with two police officers.
Conan walked up to Rushan Yu with his short legs, looked up, and showed a maturity that was not in line with his age: "Mr. Rushan, I find it very strange. Just for that little money, are you really willing to take such a big risk and design such a complicated plan to steal files? This is not something that ordinary people can do easily. There must be other reasons behind it, right?"
Liu Shanyou's body shook violently, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head, covered his face with his hands, and said with regret: "Little friend, I really just did this for the money. I was confused for a moment, so there is no other reason."
Conan was not giving up. He put his hands on his hips and tilted his head slightly to one side. His eyes behind the glasses flashed with sharp light: "Mr. Ryuyama, from the fact that you arranged such a complicated theft plan, it can be seen that there must be someone behind this. You said you are a down-and-out magician, so how do you have such advanced theft tools?"
Conan pointed at the launcher in Kaito Kid's hand.
Amuro Toru put his apron on the chair and walked forward with a faint smile on his face: "Mr. Ryuyama, since we were able to catch you, it means we have enough evidence. If you confess now, you can still get a lighter sentence."
Rushan Yu's hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of his clothes, and he was struggling fiercely in his heart. He finally raised his head and said, "Okay, let me tell you. It was... it was Morishima Hayato who worked in the same company as Ms. Asano who found me. He said that if I helped him steal Chinatsu Asano's file bag, he would give me a large sum of money and help me solve all the problems. I was really desperate at the time, so I agreed to him."
Officer Megure's face flushed with anger, and he shouted angrily: "This Morishima Hayato is so audacious! Chiba, immediately send someone to investigate Morishima Hayato's whereabouts and bring him back to me!"
Officer Chiba looked solemn, saluted, and left the cafe with several police officers to carry out their mission.
To be continued...
