Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Hmm, there are other experts?

Qi Ming looked at the woman with a puzzled expression.

The latter was dressed in a bank employee uniform and was none other than the bank teller who had warned him about the robber just before leaving.

As expected, doing good deeds brings good fortune; the girl even went out of her way to send him some gold water.

Qi Ming waved at the woman and smiled:

"I just said goodbye, I didn't expect it would really be goodbye so soon?"

"Uh-huh."

The woman responded with some delight when Qi Ming greeted her.

"..."

Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi exchanged a glance, both feeling that the current situation of the case was somewhat strange.

"Excuse me, ma'am, what's your name?"

"Officer, you can just call me Aikawa."

Megure nodded, then asked Aikawa.

"Ms. Aikawa, could you tell us more details? Judging from your appearance, you must have been robbed at the bank, right?"

Aikawa nodded.

"That's right, officer, let me tell you, this is what happened."

Later, Aikawa finished explaining the whole story of the case to Inspector Megure.

After hearing everything, Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi, as well as Kyosuke Kazato who was already handcuffed, were all dumbfounded.

How dare Aikawa say that this robber who had a gunfight in the bank and killed many people was a good person?

Inspector Megure stroked his mustache.

So, according to Sōgawa's statement, the hostages inside had already escaped, right?

Why don't they just launch a full-scale attack now?

However, after glancing at the teller being held hostage by the robbers who were being held by Qi Ming, Inspector Megure abandoned his plan to launch a full-scale attack.

"Although they were robbers too, they saved us, so they were good robbers!"

Aikawa was still excitedly raising his fists when he came to his senses and sighed helplessly.

Waiting for Aikawa to say a few more words to defend Qi Ming, Inspector Megure, unable to bear her outrageous remarks any longer, immediately spoke up:

"...Madam, I think you need to understand one thing first: they came to rob a bank, and according to you, they also killed some innocent bystanders."

Takagi Wataru nodded repeatedly, blurting out without thinking:

"Yeah, these coat-wearing robbers only killed one person. That person was clearly much worse!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, all the police officers turned their gazes to Takagi Wataru.

This police officer's thinking is a bit strange.

"Ahem! Takagi, watch your words."

Inspector Megure glared at Wataru Takagi and said in a slightly serious tone.

"Hug, sorry."

Takagi Wataru blushed and lowered his head slightly.

What on earth was he saying?!

However, Aikawa did not change his mind because of Inspector Megure's words.

On the contrary, she stated righteously:

"How can you say that? If those people didn't move, they wouldn't have died. It's like crossing the street when cars are speeding by, but they still insist on crossing!"

"They committed suicide!"

"..."

Inspector Megure really felt that the woman in front of him seemed to be a little slow on the uptake.

Although Inspector Megure also had a feeling that what this person said, though rough, was actually quite reasonable.

The officers whispered among themselves.

Are bank employees really this friendly these days? Even mentally ill people get hired?

"I don't know. I feel like I need to go home and ask my little cousin after I finish my tasks today."

Inspector Megure sighed deeply.

This older comrade actually knew pretty much what was going on with this woman.

From a psychological perspective, this seems to be called...

He forgot.

However, at that very moment, Kyosuke Kazato provided the answer.

Cognitive dissonance.

"Oh right, that's exactly how it's said!"

Upon hearing Kyosuke Kazato's words, Inspector Megure's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands.

Takagi Wataru, still lacking experience, looked at Kazato Kyosuke with some confusion and asked:

"What does it mean?"

Kyosuke Kazato glanced at Wataru Takagi and, quite considerately, offered an explanation.

“After experiencing fear, they need to rationalize their current situation psychologically.”

"The actions of this second group of robbers eliminated the threat to them, and they may have alleviated their inner conflict and anxiety by adjusting their perception and creating the illusion that this group had come to rescue them."

Since his fate is already sealed, Kyosuke Kazato can only try his best to behave well now in order to have a chance to get a reduced sentence.

Kyosuke Kazato glanced at Qi Ming out of the corner of his eye, his eyes filled with resentment.

The person who ruined me must not be allowed to get away with this!

Kyosuke Kazato took a deep breath and said to Juzo Megure:

“Inspector Megure, there’s something I need to remind you of. The other party is very likely also an expert in psychology, and highly skilled at it. This woman, no, she may have already hypnotized everyone in the bank at the time using some method.”

"I'll say it again: kill them on the spot, no matter the cost."

Inspector Megure frowned, glanced at Kyosuke Kazato, and then shook his head.

"Impossible, they still have a hostage, we must ensure the safety of the hostage."

Meanwhile, Aikawa seemed furious at what Kazato Kyosuke had just said.

You're a murderer, yet you're slandering her by saying she has mental problems?!

"Shut up! You're the pervert who's the psychologist!"

"Those guys in overcoats came in and killed my colleague; they're the real villains!"

"..."

Ignoring Aikawa, Kazato Kyosuke said to Inspector Megure:

"...Inspector Megure, if I can help this woman correct her psychological distortions, could you apply for a reduced sentence for me?"

"Um, I think so."

……

Qi Ming watched the conversation of the crowd below with great interest from inside the bank.

What kind of scene is this now?

He, the robber, was holding two hostages, and Inspector Megure and the others now knew what he had done in the bank.

So what do they mean by this?

Completely ignoring his own ruthless bandit identity, he started chatting amongst himself down there.

Qi Ming temporarily put away his gun, and then he slapped the robber.

"Cuck!"

The latter immediately let out a strange cry of pain, turned around and stared at Qi Ming with a confused yet resentful look.

Qi Ming frowned slightly.

So this isn't a time stop, is it?

"Master Ma, the backpack is already full, there's no room left!"

Tuborg's voice came from the passage behind him, and Qi Ming raised his voice and shouted back.

"Okay, you should know what to do next, right?"

"I know, blow a hole in the bank, then go to the escape car!"

It was at this moment that they heard Qi Ming's voice, and Inspector Megure and the others finally stopped talking.

"Arthur, who were you just talking to...?"

boom!

Just as Inspector Megure finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from inside the bank.

"Master Ma, everything is fine now."

"Ok."

Qi Ming responded to Tu Bao, then smiled at the police officers who were tense and aiming their guns at him again:

"Alright, we've finished taking care of things here, so we'll send them to you now."

Qi Ming lifted the robber, who was holding the teller's hands, with one hand and threw him upwards through the hole.

"Nani?"

To the officers' astonishment, the two men were tossed into the air by Qi Ming to a height of 7 or 8 meters!

That robber in the overcoat looked to be at least 180cm tall, right?

That teller looked quite thin, but she must have weighed close to 120 pounds, right?

How can you throw a 300-pound object this high?

air.

At this moment, both the robber and the teller reached a consensus.

The two embraced each other in mid-air and shouted loudly.

"Help!"
