Chapter 559 Waiting for the Truth
Chapter 559 Waiting for the Truth
“Ms. Miyano, you don’t seem surprised by his appearance.”
Yusaku Kudo looked at Ai Haibara and asked.
This girl sat down the moment the Red Oni Guard appeared.
Clearly, she was aware of the presence before her.
"Ok, I know."
Ai Haibara responded with a curt reply, offering no further explanation.
Seeing this, Kudo Yusaku could only assume that this person was experienced or had obtained the strategy for this event from Qi Ming.
[The bait has been activated. Hunters, please proceed with the hunt immediately.]
Upon hearing the sound, Qi Ming couldn't immediately figure out what the bait was.
However, he soon realized that the bait must refer to cherry sapphire.
Damn it, the owner just sneaked out for a short while, and a thief still broke into the house.
Qi Ming turned around and glanced at Ai Haibara and the others.
"Hurry up."
Without another word, Qi Ming increased his speed again, disappearing from the front of the Metropolitan Police Department in a blur.
Everyone came to their senses, but perhaps God was still floating in outer space.
Everything they are experiencing today is completely beyond their comprehension.
"Inspector Megure, the body... the body is missing."
"Ok?"
Hearing the trembling voice of his companion beside him, Inspector Megure numbly turned his head to look at the spot where the corpse had just been lying.
Apart from the pool of blood still visible where they were, all the people Qi Ming had just dealt with had now disappeared.
It can't be hidden anymore.
Ai Haibara sighed unconsciously.
In the past, when Qi Ming acted alone, even if he did something unbelievable, it could always be explained.
But now... they've seen all of this clearly.
"...Yusaku, can you explain to us what this is?"
As expected, Inspector Megure's hands trembled slightly as he looked at Yusaku Kudo and asked.
The man remained calm throughout, and Inspector Megure felt that he must know something.
He had already accepted the supernatural events that Qi Ming had experienced, and he could accept it even if Kudo Yusaku said that there were other mutants in the world.
"The guard who just appeared wearing the red demon mask, who was clearly dead, is now standing next to those two wanted criminals."
"And the missing body, and those two people in the hall—I really want to know the truth!"
Kudo Yusaku was taken aback. Looking at Inspector Megure's expression, he shook his head with a wry smile.
I made a mistake; I should have acted more surprised.
"...I'm sorry, Inspector Megure, I can't say."
Kudo Yusaku had just refused when Inspector Megure, somewhat agitated, placed his hands on Kudo Yusaku's shoulders.
"Yusaku, do you really know anything?"
"You've seen it too, haven't you? Can you stop hiding it from us? We're police officers, and these strange people have already caused trouble at the Metropolitan Police Department!"
"Tell us the answer, and we'll accept it, even if it's outrageous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Takagi Wataru, Sato Miwako, and the others also looked at Kudo Yusaku.
Their eyes also revealed a strong sense of pleading.
"Mr. Kudo, please tell us what exactly happened."
"Yeah, and Ai-chan too. How were you able to stay so calm during that dangerous situation?"
"..."
Ai Haibara stared at the sky, utterly dejected, without uttering a word.
On the other side, Yusaku Kudo was also speechless.
He was also someone who liked to be a riddle teller, but he knew it.
Now, he can no longer be the riddle teller.
Moreover, given future trends, the police will indeed need to know these things.
"...Once these things are over, I will tell you everything I know."
Kudo Yusaku looked at everyone and said with a serious expression.
"But for now, let's focus on the immediate matter and get the cherry sapphire safely into the vault as soon as possible."
"..."
Seeing that Yusaku Kudo had said so, Inspector Megure nodded solemnly as well.
"Okay, let's go."
……
Outside the bank vault.
"That's really strange. Why is there no one in the vault?"
"Hmm, but what I'm more curious about is why there are so many pools of blood on the ground outside."
"There might have been a battle here, but we were lucky that both of them died, which allowed us to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Two people dressed in strange clothes looked around at the corner, and when they saw no one, they cautiously came out.
These were two lone wolves, but now they're partners.
"What's going on with the bank vault door? It's been opened."
"No way? Someone's already gotten here first?"
The two lone wolves stared intently at the large hole in the safety door, and each pulled out their weapons.
There were several corpses on the ground, which looked like they had been dead for some time.
He was shot in the forehead; it should have been an instant kill.
Strangely, one of the corpses had been stripped naked.
I wonder if the person who stripped him had some kind of weird fetish...
呲呲呲——
There seemed to be a noise coming from the vault, like the sound of an electric drill.
But using a power drill to open a safe seems a bit outdated, doesn't it?
The two men cautiously moved forward, close to the wall, and exchanged a glance; they were about to lean out and fire.
"No need to hide anymore, I know you're outside."
However, at that moment, the sound coming from the vault made their hearts skip a beat.
"Although I destroyed most of the cameras here, you didn't check carefully enough. I still have cameras on those two corpses outside."
The drilling-like sound stopped, and footsteps sounded.
The two lone wolves outside the door frowned and each pulled out a grenade.
"If I were you, I wouldn't throw that grenade."
"..."
The sound came again, very close, probably almost at the hole.
Ignoring the words of the person inside, the lone wolf immediately threw a grenade into the hole.
Damn it, you're just playing the fool. Who do you think you are?
"I already said, if I were one of you, I wouldn't throw a grenade."
A crisp sound rang out, followed by a sigh.
And that crisp sound was not the sound of a grenade hitting the ground.
"Nani?!"
Lone Wolf's eyes widened. The hole in the vault door seemed to be blocked by a layer of transparent glass, and the two grenades they threw hit that transparent glass.
boom--
The ground shook, and the people in the vault put away the instruments attached to the upper part of the inner wall and crawled out through the hole.
Ignoring the two mutilated corpses on the ground, he looked at the cherry sapphire in his hand with satisfaction and nodded.
And this person's appearance was exactly the same as that of the intelligence agent who committed suicide in the bar.
It's just missing the glasses.
