Chapter 235 Disappeared (12)

"Brother Qiuqiuchuan, what a coincidence."

Conan showed an extremely stiff smile and greeted Akikawa Sosuke.

"Hello, Conan."

Akikawa Sosuke also simply greeted Conan, and then moved to a place far away from Conan and others and sat down.

Conan looked at Akikawa Sosuke who seemed to be deliberately trying to escape from him, and his heart was extremely embarrassed.

In order to prevent Conan, who was observant, from noticing Akikawa Sosuke's situation, Sera Masumi did not greet Akikawa Sosuke.

She just looked at Akikawa Sosuke, and then went straight to Nakamori Ginzo, and listened to the story of the guests on the scene.

"When was the last time you saw Mr. Tsukino?"

Nakamori Ginzo asked.

"It was about five o'clock yesterday afternoon. At that time, we finished rehearsing and were about to leave. Mr. Tsukino said that he had to check the anti-theft system in the venue."

The host Nakamura Haruna answered.

"Are you the only one who knows about this?"

Nakamori Ginzo asked again.

"No, Mr. Tsukino said it in front of everyone last night. Everyone present should have heard it."

After Nakamura Haruna finished speaking, she turned around and looked at the other guests at the scene.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"In that case, we should go to the separate collection room first."

Sera Masumi said on the side.

Nakamori Ginzo had no objection, so he sent two policemen to stay in the room, and then went to the separate collection room.

Sera Masumi and Conan followed him.

"For this exhibition, the Tsukino Foundation has set up a total of three separate collection rooms. Without exception, they are all rooms prepared separately for displaying high-value collections."

"But according to normal circumstances, it is most likely that Mr. Tsukino went to the collection room of Scarlet Shadow Heart."

"After all, everyone knows that Kaito Kidd is stealing gems most of the time."

Sera Masumi said softly.

Nakamori Ginzo and Conan both agreed with Sera Masumi's analysis, but both of them had a little puzzled expression on their faces.

Several people went straight through the retractable isolation belt used to isolate the queue outside the collection room of Scarlet Shadow Heart.

Then Nakamori Ginzo took out the key card and swiped the door of the collection room.

As soon as the few people pushed the door in, they saw a man lying on the ground.

The man's hands and feet were tied with ropes.

At the same time, a towel was stuffed in his mouth.

Nakamori Ginzo and others hurried over, untied the ropes that bound the man's hands and feet, and took away the towel stuffed in the man's mouth.

After doing all this, everyone confirmed that he was Takashi Tsukino who had not come to the gathering for a long time.

At this moment, Takashi Tsukino had fallen into a coma, and even after he was untied, he did not react at all.

Sera Masumi hurriedly reached out to touch Takashi Tsukino's neck and confirmed that there was an obvious pulse beating in his neck, so he judged that there was no need to check the pupil.

So Masumi Sera put her hand under Takashi Tsukino's nose, and after confirming that Takashi Tsukino was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"The pulse is normal, but the breathing is a little slow. He should have just fainted temporarily."

"There is no need to use AED."

After hearing this, Ginzo Nakamori and others were relieved.

Immediately, a policeman ran to find medical staff.

While Masumi Sera was still confirming Takashi Tsukino's condition and trying to find out the reason for his coma from him, he suddenly heard a voice:

"The gem is gone."

Masumi Sera and others looked back.

They saw a policeman with his eyes wide open, pointing his finger at the transparent display cabinet in the room.

They realized that the display cabinet with [Heart of Scarlet Shadow] and its introduction was empty.

The ruby ​​that was unveiled at the press conference three days ago had disappeared.

At this time, a security guard also ran over in a hurry.

After seeing Takashi Tsukino fainted on the ground and the missing Scarlet Heart, he immediately let out a terrified cry.

"How is this possible?!"

"Didn't you come to check the gems once from last night to today?!"

Nakamori Ginzo suppressed the anger that surged in his chest and asked the security guard loudly.

He felt that this time it was simply too outrageous.

Even if the gems were stolen, it is impossible that no one found it from last night to this morning!

The gems were lost before the exhibition even started.

Nakamori Ginzo suddenly felt that the bold words he and Takashi Tsukino said before the exhibition started were all bullshit.

"Wait, Officer Nakamori, something feels wrong."

At this time, Sera Masumi said to the angry Nakamori Ginzo.

"According to Ms. Nakamura's description just now, Mr. Tsukino should have come to the collection room last night to check on the Scarlet Shadow Heart."

"It stands to reason that no security guard saw Mr. Tsukino enter the Scarlet Shadow Heart collection room."

"If someone saw it, Mr. Tsukino would definitely be suspicious if he didn't come out for so long."

"But Mr. Tsukino was unconscious in the collection room for so long and was not discovered, which is very abnormal."

Hearing what Masumi Sera said, Ginzo Nakamori continued to ask the security guard:

"Do you know when Mr. Tsukino entered the collection room?"

"Not sure."

The security guard said tremblingly.

Seeing that Ginzo Nakamori was about to get angry again, he quickly added:

"But I checked this room when the museum closed last night. There were still gems in the room at that time, and Mr. Tsukino was not in it."

Hearing the security guard's words, Ginzo Nakamori suppressed his anger and continued to ask:

"What time does the museum close?"

"Ten o'clock in the evening."

"Who else is in the venue after closing?"

"Only the security guard is left."

"That is, after ten o'clock last night, the gems were stolen and Mr. Tsukino was tied up by the criminal this morning."

Ginzo Nakamori's brows were wrinkled into a small mountain.

"It seems that it is better to listen to Mr. Tsukino's personal account of what happened yesterday."

Masumi Sera said.

The situation this time is different from before, and the victim is still alive.

Therefore, we should be able to get very important testimony from him.

"Mr. Tsukino, Mr. Tsukino, wake up!"

Masumi Sera squatted beside Tsukino Takashi, calling out Tsukino Takashi's name loudly and gently shaking Tsukino Takashi's body.
