Thank you for your reviews, Kaitou and D C JoKeR H S!

Kaitou: That's an interesting theory. But I wonder if Ryuu would really care what his grandfather thought since he basically broke off all ties with Pluto when he started living with Kyuu and his mother.

To my readers: Please read and review! I'd like to hear your thoughts, and I appreciate any feedback.

"Hmm…so you think that the guard was lying about knowing the victim, Tatsuya-san, Kinta?" asked Ryuu.

"Ah. He froze for a millisecond after I asked him if he knew him. It could be nothing, but…"

"Yeah, it sounds like you should investigate that angle. What about you, Megu, Kazuma?" Kyuu prodded.

"Otsuka-san didn't seem suspicious, just annoyed that Tatsuya-san was flirting with her and bragging about his wealth. But then again, without any evidence, we can't rule her out as a suspect just yet," Kazuma reported.

"She did mention that the women's restroom was locked, and the key was missing," Megu piped up.

"During service hours? Sounds fishy," commented Kinta. The others nodded in agreement.

Kazuma said, "Megu and I will stay here and find out more. I'll look through the security footage, in case anything turns up."

Kinta frowned. "Are you sure Kawazu-san will let you look at the tapes? He doesn't seem to be very forthcoming…"

Ryuu cracked a smile as laughter threatened to burst out of Kyuu. "I'm sure Kazuma will convince him otherwise."

Kinta and Megu looked confused. Were they missing something?

"Sorry, inside joke. Humor aside, there was something else that was suspicious," Ryuu added. "It seems that there was a conflict at the hospital the victim worked at, something about surgical procedures?"

"Sounds like a lead we'll have to follow up on," agreed Kyuu. "Kinta, maybe the guard knew the Tatsuya-san through his medical profession. I can't think of another way he could have known him. After all, it's highly unlikely that someone who bragged about his job would associate himself with a lowly paid security guard. Do you want to come with Ryuu and me to the hospital he worked at?"

"Sounds good," said Kinta, with Ryuu nodding in agreement. Everyone went their separate ways, intent on finding some answers.

Kazuma and Megu walked to the manager, who hung up and put his phone away as soon as he saw Kazuma. "Ah, Narusawa-san! What can I do for you?"

"Can I look at the security tapes? I'm sure that the security here is top-of-the-line, so don't bother trying to tell me the cameras don't work."

Kawazu-san nodded his head in defeat. Before he set off to show Kazuma where the security room was, Megu interrupted and asked, "Where are the keys to the bathrooms usually kept?"

The manager looked puzzled at the question. "At the office on the key hooks, of course. Why do you ask?"

Megu and Kazuma exchanged a look. Did the manager not notice the keys missing? "No reason," Megu decided to say. "I have to check on something. Do you mind, Kazuma?"

"No, not at all. Let's go, Kawazu-san," said the computer genius. Megu waited until they were out of sight and walked into the manager's office. Looking around, she spotted the case with the keys, and sure enough, the keys labelled "bathroom" were there. She removed the keys and headed for the bathroom.

The keys worked, and allowed her access into the previously locked women's bathroom. Stepping in, she turned on the lights. The bathroom was fairly clean, with white tiles on the walls gleaming and the floor shining. Checking each of the stalls, she found nothing, but when she checked the contents of the trash can near the paper towel dispenser, she found a ski mask and a black pair of gloves and bagged them. Stepping out, she locked the door behind her. Then, after asking Otsuka-san for directions, she went to find Kazuma.

When she walked in, Kazuma was sitting in an office chair with his back to her, looking at the mini-screens overlooking each part of the bank. "Find anything interesting?" Megu asked quietly, so that she wouldn't scare him.

"Ah. Take a look at the footage at the office," said Kazuma. Megu watched it, but nothing happened. "Kazuma? What am I looking at?"

"Today's footage…before, during, and after the shooting."

"What? But how can that be?"

"Well, Otsuka-san must have been lying about not seeing the keys. No one stepped into the office during all that time, and the manager wasn't holding them when he left."

"But I found these in the women's restroom just now!" exclaimed Megu, holding up the bagged ski mask and gloves. "And I had to open it with these keys, which I found in the office" she added, holding them up as well.

"What? Hmm...I guess that this could mean one of two things…the keys were copied, or the cameras must have blind spots the criminal knew about. I asked Kawazu-san after you left, and he said that there were only one set of keys to the bathroom-the custodians have to come in to the office to get them so that they can clean them," Kazuma explained.

"So that leaves the fact that the cameras had blind spots. I guess that makes sense-they are constantly moving, so they don't cover everything at the same time. But since all three suspects work here, and this security room is easily accessible by anyone, wouldn't they know the blind spots anyway?" Megu asked.

"Yes, unfortunately." Kazuma sighed. Looks like they had to find a new lead…

"Wait, we still haven't found where the ten million yen went! It must still be somewhere on the bank's grounds, right?" asked Megu.

Behind his glasses, Kazuma's eyes widened. He had forgotten that this was a murder AND a robbery. "That's right! Let's go look for it."
