Black Stories II ~ Case 33: Cursed Vacation

[Edible]

The robbery event itself?

Yes.

This'd be really silly if it were missed, but... was the teller an accomplice of the robbers?

No.

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Wow, this is turning out to be a lot more complicated than I would have thought. Nice~

Is it relevant what kind of car the teller hit?

Is it relevant why he hit it? (reasons like alcohol, sleep, losing control etc.)

[E-Nazrin]

Are we missing relevant details about how the robbery was executed? What was stolen (presumed money)? What was done with the stolen goods before the main escape attempt? Why the place was robbed?

I suggest you go through the answers and look for clues that have been missed.

[E-Nazrin]

Is the car the teller hit related to the robbers in a significant way? Was its driver an accomplice of the robbers?

Apparently the robbery was non-violent and there were others there but they don't really matter. The details of how the money was acquired are irrelevant, so that leaves, uh...

Is it relevant how the robbers got into the bank? How they convinced the people there to let them have the money? Were weapons involved?

[E-Nazrin]

[E-Nazrin]

Was it a bladed weapon? Projectile? Gun? Explosive?

To make sure - was it the same weapon involved in the robbery and the car crash?

Did the weapon directly lead to the crash by causing physical problems for either of the cars involved? By its presence indirectly influencing the driver(s) to make poor decisions?

Did the robbers directly interact with the car the teller crashed into? Did they leave money there? The weapon?

Is the driver of the other car relevant?

[Edible]

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Did the robbers drive the escape vehicle themselves?

Did they take a hostage during the robbery?

DId they take the hostage with them on the escape?

Did they force that hostage to drive the escape vehicle?

[E-Nazrin]

This has probably been asked, but was the other car related to the police?

Is the gun's original owner relevant?

Is the type of gun the robbers used relevant? Were any weapons used by other parties?

Did the robbers keep possession of the gun after the robbery?

Is the weapon relevant to how the robbery was executed? Was it done by openly displaying the gun and asking for money? Something more subtle?

[E-Nazrin]

Are there more relevant details to how the robbery was executed than openly displaying the gun and asking for/demanding the money?

Was the gun ever fired? Did the robbers try to dispose of the gun after the robbery in any way? Say, by leaving it in the middle of the street, making people freak out and crash?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Okay, so the shot was fired during the robbery, but caused the accident of the teller, which hindered the escape... hm, this is interesting.

Just to clarify again:

Did the accident in which the teller died happen at the time of the robber's escape?

Did the shot fired during the robbery hit anything outside the bank?

Did it hit a person?

Did it hit a vehicle?

Was the gun only fired once?

Is it relevant how often the gun was fired?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Alright, so I had a false assumption all the time.

Did the shot hit the escape vehicle?

Did it hit the teller's car?

Did the shot disable the vehicle?

Did it just damage it in a way that would lead to an accident later?

[axman36]

Did it hit another car causing said person to panic and crash into the teller?

[Edible]

Alright, so I had a false assumption all the time.

Yes. <3

No.

Did it hit another car causing said person to panic and crash into the teller?

... Yes.

 :toot:

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Okay, so:

The robbers started the robbery as planned. In the process, they fired a shot with their gun as a threat. The shot hit a car outside the bank, causing the driver to panic and hit another car, causing an accident. The man in the other car was a bank teller, working at the bank that was robbed at the moment, who wanted to get to work but was unfortunately killed in the accident. Because of the accident, the robbers couldn't get away in their escape vehicle and got caught by the police who had been called by the people inside the bank.
