A: Did you hear about the news? It’s crazy!
B: No, what happened? Tell me!
A: Apparently, there was a big robbery in Hong Kong! Like, 51 million yen!
B: Wow! That’s a lot of money. Who was involved?
A: Some Japanese people! Two Japanese men were robbed. They were carrying a backpack with cash.
B: Seriously? Were they okay?
A: Yeah, but get this - one of them is now a suspect!
B: What?! No way!
A: I know, right? He gave conflicting information to the police. They got suspicious!
B: That’s so weird! What were they doing in Hong Kong with that much money anyway?
A: They’re precious metal dealers! They were trying to change the money into Hong Kong dollars.
B: To buy something? What kind of thing needs that much cash?
A: That’s the question! Six people have been arrested so far. Three of them are Japanese too! They were trying to leave the airport.
B: So they were trying to escape!
A: And get this – there was *another* attempted robbery in Tokyo, at Haneda airport!
B: Really? Is it connected?
A: The police think so! Someone sprayed pepper spray at a guy with a car full of money. They’re investigating if it's all linked.
B: That’s wild! Two robberies, two Japanese guys... It's a story!
