Stay away from Conan.

"That thing is..."

In the distance, watching the armed helicopter flying above the Tokyo Tower, Shuichi Akai frowned, sensing that things were getting a little out of control.

Could this be the "interesting thing" that the mysterious person was talking about?
While it's true that piloting an armed helicopter directly within Tokyo, especially atop the iconic Tokyo Tower, is shocking in itself, but...

The problem now is that Judy is there too...

Thinking of this, Shuichi Akai immediately contacted Jodie, hoping nothing bad had happened there, otherwise that mysterious person...

I will definitely not let them get away with this!
"Judy, how are things on your end?"

Inside the East Tower observation deck, braving the hail of bullets just now, Judy reacted quickly and soon hid in the corridor inside the observation deck's central hub, temporarily concealing herself to barely avoid the machine gun fire from the helicopter.

Judy can only say that she was still shaken by the experience. Fortunately, she had made preparations before the operation, wearing a bulletproof vest. At the same time, the other side was also avoiding accidentally hitting their own people, so there were gaps in the firing range, which gave her the opportunity.

only……

The fact that armed helicopters were deployed directly to the East Tower carries a message that is truly astonishing.

What exactly is involved that would make the organization go to such great lengths to take this action?

Judy, who had been temporarily brought here because of the mysterious person who contacted Shuichi, was filled with many questions. After all, she had no idea about the whole story, only…

It's truly lamentable that if they had known the mysterious man's words would escalate to this point, the severity of the situation would have warranted a full-scale mobilization of the entire FBI in Japan. But...

Ultimately, the time was too short, and the other party was vague in their explanation, so we don't know...

Was it that the other party also didn't have time, or were they deliberately dragging it out until almost the last minute before notifying us...?

Just as Judy was deep in thought, considering how to break out, Shuichi Akai's voice came through the Bluetooth earphone she was wearing.

In response to Shuichi Akai's question, Jodie immediately replied:
"It's alright for now, but..."

Hearing the armed helicopters still circling outside the observation post, Judy knew that her safety was only temporary, and the other side would definitely try to force her out.

Thus, Judy, unsure what to say next, paused mid-conversation. Meanwhile, Shuichi Akai, on the other end of the line, simply replied, "Understood." At the top of that building, Shuichi Akai had already set up his sniper rifle.

"They've already deployed something like this. I wonder what the Japanese side will think if it were to fall directly into Tokyo."

As if joking with Judy, or perhaps just muttering to himself, Shuichi Akai said this, seemingly intending to shoot down the armed helicopter.

Hearing Shuichi Akai's words, Jodie felt somewhat reassured, knowing that with his abilities, he could keep his word. Therefore, Jodie responded:

"Then let's give it a try. Who knows... the organization might be exposed to the world because of this."

After saying this, Judy thought for a moment before continuing:

“I have a few civilians here who have also been implicated in this. I need to go check on them.” Judy thought of Lan and the others who had confronted the organization members before she arrived. She wondered what their situation was now, after all…

After I confronted that person, they all wisely kept quiet. I hope they are safe for the time being. Maybe if I find them, I can get some information from them.

Shuichi Akai didn't reply. He was completely focused on the huge object in the sky, and with the help of its own searchlight, he could indeed see its location from this position.

However, threatening an armed helicopter with a sniper rifle isn't simply a matter of hitting it; you have to find the right position...

Meanwhile, as Jodie and Shuichi Akai were talking, on the other side, Gin and Ireland were having a conversation that was almost face-to-face but could only be conducted through a cell phone. Ireland asked Gin and the others to take him away first, but Gin responded with a cold smile:

"Really? Where's the memory card? Show it to us so we can check."

Such rhetoric would sound rather harsh to the Irish.

What time is it now? Do you still doubt that you haven't completed your mission?
Not wanting to waste any more time, Ireland pulled out the memory card he had obtained from the notebook and the tree from his pocket, held it in his hand, and displayed it in front of him.

"How about it, is it okay now?"

Ireland said impatiently.

Meanwhile, inside the armed helicopter, the snipers holding the two rifles were dissatisfied with their position.

"No, Gin, we need to make him move forward a little more."

Therefore, under the guise of a phone call, Gin pretended not to see clearly and asked Ireland to move forward a little more, so that Ireland would be completely exposed to the perfect sniper position, and then Chianti and Cohen would fire.

But at that very moment, a ghostly flying object silently approached the armed helicopter from above. Just as the two men were about to fire, the object suddenly exploded—

The flash of the explosion momentarily blurred the vision of the two snipers, slowing their trigger pulls. Ireland, standing by the window, instinctively ducked back in the light of the explosion, preventing the bullet from hitting his vitals.

But just as the people on the armed helicopter were puzzled by the sudden turn of events, on the other side—

As the light flashed, Shuichi Akai, who was aiming at the spot, instantly seized the key point and fired his bullet, hitting the vital part of the armed helicopter directly.

"Oh no! The tail rotor is damaged, and the aircraft is out of control!"

Just as Shuichi Akai's bullet hit the armed helicopter, Gin keenly sensed something after the explosion. It wasn't an explosion that caused the change, since the explosion was too small. But the feeling that something had hit the helicopter he was in right afterward was very real.

Therefore, while Gin was utterly bewildered by this turn of events, Vodka, who was piloting the armed helicopter, was the first to notice something amiss—

The tail rotor was damaged, the directional control was lost, and the helicopter began to spin uncontrollably!
If left unchecked, a plane crash is only a matter of time, and...

Where it will ultimately crash is completely unpredictable… (End of Chapter)
