Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 47 Scotch Whisky
One year and three months later.

There is no town.

Nine p.m.

Because it had just rained, there was water everywhere on the ground. The streets were empty and only a few pedestrians could be seen passing by occasionally, adding a touch of cold and quiet to the scene.

at the same time.

The rooftop of an abandoned building.

With a gun pointed at his head by Keimitsu Morobushi, Shuichi Akai raised his hands high.

"You are worthy of being called Scotch Whisky. I didn't expect you to pretend to be thrown away by me, and then take my pistol away... But before you shoot me, would you like to listen to a few words from me first?"

However, Zhu Fu Jingguang did not pay attention to Akai Shuichi's intention, but suddenly turned the gun around and pointed it at his heart, "I didn't take this gun to kill you."

It's too late to say.

Akai Shuichi, who had long expected this situation to happen, took a step forward and grabbed the revolver in Morobushi Kagemitsu's hand.

"It's useless. Once the cylinder of a revolver is seized, it is absolutely impossible to pull the trigger with human strength alone. So, give up suicide, Scotch Whiskey. A man like you should not die here like this."

He said, looking at the other person with a very sincere look, "I am an undercover agent sent by the FBI. My real name is Akai Shuichi. Like you, I am a hound trying to hold on to those guys..."

It has been more than a year since Shuichi Akai joined the organization.

And with his extraordinary skills and courage, he successfully obtained the code name - Rye.

And today, he received an order from the winery to get rid of Zhu Fu Jingguang whose undercover identity was exposed.

"If you understand, put your gun down. After all, it's easy for me to let you go."

After he finished speaking, Shuichi Akai tried to move the gun away from Keimitsu Morifushi's chest.

Who knew that at this moment...

Ta-ta-ta-!
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried running in the corridor of the emergency exit.

Zhu Fujingguang, who had already been shaken, immediately strengthened his determination to pull the trigger after hearing this voice.

It was just because the cell phone in his left chest pocket contained text messages he had sent to his brother, Zhufu Gaoming.

If he were caught, it wouldn't matter if he died, but if his family was implicated, he would die with regret.

So, without any hesitation, Zhu Fu Jingguang bit the back of Akai Shuichi's hand.

"I'm sorry, Zero..."

Zhu Fujingguang's eyes revealed determination.

Unexpectedly, at the moment he pulled the trigger, a flying playing card hit the gun barrel.

Almost in a split second, the muzzle of the gun was hit and moved upwards by about three centimeters.

The moment blood exploded from Zhu Fu Jingguang's shoulder... a young man in a white suit and wearing a monocle suddenly appeared from the edge of the rooftop, and then under the gaze of Akai Shuichi, he threw a tear gas.

In an instant, the air was filled with smoke.

The irritating gas spread in the air.

Upon seeing this, Shuichi Akai immediately stepped back several steps and covered his mouth and nose.

The young man in the suit took this opportunity to rush into the smoke, quickly picked up Zhu Fu Jingguang, spread the glider on his back, and jumped down from the rooftop which was seventy meters high.

Akai Shuichi, who could hardly open his eyes due to the smoke, knelt on the ground coughing.

At the same time, Furuya Rei, who had just run to the rooftop… no, maybe he should be called Amuro Toru now, looked at him with a panicked expression and said, “What happened?!”

"Ahem... I was just about to do it... ahem... someone suddenly appeared and rescued Scotch."

"Rescued?"

Hearing this, Toru Amuro breathed a sigh of relief.

He also received news from his superiors this morning, saying that Morobushi Kagemitsu was an undercover sent by the police, and they were required to deal with him as soon as possible. Therefore, he did not hesitate to risk exposing his identity and rushed all the way here, trying to save Morobushi Kagemitsu before Akai Shuichi took action.

But it seems that there is no need for him to take action at the moment.

"Did you see who the other person was?" asked Toru Amuro.

"No..." Akai Shuichi shook his head.

But I was thinking in my heart: With that kind of outfit...how could Kaito Kidd suddenly appear here?

Why did he want to take Zhu Fu Jingguang away?
……

the other side.

"Kid" put down the blood-stained shoulder of Zhu Fu Jingguang, "You are safe."

"Who are you?" Zhu Fujingguang looked at Kidd with a pale face.

"Phantom Thief No. 1412, you can also call me——Phantom Thief Kidd."

"Why did you save me?" Zhu Fu Jingguang asked again.

"Only by staying alive can you protect your family. Choosing to die is actually escaping."

Kidd pointed to the exit in front of the alley and said, "After you go out, turn left and you will reach the hospital. Go and treat the gunshot wound on your shoulder first, then report back to the police station. As for your future plans... that's up to you."

After he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate any longer and threw out another smoke bomb, then disappeared on the spot in a pretentious manner.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was left standing there in a daze until he was swallowed by the smoke.

Phantom Thief No. 1412...

"That guy, why does he know my information so clearly?"

……

One year and three months ago, the mission to save Scotch whisky came to his mind.

At that time, when Xia He saw that the reward for this task was as much as three talents, he made up his mind to rescue Zhu Fu Jingguang.

But he didn't expect that among these three talents, two of them were life-related talents that were not of much help to him...

"Are you asking me to develop into the urban omnipotent king?" Xia He couldn't help but mutter.

only……

After all, we are in the world of science. If we don't want to become a victim, we should be a little low-key.
