I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 451 Capturing Kenzo Masuyama (2nd Update)
Kenzo Masuyama sat in the monitoring room, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, his eyes fixed on the screen.

The bandit was agile and nimble, his movements as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he killed the ninja that the bandit had trained at great expense.

Even those highly trained assassins were no match for him.

"This ruthless bandit is formidable. Not only is he proficient with firearms, but he's also incredibly skilled in close combat."

"Just who is this guy?" Masuyama Kenzo frowned deeply, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

But he was merely shocked.

No matter how strong the opponent is, he is still just one person!

That ruthless bandit was already struggling to deal with five ninjas!

"You ruthless bandit, your end is near!" Masuyama Kenzo sneered, a look of absolute certainty in his eyes.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and coldly ordered, "Everyone, listen up! Head to the target location immediately and kill that ruthless bandit Azu at all costs!"

"As for that hooded bandit..." He glanced at Kogoro Mouri, who was struggling to defend himself in the surveillance footage, and sneered, "A guy who can't even handle a ninja like this, you can just kill him when you pass by."

....................................

Shiraishi E and Mouri Kogoro stood in the dimly lit corridor, surrounded by deathly silence.

Suddenly, a series of rapid footsteps approached from afar—a rustling sound, growing clearer and clearer, like countless feet treading on a wooden floor.

Kogoro Mouri's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Damn it...they're here!" His voice trembled, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "That voice...at least dozens of people!"

He turned to look at Shiraishi E, his voice filled with panic: "Hey, Shiraishi! Shouldn't we retreat? If this continues, we'll be chopped into mincemeat!"

Shiraishi E simply smiled slightly, her eyes chillingly calm: "Don't worry, I've already thought of a way."

"What method?" Kogoro Mouri asked eagerly.

Shiraishi E didn't answer, but suddenly raised her hand and shattered the light bulb above her head with a single shot!
"boom!"

Glass shards flew everywhere, plunging the corridor into darkness instantly.

Kogoro Mouri was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I see! They were able to ambush us because they were in the dark and we were in the light."

"Now that no one can see them anymore, their advantage is gone!"

"Clever." Shiraishi E chuckled. "Now, it's our turn to fight back."

As he spoke, he bought two night vision helmets from the bandit shop, put one on himself, and tossed the other to Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mori hurriedly caught it and put it on.

In an instant, the previously pitch-black vision turned into a ghostly green scene thanks to the night vision goggles—and all the ninjas who were originally hidden in the darkness were now completely exposed!

"I see!" Kogoro Mori exclaimed excitedly.

Shiraishi E had already picked up the samurai sword from the ground, a cold smile curving her lips: "Now, it's time for them to experience this feeling."

As he spoke, he slowed his pace and approached slowly.

The ninjas were silently approaching their target under the cover of darkness.

Suddenly, the lights went out, and all vision was plunged into darkness.

They were stunned—where was their target?

In the instant they hesitated, a dark figure rushed into the crowd like a ghost!
Swish-!
With a flash of light, a ninja's throat was slit open in an instant. He didn't even have time to make a sound before he fell to the ground.

Shiraishi E slashed and hacked without the slightest hesitation.

His figure moved through the darkness like the Grim Reaper, and blood splattered wherever his blade passed!

The other ninjas realized something was wrong, but they didn't know what to do.

After all, it was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything. Running around would only make them die faster!
Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri swallowed hard and gripped his katana tightly.

"Killing someone with a knife... and killing someone with a gun are completely different things..." He hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Shiraishi E had already cut down several ninjas, it would be unreasonable for him not to do so!

"Fine, I'll give it my all!" He gritted his teeth and charged forward.

However, he was not as ruthless as Shiraishi E. He used the back of his blade for his first strike, smashing it hard into the back of a ninja's neck.

boom!
The ninja groaned, but instead of falling, he turned around abruptly and slashed his katana straight at Kogoro Mori's neck!

"Damn it!" Kogoro Mouri's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively leaned back. The blade grazed his throat, leaving a shallow bloodstain. "Damn it! I almost got killed!" He broke out in a cold sweat, finally understanding—in this life-or-death situation, mercy would only get him killed!
"I'm sorry!" he growled through gritted teeth, and his next strike aimed directly at the ninja's chest!

"Pfft!"

The blade pierced the flesh, and fresh blood gushed out.

Kogoro Mouri's hands trembled slightly, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.

"Don't hesitate... or I'll be the one who dies!"

"I don't want to die young, I still want to see Xiaolan get married!"

He took a deep breath, gripped the hilt of the knife, and continued toward his next target.

In the monitoring room, Kenzo Masuyama stared intently at the screen.

Not only were the lights destroyed, but the surveillance cameras were also damaged.

The screen was filled with snowflakes; nothing could be seen.

But he's been a hitman for so many years, what kind of storms hasn't he seen?
Therefore, Kenzo Masuyama was not in a hurry at all, but instead pondered how to deal with the situation.

A few minutes later, he quickly came up with a good idea.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and calmly said, "Everyone listen up! Lie down and move!"

"Don't stand still! Anyone who stands still will be killed!"

Our own troops will definitely receive the order, then lie down and move to avoid friendly fire.

The ruthless bandit, unaware of this, was bound to fall into the trap!

Thinking of this, Kenzo Masuyama couldn't help but feel a little smug, and even wanted to give himself a thumbs up for his cleverness!

However, there was complete silence on the walkie-talkie.

No one responded.

Kenzo Masuyama's heart sank.

"What's going on? Is there a problem with the signal?" He anxiously changed the channel, but there was still no sound.

Just then, a soft "click" came from the door of the monitoring room.

Kenzo Masuyama suddenly turned around—

A blood-stained samurai sword was already pressed against his neck.

"Stop yelling." Shiraishi E's voice rang in his ear, tinged with a mocking laugh. "Your men have all been killed by me."

"No...impossible!! There were more than fifty people, how could you have killed them in just a few minutes?" Masuyama Kenzo's first reaction was disbelief!
He slowly turned his head and saw that the ruthless bandit was wearing night vision goggles!

Kenzo Masuyama froze, then smiled bitterly, "I see... The power of ninjas can't ultimately withstand the tides of time..."

He had no interest in figuring out how the other party got the night vision goggles.

Shiraishi E couldn't help but laugh: "What era are we living in? Still playing the retro ninja game?"

Without further ado, he injected an anesthetic into Kenzo Masuyama's neck, then picked him up and took him away.

On his way out, he saw Kogoro Mouri, whose hands were trembling from chopping people, and laughed, "Alright, we've caught the guy... let's hurry up and go."

“Okay…then I’ll set it on fire now.” Kogoro Mouri said, taking a lighter out of his pocket.

"Use a lighter? You'll barely get the fire started before the fire department arrives!!" Shiraishi E said, buying a flamethrower from the Bandit Mall and handing it to Kogoro Mouri, saying, "Use this, it'll be much more efficient!!"

"A flamethrower?" Kogoro Mori exclaimed in surprise. "Where did you get that?"

"We picked it up from inside... Hurry up, we need to leave before the police surround this place," Shiraishi E said perfunctorily before urging him on.

Without further ado, Kogoro Mori immediately started setting fires everywhere with his flamethrower.

Soon, flames engulfed the entire mansion, and the raging fire illuminated the night sky.

All the evidence, all the secrets, turned to ashes in the flames.

Meanwhile, Shiraishi watched as the unconscious Kenzo Masuyama and Kogoro Mori fled the manor, got into a car, and sped away.

Fortunately, Masuyama Kenzo was involved with organized crime, so the police instinctively assumed it was another gang fight and sent officers to investigate.
