Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 22 The Value of Legend
Arriving at the gate of the police academy, Tachibana Shizuka was filled with emotion. Speaking of the police academy, one would inevitably think of the five-member police academy group.

That is to say, there are four people as powerful as Furuya Rei in his group. Even if Amuro Toru is the ultimate evolved version of Shizutani Rei, it can be said that there are four people who are slightly worse than Amuro Toru.

What a pity, what a pity. If these four were still alive, they would all rush into the winery to work undercover. It would probably take less than three to five years for the entire winery's Tokyo section to become the Tokyo underground branch of the Metropolitan Police Department.

It is definitely the Metropolitan Police Department that has to pay the five insurances and one fund for the people in the winery on a monthly basis.

Thanks to Officer Takagi brought with him by Tachibana Shizuka and his team, the police academy gate guard did not stop them from entering the campus.

And through Officer Takagi, they also contacted an instructor at the police academy, who was also the head teacher of the police academy class.

"You want to ask Maori Kogoro? You've come to the right person. I tell you, Maori Kogoro is a legend in our school."

"Legend?" Xiaolan had guessed countless things about her father's experiences in the police academy, but she never expected that the instructor here would call him a legend.

Xiaolan carefully discerned the expression on the instructor's face and finally determined that the instructor was not speaking in a sarcastic manner.

"Hey, you guys don't think I'm kidding, do you?" The instructor had a rough and fierce look on his face, exactly the kind of detective that people in the Conan world stereotyped.

"Although I don't know what Mao Li did later that left such a 'bad' impression in your minds, his title of 'legend' is truly well-deserved among us."

The instructor thought for a moment after he finished speaking, then gave Tachibana Shizuka and the other two a mysterious smile. "I'm afraid you don't understand it very well. How about this? I'll take you to experience it for yourself."

"Ah?" Xiaolan and Sonoko looked confused, but Shizuka Tachibana and Officer Takagi guessed what the police academy instructor was thinking.

Officer Takagi thought about it and finally said nothing, but Tachibana Shizuka deliberately remained silent.

After all, what boy could resist going to a proper shooting range during adolescence and shooting some real stuff?
It's a real gun, not a "trial version" that has been reduced in caliber, loaded with less gunpowder, and tied to an iron chain.

If you use this to test cadres, then I won’t be sleepy anymore!
There were four people in the group, two of whom were really confused, and two of whom were pretending to be confused even though they knew the truth. So they were taken to the indoor shooting range of the police academy by the instructor.

"This is it. If you want to experience firsthand what the legend of the police academy is like, this is the best place."

"Is this a shooting range?"

"Yes, this is the school's indoor shooting range. Officer Takagi and I will personally show you how to shoot live ammunition."

The instructor nodded to Tachibana Shizuka and the others, then turned and left the shooting range. Then he returned to the shooting range with a police gun and a box of bullets.

According to common sense, ordinary people certainly can't play with guns in the shooting range of the police academy, but don't Tachibana Shizuka and the others have connections?
"Then you can try it one by one. Who will go first?" The instructor raised his eyebrows and asked Tachibana Shizuka and the others after helping them load the bullets.

"Let me go first!" Yuanzi raised her hand impatiently and came to the instructor. The instructor first taught Yuanzi the correct way to hold the gun, and after confirming that Yuanzi was holding the gun correctly, he provided sufficient protection beside her.

After all, Tachibana Shizuka and the others were just a group of ordinary people who had never touched a gun. Although the instructor was willing to let them try it, they still took careful protective measures at this time.

If there was any problem with Sonoko's performance, the instructor would stop her shooting.

Fortunately, Sonoko is a carefree person. If you ignore the hit rate, Sonoko's shooting is pretty good.

"Not bad, one out of five bullets barely hit the target." The instructor looked at the pristine target paper in his hand and tried to save Yuanzi's face. The target paper was as clean as new, with only half a bullet mark on the bottom edge. If the instructor hadn't put the target paper there himself, he would probably have thought it was accidentally scratched by a nail.

Even though her shooting wasn't as good as she'd hoped, Sonoko still found it quite satisfying. If she imagined the target as the scumbags she'd encountered over the years, even if she hadn't "killed" any of them, she was sure she'd at least scare two of them to death.

After finishing the garden, it was Xiaolan's turn to shoot.

"Well, not bad, all five bullets hit the target. One eight-ring, two nine-ring, two ten-ring!" The instructor looked at Xiaolan in surprise after getting the target paper. He could see that Xiaolan adapted quickly to using a gun for the first time. He estimated that with a little training or even letting Xiaolan shoot a few more shots, her shooting performance would steadily improve.

But when I thought about Xiaolan's identity, I felt relieved. After all, she is the daughter of a "legend", so it's not surprising that she has such talent.

"Then it's your turn next, kid, come and try it." The instructor waved to Shizuka Tachibana, who rubbed his hands and walked towards the instructor.

This was the second time that Tachibana Shizuka had encountered a real thing. The first time was when he was in high school military training. He was given five bullets and was defeated like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.

Tachibana Shizuka took position and aimed at the target, then suddenly had an idea and fired five bullets at a relatively steady rate.

How to say it, after handing the gun to the instructor, Tachibana Shizuka carefully recalled the feeling of when he just fired the gun. He was very sure that he felt very "comfortable" when he just fired the gun. It was a feeling like a fish in water.

This was something he had never felt during shooting training in his previous life.

Did he unexpectedly become gifted in shooting after traveling through time? Tachibana Shizuka wasn't sure; ultimately, it all came down to results.

Soon someone handed the target paper to the instructor. After seeing the results on the target paper, the instructor looked at Tachibana Shizuka in surprise.

"How is it, how is it, how is Shizuka's shooting result?" Sonoko approached the instructor curiously and looked at the target paper.

"Huh, they hit the bull's eye all of them?! That's amazing!" Sonoko didn't expect Tachibana Seiji's results to be so good.

"That's quite impressive for a novice." The instructor nodded in agreement, "But results like this do happen occasionally at this range.

But Maori is different.”

The instructor counted the remaining bullets, closed the lid, and said to them, "The formal shooting test requires four rounds in total, and you must use up five bullets in each round.

Maori completed the test that year by hitting the bull's eye on all the scores."

"All correct?!" Xiaolan seemed a little surprised.

"That's right, he hit them all. This kind of result is unique in this shooting range." The instructor was not lying. Perhaps after professional training, some students could do the same thing as Maori Kogoro.

But after all these years, only Kogoro Mouri was able to hit the bull's eye on his first shooting test.

At this time, Sonoko quietly approached Tachibana Shizuka and whispered, "Tachibana Shizuka, the instructor said 'hit all the targets'. Can you do that?"
