Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 435 A Very Fashionable Way to Kill

If he remembered correctly, the second helicopter just now also went from this direction to the guesthouse area. He suspected that if he went any further, he might enter the Black Robe Organization's secret base.

The guesthouse area served as an outpost for the Black Robe organization.

Just as Conan guessed, the zoo's base was indeed located deep in this direction.

This is a base built on the mountainside, similar to an air-raid shelter.

The man in black robes stood under the cover of night, as vehicles continued to come and go.

"Judging from the shock absorption and load-bearing capacity, it seems like they are moving something."

Xia Chuan and his two companions were the first to discover the air-raid shelter.

They were originally planning to ambush Snake and his men in this direction, but then the sound of a truck engine caught their attention.

Gin's eyes were like a wolf's, and the sound of him swallowing made Natsukawa turn his head.

Like a long-unsatisfied woman whose eyes are shining!

"Damn it, if we had known there was a base like this here, we should have sent more people!"

Although the truck's cargo box was covered with black cloth, Gin still guessed what it was.

It's nothing more than weapons and equipment; this is clearly a secret base of the zoo.

Judging from the frequency of vehicle entry and exit, the number is considerable. Unfortunately, it has already attracted the attention of the Metropolitan Police Department, and there is no opportunity to take action.

"Big brother, what do we do next?"

"Of course, we're targeting those two codenamed members from the zoo." Gin sneered. With no equipment at hand, forget about the things inside the base; focus on Snake and Lanternfish instead.

Xia Chuan rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "They're probably coming. They know we left in this direction, but they certainly don't expect us to dare stay behind and snipe them."

The three then found a suitable large tree to lie in ambush, hiding in the canopy, where they would not be detected in the pitch-black night.

They could spot anyone passing by by the sound of branches and leaves.

rustling
Before long, the sound of footsteps treading on tree branches could be heard from below.

The three of them, Xia Chuan, were on the same tree. They looked at each other and then nodded together.

Vodka grinned, revealing his white teeth, and with a slight effort, stood up.

The crouching posture makes it difficult to exert force, and coupled with his weight, the recoil from firing a gun will more or less affect his balance.

The sound was coming from the direction closest to him, and his position was such that he could see the scene below through the leaves.

"Come on, I'll send you to meet your God!"

Vodka silently recited the command, pointing his pistol downwards, ready to lock onto Snake and Lanternfish the moment they appeared through the gaps in the leaves.

sough--

The wind blew the leaves down, and Snake and the lanternfish walked slowly forward.

Besides them, several other men in black robes managed to escape and are now standing around, supporting the two codenamed members.

However, there were no problems along the way, and the base was just a few hundred meters ahead, so there shouldn't be any major issues. At this point, everyone lowered their guard to the minimum.

The faint sound of a car engine coming from ahead made Snake relax slightly.

The base is still evacuating in an orderly manner, trying to minimize the losses.

Damn it, if he had known it would turn out like this, he shouldn't have come here. He's definitely going to be punished by the boss later.

Just as this thought crossed his mind...

Suddenly, a very sharp sound of a branch snapping came from above Snake's head.

This sound is different from the sound of footsteps on the ground; it's very harsh, and you can tell from the sound that it's not made of thin twigs because the sound is somewhat stringy.

Vodka realized something was wrong and looked to Natsukawa and Gin for help.

Before he could speak, the broken end of the branch suddenly widened, and his feet suddenly lost their footing. This feeling of emptiness was the same as when Agave had just stolen his older brother's affection from him.

"do not want!"

Vodka uttered those words one last time in his mind, and then began freefall. Whoosh—

Branches were snapped one by one; this unstoppable momentum was something Xia Chuan had never felt from vodka before.

Fortunately, the branch had some conscience. Just as Vodka was about to fall, his pants were caught on a short branch, and he was hanging upside down, half of his head peeking out from the canopy, appearing like a bat in front of a man in black robes.

The man in black robes was clearly still in shock, his head still raised.

Damn~
The elastic pants successfully prevented the vodka from falling to the ground, but it stopped right in front of the man in the black robe, and coincidentally, their lips met in a kiss.

Vodka was stunned.

The man in black robes was stunned.

"what!!!"

The man in black robes, who had been relaxed, became overly tense at the sound of the branch snapping. Suddenly, someone leaped out from the treetop above, making it hard not to think of a vampire or something similar.

A black suit—that's perfect for a vampire's attire.

In particular, the "vampire's" rosy lips even touched his own!
Could he have been embraced?
The man in the black robe was instantly drenched in cold sweat on his forehead and back. His feet went numb, his knees stiffened, his vision went black, his consciousness short-circuited, and his eyes rolled back as he fell straight to the ground.

All of this happened in an instant.

Snake and the lanternfish both widened their eyes.

Is this the winery?

A truly fashionable way to kill someone: first, give them a kiss to scare them.

No, it's a kiss. It'll scare someone to death! ??

While the others were still stunned, Vodka used his waist to try to swing himself back up to the tree, but due to excessive drinking and osteoporosis, it was all in vain.

Fortunately, Natsukawa and Gin reacted quickly enough. Although they couldn't see what was happening, they still fired in the direction of the sound to buy Vodka a chance to survive.

"call out!"

Snake's nostrils twitched slightly, his eyes twitched violently, and his pain receptors tightened instantly. He covered his ears and hid behind a tree.

The others immediately opened fire in retaliation, and the vodka hanging there was no way to dodge, making them live targets!

Xia Chuan casually tossed out a small knife, accurately severing the vodka's trouser leg.

"what!"

Vodka let out a scream, and there seemed to be a cracking sound of bones in the middle of it.

Natsukawa and Gin fell from the tree together and began their counterattack.

This is where the difference in skill between the assassins becomes apparent.

The moment Xia Chuan and Gin landed, they fired several shots in quick succession. One after another, the men in black robes fell to the ground, including Lanternfish. Although none of the shots hit vital organs, the bullet pierced the hand holding the gun. The bullet not only pierced the hand but also caused the magazine to explode, bursting the hand!
"Quick, there it is!"

The gunshots not only attracted the attention of the zoo moving company, but also brought the police, led by Joel, to the scene.

Under these circumstances, the ambush had clearly failed.

Gin turned and left without a word. As for Vodka? Let him fend for himself. If it weren't for Vodka, how could he have failed?

If Vodka had held on for even a few more seconds, those two codenamed Zoo members would be dead!
The kind-hearted Xia Chuan pulled Vodka behind a tree, ran his hand over Vodka's chest, and then touched him.

The next moment, Xia Chuan's face darkened, and he kicked Vodka. He had been worried that Vodka, the gossip king, was going to die...

"What's the big deal about wearing a bulletproof vest?"

"Oh, right, I was wearing a bulletproof vest."

Vodka then realized what had happened, touched the bullet hole in his chest, and found that it was indeed true.

He quickly stood up and followed Xia Chuan away, looking rather foolish.

Snake and his zoo staff didn't dare to move at all.

No, they had no men left. Apart from Snake and Lanternfish, the other men in black robes were all lying on the ground, and the smell of blood had begun to spread.
