Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 70 The Decision of the Top

Shuichi Akai was also considering retreating. Five investigators had died, and the remaining men were terrified and demoralized. Continuing to fight would only increase casualties.

The situation was somewhat one-sided, the actions were too hasty, and the weapons and intelligence were insufficient to support victory in this battle.

This was undoubtedly a major intelligence blunder by the FBI director. Not only will this incident not secure his position, but he will also be criticized and will likely develop hemorrhoids sooner or later.

Moreover, none of the people involved in this operation were his own men. Apart from Carmel, the others were temporarily recruited from other groups, and these people would never be willing to risk their lives for him.

The battle has been going on for more than half an hour, and the Japanese side should be arriving soon.

The two grenades made too much noise; it's unrealistic to say no one noticed. It's only a matter of time before the police arrive, and they need to retreat before they do.

The gunfire has temporarily ceased, at least from the FBI's perspective.

However, this was only one-sided. Chianti lived up to his reputation as a madman. He unloaded the magazine, reloaded it, and instantly started a new round of firing.

From her angle, she could see the direction the FBI was retreating, so naturally she wouldn't let them get away.

The whooshing sound of bullets cutting through the air continued, and soon, another FBI investigator fell to the ground.

At this point, the number of FBI investigators had been reduced to four.

Shuichi Akai was still on the second floor. Hearing the gunshots, he was helpless. What was the point of firing a sniper rifle if it was out of bullets?

With that in mind, Shuichi Akai seized an opportunity to jump from the second floor. Under the cover of the FBI investigators, he ran behind the wall and reunited with them from another angle.

Just then, the roar of a helicopter came from afar, and the white searchlight beam slowly approached.

On the south side of the road, sirens blared as black and white police cars sped by, their red and blue colors reflecting off the snowflakes.

"retreat."

Vodka gritted his teeth and gave up. They couldn't expose themselves to the cops. If they couldn't kill Shuichi Akai, they would have to wait for another opportunity.

However, this operation can be seen as a warning to Shuichi Akai.

The only pity was that he didn't empty his magazine completely in the end, leaving only three bullets.

The arrival of the police completely extinguished the fighting spirit of both sides.

The terrain here is complex, and the police have to navigate many twists and turns to get in, making it easy for them to escape.

Chianti gritted her teeth and put away her gun. She was crazy, but not stupid.

However, the helicopter pilot was clearly incompetent, as the flight speed was very slow, which may also be related to the weather. In any case, it was five minutes later when the helicopter finally reached the airspace above the abandoned residential area.

Both sides had already disappeared.
The scene was left with dilapidated ruins and shell casings scattered all over the ground.

This area is close to the mountains. The two sides in the gunfight are climbing uphill from one direction, and no one is firing in the middle. Firing now would undoubtedly make them sitting ducks, and helicopters are already overhead.

The dark gun barrel on it is no toy; nobody wants to be strafed by an air raid.

"Inspect all the houses and find all the terrorists! Also, find the Kudo family and protect their safety."

The vehicle was parked outside the residential area to the south. Matsumoto Kiyoshi, standing in front of the police car, looked grim. His already scarred face appeared even more menacing at that moment.

One by one, police officers got out of their vehicles and entered the scene in an orderly manner to conduct a search.

They were all fully armed, gripping their pistols tightly, leaving no corner unchecked.

However, the survivors had already retreated, and the dead could not provide them with any valuable information. Even their identities were only briefly mentioned in the Metropolitan Police Department's system.

Half an hour later, a police officer reported: "Report, five bodies have been found, all of them of European or American descent. The battle covered an area of ​​four or five hundred meters, and there are bullet holes everywhere."

"Have you found Yusaku Kudo?" Kiyoshi Matsumoto asked seriously. The internationally renowned novelist still had a great influence, and protecting his safety was of utmost importance. This was the first task assigned from above.

As for the two sides in the gunfight, everyone has fled. All we can do is collect the bodies and compare their fingerprints to see if we can find any clues. Foreigners are registered upon entry, which is much easier to check than in Japan. At least we won't be unable to confirm their identity just because they don't have a driver's license.

Gunfights are rare in Japan, but they do happen; some yakuza organizations fight secretly. But today's situation is the most serious yet.

According to Yusaku Kudo's report, someone is using explosives here. These things are much more threatening than handguns, and a thorough investigation is necessary.

"No, nothing was found."

Matsumoto Kiyoshi's brows furrowed immediately, and he said angrily, "Then why aren't you continuing the search!"

"Yes!"

The officer yelled and fled.

Shortly after the police officers left, just as Matsumoto Kiyoshi was about to report the situation to his superiors, the communication device in the police car rang.

"Hello, this is Matsumoto."

"Uh-huh."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

After ending the call, Matsumoto Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief. The call was from the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, his superior, Odagiri Toshiro, who told him that Kudo Yusaku had left and that his priority now was to locate both sides in the gunfight.

Especially the side possessing the explosives. This is a serious matter; many reporters who have received the news are already on their way.

However, before the reporter arrived, Matsumoto Kiyonaga was greeted by a young man with a youthful face.

He claimed to be a public security police officer.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga didn't recognize the other person, but the face looked too young, so he didn't believe it.

"This area is now under the jurisdiction of our police department. You may leave."

Yuri looked up at Matsumoto Kiyonaga, showing no fear despite the latter's repulsive appearance, which resembled that of a villain.

Actually, if we're talking about scary, he can be quite scary at times.

His appearance was just a disguise; ruthlessness was what a police officer should possess.

I had just finished my work and was about to investigate that person when I was called in to deal with this matter. It was really annoying.

"Official letter".

Matsumoto Kiyoshi glanced at Yuri sideways. If he wanted to take over a case from the Metropolitan Police Department, the Public Security Bureau would at least need to issue an official letter; otherwise, he would have a hard time explaining himself.

Moreover, the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau have always been at odds, so it's understandable that he deliberately made things difficult for them; it's politically correct.

One is the capital's police, and the other is the police responsible for maintaining national security. Conflicts often occur between the two, and it is common practice for them to trip each other up.

Yuri didn't want to talk. The official letter wouldn't be approved so quickly. Since that was the case, "Let's search together then."

He waved his hand, and several police officers entered the scene.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga remained silent; he had no reason to stop the other party from joining the investigation.

Ten minutes later.

"Commander Matsumoto, footprints have been found on both the east and west sides. It is suspected that the two sides involved in the gunfight fled to the mountains behind."

"Have you gone up the mountain yet?" Matsumoto Kiyotaka narrowed his eyes. Going up the mountain was going to be a bit difficult.

"In that case, I'll leave this place to Commander Matsumoto. I'll take the trouble to go up the mountain and take a look."

Yuri smiled and bowed to Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

This time, their target is the winery.

Based on Yusaku Kudo's report and the intelligence provided by Bourbon, it was Vodka and several codenamed members who were ambushing the FBI here tonight.

Since the person has already escaped, there's no point in them staying here. Instead of collecting evidence with the Metropolitan Police Department, it's better to go after them. Catching either side is what the higher-ups want to see.

The evidence collection was left to the Metropolitan Police Department. Once the other party finished collecting the evidence, they could directly ask them for the information, saving manpower and resources. Their team didn't have as many personnel as the Metropolitan Police Department.

The higher-ups are furious about this and have already begun taking action against the distillery.

It is said that the IRS discovered a large base of the brewery in Japan and repeatedly sought cooperation from its senior management.

The higher-ups initially didn't want to agree, hoping to use Furuya Rei's in-depth investigation to find this large base and then take it over themselves. After all, it was their territory, and it would be a bit shameful to let foreign countries interfere, plus the IRS was too greedy.

However, the message sent back by Rei Furuya is that it is temporarily unavailable.

Aside from Gin, who knows everything about the brewery base and outposts, the other members only know parts of them. Furuya Rei is unaware of this base, and it will take some time to find it.

Therefore, the higher-ups decided that even if they suffered some losses, they had to curb the arrogance of the brewery as quickly as possible. To actually have a gunfight in Tokyo was too disrespectful to the Public Security Bureau.

At the winery, Xia Chuan and his three companions had already ventured deep into the mountains.

Xia Chuan had no wounds and came and went unharmed; Vodka was also unharmed, but he had been cursing and swearing the whole way, who knows what kind of grudge he had against Shuichi Akai; Chianti and Cohen were each shot once, but it was not a big problem, just abrasions and not fatal.

"So, you two were sniping at Akai Shuichi's door for half an hour and didn't hit a single shot? I wouldn't dare say we're colleagues if you two were like this, I'd be too embarrassed."

Xia Chuan's mocking voice sounded particularly jarring in the quiet forest, at least that's what Cohen and Chianti thought.

"And what makes you all better?"

Everyone's record is about the same, so the top player doesn't need to talk about the second-best.

"I killed several people with one lightning strike."

"You even blew out an escape route for them."

"Didn't you tell me to kick them out of the room?"

"."

Tequila and Cohen and Chianti talked and talked for a long time, until their mouths were dry before they stopped.

Vodka ignored the three of them.

The fight is over, let whoever wants to mediate go ahead, he, Vodka, can't stand this injustice.
