He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

Xiao Lan followed and shouted.

"...I said! Jodie! Turn your back to me and stay close, keep watch on our rear! Let Akai go alone on the other side!"

"...Who are Jodie and Akai?"

"...No, you can speak normally, can't you? Those two are FBI agents. They just shouted something as a joke to the distillery. Anyway, even if they heard it, they won't believe it if they have a brain."

"My ears are still a little sore, but after your stun, I can hear you normally now. Do you know where Miss Shirley is?"

"Of course I don't know. I'm waiting to be caught by the enemy and have my tongue caught. Besides, the heroine's physique is amazing. I almost fainted just now."

Ying Sheng quickly rushed towards the passage, with Xiao Lan following closely behind, her back to him. There were no enemies coming from the opposite direction, but there was one...

A black-haired boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old?

Still wearing a white coat?

Xiao Lan quickly grabbed Ying Sheng, who turned around and his eyes lit up: "Great, great, great! There's actually a lone researcher wandering around the streets, completely clueless. What luck!"

The boy froze on the spot when he saw the two gun barrels suddenly aimed at him.

Goodbye, Sherry.

Chapter 217 The Slow-Reacting Distillery and the Excellent Guide

"Junerik?"

Upon hearing the wandering researcher mention this code name, Ying Sheng immediately asked out of curiosity:

"Are you here to see Shirley?"

During the eavesdropping through the Vermouth earpiece, Hotaru heard this person's voice; he seemed to care quite a bit about Sherry.

Junairek, who had been crouching timidly on the ground, immediately brightened up upon hearing Ying Sheng's words:

"Are you here to rescue Sherry?"

"Congratulations, you're in luck."

Ying Sheng holstered her gun and extended her hand to him: "Do you know where Shirley is? Is there anyone guarding that area?"

Junairik nodded hurriedly: "Sherry has been put in solitary confinement, in..."

He paused, because just as he raised his hand to grab Ying Sheng's hand, Ying Sheng suddenly pulled his hand back, causing him to tremble instantly.

"Sorry, sorry, my hands were just too dirty. You should be able to smell it."

Ying Sheng looked at Xiao Lan with a sense of apology.

Junairik stared blankly at her, while Xiaolan shook her head and showed him her left hand:

"It's dirty too, let's save the high-five for after we retreat."

Junelek's eyes lit up, and he nodded emphatically:

"Ok!"

He stood up abruptly and quickly walked in the direction Ying Sheng had chosen earlier: "Shirley is over here. I'll lead the way. Be quick, the others might be here soon. By the way, Vodka is guarding Shirley. Can you take care of him?"

Ying Sheng continued to turn his back to Xiao Lan, quickly catching up: "Easy peasy, why were you the first one here?"

"I was walking this way when I heard the sound and thought it was a methane explosion. I came to check and then I met you."

Junairek glanced at the peripheral members lying haphazardly on the square, then at the manhole cover embedded in the metal ceiling, and his body trembled involuntarily. However, remembering that these two were there to rescue Sherry, he quickly calmed down.

"How did you inflict this area-of-effect damage? Did you use any new weapons?"

"It was given to me by the FBI; they said it was a flashbang."

Ying Sheng can be considered to be telling the truth.

Junerek looked at him with surprise: "This is definitely not a flashbang. You have connections with the FBI because Shuichi Akai came to rescue Sherry?"

"Pretty much. Tell me, did you come here just to check on Sherry, or to rescue her?"

"I can only look at her; I have no power to save her."

"So you saw us and didn't even question our ability to rescue them before turning against us? That's too decisive! Aren't you worried about losing your lives together if we fail?"

"The organization needs my talents. Even if you fail, I won't die. If you succeed, please take me with you. I've wanted to escape for a long time."

"Researchers are well-paid, but you might have to endure some hardship first."

"No, they know I'm timid, and torturing me might drive me crazy."

"........."

Ying Sheng glanced at the researcher who had already started running, speechless. "You call this cowardice?"

However, seeing the glimmer of hope in his eyes, Ying Sheng smiled slightly again.

Perhaps it's the power of love again.

Wow, this thing is really amazing.

“I’m willing to believe you, but I’m sorry, I still have a few more questions,” Ying Sheng said.

He glanced to his left and right. On both sides of the rather spacious metal corridor were rooms with their purpose and function, all with their doors tightly closed and without even a sign.

"What are these two sides for? Are you going to smash a cup as a signal and have hundreds of axemen rush out?"

"........."

Junairik thought this person had a really big heart, but he still quickly replied: "Some are warehouses, some are used to store experimental subjects, and if you go straight ahead, there are the dormitories for the outer members. If you turn right, there are solitary confinement cells and a prison. If you turn left at the end, there is an incinerator, a power distribution room, and a water room."

Having a guide is really convenient, Ying Sheng nodded with satisfaction, but of course, he still couldn't completely trust them.

Why is no one guarding this place?

"The people in the square just now were mostly killed by you. There will definitely be some left in various places, but definitely not many."

He had barely finished speaking when a gunshot rang out behind him.

Junairik shuddered and instinctively wanted to cover his head and crouch down, but the next second he heard Xiaolan speak in a somewhat stiff tone:

"I think I hit him right at the very bottom of his chest. He collapsed immediately. Is he alright?"

"Absolutely not. That's probably the liver. A gunshot wound can cause excruciating pain, coma, or even massive bleeding leading to shock, but with timely treatment, it's definitely not fatal. The liver has an incredibly strong regenerative capacity; in half a month, his liver might even be healthier than your father's."

Xiao Lan felt relieved upon hearing this: "I'll go back and persuade my dad to quit drinking. If he doesn't listen, I'll shoot him."

"Haha, great idea."

boom--!

Amidst laughter and conversation, Ying Sheng also fired a shot, striking the man squarely below his right chest—a liver-exploding shot!

"This guy is even dumber than the last one. He doesn't even know to wait until we get there before showing himself." Ying Sheng smiled slightly and turned to look at Junairek, whose complexion had returned to normal: "Help me shout that anyone who doesn't want to die should stay out of the way. An angel has descended upon this place today, so it's not a good time to kill."

Junairik swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, and actually shouted it out.

After witnessing the casual manner of Ying Sheng and the other person, he was convinced that these two were definitely strong!

With Gin seriously injured in the research institute, the only capable member is Vodka. That should do!

Absolutely!

A bright future beckoned to him, and Junelek felt a surge of power. The corner was just ahead, and he took a single step across!

Dadadadadadadadada——!!!

A rapid barrage of gunfire, like the crack of a typewriter, instantly resounded through the corridor, and a frenzied storm of metal enveloped the entire passageway!

Junelek trembled violently, frantically patting his body until he saw no blood. Only then did his heart begin to beat again. He turned around, his face deathly pale.

"Thank you... thank you... Mr. Xie, you saved me."

Ying Sheng released his collar and shook his head, saying, "This isn't how you court death. I'm asking you, how many rooms are there over here, and which one is Shirley in?"

"This……"

Junairek lowered his head apologetically: "I don't know either, I only know that she was put in solitary confinement."

"Has she been imprisoned before? Which time was she?"

"It used to be the one at the very back!"

"distance."

"Hmm... about forty meters."

"OK."

Ying Sheng raised his hand, took out a grenade, activated the fuse, delayed for one second, injected three points of killing intent, and threw it with a backhand.

Boom——! ! !

In an instant, the fire dragon burst out of the passage with a deafening roar. Junairek, who was unable to dodge in time, had half of his bangs burned off, revealing his right eye, which had been covered all along. Like his left eye, it was filled with shock.

"Alice, watch your back."

"understand!"

Chapter 218 Miss Shirley, Someone Won't Let You Die

Before the flames had even died down, Ying Sheng had already turned and charged out with an Uzi. The forty-meter distance was covered in an instant, and he ignored the gunshots that rang out behind him.

The target's solitary confinement cell door was tightly closed, with a small window above it. Ying Sheng stood against the wall, drew his dagger, and stabbed with a backhand.

clang--!

A loud metallic clanging sound rang out.

Tsk, this guy's not honest; he's looking outside with a gun barrel instead of his eyes.

A sliver of light flickered in the small window next door.

boom!

Without even looking, Ying Sheng fired a shot. Before the sound of the other person falling to the ground could be heard, he had already turned the gun around, stuck it in the small window beside him, and pulled the trigger.
