Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

"Let me see where it would be more convenient to scout next..."

He marked the next place he wanted to go on the map of Beika Town and made a plan for himself.

Then, Nara Hikaru put the map away, put it back in the drawer, and turned to look at the mirror.

The man in the mirror showed no sharpness or murderous intent at all; he looked like an ordinary, harmless college student.

However, simply taking off his sunglasses cannot completely conceal his identity.

He usually has other disguises, such as——

Nara Mitsuru took out a pair of plain glasses from the glasses case next to him and then hung them on his ears.

Suddenly, the image of Nara Hikari was completely severed from the urban legend of Beika Town, where he was known for his murderous tendencies.

"...I am always amazed at the camouflage effect of these world-wide plain glasses."

he whispered.

"Though it might still be instantly recognizable to those close to you."

"But I have no one close to me, and no one I can trust, so no one can see through my disguise."

One of the survival rules of Guandong Mountain is not to trust anyone except yourself and to keep a distance from everyone.

Nara University is very good, and has always been very good.

Late at night.

There was no light coming from the safe house.

Chapter 17 Vermouth: Haibara Ai? A transfer student from Teitan Elementary School?

"...Kenzo Masuyama is dead? That's really surprising."

"It's no surprise that the urban legend known as 'half-human, half-ghost, the best gunslinger' was able to kill him and Ireland, but who told the urban legend about Pisk's specific identity?"

"It seems that not many members of the organization in Beika Town know Pisker's identity?"

On the upper floors of a hotel, Gin was maintaining his sniper rifle, and a female voice came from the communicator next to him.

It is Vermouth, who is also one of the organization's senior executives.

Because Tequila, who took over her previous mission, was inexplicably killed by Urban Legend.

So Vermouth was sent by the boss to investigate matters related to urban legends. Now that she heard that Pisco and Ireland were killed and Gin was dragged into this mess, she came here specifically to add fuel to the fire.

"I think... could it be [Sulli] who escaped from the pharmaceutical building?"

...Sulli? Could she possibly be connected to the urban legend of the half-human, half-ghost?

The cloth that Gin was using to wipe the parts of the sniper rifle suddenly stopped.

There was no emotion on his face, but there was a sharp murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"If she is, I guarantee she'll be dead within a week."

His words were so cold that no emotion could be heard.

Vodka shuddered on the other side of the hotel room, then he took out his cell phone and asked again when Chianti and Cohen would arrive. Without these two lively guys to balance the atmosphere, the pressure was too low and he couldn't adapt.

"If that's the case, that would be great."

"Next, I might send you some valuable information. Remember to accept it..."

Utilize special hacking software taken from the organization.

Vermouth spoke casually, searching for information in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's computer as if she were in an empty space.

She thought Pisk's death was very strange.

This guy didn't die earlier or later, but died after Shirley ran away.

She absolutely doesn't believe it has nothing to do with Shirley.

If Shirley had a connection with the half-human, half-ghost urban legend, then it was most likely that she encountered her in a certain case, and a police inspector named Juzo Megure in the Metropolitan Police Department happened to submit case information related to the urban legend.

Just last night, the night Piske was killed.

Click.

The mouse clicked on the web page, and then Vermouth's gaze paused.

[Famous counterfeit thief Silver Fox arrested, urban legend takes action to subdue a counterfeit money gang]

[There are six elementary school students involved in the case, five of whom call themselves the Junior Detective Team. They are Edogawa Conan, Kojima Genta, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko, Yoshida Ayumi, and Haibara Ai from Teitan Elementary School.]

She paused, then hacked into the Teitan Elementary School's information database.

Among the student information, she directly searched for the relevant information of the five members of the Junior Detective Team.

Among them, the information about Genta Kojima, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, and Ayumi Yoshida is not worth mentioning.

But the information related to Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai is very interesting.

"One of them enrolled in Teitan Elementary School a few days after Kudo disappeared, with Kogoro Mori as his guardian... The other one simply enrolled in Teitan Elementary School after Shirley disappeared, with Professor Agasa as his guardian?"

Vermouth silently repeated the key information in her mind.

An incredible guess slowly came to her mind.

But before that, she chose to keep the matter secret and instead brought up the case that happened three months ago.

"Gin, I suspect this [urban legend] may be related to the [heroin trafficking ring] involved in the [Moon Shadow Island Serial Murders]. I've already transmitted the information. Please investigate."

"See if there's anyone who has a grudge against the criminal who was killed in that case, or if there's anyone who moved away from Moon Shadow Island after that incident. I'm guessing that person is definitely related to the urban legend."

After saying that, Vermouth hung up the call.

She stood up and sent a message to her partner, Calvados.

Then he left the cafe without looking back and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

She must personally confirm what is going on with this Haibara Ai. If it is really Shirley, then just kill her. Anyway... the BOSS only needs to know one result.

On the other side, Gin asked Vodka to take out the laptop provided by the organization.

He quickly glanced at the information about the [Moon Shadow Island Serial Murder Case].

His killer instinct instantly allowed him to detect a hint of something wrong.

"Asai Narimi? A female doctor? She left Moon Shadow Island immediately after the case was concluded?"

Gin looked at Vodka next to him.

And Vodka immediately nodded in understanding.

Needless to say, if you have suspicion, it is definitely better to collapse first and ask later.

The reason why we hit Kudo Shinichi with a club in Tropical Paradise before was because we were worried about the bad influence. Now this urban legend is about to be destroyed by the organization in Tokyo, so what impact can we expect?

"Chianti and Cohen will be arriving in Beika-cho soon. I'll ask them to come with us."

"Boss, we can bring this person to you this afternoon."

After saying this, Vodka immediately stood up and left.

Accompanied by the creaking sound of the door opening and closing.

Gin turned around and continued his daily maintenance on his sniper rifle.

He values ​​this sniper rifle very much, because it is not only a famous brand, but also has undergone many debugging and modifications. In terms of performance, it can definitely be regarded as the king of sniper rifles today.

With this sniper rifle, he can even achieve accurate sniping within a range of a thousand meters.

When the time comes, they will kidnap the doctor named Asai Narumi. That night, he, Chianti and Cohen will set up sniper rifles in succession and cover all the kidnapping locations. Then they will not be afraid that the urban legend will survive.

It doesn't matter if the urban legend has nothing to do with this doctor.

If the guy who treats the entire city as his own backyard knew that Gin and the others killed an innocent person in order to lure him out, his blood pressure would probably soar and he would turn around and hunt them down.

Anyway, they won't lose.

"Let me show you... my strength as the ace of the Black Organization's operations team."

Gin put down the sniper rifle in his hand and his eyes fell on the Tokyo Tower in the distance.

He felt that this landmark building was extremely annoying. If given the chance, he would definitely apply to mobilize the armed helicopters arranged by the organization in Tokyo to thoroughly shoot down the annoying Tokyo Tower inside and out!

"Let me see how far urban legends from your little place can go!"

He thought of the black figure who used the Flying Tiger Claw to perform inhuman operations.

Subconsciously muttering.

He had no idea that Nara Hikaru had already started looking for him.

"Yes, Porsche 356A, license plate Shinjuku 54み43-68."

The terrifying man in black with two guns said affirmatively.

"Yueshui, how do you contact the police? I'll leave it to you."

Chapter 18: Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf

Although Nara Mitsuru has always disliked the Japanese Public Security Bureau, formerly the Special High Police.

He himself didn't want to have any contact with other Japanese public security personnel, including Rei Furuya, who returned home early for unknown reasons.

But this does not mean that he will not use the power of the Japanese public security when he can.

The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but I can definitely cause some trouble to my enemy.

Gin's car is a classic antique car, which is very conspicuous. Now that the license plate number is known, I believe it is only a matter of time before the Japanese police find out Gin's whereabouts.

Nara Hikaru still somewhat recognizes Fūya Rei's abilities.

At least as high-level agents in Conan's world view, it shouldn't be difficult for Rei Furuya and Shuichi Akai to catch Gin with the home advantage if they are picked out alone.

If Fūya Rei can't do it, it doesn't matter. It will just make the Japanese police have a lower opinion of him.

Although the Japanese police's evaluation in Nara Mitsuru's heart has dropped to the lowest point.

"Oh, I see. Wait a minute."
