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

Mercenaries and arms dealers from Southeast Asia, local giants that monopolize local industries and collude with the underworld, and criminal organizations that attempt to hijack flights and attack Japanese police...

In the eyes of the people in Hakodate, these evil things are far less threatening than the good man Yan Shuangying.

Because the celebrities can give those evil people what they want, but Yan Shuangying doesn't want anything, he only wants these people's lives.

Therefore, they would take the initiative and attack Yan Shuangying. This is actually a very normal logic... although it is normal from the perspective of this group of humanoid creatures.

"Next, please continue to collect evidence related to the crimes in Hakodate, focusing on investigating the situation related to the Fujiang Zaiba."

"As for the whereabouts of the police officers from the Hakodate Regional Police Headquarters, you don't have to worry about it. Yan Shuangying will never be defeated by such a guy."

"Instead of worrying about him, you should worry about your own safety in the Hakodate area."

While analyzing the situation, Bai Ma Tan gave suggestions on the next course of action.

Hearing this, Inspector Megure, who had just finished investigating the nightclub area, couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

"It seems that this is the only way forward for the current situation. Unfortunately, we didn't get any useful information from the nightclub."

"If it weren't for Brother Mao Li finding information about Axie Takuzo in a villa on the outskirts of the city, our operations this morning would have been completely in vain."

Inspector Megure said.

I couldn't help but think again of the strange feeling I had when I was investigating inside the nightclub this morning... I clearly felt like someone was following me, but when I turned around, I couldn't find anyone.

From this perspective, perhaps not finding anything is actually a good thing.

If they really got some useful evidence at the nightclub, they might have to fight with that guy who didn't know what it was, right?

Although Inspector Megure believed that with their strength, there would not be any major problems, he still felt relieved that they had accidentally avoided a conflict.

"If nothing unexpected happens, something else will happen tonight."

Came the voice of Bai Ma Tan.

"If there are other areas of investigation to be conducted, then we should start them tonight."

"Whether it's the officers of Hakodate Police Headquarters or the local celebrities, they probably don't have the extra energy to pay attention to other things——"

Tonight...?

There was some doubt in Inspector Megure's eyes.

What will happen tonight?

Chapter 413 Pier

The sky gradually darkened, and the sun descended from the sky and sank into the distant mountains.

The city of Hakodate was once again shrouded in darkness. The original city nightlife had disappeared, the neon lights were no longer as bright as they were yesterday, and most of the lights left on were the household lights in the buildings.

Last night's turmoil was a bit too terrifying for the citizens of Hakodate.

Even the citizens of Beika-cho who like to live for the moment would have to consider whether to go out the next night if they encounter such a situation, not to mention the citizens of Hakodate who have always been calm but have suddenly become more active in the past two days.

Tonight, no ordinary passers-by of Hakodate will appear on the streets.

However, the many forces hidden within the city of Hakodate all began to move at the same time. The first to move were undoubtedly the mercenaries of the Death Merchants from Southeast Asia.

Brian D. Kadokura has made up his mind to get the Axe River Secret Treasure.

The loss this time was already quite large for him. Even though he was wealthy, he still felt the pain. Now that he had obtained the treasure map that was suspected to be the hiding place of the Fujiang secret treasure, there was no way he would leave without giving it a try.

Led by Webster, many mercenaries set out according to the treasure map.

Brian, however, had already brought some mercenaries with him, got into a black luxury car, and headed towards Hakodate Pier.

————As a wealthy arms dealer, it was naturally impossible for him to handle such matters personally, but he handed all matters over to his confidant Webster.

He only needs to take his men back to the cargo ship at Hakodate Port and prepare to evacuate.

Under normal circumstances, when facing police officers from such a small place, Brian would have some thoughts of taking action himself and playing with them, but now he no longer has the leisure time.

Although the quality of the police officers at Hakodate Police Headquarters was not much different from what he expected.

However, the deterrent power of that urban legend hidden in the darkness, which was about some unknown monster or demon, was too great. What if he was spotted by the urban legend while wandering around outside, and then he would collapse and die without any place to seek justice.

"Boss, do you think Webster can bring back the Axe River Secret Treasure this time?"

The mercenary in the passenger seat of the black luxury car asked curiously.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Webster's ability.

Since that mercenary could become the ace of the Death Merchant, he must be the elite among the elite who had fought his way out of the sea of ​​fire and swords. Facing ordinary enemies, he could definitely cause heavy casualties and escape unscathed.

However, the water in Hakodate is now too deep, deeper than the water at the scene of general firefights in Southeast Asia.

Even if it was the invincible Webster, if he were to operate in Hakodate under such circumstances, there was a possibility that he would silently overturn somewhere in the city and completely disappear from the world.

"Don't worry, Webster will be fine."

The Death Merchant rubbed his forehead and felt a slight headache.

He was not worried that Webster would be in danger, because he knew that Webster's strength was definitely among the top in this city, and there were definitely no more than a handful of people who could kill Webster.

What's more, Webster, as his ace elite, also possesses a very powerful specialty.

That is, Webster can quickly judge the opponent's strength level during the fight, and thus formulate tactics for continuing to fight or evacuate. Therefore, Webster is unlikely to be in danger of his life.

Unless the master he meets is so strong that he can kill him in one encounter, or make it impossible for him to escape.

————There is no doubt that the probability of such a thing happening is infinitely close to zero.

The Death Merchant couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could my ace be so useless?

The black luxury car maintained a considerable speed all the way towards Hakodate Wharf. However, it was soon stopped by a guardrail in the middle of the road. Only police officers in uniform could be seen standing on both sides of the guardrail, seemingly on guard against something.

Suddenly, Brian's brows furrowed slightly.

He didn't know why the local police officers in Hakodate would appear on the street to stop cars at this time. Could it be that the local police officers in Hakodate already knew his next whereabouts?

But this is impossible, as he has already cleaned up the mercenaries he brought with him.

The spy that Fu Jiang Takuzo had planted inside the company has been found and killed by him. His whereabouts can be said to be absolutely confidential and will not be found by anyone. It is impossible for someone to block him at this time.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

The mercenary in the co-pilot seat was a little nervous and asked in a low voice.

His gaze swept across both sides of the road, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and his fingers subconsciously touched the gun under the car seat, ready to kill those police officers at any time.

However, when his eyes fell on the police officer who was coming towards this side and entered the range of the car lights, he was stunned and then spoke.

"Strange, why is he a police officer from the Minato Police Department? Isn't this the uniform of a police officer from the Hakodate Police Headquarters?"

————Hong Kong Police Department?

The Death Merchant, who was about to say to the driver, "Isn't the sidewalk very spacious?", swallowed the words he was about to say and decided to wait and see what happened before making any plans.

The police officers at the Minato Police Station and the Hakodate Police Headquarters have completely different responsibilities.

If they really wanted to mobilize people to catch him, the Merchant of Death would rather believe that those idiots would mobilize police officers from the Traffic Department of the Police Headquarters than from the Hong Kong Police Station.

The reason is simple: the quality of the police officers at the Hong Kong Police Department is several levels lower than that of the police officers at the Hakodate Police Headquarters.

If we transfer them here to catch people, they will either end up throwing meat buns at dogs and never come back, or they will cause trouble and pressure on our own people.

"Excuse me, sir."

The police officer from the Hong Kong Police Station knocked on the front window and said.

The driver lowered the window on that side slightly so that the police officer's voice could be clearly heard inside the car.

"Some unexpected situations occurred at Hakodate Pier this morning."

"We suspect that the same criminal organization from last night entered Hakodate Pier and is planning a terrorist attack. Therefore, please wait until our routine investigation is complete before entering."

————That’s a good guess, but we haven’t gone in yet.

The Death Merchant narrowed his eyes slightly.

He felt that something was wrong.

Could it be that something special will happen inside Hakodate Pier later?

Chapter 414 Beyond Visual Range Shooting

Webster, who was on his way to the location marked on the treasure map, was unaware of the sudden situation encountered by the Death Merchant. At this moment, he was just driving and thinking about his next plan of action.

As the ace mercenary under the Death Merchant, Webster is naturally no ordinary person.

After he accidentally discovered this treasure map when he opened the Star Edge Knife in the afternoon, he immediately realized that there must be something wrong with the origin of this treasure map. Someone must have put it inside the Star Edge Knife after Fukushiro Ryowei's death.

The intention is most likely to allow the mercenaries who are already preparing to evacuate from Hakodate to stay in Hakodate and take action again.

As for who did this, Webster couldn't think of the specific force in his mind.

However, he felt that the authenticity of this treasure map was quite questionable, and there was a high probability that it was a trap set by the secret forces. Therefore, he advocated that the Death Merchant and the mercenaries evacuate directly from Hakodate and return to Southeast Asia as originally planned.

The water on the Hakodate side is so deep that even if they try their best, they may not be able to reach the bottom.

However, the Merchant of Death believes that the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

That's why Webster appears in the black luxury car here.

The famous arms dealer in Southeast Asia could sense the danger hidden in this treasure map, so he immediately made a decision. On the one hand, he asked Webster to take most of the mercenaries to the specific location to check the situation.

On the other hand, he took the remaining mercenaries to Hakodate Pier, boarded the ship in advance, and was responsible for the pick-up.

Of course, he was responsible for the support, but Webster himself knew that the boss did this most likely to prevent the whole army from being trapped and wiped out, with someone being captured and then tracing back to the boss.

They boarded the ship early just to facilitate their evacuation from Hakodate as soon as possible if they encountered danger.

However, Webster did not think there was anything wrong with this approach.

If he is a merchant of death, when there are great profits and a lot of resources have been invested, he will also choose to let his men try to get new profits at this time.

As the ace mercenary under the Death Merchant.

Webster believes that for this single-handed action, the gains are likely to be greater than the losses.

The reason is simple. With his strength, if he encounters danger or an ambush, at least he can evacuate with these mercenaries without any problem. At that time, he can stop the loss in time and also obtain some intelligence information about the enemy.
