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

Before, Vermouth disguised herself as Hirota Masami, preparing to wait for Shirley to appear and capture her on the spot, but unexpectedly, she waited for Gin, and after being captured by Gin on the spot, she realized that something was wrong.

However, she initially thought that there was a high probability that there was a mole in the police who was in collusion with Sherry, so she and Gin were tricked.

But later, Vermouth felt that Sherry probably didn't have the courage to attack Gin, and this matter probably had nothing to do with Sherry. Therefore, she once again thought about who was behind this matter.

Then, she thought of someone who was related to Shirley and might contact the police to take action against the organization——

That’s right, it was Yan Shuangying, who was known as the “half-human, half-ghost, the best spearman” in Beika Town.

Immediately afterwards, Vermouth began to suspect whether the people who went to investigate Tottori Prefecture during this period were also related to Yan Shuangying. Therefore, after the organization arranged this matter, she did not do it herself, but pushed someone else through her.

She asked the Wakaguchi Group to do this if they could get rid of the people investigating Tottori Prefecture.

Then, everyone is happy. She can find an opportunity to kill the leader of the Wakaguchi group and then go back to report.

If the leader of the Ruokou team was killed, then it wouldn't be a loss. After all, they couldn't find her because of the layer of separation. At least she was safe and had a reason to report to the organization.

Sizzle————

A busy tone came from the headphones hanging on my ear, and the bug installed in the office of the leader of the Wakaguchi group was destroyed.

Fortunately, Vermouth no longer needs this bug.

She took off her headphones, loosened her grip, let them fall to the ground, then stepped on them and crushed them, stood up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she turned her head and looked through the telescope at the window of the Wakaguchi Group's operations building again.

Then, Vermouth saw a familiar figure looking at this place, holding a very familiar sniper rifle in his hand - that was the sniper rifle model commonly used by Cohen and Chianti!

It’s Yan Shuangying!

Are you kidding me? She even had to use a telescope to see inside the Wakaguchi Group's office!

How could Yan Shuangying possibly know she was here? Was his vision or perception range as far as the telescope in her hand? At such a long distance, even rye whiskey or gin could not hit it with a sniper rifle!

Could he be sure of using a sniper rifle to kill someone at this distance?!

Although Vermouth didn't believe that Yan Shuangying could use Cohen or Chianti's sniper rifle to complete the sniper kill at this distance.

But the moment she saw Yan Shuangying, before the first thought came to her mind, her body had already honestly followed her heart and quickly hid. Then, she heard the sound of breaking through the air, followed by the sound of shattering glass——

A bullet appeared in the mural of this hotel room.

If Vermouth had not dodged just now, the shot would have directly smashed her head!

At this moment, a trace of gloom flashed through Vermouth's heart.

She is now at least two kilometers away from the Wakaguchi Group building where Yan Shuangying is located.

Yan Shuangying had not picked up the sniper rifle while she was observing through the telescope. Within a few seconds after she put down the telescope, he determined her position and completed the entire process of raising the gun, aiming, and even shooting.

Able to use a sniper rifle that is not suitable for long-range shooting to complete accurate shooting at a distance of two thousand meters in an instant.

This is not a skill that can be easily cultivated. Even Gin and the defected Rye Whiskey may not be able to achieve this level of sniping... What is the origin of this guy?

Vermouth gathered her things and immediately evacuated from the sniper's blind spot.

She didn't plan to stay here any longer. Now that her location had been discovered, it was hard to doubt whether she had triggered the ghost's killing pattern, so that this guy teleported to the downstairs of the hotel and ambushed her in the short time she looked away.

Although, she knew it was impossible for anyone to move such a long distance in such a short time.

However, Vermouth still had to leave here as quickly as possible, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

------

After dealing with Wakaguchi Group leader Wakaguchi Ren, Nara Hikaru concluded that he could not obtain any other useful information here.

But just as he was about to leave, he had a vague feeling that someone was spying on him.

Therefore, he briefly judged the direction from which the prying gaze came.

Then he pulled out a gun from the many guns carried by Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was guarding the elevator - probably the sniper rifle of the thin man or the woman, and prepared to see what was going on.

Then, Nara Mitsuru saw the woman who had just put down the telescope through the sniper scope.

Unfortunately, the moment he captured the woman through the telescope, the woman turned her head and noticed him, so he had no time to adjust the sniper rifle and could only shoot based on his feeling.

...It's a pity that such hasty sniping seems to be a little too poor.

If Nara Mitsuru had been given one more second to aim, he could be sure that the woman would definitely die from the bullet and would be able to see her own brain.

"It's a shame, her reaction speed is pretty good."

Listening to the slightly regretful voice of the terrifying man in black with two guns.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who didn't go near the window, raised her eyebrows and just said.

"I don't know if her reaction speed is fast, but I know that the reaction speed of the police car is quite fast—"

"The police sirens are approaching, coming from the bar we were in."

"It seems that those two Wakaguchi-gumi members you killed earlier were discovered by someone who called the police. Now, after hearing the sniper rifle shots, they've come straight here to investigate and arrest them."

The former high school detective took over the sniper rifle from Nara Hikaru.

I casually stuffed it into the large bag I was carrying, seemingly without any effort at all————

At least Nanatsuki Koshimizu was still carrying her gun bag and her tape recorder at the same time as if nothing had happened.

As long as people in this world exercise diligently, their physical fitness is generally very good.

Even if it's just a female high school student who graduated some time ago, but not including a male high school student who was beaten with a club.

"Let's go."

Nara Hikaru said calmly.

He had a premonition that the Black Organization would take action next.

As long as this group continues to operate within the city of Tokyo, they will eventually reveal their tracks.

He can make a lot of mistakes, but this group can only make one mistake.

Chapter 42: Fifty-six Thousand Hostages

The night passed in a flash.

The details of the major tragedy involving the Wakaguchi-gumi were also officially placed on the table of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

The person in charge in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, has put on a mask of pain.

Because, apart from Beika-cho, there have been almost no such serious serial murder cases in Tokyo.

The murderer targeted the Wakaguchi Group's operations building and killed five people directly. Twelve people died from their injuries, and the remaining twenty-odd people were all lying in the hospital. The leader of the Wakaguchi Group was even nailed to the wall!

The criminal police officer who pushed the door into the office of the Wakaguchi team leader turned pale.

What was even more unacceptable to the Shinjuku District officials was the conclusion of the case reasoning review given by the experienced detective after conducting an on-site investigation.

"You mean, someone took the elevator in the Wakaguchi-gumi's operations building and went straight to the top floor?"

"Then he took the decorative katana that the Wakaguchi-gumi leader had hung on the wall, and proceeded to kill or injure all the Wakaguchi-gumi members who were on the top floor like chopping melons and vegetables?"

"There were even a few Wakaguchi-gumi members inside who were armed with pistols, but they were killed before they could even fire their weapons?"

"Then the murderer swaggered into the office of the Wakaguchi-gumi leader, nailed him to death, and removed all the bullets from the pistol that the Wakaguchi-gumi leader had dropped and dumped them on the table?"

The old detective standing in front of the Shinjuku Ward official nodded repeatedly.

It’s like saying, yes, you are right!

"Why don't you just mention that the blind Zatoichi in the movie was made and all these people were killed?"

"How could there be someone who could use cold weapons faster than aiming and firing? Are you kidding me? Can that kind of thing even be considered human? Isn't that the same as a ghost?"

The Shinjuku Ward official muttered in disbelief.

Then he heard the old criminal say.

"Maybe it was a ghost who did it?"

"Isn't there a serial killer in Beika Town who's known as 'Half-human, Half-ghost, the best with a sharpshooter'?"

The expression on his face became more vivid.

Thinking of the various underworld organizations that have emerged in Shinjuku District, he suddenly fell silent.

Just said at the end.

"...Can you find a priest to take him back to Beika Town?"

------

"Brother, this can be considered as a formal fight between you and Yan Shuangying!"

"What do you think of Yan Shuangying's strength? I feel that his strength should not be as good as yours, big brother. After all, he aimed at you with a sniper rifle first, but only broke the sniper scope, so you still had time to fight back!"

"If this is a real one-on-one duel, then Yan Shuangying will be eliminated directly, right?"

Vodka said loudly in the rest area.

Praising the strength of Gin, the ace of the action team.

However, there was not much joy on Gin's face, as if he was not very satisfied with the result of the fight with Yan Shuangying last night. However, in Vodka's opinion, this result was already gratifying enough.

At least it shows that Yan Shuangying, the half-human, half-ghost, is not a real ghost, but still within the scope of human beings.

Since Gin was able to hold his own in the sudden encounter, he would have the upper hand when he led others to siege him in the future, and there was even a possibility that he could completely kill this half-human, half-ghost urban legend in Beika Town and make him truly believe in a ghost!

Originally, in Vodka's mind, the terrifying image of Yan Shuangying also weakened a little.

However, he immediately heard Gin's impatient voice.

"That's enough! Stop talking about the sniper attack last night! I doubt that guy was Yan Shuangying at all!"

"The danger he brings to me is far less than that of the man in black I met at Pisco Company before. They are not killers of the same level at all. Moreover, that guy gives me a familiar feeling..."

"I should have seen that sniper somewhere!"

Suddenly, Vodka's voice stopped.

He looked at Gin in disbelief, unable to believe that the organization's enemies in Beika Town had produced another tough guy who could compete with Gin——

What exactly is Beika Town? Why are there so many ruthless people popping up here and there?

"So, big brother, who do you think that sniper is..."
