The next target seems to be myself.
With Lin Che by my side, I can definitely feel more at ease.
"Then what you need to prepare..."
"I can't buy it myself in time, so I'll borrow your money."
"Hmph, all you care about is my little bit of money."
I'm not after your money.
Lin Che smiled but remained silent.
Almost an hour later.
Lin Che continued to smile, but then he spoke.
"I'm going to fight Scobin to the death tomorrow. How about I settle the agreed-upon payment in advance?"
In the courtyard of the villa.
The driver who was responsible for bringing the two back was found dead on the spot.
Qian Jiang knelt on the ground, Lin Che stepped on his shoulder with one foot, and the muzzle of the PPK gun was pointed at the back of his head.
The guns used by these criminals were all too similar in model; the pistols equipped with silencers were either PPKs or M92Fs, and Lin Che had both of them.
At this moment, Qian Jiangyi's mood was already unbearably bad. He gritted his teeth and questioned:
"I don't think I've wronged you in any way. Are you going to kill me for a little money? That's short-sighted and greedy!"
Lin Che pressed down harder with his foot. "You talk as if you're really planning to give me the money. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
What was the task you initially assigned me?
"Protect the vase, defend against Scowbin's attack, and then eliminate her to prevent future troubles."
"The vase is safe, your biggest problem, Nakamura Tetsuya, is dead, and I've also helped you defeat Scobin and found out his true identity. Now, all that's left is to take care of her."
He leaned down and sneered.
"Killing her is also my core objective, and I will absolutely not disagree with you on this step."
"Now that she's in the open and I'm in the shadows, it shouldn't be too difficult to take her out with a sneak attack."
"So what's wrong with me asking for early settlement to prevent you from defaulting on the debt later?"
"I really don't want to work with you anymore, it's too much trouble."
Qian Jiang's chest heaved continuously, while the pale yellow lamps in the courtyard remained silent.
The driver's body was not far away, with a shovel lying beside him, and a newly dug pit was even closer.
After Lin Che suddenly kidnapped him, demanded that the driver dig a pit, and then immediately shot the driver, he knew that he was bound to lose money to avoid disaster today.
You wait... After everything is over, I will absolutely not let you go!
Qian Jiang took a few deep breaths and said in a trembling voice, "Okay, I'll transfer the thirty million to you right away."
"Mr. Qian, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"The vase is worth 25 million, Scobin's head is worth 30 million (double the price), and let's settle the errand fee for tomorrow as well, so that we can both feel at ease. The total is 85 million, which is all what you personally promised me."
"Given Mr. Qian's habit of issuing bounced checks, I'll collect another 15 million in deposits to round it up. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"you!"
"how?"
Lin Che stomped hard on Qian Jiangyi, slamming him to the ground.
"See this hole? Today, we'll either fill it with money, or we'll fill it with you."
"You choose."
Qian Jiangyi's right cheek was chafed painfully by the mud and sand, and his chest felt like a blower, filled with rage.
"...Fine, one hundred million it is, let me go."
"cash."
"There's no way I could have that much cash. All the money in my house combined is only 80 million, and that all just came back from Nakamura's men!"
"Then it'll be eighty million."
[Protecting Antiques (Completed): You have gained 2000 experience points and a commission fee of 1500 million yen.]
[Due to changes in the mission flow, an additional 6500 million yen will be awarded, and the designated item blueprint will be replaced with a random item blueprint.]
You have obtained: Mark 8 CQBSS Optical Scope (Master) Blueprint.
bass!
A burst of golden light erupted.
Lin Che successfully reached level 7, with 500 experience points remaining, 2500 experience points short of level 8.
The further you upgrade, the harder it becomes.
Unfortunately, he can only gain experience through quests, and killing people doesn't give him any experience.
The blueprints we just obtained are actually what's commonly known as an 8x scope.
Master level is more than enough by today's standards, and it's also a good fit, especially since I just got an AWP myself.
Lin Che released his foot.
Qian Jiangyi scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state, his eyes filled with a cold glint.
"Now we can..."
Don't wait for him to finish.
A bullet pierced his right eye.
The impact of the bullet knocked him backward, causing him to look up at the sky before he fell straight into the crater and remained motionless.
"Unfortunately, those assets in the bank are not easy to move, but 80 million is already a gain that far exceeds expectations."
Lin Che casually put the PPK back into his backpack, then took advantage of the darkness to clean up the scene and fled at top speed.
Scobin, it's your turn next.
......
A new day dawns, and the sun shines brightly.
Lin Che returned to the dock early in the morning as promised and met with Kogoro Mouri and the others.
Pu Siqinglan arrived just in time.
"Miss Qinglan, it seems you didn't rest very well last night."
Unless something important is happening, Kogoro Mouri's gaze is always fixed on beautiful women.
Pu Siqinglan forced a smile, "I thought I could get a good night's sleep when I got back, but unfortunately I still tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep."
Of course, it's impossible to sleep at night.
She went to the castle ahead of time to make some preparations.
If things don't go well, she will bury everyone, including the castle, in a sea of fire.
At worst, she could just abandon her current identity and run away. It didn't matter if her name, appearance, and gender were all exposed, because the Egg of Memories was something she absolutely had to get.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Che.
It's a pity that Qian Jiangyi didn't come along, otherwise we could have taken care of all the people we wanted to kill at once.
After exchanging pleasantries, the tour group departed as scheduled.
Lin Che rode in the same car as Kogoro Mouri and the others, along with the Russian secretary, whose presence was extremely minimal.
He didn't receive a single penny of budget from above, and relied entirely on his emotional appeal to the Suzuki Group.
He actually wanted to give up, and he only came here today to make a last-ditch effort.
Yokosuka wasn't far, and the group arrived at their destination quickly.
The villa is built on the mountaintop, like an old king looking down over his kingdom.
As soon as they got out of the car to take a look around, a Beetle followed right behind them.
Conan rushed over, "Doctor, is what I asked for ready?"
Professor Agasa handed over the glasses. "These are the best bulletproof lenses I could get my hands on. Seriously, was it really necessary to risk your life like this?"
"It's just preparing for the worst." Conan changed his glasses, then looked speechlessly into the car. "So why are those guys here too?"
The three little ones hopped and skipped off the bus.
Ai Haibara was much quieter, but she was still somewhat surprised to see Lin Che and walked over quite naturally.
Why are you here?
"Conan didn't say anything when he contacted Dr. Agasa?"
"Well... I didn't ask."
"Then go back and ask."
Lin Che suddenly had an idea and asked seriously, "If you had to choose, would you choose something that is useful right now, or something that is full of uncertainty and can only be used in the future?"
A thoughtful look flashed in Ai Haibara's icy blue eyes.
"Practically speaking, the future I envisioned has never given me positive feedback. In my view, so-called uncertainty is equivalent to the word 'failure'."
Row.
Lin Che finally made a decision, finalizing the choice he had been hesitating to make.
He chose a specialized path.
[Combat Mastery: All attributes +10%, combat skill effects enhanced by 10%, upgradable.]
Chapter 45 Entering the Castle
"call--"
After choosing his specialization, Lin Che could clearly feel that his various qualities had improved, and he even felt a surge of energy that he couldn't help but express.
"Whoosh! Swoosh!"
Lin Che got into a fighting stance and threw two punches at the air.
The little girl was startled by his sudden movement and quickly took two steps back, her voice noticeably rising, "What are you doing???"
Despite her surprise, she was still able to make out Lin Che's figure through his clothes in the sunlight.
This guy has a pretty good physique...
After finishing his punches, Lin Che stretched his shoulder blades. "I suddenly felt like stretching a bit, don't worry about it."
Ai Haibara: "......"
You seem to have that serious illness.
Her expression quickly returned to normal. She gestured for Lin Che to bend down and then lowered her voice, "Scoopin is dangerous. If you insist on going in, please be very careful."
As she spoke, she said with a hint of helplessness, "If I had known you were here, I should have asked the doctor to prepare an extra pair of bulletproof goggles."
Is this the benefit of increased favorability?
From initially trying to drive me away with an extremely bad attitude, to now taking the initiative to chat and express concern whenever we meet.
It's true that people like to be treated kindly.
Anyway, Lin Che feels very comfortable now.
After increasing your affection level, you get a hint that you can ask Ai Haibara to do some things for you, so you can try it if you have the chance.
"By the way, did you open the little tin box your sister left you?" Lin Che asked.
A hint of unease flashed in Ai Haibara's eyes. "Ah... I opened it. There's a letter she left for me inside."
really?
