Chapter 299: Japanese Specialties You Must Try

Not long after, under the guidance of Miss Sonoko's highest-level human pass, Xiaolan and the others took the vertical elevator and successfully arrived at the first-floor observation hall of Suzuki Tower.

Considering that they had already had the experience of visiting here last time, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi immediately realized, as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, that they had been here before, and they all clamored to go to higher floors to see the night view.

Then they were reprimanded mercilessly by Miss Sonoko.

“Hey, you little brats, it was because you said you wanted to do your summer homework that Ran, Sera, and I brought you here so late at night. And even if this is just the first floor of the observation hall, it’s still 350 meters high, which is enough for you to overlook the night view of Tokyo. Besides, if you go any higher, you won’t be able to see the nearby buildings. How are you going to finish your summer homework?”

"Yes……"

The three naughty kids, whose little thoughts were exposed, were forced to give up struggling and lie down on the safety fence near the window at the edge of the big disc of the observation hall.

However, they were completely attracted by the night view below at just one glance.

If distance can create beauty, then night is undoubtedly one of the indispensable and important factors that can bring out this beauty in the mechanism.

Just like looking down at the night view of any metropolis from an airplane, one can't help but exclaim in admiration.

Observing from a distance of hundreds of meters, your naked eyes will automatically ignore the dirty napkins scattered on the side of the road, the empty bottles with a little drink left in them, or other garbage.

The deep night makes it impossible for you to even see the traces of construction on the hotel's high-rise buildings that have not yet been fully completed.

Looking around, what comes into view is the flashing neon lights all over the city, like a sea of ​​stars, and the street lights on the cross-sea bridge that are connected in a string like a long dragon.

The same is true for a certain racing game where there is always night and no day.

"so beautiful!"

Ayumi opened her eyes wide, and little stars seemed to be popping out from her childish pupils.

Although Mitsuhiko and Genta beside her were not as exaggerated, they both showed longing looks at the same time.

"So awesome~"

“It’s simply spectacular!”

Just as the children were expressing their admiration for the magnificent scenery before them, Sera Masumi, who had been silent, suddenly realized that Qin Wuque had disappeared without a trace.

……

"It's really beautiful, much better than the night view of Los Santos."

Qin Wuque spoke softly against the howling night wind.

At this moment, he was standing on the top of the observation hall where Xiaolan Yuanzi and others were. There was a circular terrace surrounding the Suzuki Tower, which seemed to pierce the night sky.

Normally, only maintenance workers can come up here, and even if they do, they must take all protective measures. After all, it is nearly 400 meters above the ground, and the wind is strong. At this height, if you accidentally slip and get blown down, it is no joke. Even a god cannot save you by then.

But Qin Wuque brought nothing with him, not even a safety rope. He just stood quietly on the edge of the circular terrace. If he took one more step forward, a free fall of three hundred and fifty meters would be waiting for him.

But he remained unmoved.

At Qin Wuque's feet, a sturdy Asian man was lying on the ground with an anti-material sniper rifle in front of him. He had a crew cut, and in the faint moonlight, one could see an old, sharp, arc-shaped scar on the right corner of his forehead. His well-developed deltoid muscles almost broke through his slightly tight white short-sleeved shirt.

—Kevin Yoshino.

In terms of physique, Kevin Yoshino is more than two or three levels stronger than Qin Wuque, but in terms of strength, Qin Wuque can easily hold down two or three Kevin Yoshinos with one hand.

This is also why it is said that Kevin Yoshino was "forced" to the ground.

A pair of cold white coconut shoes stepped on the back of the former Navy SEAL's neck. Qin Wuque was holding an anti-material sniper rifle of the same model as the one in Kevin Yoshino's hand. He could cut the former's spine with just a little force.

However, unlike Kevin Yoshino who had to lie on the ground and use a tripod to shoot accurately, Qin Wuque aimed directly with the gun in his hand.

"Who are you!?"

Kevin Yoshino was still trying to struggle, but the coconut shoe on the back of his neck seemed to be fixed by an iron bar and welded. No matter how hard he tried to get up, it was useless. The muscles he had trained in the US Army seemed to have become a laughing stock.

And he is the Monkey King under the Five Finger Mountain.

"If you move again, I will shoot your friends, break your spine, break all your teeth, throw you into a blender to give you a cement bath, and then turn you into a human pile and sink you into Tokyo Bay." Qin Wuque threatened lightly.

"..."

Kevin Yoshino really didn't dare to move.

He was once an elite soldier in the Navy SEALs, so such rude threats that sounded like those from gangsters certainly couldn't scare him.

But he had not forgotten one thing, that is, the other party mentioned a very important keyword five seconds ago - Los Santos.

Although it is also a city in the United States and is right next to San Francisco and Las Vegas, Kevin Yoshino doesn't know much about this city. The little he knows about it comes from the mouths of his former seniors in the army.

The original words are - Los Santos, a huge, sunny and prosperous city, is full of masters of self-salvation, corrupt officials and down-and-out celebrities. It has the most violent law enforcement agencies and the most violent criminals. You can even see two fighter jets shooting at each other with machine guns in the sky on your way to work. It is a place that even the most elite and idealistic peacekeepers are unwilling to go to.

To put it simply, it is roughly equivalent to Gotham City in the DC universe.

Can anyone who comes out of a place like this be a normal person?

Kevin Yoshino didn't dare to make any guarantees, let alone gamble.

Because he had tried and was sure he couldn't win.

"Just do your thing and don't worry about me."

Feeling the struggle under his feet gradually subside, Qin Wuque, who was holding a sniper rifle as if looking for a target, spoke again.

"Kevin Yoshino, listen carefully. I'll tell you straight. I know everything about you, including your and Timothy Hunter's plan to take revenge on Jack Waltz and others... I even know that the bullet that shot Timothy Hunter in the head on the battlefield was fired by Jack Waltz's subordinate Bill Murphy, who was instructed to do so in order to make Hunter disappear from the army completely, so that no one would ever mention the fact that they took away Timothy Hunter's Silver Star Medal."

"I admit that I feel very sympathetic towards Timothy Hunter's plight, but at the same time your actions did cause trouble on my territory."

"So, I allow you to complete your unfinished revenge. At the same time, after the action is completed, you will also receive the punishment you deserve."

Qin Wuque said this with one eye closed, and suddenly a hint of joy appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the field of vision of his open eye, a small figure holding a skateboard appeared on the top of a building near Asakusa.

"Oh~ Found it~"

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

I'll make up for the one I still owe tomorrow. My mom and my grandparents are going on a trip tomorrow, so I can stay up late and write then~

(The main reason was that I didn’t sleep late at night and was discovered by my mom during her ward rounds…)

Chapter 300 Conan, Big Failure

Time goes back a quarter of an hour.

In the city of Tokyo at night, Conan was speeding along on his skateboard with a serious expression on his face.

He walked forward against the cool night breeze, and when he looked up, he saw the Suzuki Tower in front of him, like a sharp sword that seemed to pierce the night sky.

Obviously, he had received almost the same revelation as Qin Wuque, but his destination at this time was not Suzuki Tower.

But...

buzzing-

The cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated. Conan reacted and immediately took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID.

It's Teacher Judy calling.

drop.

Without thinking too much, he pressed the answer button.

The call was connected and the voice of a female FBI investigator came from the phone.

"Hey Cool Kid, the latest news is that the Osaka Prefectural Police have found Scott Green at the Kyoto High Speed ​​Rail Station and arrested him on the spot."

"Eh?"

Conan was stunned.

Scott Green is Timothy Hunter's former sniper instructor. He currently lives in Tokyo and runs a motorcycle shop. When the first sniper incident occurred, he was listed by the Metropolitan Police Department as one of the people most likely to have contact with Hunter and one of the most likely accomplices and was investigated by the police.

And the vehicle used by the criminal to escape was also a motorcycle, which happened to coincide with Scott Green's job content.

However, according to the investigation results, Scott Green's motorcycle shop only sold new motorcycles, and the vehicle used by the criminal was a stolen motorcycle.

Since the evidence did not match, the subsequent investigation came to nothing.

But the police did not relax their attention on Scott Green.

Now the Osaka Prefectural Police have found Scott Green at the Kyoto High Speed ​​Rail Station, which means...

Thinking of this, Conan's pupils shrank slightly, and a huge possibility suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Is it true that Scott Green is also Hunter's accomplice?"

"accomplice?"

On the other side, Judy Stein, who was still in the Metropolitan Police Department, was also shocked when she heard Conan's words, but she was more confused.

"Conan, what do you mean by 'also an accomplice'?"

"It means literally that Hunter's accomplice is not any of the ones we listed before, but all of them!"

Conan was riding his skateboard and talking loudly to cover the sound of the wind, and his short, stiff hair was blown back by the oncoming airflow.

"It was not long ago that I figured out the meaning of the locations of the criminal's first four sniper attacks. All sniper attacks should not be viewed from a two-dimensional plane, but should be placed in a three-dimensional map and observed from a specific angle..."

As he said this, Conan explained the principle to Judy again.

He continued, "Scott Green has been arrested in Kyoto, Hunter is dead, and the last sniper attack needs someone to be carried out in Tokyo. That means there is another accomplice of Hunter. I think that person is Kevin Yoshino!"

"Is it really him..." Judy gasped on the phone.

"But Conan, what do you mean when you say that everyone is Hunter's accomplice? In addition to Scott Green and Kevin Yoshino, there is one person we listed who is not..."

"Yes, he is one of them, the former commander of the US military and now the consultant of the US military in Japan - Mark Spencer."

Conan continued explaining.

"And Teacher Judy, you also received news that Jack Waltz has left Kyoto, right? He must have been tricked by Kevin Yoshino into coming to Tokyo in some way. As for the name, it must be negotiations or something like that, but a man like Jack Waltz would definitely not play the game of negotiation honestly. There is only one reason why he is willing to come to Tokyo, and that is that he is determined to defeat this accomplice of Hunter, and most importantly... he has received armed assistance from the US military adviser Mark Spencer!"

"Armed assistance..." Judy chewed on these four words and was suddenly shocked. "Could it be!"

"That's right. Mark Spencer deliberately provided assistance to Jack Waltz." Conan confirmed, "He must have met Hunter or other accomplices in private before. All of this was planned. On the surface, he wanted Jack Waltz to get rid of the former American soldier who committed murders in Japan, but in fact, he wanted Hunter to get what he wanted!"

"So that's how it is..." Judy murmured.

"Then where are you now, Conan?" she suddenly asked.

"I'm on my way to the location of the next sniper attack." Conan looked up and saw the Suzuki Tower lit up like a fire tree in the night.

"Although it's just a guess, I'm more than 90% sure..."

……

squeak--

The sound of rusty and hoarse door hinges turning was heard, and Conan appeared on the rooftop of a commercial building near Asakusa Street, and the refreshing night breeze blew on his face again.

In the distance, the majestic tower of the Suzuki Tower is still clearly visible, as if it were right in front of you.

"It should be near here."

Conan muttered to himself. According to his reasoning, if the criminal wanted to present the five-pointed star perfectly to the target, the execution location he chose would only be here.

But where exactly will it be located?

Conan looked around, his gaze jumping to the top of one building after another, while constantly constructing a three-dimensional picture in his mind.

Finally his sight stopped on the top of a building that was still under construction.

The construction of the building seemed to be nearing completion. The basic structure of the building had been constructed. Although the scaffolding was still up, only the final painting work was left. The four big words "Beware of Safety" were written right above the window of the elevator room on the roof.

"Could it be there..."

Conan manually adjusted the zoom function of the smart glasses. After zooming in, he was surprised to find that on the window glass of the elevator room on the top of the construction building, there was a white five-pointed star painted with paint!

And looking from that point, the other four corners of the five-pointed star just correspond to the locations of the previous four sniping attempts, and the top corner points to the observation hall on the first floor of Suzuki Tower!

"really!"

Conan gritted his teeth, but before he could adjust the zoom level of his glasses, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright light in the elevator room, which was obviously from a mobile lighting device such as a flashlight.

That's too late!

The distance between the two buildings is at least ten meters, so it is definitely impossible to jump over them. If you skateboard, you can run and take off, but the prerequisite is to have an upward diving platform.

The problem is that this is the rooftop, where is the diving platform for him?
