Chapter 722 Akai Shuichi: Damn It!

"Can you determine the direction of Gin?"

"On the building over there, facing the observation elevator..." Conan put his hands on Shuichi Akai's back, trying to overcome the shaking caused by running violently, and constantly adjusted the focus button on his glasses, "At 3 o'clock, the other party is setting up a sniper rifle!"

After being quickly grabbed by Iwai Munehisa, the other party soon took the opportunity to hold him on his shoulders and whispered, so Conan learned the true identity of this somewhat mysterious model shop owner.

Thinking of being occasionally taken to Shibuya by Karasawa, they would go to that store hidden in the corner with an inexplicably iron-blooded atmosphere, and the fact of how this FBI agent was active in Tokyo was about to be revealed.

——He also cheated, got a set of disguise, and opened a store on the main street of Shibuya.

He was speechless for a moment, but after all, he had seen his mother's superb disguise skills since he was a child. Conan quickly accepted the true identity of the store owner's confession, and his thoughts quickly shifted to the questions mentioned by the other party.

The explosion of this building is closely related to the organization. The Tokiwa Group is related to a system leak case of Interpol.

The missing chief engineer Yuan Jiaming has some crucial facial information data in his hands, and he forwarded these contents using the server of the Tokiwa Group. He came to today's dinner to track this clue, so it is not difficult to guess what the person who detonated the computer room of the building wants to do.

Combined with Gin and Vodka that Conan saw a week ago, the person who is carrying out the mission against the twin towers is not his imagination.

After the cooperation operation at the dock, the two FBI agents clearly knew his and Huiyuan's identities. Conan certainly understood the other party's intention to reveal their identities at this moment. Using the glasses function that the doctor had helped him improve, he began to concentrate on searching for Gin's traces.

The sniper killed Oki Yansong on the 67th floor of Building B, which means that Gin's position must be extremely high.

Nishitama City is not a downtown area in Tokyo, and high-rise buildings are rare, and Gin's distinctive silver long straight hair is really conspicuous enough at night.

When leaving the safe passage and running in the corridor, Conan locked the other party's position and gave the information in time.

However, at that time, Amuro Toru was still competing with Akai Shuichi, and his eyes were always on the model shop owner who made him feel something was wrong, so Akai Shuichi did not dare to leave the main force rashly, for fear of arousing Bourbon's vigilance.

He also knew that Bourbon's true identity was a Japanese public security officer, but because he knew this, he felt that if Amuro Toru discovered him, the hatred would be moved over immediately.

Looking back now, the meaning of Scotland's death three years ago has subtly changed again.

Akai Shuichi was very sorry that he failed to save this Japanese intelligence officer who was also an undercover, but facing Bourbon who arrived later, what else could he say at that time? Of course, it was to confirm the ruthless character of Rye Whiskey, and he said without hesitation that he did it.

But in Bourbon's eyes, the situation might have become that he rushed to rescue the undercover in the same camp, but he was one step behind Rye Whiskey, which led to Scotland's death in the hands of Akai Shuichi. When Rye's identity was exposed, this impression of cruelty would only deepen, because it looked like stepping on another undercover to add bargaining chips to his own identity.

Scotland's sacrifice was destined to become a barrier between them. Everyone had similar positions, but after all, their backgrounds were very different. Now with this heavy personal grudge, it would be better to hope that Tang Ze would continue to work hard and send more information about Bourbon's investigation to achieve a true mutual benefit and win-win situation than to expect Bourbon not to hate him.

Therefore, Akai Shuichi held back until he ran across the communication bridge first, and waited until Amuro Toru had to go downstairs to send the child and his mother to a safe place, and then he seized the opportunity when the other party turned his attention, rushed into the stairs on the other side, and rushed to the top floor of Building B.

When Shiho Miyano showed up and exposed Gin's gun line, Shuichi Akai, who was holding Conan as a scope, finally found a suitable sniper position and also lit up his gun line.

This scene... How to describe it.

It is unknown what the specific situation of the sniper rifle used by Gin is, but anyway, Keiichi Morifushi and Shuichi Akai used the same model of sniper rifle - the one in Keiichi Morifushi's hand was the FBI equipment that Tang Ze brought back from Shuichi Akai's store.

So when Keiichi Morifushi's bullet grazed Gin's collar, the second red dot, the second red dot that was no different from the previous one, lit up again.

Gin, who was about to fight with the sniper on the opposite side, cursed again and dodged from his original position again.

However, Shuichi Akai's predictive ability was even better than Keiichi Morifushi. When he became the organization's first sniper, Keiichi Morifushi was not dead yet. Now that he has been dead for three years, the gap will only widen further.

So, this time, although there was no Vodka, a teammate who was like a traitor, to interfere, Gin was still injured again.

This time, the location of the injury was more provocative. Akai Shuichi's bullet grazed his temples, not only leaving a bloody mark on the side of his face, but also knocking off a whole lock of his hair.

This injury that almost grazed his temple was still a superficial flesh wound, but it brought Gin an extremely high anger value.

Rather than saying that Akai Shuichi's shot was a lucky graze, it was more like the other party teasingly saying, I can kill you, but I am kind and will spare you this time.

On the top floor of Building B, Conan, who was acting as an observer dutifully, was about to report the result of his shot when he heard Shuichi Akai standing on the side chuckle, as if he had seen everything clearly through the scope.

"It's been a long time since we last met, I really miss you, my old enemy, my lover."

Conan wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat for a moment. Looking at Shuichi Akai's calm expression, who didn't think there was anything wrong with his words, he didn't know where to start for a moment.

I wonder if this is the way Americans express themselves, but thinking about the fact that he is an American, it seems that it may be true. Conan: "..."

Oops, he wanted to understand the organization, not from this perspective!

I don't know if he sensed that his innocence was inexplicably slandered, but the veins on Gin's forehead suddenly bulged.

He raised the sniper rifle again with a gloomy face, and was about to fight back against Shuichi Akai, his confidant, when Vodka, who was hiding aside as an atmosphere group, shouted again.

"Brother! There's one more!"

While shouting, Vodka trembled as he put down the telescope and secretly moved to the stairwell.

Although he knew that the enemies that appeared one after another could not be his problem, based on his experience, it was almost impossible for Gin not to vent his anger on his little brother who was like a mourning bird.

He should not watch it anymore. It was best to run away. After all, he was a civilian staff member, and his brother would not blame him for yo-yoing.

"...Is it over yet!" Gin, who was clearly here to ambush but was completely counter-camped, shouted angrily.

The third bright red aiming point appeared accurately on his forehead at this time.

What a coincidence, it was still FBI equipment, and the specifications were exactly the same.

Because it was Tang Ze himself who took action this time.

Tang Ze, who had no concept of the gun of kindness at all, was murderous. The moment the crosshairs lit up, he was aiming at Gin's eyebrows.

He came here to kill people, and there was no reason to play a slow sniper in the middle door. Almost at the moment when the trajectory was calibrated, he had already pulled the trigger.

Gin also sensed the killing intent from the accurate aiming and the unhesitating shooting. He stared with his eyes, focused his attention instantly, and ducked down quickly, hiding behind the cover while narrowly avoiding Tang Ze's shot.

However, his hat was not so lucky.

The hat dragged down by inertia was instantly pierced, and two neat holes appeared at the bottom of the hat.

Gin looked at the hat that was hit against the concrete pillar, and the cold green light in his eyes flickered.

The opponent's killing intent was so strong that he didn't even choose a target like the torso that was more likely to cause trauma. As long as his reaction was a little slower, even if he was not hit in the head by this shot, it would be impossible for him to avoid injury.

Three snipers were chasing and intercepting from three directions, and he only had himself and a useless vodka, and the only possible backup Bourbon was still playing the crowd mutual assistance there.

The situation was dangerous, and he had to evacuate as soon as possible!

However, since it was confirmed that Shirley was still on this side of the building, and that the damned Phantom Thieves were also there, there was no need to wait any longer.

"Bourbon! What are you waiting for? Detonate immediately!"

————

"What a pity."

Tang Ze, who had already transformed into the form of Jiao Ka, noticed that Gin had collapsed and fled without hesitation, and regretfully smacked his lips and threw the sniper in his hand back into the prop column.

In fact, the transformation time of him and Shiho Miyano had not been completely exhausted, but because he noticed that his teammates and coops began to take subjective initiative and played a fire suppression effect, Tang Ze, who was itching to do it, informed Shiho Miyano without hesitation, and then quickly changed back to his body shape and pulled out the sniper.

Sure enough, Gin, who had undergone enhanced organizational transformation, could not be easily eliminated by simple sniping.

Moreover, Tang Ze looked at his silver hair disappearing in the night, and vaguely felt that if he really killed his skin, the result might be even more uncontrollable.

The image of Gigantamax Cognitive Gin's huge green eyeball looking down at him replayed in his mind. Tang Ze shook his head gently and gave up the idea of ​​immediately mobilizing his teammates to pursue.

He didn't even know the current status of Karasuma Renya, and he hadn't been able to infiltrate and figure out the specific plans and goals of the organization through various channels. He couldn't act rashly.

Some shrill and mournful voices appeared tentatively when he had the idea of ​​being a little reckless. He seemed to have returned to the mysterious space in the subway, listening to the painful howls of wronged souls from nowhere.

He had so many expectations on his shoulders, and the price of recklessness was something he couldn't afford. Be cautious.

"Tang, Tang Ze..." Haibara Ai, who was attacked by severe pain again, lay weakly on his back, "Let's go, if we can't catch him, he will definitely continue to blow up the building..."

"Don't worry, even if the building really explodes, we won't be in trouble." Tang Ze stood up, holding Haibara Ai wrapped in a long skirt in his arms, "At this time, you have to call me joker, Ai."

Haibara Ai clenched her fist weakly and hit Tang Ze's thick scarf.

"Got it, you pretentious guy."

————

The moment the phone was connected, Gin's roar came straight into his ears, and Amuro Toru's ears hurt.

He put the frightened child in his arms on the ground and looked around at the messy crowd.

Tang Ze was not there, and Haibara Ai was not there either.

And Iwai Munehisa and Conan, who he had rushed to grab, were also missing.

Their bomb installation was very complete. After blowing up the machine room and power supply room, the next step was to blow up the communication bridge connecting the two tall buildings.

Then came the banquet hall on the 75th floor. When he was preparing to decorate the banquet hall as a waiter, he installed enough explosives on the bottom of each table and behind the bar cabinet.

The area above the 66th floor was negotiated by Karasawa as Kitagawa Yusuke. He used the excuse that he was bored listening to their transactions and was fine while wandering around. Building B was his handiwork...

The installation diagram of the bomb flashed quickly in his mind, and Toru Amuro narrowed his eyes after counting the few people who were temporarily invisible.

Without waiting for Gin to urge him again, he took out the remote control and pressed the detonation button.

The other half of the remote control is in Tang Ze's own hand. If he presses the button and the bomb detonates directly, it means that Tang Ze's situation is not dangerous and he has pressed the confirmation button there, and vice versa.

Now that you have chosen this plan, just trust Tangze.

The next moment, the communication bridge between the two floors shattered in the explosion of fire.

Large pieces of cement, steel bars and other building materials fell from high altitudes. The people who were leaving the building under the guidance of the fire brigade screamed in fear even though they were far away.

A heavy building of more than ten meters falling from a height of hundreds of meters is like a meteorite capable of destroying the world. People who have never seen this scene with their own eyes can hardly imagine the sense of oppression.

The series of explosions did not end there. Immediately afterwards, the top floor of Building A was enveloped in orange-red vibrations and flames, and broken glass rained down.

The people standing at the bottom of the building raised their heads blankly, watching this scene, and were taken further away by the fire brigade that arrived immediately.

Continuous explosions and fires are destroying the structure of the building. This building, which has cut corners in its approval procedures, is at risk of collapse at any time. For the safety of the people, they should evacuate the entire square of the building as soon as possible and clear this vast area. It was left to the Joban Group, which had created this mess, to figure out how to fix it.

"Xiao Ai, where did Conan go... and... and..." Yoshida Ayumi, who was waiting anxiously downstairs, only saw Dr. A Li, Mao Lilan and others, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

There's also Kitagawa Yusuke, and the other Phantom Thieves of Heart.

They were so active tonight, so they must have been around the venue, and Kitagawa was nowhere to be seen, which meant that the Phantom Thieves probably hadn't escaped either.

Various possibilities kept replaying, but she didn't even dare to say the words "Phantom Thief of Hearts" directly, and she was so anxious that tears were about to fall down.

"Hey, they're not..." Dr. Ali, who was completely dragged down by the police and didn't react at all, was searching among the scattered crowd. He raised his head high and looked at the people on the top of the building and exclaimed again.

Only this time, their exclamations were more of surprise.

Several people subconsciously raised their heads.

In the raging flames, a bright red light seemed to split the moon directly and lit up from the top of the building.

A figure with white hair and black clothes appeared on the edge of the rooftop and jumped from the top of the tall building.

His actions triggered a series of screams from the crowd, and it seemed like he would fall to the ground in the next second and be beaten into a pulp.

However, during the rapid fall, the scarf in his hand flew out and instantly turned into fiery red chains, just like the fire in the building burned all the way to the palm of his hand and turned into a tool of taming.

His fall instantly slowed down, and only then could he finally see clearly that he was holding a little girl wrapped tightly in black cloth in his arms.

"Xiao Ai——! Brother Joker!" Several children jumped up in surprise.

However, their performance does not end here. The end of the Phantom Thieves is naturally not just a one-man show for the joker.

Several light figures jumped up immediately after the joker jumped down, crossing the distance of tens of meters between the two buildings. As if they were no longer constrained by gravity, they were dragged towards B. The dome of the building.

There, Conan and Akai Shuichi, who had left the team to find Gin for sniping, had not yet left.

"Let's go, little detective." Naomi Asai, who grabbed Zhu Fu Jingguang's hook and landed lightly on the ground, moved his arms twice and said kindly, "Do you need us to take you for a ride?"

"You guys are so busy tonight..." Conan, who had already seen Gin being beaten by the Phantom Thieves through his glasses, was speechless for a while.

Another change of heart, another appearance.

Another pursuit of Gin, another high-profile rescue...

Mio Tokiwa's preemptive opening ceremony may indeed have been successful in a sense. Tomorrow morning's headlines in major newspapers must be inseparable from her twin towers.

"Now is not the time for small talk." Miyano Akemi glanced at Shuichi Akai, who was standing silently behind Conan, and did not answer Conan's words. "They plan to blow up the entire building this time. Hurry up, the next one The wave explosion will begin in less than a minute."

Conan was grabbed by the scruff of Asai's neck and left. However, the tall Shuichi Akai always had trouble getting started and just grabbed him, so Morofuku Jingguang, who was about to take him down, thought for a moment and raised his hand. He pulled off the goggles on his face.

Mask users cannot summon a persona visible to others in the real world, but they can still remove the mask from their face through the action of summoning. Karasawa often does this.

"Long time no see... Rai."

Seeing the Phantom Thieves of Heart approaching in a black mass, Akai Shuichi was about to test them: "?!"

This, he just saw the hostility of Amuro Toru and said a few words of regret for Scotland who died young, and now he is immediately like a ghost? !
