Chapter 1137: Villa in the Forest (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

Seeing that Sakaki was determined to go up the mountain, Ota Shozo couldn't say anything more. He secretly said that life and death were determined by fate, and he was completely benevolent and could not control anything more.

Stuffing the banknotes into the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket, Shozo Ota took out the half-drunk bottle of wine from his arms, took a swig, wiped the corners of his mouth with his dirty sleeves, and said viciously:

"If you go further, you need to cheer up. Let's go."

After climbing over the wooden sign in the middle of the road ahead with "No Entry" written in red letters, the three of them officially entered the area behind the mountain.

Ota Shozo has a sense of responsibility and has no intention of backing down. He goes into the mountains as he says. He still carries the shotgun to open the way ahead, and the hatchet on his waist flashes with a cold light.

Sakaki held MK23 in one hand and held Hongshu in the other. After climbing for more than half an hour, Hongshu was already a little exhausted. He had been staying in the room all the time and was never good at strenuous exercise. But at this moment, he was stunned. He gritted his teeth and followed without saying a word.

In this kind of deep mountains and old forests, Noah's Ark can't be of much help, so you have to rely on yourself for everything.

After entering the back mountain range, the originally full cell phone signal began to weaken. It would decrease by one bar every 100 meters. When we reached the back, it directly changed to an X number, and we could not make any calls.

Suddenly, Ota Shozo stopped, raised his hand to stop Sakaki and Makoto, walked slowly to the side of the tree, and untied a grenade wrapped with piano wire.

"ah"

Seeing the grenade, Hongshu was startled and stammered:

"Why is there such a thing in this place?"

"It's a trip mine, a trap to prevent people from entering the mountain."

Ota Shozo checked the surroundings and made sure there were no more traps, then he picked up the grenade and said:

"It seems that those people have been in there for a while, and this thing is used to report credit."

"Who would use a grenade as a flare?!"

"Afraid? It's still too late to turn back now."

"No, don't be afraid!"

Hongshu said with a white face:

"We are going to save people!"

Looking at Otaso Sanma's movements, Sakaki said curiously:

"Mr. Ota has good eyesight. Have you been engaged in related industries before?"

"I served as a soldier for several years, and later I used my pension to open a tavern in the city. Unfortunately, I picked up some bad habits when I was a soldier. I couldn't control myself and loved gambling, so the shop failed."

Regarding his past experiences, Ota Shozo didn't want to mention it too much. After eliminating the trap, he moved forward.

The further you go, the more steep the road becomes. There are a lot of rocks under your feet. The dirt road gradually disappears and is overgrown with weeds, leaving only two ruts that are neither long nor wide.

The ability to leave ruts in the weeds indicates that someone often rides into the mountains. The purpose is probably to deliver food to the mother and son. Sakaki Cheng increasingly feels that the boss has sinister intentions. No matter what the mother and son have done, they are treated like prisoners. Imprisoned in the mountains, what's the difference between them and livestock?

But then I thought about it, what Boss did was completely isolate the mother and son. Without Kiel's guidance, I'm afraid Domon Yasuki would never be able to find Fujimi Village in his life.

After walking for another ten minutes, it was past 9 pm, and a dark cloud came over Gunma County. Thunder was rolling in the clouds, as if it would rain heavily at any time.

The moment the moonlight disappeared, Sakaki saw an old villa appearing in the distance, sitting on the edge of a cliff. A dead crooked-neck tree poked out of the wall, and a few dark crows rested on it.

"How does it look like a haunted house!"

Hongshu shrank his neck, not daring to step forward:

"There must be a ghost in there!"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just a crooked-necked tree. What's there to be afraid of?"

Sakaki Cheng hummed:

"Those crows are a bit strange."

"Crow? Are crows weird?"

"Crows are scavengers, and they are very smart. They like to gather in areas with abundant food. Now that it is going to rain, most birds will hide in the forest to take shelter from the rain. This is their nature, but they landed on the crooked-neck tree. There are more and more crows. What situation would make a creature go against its own nature?"

Hongshu was stunned in place, unable to answer.

"That's right. Judging from my experience, the crows gather in a bunch uncharacteristically. I'm afraid they have discovered their prey."

Ota Shozo nodded, raised his hand and pointed at the crooked neck tree:

"You see that there are more and more crows on the tree, but they are not moving. This shows that there is a risk around the food. The crows will not fly down to eat until everything has settled and the predators have left. It seems that your companions are still alive. Not dead, but half of his feet have stepped into Naraku."

"Thanks for showing the way. You can go back."

Glancing at Ota Shozo, Sakaki walked towards the villa. Hongshu followed him with his bag on his back, turning around every step of the way.

The distance between the two parties was getting farther and farther. Shozo Ohta was drinking wine, looking at the sky and the villa not far away, with no intention of helping.

He didn't want to get involved in this muddy water. The money Sakaki Cheng gave was indeed a lot of money, but it was just for guiding the way, not enough to make him work hard.

Now that the place has arrived, there is nothing left for him to do, so why not take a rest and watch a good show.

"Brother, brother! Please walk slower!"

After a long journey, Hongshu staggered to catch up with Sakaki. He was exhausted and used all his strength. However, the backpack on his body was too heavy, and Sakaki was walking faster and faster, so he couldn't catch up.

"Don't follow me. Find a safe place to hide."

Getting closer and closer to the villa, Sakaki also heard the gunshots coming from inside. He knew that Miss Miyano and others must have got into trouble with the killer sent by the Boss. This was not good news.

Regardless of whether it is Kidd, Conan, Miss Miyano, Hattori Heiji, Akai Mari, or Sera Masumi, what they are best at is not fighting. How long can they persist in the face of a killer who is as fierce as a wolf and a tiger?

What's more, the enemy is a surprise attack and is very likely to carry explosive weapons, which makes it even more difficult to deal with.

The more intense the gunfire in the villa, the more crows gathered on the crooked neck tree. Finally, they were standing on dead branches, flapping their wings, staring at the yard with their dark eyes.

The gunfire occurred in the villa. Sakaki looked at his feet. After not finding the mine tripping device, he walked into the courtyard. The walls of the towering villa were mottled, revealing gray-white sand. Several people were lying in the courtyard. His chest floated slightly, and he was still alive at first glance.

Quickly walking to a man in black, Sakaki helped him up. When he saw that the man did not look like a bodyguard dressed like Yasuki Domon, he immediately took off his sunglasses and said:

"Brother, are you okay? I'm Suzi. Boss sent me to support you. How's the situation?"

"Susuz"

The man in black was shot in the shoulder. Although it hurt, it did not affect his speech. Seeing that the other person was indeed Suzi, he felt hopeful:

"You're here just in time for someone to betray the organization, be careful of the housekeeper! Others have already rushed in. I'm fine. Go and help!"

"I understand, have a good rest."

Sakaki smiled at him, laid him down on the ground, then raised the MK23, pointed it at his head, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!
