Chapter 815 Raid on the Stone House (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)
In the swamp, raindrops patted on the window eaves of the stone house, which was brightly lit and candlelight flickered.
Sakaki Cheng and others stood on the top of the mountain, quietly overlooking the terrain below.
Several stone houses not far apart were piled together slightly, forming a circle around each other. There was talk and laughter in the house.
through the window
You can vaguely see figures moving inside the house.
"Professor Moriarty obviously did not warn them not to take shelter in the stone house."
Water drops were dripping from the brim of his deerstalker hat. Holmes had a short brown pipe in his mouth, and a gleam flashed in his gray eyes:
"There are 30 people, 4 have been dealt with in advance, and 26 are left. Watson."
"I am here."
"It's hunting time."
"Yes, Holmes, my score will definitely surpass yours this time."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Holmes slowly untied the oilcloth, but did not throw away the oilcloth. The oilcloth was still wrapped around the shotgun, but it became much looser.
Sakaki recognized these two shotguns borrowed from Sir Henry's house. They were Mauser 1871 rifles. This was the world's first rotary pull-back Mauser rifle. It used a magazine to feed ammunition and fire smokeless powder bullets. It is countless times more advanced than the powder guns equipped by the previous army.
This kind of shotgun, because of its long range and high accuracy, was also bought and used as a shotgun by some nobles.
Click.
Holmes and Watson installed the scope on the shotgun, took a test aim, and said:
"Lianye, please."
"Leave it to me."
Karasuma Renye nodded, held the knife with one hand, and walked towards the stone house at the foot of the mountain. His back gave people the feeling of a man who was generous in battle because the wind was rustling and the water was cold.
"He is"
Conan was stunned for a moment:
"Want to go down and make bait?"
"Don't underestimate Renye's swordsmanship. Ever since he can remember, his family has let him practice kendo every day. At the age of 29, he is already a master of the 6th Dan of Kagami Akechi-ryu."
said Holmes, laughing.
"Six paragraphs."
Tilting his head, Conan hesitated and said:
"I remember there are ten levels of swordsmanship, and sixth level is not that high."
"No, he passed the sixth-dan exam because of the age limit. The age required to pass the seventh-dan exam is over 35 years old, which does not represent his strength."
Holmes said calmly:
"As far as I know."
"His current strength has reached the point where a man and a sword can become one. Even the masters of the Kyōshin Achieve Stream have fought to a draw with him. This is because Renye respects the opponent and does not use all his strength."
"Lianye is a genius. Otherwise, how could you not hear a sound when he was standing outside the stone house?"
! ! !
Sakaki and others suddenly remembered that when Holmes returned to the stone house, they clearly heard footsteps coming from outside, but
There is only one!
If Holmes hadn't taken the initiative to invite Karasuma Renye to show up, I'm afraid they wouldn't have known that there was someone outside the door!
Sakaki's back felt cold, and he suddenly remembered that he had murderous intentions when he was sitting in front of Karasuma Renye.
This involves a century-old problem:
Seven steps away, the gun is fast, and within seven steps, with the length of the katana, Qibu has entered his attack range.
“It’s not simple”
Sakaki sighed.
If Karasuma Renye is really as strong as Holmes said, then he is sure that Karasuma Renye has long seen his murderous intention.
But the other party didn't change his tone and continued to talk eloquently, except for his confidence.
There is also concentration that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Sure enough, no one who can create a black organization and plan the fate of the country is good at it.
The wooden clogs stepped on the bridge, making no sound. Only the body tore through the rain curtain. Like a ghost in the shadow, Karasuma Renye came to the back of the stone house, slowly closed her eyes, and began to adjust her breathing.
"You guys wait here."
Putting down Xiao Ai, Sakaki took out two revolvers from his waist, asked Kidd to take out the revolvers he had collected earlier from the sack and threw them to Deya, and then led him down the hillside.
The opponent has a large number of people and possesses modern weapons. Even a real sword master cannot defeat him.
so.
Renya Karasuma needs support.
Holmes and Watson stood on the hillside, looking for a suitable sniper spot, while Sakaki Makoto and Deya came to Karasuma Renye as assaulters.
"Thank you, Lord Sakaki, Lord Deya."
Karasuma Renye said softly:
"Leave this stone house to me."
"good."
Sakaki Cheng and Deya acted separately. Each of them found a stone house with its back to the hillside. They and Karasuma Renya were close friends and could support each other at any time.
The light from the kerosene lamp on the mountain disappeared. This was a signal from Holmes, which meant that they had found a suitable sniper spot and were ready to launch an attack at any time.
Karasuma Renye, who was holding her breath quietly, opened her eyes, her gray pupils lit up, and with her long knife half out, she knocked lightly on the wooden door.
The lively discussion in the room came to an abrupt end. A thin man opened the door and saw Renye Karasuma standing outside the house. He was surprised and said:
"Karasuma? Why are you here?"
clang!
The long knife was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed. The man lowered his head in astonishment, looked at the split and open bloody mouth on his chest, and fell to the ground suddenly as he was filled with doubts and could not ask any questions.
"Bill!"
The long knife was put back into its sheath. After the man died, the room suddenly became chaotic. Several big men rushed up with shouts, took out their guns and were about to pull the trigger, but...
Renye Karasuma bent her knees slightly, crossed her right hand across her body, holding the handle of the knife, hunched over her waist, and recited in a low voice:
"Kagishin Akechi-ryu Ichigo."
The sword flashed in the stone house, and in an instant, the remaining four people all fell to the ground. The kerosene lamp on the table flickered and went out.
The long sword dropped, and Karasuma Renya's wrist shook, and the blood on the blade splashed away. He put away the sword and straightened his waist, with an indifferent expression, as if nothing had happened just now.
Clean and neat.
On the other side, hearing the sound, the other people in the stone house next door also rushed out, but they just bumped into the muzzles of Sakaki Makoto and Deya's guns.
Bang, bang, bang!
A series of gunshots rang out one after another, disturbing the night, and even the rainstorm seemed to be silent.
Deya didn't care about the feelings at all, and aimed at the vital points with every gun. After the opponent fell to the ground, he went up to shoot again.
The loud gunshots completely startled Colonel Moran, who was playing cards. He was shocked and stood up suddenly, asking:
"What's going on?!"
"Everyone, go out and take a look!"
Take the weapons, and more than a dozen men walked out of the stone house, just in time to see Makoto Sakaki and the other two standing in the heavy rain, with several bodies lying behind them.
"Deya? Karasuma?"
Colonel Moran pushed the crowd away, his face changed, and he realized instantly that they had betrayed.
Only in this way.
Professor Moriarty's plan would have loopholes.
"Don't hold back, kill them!"
Colonel Moran immediately raised his gun and gave the order.
Bang!
A bullet hit the back of his hand from top to bottom.
"1."
Holmes held his pipe in his mouth and pulled the bolt:
"This is interesting, Watson."
