The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

The bullets carrying great kinetic energy came from a high place, as if they were carrying sharp moonlight. Before Akai Shuichi could react, a few drops of blood had already fallen on his face.

Tang Ze's voice in the headphones was one step behind him, and it was only then that it was late.

Even knowing that Karasawa was ambushing somewhere and setting up a sniper, he didn't have time to react. Calvados, who didn't even notice that he was approaching, was even less likely to give any feedback. The next moment, his body fell limply in front of Akai Shuichi.

Calvados died, shot to death by Karasawa without hesitation.

Akai Shuichi raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the gun line.

The tall shadow of the hanging tower is cast on the stack of containers. The silent industrial behemoth at night is like a cliff. It is impossible to see Tang Ze's figure dozens of meters away.

But this is not the case for Tang Ze, who acts as an observer from a high position. From his perspective, he must be able to have a panoramic view of all the situations below.

In other words, this shot was actually unnecessary. He knew very well that even if he did not fire this shot, Calvados would be subdued by him in the next second.

But Tangze fired the shot anyway, without wavering or hesitating, and his tone of voice was the same as usual.

There was no negative feedback caused by the murder, nor the excitement and joy of successful revenge. Only his gentle breathing with a steady frequency could be heard in the communication.

Is this the child who insists on staying and decides on everything by himself...

There were not only the two of them in the communication, but also Judy who participated in the plan and was cooperating with the performance below. So Shuichi Akai didn't say anything, he just bent down and widened his eyes slightly, not realizing what happened at the last moment. All the guns he had on him were recovered from Calvados' body.

This was Karasawa's own choice, and whether he was faithfully following Kumail's role or acting as an undercover agent to cover his companions, his shot was understandable.

Then there are some things that need no further explanation.

Pulling away Calvados' ammunition from his waist, Shuichi Akai grabbed the edge of the container with one hand, slid down, and landed silently on the ground.

In this drama, each of them has their own role to fulfill.

Now that Karasawa had completed his duties, it was his turn.

----

The sound of sniper rifle fire echoed in the quiet dock area, and the sound of another gunshot close overhead stopped.

Listening to Kumail's calm and indifferent voice in the earphones, Belmod finally breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at Mao Lilan who was lying on the ground, completely ignoring the gunshot above his head.

"boom--"

In the moment when she was distracted, Judy, who had already crawled to the bunker, fumbled for the pistol again, raised her hand, and immediately shot her gun-holding arm.

"Hiss..." There was a stinging pain on his arm. Belmode covered the injury caused by the arrow with his backhand, and looked back with a frown.

"This is a blind spot for snipers!" Judy said loudly, breathing heavily, "Put down the gun, otherwise the next blow will be to the head!"

Belmore turned his head and stared coldly in Judy's direction.

The biggest threat to these children has been resolved. Now, Cool Guy is unconscious after being hit by an anesthetic needle. Angel has a certain ability to resist, but looking at her blank mind and acting completely according to instinct, you know that she is not a threat now. to their actions.

Judy didn't know yet that Calvados had been killed and that the real sniper came from another direction, a direction that could easily kill her.

"It's too early to be happy, Miss Stelling." Belmode turned around, her long golden hair stained with blood floating in the night wind, "Okay, let Kumail use his best ability, Let me say hello to you..."

Before she gave the order, a sound of mechanical collision came from the gap between the two containers behind Judy.

Belmode, who was very familiar with this, widened his eyes.

This is the sound of a firearm being loaded, and it is an extremely powerful shotgun...

How is it possible, Calvados, isn't it already...!

"Who are you looking for, that guy named Calvados?"

A tall figure emerged from the shadows, Akai Shuichi, carrying a sniper rifle on his back and the shotgun on his shoulder, walked out slowly.

"A shotgun, a sniper, and three pistols. This doesn't look like a sniper, he's basically an arms dealer."

"A-Akai Shuichi?!" Bermod was stunned, "Shouldn't you be..."

"Should I be on that ship, step on the stage you designed and dance to your rhythm? Who are you looking down on, Belmod." Shuichi Akai, who had completely stepped out of the shadows, curled his lips.

He had a calm demeanor, a spear on his shoulder, and his voice was sharp and cold without a hint of laughter, no different from before he left in a hurry a few months ago.

Because this guy is considered a substitute for Gin, he is considered to be at the top of the organization in all aspects, especially in terms of ability.

It should be said that writing Akai Shuichi's name into the liquidation list related to the Karasawa family is more of a deliberate revenge than a genuine belief that there is a problem with the other party. The reason for doing so is actually to use it for the other party. stumbling block.

——After all, the organization completely ignored her status, and there were not many people who hindered her in every way. Shuichi Akai and Gin were among them.

Therefore, when the investigation gradually deepened and it became clear that Akai Shuichi's identity was really unclear, and even in the end, when he just stopped doing anything and attacked Gin directly, everyone was in disbelief.

A guy who looks like the reincarnation of Gin is actually an FBI agent. Who would believe him?

However, even if he knew his true identity, facing Akai Shuichi like this, Bellmode was no less vigilant than when facing Gin.

There was a line of blood smeared on the side of his face, and small drops of blood splashed along his sharp cheekbones, adding a bit of danger to his handsome, slightly gloomy face.

The amount of blood was not large, it didn't look like there had been some kind of sharp-edged struggle, it looked more like...

Belmode, who pointed the gun at him, was heartbroken.

"Are you looking for your other sniper?" Shuichi Akai tilted his head, "Don't waste your time."

Only then did Belmod realize the strangeness he had felt since just now.

Ever since he hit Calvados and killed him, Kumail in the channel has been a little too quiet.

"Could it be that you gave him..."

Akai Shuichi had no intention of answering, and said to himself: "Calvados is a distilled liquor made from apples. As a companion to rotten apples, it is quite suitable."

His tone of voice was very calm, but Belmode heard another sarcasm full of murderous intent.

When he was in the organization, due to his excellent sniper ability, Shuichi Akai never showed disdain towards other snipers in the organization. When they had to perform tasks together, there were often signs of differences.

So at the beginning, the reason why another undercover Scotch died in the hands of Rye Whiskey was generally believed by the organization to be because the two had participated in several missions as snipers, and Ley had been disdainful of Scotch for a long time.

...Now, assuming his undercover status, this behavior makes Akai Shuichi even more dangerous.
