Akai Hideichi slowly walked out of the corridor, his eyes like will-o'-the-wisps at night glanced at the group of people standing at the entrance of the corridor at the moment.

Xinzi's heartbeat reached his throat in an instant, and his nerves tensed up.

Akai Hideichi lightly spit out the cigarette butt he was holding in his mouth, and the smoke was lingering... turning around and walking towards the trash can next to him.

Open the lid of the trash can;

Throw the garbage bag in your hand into it;

Close the lid of the trash can.

After completing the trilogy, Hideo Akai put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned and went upstairs.

...So, you just came downstairs to throw out the trash?

Xinzi suddenly had an embarrassing feeling that he had frightened himself.

...But this honor looks really suspicious!

"Where is it...?"

At this time, Xinzi heard Xiaolan muttering to herself beside her, raised her head subconsciously and asked:

"Sister Lan, what's wrong? What's 'where'?"

Xiaolan frowned:

"Uh...it's nothing, but I always feel that I seem to have seen that man before."

Hearing what Xiaolan said, Xinzi's first reaction was... Maybe he saw it at the scene of some robbery or bombing?

However, Xiaolan is usually with her every time she encounters a case. In her criminal case records so far, it seems that there is no such person.

On the side, Mori Kogoro also suggested that Katagiri Junichi take him to the apartment where he lived. Since the attacker already knew the address of his residence, there is no guarantee that he would not do anything to his apartment.Moreover, the old-fashioned apartment in this area does not seem to be very safe. At least he needs to help him increase the safety factor of the apartment.

Katagiri Junichi didn't say much, and led a group of people upstairs.

……

After standing still in front of the apartment door, when Katagiri Junyi took out the key and was about to open the door, Xinzi pointed to the apartment door next to him:

"Hey, hey, Brother Katagiri, that gentleman in black just now lives in this room, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Katagiri Jun nodded.

Then, the door of his apartment was opened, and the scene that greeted his eyes——

This small apartment is a mess!Everyone who saw this scene also subconsciously exclaimed.

I saw that the glass was smashed to pieces and riddled with holes.Many things in the room were also smashed, and all kinds of things in the room rolled to the ground in a mess.

After the first second of shock, Katagiri Junichi, who had always looked calm no matter what he did, rushed into the room like crazy, and hurriedly picked up the drawing paper all over the floor.

At this time, Xinzi noticed that there were many art tools in Katagiri Junichi's room, as well as many paintings of various types.At this moment, many of the finished or semi-finished paintings on the ground were messed up by the fallen paint.

In short, it was all destroyed.

Seeing Junichi Katagiri's appearance, she cherished these paintings very much. She didn't know that Junichi Katagiri had art expertise at all before, and she looked quite professional.

"Too, it's too much... Who did it!" Xiaolan looked at the miserable situation in the room, and couldn't help saying angrily, how distressed the painter would be if they saw this.

At this moment, Junichi Katagiri completely ignored other things, and devoted himself to these damaged paintings, trying to recover some losses as much as possible, but it was obviously in vain.

After Xinzi sniffed hard, "Hey, do you smell the smell of cigarettes in the room?"

"Smoke? There is indeed..." Maori Kogoro also smelled it, and in the next second, he immediately remembered something and said, "That man just now, yes, is your neighbor next door. Doesn't he just smoke! And just now I saw him The movements of holding a cigarette and exhaling it are definitely a smoker who never leaves his hand!"

Uncle Maori, who is also a smoker, is 100% sure that that person is definitely the same kind!

"However, you can't suspect others just because of this." Xiaolan felt that this could not be used as evidence at all.

"Ah, even if it's not him, but as a neighbor, if there is such a big commotion next door, he can always hear something."

While speaking, Kogoro Mori had already gone out to knock on the door next door, and Xiaolan followed in a hurry.

Xinzi squatted down to look carefully at the things on the ground, and was too confused by the shocking scene in the room just now... In fact, the "weapon" of the destruction was obvious.

Picking up a small but not too small stone from the ground, Xinzi held it in his hand and weighed it, it was quite heavy.Looking at the messy stones scattered elsewhere on the ground, and then looking up at the smashed window, there is no doubt that the person who caused the trouble threw stones from the outside, and then made the room look like this .

Xinzi carefully touched the stone in his hand again... well, it was sticky, as if something had stuck to it.

"...I don't know what happened, I just returned to the apartment half an hour ago."

Just as Xinzi was thinking, a hoarse but magnetic voice came from behind him, but the low tone made people feel... not so kind.

Xinzi, who was squatting on the ground, turned around slowly, raised his head and looked at the other party... It really was the man in the knitted hat with an unfriendly face!

Mori Kogoro saw Shinko standing there like a doll, and said:

"What are you doing again?"

And this voice finally brought Xinzi back to his senses, and he quickly raised his innocent smile, and happily held up the stone in his hand:

"Hey, hey, Uncle Kogoro! Look, there are a lot of stones in the room! So Brother Katagiri's room must have been smashed with stones to make it look like this!"

Before Mori Kogoro could make a sound, Akai Shuichi, who had been staring at the broken glass window as soon as he entered the door, turned his gaze to Xinzi, and stretched out his left hand towards Xinzi and said:

"Little devil, let me see this."

Shinko was staring at Akai Hideichi's outstretched left hand, and when Xinzi waited to react, the stone in his hand had already been taken away by the other party.

After glancing at the stone, Akai Hideichi asked:

"Little ghost, do you still remember where you picked up this stone from?"

"Huh?" Although he was a little surprised that the other party would ask such a question, Xinzi, who has always had a good memory, naturally remembered it. He raised his finger and pointed to a place beside him, "It's from here."

To this, Akai Hideichi did not give any reply, but after scanning the other stones on the ground, he asked again:

"Have you moved the other stones in this room?"

"No, they are all in their original positions..."

As soon as Xinzi finished speaking, Akai Hideichi walked unhurriedly to the tattered window glass, looked into the distance for a few seconds, and pointed in one direction:

"There, the stone was thrown from the third room from the west on the fourth floor of the row of apartment buildings behind."

Hearing the indifferent but positive tone, Xinzi was a little stunned... What kind of operation is this?She hasn't even started reasoning yet!

Could this guy be able to tell where the stone was thrown from just by the shape of the broken window glass and the position of the stone that fell on the ground?Think of you as an experienced sniper!

No, speaking of snipers...

Xinzi originally focused his attention on the man in the knitted hat, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he found some small things on the floor.

Immediately lay down on the ground and took out the small piece of cardboard under the table.Then, after a carpet search in this small room, many such small pieces of cardboard were indeed found.If you knock it, you can knock out a little bit of nitrate inside.

He knew it already, but Xinzi still had to show the innocence of a child, and held up this pile of small pieces of cardboard in front of Mori Kogoro like a treasure offering:

"Uncle Maori, look! It's the kind of toy called 'Smashing Cannon'! There are many, many! But the teacher said that this kind of thing is very dangerous, and it is best for children not to play with it."

And seeing the wreckage of the scraps of paper left behind by these playing games, Kogoro Mori understood instantly:

"Ah! No wonder there is a smell of smoke! It's the smoke from the explosion of these cannonballs. This room is so small, and so many cannonballs have been dumped, the smell must be heavy!"

Next, Xinzi continues to play her little naive role:

"Ah, that's right, that's right, I felt a bit sticky on the stone just now! Isn't that right, this hat-wearing... Uncle, have you felt it yet?"

The man in the knit hat seemed too old to be able to handle the address. Between the choice of "brother" and "uncle"... Facing this face, Xinzi chose "uncle".

Akai Shuichi didn't pay much attention to the title "Uncle", but his green eyes looked at Xinzi with an unpredictable expression.

On the other side, Mori Kogoro activated his brain cells again:

"So that's how it was. The rock thrower tied the cannon and the rock together and threw it over. When it hit the ground, the cannon naturally exploded!"

Then, Mori Kogoro would take a group of people to the building in the back row to confront the person who did such a bad thing.

Xinzi, who was walking at the back, stared at Akai Shuichi's back in front of him.

If you look closely, this person is a bit high and low, and the left eye looks brighter than the right eye.Also, the hand he just stretched out has obvious calluses at the heel, the first joint of the finger, and the joint between the hypothenar and the wrist.

These are the marks left by someone who has held a gun for a long time, and a left-handed shooter at that.

Coupled with his ability to judge just like a professional senior sniper, this person, after all...

...Sure enough, it is very likely that he is an accomplice of that organization!

As if aware of the gaze observing him, Akai Shuichi, who had already walked to the door, turned around suddenly, and looked at the little girl behind him with an innocent expression at the moment.

And at this moment when they suddenly looked at each other, Xinzi... was frightened again as expected.

... If you look at me like that again, I really want to call the police!Brothers of the Metropolitan Police Department!Come escort!

The author has something to say: Xinzi: This guy is definitely a good material to be an undercover spy. Should the National Security Bureau consider it?

Winery senior undercover bourbon/public security ace Jiang Guling: Oh.

Xinzi: This guy looks like a professional and experienced sniper, and he is probably an accomplice of those men in black!

Former distillery employee Rye Whiskey/Sniper NO.1 in the world of Ke Xue Shuichi Akai: Oh.

Xinzi: ...cough cough, this shows that our scarlet group has a tacit understanding.
