Chapter 436 Lover, No, Ex-lover
Gin still hasn't figured it out. Not to mention those who have shown up, Gil has been lurking in the Nichiren TV station for a long time and has shown no signs of being exposed.
Why was she discovered only during this operation? It is even possible that she was killed.
The only thing that could come to mind was that there was a traitor in the organization, who leaked the information that Rena Mizunashi was Kiel to the famous detective.
The people around him probably won't do that, not to mention Vodka. After so many years of using him, although he does make stupid mistakes sometimes, he is undoubtedly his most trusted subordinate.
Chianti and Cohen are also unlikely. Although both of them have character problems, their loyalty is guaranteed.
As for Vermouth... this woman is indeed annoying, but she won't do anything to betray the organization.
Gin's thoughts raced, and soon a figure with short golden hair flashed through his mind -
Before this operation, the man suddenly said that he had to leave Tokyo for something.
Gin didn't think much about it at first, he just thought that it was a mission assigned to him by his superiors, but now thinking back, his departure seemed too much of a coincidence.
Could it be that he was the one who leaked the information?
Gin wanted to question the boss, but given his status and protective personality, the most likely thing he would do is just shrug off his words and say, "Is this how you do things?"
Gin wouldn't ask for trouble.
So the only way now is to ask Kogoro Mori who the traitor is.
However, Kogoro Mouri seemed not to have heard what Gin said and continued looking at the thing in his hand.
Gin sneered: "If you understand, raise your left hand that is on the earphone..."
"10,9···"
"Yuya!" Conan couldn't help but shout, "Please don't cheat me!"
“10,9,8···”
While Gin was counting down, Yuya also started counting down, and his cell phone dialed a number without him noticing.
“3,2,1···”
"3,2, , shoot!"
Yuya ordered calmly and quickly.
Shoot? Who should shoot? Conan was stunned.
Vermouth opened her mouth to stop it, but...
"biu!"
"Crack!"
"boom!"
A bullet shot from the air and shattered the bug that Gin was holding in his hand, then hit the railing and bounced off to an unknown place.
Gin's face changed and he subconsciously looked at the marks left on the railing.
"Behind, at eight o'clock!" Cohen instantly determined the direction from which the bullet came.
Chianti immediately raised his gun and observed through the scope, and soon found a location that matched the trajectory: "It's that building!"
Vodka's expression suddenly changed: "How is that possible? That building is at least 700 yards away!"
"Give me the gun!"
Gin knew very well that with Chianti and Cohen's sniping range, 600 yards was the limit, and there was no way he could engage in a gunfight with the sniper. He immediately snatched the sniper rifle from Cohen's hand and looked through the scope.
Soon, he saw that very familiar face on the roof of the building.
"Akai...Shuichi?"
Gin was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted and wanted to shoot, Akai Shuichi had already pulled the trigger. The bullet instantly traveled 700 yards and shattered the scope of the sniper rifle in his hand.
The bullet grazed Gin's cheek, leaving a bloody mark, and the blood slowly flowed down along the mark.
Gin's face instantly turned extremely dark. There was nothing more humiliating than having his scope shattered during a sniper duel!
Gin, whose scope was shattered, was naturally unable to fight back. Chianti raised his gun and aimed decisively, but the distance of 700 yards was still a bit difficult for her. Every bullet seemed to hit Akai Shuichi, but it could only hit the wall next to him weakly.
"We meet again, my lover... No, it should be my ex-lover." Akai Shuichi raised a victorious smile and pulled the trigger again and again.
Gin was shot twice and staggered back a few steps but finally stood firm. Fortunately, he was wearing a bulletproof vest, but he suffered internal injuries due to the impact of the bullets, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Brother!" Vodka was so frightened that his sunglasses almost fell off. He hurriedly came up to support Gin.
"Akai Shuichi... I see." Gin smiled as if he saw through everything. Is this all a trap you set?
He said in a deep voice: "Retreat!"
Chianti hesitated, "But the detective..."
"Don't worry about him, let's go!" Shuichi Akai is lying in ambush here, which means there must be FBI people nearby. It will be troublesome if we are surrounded by them.
Several people went downstairs quickly, and two cars drove out of the alley and sped along the road.
In the car, Vodka was very shocked: "What, brother, you said the person who just fired the gun was Akai Shuichi?"
Gin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief (Japanese people really like to use handkerchiefs, even Gin is no exception), and said coldly: "Yes, we were plotted against."
"If he hadn't predicted that we would come here, he wouldn't have been able to ambush and snipe us there."
Vodka immediately guessed, "Could it be that Maori Kogoro has teamed up with the FBI?"
Vermouth finally had a chance to interrupt, and said with a slightly sarcastic tone: "This should be impossible. For the FBI, Maori Kogoro is just a bait to lure us into a trap. Otherwise, with their style, they will not let their companions fall into danger."
"After they separated, the FBI installed a bug in Kiel's car. Before she met up with us, didn't she also say that a strange car was following her?"
"When Kiel loses contact, we will naturally suspect that the operation has been leaked. Once we check, we will find the bug in Kiel's car. Naturally, we will suspect Maori Kogoro, who had contact with Kiel before, and then Akai Shuichi will ambush in that building..."
With some forced reasoning, Vermouth barely gave a reasonable truth to what happened.
Gin sneered: "Let's just take it as it is. After all, Maori Kogoro is your favorite detective."
Since this matter seems to have nothing to do with Kogoro Mouri, there is no need for Gin to hold on to a famous detective. Given his good relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department, killing him at will might cause a lot of trouble, which is inconsistent with the organization's low-key principle.
Gin could also do a favor for Vermouth, so he put the matter aside for the time being, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep puff.
"So, has Kiel fallen into the hands of the FBI?" Vodka asked with some concern.
"It does seem possible at the moment," Gin exhaled a puff of smoke and said coldly, "We must find her no matter what means we use."
···
On the other side, Shuichi Akai, Yuya and others also joined together.
Conan glanced at the suitcase at Shuichi Akai's feet and fell into a brief silence: Why does he look like he just came back from a trip?
Akai Shuichi glanced at Conan and said to Yuya calmly: "I rushed here as soon as I got off the plane."
"Ah, thank you very much." Youye smiled and added the two words "brother-in-law" with his mouth.
Akai Shuichi twitched the corner of his mouth, opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
Conan couldn't help but observe this man and found that he... seemed to smile?
