…
Time passed quietly.
Hikari Yuki soon heard that Conan was going for the ding dong dash case for Kir. At the same time, no. 12 also posted the interview schedule of Mizunashi Rena in their chat group. This made her realize that it was already time.
The next day, Kurokawa Saki carried her sniper rifle to the designated location.
Their chat group was relatively quiet.
They already knew that today would be the day when Conan stopped the Black Organization from killing Yasuteru Domon, but they have no good way to participate in it.
Moreover, there's no performance requirements this time.
[Megumi Aiko [4]: The police officer didn't originally get involved in this case. I'm not a public security officer and I definitely can't get involved in this case. No, no, no.
Public Security Officer [5]: I don't particularly pay attention to Mizunashi Rena since there's no use of it. We already know that she's an undercover agent from the CIA anyway. The information in her hand isn't that important for me because my undercover agent has been working not far away from her before the mainline.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: … I always felt that your other undercover agents are more useful than me.
Public Security Officer [5]: That's true.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: …
Journalist [12]: I have already told you the schedule and I'm definitely not planning to participate. If there's anyone nearby, just help me to shoot the video, please.
Corrupted FBI [8]: Too far away, I have no time.
High School Student [2]: Hmm, I can set up a camera near the office since I can enter, but it can only show Gin and the others. I don't even know where Akai Shuichi plans to set up his sniper rifle.
Internationally Wanted Criminal [3]: Don't ask me, I'm not going out of my house!
University Student [6]: Give it up unless you want to set up a drone somewhere. Tsk, isn't it enough to watch the anime back then?
Doctor [9]: I'm busy.
Artist [11]: Unfortunately, I can't help either.
Journalist [12]: *sigh* System? Help?]
…
Unfortunately, the system didn't answer them.
After all, it was not a live broadcast system.
Kurokawa Saki ignored this matter and watched calmly from a distance. Aunt Kira was helping her to see the situation through sending her the surveillance camera footage to her phone. Morofushi Hiromitsu and Uncle Kenan were guarding the way out of the building, silently watching and waiting.
While Kurokawa Saki didn't explain how she knew what would happen and why she prepared an ambush in advance, they didn't ask anything. After all, it was not the first time they felt Kurokawa Saki had some kind of information that seemed to have come out of nowhere.
After all, she didn't only have the ghosts but also other information channels.
Since this was only a small operation, they didn't try to get to the bottom of it and simply followed through the motion. If there's any danger, then it'll be the time to return.
"Here they are."
Kurokawa Saki saw Gin and his team coming to the rooftop through the sniper scope. After that, she swept around the area and found Akai Shuichi in the distance.
'900 yards away… it's still within his distance.'
Kurokawa Saki remembered that Akai Shuichi's distance seemed to be 1300 yards away. It might be possible to do more, but she was not entirely sure.
While she herself has the distance of 2500 yards, she has no plans of showing it off to others. It was truly unnecessary.
Especially in this broken Winery where she basically kept her record at 1100 yards away.
It has already placed her as one of the absolute best.
The other snipers were not as good as her.
Besides, no one would want to purposely set longer distances if it was possible to choose shorter one.
So while her record was indeed 1100 yards, she usually did her mission between 500 to 900 yards so as not to make trouble for herself.
Kurokawa Saki watched patiently as Conan kicked his football to the glass, interrupting Mouri Kogoro listening to the horse betting. It was quite hilarious to see such a man could be made famous by Conan.
Then again, he could be somewhat perceptive at times but most times, he really deserved a beating.
'Bang'
Kurokawa Saki saw Akai Shuichi shoot Gin and she immediately shot in his direction, the corner of her lips curling up.
Ah, no. 8 seemed to have noticed her by now and tried to shoot.
Kurokawa Saki tilted her body and moved the sniper rifle slightly, perfectly avoiding no. 8 shot and switched her target to him.
'Distance… 1200 yards, interesting.'
Bang! Bang!
Kurokawa Saki shot twice in succession towards no. 8 and frowned slightly at the recoil. Even though she purposely selected the relatively light sniper rifle with longer reach today, it was still quite a burden to her shoulder if she shot continuously.
Swish!
A bullet missed and nearly scratched her cheek, but Kurokawa Saki remained stable and ignored it. She simply opened fire towards Akai Shuichi again.
Bang! Bang!
After that, Kurokawa Saki ducked and changed the magazine.
This sniper rifle could only fire five times continuously, so she had to change the magazine if she wanted to continue. But from the way it looked like, Gin had escaped, so she should go too.
Kurokawa Saki decided to disassemble the sniper rifle and left within seconds.
The route had been prepared and soon, she disappeared.
…
On the other side, Gin was gritting his teeth after Akai Shuichi shot the transmitter. He proceeded to shoot his sniper scope and his own shot reached the cover below Akai Shuichi.
But Akai Shuichi couldn't continue shooting because he was interrupted.
"Big Brother?"
"Retreat." Gin looked at the two points that had started fighting and could guess who it was.
Sake and that unknown FBI.
It seemed that he had to start paying more attention to them.
And now he owed a favour to Sake.
Tsk.
"Who is it?"
"The best sniper." Gin sneered.
The other party claimed to be on vacation in Japan, but she was given various missions in other cities. Does she also want to be active in Tokyo now?
Either way, he couldn't stop her even if he wanted to.
They quickly retreated.
…
Akai Shuichi grimaced at the first shot from the distance towards him, because the bullet passed by his scalp…
The distance was getting closer to him.
Just as he was prepared to be shot again, the other party stopped and he could see that Josh should have him preoccupied.
How Josh knew and why he came here, Akai Shuichi didn't know.
But it didn't matter.
He shot in Gin direction once again, which was avoided perfectly and then tried to shoot towards that person.
900 yards away, black hair, not sure about the eyes since it couldn't be seen. But the facial features seemed to be quite young.
Bang!
He saw the other party stayed still and then fired twice in his direction.
"Tsk."
One of them grazed his shoulder and the other one missed as he ducked to the side.
"So it's really them."
Akai Shuichi didn't know who the other party was. Either he was transferred from other regions or he has just become famous after he defected.
Either way, the organization having another capable sniper was definitely not good news.
He also had no information about the other party, which put him in disadvantage.
But the corner of his lips curled up slightly in excitement.
"James, try to check the surveillance cameras on…. There's someone there."
Even if he felt that they might not be able to find anything, it's better to try. For now, let's trim his hair and fix this hat.
If this was done on purpose, that sniper really has a bad taste.
