Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 371 Akai Shuichi: Where are my teammates?
Shotgun...

Ireland's face turned grim, "Hey Gin! Are you still listening? Hey!"

He remembered that none of his men had brought shotguns, and the FBI agents didn't have any either, which meant...

Either it is in the hands of those people who hid it more carefully before, or it is the one that Gin just mentioned.

Shuichi Akai!

"Oh! Shit!"

Suddenly, someone's angry curse came from the headphones.

Ireland clenched his gun tightly, pressed his earphone with his other hand, and said in a deep voice, "How are you guys?"

"I--"

The member who had just cursed only said one word, and the sound suddenly stopped, and at the same time there was a "bang" sound...

Immediately afterwards, a burst of noise came from Ireland's headphones, and communication with other people was completely cut off.

"...boil it!"

Ireland couldn't help it after all and cursed viciously.

He just couldn't figure it out. Everything was fine before, how could such an accident happen all of a sudden? ?
"Since Shuichi Akai is here...what the hell is Chablis doing!" Cursing inwardly, Ireland listened to the continuous gunshots and sporadic footsteps and immediately decided to evacuate first.

If possible, he would definitely like to take his people with him, but the problem is...

The sniper has most likely been eliminated, otherwise we wouldn't have heard any sniping sounds until now.

He also suspected that the organization was tricked by the FBI this time?
Ireland relied on his memory to move gradually outwards through a pile of identical containers - he did not move very fast, and basically stayed in the blind spots that his sniper had observed before.

He couldn't guarantee that there were no snipers among the remaining FBI personnel.

"...Wait." Ireland paused and suddenly leaned on the edge of two containers, noticing something unusual.

A drop of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Not right.

Why did it suddenly become so quiet?

The port, which was originally filled with the sound of gunfire, seemed to have been paused. All the previous chaos stopped, and it became eerily quiet in the night.

"Oh, Akai Shuichi... that guy still has some people!"

Ireland's expression suddenly became serious. He immediately raised his pistol and looked around carefully and quickly.

"Akai Shuichi! I know you've been following me, right? Get out here!"

He suddenly roared into the silent darkness.

After he finished shouting, the surroundings remained quiet for a few seconds.

After a short while, there was a very slight sound of footsteps coming from the front and left of Ireland's position.

"You were able to notice something unusual... It seems my guess was right. You must be the commander, right?"

In the shadow of the container, a man walked out slowly carrying a shotgun. He was wearing a knitted hat on his head and had a tuft of curly bangs hanging down on his forehead.

This person's appearance is someone that almost all members of the organization have seen on the list of people who must be eliminated: the FBI's ace, Shuichi Akai.

Ireland snorted and pointed the gun at him, "Akai Shuichi... you're confident? You dare to show up alone?"

"Sorry, I'm not alone." Akai Shuichi also turned the gun towards him with a calm expression, "My companions have surrounded this place, you can't escape... By the way, your companions should be unable to move, so you should be the one who is alone."

Shuichi Akai looked at Ireland, walked a distance away, and leaned against the container, revealing an inexplicable confidence.

Ireland was mentally prepared for this situation and was not too panicked, but his face looked a little gloomy.

Seeing that he was silent, Akai Shuichi spoke again: "Well, since you can't escape now, why don't you surrender? I am very interested in your actions this time."

"..." Ireland was silent for a while, then suddenly grinned, "You wish!"

He pulled the trigger without warning and rushed towards the road he had just come from - if they were surrounded, then the manpower towards the dock must be weaker!
This way, he would have a chance to escape! However, Ireland thought too well...

It was as if Shuichi Akai had been cheating. He actually predicted his actions in advance, avoided the bullet in advance, and then aimed at the position in front of Ireland and fired in anticipation.

Fortunately, Ireland reacted a little faster and stepped to the side based on his anticipation of crisis, thus avoiding the situation where all the bullets hit his lower abdomen.

But it still left a bloody hole in his side.

"Damn it!"

The impact of the shotgun blast caused Ireland to stagger a few steps before he could steady himself.

At this time, the other party fired another shot at his hand, knocking the only pistol in his hand out and almost breaking his hand.

Seeing Ireland's ferocious expression, Shuichi Akai knew that he would not give in so easily.

You can only beat him up first.

Shuichi Akai pointed the gun at Ireland's legs and was about to pull the trigger.

At this moment, suddenly, another unusual gunshot sounded from behind him, and he instantly tilted his head according to his instinct -

'clang--'

The bullet penetrated the iron wall of the container, making a loud noise.

Shuichi Akai stared at the hole which was ten centimeters away from his head, his pupils shrank slightly. Just as he was about to look in the direction of the bullet's trajectory, he suddenly felt something hard pressing against the back of his head.

Akai Shuichi: "..."

Oh, has he been surrounded?

But didn’t he just confirm that there was no one nearby?

"do not move."

When Shuichi Akai wanted to turn around to see who was so powerful, the hoarse voice gave him goosebumps.

But he still insisted on turning his head and saw clearly who it was.

——A face with several scars, long black hair, and a sleeveless vest on a cold day.

He looked familiar. It seemed he had seen him before on the hijacked bus...

"It's actually you."

Akai Hideichi's eyes flickered, but his face remained calm.

He had noticed that this person was full of murderous intent, but he thought he was a mercenary or a bounty hunter. Unexpectedly...

"I didn't expect you to be related to this organization." Akai Hide glanced at Ireland, "You look a lot like him, are you father and son?"

Kagami holding Akai Shuichi hostage with a gun: "......?"

Is the person that Ren is talking about having poor eyesight?

Ireland, who also has many scars on his face: "......?"

Is this Shuichi Akai blind?
The scene fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

Suddenly, the mirror looked at Ireland expressionlessly: "Standing here and waiting to die?"

Ireland was stunned for a moment, feeling a little puzzled by this stranger who suddenly appeared to help him, but after hearing what Jing said, he didn't think too much about it. He immediately picked up the dropped pistol and fled away without saying a word.

Akai Shuichi: "..."

The duck that was just in hand flew away. I was so angry.

...By the way, how did this person get here?
Shuichi Akai realized a serious problem: where are his teammates?
What about that large group of teammates he just placed nearby?
