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

Chapter 569 Gradually Forgetting the Mission Objective
Taking the Maori Detective Agency as a starting point:
In an apartment building more than 100 meters away, the assassins from the organization had internal conflicts - mainly manifested in Anderburg being responsible for sniping, Chianti and Cohen being responsible for watching, and Angostura and Claret being responsible for arguing about whether to retreat or eliminate the enemy;
On the rooftop of a building more than 800 meters away, the FBI's ace agent and a traitor with a high bounty in the organization, Shuichi Akai, was accidentally shot in the superior ear artery by Anderburger and was bleeding profusely. At the moment, he was forced to undergo intense hemostatic treatment while fighting with Anderburger.

Since neither side had any intention of retreating for the time being, the situation was at a stalemate for a while.

It was because Shuichi Akai received a message from Judy and learned about Conan's little mistake that he deduced that the organization that did not know Conan's background was likely to put the blame on Kogoro Mouri, so he rushed over from other places.

Although he didn't know whether the organization had other plans, he couldn't care less for the time being.

The key is to force the organization's members to retreat and protect the personal safety of the families of small partners.

However, Shuichi Akai did not expect that Gin was not among the main forces of this operation, but two members of a foreign organization who he had mistakenly considered as friendly forces because he paid too much attention to Gin last time.

What was even more surprising was the sniping ability of the blond member...

Shuichi Akai swore that he had never heard of such a person in the organization before.

——How could a man who locked onto his teammate’s position within two seconds after he was shot and accurately hit his ear be an unknown person?
And the person he shot before was not simple either: he didn't move at all, but just moved at the moment he fired...

Otherwise, the previous shot should have hit the head.

"I have never heard of these two people in the organization before." Akai Shuichi looked thoughtful, "The situation in the organization is becoming more and more complicated..."

The coldness in his mind made him unusually calm now.

So much so that he could still withstand the fire suppression of three snipers from the organization and continue to fight with Anderburg, while his mind was still full of divergent thoughts...

"I say, Xiao Xiuxiu~ I seem to be targeted. Do you want to change places?"

Retsu, who had just stopped Akai Shuichi's bleeding, felt as if he was being ignored. He patted Akai Shuichi's head in annoyance and said, "They seem to have people nearby. If you don't leave now, you'll be beaten to a pulp~"

Akai Shuichi: "..."

Alas, he almost forgot about Mr. Lin.

"...Mr. Lin, please leave first. I'll be here." Akai Shuichi took a deep breath, his eyes firm, "Their attention is on me now. Mr. Maori is not in danger for the time being... But as long as they don't leave, the crisis cannot be resolved."

"So, please, Mr. Lin, protect Mr. Maori."

Akai Shuichi's words almost moved Rei.

only……

"Ah~ I came here to protect Mr. Maori~" Lie seemed to be smiling, but with the mask covering his face, it was hard to tell his expression. "Besides~ I'm not alone, but you're here alone, holding us back~"

Akai Shuichi: "..."

So heartless.

...So in Mr. Lin's eyes, he is the one who holds the team back?

Lie seemed to see through his heart and nodded seriously, "Tuo, you and Conan are almost the same... you are just a little more useful than him~"

Akai Shuichi: "..."

I feel like Mr. Lin’s words became a bit impolite after he put on the mask.

The conversation between the two seemed to take a long time, but in fact it was only a dozen seconds.

Akai Shuichi, who was aiming at the opponent, seized a gap during this period and poked his head out from behind the cover. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis between his eyebrows.

Oops!

He's locked in!
'call out--'

A bullet whizzed straight towards Akai Shuichi's forehead. At this moment, he couldn't even think freely.

however!
"when!"

A pitch-black gun barrel suddenly blocked Akai Shuichi's forehead, and as luck would have it, the bullet that came from afar was stuck in the middle of the gun barrel.

Lie Lue, who helped block a burst of bullets, said with some disdain: "What? Why don't you just shoot? Why are you just daydreaming?"

Akai Hideichi was stunned for a second, then he reacted and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Lin... By the way, can I ask a question?"

Based on the principle of reciprocity, he also fired a shot at the other side.

But what was frustrating was that the bullet was shot away halfway...

"What's the problem?" Lie was a little impressed that Akai Shuichi could still remain calm.

"That's right." Akai Shuichi looked at the bullet stuck in Rei's gun chamber, his eyes filled with something called 'curiosity', "Is your skill of catching bullets inherited from your ancestors?"

He remembered Judy saying that in the previous incident, the black-haired man could catch bullets with his bare hands...

"..."

Lie looked at his probably scrapped sniper rifle, and then looked at Akai Shuichi who had a piece of flesh missing from his ear, and slapped him on the head in frustration, "That's not the point! Okay~ You'll die if you stay here now, this matter has nothing to do with you FBI now, just stay away~"

After saying that, Lie snatched Akai Shuichi's gun with confidence, threw his broken gun to the other party, and then randomly shot at the people of the organization in the distance.

"...Um, Mr. Lin, you can't hit anyone like this..."

"Nonsense! I couldn't hit you anyway!" Lie was still confident.

Those who are familiar with him know that his firearms performance is the worst.

Akai Shuichi: "How about..."

Lie: "There is no 'or else'! Hurry up and leave smoothly!"

Shuichi Akai: “…”Okay, why don’t he just leave?

Seeing that Lie snatched his magazine again and fired indiscriminately at the distance, Shuichi Akai would be lying if he said he was not moved - he thought Lie did this to cover his retreat.

but.

Akai Shuichi's emotion was shattered the next moment.

Because Lie received a call:
"Hey~Brother Qian! Uh-huh~The people who are in the way should leave, let's get started~"

Akai Shuichi: "..."

He hasn't left yet!

……

opposite.

Angostura finally defeated Claret and decided to fight to the death with the opposing sniper.

As for their original purpose of coming here...

Maori Kogoro?
Who is that?
Angostura's eyes were now focused only on Shuichi Akai and Rei, even though he didn't actually know the two men and hadn't even picked up a telescope to look at them - but this didn't stop him from targeting them.
