Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 204 Xiaolan feels that the world is broken

After hanging up the phone with Masayo Aida, Yingsheng immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the alley. When he came to the main road, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

Xiaolan, who was sitting in the back seat, was almost thrown onto the large backpack next to her. She asked hurriedly, "Will Miss Aida be in danger?"

"What do you think? The organization is not a charity. Once Ms. Aida is no longer useful, she will most likely be killed without any hesitation, especially since they are probably still full of anger right now."

Seeing Xiaolan's worry, Yingsheng comforted her, "The winery wants to kill her, but because of my presence, they probably won't do it directly in the research institute. Instead, they will at least let her go farther away. In that case, of course I will know that it was the winery that did it, but at least I will have an explanation to save face and won't directly tear her apart."

Xiaolan felt a little relieved, and after thinking for a while, she said, "If this happens, does it mean that the people in the winery are a little impatient now?"

"That's right. I think the best way is to let Ms. Aida pledge her loyalty and recruit her into the organization. If that's the case, her life won't be in immediate danger, but it won't matter if I drive faster."

Xiaolan nodded and looked at the backpack beside her: "I think I just touched the monocular. Does Shuiyue-kun's equipment from the FBI include a sniper rifle?"

"Yes, there are also bulletproof vests and grenades. Did you not touch the revolving wheel just now?"

"Uh... not sure."

"...Forget it, blame me for trying to save trouble. You should put on your bulletproof vest now to prevent any accidents. As for guns, take a Glock for now. As for other guns... well, actually, the usage of these things is basically the same. How about you take an Uzi?"

"..."

Xiaolan was speechless: "What is Uzi?"

"It's a submachine gun. What else could it be?"

"God—"

Xiaolan just took off her coat and couldn't help sighing: "I think this is too big a leap. Before this time, I was doing homework or housework at home."

"Haha, life is so bizarre and unpredictable. Even you are slow."

"Yes, in the world that Shuiyue-kun expects, being born in the morning and dying in the evening is the norm."

Xiaolan muttered to herself while wearing a bulletproof vest. Hmm...

My chest feels a little tight.

"It's the same in this world. During the Age of Exploration, didn't many villages in Europe have that kind of thing? You fell asleep after a day's hard work, and someone put a sack on you in the middle of the night. When you woke up the next morning, all you saw was the endless ocean."

“…………But I don’t know how to use it.”

"It's simple. Look at the long button on the grip. That's the safety. You hold it down when you hold the gun. Then, just pull the small round button on the top of the gun back. If it jams, you can also pull it back to eject the bullet. But the chance of that happening is very small. I set the selector to full automatic. You don't need to aim. When you meet someone in a narrow road, just hold down the trigger and don't let go. You have to have enough arm strength to keep the gun from tilting."

Yingsheng Firearms Crash Course has started.

Xiaolan was speechless. She looked at the submachine gun silently and couldn't help sighing:
"Why is this thing designed to be so simple? Can't it be a little more complicated?"

"Really? You don't know how much effort the gun designers put into making the operation simple, and yet you still despise it. Between life and death, if you shoot half a second late, you will die. That's when you know how good it is."

"...I mean, all guns are more complicated in design...No, it's better to have none at all."

"That's too naive. Let me ask you, if all the guns on the market are still Mauser rifles, and someone suddenly sells Uzi, will the sales volume explode?
Capital is profit-seeking, and if gun designs become more complicated, isn’t that just handing over potential customers to others?

By the way, I saw news a few days ago that the United States has launched a mini version of the MP5 submachine gun for children, and it can also be painted pink. " "…………This world is broken. "

"This is called Hayek's invisible hand, the free market. After all, children can also be customers." Yingsheng laughed, "And even if there are no guns or artillery, there are bows, crossbows, spears, stones and branches. From ancient times to the present, there has always been fighting."

"Isn't it possible even in the world that Suigetsu-kun expects?"

"No, that won't work. Gods will also go to war for their beliefs, but the battles between them are on another level and most of the time will not affect ordinary people. If you think about it this way, you should understand that technological development is of great benefit to ordinary people."

"right……"

Xiaolan sighed: "In ancient times, ordinary people faced far more war threats and survival crises than they do now. Since the advent of nuclear bombs..." Xiaolan paused. Was there something wrong with what she said?

"That's a bit too far-fetched. Shuiyue-kun, tell me the next plan of action."

Xiaolan brought the topic back to the topic, holding the Uzi submachine gun, with a rather conflicted look on her face: "According to the current preparations, we have to force our way in anyway."

"It's absolutely not possible to force your way in. Sigh, I'm telling you the truth. Don't feel disgusted."

"what? What?"

Xiaolan suddenly perked up.

Ying Chang sighed: "Have you ever seen spy movies? What is the most common method of sneaking into the enemy's fortress? We definitely can't get into the ventilation duct. That only leaves one other way, Xiaolan, I was going to take you to the sewer."

"…………"

"Don't worry, they have prepared chemical protection suits and gas masks. Um... they seem to be of similar nature. So, how about you just meet me outside?"

Yingsheng's tone was a little embarrassed. This was the reason why he didn't say anything specific during the meal.

It's a bit off-putting.

He was actually fine, he didn't feel anything, but Xiaolan...

Xiaolan was stunned for a long while, then she made up her mind and said through gritted teeth, "Of course I want to go too. I have already done so much, how can I give up halfway! And... and compared to the risk of a head-on intrusion, this is obviously safer.

It's just a sewer, huh, no big deal!"

"hiss--"

Yingsheng took a breath and looked at the rearview mirror: "Xiaolan, how come you suddenly become so handsome? I am almost completely attracted to you."

"Huh, I've always been like this, okay?"

Xiaolan crossed her arms and glanced at him sideways: "It's someone who was doubting me before, and he's telling me now."

"After all, I can't be sure about this before I successfully find the way. Besides..." Yingsheng smiled, "You are so positive, don't you think that this method doesn't require killing? If you hesitate, you will fail. Your current thinking is very dangerous."

"…………oh."

Xiaolan changed the subject: "Didn't Shuiyue-kun say that there was no structural diagram of the research institute? How did you find the sewer?"
