Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 157 Assassination
At the dinner table, Mizuno Rena intentionally or unintentionally tried to get closer to Makino and the others.

Maybe it’s because she has been a host for so many years, Rena Mizunoshi has obviously very rich experience, and can often talk about local news that people have never heard of.

Even Kogoro Mori, who has always only cared about beauty, was intrigued by the examples and stories told by Rena Mizunashi, and temporarily forgot his "original purpose".

Everyone was enjoying the food and chatting happily. The scene looked so peaceful and harmonious.

Not long after, after telling another interesting story she heard during an interview abroad, Rena Mizunashi subconsciously looked at Makino.

During the meal, she was carefully observing Makino's words and actions.

She wanted to re-examine this Metropolitan Police Department officer who Gin identified as a threat to the organization from her own perspective.

As far as I can remember, this is the first time that Gin has shown so much "attention" to an ordinary police officer.

But so far, she has not drawn any useful conclusions from her observations.

She couldn't even connect the Makino in front of her, who was gentle and always had a warm smile on his face, with the "powerful guy" that Gin was afraid of.

But strangely, a voice deep inside her whispered that she must find a way to help the officer survive.

The person in front of her might be "one of the possibilities" for her to take revenge on the organization and keep her brother alive.

Although this idea has absolutely no basis, but...

Thinking of this, a trace of confusion flashed in Mizuno Rena's eyes.

……

After lunch, Makino and others returned to the TV station building with Rena Mizunashi.

There were still two hours before the afternoon's field recording, and the program producer specially cleared out two lounges in the TV station for them to take a lunch break.

Not only that, the producer also specially had people prepare fruits and snacks in the lounge to satisfy the cravings.

In response, Makino and others expressed their gratitude to the producer in person.

After saying goodbye to the producer, Mizunashi Rena looked at Makino and the others and said with a low laugh, "Mr. Makino, Mr. Mori, this is the first time I've seen a producer treat the guest being interviewed so attentively. Other interviewees don't get such treatment~"

Upon hearing this, Makino and Xiaolan expressed their gratitude again.

Even Kogoro Mori touched the back of his head embarrassedly and grinned twice.

Conan looked up at Makino, his eyes full of understanding.

Both today's lunch and the lounge now have indeed exceeded the "entertainment standards" he knows.

But this is not surprising, after all, in addition to Uncle Maori, the person being interviewed is also Officer Makino~
Considering the information-gathering capabilities of Nichimi TV, it is natural that they would not be unaware of Makino's identity and background.

Ten minutes later, just as Makino leaned back on the sofa, he received a text message from an unknown source.

The content of the text message was very concise - "Find a reason to refuse the interview this afternoon, otherwise your life will be in danger."

The moment he saw the text message, Makino guessed the identity of the sender.

But he really couldn't understand why Mizuno Rena would do such a thankless task.

And to be honest, this "crude" reminder method is really inconsistent with her professional ability as a CIA member.

Thinking of this, Makino smiled and shook his head, then stood up and walked out of the room.

……

Not long after, Makino walked to the door of Rena Mizunashi's lounge and knocked directly.

——“Dong Dong”

As footsteps were heard in the house, the door was opened by Mizunashi Rena.

When she saw that the person coming was Makino, Mizuno Rena's face suddenly showed a bit of unnatural expression, but it was only a moment, she reorganized her emotions and smiled softly: "It turns out to be Mr. Makino, what can I do for you?"

The next second, under the astonished gaze of Mizunashi Rena, Makino pushed open the door and walked into the lounge.

"Wait?! Mr. Makino, you…"

Without waiting for Mizuno Reina to finish, Makino closed the door, turned around and chuckled, "Ms. Mizuno Reina... No, Kiel. Let's talk about the content of the text message~"

Mizuno Reina: “!!!”

After hearing the code name "Kil" from Makino, Rena Mizunashi's pupils widened instantly and the expression on her face froze instantly.

For a moment, her thoughts became extremely confused.

She thought of several scenarios in which Makino might receive a text message, but she had never thought of the current situation.

Not only did the other party guess that the text message was sent by her, but he even knew her real identity long ago? !
Before Mizunashi Rena could think about the next countermeasure, Makino's voice came again: "There is one thing I am curious about. Why did you not hesitate to expose your undercover identity and remind me of the danger?"

Mizuno Reina: “?!!”

After hearing these words, Rena Mizunoshi's already extremely shocked expression became even more exaggerated.

At this moment, in addition to shock, an emotion called "fear" also instantly surged into Rena Mizunashi's heart.

Rena Mizuno stared blankly at Makino in front of her, her eyes subconsciously looking towards the dressing table where the pistol was hidden.

But for some reason, after seeing the smile on Makino's lips, she suddenly felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and she couldn't move a single step.

In her eyes, Makino's originally gentle smile became as hideous and terrifying as the devil's smile, which made people feel cold in their hearts.

Seeing Rena Mizuno standing there stupidly without replying for a long time, Makino frowned helplessly.

CIA? Undercover in a winery?
Why do I feel that this guy's psychological quality is even worse than that kid Kuroba Kaito?

Do I look so scary?!
After a moment, Mizuno Rena finally came to her senses and slowly walked to the opposite side of Makino.

She stared straight at Makino in front of her, wanting to ask something but not knowing where to start.

Although there are only two short sentences, the amount of information revealed in them is extremely astonishing.

The man sitting in front of her at this moment actually knew her official identity? !

And...it seems that this is not only her code name in the organization, this person even knows that she is an undercover agent in the organization? !

She suddenly understood why Gin wanted to get rid of Officer Makino in front of her...

After a moment of silence, Mizuno Rena finally spoke: "Who are you?"

"I just happened to pass by... No, you should have known the answer to this question a long time ago, right?" After saying halfway subconsciously, Makino shook his head and smiled helplessly.

I am actually so bored that I have to play this kind of meme. It seems that people should always find something meaningful to do, otherwise they will become a boring uncle who only knows how to play memes, tell jokes and guess riddles.

Rena Mizuno looked at Makino opposite her and fell silent again.

Indeed, she already knew the answer to this question.

She had read the information about Makino Ryuichi more than once, and she could even recite many of the contents.

But this did not dispel the doubts in her mind.

Rather, the questions are becoming more and more numerous.

Judging from the information, this Officer Makino doesn't look like someone from their "world". Logically speaking, he can't possibly know his identity.

but……

After noticing Mizunashi Rena's expression, Makino shook his head and said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but don't we both have secrets that we don't want others to know, Ms. Hondou~"

Mizuno Reina: “…”

After staring at Makino's face for a few seconds, Mizuno Reina let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that you do know a lot... But what you said makes sense, so I won't ask you about that for now.

I did send the text message. Since you know my code name in the organization, you should know that it was not a 'prank' of mine, right? "

Makino nodded and said, "Of course, that's why I want to know why you told me this. From your point of view, it doesn't seem to have any benefits for you, right? No matter what the reason is, once the plan to kill me fails, you will inevitably be suspected by Gin and the others."

"You really do know everything." Mizunashi Rena closed her eyes helplessly, "You're right, this won't do me any good, but... I should say it's a premonition, I always feel that if I let you be killed by Gin and the others, it might be a bigger loss for me."

Having said that, Mizunashi Reina sat down on the sofa, raised her head and sighed: "Now it seems that my premonition seems to be correct."

Makino stood up and walked toward the door, chuckling, "A premonition? Although it's a weird reason, I think I can understand it. Since we already have each other's contact information, maybe we can have a chance to cooperate in the future~"

Seeing that Makino was about to leave, Mizuno Rena quickly said, "Wait! Where are you going? Now that you already know their plan, what are you going to do?"

"The plan remains unchanged. I'll wait for them to come and kill me."

"What did you say?!!"

"..."

Two hours later, in a park near Nichimei TV Station.

Rena Mizunashi glanced from the rearview mirror of the car at Makino who was talking and laughing with Kogoro Mori and others, with a complicated expression.

She originally thought that after knowing Gin and his friends' assassination plan, Makino would find a way to "reasonably and intelligently avoid it."

But unexpectedly, Makino asked her to pretend that nothing had happened and continue to carry out her tasks according to the organization's plan.

Thinking of this, Mizuno Rena looked down at the phone in her pocket and frowned.

So far, Gin has not contacted her, and is obviously preparing to act according to his original plan.

Apparently, Officer Makino didn't send his men or SAT personnel to ambush nearby.

Otherwise, with the vigilance of Gin and the others, they would have realized that something was wrong and changed or canceled the action directly.

What on earth does this Officer Makino want to do?
Without any support, he was ready to step into the trap set for him as if nothing had happened?

Isn't this simply an act of committing suicide? !

……

At the same time, in the underground parking lot near the park.

After receiving Cohen's message, a fierce light flashed across Gin's eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

Belmode in the back seat chuckled and said, "Oh? Looks like the show is about to start~"

"Hmph..." Gin snorted coldly and did not directly answer Vermouth's question.

An hour ago, Chianti and Cohen had already found a sniper point on a building near the park.

Now, the TV station's car has arrived at the park.

Although it was a pity that he couldn't do it himself, but when he thought that the guy would disappear completely soon, Gin couldn't help but smile.

After catching a glimpse of the smile on Gin's lips, Vermouth turned her head and looked out the window, an inexplicable expectation flashing across her beautiful eyes.

……

After the TV station staff set up the scene, the supervisor and producer immediately got in the car to inform Makino and others.

Seeing that the interview was about to begin, Mizunashi Rena glanced at Makino worriedly, then put on a standard professional smile: "Mr. Makino, Mr. Mori, let's get started~"

"No problem, leave everything to me, Kogoro Mori!" Kogoro Mori straightened his collar, raised his head and walked out of the car confidently.

After seeing her father's appearance, Xiaolan beside her sighed helplessly, praying secretly in her heart that her father would make fewer mistakes in this recording.

After a moment, Mizunashi Reina looked at the camera and said, "Good afternoon~ We are now at..."

Two minutes later.

Just as Kogoro Mori was walking and answering Rena Mizunashi's question, the camera held by the photographer suddenly made a "bang" sound and the lens shattered on the spot.

At the same time, a light flashed in Makino's eyes, and he slightly moved to the right, avoiding the bullet that was about to hit his forehead.

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden change.

The next second, Conan reacted and shouted: "It's a bullet! There's a sniper rifle!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present shouted in fear and scattered, subconsciously looking for cover.

Conan ran to the back of the car while quickly observing the surrounding situation.

If he heard correctly, there seemed to be two strange noises just now.

One of the shots hit the camera, while the other...

not good! !
The criminal's target is Officer Makino!!

Thinking of this, Conan's expression changed instantly.

The next moment, after confirming that Xiaolan and Uncle Maori were safe and sound, Conan immediately turned his head to look at the place where Makino had just stood, looking around for Makino's figure.

But at this moment, he found that Makino's figure had completely disappeared.

Seeing this, Conan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately analyzed the sniper's location based on the direction from which the bullet came.

Maori Kogoro, who was standing by, saw that Xiaolan and Conan were fine, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaolan, call the police!!"

……

At the same time, on top of a high-rise building 500 meters away from the park.

After confirming that the camera was destroyed, Chianti smiled and prepared to get up and pack up his gun.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that Cohen was still standing still in his sniper position, and said with a smile: "What? Are you still admiring your 'results'? When did you have this kind of..."

Before Chianti could finish, Cohen's slightly nervous voice reached her ears: "The target dodged the bullet and has disappeared now..."

Hearing this, Chianti's grin widened: "Oh? Is this a new joke you came up with?"

Before the action, they had already calculated the sniping distance.

With their skills, it is impossible to make a mistake at such a distance, let alone the possibility of "the target dodging the bullet".

She didn't expect that Cohen, who was usually taciturn, would make such a joke.
