Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

The next morning

Inside a high-rise building near Suitoro in Beito-cho.

"Shuichi, is this distance okay?" Jodie asked Shuichi Akai, who was setting up his sniper rifle, with some concern.

"Hmm, leave it to me." Akai Hideaki glanced at the building across the street and said calmly.

Based on Rena Mizunashi's intelligence, they roughly pinpointed the locations where the Black Organization might strike.

They knew that organizations typically acted in sparsely populated areas. Therefore, this was the most likely "target location" at that moment.

According to Rena Mizunashi's information, Tsuchimon Yasunari will soon be going to the nearby Suitoro restaurant for a meal.

There are several tall buildings nearby, which provide a good vantage point for sniping the entrance to the Water Tower.

If all goes as expected, the organization will likely set up sniper positions in advance at the high-rise building, and then strike when Tumen Kanghui gets out of the car and is about to enter the store.

The building within 500 yards of the hotel is undoubtedly the most likely.

Shuichi Akai, who had once infiltrated the organization, knew that even the Black Organization's top snipers could only maintain a sniping range of less than 600 yards.

To ensure that a moving target dies, the distance needs to be shortened further.

Therefore, he judged that the sniping distance chosen by the organization would definitely not exceed 500 yards.

Based on Shuichi Akai's assessment, the FBI team successfully located the most likely sniping location and found several high-rise buildings that could counter them.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy and minimize the risk of being discovered by the organization, Shuichi Akai chose one of the more distant buildings among the several buildings.

The building was at least 700 yards away from several possible sniping positions of the organization.

This distance is already an "impossible distance" for a sniper.

That's why Judy was worried.

Shortly after

"Shuiyi, Tumen Kanghui is less than a 20-minute drive from here!"

"receive."

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai focused intently on his sniper scope, searching for any trace of the organization.

Five minutes later, Shuichi Akai's lips curled slightly: "Found it! Gin is among them too."

Upon hearing this, Judy and James, who were standing nearby, looked through their binoculars at the location that Shuichi Akai had pointed out.

Upon seeing that familiar black outfit, the two of them showed joy.

I was right! The organization is preparing to make its move here!

The rest is easy. Now that Shuichi Akai has located the organization's members, they can send their subordinates to surround the target location.

Then, all we have to do is wait for Shuichi Akai to take care of the organization's sniper!

Now they were finally able to capture a few members of the organization, including Gin, whom they had previously failed to capture!

However, in order not to disturb Shuichi Akai, James turned around, walked out of the house, and took out his phone.

"Target located, proceed to the target location!"

"Roger that!"

After giving the order, James quietly went back inside, ready to witness what was about to happen.

--"boom!"

Just then, a loud bang reached everyone's ears.

The sudden gunshot interrupted everyone's thoughts.

While everyone took cover, they kept glancing in the direction from which the gunshots came. Only Shuichi Akai remained standing, observing his intended target.

The next moment, upon seeing the target's appearance, Shuichi Akai also squatted down, his expression solemn.

"The target has been hit. It seems that it wasn't the organization that fired the shot, but a third party!"

"What?!" Judy's eyes widened.

"I've surveyed all the buildings around here, and there aren't any tall buildings nearby that I can snipe from within 700 yards!"

Upon hearing Judy's words, James frowned: "So... the person who fired the shot was already beyond this distance?!"

“Hmm, although I didn’t see it, judging from the trajectory and sound, that person is very far away from here, at least 900 yards away!” Akai Shuichi looked at the two of them, and a hint of shock appeared on his originally calm face.

……

same moment

"Brother?!"

Seeing the bullet pierce the sniper scope and then pass through Bacardi's right eye, Vodka broke out in a cold sweat.

Gin frowned as he hid while glancing at Bacardi on the ground.

Bacardi was clearly dead on the spot.

Seeing this, Gin pulled a grenade from his pocket, glanced at Vodka and Bacardi, and said, "Let's retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Vodka looked at Gin and exclaimed in astonishment, "Brother, but... what other information does Bacardi have on him!"

Gin didn't reply, but instead threw the grenade at Bacardi and gave Vodka and Grey Goose a cold look.

Chapter 270 What's Constantly Running Away is Life

The moment the grenade hit Bacardi, Gin and his two companions immediately turned and ran in the opposite direction.

Unlike Vodka's calm demeanor, which suggested he was already used to it, Grey Goose glanced coldly at Gin.

Although he knew that Gin was right.

In order to avoid leaving any evidence or information about the organization, Bacardi should indeed be "cleaned up".

Even so, seeing others in the same situation end up like this still made Grey Goose feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Gin..."

the other side

Judy frowned and looked at her boss, James: "They're also preparing to retreat. What do we do?"

James closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds before quickly speaking, "We'll proceed as planned. This time, we must catch them! As for that mysterious sniper... Akai, could you do me a favor?"

"Received." Shuichi Akai didn't say much, but looked down at the sniper rifle in his hand and calmly began to think.

The next second, Judy and James immediately turned around and prepared to leave the room.

Before leaving, Jodie glanced worriedly at Shuichi Akai and whispered, "Shuichi..."

After speaking, she walked out of the room, took out a walkie-talkie from her pocket, and instructed her subordinates: "Begin the operation, coordinate with other teams, and keep watch on the target location!"

……

The rooftop of a building a kilometer away.

After disguising himself, Longye removed his right eye from the scope, stood up, and shouldered the sniper rifle with one hand.

After observing the actions of Gin and the FBI agents, Tatsuno casually put the sniper rifle back into his system inventory.

If nothing unexpected happens, what follows should be a classic chase scene.

However, none of that matters...

The important thing is those little gifts I hid in the gin truck! Hehe~

Just then, Longye keenly noticed the gaze directed at him. He immediately turned his head to look at the building across the street, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Oh? Even from this distance, you were able to detect my location so quickly. As expected of Shuichi Akai~"

At that moment, Shuichi Akai saw Tatsuno on a tall building in the distance through his scope, his eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

Based on the target's location and the gunshots just heard, he judged that the person who fired the shot was roughly in this area.

After careful observation, he finally found the "mysterious sniper" on the roof of the building.

However... although the sniper was found, the problem was not only not solved, but it even became more complicated.

The distance between this sniper and the two buildings where he and his organization were located was far more than 900 yards!

That distance is at least 1000... no! At least 1300 yards!

But, how is this possible? !

As the best sniper in the FBI and that organization, Shuichi Akai knew exactly what this distance meant.

So far, his reliable sniping range is approximately 700 yards.

Although 700 yards might not be his limit, he knows he can't do anything over 1000 yards.

To date, it's not that no one has been able to hit a target from 1000 yards away, but even such snipers can't guarantee that they can still get such a "lucky shot".

To put it bluntly, the only difference between sniping and gambling from 1000 yards away is the probability of success.

This is why, despite having a "reliable sniping range" of only 700 yards, he was among the best in the FBI and that organization.

He had seen what happened clearly – “A bullet, from who-knows-where, accurately entered the target’s scope and pierced the target’s right eye.”

He didn't want to believe it, but it was clearly not a so-called "lucky shot".

Could it be that the sniper's reliable sniping range really exceeded 1000 yards?!

However, there seemed to be no sniper rifle in sight near the person standing on the rooftop, as he observed.

Could it be that he's mistaken, and the man in the shot isn't the sniper who just fired?

Who would want to go to the top of such a tall building for no reason? It can't be just to admire the view, right?

For a time, even Shuichi Akai, who was known for his composure and calmness, was caught in a "battle between heaven and man".

He felt that his judgment was correct, and that the man should be the sniper from earlier.

At the same time, he couldn't believe that someone could fire a gun from such a distance and hit the target accurately.

But if it wasn't him, then where is the person who fired the shot?
