Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

One of the men, a slightly younger-looking man with short hair, was holding a revolver and was facing off against a long-haired man wearing a hat, looking flustered.

"Rye Whiskey, did the organization send you to kill me?"

"Scotland, the organization has already guessed you're an undercover agent. However..."

Before the long-haired man could finish speaking, Morofushi Kagemitsu raised the revolver in his hand and pointed it at himself.

Upon seeing this, the long-haired man paused for a moment, then immediately rushed forward.

After gripping the cylinder of the revolver, he continued, "It's no use. Once the cylinder of a revolver is gripped, it's absolutely impossible for a human to pull the trigger."

“I haven’t finished speaking yet. Give up on suicide! Scotch whisky, a man like you shouldn’t die here.”

“I am Shuichi Akai, an undercover agent sent by the FBI. Like you, I am a hound trying to keep a close watch on those guys.”

"Don't we all have a common enemy?"

"Alright, if you understand, put down your gun and listen to me. After all, letting you go would be a piece of cake for the FBI..."

Just then, the two suddenly heard footsteps climbing the stairs downstairs.

The moment he heard the sound, Hideaki Akai subconsciously loosened his grip on the revolver cylinder. Seizing this moment, Hiromitsu Morofushi aimed at his chest, ready to fire.

"Thump! Snap!"

Just then, a steel pipe that seemed to fly out of nowhere knocked the revolver out of Morofushi Kagemitsu's hand.

"Clap clap~"

Accompanied by rhythmic applause, a figure suddenly appeared on the platform.

Morofushi Kagemitsu and Akai Shuichi immediately turned their heads and saw a masked man suddenly appear not far from them.

Before they even met, both of them had checked the place separately, and there was nowhere on the platform to hide.

Even if they really wanted to come up, they would have to use the only staircase over there. They would know as soon as someone came up.

But this guy who suddenly appeared clearly didn't climb the stairs. How did he get up here?!

Who is this person, and which side are they on...?

Just as the two of them were having an internal struggle, Longye nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the steel pipe and revolver that flew back into his hand, he couldn't help but sigh: Not a single skill produced by the system is superfluous!

Previously, out of curiosity, he upgraded his "Love on a Steel Pipe" skill to level A.

What I thought was a useless skill underwent a miraculous change after being upgraded to A-rank.

Now I can not only take out steel pipes anytime, anywhere, but also throw them away and retrieve them at will according to my own ideas.

Furthermore, this "flying and recovery" can be done precisely according to one's own intentions.

Now it seems that this is not a useless skill at all; it is practically a shield for a certain captain!

The only difference is that they used shields, while he used steel pipes; the latter was indeed inferior.

Just as Ryūno was indulging in his wild ideas, Mitsuru Morofushi and Shuichi Akai frowned and became extremely vigilant.

Just then, footsteps approached from the stairs not far away. Clearly, another person was about to arrive.

Morofushi Kagemitsu and Akai Shuichi were extremely busy, glancing at the masked man in front of them one moment and then at the stairs the next.

Shuichi Akai also quietly put his hand into the pocket of his coat.

This atmosphere didn't last long before a familiar figure appeared before them.

"Scotland!…"

"boom!"

Rei Furuya had just climbed the stairs and hadn't even finished speaking when he was hit by a tranquilizer dart fired casually by Ryūno.

Although the sound of the anesthetic ejection was very faint, it was quite noticeable in such a quiet environment.

Chapter 28: Morofushi Kagemitsu Chapter (Part 2)

"Thump, thump."

Rei Furuya's body collapsed in front of Ryuno and the other two.

"Bourbon!!!"

Morofushi Kagemitsu watched as his friend collapsed before his eyes, his pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted as he rushed toward Furuya Rei lying on the ground.

Beside him, Shuichi Akai also frowned, cautiously watching Tatsuno fire the shot, and assumed a fighting stance, his heart filled with tension and surprise.

"That guy was so fast! When did he pull out that other gun?!"

At this moment, Longye revealed an innocent smile and slowly took a few steps forward.

"Don't worry, Bourbon is just asleep. Mr. Akai was right, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Why don't we all sit down, have a cup of tea, and have a good chat?"

"What do you think, Mr. Morofushi?"

Upon hearing Ryūno call out his name, Mōbushi Kagemitsu's gaze changed from cold to surprised, and even showed a hint of fear.

Seeing the obvious change in Morofushi Kagemitsu's expression beside him, Akai Shuichi couldn't help but be somewhat surprised: "Morofushi? It seems that must be the Scottish undercover agent's real name. How did he know that?"

Regardless, it seems this guy overheard his conversation with Scotch Whisky, so he definitely won't be allowed to leave easily.

Meanwhile, Morofushi Kagemitsu helped his friend up from the ground and carefully examined him.

After confirming that his friend had no obvious gunshot wounds and that his breathing was even, he turned his head to carefully observe Longye in front of him.

The masked man was wearing a black coat, holding the revolver and a steel pipe that had just been taken from him in his left hand, and a gun in his right hand, looking completely relaxed.

Steel pipe?

Wait, did this guy just use this thing to knock the revolver out of his hand?

Hey, hey, hey, is this for real?!

"Mr. Morofushi, I've long admired your name. But speaking of which, you really should shave your beard. Even if you're an undercover agent, you should still pay attention to your personal appearance!"

"..."

Shuichi Akai, who had been watching Ryūno closely, made his move the moment Ryūno spoke!

"boom!"

"Ok?"

Seeing that the masked man before him had easily blocked his sudden attack, Shuichi Akai was surprised, but he did not stop his attacks and continued to strike the masked man, each move aimed to kill.

……

After exchanging blows for more than ten rounds, Shuichi Akai felt completely exhausted.

No matter how he changed his offensive rhythm or tried to create openings, his opponent could easily counter them.

What's most terrifying is that the masked man's attack power and timing were astonishingly consistent with his own.

Whenever he speeds up his attack or increases the force of his shot, his opponent immediately notices and coordinates with his attack.

To this day, the two have not yet determined a winner.

Shuichi Akai knew that his opponent's skills were clearly superior to his own.

The other party wasn't taking it seriously at all.

Moreover, this person's attack stance... Jeet Kune Do?

Seeing the surprise in Akai Hideaki's eyes, Tatsuno calmly said, "It seems Mr. Akai has noticed~ That's right, I'm using Jeet Kune Do."

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai suddenly abandoned his attack and jumped backward.

Seeing that the masked man in front of him was not chasing after him, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood still to adjust his breathing.

His eyes never left Longye.

As he composed himself, he began to speculate about the identity of the masked man in front of him.

To be honest, Shuichi Akai had a feeling of familiarity from the very first moment he saw the masked man.

Logically speaking, he should not have such feelings since he had never met this person before.

But this feeling... or rather, intuition, had saved him many times in times of crisis.

That means he must have seen this masked man somewhere before!

Was it during a mission in the United States?

Shuichi Akai's mind flashed through information about many people, but none of them matched the man in front of him.

Just as Shuichi Akai was making his own guesses, Hiromitsu Morofushi suddenly spoke up: "You're the guy wearing the black cat mask?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Ryūno gave Morofushi Kagemitsu a bright smile: "Looks like you've heard of me~"

"Mr. Akai over there isn't planning to continue fighting me either. If you ask me, why don't we all go downstairs now, find a coffee shop or something nearby, sit down, have a cup of coffee, and have a proper chat?"

"Then I'll disguise you, and Mr. Akai will help you stage a death scene, so you'll 'die' here."

From now on, you can hold hands, shoulder to shoulder, hide together in the darkness, closely united, and bite the organization's throat together~

Akai Shuichi: "..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang: "..."

Looking at the two silent people in front of him, Longye continued to tease, "You guys don't have any objections, right? I think my method is perfect."

Looking at the unserious masked man in front of him, Morofushi Kagemitsu recalled the message Matsuda Jinpei had sent him some time ago.

The message mentioned a man wearing a black cat mask. This man seemed to know them well and was aware of their relationships and experiences.

Matsuda Jinpei described him as follows: "He is exceptionally skilled, always carries a weapon, and is a despicable and dangerous individual."

He knew Matsuda's personality; if the masked man hadn't done anything to Matsuda, he certainly wouldn't have used a word like "despicable."

At first, he was puzzled. But now, he seems to understand why the word "despicable" appeared.

In the message sent to him by Kenji Hagiwara, he subtly revealed that the masked man had once saved his life and was probably not a dangerous person, but also told him to be careful.

Both of my classmates encountered this masked man, and their descriptions of him were vastly different, which left a deep impression on me.

This is why Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly asked the question after realizing that the masked man was wearing a black cat mask.
