Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

Therefore, as long as the Yamaguchi family wants to, there will be many people cheering for them.

As long as some of the irrefutable evidence can be erased, the Yamaguchi family has plenty of ways to easily distort the truth regarding the "human" aspect; they are confident in this!

Knowing all this, Shinichi Kudo also knew how great the obstacles would be if this case were to be pursued.

However, he couldn't help but tell Xiaolan his deduction, which led to the current situation.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Mori."

Ran, standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "Dad, don't blame Shinichi. I asked him to tell me. We're a family. If I didn't know you were in danger, that would really hurt me."

Hearing his daughter's words, Kogoro Mouri felt helpless.

He raised Xiaolan single-handedly, and he understood his daughter's temperament better than anyone else.

Because of his relationship problems with his wife, his daughter developed a cautious personality from a young age. She is so kind and sensible, but her sensibility is heartbreaking.

He immediately said seriously, "Alright, you've seen what you needed to see and know what you needed to know. Now you should all go back. Genda and I are fine here. Don't stay and cause trouble."

Ran frowned and said, "Dad, what do you mean by causing trouble? I'm very good too, okay? I didn't learn karate for nothing, and Shinichi can help too, right?"

Shinichi Kudo, looking at Ran who was radiating cold air beside him, immediately chimed in, "Of course! I'm a detective, you know, it's my duty to do this!"

After a stalemate, Kogoro and Eri Kisaki finally had to compromise and let the two of them stay.

At this point, Genda River, without any hesitation, began to instruct the law firm on its defensive measures.

"From now on, the curtains must not be opened under any circumstances to prevent anyone from using firearms for long-range sniping. Therefore, not only must the curtains not be opened, but no one is allowed to stand in the windows. Also, from now on, all drinking water and food must be handled with extreme care and must be carefully inspected before being consumed."

Then he directly adjusted the layout of the living room, increasing the space for maneuvering. His professional operation shocked everyone.

Shinichi Kudo thought to himself, "What this guy just did wasn't just talk; it really worked. It was an extremely professional technique that could minimize the damage caused by a potential attack."

He couldn't help but wonder. The other person had just been a down-on-his-luck rich kid and a good-for-nothing playboy, but in such a short time, he had undergone a tremendous change.

It's like he's become a completely different person!

Eri Kisaki, standing to the side, couldn't help but say to Kogoro Mouri, "It seems I have to admire your judgment this time. This young man is truly remarkable; not only is he exceptionally strong, but he's also meticulous and very skilled at protecting people."

Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but smile smugly: "Of course, it's precisely because I know his strength that I personally went to invite him over."

He then turned to Xiaolan and whispered, "See? Only men like me and Genda are reliable men in crucial moments."

"father!"

Ran couldn't help but let out a coquettish sigh. "Dad is so irresponsible! How could he say something like that in front of Shinichi and Genda at a time like this!"

Kogoro, however, didn't seem to care: "What's the big deal? I'm just telling the truth. I've always thought that detective kid is unreliable."

Everyone chose to stay at the law firm because they would inevitably be separated elsewhere, which would be more dangerous. Staying together at the law firm would make the other party more cautious.

The office has rooms, but none of the staff chose to sleep in their rooms; instead, they all gathered in the living room.

Eri Kisaki took out a mat and bedding and laid them out in the corner designated by Genda River: "Please make do here."

At this moment, whether it was Eri Kisaki, Kogoro, or Ran, they were all somewhat silent. In such a tense situation, everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

So he simply lay down on the bedding that had been laid out. Only Genda River did not lie down; instead, he flipped over two chairs in the living room.

Everyone was somewhat surprised, wondering what he was planning to do, but no one dared to interrupt, since his previous actions had earned their trust.

He quickly disassembled the chair and then assembled several long stick parts together, forming a thick stick with more than a dozen outward-pointing screws, making it look like a small mace.

Then, he tied the remaining dozen or so short wires all over his left arm, almost completely covering it. He then reinforced it a second time with thin wire and strips of cloth. When he put on his coat, his left arm became like a small shield.

He also took out a few chocolates and shared them with everyone, telling them that these were for replenishing their energy in crucial moments.

Shinichi Kudo scoffed, "This guy's way too cautious. Does he think they'd launch a full-scale attack on the law firm?"

"Meow meow————"

A meow rang out, and a slender blue kitten with erect, pointed ears leaped off the table, landed on the ground, and quickly jumped into Eri's arms.

"You must be hungry. It's all my fault, I almost forgot to feed you," Eri said, getting up to get a cat treat from the drawer of the table by the window.

She's been restless all day. She only fed the little blue cat "Goro" a little something in the morning and then ignored it. Now it's been a whole day, and the little guy must be starving.

Just as she reached the table, a figure suddenly appeared, tackled her to the ground, and pulled her into his arms. He then turned and caught her with his body, preventing her from falling to the ground and making intimate contact with it.

Eri Kisaki smelled the strong masculine scent emanating from the other person, and her pretty face flushed red. She looked at Gendagawa with some anger. What was wrong with this young man? What was he trying to do?

The two were embracing each other, their chests pressed tightly together, which was incredibly awkward.

Before she could even yell at them, a loud bang rang out, the windowpane rattled, and wood chips flew everywhere from the solid wood desk!

Everyone was shocked, because it was a sniper rifle!

Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Battle of Wits and Strength

"Damn it, it's a sniper rifle!"

Everyone could see clearly that what could cause such damage was definitely not an ordinary pistol or rifle; only a sniper rifle could do it!

This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! To escape punishment, they actually resorted to such methods, targeting a highly respected and top-tier lawyer in the city.

Then everyone felt a wave of fear, especially Eri Kisaki.

If Gendagawa hadn't intervened, that bullet would have been fatal.

In the darkness, everything fell silent, as if all had returned to calm.

But everyone knows that the current calm is just the calm before the storm; the truly terrifying storm is still brewing.

Somewhere in the building across the street, a dark figure was staring at the office window with a cruel smile on his face.

The classic little black guy is smiling.jpg

"So close! What a pity. But after tonight, it's all over!"

He reached out and adjusted the focus of the scope. In the night vision goggles, the window was empty, but snipers have no shortage of patience.

He was like a cat waiting at the entrance of a mouse hole for the mouse to peek out; all the waiting was for that one moment of thunderous strike!

"Damn it, these guys are insane! They actually dared to attack a law firm!"

Enraged, Kogoro Mori slammed his fist into the ground, venting his anger.

Xiao Lan, standing to the side, felt a jolt of fear wash over her as her mother was shot right beside her!

Although Xiaolan has experienced some dangers over the years, after all, being around two great grim reapers, it would be abnormal if she didn't encounter murder cases or something like that.

Rice popcorn, well, those who know, know.

However, the shock of directly using a sniper rifle to kill someone, especially one's own mother, still made Xiaolan tremble.

"Don't panic, everyone. As we planned, the enemy sniper has a very limited field of vision. As long as we stay out of his line of sight, he can't do anything to us. However, we need to be careful about something else."

Shinichi Kudo said, "Genda is right. Since the other side has already used snipers, it means they have made up their minds and there is no room for negotiation. So, besides snipers, they must have other methods!"

Ran, Kogoro, and Eri were all on tenterhooks.

His analysis was correct. Since guns had already been used, it meant they were determined to silence everyone, and there was definitely more than just one sniper!

Sure enough, a series of chaotic and heavy footsteps came from downstairs, which instilled a great sense of fear in the dead of night.

"They brought a large group of people with them! Oh, and we should call the police!"

Kogoro Mouri finally realized what was happening and hurriedly took out his phone to try to call the police, but the phone showed no signal, which left him dumbfounded.

"No need to try anymore. I just sent a message, but it showed that it failed to send. The other party used technical means to block the signal of this building, and the phone line has probably been cut as well."

At this moment, Eri's expression turned grim; the other party was leaving her no way out whatsoever.

She believed that Kensaku Ashida would definitely find a way to provide support, but he wouldn't take any big action without receiving her message.

In situations like these, time is of the essence. A ten-minute delay in the arrival of the police could mean the difference between life and death!

At this moment, Genda spoke up, "Don't worry, everyone. I've already sent a distress signal to the police. They should arrive in about twenty minutes."

Everyone was stunned. The entire building's signal was blocked, so how could his message possibly get out?

However, after Genda showed him the messages he had already sent on his phone, as well as the text message Inspector Megure's reply, he finally believed him.

"You're really something, kid! You actually managed to contact Inspector Megure. That's fantastic!"

As soon as Inspector Megure arrives with his police force, the other side must stop, no matter how large their force or how powerful they are.

Because if there is a direct conflict with the police, the nature of the situation will be completely different.

After all, cracking down on organized crime requires evidence, while counter-terrorism only requires a list, and as for suppressing rebellions, all that's needed is coordinates.

Therefore, as soon as the police arrive, no matter how rampant these assassins hired by the Yamaguchi family are, they will definitely leave immediately, and the crisis will be resolved!

If the opponent fails, then today's spectacle will require a reasonable explanation.

At that time, whether they find a scapegoat or use other methods, it will be enough to deal a heavy blow to the Yamaguchi family.

Or rather, the Yamaguchi family was already prepared to be dealt a heavy blow when they used this method; whether successful or not, this blow was inevitable.

"The living room is no longer safe, everyone go to the hallway!"

Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but say, "But if some of the people rushing up have guns, it will be even more dangerous in the corridor!"

Eri, Ran, and Kogoro also realized what was happening, but staying in the room would only lead to their deaths.
