The boy soldier next to the famous detective

With Conan Edogawa providing cover, Jonah can confidently go out and carry out missions with Dave.

Dave almost single-handedly completed all the preliminary investigation and preparation work, and Jonah only needed to follow the plan provided by Dave and be responsible for the final step of the operation.

This task assignment was very comfortable for Jonah; he only needed to focus on shooting and fighting, without having to think too much about anything else.

Jonah arrived in the mountainous region of Yamanashi Prefecture in Dave's car in the evening. The two waited patiently in the car for a while before starting their next move as darkness fell.

A cluster of buildings hidden in a mountain valley, not very large, with only 6 houses. According to Dave's investigation, this was originally a man-made safe zone for hunters to rest, but as the Japanese government's requirements for hunters became stricter, hunters began to become scarce, and many such rest areas were abandoned.

"There were 17 people in total, and they were all armed. I saw five rifles. The children were placed in the easternmost room, where two people were watching over them."

Jonah crouched low and quickly traversed the forest, returning to the hillside where Dave was. He then recounted the information he had observed after sneaking close by.

"Seventeen people, six more than I had heard. They were indeed the ones who stayed in Japan to provide support."

He nodded knowingly. Although there were some discrepancies, it was close to Dave's final estimate of 20 people, so Dave and Jonah didn't need to change their plans.

"We can act immediately and then clean up the site."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because I overheard their leader making a phone call, saying that in two hours, people from that organization would come to pick them up."

"Oh, there's an unexpected bonus. Well then, I'll have to put in the effort!"

Dave's eyes lit up instantly. Although it was satisfying to eliminate the human traffickers who provided personnel to the Black Organization's training base, nothing beats the thrill of directly taking down the Black Organization members!

Without any hesitation, Dave, armed and ready, charged toward the rest area, while Jonah remained on the hillside, using the sniper rifle Dave had brought to provide long-range support, and preemptively killed an enemy on the outermost outpost.

At a distance of less than 120 meters, with bright moonlight, good visibility, and little wind, Jonah, positioned high above, was like a target practicer, having already taken down six outer personnel with his sniper rifle by the time Dave rushed to the rest area.

With Jonah helping to keep an eye on things, Dave had even more fun, making no attempt to conceal his movements. He jumped out and started doing dry pulls, it was all about quick reflexes.

After Dave killed the last enemy, Jonah also rushed over from the hillside. The two worked together to gather all the corpses in one room, trying to make the rest area look like there was no problem.

During this time, the two also took a look at the children in the room who had heard the gunshots and were huddled together in fear.

Although Jonah sympathized with the children who were gripped by fear, he still decisively used a tranquilizer dart on each of them to put them to sleep.

They still have to deal with the organization's people, and it wouldn't be good if their whereabouts were exposed by the voices of these children.

Dave chose the house closest to the rest area entrance and crouched behind the window, while Jonah switched to a rifle and hid opposite, forming a crossfire zone with Dave.

The two waited patiently, and finally, an hour later, they saw a car headlight coming from the mountain road in the distance, steadily approaching the rest area.

A mountain jeep quickly arrived at the entrance to the rest area. Two men got out of the vehicle, stood at the entrance for a while, observed for a while, and then turned around to return to the vehicle.

Seeing this, Jonah and Dave dared not delay any longer. Forgetting their idea of ​​capturing someone alive to extract information, they each locked onto an enemy and opened fire, killing them right next to the jeep.

"Damn, these bastards are really cautious."

Emerging from his hiding place, Dave looked at the two lifeless bodies and spat in annoyance.

"Dave, can this car fit 13 kids?"

Feeling something was off, Jonah looked at the Jeep in front of him, which, although spacious, only had five seats by standard, and subconsciously asked Dave beside him.

"...Fuck! Damn it, Jonathan, we're out of here!"

Dave's expression changed drastically. Realizing something, he suddenly looked up and observed his surroundings. When he noticed something, he turned around abruptly and pushed Jonah to the side of the jeep.

砰-

A gunshot shattered the silence of the forest. Jonah, pushed to the side of the jeep, narrowed his eyes and looked at Dave, who had staggered and fallen beside him. His voice trembled as he asked, "Dave, you've been shot?"

"I got tricked, damn it. I haven't faced that organization in so long that I've let my guard down too much."

Dave raised his hand to cover his left abdomen, looked at the blood on his palm, and grinned at Jonah beside him.

"It's alright. I'll stop the bleeding and get a painkiller injection. Then we'll use this car to get out of there. Although it seems like there's only one person on the other side, he's in the shadows while we're in the open. Let's go first..."

"You wait for me here, Dave."

With a cold look in his eyes, Jonah checked Dave's condition and, without hesitation, detonated a smoke grenade, blocking the direction from which the bullets had come.

Jonah then waited for five seconds, and the instant the bright moon in the sky was obscured by a large cloud, he ignored Dave's attempts to stop him and rushed out from the side of the jeep. Using the trees in the forest as cover, he quickly rushed towards the enemy's firing position.

The enemy clearly realized Jonah's intentions and kept turning their guns to try to lock onto Jonah's position, but Jonah was too agile in the forest, making it impossible for the enemy to succeed.

Sensing something was wrong, the enemy, refusing to believe it, raised his gun, wanting to fight Jonah to the death as he drew closer. However, he never expected that Jonah would show no fear or hesitation in the face of his probing attack. He kept his finger on the trigger and pressed down with even more intense firepower.

With one magazine empty, Jonah rushed to the enemy's hiding place in the hillside hollow. He threw the empty rifle behind him, pulled out the short-barreled shotgun that he hadn't used before but had carried with him out of curiosity, aimed at the enemy's body, and fired two shots.

Watching the enemy's body fall down the hillside with the shotgun bullets, Jonah took deep breaths to calm his wildly beating heart after the sprint, walked up to the man, pulled out his military knife, plunged it into his heart, and slashed open his neck.

Having confirmed the man's death, Jonah was about to quickly return to the jeep to treat Dave's injuries when he heard a cell phone vibrate from the man's pocket.

Jonah took out his phone, looked at the unknown number on it, blinked, and pressed the answer button.

"Graba, have you brought everyone back?"

"...He's dead. Who are you?"

"...Oh, I see. I'm Gin. And who are you?"

"The person who's going to kill you."
