Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

With a cruel smile playing on her lips, she was clearly not a good woman.

He recognized the person as Chianti, a female sniper from the brewery organization, who was also a madwoman.

Shiraishi Xiu couldn't help but glance behind him. Vodka and the others were all sitting quietly in their seats, without making a sound.

Gin slowly drank the wine in his glass, the smile on his lips widening.

Chianti bared her teeth and reached down to touch her lower back.

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and simply lifted his raincoat—

Ding!

A ring fell down, followed by a cylinder, making two rolling sounds on the floor.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment. Gin and the others' pupils shrank, and they all turned their heads to the side and closed their eyes tightly.

嗡?

A dazzling white light emanated from the cylinder, instantly illuminating the bar as if it were daytime.

Chapter 0095: The Thorny Witch

rainy night.

Inside the bar.

The moment the flashbang went off, Shiraishi Xiu instantly sprang into action and rushed toward the stairs beside him.

Upon entering the building, it was completely dark. The staircase ended there, and the staircase leading to the next floor was at the very end of this floor.

Shiraishi Xiu felt his heart racing, and an indescribable surge of power coursing through his body. With a flick of his wrist, the Desert Eagle appeared in his hand, and he unleashed a barrage of shots at the rear.

With his other hand, he raised a red smoke grenade, which he then slammed onto the ground, causing red smoke to swirl around it.

Just as Shiraishi Xiu was about to rush to the next stairwell, countless bullets came flying wildly from the smoke behind him, sparks flying and the surrounding furniture breaking apart. This forced Shiraishi Xiu to retreat and hide behind a large sofa.

"Little mouse! I'll catch you." Gin's cold voice rang out from within the red smoke.

"Bang bang bang!!!" His response was a barrage of bullets fired by Shiraishi Shuichi.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

The two sides exchanged fire in this small space. Even though Shiraishi Xiu had a Desert Eagle with unlimited bullets, he couldn't withstand the fire from several directions. Most importantly, his marksmanship was poor, and he didn't even know where his shots were going.

"Huh...huh..."

Shiraishi Osamu gasped for breath, glanced up at the room filled with red smoke, listened carefully to the silence that had fallen on the other side, and pondered what to do.

With a casual scoop, a high-explosive grenade appeared in his hand. A smile played on his lips as he tossed it behind him.

Gin had just stood up behind some cover when he heard the whistling wind.

The next second, a cylindrical object flew over from within the red smoke.

In a flash, he raised his hand and fired a shot.

"boom!"

A spark flashed, followed by a "ding" sound as the high-explosive grenade was deflected, and then a "boom" followed.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!" Another whooshing sound rang out. Gin didn't have time to dodge and just tilted his head.

"Thud!" A sound of flesh being pierced came from his shoulder, and two "thumps" came from the wall beside him.

"Big brother!"

Vodka shouted urgently and fired a few more shots into the smoke before finally reaching Gin's side.

Gin glanced at the playing cards strapped to his shoulder, gently pulled them off, and casually tossed them on the ground. At the same time, he touched the small cuts on his cheek and neck caused by the playing cards.

Yes, fan, thought.

He (badj) never expected that someone would actually hurt him with playing cards. If he hadn't tilted his head to the side, his carotid artery might have been slashed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shiraishi Shu rushed up to the fifth floor in one go, throwing a red smoke bomb on each floor, making Gin and the others afraid to run around recklessly and only able to search forward.

"Whoosh..." Before him was the door to the top floor, and Shiraishi Xiu crashed into it without thinking.

boom!

He was bounced back and stared blankly at the door, probably because it was blocked from behind.

Looking around, he spotted a window nearby. He ran over, but the hair on his head stood on end, and he quickly pulled back.

boom!

A large hole was punched in the wall behind him.

"Holy crap!" Shiraishi Xiu broke out in a cold sweat instantly, not expecting there to be a sniper in the distance.

He quickly racked his brain and remembered a man who was often with Chianti—Cohen.

At that moment, the sound of rain pouring down outside filled the room, creating a truly oppressive atmosphere.

Shiraishi Xiu casually took out another high-explosive grenade, pulled the pin, and threw it towards the rooftop door. With a loud bang, the door was blown apart.

Instead of rushing out, he threw a few more smoke grenades on the rooftop, and then a few high-explosive grenades and flashbangs behind him before bursting out the door.

What came into view was a cloud of red smoke.

Although he threw the smoke himself, he couldn't see it, in order to confuse the snipers in the distance.

Rain hit my face.

It calmed him down considerably.

He randomly picked a direction and ran towards it, when suddenly his feet slipped and he realized he had run off the rooftop.

Just as a smile appeared on his lips, he saw a woman climb up from outside, and then one by one...

boom!

The two collided.

They both plummeted down the building.

Vermouth didn't foolishly run upstairs; instead, she prepared to go up to the top floor from the outside to ambush them.

But she never expected that when she was about to reach the top floor, a person would suddenly rush out from the red smoke and knock her down.

Is he out of his mind?

These were her last thoughts before she fell.

midair.

Under the cover of darkness.

The rain pelted the two of them as if it were free, and Shiraishi Osamu fell down with Vermouth around his waist.

Vermouth stared at the eyes beneath the brim of the hat, and memories of her time in New York flooded her mind.

That night...

It was a rainy night too.

It was another man, staring at her with such a cold yet not indifferent gaze.

Looking at her rain-soaked face, her cold, beautiful eyes, and her vibrant red lips, Shiraishi Xiu instinctively lowered his head and kissed her.

The moment the kiss happened.

Time seemed to speed up as they began to fall rapidly.

call out!

A wisp of white spider silk flashed by and stuck to a utility pole not far away.

The two strands swayed gracefully in the air before landing steadily on the ground. Bai Shixiu released his grip, and the spider silk instantly retracted into his watch.

"ah?!"

Shiraishi Osamu couldn't help but scream in pain, immediately releasing Vermouth. He wiped his mouth and found a pool of blood; the woman had bitten his lip.

Indeed, witches are thorny.

If you're not careful, you can harm yourself and others.

Vermouth flicked her rain-soaked hair, drew her pistol, and aimed it at Shiraishi Osamu.

She had already recognized him.

The two stared at each other. Looking into those beautiful eyes with their cold gaze, Shiraishi Xiu felt, for some reason, that she was putting on an act.

He glanced at the house shrouded in red smoke ahead, a smile playing on his lips. He then looked at Vermouth, opened his mouth but said nothing, and turned and ran.

Vermouth: ...

Vermouth felt offended; she was treated like a human being, so she turned and ran away. It was truly despicable.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled again, and the rain intensified.

Vermouth watched Shiraishi Osamu's retreating figure disappear, licked her lips slightly, and said with a cold smile:

"Young man, this matter won't end so easily..."

After saying that, the image of being rescued by Shiraishi in New York flashed through her mind again, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

Chapter 0096: The Promise Three Months Later

Shiraishi Osamu left not long ago.

The red smoke from the entire house dissipated.

Gin, Vodka, and Chianti appeared on the rooftop, letting the rain pelt them, looking down at everything in silence.

Vodka said uneasily, "Brother, I checked during the day, there's no way anyone could have left anything here to escape."

Gin said indifferently, "For experts, this level is nothing; there are countless ways to leave."

The words had barely left his lips.

Footsteps sounded behind me.
