Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

Nanatsuki Koshimizu raised her watch, took another look at it, and finally couldn't help muttering.

At the Universe Theater, even according to the normal end time of "Josephine", it has been more than an hour since the curtain fell. Regardless of whether he encountered the illusionist killer or not, Yan Shuangying should have returned to the safe house.

However, until now, she has not seen Yan Shuangying.

So what's the half-human, half-ghost urban legend of Beika Town up to now? Did the illusionist killer escape the Cosmic Theater, and the urban legend quickly chase the illusionist killer? Or is he just going to perform his favorite drama of going straight to the dragon?

"Hmm...it feels like the second one."

The former high school female detective speculated.

After all, Yan Shuangying was the kind of man of action who would definitely do something if he had to, and would never put off today's work until tomorrow. If he really found the base of another criminal organization, his attitude would definitely become like this——

[Criminals, no mercy!], [There is no reason not to kill!]

To be on the safe side, she picked up the phone and called Asai Narumi.

However, Asai Narumi did not answer the phone.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu raised her eyebrows and then called Elechika, who did the same.

She had a rough idea in her mind, so she called Masayoshi Sakaguchi.

"…What's going on? Miss Koshimizu?"

The barrister's voice was gentle.

And Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked.

"Mr. Sakaguchi, Mr. Yan hasn't returned to the safe house yet. I'm just asking, is he with you?"

Masayoshi Sakaguchi did not respond immediately.

He looked around, scanning every shadow and corner to prevent the ghost story from happening as soon as he said he was not there and then the urban legend would refresh in his blind spot. Then he answered affirmatively.

"No, Mr. Yan is not with us."

"However, a paralegal at my firm who's still working overtime reviewing files just sent me a message saying he saw someone speeding down the streets of Beika Town..."

Oh, the only difference between Yan Shuangying and the biker gang is that Yan Shuangying doesn’t bomb the streets, so it might really be him.

Chapter 304 Snake's Choice (1/5)

Tokyo, Beika-cho district.

The Japanese public security vehicles were closely following the shadow of Snake, a member of the mysterious organization, but they had not yet completely blocked Snake's escape route, or stepped on the accelerator to catch up with Snake and capture him.

Like a cat playing with mouse, they don't seem to be in a hurry to catch this member of the mysterious organization?

In fact, this is not the case. Even Snake, who is only an ordinary code-named member in the mysterious organization, knows very well that the Japanese police are like the jackals raised by this country. As long as they find prey, they will never let go if there is any benefit.

Now that his identity and whereabouts have been exposed, the Japanese police are not in a hurry to catch him.

Then there is a possibility——

The Japanese police were using him as bait to lure out many members of mysterious organizations, or deliberately letting him wander around the city to find the bases of those mysterious organizations.

So, will the gentleman from the mysterious organization send someone to rescue him?

Snake didn't even need to think about it, he knew that the gentleman would never do that.

After all, the purpose of the mysterious organization's birth is to find the Pandora's Stone that contains the secret of eternal life, so that the gentleman can obtain eternal life. Sending people to rescue him now will only cause the power of the mysterious organization to be hit.

The progress of that gentleman gaining eternal life has therefore fallen behind, so that gentleman will definitely not send anyone to rescue him.

————After all, he is not on the same level as Spider, a senior codenamed member of the organization. It is even more likely that the gentleman will send someone to find an opportunity to kill him to prevent him from leaking secrets than to save him.

"...At this point, it seems there is only one way to go."

The look in the eyes of this member of the mysterious organization grew firm.

He thought of the many resources that gentleman had given him since he joined the mysterious organization, but he had achieved nothing in his actions against Kaito Kidd and had no way to repay him. Now, it was time for him to repay him——

Snake stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel to the bottom, and did a handsome drift.

The many Japanese police officers following behind were suddenly shocked.

They hadn't expected this mysterious organization's driving skills to be so exceptional, capable of performing a racing trick like drifting through a sewer. But what was the point? With such a tight net and the advantage in my hands, how could the other party escape?

At this moment, Rei Furuya, who was inside the Tokyo headquarters of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, mobilized the surveillance cameras in the surrounding area.

He silently thought about Snake's next escape direction and destination.

Then, Furuya Rei looked at the direction of Snake's escape with some surprise.

If this codenamed member of the mysterious organization had the same level of training as the outer members of the Black Organization, he would definitely know that heading towards the outskirts of the city would mean certain death.

After all, the Japanese police are not fools and will definitely block the exits from the city as soon as possible.

Fleeing in the direction of dense vehicles and crowds may disrupt the Japanese police's pursuit rhythm. If you have extraordinary qualities, you can abandon the car and sneak into the crowd after disrupting the Japanese police's pursuit rhythm, which will allow you to escape for at least three more days.

As a codenamed member of a mysterious organization, doesn't Snake even have this little common sense?

Rei Furuya, who was once a codenamed member of the Black Organization, subconsciously reached out and touched his forehead.

He looked at Makoto Kusakabe next to him, and Makoto Kusakabe's hands were flying quickly on the laptop keyboard. Then, Makoto Kusakabe raised his head strangely and looked at Rei Furuya, and he said.

"There seems to be a shell company over there, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has received information about suspicious individuals there."

————Hmm? Are you trying to do something else, like letting your friend die rather than letting me die?

Fūya Rei clapped his hands in sudden realization.

He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and issued instructions to many Japanese public security members.

"Narrow the encirclement. The target is very likely to flee to the mysterious organization's base outside Beika Town."

"Be prepared to engage the enemy at any time. In this operation, we must not allow any codenamed members or peripheral members of the mysterious organization to escape. We must ensure that they are all captured in one fell swoop and no future troubles will be left!"

Hearing the command from Rei Furuya.

The Japanese public security members who were chasing Snake responded immediately.

"Received, now start adjusting the pursuit speed."

He deliberately slowed down a little.

The Japanese public security vehicles that were forming a circle in other directions stepped on the accelerator and accelerated to ensure that they could form the circle before Snake's vehicle arrived at the company location reported by Rei Furuya.

Snake noticed the pursuing vehicle slowing down.

However, he did not relax at all.

Just as Rei Furuya guessed, as a code member of the mysterious organization, Snake's combat qualities may not be as good as the code members of the Black Organization, but at least he is much stronger than the peripheral members of the Black Organization.

He knew that if he fled to a place with heavy traffic, he might be able to escape in the short term.

But that gentleman would definitely send someone to kill him who had escaped temporarily, to prevent him from leaking the secrets of the mysterious organization. Therefore, if Snake really responded to the situation normally, he would be dead.

Therefore, he had only one choice——

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Although the mysterious organization did treat him well, what was his code name?

The corners of Snake's mouth curled up, and he looked as dangerous as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

His code name is [Snake], which means snake!

As we all know, snakes are the most ungrateful animals, just like the farmer and the snake, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, Lu Dongbin and the dog, Hao Jian and the old lady. If a snake does not bite back after being rescued, can it still be called a snake?

Snake stepped on the accelerator and drove the car towards the base of the mysterious organization he knew.

The peripheral killers at the mysterious organization's base have no idea what they are about to face.

At this moment, they were sitting together, maintaining their guns and listening to the voice coming from the intercom in the middle of the table - this was the instructions from that gentleman, and as members of the mysterious organization, they naturally had to listen attentively.

"Get rid of Snake, he's getting in the way."

The gentleman from the mysterious organization spoke without mercy.

"We must do this before he is caught by the Japanese public security and reveals the existence of our organization!"

A peripheral killer asked seriously.

"So how do I find Snake?"

The gentleman's tone turned cold.

"There's a locator sewn inside Snake's clothes. I'll tell you his location right now. He's right here... huh?"

At this moment, even the gentleman couldn't hold it anymore.

"He's on the street outside your base, and he's getting closer!"

Chapter 305: Without a moment's hesitation for the mysterious organization, the next one arrives... (2/5)

Just like the gentleman from the mysterious organization, his first reaction when encountering trouble is to get rid of the person who caused the trouble.

As a codenamed member trained by that gentleman, Snake would undoubtedly do the exact same thing to help himself out of danger.

The man's voice stopped abruptly.

But after just saying half of the sentence, the many assassins from the mysterious organization in the stronghold also knew what the gentleman meant.

One of the peripheral killers sneered.

"I thought Snake was a coward, but I didn't expect that he would come here to die instead of us looking for him!"

"Brothers, grab your weapons and give him a ride. Let's see how much stronger this damn codename killer is than us outsiders!"

Without a word, many peripheral members picked up their guns, and the gentleman's voice completely disappeared from the intercom.

Things have come to this point, there is no need for him to say anything more, it is meaningless.

call out----

Snake's car cut through the air and drove towards the base of the mysterious organization at a very fast speed. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

At that time, he would lead the external killers to fight with the Japanese police, and then he would fake his death and escape.

At that time, it will be like a dragon returning to the sea or a bird returning to the forest. From then on, he will be free to do whatever he wants, no matter the mysterious organization or the scary urban legend.

However, just when Snake was still thinking about how to guide the peripheral killers to fight with the Japanese police and prevent this group of rabble from running away directly.
