Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Conan suddenly looked up at the building across the street.

"It seems impossible. The distance is at least two hundred meters. No sniper rifle could leave only bullet holes without shattering the glass at that distance."

"Unless the killer used a super weapon!"

Considering the various inexplicable actions Cao Yu had taken, Conan felt that it was actually quite reasonable for him to have sniped the president.

"Brother Mori, I almost forgot, there's another reason I asked you to come here. I'd like you to use the bullet holes to determine the trajectory of the bullets and find the sniper's location."

Following Conan's prompting "Ah-ra-ra," Inspector Megure led Kogoro Mouri to the window.

"Get out of the way, kid, stop getting in my way."

Kogoro Mouri grabbed Conan by the back of his collar and threw him aside.

Then he started gesturing to the bullet holes in the glass.

“Inspector Megure, based on my judgment, the murderer should have sniped the victim from the building on the left across the street. You can send someone to search it; 02 might be able to find some useful clues.”

Although he wasn't a sniper, he was a skilled marksman with considerable confidence in his ability to judge bullet trajectories.

"Takagi, go and search the area, paying special attention to whether there are any spent shell casings."

Inspector Megure trusted Kogoro Mouri completely and directly dispatched his best man, Takagi.

"It's 371! Seven 29" One One

Takagi saluted and jogged off to investigate.

Conan, rubbing his sore bottom, got up from the ground and walked over to the body to examine it carefully.

But apart from the bullet hole in his head, there were no other useful clues.

In addition, there was something else he couldn't understand.

If Cao Yu is indeed the murderer, then why would he target the company's president?

Given his modus operandi, he would only target the police of island nations or the US FBI, as well as some heinous criminals, and would never harm innocent civilians.

Could it be that the deceased was engaged in illegal business, or that Cao Yu was acting under someone's orders?

But looking across the entire island nation, it's unlikely that anyone could control him.

money!

Conan's eyes lit up as he looked at the two coins scattered on the ground.

This murder case is very likely a case of hiring someone to kill.

Jingle Bell……

A few minutes later, Inspector Megure's cell phone rang.

"Hello, this is Inspector Megure!"

"Inspector Megure, we've found the bullet casing. It also has wolf claw marks on it."

Takagi's voice came through the phone.

"Yes, very good!"

"Brother Mori, your analysis is correct. Takagi found the remaining shell casings."

Inspector Megure hung up the phone and informed Kogoro Mouri of the news.

"Based on the evidence collected so far, it is still impossible to confirm the identity of the murderer."

Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Even if we know Cao Yu is involved, what good is it if the chain of evidence is incomplete?

Rushing to arrest them would only alert them.

"Didn't you just say that in the case related to Cao Yu, there were bullets and shell casings that were the same as those left at the scene? Although we can't arrest him, we can ask him to cooperate with the investigation. Maybe we can find some useful clues."

With a series of murders occurring in his jurisdiction, Inspector Megure was extremely anxious.

Regardless, he was prepared to clash with Cao Yu.

"There seems to be no better solution at the moment!"

After thinking for a moment, Kogoro Mouri realized that Inspector Megure made sense.

"Cao Yu left his address during the mall robbery, so let's get going without delay!"

When Inspector Megure needs to boost his performance, Kogoro Mouri is naturally indispensable.

The task of collecting clues is handled by the relevant departments, so it seems that their presence wouldn't be of much help.

……

at the same time!

Cao Yu helped Amuro Tooru evade the police's sight and reached a safe location without any major incident.

"We finally evaded the police!"

Amuro Tooru breathed a sigh of relief once he got into the car.

"It's not like we've encountered a flood or a ferocious beast. With me here, you'll be safe and sound. Even if a special forces team comes, we'll still wipe them out."

Cao Yu remained unusually calm, completely disregarding the police.

He's now a walking arsenal, easily subduing a group of police officers armed with pistols.

It wasn't that Cao Yu was so calm because his mind was full of thoughts about overwhelming the enemy with firearms; rather, it was that even if he were caught, he would have a whole host of reasons to ensure his safety.

Even if I get caught, I'm not afraid!

At most, they'll bomb the Metropolitan Police Department again, then pack their bags and leave.

"Having cleaned up two gangs in a row, shouldn't we go and deal with the rats among the outer members?"

Cao Yu turned his head and asked deliberately.

It's obvious that there are police moles among the peripheral members. Amuro Tooru is only targeting small gangs, either to buy time for the moles to withdraw, or because he doesn't intend to carry out the cleanup as Gin intended.

But Cao Yu didn't care about all that; making money and accumulating capital as quickly as possible was the only way forward.

In case we ever fall out with the distillery, it will be good to build our own power base.

"Can't you see I'm spitting blood? Let's stop here for today!"

Amuro Tooru refused outright.

"If it's inconvenient for you, just tell me the target's information. You can go back and focus on recovering. I can handle this all by myself."

"Once you receive your bonus, you'll get your half, not a penny less."

Cao Yu turned the car key but hesitated to press the accelerator.

33 “Then wouldn’t I be unworthy of such an offer? I’ll go with you anyway, as if I’m risking my life to accompany you.”

Amuro Tooru had no choice but to accompany Cao Yu.

In case it really involves an undercover police officer, he can seize the opportunity to lend a helping hand.

"I didn't force you, don't blame me if you accidentally break your leg."

"Tell me, where is our next target?"

Cao Yu didn't care; if Amuro Tooru wanted to follow, so be it.

"Drive, I'll give you directions!"

Amuro Tooru took a deep breath and shifted into a more comfortable position to ease the pain in his body.

Half an hour later!

The two arrived at the building of a high-tech development company.

As soon as Cao Yu stopped the car, Amuro Tooru took a photo out of his pocket and handed it to him.

"This is the target of this mission: an external member of the organization, whose identity is a software engineer. Under the guise of assisting the organization in developing software, he secretly stole some of the organization's secrets."

"Whether to kill or spare is entirely up to you!"

Unlike the elite members who live a carefree life and receive a substantial monthly allowance, the peripheral members of the distillery need to earn their own living while keeping their identities hidden.

Furthermore, not all peripheral members are evil; some are skilled individuals who were forced to join the distillery as prospective elite members under duress, rather than acting voluntarily.

Chapter 71 Using Both Kindness and Strictness

The person in the photo is one of those who were threatened.

Amuro Tooru had investigated his identity. Although he was reluctant to kill him, stealing the brewery's secrets was a major taboo, and Gin designated him as one of the people to be eliminated after receiving the information.

"Oh, so I get to decide?"

Cao Yu understood the implied meaning.

He knew that the people around the distillery were a mixed bag, including kind people like Miyano Akemi and murderers like Numabuchi Ichiro.

From Amuro Tooru's tone, Cao Yu guessed that he did not want to kill the target this time.

The reason they provided the information is obvious; it must have been a direct order from Gin.

After all, he stole the distillery's secrets and must die!

"Do you really think I can complete a mission with you in my current state?"

Amuro Tooru glanced at his blood-stained clothes, a helpless smile flashing across his lips.

Given his current appearance, if he gets out of the car and is seen by passersby, he'll probably attract the police within three minutes.

If he gets caught, he will no longer be able to work undercover at the distillery.

As for the fate of the target, it is up to Cao Yu to decide; even if he wants to protect him, he is powerless to do so at the moment.

"Okay, I know what to do."

Cao Yu noted down the target's facial features and basic information, burned the photo with a lighter, then got out of the car to complete the mission.

Not long!

Having obtained information about his target, Cao Yu had a smooth journey and successfully met the person in person.

"Ashida Kainan, do you know why I'm looking for you?"

The target was named Ashida Kainan, a middle-aged man who appeared to be very honest and simple.

Cao Yu wasn't in a hurry to reveal his identity and sat down on the sofa without a word.

"Sir, this seems to be our first meeting?"

Ashida Kainan closed the office door and asked in bewilderment.

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Cao Yu, as you may have heard of me. Also, I am a member of the Black Organization, specializing in cleaning up unruly members."

As Cao Yu spoke, he took out a pistol and placed it on the coffee table.

Member of the Black Organization?

Upon learning Cao Yu's identity and seeing him pull out a pistol, Ashida Kainan's expression changed drastically, and he turned to flee the office.

"Don't move, or you'll become a corpse."

Cao Yu picked up his pistol and aimed it at Ashida Kenan's back.

If he dared to take another step forward, he would surely be shot through the heart.

"What do you want?"

Ashida Kenan was terrified, his forehead beaded with sweat.

"Don't be nervous, sit down and let's talk!"

Cao Yu put down his gun and pointed to the chair opposite him.

Faced with the threat of death, Ashida Kainan dared not resist and sat down in the chair, trembling.

"You've got some nerve, daring to steal the organization's data. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Cao Yu's tone turned serious, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

“I know the Black Organization’s methods perfectly well. I stole the secrets to protect myself.”

"As it turns out, I was absolutely right. Even if you follow the organization's orders to complete the mission, you will still eventually die."
