Model worker and his little darling

Here, Heikichi followed Gin to the location they had scouted.

Ping Qing put down the cello case, opened it to reveal a sniper rifle, glanced at the time—it was almost midnight, and there was still more than an hour before the target arrived.

After checking on Conan's situation, it seemed they were close to deciphering the code. So, I took out my phone, cleared my throat, and spoke in a melodious female voice.

However, the voice was now filled with panic, "Is...is it the police? I...I saw a lot of bodies, the location is..."

When Gin saw Hirai call the police in a sweet, girlish voice, he felt a chill run down his spine and got goosebumps. He then walked away a little further away.

After hanging up the phone with satisfaction, Ping Qing sighed deeply. In addition to Xiao Lan, who was dedicated to calling the police, there was now another person in the world, him.

Who knew that the Ghost Tiger Gang hadn't been discovered yet? In order to give Inspector Megure something to do, he had to take on the important task of calling the police himself.

He also gave a detailed description of the man with the rifle, and I vaguely remember that he seemed to be related to the police.

Pingqing looked up and saw Gin standing the furthest away from him. He was a little confused. What was wrong with this guy?

Ignoring what Gin was thinking, Taira no Kiyoshi took out his disguise materials, and in no time, a handsome face appeared.

Holding the small mirror, I looked at myself from left to right. Not bad. Although it was different from the real person, it still looked about 70-80% like me. It was enough to fool Conan.

Amuro Tooru just sent him a message saying that Akai Shuichi has appeared and he's already gone to investigate. Remembering that he met Haibara yesterday, Hirai immediately decided to use this face to leave the deepest impression on Conan and Haibara.

Anyway, no matter what goes wrong in the middle, Conan will definitely come and interfere when he takes action.

Gin watched Hirai disguise himself and felt a headache coming on. It was just a sniper job, why make it so complicated? He walked over and saw the face, then instantly drew his Beretta from his waist.

Upon seeing this, Pingqing immediately pressed down on Gin's hand, "Big brother, it's me, don't get agitated."

"I know it's you. What are you trying to do?"

Seeing Gin's gritted teeth, Hirai tidied his hair. Tsk, such long hair is such a hassle. I don't know why everyone likes to keep their hair long.

"Koto-chan~, you go ahead and leave this place to me."

Seeing that Hirai was about to cause trouble, Gin frowned. "Our main target is that prosecutor. Let's not create any unnecessary complications."

"Bourbon said they've found Shuichi Akai's trail. Wouldn't it be perfect for me to use this face to cause some trouble?"

Actually, if Touko hadn't sent him the message, he would have almost forgotten that such a person existed. They had a blood feud between them, but it was all because he had focused all his attention on Gin lately.

Gin didn't move, but Hirakiyo pushed him, "Hurry up, hurry up, time's almost up, don't delay my work."

Seeing that Hirai was ready, Gin left with a warning to be careful.

……

Conan felt something was off about the code, and Mitsuhiko also felt they needed to rethink it, so he took out a calculator and pressed the numbers again.

From Conan's perspective, it's upside down. Looking at the calculator, he suddenly realizes that this message needs to be written in the calculator's font and then read upside down.

"It was 1:00 AM on the 13th, the time when the Heisei Express was being sniped."

Inspector Megure was preparing to call a helicopter to rescue the officer when he received a message from the Metropolitan Police Department that someone had reported the officer had been murdered.

Everyone was shocked. Conan and Ai Haibara simultaneously thought of Gin's appearance and realized that the organization had done it.

"Now that the police officer has been killed, there shouldn't be anyone sniping the Heisei Express, right?"

Hearing Uncle Mori's words, Inspector Megure nodded. "Thank you for your help this time, Brother Mori. I'll head over there to handle things now."

"No, Inspector Megure. Someone will definitely target the Heisei Express. We saw two men in black yesterday. They were just standing on the rooftop. Now that I think about it, their target must have been the Heisei Express."

Uncle Mori punched Conan on the head, "Why didn't you say so sooner, you brat?"

"I forgot," Conan said, covering his head in grievance.

He originally intended to use this opportunity to expose Gin and his group to the Metropolitan Police Department, but who knew they would act so quickly and kill the group from yesterday.

Inspector Megure quickly boarded the helicopter to prepare for action, but when he turned around, he found that Conan had also sneaked on. Since rescuing people was urgent, there was no time to drive Conan away, so he could only symbolically put a level 3 helmet on Conan.

The helicopter traveled north along the express train route.

Seeing that the time had come, Pingqing picked up his sniper rifle and aimed it at the heart of a man on the express train.

"call out--"

As Pingqing pulled the trigger, a bullet spun rapidly downwards, striking the man's heart.

At that moment, Inspector Megure arrived in a helicopter. Hirai clicked his tongue, thinking, "Sure enough, the Grim Reaper never misses a big scene like this."

Conan saw the sniping scene and spotted Hirakiyo on the rooftop. "Inspector Megure, look! There he is!"

Sure enough, that organization also made its move.

Ping Qing slightly curled his lips, slowly raised the muzzle of his sniper rifle, and aimed it at the helicopter pilot.

At that moment, the sniper on the helicopter and Conan's Ashikiken also aimed at Hirakiyo.

"Hush-hush-"

Two more shots were fired, one hitting the pilot's arm and the other hitting the instrument panel, and the helicopter instantly lost control.

As the helicopter lurched, Conan nearly tumbled off, but Inspector Megure grabbed him, preventing him from falling out.

The sniper fired a shot at Pingqing, who dodged it with a roll.

Ha, you think that's all?

Seeing the helicopter swaying back and forth, Ping Qing aimed at Inspector Megure and said, "Sorry, Inspector Megure, I'll help you solve a couple more cases in the future." He then hit Inspector Megure on the shoulder.

Pingqing looked up and, after confirming that they had seen his face, swaggered away from the rooftop with his gun on his shoulder.

Thanks to the driver's superb driving skills and, most importantly, Conan's help, the driver successfully landed on a nearby open space. Soon after, an ambulance took the people away.

At the hospital, Uncle Mori carefully examined Conan several times. After discovering that he only had scratches, he started his lecture, "What's wrong with you, kid? You actually sneaked onto the helicopter all by yourself. If it weren't for Inspector Megure protecting you, you would have fallen from the sky and been turned into mincemeat."

Conan kept his head down and didn't say anything, his mind constantly thinking about that person's appearance, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Seeing that Conan didn't say anything, Uncle Mori got even angrier and was about to hit him, but Ran stopped him.

When everyone went to visit Inspector Megure, Conan pulled Ai Haibara aside and told her what he had seen.

Upon hearing this, Haibara thought, "Shuichi Akai? Isn't he an FBI agent? He left the organization a long time ago, so why would he still be working for them? Was that incident a hoax? Or is this person a fake?"

Haibara felt overwhelmed and didn't answer Conan's question, instead following the others ahead.

Conan wanted to press for more information, but Ai Haibara coldly replied, "This isn't the time to talk about this in a hospital."

Conan had no choice but to follow behind the others.

Pingqing found Gin not far away, and as soon as he got in the car, he called to greet his favorite tool.

"Bourbon, where are you? Have you found Shuichi Akai? Do you want me to come help you?"
