Chapter 101: Hoshino Ki, the man who can shoot a sniper rifle!
He looked at his former childhood friend in disbelief.
"!!!"
"Okay! I understand!"
Conan turned around and lowered his head in disappointment.
Just a moment later.
He took out the Detective Boys’ badge from his pocket.
The Detective badge was a small badge made by Professor Agasa for the Detective Boys.
Used for communication between members of the Detective Boys.
The main component of the Detective badge was an ultra-small wireless walkie-talkie.
It was very convenient for communication and emergency conversations.
In addition!
The Detective badge contained an ultra-small telecommunication transmitter.
The location of the Detective badge could be known through the criminal tracking glasses.
And then tracking could be carried out through the badge.
"Mitsuhiko! Genta! Ayumi! Haibara! Where are you?"
On the roof of the skyscraper.
Hoshino Ki was alone, carrying an AWM, aiming at Gin on the roof of the opposite building.
AWM sniper rifle.
The English name is AWM Sniper rifle.
The full name is Arctic Warfare Magnum Sniper rifle.
Also known as Super Magnum.
Abbreviated as SM rifle.
This gun was a military bolt-action sniper rifle developed by the British company Accuracy International.
It was 1180 mm long, with a barrel length of 660 mm.
Originally, the AW series of rifles only used 7.62 mm bullets.
But to increase power and sniper distance.
The AWM sniper rifle began using .338 Lapua Magnum bullets (8.6 mm caliber).
Compared to sniper rifles using 12.7 mm bullets.
Because the AWM sniper rifle was only used to snipe enemies.
The shooting distance was basically the same.
But in terms of gun size, shooting sound, and recoil, it was smaller.
Fortunately, Hoshino Ki knew the anime plot.
He knew that Gin would shoot and fire cannons from the opposite building.
So he had prepared early to ambush him on the roof.
"Bang! Click!"
Hoshino Ki shot and shattered the walkie-talkie in Gin’s hand.
If his guess was correct.
Just now, he wanted to order his subordinates to blow up the connecting bridge between the two buildings.
That wouldn't do.
If the connecting bridge between the two buildings was blown up.
Hoshino Ki wouldn't be able to escape.
He saw in the scope.
Gin rolled and hid behind a stone pillar.
He could no longer see the other person’s figure in his field of vision.
Suddenly!
Gin’s figure reappeared in Hoshino Ki’s line of sight.
He saw that he had taken out another sniper rifle.
The muzzle was aimed in Hoshino Ki’s direction.
"Bang! Whoosh!"
The bullet grazed Hoshino Ki’s cheek.
Leaving a bloodstain on his side face!
Clearly!
Gin had fired quickly and hit the wall behind Hoshino Ki.
A huge black hole instantly appeared on the wall.
The black hole was surrounded by spiderweb-like cracks.
It seemed the sniper rifle Gin used had considerable power.
If Hoshino Ki hadn't been prepared, he would have been headshot just now.
Didn't expect there to be a backup plan?
Looking at Gin’s posture now.
It was clearly that he wanted to snipe against Hoshino Ki.
But Hoshino Ki didn't have enough time to waste with him.
Because the building he was in was on fire.
He had already prevented Gin from destroying the elevator and blowing up the bridge.
Compared to boring things like killing Gin.
Hoshino Ki wanted to see his incompetent rage after his mission failed!
Isn't that more painful than killing him?
Plus.
Now was not the best time to kill Gin.
Because he didn't know if it would affect the anime plot.
And Gin was a high-level member of the organization.
His death would surely cause a series of butterfly effects.
Even if one Gin was gone.
The organization would still send others to kill Ai Haibara.
He hadn't figured out the organization’s intelligence network yet.
Without Ai Haibara actively exposing herself, the organization could still easily find her.
This meant that there were still some unstable factors within the organization.
Leaving Gin alive just created an enemy he knew inside and out.
So he could better prevent trouble before it happened.
"......"
Hoshino Ki nimbly dodged Gin’s last shot.
He came behind the stone pillar.
And put the AWM into a box similar to a cello case.
This gun was brought over by the orchestra that came to the banquet this time.
So it didn't attract anyone’s attention.
"Bang!"
An explosion was heard.
The whole building instantly began to shake violently.
Time was tight.
It seemed he had to evacuate immediately.
"Ring ring..."
A cell phone ringtone suddenly came!
Hoshino Ki took the phone out of his pocket.
He saw the name displayed on the screen.
It was Ai Haibara’s name.
At this time.
The connecting bridge between the two buildings hadn't been blown up.
They should have all arrived safely downstairs.
So Hoshino Ki answered the phone.
"Ki!"
Ai Haibara’s hoarse voice came from the phone.
"!!!"
Hoshino Ki clenched the phone in his hand.
"The children and I... cough cough cough... we are... in front of the connecting bridge on the 60th floor of Building A!"
"!!!"
Building A of the skyscraper was exactly the building Hoshino Ki was in.
And this building was engulfed in fierce fire.
Furthermore, the fire in this building was fierce.
The fire snakes had already crept up along the various floors.
They had clearly reached the connecting bridge.
But why hadn't they gone down yet?
"Cough cough, the organization’s people are on the other side of the bridge, we can't get across!"
Ai Haibara covered her mouth and nose with her hand.
Struggling to talk to Hoshino Ki.
"!!?"
"Don't move from where you are! Wait for me!"
"Okay!"
On Ai Haibara’s side.
The Detective Boys, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, were all gathered together.
They were the only children left in the whole building.
They could have escaped with everyone else.
But because they encountered people suspected to be from the Black Organization halfway.
So they were trapped here at the connecting bridge.
The other party seemed to be installing new bombs.
They were just children with no power to truss a chicken.
Facing several big men holding bombs in their hands.
It was absolutely impossible to confront them head-on.
"What should we do? Haibara!"
Ayumi hid behind Ai Haibara in fear.
Covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
"Shh! Keep your body as low as possible! This can avoid being choked by the smoke."
"Ki... my brother, he will come to save us soon... definitely!"
Ai Haibara turned around to face Ayumi.
She placed her finger on her lips.
Signaling the other party to lower their voice.
When she said Hoshino Ki’s name.
Her body paused slightly.
After saying he would definitely come to save them.
Ai Haibara’s expression instantly became firm.
Giving Ayumi an incomparable sense of security.
"Really? That's great!"
Ayumi cheered in a low voice.
And following Ai Haibara’s gaze.
She had already seen the several men in black on the other side of the connecting bridge.
"Who are they?"
Genta leaned over and asked vigilantly.
"Looking at them, they definitely aren't good people!"
"Look, what they are holding in their hands, that should be a bomb, right?"
Mitsuhiko also leaned over.
Leaning his arms against the wall.
"Yeah! That’s a type of plastic explosive!"
"The correct name is composition C-4 (C-4 bomb, semtex)."
"It’s a mixture of nitrotoluene, nitrocellulose, dinitrotoluene, trinitrotoluene, octanitroamine, cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, wax, and other oily substances and RDX (high explosive)."
"Wow, Haibara, you know so much!"
"Yeah, you’re like a bomb expert!"
"Did Brother Hoshino teach you? That’s so cool!"
The three little ones instantly turned into fanboys (and fangirls).
"Now is not the time for this."
"They are all bad guys, desperadoes!"
"Before my brother comes, we must hide well and not be discovered by them."
"Otherwise it will be miserable!"
The three children were all scared by Ai Haibara’s serious tone.
All three stood respectfully.
Listening carefully to Ai Haibara’s words!
"Have you contacted the people below?"
Just then!
Conan’s voice came from Ayumi’s Detective badge:
"Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, can you hear me?"
Ayumi grabbed the Detective badge and replied:
"We hear you, Conan!"
"Where are you now?"
Mitsuhiko took out the Detective badge:
"We are... in front of the connecting bridge on the 60th floor!"
The voices of the crowd came from the Detective badge:
"What?!"
Then came Officer Megure’s voice:
"In that place? Takagi! Hurry and call for a rescue helicopter!"
"Yes!"
"Great! We’re saved..."
The three little ones sighed in relief.
Instantly their bodies went limp and they sat on the floor.
By this time, Conan had already run to get his skateboard.
He took the elevator all the way to the elevator lobby on the 60th floor of Building B.
"Ayumi! Mitsuhiko! Genta!"
Conan activated his skateboard and shouted loudly on the floor.
Ayumi stood up and looked around:
"What is that?"
Mitsuhiko also stood up:
"That sound is..."
Genta had a flash of inspiration:
"It’s the sound of a skateboard!"
The fog from Building A had already spread to Building B.
Therefore, Conan’s vision was relatively blurry.
He stepped on his skateboard and made his way to the connecting bridge.
Just as he was about to pass through the connecting bridge.
"Damn it! Why is there a brat here!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
