Chapter 336

But soon he heard the sound of footsteps rushing toward him, making Edogawa Conan's heart tighten once again.

Terrible! They're coming for me!

Edogawa Conan could not afford any false hope and immediately started running.

He absolutely could not stop at this moment; otherwise, the price of stopping was something he could not bear.

"Bang!"

Just around a corner, the gunshot rang out again, and another hole was blasted into the corner of the wall.

Edogawa Conan felt his life was truly playing a game of chance with the Grim Reaper's scythe; a moment's carelessness might mean dying from a single bullet.

Moreover, the leader of that bandit gang behind him would absolutely not give him any extra chances.

Especially now that the police had already begun deploying around the area.

Yet precisely because of this, Edogawa Conan wanted to slap himself even more.

Telling you to rush over here to delay time without first observing the situation nearby.

Even if delaying time, you should have kept a certain distance from that bandit gang leader.

Just as Edogawa Conan began his escape, Sato Miwako outside had also heard the commotion inside.

Her face darkened, and she immediately began issuing commands.

"Action team, follow me inside!"

"Riot squad, hold the rear!"

"Everyone else, secure the perimeter!"

While commanding, Sato Miwako glanced up at the high ground of the supermarket.

"Have the snipers arrived?"

"Snipers in position!"

The voice coming over the radio made Sato Miwako feel somewhat relieved.

"Snipers, pay attention to the situation; if a target is spotted, prioritize lethal force."

"Understood!"

"Begin operation!"

Sato Miwako led the team charging at the very front...

Even before leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Sato Miwako had collected her own bulletproof vest.

So she too charged at the very front.

All the action team members were extremely brave.

The action team at the front and the riot squad at the rear were all truly outstanding in their seriousness.

Because everyone knew this operation was very important.

And it was obvious that the merit from this operation could make their records look even better.

Of course, they also knew that this operation was led by Officer Sato.

With all elements gathered, how could any member of the action team not be serious?

They each charged faster than at any other time.

The action team at the very front, the team led by Sato Miwako, rushed directly toward the sound of the gunfire.

Damn it!

The female leader of the bandit gang chasing the kid also heard the dense sound of footsteps behind her.

But in just a few dozen seconds, the footsteps behind seemed about to catch up.

Catching up, Sato Miwako, upon seeing the armed female leader, did not say a word about putting down her weapon; instead, she aimed while running.

"Bang!"

The female leader felt a pushing force in her abdomen, followed immediately by intense pain, instantly making her realize she could not escape.

Stumbling, she quickly raised her gun and, in a short time, aimed at the female police officer who had shot her.

"Scatter!"

Noticing this, Sato Miwako immediately shouted and dove quickly toward cover on her side.

Every action team member's nerves were taut, and each moved very quickly.

"Bang!"

Because everyone moved very quickly, plus Sato Miwako's warning was very timely, that shot yielded no results.

The female leader's face looked grim, yet she quickly hid behind a wall.

But she failed to notice her location; to her right was the supermarket's glass, placing her almost exactly in the sniper's best position.

"Sniper, target acquired."

Upon receiving the message, Sato Miwako issued the order without hesitation.

"Fire!"

"Bang!"

A flower of blood instantly bloomed on the female leader's head; with a face full of disbelief, she clutched her abdomen and fell to the ground.
