Chapter 1056: Bullet of Vengeance
"Everyone, please look here, according to the photos we got and the other party's sniper ability, the culprit in this incident should be his ......"
In a small conference room at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the FBI and the Search Division collaborated on the investigation, and James took the lead in analyzing the intelligence and bringing up a photo of an American serviceman.
"Timothy Hunt, 37 years old, is a former sniper under the U.S. Navy SEAL Special Forces, who has been a hero on the battlefield for 3 years, and has been awarded the Silver Star Medal.
The Silver Star is a medal of honor for a soldier's bravery in an engagement with a hostile armed force, and Hunt received the Silver Star in his second year, but was reclaimed the following year for suspected violations of the rules of engagement. β
Judy explained to Twilight.
"An army officer accused him of shooting unarmed civilians, and although the investigation did not result in a charge due to insufficient evidence, Hunt was tainted by the incident.
It is likely that after returning to the battlefield, Hunter lost his original composure, was isolated on the battlefield, and was hit in the head by an enemy bullet......
Gao Cheng sat at the front of the conference table with his fingers crossed, his eyes fixed on the character information posted on the whiteboard.
It sounds familiar, as if it is the plot of a movie about snipers in the middle......
"Hunt's misfortune didn't end there," Judy continued, "and after returning home, he moved to rural Seattle, Washington, in order to live a peaceful life, and the unbearable memories of the battlefield never faded away.
Not only that, his wife died of a drug overdose due to bankruptcy due to a failed investment, his sister committed suicide because of the cancellation of her marriage, and for the next 6 years, Hunter completely disappeared, but ...... 3 weeks ago"
Judy posted a new photo.
"Three weeks ago, a local newspaper reporter named Brian Woods in Seattle was sniped with a rifle and died on the spot, and the police investigated the victim and found that he wrote a series of tainted hero reports, which had a great impact on the Hunt couple.
After investigation by the police and the FBI, Hunter had a record of entering Japan two weeks ago, so the FBI headquarters ordered that we, who were on vacation in Japan, arrest Hunter as soon as possible. β
"I see."
Twilight nodded in understanding, and finally Shiratori got up and said, "Regarding this sniper incident, we found an unusual item on the roof of the building where the sniper was suspected, Chiba ......"
"Yes."
Chiba stepped forward and posted a photo.
"Between the hanging rails of the exterior cleaning trolley near the side of the Suzuki Tower, a dice was found, as well as an empty cartridge casing about 51 millimeters long, which was the same caliber as the 7.62 millimeter bullet used in the crime."
"It's Hunter's favorite MK11 rifle bullet that matches, it seems that he should be right." James confirmed.
"About the dice," Shiratori said curiously, "have you found anything at the sniper site in Seattle?" β
"Not really, but Hunter is a big fan of dice and heard that he has a tattoo on his left arm."
Agent Carmel, the big man with Judy, responded.
"Hiroaki Fujina, the real estate agent who was sniped this time, sold bad properties to Hunter 7 years ago, causing Hunter to go bankrupt, so Hunter's motive is sufficient......"
At the end of the meeting, Gao Cheng put away his notes and walked out of the conference room silently.
A relative of Shira Shinjun's classmates in the same grade is preparing to marry Fujinami Hiroaki, so he commissioned her to conduct a net worth investigation, and after investigating all the way, he found that Fujiba specializes in deceiving simple foreigners and selling bad real estate, which is also a bad retribution this time.
However, the prisoner's actions do not seem to end there.
According to the F.B.I., three people who could have been killed by Hunter happened to be in Japan.
Jack Waltz, 45, a former Army captain who reported Hunter's violation of the rules of engagement and is currently the owner of a military supplies manufacturing company, arrived in Kyoto with his family two days ago.
Bill Murphy, 35, Waltz subordinate, witness to Hunter's violation of the rules of engagement, former army sergeant, who entered Waltz's company as a secretary after being discharged from the army, is now stranded in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture.
Finally, Hitoshi Moriyama, 34 years old, the ex-fiancΓ© of Hunter's sister, who committed suicide because of the cancellation of the marriage, was a Japanese office worker stationed in Seattle, who left his job 4 years ago and is currently missing. Beans Literature Network
said that his whereabouts were unknown, but Gao Cheng had a hunch that Hitoshi Moriyama was likely to be in Japan.
This time, the stage is undoubtedly Japan.
Revenge......
Gao Cheng stepped out of the Metropolitan Police Department building and waited at the intersection for Uncle Maori and the people who also participated in the meeting.
Although he didn't know much about the inside story, there were some things he didn't have to think about to know, and the fact that Hunt violated the rules of engagement in the first place must have been a fictitious thing, and it could be seen from the relationship between Waltz and Murphy.
Even Hunt's later isolated shots on the battlefield may have been a waltzing tactic.
So this revenge is just incidental to everyone else, mainly against Waltz and Murphy, and if he guesses correctly, both of them should be left to settle at the end.
Hunter's next target is likely to be the office worker named Hitoshi Moriyama.
Gao Cheng frowned slightly.
Another thing that made him wonder why he didn't start taking revenge until 6 years later......
There is no reason to suddenly see through it, there must be some reason, something or someone who let Hunter know the truth.
"What's wrong, senior?" Sera Masumi followed up from behind and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong?" β
"I feel like Hunter should have accomplices." Gao Cheng turned his head and saw that Shiliang Zhenchun was very interested, and subconsciously looked at Conan again.
In the later stage of "Conan", the character creation gradually became face-painted, often advancing the plot for the sake of advancing the plot, and the fullness of the characters decreased significantly, especially in the theatrical version, and sometimes he wanted to hit people, so he hardly watched the theatrical version much later.
Fortunately, this world is quite normal, I don't know if it's because of his relationship, Conan doesn't like to die so much, but he is more cautious because he has suffered a lot.
Although something went wrong in the last incident at Teidan Elementary School, I also thought of asking Officer Shiratori for help.
Of course, the courage is actually as big as ever, especially when encountering a case, the desire to explore is not generally strong.
Thinking of this, Gao Cheng warned together with Shiliang Zhenchun: "The prisoner this time is not an ordinary person, and I can't stop you if you want to participate in the investigation, but if you find anything, don't act alone, just hand it over to the police." β
The other party is a master of sniping, and even he has to be cautious about a pair, and he may not be able to take care of Conan, but this guy will always be involved in the case inexplicably.
It's already evening, and when I return to the office, Okiya has a rare chance of helping to prepare dinner.
"Coming back, boss?" Curacao was the first to discover Gao Cheng.
"I said don't call me boss, Mr. Joto or Mr. Joto is fine."
Gao Cheng's gaze swept over Okiya.
Needless to say, Akai Shuichi must already know about the sniper incident, and Judy has also contacted it, after all, Akai Shuichi's sniping ability has basically no opponent in this world, and he is a master among snipers, and all kinds of common sense breaking existence.
As if sensing Gao Cheng's gaze, Okiya opened one eye slightly, took the soup pot with a smile and asked, "The sniper incident during the day is troublesome?" β
"It's fine."
Gao Cheng stared at Okiya for a while.
Isn't it tiring to squint all the time? My eyes are almost gone.
"That's right, Ku...... Tianhai," Gao Cheng sat down at the table and said to Curacao, "Can I trouble you to take care of Conan in the next few days?" β
"Yes, boss."
"It's not the boss, it's the teacher!"
