And at the same time that Sano received this message from Officer Twilight, he was also told another clue, and I don't know if it will be a-stirring stick......

That's Hunter in Neon, and possibly an accomplice.

Officer Twilight gives Sano's three people information about it.

One is a former Marine who was saved by Hunter.

There is currently a military equipment store in Neon...... On the surface, of course, it's something that resembles a toy, but according to Officer Twilight.

It is possible that the store is secretly operating a weapons channel.

That is, the sniper rifle used by Hunter, probably provided by this guy.

The other is a former Navy SEAL Master Chief, also a former sniper instructor.

Hunter has a teacher-student relationship with this person.

And this person, who currently has a motorcycle shop in Neon, just happened to be the motorcycle that Conan and Amuro saw when they were chasing that day.

It came out of this shop.

Finally, there is Amerika's military adviser in Japan......

It's really outrageous, there are so many people from the Amelica military.

Sano holds a gamepad in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.

While playing a game with the little girl that he got back from Dr. Asasa, he listened to Officer Twilight's small mouth explain the status of the case.

"Ahh

As the character controlled by Sano on TV rose up, a "You Win!" flew out of his head. The little girl's character lying motionless on the ground floated out of her head with "You Lose!" slogan.

"Lost again......"

has lost more than a dozen in a row, and the little girl is full of pain and unwillingness.

"Looks like you're still far away."

Sano smiled arrogantly, grinding the little girl's teeth louder and louder.

“…… What are you talking about, Brother Sano? ”

On the phone, Officer Twilight's voice was confused.

"Ah, so you haven't hung up yet, Officer Twilight."

As soon as he heard Sano's words, Officer Twilight on the other end of the phone suddenly darkened his face.

"Listen carefully to me when others are talking, hey!"

Officer Twilight said depressedly, "Did you listen to what I just told you?" ”

"Listen...... Hurry up, let's get the next one. ”

Sano was perfunctory to Officer Twilight, while urging the little girl to open the next handful.

"Hey!"

Officer Twilight's roar came from the phone, but Sano hung up with his backhand.

Then shut down.

…… What the hell is it that should be said.

Do you still expect to analyze something on the spot?

Isn't it someone you've just met, and you don't know what kind of urine you have?

"I'm going to win this time!!"

The little girl pressed the fight to start over.

Then the next day, a new message arrived.

Hunter, dead.

Died in a small rented house in the middle of nowhere, and was shot in the head.

…… Just when Sano, who was surprised, thought that it would be the erasure operation carried out by Amika's side, Conan gave another exciting news, that is, Hunter was not actually the murderer.

According to the diary in Hunter's room.

Hunter did intend to get revenge, but every time before he could make a move, another sniper would get ahead of him and kill his target.

Even, that guy even challenged Hunter.

This is where Hunter's death ...... The bullet casings found not far from the rental house, as well as the dice with a "two" number, also prove this.

Other words.

The FBI and the neon police targeted the wrong people from the start.

“…… But I've been to the site and seen it, and there are two ...... over there No, to be exact, there are three things that I find strange. ”

Conan said heavily: "The first one is the sniper location of the unknown sniper, which is only a short more than 100 meters away from Hunter's rental house, which is diametrically opposed to the previous times when the distance was stretched to the limit, as if I want to ensure the accuracy of the sniper, which also involves the second point, I look at Hunter's corpse, the bullet hole on the head is very small, but the distance is so short, that is, the murderer changed to a sniper rifle with less recoil, that is, short-distance sniping is more accurate." ”

"Of course, this can also be fooled by the statement that you want to ensure the accuracy of sniping, but the third point ...... Judging from the situation at the scene, both the unknown sniper and Hunter had a bullet that missed...... Of course, Hunter only fired one shot, and the unknown sniper's second shot hit him in the head and won the victory. ”

After listening to Conan's description, Sano frowned.

Hunter naturally needless to say, the record is already there.

Even if he has been retired for many years, coupled with the fact that he has fallen into death and degraded after eating and eating, his skills have declined, but it will definitely not be too bad, let alone that he has already planned to take revenge.

Then it must have been retrained.

Not to mention continuing to be the trump card, the level of the master should also be there.

And that unknown sniper can shoot Hunter first, and secondly, whether it is the current record on the surface or in private, it is enough to prove his strength.

It's just two people, but they missed at the same time at a distance of more than 100 meters.

Something is clearly wrong.

Unless.

Was there some accident that caused the two to not deviate, or simply the two of them deliberately deviated...... For example, the unknown sniper didn't want Hunter to be shot so unnoticed, and then fired a warning shot.

And Hunter's shot belongs to "return the favor"?

…… If you look at it this way, you always feel that there is a relationship between these two people.

Seems a little wrong?

Do the two actually know each other?

If it's acquaintance...... Could it be that the crooked fight is because I can't bear it?

Sano subconsciously thought of this, but then he felt it again.

It's a little funny in my own thoughts.

“…… In addition, Sera and I also felt that something was wrong, so I asked Officer Twilight to dissect Hunter's body first. ”

"yes, any other information?"

"Nope."

"Okay, that's it for now."

Sano, without any nonsense, hung up the phone and picked up the handle.

The little girl next to her was already full of anticipation - I have to say that the game developed by Dr. Asa himself is indeed quite good.

Ordinary side-scrolling two-player battle game.

This is a bit old-fashioned, but it's also a classic.

The focus is on other aspects, the character skill mechanics, and the graphics.

Suffice it to say, something, but not much.

Sano was playing a game while getting into his mind...... Otherwise, try to play a game with Dr. Asasa in partnership, cough cough and cough by yourself, and the other party will contribute.

It's a big deal to take the money and get a little less of it.

…… The scientific and technological level of this world, although it is developing at an unscientific speed.

But in other respects, there is not much movement.

Especially when it comes to entertainment——, anime, movies, games, and many more.

Sano thought that he would blindly copy a few books, which might cause some collisions in the market, trigger chemical reactions, and enable a batch of new forces to appear, but it's a pity...... Not really, in terms of games.

Although even smartphones have appeared.

But it seems that there are not too many people who like to use neon here, and more are flip phones, and the sales are not bleak, but they are definitely not a big hit.

So much so that the mobile gaming side is particularly barren.

The game is more still a PC and console game...... But that's it.

It's not the same as writing, though.

That kind of thing is made by yourself, and it already belongs to the fact that you have seen it once, and it is naturally not interesting to look at it again, and even ...... There is also the feeling of watching the defense of the reliance, but the game is completely different.

League of Legends, Zelda or something.

Sano hooked the corners of his mouth, if he really got it, he should be able to make a big profit, right?

……

On the train.

Amuro was frowning as he looked at the report on his phone about Hunter's killing.

The continuous sniping, coupled with the murderer originally identified by the police, died suddenly.

Let all the media rush to report it, and it is crazy to rub the heat.

In such a situation, some guys began to go the wrong way......

"If you look at it this way, the police's original thinking is completely wrong, and there is no way to determine the motive and goal of the murderer...... It feels like a one, indiscriminate murder incident...... Just kidding. ”

It is impossible to talk about fishing in troubled waters, but it deliberately guides public opinion and causes panic.

It's just a bunch of garbage.

Amuro glanced at the other passengers who were faintly commotion around him, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, "indiscriminate killing", especially the use of sniper rifles to snipe from a high place, there will be no notice before death, and there is no chance of struggle indiscriminate killing, which will naturally lead to fear in people's hearts, the train is slightly better, and the report has been sent out for a short time.

At the time when the report first came out.

There is not even a single passerby on the streets of Tokyo, and everyone is worried that they will be the next unlucky person to make the news when they go out.

Taking a step back, people are afraid to go out, so they don't consume, and they don't even dare to go to work, which affects the economy in all aspects, and further, the official credibility declines.

It's an indelible impact.

But I have a task at the moment, and I can't interfere......

It's sad.

Amuro pulled out the network map again, and looked at the three sniper incidents and three locations in the area of Neon Tokyo that had been discovered so far.

It's all in this area, so is there any special connection?

Toru Amuro frowned in thought...... If you can't intervene, you can't intervene, use your brain to see if you can provide any unexpected help to the case.

It's always possible.

"The distance between the first sniper point and the second sniper point seems to be about the same as the distance between the third sniper point and the second sniper point."

Hearing the sudden voice beside him, Amuro was shocked at first, and then closed his phone as if nothing happened, and looked to the side: "Why, are you also interested in this case...... Scotland. ”

Sano, dressed in a black fox skin, put the coffee and wine in his hand on the table.

"Are you only interested, not me?"

After sitting down, Sano pushed the glass of wine to Toru Amuro: "Please." ”

Amuro raised his eyebrows and looked at the wine glass, without squeaking.

Sano smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not poisoned." ”

Amuro still didn't answer, but asked.

"You let me drink during the mission?"

"What's this?"

Sano didn't care, "I won't report you." ”

Amuro sighed helplessly, but took the glass anyway.

"Why did you invite me to drink?"

"What do you say, we are colleagues, we were still working under you before, we have been taken care of so much, and the relationship is so good, we can't invite a glass of wine?"

Sano's face was sincere.

Toru Amuro: "...... Nothing to do. ”

Sano continued to smile and nodded in affirmation, "It's true that there is nothing to do." ”

Toru Amuro: "......"

Nothing to do, that's how it's used?

After tightening his clothes, Amuro moved his ass back.

"Let's get down to business...... Recruited. ”

"Hmm."

Sano pushed the recorder towards Toru Amuro: "It's all inside." ”

"Did you make him aware that something was wrong?"

Amuro asked again.

"Don't worry, it's a trick, he doesn't know what I'm doing."

Sano took a sip of his coffee.

This mission, Sano and Toru Amuro teamed up, and the goal was simple.

Information.

Find a person's location as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost.

After some searching, Amuro set his sights on one of the passengers on the train.

This man knows his target well.

There are only two ways to act: first, arrest and torture, and torture to extract confessions.

Second, clichés.

If the former method is adopted, then the two will naturally be much simpler and easier.

But in that case, the man must die.

Extinguish the mouth.

And it's a real killing.

Sanno even had to take off this person's hair and go back to get a DNA comparison data out to prove to the organization that this person had indeed died.

And as an undercover agent, although Amuro Toru is determined, he will not have any hesitation when he has to do it, but since he is a teammate on this mission.

Barely a real teammate.

That Amuro must have hoped that he would not harm the man's life as much as possible.

Thereupon.

It's up to Sano alone...... Of course, if you put it in terms of the whole thing, except for this one, which is his help, Amuro is responsible for everything else.

“…… I said, "The big man in the back, don't you want to save his life too?" ”

Faced with Sano's sudden question, Amuro was silent for a while.

"It depends on the situation, if you can save it, you can save it, and if you can't save it, you will focus on the overall situation."

"Oh~"

The smile on Sano's face was a little more teasing.

"It's really gentle, obviously put on other undercover agents, in order to keep your identity from being exposed, you can even kill your friends and relatives, but you still want to save others, tsk."

The corners of Amuro's mouth twitched...... He was a little embarrassed to be "complimented" so directly, but as an adult, he was able to hide it perfectly.

“…… Only if you can save it, you will save it, just do it. ”

"Even the slightest risk is fatal."

Sano propped his chin and looked a little more serious: "Don't deny your excellent character...... Could it be that you're actually a tsundere? ”

"Poof...... Ahem, ahem! ”

Amuro, who was just about to take a sip of wine to suppress his shock, almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of wine.

…… What the hell does this guy mean??

Praise is not like praise, and mockery is not like mockery.

"Your words today seem to be a bit much."

As soon as Amuro wanted to end the topic, Sano said again: "I'm not talking a lot to anyone, which only proves that the relationship between the two of us is very good." ”

Toru Amuro: "......"
