Sano would call the other white pig in the black and white impermanence a dead fat man.

Not without reason.

I don't know if this guy fell after retiring from the game, or if he was like this.

Anyway, now it's like a middle-aged uncle who has made a fortune.

Looking at the photo, that round belly can even compete with Dr. Asasa and Officer Twilight, and it doesn't look like a soldier at all...... Of course, this guy is indeed no longer a soldier now.

And now the focus.

This guy suddenly disappeared.

Yesterday, Officer Twilight also asked the police officers in charge of this guy to remind each other and be vigilant, but it turned out to be dawn the next day, hey~

The people are gone.

At that time, Officer Twilight panicked.

But fortunately, this guy doesn't seem to have suffered an accident, because he had already informed his wife and children the night in advance, saying that he would come back the next day...... There is no doubt that this is the hook of the murderer.

If nothing else, the location is still Tokyo.

Due to the previous sniper sites, the distance is not too far.

The approximate area can be determined, but the specific location.

There's no way to know for sure...... But Sano didn't know what the police thought.

It would be nice to just block the entire area.

If you are worried about "scaring the snake", and then the murderer will no longer drill the horns, and even put the location of the action outside this area, which is more difficult to control, then at least you can arrange people to hide in the area and wait for the rabbit, right?

In other words, it may be a little difficult to use this guy for fishing law enforcement.

But now that this guy has taken on the responsibility of the bait, wouldn't it be better?

Sano rubbed his fingers...... He didn't really need to know where the murderer's last action was, because the other party would take him there personally.

But that didn't stop Sano's curiosity.

It's getting late.

It was as if they were creating the best hunting environment for the assassins.

…… So, why the hell is this guy going to the nitty-gritty?

In Sano's experience, these locations must have special significance.

Leave aside the journalist abroad.

The second deceased was killed when he continued to sell bad properties on the tower of the Suzuki family, and the third was killed in front of his family's love nest...... Both of these seem reasonable, and there's nothing wrong with that.

But the fourth Hunter, who was killed at a temporary foothold, and the fifth Hunter, who was killed on a train to Tokyo, were not quite right.

The location itself will definitely not have any special significance, so it can only be seen as a "combination", generally speaking, it will be a "pattern".

Sano flipped out the map and looked at the four locations.

Before the fourth position came out, the first three positions felt a little connected, but the distance between the fourth and the third was inevitably too close.

Is it to "mourn" Hunter?

Sano pulled the map and changed from a top-down view to a heads-up view......

Well?

For a moment, Sano sensed that something was wrong.

…… Because it comes with its own map, and because it is more detailed and convenient, Sano rarely uses paper maps or online maps.

But in this series of cases, Sano only looked at the map twice.

When the second deceased appeared, everyone discussed the paper map used in the case, and the network map that Amuro saw on the train behind.

Both maps are flat maps with a top-down perspective.

From this perspective, it is true that there is no problem, but if you look at it from a different perspective...... Sanno tries to turn his own 3D map.

Finally, it is fixed in a perspective.

…… I see.

Sano curled the corners of his mouth.

The fourth deceased, that is, the time when the train sniper failed.

Because the murderer failed to succeed, he naturally wouldn't leave what he should have like the previous times, but after knowing that the black impermanence was dead.

The guy actually turned back again, quietly leaving behind the bullet casings and dice.

Sano doesn't know exactly what this guy thinks, but as far as the facts go.

The dice have a five-point count.

It's a strange point, but not so strange.

Because from the four that started with the first dice, to the two that ended with Hunt.

It's all a normal countdown.

It stands to reason that the fourth one should be one.

But the result is five, of course, because there is a goal behind, it is really not right to be directly one, maybe it can be regarded as an announcement, and the matter is not completely over...... But in that case, wouldn't it be better to start with five and count down from five, no matter how you look at it.

It's all particularly far-fetched.

It's a patchwork, and it's very confusing.

This kind of puzzle-solving type of thing is what Sano is not good at.

Of course, there is nothing Sano is good at.

Pure plug-ins can't solve this problem.

If a person is right in front of you, you can still get a reference answer directly from the side through the fox's eye, but in that case, you can ask for the answer head-on.

It seems a little simpler.

All in all, in such a situation, it is almost impossible for Sano to come up with the answer on his own, and the answer he thinks about may not be right.

But anyway, aside from the one that is not in neon, and counting Hunter, who feels a little inexplicable in his death, the location that can be determined at present should be five, just the last one, and the pattern that the five points can be combined...... After thinking of the "emotion" of gin.

Sano nodded to the top of Suzuki's tower.

…… Out of curiosity, Sano searched for the appearance of the Silver Star badge that Hunter was supposed to get, which was a silver five-pointed star badge that connected the five locations.

It just happens to be a five-pointed star.

…… Although it still feels far-fetched, it does correspond to the theme.

"Doodoo-"

Just in time Conan's call arrived.

"Hey, ...... Sano"

"The location is the Suzuki family's tower."

For some reason, Sano didn't feel that his judgment this time would be wrong, so he threw it out, making Conan on the other end of the phone stunned.

“…… Ah, as I thought, it seems to be right. ”

There was a slight smile in Conan's voice...... Since Sano has only now said the answer, it must have just come out.

I was able to get an answer in about the same time as Sano.

Conan felt that this was a rare thing, so much so that even at this juncture, he still unconsciously felt a little bit of beauty.

"Judging by what the last target told his wife and daughter, judging by the time of return, I'm afraid it will be over at eight o'clock at the latest, which way I'm going, but not necessarily in time...... How long will it take you to arrive? ”

"Huh?"

Sano knowingly asked, "What, for a long time?" ”

Conan was stunned again when he heard this: "...... Why, have you been...... Have you already arrived at the place, didn't you just solve this puzzle? ”

"No, I just knew."

"Huh?"

Conan was silent for a few seconds, and asked tentatively, somewhat incredulously.

"Na, don't you plan to come over?"

"Not so."

“…… Why don't you come? ”

"Why do you want to go over?"

"Why ......"

Conan, who was on the skateboard, choked for a while before he could hold back a sentence.

"Of course it's to save people!"

"Save someone."

Sano said calmly: "Let's not say that this guy has nothing to do with me, it's none of my business whether he is dead or alive, let alone a garbage man, and even if he really wants to save ...... Are you sure I'll be there in ten minutes? ”

"This ......"

Conan immediately became distracted.

This is reasonable, and there is no way to refute it.

"I may not be able to say anything in the front, but the ...... in the back"

Conan forcibly found a reason and said: "Am I not here, you don't want me to be non-existent, even if it can't solve the problem, then I can still delay it, and drag it out until you, the main force, come over and finish." ”

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Sano was still calm, and said: "The first one, that guy is so dangerous, how can you be so sure, I must be useful when I pass, and I will finish it, maybe it will be to collect the corpse...... And it's still the one that was collected. ”

Without waiting for Conan to speak, Sano said again: "Secondly, I didn't say that you didn't exist, on the contrary, I didn't go over because I believed in you, I believe that you will definitely be able to solve the problem, I believe that there will be no problem if I leave it all to you, I believe in you, I believe in you." ”

After saying that, Sano hung up the phone directly, leaving Conan messy in the wind.

“……”

Fuck your shit!!

Conan almost dropped his phone.

first said that the murderer was too dangerous, and then said that he believed that he would definitely be able to deal with it.

Co-authored yourself is invincible, isn't it!?

Indeed, even one of these two reasons can be justified if you take them alone, but if you put one of the two, the conflict will be too big.

It's clearly just quibbling for the sake of quibbling!

Especially the latter.

Having said "believe" so many times in a row, is this stroking the "conscience"!?

Conan glanced at the time, and considering Sano's temperament, he didn't call back to stalk...... The main thing is that there is no such effort.

Time is of the essence and scoring is a priority.

The Suzuki family's tower can't be rushed, so first find a high place and determine the location of the target.

Conan stopped his slide and ran into the tall building next to him.

And at the same time.

At the top of Suzuki's tower, Sano, who hung up the phone, was squatting and looking at the figure lying on the ground, the sniper rifle in his hand aimed at the small window of the roof attic of a small building in the distance, and a five-pointed star was painted on it.

"Something is wrong."

Sano's head was slightly raised, and the howling night wind hit his face.

The smell of chaos.

"Big Black."

"Gah!"

In the night sky, the black crow melted into the darkness, and even if you looked closely, you could only see a vague outline, like a shadow.

"Found it."

Big Black sent back a few numbers.

Sano quickly took out a thing that was similar to a tablet, and after clicking on it, it was densely sorted with numbers, and after clicking on three of the numbers.

The three small screens are separated.

…… By installing bugs and miniature cameras on the crow's body, the speed of transmission of information obtained by the detection network can be greatly saved.

There's nothing to talk about along the way, after all, Sano himself has installed this thing on Daikoku, and now it's just a lot of copying and pasting.

The only problem is.

Too much attrition.

As small and sophisticated instruments, bugs and miniature cameras are prone to problems, especially in the huge base.

Especially on the crow's body.

Flying everywhere every day, it is not easy to fall, not to mention, and it is also windy and rainy.

It's not that Sano really can't afford the money, it's just that ......

It's too much trouble.

Look at the screen again.

There are six people in three groups, distributed in different locations...... Are all snipers.

Well?

Sano zoomed in on one of the three screens.

In the picture, it is a guy who looks like an oriental man.

Sano's impression of this guy is attached to the information of a guy named Spencer, who was suspected of possible collusion among the three characters who were suspected of possible collusion when Hunter was still considered a murderer.

Carlos.

Plum.

It's called that, right, and it seems like he's a hybrid of East and West?

But judging by the appearance, I can't see it.

Of course, this doesn't matter, what matters is the identity of this guy.

He is also a former Marine Corps soldier, and is also a top sniper who can compete with Hunter at his prime.

It's just that in terms of time, this Carlos is considered a senior.

In other words, this man has been growing up longer than Hunter.

Correspondingly, they age faster.

I don't know if the level has decreased...... Considering that this thing has been following Spencer at the moment, it should be that he has been training.

Not too weak.

At this moment, Da Hei sent back the news: "Master, there is another group of people who have sneaked into the tower, and the target should be the guy at the top of the tower." ”

"Hmm."

Sano swiped the screen again, and saw twenty or thirty people in the picture who couldn't see clearly because of the distance...... There is a high probability that he is also Spencer's person.

Sano put on his headphones, paying special attention to Carlos' situation.

…… Originally, when he saw these guys, Sano thought that it would be Bai Wuchang who was worried that he wouldn't be able to solve the problem alone, so he spent another money to hire some guys to ensure his safety and kill his opponent.

But after confirming that the group was Spencer's, the nature changed.

is also from the Marine Corps.,Because of friendship, help or something.。

Compared with this, Sano felt that Spencer had received an order from above, so he secretly took action, intending to kill his mouth and wash away the "shame".

The premise is that Bai Wuchang loses first.

"Master, that waltz is out!"

News came from the big black again.

Sano drew out a small screen again, and sure enough, he saw the white impermanence whose face changed greatly after seeing the five-pointed star painted on the window.

"Master, Conan is over there!"

Sano swiped the screen again...... The screen doesn't seem to be enough.

Then.

Conan, who was at the top of the building not far from the white impermanence, quickly locked on to the location of the target, and then used his glasses to find that the muzzle of the gun on the top of the Suzuki family tower had been aimed at the other party, so he didn't have time to think about it and twisted his shoes.

"Give it to me!!"

A shot of the soccer ball made an arc, and before the bullet shattered the window, it smashed the window first, and then hit Bai Wuchang's head, causing him to lose consciousness.

Fall to the side.

By the way, he dodged the bullet that should have hit the door of the head.

"Damn, it's this stinky little imp again!?"

Seeing that the man below noticed Conan's presence, he shot frantically in anger, only to become a stroke master again, and each bullet "clanged" at the feet of the plague god who was scurrying with his head.

Sano couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

…… How do you feel that the usually powerful character has come to Conan's side.

Just turn it all into waste?

The simplest and most straightforward example.

It's the silver fox under the black cat vest of Sano, and so is Calvados.

"Master, I saw Shuichi Akai!"

Listening to Daikoku's excited voice, Sano subconsciously switched screens.

In the picture, it is Shuichi Akai who is dressed in the skin of Okiya and carries a sniper rifle.
