At the same time that Sano received this news from Officer Megure, he was also told another clue, and he didn’t know if it might be a clue…
That’s Hunter in Neon, possibly with accomplices.
Officer Megure gave Sano relevant information about three people.
One is a former Marine whose life was saved by Hunter.
Currently, a military equipment store is opened in Neon… Of course, it’s just something similar to toys on the surface, but according to what Officer Megure said.
This store may be operating a weapons channel privately.
In other words, the sniper rifle used by Hunter may have been provided by this guy.
The other is a former Navy SEAL master chief and a former sniper instructor.
Hunter has a teacher-student relationship with this man.
And this person currently opened a motorcycle shop in Neon, and it happened to be the motorcycle that Conan and Toru Amuro saw when they were chasing him that day.
It’s from this store.
Finally, there is America’s military consultant stationed in Japan…
It’s really outrageous that there are so many people from America’s military.
Sano held a game controller in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.
While playing the game he got back from Dr. Agasa with the little girl, he listened to Officer Megure explain the situation of the case.
“ah!”
As the character controlled by Sano rose up on the TV, a slogan “You win!” flew over his head. The little girl’s character lying motionless on the ground had a slogan “You lose!” flying above his head. slogan.
“Lost again…”
The little girl had lost more than a dozen games in a row, and her face was full of pain and unwillingness.
“It seems that you are still far away.”
Sano showed an arrogant smile, which made the little girl grind her teeth louder and louder.
“…What did you say, Brother Sano?”
Officer Megure’s confused voice came over the phone.
“Ah, it turns out you haven’t hung up the phone yet, Officer Megure.”
Upon hearing Sano’s words, Officer Megure on the other end of the phone suddenly turned dark.
“Listen carefully when others are talking!”
Officer Memu said depressedly: “Did you listen to what I just told you?”
“Listen, listen… hurry up, let’s fire the next one.”
While Sano was perfunctory with Officer Megure, he urged the little girl to take the next shot.
“Hello!”
Officer Megure’s angry roar came from the phone, but Sano hung up directly.
Then shut down.
…What the hell are you talking about? I wish I could finish what I have to say.
Do you still expect yourself to analyze something on the spot?
It’s not like you just met someone. You don’t know what your urinary qualities are?
“I must win this time!!”
The little girl pressed restart with full fighting spirit.
Then the next day came, and a new message came.
Hunter, dead.
He died in a remote and small rental house, shot in the head.
…Just when Sano was surprised and thought it was an erasure operation carried out by America, Conan gave another breaking news, that is, Hunter was not actually the murderer. .
According to the records in the diary in Hunter’s room.
Hunter did intend to take revenge, but every time before he took action, another sniper would take a step ahead of him and kill his target.
The guy even issued a challenge to Hunter.
This led to Hunter’s death… and the bullet casings found not far from the rental house and the dice with a score of “two” also proved this.
That is to say.
The FBI and Neon Police targeted the wrong person from the beginning.
“…But I have already gone to the scene to see it. There are two…no, to be precise, there should be three places that make me feel very strange.”
Conan said solemnly: “The first one is the unknown sniper’s sniping spot. It is only a little over a hundred meters away from Hunter’s rental house. This was the case where the distance was stretched to the limit in the past few times. On the contrary, it seems to want to ensure the accuracy of sniping, which also involves the second point. I looked at Hunter’s body. The bullet hole on the forehead was very small, but the distance was so short. In other words, the murderer changed A sniper rifle with smaller recoil, which means more accurate short-range sniping.”
“Of course, this can also be deceived by saying that you want to ensure the accuracy of sniping, but the third point…according to the situation at the scene, both the unknown sniper and Hunter have one bullet. It missed… Of course Hunter only fired one shot, and the unknown sniper’s second shot hit him in the head, winning the victory.”
After listening to Conan’s description, Sano frowned.
Needless to say, Hunter’s record is already there.
Even if he has been retired for many years, and his skills have declined as a result of eating and waiting to die, he will definitely not be too bad, let alone since he has already planned to take revenge.
Then he must have undergone refresher training.
Not to mention continuing to be an ace, he should be at the level of a master.
And that unknown sniper was able to kill Hunter, and secondly, his current record, both publicly and privately, was enough to prove his strength.
Just like this, two people missed the target at the same time at a distance of just over a hundred meters.
Something was clearly wrong.
unless.
There was some accident that caused the two of them to miss, or maybe the two of them just missed on purpose… For example, the unknown sniper didn’t want Hunter to be shot without any notice, so he fired a warning shot.
And Hunter’s shot was a “retaliation”?
…Looking at it this way, I always feel that there is a relationship between these two people.
Something seems wrong?
Do the two people actually know each other?
If they knew each other…could it be because they couldn’t bear to fight?
Sano subconsciously thought of this aspect, but then he felt something else.
My own thoughts are a little funny.
“…In addition, Sera and I also felt that something was a little bit wrong, so we asked Officer Megure to perform an autopsy on Hunter’s body first.”
“Really? Is there any other information?”
“there is none left.”
“Okay, let’s do this for now.”
Without any nonsense, Sano hung up the phone and picked up the handle.
The little girl next to her was already full of expectations – I have to say that this game developed by Dr. A Li is indeed quite good.
An ordinary side-scrolling two-player battle game.
This is relatively old-fashioned, but it is also a classic.
The focus is on other aspects, character skill mechanisms and graphics.
All I can say is that there is something, but not much.
Sano was distracted while playing the game… Otherwise, try playing a game with Dr. Agasa, where he would use his brains and the other party would provide his strength.
At worst, if you take the money, you just need to pay less.
…The technological level of this world is developing at an unscientific speed.
But in other respects, there hasn’t been much movement.
Especially when it comes to entertainment – novels, anime, movies, games, etc.
Sano originally thought that if he randomly copied a few novels, it might cause some collisions in the market, trigger chemical reactions, and lead to the emergence of a group of new powers, but unfortunately…no, in terms of games.
Although even smart phones have appeared.
But it seems that not many people here like to use Neon, and most of them are flip phones. Although sales are bleak, it is definitely not a big hit.
So much so that mobile games are particularly barren.
Games are still more PC and console games…but that’s about it.
But it’s not the same as writing a novel.
That kind of thing is made by oneself, and it has already been watched once. It is naturally meaningless to watch it again, and even… there is also a feeling of watching a defense, but the game is completely different.
League of Legends, Zelda, whatever.
Sano raised his lips, if he really did it, he should be able to make a lot of money, right?
…
On the train.
Toru Amuro was looking at the report of Hunter’s murder on his mobile phone, frowning.
Continuous sniper killings, coupled with the sudden death of the murderer originally identified by the police.
All media outlets rushed to report on it, creating a craze for the news.
Under such circumstances, some guys started to go astray…
“Looking at it this way, the police’s original thinking was completely wrong. They couldn’t even determine the murderer’s motives and goals… It felt like it was just like an indiscriminate killing incident… Just kidding.”
It’s not about fishing in troubled waters, but it is deliberately guiding public opinion and causing panic.
What a bunch of rubbish.
Toru Amuro glanced at the other passengers who were slightly commotion around, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. “Indiscriminate killing”, especially using a sniper rifle to kill from a high place, there would be no awareness before death, let alone Indiscriminate killings with the slightest chance of struggle will naturally arouse fear in people’s hearts. Things are a little better on the train, and a short period of time has passed since the report was issued.
When the report first came out.
There is not even a trace of a passerby on the streets of Tokyo. Everyone is worried that if they go out, they will become the next unlucky person to make the news.
To take a step back, people are afraid to go out, so they will not consume, and they will not even dare to go to work, which will affect the economy in all aspects. Furthermore, the official credibility will be reduced.
This is an impact that is indelible.
It just so happens that I have a mission at the moment, so I can’t intervene…
Sad people.
Toru Amuro pulled out the Internet map again and checked the three sniper killing incidents and three locations found so far within Neon Tokyo.
They are all in this area. Is there any special connection?
Toru Amuro frowned and thought… I couldn’t help but couldn’t intervene, so I used my brain to see if I could 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, Toru Amuro was startled at first, and then he closed his phone as if nothing happened and looked to the side: “Why, are you also interested in this case… Scotland.”
Sano, who was wearing a black fox fur, put the coffee and wine in his hands on the table.
“Are you only allowed to be interested and not me?”
After sitting down, Sano pushed the glass of wine towards Toru Amuro: “Please.”
Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows and looked at the wine glass without making a sound.
Sano smiled slightly and said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t poison you.”
Toru Amuro still didn’t answer, but asked.
“During the mission, you let me drink?”
“What’s this?”
Sano said indifferently: “I won’t report you.”
Toru Amuro sighed helplessly, but still took the glass.
“Why are you inviting me to drink?”
“What are you talking about? We are colleagues. We worked under you before. We received so much care and our relationship is so good. Why don’t we invite you for a drink?”
Sano looked sincere.
Tohru Amuro: “…I’m always courteous for nothing.”
Sano continued to smile, nodded and affirmed: “It is indeed a courtesy for nothing.”
Toru Amuro: “…”
Is this the way to show courtesy for nothing?
After tightening her clothes, Toru Amuro moved her butt back.
“Let’s get down to business…are you ready?”
“Um.”
Sano pushed the recorder towards Toru Amuro: “It’s all in there.”
“Did he realize something was wrong?”
Toru Amuro asked again.
“Don’t worry, it was tricked. He doesn’t even know what I do.”
Sano took a sip of coffee.
This mission is carried out by a team of Sano and Toru Amuro, and the goal is very simple.
intelligence.
Find a person’s location as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost.
After some searching, Toru Amuro targeted a passenger on this train.
This person is very familiar with the target.
There are two methods of action. One is to arrest and torture them to extract confessions.
Two, clichés.
If they take the former approach, it will naturally be much simpler for the two of them.
But in that case, this person must die.
Silence.
And they were actually silenced.
Sano even had to take the person’s hair and go back to get a DNA comparison to prove to the organization that the person was indeed silenced.
As an undercover agent, Toru Amuro is determined and will not hesitate at all when he has to take action, but since he is a teammate in this mission.
They can barely be considered true teammates.
Toru Amuro must have hoped not to harm that person’s life as much as possible.
then.
Sano was the only one who contributed… Of course, in terms of the whole thing, apart from his contribution, Tohru Amuro was responsible for the rest.
“…I said, you don’t want to save the life of the big guy behind you, right?”
Faced with Sano’s sudden question, Amuro Toru remained silent for a while.
“It depends on the situation. If you can save it, save it. If you can’t save it, put the overall situation first.”
“Oh~”
The smile on Sano’s face was a little more teasing.
“You’re so gentle. You’re obviously putting it on other undercover agents. In order to keep your identity from being exposed, you can even kill your own friends and relatives, but you still want to save others, tsk tsk tsk.”
Amuro Toru’s mouth twitched… He was a little embarrassed to be “praised” so directly, but as an adult, he was able to hide this perfectly.
“…I will save you only if you can, just do it casually.”
“Even the slightest risk can be fatal.”
Sano held his chin up and looked a little more serious: “Don’t deny your excellent character… Could it be that you are actually a tsundere?”
“Pfft…cough cough cough!”
Toru Amuro, who was just about to take a sip of wine to calm down his shock, almost spit out a sip of wine.
…What does this guy mean? ?
Praise doesn’t look like praise, and ridicule doesn’t look like sarcasm.
“You seem to have said a bit too much today.”
Just as Tohru Amuro wanted to end the topic, Sano said again: “I don’t talk too much to anyone. This only proves that the relationship between the two of us is very good.”
Toru Amuro: “…”
