Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Page 173

After quickly locking onto the window of the carriage where the target was located with his naked eye, Sano changed his sniper sunglasses back to their original position and leaned against the scope.

The ballistic trajectory of the next bullet appeared instantly.

Sano took a deep breath and deflected the ballistics a distance towards the front of the carriage.

...Just like this sea urchin sniper, who was also pulled aside to practice sniping under similar environmental conditions before starting to snipe, Sano mainly practiced this in the previous dynamic shooting simulation training, where the sniper target was shooting on a moving train.

Whether it's the terrain, the length of the train, or the speed, everything has been replicated to the greatest extent possible, so Sano can now be said to have developed muscle memory for it.

...Although it's a last-minute effort, it's definitely useful.

And this angle, this speed, this position, this timing.

...Absolutely perfect!

"boom!"

After pulling the trigger, Sano put away his gun and stood up without saying a word: "Withdraw."

"Hey?"

Vodka hadn't even recovered from the first shot Sano had fired when he received the order to retreat, leaving his mind reeling.

So what exactly is going on here?

Was the task completed or not?

If you haven't finished, are you planning to just give up?

And who the hell did Sano shoot at with those first two shots?

What exactly did Sano do, and what does he plan to do next?

I just can't figure it out!

Vodka got up in a daze, ready to follow Sano.

However, just as Sano was preparing to modify his sniper sunglasses, he unexpectedly noticed that the police helicopter on the distant building seemed to be subtly turning towards him.

Although Sano is currently blind, in broad daylight, such a large thing flying in the sky can still be seen clearly in its outline.

Did they realize their location so quickly?

Sano raised an eyebrow in surprise, then raised his rifle again and aimed it at the helicopter.

From the sniper scope's perspective, the pilot, Inspector Megure, and Conan, who was carrying a helmet, were clearly visible inside the cockpit.

...So this is the troublemaker behind it all.

Meanwhile, inside the helicopter, Conan was pointing at the building where Sano was, his face grim.

"There's no mistake, that sniper is definitely in that building, let's get there quickly!"

Chapter 193, Episode 192: Conan: A Close Call with Death

...Conan's experience today is both complicated and simple.

Anyway, with the help of that pervert Sano, they successfully solved the truth of the incident and found the kidnapped police officer and his girlfriend. However, due to the critical situation, Inspector Megure was unable to get involved at all.

Conan intended to launch a sneak attack himself, but unexpectedly, two bullets took down the two kidnappers on the rooftop.

It was confirmed that the two bullets were not fired by the police.

Conan immediately concluded that there must be at least one third-party sniper present!

Although we don't know who they are, since they are unofficial gun owners, they definitely need to be arrested!

After closing the distance slightly, Conan snatched the binoculars from Inspector Megure's hand and glanced over, just in time to see the familiar figure holding a sniper rifle.

It was him!?

Conan was initially shocked, but then felt a surge of joy.

Now we finally have a chance to catch that organization red-handed!

However, compared to the previous impression of the other party, this time in addition to having a rifle sniper weapon, there seemed to be a pair of black glasses with temples on the brim of the hat... were they sunglasses?

what's the situation.

Generally speaking, would a sniper wear such a cumbersome thing while sniping?

Conan had some doubts.

But Conan quickly dismissed this irrelevant question, because he actually saw the big guy named Vodka not far away!

Good grief, although I had expected that they were in cahoots, I still can't believe they showed up together this time?

Conan instantly pictured Gin in his mind and excitedly licked his lips.

Then I'll accept this double-yolk egg without hesitation!

However, amidst his excitement, a new question arose in Conan's mind—

Why isn't the other party running away? Why is he still holding that rifle?

If you're using a sniper scope, you shouldn't observe for so long...

Conan's breath hitched, realizing he seemed to have overlooked a very important issue.

Those were the two bullets that killed the two kidnappers at the beginning.

It seems like the other side fired from that rooftop, right?

If that's the case, then wouldn't the enemy also be able to hit the helicopter I'm currently in?

In an instant, alarm bells rang in Conan's mind.

Before Conan could react, Sano on the rooftop had already made his move.

The wind on the rooftop was strong, blowing Sano's white hair under his hat. The sniper's sunglasses and scope reflected the sunlight.

"boom!"

Sano pulled the trigger, then quickly pulled the bolt back, firing the second bullet.

Two bullets spun out.

The first shot pierced the helicopter window, grazed the edge of Conan's glasses, and shattered the temple of his glasses perched on his right ear.

The second bullet followed immediately, almost simultaneously, hitting the base of the helicopter's rotor.

The helicopter seemed to lose control instantly. Inspector Megure and Conan, their expressions changed drastically, quickly pulled the helicopter pilot down to avoid being blown up in the head again.

"Keep it under control! Keep the helicopter under control!"

Amid Inspector Megure's furious roar, the helicopter swayed wildly in the air as it made an emergency landing.

...Sano was not worried that the helicopter would crash directly.

Not shooting Conan directly in the head, or killing the pilot, or even blowing up the helicopter's fuel tank, is already considered that Sano was holding back against this kid.

Otherwise, Conan would never have had a moment to react.

If even Conan could die in such a situation, then he can't blame himself.

After firing two shots, Sano did not put his gun away.

He then turned his gun around and aimed it at the rooftop where the sea urchin sniper was located.

Because just now, Sano discovered a problem.

That means my task hasn't been marked as complete yet.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case.

Those dangerous factors have all been eliminated, so how could the other party still be in danger of death?

At first glance, the sea urchin sniper had untied his girlfriend, but instead of leaving immediately, he raised his rifle again and aimed it in Sano's direction.

...Good heavens, so this last dangerous factor is actually Sano himself again?

Sano couldn't help but chuckle, and with a slight movement of the gun barrel, he fired another shot with a "bang".

The sea urchin sniper hadn't even been able to locate the rooftop where Sano was before he was shot first.

Of course, Sano didn't hit the opponent's vital points; he only struck the palm of his hand.

Even so, this sea urchin sniper, while not necessarily never able to hold a sniper rifle again for life, will definitely not be able to touch it again for at least a year and a half.

Instead of hiding in a corner and gloating after escaping death, why did you have to come and join the fun?

"Ok?"

With three people shot in the head, a plane shot down, a pair of glasses pierced, and a person's hand destroyed, this dual mission should have been considered completely over.

But the next second, Sano's gaze suddenly turned to the area behind him.

Vodka, who had no idea what was going on, instinctively looked over when he saw this, but couldn't see anything.

"...What is it now?"

Sano remained silent, but simply raised his rifle again.

From Sano's sniper scope perspective, a helicopter is speeding towards them.

There's still one left?

Sano frowned slightly. Air power is always the most difficult to deal with and the one that needs to be dealt with first.

If Sano doesn't deal with this helicopter now, the enemy might use their altitude advantage to target him. At that point, it won't be a question of whether it's advantageous to retreat; he'll be completely entangled.

That's why Sano chose to shoot at the rotor of the helicopter Conan was riding in, in order to prevent the other side from catching up.

But now the distance between the helicopter and Sano is exactly 75 percent of the effective range of the rifle in his hand.

...We can't just wait here for the enemy to come into our hit range, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

After a two-second pause, Sano remembered that sniper sunglasses also had a lethal effect.

Oh, what a coincidence!

Meanwhile, a kilometer away, another police helicopter had just received instructions from Inspector Megure to proceed to the target location for aerial reconnaissance.

"call out!"

A small hole suddenly appeared in the helicopter's window, from which a large area of ​​cracks spread outwards.
