Chapter 434
"...What do you mean, 'wrong place'?"
Mr. Waltz cautiously returned the question.
There are only two addresses involved: one is the restaurant where the prisoner arranged to meet him, but this address is clearly written and he couldn't possibly be wrong; the other is the location he chose to snipe the prisoner...
What's wrong with the location he chose? Why do people say he'll die?
If Mr. Waltz hadn't known it was unnecessary, he would have suspected who had hired this person to disturb his peace of mind.
Hanchuan Shenliu didn't bother to explain and said directly, "Do you think Kevin Yoshino wouldn't have guessed that you wanted to kill him?"
Mr. Waltz was taken aback at first, then his expression changed.
He had been basking in the joy of having thought one step ahead of Kevin Yoshino, so much so that he couldn't see any other possibilities. Now that someone had suddenly pointed it out, he realized the danger involved.
yes!
How could Kevin Yoshino not have guessed that he wanted to turn the tables?
Giving him the restaurant's address was clearly a trap, wasn't it? It was a way to lure him step by step down a carefully planned path, while he smugly thought he was being incredibly clever.
He almost popped the champagne halfway through the game!
Mr. Waltz's expression changed several times: "...Leaving aside what Kevin Yoshino is thinking, why did you come here specifically to remind me?"
The young man with deep red hair and red eyes did not answer, but gave a meaningful smile and turned to leave the alley.
The person who suddenly appeared and inexplicably reminded him seemed to be there to help him, but he didn't believe that the other party had no other purpose.
Knowing the location he arranged with Kevin Yoshino—knowing he chose the wrong sniping spot—finding him and reminding him—so many things are not things that just any kind passerby could know, especially since the other party didn't look like a passerby at all.
But it doesn't matter if the other party has ulterior motives. Anyway, that coward Murphy has already written and sent out a confession email, and his reputation is ruined. The most important thing now is to save his own life. Everything else can wait.
So what if he's been tricked? Since they've come to warn him, they should be on his side for now. If he survives, then being used is fine too. After all, if they want to use him, he has to be alive first, right?
Mr. Waltz cooled down his overheated brain and reorganized his thoughts.
If he were Kevin Yoshino, and had predicted the sniping location Yoshino had chosen, and intended to snipe him...
As a sniper, Mr. Waltz immediately conjured up a 3D map in his mind. After looking around for a while, he guessed where Kevin Yoshino would go.
Suzuki Tower!
Mr. Waltz became excited.
Okay, he has a benefactor to help him, Kevin Yoshino will definitely be the one to die this time!
He could already picture Kevin Yoshino carrying a sniper rifle up to the rooftop, only to be ambushed and killed by him with a single shot.
However, Suzuki Ta's ability to snipe from a distance is probably limited. There are no suitable spots, either the range is beyond his capabilities, or the angle is not right.
That means you can only fight in close combat...
Mr. Waltz didn't even consider calling the police to make a targeted arrest since he already knew where the criminal would appear.
Partly because being abroad was inconvenient, and partly because these past few days he felt he had completely seen how incompetent the Japanese police were, utterly unreliable...
Another reason was that he was also a sniper, and the other side threatened him with his family, which made him feel provoked.
Mr. Waltz felt that the mysterious young man had seen through his scheme and was incredibly strong. He couldn't possibly lose. Of course, he should first fight back and kill the other party in a reasonable way before considering calling the police. Otherwise, the other party would definitely not be sentenced to death.
If he doesn't receive the death penalty, Kevin Yoshino's sentence will be reduced all the way down. Once he's released, he'll be in his prime and then seek revenge on him and his family. At that point, he'll be the only target, and there won't be any of the people who died before him to serve as a warning. The probability of him dying will be too high!
Therefore, Kevin Yoshino must die!
Mr. Waltz realized the time was a bit tight and immediately started preparing again.
By 6 p.m., Mr. Waltz had managed to sneak into the rooftop of the Suzuki Tower and lay in ambush for Kevin Yoshino's arrival.
The agreed time was to meet at the hotel at eight o'clock, but no one would definitely go to the hotel. Kevin Yoshino, on the other hand, might arrive at the rooftop much earlier than expected. It would be good if he could set up an ambush as soon as possible.
After all, even if Kevin Yoshino had his back to the rooftop door, if he heard the sound of him pushing the door open, his advantage would disappear.
Mr. Waltz carefully placed a bomb at the entrance to the rooftop, which would detonate immediately if anyone entered afterward.
Because they wanted to avoid blocking their way down, the amount of bombs used was calculated, with a 30% chance that Kevin Yoshino would be killed in this stage.
That would be ideal, but even if I don't die, I'll be injured and definitely won't be able to beat myself who's waiting in ambush!
Even if Kevin Yoshino is a great sniper, comparable to Hunter in his prime, so what?! Now it's time for close combat!
With such anticipation, just before seven o'clock, Mr. Waltz finally heard footsteps.
The incident at Suzuki Tower happened several days ago. The police have finished their investigation, and now there's no one guarding the gate; it's just locked. Since there's nothing inside that people aren't worried about stealing, it's normal for people to relax once they get in and not care about making noise.
At this point, the only ones who would likely arrive are him and Kevin Yoshino, both of whom have ulterior motives.
The footsteps were a great help to Mr. Waltz; he immediately moved away from the doorway, found a suitable corner to finish off the enemy, and prepared to act as needed.
Because he was far from the doorway, Mr. Waltz could no longer hear the footsteps and could only silently calculate how much longer it would take to arrive.
Finally, as if someone outside had opened the rooftop door, a violent explosion rang out almost simultaneously, illuminating the rooftop for a moment, and Mr. Waltz's feet swayed.
He didn't act immediately, but instead observed the movements over there.
If a person were injured by a bomb, they would at least scream, right? How come he didn't seem to hear it?
Or perhaps Kevin Yoshino's screams were muffled by the sound of the explosion, and he was unfortunately killed instantly, so he can't make a sound now?
Mr. Waltz's heart raced; he couldn't believe his luck.
He waited patiently for a while, listening carefully to the sounds coming from the other side, trying to determine whether the sound of the falling debris was due to the aftershocks of the explosion or because someone buried underneath was moving.
About five minutes later, Mr. Waltz breathed a sigh of relief.
He believed that it was impossible for anyone to remain silent during such an explosion; surely they must have been killed by the blast.
Mr. Waltz, carrying the gun he had been holding, walked to the entrance of the collapsed rooftop.
Because the bomb was calculated with great precision, although the outer part of the "door" had been blown away, the stairs were still there, just a little blocked. He could dig a bit and find a way out, which would not affect his departure.
The top of the "door" had collapsed, forming a small hill on the ground. Mr. Waltz decided to dig a passage out first, just to make sure he could get out, otherwise he felt a little uncertain.
He tucked the gun into his waistband, then picked up the prepared shovel and began clearing the rubble.
Soon, Mr. Waltz created a way out of the original stairwell.
However, for a moment, he seemed to see a reflection in the darkness.
Mr. Waltz's body reacted faster than his brain, and in the next second he was behind the obstacle—and heard the gunshot.
"You're not dead?!" Mr. Waltz exclaimed.
"What, do you think I'd be stupid enough to push the door open?"
Having missed his first attack, Kevin Yoshino dropped the pretense and his voice rang out coldly: "To think you could find your way here, I underestimated you before."
Mr. Waltz, of course, wouldn't explain that "I didn't actually guess it; it was a dangerous-looking stranger who warned me." Instead, he simply asked, puzzled, "Did I give myself away somewhere? How did you know I had set a trap?"
Just like in the movies, once the situation becomes one where both people have guns and are not very far apart, they will start chatting, trying to make the other side reveal a weakness first.
After all, bullets are limited. If you run out of bullets first, you'll be vulnerable to attack when you reload. You have to be careful with every bullet you fire.
And so the two of them actually started chatting.
Kevin Yoshino didn't take all the credit for himself; when he heard Mr. Waltz's question, he answered directly.
"It's all thanks to a kind person who reminded me that you went up there not long ago."
He had been trying to sneak into Suzuki Tower while avoiding being seen, but just as he was about to slip in through a pre-arranged spot, he was stopped.
The other person looked very suspicious, and he almost thought they were an assassin hired by Waltz, but they were actually there to kindly warn him.
It was thanks to this person's reminder that once he knew Waltz was already on the rooftop, he wouldn't have opened the door so carelessly. Of course, he had to consider the premise that the other party had made preparations beforehand, and as a result, he successfully escaped a disaster...
Kevin Yoshino sighed deeply, realizing that one should not judge a book by its cover. The young man looked dangerous, but he turned out to be a very good person!
Mr. Waltz: "...???"
He remained strangely silent for a few seconds before asking, "Did that person have dark blue hair and red eyes?"
Kevin Yoshino was somewhat surprised: "How did you know?"
Could that young man be one of Waltz's people?! But if so, why remind him? Isn't that just setting Waltz up?
Amid Kevin Yoshino's doubts and suspicions, Mr. Waltz slowly spoke.
Waltz: "Because it was he who reminded me that I knew you were planning to snipe me at Suzuki Tower."
Kevin Yoshino: “…?!?!?!”
At this moment, the two people who had already entered a life-or-death stage fell silent at the same time, with the same question in their minds.
—Are you crazy?! What is that person even after?!
--------------------
From the prisoner's perspective, it makes Shinryu Hanakawa seem very sick.
.
Waltz: I have good character. I can run into people reminding me even when I'm just walking around. It means that destiny is on my side. At this moment, I am terrifyingly strong!
Kevin Yoshino: I bought the same cheat too (x)
