Chapter 91: Strike First

…

Standing outside the banquet hall, you can hear the singing inside.

Miyagawa Ling did not enter through the main entrance. He went around to the side door and wanted to go directly to the second floor after entering.

But before Miyagawa Ling entered the room, he saw a little boy lying on the ground near the door, crying with his shoulders shaking.

As I got closer, I could still hear his choking voice: "Dad didn't steal anything! No! No no no!"

The light from the restaurant shone on him, and one could see that the side of his face was red and swollen, as if he had been beaten.

Miyakawa Ling stopped.

The side door is in a relatively remote location, and usually only the ship's employees walk around there, so at the moment there are only Miyakawa Ling and the little boy here.

"Why are you hitting Dad? Dad didn't steal it at all!" The little boy didn't notice Miyakawa Ling. He clenched his fists and beat on the boat in frustration and anger:

"I don't want new clothes! I don't want snacks! I just need to eat a little! Daddy's money is enough!"

He was so overcome with emotion that he banged his head against the wall.

"I could eat less!" he exclaimed.

Miyagawa Ling was silent for a moment, squatted down, and placed his hands between the boy's head and the wall.

The boy bumped into his palm and felt something wrong, and then he realized there was someone around him.

He looked up with red eyes and a look of alertness on his face.

"There must be medical personnel on board," said Miyakawa Ryo.

The little boy asked, "Who are you?"

Miyakawa Ling pretended to think: "A kind angel."

“……”little boy.

"I was just kidding you." Miyakawa Ling said with a smile.

I know you are lying to me without you telling me!

The little boy stared, got up and tried to run away.

Miyakawa Ling grabbed him and said, "Actually, I am a man-eating devil."

"..." The hat of his clothes was grabbed, and he couldn't run away. The little boy stopped, tears fell again, and he sobbed: "Let me go! My father is very powerful! If he finds out, he can beat you up with just one finger!"

"Can the devil be beaten to flight?"

"I can even beat the devil away!"

Miyakawa Ling looked at his miserable appearance and loosened his hand. When the boy wanted to escape happily, he pressed his head again and said, "The devil is hungry. Hand over the food you stole from me."

The boy was stunned and said angrily: "I didn't steal your food!"

"I saw you steal it with my own eyes." Miyakawa Ling smiled and said, "Are you saying I'm lying?"

"You are lying!"

"Then how do you prove it?"

"I..." The boy froze and stood there with a pale face, "I eat very little..."

"You eat very little. Can you prove that you didn't steal my food?"

The little boy burst into tears and said, "I can go without food for a whole day!"

"If you don't eat for a day, can you prove that you didn't steal my food?"

"..." The little boy looked desperate.

Miyakawa Ling looked into the boy's eyes and smiled softly: "You can't prove anything by doing these things, because I was the one who said you stole. No matter what you do, I can still say that."

The little boy was a little confused. He could feel that the person in front of him suddenly became very gentle, as warm as the sunshine, making him want to get closer.

He stopped crying unconsciously and just stared at Miyakawa Ling.

“Is your father an employee here?”

"yes……"

"Come here, I want to tell you something in private." Miyakawa Ling blinked mysteriously.

The little boy hesitated for a moment, then really approached Miyakawa Ling.

"Next time someone says your dad stole something, you do this..."

"If someone hits you, you just..."

The more the little boy listened, the wider his eyes widened. In the end, the look he gave Miyakawa Ryo was full of admiration.

"Okay, let's go." Miyakawa Ling was about to enter the banquet hall.

The little boy standing behind said happily: "Devil brother! Thank you!"

Miyakawa Ling waved his hand and didn't look back.

As they entered the banquet hall, the music became louder. The first thing Miyagawa Ryo noticed was not the luxurious decoration inside the banquet hall, but the group of people gathered in a circle facing the door not far away, looking at something.

He didn't go near and went up to the second floor.

By the time he went up, the crowd below had dispersed.

Miyakawa Ling patted a random person on the shoulder and said, "Brother, what happened over there just now?"

The person being filmed was still watching the scene below: "It seems that a lady accidentally stepped on a gentleman's foot while dancing... You didn't see it just now. The gentleman was very scary. He didn't say anything, but the lady started crying and yelled, 'Don't kill me.'"

"Here it is!"

Miyakawa Ling looked in the direction he pointed and saw a man walking quickly to the door of the banquet hall, preparing to leave.

Miyakawa Ling walked a few steps to the side, changed direction, and saw the man's face clearly.

He has a typical foreign appearance, with deep features, clear edges and corners, and slightly gray eyebrows.

He has a strong physique, and even though he is dressed casually, he looks quite fierce.

The moment he saw clearly, Miyagawa Ling's pupils shrank!

He immediately turned his back.

This person is actually the one who should still be in Country C according to the intelligence!

The intelligence was wrong!

Miyagawa Rei pretended to enjoy the singing and dancing for a while, then left the banquet hall without even returning to the cabin. He immediately called Akai Shuichi in a corner of the deck.

"Excuse me, I saw one of your targets in the banquet hall."

Akai Shuichi asked quickly, "Who?"

Miyakawa Ling lay on the metal railing, looking at the sea below with a dark look in his eyes: "The killer who is good at using two guns."

"Oh no," Akai Shuichi understood without him saying anything more: "He has already boarded the ship, which means that the intelligence department of the organization has been completely deceived."

However, the organization has provided information that Shuichi Akai's two targets are still in Country C!

"Yeah, it couldn't be worse."

The two-gun killer Eric, as the right-hand man of Daisuke Hiranaka, now appears here, and what he represents is terrifying when you think about it carefully.

This not only shows that the intelligence provided by the organization in this mission may contain more errors, but also represents another most terrifying possibility -

The organization fell into Daisuke Hiranaka's trap, and this mission was within Daisuke Hiranaka's expectations.

Akai Shuichi asked: "Have you been discovered?"

"No, I went in at the wrong time."

"That's not bad." Even if they ran into each other, the other party might not be able to find out that Miyagawa Ling was a member of the organization, but under the current circumstances, it is better not to meet him head-on.

"I also found a suspicious person here... But the most urgent thing is to kill Eric the double-gunner."

"Be careful, Eric is here, and the sniper might be here too." Miyagawa Ling said in a low voice.

The sound of the flag being blown by the wind came from the other side of the phone.

"Well." Akai Shuichi's voice was neither hurried nor slow, "Then we should strike first."

"There are less than two and a half hours left until ten o'clock. Kill Eric, find the sniper and kill him, and then eliminate the remaining suspicious people..."

He actually laughed: "How about the two of us doing it? Are you sure?"

Miyagawa paused.

You really dare to say that, Xiu.

In such a short time, on this ship that can accommodate nearly a thousand people, two top killers must be eliminated without being discovered by anyone.

It's more than just a challenge.

However...

He smiled confidently: "It's easy."

…

The boat was sailing in the night. The snow had stopped and the sky was dotted with stars, like gems adorning the night sky.

The water was rocking gently and the wind was getting colder, but the boat was as lively as ever and the lights were still on.

Somewhere in the corridor of a cabin.

The sound of hurried footsteps came closer and closer.

"Bang!" The bullet flew past, missed its target, hit the floor and bounced to the side.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The roar of the huge gunfire was drowned out by the passionate music blaring from the loudspeakers.

"Damn it!" The person being chased cursed, quickly turned the corner and ran to the other side.

The person behind him was much faster than him and caught up with him in less than two seconds.

"Bang!"

Kudo Shinichi rolled on the ground and avoided the bullet.

His forehead was covered in cold sweat. After dodging, he didn't even have time to look back before running forward again.

"There are only the last twenty minutes of this grand ball! Please enjoy it!" The sound of the distant loudspeaker was almost drowned out by the music and voices, and Kudo Shinichi almost couldn't hear it clearly.

"Damn it!" He couldn't help cursing his luck once again: "Why hold a dance at this time? If there were people in the cabin..."

The person behind wouldn't dare to be so blatant!

However, he also understood that this man came to kill Xiaolan and Sonoko because he saw that the ball had attracted everyone away!

When the two received poisoned food from the crew, Kudo Shinichi had a premonition that things would get worse, but he never expected that the other party would act so quickly!

He just came over with a gun!

Although Kudo Shinichi rescued Mao Li Ran and Suzuki Sonoko and gave them a chance to escape, he was also targeted!

"Just hold on a little longer, Xiaolan and the others will be able to find the security team on the ship..." Kudo Shinichi panted heavily, knowing in his heart that his only option now was to delay time.

It was quite a long way from here to the outside, and there was an elevator at the end. If he got into the elevator, there would be no place to hide.

He couldn't run as fast as his opponent and didn't have time to take the elevator, so he could only run around in the cabin to avoid bullets.

"You little brat!" The person behind him was obviously tired of being chased, and said fiercely: "You can run fast! I'm going to break your legs!"

"Bang!" A bullet grazed Kudo Shinichi's left leg and almost hit him.

Kudo Shinichi fell to the ground, trembling with pain from the abdomen that had been accidentally hit by a bullet, but he had no time to care about the wound.

Kudo shot back with the tranquilizer gun, but because the distance was not enough, he could not hit anyone.

There was no time to think about it. There was a small terrace in the front left, connecting the two cabins. Kudo Shinichi climbed in using his hands and feet.

As the footsteps approached, Kudo Shinichi just stood up and found that there was another person in front of him.

"Run!" he shouted subconsciously.

But the man didn't respond.

In the dim moonlight, Kudo Shinichi saw that the other party also held a gun in his hand.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at him.
