Chapter 162 Closing the Net (Part 3)
The location of the villa was determined thanks to Conan Edogawa.
Although Toru Amuro had restored most of the surrounding environment with his powerful memory, there were so many similar mountains that he couldn't find any in a short time.
At this time, one has to sigh at the power of the protagonist's halo.
As camping enthusiasts, the young detectives have probably visited more mountains and forests than they can count on their hands. They change the place every time, as if they want to travel to all the mountains and forests in the country.
Just when the children were discussing the next camping spot, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya mentioned this forest, but was rejected by Dr. Agasa.
The children reluctantly asked why, and learned that this forest was notoriously difficult to exit, so they had no choice but to give up. They were not looking for a dead person.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Conan, who had recently been helping Toru Amuro analyze the location of the villa, suddenly became suspicious. He immediately told Toru Amuro his guess, and they soon confirmed that the villa was in this mountain forest!
Once they know the specific location, they can arrange manpower.
"I see." Judy looked at Akai Shuichi with disapproval and said, "Just because Conan helped, you brought people here? Xiu, don't you know how dangerous it is here?"
Akai Shuichi felt very wronged. He explained: "I didn't bring him here. He hid in my trunk and followed me here secretly."
"...Didn't you check the car before you came?" Judy asked back.
Shuichi Akai: ...Okay.
He glanced down at the grinning Edogawa Conan and put a bulletproof vest on him. "It's not realistic to send you back now. If a fight breaks out, we won't be able to take care of you. You'd better hide in the car."
Edogawa Conan immediately said: "Don't worry, I will hide well."
Akai Shuichi looked at him helplessly. He had already followed him into the trunk, so who could be at ease?
"Won't 'Akai Shuichi' be discovered at the foot of the mountain?" asked Conan Edogawa.
"It doesn't matter if they find out. As long as I can get their attention, that's all."
There were not many people in the cars at the foot of the mountain. The "Akai Shuichi" over there was also a fake who asked Kudo Yukiko to help disguise himself. The main purpose was to divert Gin's attention and make him transfer all his men to the other side.
Who would stop at the foot of the mountain when attacking? A real large force would go around the mountain and climb up.
Akai Shuichi stood up and shook his sniper rifle, looked at Edogawa Conan, and whispered: "Boy, protect yourself."
Edogawa Conan said with a serious face: "Be careful on your way."
Everything was ready, and the fully armed FBI quickly rushed into the forest and moved towards the top of the mountain.
Meanwhile, Gin had indeed focused his attention on the foot of the mountain. The main reason was that those cars were too conspicuous to ignore.
A "Predator" heavily armored military off-road vehicle, a light tactical vehicle, and two assault vehicles. The fake Akai Shuichi was sitting in the passenger seat of the "Predator."
Because these four cars have firepower and are not easily destroyed, Gin has no suspicion that the one in the car is a fake.
"How did they get the car in here?" Vodka asked puzzledly.
Gin snorted coldly: "We can get Apaches, what are these armored vehicles?"
Vodka didn't dare to say anything more. They had spent a lot of effort to get that Apache attack helicopter, but the first time the eldest brother flew it, Akai Shuichi shot it down.
Oh, now the culprit is right down there, I’m afraid big brother can’t bear it anymore.
Gin returned to the room to count the men and weapons, then led the team to move to the foot of the mountain. They were on high ground, which gave them an advantage, but the distance was still a bit far, and they couldn't hit anything except artillery shells.
And that tactical vehicle is probably also equipped with munitions. We can't let them move any further, or the villa will be within range. Although this angle is difficult to hit, what if there's a capable person?
When Gin took a favorable position, he immediately had someone fire a shell from a shoulder-fired rocket launcher and said hello politely.
The armored vehicle was unharmed.
After that, the two sides started exchanging fire, and for a while there were constant gunshots and smoke.
After ten minutes of fighting, Gin suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why is Shuichi Akai stuck in the car? Is he that afraid of death?
Moreover, these four vehicles had no intention of advancing and just stood there attacking, as if they were consuming their ammunition.
Oh no!
Gin immediately said: "Only one team will stay here, the rest of you follow me!"
Those below are just to confuse people, the main force will definitely come up from the back of the mountain!
However, Gin discovered it too late.
The battlefield was changing rapidly, but his attention was always on the foot of the mountain, wasting more than a moment. Before he could even reach the top of the mountain, he encountered a group of FBI agents coming up from the nearby woods.
Both sides were stunned, then immediately took cover and opened fire.
\\
Shortly after Kayao and Vermouth reached the mountain, they encountered the FBI. There were only two of them, so they could only fight and retreat.
"I didn't expect that all the people who came today were acquaintances." Vermouth said as she ran.
Kayao dodged bullets, occasionally turning back to fire a shot, and said, "Now is not the time to reminisce! Enemies have appeared here, and the situation with Gin is probably not optimistic."
Vermouth said indifferently: "I don't have to go back anyway, let's run another way?"
Kayao: ...But I want to go back!
He was silent for a moment, observing the surroundings, and said, "There's a hillside over there. You should be able to hide underneath. Run over there, and I'll lead the people away."
"I'm just kidding." Vermouth rejected his proposal.
Ka Yao: "I'm not kidding you." He seized the opportunity, threw a smoke bomb behind him, then kicked Vermouth aside, letting her roll down the hillside.
Vermouth in free fall: I *#¥@5 you!
With one less burden, Ka Yao moved faster and disappeared without a trace before the FBI rushed out of the smoke.
"What's going on?! Where's the person?!" The FBI looked around in surprise, not understanding how the person could disappear in such a short while.
Akai Shuichi said in a deep voice, "I've fought that man before, and he's no pushover. Let's ignore them for now. No matter where they go, our destination is certain." He turned to look at his colleagues and said, "Since we've been discovered, let's speed up and be careful of ambushes."
"yes!"
Because he was delayed for a while by Kayao and Vermouth, Shuichi Akai did not confront Gin immediately. When he saw Gin, there were already many people lying around him, including FBI and organization members, and their life or death was unknown.
Shuichi Akai opened fire without saying a word, and Gin was forced back into the woods. He immediately chased after him and asked the others to continue going up.
Sniper rifles require a stable output environment and are not suitable for pursuit. So, in the woods, Gin had a slight advantage. However, he didn't have as much ammunition as Akai Shuichi, so he wasn't sure he would win the battle.
While the two were fighting fiercely, Edogawa Conan, who was supposed to be hiding in the carriage, had already quietly sneaked up the mountain.
If Shuichi Akai were here, he would definitely grab this disobedient little brat and spank him!
We agreed to hide in the car? Why aren't you obeying again?!
Akai Shuichi didn't know that children are like this, they like to constantly test the bottom line of adults. As long as he takes one step back, the child will take three steps forward, not to mention Edogawa Conan, a fake child, who is even more likely to push the limit.
Fortunately, this child has some reconnaissance awareness and is small in size, so it is not easy to find him without careful observation. As long as the cover is taller than him, no one will find him.
But this does not include Kayao.
Although others couldn't see it, he immediately noticed the movement behind him.
So, Edogawa Conan, who had a smooth journey, was discovered when he was near the top of the mountain. If Kayao had not misjudged his size, he would have been shot.
After firing a shot, Kayao immediately stopped when he heard the child's voice. "Kid? Why is he here?" He strode towards the direction where Conan was hiding, feeling confused and uncertain.
When he saw the dirty kid wearing a bulletproof vest, his face turned pale.
Why did Gin send out such a young child?!
Ka Yao felt that bringing such a young child to the battlefield was something that no one else could do. This child must be a member of the organization's reserve operations team, perhaps even from the same place as him.
Edogawa Conan looked up and saw the member of the organization in front of him, who was as tall as Gin. He was intimidated by his aura and couldn't help swallowing. Just as he was brainstorming and trying to think of an excuse, he heard the man suppress his anger and whispered, "Gin is really a piece of shit!"
Edogawa Conan: ???
Kayao raised his hand and grabbed the child's collar to make him stand still. He asked, "Where's your weapon? Running so far without a weapon, aren't you looking for death? Also, do you obey Gin's words? Can't you just fight back by taking advantage of your age?"
Although he didn't know what Kayao was imagining, Edogawa Conan continued to act according to his words. He looked at Kayao timidly, then quickly lowered his head to look at his feet and whispered, "I dare not."
"...Forget it, at least you remembered to wear a bulletproof vest." Ka Yao patted the dust off the child, then picked him up and hugged him again. "I'll take you back. From now on, you hide in the villa and don't come out. This is not something you should be involved in at your age."
Edogawa Conan reached out and grabbed Kayao's clothes on his chest, nodding slightly.
Although I don't know why, this person seems to be very patient with children and looks very strong. It would save a lot of trouble if I let him take me for a ride.
Yeah... could you please stop carrying him around? He's not a plastic bag!
Conan was small and skinny, and being on Kayao's back didn't hinder his movements at all. Children are smaller targets than adults, and there were people on the road to help him draw fire, so the second half of the journey was unusually easy.
Then, Edogawa Conan became the first person from the Red Team to enter Karasuma Renya's villa.
Of course there were people guarding the villa, but for some reason Ka Yao did not go through the main gate. Instead, he took the child around to the back of the villa and climbed in through the window on the second floor.
When Edogawa Conan saw Kayao leap up to the second-floor windowsill with all his might, his eyes widened.
However, since he was already tall and had a strong jumping ability, it was not difficult to do it. Think about the volleyball games I watched before, those athletes wanted to take off on the spot.
After Ka Yao climbed up to the second-floor window, he sat on the windowsill and stretched out his hand.
Conan Edogawa: ...Muri! This has to be two meters high, right? I can't do it!
But when he met Kayao's firm eyes, the words on the tip of his tongue stopped him.
Edogawa Conan thought about it, jumping also requires force from the feet, so stimulating the acupoints on the soles of the feet should be useful, right?
So he squatted down, adjusted the stimulation of his shoes, lengthened his running distance, and then jumped with all his strength. His raised arm was firmly grasped by Ka Yao.
"Well done!" Ka Yao praised. He was indeed a child trained by the organization, able to jump so high at such a young age. However, when he thought about the significance of acquiring these extraordinary abilities, he couldn't smile anymore.
Fortunately, the organization should be completely destroyed this time, and the child will be free from now on.
Edogawa Conan didn't know that the man in front of him thought he was a small employee of the organization and was already thinking about how to live after taking him away. He was proud of his leap of faith just now.
He couldn't help but put his hands on his hips in his heart: I jumped so high!
