Two bullets hit the container, one after the other.
The reason for this is that the bullet fired by Kiichiro Numabuchi pierced Calvados's head.
The bullet pierced through Calvados's head and exited.
It eventually hit the container.
Due to the sudden change in the situation on the field.
Everyone's attention was focused on Ran, who was running towards "Ai".
The sound of the two bullets hitting the container was very close together.
Therefore, apart from Kousuke, who signaled to Numabuchi Kiichiro, no one noticed this.
At this moment, Guangyou was already protected by Xiaolan.
This scene made Vermouth frown slightly.
She aimed the pistol at Xiaolan and said to her:
"Get up quickly."
"Then leave this place."
But Xiaolan still didn't move; instead, she hugged him even tighter.
Upon seeing this, Vermouth shouted loudly:
"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
"Get out of my way!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Vermouth fired several shots into the open space next to Xiaolan.
Unaware of the situation, Xiaolan did not back down even when her life was threatened.
She held Ai tightly, trying to soothe her in a calm tone:
"Do not move!"
"I have already called the police."
"Just bear with it a little longer!"
"Think of Kwang-yu!"
"Please hang in there!"
But at this moment, Xiaolan's body was already trembling violently.
She was an ordinary high school girl.
Gunshots rang out all around her; how could she not be afraid?
Even though she herself was trembling with fear, she still did not let go and leave.
She hugged him even tighter.
The familiar scene before her eyes reminded Vermouth of that rainy night in New York a year ago.
She believed that the angels had never smiled at her.
But on that rainy night, she met her angel.
Her pistol magazine had just been emptied.
She frowned, her mood slightly complicated, as she changed the magazine and aimed again at the open space beside Xiaolan.
"Get out of my way!"
The scene of rescuing people despite the danger repeatedly reminded Vermouth of that rainy night.
On that rainy night, the girl did the same thing, disregarding the danger she might be in and rushing to save her without hesitation.
She was saved by the "silver-haired killer" she was disguised as at the time.
“...”
The scene from that time resurfaced in Vermouth's mind.
She lost her initial composure in the face of everything and frantically shouted at Xiaolan:
"Move it, Angle!"
In Vermouth's words, Kōyū faintly detected a pleading tone.
As soon as she finished speaking, Vermouth saw Ran release Sherry.
This brought a hint of joy to her face.
But this fleeting joy was short-lived.
She saw Xiaolan collapse helplessly to the side.
Now that "Sherry" has no one to protect her, she can simply shoot directly.
But her attention was entirely on Xiaolan at that moment.
She was about to go forward to check on Xiaolan when suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet grazed her shoulder, drawing out a trickle of bright red blood.
By this time, Judy had regained some of her strength.
During that brief moment, she picked up the pistol that Conan had kicked away with the soccer ball.
However, due to her injuries, her shot missed Vermouth's vital organs.
Even a simple shot would normally exhaust her already dwindling strength.
Therefore, instead of firing rashly, she shouted at Vermouth:
"This is a blind spot for rifles."
"Drop the gun right now!"
"Otherwise, the next shot will be aimed at your head!"
Given her current condition, she is indeed capable of shooting again.
However, the accuracy of this shot cannot be guaranteed.
This is also known as the "random shooting technique".
She didn't want it to be like this either.
Even though she was wearing a bulletproof vest, the power of the rifle bullets was still too great.
Moreover, she chose a lighter bulletproof vest for easier movement.
The consequence of this is that the protective ability of bulletproof vests will be slightly weaker.
Although she may not look seriously injured, she suffered internal injuries.
Just as the two were at an impasse, Guangyou suddenly spoke up:
"I'll go with you."
"Let's end all of this."
"I..."
"I don't want to implicate innocent people anymore."
He made many preparations before he came.
One of them is an anesthetic needle.
Dr. Agasa's lab has a lot of these.
Even his desk drawer had quite a few spares.
He grabbed two or three sticks and put something over them to prevent them from becoming ineffective.
When Xiaolan shielded him, he took out a tranquilizer dart from his pocket, removed the covering, and used it to anesthetize Xiaolan.
He anticipated many possible scenarios.
But Xiaolan's appearance was unexpected.
The anesthetic needle was originally intended for Vermouth.
It's small, so it's not easy to spot at night.
An absolute weapon for surprise attacks.
Unexpectedly, the first anesthetic needle numbed Xiaolan instead.
But this is for the best.
He didn't want Xiaolan to get involved in these things.
This was an unexpected turn of events.
Under their gazes, Kōyū reiterated his thoughts:
"Even if you are arrested today, as long as I am alive, you will not stop hunting me down."
So much has happened here.
