Chapter 2911 2923 [Selecting the Shooting Location]
The target of silencing is now within the field of vision.
The factors that caused the obstruction have also left after they have finished their work.
It seemed that now was the perfect time to take action, but Calvados hesitated for a long time and still had no motivation to stand up and change positions.
Facing the ambiguous gaze of Vodka next to him, Calvados suddenly thought of a reason to stay put, and he said confidently:
"At this distance, the sound of gunfire will surely reach the Takehara Café over there. If there's a shooting, those pesky detectives will surely come to investigate. If we act now, we'll only expose ourselves.
"Why not just wait for them to come over? Once they find this group of people, Chizo Ogura will definitely hide somewhere else and run to a secluded place. We just need to take the opportunity to keep an eye on his movements, and then catch up with him and kill him after he runs away."
Vodka nodded in pretentious agreement and left everything to Calvados, while secretly thinking about 108 ways to avoid being accidentally injured.
Calvados had no idea what his colleague was thinking. After deciding on the general plan, he finally had a reason to stay put and not approach the strange place below. He just patiently hid himself in the vegetation again.
Soon, a minute passed.
10 minutes passed.
More time passed...
Calvados looked at the empty forest below: "......?"
What about those annoying detectives hanging out at the cafe? They heard the gunshots but didn't come over to check?
Calvados couldn't help but shift his gaze, moved the sniper scope away from the mountains and forests, and looked towards the cafe in the distance.
From here, you can just see the backyard of the cafe.
I thought that even if I didn't see detectives going into the mountains to look for someone, I would at least see young people anxiously discussing something. However, unexpectedly, the courtyard was filled with a peaceful scene.
——The high school students did not look anxious at all. Instead, they were eating popcorn and chatting with a middle-aged man with an eagle on his hand.
After chatting for a while, they put on heavy leather gloves one by one and started playing with the falcon with the falconer.
Calvados: “?”
What's going on? How come these guys didn't seem to hear the shotgun fire just now? Isn't it just Chizo Ogura who was swinging on the swing in the woods like an idiot, but everyone else in the cafe is deaf?
Is this a high-tech black shop where you will become deaf when you come here?
All kinds of absurd thoughts flashed through his mind, and for a moment, Calvados suspected that the stress of losing guns recently had caused him to hallucinate.
To verify, he reached out and pinched to the side.
The next moment, a colleague who dared to be angry but not scold him slapped him away with a hiss: "What are you doing?!"
Calvados looked at him silently: "..." From the feel, to the reaction, to the subsequent inquiries, everything was consistent with the actual vodka. In other words, everything in front of him was real, and he was not dreaming.
That’s right, even if he was dreaming, he should dream of Vermouth. Who would have the leisure to let vodka wander into his dream?
So why exactly…
etc!
Suddenly, Calvados caught a little.
He suddenly looked towards the yard, and his eyes quickly fell on a strange-shaped machine covered with cloth.
After staring for a while, he asked Vodka: "Look at what that machine is - the rectangular block covered with cloth in the northwest corner of the yard."
Vodka cursed, holding the telescope, glanced over there casually, and said impatiently: "Of course it's the popcorn machine."
Calvados narrowed his eyes suspiciously again: "It's covered with cloth and has no obvious features on the outside. How do you know it's a popcorn machine?"
"Because one of the main businesses of Takehara Café is to experience popcorn!" Vodka snorted, remembering the many comments he had seen before collecting intelligence. "This café doesn't have many serious businesses. Apart from the popcorn machine, what else could be placed in the yard..."
Halfway through his words, Vodka suddenly realized something and his expression became strange.
Calvados also understood it belatedly. His eyes twitched slightly and he gritted his teeth: "...I see."
No wonder the idiot on the swing didn't run away, no wonder the detectives in the cafe didn't react, no wonder the murderer knew there were many people in the cafe, but dared to commit murder and shoot in this mountain...
It turned out that the gunshot I heard just now completely coincided with the sound of popcorn popping in the cafe!
So when the gunshot was heard, both Chizo Ogura and the group of stupid detectives thought that the gunshot was caused by someone popping popcorn in the backyard.
The strange phenomenon was given a scientific and reasonable explanation, and Calvados' courage and decisiveness suddenly returned.
He stared at the swaying shadow of the target he wanted to silence, his killing intent rekindled: "It's time to act."
It seemed that the murderer was also very aware of the time when the popcorn popped, so he chose to shoot at that time on purpose, hoping to cover up the actual time of the murder.
Although Calvados was not interested in murders and reasoning, he had never seen a pig run, but had he never eaten pork? After a little thought, he felt that the murderer probably wanted to use this method to give himself an alibi.
"In this case, it is safer to act now. If we wait until the body is discovered and chaos breaks out on the mountain, things will get troublesome."
Thinking of this, Calvados felt a little regretful for a moment, regretting that he had not seen this point earlier - if he had run down and shot Ogura Chizo to death as soon as the murderer left, then he would not only be able to complete the task neatly, but also be able to plant the shot on the murderer, letting the panicked murderer take the blame and attract attention, and while the police were busy interrogating the murderer, he could easily finish this annoying task and happily return to Tokyo to see the goddess.
After a brief moment of fantasy, Calvados' thoughts reluctantly returned to reality.
...Now that things have come to this, it's too late to regret.
We can only act as soon as possible and hope that everything will be in time.
…
After making up his mind, Calvados threatened Vodka to support him. After making preparations, he did not hesitate any longer.
He went down with his gun in hand, but did not go to the place he had chosen before. Instead, he went to a more remote place - the murderer had just dumped a body at that place, and if the murderer was still in the woods, he might pay special attention to that place.
Rather than taking this risk, it is better to change the place. Anyway, Chizo Ogura looks stupid and does not have much anti-reconnaissance ability.
As he thought about this, Calvados tiptoed to the target location.
He raised his gun and slowly aimed the crosshairs at the clueless Chizo Ogura.
The next moment, as his body adjusted, Calvados suddenly saw a cold reflection in his peripheral vision.
