Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 317 Makoto Kyogoku: I Can't Even See the Bullets

"...What's going on? Who exactly is that assassin from the building across the street after?! If you're going to die, then die! Don't drag us down with you!"

"It's not just our side that's on fire; they're in danger over there too!"

The people hiding behind the cover were shouting in frustration, their bodies soaked with sweat.

Neither Conan nor Shuichi Akai know what Qi Ming is planning.

But the next second, Conan understood.

Conan only saw Qi Ming put his bow tie back, then lightly wipe his hand on the ground, and dozens of long black tubes suddenly appeared.

Conan frowned and adjusted his glasses to zoom in on the image.

Long black tube?

No, that's not a long black barrel, it's a gun!

As soon as Qi Ming took out the gun, he immediately shouted to the crowd.

"Gentlemen, I found a lot of guns and plenty of bullets under a hidden compartment in the floor. Do you need them?!"

"Nani??"

Shuichi Akai was also dumbfounded by the way Qi Ming pulled out a bunch of guns without him even realizing it, and a bad feeling quickly arose in his mind.

He felt he had figured out what Qi Ming was really planning.

gun?

Upon hearing Qi Ming's words, everyone present suddenly fell silent.

Perhaps because of the urgency of the situation, they weren't thinking about why there was a hidden compartment on this floor, or why there was a gun inside.

All they could think of was that since they had guns, they could use them to deal with the people in the other building.

Yes, the fire is spreading, and their path forward is blocked by snipers from another building. They must fight back to survive!

Emotions surged, but reason suddenly emerged.

Even though they were trying to survive, doing so is murder!

Murder is unacceptable. Although they evade taxes and have mistresses, they would never commit such a heinous crime.

"What are you still worrying about at a time like this? The law won't punish everyone. The most important thing right now is to survive!"

Qi Ming's words rang out again, and everyone was suddenly awakened.

That makes sense!

The law does not punish the masses, and besides, the spreading fire will burn away all traces, so what are they afraid of!

"Miss, could you please give me a gun?"

"I need a gun here too!"

"Give me a sniper rifle, I'm the shooting champion!"

"..."

As someone took the lead in demanding a gun, more and more people shouted at Qi Ming.

After Qi Ming threw the guns to their respective locations, Conan and Shuichi Akai's expressions turned grim.

However, they are powerless to change the current situation.

This was all a scheme orchestrated by Qi Ming, and once it was set up, there was no way to avoid it!

Shuichi Akai rubbed his temples.

Since Gin is also present, it means that this action is a plan he tacitly approved.

So it's because I'm out of touch with the latest version?

Is this the kind of action their organization would take?

After pondering for a moment, Shuichi Akai suddenly spoke to Qi Ming.

"...I want a gun too."

"No problem, I specially reserved a good gun for you."

To Shuichi Akai's surprise, Qi Ming did not refuse, but instead threw a gun in Akai's direction.

After most people had received their guns, Qi Ming looked at Ai Haibara and asked.

"What are your plans? How about we play a round?"

Ai Haibara looked at Qi Ming helplessly.

"I want to go home."

"Alright, you're all sweaty and smelly."

"You're the one who stinks... Never mind, never mind."

Under the bar, Hideaki Akai glanced at the M700 in his hand.

Somewhat strange.

Did Qi Ming actually give it to him?

Or did he not hear his own voice clearly? But Qi Ming said he had specifically left a gun for himself, didn't he?

Isn't Qi Ming afraid that he might just shoot him in the back of the head?

He tentatively looked towards Qi Ming's location, but Qi Ming and Ai Haibara beside him had already vanished without a trace.

What about people?

Shuichi Akai was searching for Qi Ming's whereabouts when a muffled thud suddenly came from beside him.

boom!

As the bullet was fired, a hole appeared in the floor-to-ceiling window, and a dark figure on the same floor as them in another building suddenly collapsed.

"I...I hit the target?"

The one who shot was the shooting champion who had asked Qi Ming for the sniper rifle.

He glanced at the fallen figure on the opposite floor through the scope and exclaimed in surprise.

Just as he tentatively got up, the vase beside him suddenly shattered.

The shooting champion shuddered and quickly shrank back.

He glanced at the crowd around him, who were holding guns but not moving, and quickly spoke up:

"Hey everyone with guns, come on! There's more than one sniper on the other side. Do you want to be burned alive?!"

"Quickly take out the sniper on the other side so we can escape uphill!"

Perhaps they saw that someone had already made a move, or perhaps they had already seen the dazzling firelight flickering through the crack in the door behind them.

After a brief hesitation, they were filled with determination.

"Let's do it, everyone. Even if we get sniped, it's better than being burned to death, right?"

"What unlucky talk! We'll definitely survive!"

"..."

Their bodies hadn't started burning yet, but everyone's hearts had already begun to ignite.

"Damn it, how did it turn out like this?"

Seeing things starting to take a strange turn, Conan punched the ground hard.

What are the police doing?!

It must have been more than 20 minutes since I made the call.

Why haven't they arrived yet?

"Mr. Kyogoku, will we be alright?"

Sonoko Suzuki anxiously took Makoto Kyogoku's arm, her body trembling uncontrollably.

When Qi Ming mentioned the sniper, she didn't react immediately and stood there blankly. It was Makoto Kyogoku who grabbed her and hid her under the desk in the first instant.

"Don't worry, Ms. Suzuki, we'll be fine."

A faint blush appeared on Makoto Kyogoku's dark face.

It was both because of the softness I felt on my arm and because of the ever-increasing temperature.

Shaking off the erotic thoughts in his mind, Makoto Kyogoku looked at the corpse on the ground.

He felt strange.

Makoto Kyogoku is neither a professional sniper nor a detective; he cannot judge the direction from which a bullet is flying like Shuichi Akai.

What Kyogoku found strange was that when those people fell down, he didn't even notice the trajectory of the bullets!

It seems a bit illogical that I can't even see the bullets.

As a top-tier character on the power rankings, Makoto Kyogoku not only has maxed out his strength, but also his agility.

It means that he can react to bullets and catch them!

The fastest human reaction time is about 0.2 seconds, and the reaction time required to dodge a gun at close range is close to the single digits in milliseconds.

However, even when several burly men were shooting at Makoto Kyogoku with pistols within three meters, he could see through the trajectory of the bullets and dodge them all with his bare hands.

That's why Makoto Kyogoku, who is capable of such skill, was surprised by what had just happened.

They were probably a hundred meters away from the buildings next to them, and dodging a bullet from a hundred meters away is much easier than dodging a bullet at close range.

"Perhaps it's because...the gun models are different?"

Kyogoku Makoto thought to himself silently.

It seems he still needs to practice more.
