…

Kudo's house, Lupine the Third's new car, the Fiat 500, is parked in the yard.

As soon as Qin Zhibo, Kudo Yusaku, Lupine III, and Jigen Daisuke got into the car, the tires under the car were pressed down a lot.

As the car owner, Lupine III controlled the steering wheel and asked Qin Zhibo in the back seat: "Where is it?"

"Well...let me think about it..."

"Think about it now!?"

Lupine III in the front seat blew his nose and glared at "Conan" in the rearview mirror.

But "Conan" no longer paid attention to him at this time, but wore white gloves on his hands and slowly closed his eyes.

He recalled Yamada's appearance in his mind, and after a moment, a specific direction appeared in his mind.

"Drive east first!"

"East?"

Lupine the Third was surprised. How could a normal person tell the driver the direction of where he wanted to go?

However, Kudo Yusaku next to him saw the somewhat familiar operation of "Conan" and remembered that he had used this method to find Lupine III's secret stronghold in Vespania.

Is this magic...?

"Do as he says!"

Kudo Yusaku also helped to repeat it.

Seeing this, Lupine III could only put aside his doubts, step on the accelerator, and the white Felt 500 immediately drove towards the east at lightning speed.

Not long after driving, we encountered the first road.

Unfortunately, the signal light on the other side of the road is red, and the traffic in front of us is at its most congested.

Faced with this situation, Lupine the Third showed an evil smile on his lips.

Without any hesitation in his hands, he pressed the accelerator to the bottom and rushed towards the traffic.

At the critical moment when he was about to hit traffic, he twisted the steering wheel vigorously and performed a handsome drift + tail flick, allowing the body of the Fiat 500 to pass right between the two moving cars.

Whether it's drifting or a second-stage flick, as long as you make a slight mistake of 10cm, you will collide with the moving traffic and cause a series of collisions.

However, Lupine III dared to do this.

Daisuke Jigen, who was traveling with him, also had a normal expression, obviously he was used to it.

Only Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku, who were sitting in the back seat, were holding the front seat with their hands. Although they didn't scream loudly, their eyes were frightened.

Next, Lupine the Third went through the red lights on three roads in a row, showing off his driving skills in the busy traffic.

Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku, who have always been law-abiding, did not say anything about this. After all, this is an emergency moment and saving people is the most important thing.

What's more, Lupine the Third is a criminal to begin with, so wouldn't running a red light fit his character perfectly?

With such driving skills, it took only 5 minutes to reach the position Qin Zhibo sensed.

In the setting sun, an undecorated abandoned building next to the street was dyed orange-red by the setting sun.

The rolling shutter door at the entrance of the abandoned building was not completely closed, leaving a 10cm gap below. The space inside looked like a dark ribbon against the setting sun.

Qin Zhibo closed his eyes and used the finding spell to confirm it one last time.

"right here!"

Lupine III parked the car at the main entrance of the building and got out of the car with Daisuke Jigen.

Qin Zhibo also wanted to get out of the car, but Kudo Yusaku reached out and held his shoulder.

"Just let them go..."

Qin Zhibo looked at Kudo Yusaku's eyes and knew that he did not want his own son's body to suffer any accidents.

After all, if Yamada is inside, the killer might be too.

So, Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku stayed in the car, and the old partners Lupine and Jigen entered the building to look for Yamada.

The two came to the rolling shutter door. Just when Daisuke Jigen was about to bend down to pull up the rolling shutter door, he saw scattered blood stains on the ground.

"Lupin..."

Jiyuan reminded Lupine III, who also noticed it.

The blood stains continued into the building. Judging from the amount of bleeding, the distance between the blood drops, and the degree of coagulation, the injured person could probably survive for a while.

But the premise is not to be found by the killer...

The two opened the rolling shutter door, and after entering, closed the rolling shutter door with their hands, still leaving only a 10cm gap.

The purpose of this is to prevent the injured killer from escaping, and to prevent unsuspecting passers-by from coming in.

Entering the abandoned building, the two of them first looked around at the dim surroundings.

Judging from the layout of the lobby on the first floor and the waste materials accumulated in the corners, it was originally supposed to be built into a high-end residential apartment building.

Since it is a high-end apartment building, there are at least two stairs, one on the left and one on the left.

The blood stains on the ground extended directly to the stairs on the left closest to the door.

The two looked at each other and quickly assigned their respective routes.

Daisuke Jigen, who was slightly better at marksmanship and was also a former professional killer, chased the killer from behind.

Lupine III went up from another staircase, responsible for outflanking and supporting, cutting off all escape routes for the killer.

The two men each took out pistols from their waists, a Smith and Wesson revolver and a Walter P38, which emitted a cold light that penetrated the darkness.

At the same time, in the corridor on the third floor of the building, the bronze-skinned killer was stopping in the middle of the spacious and bright corridor, maintaining his gun position.

His ears trembled slightly, and he just heard some movement coming from downstairs.

It's the sound of the rolling shutter door opening...

Has anyone come in?

Building management?

Or is it the person who just spoke to the target on the phone?

It seems that it needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

The killer stepped up his steps with his gun in hand, approaching the room at the end of the corridor.

Blood drops were dripping on the gray cement floor, and at the end was the room door.

But when he came to the door at the end and was about to open the door and enter, there was a trace of hesitation on his cold face.

The blood drops on the ground seem to have been extending towards this room, but through the setting sun and the reflection of the cement floor, you can see the footprints on the fine dust on the ground, lingering at the door.

The owner of this footprint lingered at the door for a moment, then walked back to the penultimate room next to it.

The killer tilted his upper body and looked at the reflection on the ground from a tricky angle, with a trace of seriousness appearing on his stern face.

If you just rely on blood to track prey, you may be fooled.

Immediately, he walked to the next room, his left hand wrapped in black leather gloves gently holding the door handle, and the other hand held a gun in a ready posture.

The setting sun outside the corridor window shone on his dark golden hair, making it look a bit dazzling.

Click.

The door handle was easily turned open.

squeak--

The door was gently pushed open, and the door shaft, which had not been lubricated for a long time, made an unpleasant noise.

This is the voice of death.

As the room was slowly pushed open, the inevitable heavy breathing in the room became traceable again.

The killer leaned forward and was about to go in and kill the prey when a man's voice suddenly came from the other end of the corridor.

"Hello!"

The killer turned his head, and as soon as the outline of the man's figure appeared in his field of vision, a bullet flew over.

PIa!

Loud gunfire echoed in the corridor.

The killer's right arm felt a sting, and when he looked down, he saw that there was a bloody hole in his upper arm.

The bronze face illuminated by the setting sun was twisted in pain, and he turned around to shoot back at the man on the other side of the corridor.

But how could Daisuke Jigen give him a chance?

He raised the revolver, and the notch on the brim, the raised point on the muzzle, and the killer's pistol quickly connected in a line.

PIa!

There was another gunshot, and the killer's pistol was sent flying several meters away.
