#1149 - The goose plucks its feathers while the beast leaves, leaving its skin behind

"So, compared to that big sister Akiba Reiko, which one is more important, the friendship with these children?"

"No, Conan, you can't forget your loyalty just for the sake of beauty!"

"That's right, if you forget about your good friends when you see a big sister, we won't be friends with you, Conan!"

"Okay, I got it!"

Conan looked at the little ones who were madly mocking him, frowned, and finally sighed and said, "Can't I go with you?"

“Yeah!”

"Conan finally came to his senses!"

"Well, it's all thanks to our painstaking teachings!"

Conan looked at the little ones in front of him, who all looked like they were "persuading their friends to quit masturbation" with a sense of accomplishment. He felt like picking up a cigarette and taking a big puff, so that he could forget about these little ones until his head hurt.

How did I get to know this bunch of bastards?

…………

In the mountains and forests near Reiko Akiba's home.

Akiba Reiko sat in Fujino's car and went up the mountain under the escort of two people. In the forest, she suddenly said to Sato Miwako:

"I'm sorry for what I said last night. Just pretend I didn't say it."

"oh……"

Miwako Sato was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She didn't expect that this woman would actually apologize.

But the tone of the apology is still so stiff...

He is indeed an old tsundere.

She felt much better.

However, what she cared about at this moment was not these, but...

"So, you're about to perform, why are you taking a walk in the forest?"

"European music was born in the embrace of nature, so I naturally want to integrate the breath of nature into my body."

“…”

Sato Miwako had dead eyes and didn't understand what the natural breath was about.

She didn't sense any breath, only heard the sounds of animals coming from the mountains.

Could it be that this old tsundere woman is a superstitious charlatan like Fujino?

"So, how can you let her take a forest bath..."

Having hit a wall here, Sato Miwako slowed down her pace and walked behind. Looking at Akiba Reiko in front of her who was wearing a sportswear, she whispered to Fujino who was walking in front of her with resentment: "If that guy takes this opportunity to rush out and kill her, it will be troublesome."

"With your personality, you have to go along with her."

Fujino put his hands in his pockets and walked around breathing the fresh air of the forest. "Only if you can make her happy can you move forward. Sato, you need to keep practicing your ability to read people's personalities. Otherwise, how can you become a senior police officer in the power struggle at the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Sato Miwako: "..."

Why do I feel like you are scolding me like an old leader?

Damn it, you're not even a policeman.

Just a temporary worker...

Sato Miwako complained in her heart, and then said, "You'd better not dream of becoming a captain and reaching the pinnacle of life for me. I may not be able to step down as a police inspector in the next two years. There is only one position for each person. If I want to be promoted, I have to wait for Shiratori and Megure to leave, or I have to be transferred. I can forget about becoming a superintendent. By that time, I will be an old woman."

"Compared to these, protecting her is the most important thing, right?"

"It's dangerous because we know it!" Sato Miwako couldn't help but complain.

"As the old saying goes, there is always adversity in prosperity and there is always prosperity in adversity."

Fujino crossed his arms and said, "Although it looks dangerous at first glance, there are always opportunities hidden in danger. If that guy also knows that she will go for a forest bath, then he will come out to assassinate her. Then, can the two of us take the opportunity to capture her?"

You seem a bit too extreme...

Seeing him look like everything was settled, Sato Miwako couldn't help but complain in her heart, then she sighed and said helplessly: "It would be fine if the other party just used a knife or something, but if they had a gun, we would both be killed by them and die in the line of duty..."

"No, you seem to be a temporary worker."

"In short, if she gets killed, don't blame me for not warning her."

"You really reminded me of this."

Fujino suddenly thought of something when he heard that. He then mysteriously took out two things from his back and showed them to her: "Even if there is a gun, it won't be a big problem. I have something to deal with it."

"Look at what this is?"

"Bulletproof vest..."

Miwako Sato narrowed her eyes and took a look. She knew that Fujino had a bulletproof vest that he had robbed from Inspector Megure, but the other one...

"Where did you get the other one?" Sato Miwako took a closer look and said, "It seems to have Osaka Prefecture written on it..."

"Yes, it was brought over from Osaka Prefecture."

Miwako Sato looked at the guy in front of her who was robbing with a clear conscience. The corner of her eye twitched. She thought to herself that it was no wonder that Osaka was so angry at that time. She couldn't help but complain: "You guys really want to squeeze the tears out of sparrows and not let anyone go."

"When a goose passes by, the feathers are plucked, and when a beast leaves, the skin is left. Otherwise, where did I get so many bulletproof vests?"

“That makes sense…”

Fujino gave two bulletproof vests to Miwako Sato and Reiko Akiba.

“…”

Reiko Akiba looked at the bulletproof vest with the words Osaka Prefecture printed on it and didn't know what to say for a moment.

It’s not about how this bulletproof vest was obtained from Osaka Prefecture…

But where on earth did you get the bulletproof vest from?

I didn’t see you take out your bulletproof vest when we went up the mountain!

Reiko Akiba complained helplessly in her heart, but after looking at the reaction of Miwako Sato next to her, she didn't say anything more.

I was just a little curious, how come these people didn't notice this guy's outrageous actions at all...

Miwako Sato has long been accustomed to it.

She noticed something else:

"We both have bulletproof vests..."

"What about you?"

"Me? I don't care."

"You don't care..."

"Alright, alright, stop taking it off and get dressed. If I didn't know, I would think you were going to molest me."

"What is indecent..."

Seeing that he was about to take off the suit jacket he was wearing underneath, Fujino quickly waved his hands and made a look of disgust.

In his impression, that old bastard, Puhejiang, should have used a sniper rifle to attack Reiko Akiba when she was walking in the forest.

Although Puhejiang did not seem to intend to take Akiba Reiko's life, Fujino still felt that it was better to be on the safe side. Who knew if this old bastard would become insane and really plan to kill people after driving a big truck to chase his daughter-in-law.

Of course Sato had to put one on as well.

Although she is a shrew, she is still a mortal after all, and she will be hurt if she is shot.

Sato Miwako was obviously very resentful about the other party's disdain, but before she could say anything, Fujino grabbed the two people's shoulders and pressed them to the ground.

The two were confused, and then they heard a gunshot.

"It seems you really guessed it right."

Fujino immediately turned on Hawkeye, and the world in front of him became black and white. He looked towards the place where the gunshot came from: "Three o'clock direction, one hundred meters, bolt-action shotgun, it should be equipped with a scope."

"Shotgun?!"

Miwako Sato was stunned when she heard this, and felt that her bad mouth was a bit outrageous.

"The caliber is not large. It can't penetrate your bulletproof vests at this distance."

Fujino got up from the ground and said, "Watch her carefully. I'll go over and hold her down. Don't act rashly. This is a blind spot for shooting."

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Before Sato Miwako could finish her words, Fujino had already jumped up and jumped two or three meters high onto the top branch of the tree.

Fujino stared into the distance, and then saw a man pointing a shotgun at him.

The man was wearing a black sportswear and a black knitted mask on his head to hide his identity.

It looks just like the terrorist in a COSPLAY shooting game...

Fujino didn't even need to think to know that the other party was Puhejiang.

However, at this moment, his attention was all on the shotgun in the other person's hand.

To be honest, he was coveting Pu and Jiang's guns.

There are opportunities to get guns in this world, but they are rare.

Of course, this does not include the outrageous operation of fishing up for anti-aircraft guns.

Although Fujino already had a large number of various pistols, sniper rifles, and shotguns.

But who would complain about having too many guns?

In addition to the shotgun, Fujino also coveted the bombs that Lao Deng had buried in the music hall.

The amount of energy needed to blow down a huge concert hall is a net profit.

Even though I can't sell it for money.

It's very suitable for blowing up cars or people when you're bored.

So Fujino was not in a hurry and was waiting for the old man to take out the gun and hand it to him.

Otherwise, he would have arrested the old bastard who was chasing him in a dump truck.

Fujino was moving around in the treetops, flying from one tree to another, like Naruto in a hot-blooded comic.

Pu and Jiang were stunned and wanted to lock the target in surprise, but found that the crosshairs in the eyepiece could not detect the enemy at all.

No, you are Tarzan? !

Fujino's movements were extremely fast, and his rapid leaps between tree branches made him even faster. It took him only five or six seconds to cover a distance of a hundred meters and reach Pu and Jiang.

Although Pu Hejiang is already an old man, his mental quality and skills have not declined.

After he reacted, he did not hesitate too much. After firing a few empty shots, he started to fight with Fujino in close combat.

Puhejiang began to attack Fujino who was rushing towards him with the butt of his gun.

The butt of the rifle was swung up, making a sound of breaking through the air and hitting Fujino's arm. The movement was as professional as that of a Marine.

Although guns are usually long-range weapons, their power in close combat cannot be underestimated. This thing is actually a variation of the elbow strike, except that the elbow is replaced by the butt of a gun. It is harder and more powerful. There is an iron ring wrapped behind the solid wood butt. It can break a person's jaw with a click when it hits the face.

It's a pity that it was useless. It seemed like the damage was maximum, but it only missed the damage to Fujino.

The thick and hard muscles absorbed all the incoming force.

There was not even any pain.

Next it's time for Fujino to counterattack.

Fujino took out his classic beating tool from his personal space - Okamoto Momoka 0.01.

The dark and thick wooden sword was swung directly at Puhejiang's face, who was wearing a hood.

All I heard was a snap.

Pu and Jiang were thrown out, rolled several times on the ground and hit a big tree.

Fortunately, there was Okamoto Momoka's passive skill of 0.01, otherwise, this blow would have directly smashed half of his face.

Pu and Jiang were completely stunned and had no idea what was happening.

At this moment, he had only one question in his mind:

Where on earth did he get such a thick and big stick? !

Without giving him a chance to think, intense pain accompanied by a feeling of dizziness spread from his brain stem, making his consciousness hazy. The world in front of him gradually became shaky and his eyes became blurred.

Before he could recover, Fujino rushed forward, pinned him to the ground, and hit his head madly with a wooden sword. He also took out a dagger and used his other hand to skillfully cut on his body as if performing surgery.

A series of muffled thuds kept coming through the hood. Pu and Jiang felt the continuous pain and immediately realized that the other party was riding on them and beating them madly.

The severe pain and dizziness in my head became more and more severe.

No, if this goes on, I will be beaten unconscious by this guy!

My plan hasn't been completed yet, how could I be caught now!

In a trance, Pu Hejiang felt the surging power of his unfulfilled persistence in his heart. He opened his eyes with great effort and saw the gun that had fallen beside him.

Without thinking too much, he took out a handful of bullets from his pocket, stuffed a bullet into the chamber with great effort, picked up the gun and fired.

Bang!

The pain and the sound of gunfire came at the same time.

He felt the gun in his hand being shot away, but at the same time, he heard a sound like "Ah - my leg".

He was delighted and immediately realized that he had hit the opponent.

It also limits the opponent's ability to move.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about the gun. He endured the severe dizziness and got up and ran towards his car parked at the foot of the mountain without even looking back.

"This old man is quite tough..."

Fujino looked at Pu and Jiang who were staggering away, and felt secretly sad in his heart.

All we can say is that the old man in the scientific world has a physique that is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

Most young people with weak wills would be knocked unconscious after being hit by two sticks from him.

The old man actually held on for more than ten times.

The strong will to kill is judged as the legendary endurance king.

Fujino retracted his gaze, put away the wooden sword and dagger in his hand, and then picked up the gun and scattered bullets on the ground: "But in this way, the goal has been achieved."
