Chapter 73 Under the Shadow

Three forks in the road.

As the dump truck gradually approached, the roaring roar of the engine reached Fujino's ears.

"It's never over!"

Fujino cursed secretly, and immediately destroyed the driving skill card.

[The driving skill enhancement effect has been turned on, remaining time: 599 seconds]

The system prompts came from my ears.

The next moment, a strange feeling spread throughout the body.

Fujino felt that his understanding of motorcycle driving had reached a new level.

At this moment, the motorcycle riding underneath me no longer seemed to be a motorcycle.

But the third leg!

Looking back at the approaching dump truck, Fujino took a deep breath and pressed the brakes on the rear wheel of the motorcycle.

Suddenly, the motorcycle's body began to shake violently, and the forcibly braked rear wheel swung back and forth on the snowy road.

Fujino seized the moment of shaking and released the brakes.

The motorcycle that was still wagging its tail just now slid sideways in a strange way.

"boom!"

There was a violent crash.

Fujino jumped off the motorcycle and rolled several times on the snowy road before he could stop.

The abandoned motorcycle continued to slide until it hit a telephone pole on the side of the road and was forced to stop.

After a moment, Fujino struggled to get up from the snow.

He first took off the broken windshield and threw it aside, revealing the fishing hat on his head. Then he raised his head and stared at the dump truck not far away.

At this time, the dump truck had hit the cement wall, and the cab was directly crushed under the high-speed impact.

Fujino took a deep breath and calmed down.

Immediately, a heart-wrenching pain came from everywhere in his body.

Lowering his head, he saw blood dripping from the wound on his elbow and dripping from his fingers.

"Has the effects of the adrenaline worn off?"

Fujino frowned, and immediately took out the [Fat House Happy Water] that he had drawn previously from his pocket.

After drinking the entire bottle, the heart-wrenching pain was instantly suppressed.

[Fat House Happy Water: Enhances the host’s recovery ability, with additional refreshing and analgesic effects]

"Who is he?"

Although the pain was suppressed, Fujino's heart was still beating violently and his breathing became deeper and deeper.

Fujino took out a Chinese cigarette from his pocket and lit it. After calming down, he took off the wooden knife from his neck and cautiously walked towards the deformed dump truck.

Arriving at the twisted cab of the dump truck.

Through the broken cab glass, he saw the man's face clearly.

It was a scrawny middle-aged man, and blood was already covering the man's face.

"Already dead?"

Fujino looked at the squashed and deformed body, his face gradually turning cold.

After a while, he took out his cell phone and dialed Mu Mu Shisan's number.

…………

Not far away, an old Porsche model drove slowly by.

"Boss, the plan failed."

Vodka, who was wearing a black suit and a black hat, looked away and asked the person sitting in the passenger seat: "Should we go up and kill him directly?"

"unnecessary."

The man named Gin has long silver-white hair reaching his waist. He is also dressed in black and wears a black top hat.

After glancing sideways at the vodka, he continued: "The failure of this operation has already resulted in the loss of a dead soldier who could sacrifice his life for our organization. If we continue to do meaningless things, I am afraid that the existence of the organization will be exposed."

"If the existence of the organization is exposed just because of an abandoned chess piece, the gain outweighs the loss."

"But if we let him go like this, how will we explain to that person?"

Vodka frowned and seemed a little hesitant.

"Explain?"

Gin sneered, then looked out the window and said in a deep voice: "You have to remember, it's not that we need that guy, but that guy is so useless that he needs us... Without us, that guy is nothing. .”

Vodka nodded upon hearing this, as if he had understood Gin's words.

After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask Gin: "But having said that, brother, if that woman Miyano Akemi really stole one billion yen, we would have no reason to execute her."

"Does the organization need a reason to execute peripheral members who don't even have code names?"

Gin snorted coldly, and his eyes gradually turned cold: "From the day that woman introduced rye whiskey into the organization, her fate of execution was destined."

"Any rat who betrays the organization should die, even if she is that person's sister."

…………

Late at night, Fujino's house.

The light of the incandescent lamp shines through the gaps in the curtains. The room is extremely quiet, and the sound of the clock is extremely noisy.

Fujino had just returned home from the accident scene and went to the bathroom.

"That dump truck is definitely trying to kill me..."

Fujino took off his clothes and stared at the mottled wounds on his body in the mirror, his eyes gradually becoming cold.

If the detective enhancement effect is not activated in advance, and the life-saving windbreaker can withstand the most severe impact.

I'm afraid that the accident just now may not be able to be resolved with just minor injuries.

But who would want to kill him?

Putting away his thoughts, Fujino sighed and looked at the wound on his elbow.

"It would be troublesome if the gravel stays in the wound."

After cleaning the wound on the elbow with clean water.

After a pause, Fujino poured the hydrogen peroxide placed next to the sink again.

"hiss…………"

Feeling the heart-wrenching pain coming from his elbow, Fujino gritted his teeth, and tears seemed to burst from his eyes.

After a while, the pain dissipated.

He then dripped iodine onto the wound and wrapped it with a bandage.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the live broadcast of the murder case and gaining 200 detective reputation points]

[System reward bounty has been distributed]

[Detective level upgrade, junior four-star]

[Congratulations to the host for acquiring a new professional skill: Detective Intuition]

[Currently, the number of points that can be allocated to the detective profession: 1]

After Fujino finished treating the wound, he had just sat down on the sofa when a system prompt echoed in his ears.

"Is it the expected upgrade?"

Fujino cheered up and opened the system interface:

[Main professional detective: Junior four-star (0-700)]

[Full-time Detective: Get additional bounty reputation rewards when completing case commissions]

[Detective Time: Elementary (No one can interrupt your reasoning within 60 seconds)]

[Detective enhancement: primary four stars (limited time to strengthen the body by 200%) primary one star (strengthening time 120 seconds)]

[Detective Momentum: When the host triggers the detective effect, it will automatically psychologically crush the suspect and reduce the prisoner's combat effectiveness by 10%]

[Detective Intuition: Elementary (reasoning ability increases by 25%, and when detective intuition is actively triggered, reasoning ability increases by 100%; note active skill duration: 60 seconds)]

[Current system balance: 2.85 million yen]

"So this new skill is to strengthen reasoning ability?"

Fujino was surprised, lowered his head and pinched the person with his hand, "The reasoning ability is indeed a common sense detective skill."

Putting away his thoughts, he allocated a few points from the detective level improvement to the time for detective strengthening:

[Detective enhancement:

(Enhanced primary four-star: strengthen the host’s physical ability by 200%)

(Time primary two stars: strengthening duration is four minutes)]

"Has it doubled?"

Fujino murmured as he looked at the enhancement effect that had been increased to four minutes after the upgrade.

Immediately, he turned his attention to the professional ball extraction interface.
