Chapter 82: New York Incident
Chapter 82: New York Incident (Cooking Failure)
Shuichi Akai rejected his companions' suggestion to go with him and went into the old street alone to start the search.
There are not many residents in the old street, and most of the buildings are dilapidated and old, and are ready to be demolished or converted into commercial use.
There are three streets from west to east, and there are five or six alleys running through the middle of each street... However, the northernmost street is already partially used for commercial purposes, so Shuichi Akai's target is only the remaining two main streets and the alleys running through them.
and.
When Shuichi Akai arrived, he had already had people block the street corners on both sides in advance. As long as there were any suspicious people coming in or out, he would definitely be caught!
"Let me see what your relationship with them is..."
When Akai Shuichi thought of this, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
There's a figure on the roof over there!
-
"Are you ready, Bourbon?"
On the rooftop, a rough and hoarse voice slowly sounded.
A man with long silver hair and wearing a khaki jacket was leaning on the railing on the roof, holding a mobile phone in his hand.
——Although he also has silver hair, he is definitely not Gin.
The silver color looked like it was dyed, and her hair was not thick, tied loosely into a ponytail at the back of her head.
Looking at its appearance, it was exactly the same as the corpse that Bourbon had dealt with before!
"Ah, it's ready. It's at the fifth shop on No. 23." Bourbon said in a deep voice on the other end of the phone, "Be careful, Vermouth... There are too many houses there. I don't think I can help."
The silver-haired middle-aged man... or rather, Vermouth, who had disguised himself as a silver-haired killer, sneered into the phone and said in a disguised voice:
"Please have a little more confidence in me... This rain is coming at the perfect time, it's perfect for destroying the bodies."
Vermouth is known as the 'Thousand-Faced Witch' in the organization, but apart from the core members, basically no one knows her true appearance...
The origin of this name is her superb disguise skills.
Bourbon was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then suddenly said, "I saw the man. He got out of the car on the west side of the street and walked towards you."
Vermouth, who was disguised as a murderer, was stunned for a moment, then said hoarsely: "Then, I'll contact you later."
"Be careful."
After hanging up the phone, Vermouth stuffed the phone into the pocket she had sewn herself on the inside of her jacket - there was also a bulletproof piece sewn inside, so even if she was shot in the heart, there would not be much danger to her life.
"…Long black hair, knitted hat, this person is Akai Shuichi?"
Vermouth watched on the railing for a while and saw the target approaching.
She had only seen this man in photos, and this was the first time she met him in real life.
"This is the person who... deceived Gin? How interesting." Vermouth curled her lips.
In her opinion, Gin is the typical person who is ruthless to traitors but soft-hearted to his own people. Every time he finds a traitor, Gin is almost always the first one to rush up and kill the person, and it is rare for him to fail.
Vermouth has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
She was observing upstairs, just to see Akai Shuichi's language and movement habits first, and try to find some targeted measures.
She remembered that Akai Shuichi was also left-handed...
Unexpectedly, when Vermouth was squinting her eyes and observing carefully, the other party suddenly raised his head and looked at her without any warning!
Vermouth was startled and quickly shrank back.
"What a powerful perception..."
She was at least a hundred meters away from the other person, but she was discovered just by looking at him a few more times?
Gin is just like this...
(Gin, who didn’t appear in Chapter 3: I’m just like this!
(▼ plate▼#))
Pattering——
The rain curtain tends to gradually get bigger.
Vermouth frowned slightly and went into the abandoned building.
Fighting in the corridor was a good choice... Unfortunately, she had originally planned to launch a sneak attack, but now that the other party had noticed her, she could only compete with him in patience...
Fortunately, she still has certain advantages - she knows Shuichi Akai, but Shuichi Akai doesn't know that she is Vermouth.
……
Tick ~
Tick ~
The sound of raindrops reached Vermouth's ears. Her cold eyes slowly opened in the darkness.
"It took you five minutes to come here... Are you sure I can't escape?"
This man, Shuichi Akai, is too confident... no, too conceited, right?
Vermouth sensed a sense of contempt for her from Shuichi Akai's behavior.
How can I bear this?
"clatter--"
There were footsteps coming up the stairs.
Vermouth leaned against the brick wall, holding her breath.
There are three floors left... two floors... one floor...
"Boom——!"
There was a sudden thunder in the sky outside. Vermouth only heard the other party's footsteps pause, and then he continued to walk forward at the original pace.
So close…only three steps left!
An evil smile appeared on the disguised face - Akai Shuichi, you will stay here forever!
Vermouth even planned to replace Shuichi Akai.
"go to hell!"
When the footsteps reached the same platform as hers, Vermouth appeared from behind the wall, shouting in a disguised voice, aiming at the stairwell, like a real murderer...
However, when she looked towards the darkness at the staircase, she did not see the figure who should be standing in the corridor.
Vermouth was holding the gun for only about 0.5 seconds before she reacted immediately and tried to forcefully shoot at the ground.
But the other pistol was fired before her, and the hot bullet went straight through Vermouth's lower abdomen.
Belmode: "?!"
Because she was injured first, and Akai Shuichi did not appear where she expected, Vermouth's bullet missed.
In the darkness, a figure rose from the ground, and a flash of lightning illuminated his appearance.
——Akai Shuichi.
"Well, I think you have nowhere to run."
Akai Shuichi pointed a silenced pistol at Vermouth's head, "Why don't you talk to me... What's your relationship with those 'black' guys?"
"……whispering sound!"
Vermouth snorted in a false voice, quickly hid behind a wall to avoid the next bullet, and fired back a shot.
But this time, both of them had run out of bullets.
After being shot by Shuichi Akai, Vermouth was feeling resentful. She hadn't thought about escaping yet, but was still thinking about how to use the terrain in the building to deal with the opponent.
But after being hit by a bullet, she now slightly lost the initiative.
She found that no matter which corner she turned, Akai Shuichi would always be behind her, aiming at her and shooting...
But the building was dark, and the man didn't seem to be wearing night vision goggles... How did he aim at her?!
"The only one who can see clearly in the dark is Gin..."
Vermouth suddenly realized that she might have underestimated this person...
But she didn't know that Shuichi Akai only roughly confirmed her location based on his super intuition and the reflection of a small mirror.
……
The chase lasted nearly ten minutes in the corridor.
Vermouth began to feel dizzy due to the blood loss from the bullet wound in the abdomen.
"No, we can't delay this any longer..."
Vermouth gritted her teeth, stared at the window facing the street, accelerated over and flipped over the railing.
Seeing Akai Shuichi following closely behind, Vermouth flipped out and fired several shots, smashing the decorative building above the hanging window into pieces. All of them fell down and blocked the window, blocking Akai Shuichi's steps. Then she jumped down the building, covered her right abdomen, and staggered to another street...
Okay, Master Qin is coming back!
