The sun shines through the clouds and onto the open space outside Miwa University Hospital.
Gathering and making loud noises are prohibited in the hospital, so everyone came here together to share information.
Regarding the news about Conan and Sera Masumi's accident, Ye Gengyi had already 'digested' it when he walked out of the doctor's house.
only……
Sniper instructor and comrade.
If Scott Green has nothing to do with this case, and there is only Kevin Yoshino from beginning to end, then there is a 1/2 chance of choosing the wrong one, which still makes him a little helpless... Sure enough, in terms of the screening conditions, it should be Did you add the keyword that some US troops are equal to beasts from the beginning?
Hmm...be careful next time.
His eyes fell back on Conan, who was telling everyone about the sniper attack.
Compared to the panic a few minutes ago, this kid's mood has basically returned to calmness.
Mumu Shisan frowned. He looked at Conan and said in a serious tone: "So it was not an unplanned murder. Mr. Murphy was the target from the beginning."
Conan nodded 'hmm'.
Mumu Shisan continued: "Thank you, that's all I want to ask."
Ye Gengyi heard a feeling of relief from his voice, and he quickly figured out the key... Did he find a clue?
The idea just came up.
Here, James Blake also took over the topic: "Then it is certain that the murderer and Hunter are accomplices."
Takagi Sheba asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"
The one who answered him was Memu Thirteen, who had already had a brief exchange with the FBI: "Just now, new evidence was discovered through the assistance of the FBI."
"What...new evidence?" Sato Miwako asked.
Judy Stelling said calmly: "We found out that 8 years ago, Hunter suffered from the sequelae caused by being shot in the head, which caused a severe loss of vision and was no longer able to snipe."
"Ah?" Shiratori Rensaburo looked shocked: "But...Hunt's diary clearly states that he will confront the murderer this time."
James Blake said: "Regarding this, we think it is all a lie. Hunter and his accomplices must have thought that the successive sniper killings would lead us to investigate him, so they commissioned the other party to shoot themselves."
"How can it be……"
"No way."
Except for Mumu Thirteen, all the detectives expressed their disbelief.
Andrey Kamel took a deep breath and continued: "If I, as the number one suspect, were killed by a sniper, it would not only disrupt the police investigation, but also make the next target, Mr. Murphy, lose his guard and allow the sniper to It becomes easier, maybe that’s how Hunter planned it from the beginning.”
Judy Stelling added: "When the murderer shot Hunter, he was obviously only 150 meters away, but he still missed the shot. I'm afraid it was all because even if it came from his own commission, the murderer still hesitated... …And only this sniper used light bullets from other guns, which can also be explained as wanting to keep Hunter’s body intact as much as possible. This should be the murderer’s idea.”
That’s why Hunter…
Takagi Wataru pondered and said: "Even though he couldn't see clearly, he still pulled the trigger in the direction of the floating tank because he didn't want to aim at the opponent from the beginning."
Sato Miwako continued: "But he noticed the murderer's hesitation and responded."
"Yes." Judy Stelling nodded in agreement: "Based on this, we can infer that both of them are highly skilled snipers. Face to face at such a close distance, each of them missed one bullet. This is an unusual scene. A reasonable explanation.”
Shiratori Rensaburo asked with some worry: "But... wouldn't it be dangerous to draw a conclusion based only on indirect evidence?"
James Blake shook his head and said firmly: "No. We have found enough evidence to support this reasoning!"
"ah?"
Shiratori Rensaburo, Chiba Kazunobu, Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako once again expressed surprise in unison.
Andrey Kamel opened his laptop and showed a screenshot of the evidence image: "We previously asked the FBI headquarters to analyze the images taken by Conan and the others on the Bell Tree tower at the first sniper site. In addition to the murderer using a sniper rifle, , and there is another suspicious person who is suspected of being an accomplice.”
"It's true." Several people looked closer and talked about it.
Andrey Kamel explained: "Through image analysis, the figure of the deputy shooter is 70% similar to Hunter..."
Deputy sniper?
Conan was startled.
Because in his understanding, the SEALs don't need deputy snipers.
"We speculate that it may be due to the severe headache and worsening vision that Hunter realized that he could not escape these pains in his life, so he entrusted his death and revenge to the prisoner this time." Judy Stelling explain.
"Please wait!"
Shiratori Rensaburo interrupted: "If all this was arranged by Hunter in advance, does that mean that the people who killed Carlos Lee and Mark Spencer had nothing to do with this sniper case?"
Um?
The three FBI were stunned.
"I received the news on the way here."
Shiratori Rensaburo said seriously: "The person who invited Bill Murphy to Tokyo was Mark Spencer."
? !
"What!? But..."
James Blake subconsciously wanted to deny this ridiculous information, but he quickly reacted and said in surprise:
"So, the murderer who killed Mr. Murphy on the Komagata Bridge assumed the identity of Mr. Spencer!"
"That's right. We have not disclosed this news to the public." Shiratori Rensaburo's expression was not good.
For a moment, except for Conan, who had no source of information about the name Mark Spencer, and Ye Gengyi, who knew the truth, an idea came into the minds of everyone present.
Could it really be a struggle of interests?
Someone used the sniper case of Timothy Hunter to get rid of Mark Spencer, who was still using the resources of the US military to make a fortune after retiring from the army... and the person who instigated the rebellion was the other party's most trusted secretary...
this……
James Blake's expression changed.
Because he thinks more than others.
If it is really a high-level struggle, can this case still be investigated? Do you still dare to check...
He thought for a moment, coughed slightly, and said:
"Ahem... let's treat them as two cases. The top priority is to find Hunter's accomplice first. I remember that this time the other party should also have left bullet casings and dice at the scene... As I expected, the dice were The number should be 1, right?"
James Blake looked at the detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department with an expression that put the overall situation first.
Shiratori Rensaburo shook his head:
"No...the dice left at the sniper site this time, the number is 5..."
