Rice University Hospital, Ward 406.
After the operation, Masumi Sera was finally out of danger.
Akai Shuichi, who faced Subaru Okiya, put a bouquet of flowers on the table in the ward and looked sideways at his sister who was still in a coma.
Before the others returned to the ward, he left quietly.
Inside the dimly lit safety staircase.
There was the faint sound of emails being sent and received.
[Akai Shuichi: Pass on the information you have about the sniper so far, and let me deal with him. 】
[James Blake: ...I know that the only people who can deal with snipers are snipers. However, the current situation is still unclear. I have to reconsider whether to let you take action. 】
Akai Shuichi deleted the email and did not reply again.
He understood James' concerns, because if the person who killed one sniper was another sniper, the police would definitely investigate thoroughly regardless of whether the media would report it or not.
In this way, the news that another sniper appeared in Tokyo is likely to spread.
For his current mission, it is naturally quite disadvantageous.
However, in the current situation, even if there is no news from James, he will not sit idly by and ignore it.
…
Tokyo, the second floor of a coffee shop.
James Blake deleted the email with Shuichi Akai, looked up at Judy Stelling and Andre Kamel who came to join him, and said with emotion:
"The latest news, based on DNA sample comparison, is that the charred corpse is indeed Scott Green. Unexpectedly, he was actually killed... How are you doing here? Have you found the whereabouts of Kevin Yoshino?"
"No……"
Judy Stelling shook her head: "Since the first time we asked him about Timothy Hunter, he closed the store and never went back."
"That's it..."
James Blake sighed, and at this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
It's the police department of the Metropolitan Police Department...
James Blake did not answer the call immediately. After waving his hand to signal Judy Stelling and Andre Kamel not to follow, he stood up and left his seat, walked to the corner of the restaurant and pressed the answer button:
"Hello? Memu Police Department."
"Ah... Mr. James," Mu Mu Shisan's voice was very heavy: "There is something I want to tell you."
"Huh? We must have found traces of Kevin Yoshino, right?" James Blake was very optimistic.
"No...it's bad news."
Mumu Shisan said: "Mr. Waltz's current whereabouts are unknown..."
Whereabouts unknown? !
"How is this going?"
James Blake was surprised: "Isn't he under police protection?"
"We are still confused about this," Megure Shisan said. "Just now I received a call from the Kyoto Prefectural Police. After being questioned, Mr. Waltz went back to his room to rest for a while and told his wife that he would be back later. Then he left the hotel through the side door and has not come back until now..."
"Why!? What reason does he have to go out at this time?! And you...well..."
James Blake subconsciously wanted to ask why the Japanese police made such a big omission and couldn't even see the side entrance of a hotel, but he still endured it and said instead:
"...If there is any news from my side, I will also inform you."
"Okay. Sorry to trouble you." Mumu Shisan responded, and his face looked a little unhappy after hanging up the phone.
Although James Blake stopped speaking in time, he still received the emotion he wanted to express.
But……
Can this kind of thing really be entirely blamed on the Kyoto Prefecture police?
In the process of recounting, Ayanokouji Fumimaro had made it clear that Jack Waltz looked down on them and had no cooperative attitude at all. However, in order to protect the other party, Kyoto Prefecture still dispatched eight criminal policemen with live ammunition.
As a result, the other party actually sneaked away.
Here, James Blake returned to his seat and faced the gazes of his two subordinates. In line with the principle of 'the credit cannot be shared, but the trouble must be shared', he also provided the Thirteen Eyes without any concealment. The news was relayed.
"What! Waltzing him..." Judy Stelling and Andrey Kammer both showed surprised expressions.
"I don't know what happened in Kyoto right now..." After James Blake calmed down, he seemed to be the calmest of the three.
He took a sip of coffee and ordered:
"Anyway, Judy and Kamel, you two are now going to the Metropolitan Police Department to find the Mumu Police Department to investigate with them. If you have any news, report it to me immediately."
"Yes." Andre Kamel stood up immediately.
"Sorry... I have to go to the bathroom first." Judy Stelling didn't want to be too passive, and planned to find a detective boy to understand the situation before setting off.
Walk quickly to the bathroom.
Judy Stelling called Conan and shared the latest information.
Conan also expressed surprise and incomprehension at Jack Waltz's behavior of secretly leaving police protection:
"Why……"
"Who knows what's going on in his head."
Judy Stelling sighed.
It is too passive. Whether it is the sniper case in Seattle or the random killings that are being promoted more and more crazily due to the side effects of some expert commentators, have the police and FBI ever successfully stopped the murderer's intention?
What if Jack Waltz had been shot in public...
"dice."
Conan murmured: "I always feel that the dice left by the murderer at the scene should have its own meaning. Maybe if you solve it, you can know where Mr. Waltz went."
"..."
Judy Stelling was startled: "You mean, he took the initiative to run to the next sniper point? But, this kind of thing is too strange..."
"I don't know either."
Conan shook his head and guessed: "But I think there might be some special grudge between the murderer and Mr. Waltz that we haven't found yet."
"Okay, I will re-examine the relationship between the suspect and the victim."
Judy Stelling planned to start from this angle later and investigate again: "Then let's leave it like this for now, and we will contact you if there is any news."
Not long after, she left the coffee shop with Andrey Kamel.
After successive defeats, James Blake no longer had any expectations for the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation.
Jack Waltz and his wife disappeared after saying they would come back tomorrow, which means that the sniper attack will definitely happen again in the next 24 hours...
I remembered that Shuichi Akai sent an email asking for information about snipers.
James Blake no longer hesitated and sent the other party the information he had on the sniper case.
