Stopped by Vodka, Yuu Hoshimiya simply ceased his fire.
To those uninterested in them, guns are only novel at the very beginning, and after that, they are just tools.
It was completely different from the fist-to-flesh feeling of close-quarters combat, where the more one fights, the more exhilarated one becomes.
Once accustomed to it, there was only dullness.
Currently, Yuu was only slightly interested in sniper rifles, which he hadn't touched yet; he had briefly handled rifles and submachine guns on the training island, and they were much the same as pistols.
Leaving the underground training ground, Yuu and Vodka parted ways at the exit.
Vodka went straight back to the bar lounge to find Gin and continue being his personal sidekick.
"Big Brother, your eye for talent is truly excellent!"
As soon as he entered the bar, Vodka began to flatter him.
The next moment, seeing Gin's cold gaze, he quickly and perceptively explained, "That Hoshimiya kid's shooting talent is really formidable..."
Gin already knew this from the training reports, but hearing Vodka's exaggerated description, a rare smile appeared on his face.
Truly the man Gin had set his sights on... cough, chosen; he was worth cultivating!
Unfortunately, according to the investigation, the kid lacked nothing except money and had no particular hobbies.
Now that he was being kept by rich women, he didn't even lack money, making it difficult for Gin to find a way to bridge the gap between them.
While Gin was thinking, Yuu had already reached the research hall.
Having emptied one magazine, he still had the five full magazines of ammunition he had just collected, which was more than enough, so there was no need to replenish.
After coming out of the training ground, he walked directly through the laboratory hall, intending to leave the base.
He hadn't encountered Shiho Miyano when he arrived, but he ran into her as he was leaving.
She was still in her white lab coat, wearing a high-collared sleeveless knit sweater underneath; her looks and figure were still top-tier, making Yuu's eyes light up.
Shiho Miyano also saw Yuu; her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she carried her coffee and turned in another direction.
Yuu was Gin's subordinate and very likely his successor, so she wouldn't give him a pleasant face.
Coupled with the bad impression from their first meeting, she didn't even bother to pretend; in terms of status in the organization, she was currently Yuu's superior.
Yuu saw the girl's petty behavior and found it amusing, yet he couldn't help but feel speechless.
The prejudice in people's hearts is indeed a mountain.
Here he was thinking about saving her sister, yet the other party was actually giving him the cold shoulder.
Wait until he saved Akemi Miyano; he would definitely make Shiho Miyano kneel and lick him to vent his anger!
Oh, she should be called Ai Haibara by then.
Making a legal loli kneel and lick for him...
There was a bit of guilt, but why was there even more excitement?
Was he truly a pervert?
No, no, he was a gentleman! Becoming like this must be due to the influence of this degenerate country, Japan!
Environment truly has a great influence on a person; even after guarding his chastity for over twenty years, Yuu's speed in developing "wings" after breaking his vow would make a "Sea King" feel inferior.
After Yuu began developing in middle school, he had encountered women who fell for his looks more than once, but he had always held his moral line.
Of course, it was also because he had never met a top-tier rich woman who was both beautiful and wealthy like Eri Kisaki, or a virgin heiress like Sonoko Suzuki.
Those women who craved his body and were rich enough weren't good-looking, and those who looked decent weren't rich enough.
Not wanting to suffer himself, nor wanting his "little brother" to suffer, Yuu naturally had to pretend that women would only slow down his learning speed.
It wasn't entirely a pretense; compared to his previous life, he indeed worked harder on his studies in this one.
Having lived two lives, Yuu clearly understood the importance of making money.
Coming from an orphan background with no parents or connections, the only way to change his destiny was through education.
If he studied well, got into a good school, found a good job, and had money, would he really lack women?
After a brief moment of nostalgia, Yuu withdrew his gaze from the girl's beautifully curved buttocks and left the organization base with lingering interest.
At their next meeting, such a good figure would be gone, and she would just be a little loli with no chest or butt.
Shiho Miyano had no idea what Yuu was thinking; after she could no longer feel the burning gaze behind her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As a mixed-race beauty, she received plenty of attention from males; whenever she went shopping with her sister, the beautiful pair was the most dazzling scenery on the street.
But no man's gaze was as aggressive as Yuu's; most didn't even dare to make eye contact with the sisters.
Despite hating cold-blooded killers like Yuu, she surprisingly didn't feel much disgust toward his intense gaze, but rather a sense of satisfaction and pride.
"A woman dolls herself up for the one who admires her"—the weight of this ancient Chinese proverb was still rising.
However, this likely had something to do with Yuu's charm.
Though her heart hated him, her body's instinct was continuously generating favor for Yuu.
Yuu left the organization base, looked up at the sky that had turned gloomy at some point, and began to ponder how to save Akemi Miyano covertly.
This mission was now his sole responsibility, so saving Akemi Miyano was simple.
But he also had to make both Gin and Conan believe that Akemi Miyano was dead...
It was a bit tricky...
After considering for a long time, Yuu couldn't think of a particularly great method, so he finally decided to resolve Akemi Miyano's two accomplices first and meet with the person involved, Akemi Miyano, in the process.
With Akemi Miyano's cooperation, it would be much easier to pull off the deception.
If the other party didn't cooperate...
There would be almost no possibility of success.
Yuu took out the phone issued by the organization and dialed the number from the mission data, using the excuse of splitting the spoils to invite the gambling security guard to an alley with no surveillance.
Before the meeting, Yuu changed into the organization's uniform black attire, though Gin wore a trench coat and Vodka a suit, he chose sportswear and a peaked cap.
The cap hid his face, and the sportswear masked his physique while being convenient for action—perfect!
Then he drove a car with fake plates from the organization base toward the agreed location.
Arriving at the spot, he rolled down the window, aimed at a vital point, and pulled the trigger gently, resolving it with incredible ease.
After dealing with the gambling security guard, Yuu drove toward the apartment of the remaining accomplice, the racing driver.
This one was a bit more troublesome because to frame her, he had to enter the interior; while killing the person without leaving a trace, he also had to buy a lipstick of the same brand Masami Hirota used.
The model of the lipstick was in the data, but going to buy it himself would be too suspicious.
After thinking, Yuu used the organization's phone to send a message to Hitomi Kujo, asking her to help buy it while also telling her to hide her identity as much as possible.
This small matter was very simple for the trained Hitomi Kujo and was completed quickly.
She placed the item in the agreed spot; after Yuu picked it up and avoided the surveillance, he successfully arrived at the apartment door of the racing driver from the robber trio.
Everything had been smooth so far, but Yuu was not careless.
The incident with Eri Kisaki had taught him a profound lesson, and this incident had clearly already shown differences.
Originally, it should have been Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan going to the bank to deposit money when they met Akemi Miyano disguised as Masami Hirota.
Then Conan, the overly suspicious brat, saw Akemi Miyano constantly checking her watch and began to observe her secretly.
During that time, Conan happened to stumble upon the crime scene, and Ran and Kogoro Mouri were also drawn into it.
Finally, having been suspicious beforehand, after the robbery occurred, he successfully uncovered the truth through a series of legal or illegal means.
That was how it was supposed to be, but these past few days Ran had been in Izu accompanying Eri Kisaki and only returned yesterday afternoon, so she definitely didn't participate in this event.
The timeline had already shifted, but he didn't know if Conan and Kogoro Mouri were still involved in this incident as before.
Yuu actually didn't want Conan to get involved; he was in full charge of this mission, and Gin didn't value Akemi Miyano's life or death, so it was actually quite easy to fool him.
But Conan's side was different; even without knowing Akemi Miyano's true identity, just the fact that she was a robber would make Conan pursue her relentlessly.
Yuu sometimes really found Conan annoying; he was truly a fanatic.
If it weren't for the fact that killing him would do more harm than good, Yuu would have really wanted to take action.
