Conan: Another Famous Detective

After listening to Officer Megu's narration, James pondered for a few seconds and asked, "So, do the police have any suspicion about the person who is suspected of being Hunter's accomplice?"

"Yes!" Officer Memu nodded: "According to the list of possible contacts provided by the FBI, we contacted those three people immediately after arresting Hunter."

"Counsel Spencer answered the phone normally and we met with him in his office, where he claimed to have no knowledge of tonight's events and was not involved in any way."

"Scott Green was also contacted. We found him at his home. He also denied participating in tonight's sniper attack. We did not find any external injuries on his body. He should not be the accomplice who escaped."

"The last one is Kevin Yoshino. We haven't been able to contact Yoshino so far, and we haven't found anyone in his shop or home. He is undoubtedly the most suspect."

"We have now monitored all his stores and residences. The arrest warrant for Yoshino has also been posted online, and the paper warrant is being printed at full speed."

When James heard this, he showed a hint of appreciation: "The police's actions are indeed very sharp and decisive. Thank you all for your hard work for Hunter being brought to justice so quickly."

"Where! This is our responsibility, and..." Officer Megure paused and continued; "The reason why our operation was so smooth was thanks to the help of some unknown people."

"Unknown person?" James said slightly surprised.

"Yes." Officer Memu examined James's expression and further explained:

"According to Qianye's report, when he was preparing to escort Mr. Anyuan out, a bullet suddenly hit the doorstep. Qianye was shocked to realize that someone was sniping, and he and An Yuanren immediately retreated to the house to hide."

"But afterwards, after the forensics personnel studied the bullet, they finally concluded that the bullet was not the same as the bullet found in the [BELL TREE Tower]. In addition..."

He turned to look at Officer Chiba: "Chiba, please tell me about the situation at that time."

"Yes!" Officer Chiba stood up: "Mr. Anyuan and I were about to get in the car when we suddenly heard the sound of something hitting the ground. Then I saw a bullet hole about one step away, and quickly took An Yuan with him. Mr. Yuan hid inside the house.”

"One step away?" James confirmed with a slight movement in his expression.

"Yes! It's about this distance!" Officer Chiba nodded.

Kamel looked puzzled: "Strange, with Hunter's sniper ability shown at the [BELL TREE Tower], it's impossible for his shot to miss to this extent, right?"

Judy nodded: "Indeed, and Officer Megure also said just now that the bullets are different from those in the [BELL TREE Tower]."

"I think that bullet was probably not for sniping, but more like a reminder." James said solemnly.

"Reminder?" Judy and Kamel were startled.

"Yes, use that bullet to remind Police Officer Chiba that someone is going to snipe Mr. Anyuan and let them take shelter temporarily," James said.

Judy looked thoughtful: "So, besides Hunter's group, were there any other snipers lurking at that time?"

"That's what we also speculated." Officer Megure said: "In addition, in a building that is still under construction about 1,300 meters away from the department store, some citizens said they heard a loud noise from the roof around eight o'clock. .”

"We sent people to check on the roof of the building and indeed found some signs that someone had just arrived. Combined with the fact that another of Hunter's accomplices was injured, a sniper on the roof of the construction building at that time targeted Hunter and the others. Sniping was conducted.”

"Are you kidding me?" Camel suddenly looked in disbelief: "Sniping Hunter from 1,300 meters away?"

"It was hard for us to believe it at first," Officer Megure replied, "What's even more unbelievable is that the building under construction is shorter than the department store..."

"This means that the difficulty of sniping has further increased." James took over.

Officer Megure nodded and said, "So, I want to confirm that the sniper has nothing to do with the FBI, right?"

"We are completely unaware of this." James immediately denied: "From the bottom up, accurately hitting the target 1,300 meters away, this kind of strength, even if you look at the world, it is definitely top-notch."

"To be honest, our FBI did have an ace sniper who could do this, but... he died in the line of duty not long ago."

When Judy and Kamel heard this, their expressions dimmed.

Officer Megu nodded slightly: "It seems that there are indeed unknown persons involved in this matter, and there is more than one person."

"After the sniper finished sniping Hunter, his companions rushed into the rooftop."

"At that time, Hunter and the others exchanged fire with the intruders, leaving behind a large number of shell casings and warheads. However, judging from the situation at the scene, Hunter and the others failed to cause any hindrance to the intruders at all."

"The intruder successfully seized the MK11 rifle, which was suspected to be the murder weapon, and placed it harmlessly at the elevator door near the rooftop. It was seen by the police officers who arrived one after another."

"Coincidentally, almost at the same time that Chiba received the [reminder], the police received the call."

"It seems that their actions were premeditated!" James immediately made a judgment.

Everyone in the meeting nodded in agreement.

Officer Memu has already said this. If they still can't come to this conclusion, then they can just resign.

Officer Megure continued: "Although those unknown people helped us, they also held dangerous weapons such as sniper rifles. It is really unsettling for such a group of guys to hide in the dark."

"I don't think we need to worry too much." Officer Sato said: "Although their origins are unknown and they still have firearms in their hands, at least their actions tonight did not show any harm to public safety."

"On the contrary, they not only saved Mr. Anyuan and Chiba from danger, but also notified the police as soon as possible. They also seized the most threatening rifle and wounded Hunter's accomplices, leaving the colleagues who arrived with almost no chance. Encounter any danger?"

"I think, regardless of the possession of firearms, their position is the same as ours."

Upon hearing this, Officer Megure glanced at Officer Sato with a slightly complicated expression: "I hope your guess is correct."

"Ignoring who those unknown people are, there is another thing that concerns me." James said: "Hunter actually carried out a sniper attack just when Mr. Anyuan was about to transfer. Isn't it too much of a coincidence?"

"Coincidence?" Officer Memu was startled.

"Yes." James nodded: "I would like to ask, where is the blood stain found at the scene, and where is it facing?"
