Conan’s Corpse Picker

Almost at the same time, Kidd suddenly discovered that there was a laser red dot on his white sleeves.

His pupils suddenly shrank: Sniper rifle... Someone was sniping at him? !

In the blink of an eye, the fatal red dot gradually moved up and landed on his face.

Kidd glanced at that little bit of red from the corner of his eye, and his expression became serious: Oh no, it's hard to avoid in the air, if this continues...

Just as he was thinking about it, there was suddenly a gust of wind sound diagonally above him, approaching quickly.

The overly familiar sound surprised Kidd before he could see the source of the wind clearly - it was the sound caused by the flapping of the foggy dog's wings. Every time he flies freely in the night sky with a newly acquired treasure, the foggy dog ​​will always fall from the sky like this and silently take away the gem... He has been robbed so many times and will never admit his mistake!

Kidd raised his head suddenly, and sure enough he saw a dark shadow approaching quickly - the foggy dog ​​flew from nowhere and was already beside him in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Tengu!" Kidd greeted him in surprise at first, and then his face changed slightly - Kiritengu was flying close to the sniper rifle, and it actually looked like he was trying to block the gun from him. But with the strength of that kind of gun...

"Get out of the way!" Kidd felt that the monster might not understand the power of technology, "That's a sniper..."

boom--!

Gunfire rang out.

Almost at the same time, Wutian Dog suddenly flapped its wings on his back.

The hang glider made a muffled sound of being beaten, and with such a push, the two of them fell down together. The bullet narrowly missed their backs and only scratched a few feathers.

…

In the distance, behind the building.

Shi Kaobing held the smoking gun and was stunned for a moment. His murderous eyes were full of doubts: ...What on earth was that thing in the sky just now?

It actually looks like a person with black wings... No, no, how can a person have wings? ——That must be just a guy wearing black hang gliders.

Shi Kaobing: "..." Kidd is dressed in white and is easily identifiable in the night sky. Moreover, he happens to be wearing a monocle in his right eye. For her, a killer who only shoots in the right eye, it is like having a bullseye, making it extremely easy to aim.

On the other hand, it makes sense that Kidd, who is very conspicuous in the night, has an accomplice who blends into the night and is difficult to aim.

Shi Kaobing thought of the magic show she had seen before, and quickly made a guess in her mind: Kidd must be standing in front of the stage, and his accomplice, dressed in black, was behind the scenes, so what she just saw happened. scene. Others did not wear sniper scopes to observe Kidd, so they did not find another accomplice.

Thinking of this, she snorted with disdain: It turns out that "Kid", the famous thief, was actually two people pretending to be one - unlike her, who struggled alone at a young age, leaving many people with the secret treasure of the Tsar. People turned pale when they heard the name "Shi Kaobing". Sure enough, she is more powerful.

Just as he was thinking about it, Shi Kaobing suddenly felt a shadow flashing beside him.

She was startled, then raised her gun and pointed it at a cat on dark clouds and snow.

The cat looked quite cute, but when it got dark at night, the light in its eyes became particularly eerie. Shi Kaobing felt very uncomfortable and shouted in a low voice: "Go away!"

"..." The cat slowly moved farther away, jumped on the wall, and quickly ran towards the abandoned building in the distance.

Shi Kaobing ignored it. She took a deep breath and raised her gun again - no matter if the black shadow was an accomplice or something else, she would fight it down with Kidd first.

However, when I looked again, it was clear that it hadn't been that long since just now, but there was no one in the sky.

……Ran?

Shi Kaobing frowned displeased: Everything has been really unfavorable these days. She carefully speculated on Kidd's possible escape route and came here early to wait for a sniper attack, but she still allowed Kidd to successfully take away the "Egg of Memory".

Shi Kaobing: "..." Fortunately, that guy seemed to like returning things to their owners, so she still had a chance to get it.

…

Although the area is very desolate, a shot was fired just now, and Shi Kaobing was worried that someone would follow the sound of the gun and come looking for him.

She packed her gun and planned to leave.

But when he was about to leave, a cat in the distance suddenly let out a loud "meow~~". The sound was different from usual, it was extremely loud and the tone was also very long.

Shi Kaobing doesn't like cats, but as a killer's instinct, she must always pay attention to the surrounding environment.

When she heard this strange movement, she immediately looked around, and then her eyes froze.

——Looking along the cat's meow, there is a figure in the window of the building in the distance!

The man was leaning against the window, holding his chin with one hand and lowering his head, as if he was thinking about something with his eyes closed.

If it were during the day, this might be called a "beautiful scenery", but in this gloomy night, the young man's behavior in an abandoned building and looking down at the ruins suddenly became weird.

Shi Kaobing intuitively felt that the outline looked familiar.

She held her breath for a moment, then took out the scope she had just put away and looked at it. Through the not-so-bright moonlight, she could vaguely see the person's appearance.

——It’s actually Jiangxia? !

Why did he suddenly run into an abandoned building and take a nap, with his face facing the direction of her? !

This unexplainable and strange behavior caused a silent chill to rise behind Shi Kaobing's back, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on his arms.

But negative feelings such as "fear" will not affect her actions.

Rather than why Jiang Xia's behavior was so abnormal, Shi Kaobing was more concerned about the fact that he might have seen her shooting into the sky just now!

"..." Shi Kaobing's eyes darkened, staring at Jiang Xia who was hanging his head in the building, and sneered silently.

The last time she was estimating the sniper location in the river and was bumped into by Jiang Xia, she had already wanted to send the detective on his way, but there were too many police around and there was no chance.

Unexpectedly, today, this person would bump into her muzzle again... Hehe, he saw something he shouldn't have seen, but he didn't run away quickly. Instead, he lay on the window and pretended to sleep, showing weakness and kindness in this way - this naive A high school detective, shouldn't he think that she would let him go like those idiots who are blinded by love and tell him the hidden truth later?

Shi Kaobing didn't hesitate much, he raised his hand and fired.

The bullet flew out with a bang, and the scope was deflected for a moment due to the recoil just like before. When she looked over again, there was no one at the window, and she could only vaguely see a splatter of fresh blood on the window frame.

Shi Kaobing breathed a sigh of relief and planned to go over and check the body.

But at this moment, a few flashlight lights suddenly lit up in the alley next to it. It seemed that someone heard the gunfire and came looking for him.

So she didn't stay any longer and left silently along the path she had confirmed in advance - she believed in her own shooting skills, and Jiang Xia wasn't too far away. There was no way he would still be alive after that shot.
