"Woo—!"

At dawn, sirens sounded in the morning light of Tokyo, and Gao Cheng was called to the Metropolitan Police Department in a daze.

In one night, two cases happened in succession. In reality, Moriyama Jin, who changed his surname to Yasuhara after his marriage, was shot dead in front of his house. Just when the police were nervous about this, Hunter himself was shot dead in the early morning.

In the early morning and in the abandoned building of Azumabashi 1-chome in Sumida District, Tokyo, Hunter was shot dead with a MK11 in his hand. The murderer shot at Hunter from a floating tank on the opposite bank across the Sumida River, leaving behind a dice with a score of 2. There are shell casings.

And the top of the building where the murderer killed Moriyama Jin last night left a dice with a point of 3.

From 4 to 3 to 2 of the first incident, it was like doing a countdown.

"The police found a diary in the room where Hunter was hiding, and after translation, they made an amazing discovery..."

When Gao Cheng yawned again and again, Shiratori and the others were reporting the progress of the investigation, and Chiba posted a series of photos on the whiteboard.

"That guy snatched my prey again, intending to provoke him. This is clearly a challenge to me. He will kill him no matter what. I must deal with the remaining two prey with my own hands..."

Shiratori read the translation and judged: "From the contents of the diary, I think it can be interpreted as that someone killed Fujinami and Moriyama before Hunter, and won the subsequent confrontation with Hunter."

"The biggest difference between this duel and the previous one is that the shooting distance is only about 150 meters, which is shorter than the 600 meters for the first time and 550 meters for the second time."

Chiba continued.

"However, we found a bullet on the inside of the door that was most likely missed. At the same time, the floating tank where the murderer was sitting also had bullet marks that were suspected to have been shot by mistake. Forensic personnel are now searching for evidence nearby."

"With regard to the dice and shell casings left at the scene, we have not released information, so it can be concluded that the three incidents including this duel were committed by the same person, and only the case in Seattle three weeks ago may have been done by Hunter himself. ..."

Gao Cheng quietly watched the discussion and did not express his opinion.

It seems that because of Hunter's death, everyone has relaxed their attention to the two Hunter's enemies, but they just think that according to the order of the dice, one person will be killed.

The police lost their judgment on the next target, and the FBI and several people seemed extremely heavy.

Seeing this, Gao Cheng raised his hand and said, "Judging from the photos, did the murderer use different caliber bullets in the confrontation with Hunter?"

"Uh," Qianye said in a daze, "Yes, the caliber of the bullet found at the scene is 5.56mm..."

"I'll go and have a look at the scene." Gao Cheng got up and said.

He felt that it wasn't a confrontation. Whether it was death or the diary, it was very likely that it was Hunter's plan to disrupt the police investigation, and at the same time let the remaining two prey relax their vigilance and create opportunities for sniping.

With his own death as the true prelude to revenge...

The next target must be one of Waltz and Murphy who ruined Hunter's life. Judging from the actions of the prisoner, it may end up being Waltz's subordinate, Bill Murphy.

And the identity of the criminal...

"By the way," Gao Cheng turned to Mu Mu and said, "Police, can you arrange someone to monitor Kevin Yoshino and Scott Green?"

These two people are people that Hunter may contact, and both have a close relationship with Hunter. One runs a military supplies store, and the other runs a motorcycle shop...

"I'm afraid it won't work," Mu Mu shook his head regretfully, "These two people have been missing since last night, but neither of them had the motive to kill Hunter..."

Gao Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

In complex cases, empirical judgments are sometimes unreliable, and Mu Mu and others have obviously fallen into a mindset, so they cannot see the whole picture.

Analyzing it logically and deductively, the two missing people did not have the motive to kill Hunter, if Hunter had requested it on his own initiative.

Although it may sound strange,

But if it is considered that Hunter himself may not be able to take revenge, it is not impossible.

Reasoning cannot ignore extreme cases, even remote ones, especially when intelligence is insufficient.

"Wait a minute, Kido," Chiba followed Gao Cheng to chase out of the conference room, "The license has been approved, but you should be careful with the sniper rifle."

"Of course it's best not to use it." Gao Cheng said with a smile.

It's been a while since he got the sniper skills, and this is the first time he has had a chance to touch a sniper rifle. Whether he can shoot or not depends on the prisoner.

...

Sumida River, the location of the third sniper attack.

Gao Cheng took a map to check beside the floating tank, then took out a sniper rifle and brought it into the prisoner's perspective to aim at the room where Hunter was hiding.

"strangeness……"

From this angle, with the sniper's ability, there was no reason to miss the shot, and it gave Hunter a chance to fight back.

No matter what the reason is to use 5.56mm light bullets, the recoil is reduced, and the hit rate should increase...

"Huh?" Gao Cheng suddenly turned his head and looked at the towering Suzuki Tower. The picture flickered in his mind, and the picture he saw from the observation deck of the Suzuki Tower emerged.

The first time and the second sniping location were two buildings at the same height, and they were both in the Asakusa area on the side of the Suzuki Tower. It seems that it was not a coincidence, but the prisoner specially selected it.

Gao Cheng looked at the dice points and sniper positions marked on the map.

Among the three incidents, the strangest one is the sniper killing of Hunter, the distance is only 150 meters, and the shooting is still from low to high...

There seems to be some key clue to Hunter's sniping.

"How is it?" Chiba couldn't see anything and could only wait for Gao Cheng.

"Next to the University Hospital where the forensic autopsy was performed on Hunter's body."

Gao Cheng stared at the map for a while.

No matter what the reason is, the prisoner seems to have decided to carry out the sniping in Asakusa, but Waltz and Murphy are not in Tokyo. What will the prisoner do next?

Driving from Chiba, the two soon arrived at the University Hospital where Hunter's body was located.

The bullet had been taken out, and it was indeed a 5.56 mm caliber. Because it was a light bullet, it did not penetrate Hunter's head, and the body was not damaged much.

Seeing the skinny and boneless body of Hunter, Gao Cheng finally verified his judgment.

Back then, being shot in the head might have left sequelae.

"I think pathological anatomy is still needed to check what the head may find." Gao Cheng suggested.

He had already been to the room where Hunter was hiding, and he could see that Hunter was determined to die. The purpose of checking the head was only to make sure that Hunter could not avenge himself.

Officially clarify the existence of Shadow Sniper.

...

The sniping incident in the Asakusa area had a great impact on Tokyo. With the spread of "random killings", panic spread rapidly centered on the Sumida River.

When Gao Cheng left the University Hospital, he could already see the chaos outside. Everyone felt that he was in danger. In the end, everyone even used umbrellas to prevent headshots when they went out.

"What are the police doing?" Gao Cheng wondered.

This kind of thing is fine if the news is not blocked, but the rumor of "random killing" has spread to this extent.

"Shall we go back to the main hall now?" Chiba asked.

"No," Gao Cheng looked away from the pedestrians and looked at the towering Suzuki Tower in the distance, "Go there now."

"BELLTREE Tower?" Qianye asked in surprise, "But isn't that closed for business?"

"That's not a problem."

Gao Cheng leaned against the passenger seat and closed his eyes for a nap.

Only snipers can deal with snipers. This sentence is right or wrong, and it's not a face-to-face confrontation. Snipers alone can't solve the problem.

The role of the sniper is to find out the sniper thinking of the prisoner.

The selection of the prisoners this time is quite purposeful, and it is very likely that the next selection will still be in the Asakusa area.

This point can be judged only by paying attention to the movements of Waltz and Murphy. It is not impossible for the prisoner to force the two to Tokyo.

Maybe it will end up being a battle between snipers, because Waltz is a sniper himself.

If Asakusa, Tokyo is the final battle location, the Suzuki Tower is quite critical. For snipers, the commanding heights are very beneficial. Occupying the Suzuki Tower can greatly increase the sniper distance, and at the same time, its own safety can also be guaranteed. From high to low forever Easier than hitting high from low.
