Chapter 39 - Train (2)

A bullet passed through Kaito Kid's check through the hang glider, nearly making him fall down. He looked at the hole on his hang glider and then behind him, a small figure in black was pointing a sniper rifle in his direction.

Chills crept out on his back.

And a second bullet came to him again.

Bang!

This time, it scratched past his other cheek as if mocking him and warning him.

Kaito Kid really wanted to cry.

The wind blew at this time and Kaito Kid screamed as he stabilized his hang glider. When he turned around again, the black clothes man had disappeared.

"Conan! What kind of enemy did you actually ask me to face?" Kaito Kid's expression collapsed.

He stabilized his hang glider, barely able to maintain the speed and height.

He had to call Conan and let that brat know that he's under a big debt!

He nearly died twice, damn it!

Amamiya Yuki went back to her room and put the sniper rifle away. She took off her mask and put it inside her bag along with the rope. After that, she turned her jacket inside out to the blue colour.

Once she was done, Amamiya Yuki went out to the restroom she was previously in and washed her face, making sure that the water stained her clothes before she wiped her face.

There might be some marking on the roof of the train.

After all, she did disturb the dust there.

But there wouldn't be any biological trace or anything like that.

Knock! Knock!

"Miss, are you still inside?"

"Ah, I'm sorry. I'll come out soon."

Amamiya Yuki came out and apologized for taking such a long time. She saw the train had stopped and walked out. Conan was on the phone with Kaito Kid while Vermouth had just finished calling Gin.

So it's perfect.

She took out her phone and made a call to Vermouth.

Vermouth, realizing that her plan failed, looked at the phone number with an ugly expression. But she still answered it.

"What is it?"

"Vermouth, the person inside the bombed train is Kaito Kid wearing Sherry's face. I shot him but eh, shooting on a moving train isn't that easy. I missed and only injured him. Do you need help finding where the real one is hiding?"

Vermouth gripped the phone tightly and knew that Sake found out the truth.

Sherry is still alive.

But she had just reported that Sherry is dead. So if Sake reported to Gin…

"Honey, shall we meet up?"

"Arara, is it really necessary, Vermouth? Are you trying to hide something?" Sake chuckled and there was a hint of coldness in her voice. "Your performance is superb but I found more interesting things in this train. Entertain me well and I'll hide everything under the moon."

Vermouth was silent and at this time, Bourbon had come closer. He saw Vermouth's ugly face and didn't understand what was happening.

"I understand, Honey. Could you consider stopping drinking the martini for a while?" Vermouth asked slowly.

"You better give me a good reason to."

"I'll give you that access."

Sake's eyes brightened. "In that case, it's a pleasure to work with you, Vermouth."

A pleasure to work with her?

Vermouth took a deep breath and then nodded at Bourbon who said that he wanted to investigate something about Akai Shuichi's death again.

She agreed but her mind was still wandering around.

Ah… after Bourbon, it's now Sake.

When did her acting become so bad?

Vermouth sighed and then walked away, not realizing that Conan's face was also exceptionally dark as if he had heard a horror story.

"What did you say?" Conan asked through the phone, his voice was trembling.

"I said, I almost died twice today, you b*stard! Who the hell did you offend? I didn't sign up for this. Gun, explosive, and then sniper on top of the train? What the hell? If I hadn't hidden my hang glider and the wind moved my hang glider along the wind, my head would have been blown off!"

Sniper?

Conan's expression turned into that of a horror face.

He looked at his mother and wanted to call her out.

There is the third member of the organization in the train. One whom they hadn't found, yet managed to get the truth of the case.

Yukiko, who was originally in a happy mood, saw that Shinichi's expression looked so scary and she wanted to call him.

"Conan?"

"Professor Agasa, we have to go back." Conan's expression was deeply terrified.

Something was going on wrongly and he had to gather with the others. 

Everything should have been going on well, but this just had to happen…

Damn it!

[A sniper on the roof of the train? Who the hell is crazy enough to do something like that?]

[And the production team didn't even show that person's face up close. We can only see black clothing from Kaito Kid's perspective.]

[AHH, who is it?]

[Will Ai be in danger again?]

[Damn, a third member of the organization and we have no idea who it is.]

[Will there be a clue… like three people's choice again?]

[There must be!]

[Ahh, Vermouth is on a call with the other party, but the voice is unclear.]

[Still, how did that person do it? Sniping at such places…]

[This is science.]

[Pfft! I think Newton is crying on this part. I don't understand how he managed to withstand the wind in a sitting position.]

[The angle. A sniper support position is basically forming a triangle with your legs and arms to support the sniper rifle. It's not exactly a closed down position, so if you let wind pass, theoretically it's still possible….]

[... Forget it, there are too many unscientific things here.]

[Pfft! I'm more curious about what they would do in the future with this change. Ai wouldn't still be scared, right?]

[Vermouth made a promise to Yukiko, though.]

[AHH, I want to see what will happen now!]

Kudo Residence.

Conan basically told Akai Shuichi and Kudo Yukiko about what Kaito Kid told him.

"In other words, there's another member of the organization who knows that Ai is still alive?" Yukiko immediately looked worried. "Then wouldn't our efforts be for naught?"

She could be sure Sharon will keep her words.

But if it was an unknown member of the organization, no one could say for sure.

"I don't know." Conan messed up his hair irritably. 

If this person reported that Ai is still alive, then it would be dangerous. He didn't even know the codename or who this person might be.

It was terrible.

"Mr. Akai, do you know who it is? His sniping is very accurate and Kid told me that his cheeks are hit, one left and one right," Conan asked urgently.

….

[While it's a serious matter, I want to laugh when I thought about how Kaito will have two injuries on his cheek]

[Pfft, left and right, symmetrical!]

[Hahaha! He might not dare to come out again before it's healed]

[That's true~]
