Guns and Coffee in the World of Science

Chapter 102 "Scoopin" Reconnection

After Gin and Vodka disappeared through the café's entrance, Huibara Ai finally emerged from Chen Shuo's arms, her face pale and clearly terrified. Her heartbeat was still pounding as she replayed the previous scene, feeling a sense of bewilderment. However, a strange expression crossed her face, as she thought to herself: What a coincidence! I was just discussing Moroboshi Dai with Chen Shuo, and now I'm being tasked with assassinating him? And it was from my old employer.

Chen Shuo seemed to notice her turmoil. He smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "Why? Are you still afraid of that organization?"

"No...it's just that the shadow of the past is not so easy to erase." Huiyuan Ai's voice trembled a little: "Don't you think it's a coincidence? We were just talking about Moroboshi Dai's matter, and they...I...I think this is too unreasonable."

"It's not surprising, actually." Chen Shuo shook his head, his eyes reflecting a hint of thought. "That organization isn't entirely utterly useless. They couldn't have failed to notice the FBI's arrival in Tokyo." He paused, a smile playing on his face. "But I'm a bit surprised they'd actually ask me for help."

"What big move do you think they are going to make?" There was a hint of worry in Haibara Ai's eyes, and a feeling of uneasiness rose in her heart.

"It's very possible, but it has nothing to do with us." Chen Shuo's tone was casual as he slowly opened the file bag, the documents inside neatly arranged. As he turned to the first page, he was greeted by a clear and cold photo of Akai Shuichi.

"Is this him?" Haibara Ai's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.

"What? You haven't seen him?" Chen Shuo nodded and flipped through the information: "It seems that this guy is indeed something."

Huiyuan Ai shook her head: "When I was in the organization, I spent most of my time in the laboratory and never met him."

Chen Shuo nodded, put away the information, put Huiyuan Ai on the ground and touched her hair: "Okay, go back to sleep, leave the rest to me, he will disappear soon."

After saying that, Chen Shuo left the cafe and prepared to go home. Xiaolan was still waiting for him.

Looking at Chen Shuo's leaving figure, Huiyuan Ai had a complicated expression. Then she sighed and went back to her room to sleep. This kind of thing should be left to the professionals. She was just an elementary school student. Why think so much? Sleep!

When Chen Shuo returned home and opened the door, he saw Xiaolan sitting on the sofa in the living room, her eyelids drooping. Her little head was shaking slightly, but she stubbornly refused to close her eyes, clearly waiting for him to return. Seeing this, Chen Shuo felt a warm feeling in his heart, and a smile inevitably curled up at the corner of his mouth.

He walked over gently, sat next to Mao Lilan, and whispered: "Xiaolan, why don't you go to bed?"

Mao Lilan was startled, and when she looked up and saw that it was Chen Shuo, a warm smile instantly spread across her face. She smelled his familiar scent, smiled with relief, and adjusted her posture, lying comfortably in Chen Shuo's arms, curled up like a kitten.

"You're finally back." Her voice was soft, with a hint of coquettishness.

"Well, I'll go check on Huimei." Chen Shuo replied softly, stroking her back gently to comfort her. "Huimei has been acting a little strange lately."

Mao Lilan was slightly stunned, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. "What's wrong with her? Did something happen?"

"It's just...something is bothering her." Chen Shuo told Xiaolan the situation briefly and mentioned Huihara Megumi's confusion and struggle.

After hearing this, Mao Lilan frowned angrily: "That Moroboshi Dai is really a scumbag! It's too much to let Sister Huimei go through such a thing!"

"I've already comforted her, she'll be fine." Chen Shuo said gently, trying to reassure Xiaolan.

"Really? These FBI guys are so annoying. I used to think this department was cool." There was anger and injustice in Mouri Ran's voice, as if she was indignant about what happened to Emi.

"Haha." Chen Shuo chuckled. "You have to know that the world's largest terrorist organization is the United States. And how could there be any good people in such a violent American organization..."

"Indeed!" Mao Lilan nodded and leaned back into Chen Shuo's arms, feeling the sense of security in him and gradually calming down. At this moment, her eyes caught sight of the file bag on the coffee table, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes: "What is this?"

"Open it and you'll know!" Chen Shuo didn't care at all. He smiled slightly and motioned her to open it.

Mao Lilan opened the file bag and muttered, "So mysterious..."

As she lay down to unpack it, she was surprised to see some of the small items inside fall to the ground due to gravity, making a crisp sound. She was suddenly startled and quickly sat up, looking at the ground in panic: "Oh no!"

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem!" Chen Shuo said as he wanted to lend a hand to help.

Mao Lilan hurried down to the ground and picked up the things that fell on the ground. Her pupils shrank: "Gold coins! And five of them?"

She was so familiar with it that it couldn't be more familiar. This was something she played with every day, so she naturally knew what it represented.

"Who, who is worth five gold coins?" she asked curiously, a hint of doubt flashing through her mind.

"Look for yourself. This is a big fish!" Chen Shuo shrugged and said half-jokingly.

While putting the gold coins on the coffee table, Mao Lilan looked down at the information in the file bag. Suddenly, her face changed drastically and she looked at Chen Shuo in shock: "Isn't this Huimei's ex-boyfriend you just mentioned?" There was disbelief in her voice and her fingers trembled slightly.

"Yes." Chen Shuo nodded, a heavy look in his eyes. "Gin also came to the cafe just now and asked me to deal with this guy."

Mao Lilan's heart tightened, and many images of Huiyuan Huimei and this man flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but whispered: "He... Is he really that dangerous?"

"Whether it's dangerous or not depends on the situation." Chen Shuo sighed slightly. "However, since Gin is willing to give five gold coins, it means this matter is indeed not simple. Judging from the information, he is indeed an expert."

Mao Lilan squeezed Chen Shuo's hand, worry in her eyes: "Will there be any problems? The information shows that this Akai Shuichi is really amazing."

"Don't worry, your man is more powerful!" Chen Shuo gently touched Mao Lilan's hair, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said softly.

Mao Lilan was comforted by this intimate gesture, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually subsided: "Okay, you must be careful." Although she was still a little worried, she trusted Chen Shuo more.

"It's okay, I'm very familiar with the FBI..." Chen Shuo hugged Mao Li Ran, looked at the photo of Akai Shuichi in the file, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The next day, Shuichi Akai was leisurely fishing in a small boat on a calm river. The sun shone on the water, making it sparkle. It was so quiet that only the sound of the water could be heard. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and a large pool of blood splattered on his forehead. He fell into the river with a splash.

Then, the scene suddenly darkened and the lights came on. It turned out that all this was just a simulated shooting.

"Beautiful! It's amazing!" Suzuki Sonoko sat in her seat in the room, clapping excitedly, her voice full of admiration for the sniper.

Mao Lilan looked at the audience with envy, her eyes fixed on a slender figure lying on the shooting platform. "I really wish I could have such a great shooting talent like her," she thought to herself, her eyes gleaming with longing.

The figure stood up, a confident smile on her face. It was Pu Siqinglan. Chen Shuo introduced her to Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan. Mao Lilan held no grudge against her former rivals, instead feeling delighted to befriend such formidable figures.

Pu Siqinglan also gradually opened up to Mao Lilan's friendly personality and became good friends with her. Suzuki Sonoko didn't care about Pu Siqinglan's coveting of her family's treasures at all, and kept asking Pu Siqinglan for shooting skills, and the relationship between the two became very close.

This time, Chen Shuo specially brought them to watch Pu Siqinglan's simulated shooting training to let them see what preparations are needed to assassinate someone. They will definitely not be allowed to take part in actual combat.

Since Pu Siqinglan recovered, she has been doing restorative training under the guidance of Chen Shuo, and the results are remarkable. Her condition is getting better and better. Chen Shuo is impressed by her shooting ability.

Back then, she was able to accurately hit Kaito Kid's right eye with just a Walther PPK with a silencer, even as he was moving at high speed in the sky. This is something not many people can do. Although she ultimately missed, the shattered monocle was a tangible proof of her success. What still shocks people is how Kaito Kid actually avoided it.

"548.64 meters." Chen Shuo stood in front of the screen and nodded slightly. Looking at Pu Siqinglan's score, he saw that she had already reached the passing line. However...

"Not enough!" His voice was flat but firm. "The data shows that Akai Shuichi can accurately hit the target within 700 yards. A master of this level must have something to hide. A mere 600 yards will definitely attract his attention. You need to redouble your efforts."

"Huh?" Yuanzi walked over and heard Chen Shuo's words, her eyes widening. "600 yards! I can't even see him without a telescope. Can he really tell that he's being targeted?"

Chen Shuo nodded, his eyes serious. "This kind of expert is more sensitive to being spied on than you can imagine, let alone being targeted. If it's only 600 yards, he'll react the moment the scope locks on him. To snipe him from a distance, you need at least 1000 yards. At this distance, I can feel myself being targeted. You have to overestimate your opponent as much as possible to be absolutely sure!"

"Ah?" The three women were shocked by Chen Shuo's perception, which could almost be considered a superpower, and looked at each other in surprise.

Seeing the three ladies with their mouths open, Chen Shuo couldn't help but smile and patted Pu Siqinglan on the shoulder: "Come on! I will give you the best equipment. To celebrate your recovery, let's try to kill an FBI ace first. But don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. If Akai Shuichi was so easy to kill, he would have died ten thousand times already. I will cover you."

"Thank you, boss!" Pu Siqinglan bowed slightly to Chen Shuo. Her original idea of ​​following Chen Shuo out of helplessness had long since disappeared. Now she felt that being able to work under such a person was simply amazing!
