Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

Chapter 134 Life and Death Struggle (1)

a few minutes ago.

Shirakawa Qiu stood in front of the abandoned building and looked up at the building in front of him.

The system is still worried: "Host, are you sure they are here?"

Baichuan Qiu said with certainty: "They must be here."

According to investigation, this area has been abandoned for many years, and its location is very clever, with a river behind it, small hills and forests on the side, and a highway leading to the city and suburbs in front.

This location is not only the only way for Kano Takahashi to go home, but also a place where it is very easy to observe the situation at Kano Takahashi's home.

The kidnappers chose this location for two reasons: first, to facilitate their escape, and second, to facilitate their observation of the police's movements. As long as a police car appeared near Kano Takakazu's home, the kidnappers would be able to gauge the police's progress from their movements.

From any point of view, this is very suitable for the kidnappers' psychology.

Baichuan Qiu raised his head and saw a few worn sheets fluttering in the wind outside a window on the tenth floor.

"It seems that it should be that floor."

Baichuan Qiu murmured and walked upstairs.

The building had been abandoned for many years, with garbage and dust everywhere. Shirakawa Qiu looked around and found the stairs leading upstairs where the waste was piled up.

Baichuanqiu walked around the construction waste, but suddenly heard a woman's heart-wrenching cry.

The building was very empty, and the crying sound lingered among the floors, making it difficult to tell where the sound came from.

The system exclaimed: "Oh no, host, Natalie is in danger!"

Baichuan Qiu's expression suddenly turned cold and he rushed upstairs.

He climbed up several floors in one breath. The crying became more and more frightening. Finally, the white-haired young man suddenly stopped.

He squatted down and gently blew away the dust on the steps, and then an extremely thin transparent fishing line appeared in front of him.

System: "It's a trap!"

Baichuan Qiu's fingers lightly tapped the fishing line, and then he pulled the fishing line under the puzzled gaze of the system.

"Ding--"

Suddenly, a bell rang somewhere upstairs.

The sound was not loud, but it was particularly crisp in the empty abandoned building, and it went all the way up and reached the ears of some people.

Suddenly, the building, from which faint sobbing sounds could still be heard, suddenly became quiet.

The system was very nervous: "Host, why did you deliberately trigger the trap he set?"

Wouldn’t this let the other party know that the host has come in?

Baichuan Qiu stood up and slowly took out his pistol: "I just want to tell him that I'm here."

This way, the other party will shift their attention to him instead of continuing to target an unarmed pregnant woman.

The system was worried: "Host, you must be careful!"

As soon as it finished speaking, it saw its host climb to the tenth floor in one breath.

The tenth floor, the floor where the bed sheets were fluttering just now.

Unlike the rustling sounds just now, this floor suddenly became extremely quiet.

Only the cold wind was blowing outside the empty, unfinished house.

The sunset outside the window has set, and only the last bit of sunlight falls on the ground.

Baichuan Qiu lowered his eyes and looked at the messy footprints on the ground. A cold look flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his foot and walked in one direction.

At the same time, he slowly raised the gun in his hand.

The young man didn't walk very fast, and even his breathing didn't make any sound.

"Woo-"

Suddenly, his ears moved slightly and he heard a woman sobbing.

Baichuan Qiu turned his gaze and walked in one direction with a gun in hand.

What caught my eye was Natalie sitting on a chair, her body hanging in the air, swaying slightly.

This was originally the location where the floor-to-ceiling windows were installed, but now the glass windows have long been removed, leaving only an empty floor-to-ceiling window frame. Natalie's chair was lifted up and could fall over at any time!

Seeing Baichuan Qiu's appearance, Natalie quickly shook her head with fear in her eyes.

“Ding—alarm!”

There was a sharp sound of wind behind him, and Baichuan Qiu dodged, but saw a fast-moving rope heading towards Natalie in his peripheral vision.

Almost in an instant, Baichuan Qiu understood the purpose of the rope. He shot the man, then pounced on him and grabbed the rope tightly.

"Woo-"

The woman over there moaned, and the angle of her body suddenly increased, and she could fall over at any time.

The rope in Baichuan Qiu's hand was the last straw that held her back.

The shot did not hit the man. On the contrary, the dagger in the man's hand was swung out very quickly. Baichuan Qiu pulled the rope hard to prevent Natalie from falling further, while dodging backwards, pointing the gun at the man.

"Ding—alarm—"

The system beeped again. Baichuan Qiu continued to retreat, his upper body leaning back, barely avoiding the other dagger wielded by the man.

Because his body was pulled by the rope, the dodging movement was not big, and the dagger quickly cut through the soft skin on his neck, leaving a bleeding wound.

Baichuan Qiu's pupils flashed scarlet, and he wanted to fight back, but he saw a malicious smile on the man's face, and then the man's dagger went towards the rope in his hand -

This guy wants to cut the rope and let Natalie fall!

Baichuan Qiu took a deep breath, pulled the rope hard and fell to the side, while decisively shooting at Natalie.

The bullet grazed Natalie's waist and penetrated the frame of the chair behind her. Then the chair, which was already unable to bear the weight, began to shake and fall apart.

Natalie's toes finally touched the ground.

Shirakawa Qiu continued to pull the rope back, intending to pull Natalie back to a safe area.

But how could the man let him go? He handled the two-handed dagger very smoothly. With just a backhand movement, he scratched Baichuan Qiu's arm that was pulling the rope.

Baichuan Qiu was only focused on dodging, and the pistol in his hand was restrained by the man, but he did not give up, but continued to shoot at Natalie.

Natalie knew that Shirakawa Qiu wanted to save her, but she couldn't help but tremble when facing the bullets, and then she felt the rope on her body loosen a little.

——The shot just now cut the rope on her body!

Natalie's eyes were filled with surprise, but she also knew that now was not the time to hesitate. She immediately shook off the restraints on her body, pulled back the rope that controlled the tilt angle of her chair, and slowly pulled it back until all four legs of the chair fell back to the ground.

Baichuan Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

But it's not easy for him either.

The man noticed that Shirakawa Qiu's attention was all on Natalie, so he put his finger into his trouser pocket and took out a handful of flour.

"Host, be careful!"

Baichuan Qiu raised his hands in time to cover his face and eyes, but was kicked in the stomach by the man.

Behind him was a pile of empty plastic bottles, and when Baichuanqiu fell on them, there was a crackling sound on the ground.

The system angrily scolded the man: "Ah, why do bad people always use such shady tricks? It's so disgusting!"

Baichuan Qiu just sighed: "It's still too weak."

System: "Host! I'll give you a detective buff!"

Bai Chuanqiu raised his hand: "No need."

This situation cannot be used.

The man stepped on his wrist, and the powerful force made Baichuan Qiu loosen his hand holding the gun.

The white-haired young man looked up at the man in front of him, his face still expressionless: "Kano Zhiming? As expected of a soldier king from Central Asia."

Kano Tomoaki, Kano Takakazu's older brother, went to Central and Eastern Europe together as mercenaries. Later, his younger brother was injured, which destroyed his foundation and changed his temperament. Kano Tomoaki, who loved his younger brother, gave up his mercenary job and returned to Sakura with his younger brother.

He just didn't expect that his brother would harm others because of his injuries, and he would obediently help his brother commit all kinds of evil deeds, even harming the victims.

Ha ha.

Shirakawa Akane had no comment on the brothers' disgusting behavior and just wanted to say "damn it", but he also had to admit that Kano Tomoaki was very strong.

After all, he is a mercenary who has been on the battlefield and killed people. Even among the mercenaries in Central and Eastern Europe, Kano Zhiming's ability is among the best. What's more, he retired not because of injury, but because of his younger brother.

——In other words, Kano Tomoaki is currently in his prime!
