Chapter 216 "Sniping"

The tracking device has a radius of up to 20 kilometers, so Conan isn't worried about losing track.
He sits in the back seat, looking at the map and thinking about what the man he just encountered could be up to.
Although he only had one eye, he remembered the person's appearance features clearly.
The person looked to be in his thirties, wearing glasses, and appeared to be a normal working person in terms of appearance, even somewhat rigid in temperament.
He wouldn't have suspected him if he hadn't been able to determine that he was the one talking in the bathroom.
From his brief words, it seems that he is not a member of the Black Organization; rather, he has some kind of cooperative relationship with Gin and Vodka.
In recalling Xiaolan's encounter with Gin, Gin and his associates were in the midst of some kind of transaction with someone...
That man was very likely the object of Gin and his associates' deal.
It's possible that Gin and his associates had some kind of criminal evidence against him, using it as leverage to obtain some kind of benefit. After the deal was completed, Gin turned his back on him...
It is also possible that he helped Quincao with something and once the task was completed, he was no longer valuable and was kicked out...
It is very likely that the contents of his suitcase are also dangerous goods. Considering the other party's statement of "if you're going to die, at least drag someone down with you", there may be explosives inside.
This hazardous material could cause a large number of casualties if it explodes!
However, at present, these are only his speculations.
He could also call the police to stop him and obtain information about the black organization.
However, Kudo Shinichi is currently missing and even if he uses Kudo Shinichi's identity to call Detective Megure, there is no evidence that the man in question is suspicious.
Moreover, reporting to the police is not a good way to deal with the matter concerning that organization.
"Let's take it one step at a time...make sure we know where he's headed..."
The man being followed by Conan is named Ichiro Inada, a manager at a top electronics company.
A while ago, someone approached him and claimed that they had evidence of him accepting kickbacks and selling company information. In exchange for this evidence, the person requested that he steal core business information from the company.
He didn't trust the other party, but they had enough information to get him fired, face imprisonment and pay a large compensation.
He was afraid and struggled for a long time, finally having to agree to their terms.
They were not just simply threatening him, saying that they would help him get promoted to the position of general manager once they obtained the information.
With some unknown expectation in mind, he stole the company's core business information and gave it to someone named "Qinjiu".
He thought that the other party would help him get promoted to general manager, but just as he asked this question, the other party kicked him directly.
That indifferent attitude made him feel like a disgusting worm.
Even a word was too much trouble for the other party to bother saying to him.
Of course, they didn't give him the evidence of selling company information.
In addition to selling company information, he also added the charge of stealing core business information from the company.
He is facing a huge lawsuit.
It can be said that he has been driven to a dead end.
This time, he used the excuse of only providing half of the information from last time and once again made an appointment to trade with the man named Gin.
For this reason, he prepared an accidental death insurance for himself, and prepared a large amount of explosives. As long as the liquor appeared, he would ignite the explosives and end his life with the liquor.
He drove around in circles in Tokyo in order to alleviate the huge pressure in his heart.
Their agreed time was after dark, but it isn't dark yet.
Conan frowned upon seeing the two people circling on the same road.
Are they being discovered?
But shouldn't being discovered mean trying to get rid of them? Why go in circles?
Or is there some meaning to this?
Conan instructed Professor Agasa to park at the side of the road and wait for the next move from the other side.
"Conan, what exactly is that person up to?" Dr. Agasa was also puzzled.
"Should we report to the police and have them detain him temporarily?"
"No, we can't. We have no evidence and this is a great opportunity to find Chianti!"
Although finding Chianti may not do much, what he's most lacking in is intelligence. If we could find out what the driver of Chianti's car looks like and what the license plate is, that would be a huge gain!
Moreover, he could have waited until the man finished drinking his whiskey and then called the police to have him arrested. Either way, the outcome would have been the same.
The sun slowly set, and the sky gradually darkened.
The red dot on the tracker finally changed direction, and Conan's heart trembled as he quickly caught up.
Iida Ichiro finally arrived at a park.
He came to the agreed location and waited for Kudo Shinichi to arrive under the third big tree on the right side of the 13th bench.
Just as he looked at his watch and looked around for someone, he suddenly caught sight of a reflection in the distance.
He adjusted his glasses and was about to see what it was. He heard a sharp sound of breaking wind, and then a moment later a sudden pain struck his heart. He didn't even have time to react or even know what had happened. He lost consciousness and became a lifeless body.
Conan saw the streak of light in the sky and instantly realized what had happened. He took out his telescope and looked in the direction the light had come from.
He saw a figure with a sniper rifle, wearing a hat to conceal their face. After firing, the figure quickly disappeared onto the rooftop.
"Dr. Agasa, go to that building!" he quickly pointed in a direction.
"Gin didn't show up, the man was shot by a sniper."
"Conan now regrets it, he never expected the Black Organization to be so straightforward in their actions."
明明是要见面的对象，结果二话不说直接就将人狙杀了，完全不考虑后果。
他应该早点报警的，如果报警了的话，这个男人就不会死了……
Damn it!
He held the map tightly, his nails digging into his palm, the intense anger almost incinerating him.
This was the first time he had encountered such a ruthless and antisocial organization!
Originally, he thought they should at least meet in person, but the person representing the Cognac never showed up, and the man was killed directly!
It is unknown whether the man's abnormality was discovered or whether the Cognac had already suspected him, or for other reasons...
He only knew that because of his mistake, that man died...
"Brother, the man is dead." Vodka sat in the car not far away, turning his head to look at the side of Gin.
Jinju was wearing headphones and there was a voice coming from the other end.
"Target confirmed dead." This was a somewhat hoarse male voice, Cohen's.
Base Security was a little unhappy, "We have to mobilize three of us for such a small role. It's really making a mountain out of a molehill..."
"Unfortunately, he wasn't within my line of sight," the Scottish man holstered his gun with a hint of disappointment.
Ignoring their complaints, Gin spoke coldly, "Let's go."
