The helicopter had been called by Irish at around ten o'clock when he received a request from the Metropolitan Police Department to order him to return to the team - he had already realized that something was wrong at the time, so he had prepared in advance - it was already eleven forty o'clock, and the helicopter arrived at this point in time basically within the expected time frame that Irish had judged based on his knowledge of the speed of the organization.

Picking up the desert eagle in the distance and putting it in his pocket with the pistol and blowgun in his hand, and then picking up Conan, who was already completely restrained, with one hand, Irish made his way to the outer passage of the upper part of Tokyo Tower. In the sky not far away, the figure of a helicopter was already looming.

"Is this how it is?" Irish frowned slightly—the lights were still on now that Tokyo Tower was closed, and the helicopter would be exposing them all to anyone who could see it.

Just as Irish was finishing his soliloquy, all the lights in the entire Tokyo Tower suddenly dimmed, and although the building with lights next to it barely illuminated the base of the tower, the upper part of the tower was completely hidden in the darkness.

"Looks like they're not stupid yet," Irish said as he tossed Conan down the stairs - a warning sign that alerted visitors to the need to hold on to the handrails when going up and down the stairs, so Conan was completely hidden behind the sign, and it was impossible to see Conan from the outside. "I don't know how much time you've wasted in order to get rid of you kid, and you'd better tell the whole thing about how that bastard Gin was derelict and didn't kill you, so that you might be able to get a good death - if the boss takes a fancy to your abilities, you might even survive."

Just about 10 meters from Tokyo Tower, the helicopter hovered in the air, and the rear seat door was slowly opening - the newly promoted head of the computer department who had been coerced by Hoshino Kaede appeared next to the door.

"Hurry up and pull me up!" Irish was not surprised by his appearance, but was relieved - in order to avoid Gin's eyes and ears and prevent him from doing anything, he deliberately found Hoshino Kaede, who was not dealing with Gin, and it was Hoshino Kaede who arranged for Mr. Hoshino, the head of the computer department, to be in charge of the flight.

"Wait a minute," the head of the computer department stopped him. "Did you get the USB flash drive?"

"Got it." With that, Irish took the USB stick from his bosom and showed it to the group leader.

"I can't see clearly," he said, and the group leader pulled out a flashlight and shone it at Irish. "You take the USB flash drive forward a little more."

The flashlight ...... obviously had a lot of power, and the light was so bright that even Irish could only block the light with his injured hand, and then use his other hand to reach forward with the USB flash drive without seeing ahead.

Time freezes in this instant.

Without warning, Irish's head exploded - the splattering pattern of fragmented flesh was not an internal explosion pattern that dispersed outward, but a collective scatter in the same direction.

This is a headshot shot from a large-caliber sniper rifle!

“！！！” There was a palpable look of surprise on the team leader's face. "What's going on?"

Conan, meanwhile, had a look of realization, and rushed out from behind the warning sign.

Of course, he didn't want to die, his purpose was to get something.

As Irish's head exploded, the USB flash drive in his hand arced through the air and fell down the stairs - Conan only needed to take two or three steps forward to reach the location of the USB flash drive, and then hold the organization's talisman in his hand.

At this moment, a gunshot rang out in Conan's ears. But this was not the shot of the large-caliber sniper rifle just now, and one of the pieces of evidence was that Conan had witnessed the shooting again.

Right in front of it, a string of sparks suddenly burst out from the USB flash drive that was flying in the air, and the USB flash drive itself also shattered into two relatively large pieces and countless powdery wreckage.

The second piece of evidence is that the gunfire came from the direction of the helicopter.

In the helicopter, the leader of the computer team turned his head and looked at the man who shot behind him.

"The file has been destroyed," Gin said coldly, lowering the sniper rifle against his waist. "Force all light sources to be turned off, raise the height, and prepare to withdraw."

"But who fired that shot just now?" The team leader asked. "If you don't dispose of it, you might get into trouble?"

But the pilot of the helicopter apparently listened to Gin, and the helicopter's engines were at full power and were ready for evacuation as fast as possible.

"It's because we might get into trouble, so we have to pull it up as soon as possible." Beside Gin, the voice of explanation rang out. "Gin and I only locked on to the enemy's angle with that voice just now, but we couldn't lock on to the enemy's specific position, which means that if we don't retreat, we will only be beaten in vain, and our helicopter can't carry this. In addition, if the police are coming, it will be very troublesome if they bite and then send a helicopter to follow them. ”

Kaede Hoshino, who is holding a sniper rifle in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, said.

However, what everyone present did not know was that just at the top of the special lookout on their side, an aerial photography drone was lying quietly, and the drone's camera was aimed at the helicopter that had entered optical stealth.

…………

At the top of a medium-height building, about 300 meters from Tokyo Tower, a young girl holds a remote control in her hand and wears a headset with a microphone on a small blanket spread on the roof.

"Locked onto the Order's helicopter," Hotaru said into the microphone. "Location: Tokyo Tower 190, distance 10."

"In addition, the FBI people have arrived, and the specific direction is roughly 260-300 Tokyo Tower, but it is inferred that the other party is equipped with a large-caliber sniper rifle with a flame suppressor or silencer, and the distance is more than 200 meters."

Suddenly, Hotaru discovers that her drone's camera suddenly starts to adjust the angle of view without being controlled, and the drone itself begins to rise upwards. "Huh?"

She tries to regain control of the camera and drone with the remote control, only to find that while the remote control can still control the camera and the drone itself, it has an equally effective control ability that interferes with her control behavior at all times. "There's a problem with the drone on my side, it seems to be ...... Out of control? ”

Immediately afterward, the drone's camera, which was constantly spinning, shifted to the direction of the ascending helicopter for the last time in complete confusion.

Gin rests one hand on the wide-open helicopter door and holds the sniper rifle with the other, the long narrow barrel of which is only a black hole in the camera's field of view - Gin has captured the drone.

"Boom!" The camera was smashed to pieces by a single shot from a large-caliber sniper rifle.

…………

Chiba sat quietly in a blind spot on the large observation deck, far from the elevator door—his body still twitching slightly, and his breathing was clearly a little disordered.

[The remote control signal suppression is over, good luck to you.] I'm in poor health right now and ready to retreat. This is a message from Chiba Tachibana to Kaede Hoshino with an auxiliary unit.

[Stay safe. ] - Kaede Hoshino
