Chapter 608 - Raid
"This is it," Heiji Hattori said, pointing to the station ahead. "As long as you enter the station from here, you can take the train back."
"Well, thanks." Fujiwara nodded, and then led everyone in the direction of the station.
"That person attacked Edogawa them?" Gray Plains and Chiba confirm the situation.
"That's how it should be," Chiba nodded. "At least that's what they said, and what we're seeing is pretty much the same as what they're described, so that's what it should be."
"If their goal is to assassinate both of them, maybe we might as well stay away from them as much as possible." Gray Yuan Ai frowned slightly. "It's safe to return to Edogawa in Tokyo, but they're always in danger until then."
"The target is Heiji Hattori," Chiba shook her head. "I've asked before, and he's only here today, so it's almost certain that he's ready to kill him before he arrives here from Osaka - but it's a little strange, if he's coming from Osaka, why didn't they attack Hattori Heiji in Osaka, and how did he make sure that Hattori Heiji was able to track his whereabouts all the way from Osaka to Kyoto? And how did you successfully complete the tracking without being discovered by Hattori Heiji? ”
"Maybe it's because that guy has a partner?" Ash Yuan replied after a moment's thought. "If there are enough partners in this way, we may be able to successfully lock in the target, but the efficiency itself is still low."
"I think the other party should know that Hattori Heiji will go to that place," Chiba nodded. "After all, the weapon used by the other party is a bow and arrow, this weapon may not be very conspicuous in the deep mountains of Kurama Temple, but in the city, it is definitely a live target, and anyone will look at him more, and it is impossible to complete the concealment. If you use this weapon, the only explanation is probably that the other party knows that Hattori Heiji will go to Kuramaji Temple, and he will prepare an ambush in advance. ”
"So the question is, how did Heiji Hattori come up with such an idea?" Gray Yuan looked at Qianyu, originally wanting to see his reaction, but was a little surprised to find that Qianyu's face showed a confused expression.
"That seems to be ......," Chiba pointed a little hesitantly, pointing not far away. Am I right? ”
……
"......" Hattori walked down the street shrouded in darkness, not knowing what he was thinking. At that moment, on the corner of the street directly in front of him, the man in the rider's suit who had attacked him before appeared ghostly - in his hand, it was the longbow that had been suspected to have been discarded at the site of Kurama Temple.
I don't know if it was the man who made any sound, or if Hattori Heiji was blessed by some god, before firing the bow, Hattori raised his head and finally looked at the man at a distance of about 30 meters - at this distance, the bow and arrow are not a hundred shots against a moving target with the ability to move (the initial speed of the bow and arrow is about 40-60 meters per second, and it can be avoided if you prepare in advance)
Especially if the other party can't even see clearly?
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, hidden in the helmet - it was already dark now, and the scenery that could be seen after passing through the plastic plate of the helmet was very bleak, almost relying entirely on the pale clothes that Heiji was wearing.
But now, Hattori threw his clothes on the ground and completely disappeared into the night.
If he wanted to continue to see clearly, the man would probably have to take off his motorcycle helmet - and without foreseeing this, it meant that the man who probably didn't have a second layer of cover would be forced to expose his appearance to Hattori Heiji, or......
The other party obviously didn't intend to let Hattori Heiji see his appearance, so he even gave up the attempted attack, and turned around with his bow and arrows and ran.
"Don't try to run!" Hattori scolded loudly and chased after him as well.
[Damn...... I didn't ride to get those guys to the station, otherwise it would have been easy to catch up with him in this situation. 】
In order to practice kendo and better be a detective, Hattori Heiji has serious physical exercise, but to his surprise, he is obviously not more equipped than the one in front of him, and it stands to reason that he should run much faster than the man who is struggling with him, which shows that the other party is definitely not an idle person.
Of course, in addition to the fact that there is no big advantage in speed, another point is also quite important - the only reason why the other party did not attack him with a bow and arrow is because it is too dark here, so he can't see clearly.
If you accidentally run to some lighted place while chasing him, you are afraid that you will be very dangerous: no matter how dark your skin and clothes are, it is impossible to hide your body in a certain amount of light. In order to avoid turning the corner and finding that the opponent has fully drawn his bow and is ready to attack him, he must be very careful when turning.
In the midst of such a chase, Hattori Heiji realized that the other party seemed to have introduced himself into a park: this park didn't seem to have a lot of lights from the outside, and his body shouldn't be easily exposed, so it didn't seem too risky to enter.
But in the same way, the opponent's body is also likely to be hidden in the dark, so you must be cautious when chasing the opponent in it.
But no matter how cautious you are, the premise is to keep chasing - this time the other party failed to solve himself through a surprise attack, but will you have such good luck next time?
For his own safety, and the whole case is revealed, he must catch the other party as much as possible this time and send them to the police.
Anyway...... Compared to yourself, it should be the other party who is bothered, right? At least I can see a vague shadow here, but the other person should not be able to see anything after wearing a helmet like that - or is it also part of the other party's plan?
Does the other party wear a helmet or even a night vision device at all, so does it have a very strong combat power in this situation?
Concerned about this, Hattori Heiji slowed down slightly, but almost instantly, the other party suddenly showed incredible agility and disappeared into the suddenly dense jungle.
"Cut!" Hattori cursed secretly, stopped, and observed the surroundings.
There were no violent footsteps, and the other party should still be very close to him, because the other party must not have left here by running.
Just as he was thinking, with the release of the bowstring, a sharp arrow grazed in front of Hattori Heiji.
