Lin Che doesn't intend to portray everyone as an enemy; it's better to have a few close friends.
As Nakamura Tetsuya said before, in today's world, you can't accomplish anything great by going it alone.
With the help of a few friends who are still unsure about the game's mechanics, it will be much easier to deal with monsters like Gin who rely on stats and mechanics.
After leaving Lisa's stall, Lin Che headed straight for his target.
Kevin, the top arms dealer in the top black market.
He's an Englishman, but his appearance is anything but gentlemanly; rather, he fits the stereotype of a Russian mafia boss.
This black market is much larger than the one I visited in Tokyo before.
Kevin even owns a three-story building here as a shop, and he's very well-staffed; you have to show you have an appointment to go upstairs.
Thanks to Qian Jiangyi's connections, Lin Che easily went directly to the third floor.
"The person Mr. Qian introduced has finally arrived."
Kevin, still wearing sunglasses on his finger, quickly stood up to greet Lin Che when he entered.
It's quite rare for a business to have this level of enthusiasm for its customers.
Could it be that this old man, Qian Jiangyi, actually has quite a lot of influence?
Lin Che shook hands with the other party. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's get straight to the point. I won't waste your time."
“Okay.” Kevin waved to the person next to him, “Bring everything up.”
Before long, three large spears, each exuding a menacing aura, were placed in front of Lin Che.
Kevin rubbed his large, calloused hands together and chuckled, “The request came rather suddenly, and there wasn’t much time to prepare. This kind of gun doesn’t really have a market in Japan, so we don’t have much stock.”
He casually picked up a very famous AWP bolt-action rifle and fiddled with it. "I brought this gun to Japan many years ago, but I could never find a seller. Back then, I knew that selling these in Japan wouldn't make money, and there was no way to create demand."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Che, "After all, professional assassins don't need to buy guns on the black market, while unprofessional assassins are extremely skilled and like to make their own."
That is indeed the truth.
The AWP is a mainstay weapon manufactured by a British company and used by the British Army, so it's not surprising that it ended up in Kevin's hands.
Apart from this one, which is a proper sniper rifle, the other two are automatic rifles with sights, and they are also quite old models.
Lin Che stopped worrying about it.
"Let me try it out?"
"no problem."
As Lin Che received the AWP, his shoulders slumped instinctively, and a wave of excitement washed over him.
"This gun has an effective range of 600 meters. When the government was bidding for the contract, it was required that the first shot must hit within 600 meters, regardless of the condition inside the barrel."
Kevin patiently gave the introduction.
"Even at a distance of one kilometer, this gun performs quite well."
"I've had this stock for a long time. If you want it, I'll give you all the bullets for free."
[AWP (Standard): Recoil -10%]
It's a pity, it's just ordinary.
However, the quality and performance of the firearms themselves are already sufficient.
Sniper rifles... If you're not at the master level and don't have any special features, the difference isn't that big and can be completely ignored.
"how much is it?"
"Fifty thousand dollars."
"Isn't this premium a bit too much?"
"Brother, this is Japan, not America."
Fine.
For necessities, there's no need to haggle over prices for too long; you can always earn more money later.
Pay and receive the goods.
When Lin Che returned to the streets, he was already carrying his signature guitar case.
It's not that it can't fit in the backpack, but I want to experience what it's like to be an assassin.
It was getting late at this time.
"Chirp—bang bang bang!"
Fireworks were set off?
Lin Che turned his head to look, and the next second the surroundings were plunged into darkness.
Kaito Kid has made his move.
However, it doesn't seem to concern me much.
It's true that Scowbin would run off to snipe Kaito Kid at this time, but Lin Che doesn't know where the other party is now.
Chapter 42 gives Conan some information.
Dawn broke in the blink of an eye.
The commotion from last night has already been reported in the newspapers this morning.
The hotel offers free newspaper delivery.
Lin Che glanced at the contents of the newspaper; it was no different from the original plot.
Kaito Kid detonated a power station, causing a city-wide blackout that has yet to be restored. He has been fiercely criticized by reporters, who say he is utterly lawless and disregards human life, a stark contrast to his previous persona.
In the public's perception, although Phantom Thief Kid breaks the law and commits crimes, he never torments the "poor" or kills.
However, the citywide power outage during last night's operation meant that places like hospitals would also lose power.
Although the hospital is equipped with generators, it is ultimately impossible to achieve seamless operation. Some emergency surgeries performed at night will inevitably be affected, which may endanger the patient's life.
The mainstream opinion has begun to gloat, saying that Kaito Kid deserved to be shot and thrown into the sea by unknown assailants.
Some people tried to shift the blame, saying that it wasn't Phantom Thief Kid himself who did it, but rather that criminals were impersonating him.
Of course, routine insults against the police are also indispensable.
The praise for Conan and Heiji Hattori also occupies a significant portion of the text.
Anyway, public opinion is now in complete chaos.
"It's so lively..."
Lin Che put down the newspaper, quickly washed up, and then went to find Qian Jiangyi.
We went to the hotel first, as usual.
When he arrived, Inui was already dressed and looked ready to check out.
"You've arrived. That damned Phantom Thief Kid is such a nuisance. Old man Suzuki is taking the Egg of Memories back to Tokyo. You're coming with me."
As he spoke, he scanned Lin Che up and down.
"Kevin told me you've already bought what you wanted. Let's talk about reimbursement when we get back to Tokyo; I don't have that much money on me."
Just finished speaking.
Lin Che had already taken out the AWP he had just acquired.
"Click——"
It feels great to pull the bolt.
He appeared to be casually fiddling with the AWP, but the muzzle was actually circling around Gan Jiang's head.
"This gun is great, I really like it."
"Kevin gave me a lot of bullets. Any one of them could blow a person's head off, leaving only fragments. It's a pity I've never seen one. I'd like to try it out."
Qian Jiangyi: "..."
I was sweating profusely.
He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Scobbin will definitely attack again. You can try to find this guy."
Lin Che ran his fingers along the black aluminum alloy gun barrel.
They didn't speak, just remained completely silent.
After a few breaths.
Suddenly, Qian Jiangyi exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, "Ah, I remember now, there's some cash in my briefcase."
He quickly went to the side, opened his briefcase, counted out some banknotes, and handed them to Lin Che.
"Hahaha... I happen to have a total of $100,000 left. Take it all. I need to hire you as my bodyguard for the day."
"But honestly, if you don't protect me, who are you going to collect the final payment from after you kill Scobin?"
Lin Che took the money and counted it. "It used to be like this, but now there are conflicts between me and Scottie."
He raised his eyes and locked them onto Qian Jiangyi. "Even without you, I will still kill Scowbin."
Driven by his business instincts, Qian Jiangyi really wanted to negotiate the price at this moment, since Lin Che was no longer simply serving him.
But after looking at the muzzle of the AWP, he changed his mind.
Scottie alone is troublesome enough, causing endless problems over the years.
Qian Jiangyi changed his mind; he didn't want to suffer the same fate twice.
Although Lin Che is very "expensive", he is also very capable when he takes money.
Anyway, this amount of money is nothing to him. What's wrong with spending money to hire a powerful henchman?
Having received the reimbursement money, Lin Che put the AWP away.
The two took a taxi to the pier and then boarded the ship under the guidance of relevant personnel.
The Suzuki Group's private luxury cruise ship was huge; it took quite a while before we saw Shiro Suzuki again.
Everyone who was supposed to be there was there, except for the Osaka duo who didn't come along. Instead, there was a beautiful lady named "Natsumi Kosaka".
"My great-grandfather's name was Xi Yi. When he was young, he worked as a laborer in a workshop in Faberrugie..."
Outside the large safe, a group of people sat around the Egg of Memories.
Due to limited seating, Qian Jiangyi and his group were unable to secure seats this time and had to stand on the side like Lin Che.
Conan, on the other hand, sat casually on the sofa.
Next, Natsumi Kosaka explained her connection with the Egg of Memories, and she also brought a design drawing of the Egg of Memories.
Lin Che wasn't interested in these things; he would pick his ears after listening for a while.
In order to continue creating the illusion that "I don't know you're there," he deliberately controlled himself and didn't look at Scowbin.
After Natsumi Kosaka gave a presentation, everyone discussed it, and then Conan did a series of actions.
The final conclusion is that there is one more unrecorded egg of memory, which is a "mother-and-child egg" design similar to a Russian nesting doll.
The larger one should be hidden in the old castle of Natsumi Kosaka's family.
Everyone got excited.
Inui couldn't contain himself any longer and hoped that Kousaka Natsumi could take him back to the castle to find the egg. He had already offered a high price, both openly and secretly.
Natsumi Kosaka is currently just a pastry chef, so it's hard for her not to be tempted by prices that often reach hundreds of millions.
Once Qian Jiang spoke, the others naturally wouldn't stand idly by, and the castle tour group was assembled in an instant.
All you have to do now is patiently wait for the boat to dock.
......
deck.
A gentle sea breeze blows, waves surge, and birds leap.
The waves did indeed fly very high, and the seabirds seemed to be leaping and bounding.
