“Woo-!”

At dawn, the sound of police sirens sounded in the morning light of Tokyo, and Gao Cheng was called to the Metropolitan Police Department in a daze.

In one night, two consecutive cases occurred. In reality, Moriyama Ren, who changed his surname to Anhara after his marriage, was shot and killed at his home. Just when the police were nervous about this, Hunter himself was shot and killed in the early morning.

In the early morning, Hunter was shot and killed in the abandoned building at 1-chome in Agatsuma Bridge, Sumida District, Tokyo. The murderer shot Hunter from the pontoon on the opposite bank through the Sumida River. He left a dice with a point 2 when he left. There are bullets.

Last night, the murderer sniped at the top of Moriyama’s building and left a dice with a point 3.

From 4 to 3 and then to 2 in the first event, it was like a countdown.

“The police found a diary in the room where Hunter was hiding. After the translation, they made a surprising and important discovery…”

While Gao Cheng yawned again and again, Shiratori was reporting on the progress of the investigation, and Chiba posted a series of photos on the whiteboard.

“That guy took my prey again with the intention to provoke. This clearly shows that he is fighting me. I must kill him anyway. I must personally solve the remaining two prey…”

Shiratori read the translated content and judged: “From the content of the diary, I think it can be interpreted as that someone killed Fujiba and Moriyama one step before Hunter, and then won the head-on confrontation with Hunter.”

“The biggest difference between this matchup and the previous one is that the shooting distance is only about 150 meters, which is shorter than the 600 meters in the first time and 550 meters in the second time.”

Chiba continued.

“But we found a bullet that was most likely missed on the inside of the door. At the same time, the pontoon where the murderer was sitting also had bullet marks that were suspected of being fired by mistake. The forensic officers are now searching for evidence nearby.”

“As for the dice and cartridge cases left at the scene, we have not announced the news. Therefore, we can conclude that the three incidents including this duel were done by the same person. Only the case in Seattle three weeks ago may have been handled by Hunter himself. …”

Gao Cheng quietly watched the discussion and did not express his own opinions.

It seems that because of Hunter’s death, everyone has relaxed their attention to the two Hunter’s enemies, but they think that in the order of the dice, one person will be killed.

The police lost their judgment on the next target, and the FBI, including the few people, looked extremely heavy.

Upon seeing this, Gao Cheng raised his hand and said: “From the photo, did the murderer use different caliber bullets in the duel with Hunter?”

“Uh,” Chiba stunned, “Yes, the diameter of the bullet found at the scene is 5.56 mm…”

“I’ll go to the scene to take a look.” Gao Cheng stood up and said.

He felt that it was not a duel. Whether it was death or diary, it was probably Hunter’s plan to disrupt the police investigation, and at the same time let the remaining two prey relax their vigilance and create opportunities for sniping.

Take your own death as a real prelude to revenge…

The next goal must be to destroy one of Hunter’s life’s Waltz and Murphy. According to the prisoner’s actions, it may be Waltz’s subordinate, Bill Murphy.

And the identity of the prisoner…

“That’s right,” Gao Cheng turned to Mumu. “The police department can arrange for personnel to monitor Kevin Yoshino and Scott Green?”

These two people are people that Hunter may contact. Both have a close relationship with Hunter. One is running a military supplies store, the other is a motorcycle shop…

“I’m afraid it won’t work,” Mumu shook his head regretfully. “These two people have been missing since last night, but neither of them has the motive to kill Hunter…”

Gao Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

In complex cases, empirical judgments are sometimes not very reliable, and Mumu and others have obviously fallen into a fixed mindset, so they can’t see the whole picture.

Deductively analyzing from a logical level, the missing two people are not without motivation to kill Hunter, if Hunter actively requested it.

Although it sounds weird, if you consider that Hunter himself may have no revenge, it is not impossible.

Reasoning cannot ignore extreme situations, even if the possibility is minimal, especially when there is insufficient intelligence.

“Wait a minute, Joto,” Chiba followed Gao Cheng out of the meeting room, “The permit has been approved, but you can use the sniper rifle carefully.”

“Of course it’s best if you don’t use it.” Gao Cheng smiled.

It’s been a while since he got sniper skills. This was the first time he had the chance to touch a sniper rifle. Whether he could shoot or not depends on the prisoner.

…

Sumida River, the location of the third sniper.

Gao Cheng took a map and looked at the pontoon, then took out a sniper rifle and took it into the room where Hunter was hiding from the perspective of the prisoner.

“strange……”

From this angle, with the sniper’s ability, there was no reason to miss, and it gave Hunter a chance to fight back.

No matter what the reason is to use the 5.56mm light bullet, the recoil is reduced, and the hit rate should be increased…

“Huh?” Gao Cheng turned his head abruptly and looked at the towering Suzuki Tower. The image in his mind flickered, revealing what he had seen from the Suzuki Tower Observation Deck.

The first and second sniper positions were two buildings at the same height, and they were both in the Asakusa area on the Suzuki Tower side. It seemed that it was not a coincidence, but the prisoner chose it specially.

Gao Cheng looked at the dice points and sniper positions marked on the map.

Of these three incidents, the strangest was the sniper killing of Hunter, which was only 150 meters away, and still shooting from low to high…

There seems to be some key clue to Hunter’s sniper.

“How?” Chiba couldn’t see anything, and could only wait for Gao Cheng.

“Next, go to the university hospital responsible for judicial dissection of Hunter’s body.”

Gao Cheng stared at the map for a while.

Whatever the reason, the prisoner seems to have been sniping in Asakusa, but Waltz and Murphy are not in Tokyo. What will the prisoner do next?

Driving from Chiba, the two soon arrived at the university hospital where Hunter’s body was located.

The bullet had been taken out, and it was indeed 5.56 mm in caliber. Because it was a light bullet, it did not penetrate Hunter’s head, and the remains did not have much damage.

Seeing the skinny remains of Hunter, Gao Cheng finally verified his judgment.

Sure enough, a shot in the head may have sequelae.

“I think we still need to perform pathological dissection, and then check what the head might find.” Gao Cheng suggested.

He had been to the room where Hunter was hiding, and he could see that Hunter had a mortal heart The purpose of checking the head was just to make sure that Hunter could not get revenge himself.

The existence of the shadow sniper is officially clarified.

…

The sniper incident in the Asakusa area had a great impact in Tokyo. As the term “random killing” spread, panic spread quickly with the Sumida River as the center.

When Gao Cheng left the university hospital, he could already see the chaos outside. He felt that he was very dangerous. In the end, even everyone went out with umbrellas to prevent headshots.

“What are the police doing?” Gao Cheng wondered.

Even if this kind of thing does not block the news, it actually allows the “random killing” rumors to spread to this extent.

“Shall we go back to the main office now?” Chiba asked.

“No,” Gao Cheng retracted his gaze from the pedestrian and looked at the towering Suzuki Tower in the distance. “Go there now.”

“BELLTREE Tower?” Chiba asked in surprise, “but isn’t it closed over there?”

“This is not a problem.”

Gao Cheng leaned on the front passenger seat and closed his eyes and took a nap.

Only the sniper can deal with the sniper. This sentence is right or wrong. It is not a face-to-face confrontation. The sniper alone cannot solve the problem.

The role of the sniper is to find out the criminal’s sniper thinking.

This time the prisoner’s selection was quite purposeful, and it is likely that the next selection will still be in Asakusa.

This can only be judged by paying attention to the movements of Waltz and Murphy. It is not that there is no way for the prisoner to force the two to Tokyo.

Perhaps it will eventually become a battle between snipers, because the waltz itself is also a sniper.

If Tokyo Asakusa is the final battle location, the Suzuki Tower is very important. For snipers, the commanding height is very advantageous. Occupying the Suzuki Tower can greatly increase the sniper distance, and at the same time, its own safety can be guaranteed. It’s easier than hitting high from low.
