Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: Thank You (Part 1)

"Tsk, missed?"

Baishi Hui looked through the scope, seeing no blood spray out, realizing Chianti wasn't hit, feeling quite regretful.

He knew his current situation was like his brain understood, but his hands and feet weren't quite there yet.

Plenty of theoretical experience, but lacking practical experience!

He still needed to make time to train more.

After thinking about this, he changed position and aimed at Korn.

The other party had already run away.

Seeing this, Baishi Hui didn't linger there either and quickly left.

The black Porsche 356A was driving away from Toro Tropical Land.

The situation inside the car was unusually silent.

None of the four members of the Liquor Organization had expected such a turn of events in this operation.

"I was almost shot dead... Ah! It hurts so much! I feel like my bones are broken!" As Vodka spoke, he touched the spot where he was shot in the chest, immediately wincing in pain.

"Only a few shots? What are you yelling about?" Chianti, in the passenger seat, glanced at Vodka contemptuously and taunted, "Gin didn't make a sound despite being hit by so many bullets!"

Vodka couldn't retort. He turned his head to look at the grim-faced Gin and asked with concern, "Brother, are you alright?"

Gin didn't speak, but his eyes flashed with killing intent.

"You're too naive, Gin doesn't want to talk to you." Chianti sneered, "You're howling after a few shots, he got hit by over a dozen, how could he be alright?"

She turned her head to look at Gin and clicked her tongue, "But Gin, you're also impressive, none of those many shots hit your vital points."

"But you'll probably have to lie in bed for a month or two to recover!!"

"..." Gin didn't speak. He also felt very lucky this time.

Recalling it carefully now, he also felt a chill down his spine, feeling like he had walked along the edge of death.

Submachine gun, shotgun, grenades, plus a sniper rifle...

The other party actually brought so many guys.

He almost didn't make it back!

The most crucial thing was that Gin didn't see the other party's appearance from beginning to end!

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed. He didn't know where the Ni-san Society found such a person.

"But what's the use of that guy being so good at fighting?" Seeing that the others weren't speaking, Chianti didn't take it to heart and muttered to herself, "That old geezer was taken care of by me... I'm afraid he won't have an easy time explaining things when he goes back?"

"Wasted so much effort, only to end up doing nothing! Hahahaha!!"

Although Chianti felt she had suffered a setback, the thought that the other party wasn't doing well either made her burst into laughter.

These words did boost morale quite a bit.

Vodka said even more fiercely, "Bastard, how dare they play tricks?"

"Brother! We must show them a little color!"

"Otherwise, they'll really think our Organization is made of mud!"

Saying this, he looked at Gin.

"We'll talk about it when we get back," Gin said coldly. He wasn't planning on letting this matter slide!

If he didn't get proper revenge for this, how would these people see him?

If morale is low, the team will be hard to lead.

As for Kudo Shinichi, the people present didn't care about this high schooler at all.

Inside the hospital ward.

Shinichi woke up.

He looked at the ceiling blankly, and then gradually remembered what had happened.

Right, he went to secretly watch someone's transaction, and then he was ambushed.

Immediately after, a gunfight broke out...

Then he fainted, and he didn't know what happened after that.

At this moment, he heard Baishi Hui's voice: "Shinichi is awake."

Shinichi turned his head to look and saw Ran and Sonoko stand up from their chairs and walk over.

"Shinichi, are you alright?" Ran's eyes were full of worry.

"You guy, didn't you say you were going to the restroom? Why did you run off to the scene again?" Sonoko said exasperatedly, "When we found out you were also at the scene, it really scared us!"

"It was like a battlefield over there, bullets everywhere, and dead people!" Ran's face turned a bit pale as she spoke the latter part.

"Do you know that when the police found you, there was a dense row of bullets around you?" Sonoko scolded angrily, which was rare for her, "You were almost shot dead!!"

"..."

Looking at Ran and Sonoko who were scolding him, Shinichi guiltily lowered his head, admitted his mistake, and said, "I'm sorry, this was my fault. I shouldn't have gone there secretly."

He also understood that his reckless actions had almost killed him.

Thinking about it carefully, he also felt quite scared afterwards!

Shinichi swore solemnly, "I swear, I will never do such a risky thing again!!"

Seeing his expression was so sincere, Ran and Sonoko believed his words and stopped pursuing the matter.

Baishi Hui, who was nearby, just smiled and didn't take Shinichi's words seriously at all.

"Um... I want to talk to Shirashi-kun alone." Shinichi said sheepishly.

"Okay, I'll go buy you a bottle of water." Ran nodded obediently and got up, leaving the ward.

"You guys chat slowly, I'll go with Ran!" Sonoko said and also left the ward with Ran.

After the door closed, only Baishi Hui and Shinichi were left in the ward.

Shinichi hadn't figured out how to start speaking yet when Baishi Hui said, "You just swore to them, I don't believe a single word!"

"Uh... do you have so little faith in me?" Shinichi felt underestimated.

"It's not that I don't have faith in you, it's that I know you too well." Baishi Hui looked at Shinichi and said, "Detectives are like sharks. Once they smell blood, they instinctively pounce."

"No one can stop them, including themselves."

"This time is the best example!"

"..." Shinichi opened his mouth but couldn't refute.

He changed the topic and said, "Baishi, you... seem to smell of gunpowder? What's going on?"

Baishi Hui shrugged and said, "I fired too many shots, it's unavoidable to have a bit of gunpowder smell on me!"

"Are you admitting that you were the one who fired the shots?" Shinichi was stunned, not expecting the other party to admit it so readily.

"What is there for me not to admit?" Baishi Hui said confidently, "If it weren't for me, you would have been knocked dead long ago."

"This... that's also true." Shinichi couldn't refute. If the other party hadn't shown up, he would be lying in a cold morgue right now.

"Say thank you," Baishi Hui reminded him.

"Tha... thank you." Shinichi quickly expressed his gratitude.

He paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Shirashi-kun, why were you... there at that time? And with a gun."

"You don't know?" Baishi Hui didn't answer but asked back.

"I don't know. After I was ambushed, I fainted not long after." Shinichi shook his head and explained his situation.

"You don't know?" Baishi Hui felt relieved as soon as he heard that.

Now he could improvise freely.
