Chapter 856 Mutual Deterrence
"Damn-"
Upon hearing the mercenary leader's words, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but curse under his breath...
He couldn't understand it; were these guys really not afraid of death?
Or perhaps, these terrorists among the red Siamese cats are truly ruthless to others and ruthless to themselves...
You should know, these things are deadly bacteria, killing people silently...
Even if you wear gas masks, it doesn't guarantee you'll be 100% safe.
Kogoro Mouri really couldn't understand it................................
Let alone him, even Amuro Tooru couldn't understand it.............................
He had just taken a close look at the mercenary leader's demeanor when he uttered those words...
It seems the other party really isn't afraid that their cheap teacher will smash open this test tube...
Is it genuine belief in the protective capabilities of this gas mask, or...?
Amuro Tooru didn't know how to explain it..........................
Meanwhile, Conan, the elementary school student who had just escaped from the enemy's clutches and turned back to quietly watch this scene, felt a strange sensation rising within him...
He always felt that something was off...
However, he could only vaguely sense that feeling, but couldn't put it into words....................................
"What, aren't you going to give it a try?"
The mercenary leader looked at Kogoro Mouri provocatively and said to him...................................
Kogoro Mouri gritted his teeth, but still didn't have the courage to smash the test tube containing the killer bacteria...
Now, the other side is all wearing gas masks, while we still have absolutely no protective measures........................................
Leaving aside whether that gas mask on the other side is really that effective...........................
Anyway, we're all definitely going to die.........................
If he really smashed that test tube, then not to mention the bastards from the Red Siamese Cat organization, what about Suzuki Jirokichi and his gang...................................
I'm afraid they won't agree...
Kogoro Mouri's idea is correct.
Now, seeing the situation reverse again, producer Masaki Mizukawa is trembling and about to kneel before the group of armed men from the Red Siamese Cat organization...
He had initially pinned his hopes on Kogoro Mouri and his men, but now it seemed they were no match for this well-organized and well-equipped mercenary group...
In that case, they had no choice but to beg for mercy.............................
Mizukawa Masaki even worried that Kogoro Mouri and his group's actions might anger the other side, potentially leading to them making an example of them, which would be troublesome...
"Don't think you've really got victory in the bag..."
After a brief moment of calm, Kogoro Mouri emerged from the state of being thoroughly outmaneuvered by his opponent...
He raised the pistol he had stolen from the mercenary leader, slowly lifting his hand as if to fire...
"Don't forget, I also have a pistol..."
"My apprentice also has a pistol..."
"You've now put on gas masks, but your head protection is practically zero............................"
"You're welcome to try and see if I can get rid of one or two..."
After Kogoro Mouri finished speaking, Tooru Amuro also stepped forward, declaring that he and his teacher were absolutely on the same side...
In fact, that's exactly what Amuro Tooru thought—
He had a pistol in his hand, with seven bullets still inside...
The number of bullets in the pistol held by his cheap teacher was unknown.
However, with just the two of them and a little money, dealing with these guys wasn't actually that difficult for them anymore.
However, the only difficulty is.................................
There are just too many 'hostages' in this place right now.................................
In short, if a fight were to break out here, everyone except myself and my cheap teacher could be considered hostages of the other side...
Yes, in Amuro Tooru's eyes, even Ran and Conan are hostages...
Conan goes without saying; much of his equipment has been removed, and it's questionable whether he even has any fighting ability left...
While Ran is indeed agile, Amuro Tooru doesn't believe that a high school girl like her could possibly dodge an automatic rifle bullet with her bare hands.
That's something not everyone can do, not even myself...
In Amuro Tooru's memory, perhaps only that one person within the organization could do that............................
It's said that even when facing a hail of bullets, that guy could move with the ease of a stroll; that kind of strength is simply beyond human capabilities...
Getting back to the main point, with so many hostages, it's inevitable that Kogoro Mouri and I will be hampered in our actions...
He couldn't bear to watch a group of civilians be killed by terrorists right before his eyes...
This completely contradicts my original intention in choosing to become a police officer.......................
As for Mr. Mori..........
Presumably, he couldn't possibly remain calm while watching his daughter and that strange kid named Conan be shot to death...
In this way, the two of them were held back by others and were unable to unleash their full potential...
Amuro Tooru sighed inwardly.........................
If it were just him and Kogoro Mouri facing off now, based on his own understanding of his own strength, and the glimpse of Kogoro Mouri's fighting power he had just witnessed from that single shot...
Amuro Tooru believed that they were almost certain to defeat their opponent.
But that won't work now.......................
If only we had two more, oh no, one more expert...............................
With one more person, the outcome would be completely different.................................
"indeed,"
As Amuro Tooru pondered, the mercenary leader opposite him spoke up.
He first nodded, agreeing with Kogoro Mouri's statement with a look of approval.
"Your marksmanship, displayed in a single instant, has earned our respect."
"We also believe you have the ability to take several of us away in an instant..."
"but............................"
The mercenary leader gave a cold smile.
He raised his hand and pointed to where Xiaolan and the others were...
"What about your daughter, and all the others...?"
"I don't believe they're all experts like you..."
"Am I right, Mr. Mori...?"
Hearing the mercenary leader's words, Kogoro Mouri fell silent...................................
It was obvious that the other side had also seen through their weakness—Ran and Conan...........................
They knew perfectly well that the weapons they carried were only for self-defense.
Because of this, unless a real fight breaks out, Kogoro Mouri will never take the initiative to make a move...
Therefore, Kogoro Mouri, wielding a gun and possessing superb marksmanship, suddenly lost much of his intimidating power in the eyes of these people...
Just as Kogoro Mouri remained silent, the mercenary leader spoke again...
"How about this, Mr. Mori,"
He chuckled softly, rubbing his arm, which was still a little sore from Ran's pinch, as he spoke to Kogoro Mouri.
“There is no deep hatred between us. My brothers and I are only here on orders.”
"As long as you don't get involved in this matter, we guarantee your safety and that of your family after it's all done..."
