He liked me for many years

It was almost autumn at this time, but the sun was just right.It hit Takahashi Zaki's face obliquely, leaving a few patches of light on the woman's pretty face.

There were many things that couldn't stand thinking deeply, and while pushing aside the turbulent and uneasy crowd, she kept recalling what happened just now in her mind.The orange-haired woman was agile, and when she evaded, she heard a slight collision sound in the box where she held the guitar. The sound was different from ordinary collisions, and it was more like some kind of shock-absorbing substance existed in it.

Probably a sniper rifle.

Then the woman fired the second shot not because there was another target, but because she was provoking the person who angered her.

She found it strange just now. According to the position of the deceased and the sniper point she judged, this line actually requires high sniper skills and high risk. Snipers should have other options. Why should they take risks? ?

Now Takahashi Saki has completely figured it out.

When the orange-haired woman saw her sitting by the window from the scope, she changed her sniper line, preferring to choose a more difficult one, and seeing her startled or even panicked.However, to her disappointment, Takahashi Saki not only did not panic when the bullet passed through her eyes, but was even the fastest person on the scene to rebel, calmly arranging a series of tasks.

Annoyed, the orange-haired woman opened the second wooden barn, that is, the shot that was shot at Takahashi Saki's feet, for the purpose of provocation.

After the cause and effect were figured out, the problem was solved. Zao Ji finally got out of the crowd, and the street layout in front of the department store instantly appeared in his mind. Without hesitation, he ran to the escape route for the orange-haired woman she had calculated.

In order to save time, Zao Ji didn’t take the straight ladder and escalator. For the umpteenth time, he was glad that he didn’t have the habit of Sichuan high-heeled shoes when he was resting, and opened the door of the safe corridor.

Being stranded by the crowd for a short period of time, you must be quick to catch up with the other party.There are 12 steps on a platform. She held on to the handrail of the stairs with one hand, jumped to the middle of the stairs in one step, and then jumped directly to the next floor. By analogy, it took less than 2 minutes to rush from the seventh floor to the first floor.

"Huh—" Takahashi Zaoji took a breath, and immediately stood up without hesitation.

Hattori Heiji, who was concentrating on checking the identity of the deceased, suddenly turned his head and looked around the crowd for a while, but he didn't see Takahashi Saki who was supposed to be here.

Where did you go--?

The mobile phone he was carrying vibrated faintly. He took it out and saw that it was Takahashi who had just added his contact information.

[Check the surveillance in the store to see if a woman with short orange hair and a guitar entered 40 minutes before the incident. 】

"What? There's no beginning and no end." Hattori Heiji said, but he guessed that it must be related to this sniper incident. After all, the guitar box and the current scene can easily remind people of a sniper's stampede.

He stood up, stopped a person who looked like a store manager, glanced down, and confirmed his identity through the nameplate, "Is the store manager Yamashita—"

Zao Ji turned the second street according to his judgment, and finally saw a faint orange in front of him.

The best situation happened, and the orange-haired woman did not drive away, but chose to walk, as Takahashi Early Ji had expected.

The previous encounter at the entrance of the department store should be her stepping on the spot. She didn't go to the underground garage to show that she didn't drive a car, and her fluffy hair showed that she didn't drive a motorcycle or other means of transportation, so her hair didn't get crushed.However, this is not certain. According to the orange-haired woman's flamboyant personality, the worst possibility is that she rode a motorcycle but did not wear a safety helmet in accordance with the traffic rules.

Takahashi Zaji slowed down his pace.

Now that the other party has been locked, all we need to do now is to wait for the reply from the Kansai high school student detective who is as famous as Kudo Shinichi - Hattori Heiji.

The phone in her pants vibrated, and Hattori Heiji's reply was as she expected.

Succinctly: "Yes."

Early Ji's eyes darkened for a moment, then everything would be clear, as she judged just now, the sniper should have locked on the woman in front of her.

Knowing that the opponent was carrying a sniper rifle, Zao Ji couldn't expose himself in advance before knowing whether the opponent had other weapons on him.She clicked on the camera function of her mobile phone and followed far behind, but all the shots were taken from the back. She had to find a way to shoot the front, and then submitted it to the police for verification.

Zao Ji thought about it, and most of the small roads in Japan can be connected. She stopped following her steps, opened the map on her mobile phone, clicked on it with her finger, and decisively turned back to the small road she just passed.

According to the map, the orange-haired woman will pass by the convenience store not far ahead.

Get there early.

While completing the task, Chianti was not that happy. While walking towards the assembly point, she made a bluetooth phone call and complained to the organization: "Why is the pick-up place so far away this time? Can't we send a car to wait downstairs? "

Not knowing what the person over there said, Chianti's frowning eyebrows were slightly loosened, and he said, "Ah, I said, I met a nasty woman today, and I haven't seen such a woman for a long time—" The voice came suddenly Stopped, and then stopped Chianti's footsteps.

She paused for a moment, and made a positive face-to-face with Takahashi Saki who was coming out of the convenience store with a can of coffee. She seemed to be taking a selfie, with the coffee on her face and the phone facing her face, posing in various poses as she walked. There are a few "clicks" from time to time.

...Why is this woman here? !

The other party obviously didn't expect them to meet again so soon, and put down the phone after reacting for a while.

Chianti has never been a brainpower in the organization. At this time, he was surprised to see the woman who was supposed to be in the dessert shop appearing here. The thought of something contrary to harmony flashed by, but he didn't investigate it carefully.

The wooden warehouse just now was obviously very relieved, but now she saw Takahashi Saki again, but she didn't feel the discomfort before, she twitched the corner of her mouth mockingly, and passed her by without saying anything.

Therefore, he ignored the confident expression on the brunette woman's face when the two passed by.

The smell of gunpowder——

But these points alone are not enough. All the evidence collected in the early period is time-sensitive and speculative. If the woman is allowed to leave now, even if the police find the orange-haired woman later, she will have a hundred reasons to deny what happened today.

Early Ji's eyes rested on the woman's coat jacket.

She wants it.

The author has something to say:

I’m back, I haven’t written for a long time and my speed is getting slower——

The details are all nonsense, don't take it seriously, don't pay attention.

ps: The previous article 38-41 has been overhauled, and the plot has been changed.I don't think it's connected. I have to re-watch it.

Happy new year to you all
