Chapter 0035: The First Encounter with the Black Organization
Oki Saddle clapped his hands. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. As expected, this place is full of hidden talents and clever people. I should have listened to your advice—killed him and left. It would've been much simpler."
Inspector Megure's expression immediately turned serious. His right hand moved subtly to rest on his gun's grip. "Oki-san, I must ask for your cooperation."
Oki Saddle's face maintained a smile. "Relax. I did kill that guy. Now then…" Suddenly, his chest-length samurai robe tore apart, and he tossed the Chidori blade into the air.
Standing nearby, Kuroba Ichi caught the Chidori blade with one hand while holding small, bead-like objects between the fingers of his other hand. He threw them to the ground, instantly creating a dense cloud of smoke. A youthful voice emerged from within the haze: "I told you before—you should've just sold me this sword!"
The unexpected chaos threw everyone into a panic. Suddenly, a woman's piercing scream echoed through the air.
"Ah!!!"
Kogoro Mouri's pupils constricted. That scream—it was Yukiko's! Damn it! He sprang forward like a leopard.
"Let go of me! Let go!"
The roar of an engine sounded. Rushing outside the gymnasium, Kogoro saw a speeding Porsche with a terrified Yukiko in the passenger seat. At the wheel, a blond-haired man in black wore a wicked grin.
"Fuck!"
Eri Kisaki's voice called out, "Mouri! Save Yukiko!"
Kogoro leapt into a police car, threw out the officer inside, and activated the system. "V-chan, give me the driving skill. Now!"
V-chan responded, [8,000 points have been deducted. Driving skill acquired.]
Driving Skill (Mastery): Perfectly controls all types of vehicles, whether land, sea, or air.
Slamming on the accelerator, the police car roared to life and sped off.
"Ah!" Watching from behind, Yusaku Kudo stomped his foot in frustration and scrambled to find another car to join the chase.
Meanwhile, a glider appeared in the sky. On it was Kuroba Ichi, holding the Chidori blade. He even had the audacity to wave farewell to everyone below.
Heizo Hattori and Ginshiro Toyama watched the retreating glider, muttering, "Kaitou Kid!"
Those outside the gymnasium, including Inspector Megure, could only gape at the sight.
someone muttered. "This kind of escape is practically cheating. How are we supposed to catch him? Even the police headquarters doesn't have its own helicopter!"
Despite their frustration, they couldn't simply let him get away. Inspector Megure shouted, "Get in the cars and give chase!"
The officers scrambled into their vehicles, but anyone could see that chasing on land was futile.
Eri clasped her hands together, silently praying.
…
The engine roared. Tires screeched. The flashing lights of the police car, driven by Kogoro Mouri, illuminated the road. Ignoring traffic lights, he pressed the accelerator to its limits, closing the distance between his car and the Porsche ahead.
The two vehicles sped down Beika Avenue like arrows shot from a bow. Cars on both sides of the street pulled over to make way. Was this a real-life version of a police chase scene from an action movie?
With the help of the system, Kogoro's driving skills grew sharper. Sharp turns, drifting, accelerating—his maneuvers were seamless. The distance between the two vehicles shrank steadily.
Trailing behind, Yusaku Kudo could only eat the dust kicked up by the chase.
In the Porsche, Yukiko's hands were tied. She turned her tear-filled eyes toward the rearview mirror, where hope flickered for a moment.
However, the black-clad man in the driver's seat pulled out a gun from his jacket. Fear filled Yukiko's eyes. 'No!'
A gunshot rang out. Kogoro felt a sharp sense of danger, like an icy blade piercing his brow. He immediately jerked the steering wheel. With a loud bang, the windshield shattered into a foggy mess.
With his vision obscured, Kogoro kicked the windshield out with a powerful thrust of his foot. Two more gunshots echoed. He swerved again, narrowly avoiding the bullets.
This sudden maneuver widened the gap between the cars again. Nearby civilian vehicles steered clear of the scene, their drivers hastily calling the police. This was a real-life police chase with gunfire!
"V-chan! Recommend a skill to counter this, now!"
Kogoro pressed the accelerator again. The police car moved like a living thing, zigzagging to dodge the incoming bullets.
V-chan's alluring voice responded,[Gun Kata recommended. Cost: 24,000 points. Redeem?]
This was a matter of life and death. Kogoro shouted, "Redeem! Redeem!"
Gun Kata (Beginner): Enhances precision and maximizes damage with calculated attacks, hitting even the most concealed targets. Includes proficiency in advanced gun techniques and the ability to redirect bullets.
Upon detecting the user's existing gun skills, they are merged to create Master-level proficiency.
An influx of information flooded Kogoro's mind, and his mastery over firearms increased dramatically. When the black-clad man fired again, Kogoro could predict the trajectory of the bullets just by listening. His movements became even more agile.
Kogoro wasn't planning on engaging in a gunfight on the streets. He intended to save his trump card for a decisive, surprise attack.
The man in black emptied his magazine, his brow furrowing. "Damn it! How can this be? I missed every shot?"
Reloading his gun, he put it away and stomped on the accelerator. The Porsche's speed surged forward once more.
The chase led the two cars to Beika City's abandoned western dock.
