Capítulo 493: A Sharpshooter

Dai Li stood on a platform with a 50m rifle at a gun range. He was facing a piece of white paper with a coin-sized black circle in the center.

The judge, the jury, the notary, and Nick Reiss were all with him.

Wilfried had a coin in his hand and was comparing it with the black circle on the target. "Everyone," he said. "This is the target sheet. The black circle in the center is as big as my coin. Does anyone disagree with this setup?"

No one showed any sign of disagreement. Wilfrid then took out an air rifle and spoke to the notary. "Sir, this is a rifle specially designed for competition. Please check it."

The notary took the rifle and checked it carefully. Later he returned it to Wilfrid and said, "Nothing wrong with it."

"Let me clarify one thing in advance. The scope on this rifle cannot magnify things. The target you see through the scope is as big as the real one. Am I right, sir?"

"Yes," said the notary.
