Armed Detective Killer's Killing Game

"What exactly happened to Teacher Sayonari?"

While Fang Li was lost in thought, Aria was confused. Looking at Fang Li, she said with a puzzled expression, "Although I'm not very familiar with Teacher Sayonari, everyone says he's very polite and gets along well with everyone. Why does he seem to dislike you?"

"I've been thinking about this problem for at least half a year. I even asked a friend to investigate Sayonari secretly, but I haven't found anything." Fang Li frowned and sighed, "If we knew the reason, it would be easier to handle, but I don't know what the reason is."

Fang Li didn't seem to care much about the matter, and shrugged, saying, "Perhaps I offended someone without realizing it."

Fang Li was just saying that casually.

However, Aria frowned and suddenly said, "I don't think it's you who offended him, but rather that he's rejecting you."

"Reject me?" Fang Li was taken aback and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Intuition," Aria said very simply. "I just felt that was it."

Fang Li was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You... you shouldn't underestimate my intuition!" Aria said, grinning slightly. "My intuition is always very accurate!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Fang Li replied to Aria in a perfunctory tone, which made Aria so angry that she almost pounced on Fang Li and bit him.

Suddenly, Leiji's voice rang out in Fang Li and Aria's earpieces.

"The tanker's float has started to rise."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li and Aria were both taken aback.

Then, Leiji said, "This buoyancy is caused by the engine starting up; the tanker is about to set sail."

Upon hearing this, both Fang Li and Aria's expressions froze.

Tonight is just the opening ball.

In other words, the tanker was not originally scheduled to sail.

Now, the oil tanker is about to set sail.

This is clearly an abnormal situation.

"Beep beep beep beep beep—!"

As if to prove Leiji's words, the tanker began to sound its horn and slowly moved forward amidst the sound of the waves.

This surprised all the high-society people on the deck.

"What happened?"

"Why did you suddenly set sail?"

"Isn't tonight just the opening ball?"

"Is it some kind of entertainment program?"

The upper-class people all started talking about it.

Seeing this, Fang Li and Aria exchanged a glance.

"This is troublesome," Aria said softly. "If this oil tanker sets sail, we'll be caught in the trap set by the Armed Detective Killer."

The Armed Detective Killer's specialty is planting bombs on vehicles that explode when they slow down.

Once the tanker sets sail, it will become nothing more than a toy for Armed Detective Killer.

Following the bus hijacking incident, the tanker hijacking incident also began at this moment.

"Aria!" Fang Li said without further ado, "Let the people on the ship get off first!"

"Understood!" Aria did as instructed without hesitation.

However, just as the two were about to take out their armed investigation licenses and get the upper-class people on the tanker to follow their orders, someone pointed to the sea and exclaimed in surprise.

What is that?

On the deck, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze toward the sea.

Immediately, everyone present saw it.

On the sea, dark shadows began to appear, riding the waves and rapidly approaching this direction.

"That is..." Aria focused her gaze and stared straight ahead.

Only Fang Li, seemingly lost in thought, spoke in a low voice, "So fast?"

Almost the instant Fang Li finished speaking, Leiji's voice came through the earpiece again.

"Those are speedboats, unmanned, but each one is equipped with submachine guns."

Upon hearing this, even Aria instantly understood what was going on.

"Oh no!" Aria immediately shouted to everyone on deck, "Everyone, get inside the cabins! Quickly!"

Everyone present was immediately stunned.

Until Fang Li's voice followed.

"They're here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, speedboats finally came into view on the sea.

"Da da da da da—!"

Accompanied by the sound of submachine gun fire, speedboats began to spew muzzle flash, unleashing a hail of bullets that rained down on the deck.

"Clang clang clang clang clang—!"

The next second, a hail of bullets rained down, creating violent collisions around the tanker's deck, sparks flying amidst the crisp sounds of impact.

"Aaaaaaahh...

"Ya ya ya ya ya—!"

Screams and screams rang out at the same time.

On the deck, all the upper-class people dressed in formal attire were in a panic. They screamed, covered their heads, and squatted down one after another.

"Hurry up!" Aria shouted to everyone in her uniquely childlike voice, "Get into the cabin immediately!"

The group of upper-class people finally realized what was happening, and hurriedly covered their heads, braving the hail of bullets, and rushed into the cabin like madmen.

"Bang bang bang bang bang--!"

Under the dense hail of bullets, bottles of champagne on the deck of the oil tanker, placed on tables covered with white cloths, were shot off one after another, causing the liquor to splash everywhere.

Fang Li and Aria nimbly hid behind a dining table, causing bullets to frequently strike the table with crisp, clattering sounds.

"Damn Armed Detective Killer!" Aria tore open the hem of her dress and pulled out her two Colts from underneath, immediately trying to rush out.

"It's no use." Fang Li pressed down on Aria's shoulder, shook his head, and said, "Speedboats are not vehicles. With our firepower, it will be difficult to deal with those speedboats."

As he said this, Fang Li pressed the earpiece and said to Leiji, "Leiji, please notify the Metropolitan Police Department and the Armed Detective Agency and ask them to send a rescue team, preferably by helicopter, as there are still a lot of hostages here."

"Understood." Leiji's response was as concise as ever, without the slightest hint of confusion.

"Aria, let's go to the cockpit." Fang Li said to Aria beside him, "Given the usual methods of Armed Detective Killer, they should have already notified the pilots that the tanker will explode if they slow down. Let's go there and check the situation."

"Yes." Aria nodded heavily.

However, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred.

"Bang----!"

A heavy gunshot, mixed with the sound of submachine gun fire, rang out, sending a bullet piercing the night sky and hurtling towards Aria.
