"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In accordance with the cherished law of 'every dog that passes by gets a slap', Ichijō Mirai didn't even spare the two police officers guarding the shooting range.
Through repeated experiments, he had learned the valuable lesson that when dealing with uncooperative hostages, it was possible to shoot them from a hand's length away.
Shoot wherever it hurts.
For a hostage who was not struggling as much, if something unfortunate happened, it was better to shoot at a distance of one meter.
And the most precious news: they're so obedient.
Not only all the cadets, not only Morofushi Hiromitsu and the others, but even the strange officers we've never met before, they're all very obedient.
Ichijō Mirai was surprised.
If it was just in the middle of an operation, it would be a matter of course to obey all orders, and even if someone dared to disobey, they'd get a kick out of it, and the commanding officer would pay attention to them as a thorn in their side, and hold them down.
But it's not in action.
It's a bit more of a 'get me a glass of water', 'clean my room', 'go get me something' kind of thing.
It's a bit strange that they are so obedient...
And most importantly, they don't do it Inuo-style, they don't do it with their tails tucked between their legs, they do it without being threatened, with some initiative, with some respect.
With respect.
Not a hypocritical and eerie respect, but a real respect, not from the lush, sunflower cadets with their clear stupidity, but from the brilliant cadets with brains and ability, from the unfamiliar police officers who hadn't even met for ten minutes and hadn't even talked to each other for a couple of minutes.
It's okay to face those clear-eyed sunflowers, after all, they'll just wiggle their eyes brightly and offer up stupid vibes left and right.
But when confronted with good, honest police officers, who exuded trust, unspoken respect, and obedience, Ichijō Mirai was surprised, and a little uncomfortable: he was a criminal...
Uncomfortable to the point that Matsuda Jinpei was on guard, "Hey, there's no clean spot on my back!"
He raised his elbow and wiped the plasma in a somewhat awkward position, "I'm warning you, no more wiping!"
Scanning the faces of the entire room again, focusing on Morofushi Hiromitsu, he wipes his face while muttering, "I didn't realize that the two guys who seem to have the best tempers, and the best to mess with, actually shoot the most decisively."
"Tsk."
Morofushi Hiromitsu smiled at Matsuda Jinpei, "No way."
He didn't rub the stains that looked like blood too much, only rubbing them two or three times initially, looking a little more horror movie-esque creepy, "What's next, Mirai-san?"
"You already have a plan of action, don't you?"
Ichijō Mirai replied, "Next, we're going to find out what's going on at the Beika Bank,"
This is the absolute first step, no matter which side the robbers robbed the bank, whether it's a real robbery or a simulated one, the first step is to step on the spot and observe, to find out the internal situation of Beika Bank, to find out the retreat route.
No one was surprised, everyone nodded their heads and listened intently to Ichijō Mirai's detailed instructions, hearing.
"OK, let's disperse, bye."
...What?
Ichijō Mirai snapped his fingers, casually grabbed two guns and a supply of bullets, and turned his head to go, "Three days to go, let's split up and take point."
"We'll make plans for the rendezvous."
He said casually, "See you when you can."
Good news: Ichijō Mirai was planning to carry out the heist on the fourth day of training, the first day of heist time.
The timing was clear, so that was good news.
Bad news: Splitting up without a word of command.
...What kind of split-up operation?
Matsuda Jinpei subconsciously took two or three steps after him, dumbfounded, "Hey, wait, what do you mean?"
"What about the plan?"
According to Ichijō Mirai's command style in the last 'Disguised Criminal', shouldn't they have divided the ABCD zone with the Yonahana Bank as the center, sent people to map out the situation of the combined zone, considered how to map out the internal situation of the bank individually, and then uniformly planned a few evacuation routes?
Why did you just say 'bye-bye'? Or 'see you soon'!
And, "How do we rendezvous?!"
What about the time and place of the rendezvous?
Ichijō Mirai was almost out of the range when he looked back and thought hard, "Ah."
"It's a matter of luck."
"You can move together or separately," he said casually, "If separately, then each of you will rendezvous on your own merits."
"When the time comes to find you, I will find you, but right now there is a bit of an emergency,"
Said Ichijō Mirai waved his hand without looking back, rather casually, "You're not children, don't be like the sunflower, even the number of steps to walk to say clearly, figure out your own exploration,"
It's not like you don't have the ability to organize your actions, those who do have the ability can act on their own.
"It doesn't matter if you don't get it right, it's your first time," he said, wistfully, "just try it out."
Then, as if remembering something, "By the way, you can just explore the outside,"
"Inside the bank, I'll explore."
I'm going now.
"Bye."
Ichijō Mirai left the shooting range.
He didn't go to the dormitory, and he didn't intend to go straight out the front door, but he went around to the place where he could climb over the wall, and climbed over it in two or three tries.
Just as he was about to casually jump, he looked back, "What's wrong?"
"I'm not cooperating."
The area was remote, the nearest school building was unlit, and it was late, so darkness covered the neighborhood in shades of deep, uneven darkness, and the man Ichijō Mirai had passed by a while ago caught up with him, Morofushi Hiromitsu.
He seemed to have come up in a hurry, and was carrying the same gun he'd used to shoot heads off at the range, loading it as he went, "I thought you'd have changed clothes and gone back to your spot."
Ichijō Mirai, still wearing a police uniform, sniffed: "..."
A change of clothes was indeed necessary, but not at his dormitory, which didn't have any civilian clothes.
He had to go outside and ask Mr. Inuo to borrow a suit.
But that's not something you can say to a good police reserve.
He just said, "I'm going to go out first."
Morofushi Hiromitsu had not only a pistol, but also a sniper rifle on his back, which he loaded and put away for spare bullets, "Going out to 'borrow' clothes?"
The word 'borrow' was emphasized, obviously not intended.
Ichijō Mirai immediately said, "What are you talking about?"
"How can you insult someone's innocence!"
As he said that, he looked at Morofushi Hiromitsu a bit more: when he bit down on the word 'borrow', this guy didn't have any of the discomfort that belonged to a young police cadet.
"Don't 'borrow' it, please," Morofushi Hiromitsu said, "Why don't we go to my house?"
"It's my rented house. There's no one else there, so it can be used as a base of operations."
