Chapter 10

People's intuition is always very accurate.

Especially at this critical moment, when Tsujimoto's uneasy premonition became more and more obvious, he realized that things must be complicated.

It would be nice to have a pair of eyes that could see what's going on inside the door.

It's a pity that Shigetsu Tsujimoto doesn't have the option of X-ray in his skill set. But in a way, he does have the power to rival X-ray.

[Fuck, are you serious...]

[Door, behind the door——]

[Hiss…Shizue-chan!! Don’t open the door!! Please don’t open the door!!!]

[He’ll die! He’ll definitely die!! He must be sick!! He actually dared…]

[It may not be A who planted the bomb, but Shigeto doesn’t know anything! ! Does Esumi Hideki want to die with Shigeto? ! He actually hid a bomb under his clothes! ! ! ]

[Does Ekaku Hideki want to kill Watari? But... why???]

[If you are interested, please don't go in here! ! Wuwuwu, this new character I finally became a fan of, please don't leave so soon! ! ! ]

…

The eight eggs arrived late.

Shigetaka Tsujimoto knew what was going on, but he still pushed the door open.

Squeak——

The small study was filled with a unique aroma. There was a square table facing the window, with chairs on one side close to the window and the other side close to the door of the room.

A dim candle was flickering on the table. Hideki Egao was sitting on a chair near the door, holding a cigarette between his fingers. White mist lingered in the air and then dissipated bit by bit.

If it weren't for the bullet screen reminder, he wouldn't even dare to believe that Jiang Jiao Xiushu had a time bomb tied to his body at this moment.

"Mr. Jiang Jiao, what is the matter that you called me over for?"

The silver-haired young man was sitting in front of Jiang Jiaoxiu. He glanced across the table and quickly saw the contents of the book on the table -

To be precise, it is not a book but a photo album.

"They are all children I adopted before." Jiang Jiaoxiushu said with a smile.

"I really miss that time. Even though life was a little hard, we were like a family."

Most of the children adopted by Egasaki Hideki have some problems.

Blind, or someone who has suffered from an incurable disease since childhood, or the child of a murderer with criminal tendencies.

They were all abandoned children, and Hideki Ekaku initially adopted them only out of pity.

Except for Shigeto Tsujimoto, he was adopted only because he lost his parents in an accident, so he was also the first child to be adopted.

"I don't remember clearly." Shigetsu Tsujimoto shook his head.

"Is that so?"

Hideki Esumi smiled helplessly, but did not make any comment on what Shigeto Tsujimoto said.

He pulled out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the other person.

“Do you smoke?”

"Uh... not really."

"Take it with you. You'll need it eventually." Jiang Jiao Xiushu handed the cigarette box to the other party.

"So, who did it?"

Shigetsu Tsujimoto took the cigarette box from the other person and clenched his fingers.

"A, as you can see." Jiang Jiaoxiushu closed his eyes.

"I deserved it all. I handed you over to them in exchange for a large sum of money."

So you can't just stop being a mystery teller! Do you have to wait until the second before you get killed to reveal the specific information? ? ?

But the more times like this happened, the more he had to calm down.

This is crucial information and it will definitely not be exposed to him so quickly.

"I think I have the right to know the truth of the matter." Shibuto Tsujimoto looked at him quietly.

"To hate or not to hate, that's my decision."

"You're right, I'm indeed indecisive." Jiang Jiaoxiushu smiled bitterly, but a subtle and complicated expression flashed across his eyes.

"Of course I can tell you the truth, but before that..."

Hideki Egao's fingers seemed to be ready to press something, but before he touched the button, an accident suddenly occurred.

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of gunfire interrupted the conversation between the two. In just a moment, the candle on the table went out instantly, and warm blood splashed on his face.

Shigeto Tsujimoto's subconscious back was pressed against the edge of the window, his pupils slightly dilated, and in the cold moonlight, he seemed to see the muzzle of the gun raised again in the darkness, and the finger slightly pulling the trigger.

"Bang!"

“Blah!!!”

The sound of the window breaking and the continuous gunshots rang out simultaneously, and almost in the next second, Matsuda Jinpei and Furuya Rei broke into the room directly -

However, they were still a step too late.

Half of the huge glass window was broken at some point, and the cold wind blew up the curtains.

The cold moonlight poured down, and the lifeless Jiangjiaoxiu tree fell to the ground. The time bomb hidden in the coat stopped at the position with only one minute left.

He is dead.

·

The lake water during the season change is even colder than you might imagine.

When the silver-haired young man swam to the shore with difficulty, he clearly felt the stinging pain on his face.

The bullet grazed his cheek.

If he was just a step late, he would be killed by the opponent's gun.

Shigeto Tsujimoto took off his soaked coat and threw it aside. The soaked clothes were too heavy and would affect his movement speed.

“Click… click…”

Perhaps due to the water, the hearing aid had obvious problems. The once clear world began to sound with a hoarse noise, like a saw being pulled back and forth in his ears.

“The quality is too poor...”

Shigeto Tsujimoto tried to adjust it, but finally sighed helplessly. The sound he could hear was instantly reduced to about 30%, but it was better than nothing.

The most terrifying thing is a world of complete silence.

Even being able to catch a little sound is extremely important to him.

There was a dense forest near the artificial lake, so it was not difficult to walk back from here. Moreover, in order to prevent himself from falling and causing serious injuries, Tsujimoto Shigeta once again activated the skill [Damage Transfer] to disperse most of the damage to various parts of the body, so that nothing serious happened.

"call--"

When he began to feel a brief heaviness and dizziness in his brain, Tsujimoto realized he had to leave quickly.

A seemed to have jumped down with me. If I'm not mistaken... he should be nearby.

White mist rose from the dark forest, seriously affecting his vision. Tsujimoto Shigeta wanted to activate the skill again, but found that the system began to issue a serious warning.

The use of skills requires a certain amount of physical strength. When his physical strength drops rapidly, it is very dangerous to activate the skill again.

Calm down, at least wait until he recovers his strength first...

Shigeto Tsujimoto leaned against a tree, closed his eyes, felt the extremely uncomfortable stickiness of his hair and clothes, and frowned in discomfort.

This outfit is probably wasted.

He is a spearman after all...his luck value is always negative.

The moment he heard the intermittent footsteps stop, Shigeto Tsujimoto made up his mind.

"What a jerk, dear Officer Tsujimoto." A's voice was very young, and seemed to carry a strange sense of excitement.

"It's a pity that you are going to die here today."

...Is it A?

The cold muzzle of the gun suddenly pressed against his chin. As his eyes were forced upwards, Tsujimoto's pupils shrank subconsciously.

"Why you!?"

The moonlight sprinkled on the long silver hair, but the black windbreaker blended into the shadows cast by the trees. The face that looked exactly like him was raised proudly, and there was only cold murderous intent in the indigo eyes.

This is indeed unexpected.

"Is it weird?"

Yuma Tsujimoto looked down at him, his gun still unmoved, a smile on his face.

"Who would have thought that my dear brother would become a respected policeman, but it's good that way—"

"After all, what I hate most is someone who is more perfect than me."

"Ahem..." Tsujimoto Shigetsu covered his mouth subconsciously, but couldn't help coughing.

"I don't understand why you want to kill Ekaku Hideki?"

"He knows a secret that he shouldn't know." Yuma Tsujimoto narrowed his eyes.

"And you...I just simply hate you."

"Hate me?"

The young police officer looked pale, and his eyes were filled with confusion.

"Aren't we brothers..."

"This is the funniest joke I've ever heard." Yuma Tsujimoto raised the corners of his lips, but he did not hide his sarcasm.

"Of course, I still love my brother dearly, but it seems to me that you would be more comfortable dead than alive."

"So, I can only apologize--"

Click.

The sound of bullets being loaded was heard again.

"I advise you to stop now." Matsuda Jinpei's voice was clear in the darkness.

"Now, leave Tsujimoto Wataruto immediately!"

Jinpei Matsuda had never been so nervous.

The man in front of him obviously had a face that was almost identical to that of Shigeto Tsujimoto, so his identity was naturally self-evident.

But...the younger brother that Tsujimoto Shigaraki had always been thinking about was now standing in front of him, pointing the gun at his own brother.

Why!?

Yuma Tsujimoto was a little surprised, and he soon realized that there was a figure coming from the other side. However, that person seemed to be hiding deeper and didn't even reveal his appearance.

——It’s probably Furuya Rei.

But it doesn’t matter…just pretend he’s blind and didn’t see it.

"How many people did you bring? Two? Three?" Tsujimoto Yuma looked around with interest.

"I didn't expect so many people would care about your safety, brother. You are more popular than I thought."

Damn.

Toru Amuro noticed the other person's aura almost immediately, and his heart began to beat violently.

That extreme sense of danger, like a snake spitting out its tongue, and the sense of oppression that is almost coming towards me...

He is definitely a member of the Black Organization.

He didn't know who the other person was, but both he and Conan had a very clear intuition.

Fortunately, Conan had attached a tracking device to Shigeto Tsujimoto in advance, otherwise Shigeto Tsujimoto would have been dead for sure.

“But it also made me change my mind.”

Yuma Tsujimoto suddenly withdrew his hand and took two steps back.

"Compared to killing you with my own hands, it is more interesting to torture you slowly..."

"Whatever you want." Shigetto Tsujimoto turned his eyes away.

"Oh, by the way, I advise you not to shoot. I have a bomb on my body. Once it explodes, this forest will be affected." As if he was aware of the actions of others, Yuma Tsujimoto added slowly,

"Do you all want to be buried with me?"

"This lunatic!!!"

Jinpei Matsuda's palms were almost sweating, but he didn't dare to shoot at all.

He didn't dare to gamble.

"Well, Brother Sheren, I am looking forward to seeing you next time..."

Yuma Tsujimoto took off his hat and pressed it against his chest. He smiled and retreated into the darkness, disappearing like a dispersing crow.

The chilly and oppressive feeling gradually dissipated, and in the end, only a mess was left.

...Does that guy always like to act fancy when he leaves?

It's really his style.

"It involves people!!"

Feeling the chaotic footsteps ringing in his ears, Shigetto Tsujimoto closed his eyes in pain and didn't want to move for the time being.

It’s better to just fall into a coma.

Yuma will probably come to see him later, and then he will definitely catch that guy and ask him what's wrong with him...
