Chapter 21

When Jinpei Matsuda and Toru Amuro found Shigeto Tsujimoto, the silver-haired young man was sitting on a bench on the side of the road, looking very depressed.

Although he didn't really want to attract attention, he looked as if he had just been ripped apart by a Husky, so it was hard not to attract attention.

Fortunately, the coat was not completely torn and was still wearable. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain to others why a large piece of his shirt was torn.

"…Do you need to explain this to us? Shigeto Tsujimoto?"

Looking at the other party's miserable appearance, Matsuda Jinpei couldn't even lose his temper.

"There's nothing to explain." Tsujimoto Shigetsu lowered his eyes.

"It's my fault, take me back."

He didn't argue or resist, he just went back obediently.

He is in a bad mood, and everyone can see it.

"Who did you meet? Why do you look so depressed?"

Noticing that Tsujimoto Shigeto looked as depressed as an eggplant hit by frost, Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but ask a question.

"I met Yuma." Shigetto Tsujimoto answered directly.

"Your brother?"

Amuro Toru, who was driving, suddenly turned his sight to the side.

"Did he tell you anything?"

It seems that this incident is indeed related to the Black Organization. Unfortunately, Amuro Toru was not involved in this case.

"It's not what he said to me, it's what I said to him." Tsujimoto shook his head.

"I wanted him to come back, but he was refused."

“…”

For a moment, Toru Amuro wanted to stick his head out of the window to clear his mind.

He is a member of the Black Organization! You actually want to use your words to whitewash him? ? Do you think you are the protagonist of a young manga? ?

However...if the other party was his brother, maybe Officer Tsujimoto would still have some naive ideas? Although it is not clear how much Officer Tsujimoto knows, he must have realized that his brother's identity is not simple.

It's a pity that he couldn't take part in the mission this time, otherwise he could have been of some help.

"……Why."

Matsuda Jinpei didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just reached out and patted Tsujimoto Shigetsu's shoulder.

"Go back first. You've been missing for so long, and everyone is worried about you."

There were many reporters at the scene of the crime, and they all wanted to interview Tsujimoto, who was at the center of the incident. However, considering that Tsujimoto was in poor condition and probably didn't want to meet with these reporters, Matsuda Jinpei asked Hagiwara Kenji to find a way to refuse them first.

When the car slowly stopped at the door of Shigeto Tsujimoto's house, Toru Amuro moved closer. He took the initiative to hold Shigeto Tsujimoto's hand and saw the scratch on his arm at a glance.

"Did he do it?"

"No." Shigetto Tsujimoto pulled down his tattered sleeves, trying to cover the wound.

"It was someone else. Yuma didn't hurt me. The wounds on the person who attacked me were many times more serious than mine."

Some of the personnel are still in the hospital, their injuries are a bit serious... but they probably won't have any sequelae, right?

"Too."

Seeing that the other party was somewhat resisting his actions, Amuro Toru also withdrew his hand.

"Although the wounds are not deep, they will become inflamed if left untreated."

"I'll come back and ask you about other things later. Before that, you should take care of your wound first."

Shigeto Tsujimoto did not resist the two's mandatory request. Although he did not think the wounds on his body were a big deal, since his two colleagues insisted on bandaging them themselves, he could give in.

Originally, Shigeto Tsujimoto was planning to go to the hospital to see his children, but for some reasons, many reporters were waiting at the hospital for interviews. Inspector Furutani called and helplessly asked Jinpei Matsuda to send Shigeto Tsujimoto home first and discuss other matters the next day.

"Yuu is really hurt much more than I am."

Just as Toru Amuro came back with the medical box, he heard Shigeto Tsujimoto speak suddenly.

"I was worried about him, but there was nothing I could do."

The silver-haired man lowered his head and looked at the lines on his palms, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

"What should I do..."

That guy can't take care of himself and he won't say anything.

I guess it will only behave a little better if it is caught in a cage and chained up.

"Why think so much? Go back and bandage it first! Leave the rest to me later!"

Looking at the opponent's depressed aura, Jinpei Matsuda suddenly felt a surge of anger from nowhere - not towards Tsujimoto Shigetsu, but towards that bastard named Tsujimoto Yuma.

"Since you are angry! Just give him a punch next time you see him! Aren't you good at talking? Just take him to the interrogation room and say whatever you want! If you can't do it, let me beat him! I will beat him until you are satisfied, okay!!"

"Pfft, there's no need to be so ruthless." Tsujimoto Shigetsu smiled.

"But thanks for the small draw."

"Don't talk like Hagi..." Matsuda Jinpei muttered.

"By the way, my medicine box is in the bedroom. Can Amuro help me get it?" Shigetto Tsujimoto turned around and asked.

"sure."

The original medical kit was placed in Shigeto Tsujimoto's bedroom, but strangely, when Toru Amuro wanted to push open the door, he found that Shigeto Tsujimoto's bedroom was locked.

"Is the room locked?"

When he noticed something was wrong, Tsujimoto Shigetsu's heart immediately went into alarm. He quickly got up and walked to the bedroom, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a bloodstain left on the ground.

A certain possibility also slowly emerged in his mind.

"Forget it, I have a spare medical kit, you can use that first." Shigetto Tsujimoto casually let go of his hand with no unusual expression.

"Is there anyone inside?" Toru Amuro's eyes seemed to flash.

"Yes, he is my friend." Tsujimoto said simply.

"He's staying with me temporarily, and his work schedule is a bit chaotic because of work. But don't worry, he'll be leaving soon, so don't disturb him for now."

"Is that so..."

Perhaps it was because Tsujimoto Shigeto's expression was too calm, and Amuro Toru didn't find anything wrong.

The process of applying medicine and cleaning the wounds was quite simple. Most of the wounds were scratches caused by knives and glass. Although the wounds looked scary, they were not that serious. Some of them had even begun to scab over.

It still hurts a little.

After treating the wound, Tsujimoto Shigeru realized that a layer of cold sweat had formed on his forehead. He took a short breath and quickly changed into another looser long-sleeved shirt.

"Thank you for always taking care of me." Shigetto Tsujimoto thanked sincerely.

"Oh, I really want to thank you. It's a good thing that you can make me worry less." Matsuda Jinpei looked at him coldly.

"I don't want to get hurt, but...if I don't go, those kids will never come back." Shiguto Tsujimoto turned his eyes away.

"I don't want innocent people to die in front of me. If it were Mr. Matsuda or Mr. Amuro, they would do the same, right?"

This action was indeed well-organized, at least others would not be able to find any flaws.

It's not strange that a just policeman would report the kidnapped child to the police immediately and then start an independent investigation, right?

Moreover, this time his red team value soared to 65%. It seems that the barrage really likes this kind of lone hero character.

"Well, you were really good this time."

Matsuda Jinpei's hand suddenly pressed on the other's soft hairline. Before Tsujimoto Shigetsu could freeze, he heard a very awkward voice from the other party.

"You want me to praise you, don't you? Now that I've done that, you should cheer me up, right?"

He actually still remembered what he said casually at that time.

"Matsuda-kun?" Tsujimoto Shigetsu was completely shocked.

"You are so honest. Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"It's rare that I'm nice to you, but I must have taken the wrong medicine, right?!" Jinpei Matsuda was furious.

"puff."

It was a rare sight to see Jinpei Matsuda embarrassed, and Toru Amuro finally couldn't help but laughed out loud while covering her mouth.

"Well, Mr. Matsuda, let's leave first. I think Officer Tsujimoto may need some privacy."

"Okay, okay, okay! This guy has escaped from our sight more than once or twice..."

After finally ruffling the ends of Shigeto Tsujimoto's soft hair, the two said goodbye and left Shigeto Tsujimoto's house.

The originally bustling room suddenly became quiet. The curve of Shigeto Tsujimoto's mouth smoothed a little, and the gentle smile in his eyes finally disappeared completely.

Now it's time to do something else.

He turned and walked towards the room, and just as he was about to knock on the door, the tightly closed door happened to open a crack.

The black-haired, blue-eyed man met his gaze, and the air fell silent.

"you……"

"I……"

Both of them tried to speak, but the moment they opened their mouths, they suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Tell me slowly, I will decide what to do based on what you say."

Shigeto Tsujimoto noticed the blood on the other person's hand that was against the door, and seemed to understand something.

"I'm sorry." Zhu Fujingguang apologized immediately.

"Because I can't go back, I can only come to your place to hide for a while."

He never expected that Shigeto Tsujimoto would come back so soon. Although it was better than being discovered by Toru Amuro, things became troublesome.

"And what? Why do you have the key to my house?"

Shigeto Tsujimoto leaned against the door edge, waiting patiently for his explanation.

“You gave me the key.”

Perhaps realizing that he couldn't hide much more, Zhu Fu Jingguang gritted his teeth and confessed.

"I can tell you, but..."

"I can't tell Yuma, can I?"

Tsujimoto sighed. He probably knew what was going on.

"Okay, I won't tell him. Let me go in and take a look at his injuries first, and we can talk about other things later."

Because he was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Yuma Tsujimoto was of course unable to activate his skills to return to the room. He could of course choose to stay there and be taken away by Gin, but the person who came was Morobushi Kagemitsu.

If he was left there alone, there was no telling when A would show up. Morofushi Jingguang couldn't stay here for too long, so he had to find a way to escape first.

Morofushi Kagemitsu, who didn't know where the safe house was, couldn't take a seriously injured person to the hospital. After all, Tsujimoto Yuma's true face must not be seen by anyone.

He could only bring Yuma Tsujimoto back to Shigeto Tsujimoto's house because Shigeto Tsujimoto had given him the key to the house.

But he really didn't expect that Shigeto Tsujimoto would come back so soon.

When his colleague tried to open the door, Morobushi Kagemitsu's heartbeat almost reached a terrifying speed.

Grenz had warned him not to tell anyone about him, or he would attack Furuya Rei.

Yuma Tsujimoto was leaning weakly in the corner. As long as Kagemitsu Morofushi made a slight move, the man could easily die at his hands.

If Gruntz died, everyone would be safe and he would be free.

But Zhufu Jingguang couldn't do it.

When Shigeto Tsujimoto walked into the room, he saw blood stains from the curtains to the floor. The whole room looked like a murder scene, the kind of scene that could be copied from an original episode of Conan.

However, compared with the changes in the surrounding environment, the most serious problem is the man curled up in the corner.

"He doesn't want me to get close to him." Zhu Fujingguang was a little nervous.

"Although he was in a semi-comatose state, he would subconsciously resist every time I bandaged him... His injuries were too severe, but I couldn't take him to the hospital."

Morobu Jingguang subconsciously concealed the affairs of the Black Organization.

He felt that even if the secret was to be exposed, he should at least wait until Grenz sobered up before telling Shigeto Tsujimoto.

"You have a good temper too." Tsujimoto Shigetsu sighed.

"Why not just tie it up and then wrap it? Don't you have any rope?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu: "..."

Morofushi Kagemitsu: “Ah?”

"When you bathe a cat, you always put it in a cat bag. Isn't it common sense to tie up the cat's hands and feet before bandaging it? Otherwise, the person will almost die if he continues to suffer like this before the wound is bandaged properly." Shigetsu Tsujimoto found a strong hemp rope in the drawer and threw it directly to Morobushi Kagemitsu.

"Avoid the wound, tie up your hands and feet, and I will teach you how to bandage them."

…

Shigetsu Tsujimoto opened his system gold-winning file, intending to look for any one-time-use skills that could be replaced.

Yuma Tsujimoto was seriously injured, and it was obvious that A had almost killed him. He detonated the bomb in the room, intending to kill Yuma Tsujimoto along with the entire room.

A turned her obsession with him into hatred for Yuma Tsujimoto... maybe there were other emotions mixed in? In any case, it couldn't be a good emotion.

But Yuma Tsujimoto survived.

[Do you want to use the skill replacement system? ]

The system prompt sounded.

【yes.】

[Serious reminder, this replacement system can only be used once, and the skill card can only be used on other people. The rewards will be recovered from you in stages, please consider carefully. ]

【yes.】

[You have replaced the one-time skill card [Archangel's Breath], please use it with caution.]

【Confirmed.】

"Officer Tsujimoto, I've tied him up." Morobushi Kagemitsu stood up.

"What should we do next?"

"Leave it to me. Go get me some new clothes from the closet. It's better if they are loose."

"I see."

After Morofushi Kagemitsu left, Tsujimoto Shigeto quickly activated the one-time skill [Breath of the Archangel] and used it on Tsujimoto Yuma.

The wounds on Yuma Tsujimoto's body also began to improve significantly with the use of the skill card. Although his face was still pale, his overall condition was obviously much better.

“Hmm…”

As if he sensed someone approaching him, Yuma Tsujimoto frowned subconsciously, but surprisingly did not resist.

It seems that he still has a high level of confidence in himself.

Large area burns, fractures, internal organ ruptures... these more serious injuries have almost healed, leaving him with some superficial injuries that have not completely healed. Otherwise, he would not know how to explain this bizarre thing to Zhufu Jingguang.

"I've already bandaged him up. I'll change his clothes later, and you can drive my car back." When Morobushi Kagemitsu came back, Tsujimoto Shigetto threw his car keys to him.

"My car is a Volkswagen. Remember to change the license plate before driving. The replacement license plate is in the trunk so that no one will find out it is my car."

"Officer Tsujimoto..."

"After you've dealt with Yuma, remember to come back and explain to me about you. I won't ask Yuma, but I must ask you." Shigetto Tsujimoto looked at him quietly.

"Isn't this request too much?"

…

As for A, he needs to think about it carefully.

Originally, he thought that the free-range vicious dog could be tamed by just shooting it twice, but he didn't expect it to be so vicious that it even endangered Yuzhen's life.

It always feels inappropriate if I don't do something.

However, he really didn't plan to ask about Yuma Tsujimoto. Yuma was too sensitive, and he would rather fall into A's hands than show his vulnerable side to him.

Since he doesn't want to know, then Shigetto Tsujimoto will just pretend he doesn't know.

Who makes him the elder brother?

After dealing with the blood-stained clothes and tidying up the room, Shigetto Tsujimoto picked up the garbage and prepared to throw it away.

However, he suddenly discovered that there was a letter in the mailbox at the door of his house.

...If I remember correctly, he didn't see any letter when he came here just now?

Shigetsu Tsujimoto threw away the garbage first, then reached out to take the letter. After skillfully opening it, the thin letter paper soon appeared before his eyes.

[Dear Police Officer Involved:

I have always admired you very much. Maybe you don't know who I am, but I have always wanted to have a chance to confront you head on.

Don't be nervous. I have no plans to do anything now. This is just a warning letter. You can tell the Metropolitan Police Department or tell no one.

But... the rising star of the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely be destroyed by my own hands.

A]

…

Wow, he came to me on his own? ?
