Chapter 33
The next day, at three in the morning.
By the time Shigeto Tsujimoto came out of the room, four full hours had passed.
"Is it solved?"
Furuya Gawajin, who had been waiting for Shigemoto Tsujimoto to come out, walked up and asked with some concern.
"It's solved. It's easier than I thought." Shigetto Tsujimoto smiled.
"I'll take him out a little later. Can you give A to me next? I want him to help me investigate something."
"No problem, I trust your choice, Officer Involved." Furuya Kawai nodded.
"But according to regulations, he must wear a tracker that can capture him at any time. If he is willing to cooperate with the investigation, that would be great. But I still don't think we can trust him completely."
"That's easy." Tsujimoto Shigetsu agreed.
"But Mr. Furuya, I just want to ask a question out of curiosity. What is the X organization that Officer Furuya investigated? I don't think I have ever heard of the name of this organization."
"Organization X..."
Furuya Kawaihito remained silent for a moment before continuing,
"It is an underground black organization that invaded from Russia. X is the first letter of their organization's name [Hunter], so it is abbreviated as [Organization X]."
"Also drug research and an underground black organization? I don't think I've heard much about this organization..." Shigetto Tsujimoto fell into deep thought.
"This matter itself is very private, and Organization X has been wiped out for a long time. This matter is rarely mentioned, and I don't know more about it. After all, I heard most of the information from my predecessors, so I don't know much about it myself."
"Yeah, I see."
Shigetto Tsujimoto nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Furuya Gawa Jin is lying, or he is hiding something.
Although he had no evidence, Tsujimoto subconsciously felt this way.
However, the other party was still concerned about his safety. Tsujimoto Shigeto felt that it was impolite to force the other party to answer, so he did not continue asking.
It would be better for him to investigate the affairs of Organization X himself.
"Where are you planning to go these two days? Are you going back to the Metropolitan Police Department?" asked Inspector Furutani.
"Yes, I must reappear in front of the public and attract the attention of the Black Organization, so that Officer Furuya can better perform his mission." Tsujimoto Shigetsu covered his eyes lightly.
"By the way, what are the officers going to do?"
"He said he wanted to dress up and go back with Rei Furuya."
"Cross-dressing? He can actually do this..." Shigetto Tsujimoto fell into deep thought.
Probably Yuma taught him that.
Although Yuma always says that he is unforgiving, people like Morobushi Kagemitsu will probably just eat him up.
Shigetsu Tsujimoto recalled a lot of incomplete memories. He rubbed his temples and finally sighed tiredly.
"I'll go talk to them about the battle plan first."
…
At this moment, in another house.
"Hiro."
Looking at the completely unrecognizable Morobushi Kagemitsu after his disguise, Furutani Rei showed a shocked expression on his face.
"Did you take further courses during the time you were missing? Why do I feel like you have acquired a lot of new skills..."
"Are you talking about the art of disguise? This is also what the senior taught me." said Morofushi Jingguang.
"What about intelligence organization? And hacking techniques... did that senior tell you about these?"
Morobushi Kagemitsu also brought a lot of extremely useful internal information, which also surprised Furutani Rei.
"Yes, because he is not in good health, sometimes I have to help him work overtime." Morobushi Jingguang answered truthfully.
“…”
Furuya Reiichi didn't know what to say for a moment.
The returning friend seemed to have acquired many more skills, and these skills were all taught to him by Grenz, whom he had always been very wary of.
He had the good fortune to carry out missions with Grenz, and was deeply impressed by the other's extremely arrogant and malicious character.
I didn't expect that person to show an unexpected side.
"Don't worry. I know more about what to do with the Black Organization's intelligence personnel than you do." Zhu Fujingguang said softly.
"I learned a lot from Senior Yuma, and I think I can help you a little this time."
"We will save him." Furuya Rei comforted.
"The police officer involved also said that he would find an opportunity for us. As long as the power to the laboratory is completely cut off at the critical moment, we will have a chance to sneak in and find Yuma Tsujimoto."
"What if I can't make it in time for the experiment?" Morofu Jingguang clenched his fingers.
"Then take him away by force. Survival is more important than anything else." Furuya Rei said sternly.
"The police officer involved must be more upset than us. Since he can stay calm and wait for the right time, I think we should stay calm even more."
"You're right." Morofushi Jingguang understood.
At this moment, Shigeto Tsujimoto walked in. He had just finished talking to A, and his face looked very tired, even the ends of his hair were frizzy with worry.
"Officer involved? Aren't you going to get some sleep? You haven't had much sleep since you woke up, so you should get some rest." Fūya Rei asked concernedly.
"I'll go to bed soon." Shigetto Tsujimoto glanced at the panel and saw that his physical value had dropped to sixty-five, which was not a big problem.
"Is there something you must say now?" Morofushi Jingguang disconnected the laptop from the Internet and finally closed the screen.
"It's the result of my communication with A. I think I can control him. According to the plan, he should cause massive damage here tonight and escape from prison." Shigetsu Tsujimoto pointed to his earphone.
"He will follow my actions to provoke the Black Organization, and I will probably return to the Metropolitan Police Department in the next two days. I can't go directly to the Black Organization, so Yuma will be handed over to you."
Yuma is safest when the Black Organization's attention is focused on him.
So he couldn't rush back now. If the process of returning was too smooth, the Black Organization would become suspicious.
"A will tell the Black Organization that I have returned to the Metropolitan Police Department after regaining consciousness. They will definitely try to threaten me or catch me." Tsujimoto said.
"Of course, this is just one possibility. The more likely possibility is that they didn't trust A, so they shot A to death. This result is not bad either."
Furuya Rei was speechless: "...It is indeed very good."
Whether it was tricking A into dying or using A to lure out the members of the Black Organization, both achieved Tsujimoto Shigeto's goal.
Although he still didn't understand why A would trust Shigetto Tsujimoto so much.
"I'll sleep here for a while. When you have sorted out the information you brought back from the organization, wake me up. I'll go back to my room to rest after I finish reading it."
Shigeto Tsujimoto sat on the sofa next to him. Since they came back, Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu haven't had much rest. After sorting out the data, Furuya Rei had to go back immediately. No matter how you look at it, they are the ones who are working harder.
"Just take care of it, Inspector Furuya and I will sort out the rest, you just need to return to the Black Organization as soon as possible." Shigeta Tsujimoto added.
"A will probably return to the Black Organization tonight. You need to go back there before he comes back."
"I understand." Zhu Fujingguang nodded.
After the conversation ended, the voice behind me disappeared.
Shigetsu Tsujimoto lowered his eyes, his mind heavy. Only at this moment did he realize that he seemed to be really tired, and he didn't even want to think any more, because those thoughts would only increase the pain in his brain.
Memories of the past...
What did he experience in the past, and what has he forgotten?
He didn't know and had no way to find out.
In the final analysis, Shigeto Tsujimoto is a very casual and easy-going person. He hates troublesome things and his way of thinking is relatively simple - he just prefers this kind of casual and simple life.
But that doesn't mean he can't fit into a life he doesn't want to accept.
The bullet screen in front of him slowly flowed under his eyes, and Shigeto Tsujimoto closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
【Why……】
[I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but after Shibuto-chan came back, he looked much more haggard. ]
[Shouldn't you go back and rest at this time? You actually fell asleep lying on the sofa like this? ? ]
[Sheren is calm enough, but she seems to be getting more and more depressed, and her smile seems forced.]
[I think that being so calm was beyond my expectation.]
[But Zero finally met Hiro, wuwuwu...]
[So Yuma is the one who has been taking care of Hiro? I never thought that a bad cat would be so nice...]
[No, no, no, it's Hiro who's taking care of Yuma! No matter how you look at it, Yuma is much crazier than Shibuto! ]
[Yuma cat, please come back soon!! I'm really worried about what happened to Yuma in the Black Organization...]
…
“Click.”
Faintly, he seemed to hear the sound of a door being slammed shut. When he regained consciousness, Yuma Tsujimoto gradually opened his eyes.
Unlike before, he did not feel the familiar pain today.
Even the clothes I was wearing were changed, and the unbearable sticky feeling disappeared.
However, such a peaceful atmosphere still could not make him feel at ease, and even made Yuma Tsujimoto even more uneasy.
"You're awake, little guy."
The familiar voice rang out again, and Yuma Tsujimoto shuddered almost reflexively, looking at the other party with disgust.
"Don't make that face, it's like you're going to eat me."
The doctor rested his hands on the side of the laboratory table. He looked down at the other person, his eyes behind the glasses showing an expression of interest.
"Your nightmare will soon be over. In a little while, you will forget all the pain you have ever experienced. I will treat you to a drink to celebrate. What kind of wine do you like? Your hobbies and interests should not change much after you lose your memory."
"You'd better go die." Yuma Tsujimoto sneered.
"You're just being stubborn now."
The doctor stood up slowly. He glanced at his watch and felt better for no apparent reason.
"Let's wait five minutes. We can chat. After all, I should be the first person you see when you wake up. I am still looking forward to seeing the clingy little wild cat."
"Get lost."
If vision could materialize into blades, the doctor would have been killed countless times.
"Do you know? A returned to the Black Organization last night - that mad dog." The doctor seemed to be completely unconcerned about Yuma Tsujimoto's attitude, and his tone was very relaxed.
"He told the Black Organization where Shigeto Tsujimoto was and begged the organization to bring Shigeto back."
"The organization did not execute him. After all, his information was true and reliable, and Gin said he was willing to trust him."
Noticing the change in Tsujimoto Yuma's expression, the doctor's smile widened.
"Be quiet. No one cares about you now. Everyone's attention is on Tsujimoto Shigetsu, and the surveillance system in this room is basically disabled."
"Even if something happened in this room, no one would know."
The slender fingers picked up the red syringe on the tray. Tsujimoto Yuma's pupils suddenly shrank and he subconsciously resisted violently.
"Hey, don't get excited. How can you be afraid of injections when you're that old? This shouldn't happen."
The doctor pressed his shoulder with his fingers and inserted the cold needle directly into his vein.
A slight whimpering sound came from Yuma Tsujimoto's throat, his eyes widened blankly, and tears flowed unconsciously.
No……
He doesn’t want to forget…
Whether it was the secrets he was hiding, or Shigeto Tsujimoto, or even that annoying man who always liked to control him...
No! Stop now!
Just when Yuma Tsujimoto finally fell into complete despair, the entire laboratory suddenly went dark at this moment.
“?!”
The doctor had just pulled out the needle when he noticed that the lights around him went out. The whole room fell into a deathly silence.
"What the hell? There's a power outage? What is the Black Organization doing? A power outage at this critical moment is simply fatal..."
Anyway, the drug injection is over, his mission is accomplished, and all he has to do next is wait for the drug to take effect.
Thinking of this, the doctor relaxed his guard.
However, the doctor did not notice the figure behind him gradually sitting up, nor did he notice... a slender hand picking up the empty syringe that fell on the ground.
The moment the power went out, the electronic handcuffs that had been restraining the experimenters opened automatically.
No one would have thought that the weak experimental subject would become a murderous ghost.
The sharp needle suddenly pierced the target. At the moment when the intense pain arose, the doctor's fingers trembled slightly and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"No... This is impossible!! This can't be--"
The doctor fell to the ground in intense pain. He struggled to find the beast lurking in the darkness, but the opponent came down on him and pressed his chest hard with his knee. He swung his arm without hesitation and injected the fatal second shot.
"puff!"
The strength of the struggle became weaker and weaker, and the doctor's pupils finally dilated and he stopped breathing completely.
Yuma Tsujimoto's technique has always been very accurate.
"call……"
Yuma Tsujimoto staggered back, threw away the blood-stained syringe in his hand, and covered his forehead with his hands.
It takes time for the medicine to work.
His memory has begun to blur... No, he must escape during this time.
At the moment of the power outage, Yuma Tsujimoto seized every opportunity he could to kill the doctor. He has done this too many times. Although he has a very poor physique, it does not mean that he will not kill people.
He was able to climb step by step to the position of Grenz Wine by relying not only on his intelligence ability.
Yuma Tsujimoto put on the spare protective suit in the room and used the skill [Role Play] to transform himself into a doctor. He didn't have much time, and he didn't know when he would lose his memory, so he could only seize every opportunity to escape from here.
He remembered how to leave this small laboratory, or rather, he remembered the number and location of each laboratory.
Walking out from here, you will pass through a very remote alley, and after passing through it, you will arrive at the slightly more lively street.
The power outage must have been caused by someone involved. He cannot waste this opportunity and must go out and find the person involved immediately.
Yuma Tsujimoto dragged the doctor's hand and pressed the fingerprint switch, then staggered forward according to his gradually fading memory.
Rusty doors... narrow alleys... busy streets...
No, it was not yet completely light outside, and even if he returned to the street, he would not be able to contact others immediately.
The Black Organization will find him! Bring him back!
That kind of thing must never happen again! He must run away! He must leave this damn place!!!
But with every step, Yuma Tsujimoto's steps became more shaky. Intense exercise speeds up blood circulation, and the drug's effect will take effect faster than expected.
When he had completely lost the strength to walk, Yuma Tsujimoto finally fell headfirst and could never get up again.
The nausea in his chest gradually rose up, like a sharp spike, piercing his chest again and again. Even breathing became extremely difficult.
As his consciousness and memory dissipated, the [Role Play] gradually lost its effect, and the silver-haired young man curled up on the ground in pain, his fingers slightly clenched.
It would be nice if the first person I saw when I woke up was Sheren.
He will come to save him, he will.
The cold rain gradually fell, wetting the dry, rough concrete floor and the floating dust.
The man with short light chestnut hair pushed up his glasses and held up the transparent umbrella in his hand, but he gradually stopped when he saw a certain figure.
It was a man who had passed out.
He was wearing something strange, more like some kind of hazmat suit, and it didn't fit him well.
But he was so thin that he was almost wrapped in the clothes. He looked like a wild cat abandoned on the roadside. His whole body was soaked by the rain and he looked frail and weak.
If we don't rescue him, he will probably die.
Okiya Subaru sighed helplessly. He had originally planned to go to the supermarket early to see what ingredients he could buy. He even took a shortcut to save time, but he didn't expect to encounter unprecedented trouble.
"Are you okay? Do you need help?"
He half-knelt down with his umbrella and tapped the other person's face lightly with his fingers to see if he was still awake.
It would be better to call the police, right? And call an ambulance at the same time...
But just as Okiya Subaru took out his cell phone to make a call, he noticed that the other person's fingers gently grasped his sleeve. At the same time, the man's soft voice rang out in the rain.
"Don't call the police, don't tell anyone."
The pair of indigo eyes stared at him, as if all hopes were placed on him.
"Take me back."
·
“It’s raining.”
Shigetto Tsujimoto looked out the window wet by the rain, his thoughts inexplicably becoming a little dazed.
This was his second day back in the Investigation Division, and unfortunately, it happened to be a rainy day, which he hated the most.
"You didn't forget to bring an umbrella, did you?" Matsuda Jinpei's voice rang in my ears.
"I brought it." Tsujimoto Shigetsu replied.
"I just said there was a chance it would rain, but I didn't expect it to actually rain."
A 50 percent probability means it will become 100 percent if it happens.
It's all the same to him anyway.
That night he had wanted to help organize the data after waking up, but when he woke up naturally, he found that all the data had already been organized.
The alarm he had set was turned off, and he didn't know who took him back to the hospital, but he slept soundly that time.
It should be Inspector Furuya who helped to sort it out...
I always feel like I'm bothering others again.
According to the original plan, he once again returned to the Investigation Division. With Inspector Furutani backing him up, Tsujimoto Shigetsu felt reassured.
However, he also went to handle the transfer to the Public Security Bureau, which surprised Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara.
"You want to transfer to the Public Security Division? Why?" Jinpei Matsuda was puzzled.
"No reason, I was planning to transfer anyway." Shigetto Tsujimoto yawned.
"From now on, Matsuda-kun will be the senior of the Investigation Division 1. When new people come, you should stop bullying them."
"Hey, hey, hey! Do I look like the type who would bully the younger generation?" Jinpei Matsuda couldn't believe it.
"Pfft, isn't Xiao Zhenping obviously very similar? A very troublesome senior or something~"
"Hagi! You actually spoke for him!!"
…
I feel so sleepy.
The feeling of fatigue came over him in waves. Shigetto Tsujimoto lay on the table, feeling weak all over.
The physical value has teetered back to the edge of seventy. If I work harder, it may reach seventy.
Or maybe he was just too anxious.
He couldn't calm down every time it came to Yuma, which was not good, but he couldn't completely ignore it.
It was terrible, in every sense of the word.
Noticing that Shigeto Tsujimoto was lying on the table listlessly and his face did not look very well, Kenji Hagiwara felt vaguely uneasy.
What happened to Shigeto Tsujimoto? He looked listless since he came back today.
And there are still some residual injuries on his body... Did something happen to him? ?
Out of concern, Kenji Hagiwara also consulted Inspector Furutani, who said that Tsujimoto was accidentally injured while solving a case halfway, so he had some scars.
But...is it really that simple?
"If it really doesn't work, do you want to take half a day off? Your mental state is very worrying." Jinpei Matsuda also felt that the other party's condition was not very good.
"Still taking a holiday? I've already had so many days off. Even if it's paid leave, it's a bit too much, right?" Shiguto Tsujimoto said with a wry smile.
"Inspector Furuya is protecting you anyway. If you are involved in a crime, you should be brave sometimes and just take a six-month paid vacation!"
“Pfft—I would like to…”
"Speaking of which, there was a big piece of news last night! Do you remember Hanyu Ibuki? The one who was in jail!" A police officer from the Investigation Division whispered.
"He actually escaped from prison!! God knows how he made a bomb to blow up the back wall!! This is too scary!!"
"I know, but this case seems to have been taken over by the public security department. It seems very serious, right?" Hagiwara Kenji also showed a serious expression.
"Is that guy going to come looking for Sheren again? We Sheren can't stand repeated torture." Matsuda Jinpei became alert.
Everyone knew that A was hostile to Shigeto Tsujimoto, so they subconsciously linked Shigeto Tsujimoto's current situation to A.
Could it be that A has caused trouble again? ?
"Yes. I am very weak now and need your love and care..." Shigetto Tsujimoto teased slowly.
"So don't think too much about me. I'm just sick and I've been discharged from the hospital."
"Really? You mean the kind of fragile that can easily throw Mazda-chan over the head?"
"Hagi!!"
…
As expected, I still can't go back to the past. I can't stop thinking about Yuma.
But it doesn't work.
He has to wait, wait for the best time.
Only with 100 percent accuracy can he make an accurate shot.
At this moment, the sound of A's message came through the earphone. Tsujimoto Shigetsu was refreshed and stood up quickly.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
His heart was pounding, and he left everyone's sight without looking back.
As the silver-haired young man suddenly left, everyone in the Investigation Section gradually fell silent.
As expected, Tsujimoto Shigetsu's attitude is still very strange.
So what did Shi Ren go through during the time he was away? ?
