Chapter 36
From the moment he entered the door, Shigetto Tsujimoto noticed that there was something wrong with the guy.
Whether from his movements or his expression, he seemed to not want others to notice him. This was not the most important thing. The important thing was that… Shigeto Tsujimoto always felt that the man in front of him looked familiar.
His memory went back several years and he seemed to have seen this man.
He also met him at Beihu Shopping Mall that time. The man walked past him as if nothing had happened, lowered his cap, and walked out the door pretending to know nothing, just like this time.
Shigeto Tsujimoto could not quite remember the other person's name, but he still remembered the bomber's face.
So he decisively chased after him.
The man walked up the stairs, and Shigeto Tsujimoto followed him up the stairs. He kept a proper distance from the other person and occasionally observed the movement of the barrage with his peripheral vision.
He and Gin were going in opposite directions, and it seemed that the other party just came here by accident. As long as he was careful not to be discovered by the other party, there would be no problem.
At this time, the status of the bullet screen current affairs report is very important.
Although the main perspective is still on his side, once he arrives at the Beihu Shopping Mall, all the scenes happening inside are seen by the audience on the bullet screen, which happens to become his indirect camera.
To be precise, he knows everything that happens in this building.
"drop--"
At this moment, a voice came from Shigeto Tsujimoto's communicator. Shigeto Tsujimoto saw the words [Morobushi Kagemitsu] written on the interface, and his heart moved slightly.
He answered the phone with his backhand.
"What's wrong? Is there any new news to tell you..."
"I found your brother!
"Zhu Fu Jingguang said nervously,
"Where are you now?? I'll take Yuma to find you!!"
Found Yuma! ?
After hearing this, Shigeto Tsujimoto's eyes widened slightly, and his whole spirit became lifted.
"Where are you now?" asked Shigetto Tsujimoto in a low voice.
"Seventh floor... the top floor." Zhu Fu Jingguang hesitated for a moment and continued,
"I gave him the gun, and now he is basically in a state of being held hostage, so I need you to come over and explain..."
"Being held? Are you?" Shigetsu Tsujimoto was bewildered.
"Because Youzhen doesn't believe me, I can only do this." said Morobushi Kagemitsu.
"Thanks a lot……"
Shigetsu Tsujimoto sighed helplessly, but soon felt relieved.
He didn't know why, but when he knew that Morofushi Kagemitsu was with Tsujimoto Yuma, he suddenly felt at ease.
Are you going back just like this?
Looking at the bomber tiptoeing away, Tsujimoto Shigetsu hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision.
I have to go back. Once Yushin Tsujimoto's memory is restored, he must meet me. He will definitely not abandon his brother.
But he couldn't just abandon the bomber and ignore him, after all, the lives of innocent people on the entire floor were at stake.
It turns out that we still have to solve the problem at hand first.
"I met a bomber, probably the one who escaped from the police a few years ago." Shigetto Tsujimoto whispered.
"Take Yuma and walk around first, don't let them get discovered... The people from the Black Organization have already caught up with us. I will send you their location in real time, be careful not to get targeted."
"Bomb killer!?"
Morofushi Jingguang's face changed.
Of course, he remembered the bomber who was involved in his class several years ago. The source of Tsujimoto's bilateral deafness came from that bombing.
However, he was still stunned for a moment when Shigeto Tsujimoto said these words in such a calm tone.
"I can solve it quickly, don't worry about me. I wouldn't say this if I wasn't 100% sure." Tsujimoto said.
"Keep an eye on Yuma. I'll be relieved if it's you. Remember to tell Officer Furuya to evacuate as many people as possible, but don't make any surprises."
Click.
Tsujimoto hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone in his hand, Zhu Fu Jingguang felt tired.
In the end, we still couldn’t meet soon…
"You said my brother would come to see me."
Yuma Tsujimoto looked at him warily, still holding the gun given by the other party.
"Where is he? I want to see him."
"He came late. It seems he encountered some troubles." Zhu Fujingguang put down his phone and said truthfully.
"Trouble? Is he being targeted?" Yuma Tsujimoto narrowed his eyes, seemingly not believing what he said at all.
"Yes."
The black-haired, blue-eyed young man looked at the other party. He seemed to ignore the gun that the other party was holding tightly, but his tone was still gentle.
"Would you like to eat something? I remember that you like desserts. The Taiyaki and Red Bean Daifuku on the fifth floor are both delicious."
"Do you think you can buy me off with dessert?" Tsujimoto Yuma snorted.
"Don't think I'm someone you can easily buy off with sweets. Also, even if you give me a gun, it doesn't mean I will trust you!"
"How about unlimited cake coupons? There is a very popular cake shop in Beihu Mall, and I happen to have a VIP membership card. We can go and buy some now." Zhu Fu Jingguang was not angry, and discussed with the other party calmly.
This card was given to him by Yuma Tsujimoto during his time in the Black Organization. He never expected that it would come in handy now.
He was sure that part of the reason for the other party's visit was to buy cakes.
“…”
The other person's expression began to waver.
"If I really wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't wait until this moment. And your preferences are only known to those close to you."
When the other party wavered, Morofu Jingguang also began to persuade him.
"I used to work for you, so I can cook the food you like. If you don't believe me, I can show you how to cook it later."
"All right."
Yuma Tsujimoto hesitated for a while, and finally put down the gun reluctantly.
He still didn't believe the man in front of him.
But now he seemed to have no other choice. His physical skills were obviously inferior to his opponent's. After the action just now, he also realized the difference in physique between him and his opponent, so he must not act recklessly.
As for the gun given to him by the other party... Yuma Tsujimoto still didn't understand.
What is this? Is he trying to be nice to him? Or is he trying to get closer to him? Or is he finding something to gain from him? Or is he trying to make amends for something he did to himself in the past?
There were too many possibilities, and he couldn't analyze them one by one.
However, since the other party was obviously showing goodwill to him and he was indeed in a disadvantageous position, Yuma Tsujimoto still felt that it was more important to reach a temporary reconciliation.
"I was too anxious just now. Did I hurt you accidentally?"
Seeing that the other party seemed to have let go of his guard a little, Morobu Kagemitsu's gaze shifted to the other party's wrist.
"Am I that fragile? Why is it so painful?" Tsujimoto Yuma sneered and hid his hands behind his back.
"Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to buy dessert? We agreed in advance that you pay."
"Okay." Zhufu Jingguang agreed.
What a weirdo.
It wasn't that he had done anything to offend her, it was just that feeling was all too familiar.
It seems like we have been together long enough that we have become so familiar with each other that we even know every detail of each other's lives.
But... this feeling doesn't seem so bad.
·
"I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this."
When a voice suddenly sounded behind Okiya Subaru, the chestnut-haired man looked behind him, and his eyes, which had been smiling all the time, finally opened a line.
The blond-haired, dark-skinned man was standing not far from him, and the moment their eyes met, they knew what was going on.
"Really? I'm surprised too." Okiya Subaru pushed his glasses up.
"What do you want to see me about?"
"I think you should know clearly what happened to you." Furuya Rei hugged his arms.
"Don't you know who you brought back?"
Okiya Subaru was lost in thought.
Okiya Subaru realized.
"Are you talking about the person I picked up a few days ago?" Okiya Subaru still looked very good-tempered.
"I'm about to report this to the police. Is there anything wrong?"
"You didn't call the police immediately and hid for a long time. Do you think I don't know what you want to use him for?" Furiya Rei said with a smile.
"Really? But he stayed here voluntarily. I didn't imprison him illegally, nor did I force him to do anything." Okiya Subaru pushed his glasses in confusion.
"Everything he did was of his own volition, wasn't it?"
The atmosphere between the two seemed to become tense. As an old rival who had not seen each other for a long time, Furuya Rei naturally knew more than a little about Akai Shuichi.
After all, they had fought together on the Ferris wheel, so it's normal for him to dislike me.
"I've already said this, so what do you want to do?" Okiya Subaru stared at him with his green eyes.
"I need you to provide all the information you know. And all the information you know about him." said Furuya Rei.
"I refuse. My personal information has nothing to do with the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department. But I can tell you other information."
As the tension between the two men gradually decreased, the people around them also unconsciously wanted to move aside. It seemed that these two men had some kind of hatred or grudge, and no one knew when they would start fighting.
"Okay, let's exchange information, okay?"
The first person to compromise was actually Rei Furuya. He took off his hat, and his gray-purple pupils regained their usual fake smile.
"But I need to exchange information with you after everything is over. Before that, we have to find Yuma Tsujimoto, the police officer's brother, right?"
"Hasn't he been staying at home all the time?" Okiya Subaru was slightly stunned.
"Don't you know he followed you out?" Furiya Rei was also surprised.
“…”
The two were silent for a moment, and then rushed downstairs at the same time.
·
Shigetto Tsujimoto opened his eyes again in the crowd.
The paradox simulation quickly scanned the location of the bomb. Shigetto Tsujimoto informed Furuya Rei of the location in advance and asked him to arrange for people from the Explosives Department to come and deal with it.
As for the bomber, Shigeto Tsujimoto was very curious about his next move.
He seemed to have pried open the door lock of the distribution room and changed into staff clothes, appearing to be well prepared.
After the other person entered the house, Shigetsu Tsujimoto naturally followed him into the house. Maybe it was because his actions were too natural, the other person didn't react for a while after Shigetsu Tsujimoto entered the house, and just stared at him blankly like an idiot.
"Hello." Tsujimoto Shigetsu greeted naturally.
"What are you doing? Are you planting a bomb? What's your purpose? It's better to tell the truth."
“You you you you!!!”
The bomber took a step back, a look of fear in his eyes.
"How did you know??? Who are you? Why did you follow me here?"
"You've forgotten something that happened several years ago. You really have a bad memory." Shigetto Tsujimoto teased.
The expression on the face of the bomber in the duckbill cap froze for a few seconds. The dim sunlight outside the window fell on the man in front of him. The face he had seen countless times on the news and the pair of azure blue eyes that he would never forget in his life seemed to gradually pull back long-lost memories.
Of course he remembered it.
His original revenge plan was ruined by this bastard who appeared out of nowhere.
Although he also paid the price of losing his hearing and even needs hearing aids to recover his life, every time he saw the smile on the other person's face, the feeling of disgust surged up like a tide again.
Why don't you just die!!!
Why can you still live in public so dazzlingly, and why must I live like a rat in the gutter? !
All the anger and hatred that had accumulated until now had finally made him want revenge.
He had chosen today carefully, hoping for a world-shattering explosion, but he was caught by the other side.
But it's okay this way.
Since he's here, he might as well take care of the other party. Isn't this a good opportunity for revenge?
A distorted smile gradually appeared on the bomber's face, but the man in front of him still had an indifferent attitude and was even staring into the air in a daze.
Does he really know his current situation? How dare he threaten him?
"So what if you knew?" The bomber smiled maliciously and raised the remote control in his hand.
"I have installed seven or eight bombs in the Beihu shopping mall! As long as I press the remote control, they will explode at the same time! No one here will survive!!"
"Okay, go ahead and press it then." Shigeto Tsujimoto opened the panel and checked the information. After confirming that all the bombs were removed, he felt relieved.
"I have already dismantled the bomb. Do you have anything else to say?"
Bomber: ...
The bomber: ???
Dismantle, dismantle completed? ?
What a joke! How could he have dismantled them all?? He had hidden every bomb very well! He had been planning this for a long time! How could he have dismantled them all in a short time!?
"If you don't believe it, you can press it and see." said Shigenobu Tsujimoto.
There is no way, the paradox simulation is indeed very useful to some extent. Bombs and the like can be found by simply scanning.
"Shut up! You damn bastard..."
"I should hate you more." Tsujimoto Shigetsu said calmly.
"I didn't do anything wrong. Your companion was hit with good intentions, but you have never been on the side of justice since you held the bomb."
"To be precise, you have brought this upon yourself."
"SHUT UP!!!"
The bomb was about to explode. He glanced at the spare bomb placed nearby and his eyes turned cold.
"Well, since you don't intend to let me go, then I will--"
"Bang!!"
Before the bomber could rush over, Shigeto Tsujimoto suddenly appeared in front of him and punched him hard in the abdomen. His punches followed closely on his chin and chest, and he ended with a back throw, completely depriving him of the ability to resist.
“Wow!!!”
The bomber lay on the ground in pain, but saw the opponent's shoes staying in front of his sight, and the next second, Shigeto Tsujimoto grabbed his hair and forced him to look up.
"Go on. I'm listening."
He remained calm and even smiled, which inexplicably made him feel creepy.
"I...I was wrong..." the bomber stammered.
"I give up resistance, please take me back."
No match at all.
The opponent's reaction ability and speed were one dimension faster than his. He didn't even see how the opponent threw the punch before he was thrown to the ground.
"That's good." Tsujimoto nodded.
"Someone will take you away soon. I have confiscated your bomb. Reflect on your actions in the switch room and be more careful in your next life."
He was already in a bad mood. He finally got the chance to see his brother, but was delayed for so long because of this guy.
He had already hit her lightly. If he hadn't been in a hurry, he would have wanted to hit her a few more times.
The bomber, whose face was bruised and black, was soon tied up like a dumpling by Tsujimoto Shigeru. He huddled in a corner trembling, fearing that the other party would punch him again if he was unhappy.
"Phew, now there's no problem." Tsujimoto Shigetsu breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's about time to go back... huh?"
However, just as Shigetsu Tsujimoto was about to push the door open, a large barrage of comments suddenly appeared in front of him. Everyone seemed very anxious, and the densely packed words made it almost impossible to see the scene in front of him clearly.
[Oh shit, shit, shit!! Don’t open the door! Why did the Black Organization suddenly show up at this time? ? Damn! Why!!]
[Don’t go in, don’t go in, don’t go in! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! My baby, don’t open the door!!]
…
Gin is outside?
Shigetsu Tsujimoto immediately stopped opening the door and locked it instead.
At the same time, A also sent a message to Tsujimoto:
"Senior!! They went to the fifth floor!! Please be careful!!"
"The news is too late." Tsujimoto Shigetsu said coldly.
"Can't you just keep Gin in one place and not let him go?"
"Ah... I can do it for others, but I really can't do it for Gin." A's tone was helpless.
"You mean, besides Gin, you can control the movements of other people?" Tsujimoto Shigetsu grasped the key point of the mission.
"How long can we keep such restrictions?"
"Within half an hour, it's no problem! Anyway, Bermode didn't come this time, and the other people don't have much brains. Chianti is squatting at the door, and Cohen is also wandering around on the first floor. But the one who cares about you the most should be the Gin Bar?" A muttered.
"If the others cannot receive Gin's orders, they will not leave their original place. Then I can send the error order on behalf of Gin to transfer them away."
"Okay, I understand." Tsujimoto Shigetsu understood.
"Also, don't call others stupid with your IQ. It's kind of funny."
"Woo..."
After hanging up the phone indifferently, Shigetto Tsujimoto began to think about how to trap Gin temporarily.
After all, he has to meet Yuma Tsujimoto, and Gin will definitely be an obstacle.
He had to find a way to temporarily detain Gin somewhere.
Shigetsu Tsujimoto lowered his head and thought, but his eyes gradually looked in another direction.
The bomber, who was tied up tightly by Tsujimoto Shigeto and even had a swollen face, looked particularly miserable. He noticed the thoughtful look that the other party cast at him and shuddered subconsciously.
"You, what do you want to do?? I really don't know anything... I really don't know..."
"Can you help me? You should know how to install a bomb, right?" Tsujimoto Shigetsu smiled politely.
"ah???"
Looking at the other person's kind smile, the bomber almost stopped thinking.
"What is the approximate explosion range of your spare bomb?" asked Shigetto Tsujimoto.
"Oh, by the way, you'd better tell the truth. I will let you stay on the edge of the bomb explosion. If you lie, you will probably be the first to die."
"It can probably blow up half a floor." The bomber's face was almost frozen.
"That's great. If the area isn't too large, it'll be easy to attack." Shigeto Tsujimoto untied the ropes on the man and said in a light tone.
"I need you to do me a small favor."
·
"Are you sure that guy is here?"
Faced with A's information, Gin was already a little impatient.
"Of course, isn't this the information you found out yourselves? How do I know if your information is true?" Alaska showed a disdainful expression.
"Heh... I don't trust your loyalty to the organization." Gin sneered.
"Do you think I will trust you if you have betrayed me twice?"
"It's so funny. That's because the boss said he would trust me. Besides, I don't want your trust. The trust of my seniors is enough for me." Alaska said sharply.
"You think he still trusts you? That's ridiculous."
"Tsk! You'll know for yourself when the time comes!!"
Alaska is actually quite depressing.
Obviously, Shigeto Tsujimoto already trusts me!! He even gave me a way to contact him privately!! No matter how you look at it, his relationship with Shigeto is better than Gin!!
Senior Shigetsu hates being forced to do something. Gin did something so outrageous before, Shigetsu must have started to hate him!!
The person that Shinobi trusts the most is obviously himself! !
With this inexplicable confidence, Alaska became even more energetic. He was not afraid of death, so he was not afraid of anything when he was a traitor. However, he was still meticulous in the areas where he should be meticulous, just as he was meticulous in doing things before.
“Ding Dong——”
The communicator vibrated, and Tsujimoto Shigetsu quickly sent a message, but then withdrew it a few seconds later.
[Let Gin go to the seventh floor.]
It was a very brief message, and attached was a photo sent by Shigeto Tsujimoto. In the sparse crowd, the short silver hair was particularly eye-catching.
"Gin!!" Alaska rushed forward with its tail wagging, almost shoving the information in the opponent's face.
"There's news!! Shigemoto is on the seventh floor!!!"
Great, Mr. Shiburen! Let's take this opportunity to push Gin directly into the pit! !
