Chapter 40

"You mean, you plan to appear in front of the public again in your brother's place?"

After learning about Yuma Tsujimoto's thoughts, Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Yeah, is that weird?"

The silver-haired young man sitting on the hospital bed slowly opened the thermos, and the fragrance of sweet porridge soon filled his face.

During this time, Yuma Tsujimoto was mainly recuperating in the hospital, and was mainly taken care of by Kagemitsu Morobushi. Of course, Yuma Tsujimoto himself was not idle either, as the public security department also had a lot of intelligence cracking tasks that required Yuma Tsujimoto's help.

All the information about Yuma Tsujimoto in the public security department has long been destroyed, and most of the people who knew Yuma Tsujimoto are no longer around.

But with Inspector Furutani as a guarantee, Yuma Tsujimoto's trustworthiness is still very high.

So theoretically it was a rest, but actually he rested a lot.

Most of the time, Yuma Tsujimoto rarely communicates with the outside world. Since returning to the hospital, apart from occasionally talking to Kagemitsu Morobushi, he either pretends to be asleep or works when other people come. He is so aloof that the nurses think he is a difficult person to get along with.

Such an honor made Zhu Fu Jingguang feel a little amused and helpless, but it was better to keep silent. At least it was better than confronting everyone he met in the Black Organization.

"At least we have to show up in public. My brother and I have discussed this issue." Tsujimoto Yuma raised his eyes.

"The Black Organization didn't fully trust him, so he explained to the Black Organization that [a suitable substitute was arranged to take his place], and I needed to take care of the subsequent worries for my brother."

"Did he agree?" Zhufu Jingguang was a little worried.

"Of course. But I won't stay for too long, because I have to go back to the Black Organization in a month. Of course, I will go there in disguise." Tsujimoto Yuma said casually.

"My brother said that he felt that even if he forced me to stay here, I would not obey orders, so he simply asked me to take action after a month."

Morofushi Kagemitsu: ...

This is something that only someone who knows his brother well would do, right?

"Don't worry, I'm not a weak girl who needs protection. What are you thinking about?" When Yuma Tsujimoto noticed that Morobushi Kagemitsu's expression began to become vague, he said dissatisfiedly.

"Of course not." Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head.

"I just think..."

"Just a feeling?" Yuma Tsujimoto's eyes became sharp.

"You may be good at work, but you don't take care of yourself." Zhu Fujingguang said seriously.

"I promised your brother to take good care of you, so I won't leave you."

"…What kind of corny things are you saying?!" Yuma Tsujimoto almost got furious.

"Ah, is that corny?" Morobushi Kagemitsu suddenly realized, "Yuma doesn't seem to be able to respond to other people's kindness. Is this considered shyness?"

"Shut up! Stop talking! If you keep talking, get out of here!"

In short, after successfully raising the cat's favorability, Morofushi Kagemitsu also had some understanding of Tsujimoto Yuma's personality, and at the same time knew how to please him.

It's not bad to tease him occasionally. After all, Yuma Tsujimoto sometimes stays up late at night because he is obsessed with work, and this also needs to be corrected.

However, Morofushi Kagemitsu can indeed help a lot in terms of intelligence. Tsujimoto Yuma is very happy to discuss with him about password cracking and some complex program fabrication methods. Only in this situation can Morofushi Kagemitsu feel that Tsujimoto Yuma is indeed not simple.

He only needs to read a very complicated program once to remember it completely. His memory is amazing. He also has a strong learning ability, but because his brain works too fast, Morobushi Jingguang often can't keep up with his pace.

Yuma Tsujimoto can indeed provide great help to Shigenori Tsujimoto's work. It is equivalent to having an additional remote assistance computer, and work efficiency can be greatly improved.

"By the way, did you ever tell me when you would return my docking device to me?" asked Yushin Tsujimoto.

Yuma Tsujimoto was talking about his earring, which was disguised as a communicator and has never been returned to him after being found by Kagemitsu Morobushi. This was also the order of Shigeto Tsujimoto. He could not do anything for this month and had no way to contact his brother.

"He said he would return it to you in a month." Zhufu Jingguang said,

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Isn't it?" Tsujimoto Yuu was a little angry.

"Forget it. A month isn't long anyway. We can talk about it when the time comes."

One month...

If he were my brother, he should be able to deal with Gin and the others easily, right?

With adequate preparation and knowledge of Organization X, my brother should be able to handle it.

The only problem that I am more worried about is the boss of the Black Organization.

Yuma Tsujimoto didn't know much about this BOSS. He did hear that the BOSS of the Black Organization seemed to have had dealings with Organization X, but that was all.

Unknown enemies are always the most terrifying. When Shigeto Tsujimoto faced that man, he was not sure that he would be on the winning side.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Fujingguang looked at him.

"Nothing, I just want to go out for a walk..."

Yuma Tsujimoto lowered his eyes and casually tied his long silver hair up in a loose bun behind his head. The dark circles under his eyes seemed to be more obvious.

"I'm a little tired and want to relax."

"Haven't you been able to sleep lately?"

"Um."

…

Rather, this kind of reaction was indeed within Morobushi Kagemitsu's expectations.

Every time he talked about things related to the people involved, Yuma Tsujimoto looked very listless. Although Morobushi Kagemitsu carefully helped him adjust his body during this period, it was difficult for him to adjust his mental state.

"Don't worry about me. You should worry more about yourself than about that kind of thing." Yuma Tsujimoto lifted the quilt and covered the thermos bucket again.

"Go for a walk with me."

But he also noticed something was wrong.

Recently, he seemed to notice a strange gaze all around him. At first, he thought he was just too tired, but a week later, he confirmed that someone was secretly watching him.

However, the surveillance time is not fixed. Only when Zhu Fu Jingguang comes, the line of sight will become more obvious.

Could it be that... someone is targeting Morofushi Jingguang?

This is impossible. Zhufu Jingguang usually goes out in disguise. How is it possible that someone knows his true identity?

Or is it that the other party is targeting Morobushi Kagemitsu because of other reasons?

Yuma Tsujimoto fell into deep thought.

"Hey, does this patient want to go for a walk? Please be safe."

The nurse who passed by greeted him politely with a very friendly smile on her face.

"Is it the new nurse?" Yuma Tsujimoto looked behind him.

"Yes." Zhu Fujingguang also looked back.

"Just came here a week ago. Any questions?"

"Nothing." Tsujimoto Yuma looked away.

"You're just being watched."

"Targeted?" Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned.

"I don't have any evidence that you can believe, or maybe this is just my intuition," said Yushin Tsujimoto.

"I have been very sensitive to my surroundings since I was a child. I will notice if someone looks at me twice."

"……I see."

The two of them walked one after the other without talking to each other.

Of course, Morofushi Kagemitsu believed in Tsujimoto Yuuma's intuition, and he also felt that someone was targeting him.

But... he still couldn't figure out who would target him at this time.

"Wow! Is that Officer Tsujimoto?!"

Just as the two were thinking, a childish voice suddenly rang out.

Yuma Tsujimoto and Kagemitsu Morofushi looked forward at the same time, and saw a young man wearing glasses looking at him curiously, with confusion in his eyes.

who??

Yuma Tsujimoto immediately became alert, and subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Kagemitsu Morofushi.

"Conan! You are so rude! How can you ask someone like that so casually!" The girl with horns on her head quickly rushed forward and hugged the little boy, while showing an apologetic smile to Yuma Tsujimoto.

"I'm sorry, this kid has the wrong person... Eh? But he really does look like Officer Tsujimoto."

Is he an acquaintance of your brother?

Yuma Tsujimoto became even more alert.

"You've got the wrong person. I'm not that police officer Tsujimoto." Yuma Tsujimoto then spoke cautiously.

"Isn't it?" Conan made an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I do have some blood relationship with him, but we haven't seen each other for a long time." Yuma Tsujimoto half-knelt down, looked directly into Conan's eyes, put his finger on his lips, and smiled:

"Don't tell anyone, understand?"

Edogawa Conan: ...

Although he guessed that the other party might have some relationship with Tsujimoto Shigetsu, this smile is too creepy!! My spine is starting to feel cold!!

Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at Tsujimoto Yuma with some surprise, probably not expecting that he would directly reveal his identity.

"So that's it! You're brothers or something like that? You really look alike!" Mao Lilan suddenly realized.

"Yes, but my health has not been very good, so I am recuperating in the hospital." Tsujimoto Yuma smiled.

"It's just that my brother is busy and doesn't come to see me often. I can understand him."

"It's really troublesome to be in poor health..."

…

The boss probably already knew the true identity of [Yuuma Tsujimoto], otherwise he wouldn't have let the doctor attack him.

Once the balance is broken, there is no need to continue.

It was easy to create a fake identity, after all, he was not in a good condition to play a role. In that case, he might as well take the opportunity to get close to those who knew his brother, and maybe he could get unexpected information.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then parted ways. Yuma Tsujimoto looked at the two people behind him and also noticed their conversation.

"Oh, Yuanzi is really careless. He originally planned to climb the mountain, but ended up hurting himself again..."

"Don't worry, Xiaolan! Sonoko will be fine!"

Conan Edogawa, whose real name is Kudo Shinichi, was drugged by the Black Organization and turned into a child. He stayed behind his girlfriend to lurk. He has a rich record of battles so far, and it seems that he has wiped out half of Vermode. From this perspective, he is indeed very powerful.

Maori Ran, the daughter of Maori Kogoro, is very good at karate and can probably fight with her brother.

Suzuki Sonoko, the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, is of noble birth, but has a good relationship with Mouri Ran and others. It is said that her boyfriend is the ceiling of combat power in this world, so try not to provoke him if possible.

Then when these people come together...

Yuma Tsujimoto looked at the bullet screen expressionlessly.

[Of course there is a murder going on!!!]

Haha, it seems that Mihua Hospital is not a safe place.

·

Shigeru Tsujimoto was very sad.

Not long after he returned to the organization, the inhumane boss who wanted to exploit employees assigned him tons of tasks, obviously intending to squeeze out his value.

The most important task is to obtain intelligence on [Currinan], a senior official of Organization X.

The three major cadres of Organization X, [Hope], [Carmen] and [Curinan], respectively control the intelligence related to Organization X. Among them, [Hope] mainly controls the core technology of Organization X, [Carmen] is responsible for managing the internal structure of Organization X, and [Curinan] is responsible for trade and intelligence collation.

These three people fled after the disbandment of Organization X, and only recently have we gained some intelligence on them.

Cullinan seems to have returned to Japan, which slightly alarmed the Black Organization. It is said that Cullinan is a very ruthless Russian strongman. He is also the only one among the three cadres who has revealed his appearance, so his appearance will be noticed by the Black Organization in the first time.

In addition, Tsujimoto also had to manage some arms trade within the organization, conduct a small internal intelligence exchange, and steal intelligence from the public security department.

The most terrifying thing is that all these tasks have to be completed within half a month.

There is no one in this world except Gin who is used to such a high level of missions.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Bermode always liked to slack off.

"Can I protest?" Shigetto Tsujimoto looked at Bourbon sadly.

"I'm sorry, but you can't." Bourbon patted his shoulder.

"My missions are about the same intensity. It's okay. Just get used to it."

He doesn't want to get used to this kind of thing! ! Bourbon, you are a little too scary! ! You completed so many tasks at once and even worked five jobs. Are you really different from others? !

"Bourbon."

Shigetsu Tsujimoto reached out his hand in hatred and patted the other person's shoulder.

"You are the most powerful person I have ever met."

Bourbon: "...Ah, that's an exaggeration."

Shigetsu Tsujimoto: "Can you help me with some of the tasks?"

"I'm sorry, you still have to complete your task by yourself." Bourbon rejected his request with a cold and ruthless attitude.

So Shigeto Tsujimoto looked even more depressed.

"What if I can't finish it? Will my salary be deducted?" Shigetsu Tsujimoto felt that his hair was falling out.

"Can I leave all these tasks to Gin?"

"If both parties agree, then theoretically it is possible. After all, you are partners," Bourbon affirmed.

"It's decided then." Shigeto Tsujimoto closed the mission report and made a decisive decision.

Gin, I'm very sorry, but if you and A work together, you will be able to complete the mission perfectly!

However, he still planned to complete Cullinan's mission by himself. After all, this mission was also very important to him.

He also needs to gradually obtain more information about Organization X.

The boss of the Black Organization seems to be very jealous of Pandora, which means that he and Pandora do not have a very good relationship, and it can even be said that he wants to completely destroy him.

Pandora, known as the stone of immortality, is probably what the Black Organization has been pursuing.

After finishing the work assignment, Gin clutched the paper of the task report with a dark face, and his expression was obviously very bad.

"You actually threw all the tasks to me? Do you know what you are doing?"

"Isn't it possible to do this?" Tsujimoto looked at him in confusion.

"Partners should help each other. If you have any trouble, I will support you. After all, I am very gentle to my partners."

"Huh, it seems you haven't realized the seriousness of the problem yet." Gin narrowed his eyes.

"The organization assigned you this mission to test your loyalty, not mine. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"I know." Tsujimoto Shigetsu smiled.

"The boss didn't trust me from the beginning to the end. Do you think he will trust me after I complete a few tasks?"

"you……"

"But there is one thing I'm curious about." Shigetto Tsujimoto suddenly remembered something and asked with interest.

"Gin, why would you be loyal to the organization? The organization doesn't really mean that much to you. This isn't a place worthy of being called home."

"Don't you think it's funny that you ask such a question?" The silver-haired man sitting opposite him lowered his hat, his green eyes hidden in the shadows filled with hostility.

"Who do you think brought me into the Black Organization?"

Even though he was the source of everything, the problem was naturally thrown onto him.

Does he really know what he is talking about?

"That's true. If I leave the Black Organization, will you abandon the Black Organization and leave with me?"

Shigeto Tsujimoto looked at him, his tone sounding casual, but actually he was very serious.

"I thought this boring quiz game should have ended long ago." Gin sneered.

"You are avoiding the question. If you think it won't happen, why don't you just give me a direct answer?" Shigetto Tsujimoto half-supported his chin, but his tone was strangely gentle.

"Or are you unable to face this problem in your heart?"

“…”

The atmosphere was instantly tense, and the two of them maintained a strange balance point. With just a little effort, this balance would be broken.

"Answer me, Gin."

Shigeto Tsujimoto repeated the question once again in an imperative tone.

“Crack.”

The sound of a gun being loaded answered him. Before Tsujimoto could react, a black shadow came down on him and forcibly restrained him. The barrel of the Bretta gun was pressed against his chin, and the cold touch made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Shut up."

The pair of angry green eyes stared at him, as if Tsujimoto Shigetsu's words had touched his scalp.

"You're scared." Shigeto Tsujimoto was forced to raise his head, but he didn't care about the other party's coercive suppression.

"Since you pose a certain threat to the organization, I will eliminate you on behalf of the organization, that's all." Gin said in a low voice.

"Really? But your hands are shaking."

Tsujimoto Shigetsu's smile deepened. He gently placed his hand on the hand holding the gun, and his deep blue eyes became even deeper.

His voice seemed to have a certain allure, yet it also made people subconsciously sense danger.

He knew the other side would not shoot.

No matter how much he hated himself, he would never shoot.

“…”

The hand finally relaxed after a moment, and Shigeto Tsujimoto held his wrist. He tilted his head and looked at the other person in confusion, not even intending to let him leave.

"What's wrong, Gin? Can't you do it?"

"If it were back then, I would probably have left." The silver-haired killer replied word by word with a frozen expression.

"Unfortunately, not anymore."

"You were young and naive back then, and indeed easy to be deceived," Shigeto Tsujimoto affirmed.

"You're still so disgusting."

"Thank you. I took that as a sarcastic remark."

When he felt the other party forcibly pull his wrist away and turn away, Shigeto Tsujimoto felt extremely happy.

"Don't forget our mission before you leave. All the tasks other than Cullinan will be handed over to you! Dear Gin~"

"…Shut up."

Phew, it looks like another big issue has been resolved.
