Chapter 42

Morofu Jingguang never thought that he would be in such a desperate situation.

When the doctor came over politely, Morobushi Jingguang had already noticed something was wrong. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a room with no light or shadow.

The man who kidnapped him seemed to be pacing back and forth, and it was obvious that he was in a very agitated, even irritable mood.

"Damn it... why hasn't that guy come yet? I've been waiting here for so long... he wouldn't lie to me!"

Zhufu Jingguang immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be still unconscious.

First of all, it is certain that although this man intends to attack him, his target is probably not himself.

And his role is probably like that of a hostage?

Morobushi Kagemitsu moved his fingers slightly, and the numbness in his body had gone. It seemed that the other party was not a cautious person, or rather... this person was not the main planner of this action, and there was someone else behind him.

Is he trying to attract Yuma over?

If that's the case, I'm afraid with Yuzhen's personality he would never come in on his own initiative.

He'd better pretend to be unconscious until anything happens.

“Crack, crack—”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the air that sounded like an electromagnetic explosion. The man seemed to be frightened and looked behind him almost reflexively.

However, the man he kidnapped was still lying there motionless, with no sign of waking up.

The man's voice suddenly became fearful.

"Carmen! You said you would save me! Don't lie to me!"

"You won't die. I told you so."

The voice on the other end of the line was a simulated electronic voice, and it was impossible to tell the gender.

"But if you don't obey my orders, I can't guarantee your safety."

"That's good, that's good."

The man pacing back and forth seemed to be relieved. He hung up the phone and continued to observe the changes on his mobile phone. At the same time, he glanced in the direction of Zhu Fu Jingguang from time to time, fearing that he had woken up.

“Click, click.”

The thrilling sound was accompanied by the flickering of the light bulbs. The whole room was already dim, and with this scene effect, it felt like a horror movie.

The man subconsciously looked around and found that there was a knock on the door in front of him. The knock was rapid and urgent, so it should be his target person.

"Are you sure it's him?" The man couldn't believe it.

"That's him. You should have brought a gun with you. Just go up and shoot him, and your mission will be accomplished." The voice on the phone was full of temptation.

"Like the guy you killed before?"

"You've already killed someone, and your hands are no longer clean. Do you think you have any way out?"

…

The young doctor showed a painful expression on his face.

"I killed Yohei Shinkawa for revenge! It was to help me survive my painful past! But the person at the door was a complete stranger to me..."

"Then it's up to you to decide whether to spend your life in jail or kill an innocent person to die for you." Carmen's voice was cold.

"Okay, okay..."

As if he had finally made a decision, the doctor walked towards the door. He held the door handle tightly with one hand and the loaded gun tightly with the other. Just as he was about to open the door, Morobushi Kagemitsu almost blurted out.

"Run!!!! Don't come in!!!"

"Bang!!!"

The sound of gunfire and shattering glass was heard suddenly, and the man looked behind him in horror, anger showing on his face.

"You are awake? That won't do. I must kill you to silence you!!!"

Zhufu Jingguang had already sat up, leaning against the wall behind him, with a sad look in his blue eyes.

"But you didn't want to kill anyone. If killing Shinkawa Yohei was just for revenge, why did you kill innocent people?"

"Shut up! You have no idea how hard life is for those of us at the bottom of society!" The man trembled as he loaded his gun again.

"I can't afford to offend those people... How much power do you think ordinary people have? Do you think we can be treated well by following the normal legal procedures? It's impossible!"

"Are you going to shoot me?" Zhu Fujingguang clenched his fingers.

"But even if you really shot him, do you think that Carmen would not kill you? If your existence has no value to him, do you really think he would let you live?"

"I……"

Morobushi Jingguang's words obviously made the man hesitate, but Carmen's sneer came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of sarcasm.

"Sure, Dr. Benyong, then it depends on whether you choose to trust this guy of unknown origin or me. He told you this just to save his life. Once you put down your gun, you will have to spend the rest of your life in prison. If you listen to me and live a good life, you can still be the respected doctor you are."

"Who do you think you would trust?"

The doctor's wrist began to tremble.

Zhu Fu Jingguang stared at the gun in the other's hand. He raised his hand and put it down again. Finally, he raised it painfully with a look of despair in his eyes.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

The doctor closed his eyes in pain.

His finger finally pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three consecutive shots hit the center of the door.

At this moment, the blood burst out like fireworks, and the shooting was so accurate that even Morofushi Jingguang was completely stunned.

The warm liquid splashed on his face, with an indescribable smell of rust. Dr. Benyong stumbled forward a few steps, looked behind him with a horrified look, and finally fell to the ground.

The silver-haired young man walked into the room expressionlessly. He closed and locked the door behind him, picked up the gun and fired two more shots.

“Bang!! Bang!!”

One shot at the heart, one shot at the brain.

Crisp and neat.

Morobushi Jingguang looked at this scene in a daze. The man in front of him seemed to become a stranger - as if he had returned to a long time ago, when he was still Grenzjiu, and had done this to a subordinate who was suspected of being a traitor.

He was still that fragile and pale man, but his actions were absolutely quick, accurate and ruthless, leaving no room for his opponent to breathe.

He felt his throat was a little tight, and at this moment he really wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Yuma Tsujimoto shot to save him, and he didn't shoot until the last moment.

He gave the other party a chance, but Dr. Benyong gave up.

The man in the hospital gown half-crouched down, his long silver hair falling to his side as he moved, making his figure look even thinner. He looked straight into Morobushi Jingguang's eyes, as if trying to find a trace of fear or disgust in the other's eyes.

Under the light of Zhu Fu Jingguang, he leaned back consciously, and his soft hair was pressed into the cold wall.

He was waiting for the other party to speak first.

"Will you hate me?"

It was a long time before Morofushi Jingguang caught a sound in the air that could not be any softer.

"You did this to save me, how could I blame you?"

After a long while, Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed helplessly, and then said seriously,

"And you gave him time, and he didn't make the right choice. Even I would have done the same thing as you at that time."

Morobushi Kagemitsu was right. Even if he was indeed a gentle person, when faced with a life-or-death situation involving his companions, he would still choose to save his friends first.

"That's more like it."

Only then did Yuma Tsujimoto smile. He looked very well behaved when he smiled, giving people the illusion that he was particularly innocent.

——If you ignore the blood stains on his face.

"Let's go. They will probably come over when they hear the gunshots. Then it will be considered as a proper defense." Yuma Tsujimoto stood up naturally and dusted off his body.

"The surveillance footage also proves everything. He was the first to fire the gun."

"Um……"

If it was Yuma Tsujimoto, he would definitely make all preparations before taking action.

However, it was because he attracted the doctor's attention that Yuma Tsujimoto found the opportunity to counterattack. And from a certain moment on, the doctor's phone suddenly stopped making any sound, which was probably also the work of Yuma Tsujimoto.

In terms of prudence, Yuma Tsujimoto is indeed much better than Shigeto Tsujimoto.

"Can you stand up? Did they give you anesthesia?" Yuma Tsujimoto rarely used a concerned tone.

"I'm fine." Zhu Fu Jingguang stood up slowly.

"I actually conserved my energy, and I held my breath when he attacked me. I've been trained in this aspect as well."

"That's right. If you're not strong, you can't be my bodyguard." Yuma Tsujimoto nodded with satisfaction.

He bent down and picked up the communicator on the ground. The moment he hacked into the communicator, he also obtained some of the other party's information.

Unfortunately, the man named [Carmen] was too sensitive. The moment he invaded, the other party quickly withdrew, which resulted in him not getting any useful information at all.

The last piece of information that was intercepted was a burst of strange laughter coming from the other side.

This also made Yuma Tsujimoto very uncomfortable.

Inspector Megure and the others rushed over when they heard the gunshots. When they saw the mess on the ground and Yuma Tsujimoto looking at the blood on his body with disgust, the latter's face almost turned pale with fear.

"That, big brother..."

Conan stammered as he looked at the mess in the room, his tone was filled with shock.

"What happened here? Why did Dr. Ben Yong die?"

He had just figured out that Dr. Ben Yong was the murderer! ? But this guy actually killed the murderer.

"It's legitimate defense," explained Morofushi Kagemitsu.

"I was held hostage by Dr. Honenaga. Yuma wanted to find me, so he shot Dr. Honenaga to save me. You can watch the surveillance."

"So that's how it is..." Inspector Megure wiped the sweat from his forehead. The scene was a little too bloody. Even Mouri Ran couldn't bear it and took two steps back while holding Conan.

"Your shooting is very accurate." Conan still muttered a few words.

"Brother, have you ever learned shooting skills?"

"Well, my brother taught me when I was in Hawaii." Yuma Tsujimoto said with a smile.

Edogawa Conan: "..."

Can you be a little more serious when you lie? Why do you have to use the same excuse as him?

However, he also realized that this [Officer Tsujimoto] was definitely not someone he could easily deal with. Compared to Officer Shigeto Tsujimoto, the latter could be described as an angel of incomparable innocence.

"The gun was taken from Dr. Motonaga." Yuma Tsujimoto continued to throw the pot.

"I didn't want my dear friend to be killed by such a murderer, so I mustered up the courage to shoot and kill the murderer... Officer Megure, did I do anything wrong?"

"It's not legal. You've done a great job. The safety of the hostages should always be the first priority. You can deal with the murderer when necessary." Officer Megure nodded.

"Yes, my brother is also a very honest and good policeman. I have indeed learned from him about these issues." Yuma Tsujimoto said with a smile.

"Brother? Wait, does that mean your brother is..."

"Yes, it's the famous police officer Shigeto Tsujimoto~"

"I see... This is really disrespectful." Megure Jusan nodded.

"Then you should also have a good rest. You have been frightened during this period. Be careful."

"Thank you for your concern, Officer Megure."

After boosting his brother's popularity, Yuma Tsujimoto followed Morobushi Kagemitsu out slowly. After a busy day, he was almost exhausted. The amount of exercise he had done that day was almost as much as the amount of exercise he had done since he was hospitalized, which was simply torture for a stay-at-home person.

After releasing the skill [Electronic Sheep], Yuma Tsujimoto's brain suddenly recovered from the tense state to the relaxed state, which also made his eyes go black for a long time. It has to be said that such a skill is indeed too buggy, but it is indeed useful.

Unfortunately, too much physical strength was consumed.

Morobushi Kagemitsu was probably going to go back to take notes for Yuma Tsujimoto, and said that he would bring dinner back for Yuma Tsujimoto. Yuma Tsujimoto, who had solved the case and improved his reputation, made a demanding dinner request as usual, and the other party still accepted it with an inclusive smile.

"After all, Yuma saved my life, so of course I will agree to this request."

"Just so you know."

Yuma Tsujimoto poked his head out of the shower with an expression that said something like "Why don't you get out of here quickly?" or "Do you want me to wait for you after I finish taking a shower?"

After finally getting rid of Morobushi Kagemitsu, Tsujimoto Yuma also went to wash his body. He must have a good rest tonight, and as for the overtime work, he could just leave it to Morobushi Kagemitsu, or to Kazama Souya.

It is impossible for him to work overtime, he wants to learn from his brother and become a show-off.

But the groggy feeling deep in his brain came back, even with a strange nausea. After a simple wash, Yuma Tsujimoto put on a loose bathrobe and walked out the door yawning.

In just ten minutes, it was completely dark outside. The extremely strange feeling of fatigue attacked his brain again and again, almost making him unable to think.

So tired...

Just dry your hair and go to sleep. I’m really sleepy.

With this thought in mind, Yuma Tsujimoto wiped his wet long hair hastily, lifted the quilt and curled up inside.

He always curled up subconsciously when sleeping, which caused Tsujimoto Shigetsu to have his quilt taken away from him every day since he was a child. He woke up from the cold in the middle of the night and ran to find a new quilt to cover himself. In the morning, he found that his quilt had been taken away again.

However, because it involved people, he didn't say anything in the end. After a while, Yuma Tsujimoto woke up in the middle of the night and realized that he liked to grab the quilt, so he said embarrassedly that they could sleep in separate beds.

As a result, the person involved at that time shook his head solemnly and said seriously:

"But Yuma, you have nightmares. You won't be afraid if I'm here. Anyway, I won't get sick even if I don't cover myself with a blanket. If that doesn't work, I can just use a sleeping bag."

…

It happened a long time ago, but he still remembers it very clearly.

It's unfortunate that he has a good memory, but it's not all bad.

At least he remembers all the times he spent with his brother. Even if he himself doesn't remember much, Yuma Tsujimoto will always remember it.

As his breathing gradually became calmer, under the cover of darkness, Yuma Tsujimoto gradually fell into a deep sleep.

The cold and sharp knife flashed in the moonlight. A man in black appeared out of nowhere and stood beside the bed. He looked down at the man who was curled up in the quilt and sleeping, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Yuma Tsujimoto.

The former Grenz wine, and... Organization X's precious experimental subject.

Of course the man in black remembered him. From the moment he saw him, he could keenly smell the scent emanating from him.

It is the same kind of breath.

"I just put some anesthetic in the air and he fell asleep. Once your brain is anesthetized, you lose your most powerful weapon."

The man in black extended his hand lovingly and brushed away the strands of hair that had fallen on the side of the man's face, revealing his pale face.

He was still in a deep sleep, with no sign of waking up.

"What a pity! Even I couldn't do anything when I saw this face."

"But...if I don't kill you, I will never be unique. So...I'm sorry."

The man in black swung the blade in his hand and stabbed it towards the man's heart.

But the moment he raised his arm, it was grabbed by another hand. The opponent's force was so strong that it almost broke his arm, causing a painful feeling like a broken bone.

pain!!

It hurts so much!!!

The tremendous force forced him to let go of the knife in his hand, and the blade fell to the ground with a flash of silver light, and the cold muzzle of the gun hit him directly on the back of the head.

"Are you looking for death?"

The voice ringing in his ears contained extremely terrifying anger and murderous intent. Without turning around, the man in black knew who was standing behind him.

A justice policeman who is the star of the Metropolitan Police Department, a senior member of the Black Organization with a long history, and... one of the important members of the X Organization, Tsujimoto Furuto.

"Long time no see, Tsujimoto Shigetsu. I didn't expect to see you in a place like this."

The man in black didn't care about his dislocated hand or the gun pointed at the back of his head.

He took off his mask, revealing a face that looked almost identical to Shigetsu Tsujimoto's, but distinctly female.

"I didn't expect you to be so protective of your shortcomings."

"I don't want to talk to you about anything else, Carmen."

Tsujimoto Shigetsu spoke in a very soft voice, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping Tsujimoto Yuma.

"Die here or die outside. Your choice."
