Chapter 45

In the end, the two of them spent a very restless night in the hotel. The process was so tragic that Shigetsu Tsujimoto still felt emotional for a long time when he recalled it many years later.

All in all, he would never share a room with Gin again in his life, even for the safety of innocent people in other rooms.

Tsujimoto Shigetsu was also in the process of learning more about the Heart of Tamir. In fact, he had no knowledge of gemstones and other things. Even if the organization really gave him a new identity, he felt that he would not be able to use it.

"Seaside Hotel? This is considered a high-end suite, right?"

Seeing the luxurious hotel, Shigetto Tsujimoto couldn't help but sigh.

Both of them changed their attire slightly, and Gin finally changed out of his long black trench coat which he hadn't worn for a hundred years. Even when Shigeto Tsujimoto saw Gin again, he dropped the communicator in his hand to the ground.

"I must be hallucinating. I actually saw someone who was so similar to Gin and yet so different. It turns out that I've been working too much overtime recently..."

"Really? This is the biggest joke I've seen in this century."

Gin, who had changed into a light-colored dress, pushed up his sunglasses, his emerald green eyes filled with mockery.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto didn't know whether the joke was about the similarity or the overtime part, but he didn't really care. After all, the next action was the most important.

According to the two people's initial actions, this large exhibition stand made of pure glass will be opened at midnight a week later. The countless lights under the glass will change colors at this moment. According to the refraction of light, the Heart of Tamir will also welcome guests with its most beautiful side.

However, the warning letter from the Phantom Thief Kidd also said that he would take away Tamir's heart at around 12 o'clock, which means that all the changes will begin at 12 o'clock.

Shigeto Tsujimoto's plan was simple. He would wait for the Heart of Tamir to be taken away by the Phantom Thief Kid, then catch the Phantom Thief Kid, snatch the Heart of Tamir from him, and then let the other party take the blame.

The plan was simple, so simple that Gin's expression almost changed color.

"Is that your plan? Are you sure you can catch the thief Kid?"

"If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't tell you this. Besides, I have my backers." Tsujimoto said confidently.

"Trust me, Gin, I will win."

He is indeed very confident.

Just because Investigation Section 2 couldn't catch someone doesn't mean he can't catch him. The most important thing is that he has Yuuma Tsujimoto.

As early as last night, Yuma Tsujimoto had contacted him and not only sent him all the places where the cameras were hidden, but also the movement positions of all the bodyguards and the structure diagram of the entire building.

"It's not completely closed, but there are a lot of traps inside - for the thief Kid." Yuma Tsujimoto's voice rang out in my mind.

"But this is also a very dangerous thing for you. I can hack into the entire building, but I can only hack into it for five minutes. As long as you give the order, I can hack into the system within three seconds. During this time, you can do whatever you want."

"I see." Shigetto Tsujimoto understood.

"Also, regarding the incident on the Suzuki Tower, I think other people may have misunderstood it. Current media reports basically believe that it was the thief Kidd who blew up the Suzuki Tower. This explosion caused many casualties. I think someone must have done it on purpose." Yuma Tsujimoto lowered his voice.

"For example - threatening him not to steal Tamir's heart. Maybe someone else wants to intervene in this matter. But it may also be due to some kind of inducement effect.

"I think so too. The thief Kid wouldn't blow up the Tokyo Tower, right? He's just an underage kid, right?" Shigeto Tsujimoto expressed his understanding.

"In short, Sheren, you'd better be careful. I feel like someone has been targeting you, and it's very likely that you're related to Organization X. Their members are very difficult to kill at the root, so I'm not sure if you can always guarantee complete safety." Yuma Tsujimoto's voice became tense.

"I will be safe. At least I have Gin with me, and if he doesn't turn against me, he may still be able to help me a little." Shigetsu Tsujimoto said.

"Is Gin with you?" Yuma Tsujimoto's voice suddenly became louder.

"I remember you stayed in a hotel together?"

"Well, that seems to be correct?"

Shigetsu Tsujimoto looked at the person who was almost sleeping on the edge of the bed, and then looked at the almost messy room, and said firmly,

"Don't worry, he can't do anything to me. I secretly dismantled the magazine of his Beretta. I am absolutely safe now."

Yuma Tsujimoto: "..."

Yuma Tsujimoto: "Forget it, just be happy."

I don’t know what Yuma Tsujimoto was thinking, but when he hung up, he sounded very tired. I don’t know if it was physical fatigue or mental fatigue.

Thinking back, since Yuma Tsujimoto is helping, the problem of the thief Kid will most likely be solved. However, they will have to spend a whole week at the seaside hotel, and no one knows what will happen during this week.

"Wow! I saw that building!!"

After the Porsche turned a corner and finally got onto the highway, Shigeto Tsujimoto quickly saw the rather luxurious building.

The exhibition stand specially built for the Heart of Tamir was called [The Princess' Feast]. The name sounded quite childish, but it was in line with the luxurious style of Yusuke Tsukue.

The glass building has two floors. One floor serves as an underwater basement. This type of glass is very pressure-resistant, and the remaining underwater part can be used as a lounge and restaurant. The fish and special algae raised around it can also be used as exhibits, which is quite charming.

The seaside hotel is still some distance away from the booth. When the appointed time comes, Yusuke Tsukue will take everyone to the booth by boat half an hour in advance for a two-hour visit. During these two hours, everyone can get a glimpse of the true appearance of Tamir's Heart and enjoy a night feast.

What a pity, this exhibition stand that looked quite good was destined to explode.

Shigeto Tsujimoto noticed the row of sad comments on the bullet screen and probably knew the final fate of this booth.

What a pity, it must have cost a lot of money to build it... Although he doesn't really understand the world of rich people, Shigeto Tsujimoto still thinks it's a pity.

"Have you seen enough?" Gin turned his head and looked at him after noticing that Tsujimoto Shigetsu had withdrawn his gaze.

"That's enough." Tsujimoto nodded.

"Let's go back. There's still a lot to do."

No more words were spoken between the two.

·

By the time Yuma Tsujimoto's body had recovered, the missions of Investigation Section 1 and Investigation Section 2 had begun.

Yuma Tsujimoto's mission this time is to investigate the Suzuki Tower. This time the criminal escaped, but there is still a lot of scope to investigate.

Obviously, many people outside the mass media still don't believe that Phantom Thief Kid would do such a thing, so this matter needs to be investigated.

"Can you hold on?" asked Inspector Furutani.

"Um."

The other party answered briefly and then went into a separate room.

He used the skill [Role Play] to completely change his appearance. His medium-length blond hair fell to his neck, his dark green eyes seemed to sink into an emerald lake, and the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose made him look even more distant.

His new identity, Natsuo Matsukawa, is a secret detective assisting the Metropolitan Police Department and is also a master hacker.

Of course, he did not forget to give Morobushi Kagemitsu a new identity. How could a detective not have Watson by his side? That's what Yuma Tsujimoto himself said.

However, Morobushi Kagemitsu himself was also happy to be able to communicate with his former companions. Although they were completely different in status, he was happy to be able to help them.

Although Yuma Tsujimoto seemed to not want Morobushi Kagemitsu to have contact with other people, he didn't say anything about it.

"Detective?"

While everyone in the Investigation Section 1 was busy and exhausted, Hagiwara Kenji heard these words.

"Yes, although he is not as famous as Kogoro Mori, that gentleman is actually very powerful," said Inspector Furutani.

Maori Kogoro and his family left the day before the Suzuki Tower explosion. It is said that they received an invitation from the Suzuki Group to attend the Tamir Heart Exhibition. In addition, with the invitation from the Phantom Thief Kid, Conan could not refuse to go.

At least that’s what Yuu Tsujimoto thought.

"Even if Mr. Mori was really there, he would have been snatched away by Inspector Megure." Matsuda Jinpei didn't think so.

"I'm glad I can help. I feel like I'm working so much overtime that I'm almost dying—"

Ever since Shigeto Tsujimoto left, the entire Investigation Division has been encountering various cases almost every day. No one knows if it is some kind of curse, but they have all turned into whipped tops, spinning madly.

"I don't think it's necessary to conduct further investigation on the criminal." Tsujimoto Yuma pushed his glasses.

"Because the criminal has already left here, even if you want to investigate, you may not find any clues. Instead of this, how about investigating the objects left at the scene?"

"Something dropped at the scene?"

“For example, this.”

Yuma Tsujimoto turned on the screen, and soon, some detailed images captured by the flying camera appeared in front of everyone.

"The broken part of the bell tower is in the middle of its spine. According to my investigation, this is a vulnerable area and has been reported for repair because of the crack problem. If a bomb was placed nearby in advance, only the maintenance workers would be able to take action."

"We also predicted this." Inspector Furuya nodded.

"But we investigated all the relevant workers and not a single one of them said they had planted the bomb."

"It's certain that none of them planted the bomb. It's not difficult to disguise as someone else. The criminal is obviously a very serious person." Yuma Tsujimoto continued.

"I checked all the surveillance cameras in the area and traced the routes of all the workers returning home after work and the routes of the vehicles. After integrating the data, I found that one of the workers was acting strangely."

"He first went to a public garage and drove away. So far, everything was fine. The car he drove was also a very inconspicuous car. If you didn't pay close attention, I'm afraid no one would notice it."

"But there is a small process between surveillance A and surveillance B. If you look carefully, you can notice that the taxi on the other side has swapped passengers with the original taxi."

By zooming in on the surveillance footage, one can clearly see that the two men's chins are different - one has clear stubble, while the other has a very clean shaven chin.

Such a subtle difference is really hard to see if you don't compare carefully.

"We need to arrest that worker!?" Inspector Furutani gave the message immediately.

"It won't be a big problem to catch him. He is definitely an accomplice, but he definitely can't know the other person's true appearance, or even much of the truth." Tsujimoto Yuma shrugged.

"And my guess is very simple. The other party probably has their eyes on Tamir's Heart. Because the Phantom Thief Kidd recently ordered a spy on Tamir's Heart, and as another spy, I want to use this to warn him."

“It’s just a warning… they’re not going to blow up the Suzuki Tower directly, right?” One of the members of the Investigation Section 1 was stunned.

"Yes, maybe there are other reasons for blowing up the Suzuki Tower? But I'm not sure what those reasons are." Tsujimoto Yuma smiled.

In the end, I still have to participate in the exhibition.

However, Mr. Yusuke Tsukue refused the Metropolitan Police Department's assistance and mocked the repeated failures of the Second Investigation Division.

"As the defeated generals of Phantom Thief Kid, it doesn't really matter whether you come or not, right? I've already hired someone to deal with Phantom Thief Kid! You better get out of here!!"

Yusuke Tsukue's words were obviously very hurtful, and Officer Nakamori was almost driven crazy.

These words were clearly a disrespect for the entire Metropolitan Police Department. For a moment, the whole room was filled with a low pressure, making people feel very uncomfortable.

However, Yuma Tsujimoto quietly took out an ID card and explained to Inspector Furuya in a very good-tempered manner:

"It doesn't matter. In fact, the so-called [reliable bodyguard] he hired was just a trigger I ordered. I had expected that he would not easily agree to the protection of the Metropolitan Police Department, but we must take down the thief Kidd."

"You mean, the person he hired is actually a Hollow Shell Organization? And now we have to act as members of this Hollow Shell Organization?" Inspector Furutani quickly understood.

"That's right, in this way, if we really catch the Phantom Thief Kid, we can publicly clear ourselves of the insults against us. If we don't catch him, it has nothing to do with us. It's just that Mr. Yusuke Tsukuie has poor eyesight." Yuma Tsujimoto said innocently.

"This is really quite powerful..."

The result is that the Investigation Section 1 and Investigation Section 2 have joined together to form this disguised shell company, and they have disguised themselves one by one. The number is just right, and everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department is definitely qualified as a bodyguard, so at first glance, there is really nothing to reveal.

After the plan was completed, the Metropolitan Police Department began to work. However, Yuma Tsujimoto was still relaxed and didn't look energetic at all.

"They can infiltrate as bodyguards, but you certainly can't?" Zhufu Jingguang was a little worried.

"I have a ticket, so I don't need to go." Tsujimoto Yuma said calmly.

"Just pretend to be bodyguards and sneak in. I have my own things to do."

"Tickets?"

"I can just auction it online. I have money."

He really wasn't short of money. The money he had earned from the Black Organization during his years as Grentz Wine alone was a considerable fortune, not to mention his other income.

But this matter definitely cannot be told to others, he also needs some private space.

"My brother will probably go to the Heart of Tamir exhibition as well. It would be better if someone could help him than him alone." Yuma Tsujimoto's eyes dimmed.

"After all... I feel very uneasy with that person around him."

Even if he was tamed, so what? As long as the wildness in his bones remained, he didn't believe that the other party would not bite him back.

It was impossible for Shi Ren to completely trust Gin, but that accident had already made him alert enough.

There won't be a second time.

Once Gin becomes too harmful...it would be better to find a way to get rid of him.

·

"Can I exchange room cards with you?" Shigetto Tsujimoto poked his head out.

"Room card?" Gin had just taken his room number card and looked at Shigeto Tsujimoto in confusion.

"My number is 404. It always feels a bit unlucky." Tsujimoto said seriously.

"I just heard some people next to me say that there seem to be ghosts in this seaside hotel... Although I believe in science, I still feel uneasy. You have such a strong evil spirit, you can definitely subdue ghosts!!"

“Get lost!!”

The deal failed and Shigeto Tsujimoto was attacked again.

Hey... it's just a change of room, is there any need to be so angry? I don't know what Gin is thinking...

Looking at the pseudonym [Nishitani Akira] marked on his chest, Shigetto Tsujimoto could not help but sigh helplessly.

This time, his and Gin's false identities were also provided by the organization, but the information provided by the organization made him a little subtle.

So why are he and Gin brothers? Even if they both have silver hair, there is no need to become brothers! After all, his only brother is Yushin Tsujimoto! He doesn't want to acknowledge a second brother!!

However, after clearly seeing the unhappy mood on the other party's face, Gin silently raised the pseudonym of [Nishitani Chiaki] in his hand and sneered:

"Don't think about it, I'm your brother."

Tsujimoto Shigetsu: “…”

Damn, it seems even more annoying.

This seaside hotel has a total of eight floors, the first floor below is a garage parking area, and the restaurant is on the third floor.

After such a long walk in the morning, the two of them should theoretically go for lunch.

But Shigetsu Tsujimoto had a bad feeling for some reason.

"What? Don't you want to go down?"

"Yes." Tsujimoto nodded quickly.

"I'm not going to eat. My intuition tells me that there will be either an explosion or a murder."

If nothing unexpected happens, the protagonists should be there too. Is he going to bring Gin to meet Conan? ? The next process must be that Conan looks at Gin and shouts that the second son cannot stay for long, and then he also puts Tsujimoto Shigetsu in the same category, and finally a murder occurs with a scream...

Refuse! He refuses!! He just wants to live a quiet life now!! He doesn't want to get involved in any cases before the Heart of Tamir exhibition starts! That's like walking on a tightrope!!

"It's amazing that you're still afraid."

Gin was quite amused when he noticed Tsujimoto Shigeto's unconcealed expression.

"You don't know."

Shigetsu Tsujimoto wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and murmured in a low voice:

"That place... there exists the God of Death."

"Death? A member of Organization X?"

"No, they are more terrifying than the members of Organization X," said Shigetsu Tsujimoto seriously.

"Gin, you go ahead. Remember to pack some lunch for me, okay?"

“…”

The other party looked at him and left without saying a word.

Shigeto Tsujimoto sniffed. Gin left his key before he left, and Shigeto Tsujimoto also scanned the room with the paradox simulation in advance, and sure enough, he found a few inconspicuous eavesdropping devices.

Organization X should have arrived before them.

So, people from Organization X should also be among those guests?

Shigetsu Tsujimoto was thinking silently while watching the reactions on the bullet screen.

Most of the comments were discussing the characters that would appear in Tamir's Heart. The one who would most likely die was definitely Yusuke Tsukue. As for the suspects, they very skillfully gave three of them.

The first one is Yusuke Tsukue’s female secretary, who looks weak and only smiles shyly when she meets people, Kawamura Hazuki.

The second is the rich kid Morioka Noriyo, who looks very arrogant and is at odds with the protagonists from the very beginning.

The remaining one is Shinji Murano, who looks handsome and serves as the guide and introducer of the protagonists. He has the same slicked-back hair as Chrollo in HXH. Although there is nothing wrong with his behavior, that smile does not make him look like a good person.

The three choices are in place, and now the performance is about to begin, right?

Shigetsu Tsujimoto turned off the bullet screen and began to think about his next move.

It was definitely not a good idea to just stay in the room and wait. But he definitely couldn't go to the third floor where cases were most frequent, so he planned to investigate other floors first.

Yuma Tsujimoto has basically told him all the geographical locations here. If he wants to investigate something, he can summon his brother to do a real-time investigation at any time without having to panic at all.

Sure enough, it is most convenient to move alone.

Quietly opening the door, Shigetsu Tsujimoto walked deeper into the corridor. However, just as he turned and was about to press the elevator button, an even more uncertain premonition suddenly came to his mind.

Oh no.

At the moment when his mind went blank, these two words were the only ones left in Shigetsu Tsujimoto's mind.

The elevator in front of him stopped with a ding, and as the iron door slowly opened, a strong smell of blood wafted into his face.

The frail female secretary was lying limp in the elevator, her eyes slightly widened with a look of disbelief remaining in them.

She is dead.

She died???

Shigeto Tsujimoto subconsciously took a step back, but the next second, two other familiar voices followed.

"Sister Xiaolan! Your house number is 412. You should go through here!"

"I know. Sonoko must live with me, so I booked a double room. Conan, do you want to come with me?"

“Ha, hahahaha… or let’s not… huh?”

Ran Mouri and Conan, who were talking, happened to come out of another elevator and noticed Shigeto Tsujimoto standing stiffly at the door.

The latter showed a helpless bitter smile on his face.

The so-called Lucky E, could it also have the power to summon the god of death? ?
