Chapter 49

"Can't get in touch?"

Yuma Tsujimoto's finger stayed in front of the computer, and the explored area showed [No Signal].

"Is it electromagnetic interference?? The other party actually has such a trick up his sleeve... Tsk."

"Yes, the situation is probably very complicated now." Inspector Furuya was very nervous.

"Will the police officer involved be in trouble? Without our help..."

"Normally, there wouldn't be a problem if it involved just one person." Yuma Tsujimoto took off his headset, his brows knitted together.

"Someone deliberately released electromagnetic interference, but this would also render the hearing aids of the people involved in the incident ineffective."

"I feel uneasy when I can't hear anything."

The reason why he fell into Gin's hands before was because his hearing aid was malfunctioning. This time Gin happened to be by his side, and Yuma Tsujimoto was very worried that the same thing would happen again.

"Are you going to see Officer Tsujimoto?" asked Furuya Gawa Jin.

"If I force myself to contact Tsujimoto, it will only put him in more danger." Tsujimoto Yuma touched his chin.

"First, we need to find a way to eliminate the electromagnetic reaction. If I'm not mistaken, the electromagnetic reaction should be transmitted underwater, so we need to dive."

"I have no problem, but you..."

"Of course I won't go down there. If I go down there with my body like this, wouldn't that just mean I'm going to die?" Tsujimoto Yuma said unhappily.

"I am somewhat aware of my own physical condition. Of course, I am willing to go with you not because I care about you, but because I need to take command of this operation."

"My brother discovered a lot of bombs near the exhibition booth not long ago. I'm afraid Yusuke Tsukue was going to detonate them before leaving, thereby killing everyone at the exhibition."

"Did the police officer ask you to defuse the bomb in advance?"

"You can say that. And he said he would use a bomb to blow up the glass tower in the center of the booth first. Because the glass tower will not affect the stability of the foundation after the explosion, and it can attract Yusuke Tsukue's attention, so that his brother's chess piece can successfully obtain Tamir's Heart." Yuma Tsujimoto glanced at his watch.

"Inspector Furuya, how many police officers are there who can dive? It would be best if they can also defuse bombs."

"Don't worry, people. I've basically prepared everything," said Inspector Furutani.

"That's good. Let's get going without delay."

Yuma Tsujimoto is very aware of his own usefulness. As the backup of Tsujimoto Shigetsu, his greater role should be to transmit intelligence from behind. The other party used electromagnetic radiation to eliminate the signal, so Yuma Tsujimoto should have eliminated the debuff at the first time, instead of running to his brother inexplicably and causing trouble for him.

What's more, Gin is still by his brother's side. If he just goes there, something really bad will happen.

Of course, he did intend to secretly get rid of Gin. As an unstable bomb, Gin was too much of a threat to his brother, and he was still uneasy about him staying with his brother.

Although Shigeto Tsujimoto did not want to kill Gin, that was just Shigeto Tsujimoto's idea.

If Yuu Tsujimoto accidentally killed Gin, Shigeto Tsujimoto would definitely not say anything.

Because he knew that compared to Gin, Yuma Tsujimoto was the most important to Shigeto Tsujimoto.

With this premise, Yuma Tsujimoto was of course planning to kill Gin. However, he had to wait until Gin was far away from his brother before killing him. After all, he didn't want Shigetsu Tsujimoto to see him taking action.

The only change, however, is Carmen.

Carmen possesses an extremely terrifying ability to disguise himself. The opponent's skill points seem to be very similar to his, but his physical fitness is quite good, and Yuma Tsujimoto has never relaxed towards him.

However, Yusuke Tsukue must have a certain connection with Carmen. The reason why Shigeto Tsujimoto wanted to blow up the glass tower was not only to allow the thief Kid to steal Tamir's heart with peace of mind, but also to be able to catch Yusuke Tsukue for interrogation.

Apart from other things, when it comes to interrogation, his brother's talent can be said to be no less than his.

·

"Are you sure you want to blow up the glass tower?"

When Gin saw the glass tower with flashing lights in front of him, his face was full of confusion.

"I know what you want to ask." Shigetto Tsujimoto stood beside Gin.

"I must have my reasons for doing this. You know, given their level of vigilance, they definitely won't really leave the Heart of Tamir there, but once it explodes, Tsukue Yusuke will definitely come over like a frightened rabbit to check the situation. Then we can catch him and ask about the Heart of Tamir."

"Are you sure he will tell you?"

"It's one thing to be sure, but if we can't get any information about Tamir's Heart from him, then we can ask him about Organization X. If that doesn't work, we can interrogate him again. People always have weaknesses. As long as we can catch him, it's only a matter of time before we know what he has to say."

"Where are you going to get the bomb?" Gin asked the question he wanted to ask most.

Indeed, Gin had been thinking about the bomb from the beginning. He had thought about attracting Yusuke Tsukue's attention by exploding it, but unfortunately he couldn't hide the bomb under his coat.

The bomb is not Boleta, how can it be taken away so easily?

"It's not a big problem. I've actually asked someone to move the bombs here. There are ready-made bombs here, so just use them directly." Shigeto Tsujimoto explained.

"Could it be Yusuke Tsukue's private collection?" Gin said playfully.

"It's his private collection. After all, he didn't intend to leave this stand here. It would explode sooner or later. As long as all the branch bombs of those stands are concentrated together, this glass tower will definitely collapse."

After all, it was Tsujimoto Shigetsu who issued this order to Tsujimoto Yushin before the electromagnetic interference. With his brother's ability, he would definitely be able to gather the bombs together quickly.

"Don't worry, this is not something you need to worry about. You just need to help me." Tsujimoto said casually, looking at Gin.

"Speaking of which, isn't it a bit strange for us to talk in this posture?"

"It's for communication. Do you think I want to do that?"

Gin did not take his hands off Tsujimoto's ears, but there was no one around where the two of them were. At least Tsujimoto was completely convinced of this after scanning the area with the paradox simulation.

"It's a bit awkward indeed." Tsujimoto was silent for a while.

"Let's make a quick decision. Let's implement a few actions for communication. I have already arranged for someone to solve the electromagnetic problem. If there is any signal, please inform me immediately."

Shigeto Tsujimoto roughly determined a few basic actions, such as [Run away if there is danger], [Kill him] and [Continue]. After determining these points, the two of them quickly noticed a small box placed in a corner not far away. It looked like just an ordinary wine box, but the contents inside should be self-evident.

They still had to do things like planting the bomb. After all, the police department had their own things to do, and if an accident really happened, they would have to find a way to evacuate other people.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto and Gin changed into security uniforms early on. After picking up the small box, Shigetsu Tsujimoto began to place bombs in the target directions.

In order not to attract too much attention, all of these bombs are relatively small, and a small-scale explosion should be able to completely shatter the tempered glass.

If Yusuke Tsukue's conspiracy succeeds, the entire exhibition stand will sink instantly after the explosion, the surrounding ships will retreat, and there are no other islands nearby. In the cold night, they will inevitably fall into a desperate situation.

Not to mention that no one was able to seek help after the electromagnetic interference, which can be said to have cut off all escape routes.

As for how to detonate the bomb, Yuma Tsujimoto was thoughtful enough to specially configure a remote control to assist in detonation.

As expected of his younger brother, he is so reliable!!

Shigeto Tsujimoto threw the remote control to Gin. At this moment, the two were standing in an open-air bar not far from the glass tower. According to the calculation of the paradox simulation, the glass tower would slowly fall into the sea at the moment it was blown up, and no one with hands and feet would be injured.

Of course, the same cannot be said for Yusuke Tsukue who is staying in the glass tower.

[Press it.] Shigeto Tsujimoto gestured as if he was pressing a bomb.

[Why don't you do it yourself?] Gin gestured to him expressionlessly.

"I am an upright police officer. How could I do such an outrageous thing?" Shigetto Tsujimoto looked at the other party and spoke seriously.

Then an indescribable expression appeared on Gin's face.

A glass of whiskey with ice was placed in front of Shigeto Tsujimoto. In fact, Shigeto Tsujimoto just ordered a glass casually and had no intention of drinking it.

He just picked a great spot to watch it.

Gin didn't express his thoughts, he just pressed the button carelessly and drank the wine in his quilt.

"Bang!!!!"

Along with the sound of glass shattering and the screams of the crowd, countless pieces of glass covered with halos fell from the sky like rain. The colorful lights illuminated these broken glass pieces, reflecting a different kind of brilliance in the air.

"What the hell is going on??? Who did this???"

"Damn it!!! I shouldn't have come to this place!! It must be that Yusuke Tsukue guy who wants to kill us!!"

"I understand from the electromagnetic interference incident just now!! That guy wants to kill us!! If we cut off the outside world like this, even if we really fall into the water, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out alive, right?"

The crowd's voices of condemnation and curses rang out from all directions, and as the glass tower crashed into the water, countless colorful lights shone from the broken tower walls.

Standing in the crowd, the man who had struggled out of the ruins with all his might was scolded in disgrace. However, compared with being scolded, it was the lack of trust from the crowd that made him more nervous and uneasy.

Who dropped the bomb?

Anyway, it couldn’t be him!!! Even if he really wanted to blow this place up!! He wouldn’t blow up the tower!! What’s the point of doing something that can’t cause any threat other than panic!!!

"What a joke! I didn't do it at all! Someone among you must have wanted to steal the gems, so you encouraged the destruction of the glass tower!!!" Yusuke Tsukue said fiercely, with anger in his eyes.

"I know you are there!! Come out!! Get out of here!!"

…

It would be weird if it really rolled out.

It’s a pity that I can’t hear it, otherwise the explosion would probably be a wonderful symphony, right?

As Shigetto Tsujimoto thought about this, he subconsciously took a sip of whiskey. The stimulation of the alcohol itself almost made him drunk.

As expected, Gin, who was sitting next to him, showed a disdainful and sarcastic expression.

However, even such an expression fueled Tsujimoto's fighting spirit.

Damn it!! He actually mocked him!!

Shigeto Tsujimoto simply drank the glass of whiskey in one gulp, and showed a triumphant expression in the face of the other party's "How can you be so childish" look.

It's just whiskey, no problem at all.

Compared to these, what he is most interested in is what he is going to do next.

Probably knowing that he couldn't explain himself, Yusuke Tsukue simply walked away. The few bodyguards who stayed behind stopped the others from moving forward, and decisively ignored Gin and Shigetsu Tsujimoto who sneaked in from the side.

This building is full of bodyguards - this building is full of our own people.

I have to say, this feels really great.

[Follow.]

Shigeto Tsujimoto made this gesture and turned on the polar tracking at the same time, and began to track the figure of Yusuke Tsukue.

Given Yusuke Tsukue's vigilance, he might have brought the gem with him, but this was only one of the possibilities. Even if it was only a possibility, Shigeto Tsujimoto did not intend to give up the investigation.

[Right here?]

Gin stopped in front of a door and gestured to Shigetto Tsujimoto.

[That's right.] Shigetto Tsujimoto nodded, and at the same time reached out and took away Gin's Boleta, and at the same time took a step back and looked at the other party with a pair of innocent eyes.

[You are responsible for kicking the door and I am responsible for the rear guard]

It's like writing this sentence on your face.

Gin suddenly became angry for no reason, but thinking that it was part of the mission, he held back and didn't say anything.

"Bang!!"

With the sound of a door being pushed open roughly, a little light finally appeared in the dim room. At the moment when Tsujimoto Shigeto and his group forcibly kicked the door, Tsukue Yusuke almost subconsciously looked behind him in fear -

"Open the door! We are the FBI! You are under arrest!!"

The loud voice of Shigeto Tsujimoto echoed in the air, shocking Gin so much that he even showed a pause.

The reason why Tsujimoto Shigetsu pretended to be the FBI was just a whim.

Anyway, the United States doesn't need any reason to do anything, so it's no big deal to just throw the blame on the other party.

"FBI? What do you want to do? I didn't commit any crime. I, I just..."

Yusuke Tsukue stepped back subconsciously, his intuition telling him that the two people in front of him were definitely not simple.

"Beat him." Tsujimoto ordered.

"Can't you hear people talking!!!" Yusuke Tsukue almost collapsed.

That's too bad, he really can't hear.

Gin thought expressionlessly.

"I will never give you the Heart of Tamir!!! Absolutely not!!!" Yusuke Tsukue said tremblingly.

"I know you all came here for this thing!!! You have no idea how important this gem is... Anyway, there is someone behind this who is manipulating you, right?"

"Damn it!! It must be him!! It must be him!!"

…

Although he didn't know what the other person said, Shigeto Tsujimoto felt quite happy when he saw the man's devastated expression.

Well, at this time no skills are needed at all, just beat him to death and you will know where the gem is. The order he gave to Gin was - he would not stop unless the other party was willing to tell him the location of the gem.

He doesn't care about other things.

But this thought was stopped in the next second.

For safety reasons, Tsujimoto would use the paradox simulation to scan each room before entering it, only in this way could he confirm whether there was any danger inside. This time was no exception.

But just as he scanned Yusuke Tsukue, a red danger sign popped out immediately.

[Target: Yusuke Tsukue is carrying dangerous explosives, please be careful]

Dangerous explosive items? ?

What kind of dangerous explosives could be here?

Before Shigetto Tsujimoto could react, he saw that the other party had made up his mind. He took out the red gem from his pocket and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto's expression suddenly changed.

"Gin!! Get out of there right now!!! Run!!!"

Shigeto Tsujimoto immediately grabbed Gin's hand and rushed towards the door without saying a word.

There was a few seconds of hesitation on Yusuke Tsukue's face, and then a violent explosion burst out from his throat. At the same time, the glass wall behind him was directly shattered and a large amount of sea water rushed in instantly!

That gem was not Tamir's Heart.

That is clearly a bomb with extremely strong explosive power!!!

——It’s Carmen’s trap!!!

Shigetsu Tsujimoto thought of this almost reflexively.

Why did Yusuke Tsukue swallow Tamir's Heart? ?

Obviously, he also knew about Pandora's Stone. He wanted to swallow the stone in despair to obtain the so-called "immortality".

Unfortunately, the gem was replaced by Carmen a long time ago.

However, it seems that the location of the gem that Kidd found was the correct one. Perhaps the gem was originally a fake, and Carmen deliberately chose to replace it in order to get rid of the troublesome guy Yusuke Tsukue.

"Bang!!!!"

The huge wooden cabinet collapsed with a loud bang, directly cutting off the corridor. Without saying a word, Tsujimoto Shigetsu drew his gun and broke the joints of the wooden cabinet, dismantled the thick wooden planks with his bare hands, and rushed forward.

This place will soon be flooded by sea water! He must go back to the upper level immediately!!!

From this moment on, the corridor seemed to become extremely long. Shigeto Tsujimoto and Gin soon arrived at the stairs - the elevator was definitely not usable, but there was still time to take the stairs.

However, there was a sudden sound of someone falling into the water.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto stopped walking subconsciously. He noticed the faint cry for help and looked down subconsciously.

[You go up first.]

Shigeto Tsujimoto made a gesture with his hand. He noticed that the sea water was still spreading, so he became more cautious.

If there really is someone down there, he will definitely die if you just leave him there.

Without waiting for Gin to speak, Tsujimoto Shigetsu walked towards the next floor. However, the moment he saw the other party, the silver-haired young man was stunned.

It was a young man who was tied up very tightly.

Rather than the adjective "tied up extremely tightly", he noticed more the bomb tied to the other person's body.

The bomb has six seconds left before it explodes.

"Uoo ...

The moment the man saw Shigeto Tsujimoto, he immediately cried for help, but he probably realized that he was about to die, and a look of despair gradually appeared in his eyes.

He will die.

The gray-white world spread out beside Shigeto Tsujimoto, and six seconds of time froze in front of Shigeto Tsujimoto's eyes.

Almost as if it were a conditioned reflex, Shigeto Tsujimoto acted subconsciously.

But what to do next? ?

Shigetto Tsujimoto fell into deep thought.

In fact, this matter is easy to decide. As long as he chooses to leave immediately, the bomb exploding in the corner will not necessarily affect him, he can survive, and can escape to the upper floor with Gin. Six seconds is more than enough time for Shigeto Tsujimoto to escape.

But... this person will die.

Just like what happened to Kenji Hagiwara, he will die.

And coincidentally, this time it was also six seconds.

[What are you still hesitating about? ? ]

The system's voice rang in Tsujimoto's ears in confusion.

[You don’t want to save him, do you? Why is there anything to save this guy? He’s not a character in the original story, so if he dies, he dies.]

It's very rare that the system actually spoke up on its own initiative.

It seems that this guy really doesn't want him to die, otherwise he wouldn't have reminded him over and over again.

[You don't want me to die?] Shigetto Tsujimoto asked meaningfully.

[……]

[If it were you, there would definitely be a way for us all to survive, right?]

This time the other party was completely silent.

The man lying on the ground still had a look of despair in his eyes. His clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and he looked extremely shabby.

He seemed to be one of the visitors. Shigetsu Tsujimoto remembered him. The young man who was unaware of the surveillance cameras hanging all over his body was probably really simple-minded and was fooled by others.

Carmen, like herself, likes to control this kind of people, so this unlucky young master was trapped in a corner.

This was obviously a trap set by Carmen. He was forcing himself to make a choice...or rather, he was happy to see Shigetsu Tsujimoto suffer because of this.

But even though he knew it was Carmen's trap, he still couldn't bear to watch an innocent person die in front of him.

He is a member of the Black Organization, but he is also a policeman.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto sighed, but still made a decision in his heart.

Sure enough, it’s better to take a gamble.
