Chapter 52
"He is a man who is very good at hiding himself. Don't be fooled by his appearance... He is more cunning than anyone else and can disguise himself better than anyone else."
These are the words that the organization's boss left for Gin.
When a wolf takes off his sheep's clothing, his sharp fangs will naturally bite anyone who is hostile to him.
Gin never trusted any information that Shigeto Tsujimoto revealed to him.
Even though he looks like someone who can be manipulated by anyone, Gin still can't let his guard down.
Water stains flowed down from the broken glass windows, dripping onto the dusty water surface, creating tiny ripples.
The door of the communication room was kicked in half, and the moonlight shone through the broken door onto the water-mixed ground. Tamir's Heart lay quietly in the water, and the red liquid in the syringe was more dazzling than ever.
[Mission accomplished.]
The message left by Shigeto Tsujimoto was still in his communicator. The speed and manner in which this man completed his tasks were still neat and tidy, and there had never been a mistake.
He put down the communicator, and his eyes gradually moved downwards, finally landing on the man.
The silver-haired young man looked extremely unkempt, and his beautiful silver hair was stained with dirt, and it was unclear whether it was blood, mud, or both.
But it seems that he won, but he also suffered considerable injuries.
This is truly a situation that is rarely seen in a century.
Gin subconsciously raised the corners of his lips, wanting to sneer at the other party as usual, but he found that the other party's hearing aid seemed to have been pulled off. Even if he really said something, Tsujimoto Shigetsu might not be able to hear it.
Is this also Carmen's fault?
But think about it, Tsujimoto Shigetsu would not destroy his own senses himself, so it must have been Carmen who did it.
"How embarrassing, Tsujimoto Wataruto."
He bent down slightly, reached out his hand and picked up the gem on the ground, and at the same time he glanced at the thing the other person was holding tightly.
The red potion rolled back and forth in the syringe, just like Gin's mood at the moment.
Who left it? Carmen???
Or... did the person notice the tube of potion and subconsciously want to destroy it, but didn't have time to do it?
"……who?"
Noticing someone coming, the silver-haired young man subconsciously wanted to get up, but was deprived of the movement in the next second - his wrist was tightly grasped, and as the force gradually increased, his fingers were forced to loosen.
As if he didn't expect anyone to stop him, Shigetsu Tsujimoto raised his head with great effort, and was almost stunned when he noticed who was coming.
The pair of azure eyes staring at him remained unyielding. He simply clenched his fingers, and a broken sound came out of his throat.
"don't want……"
"don't want?"
Gin looked at the struggling man with amusement, then he slowly squatted down and stroked his finger across his jaw, then he noticed the pair of eyes that were gradually losing their luster.
Don't hit him? That's a rare request.
Unfortunately, threats in such a disadvantageous situation will only make people more willing to deprive him of his will.
In the final analysis, when all resistance was lost and people were at the mercy of others, even someone like Shigeto Tsujimoto could not escape the fate of being controlled.
However, halfway through his thoughts, the smile on Gin's face suddenly froze.
No, that's not right.
Is everything really as he expected? ? Would Shigeto Tsujimoto really allow himself to be injured like this, to fall into his hands so desperately? ?
The reason why he sent a message to him directly must be that he is very confident in his next plan. Shigetto Tsujimoto thought that Gin would not do anything to him, so he let him come.
He still remembered what Shigeto Tsujimoto had said to him - if he betrayed him again, he would kill himself.
Could this all be a scam? What is Shigeto Tsujimoto up to?
Gin's mood suddenly sank, and countless suspicions arose in his mind.
[Take him back.]
Before Gin could come to his senses, a strange man's voice came into his earphones.
[Take the other things back with you. Since it was his own negligence, he must pay the price for his negligence.]
[Gin, you shouldn't be soft-hearted when facing your former senior, right?]
Since it's the boss's order, there's no need to hesitate.
"I'll take him back." Gin slowly stood up, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
"If it's your order."
…
Considering that it didn't seem a good idea to stay here any longer, Gin finally put the potion and gems into his arms. At the same time, he stretched out his hand, picked up Shigumi Tsujimoto horizontally, and walked straight out.
If it weren't for the slightly rising and falling breathing that indicated that he was still alive, Shigeto Tsujimoto would have looked more like a pale, lifeless corpse at this moment.
It’s best to keep silent.
Compared to the talking Tsujimoto Shigeto, Gin would rather carry the corpse.
"Gimlet is so vicious?"
Noticing the late arrival of Gin Shanshan, Vermouth, who was in disguise and guarding near the yacht, showed a surprised expression.
"Who did it?"
"I don't know. Maybe Carmen."
Gin had a gloomy face and didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
"Where's the stuff?"
"In your pocket. Take it yourself."
The beautiful gem finally fell into Bermode's hands. The blonde girl looked at the gem and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
"Gimlet is indeed a member chosen by the boss. He completed the task so quickly... It seems that you also got an unexpected reward?"
"It's none of your business."
"Oh, that expression doesn't seem like you at all." Vermode still had a fake smile on his face.
"You finally took action, Gin."
“…”
Vermouth obviously noticed something.
The BOSS's orders were issued at the same time. The Heart of Tamir seemed to be very important to the BOSS, so he also attached great importance to this mission.
At the same time, he seemed to be very concerned about the progress of this mission, so much so that their every move was observed very clearly.
Vermouth should also be aware of the moment of hesitation he had in that communications room.
But Gin didn't think he had done anything wrong. He was just more vigilant than others, which was not a fault.
"Humph, you don't need to say more about that."
Gin said with a gloomy face.
Before the sky was about to turn pale, the group sneaked into the yacht under the cover of night. Next, they had to leave as quickly as possible.
But when Gin wanted to let go of Shigeto Tsujimoto and throw him on the back seat, he was grabbed tightly by the corner of his clothes.
Those deep blue eyes stared at him intently, as if expressing great dissatisfaction with him.
Gin was too lazy to pay attention to him, but it was not the right time to dawdle. So he simply sat in the back seat with him, closed the door, and let him lean on his thighs.
So Tsujimoto Shigeto's expression changed from "Kill you" to "Forget it, just kill me."
If the other party had even a little bit of strength left, Gin had no doubt that he would be thrown off the yacht.
However, a beast that has lost its ability to resist is nothing more than a cat that poses no threat.
The prerequisite is that he can always maintain this state.
Shigetsu Tsujimoto looked at the other person in despair, his pale face twisted slightly, but he finally closed his eyes resignedly and gave up the threat.
He really wants to die now.
…
【Hahahahahahaha!!!】
[What's with the disgusted expression on Sheren's face? Hahaha! It's really rare to see Sheren's expression of being embarrassed! ! ]
【Hahahaha, now the emoticon pack of [I’ll kill you when I get out] is a human-related version? Hehehe, cats who don’t care about their own cats will be taken away by wolves! 】
[Wuwuwu, how disgusting! I still want to take a bite of Sheqin! ! This is Qin Ye’s lap pillow! ! ! I’m dead! ! ]
[Involved person: Thank you, I'd better let someone else have this honor, I just want to die now]
[Hehehe, give me the knee pillow, give me Qin Ye, I can do it, I can do it completely]
[Is the sister in the above bullet screen still alive? 】
[That's not a benefit that everyone can enjoy... [Life is not easy, it makes people sigh.JPG]
[I think that it is impossible for Shibuto to be unscathed after falling from such a high place. He obviously didn’t want Yuma to worry, so he held on until here and finally couldn’t hold on any longer and fell down.]
[Brotherhood is still better! Both brothers are idiots who only care about each other...]
[I am more concerned about the Heart of Tamir. I remember that Pandora would emit a red light under the night sky, but the Heart of Tamir is not Pandora. Why does the boss of the Black Organization pursue this gem so much? ]
[Give it to my friend... Damn, could it be that it was given to him by the boss's friend? Or was it a gift from the boss to his friend?]
[I can’t imagine it. We don’t even know what the boss looks like.]
[I still think that Tamir's Heart is definitely related to Pandora. I initially thought that Sheren knew nothing, but now I think he knows everything.]
[Schrödinger's Sheren? I think Sheren probably knows half of it, but he doesn't want others to see it, so he deliberately shows his uncertainty, right?]
[That's right! If you can't even fool the audience, how can you fool the boss? ]
[But I still think that the boss will attack the person involved. It is rare that the person involved is at a disadvantage. The boss will definitely not miss this opportunity, right? ]
[Gin! You have to stand up! You must be obedient! Otherwise you won’t be able to win the heart of your senior! ! ]
…
It's impossible not to take action.
After all, the Black Organization is not a charity. It would be a joke if they really showed mercy to his men.
Shigetsu Tsujimoto tried to stay conscious. Although the system had reminded him that it would be better to go to sleep, he still wanted to remember more.
When the memory is restored, the memory before it was lost will also be restored. The longer you stay awake, the more you can gain.
However, such actions were misinterpreted as a futile struggle.
The moment the cold air poured in, the scene in front of Shigetsu Tsujimoto seemed to become much clearer. The voice beside him was vague and finally stopped in a small and quiet room.
During the period of time when his consciousness was in chaos and clarity, he saw a man in black clothes gradually approaching. He leaned over and looked at him, and his fingers gently fell and gently touched his ears.
Shigetsu Tsujimoto turned his head subconsciously, but ultimately he was unable to escape the other person's contact.
"Carmen can actually do this? I really underestimated him."
The tone was still cold and sarcastic, but this was also the first time that Shigeto Tsujimoto looked closely at the man in front of him.
He still didn't show his face. He was covered in clothes, not even his skin was exposed. The only thing he noticed was his short black hair and the masked face.
Adult male, about 29 to 34 years old. However, it is not ruled out that the old man has the possibility of staying young or using drugs to rejuvenate.
This should be the boss of the organization? He actually bothered this gentleman to come here in person... How could he be so worthy of this?
The silver-haired young man lay limply on the bed as if he had lost his bones. He was still trying to stay awake, and his eyes didn't even reveal any panic. He just stared at him quietly, like a hunter biting his prey's throat.
He wanted to completely engrave the man in front of him into his memory.
"Now that you have fallen into my hands, you should know the result."
Although wearing a mask, Shigetto Tsujimoto could still sense the fake smile behind the mask.
"Anything else you want to say?"
"…How did you find out?"
After a moment, the man's hoarse voice sounded faintly.
"You are very smart." The man smiled.
"I admit that your disguise even made me really think that you had lost your memory. Unfortunately, you were missing too much information."
"Is it the Heart of Tamir?"
Shigeto Tsujimoto had already had some vague suspicions, but he never expected it to be true.
"The Heart of Tamir is the gift you gave me." The boss chuckled.
"If you really remember, it's impossible not to have any impression of this thing. You have too many flaws."
…
Oh shit.
This is indeed unexpected. Even if Shigeto Tsujimoto banged his head against the wall, he probably wouldn't have thought of it.
According to his guess, he is most likely an important member of the Black Organization, but not important enough to be on par with the BOSS.
The reason why he has always been reckless is simply because that is his personality.
"That sounds a bit creepy." Shigetto Tsujimoto gave a weak smile.
"So what was my past identity? A friend of the Black Organization's boss? That sounds a bit impressive."
He noticed that the other party had already picked up the potion, and the meaning of his action was self-evident.
"I will tell you what you need to know sooner or later."
Cold fingers covered his eyes, and Shigetsu Tsujimoto almost subconsciously tensed his body, still feeling the sharp stinging pain piercing deep into his skin.
"It's for your own good. Sometimes, knowing too much is not good for you."
"Have a good rest. We'll talk slowly when you wake up..."
The red liquid was pushed into him little by little from the syringe, and he felt the tense body begin to relax gradually, and finally lose consciousness completely.
I don't remember any overly intense struggle, but his hands were still tightly clasped around his wrists, and he didn't let go until the very end.
It seems like he's really resisting it.
The man loosened his grip only after he felt the other's breathing become steady. He looked down at the unconscious man, and the smile on his face finally disappeared.
"Gin, you are responsible for staying."
The boss's voice suddenly turned cold. He turned slightly and looked at Gin who had appeared at the door at some point.
"If he wakes up, remember to tell me immediately. You are responsible for taking care of him until he fully recovers. I have more important tasks for you."
"...Boss, don't you plan to stay here?"
Gin leaned forward slightly, feeling somewhat confused.
"You mean I should be the first person he sees? No, that's not necessary." The boss said with a smile.
"What I need is not a former friend, but a useful chess piece. Of course, I can't appear in front of him often, so I'll leave this matter to you."
"Gin, shouldn't you be the happiest person that he's back?"
“…”
Gin didn't answer.
Are you happy?
It seems that there is no such feeling at all.
The organization's top killer seemed confused for the first time.
The boss's attitude is very clear. He does not want Shigeto Tsujimoto to recover his original memory and status. All he wants is a useful chess piece.
Compared to so-called "friends", he needs useful "subordinates" more.
The sound of a door closing came from behind, and the gentleman left quietly. Only Shigetto Tsujimoto and Gin were left in the empty room.
There seemed to be obvious rain stains on the glass windows. It was a sunny morning, but it became gloomy and depressing because of the heavy rain.
·
It was three days later when Bourbon's intelligence once again reached Yuma Tsujimoto.
Since the Heart of Tamir exhibition ended, the gem was required to be handed over to the police and has not been seen since.
As for the central character of this farce, Yusuke Tsukue, he was also dealt with secretly. When Yusuke Tsukue's purpose was discovered, many people felt horrified.
Fortunately, there were no casualties.
Because of this incident, Conan, who was at the center of the incident, naturally bore the attention of many people. However, Conan himself was also confused, and he probably didn't expect that the pot would be thrown on his head like this.
As for Black Feather Fast Fight...
After handing over the gem, he left here immediately. After his identity was exposed by Conan, he escaped in a busy schedule, leaving everyone with a handsome figure.
Fortunately, with Conan's help, the unfounded charge in the Tokyo Tower incident was finally solved. After all, the dead are the easiest to take the blame, so most of the responsibility for this incident is concentrated on Yusuke Tsukue.
Organization X should also have a certain degree of hostility towards Phantom Thief Kid. Considering that Phantom Thief Kid may also become the target of members of Organization X, Investigation Section 1 and Investigation Section 2 have temporarily reached a cooperation and intend to secretly investigate the affairs of Organization X together.
However, as the central figure of this investigation, Yuma Tsujimoto has not slept well in the past few days.
Shigeto Tsujimoto has been missing for three days.
Finally, Tsujimoto Shigetsu left Yuma Tsujimoto his hearing aid, which was also the communicator between him and Yuma Tsujimoto. The communicator also stored a lot of important information, which was indeed a great help to Yuma Tsujimoto.
As for Bourbon… the message that Tsujimoto left for him was “Don’t communicate with me during this period, I am under strict surveillance.” He did not tell Bourbon that he had received the drug.
In other words, no one knew about this except Yuma Tsujimoto.
Fortunately, Bourbon quickly intercepted the organization's next mission report and secretly passed it to Morobushi Kagemitsu, who immediately passed this valuable information to Tsujimoto Yuma.
"Carmen, a member of Organization X, has been confirmed to have been eliminated. Of course, this is only the unilateral opinion of the Black Organization." Morobushi Kagemitsu handed the USB drive to Yuma Tsujimoto.
"The next mission of the Black Organization is at an underground auction in the United States. It is said that the top item of the auction is a sapphire named [Disaster]. The mission of the Black Organization is to obtain the sapphire and eliminate [Hope], a member of the X Organization."
"[Hopefully] the target is also that gem. If I'm not mistaken, like the Heart of Tamir, this gem is likely to have some relationship with Pandora." Morobushi Jingguang handed him a stack of photos.
“The gemstone named ‘Disaster’ is a blue sapphire. It is hollow inside and carved with very delicate patterns. It is a very good work of art. This gemstone was lost among the people and eventually collected by a collector, who prepared to sell it at an underground auction.”
"Brother will definitely go there too. We must meet him and take over." Yuma Tsujimoto whispered.
"This operation will be relatively secretive, and the Japanese police may not be able to help us much," Morobushi Kagemitsu reminded.
"If you decide to go together, it might be more dangerous."
"We must go." Yuma Tsujimoto said firmly.
"If it was in the United States, could the FBI help?"
"FBI?" Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned.
"Let Shuichi Akai come to help. Rye Whiskey, you should remember him, right?"
Yuma Tsujimoto picked up the phone and started calling Subaru Okiya directly.
"Well, although, although our goals are the same, but..."
Just ask Akai Shuichi to help? ? Will he agree? ?
However, Yuma Tsujimoto ignored him. The phone rang for three seconds before being connected. A moment later, Subaru Okiya's gentle voice sounded from the other end of the phone:
"This is Okiya Subaru, may I ask..."
"Akai Shuichi, I need your help."
Yuma Tsujimoto stated his wish directly.
"In return, I can unconditionally agree to one condition that is not excessive. If you agree, I will come to you now."
“…”
Perhaps because there was too much information in one sentence, even Okiya Subaru himself remained silent for a long time.
"How do you think I can help you?"
"I need the help of the FBI." said Yushin Tsujimoto.
"Money is not a problem, but the content of the mission is rather obscure. If you are willing to help, I can tell you the specific content of the mission."
"You're really cunning, Yuuma."
The chestnut-haired young man slowly opened his green eyes, and his gaze became sharp.
"Yes, of course I can agree to that."
"I'll be at your house tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. See you later."
Yuma Tsujimoto hung up the phone, looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu who was not following the rhythm at all, and stretched his waist slowly.
"Tomorrow we will go to see Akai Shuichi. You can come with me. After all, I need your help in this operation. I can't go deep into this mission alone."
"Of course you can, but..."
"I don't trust the FBI either, especially since they are the ones who once took away my trust." Yuma Tsujimoto's eyes darkened.
"But I had no other choice."
He could not tolerate Shigeto Tsujimoto being under control all the time, and if possible, he hoped that Shigeto could recover his memory as soon as possible.
The boss of the Black Organization will definitely ask Shigeto Tsujimoto to kill Hope with his own hands... If Shigeto has lost his memory, he will probably do it without hesitation.
"You seem to be very uneasy." Zhu Fu Jingguang asked softly.
"Do you want to take a break first?"
"No."
"Go and rest first. You haven't slept for a long time."
"I don't want it."
"Yuuma, you don't want your brother to know that you didn't get enough rest, right?"
"…Morobushi Kagemitsu, you are too despicable."
The silver-haired, blue-eyed young man glared at him fiercely, but finally compromised.
Sure enough, everything is always much more convenient when it involves Tsujimoto Furuto.
Zhu Fu Jingguang thought about it with a mixture of laughter and tears.
However, this mission is indeed more difficult. After all, the United States is not under the jurisdiction of the Japanese police. If something really happens, it will be difficult for Inspector Furutani to help them.
If he can get the support of the FBI, then Yuma Tsujimoto will indeed be able to get quite good support.
But...will Shuichi Akai really agree to their request so easily?
