Chapter 57

Kuroba Kaito is running for his life.

In fact, he was not that nervous at first. Kuroba Kaito and Tsujimoto Shigeto had met before, and he felt that he should not have any excessive conflict with Tsujimoto Shigeto.

So he didn't resist much when Yuma Tsujimoto caught him in his house.

I vaguely remember that it was a normal school day, and Kuroba Kaito and his childhood friend were on their way to school. It was just a daily routine, and it was also a life that was incompatible with his life as a thief.

However, Yuma Tsujimoto suddenly appeared.

When he saw that familiar face, the smile on Kuroba Kaito's face disappeared on the spot.

"Hei Yu, I have some family matters to discuss with you alone. Is that ok?"

The man with silver hair and blue eyes stood in front of him with a smile. He was wearing a light brown windbreaker, and his long silver hair was tied up behind his head, gently falling beside his ears. Coupled with the black-framed glasses on his nose and the book in his arms, Qingzi subconsciously felt that the other person was a very gentle and easy to get along with person.

"Are you trying to deal with someone in your family? If there is any problem, it is better to solve it quickly." Aoko said seriously.

"Okay, okay."

Kuroba Kaito kept a stiff smile on his face, but was eventually taken back by Tsujimoto Yuma.

So if there is anything important, you must bring him back on the way to school!!! Don't think you can fool people just by pretending to be harmless!!!

Although he wanted to complain in his heart, Kuroba Kaito still didn't dare to disobey Tsujimoto Yuma, and finally followed him back with his schoolbag.

"What on earth are you doing? Why did you suddenly appear in the middle of the road? I'm almost scared to death by you, okay?!"

On the way back, Kuroba Kaito showed a rather dissatisfied expression, while Tsujimoto Yuma still looked harmless, blinking his eyes and saying in confusion:

"Why, did I disturb you and your dear girlfriend? If so, I apologize."

"It's not like that, okay!! She's just a childhood sweetheart, not a girlfriend!!!"

"You are very brave. Your girlfriend is even the daughter of Officer Nakamori from the Second Investigation Division. I have decided to start looking at you with a new eye."

"Why do you have to be so particular about that?! And I already said she's not my girlfriend but my childhood sweetheart!!!"

…

He was a little surprised that the person who came to see him was Yuma Tsujimoto instead of Shigeto Tsujimoto.

Shigeto Tsujimoto had promised him that he would never tell anyone about what happened between them, and he probably wouldn't tell anyone either.

However, Yuma Tsujimoto's identity is also not simple. According to Kuroba Kaito's investigation, he knows that the other party seems to have been undercover in a certain organization as an intelligence officer, and now he is working secretly in the public security...

Of course, he would not tell anyone what he knew, considering that the person on the other side was Shigeto Tsujimoto's younger brother. If he dared to tell anyone, he would be beaten up by the police officer in a matter of minutes.

After returning home, Kuroba Kaito quickly asked his assistant to prepare first, and then took Tsujimoto Yuma to the hidden room. After all, he knew that he was being taken advantage of by the brothers, so he was too lazy to continue hiding.

If he could have reported it, he would have done so long ago. Moreover, he also realized that the relationship between Pandora's gemstone and the brothers must be complicated, so if he had a good relationship with them, he might be able to share information related to Pandora.

And what Yuma Tsujimoto said next also confirmed this point.

"We have new information about gemstones. Are you interested?"

At the beginning, Yuma Tsujimoto threw the part that Kuroba Kaito was most interested in directly in front of the opponent.

"Gemstone?? Is it information about Pandora?"

Kuroba Kaito quickly became interested.

"I know you are looking for information about Pandora, and you must have made some deals with my brother. But don't worry, I won't abruptly offend your deal. You and your brother are you and your brother, and you and I are you and me."

Yuma Tsujimoto took a sip of tea slowly and continued:

"How about it? Are you interested in doing business with me?"

"Do you think I have any other choice?" Hei Yu said anxiously.

"Pfft, that seems to be the case. That's too bad, Kaito-kun."

“…”

Wow, how can this person be like this!! He is so sarcastic when he speaks!!!

"The underground auction in Los Angeles is going to auction the gemstone [Disaster] that presses the axle. From what I know, it is a very gorgeous sapphire. I need you to find a way to steal it." Yuma Tsujimoto put down his teacup.

"Just do it in your usual style. Can you do it?"

"An underground auction in Los Angeles?" Hei Yu Kaidou's expression changed instantly.

"You mean the collector Loren Cooper??? That guy is not easy to deal with... I don't think it's appropriate, right?"

"Since I have decided to let you participate in this mission, I will definitely not let you die." Tsujimoto Yuma looked at him.

"Of course, you have the right to refuse. After all, Kuroba-kun is still very useful. If he died casually, brother would be sad, right?"

"I will definitely agree!" Hei Yu quickly expressed his wish.

"Actually, I have heard of that gem... But Loren Cullen is not someone you can easily deal with. You should also know the power behind him, right?"

Although Hei Yu Kaito has a certain obsession with gems, he is also a sober person and it is impossible for him to really offend those powerful people.

But he felt a little strange about Yuma Tsujimoto's determined look.

"If I tell you that Loren Cooper is most likely one of the reasons why your father disappeared, would you still be interested in getting involved?" Yuma Tsujimoto said with a smile.

"…What did you say??"

Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, but Tsujimoto Yuma continued to speak calmly.

"As I said, although Mr. Loren appears to be a collector, he is most likely a remnant of Organization X. Brother should have told you about Organization X, right?"

"I know... Anyway, is it very likely that the disaster was caused by Pandora?" Heiyu Kaito said nervously.

"Of course not. Tamir's Heart and Disaster are not Pandora, but... don't forget one thing." Tsujimoto Yuma smiled.

"These two gems are fundamentally two different things, but is it possible that when they are combined, they will become something else?"

"Is this... really such a magical thing?" Heiyu Kaito was stunned.

"No, I'm just guessing."

"How could you do this!!!"

Although he was very anxious, Hei Yu Kaidou quickly calmed down. He sat cross-legged on the bed and thought seriously for a while. Finally, he spoke:

"I can definitely help, but how can you guarantee that I won't be affected?"

"It's very simple." Tsujimoto Yuma said slowly.

"Just shift the blame to someone else. I've done this a lot."

Black Feather Fast Fight: “…”

What's going on?! Both of you brothers are abnormal! And your abnormal ways are different! Why are you so skilled at throwing the pot?!

"As for you - rest assured, you can just steal the gems as usual. We will provide you with the best support and intelligence work." Yuma Tsujimoto continued.

"The school's police department has asked for a week's vacation for you as your guardian. Come with me to Los Angeles. Bring your equipment with you. Oh, by the way, in addition to stealing gems, there is one more easy thing I would like to ask you to do..."

It's very easy.

Well, it means trying to attract the attention of Shigetsu Tsujimoto and divert him away from Gin.

At first, Kuroba Kaito agreed very easily. He thought that given the relationship between him and Tsujimoto Shigetsu, the other party would not pursue him relentlessly and would probably understand what he meant.

However, just after he replaced the opponent's gun and took the communicator, the smiling face immediately made his heart chill.

The other party didn't look like he knew him at all.

Could he think he is not Kuroba Kaito? ? Didn't the brothers have an agreement beforehand? ? ? Why did he chase after me with a gun drawn from his waist? !

Sensing the danger, Kuroba Kaito quickly sped up. Of course, he remembered where he was going, but he was also scared by the relentless pursuit of Tsujimoto Shigeru.

"Why are you running, dear Mr. Thief? Since you have angered me, you must be prepared to pay the price for my anger, right?"

His tone was even brisk, like a lion stalking its prey, each step was firm and pressing.

As for Akai Shuichi...

Akai Shuichi disappeared.

He disappeared instantly after he led Tsujimoto Shigeto away.

This story taught him that the FBI was indeed unreliable, and Kuroba Kaito decided to put the FBI on his blacklist from then on.

Carefully climbing up from the elevator, Kuroba Kuaidou sneaked in from the compartment. He had found this path with great difficulty, and even Tsujimoto Shigetsu probably couldn't get up from here.

After he went up, he directly blocked the exit with the cabinet, so the possibility of Shigeto Tsujimoto coming up was basically zero - anyway, his purpose was just to lead Shigeto Tsujimoto away, as for where he led him, that had nothing to do with him.

Loren Cooper was still bragging at the auction, and it was clear that he would not be coming up for a while. And I was afraid that Tsujimoto Shigetsu would not be able to track him down here for a while.

Great! Isn't this a good opportunity to steal gems? !

Kuroba Kaito turned on his communicator. Yuma Tsujimoto had already told him where the gem might be hidden. At least he was 100% sure that the gem being auctioned today could not be the [Disaster]. The real Disaster should be hidden in Loren Cooper's room, or on his body.

Hei Yu Kaito once again repeated the route of the ventilation duct and quickly found Mr. Loren's room. However, when he came to the entrance and exit of the ventilation duct, the door was actually pushed open.

The young man with silver hair and blue eyes walked straight in, and Hei Yu Kuai Dou's hand was retracted instantly as if he had been touched by electricity. He curled up in the corner almost motionless, his heart beating fast.

Why is Shigeto Tsujimoto here? Shouldn't he go to the room he just went to?

Or did he figure out the route of the ventilation duct? ? It's not that serious, officer! Didn't he just steal your communicator and replace your gun? ? Is it necessary to pursue him so relentlessly? ?

Hei Yu Kaito cried, unable to express his pain.

"Um?"

As if noticing some sound from above, Tsujimoto Shigetsu gradually looked upwards. He noticed the same branch pipe opening in the corner and subconsciously walked in that direction.

He didn't know if there was anyone inside, but his intuition always told him to go and take a look.

Shigeto Tsujimoto has always trusted his intuition.

As the man's footsteps got closer and closer, and he even wanted to climb up the chair to see what was going on, Kuroba Kaito felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. The road was narrow; there was no way for him to escape. If Tsujimoto Shigetsu wanted to, he could just shoot him from behind and be done for. He had no ability to resist at all.

Fortunately, in the end, Shigeto Tsujimoto did not go up to check.

The man's gentle voice interrupted Tsujimoto's actions.

"Excuse me, sir, what are you doing in my room?"

The black-haired man wearing glasses asked politely. Although his attitude was gentle, his tone was extremely cold.

"Ah. In that case..."

Tsujimoto thought for a moment and continued to answer.

"I was looking for someone and accidentally found you here."

"Looking for someone? Are you interested in telling me what kind of person he is?" the other party asked in confusion.

"He's a thief." Tsujimoto Shigetsu said firmly.

"Sorry, I didn't know whose room this was, so I just walked in."

"If I remember correctly, I locked this door." The other party looked at him silently.

"Maybe I was just a little too strong." Shigetto Tsujimoto said innocently.

“…”

No one would believe what you said!!

Kuroba Kaito was complaining madly in his heart, but he didn't want to attract the attention of the two people below, so he didn't dare to move.

But the next sentence from the other party gave him a shock.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Loren Cooper. Sir... have I seen you somewhere before? You look familiar to me."

The black-haired man asked with a smile, but Shigeto Tsujimoto looked at him coldly for a while and finally shook his head.

"Maybe? Maybe we met before, but I don't remember anything now."

"Don't remember?"

The man was stunned for a moment, puzzled:

"Why don't you remember?? Hei...did they do anything to you?"

"They?" Shigetto Tsujimoto narrowed his eyes.

"No, I just got hit by a car and I lost my memory. What's the problem?"

Loren: “…”

Black Feather Fast Fight: “…”

Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you lost your memory? Why didn’t Yuma Tsujimoto tell him anything? He almost got killed by the other party!

But considering that if Yuu Tsujimoto really told him, he might not do it...so that guy is afraid that he will run away and deliberately said nothing! ! This is definitely the case! !

Having been tricked by his brothers, Kuroba Kaito now just wanted to let Rukuan and Noodle go. However, when he thought of Loren right below, he tried to hold his breath and listened to the conversation between the two.

"So that's it... You don't remember anything."

Loren lowered his head slightly, and a layer of sadness seemed to appear in his eyes. This feeling was obviously not fake - he was really sad.

"Great, I thought you... It seems that guy was too impulsive. He acted without understanding the situation clearly. It was a bit too rude."

"Can you speak normally?" Tsujimoto Shigetsu said with a straight face.

"Why can't I understand what you are saying?"

"Then I would like to ask, do you know anything about Tamir's Heart?" the other party continued to inquire.

"The Heart of Tamir?"

An extremely familiar feeling almost hit him in the face, but Tsujimoto Shigetsu showed a confused expression on his face. He thought hard for a long time, but still could not find any trace of Tamir's Heart in his mind.

He lost his original memory, including his past, everything about him, all was washed away completely.

The person in front of him obviously knew about his past, which made Shigeto Tsujimoto give up the idea of ​​killing him.

"It feels familiar to me, but I don't remember what happened."

Tsujimoto Wataru spoke hesitantly.

“It is indeed so.”

Loren sighed, with a somewhat sad expression in his eyes.

"I knew you wouldn't betray us. It was that bastard who deceived you! If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be in this situation today!"

"What you mean is..." Shigetto Tsujimoto became curious.

"You were originally on our side! Sheren!!"

Loren took a step forward excitedly, almost wanting to grab his hand.

“You were fooled by them!!!”

…

Can he pronounce his own name???

Although Shigeto Tsujimoto thinks his name is no longer a secret, his expression doesn't seem fake.

Loren Cooper is a member of Organization X. According to him... he seems to be a member of Organization X, but for some reason he was deceived by the Black Organization, and then he lost his memory and worked for them.

So the question is, if this is true, what about his attitude towards Gin? ? Could it be that the reason why he was tricked into staying here was also because of Gin? ?

Shigetto Tsujimoto fell into deep thought.

“But I don’t believe you either.”

After a moment, Tsujimoto gave his answer.

"Mr. Loren, it is precisely because I have lost all my memories that I will not easily trust anyone. Since you know me, you should also know why I don't trust you."

"Of course I know that." Loren shook his head.

"All I can say is that you absolutely cannot trust the Black Organization. They are just using you!!"

"Is Gin using me too?" Shigetto Tsujimoto suddenly asked.

"...Gin?"

Loren seemed to be at a loss for words at Tsujimoto's sudden question.

"Why did you mention him suddenly??"

"This has nothing to do with you." Shigetsu Tsujimoto said coldly.

"Of course it's unbelievable!!!" Loren's face turned cold.

"Don't trust him just because of his attitude! Shi Ren, Gin was once trustworthy, but that was only once!!"

"Gin is now a member of the Black Organization. Do you think he will really obey your orders like before? This is impossible!!!"

…

In just a few sentences, Shigeru Tsujimoto felt that he had taken in a lot of information and his brain was a little swollen.

"Of course I can tell you all the information, but you must agree to one condition in exchange for trust. I believe such a condition should not be difficult for you."

"What do you want me to do?" Shigetto Tsujimoto asked curiously.

"Kill Gin."

Loren's mouth curled up into a smile, and his voice was even a little gnashing.

"As long as you kill Gin, we will tell you all the information - can you agree to this condition?"

"!!!"

Kuroba Kaito almost subconsciously covered his mouth.

Shit! Did he reveal some shocking secret? He must have heard something he shouldn't have heard!

Sometimes knowing too many secrets is not necessarily a good thing. Kuroba Kaito has known this for a long time.

But now he has to accept so much news...

It's over. Will the police officer involved silence him later?

Before Kuroba could finish the fight, Tsujimoto Shigetsu's voice suddenly pulled him back from his thoughts.

"If I kill Gin, can you give me the Disaster?"

Shigeto Tsujimoto looked into his eyes, and he skillfully avoided the original question and asked the question that concerned him the most.

“…What??”

The smile on Loren's face disappeared.

"I want [disaster]." Tsujimoto went straight to the point.

"Why? Is this gem more important to you than to me?"

As expected, when the word "disaster" was mentioned, the other party's expression immediately changed.

If he was really important in Organization X as he said, then why did his expression change when the disaster was mentioned?

There is only one possibility.

Organization X did not really welcome him, or rather, they just wanted to use him instead of truly welcoming him home.

"Then your hopes may be dashed."

Loren's face changed and he raised the gun in his hand. At the same time, countless people lurking behind his door swarmed in.

"I didn't mean to express my wishes in such a rude way. Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude."

As expected, once the true identity was revealed, the original purpose was exposed.

In the final analysis, there are not many people in this world that I can trust. Most of them just want to use me.

Shigeto Tsujimoto clenched the gun in his hand, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Strength in numbers? What? You're talking as if you're the only ones with guns and I don't have one."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he quickly raised his hand in the next second.

"Unfortunately, I have a gun in my hand too."

Oops!!!

Hei Yu Kuaidou cursed secretly - but it was too late. Before the others could react, Tsujimoto Shigeto had already pulled the trigger of another gun. At the same time, another bright red rose shot out directly from the muzzle of the gun, and the red petals slowly floated to the ground, which was quite a tragic beauty.

…

The whole room fell into an even more terrifying silence.

It's over now.

Kuroba Kaito covered his face.

When Shigeto Tsujimoto regains his memory, he will probably kill himself...
