Chapter 65

As Kuroba Kaito was usually recruited to work, he naturally did not miss this cruise operation.

Kuroba Kaito had just finished class when he received a call from Yuma Tsujimoto. His childhood sweetheart looked like he wanted to say something to him, but before he could finish, Yuma Tsujimoto sent him another message.

[Come over in the evening and talk about the next plan.]

Kuroba Kaito had no words to express his pain.

Of course he had to go. After all, he had promised to go with them. He couldn't go back on his word later, right?

After finally parting with Aoko, Kuroba Kaito called Tsujimoto Yuma almost immediately. The moment he heard the other party's lazy voice, he became even more furious.

"I say! It's okay on normal days!! But please don't send me messages when I'm in class!!"

Kuroba Kaito angrily expressed his dissatisfaction and anger.

"It's not like I'm not going! I even canceled my date with Aoko because of this action!!"

"If you are not interested in Pandora, you can of course choose to go back for a date." Yuma Tsujimoto said suddenly.

"My point is not Pandora...wait a minute?? What did you just say??"

Kuroba Kaito reacted quickly. He looked at Tsujimoto Yuma in shock, but the latter didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Pandora, the gem you've been looking for." Yuma Tsujimoto tapped the table lightly.

"What? Is it weird?"

“You found it so quickly???”

Perhaps the surprise came too quickly, Hei Yu Kaidou even felt it was a little unreal.

"We have also found some news about your father. This is the result of our investigation." Yuma Tsujimoto looked him up and down with a slightly sarcastic expression.

"Of course, if you care more about your date with the policeman's daughter, I can understand that."

Kuroba Kaito: “…QAQ”

Yuma Tsujimoto, it turns out that you feel uncomfortable if you don’t argue with him for a day, right?

"I didn't know it was such an important matter at first... Never mind, let's not talk about this for now. What should I do next?" Heiyu Kaito continued to ask.

"Just like before, you just need to follow my orders." Yuma Tsujimoto continued.

"This time you will be working with the police department - should that be okay?"

"Cooperate with the police... What do you mean? Didn't you say you would keep my identity secret?" Kuroba Kaito gradually had a bad feeling.

"I can also 100% guarantee that I will not tell anyone about you." Tsujimoto Yuma smiled and looked at Kuroba Kaito.

"And I've also considered what you said to me before. It's true that it's not good to always interfere with your private life. It would be better to just change it to this."

During this cruise, it is said that the gem called "Pandora" is hidden on the ship.

But this ship is not some shady cargo ship, but a luxury cruise ship for tourists.

The reason why Yuma Tsujimoto said that Kuroba Kaito could directly participate this time was because he also received an invitation from the cruise ship.

"Wait a minute, the cruise ship you're talking about is not that cruise ship???" Kuroba Kaito responded.

"I remember Aoko told me that she wanted to go with me... Hey!! Is this true?! How could Pandora appear in a place like that?? Normally, shouldn't it appear on a cargo ship or something like that?? :"

"You also said it was [under normal circumstances]." Tsujimoto Yuma looked at him silently.

"Obviously, this is not [normal]."

"What about Officer Nakamori??"

"He will go too," said Yushin Tsujimoto.

"Going on a cruise with... with Officer Nakamori? Is this really okay?" Kuroba Kaito was shocked.

"But why do we have to drag them into this matter? Isn't this our own problem?"

"It's not that we want to involve them, but this matter itself cannot be avoided." Tsujimoto Yuma said calmly.

"First, there are many people participating in this cruise, not just Officer Nakamori and his daughter, but also children and bigwigs from all walks of life. Do you think if we tell Officer Yu Nakamori this news, he will really choose to abandon the others?"

"The most important thing is that the Black Organization probably doesn't want to make a big deal about this. After all, if one more person knows about the Immortality Stone, it will be disadvantageous to them. In addition, the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely protect the cruise ship, so you don't have to worry too much."

"I understand..." Hei Yu Kuaidou sighed helplessly.

He said why Qingzi looked so excited today, maybe it was because of this trip?

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go on a date with Aoko...but he can’t be happy on a date in a place like this.

"You can contact Inspector Furuya when the time comes." Tsujimoto Yuma said suddenly.

"He will contact you later. I'm afraid I'll be missing for a long time this time. You have to make some decisions on your own."

"I understand—" Hei Yu Kaito said lazily.

"By the way, where is your brother? Logically, he should also be involved in this mission, right? Or will he contact us as one of the Black Organization's undercover agents?"

"That's not your concern."

After Yuma Tsujimoto finished speaking, he quickly disappeared from Kuroba Kaito's sight.

It was strange, for a moment, Hei Yu Kaito actually smelled a sense of tension from the opponent.

Is he nervous? Or...worried about his brother?

That's right, Shigeto Tsujimoto looks calmer than Yuma Tsujimoto, but in fact, Shigeto is much more impulsive than Yuma. If he plays a game with the Black Organization and it gets a lot of fireworks, I'm afraid Kuroba Kaito won't find it strange.

I don't know what Tsujimoto Shigetsu is going to do next...

·

The moment Yuma Tsujimoto drew the curtains, the entire room was finally plunged into absolute darkness.

The room was so quiet that when I closed my eyes, I could even hear the breathing clearly.

The silver-haired young man lowered his eyes slightly. He noticed the message sent on his mobile phone not long ago. The blue light of the screen reflected the pale face.

The message "Incoming call" was clearly displayed on the screen, and the familiar name stung his eyes.

[Shigetsu Tsujimoto]

As expected, he called.

Do you want to answer it?

The finger hung in the air for a long time, but finally pressed down. For a moment, the only sound left in the silent air was the breathing of the two people.

"Yuuma?"

A familiar voice rang from the other end of the phone, and there seemed to be a smile of relief in it.

"Brother."

Yuma Tsujimoto closed his eyes and asked softly:

"What do you want from me?"

Both of them knew what was going on at this moment, and the brief silence revealed their current mood.

"You should know the information I revealed to you, right? You should also be very clear about what I will do next." Shigetto Tsujimoto said lightly.

"Of course I know."

"Don't you have any ideas? About the Black Organization, about the boss, about everything I hid from you..."

"If my brother wants me to go, then of course I will go." Yuma Tsujimoto replied in a low voice.

"Really? Then I hope you can go to a grand banquet as you said before." Tsujimoto Shigetsu's voice sounded cold.

"I am waiting for your arrival."

“…”

The call was quickly disconnected.

The silver-haired young man dropped his phone on the table, and his expression seemed to change. His eyes gradually looked through the gap in the window curtains, and the clear moonlight leaked onto the table, like a thin silver line drawn with a pen.

[You should know what to do next.]

He knew what he had to do.

"Yuuma?? Are you in there?"

Soon after, the figure of Morobushi Jingguang came from outside the door. He did not push the door open immediately, but knocked on the door politely.

"If you have anything to say, please tell me. Inspector Furuya just came back. If it's inconvenient for you to see him, I can tell him in advance."

"Give me three minutes, I'll be out soon." Yuma Tsujimoto's voice rang out from the darkness.

"Don't worry about me...our next plan is more important than that."

"I understand." Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded and stopped asking questions.

He knew that Yuma Tsujimoto must be the one who felt the heaviest about this matter. After all, as a member of the Black Organization, Shigeto Tsujimoto was bound to confront them. Under the control of the Black Organization, it was difficult for Shigeto Tsujimoto to have room to act on his own.

If possible... he still hoped that the Tsujimoto brothers would not meet in such a situation in the end.

…

[The result is still a confrontation between brothers, right?]

[Wuwuwu!! I don't believe it!! Actually, the reason why Shigeto called Yuma was not to declare war!! He was protecting his brother!! You think, he called Yuma while being monitored, in fact, he was also to remind Yuma [I'm always on the boat]! 】

[I think so too... If that old man Karasuma Renya wants to do something behind my back again... Damn it! Shibuto oh Shibuto, don't do anything to Yuuma!!!]

[After being hypnotized, Sheren took the initiative to tell Pandora that she was on this cruise ship. It seems that Sheren really knew the secret of that year...]

[It's not easy for the boss to restore Shi Ren's memory and get Pandora's information. Anyway, I'll put Kidd here first. ]

[Hahahahaha, could it be that Youzhen knows from a God's perspective that Kidd is good at defeating Gem? After all, Kidd will definitely be on any set with Gem! ]

[It's so funny. Kidd is caught by Yuma to work as a part-time worker. Now he has become a tool for catching gems. 】

[Yuma: Karasuma Renya, do you think this gem is beautiful? It’s gone now! ]

[But speaking of it, if Pandora can be found, the story of Kuroba Kaito should be revealed step by step, right? Thinking about it this way, Yuma actually cares about Kaito. ]

[Do you mean the capitalist-style concern that involves working overtime every day? Hahahahaha]

[It seems that the two brothers are very similar in some ways. ]

[The lineup this time also looks very luxurious. I guess it's the same one from the movie version. If the Sonoko, Ran, and Conan team show up again, it feels like there's going to be trouble again. ]

[But I am very curious. Although Pandora is said to be the stone of immortality, how can a stone make people immortal? I can't imagine it at all.]

[We'll know when the time comes! After all, the person involved only said half of the story. I'm afraid he himself doesn't even know where Pandora is.]

[No matter what! I bet on eight eggs, but it will come late! ]

[Well, apart from anything else, I still hope that Shibuto and Yuma can return safely this time...]

…

Shigetsu Tsujimoto looked at the bullet screen flashing before his eyes, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

It seems that the phone call he just made was indeed a good one. The audience in the barrage also believed that he had been brainwashed and completely belonged to the black side.

Karasuma Renya would certainly not be idle and let him call Tsujimoto Yuma, but this did not prevent Tsujimoto Shigeto from putting the blame directly on Karasuma Renya's head.

Karasuma Renya, whose old body is about to collapse, does not have much time to care about Tsujimoto Yuma's affairs. His physical condition does not allow him to go out often. Tsujimoto Shigetsu suspects that this is the reason why he did not attack himself personally.

Fortunately, he chose Gin, which made it easier for Tsujimoto to take action.

If it were anyone else, they would have just killed him directly... Dealing with corpses and creating fake identities would also be troublesome, so Gin is more convenient after all.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto leaned back, let himself fall on the soft bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

Even he was a little tired.

Whether it's shuttling back and forth in the Black Organization or trying to maintain his identity in the Metropolitan Police Department, it's already tiring.

Perhaps it was because too much time had passed that he could no longer remember what kind of life he lived in his original world.

Time can wear away all strong emotions and memories, which is better than any brainwashing technique. But the more this happens, the more uncomfortable Tsujimoto feels.

He was very sure that he wanted to go home, but even if he really went back, would he be able to get used to his original life?

The peaceful and tranquil life that he once longed for seemed to gradually fade with the passage of time.

It always feels a little scary...

"What are you doing?"

Just as Shigeto Tsujimoto closed his eyes and let himself immerse in the darkness, the man's cold voice rang in his ears.

"...Gin?"

Shigeto Tsujimoto half opened his eyes and saw the silver-haired man staring at him from above.

His expression looked a little weird, or indescribably awkward.

"Just a short break - what? Are we going to start the action now?"

He continued to lie down, seemingly not caring about the other person's gaze.

To be precise, the two of them are now in an accomplice relationship, so there is no need to put on a hypocritical attitude like before.

"Proposal..."

"It's already been written. It's on a nearby table."

"Routes and tickets——"

"I've bought it a long time ago - if you want to find a topic to talk about, we can actually have a normal conversation." Shigeto Tsujimoto said patiently.

“…”

There was another awkward silence.

"call--"

Shigeto Tsujimoto stood up slowly, his face clearly showing some fatigue.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. You know I still have a lot of things to deal with - the boss doesn't completely trust me either, and it's hard for me to continue living here."

"I'm not the person you think I am, Gin. I'm just an ordinary person. You can't get anything more from me."

"That's just a thing of the past." Gin snorted coldly.

"I won't dwell on the past any more. If you want to leave, just leave once it's over."

"Is there such a good thing??"

Shigeto Tsujimoto's eyes lit up.

“…”

Although no words were spoken, Shigeto Tsujimoto could feel that the other person's eyes were as if he wanted to kill him.

"Well, I shouldn't have shown such an obvious expression." Tsujimoto Shigetsu patted his face and laughed.

"I'm definitely not going to leave easily, but it's nice of you to think so. After all, I never want to stay in such an overly depressing place."

"Of course, Kurosawa Jin, if you don't want to, I can take you away. The choice is yours."

It’s not that I don’t care at all, but I don’t care as much as before.

However, if the ferocious wolf hiding in the shadows was still willing to follow him, he wouldn't mind taking it away.

But Yuma will probably be completely furious...
