Chapter 67

As the lights gradually went out at night, the entire sea surface was finally plunged into darkness.

The silver-haired young man looked down at the sea, a communicator in his hand, with an unknown emotion in his eyes.

"Are you ready?"

"Everything is ready." The man on the other end of the phone chuckled.

"What? Are you nervous now? That's not what you promised me."

"I will definitely do what I promised." This is the answer from the other end of the phone.

"But you should also know the consequences of failure - you know what you are doing now, right?"

"Understand." Tsujimoto Shigetsu said.

"But are you sure you want to involve that person? I thought he was very important to you."

"It's because it's important that you do this." The man on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat helpless.

"You don't have to worry too much about this, Tsujimoto Furuto, just do your own thing."

"Then I'll have to trouble you again in the future, Mr. Kuroba Touichi."

"Pfft, I want to thank you for taking care of that kid Kuaidou."

“…”

Does he take care of it?

Tsujimoto Shigetsu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that except for the first encounter with Kuroba Kaito, it was Tsujimoto Yuma who was [taking care of] Kuroba Kaito at other times.

But it's not a big problem. What Yuma did could also be done by him, so he did take care of Kuroba Kaito.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto understood and hung up the phone contentedly. At the same time, he received internal information from the Black Organization.

Before the ship sets sail, he has to pretend to be a staff member and get on board first, and...

"I thought you were joking."

Gin's face didn't look very good.

"Are you sure you can handle him?"

"Do you mean by joking about just defeating the boss or getting Pandora?" Shiguto Tsujimoto asked curiously.

“All of them.”

"Then I can only say that I do have the ability to defeat the boss, and I do have the ability to get Pandora," Tsujimoto continued.

“I never do anything that I’m not sure of, but being sure doesn’t mean it will succeed 100%.”

"So where is Pandora?"

"My lineman has it." Shigetsu Tsujimoto smiled mysteriously.

"You'll understand when you meet him."

Gin probably had no idea who the "operator" that Shigeto Tsujimoto was talking about was, but it was not a big problem, after all, the focus was never on the operator.

By the time the cruise officially set sail the next day, I'm afraid the curtain had just been raised?

·

The next morning, Conan's family received a call from Suzuki Sonoko.

Since it was a week-long trip, Mao Lilan also prepared a lot of clothes and toiletries this time.

"Besides Uncle Mori, it should be you and Conan." Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly.

"I heard there are quite a few familiar faces this time! Xiaolan, guess who will be coming?"

"I don't mind." Mao Lilan smiled.

"It would be great if Shinichi could come, but if he..."

I'm afraid Shinichi still won't come.

Every time they say it will appear, it never appears in the end...

"Don't think about that guy all the time!" Suzuki Sonoko patted Mao Lilan's shoulder and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"You should be happy when you go out to play, and think about happy things. But speaking of which, didn't you say before that little brat Conan was sick? Is he really okay?"

"I'm fine!" Conan raised his hand hastily, "I'm almost recovered from my cold! Don't worry about me!"

What a joke! This incident is related to the Black Organization. How could he let Xiaolan go to such a place alone?

"That's fine, but you still have to be careful. Well, bring your cold medicine with you anyway!"

Unlike the two girls who were in high spirits, Conan was not in a very good mood at the moment.

He did try to contact the Phantom Thief Kid, but the latter never responded... Perhaps he was busy with other things.

Forget it. Anyway, let's just take it one step at a time.

What Conan didn't expect was that at this moment, Kuroba Kaito was also facing an extremely difficult situation.

"I know, I know! That's why I said I would definitely go! Look, I'm going now!!" Hei Yu Kaito raised his hands and showed a mask of pain.

"You told me not to go, but you went anyway." Nakamori Aoko stared at him.

"Tell me, are you hiding something from me? Who did you meet that made you change your mind?"

"How is that possible! I just suddenly changed my mind...:

"I don't know your character yet! You must be planning something secretly again, right -"

You can't say that it's because of Pandora's incident that she can't go on this trip because it might be dangerous...

Kuroba Kaito still has some selfish motives, but unfortunately Aoko doesn't buy it at all.

"Tuttttt."

Just when Kuroba Kaito was about to take off his mask of pain, a knock on the door caught the attention of the two. Kuroba Kaito, who was inexplicably interrupted, breathed a sigh of relief, but the moment the door was opened, he tensed up again.

"Sorry to bother you."

Yushin Tsujimoto was standing at the door, with his usual deceptive smile on his face and a paper document bag in his hand.

"I'm from the Metropolitan Police Department, and I'm here to help deliver documents to Officer Nakamori."

"Hey. Are you looking for dad?"

Nakamori Aoko understood, she quickly opened the door and motioned for the other party to come in.

"Dad is still working on a case tonight, so he might be a little busy. You should put your things down first."

"No need, I'm just here to deliver the documents." Yuma Tsujimoto handed the document to Aoko Nakamori, and his eyes naturally fell on Kuroba Kaito.

"Hey, isn't this Kuroba-san? Why are you here?"

“…”

Don't look so surprised!! The teasing expression on your face is almost overflowing!!

"So that's how it is... you two are already living together." Yuma Tsujimoto showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I'm sorry, it seems I did disturb you."

"Please stop imagining!" Hei Yu Kaidou felt that his heart was a little broken.

"Okay, no more jokes." Yuma Tsujimoto couldn't help laughing.

"I came here to say something. I'm afraid Officer Nakamori won't be able to go on this cruise. He has to investigate other cases and won't be able to come back tomorrow."

“…Huh?” Nakamori Aoko was stunned for a moment.

"It is said that the thief Kid has appeared again." Tsujimoto Yuma said seriously.

"This is a serious misconduct, so Officer Nakamori is investigating it personally."

Black Feather Fast Fight: “…”

Kuroba Kaito: “???”

The Phantom Thief Kidd is here? ? Where is the Phantom Thief Kidd you are talking about? ? ?

"So that's how it is." Nakamori Aoko nodded in understanding, with a worried look on her face.

"So Kaito said that because you were worried about me? Really, Kaito, you should at least be more direct when you speak..."

"Well……"

After all this time, that guy actually came to help me out? ?

"Oh, by the way, can you please come to my place in the evening, Mr. Kuroba? I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Hey?? Me??"

"Yes, you were also involved in the last case. I have some questions for you." Tsujimoto Yuma said seriously.

"Would you mind coming with me?"

"Okay, I understand."

Knowing that Yuu was looking for a reason to leave, Kuroba Kaito quickly agreed. After explaining to Aoko, she did not stop him and told Kuroba Kaito to be careful.

When the door finally closed, the two of them were finally far away from the original door. When they confirmed that there was no one around, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but speak:

"You took Officer Nakamori and Aoko away?"

"Of course you can take it away if you have a legitimate reason." Tsujimoto Yuma said without turning his head.

"Don't you want them to get involved? Are you not satisfied with the result?"

"I'm not dissatisfied, I just think..."

A little unexpected.

Although he seems difficult to get along with and overly selfish on the surface, he is surprisingly considerate in some matters.

They used the case to divert Officer Nakamori, and at the same time interrupted their operation under the pretext of taking him away to investigate his identity, thus protecting them.

Actually, he is a good person.

"Don't get me wrong, if it weren't for my brother, I wouldn't care about your affairs." Tsujimoto Yuma said suddenly.

"We asked you to come out early because our plan has to be carried out a day earlier. What are you thinking?"

"Okay, okay, you are right—"

Anyway, even if he told Yuma, he wouldn't admit it. After being together for such a long time, Kuroba Kaito has a deep understanding of Yuma Tsujimoto's character.

At worst, you can just go along with the other person.

"Where are you planning to go one day in advance? Directly to the ship? Or to the Metropolitan Police Department?" asked Kuroba Kaito.

His partner should be Inspector Furuya, but didn't Yuma say that he shouldn't show up? Or did he suddenly have other ideas? ?

"That's what I thought at first. But now I have changed my mind." Yuma Tsujimoto said, but suddenly stopped.

"What??"

Only then did Kuroba Kaito realize that something was wrong.

Originally, he should have been on a wide road, and because he trusted Yuma, he didn't pay much attention to the surrounding environment.

But now they were in an alley without any surveillance.

In other words...even if something happened here, no one would know.

"What do you want to do??"

The instinctive sense of danger made Hei Yu Kuaidou subconsciously want to retreat, but when he met those eyes hidden in the shadows, like dangerous creatures hidden in the deep sea, he suddenly couldn't move again.

"What? You don't trust me?"

Seeing the strange expression on Kuroba Kaito's face, Yuma Tsujimoto couldn't help laughing, and at the same time he reached out and touched the inside of his clothes.

"Do you want me to show you some surprises?"

"This isn't funny at all..."

Looking at the gun that Yuma Tsujimoto took out from his arms, Kuroba Kaito felt his head buzzing.

Could it be that the man in front of me is not Yuma Tsujimoto? ?

No, that's impossible.

"Well then, Kuroba Kuaidou."

Yuma Tsujimoto raised his hand and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at him.

"Good night."

"Bang!"

·

[Hahahaha what’s going on Douzi!! Why did you get caught all of a sudden? ? This shouldn’t happen!!]

[Yuma will definitely not attack Douzi. It seems that he is planning to send Douzi to another place in advance under the cover of night? ]

[Did Douzi finally do to Conan what he did to Conan? It's retribution to some extent. [狗头叼了花.JPG]]

[However, Yuma is much more gentle now that he can consider Aoko's family. Think about how Yuma was unwilling to trust anyone at the beginning, but now there are more and more people around him. ]

[Wuwuwuwu Yuma cat, my Yuma cat! Are you finally willing to get close to other people? ! ]

[Yuma's private clothes are also very pretty!! Woohoo! I hope Yuma can show more private clothes in the future!!! High ponytail is so much!!]

[Hey, but this involves people...]

[Shibuto is not bad, at least he has Gin... cough cough cough, now that I think about it, it seems that there is really no one around Shibuto who can make him feel at ease...]

[Wuwuwu, is it because of my brother? I know Yuma is not in good health, so I would rather let myself bear some things so that Yuma can live under the sun...wu ...

[Damn it! Don't kill yourself all of a sudden! I think Shito is quite happy being on the black side! ! ]

[Apart from the BOSS issue, I think Sheren is actually quite happy here... The BOSS is really just a thorn in Sheren's heart]

[Ahhh, this old guy Karasuma Renya is so disgusting!! When will this bastard die!!!]

[It should be soon, right? I don’t think Shetou is the type to be patient… Well, anyway, I can vaguely sense that Shetou is about to cause trouble!!]

[It’s good to stir up trouble!! Kill that old man!! Just kick him to the top!!]

[Zhao, you're not going to be promoted, are you? ? Is Sheren going to be the boss of the winery? ]

[Let’s not do that!! Let’s just beat the boss and run away!! Why go to the black organization!!]

[But the boss Sheren seems to smell good too...Ahhh, never mind! As long as we can stay close to each other in the end!! I'll eat whatever his identity is!!]

[Wuwuwu! Me too!! As long as my brother can be close to me, it’s worth it even if I have to go naked Gin.]

…

The discussion on the bullet screen was much more passionate than expected.

Shigetsu Tsujimoto pressed down the hat on his head, pushed the cart in his hand, and took two steps forward.

This time he played an ordinary waiter. After changing into the waiter's clothes and deliberately disguising himself, basically no one noticed his existence.

Pushing up the plain glasses on his nose, Shigeto Tsujimoto glanced around and finally looked away very naturally.

No... not yet, he still needs to wait.

Today's weather is quite good, absolutely perfect for sailing. But even so, Tsujimoto Shigetsu was not in a good mood.

Conan and his companions appeared on the ship just as he had imagined, but they did not seem to notice Shigeto Tsujimoto.

[How are the preparations going? Has the target person appeared?]

Hearing the voice of Bermode, Tsujimoto was silent for a moment, and finally replied:

"Not yet. The target person has not appeared yet."

[The boss trusts you very much, Shigeto Tsujimoto.]

At this moment, Vermouth suddenly called his name, with a slightly teasing tone in his voice.

[If you choose to cheat, you should know the consequences, right?]

"I know." Tsujimoto said.

"All you have to do now is wait patiently. I told you, I know where Pandora is."

[That's good.]

Bermode's voice disappeared from his ears, and a thoughtful expression appeared on Shigeto Tsujimoto's face.

It should be about time, right?

Although the operation he and Yuma discussed was a little damaging - mainly in terms of the damage to Kuroba Kaito, Shigetto Tsujimoto felt that this action was still perfect.

Well... I just hope Kuroba Kaito won't blame him too much after this.

·

When Kuroba Kaito woke up from the darkness, his head still felt a pain.

This pain was certainly not caused by any blow, but more like the soreness caused by sleeping too long.

...But he recalled that there was actually no bullet in Yuma Tsujimoto's gun, and what really made him unconscious was the sneak attack from behind.

Although he probably knew that this was for the performance effect, at least he should have been told in advance! Is it really okay to do it so suddenly? !

It was still pitch black, with hardly any light to be seen. However, I could hear a lot of people talking, and judging from the sound of the rollers, he was probably in the dining car.

"Are you awake?"

A man's voice rang in his ears, and Heiyu Kaidou was slightly startled, then he noticed that there was an earphone on his ear.

"Yuuma Tsujimoto?? What on earth are you doing?? What on earth did you do last night..."

"Hush, you'd better keep your voice down." Yuma Tsujimoto's voice rang in his ears.

"I have brought all your things here for you. After all, you should be good at disguise and deception, right?"

"What do you mean?" Hei Yu Kuai Dou was stunned for a moment.

"Do you know where Pandora is?"

"I don't know." Tsujimoto Yuma said slowly.

"But according to the script, you have already stolen Pandora."

Kuroba Kuaidou: "Wait a minute?? I don't understand what you are saying?"

"The gems are already in your place, in a box," said Yushin Tsujimoto.

"To be specific, Pandora is in your hands now."

"In my hand??"

Kuroba Kaito stood up slightly, and his fingers finally touched a box. The box was placed in the dining car with his clothes, and it was well hidden.

...No? ? Just give it to him? ?

Isn't this a bit too fast! ! ? ?

"You probably misunderstood what I meant." Tsujimoto Yuma smiled.

"I didn't give you Pandora. What I meant was - I hope you can make others misunderstand that you have taken Pandora away."

"So, there's actually no Pandora here? You just want to use this to fish?" Heiyu Kaito was stunned.

"No, of course there is one here." Tsujimoto Yuma said slowly.

"I will gradually tell you more information later. The only thing I can tell you is that you will definitely get what you want this time."

"Hey! Wait a minute!!"

Before Kuroba could ask more questions, Yuma Tsujimoto hung up the phone mercilessly. At the same time, a message from Inspector Furuya came through his communicator, asking him to follow the dining car downstairs.

Tsk, this is not a very friendly start...
