Chapter 75



Matsue Shigure: "Grrrrrrrrrrr."

System: “Speak human language.”

Matsue Shigure: "Who am I? Where am I?"

System: "How do I know? We don't have a high-end GPS positioning system."

Matsue Shigure was shocked: "!!! I want to get on the boat!"

System: "What the hell are you doing? Think about where you jumped into the sea!"

The Goddess and the Victory were sailing side by side at a distance from each other. When Matsue Shigure dropped the bomb, he dropped it in the middle of the two ships, so the explosion caused the greatest damage in the middle area.

So, as a normal human reaction, Matsue Shigure consciously jumped to the side farther away from the bomb, that is, farther away from the Victory.

In addition, because of the explosion, in order to prevent other people from getting into trouble, the Victory severed the connection between the two ships and sailed further and further away...

Matsue Shigure: “=口=!”

The player floats on the water with the help of buoyancy and looks up at the sky: "So now I am..."

The system comforted him: "There shouldn't be any large fish like sharks in this sea area. Why don't you just float and wait for someone to see you and catch you? Don't worry, I have your physical data under control. You can still hold on for now."

Matsue Shigure was greatly shocked: "Oh my god! I am not dead yet, I am really a superman!"

That being said, Songjiang Shigure now had no other options but to float, because he had specially dressed in black to show off. Floating on the sea in the middle of the night, it was pitch black and no one would be able to find him.

Oh no, Akai Shuichi is still okay, Matsue Shigure didn't throw away his glasses.

The system was annoyed by his noise. It felt that it was a victim. It should have just been watching the show, but Songjiang Shiyu coaxed it into finding loopholes in the game. Now that it had found the loopholes, Songjiang Shiyu could wait to catch the fish, but it still had to keep an eye on the data nervously to avoid making mistakes.

Damn it! It will never be deceived by this dog-like player again!

Matsue Shigure: “Everything…”

System: "If you keep talking, you'll end up drowning and flipping over!"

"Oh QAQ."

Songjiang Shiyu carefully folded his hands on his abdomen with a well-behaved look. The system began to doubt whether it was too fierce.

Suddenly, Songjiang Shigure opened his eyes and said, "Am I the daughter of the sea, Sleeping Beauty, or the Luminary version of Aladdin?"

System: “Get lost!”

******

When the boat was rafting in Matsue Shigure, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were originally on the Victory, rudely grabbed a yacht that came to support them. Enomoto Azusa also wanted to follow, but was worried that if he found someone, it might be overloaded, so he gave up in the end.

The two put on protective gear and, under the control of Mao Lilan, rushed straight to the sea area where there was still fire in the distance.

Suzuki Sonoko held the binoculars nervously: "Lan, that little brat won't be mixed into the bomb, right? He should be very sensible..."

Mao Lilan stepped on the accelerator and the yacht sped away like lightning.

Her eyes flashed with ferocity, completely lacking her usual gentleness: "Yuanzi, do you really think so?"

Suzuki Sonoko was silent for a moment. She herself didn't believe what was said.

She murmured, "But there is also Mr. Songjiang. Is he also unreliable? Although Miss Xiaozi said so——"

I can't tell at all!

It is indeed sad to ask where Conan Edogawa is at this moment when he is missed by his girlfriend and friends.

After being chased onto the yacht by Toru Amuro and driving away for a distance, Conan Edogawa suddenly remembered that in addition to the dead Rum, there was also a dying bomber Marumori Kosuke on the boat.

The people in the confrontation probably won't pay attention to Marumori Kosuke after the fight, and Matsue Shigure doesn't even mind getting a few more shots.

The detective felt that this was not a good idea.

A life is a life after all. The best thing to do is to let Kosuke Marumori survive and face legal sanctions.

There were jailbreaks, terrorist attacks, sabotage of public finances, intimidation of members of parliament, harm to the Suzuki Group...all sorts of crimes, and the sentence is either the death penalty or suspended death sentence - thinking about it this way, it's too easy for him to die like this!

The young detective thought about it and turned the yacht around to go back to find out what happened. Unexpectedly, halfway through, he heard a huge noise coming from under the sea, and the Goddess split into two halves in front of him.

Edogawa Conan: "!!!"

The huge sound waves overturned the yacht, and Edogawa Conan was almost thrown out and hit the huge wall of the ship. In desperation, he took out the expansion belt and put it on the yacht, barely stabilizing his position.

The young detective was sweating profusely, but he finally used up all his strength and, with the help of the waves, turned the yacht over, and continued to move towards the Goddess along the edge of the fire.

As for Brother Songjiang, Mr. Amuro definitely has a better solution than him... Never mind! Save whoever you see!

The yacht created white waves and slowed down as it got closer.

"Over there, over there!"

Suzuki Sonoko held the telescope, her arm resting on Mouri Ran's shoulders, and pointed excitedly at the yacht not far away.

Not far away, next to the wreckage of the ship that had not yet sunk, a small figure was standing with his back to them, doing something unknown. His yacht seemed to be damaged by the explosion and did not move.

"Xiaolan, let's move over!" Suzuki Sonoko gritted her teeth, "Quietly! He made us so worried, we must teach him a lesson!"

"Okay!" Mao Lilan agreed immediately and drove the yacht over at a slow pace. The sound of the engine was covered by the sound of the helicopter propeller and could not be heard clearly.

The two went directly to the other side of the wreckage behind Conan Edogawa's yacht.

Suzuki Sonoko made a gesture to Mouri Ran and was about to rush over to scare this little brat who made everyone worry every day, but she almost screamed when she saw the head floating in the water.

"Water, water ghost!" She gestured wildly to Mao Lilan.

Mao Lilan slowly revealed her half-moon eyes and moved over.

Maybe it was because of the close contact with the bomb that caused hearing damage, but Conan Edogawa never looked back. At this moment, he was pulling a corner of the expansion strap and wrapping it around the yacht, while talking to Kosuke Marumori, who was half submerged in the sea and was dying, waiting for rescue.

——He really didn't have the strength to pull the person up.

However, the feeling of soaking the wound in sea water must be painful enough.

Marumori Kosuke was breathing weakly and looked like he was not far from death. He asked, "Who are you... and that Matsue Shigure, who are you... cough cough!"

Conan Edogawa said coldly: "I'm just a detective. Instead of asking me, you should think about yourself. You have never repented at all!"

"It's different..." Marumori Kosuke murmured, "Matsue Shigure hasn't changed at all from nine years ago, and you too - how can an elementary school student be so amazing!"

The football that nearly gave him a concussion, the weird compression bands, and the attitude of not being afraid of danger...

Conan Edogawa pursed his lips. He seldom used all his cards in front of outsiders, let alone rum.

Fortunately, Rum is dead, otherwise his identity might be known to other members of the organization...

The bomber, who had already sensed the breath of death, trembled all over, his pupils dilated, and he revealed an almost fanatical expression, and he actually grabbed Conan Edogawa's arm.

"Ahem! You're not an elementary school student, are you?" Marumori Kosuke said excitedly, "What did that man call you? Kudo? Kudo Shinichi? Are you a dwarf?!"

Edogawa Conan: "..."

This guy didn't faint! He's too strong.

"I am not!"

Conan Edogawa was almost choked to death by the word "dwarf".

But Marumori Kosuke could no longer hear what he said. He had lost too much blood and was washed into the sea by the blast. After being soaked in sea water for a long time, he suddenly became agitated, as if he was having a last burst of energy.

The criminal who had always taken pride in doing the craziest and most immoral things had now lost the light in his eyes.

He murmured softly, "Kudo, Kudo Shinichi... Tell my wife for me that I will never regret it in my life... Money, the password to the money is her birthday, use it as you like..."

Edogawa Conan pursed his lips, not wanting to ruin his hope of having his property confiscated, and just whispered "OK".

The man tilted his head and lost his breath. The frightened little detective sat on the yacht, staring blankly at the chaos.

I wonder what kind of story Marumori Kosuke has that could make him like this——

"Shinichi."

Suddenly, a faint shout came from behind. It was too familiar. Edogawa Conan was not on guard at all. He responded subconsciously: "Hmm?"

Suddenly, he turned around, his hands caught on the slippery edge of the yacht, and he fell into the sea.

**************

Morobushi Kagemitsu had already pulled the unconscious Amuro Toru onto the yacht.

Although the bombs were replaced by less powerful optical dummy bombs, they were still inherently dangerous.

As he did not flee the area in time and even wanted to stay and search, Toru Amuro was lucky not to be completely blown into the sea by the subsequent bomb explosion.

Morofushi Jingguang frowned and took off his coat, bandaging the wound on Amuro Toru's shoulder that was cut by something unknown. The unconscious young man struggled, grabbed his wrist and said weakly: "Who?!"

Morofushi Kagemitsu did not move. He quietly watched Amuro Toru open his eyes, revealing one black eye and one purple eye, which met his blue-gray eyes.

Both of them were in disguise at the moment, but just like Morofushi Kagemitsu could recognize Amuro Toru at a glance, Amuro Toru could also recognize him when he did not deliberately hide his aura and habits.

Not to mention, he wasn't wearing a mask like the last time we met.

"Zero." He smiled and called her softly, "I'm back."

"...Hiro?"

The young man leaning stupidly on the yacht stammered and tremblingly uttered a name that he had never uttered for many years.

The next moment, he suddenly sat up, grabbed Morofu Jingguang by the collar, and clamped his neck with unprecedented violence.

The hand is warm, the pulse is beating, it is alive, disguise, disguise...

Toru Amuro's mind was in a mess, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. He felt up along Morofuku Kagemitsu's neck and found a bulge behind the ear.

This is the wound left over from a fight when they were children.

He coughed violently and grabbed Zhu Fu Jingguang's collar in disbelief. After shivering a few times, he still did not tear off his disguise directly.

"Impossible, how could it be Hiro? Didn't Hiro already..."

"Zero, it's me, I'm not dead." Zhu Fu Jingguang was still thrown by You Tongran, and he said in a hoarse voice, "The specific process is a bit complicated, I will explain it later.

How are you now? Where are the instructors? Did Instructor Songjiang go with you? And what about Rum now? I just saw Gin leave!"

The series of questions left Toru Amuro standing still.

He let go of Morofu Jingguang's collar and looked at the flames still burning around him in a trance. The aftermath of the explosion carried the oil exposed by the cruise ship, turning the sea into a warm orange color. The ferry was still sinking, and it was a mess at first glance.

In short, no other figures were seen.

"Matsue..."

Amuro Toru squeezed out this name, covered his head in panic, and paused for a full second before remembering what had just happened.

The ferry suddenly exploded and Gin was forced to leave early. Matsue Shigure broke free from Gin's threat and control, but did not choose to survive, but jumped into the sea in front of everyone.

He clearly jumped down, but was pushed away by the blast and hit the wreckage directly. When he came to his senses, there appeared in front of him - Morobushi Kagemitsu?

Although the man in front of him was wearing a disguise, there was a gleam in his eyes that he was most familiar with, not to mention that the things he said casually were all past events that no third person in the world knew.

But how could Morofushi Jingguang still be alive...

If Hiro were alive, then who was his hatred directed at all these years?

"Hiro, he's alive." Amuro Toru covered his forehead, trembling even as he spoke. The biting cold flowed into his blood with his breath, freezing his thoughts. "Then I..."

His mind went blank, leaving only an image.

The pale-faced blond young man looked up at the muzzle of his gun, faced his question calmly, and said:

【I am not an undercover police agent.】

Hiro is alive...

So what did A do?

Toru Amuro still remembers that day, he received a unified email, saying that the public security undercover Scottish whisky intelligence was leaked and was executed by Gin.

A added another achievement to his resume.

"Zero, you might have had a concussion. Take a deep breath. By the way, did the instructor also fall into the water? Don't worry too much. With the instructor's ability, he can still save himself. We just need to hurry and find him!"

Morofushi Kagemitsu held onto Toru Amuro's shoulders and comforted the young boy who was a little emotional at the moment.

He always had an inexplicable trust in Matsue Shigure. In the last mission, the other party was able to keep everyone in the dark and achieve his goal with ease. There was no reason for an accident to happen this time when he was well prepared.

"It's different." Toru Amuro quickly calmed down. Or maybe it wasn't calm, but the habit accumulated over the years made him reveal an almost indifferent rationality.

Just a few minutes ago, when he pointed the gun at Songjiang Shigure, his heart was in turmoil, but on the surface he remained terrifyingly calm.

He whispered, "What if he doesn't want to protect himself? Hiro, what if he doesn't want to protect himself?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang's pupils shrank.

He had never seen Toru Amuro in such a ferocious state. Even though he kept muttering his name, he knew that Toru Amuro would not be so excited as to lose his mind just because of his appearance.

Therefore, the problem can only be with Matsue Shigure.

With a bad premonition in his heart, Morofu Jingguang gritted his teeth and maintained his calm on the surface: "What exactly is Rum's plan?"

"Rum is dead." Amuro Toru took a deep breath, as if he couldn't catch his breath. "Gin also failed. He didn't catch Matsue. I deflected his bullet with my bullet, but..."

If it weren't for this, it would be a perfect plan.

Morofushi Kagemitsu: “But?”

"But Songjiang detonated the bomb and the ship blew up." His voice was hoarse as if it had been burned by fire, "and he jumped into the sea in front of me."

It was impossible for Matsue Shigure not to see him at that time, or rather, even if he couldn't see him clearly, he could still hear his voice.

But he didn't give him a look, there was only the sky in his eyes.

Like a bird that stopped briefly, it disappeared from sight in an instant.

It's so close...

Amuro Toru even wondered if Matsue Shigure would not have chosen to jump if he had not appeared. Was it because of him...

The sea breeze took away the remaining heat in the body. The man's lips turned pale and his body was soaking wet. He looked as frail as a homeless stray dog.

Zhu Fu Jingguang's hands trembled for a moment, and he subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Hiro, do you know he is A?"

"I just found out about this recently," said Morobushi Jingguang. "My information was at risk of being leaked back then, so the instructor encrypted it for me and re-edited it to preserve my identity.

That gentleman sent Rum and I abroad overnight because of the rebellion in the branch... I couldn't find a chance to contact you, and I was only released from custody recently."

Several years of turmoil were lightly condensed in a few sentences. The cause was nothing more than a piece of data that A had casually changed. Unfortunately, this data did not exist, and no one could hide the fact that Scotland's identity was exposed.

Morofushi Jingguang still feels scared when he thinks about it now. At that time, in order to find a candidate who could stabilize Northern Europe, the boss checked everyone's information. It happened that his information was within the scope of the public security undercover's authority.

Thinking about it this way, even though Matsue Shigure's memory was being cleansed from time to time, he was still able to find a way to help him erase the loopholes. It was simply——

Unbelievable.

A, who was in a state of irritability all the time due to his headache, could only have a moment of peace when he was asleep. In other words, his memory was restored and cleared extremely quickly and in a very short period of time.

Zhu Fu Jingguang still remembers the last time he saw A before he left. The young man was crouching on the workbench with half of his face covered by a hood, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his fair cheeks.

He slept restlessly in the room with the sound of data dripping, but he was not alarmed.

What was Instructor Songjiang thinking when he helped him at that time?

Morofushi Jingguang didn't know, he only knew that he still owed him an apology and thanks.

And now is the time when he is closest to the truth.

But Toru Amuro did not ask any further questions, he had already got the answer he wanted.

Was Morobushi Kagemitsu's data tampered with by A? Yes.

Has Morobu Jingguang's undercover identity been discovered? No.

Is Morofushi Kagemitsu dead? No.

Toru Amuro gradually lost his strength. He shivered as if he had a chill and slowly slid down onto the yacht.

"What about Songjiang...does he know that you are not dead?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang whispered: "The instructor probably didn't know this before."

His departure was too sudden, and all the information about "Scottish Whisky" was destroyed. Except for the fact that he was not dead, everything has been settled.

A, who was trapped in the organization at that time, naturally could not understand these things.

Toru Amuro closed his eyes.

If Matsue Shigure didn't know that Morobushi Kagemitsu was still alive before, then after seeing Morobushi Kagemitsu's tomb, he would not deliberately mention him in front of them.

He even felt that the data he had tampered with was useless, but it still led to the exposure and execution of Moroki Jingguang. Faced with the bloody merit of killing students on his back, he could only endure it.

At the same time... you have to face the hatred from him.

"I hate A." Amuro Toru murmured in a low voice, "Hiro, I have hated him for a long time. The evidence points to him being the one who leaked the information. Gin also said so, but he never explained it."

"Two years ago... I teamed up with the Public Security Bureau to frame A, causing him to be shot and thrown into the sea as a traitor by Gin. Just now, I questioned his identity face to face, breaking the last peace... He jumped because of me."

Zhu Fu Jingguang was pinned to the spot, his eyes full of disbelief.

Toru Amuro's expression was very calm, but his tone became increasingly depressed, like the low pressure on the eve of a rainstorm, making it difficult for people to even breathe.

"...Zero, is what you said true?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu couldn't believe it. He let go of Amuro Toru's hand and looked around in confusion.

Amuro Toru slowly lowered his head. He couldn't tell what emotions were violently hitting his heart at this moment. He was just wrapped up in the emotions and told the truth to Morobushi Kagemitsu, as if he was confessing and praying to God.

"He wanted to hide the fact that he was A from me. I thought... I thought he was afraid to face you, and in order not to disrupt the status quo, he used deception to treat me."

Amuro Toru believes that Matsue Shigure knows everything, and when his personality is put together normally, he has a "good memory" as he said himself.

Two years ago, when he was A, he had already realized the truth and was determined to die, so he found various ways to get himself killed.

However, at that time, he had not thought about "revenge", and finally he survived.

Zhu Fu Jingguang trembled and said, "But half a month ago, he already knew that I was still alive!"

"In this case, why not just tell Zero directly—"

As Zhufu Jingguang was talking, he stopped.

He remembered that he had not yet made up his mind to survive the probation period and had not contacted anyone else.

Matsue Shigure didn't know his current true position, so naturally he couldn't tell anyone about his affairs, let alone to Amuro Toru.

"He won't tell me about it."

Amuro Toru said softly: "Hiro, Matsue knows that I was the one who did what happened two years ago. Just now, he admitted it in front of Gin, eliminating the suspicion of Bourbon."

The salt left behind after the seawater evaporated made Amuro Toru's eyes hurt. Some physiological tears welled up, but they were quickly dried up. Finally, he gave up any resistance and let the stinging pain climb up to his brain.

He also roughly understood why Songjiang Shigure had always wanted to hide it from him.

I just felt that since things had already happened, it would be better to focus the hatred on him to save the students from feeling sad.

"but--"

When the "truth" came out, Matsue Shigure was facing the muzzle of Amuro Toru's gun.

All the efforts in the past seemed to be meaningless.

Amuro Toru said in despair: "He probably thought I was going to break up with him."

The choice they made two years ago, which seemed to be fooled by fate, now revealed its terrible consequences to them.

Matsue Shigure had just complained to Hagiwara Kenji and the others at noon that he was afraid of water and didn't even want to swim, but at night he jumped into the sea so decisively.

[Mr. Amuro, Brother Matsue's mental state is very bad. You looked really scary just now.]

[Please comfort him if you can.]

Boom——

It seems like a heart is beating.

[I…didn’t kill anyone, not many people.]

Toru Amuro discovered the truth at the most inappropriate time. His seemingly restrained impulse was like the sky falling in the eyes of a person who was already devastated.

Not only did everything that was hidden in the past vanish into thin air, it also meant that he and his students could never go back to the past. The self-deceiving righteousness of the past was completely shattered, leaving only a mess.

[I am not an undercover agent, I am A.]

A criminal who will be pointed at gunpoint by the police.

The regretful mood reached its peak after Morobushi Kagemitsu appeared. Amuro Toru buried his face in his hands tiredly, and his whole body was trembling.

How can he salvage this mess?

Morofushi Jingguang's breathing was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and even his words were incoherent. He was speechless in front of the nearly collapsed Yu Xunran. He never thought that the things caused by him would be so cruel.

"Let's find him first..." After a while, he mechanically said, "Let's find the instructor first. We will definitely find him. It's only been a while since the explosion. This is near the coast. There are no dangerous fish. Even an unconscious person can float up."

"Zero, can you confirm the location where the instructor fell into the water?" Zhu Fujingguang held the phone and looked around, "The police are already searching, we are now..."

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the distance, and a yacht that obviously did not belong to the police was blown to pieces as it approached.

A yacht sailing against the wind and waves suddenly came towards them. Before the grenade landed on the boat, the man driving the boat twisted his arm and threw it into the sea nearby.

"Bang!"

Morofushi Kagemitsu and Amuro Toru held on to the yacht subconsciously, but were still splashed with water.

"This work clothes...Toru Amuro?" Akai Shuichi's low voice came from the yacht.

Amuro Toru wiped the water off his face and said hoarsely: "What are you doing? Songjiang he——"

"No need to look for him." Akai Shuichi interrupted him and adjusted the receiver in his ear. "I just blew up the yacht that Chianti and his men were looking for, which barely delayed them for a while. Since you have nothing to do, come with me to rob them."

"Where are the people?"

Akai Shuichi's voice was cold and murderous. He said word by word: "Vodka!"
