"The gem has been taken away by the thief Kid." Takagi Wataru heard their conversation and walked over and said, "Sir, water police...why don't you go to the hospital to treat your wounds first?"
Shui Shang Che also frowned slightly: "With so many of you, can you still let the thief Kidd take him away?"
Takagi Wataru looked embarrassed: "Well...because the murders happened at the same time, the order at the scene was too chaotic, there was nothing we could do."
The officer in charge of tracking down the thief Kidd was not from their investigation unit, but as a police officer, he had to take the blame anyway.
Shui Shang Che also glanced at him and continued to walk towards the hall without wavering. Zhu Fu Jingguang chased after him: "You just told me at that time to come and take the gem back."
"Mizukami Sosuke will also come to get the gemstone." Mizukami Che firmly said, "There's no way he won't come."
"Besides, I think he may have already gone to work with the thief Kidd."
Zhu Fu Jingguang did not figure out the relationship between the two, but just felt that it was a little incomprehensible.
He followed closely, trying not to touch Shui Shang Cheye's wounds with his movements: "That weird thief Kidd has already taken the gems away, they can't be in the hall, right? Instead of waiting aimlessly, why not let Mr. Ranbu help to deduce..."
Shui Shangche also paused, the cold sweat on his face was particularly clear under the reflection of the light. He glanced at Zhu Fu Jingguang coldly, like a wild cat that was extremely difficult to woo, and said, "Intuition."
Morofushi Kagemitsu: ...It's a damn intuition!
But no matter what, Morobushi Kagemitsu's bandaging technique was still good. Although the cloth used as a temporary bandage was stained with blood, at least it stopped dripping.
The two returned to the messy hall.
The backup power supply is still on. Looking around, all you can see are various plates and cakes lying on the ground. The table with the gems is empty. Even the arrest equipment is not used.
There were still people staying in the hall cleaning up in groups of three or four, but Mizukami Cheya's eyes were fixed on the two people standing next to the exhibition stand.
Heiyu Kaidou, who had changed his clothes long ago and was casually disguising himself as a passerby, was standing beside the stage with his hands in his pockets, chatting with a young man with a faint smile on his face. The young man looked similar to Shui Shang Che, but his pair of red eyes looked like swaying red wine under the light, which was quite eye-catching.
"As expected, you're here." Shui Shang Che also laughed softly twice, and walked up to the two of them under Zhu Fu Jingguang's vigilant and puzzled gaze.
"Where is the person you are talking about?" Kuroba Kaito looked at the smiling Mizukami Sosuke holding the gem and looking left and right, and deeply suspected that he had been tricked.
Mizukami Sosuke said casually: "Anyway, I feel like I haven't left yet--"
"Mizukami Sosuke, long time no see." A slightly hoarse voice came from beside the two of them. The man, who had experienced a kidnapping and looked a little mad, put his left hand on the wound on his right hand, walked to their side steadily, and looked at him coldly.
The smiling face of Mizukami Sosuke suddenly turned cold. He flipped his hand, put the pocket watch into his pocket, and said coldly: "I won't give the pocket watch to you."
Hei Yu Kaito frowned deeply, realizing that he seemed to be involved in other troubles, especially the man standing next to this person, who looked at him as if he wanted to arrest him.
Shui Shang Che also coughed twice and slowed down his voice somewhat uncomfortably: "This gem belongs to the Shui Shang family. Since you have already defected, how can you say that it is yours?"
"Or do you really think that if you change your name to Suzumiya Kazuki, you can really become him?"
The atmosphere suddenly condensed, like a pot of oil before it boiled, but with a hidden tranquility. Mizukami Sosuke clenched his hands into fists, looking at Mizukami Cheye with eyes that seemed to want to bite him, as if the fist would fall on his face in the next second.
"Am I right? At least a large part of his death is to blame on you." Mizukami Cheya's mouth was like a knife, stabbing straight into his brother's heart. Even Morofushi Jingguang who was standing next to him couldn't help but wanted to raise his hands to cover his chest.
——That's too toxic…
Although he had already figured out most of the troubles in the Mizukami family, he still couldn't understand how the three brothers had ended up in this situation, and what happened to Mizukami and Shu who had never appeared.
Mizukami Sosuke took two deep breaths, and his cheeks, which were already slightly flushed due to excitement, now looked even brighter because of anger.
Perhaps being sharp-tongued is a tradition of the Mizukami family, and he retorted without hesitation: "So are you really going to return the gems to the Mizukami family now that you want them back? Since it has nothing to do with you, who are you pretending to be for?"
"Hand over the gem." Mizukami Cheye's face turned as pale as the tiles on the ground. His eyes were a little colder, not provocative, but murderous. "If I remember correctly, the ownership of this gem is still in the hands of the Suzuki Group. The auction will have to wait until tomorrow. What qualifications do you have to hold it?"
"Or..." He turned to look at the dull-looking Kuroba Kaito, the malice in his eyes almost overflowing from his words, "Now the thief Kid is no longer satisfied with teasing the police, but wants to really steal and rob in front of them?"
Kuroba Kaito, who never hurts anyone and always returns the gems he takes: ...He is not, and he doesn't want to.
But looking at Mizukami Sosuke who was about to stab him to death with his eyes, he chose to stand there and watch without saying a word.
After all, compared to committing this crime, he was more afraid that Mizukami Sosuke, who knew all the inside information, would reveal all the information about his family.
This is the only way for the high school thief who has no idea what it's like to go to jail to comfort himself.
However, it is a proven fact that the ownership of the gemstone is in the hands of the Suzuki Group. Even if it was lost accidentally by Mizukami Sosuke, it still changed its owner after being auctioned off.
Therefore, knowing that he was in the wrong, Mizukami Sosuke skipped the topic directly and didn't want to pay any attention to Mizukami Cheye. He just straightened his clothes and walked towards the exit. The two passed each other.
Mizukami Che did not make any extra movements. He just watched Mizukami Sosuke walk to the door expresslessly and hide in the darkness.
Zhu Fu Jingguang seemed to want to say something but hesitated, as he felt that this conversation shouldn't end so anticlimactically.
Heiyu Kaito felt that he had gone from being the protagonist of the day to a nobody who no one cared about. Then, looking at Zhufu Jingguang's sharp eyes, he suddenly lost interest in staying and ran away in another direction.
"Ahem." Shuishang Che also coughed twice, as if he couldn't hold on any longer. He placed one hand on the table and whispered to Zhufu Jingguang, "Help me follow Shuishang Sosuke and see where he is going."
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked hesitant and whispered, "Mr. Mizukami, are you really okay with your injury..."
Shui Shang Che also looked at him tiredly: "If you don't want him to die, help me stop him, otherwise--"
He pulled out a thumb-sized bottle from between his fingers, with an unknown liquid surging inside.
Morofushi Jingguang's hesitant expression instantly turned into horror. He stared at the other person in disbelief, his cat eyes wide open: "Mr. Mizukami - you can't do that!"
"Oh, that's right, that's why I advised you to catch up." Shui Shang Che also smiled kindly, but to Zhu Fu Jingguang, it looked like a heartbroken smile, "Good police officer, you should..."
He actually poisoned his own brother!
Zhufu Jingguang, who prided himself on having a very good temper, was so angry at Shuishang Cheye's completely irrational behavior that he wanted to curse. He didn't say anything more, turned around and walked away with a cold face.
After he left, Shui Shang Che also picked up the glass bottle, opened it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said with disgust: "This makeup remover nail polish smells terrible."
He took this from Belmode's car and put it in his pocket without thinking that he would actually use it.
The hall was empty at this time, but Shui Shang Che did not choose to leave. He took two breaths, looked up, as if observing something, and then he moved again and walked towards the monitoring room on the second floor.
"Wow, your elder brother is quite sharp. He actually came over to us." Gojo Satoru sat on the swivel chair, like a kindergarten kid with a childish heart. He spun by himself with the thrust and glanced at the surveillance video from time to time.
They had seen all the conflicts that had just taken place downstairs, and had a better understanding of the three brothers with different personalities.
After all, I had heard about them a long time ago, but this was the first time I saw them face off against each other.
However, in Gojo Satoru's opinion, it is indeed Mizukami Tetsuya who best understands the essence of the Mizukami family: no matter what crazy actions he takes, he can always give people just the right sense of horror, and he is able to endure and know how to have fun. He does whatever he wants relying on his body not to die. This time, he sent Mizukami Sosuke away with just a few words, which can be regarded as an achievement.
As for Mizukami Sosuke, Gojo Satoru didn't know much. He only heard from Dazai Osamu that his former alias was "Suzumiya Kazuki"——
Gojo Satoru stared at the dazed Mamakura Kazuki, not knowing why his mind was filled with the clichéd plot of "I've become like you".
——However, all three of them have the talent of being sharp-tongued, and no one knows if this talent is inherited in their DNA.
Xia Yujie sat next to Gojo Satoru, with his arms folded across his chest and his legs crossed, looking like he was enjoying the show: "Mizukami Sosuke disappeared around the surveillance corner, and he didn't leave this place. It looks like he's still looking for him. Suzumiya-kun, the people in your family seem to be quite sharp."
Ryomiya Kazuki had already returned to his original appearance. He sat on the remaining chair, squatting on it with his legs, his arms wrapped around his knees, curling himself up into a ball. He rested his chin on his legs and mumbled, "If they were more sensitive, they wouldn't have turned out like this. Rather, you guys were too obvious."
After all, how can a surveillance camera move randomly without anyone controlling it?
"Why do you want to see your brother but not Mizukami Sosuke? The gem is obviously with him." Gojo Satoru, who was in charge of control and monitoring, was a little confused. "Also, is it really okay for your brother to be like this?"
He pointed to a corner of the surveillance camera, and saw that Shui Shangche, who had lost too much blood, almost stepped on empty air when walking down the stairs. He looked like he was dying, and his clumsiness was so tear-jerking.
Ryoumiya Kazuki turned the swivel chair half a circle, turned his back to the surveillance camera, and said in a depressed tone: "Anyway... I won't die."
"I met him because he doesn't seem as irrational as Sosuke. I can't do him any good if he's resurrected, but since I'm here, I might as well ask about his situation."
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru looked at each other, and both saw the same point of view in each other's eyes.
——Mizukami Che doesn’t want to resurrect Ryoumiya Kazuki. I guess he is the only one who thinks so.
Gojo Satoru checked with the Armed Detective Agency and naturally knew that the so-called "immortal" Mizukami Tetsuya meant that his physical body could not reach a state of near-death, and he was not alive like a god.
There is also an immortal being in the world of Jujutsu, and that is Tengen, who is responsible for creating barriers to protect the entire world of Jujutsu. However, his immortality is in the true sense of the word, and as long as he chooses a suitable container of star plasma every five hundred years to assimilate with him and refresh his physical intelligence, the effect of his "immortality" ritual will return to the starting point. [1]
Such a powerful spell has the flaw that the body must be replaced to ensure survival and not evolve. Mizukami Chetsu's "immortality" is probably only for the flesh, and his spirit will still gradually age with age.
Gojo Satoru was quite emotional when he came to this conclusion. If those old-timers in the world of sorcery discovered Mizukami Tetsuya's characteristics, they would probably forcibly occupy Mizukami Tetsuya's body for the sake of "Tengen" and a stable barrier, right?
After all, with the immortality of the soul and the indestructibility of the body, the balance of victory will inevitably shift towards the sorcerer.
What's more, if that were the case, there would be no interstellar plasma, no such mission, and no...Jay.
Gojo Satoru forced himself to stop thinking about the past, but once again sighed at Mizukami Che's rare good fortune.
Fortunately, Shuishangjia escaped quickly...
By the way, he had discussed the issue of the Mizukami family's gemstone with Edogawa Ranpo.
The potential of the gem is just to absorb life force, but the resurrection technique is very hidden, so there must be other conditions. However, in order to resurrect the soul of the person - their speculation is that it is estimated that the standard of "sacrifice" must be met.
And now that Mizukami Sosuke has forcibly used his own vitality to provide "Suzumiya Kazuki" with a semi-resurrected state, it is really worthwhile to find out what Mizukami Che can do.
Out of selfish motives, Gojo Satoru, without knowing the situation of Mizukami Sosuke and Mizukami Tetsuya, actually hoped that the silly Suzumiya Kazuki could stay.
Especially since he and Jie could still sit here like friends thanks to Ryomiya and Itsuki's jokes.
After all, the distance from the first floor to the second floor was not long, and the monitoring room was the only place with lights on, and soon there was a knock on the door.
Gojo Satoru waited until he knocked on the door for the third time before shouting at the top of his lungs, "Come in~"
The door was opened with a bang, and Shui Shang Che, with a cold face and smell of blood, walked in. Seeing that there were only three stools in the room, he relied on the advantage of his long legs and sat on the monitoring console.
Hearing the noise, Ryomiya Heshu, who was facing the wall, shook his shoulders, slowly turned his chair half a circle, and greeted Shui Shangche: "Long time no see."
"Um……"
Mizukami Che no longer had the arrogant attitude he had towards Mizukami Sosuke downstairs. He lowered his head slightly and responded softly.
Seeing that the two of them were so boring even in their conversation, Gojo Satoru turned around and put his hands on the back of his chair: "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Shouldn't you be more enthusiastic and say hello?"
Suzumiya Kazuki explained earnestly, "From what I remember, I should have only seen him for a short time."
Shui Shang Che also moved his lips and uttered: "...I'm sorry."
"Well, I'm fine. How are father and mother?" Ryoumiya Kazuki's face was calm, without any sign of anxiety.
From being in a trance when he first heard their names to being able to have a conversation with them without changing his expression now, it is enough to show how much he has changed.
Shui Shang Che seemed to have taken off all his disguises, and even his eyes were filled with a hint of sadness. He whispered, "They are all gone. Of the Shui Shang family, only you and I are left."
"Ah, you are, but I'm not." Suzumiya Kazuki smiled, "After all, I've changed my last name to Suzumiya, and Sosuke would probably be sad if he heard that."
Shui Shang Che was silent for a while, as if Liang Gong He Shu's two short sentences had caused him great harm. After a long while, he said, "He betrayed the family on his own."
Ryoumiya Kazuki stopped smiling and said, "You guys sent me away too. There's no difference."
Geto Summer Oil was watching from the side and couldn't help but move closer to Gojo Satoru. They both turned their chairs with their backs turned and stared at the two brothers like two curious cats eating melons.
Shui Shang Che also coughed twice and said patiently, "I'm chatting with He Shu, why don't you two go out for a while?"
"Don't—" Gojo Satoru shouted, "What if you want to bully Suzumiya Kazuki?"
“…I can’t.”
"After all, you are a police officer who can fight kidnappers when you are ruthless, and your taijutsu is so powerful." Gojo Satoru said with a smile, "We are good citizens."
"When can the people of the Gojo family be called good citizens?" Shui Shangche didn't buy it. He said expressionlessly, "Since you are so idle that you have no mission to do, why don't I give you a call and ask?"
"And Mr. Curse Master, you haven't met your church members and friends yet, right? How about I arrange a dinner for you?"
Gojo Satoru, who had just finished his mission, muttered:
Kagome, who had just been resurrected and had not yet visited Pansei Church, said: …
Ryoumiya Kazuki couldn't help but chuckle beside him. Seeing Mizukami Che looking at him expressionlessly, he spread his hands and said, "There's nothing much to say anyway, right? Just reminisce and end it. Don't tell Sosuke I'm here."
Mizukami Che also didn't like his nonchalant attitude, and said, "I'll ask my companion to stop him. Based on my companion's personality, he will probably force Mizukami Sosuke to go to the hospital. I guess we can delay the situation for a while."
"Well, then?" Suzumiya Kazuki asked, "What are you going to do with my gem?"
"If you want to return it to the ancestral temple, I can help you."
Shui Shang Che also curled his lips but did not answer immediately.
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, both of them knowing what was going on.
If the gem of Ryomiya Kazuki is returned to the family ancestral temple, it would be equivalent to abandoning the process of the sacrifice, and Ryomiya Kazuki would not be able to be resurrected. At the same time, the actions of Mizukami Sosuke and Mizukami Tetsu would be in vain, but it would not affect his life.
Now it seems that Suzumiya Kazuki is more inclined towards his own death than longing for resurrection.
Gojo Satoru recalled the twin rumor: the designated leader was stranded outside and was killed by mistake, and the identity of the one who stayed behind was exposed and he defected.
I guess it was just a suggestion made by Suzumiya Kazuki at the beginning because he didn't want his brother to leave.
But judging from Mizukami Cheye's attitude, he didn't seem to want to give up, but to him, this was obviously just a brother he hadn't seen for a few times...
——Why?
Gojo Satoru was very curious.
After all, Mizukami Cheye looks very lonely and his attitude towards Mizukami Sosuke is very bad. There is no reason for him to have any feelings for someone who has been dead for many years. The time they have spent together is probably not even as much as Mizukami Sosuke has spent with him.
Sure enough, Mizukami Cheya's silence made Suzumiya Kazuya restrain his smile. He sat quietly on the chair, and the figure of Mizukami Cheya could not be reflected in his calm black eyes.
"Ah, you don't want to compensate me, do you?" He said, "No need, I never needed it, it was just my choice from the beginning."
It was already late at night, and no one knew whether Vermouth had escaped from the crowd and been taken away by Gin, but Mizukami Che's appearance at this moment made people want to call an ambulance to take him away.
He seemed a little dizzy as he held onto the control panel, his fingertips slightly white from exerting force, and even his lips turned a pale color from lack of blood. He raised his head slightly, as if trying to stop the sudden rise of unspeakable emotions, so fragile that it seemed that any gust of wind could make him fall.
"I'm sorry..." His voice was hoarse, "I didn't know it was you at the time."
"If I were given another chance, I would never, never—"
"No, you will." Ryomiya Kazuki interrupted him without hesitation, "In my remaining memories, I have only seen you twice."
"The first time we met was when we met by chance on the streets of Tokyo. You completely ignored my cries for help when I was being robbed, even though you recognized me from my appearance."
"The second side is that you, as the supervisor, led the few remaining secret guards of the Mizukami family to destroy me with your own hands."
"Does it make sense? Mizukami Tetsuya." Ryoumiya Kazuki's voice was a little choked up, "You just want to live up to the corrupt family rules instead of choosing me and being sorry for me. How long do you want to deceive yourself?"
"I didn't..." Shui Shang Che's weak excuse disappeared into the air, carrying with it an escape that he himself could not explain.
Gojo Satoru silently said "Wow" and met Geto's equally surprised eyes.
Neither of them expected that the greeting, which was peaceful at the beginning, would turn into this in just a few words.
Shui Shang Che, who seemed to be confident and in control of the overall situation, became the one being questioned. On the other hand, Liang Gong He Shu, who usually looked a bit naive, suddenly exploded and revealed what Shui Shang Che wanted to avoid with just a few words.
"At that time, the young master that the Mizukami family wanted to inherit was 'Mizukami Kazuki', so 'Mizukami Sosuke', who affected his existence, was sent away from the family and stripped of his surname. You, Mizukami Tetsu, were also the auxiliary party, and you had no doubts about this."
Suzumiya Kazuki spoke calmly, but with strong emotions: "At first the truth was not revealed, and Sosuke's health was not very bad, so you really didn't know."
"So after you found out about my request for help, you just thought that since 'Mizukami Sosuke' had become an outsider, there was no need to help, right?"
"At that time..." Shui Shang Che wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't say anything. He could only repeat a few meaningless words helplessly.
Indeed, his long-term illness made him lose interest in everything in the outside world, and his family became the only thing he could touch. As the eldest son, he chose to accept it all, and naturally he didn't want to rescue a completely meaningless existence.
——This is his sin.
Geto Kagome looked at the two brothers with complicated eyes. Ever since Ryoumiya Kazuki said that he had helped the bullied brothers and he was grateful for it for so many years, he was now particularly sensitive to such words.
I didn't expect that Mizukami Cheye, as his brother, would turn a blind eye even after recognizing him. It was clearly just a piece of cake, and even ordinary classmates would help, but he chose to ignore it.
"I don't think I need to say more about the rest." Suzumiya Kazuki didn't want to see him act so arrogantly, nor did he want to recall his cold family. "So, there's no need for you to act so hypocritical now."
"After all, legally, failing to help a relative is also a crime, as far as I remember?"
Mizukami Chetsu's fingernails unconsciously untied the cloth strips wrapped around his hands and dug deeply into the wound that had already turned a little white, bringing back a hint of blood color.
"I..." He opened his lips softly and was about to say something when he heard the door being kicked open with a "bang", and the cool night wind rushed into the room.
