MTL - After Binding the Barrage, My Friend and I Wore Red and Black-Chapter 68
The sound of the waves slowly rang in his ears, and when Tsujimoto Yuma opened his eyes, the connection between the endless sky and the sea came into his eyes.
This is one of the best VIP rooms on this luxury cruise ship, and the room with the best view.
The young man with black hair and blue eyes was sitting on the other side, looking out from the floor-to-ceiling window, the gray-white sky was still shrouded in countless dark clouds, and the depression made it hard to breathe.
"Yuzhen..."
The black-haired youth looked at the silver-haired youth sitting on the sofa, the expression on his face was a little hesitant.
"I'm fine."
The silver-haired youth is sitting on the sofa, his hands are elegantly placed on his knees, his body is slightly leaning forward,
"The time has not yet come, we have enough time to wait."
Zhu Fu Jingguang: "..."
Others don't know, but he is very clear. Whenever Tsujimoto Yuma said something he didn't understand, he definitely didn't want to say it.
There was also news from Bourbon that the target person had reached the destination, and the next thing to do was very simple-
"I've seen the target."
Bourbon, dressed as a waiter, asked in a low voice,
"He should be hiding in the dining car now, is he ready to go now?"
"Can."
After receiving the order, Bourbon put away the intercom and met Belmod's gaze.
Tsk, the more troublesome are the members of the Black Organization.
"Bourbon, who are you calling?" Belmod asked with a smile.
"It has nothing to do with you." Bourbon put away the intercom and replied blankly.
"yes."
Belmod did not pursue too much, but continued:
"The boss asked us to keep an eye on Tsujimoto Shito, after all, the only clue he provided was [there is a docking person on the boat]. We must keep an eye on his movements."
"Of course I know."
Not only Bourbon, but BOSS also sent other people to keep an eye on Tsujimoto Shitoo, and it could be seen that he did not trust each other very much.
In this case, it is even more difficult to act.
As for where the BOSS himself is... this question is open to question.
Bourbon is inclined to have the BOSS on board, and with his level of attention, it is estimated that he will not allow Tsujimoto Shito to mess around here alone.
The only problem...he wasn't sure who the boss was.
Few people in the organization have seen the boss's face, and even he or Jinjiu have probably never seen it.
This time, BOSS will be determined to win.
He is willing to trust Tsujimoto Toto, but Tsujimoto Toto is obviously in a bad situation now, and it may be a little difficult to help... But Yuma only said to do her own thing well, and don't worry about the rest.
Tsujimoto Yuma must be hiding something from him, but he can't pursue anything.
Anyway...let's hope everything goes well.
·
At this moment, the other side of the luxury cruise ship.
Conan's face was still very bad, and with the cold bonus, he felt that he would faint in the next second.
Xiaolan was still talking to Yuanzi with a smile, and it could be seen that the two girls were very interested in this trip.
"Speaking of which, didn't you say that Sonoko didn't want to go seasick?" Mao Lilan suddenly remembered something,
"It was said that I was going on a trip with Mr. Kyogoku, so I have to study hard during this time..."
"That's the past! The past!" Suzuki Sonoko waved his hands, with a mysterious expression on his face,
"I must come this time, but also for some special reasons..."
"Special reason?" Mao Lilan suddenly realized something,
"Could it be that person again??"
"That's right! My dad said that he received a notice from Kaitou Kidd! He said he was going to visit this ship!"
"When I think of meeting Kaito Kid! Of course I'm coming! I will never miss this opportunity to meet!"
Hmm... It's understandable that Sonoko would be so excited.
Hehe, it has nothing to do with him anyway.
Conan pulled the mask up, but his face still had a lackluster expression.
As for the gray area...
He started talking to Haiyuan Ai about this, but what he never expected was that Haiyuan Ai actually knew the information one step ahead of him.
"Mr. Tsujimoto Yuma has already talked to me."
Haibara Ai picked up the hot coffee and said calmly,
"I have been providing information to the Metropolitan Police for a long time. After all, Officer Tsujimoto also said that he would protect us, so I don't think there is any surprise."
"Ha?? Did you already cooperate with them??" Conan was shocked.
"Yeah, but I don't necessarily have to tell you."
"To be precise, our plan has been prepared for a long time. The reason why we only tell you now is to hope that you will not be involved in advance. Mr. Tsujimoto and the others also said the same."
"Hey hey hey! You're making me seem like a terrible trouble!" Conan said helplessly.
"Isn't it? Mr. Detective, it seems that you have been involved in a strange incident more than once? It's better to pay attention to safety." Haibara Ai showed a meaningful smile.
hateful! In the end, only you don't know!
Conan patted his dizzy head, and a sense of exhaustion surged up all of a sudden.
It's better to take medicine and take a rest... Even if you really encounter someone from the black organization, I'm afraid it won't be able to support this state.
But speaking of it, that guy Kidd should also be on this ship, right? Why haven't I seen him yet? ? Where have the others gone?
·
If Phantom Thief Kidd could hear Conan's words, he would probably start cursing from the bottom of his heart.
He still doesn't know what Tsujimoto Yuma is going to do, in short, his purpose is to protect this gem... The ghost knows whether this box is Pandora, but now Kuroba Kaito just thinks this box is very hot.
Do you want to open it? ?
This impulse was finally suppressed by Kuroba Kuito.
Once Pandora's box was opened, it was difficult to close it again. He knew that he would never open the box. After all, this was what he and Yuzhen had agreed upon.
but…
If this gem is fake, Tsujimoto Yuma is too bold, right? ? If the people in the Black Organization knew about this, it wouldn't be easy to let it go...
"Crack."
At this moment, the dining car stopped suddenly, and Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, almost subconsciously holding his breath.
The food truck stopped?
The sound of Tsujimoto's footsteps gradually moved away, and Kuroba Kaito's hanging heart finally relaxed a little bit.
Then you should be able to move freely...
After all, the order that Yuma Tsujimoto gave him was to [protect the gems], and he didn't ask for anything else, so he was free.
"Crack-"
Kuroba Kaito skillfully opened the lock from the inside, he opened the door of the dining car a crack, and quickly saw the outside.
There seemed to be no one in this area, and Tsujimoto was very considerate and parked the dining car in the room dedicated to the tableware.
"Huh... that's a little more polite."
Kuroba murmured for a while, then quickly got out of the dining car and straightened his clothes at the same time.
—Tsujimoto Yuma is quite conscientious, and changed his clothes in advance. But speaking of it, does Tsujimoto Yuma actually know how to change the face? ? This is what he didn't expect...
After straightening his clothes, Kuroba quickly walked towards the door. However, the moment his sight touched the door, an unfamiliar figure flashed past his eyes.
Silver hair, black clothes...
He vaguely remembered that he was a member of the Black Organization, and Yuma Tsujimoto showed him the photo.
Do you want to go directly? Will it be suspected? ? ?
However, the man sitting across from Gin seemed to be Tsujimoto Shitoman. He changed his clothes in almost a minute, and appeared here as an ordinary passenger.
Kuroba Kuito put the gem box in his arms and heard a reprimand sounded in his ears:
"What are you doing in a daze?? Didn't I ask you to deliver the food? What should I do if I keep the guests waiting for a long time?!"
"Sorry sorry, I'll send it over here—"
Kuroba Kuito turned around with a smile on his face, and nodded with the driver of the dining car behind him.
[You should have seen Shiren, right? ]
Tsujimoto Yuma's voice sounded from his ears,
[Be optimistic about him, you need to make contact with him when necessary. ]
[Did you give him the gem? ] Kuroba Kuaidou pressed his ear and replied cautiously.
[I don't need it for the time being, it would be too obvious to give it to him directly. ]
[That is... to pretend to connect with him and act? ]
[Yeah, that's it - of course, you don't have to worry about whether something happens to you, you won't die with me. ]
...This kind of promise will not give people peace of mind at all!
Kuroba Kaito scratched his hair with a headache, always feeling that the next action would be a little troublesome.
It's too risky to act directly in front of the people in the black organization, although he doesn't distrust Yuma Tsujimoto, but...
Just as he was in a daze, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Don't be nervous."
The dining car captain whispered in his ear,
"You just have to hand it over. You don't have to worry with me here."
…
Wait a minute, the driver of the dining car is also his own? ? ?
Kuroba Kaito glanced at him in disbelief, but he couldn't see any emotion on the driver's face other than a smile.
He actually couldn't see the other party's disguise.
I'm afraid this guy is not easy...
"I understand."
Kuroba quickly tidied up his clothes and tied the dinner plate in the other's hand.
Let's get things done first.
·
When Tsujimoto changed his clothes and came to the trading place, Gin was already waiting for him in the corner of the restaurant in advance.
Just as he imagined, although Gin Jiu had been dressed up a bit, he was still keen to appear in black, and it could be seen that he had a soft spot for black trench coats.
The silver-haired youth raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly stepped forward, meeting the eyes that glanced over inadvertently.
"waited for so long?"
Tsujimoto pulled out the chair and folded his hands on the table casually.
"I just came." Qin Jiu said.
"Why are you still wearing black clothes? It's rare to come out and relax, don't you think about changing into light-colored clothes?"
His voice was still ridiculed, and his face was as light as ever, with no difference at all.
"You're still in the mood to say this?" Jin Jiu sneered,
"It seems that you are determined to win this action."
"What are you talking about, which mission am I not determined to win?" Tsujimoto said with a smile.
"Besides, I should have made it clear to you - your dark circles are heavy, didn't you sleep well last night?"
"…"
Apparently not.
The words Tsujimoto said to him that day had impressed him enough. It is better to say that the idea of the other party wanting to solve the boss is enough to stimulate, and normal people may not be able to sleep.
But Tsujimoto was obviously not a normal person.
After accepting all kinds of brainwashing and influence from the organization, he didn't seem to want to submit at all, even more wild than before. Of course, the boss's purpose was also achieved - Tsujimoto was indeed loyal to the Black Organization, but he did not say that he would be loyal to the boss.
This is pretty subtle.
Gin is a member of the Black Organization, and he doesn't think he will leave the Black Organization, so Tsujimoto's idea of involving people does not conflict with him.
After all, he didn't have much respect for that Mr. BOSS.
After all, everyone just wants to live.
The silver-haired youth seemed to be in a pretty good mood today, and he even changed into quite decent clothes for this, a pure white dress with a light-colored scarf, and his slender fingers wore gloves as always.
In the impression, the man seems to be engaged in research work all the time, and even sleeps all night when he is busy, so he also develops the habit of wearing gloves all the time.
He is not a front-line fighter, but his strength is much stronger than many fighters.
But that's all Gin knew about him.
"What are you looking at?"
Noticing the other party's gaze, Tsujimoto Shizuo's fingers curled slightly, and there was some curiosity in his tone.
"It's nothing." Jin Jiu withdrew his gaze and stopped talking.
"Don't be like this, it's rare to go out, so I can't be the only one talking, right?" Tsujimoto smiled and handed over the menu at the same time.
"The organization will reimburse you, so order some dishes. Otherwise, chatting at an empty table will easily be suspected."
"I'm free."
"Hey, really?? I don't think you will like my taste." Tsujimoto said worriedly.
"...Bring it."
Gin finally took over the menu from the other party.
Is he really fully prepared? ?
It seemed so from his expression, but Gin didn't think he would really be fine.
Even in the most critical and tense moments, that man will maintain a relaxed and relaxed face. It seems that it is difficult for him to have emotional fluctuations about something, even if it is anger or sadness, it will disappear after a period of time.
Gin couldn't see through Tsujimoto's involvement, before and now.
"Sir, your wine."
At this moment, the waiter holding the plate appeared in front of him at some point, the young black-haired man bowed slightly, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Let's put it there." Tsujimoto said indifferently.
"When did you order wine??" Gin gave him a strange look.
"Before coming to this ship."
Tsujimoto Shizuo picked up the orange-yellow whiskey, and at the same time saw the piece of paper pressed under the glass,
"No, isn't the clue coming?"
·
At this moment, the whole restaurant is still in a very excited mood, and most of the topics come from the so-called [announcement letter].
Originally, this was just an unremarkable cruise activity that the Suzuki family participated in, and few people even cared about this parade. But in the last few days, the captain of the cruise ship received a letter.
It was a notice letter from Kaitou Kidd.
It is precisely because of this that the originally ample ticket was instantly fired into a sky-high price. Many people are eager to get on the boat to see what the famous phantom thief Kidd wants to do.
"Normally, there must be gems where Kaitou Kid will appear, right?" Mao Lilan was still analyzing,
"But there is no gem exhibition in this parade. Why did he come here??"
"Actually, most people have guesses." Suzuki Sonoko whispered in Maurilan's ear,
"There are really gems, but most people don't know it."
"What??" Mao Lilan froze for a moment.
"It's just a legend... It is said that a long time ago, a well-known collector abandoned a gem on this ship and never found it again, so this gem was called [Heart of the Ocean], Because everyone suspected that the gem had been buried in the sea."
"Hey... does everyone think so?" Mao Lilan became interested.
"It was many years ago, and everyone doesn't even know what the heart of the ocean looks like." Suzuki Sonoko vowed,
"The name of this luxury cruise ship is also called [Ocean], and the name comes from [Heart of the Ocean], but the legend is just a legend, if the thief Kidd can really find the gem, that is his ability. ."
"Is that so..."
"Compared to that! I'm really looking forward to Kaitou Kid's appearance soon! Ah, ah, the thought of meeting an idol! I can't wait for the camera in my hand!"
…
Kuroba Kuito leaned behind the door, his scalp was about to explode as he listened to the enthusiastic discussion of a group of people.
What heart of the ocean? ? He didn't know there was such a gem? ? And who wrote the notice? ? When did he write the teaser letter? ?
It must be that guy Tsujimoto Yuma did it!
[Don't worry, these are just foreplay. ] Tsujimoto Yuma said slowly,
[If you want to catch big fish, you must have enough bait. But I didn't expect your pomp to be so big, Kuaidou-kun, you are very popular. ]
"For this level of popularity, please spare me..." Kuroba Kuito's pain mask.
"Can you make it? You're in my way."
Just as Kuroba Kuito and Tsujimoto Yuma were pulling, the man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Ah, sorry, I'm just... eh?"
The moment Kuroba Kaito raised his head, the silver-haired youth quickly appeared in front of him.
And that familiar face was obviously Tsujimoto Shiren.
"You are…"
Before Kuroba Kaito could speak, the other party passed him directly, nodded politely as if he had never seen it before, and ignored him.
Huh? ?
Is it his delusion? ? The way the man looked at him just now revealed how strange it was? ?
Considering that Tsujimoto Shiren is now undercover, he must be unable to reveal his identity, and I am afraid he is also hiding himself.
Kuroba Kuito breathed a sigh of relief, and did not pursue any further investigations.
But just as he was about to leave, the man behind him stopped him again.
"By the way, this gentleman-"
"Do you have anything else??"
Kuroba Kuito shuddered and quickly looked behind him.
"It's nothing, just don't be so blatant when you give me a note next time." Tsujimoto Shiren spread his hands,
"Let that gentleman wait for a while, and I have to finish the business here before I can see him."
"...???"
What is that gentleman? ? ? What happens when things are done? ? Who is he seeing? ?
Kuroba Kuito was full of question marks, but Tsujimoto no longer paid attention to him, and quickly disappeared from his sight.
"I said, why are you standing here in a daze??"
Just as Kuroba was in deep thought, the boy's voice sounded, and the boy wearing a mask looked at him blankly, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"Wow."
Hei Yu quickly paused, and then said:
"What, I thought who was it... It's you, little detective, what are you doing here?"
"I also want to ask what you are doing here." Conan raised his eyebrows.
"You made such a big thing yourself, don't you know what you're doing?? What tricks are you playing??"
"It's really wrong this time." Heiyu Kuaidou said helplessly,
"I didn't write the notice letter."
"In other words, the Heart of the Ocean thing is actually fake?" Conan was stunned.
"How do I know." Kuroba Kuito didn't tell the truth directly.
"Anyway, this matter is related to the Metropolitan Police Department. If Tsujimoto Yuzhen didn't tell you, it would be unnecessary information. Little detective, don't look at me with such hostile eyes, I'm also persecuted, okay?"
"That's really rare. You can actually see you being persecuted in your lifetime."
"This sentence is a bit damaged..."
That being said, Kuroko felt that seeing Conan for the first time was extremely relaxing. At least it's better than the people who met the black organization.
However, Tsujimoto Yuma has not issued an order yet, and his purpose is only to protect the gem.
"Would you like to go to my room first if you have nothing to do?" Conan said bluntly.
"I think we need to exchange information. There are too many things I don't know, and it should be easier for us to cooperate?"
"Uh...this..."
[random. ] Tsujimoto Yuma's voice sounded from his headset,
[That's your business, my request is only one, protect the gem, that's all. ]
"Okay then." A certain big devil agreed and there was nothing to say.
"I have already understood the situation at the Metropolitan Police Department. Since this matter is related to the Black Organization, I must also participate." Conan lowered his head and coughed, and continued,
"But I seriously doubt... whether Tsujimoto is no longer the original Tsujimoto."
"What do you mean by that?"
Thinking of Tsujimoto's strange attitude towards him before, Kuroba Kuito also recalled a little, and there was indeed something wrong with Tsujimoto's.
"You'll know then - go back with me and talk slowly," Conan replied.
A sense of emptiness.
From head to toe, there is a sense of emptiness. Obviously, it is no different from the first meeting, but a certain characteristic of him has changed.
Although this is just intuition, Kuroba Kuito guessed that Tsujimoto must have experienced something in the Black Organization before getting involved.
When he came to Conan's room, Kuroba Kaito clearly felt some hoarse sounds coming from the headset. I am afraid that Conan may not have complete trust in Tsujimoto Yuma, so he installed a shielding device in the room.
"I think it would be inconvenient for Tsujimoto to reconcile with us now, or... the Black Organization has partially removed his memory." Conan carefully threw out his thoughts,
"This is just my personal opinion, and from the attitude of Tsujimoto Yuzhen, I can also find Miao Duan."
"Tsujimoto Yuma? Well, I do feel that he is hiding something." Kuroba Kaito nodded.
"He's covering up his brother." Conan threw the key point of the problem directly and sharply,
"It's a bit rude to say that, but that's how it looks now."
"Have you investigated Tsujimoto Yuma?" Kuroba Kaito raised his eyebrows.
"Not only has it been investigated, both Tsujimoto Yuma and Tsujimoto Shiren are related to the Black Organization." Conan said firmly,
"Otherwise, why was Tsujimoto involved in the black organization in the first place? And why did Tsujimoto Yuma sneak into the black organization? All the answers point to one point..."
"Tsujimoto Shiren is the person who is really involved in the black organization, but for some reason he can't remember the past."
"This is just speculation, little detective." Kuroba Kaito laughed.
"It's not good to guess that Mr. from the Metropolitan Police Department."
"So it's just a guess." Conan sighed, "I don't want to believe it, but the facts from the investigation of Tsujimoto Yuma are like this."
"Of course, I believe that Tsujimoto Yuma and Mr. Tsujimoto Shito are good people, but... sometimes good people can't help themselves."
Tsujimoto Shiren may really be a member of the Black Organization, but he is not necessarily a bad person.
He wants to stay away from the past, but the shadow of the past has been following him.
This is also impossible.
"All in all, we need to figure out what the purpose of this action is." Conan's tone became serious,
"I don't believe that Mr. Shiren is only acting for the sake of organization. He must have some other purpose, but he didn't tell us."
"We must find a way to find out what's going on! This matter must come to an end!"
…
【I said so! Shiren is really planning something! 】
[I also think... Shiren definitely didn't say anything without telling Yuzhen, and Yuzhen was actually vaguely aware of this, right? 】
[The people involved must be planning to kill the boss, but is the boss really that easy to be attacked...]
[Hey, the smell of the final battle is coming... Brother, will you really be alright? ? Will it really be alright? ? 】
[Uuuuu... In other words, Shiren is actually Black, but he is really not a bad person! ! 】
[Just as I guessed at the beginning, Yuzhen started to go undercover in the Black Organization, hoping that his brother can leave the Black Organization forever... After all, the Black Organization has brought him too many shadows, whether it is past betrayal or close friends. His departure has dealt a big blow to him.]
[But Shiren still went back, I'm very panicked now! Shouldn't someone do something impulsive! 】
[BOSS must die! ! Then both brothers give me a good life ah ah ah! 】
[Woo woo woo I have a disease that will kill me if I don't see my brother's stickers! Let me see brother stickers! 】
[Yuzhen frowned from start to finish...hey, I always feel like he's also worried about getting involved. 】
[Pfft, Gin is a lot more obedient. I don’t know if it’s because of the BOSS’s foil, but now I look at Gin a lot.]
[So when will the cos gin come out cos? ? I have been squatting in his live broadcast room for many days! 】
【do not talk! Let's squat for the finale! ! After this episode is over, I will definitely make a cosplay! ! Woohoo, I can't see brother stickers, I'm really not in the mood to run naked! 】
【? ? Good guy, are you still there, Mr. streaking? ? 】
[73 old thief have you seen it! ! No matter what, you must give me HE! For this kind of sake, I can't justify it without giving a HE! 】
…
Tsujimoto looked at the overwhelming barrage with a cold face, and his heart did not fluctuate, and he even wanted to sigh with cats.
A very strange thing, his black square value has indeed increased significantly, but his popularity value has not decreased along with it.
It seems that it is not unreasonable that everyone likes blackened characters.
[Shiren, how far is your Black value? ]
Tsujimoto Yuma also sent him a message.
[A little bit more. ]
Tsujimoto Shiren yawned, the whole person was lethargic,
[It will probably be over after this time... I will be able to go home by then? ]
There was still no sound from the communicator.
[Yuzhen? ? What's wrong? ? ]
Aware that Tsujimoto Yuzhen was suddenly silent, Tsujimoto was a little puzzled.
[Nothing, just follow the ideas of the people involved. ]
Tsujimoto Yuma was silent for a while, but still didn't speak.
[You really don't want to go back? ] Tsujimoto said curiously.
[No. I just almost forgot about my past life. ] Tsujimoto Yuzhen said lightly,
[I'm afraid it will take a long time to get used to it? ]
[An Xin, it's not that you are in the world of superpowers, there is nothing difficult to adapt to. ] Tsujimoto smiled helplessly,
[At least you'd be safer in the world over there, wouldn't you? ]
…
Tsujimoto Yu really didn't answer any more.
He put down the communicator, supported his chin with one hand, and his expression was indifferent.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the sudden change in Tsujimoto Yuma's face, Zhu Fu Jingguang asked with concern.
"It's okay." Tsujimoto Yuma shook his head.
"How are Rei Furuya and Shuichi Akai going to prepare?"
"The target person was not found." Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyes dimmed,
"The target you are looking for seems to be hidden deep, I'm afraid it will be soon..."
"I know, I won't be able to find him in a while." Tsujimoto Yuma smiled and continued,
"If it was so easy to find him, I wouldn't be able to kill him by now."
With that person's character, it was absolutely impossible for a person to watch the rest of the organization take over Pandora from a distance.
He will definitely show up.
