Gin doesn't want to work hard

She had no way out; this was her only chance, and she couldn't and wouldn't give it up.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Kurosawa's eyes.

He noticed Senma Kazuyo's actions from the very beginning.

The footsteps that Chima Kazuyo thought he had kept quiet were incredibly noticeable to him.

Not to mention her heavy breathing, which she tried to suppress but still managed to.

Both of these things reminded him that Senma Kakudai was preparing to do something underhanded.

As for why Kurosawa hasn't responded...

Firstly, he hadn't yet completed the level in the game he was playing.

Secondly, isn't Senma Kakudai still quite a distance away from him?

Kurosawa had calculated that, given Chima Fuyuki's speed, he could finish the game a second before she covered his face with the handkerchief and then subdue her.

So there's no rush, let's finish the game first.

But to everyone's surprise, the boss couldn't sit still any longer.

With the Boss's "assistance," Senma Shigeyo was clearly getting anxious.

Her previously cautious movements became blatant.

She no longer concealed her purpose: to drug Kurosawa as quickly as possible.

"Snapped!"

Kurosawa raised his right hand and grabbed Senma Furuyo's handkerchief.

His left hand was still controlling the game.

Only after a few seconds did Kurosawa breathe a sigh of relief as the game was successfully completed.

He then put away the game console and turned to look at Chima Kazuyo.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Chapter 283 Hostage Situation and Counterattack

In the end, it was Senma Kōdai who spoke first.

"I can explain, how about you let go first?"

Kurosawa didn't say anything, but silently let go of her hand.

Chima Shiro withdrew her hand and rubbed her wrist.

Kurosawa's reaction speed was much faster than she had imagined.

Previous attempts to knock him unconscious using sneak attacks had failed.

Now, face-to-face, there's even less of a chance.

It seems we need to try a different approach.

Thinking this, Chima Kazuyo slipped her hand into her bosom while pretending to gather her handkerchief, and then spoke to attract Kurosawa's attention.

"Forty years ago, the owner of this villa, Karasuma Renya, invited scholars from all walks of life to come here to search for the treasure left by his mother."

Unfortunately, there has been no progress on this matter.

"And during this process, Karasuma Renya also realized that he was about to die."

"In order to speed up the search for the treasure, and also to prevent the secret of the treasure from being revealed, he began to slaughter the scholars who had been invited."

"In just six months, all those scholars were killed, and Karasuma Renya himself entered the grave."

Hearing this, Kurosawa nodded secretly.

That's exactly the kind of thing that scumbag boss would do.

Regardless of whether those scholars find the treasure or not, they will all be killed in the end.

However, Senma Kazuyo made a mistake in saying that Karasuma Renya did not die.

He escaped death and fulfilled his ambition of becoming young again.

He's just grown into a middle-aged man now.

Kurosawa thought this to himself, but asked the question aloud.

"How do you know all this?"

"What does this have to do with what you just did?"

Senma Kōdai sighed.

“My father is an archaeologist and one of the invited scholars.”

"Twenty years ago, I unknowingly discovered a message left by my father in a letter he sent back, and that's how I learned everything."

"In addition, there was a coded message about the treasure on the letter."

"I want to know what kind of treasure could make Karasuma Renya go to such lengths to find it, even at the cost of killing people."

"I want to know why my father died."

"So, although I'm very sorry, I still hope you can cooperate with me."

Chima Kazuyo finally took her hand out of her bosom, but this time she had a pistol in it.

The two were very close, and Kurosawa was sitting on the sofa with his back turned, which meant that Chima Kazuyo's gun was pointed directly at his head.

Kurosawa stared at the dark muzzle of the gun without saying a word.

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, I won't shoot."

The implication was that she would shoot him if he didn't cooperate.

"what."

Kurosawa chuckled softly.

It was just an ordinary laugh, but Senma Kōdai detected a hint of mockery in it.

But to be able to laugh under these circumstances...

Something is wrong!

Chima Kazuyo watched Kurosawa warily, her grip on the gun tightening slightly.

"I advise you not to even think about resisting."

"Being hit by a bullet at such close range is not a good experience."

Faced with Senma's warning words, Kurosawa lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly obedient.

But in reality, he was thinking about ways to solve the problem of Senma's downgrade.

Since the Boss was still spying, Kurosawa didn't want to appear too relaxed.

A sequence like dodging bullets at close range, disarming the opponent with one hand, and then taking them down with a single move is definitely not acceptable.

The opposite is true: first get shot twice, then struggle to disarm the person, and finally barely manage to take them down?

This method is indeed quite effective, but it's a bit troublesome.

Moreover, if he gets injured now, it could easily affect his subsequent plans to break up the bricks.

Kurosawa abandoned the idea of taking direct action.

If direct action doesn't work, then we'll rely on props.

It seems that Professor Agasa's gadgets can finally come in handy.

As for which one to use... small and inconspicuous is best.

In that case, both pen-shaped and lighter-shaped models seem to work.

Let's find whichever one we want and use it.

Kurosawa made the decision casually.

Taking advantage of the sofa cushions blocking his way, Kurosawa reached directly into his pocket.

Without the boost from Ke Xue, the size of a normal pocket is quite limited.

Soon, Kurosawa got what he wanted.

A slender fountain pen.

The action of pulling a pen from his pocket and shooting a tranquilizer dart at Chima Kazuyo would be quite dramatic, so Kurosawa needs to find a good opportunity to prevent Chima Kazuyo from firing her gun during this time.

"How can I cooperate?"

Following the methods used by Chima Kazuyo before, Kurosawa began to divert her attention.

“Turn around, then stand up,” said Senma Kōdai.

Kurosawa obediently followed orders.

Looking at Kurosawa, who had his back to her, Chima Kazuyo still felt somewhat uneasy.

Her gaze swept over Kurosawa's entire body, finally settling on his hands.

“Open your arms and then raise them,” Chima Kazuyo continued.

Kurosawa paused for a moment upon hearing this.

"Hurry up!" Senma Kazuyo urged immediately upon seeing this.

She's already wasted a lot of time; someone might come back any minute now.

Kurosawa tucked the pen into his sleeve and then slowly raised his hands.

To reassure Chima Kazuyo, Kurosawa thoughtfully spread his five fingers to indicate that he had nothing in his hand.
