[Conan] Overtime Archives

In the evening of the next day, Bourbon went out suddenly, but came back soon.

Jasmine was also worried, and she didn't dare to show it on her face, knowing that this was just Bourbon's temporary errand going out, and it was not yet the time for the execution of the plan that Akiko Yajima said.

When it was time for dinner, Jasmine also couldn't eat, so she had to force herself to pretend that nothing had happened.Fortunately, she has a strong psychological quality and her acting skills have also been polished, so it is no problem to think that she has cheated Bourbon.

While eating, Bourbon asked, "Aren't you going to talk about the witness protection plan today?"

Jasmine also reacted quickly, and immediately followed the rhythm: "...Huh? Do you want to accept my suggestion?"

Bourbon looked at her thoughtfully, but said, "No, I have no intention of accepting it. It's just——you don't talk much today, it's strange."

Jasmine was also a little nervous, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, put on a face devoid of worldly desires, and said lightly, "Because no matter how much I try to persuade you, it won't work, so I plan to give up this plan and find another solution."

"yes."

Bourbon was noncommittal.

After the meal, Jasmine also turned on the TV as usual, preparing to play a mystery movie.

This is a new hobby she has developed recently, watching spy movies and mystery movies, and even watching a few romance movies or science fiction movies to pass the time.In order not to make Bourbon suspicious, she tried her best to do things according to her usual habits tonight, trying not to leave any flaws.

Just as the hero in the film was drooling and passionately reasoning about the motive of the murder, Bourbon's cell phone rang a few times.

Bourbon, who was cutting fruit in the kitchen, washed his hands casually, walked out, picked up his phone and glanced at it, then his face sank, and he turned to change clothes.

Jasmine also looked back at him: "Through?"

Bourbon said: "I have something urgent to attend to, and I may be late. Don't wait for me."

"Oh, I see." Jasmine also replied calmly.

When Bourbon's figure disappeared outside the door, Jasmine also jumped up.She stuck to the window, quietly looked down through the gap in the curtain, and didn't start busy until she confirmed that Bourbon had left.She needs to deal with the things that will leave evidence after the explosion in advance, and try to eliminate all traces that are not good for her.

Jasmine also paused when she saw the ring that Bourbon had left by the sink of the cooking table, and finally put it in her pocket.

Ten minutes later, there was a regular knock on the door outside.

Jasmine also felt tense.

--coming.

***

Even though she guessed that Bourbon might not easily fall for Akiko Yajima's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, when he came back early, Jasmine was still dazed for several seconds.

She didn't expect to be able to hide from Bourbon for a long time, but she also didn't expect him to turn back so soon.

Ms. Yajima clearly said that she had stuck with him for at least three hours, but now, less than three or ten minutes had passed since Bourbon stepped out of the house, and he pushed the door in again, standing at the door with a smile that was half a smile and fully recovered. Jasmine, who had free hands and feet, also bumped into her.

"Ah, Jasmine is really disobedient, didn't she tell you not to wait for me?"

Bourbon was leaning against the door, with three fingers of his right hand together, pinching a flat black object through a white glove.

Jasmine also took the lead in launching the attack, and immediately chose to draw her gun.She didn't care to study what Bourbon was holding in his hand, her brain was running fast.

The police officer Matsuda who came here to break the shackles for her left 10 minutes ago. Before leaving, he said that Shinohara was on his way to help her, and there seemed to be some traffic jams, so the time would be later than expected.

big crisis.

Jasmine also calculated the time difference: Officer Matsuda should be able to evacuate safely, but Shinohara...

She aimed the gun steadily at Bourbon with one hand, and slipped the other hand into the pocket of her jacket to fumble for the new contact phone that Matsuda had just given her.

Seeing through her intentions, Bourbon smiled even more intensely. He didn't seem to care much about the gun pointing at his head, and said in a relaxed tone: "Is that woman outside here to pick you up? I killed her already."

"...!"

Jasmine's heart also sank.With trembling hands, she took out her mobile phone to make a call, praying that Shinohara would answer quickly.

- No answer.

As if he had admired Jasmine's despair enough, Bourbon threw the thing he had been holding in his hand to her.

With a "snap", a black mobile phone and white gloves fell on the floor in front of Jasmine's feet. Clean white sofa blanket.

"It's the mobile phone you guys used to communicate." Bourbon was quite proud, "When I arrived, she seemed to be about to call you?"

"You—!" Jasmine also threw off the phone and gripped the gun tightly.

Bourbon still had that smug expression, and even had a look of "it's all for your own good": "Considering Jasmine's mood, I gave her a special treat, so that Jasmine won't see her dead body No matter how she looks, blame me for not showing her face."

Jasmine also groaned, and pulled the trigger with her finger.

"Want to kill me?" Bourbon laughed, "Why, do you still want me to accept your witness plan?"

"It was my fault."

——I'm sorry Shinohara.

Jasmine's eyes were wide open, without blinking, a tear slipped down her cheek along the corner of her eye.She has never held the gun so firmly, aiming at a person who makes her unable to find a reason not to kill, but she still did not do it. As a policeman, she was educated in the police academy to capture every criminal as much as possible. Especially a criminal with interrogation value like Bourbon.

Bourbon tilted his head: "Hey, don't cry, I will feel bad."

Knowing that now is not the time to cry, Jasmine also tried her best to suppress the complex emotions surging in her heart, bitterness, guilt, regret and anger... All these should not erupt at this critical moment.

"Huh? Won't you kill me?" Bourbon was still adding fuel to the fire, "If you don't kill me, you'll never be able to run away."

The two were only a few steps apart, and the once intimacy had long since turned into hatred.

Bourbon thought to himself: It seems that the only way to catch a woman is to get her pregnant!Why not die in front of her?Wouldn't it be better for her to kill him herself?

He diverged his thinking for a while, and felt that the method was feasible—since he couldn't keep people, let's keep his mind.

So Bourbon said gently: "Jasmine, look, if you don't shoot again, you will continue to be under house arrest, and your companions will definitely try their best to continue sending people to rescue you. At that time, I will wait and see. Come one to kill one, come two to kill one pair."

Under Jasmine's increasingly resentful gaze, Bourbon shrugged his shoulders and laughed indifferently: "What's the point of being an enemy of the police, it's more interesting to persecute the police. Anyway, more than one policeman died at my hands." , it’s not a problem to have a few more.”

Jasmine also felt that she was about to lose her mind.

Her temples were throbbing, and she bit her tongue hard to keep herself calm.

Countless crazy thoughts flashed through her mind, each screaming for her to quickly kill that murderous bastard.The fact that Shinohara was killed deeply stimulated Jasmine, and her nerves that had been tense for a long time were finally overwhelmed, and she was on the verge of collapse.

The demon is ready to take a weapon.

The demon grinned twistedly.

The voice of the devil sounded.

"Look, you are reluctant to kill me. Jasmine, are you seriously ill? Are you a pillar of the country who bears the burden of humiliation, or... the Stockholm effect? ​​You fell in love with me, right?"

There was an eerie calm in the room.

Jasmine also had an indifferent expression, pointing the gun at Bourbon's head. After a long time of confrontation, her arms were not tired at all, and her body seemed to be out of her control.

She said coldly: "Shut up! Don't move!"

But Bourbon was still smiling, as if not taking her threat seriously.His hand has reached his waist, ready to pull out the pistol at any time.

He asked harshly with the aggressive expression he had when he first met Jasmine, "Answer me, are you in love with me?"

At this moment, what flashed in Jasmine's mind was the faces of Scotch, a senior police officer, and Sachiko Shinohara, a good friend of the police school, and maybe other innocent people who died tragically under Bourbon's hands.

She finally pulled the trigger.

Aimed at Bourbon's heart.

boom--

Bourbon took half a step back, sat down slowly while leaning on the door frame, and stared at Jasmine firmly.

Jasmine was finally able to put down the heavy pistol, but she didn't have the strength to walk over to confirm Bourbon's situation.She can only guarantee that such a shot is definitely enough to send him to heaven.

"You," Bourbon gasped for a few breaths, and managed to squeeze out a sentence, "It's enough to commit yourself to the experience of the bastard once, and don't do it again..." Don't use this method to obtain information in the future, and don't do anything to other people. It's my own selfishness for a man to set up such a honey trap.

——Because, I, too, would be jealous!

Bourbon made a "ho ho" sound in his throat, and it didn't take long - Molly felt that it had been a long time - and it gradually died down.

Jasmine also stared at the guy with closed eyes by the door in despair.

Bourbon died quite peacefully, without a ferocious expression or unwillingness.There was even a relieved smile on the corner of her mouth—of course, it might just be Jasmine's illusion.

Lowering her eyes, Jasmine also spoke softly, for fear that she would disturb the sleeping person.

She promised in a low voice: "I promise, there will be no next time."

I don't know what the guarantee is.

Picking up the wreckage of the mobile phone scattered in the living room, Jasmine also crossed Bourbon who was blocking the door, and left the apartment that she hadn't stepped out of for a long time.

Standing outside the apartment, she felt as if she had been reborn.

However, Jasmine also searched along the way, but did not find Shinohara, let alone traces of her fighting with Bourbon.

As the cold wind blows, some neglected details suddenly come to my mind.

Jasmine's heart skipped a beat too.She turned around, ran back to the apartment with all her strength, pressed the elevator button frantically, and the elevator stopped on a certain floor.Probably because of being too nervous, Jasmine also felt very uncomfortable in her stomach.Enduring the growing pain, she ran straight into the stairwell.

As soon as I went upstairs, I heard a "boom--".

Afterwards, the air wave produced by the explosion of the bomb rushed over, and the huge roar shook Jasmine's eardrums to twitch wildly.

With a splitting headache, she lost consciousness.

***

It wasn't until ten days later that Akiko Yajima found time to visit Jasmine who was about to be discharged from the hospital.

After the infiltration and search mission was over, Jasmine also returned to her original identity, and was only waiting to return to the police team for various assessments after recovering from her injuries.

In fact, Jasmine did not suffer any serious injuries this time, but the doctor suggested that she stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation before being discharged, because her body is a little weak, and she is not much better than someone recovering from a serious illness.

The two sat side by side on a bench that almost no one passed by.Akiko Yajima briefly introduced the current situation. Generally speaking, the organization has been tossed about by their undercover elites. Only a few guys who fled after hearing the news have not been completely arrested, but Interpol has Even if they issue a red notice and lose the asylum of the organization, they won't be able to make a big deal.What follows is the finishing work, which is boring and tasteless.

"It's amazing." Jasmine, who was still wearing a hospital gown, also felt sincerely.

Akiko Yajima smiled and nodded: "After all, teaming up with multiple parties is a hundred times better than fighting alone. Plus Akai...ah, I mean Ley, do you know him? He is a very reliable partner and trustworthy."

"Ley?"

"Yes, he's actually an FBI."

Jasmine was also at a loss for words for a moment: "...So there are so many undercover agents hidden in the organization."

She didn't ask Akiko Yajima why the bomb exploded early, or anything else she shouldn't have asked.She listened to whatever Akiko Yajima wanted to say.

Akiko Yajima couldn't bear to look at this quiet, desireless look.

However, Akiko Yajima and Jasmine were not familiar with each other, and she didn't know how to persuade her. In the end, she could only sigh and say, "You...are as stubborn as my ex-boyfriend. If you didn't insist then..."

Jasmine also softly interrupted her "if": "No, I will stick to it."

After thinking about it again and again, Akiko Yajima still couldn't help but say something deep: "Are you in love with bourbon?"

After she finished speaking, she regretted a little, but the words she said were like splashed water, and she couldn't take them back.

Jasmine also stared blankly at the few birds perched on the treetops not far away.

After a while, just when Akiko Yajima thought that Jasmine would not answer this question again, Jasmine also said slowly: "I was moved. But in front of righteousness, personal emotions are insignificant."

Akiko Yajima was moved, but couldn't bear to see her current expression.

The treetops shook slightly, and the bird flew away.

"...My love, I only want to give it to someone who can stand in the sun."

Jasmine also said.

After a long time, Yajima Akiko made an admiring comment: "I withdraw my preface, you are indeed a very good public security policeman."

Jasmine also evoked a calm smile after experiencing the storm.

"Thank you, I'll take it as a compliment."

***

A cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

Jasmine also walked slowly past one short tombstone after another, and finally stopped in front of a small stone tablet that hadn't had time to engrave the name of the deceased.

She bent down to put down the lily in her hand, straightened up, and unconsciously stroked her flat abdomen when she retracted her hand.

Silent for a long time.

In the distance, Kazami's voice came: "Hey! Furuya! It's going to rain! You just got out of the hospital and you're not feeling well, so don't get caught in the rain!"

Jasmine also turned her head.

With her movements, a necklace slipped out of her collar.Below the necklace, two simple faceted rings, one large and one small, nestle quietly together.Several small diamonds inlaid on the face of the ring complement each other under the weak sunlight.

got windy.

Under Kazami's loud urging, Jasmine also turned and left.

She re-armed herself, wrapping her soft heart with layers of hard ice.

Those unforgettable memories.

That deep love.

That long farewell.

She will use her whole life to forget his existence.
