Why hide the face if it's not someone we already seen before?

If mangaka comes out with "Tsumi was sending out text messages with her hands tied behind her back" I'm going to cry bullshit.

... Hmm... Well... Maybe if her fingers were super precise and she had practiced a lot. ... Still falls in to "Physically possible, but in practice impossible."

If she's texting, then the person outside is probably the detective.

Alternatively, Tsumi is playing games directly with the mastermind.

Still... If Tsumi is playing everyone, this was a stupidly risky plan, these people could have killed her multiple times by now but for plot armor.

Either she's finally getting vengeance on the people who killed her family.

Or she was directing the criminals all along, and either intentionally killed her own family, or the gang inadvertently killed her family during a robbery that she directed. And now she's cleaning things up, and maybe setting herself up to go to jail.

I don't think it's her family.

it's risky, and she is someone who totally could do something that dangerous. But i don't think it not make sense that she avoid dead to call it plot armor.
They are thief who do it for money, make no mistake they will kill without bat an eye, but not for nothing. as it show, they did think twice twice before kill her, so as bad as they are, they would preferable not kill, still. And she have already read them, so have time or try to stall or plan doubt into their head, isn't an improbable task

I'm not so sure. When the magazine is empty and you rack the slide like that, it's supposed to stay open. I don't know of any modern handgun that doesn't have that feature. If it's empty then we'd have to chalk that up to the author being Japanese.

Also, does anyone else find it weird that the gun is in his hand on page 14, then somehow on the ground on 15? Did he put it down before running upstairs?

Thank you for the update!!

What I want to know is how spica will get out of that chair cus if the guy in the car comes and kills the old man with the gun who’s going to set her free or is it going to be one of those times where the Mc could break free this entire time and spica was just waiting for them to just get rid of themselves although I don’t think that was the case cus that strategy is is kind of risky and for the other murders she did she seemed to like playing it safe until confronting at the end unless her target was the guy in the car this entire time and she was just using the thieves to lure him out this plan doesn’t make sense.

Anyway thanks for the TL it’s much appreciated

Continuity error I'm assuming. Or a second gun, but that seems less likely in this given context.

Yeah, most authors don't know about proper gun mechanisms, but it adds to the drama and suspense if he pulls the trigger. Suspension of disbelief to make the story more interesting to the average audience who wouldn't know that fact.

Yeah, that was throwing me off as well.

But what if she reads the thoughts and emotions of the phone? Since she's touching it and all

Yeah I noticed that too. Either the artist made a mistake or the pages got placed in the wrong order.
