Chu Ming put on the gloves he had just shamelessly asked for from the evidence searcher, picked up the pen and looked at it carefully: "Can you tell who this pen belongs to?"
Director Ochiai came over and said, "This is a souvenir for the 50th anniversary of the Rice Flower Museum. Each person involved will receive one."
Chu Ming twisted the pen: "Something is wrong. Why is the tip of the pen tucked away? The victim is about to be killed, and you still have the time to put the pen away?"
Conan squatted aside thoughtfully. Chu Ming wanted to remind him again, but when he thought of Conan's figure jumping like a little flea in front of Director Ochiai in order to catch the murderer in this case, he silently withdrew his hand that was about to point to the traces of the note, and instead took out his mobile phone to leave precious images for Conan.
——Sure enough, after Conan ran back and forth to identify the murderer, he snatched the notebook from Xiaolan's hand, looked up, closed his eyes and shouted: "Oh, I can't hold it anymore, where is the toilet~ Where, where~" While shouting, he jumped up and down in front of Director Ochiai.
Probably mesmerized by Conan's cute performance, Director Ochiai didn't think much about it and took out a ballpoint pen to draw a route map for him.
Chu Ming sighed while recording the video: Wow, using his appearance to confuse the poor old man, Kudo Shinichi is really a good guy.
Chapter 11 Why not disguise yourself as Vodka?
Director Ochiai stood there in a daze. Conan no longer pretended to be young. He pushed his glasses that had slipped down his nose and talked to him, frantically outputting his own reasoning, saying the most horrifying words to Director Ochiai in the cutest tone, and frantically hinted at Kogoro Mori.
"I see. By using a soundless videotape and a pen that can't write, the criminal wants to mislead us into a reasoning that is completely different from the truth! This is the trap he set! But all of this! Can't be hidden from the eyes of me, Kogoro Mouri!! Hahahaha hehe..." Kogoro Mouri was like an old signal receiver. The signal kept spinning in front of him for a long time before he slowly received the message.
"——So Director Ochiai, do you have an alibi between 4:30 and 5:00?"
"curator……"
Director Ochiai lowered his head and said quietly, "At that time, I was waiting to meet someone. He was a demon with a corrupted soul. I felt that he was beyond redemption. I hid in the armor. I don't think I need to say more about what happened next..."
"But why? Director, you already know that Mr. Manaka did not violate the contract. Although I'm sorry about this, he bought the museum and it's his freedom to do whatever he wants."
"I know, I know! But he is too selfish! I wanted to talk to him again! He was the one who insisted on destroying this sacred art museum! He also mocked me and said that even if I threw away these artworks, it would not be a good deal for me! I will never allow it! I want to get rid of this devil! He can't take away artworks that are like my children from me, and Keida who sells artworks casually! I will punish him too!" Director Ochiai's inner demons are too deep, and he seems to have gone a little crazy.
Maori Kogoro sighed deeply: "Director, life is not a work of art. It is different from painting. The moment you killed Boss Manaka, you also suffered divine punishment..."
"No, it's the same. Although the devil was killed by the righteous knight, the knight was also baptized by the evil blood, which means that he himself was also contaminated by the devil. After all, I have become a murderer. Now I am the incarnation of the devil. Those evidences are evil bloodstains that cannot be washed away. No matter how you cover them up, they cannot escape the eyes of justice - child, you don't have to go to the toilet." In the bloody dusk, Director Ochiai stood in front of the body of Boss Manaka and let out a sad laugh.
It started with art and ended with art. The dragon-slayer boy eventually became the dragon. Chu Ming felt a little emotional when he saw Director Ochiai being taken away by the police.
Xiaolan was obviously a little unhappy, Conan pretended to be good to make her happy, Chu Ming walked over, Xiaolan smiled and said: "Brother Chu Ming, we are going to Saitama Prefecture to watch the world's first night festival in two days, do you want to come with us?"
Conan stared at Chu Ming with a death gaze. What was going on? Xiaolan didn't smile even after he teased her for so long. Why did Xiaolan ask him out the moment this guy came? Could it be——!!
"Sister Xiaolan, maybe Brother Chu Ming has to go to class, so let's go." Conan grabbed the corner of Xiaolan's clothes and squeezed in between the two of them, using his body to form a line of defense between the two of them.
Chu Ming smelled the strong smell of vinegar in the air and said with a playful smile: "I'm sorry, Xiaolan, my boss at my part-time job wants to take me on a business trip recently, maybe--"
Before Chu Ming finished speaking, Conan immediately looked up and said, "That's great - no, that's a pity, Chu Ming brother, you have to work hard~"
"——But the place where I'm on a business trip is Saitama Prefecture, maybe we can meet then~" Chu Ming said the second half of the sentence with malicious intent, and the little detective's face immediately fell.
Xiaolan touched Conan's head and said, "Stop messing around, Conan. If you don't listen, I won't take you with me."
Damn you, Xiaolan, what an idiot! Conan screamed in his heart.
----
After saying goodbye to Maori and the other two, Chu Ming opened the mall. The emotional points collected during this period plus the points gained from the magnetic field had reached 3882 points. The combat experience bar had increased significantly due to the improvement of physical fitness from absorbing the magnetic field. However, Gin couldn't have taken him out to do the mission because of his martial arts ability. It was more likely because of his ability to detect clues. In order to not fail in the subsequent tasks, he spent 2000 points to upgrade the insight skill.
"Ding - Upgraded successfully, Insight skill level +2, current level lv70."
The insight ability has risen to a higher level, and the improvement is very significant. Basically, now when Chu Ming walks on the street, he can find out information about any pedestrian through clues. It is a bit similar to Sherlock Holmes' basic deductive method, which is to capture clues and discover effective information through observation, and then infer the results.
——It’s just a bit straining on the eyes and brain. Chu Ming blinked his sore eyes and turned back to improve his memory. Although his memory was not bad, wouldn’t it be cool to have a memory palace similar to Sherlock Holmes?
Hey, that person... Chu Ming watched a young man carrying a golf bag hurriedly crossing the road. His steps were hurried and a little messy, and there were tiny black marks on his fingers - it was black gunpowder! His face was pale, but his eyes were full of murderous intent. His fingers were tightly grasping the straps of the golf bag in his hand, and his joints were clearly visible with blue veins, indicating that he was very uneasy at this time. Did he want to kill someone? It seemed that he had made up his mind. It was quite interesting.
Chu Ming quietly threw a mark on him, which was a skill he had just discovered recently. When binding, the system said that it would adjust the function according to the game mode he was used to. He had been exploring the game he played before crossing over, and recently got the map mark and character mark locking function. As long as the mark is placed, his location can be checked on the map at any time within a month, and if the marked person appears nearby, a reminder will be highlighted above his head.
Moreover, Chu Ming discovered a super useful new skill - face pinching.
This is also one of the common features of the game, but before, face-pinching cost money, but now it costs points. If you want to save a face, points will be deducted according to the degree of adjustment of the facial features. And unlike the scientific disguise technique, which can be male or female, large or small, you can only change your original face. But it is also very useful for Chu Ming.
For example, when I go to the Shinkansen for the deal with my eldest brother tomorrow, I can disguise myself as Vodka. After all, if I happen to meet Conan and he sees me hanging out with Gin, he probably won't take me to play with him anymore. Then I will lose a big income from my magnetic field fragments. This is not good.
Let him direct his hatred toward gin and vodka. Too much debt is always a burden.
Chapter 12 Vodka Won't Be Angry
As usual, Gin held a cigarette in his mouth, refused Vodka's company, and sat in the Porsche waiting for Chu Ming to arrive.
The passenger door was opened. Gin frowned as he looked at Vodka who was about to sit down. He quickly pulled out a gun and pointed it at him, saying in a deep voice: "I think I said you don't have to follow me, you——"
Before he finished speaking, he looked at the "Vodka" in front of him and showed a smile that was totally inconsistent with his image, looking particularly shifty: "Brother, it's me! My disguise is okay, right? Isn't it super-resembling~"
The hand holding the gun was shaking slightly.
Gin clenched the gun in his hand, using all his willpower to prevent himself from pulling the trigger, and almost squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "What the hell is this?"
"Vodka" - that is, the disguised Chu Ming, shook his head and said proudly: "I am a college student with a good family background. What if I am seen doing something bad by someone I know? This trick is called deceiving the world and making the fake look real~"
Gin wanted to poke the gun into Chu Ming's brain to release the water inside. He ignored Chu Ming and turned around to start the car.
"Wow, how can I be so worthy as to have big brother drive for me personally? I'm really so touched." Chu Mingbang read out these words like an aria.
Seeing that Gin ignored him, Chu Ming continued: "Brother, the seat I am sitting in now belongs to Vodka. If he knew that I was sitting in the passenger seat of your brother and asked him to drive for me, Vodka would not be angry, right? But I——"
Gin, who was no longer able to endure it, spoke with a chill in his voice: "If you don't shut up, we're going to get out of the car and fight now."
The chattering sound stopped abruptly. Chu Ming used his hands to make a zipper-like motion on his mouth and sat still obediently.
Alas, my brother will never know how much effort I put into making him happy early in the morning, he only knows how to be mean to me.
Gin parked the car at the Shinkansen parking lot and motioned for Chu Ming to take the suitcase on the back seat: "Handle it with care, don't blow yourself up by accident."
Chu Ming carefully used two fingers to pinch out the box. Seeing Gin's death ray sweeping towards him, he quickly took the box and put on the simple and honest expression that Vodka often used, and straightened his face: "Brother, let's go. But can this thing pass the security check?"
Gin looked at his familiar subordinates and looked away with an angry look on his face: "The organization will arrange it, just go in."
Sure enough, he followed Gin's footsteps and walked in unimpeded, ready to sit down.
"Ding", the door opened. Chu Ming looked down from above and saw a little detective standing at the door, who was obviously stunned. He couldn't hide the shrinking and shock in his eyes. Before Gin noticed the little guy under his feet, Chu Ming picked him up and put him aside for the sake of future magnetic field fragments: "Little boy, a good dog doesn't block the road, get out of the way."
Chu Ming met Gin's eyes and straightened his chest. He gave him a proud look with an expression that said, "I'm proud of my brother for clearing the way for me."
Gin ignored his younger brother who was acting crazy again and walked straight to his seat and sat down.
-
Conan returned to his seat and glanced back quietly. The two men in black were sitting not far behind him. They seemed to be talking about something, but it was completely inaudible. Oh, the bug that the doctor made for me! I have to find a way to pass the bug over. I must find out the identities of these people. As long as I can get the drug that shrinks me, I can recover! When I recover my identity, I will bring these people to justice!
Conan, who was dreaming, noticed that the two men in black got up from their seats and walked out. Hmm? Where were they going?
Conan immediately turned around and chased after him.
In the restaurant on the second floor, Gin went in and found a seat by the window to sit down. Chu Ming looked around, trying to see who was the one who came to trade, but Gin pushed him down on the seat and gave him a warning look: "Be careful when trading later, if you lose your mind again, hum——"
Well, the more unfinished the words are, the more threatening they are, so Chu Ming just sat down obediently.
After a while, a short-haired woman wearing high heels came over with a suitcase. She came to their table with a clear purpose, put down the suitcase and whispered, "The money is here. Where is the thing I want?"
Gin motioned Chu Ming to hand over the suitcase and said, "Here is the suitcase. To ensure the safety of the transaction, call me at 3:10 to confirm the password of the suitcase."
The woman left with a serious face, holding the suitcase. Chu Ming pestered Gin to stay in the restaurant for a while and had lunch. Then he followed Gin back with satisfaction.
As soon as I got to my seat, I found that the ashtray on the armrest had been moved. Conan must have already placed the bug.
But because he had to maintain his personal image, he couldn't pretend not to see it and arouse suspicion, so he frowned slightly and looked at the handrail carefully: "Brother, the ashtray seems to have been moved."
Conan, who was eavesdropping from a distance, was almost scared to death, because Chu Ming had gained the largest amount of emotion points so far: 980 points.
Wow, it seems that next time I have to bring Gin to Conan more often within a safe range. This sheep is too fat, I would be sorry to myself if I don’t pull him.
Gin's hand was ready to reach into his arms, but after all, it was not appropriate to make big movements on the Shinkansen. He raised his chin slightly, motioning Chu Ming to take out the ashtray. Chu Ming opened it and relaxed a little: "I don't know who spit out the gum. Damn, he has no sense of public morality. Can't he spit in the ashtray at his seat?"
Gin didn't care anymore, and Chu Ming began to send information to Conan. Although many people were definitely excited after the Shinkansen was bombed, in order to adhere to the strategy of sustainable development, Conan could not be buried here, otherwise he would be as stupid as the farmer who killed the chicken that laid the golden eggs.
For a better future, Chu Ming still extended his hand to Conan.
"Brother, do you usually have such an easy time doing missions? Just by saying a few words and sending a suitcase, you can get 400 million. What's in it?"
Seeing that Chu Ming did not make any mistakes during the transaction, Gin still spoke up politely: "This is valuable information. With this, they can earn more than 4 million."
"Then why don't we do it ourselves? Rum is obviously very idle recently, so give him something to do~" I'm giving you some code information for free, so little detective, hurry up and say thank you to Chu Ming.
"Do you think it's real intelligence? She is no longer of any use to the organization. The bag is filled with bombs."
"No wonder my elder brother told me to be gentle with him before—"My elder brother is so good to me~
Gin's murderous intent was boiling, and his malice was about to overflow: "When it's 3:10, she will press the starter unconsciously, and in 10 seconds——"
Chu Ming's eyes lit up as he imagined the ground filled with magnetic fields. He couldn't help but reply, "With a bang, the entire Shinkansen will explode into ashes—" Unfortunately, with Conan here, he won't be able to see this scene.
"Ashes!!!!" Conan, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but shout out.
Gin and Chu Ming looked at him with serious expressions.
Conan thought to himself that this was not good, and quickly stammered to make excuses: "Plane! I just saw a plane~~ Sister Xiaolan, look, it's in the sky~"
Gin withdrew his gaze and sneered, "Boring kid. We've arrived at Nagoya, get off the bus."
Chu Ming glanced at Conan with regret. It was a pity that he couldn't take part in this case, but no one died in the end, so it didn't matter if he missed out on the fun.
Chapter 13 What are you doing?
As Chu Ming followed Gin out, he caught a glimpse of Conan rushing forward like a cannonball, and when he was about to grab his clothes, he was caught by Xiaolan, who showed justice from the sky.
After getting off the car with Gin from Nagoya, Chu Ming was surprised to find that Gin's Porsche appeared in the parking lot of Nagoya: "Brother! Your car has grown legs!" Could this be the legendary magical skill of carving a boat to find a sword?
"Don't make a fuss. I asked Vodka to drive it over."
"Is that so?" Chu Ming thought that this kind of high-tech automatic path-finding vehicle had already been developed in the scientific era.
He dragged Vodka's slightly bulky body and walked forward quickly and attentively: "Brother, brother, let me help you drive!"
Gin stared at Chu Ming suspiciously: "You?"
"I can, I can. Vodka's driver's license should be in the car. I can drive. Let me do it." Chu Ming rubbed his hands in anticipation. He was not yet an adult, and the timeline of Ke Xue was so chaotic. If he wanted to satisfy his driving addiction, he had to cherish his time in disguise. Besides, this was a Porsche 356A! He had never driven one before.
Seeing Gin frowned, he seemed to be refusing: "Brother, if we drive to Saitama Prefecture! It's such a long journey! How tiring it will be for you to go on the mission...balabala"
Gin was impatient to listen to Chu Ming's chatter, so he walked around the front of the car and went to the passenger seat: "You'd better be careful."
"Don't worry, brother. I drive very steadily." Chu Ming rubbed his hands and touched the steering wheel with some excitement.
