——It’s Ken Nishimoto.
He went straight to the warehouse, paced around like a trapped beast, then suddenly stopped and bit his hand nervously, with his back to the door, wondering what he was thinking.
At this time Cheng Shi walked out quietly, suddenly put the rope in his hand around his neck and tightened it backwards. Xi Benjian's eyes bulged out. Long-term drug abuse caused his physical condition to deteriorate sharply. He had no resistance at all. After a while, his hands dropped down. Chu Ming, who was hiding aside, felt the fresh magnetic field with satisfaction.
He walked out from the darkness. Cheng Shi, who was playing the music sheet, was startled and then lowered his eyes: "Have you been discovered... Well, my revenge has been taken."
Chu Ming handed over the music sheet he found in the warehouse: "Your father actually hopes that you can live a good life."
Cheng Shi took the music sheet and smiled bitterly: "It's too late. My hands are already covered in blood. I guess the detective will find me soon..."
Chu Ming looked at her and thought for a while: "Are you willing to join our organization? If you are willing, I can help you. Our organization has less work and more money, generous salary, considerate leaders, and harmonious colleagues. It's just a little dangerous. Have you heard of black doctors?"
That's what HR is like, they trick people into joining them first and then do something else.
"Black doctor?" This was obviously beyond Cheng Shi's knowledge.
"Yes, our organization is currently in the expansion period and we are short of doctors. I can recommend you to go, but I hope you can control your mouth and not shout about the fact that you killed someone." Especially don't let Big Brother know that I was lazy and threw the task assigned to me to you.
Cheng Shi stared at Chu Ming: "How are you going to help me?"
"You have two choices. If you still want your public identity, I can help you destroy the evidence. Without evidence, I can't arrest you even if I suspect you. The second choice is to give up your public identity and escape. I will find someone to take you away."
"The second one, my father's revenge has been taken, so let the identity of Masanobu Shinobu be covered up along with the fire..."
Chu Ming nodded, stuffed the music sheet back into the cabinet, and dealt with his own traces: "I will arrange it, you can continue according to your own plan."
I'm a new employee. My boss will definitely praise me. Miyano Akemi left, and now Asai Narimi is here~
----
In the piano room, Mr. Murasawa, who had been attacked, was lying on the ground. Conan was pressing on the piano, and Chu Ming leaned over to ask curiously.
"what are you doing?"
"Just now I saw a man in black groping around down there looking for something - ah, got it."
Conan pushed open a secret door, reached in and felt around, but it was empty.
--This is?
He found some white powder on the ground. He dipped some with his hand and put it under his nose. Just as he was about to smell it, Chu Ming was so scared that he slapped his hand away.
? Conan's big eyes were full of questions.
"You are so timid! This is obviously a drug, and you are still sniffing it? What do you want to do?"
Conan widened his eyes and pinched the powder, sure enough!
"I know why that secretary came to spy yesterday, and even made up a curse to keep people away. He must be afraid of being discovered."
"I'll go see if the policeman has found the music score!" Conan remembered something and ran out.
After Conan finally figured out the fact that Cheng Shi was a crossdresser with the music score that the old policeman had found with great difficulty, he thought about this morning when they were staying up all night together to catch up on their sleep. Due to insufficient bedding, Cheng Shi almost slept in the same quilt with Xiaolan. Fortunately, Chu Ming didn't want to sleep, so they avoided being squeezed together.
Thinking of this, Conan's fists hardened. Damn it, you are even more hateful than me pretending to be a child. I also want to be close to my Xiaolan!
Chapter 23 Death Brand Drink Holder
Because the murderer was finally found, Conan was overly excited and hurried into the broadcasting room. He shot Kogoro Maori unconscious with a shot and talked to the radio. The police on the first floor were so excited that they didn't notice that Chu Ming and Cheng Shi exchanged glances. Chu Ming slightly turned his body to block everyone's attention for Cheng Shi, and Cheng Shi took the opportunity to run out.
After hearing the explanation, the police remembered that they wanted to see the prisoner cry, kneel and confess, and when they looked at the scene, huh? Where is the prisoner?
Chu Ming rolled his eyes secretly. He had no idea what the police in the science world were thinking. They were only concerned with listening to the detective's chatter. What if not all the murderers cooperated and listened to the detective's story?
Chu Ming's ears moved slightly, and what came with the sound of the wind was Beethoven's symphony - Moonlight.
This is the secret code agreed upon by Chu Ming and Cheng Shi.
Chu Ming immediately looked anxious: "Where's Doctor Asai? Why is he gone?"
The policemen around looked around, and when they arrived at the piano room, a raging fire had already broken out in the room, with thick smoke rising. In the flickering firelight, Cheng Shi was leisurely playing a song on the piano.
"Squeaky—" Conan rushed in hastily, "Don't do this. Look, the music score your father left behind tells you to live well! Take a look!"
Cheng Shi looked at Conan's young but determined face and smiled bitterly: "It's too late, little detective..."
Perhaps the fire brought back Cheng Shi's memories, or perhaps it was to say goodbye to the past completely, Cheng Shi gradually revealed his past to Conan.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the visibility in the house became lower and lower. Cheng Shi began to choke and cough as he spoke.
Conan anxiously pulled at his clothes: "Get out of here! There's still time!"
The tears in Chengshi's eyes grew more and more, and he was about to send Conan out.
Chu Ming ran in holding a wet towel. Cheng Shi looked at him, stuffed Conan into his arms, and pushed the two of them out.
Chu Ming took the opportunity to hang the 'Son of the God of Fire' buff he had exchanged on Cheng Shi. Conan was still struggling to go down and pull Cheng Shi, but the fire was too big and bricks and tiles fell from time to time. Fortunately, Chu Ming was agile and was not hit.
A huge piece of wood came roaring down, engulfed in flames. Chu Ming hugged Conan tightly and rolled over to avoid it, but his hand fell on the hot charcoal.
"Hiss——" Chu Ming gritted his teeth. Damn! What a loss!
"Brother Chu Ming!"
"Okay, Conan, I'll take you out first!" Chu Ming used some strength to control Conan, ignored his shouting, dodged the falling objects all the way, ran to the door, threw Conan directly to Xiaolan, turned around and continued to walk into the fire.
"Brother Chu Ming, come back soon!"
"Brother Chu Ming!"
"Boy! Don't go in there!"
…………
Ignoring the shouts behind him, he was determined to send Chengshi out.
He let Cheng Shi dive into the sea from the back window as planned. Chu Ming had already arranged peripheral members to pick him up in advance. He painfully exchanged a customized corpse from the system mall and placed it near the piano. This was a body made based on Cheng Shi's DNA scanned by the system. No matter how the police checked, they would not find anything unusual.
The only drawback is that it is expensive. This time all the points I got from the three corpses were wasted.
After everything was arranged, the small green dot on the small map that marked Chengshi was also taken away. Seeing that the fire was already raging, Chu Ming knew that if he didn't get out, he would probably be dead.
Conan and his friends outside looked anxiously at the room which was gradually being engulfed by flames, and kept looking around.
"Bang" the window on the second floor was broken, Chu Ming flew down from the second floor and fell to the ground. His body was still a little wet, and there were some scratches on his handsome face, which was stained with a lot of black ash. There were several burns on his arms, and blood was slowly oozing out. He looked particularly embarrassed.
Chu Ming gasped, his eyes full of guilt and regret: "I couldn't save Dr. Asai - I'm sorry, I..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! It's great that you protected yourself and didn't get hurt!" Inspector Megure hurriedly comforted him. After all, the fire was so big that it was not easy for him to save himself and get out.
"but--"
"Okay, Brother Chu Ming, take care of your injuries quickly." Xiaolan walked over with a medical box.
"Oh my god——" Conan exclaimed. "Brother Chu Ming, your hand!"
The palm that had just pressed on the charcoal was bloody and the flesh was rolling around. The charred flesh and oozing blood mixed together, looking particularly hideous against the backdrop of the white and slender fingers.
"Thank you, Brother Chu Ming. If it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't..." Conan had some guilt in his eyes. If it weren't for saving him, Chu Ming wouldn't have been so badly injured.
Chu Ming stroked Conan's head with his intact hand to stop him from continuing.
"When I was injured last time, wasn't Conan the first one to come and help me? You see, we are even now."
So, little detective, remember to call me next time there is a case. In order to recruit new members for the winery, I have already incurred negative assets.
---------------------------
Chu Ming held up his hand that was wrapped like a pumpkin, quite speechless.
"Hey, hey--Xiaolan, is there any need to be so exaggerated?"
Xiaolan complained: "Brother Chu Ming, you should be more careful. You are obviously injured but you still want to run inside."
"What's the matter? I just want to see--"
The fire gradually became smaller and after it was put out, the police found Cheng Shi's "corpse" at the fire scene. In order to prevent the system from cheating him of a large amount of funds and not doing his job, and to fill in any loopholes, Chu Ming also followed in.
——Although he was immediately caught by Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri and sent to Ran for custody.
However, the police have confirmed that the body is Cheng Shi's, and finally closed the case as the murderer committed suicide.
On the cruise ship back to Tokyo, Chu Ming lay on the deck wearing sunglasses and basking in the sun leisurely, with his bandaged hands safely placed at his side. He tilted his head and drank the orange juice that Conan held to his lips. Wow, the orange juice served by the god of death himself was really extra sweet——
Conan laughed and changed his sore left hand to his right hand and continued to raise it. Damn it, please give me back the emotion I had felt before!
Chapter 24 Codename: Granburch
It has been some time since he returned to Tokyo. After recruiting Cheng Shi into the organization's hospital, Gin arranged for someone to check his background as usual.
Gin had called Chu Ming to come to the base a few days ago, but Chu Ming made excuses to delay it several times, and finally, Gin, who could no longer bear it, blocked him at the door.
Chu Ming leaned against the wall with a guilty conscience, and quietly hid his hand behind his back. Because he had been hanging around Conan every day recently, using his injured hand as an excuse to pressure Conan, he had not used his points to repair his wound, and it was not convenient to do so in front of Gin now.
However, it couldn't be hidden, Gin frowned and pulled his hand away from his waist.
——Look at a hand wrapped like a rice dumpling.
Gin's aura suddenly emerged, and murderous intent was released without mercy.
"What happened? Who did it? Are you stupid enough to get hurt on a small mission?"
Chu Ming looked at his hand that was pinched by Gin with tears in his eyes and spoke pitifully.
"Brother, if I say this injury is fake, would you believe me?"
If you believe me, I will secretly repair it now. Anyway, I have gained a lot of points from teasing Conan recently, which is enough for me to repair my hand.
"Heh." Gin just gave Chu Ming a cold smile.
"Vodka, go check out the mission on Moon Shadow Island." Gin dragged Chu Ming downstairs and stuffed him into the car, then spoke to Vodka who was in the driver's seat.
--------
It’s the same room, the same monitor, the same shadow.
Gin stood aside with a little respect, but the murderous look in his eyes stabbed Chu Ming like a knife.
As soon as Karasuma Renya connected to the surveillance camera, he saw Chu Ming's mummy-like palm and Gin's murderous intent. He spoke because he had already known the details through the undercover agent on the police side.
"Chu Ming, you completed the mission very well this time. The police have a relatively positive opinion of you, so it will be easier for you to get some intelligence in the future. But if you want to win the favor of the police, you must focus on protecting yourself. Do you understand?"
Chu Ming's scalp numbed at Gin's murderous aura, and he immediately nodded when he heard it.
