He picked up the phone. It was only six o'clock. Who would call at this time... Chu Ming answered the phone.
"Hello. Who is this?"
"Brother Chu Ming, are you still sleeping? Did I disturb you?"
Xiaolan's gentle voice was heard, and Conan could vaguely be heard retorting: How is that possible? It's already six o'clock, Brother Chu Ming must have gotten up and was exercising.
Damn Death God Elementary School Student, how can I refute you after you said so?
"No need to bother you, I got up a long time ago. What's the matter?"
"It's like this. Conan said that Chu Ming-ge mentioned that he could play golf during our previous chat. Didn't Dad agree to participate in a charity golf club with Nichimi TV? How could he play golf? But when he heard that it was recommended by Ms. Okino Yoko, he immediately agreed. Really - there are more discounts at the golf driving range in the morning. Dad plans to go there to practice early in the morning. Is Chu Ming-ge free?"
As expected, Okino Yoko is known as the trap of Kogoro Mori. Whenever she is mentioned, Kogoro Mori will never miss her on any occasion.
"Okay, here's the address. I'll go directly there. Don't you have classes today?"
"It's still early. Dad insisted that we go over to see his skills. We'll still have enough time to go to school afterwards."
…………
When we arrived, we saw from afar Kogoro Mori practicing diligently, but nine out of ten shots missed, and one hit the ground.
CLUBS: I was terrified.
"Uncle Maori, are you so serious? It's only half past six..." Chu Ming walked over slowly, lazily leaned on the back of the chair behind Conan, and stretched out his hand to rub Conan's head vigorously, "Are you doing this on purpose? Who would get up at six o'clock to exercise for no reason?"
Conan chuckled twice, we are all in trouble together -
Yawning, Chu Ming stepped forward to correct Maori Kogoro's wrong posture and demonstrated his lead and putt. As expected of the top 1 in the police academy, Maori Kogoro was able to go from nine out of ten to eight out of ten...
Chu Ming saw Kogoro Mouri practicing hard again, then turned around and slumped in the chair next to Conan. It was damn annoying that he would die of sudden death sooner or later if he went to bed late and got up early. No, he had to start slacking off.
what--
Chu Ming and Conan turned around at the same time and saw a group of people walking in from the door. They were carrying golf clubs, and they took off their suit jackets and draped them over their arms, talking and laughing as they walked in.
Conan was curious, but Chu Ming was not, because he saw a person with the mark he had marked on his head before -
——It's the guy who was carrying a golf bag and had black powder in his hand that night, huh? Is there another magnetic field fragment to be added to the account?
As soon as the group of people entered, the young man with a mark on his head covered his stomach and said he needed to go to the toilet, then ran out. The remaining three were obviously the manager in the middle.
Conan was so full of complaints about Maori Kogoro's skills that he didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only say to Xiaolan: "Sister Xiaolan, I'm going to watch others play~"
Then all three of them shifted their gaze, moved their stools, and turned to the side to watch the manager play.
Maori Kogoro finally chose to take a break after fighting for a while. He saw that the two people who had been fighting on the opposite side had become one, and subconsciously asked: "How come he is fighting so fast? Is he done?"
Conan, who had been watching, looked up and answered, "Because that uncle hits the ball very fast, and he also gave some of the ball to the manager."
I knew Maori Kogoro had bad intentions when he looked at me. "Really? This is too obvious a flattery."
Then, the person who originally wanted to take a break pulled out another club and continued playing in order to show that he was better. Perhaps he wanted to surpass the speed of the uncle who just played, so he swung the club faster and faster, and missed many shots in a row.
"Ahhhh, damn it!" Kogoro Mouri banged the golf cue in frustration.
"How many times have I failed--" Chu Ming said weakly.
"It's been the twentyth time--" Xiaolan was speechless.
Conan on the side couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing the three people laughing at him, Kogoro Maori became furious. He clenched the club with both hands, bent his legs slightly, aimed at the ball in front of him and prepared to swing hard.
A dazzling light flashed, followed by a violent impact mixed with a deafening sound. Kogoro Mouri was knocked to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion, and the manager who was at the center of the explosion fell directly to the ground.
Chu Ming, who was sitting on the chair, was frightened away from his drowsiness.
"What's wrong, is Gin coming to kill us?"
He jumped up and subconsciously pressed on his waist, but felt nothing. Then he reacted and took out his cell phone from his pocket to call the police and ambulance, thus stealing Xiaolan's job.
Chapter 32 Is this how you judge the murderer?
After the loud explosion, Chu Ming stared at the young man he had marked, then glanced over his hand and moved his eyes away with disdain.
Tsk, he wanted to use the self-torture tactic but was unwilling to hurt himself, no wonder he got caught.
Hey, can't the system earn points by catching criminals? Without points, Chu Ming has no desire to solve the case.
"Ding - the small world's plot participation includes participating in solving cases. The higher the host's participation in the case, the higher the integration with this world, and the more points you will get."
"You never said this before!"
"The system reminded me on the first day I arrived in this world that I would earn points by participating in the plot." If the mechanical voice had feelings, it would definitely feel aggrieved at this moment.
Chu Ming secretly complained that this system was too unintelligent. There should be a list of points to be earned. It was really an annoying little system that required only poking and moving every time.
Chu Ming followed the crowd and gathered around the victim. Maori Kogoro immediately stopped others from touching him, checked his breath and pulse on the side of his neck, and shook his head: "He's dead, Xiaolan, call Officer Megure quickly--"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Ming added: "I called the police and an ambulance. It seems that many people were injured in the explosion."
Chu Ming glanced at Maori Kogoro who was checking nearby clues. According to Maori Kogoro's classic inference method, wouldn't Maori Kogoro be the suspect? Because he was jealous that the victim played better than him...
Before the police arrived, Kogoro Mouri had already stated his identity as a detective and asked about the basic situation.
It turns out that the four of them were employees of Goi Electric. The victim, Tachibana Eisuke, was the manager of their development department. The one who left before the explosion was the section chief of the development department, Yasui Nii. The ones injured in the explosion were Okubo Ren'ya, the director of the development department, and Minami Tomofumi, an ordinary member marked by Chu Ming.
The owner of the golf driving range looked devastated. If this got out, who would dare to come here to practice in the future?
"What happened? Why did it explode suddenly?!"
Conan's face was full of solemnity. This pungent smell should be -
"It's black powder."
Conan nodded. Yes, it is black powder, huh? Who is talking?
He looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, Chu Ming's ideas always matched his.
Facing the little detective's eyes that concealed approval, Chu Ming smiled slyly inwardly, there's something that will surprise you even more, get out of the way, I'm going to start acting smart soon.
As he was talking, Inspector Megure had already arrived. He looked speechlessly at Maori Kogoro who was touching his head and looking at him: "Why are you here again!"
"Haha, Officer Megure, yes! It's me again, the famous detective Maori Kogoro! I will definitely find the murderer!"
.........
After Officer Megure conducted routine questioning, the officers from the Forensic Division came to him to report the situation.
"Reporting to the officer, the scene has been investigated. The suspect used black powder. Scattered around the scene are fragments of long-distance golf club heads. There is also half a golf ball with a fuse inside."
Maori Kogoro stroked his chin, looking thoughtful: "The bomb was originally installed in the golf ball, and then the impact of the club hitting it was used to detonate the bomb."
Officer Megure took the ball from the forensic officer, examined it carefully, and turned to ask the golf course manager, "Mr. Katsuta, are the golf balls here marked with the Red Cross?"
"No, we are all marked by a green line, and you look at the ball on the field."
"Then it seems that the red mark is the identification of the bomb. I just don't know whether this explosion is aimed at an individual or an indiscriminate terrorist attack?"
At this moment, Nan Zhishi suddenly stood up and spoke wisely: "I think this should be a personal case against Manager Tachibana, because among the three people present, both I and the other two have motives to kill Manager Tachibana."
Chu Ming said to him that he suddenly jumped out, "Haha, do you think you are safe? How confident must you be to jump out like this? Are you so sure that your method is foolproof? This is not Werewolf, why would you expose yourself to raise your status......"
The other two were stunned by Minami Tomofumi's remarks and began to expose themselves crazily, as well as exposing the motives of others and blaming each other.
Maori Kogoro on the side suddenly raised his hand: "I understand, I understand, officer!"
Great, now we can start eliminating wrong answers.
"The murderer must have mixed the ball with other balls. So the most likely suspect is Okubo who took the ball out of the ball machine - that's you!"
Yasui on the side immediately jumped out: "It's you! Minami Tomofumi and I didn't touch the manager's ball bucket today, only you! You..."
Maori Kogoro interrupted him: "That's not necessarily true. Mr. Minami Tomofumi is indeed not a suspect, but you are different. You just gave half of your ball to Manager Tachibana, so it is very likely that you took the opportunity to give the ball to the manager!"
Wow, two eliminated in one go.
Kogoro Mori spoke eloquently and confidently stated his reasoning.
The police also found several red-marked golf balls in Mr. Yasui's bag and handed them to Officer Megure. Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up: "Yes, this is the most powerful evidence. What else do you have to say!"
Mr. Yasui looked confused: "No, officer, this is not mine!"
Maori Kogoro was very proud: "Hahaha, this case is too easy. For a famous detective like me, it's as easy as eating breakfast!"
Conan frowned and gently pulled Chu Ming's sleeve. Ever since Chu Ming called him a hooligan for pulling his pants last time, he would now look carefully at where the corner of Chu Ming's clothes is before reaching out his hand.
"Brother Chu Ming, do you feel something is wrong? So far, my uncle's reasoning is indeed unusually flawless this time, and there is no contradiction at all. But if Mr. Yasui is the murderer, then why would he just put the ball in his bag? This is too stupid!"
Chu Ming whispered mysteriously into Conan's ear: "I already know who the murderer is."
Conan widened his eyes. What? Chu Ming actually saw through it this time!
"The murderer is that Nan Zhishi." Facing Conan's inquiring eyes, Chu Ming continued. "I found a pattern. Every time before Uncle Maori transforms into the sleeping Kogoro, he always identifies suspects who are not the criminal to confuse the murderer's attention. There are three suspects in this case, and Uncle Maori has already identified two of them. According to Mao's law of elimination, the criminal must be Nan Zhishi!"
Conan looked stunned. Huh? Is this how you identify the murderer?

After telling Conan his method of argumentation, Chu Ming walked with him towards the court as he spoke.
"Now that we know that Minami Tomofumi is the murderer, what we need to do now is to find out if there are any details that we haven't noticed before." Chu Ming spoke to Conan like he was educating a child, secretly happy in his heart. It felt so good to educate Conan.
Conan looked helpless as he was dragged away by Chu Ming.
"Found it, look!" Chu Ming nudged Conan, who was wondering what he was thinking.
Conan looked up and saw a blackened golf ball in Chu Ming's hand: "Hey, this is——"
Chu Ming squatted down and held the ball in his palm to show Conan: "This should be a frame-up. Mr. Yasui is not the murderer. The ball should have been hit by Manager Tachibana at the moment of the explosion, so it was not the ball that exploded, but--"
"——club?" Conan suddenly realized.
The two looked back and saw that the police were ready to take Mr. Yasui back to the police station.
Oh no! Just as Conan was about to touch his watch, Chu Ming called out to Officer Megure: "Officer Megure, wait a minute!"
"Well, Fujino brother, what's wrong?"
Chu Ming looked at Maori Kogoro: "Uncle Maori, I know you want to test me, I already fully understand what you mean!"
"Huh?" Kogoro Mouri was confused.
