"So in exchange, I won't report your affairs to the organization, and you don't tell my identity to Kudo Shinichi. He is a righteous detective who can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. Knowing my identity is not a good thing for him."
Haibara Ai and Chu Ming looked at each other for a moment, then lowered their eyes and nodded in agreement.
Just at this time, the doctor came back happily and told Haibara Ai about transferring to Teitan Elementary School, and also told Chu Ming that Conan had woken up.
Chu Ming hurriedly said goodbye to the doctor and rushed to the hospital.
Chapter 39 I'm about to get rid of my identity as Conan
--Hospital--
When Chu Ming rushed to the hospital, Conan was leaning on a soft pillow, and Xiaolan was peeling an apple for him to feed him.
Damn, is this treatment so good?
Chu Ming put the flowers he bought on the road on the cabinet. He originally wanted to buy some fruits, but they were too expensive, so he didn't want to. So Chu Ming just picked a bunch of flowers from the discounted flowers on the roadside.
Seeing Chu Ming coming over, Xiao Lan quickly stood up and said, "Brother Chu Ming, you came at the right time. I have to go to handle the discharge procedures for Conan. This child likes to run around everywhere. Can you please watch him for a while? I will be back soon."
"It's okay, go ahead." Chu Ming agreed, as he happened to have something to talk to Conan about.
Seeing Xiaolan walking away, Chu Ming frowned and asked Conan who was sitting up straight: "What happened to you that day?"
Conan knew that Chu Ming had seen his transformation. From the time he woke up to now, he thought that Chu Ming was not a bad person and had saved him, so he simply told Chu Ming everything.
"You mean you saw two men in black sneaking around in the amusement park, so you followed them secretly and got knocked out and fed poison, and then you became smaller?"
Conan sat on the hospital bed with a serious face: "What I said is true. I heard from them that this is a poison, but it doesn't matter. I already know the antidote. This identity of Conan will disappear from now on. When we meet again, I will be Kudo Shinichi~ Brother Chu Ming, don't tell Xiaolan about this experience. She will be worried."
You are overthinking it. To fulfill this wish, you must be in the second grade of elementary school at least. Of course, according to the scientific timeline, you may not be able to reach the second grade.
Chu Ming nodded: "It's good that you have a clue, but you should also pay attention to your own safety in the future. Don't be so reckless. What if they use guns? What if you are not so lucky and are poisoned to death? Xiaolan will be so sad."
Conan also agreed with Chu Ming's point of view. Xiaolan would be very sad. He was not able to say goodbye to her properly this time. When he recovered, he would definitely have a good chat with her. But Conan completely ignored the advice of not being stubborn. How could the detective's pursuit of justice be called reckless? He was clearly wise and brave.
"Okay, Conan, pack up and it's time to be discharged from the hospital. Your friends are here to visit you too." Just as Chu Ming and Conan were looking at each other in silence, Xiaolan came back.
"Conan, we're here to see you~" A cute little head popped out from beside Xiaolan's legs. It was Ayumi and the other two members of the Junior Detective League.
"Conan, you are too weak. You actually took three days off just because of a cold. It must be fun not to go to school for three days." Yuanta said loudly with envy written all over his face.
Only Mitsuhiko saw Chu Ming standing at the end of the bed because of the angle. He swallowed secretly and said quietly and politely: "Excuse me, we are here to visit Conan."
"Mitsuhiko, what's wrong with you? Your voice suddenly becomes so small - uh..." Yuantai stopped talking halfway because he also saw the man standing in the shadow, staring at him coldly, like a giant beast in the dark.
Feeling his gaze, the three little ones huddled together tremblingly like frightened birds, no longer chattering as they did just now.
Conan, whose head hurt from the noise, looked at Chu Ming with envy. Chu Ming was still very imposing. They all obeyed with just one look. God knew how annoying these kids were.
In fact, Chu Ming was just looking at it with an innocent look on his face.
Ayumi gathered her courage, approached Conan and whispered, "Conan, Xiaolan said that you are well now. Do you want to go to the library with us? You haven't been to school for a few days, and you are the only one who hasn't handed in your book report~"
When she heard that it was about doing homework, Xiaolan readily agreed and urged Conan to go with her. After all, the doctor also said that there was nothing wrong with his body.
When Conan thought about becoming a high school student and no longer having any contact with these kids, he decided to agree to them.
--------
Chu Ming returned home, lay on the bed and let out a comfortable sigh.
The sunset glowed half the sky red. At this time close to dusk, lying on the bed like a salted fish was simply -
"Buzz-"
? What else can the organization do at this late hour? What are you doing? Are you going to let people slack off?
It won't be a piano bar again and again. He is a model worker but he doesn't let others rest. This is too much. I strongly condemn this kind of involutionary behavior.
I opened my phone and surprisingly found no signature.
"Granburch, the Intelligence Department has found that there are drug-related transactions in the Rice Flower Library. Is this a follow-up to the drug incident on Moon Shadow Island? I'll leave it to you to handle it. You can hand the drug dealer over to the police. This will help boost your reputation."
There was no signature, and he just called out his code name, plus the email address. It was clear that this must have been sent by the boss.
Before Chu Ming could reply, the message was automatically deleted and disappeared. As expected of the boss, he did a great job of keeping secrets.
Chu Ming had no choice but to get up from the bed again. It happened that he had a novel that he borrowed from the library last time at home and could return it. He remembered that Conan seemed to be there, so he didn't want to arouse suspicion.
When I arrived at the library, I just saw Inspector Megure's car driving away.
At this time, dusk had already fallen. Chu Ming was about to go in when he was stopped by the director: "Sir, our library is about to close. Please come back tomorrow to borrow books."
Chu Ming took out the novel from his coat pocket: "Then I won't borrow any books today, just return this one and leave."
Director Jinchuan nodded, put down the box he was carrying, took the book and returned it to Chu Ming, then watched Chu Ming walk out the door before he carried the box upstairs.
Chu Ming did not go far after leaving the house, but hid behind the bushes outside the door.
After a while, Director Jinchuan walked out slowly, holding his bag and humming a song. But just as he reached the door, the lights upstairs suddenly turned on and off. With a gloomy face, he rushed back in a hurry.
After Chu Ming waited for him to enter the door, he nimbly climbed up a big tree next to him and jumped from the trunk into the second-floor window.
(⊙o⊙)×4
The four people who were trying hard to flip through the bookshelf looked at Chu Ming who climbed in from the window, and then looked at the tree trunk outside that was at least two meters away from the window, with a look of surprise.
"Brother Chu Ming?"
"Why are you still upstairs so late instead of going home? I saw your reflections on the window downstairs and thought I was seeing things, but it turned out to be you."
"Brother Chu Ming, look!" Conan handed the book in his hand to Chu Ming, "Director Jinchuan is using books to sell drugs!"
Chu Ming's eyes narrowed, his face solemn: "Are you sure it's him?"
"Well, the four of us saw it with our own eyes, and we also heard him say that he killed the missing employee! The body is hidden in the library!" Ayumi added. Although she was a little afraid of Chu Ming, she felt reassured in such a dark environment with the presence of an adult, especially an adult with relatively high fighting skills.
"When the lights upstairs were turned on just now, I saw Director Jinchuan coming back again. I will call Officer Megure first, and then wait here for him."
Several children nodded obediently and leaned against Chu Ming. While Chu Ming was on the phone, Conan figured out the details of the day and wanted to go find Mr. Yutian's body privately, but was forcibly suppressed by the other three.
Until Chu Ming hung up the phone, Yuan Tai hurriedly complained, his eyes sparkling as if waiting for Chu Ming's praise: "Just now Conan wanted to break away from the group and sneak away, but I stopped him!"
Chu Ming also praised him out of respect. Conan watched the interaction between the two speechlessly and told Chu Ming his own reasoning. He suspected that Mr. Tamada was hidden on the elevator by Director Jinchuan.
Chapter 40 is complete? ┐(′-｀)┌
Conan originally wanted to go to the control room upstairs to switch the elevator door to manual control, but he could not withstand Chu Ming's violent dismantling. He used both hands to pry open the elevator door and pressed the elevator up button.
Sure enough, under the dim elevator lights, a corpse with dilated, bloodshot pupils and purple bruises on the throat slowly appeared in front of the people as the elevator rose.
"It's just as I expected!" Conan was a little excited, but as the elevator continued to rise, Director Tsukawa's face appeared in front of everyone.
The children were already frightened by the corpse, and when they saw the person suddenly appear, they all shrank behind Chu Ming and pulled Conan over with him.
Director Jinchuan raised the iron rod in his hand with a ferocious look on his face: "It is indeed a group of little mice that ran in. It is so late and you are not going home. Why don't you let me take you there?"
What the hell, you think you are Gin?
Chu Ming frowned and narrowed his eyes. He dodged the stick that was carrying the sound of wind and kicked Director Jinchuan into the elevator with a loud bang.
This kick made it impossible for the already not-so-young Director Jinchuan to get up for a long time.
However, Chu Ming did not give him the chance to get up. He walked over a few steps, pulled up the curator, and gave him a stab, knocking him down directly.
After seeing Director Jinchuan unconscious, a few real kids came forward tremblingly. Chu Ming saw that the kids looked really scared, but he still educated them well: "Don't be afraid, it's okay. But don't be so reckless next time. If something really happens, what can you kids do? Why don't you find an adult to go with you?" - For example, me.
The children did not get Chu Ming's implied meaning. They stood up obediently and admitted their mistakes. After Inspector Megure arrived, they were sent home.
Inspector Megure took Mr. Tamada's body away, and solved the missing person case that had troubled the Metropolitan Police Department for several days. In addition, a major drug dealer was caught, and Chu Ming's importance suddenly became important in Inspector Megure's heart.
Officer Megure patted Chu Ming's shoulder with great satisfaction and said, "After you graduate, the Metropolitan Police Department welcomes you to join us! You can even be a consultant."
Chu Ming thought, if he entered the Metropolitan Police Department, would he be considered a powerful undercover agent of the organization? This would definitely give him a raise.
Chu Ming was about to go back after sending Conan back to the Maori Detective Agency, but Conan went upstairs for a while and then quietly slipped down again, and jumped onto Chu Ming's motorcycle: "Brother Chu Ming, give me a ride, I want to go find the doctor!"
That won't work. Haibara Ai is still with the doctor. If he finds out, all the emotional value that Haibara Ai gained from scaring him will be wasted.
"Why are you looking for the doctor so late at night? It seems that the doctor is out of town recently."
Conan thought, since Chu Ming knew his true identity anyway, it doesn't matter where he goes: "Brother Chu Ming, can I come to your house? I need to transform, and it's not convenient to stay at Xiaolan's place."
--------
"Drinking can make you an adult?"
"It's true! I'm going to get rid of this identity of Conan soon! I only drank one glass of wine last time, but if I drink a whole bottle this time, it will definitely be OK!" Conan held the bottle and drank it down in gulps.
…………The end of the play (not really)
After a long while, Conan lowered his head to look at his arms and legs, then stared at Chu Ming for a long time, and said fiercely: "I must not have drunk enough!" He held the bottle and prepared to continue.
"If you drink any more, you'll get alcohol poisoning!" Chu Ming snatched the bottle from Conan's hand and stopped him from drinking any more.
Alcohol interfered with his brain. Conan fell on the carpet, looking dejected: "Why——"
"Maybe there was a brief reaction between the virus that caused your cold and some element in the wine, and now you don't have a cold anymore, so you probably can't survive? Or maybe your body has developed antibodies."
Looking at the drunk Conan, Chu Ming pulled him up resignedly: "You can sleep at my place tonight. There is an empty room downstairs. If Xiaolan sees you drinking too much, she will probably beat you up."
--------
After settling Conan, Chu Ming wrote a detailed task report and sent it to his boss. Then he thought about it and had nothing else to do. It had been a long time since he last updated, so he promised to finish it quickly.
Chu Ming hadn't been to the dark web for a long time, so he casually flipped through the comments as usual to see if anyone had come to him.
"Author, you are very brave. You dared to write the name Moroboshi Hideko and pair her with Qin. When you are pointed at by two sniper rifles one day, remember to finish it quickly."
"I came here because of the author's reputation. I have already donated my gift. I hope the author will update soon~"
"I've been chasing him for a long time. I wonder who Kurosawa will end up with - Uozuka, who he spends every day with, or Moroboshi, who turns love into hate? Although I don't like Uozuka very much, I hate Moroboshi even more - after all, he's such a rude and unsympathetic person -"
"I really like the names the author picked, especially Moroboshi Hideko. Please update soon. Did Moroboshi get hit and killed in the end? That would be great if so—"
"What kind of weird name is this? Didn't I come here to see Big Brother's inner distress? Does the author mean something by this name? But it is true that only Uozuka can stand beside Big Brother!"
"Wakita should be changed to his boss, how could he be a butler? I think this setting is unreasonable. But thanks to Wakita's intelligence, otherwise——"
“Good article.”
“Hahahaha, I actually just saw this good article today. I’m following it. I hope the author will update soon.”
Chu Ming opened the document. The plot has been updated to the point where Yoshiko Uozuka takes care of Kurosawa who was injured in a mission. The sweetness between the two hurts Hideko Moroboshi's heart. She spends a lot of money to hire an American killer, James, to drive her car to kill Uozuka, and take advantage of Kurosawa's injury to capture him and put him in a small dark room for fun.
