"You deserve it? But you are just a child, what can you do..."
Chu Ming looked proud and said, "Humph, you are so ignorant, aren't you, famous detective? Have you heard of the story of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs? How can you know the effect of the medicine you made if you don't taste it yourself?"
Conan sighed in horror: "Tasting poison? Are the people in your organization so cruel to themselves?"
"Hehe, are you scared? I...!" Before Chu Ming could finish his words, Huibara Ai poked Chu Ming hard in the blind spot - too much nonsense, I didn't say there would be this part before, don't secretly add drama to yourself and discredit yourself, what kind of image is this of a scientific research freak!
Chu Ming changed the subject, full of murderous intent: "--You'd better take care of yourself. After all, if they take you away, no one around you will survive. The people from the organization should be at the doctor's house next door to yours by now..."
Conan was horrified and took out his mobile phone to call the doctor, but there was no answer.
He was about to run back, but was blocked by Chu Ming. Chu Ming turned his head to avoid Conan's anesthetic needle. Oh my god, this is so unsportsmanlike, little detective. You can't afford to play sneak attack!
Chu Ming picked up Conan and walked out. He struggled desperately and saw a passerby walking by and shouted for help: "Help me, he is a human trafficker and he wants to catch me!!!"
Passersby gathered around with suspicious faces. Chu Ming took out his mobile phone to show everyone the photos and group photos he took, and explained: "My cousin ran away from home, and I just caught him. He was so naughty that he still doesn't want to go back..."
Huihara Ai also had a sad face: "Edogawa...Brother, you have to be obedient. Uncle Maori and Sister Xiaolan are still waiting for us to go home."
Haibara Ai called out "brother" very reluctantly, but seeing the photo and a cute little girl as witness, and Conan understanding Haibara's threat, she shut up obediently. Passersby also thought that this was a child playing a prank, and they dispersed while condemning Conan.
Conan watched Chu Ming carrying him to Dr. Agasa's house, and said as he walked: "Who told you to treat me, Vodka, as a friend? In order to repay your kindness, I will take you to see what Dr. Agasa looks like now~"
Conan hung on Chu Ming's hand with despair, his arms and legs hanging down, his head lowered. I'm sorry, Dr. Agasa, it's all my fault... and Ran, Uncle Maori...
The lights in Dr. Agasa's house were bright. When Haibara Ai came to the door, she had to pretend again: "It seems that the people in the organization have completed their mission and evacuated. Let's go in and take a look."
Entering the room, Conan looked up sadly: "Doctor..."
"Well, new--er, Conan, hahahaha, Mr. Chu Ming is here too. How about Ai, it feels good to go to school, right?"
???
Conan was confused: "Doctor, are you okay? Are you lying to me???"
Chu Ming threw Conan, who had been in his arms all the way, onto the sofa, smiling: "Is it exciting, Conan?"
Conan Half Moon Eyes: "Hey! Is it fun to tease children?"
Chu Ming rubbed Conan's head and said, "To remind you not to be reckless. If the organization that made the counterfeit money is really the one that harmed you, then your action of rushing up to the door and asking questions will not only kill you, but everyone around you. Do you understand?"
Conan was also a little scared: "I know... but you can't tease me like this, and the doctor didn't even answer the phone. Where did you find this girl? How did you tell her my identity?"
Dr. Agasa was stunned for a moment: "We? So Mr. Chu Ming also knows?"
"Yeah, a famous detective pulled me and wouldn't let me go before he transformed←_←"
Dr. Agasa chuckled: "I see, Chu Ming met Xiao Ai on the road a few nights ago. She said she was my relative, so Chu Ming sent her here."
Chu Ming continued, "I just found out about this too. Xiao Ai said that those black-clad accomplices also gave her the same drug as you, and she also became smaller."
Dr. Agasa touched his bald head and said, "Ai said she would tell you herself. Why didn't she tell you just now?"
"Since she is an accomplice of those men in black! Why do you still take her in!!!" Conan looked angry.
Huihara Ai took out a book and hid her sadness while reading: "I wanted to go to your house. You probably don't know that the organization has confirmed the death of those who used the drug before, and only you are missing. The organization has sent people to your house to confirm several times. We returned empty-handed the first time, and as for the second time, I found that all your childhood clothes were gone. Considering the experience of mice becoming smaller during the experiment, I made a deduction..."
"...You must have turned into a child like the little white mouse. Thank me, Detective. I have changed your "unknown" to "death". However, if the organization knew that your death was confirmed by a traitor like me, they might re-investigate..."
——Not necessarily. I guess Gin doesn't even remember who Kudo Shinichi is if he really runs abroad under an assumed name instead of gathering the police and the FBI to carry out operations every few days.
Chapter 50 It’s actually him
"…Traitor?" Conan heard a word that concerned him.
"Yes, they took out this experimental drug and gave it to people without permission. I didn't agree with it at first, but I couldn't do anything about it."
Huihara Ai turned a page of the magazine in her hand, and forced herself to suppress her trembling hands. She spoke in a calmer tone: "But the biggest reason is that they killed my sister... For this reason, I stopped drug research. This behavior caused the organization to detain me in the laboratory. I took the medicine with the intention of dying, but unexpectedly returned to my childhood. I escaped from the garbage outlet. When I had nowhere to go, I thought of you, and I happened to meet Fujino Chuming. I lied to him and said that I was your relative next door and asked her to send me here. I think we are in the same situation now, so we should be able to empathize with each other-"
Conan was so angry that he was shaking. From his perspective, he could not sympathize with Haibara Ai at all. He was born in the light and pursued justice. He was born in a different position from Shirley, who struggled in darkness. All mistakes are based on choices, but Shirley can't choose at all.
"What are you talking about!! Who can empathize with you! You are a guy who invented a murderous drug!!!! Do you know how many people have been killed by the drug you invented!"
Shirley's fingers holding the book subconsciously tightened the pages and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Chu Ming did not speak. If he wanted to persuade, he could have said many things. Should the person who was shot blame the inventor of the gun? But he did not speak, but once again reaffirmed his idea of covering his vest.
Even Conan couldn't accept that Shirley indirectly harmed others. If he really knew that he was the real deal, their friendship would really come to an end.
——Organization members don’t need friends, but he Chu Ming needs a magnetic field generator!
Dr. Agasa came over to smooth things over: "Don't be angry, Shinichi. Think about it, this drug was invented by her, so wouldn't it be easy for her to make an antidote?"
Conan was a little tempted, but Huiyuan Ai quickly broke his fantasy: "It's useless. The drug information is all in the research institute. There is such a huge amount of drug data, how can I remember it all."
"Where is the research institute?"
Haibara Ai walked to the bookshelf, took out a newspaper from a few days ago, and unfolded it directly.
"They never leave any evidence behind when they do anything. After confirming that I, a traitor, have escaped, all the strongholds I know of will be abandoned. You see—"
Conan stared at the report in the newspaper about the pharmaceutical company being burned down, his eyes full of resentment.
"If the organization continues to use poison on such a large scale, there may be more exceptions like us. Then the organization will find me based on my childhood photos. What do you think, detective? Do you want to get rid of this troublesome task of mine——"
Chu Ming said in Chinese: "The lips and teeth are interdependent."
Conan nodded. Having learned hundreds of millions of knowledge and skills from his father in Hawaii, Conan could also understand Chinese: "Yes, once you are discovered, I will not be immune, so even if it is to protect myself, I can't drive you out."
------------
"Brother, we have found the trace of the last disk. I investigated all the communication records of that research institute. Three years ago, Shirley sent several disks to her sister. It is very likely that they were leaked at that time." Vodka stood behind Gin and reported respectfully.
Gin tilted his head and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box: "Where is the disk now?"
"It was handed over by Akemi Miyano to Professor Hirota Masami of Nanyang University. Brother, let Granburch take this task?" Vodka secretly wanted to find something for Chu Ming to do. After all, he was the only one who was bored now.
"No, let's go." Gin thought of the 26 tasks he had issued before and the subsequent task reports that gave him a headache.
"But brother, Rum will come to you later to discuss the details of the plan to assassinate Shigehiko Tsuguchi in a month..."
"Tsk." Gin took out his cell phone and sent a message to Chu Ming. It was time to recruit people. Too many rats had been killed recently and there were not enough manpower.
----------
The phone vibrated twice. Chu Ming glanced at Conan, who was excitedly preparing to go to Professor Akemi Miyano's house to get the disk, and turned on the phone.
"Go to the home of Professor Masami Hirota of Nanyang University to retrieve the drug data disk. I'll have Vodka send you the address. - Gin"
Hiss——Chu Ming glanced at the doctor who was calling to ask for the address, and said hello to Conan: "Conan, I have some urgent matters to deal with at the company, so I won't go with you for the time being."
Conan's entire attention was now focused on the data on drugs that might help him recover. He nodded casually upon hearing this. Only Haibara Ai gave him a questioning look. Chu Ming shook his head, indicating that it was not the organization's business.
Haibara Ai never thought that Chu Ming would lie to her, and she felt a little relieved and continued to listen to the doctor's phone call.
After Chu Ming went out, he was going to ride his motorcycle straight home, but he suddenly remembered that he had left his motorcycle in front of the gate of Teitan Elementary School. Later, he followed Conan and the others everywhere and forgot to ride it back.
Then you can’t use your face to hail a taxi, maybe Conan will find the clues one day.
He put on the organization's special face-pinching mask in a blind spot and took a taxi directly to the address where Vodka was sent, which was still in Shizuoka——
Chu Ming frowned. It seemed that he had to move faster and not let them arrive first.
——However, I don’t know if it was an obstruction of the world’s will, but the taxi Chu Ming was riding in suddenly had a flat tire halfway through the journey and could no longer drive.
Chu Ming paid the fee reluctantly and got off the car, notifying the outside members to pick him up.
Chu Ming was squatting on the side of the road bored, when a black car came speeding over. The window rolled down, revealing Vodka's face.
"? Why is it you?" Chu Ming was a little surprised. He was clearly just calling the peripheral members.
"The sniper mission in a month is related to the future development direction of the organization. The organization has been busy recently, and you need to drive faster, so the eldest brother sent me your disguise photo and asked me to come over."
Chu Ming glanced at the somewhat aggrieved Vodka and handed him the number: "Call him and see if he is at home. It would be inappropriate if my voice is heard."
Vodka pretended to be an insurance salesman and called, but no one answered. It seemed that the call was over. Chu Ming was a little anxious and kept urging Vodka to drive faster.
When he arrived downstairs of Professor Hirota, Chu Ming looked around and saw the lights of Dr. Agasa's Beetle from afar. He exhaled lightly, leaving the vodka in the car, climbed up from the side of the building, and broke through the glass of the study to get in.
Entering the room, Chu Ming ignored the person who was pressed under the bookshelf. After absorbing the magnetic field, Chu Ming put on gloves and began to search, collecting all the magnetic disks at the crime scene and taking them away.
There was a knock on the door, and Chu Ming quickened his pace, preparing to return through the window.
"Who!!" Conan saw a man in black carrying a few disks out of the window near the door. With the moonlight outside the window, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was the man who saved him at the Izu Hotel last time!
——He is actually a member of the Black Organization!
Chapter 51 I want to find out the truth and clear Chu Ming's name
Chu Ming climbed down from the window quickly, looked up, and saw Conan and Dr. Agasa's heads appeared in front of the broken window.
Conan was holding a launcher and wanted to take the opportunity to touch Chu Ming, but was stopped by Huihara Ai behind him: "Are you crazy? This is a member of the organization. Once discovered, all of us here will die!"
Conan didn't give up and leaned over to the window again, but there was no trace of the man in black.
Chu Ming saw the head in the window retracted and came out from the shadows. He just happened to see Shirakura Yang, the real murderer of Hirota Masami, getting out of the car. Chu Ming then remembered that the floppy disk seemed to have been taken away by him.
Chu Ming hid himself and strangled Bai Cangyang's neck from behind, suffocating him and making him unconscious. He took out the car keys from him. He didn't know which one the organization wanted, so he simply took out all the magnetic disks and put them on his body. After thinking for a while, he stuffed Bai Cangyang, who was lying on the ground, into Vodka's car and ignored Vodka's inquiring look.
"Let's go, mission accomplished, back to base."
--------
In front of the base gate, Vodka stopped Chu Ming and said, "Brother is discussing something with Rum now. The boss is also here. Don't go in and disturb him."
"..." Chu Ming glanced at Vodka, "How do you know that Big Brother hasn't finished the discussion? Don't spread false imperial orders. Keep an eye on this man."
Chu Ming planned to test the boss and Rum's tolerance limit for him. As a code member, Chu Ming felt that he was just a new core member, but no matter whether it was the boss, Rum or Gin, they were always somewhat indulgent towards him. This was not like treating an ordinary talented second-generation member.
Ignoring Vodka's words of dissuasion, Chu Ming stretched out his hand in the look of horror mixed with a hint of admiration, regardless of the voices inside.
Knocked on the door.
"Brother, can I come in~"
The sound in the room stopped abruptly. After waiting for a while, it seemed that the boss had signaled him, and Gin said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Inside the room, Gin sat on a chair, facing the display screen in front of him. Wow, the high-level meeting of the brewery turned out to be a video conference - the level of the winery dropped instantly.
"Crash--" Chu Ming poured all the disks he had found from Hirota Masami and Shirakura Yang in front of Gin, and the pieces covered the entire table.
?
Gin nodded at a pile of disks. "Didn't I ask you to bring back the one Shirley sent? So many?"
