How can it be so exaggerated? Conan bit his rice ball indignantly, even though he thought he sang quite well.
Kimura Tatsuya also recovered and took a big sip of wine. Terahara Mari frowned and stopped him: "Okay Tatsuya, drink less, you have a show later."
"Go away, you ugly bastard."
The atmosphere in the box suddenly became tense. The drummer Katsumi Yamada tried to smooth things over, but was mocked back mercilessly by Tatsuya Kimura.
In just a few minutes, Chu Ming and others were stunned, watching Tatsuya Kimura mock everyone he knew in the box, including the KTV owner who came to deliver snacks.
Look at it this way, if you are not the dead, then who is?
You know, in the world of science, except for Conan and the people around him, anyone else who has a tsundere and sharp-tongued personality is doomed to die.
Chapter 72 The Consequences of Using a Large Sized Sleeve
Sure enough, after singing his famous song "Blood Red Venus", Kimura Tatsuya was about to eat a rice ball and leave. But just as he finished eating, his face suddenly turned blue, he held his neck tightly, and fell to the ground and died.
Seeing this sudden change, several people rushed forward in surprise. Shibazaki Mieko even pounced directly over, with her arms hanging in the air, not daring to touch.
"Quick, call an ambulance!"
Chu Ming walked up and touched his neck, taking the opportunity to plunder his magnetic field.
"There's no hope. He's already dead."
"How could this be..." Agent Mari Terahara also walked in from outside the door, looked at Tatsuya Kimura lying on the ground, covered her mouth tightly, and tears slowly flowed down.
Conan sniffed the smell on Kimura Tatsuya's hand and said, "It's potassium cyanide!"
Chu Ming quickly took out his cell phone and called Officer Megure. Kogoro Mouri was not here today. Would Officer Megure suspect that he was the cause of the case?
Chu Ming stared at Conan sinisterly in the corner. It was all because of this god of death. He had innocently taken so many blames for him!
Conan, who was looking for evidence, suddenly felt cold all over. He rubbed his arms with his hands. Was the heating broken? Why did he feel so cold?
Sure enough, when Inspector Megure arrived at the scene, the first thing he did was to search around for suspicious traces.
"Hey, why isn't Brother Maori here?"
Chu Ming walked over as if nothing had happened, pulled Officer Megure aside and whispered to him about the situation at the scene.
"Inspector Megure, the suspects in this case are all here. The deceased is Tatsuya Kimura, the lead singer of the rock band Rex. The one sitting by the door is Go Sumii, the owner of this KTV. He was the one who served the rice balls to the victim.
The girl with a ponytail in front is the band's guitarist Mieko Shibasaki. She was crying while singing just now, so she is quite suspicious.
The man next to him is Katsumi Yamada, the band's drummer. He was once mocked by the deceased. Although I don't think this is enough for him to kill someone, but..."
But this is the world of science, so I’m not surprised by murder.
Chu Ming didn't say this out loud, and continued to report to Officer Megure who had just arrived at the scene:
"The short-haired girl over there is called Mari Terahara, she's the band's manager. To be honest, I think she's the most suspicious because she has the most complicated look in her eyes. Of course, this is just my intuition. To truly solve the case, we still need to look at the evidence."
Officer Megure was diverted from the topic. He nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you, brother Chu Ming, you saved us a lot of time."
While Chu Ming and Inspector Megure were reporting, Conan was able to get the conversation started with his harmless appearance. He also determined that the murderer was Mari Terahara through the personal belongings of the deceased sent by the police. When he was about to tell Chu Ming, he heard the end of his conversation with Inspector Megure.
When Inspector Megure asked the police officers to take everyone to the lobby downstairs for questioning and left the forensic officers here to investigate the scene, Conan pulled Chu Ming.
"Brother Chu Ming, do you also think that the murderer is Mari Terahara? I think so too! And I have found evidence, which is the coats she exchanged with Kimura Tatsuya. The evidence is that there must be Kimura Tatsuya's lighter in the coat she is wearing now! Why don't you go..."
Chu Ming stopped Conan from moving: "Come on, great detective, solve the case you figured out yourself, don't push the blame on me again. Last time you tricked me into going to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a three-hour statement! Don't even think about it this time!"
"Okay, okay--" Conan sighed and had to use his trumpet.
He first went upstairs to put away the portable camera given to him by Dr. Agasa, then hid in a corner and called Inspector Megure, saying that he already knew the murderer and asked Inspector Megure to bring the person to the crime scene.
When Xiaolan heard that Shinichi had returned, she excitedly rushed into the box first. However, she didn't see anyone. There was only a camera on the stage in the huge box.
After that, Xiaolan had no intention of listening to any more reasoning. She just stood by the door and waited for Conan to finish his reasoning. Then Xiaolan hurriedly said goodbye to Chu Ming Yuanzi and others and walked out quickly.
After Chu Ming said goodbye to the extremely enthusiastic Sonoko and agreed to go with her to attend an offline gathering of her magic-interest netizens, he brought Conan down from the rooftop after he had been there for a while.
"Xiao Lan has just left. Should I take you back to Uncle Maori?"
"Well, this case is really a complete tragedy... If they had been more frank, this wouldn't have happened."
"This tells us a truth. As long as you sing well and don't make any poses, you won't be poisoned." Chu Ming saw that Conan was a little sad, so he livened up the atmosphere.
"..." Meeting Conan's speechless gaze, Chu Ming smacked his lips and changed his words.
"Okay, okay, it's to tell us to wash our hands before and after meals, to be hygienic, and to use chopsticks when eating."
"..." After being interrupted twice by Chu Ming, Conan's melancholy mood disappeared.
When they were almost at the Maori Detective Agency, a phone call from Dr. Agasa disrupted their plans: "Shinichi, come back soon. Xiaolan thought you were back and has been waiting at your door. It's snowing outside and she has been standing there for nearly three hours!"
The two quickly changed their route, and on the way Chu Ming still asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Why don't you let Xiaolan know that you are Kudo Shinichi?"
Conan scratched his head: "At first I didn't want to make her worry, and it's such a huge and evil organization. If Xiaolan knew about it, it would be dangerous for her too. Now, I can't tell her..."
He recalled the beautiful scenery he saw when he and Xiaolan took a hot spring bath together last time, and his face turned red.
Chu Ming, who was driving, accidentally saw his expression and said, "Put away that surly expression on your face and think about what to do!"
Conan was a little anxious, especially after the car stopped, the two of them hid in the alley and saw the thin figure in the heavy snow. She blew her breath to warm her hands from time to time, stamped her feet to make her stiff body move, but she just didn't leave the door of Kudo's house.
Chapter 73: Conan's mother gained weight in middle age?
"Don't let down such a passionate girl." Chu Ming looked at Conan's somewhat sad expression and couldn't help but warn him.
"Of course I won't, but what should I do now? I should have known not to use Kudo Shinichi's name..."
Chu Ming looked at the store not far away and asked: "Did you buy her a Christmas present?"
"Of course I bought it. I planned to ask Dr. Agasa to send it to her for me. It's still at his house."
"Go get it. I'll help you control the lights. We'll climb into your second floor from Dr. Agasa's place. Turn on the lights first to coax her in. It's too cold outside. Then I'll turn off the lights. If you have anything to say, go ahead and say it. She's been freezing outside for too long. Her senses should be numb now. She won't be able to tell how tall you are with the lights off."
The two of them took a detour and went straight into Dr. Agasa's house. The two balconies were quite far apart. Chu Ming dragged Conan with one hand, exerted force with his feet, and threw Conan over in the air, then grabbed the balcony railing and flipped over to go in.
Xiaolan, who was rubbing her hands at the door, suddenly saw the light in the house behind her turned on. She pushed the door open in surprise and found that it was not locked.
"Shinichi, is that you? You're back?" She looked around, trying to find the figure she had been thinking about day and night.
'Snap' the surroundings fell into darkness.
Just as she was panicking, a warm hand grabbed her fingers. Her frozen hands had no feeling at all, but she just felt the incomparable warmth of those hands.
"Is that you, Shinichi?"
"Silly boy, you're still waiting outside for so long in such a cold day. Do you want to see me so much?" Kudo Shinichi's words were full of heartache.
"Who wants to see you, you bastard!" Xiaolan's voice was filled with tears.
"To be honest, I'm really happy to meet you..." In this atmosphere, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but reveal the truth.
Xiaolan raised her head in a daze, her eyes filled with tears: "Shinichi——"
The atmosphere was too sentimental. Chu Ming's good night vision allowed him to see both of their red faces. Tsk tsk.
"I'm leaving now. I still have a case that I haven't figured out. See you next time, Lan." There was a barely perceptible reluctance in his words.
"Wait, Shinichi..."
After a while, the lights came on and Xiaolan looked at the gift box on the stairs.
"This is a Christmas gift for you, I hope you like it - Kudo Shinichi"
Xiaolan picked up the gift and opened it, revealing a pair of red gloves.
There were still tears in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
"How is it, does she like it?" Conan rushed up to the second floor while the lights were out. At this moment, the two of them were peeking at Xiaolan's reaction through the gap in the stairs.
Conan was too short to see clearly, so he could only urge Chu Ming to tell him Xiaolan's reaction.
"It seems like she likes it very much. Tsk, Xiaolan is really too kind. She can be coaxed into submission with just a pair of gloves." Chu Ming glanced at Conan. If this happened to him, it would be impossible to solve the problem without thousands of magnetic fields.

"Taken away by his mother?"
When I went to Professor Agasa's house last night, Professor Agasa inadvertently said that Haibara Ai's birthday was in two days, and he wanted to ask Chu Ming and Conan to pick out two gifts.
So Chu Ming got up early and prepared to take the human-shaped Grim Reaper to the mall, hoping that he might be able to find some wild magnets.
As a result, when they just arrived at Maori's house, Xiaolan told Chu Ming somewhat sadly that Conan had just been picked up by his mother this morning.
After saying goodbye to Xiaolan, Chu Ming remembered the couple he accidentally saw entering Dr. Agasa's house on the second floor last night, and he began to understand something.
Yesterday I thought it was Dr. Agasa’s friends in the scientific community, but now it seems that it should be Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko. It turns out that children are born to be played with. These two people tease Conan even more than I do.
Conan flew, the magnetic field flew, and Chu Ming's heart flew with it. Why didn't Professor Agasa call him this time? It was not for the emotional value, but mainly to help Conan realize the consequences of recklessness.
Just after passing a traffic light, Chu Ming was halfway across the road, preparing to go to the breakfast shop across the street to eat something.
A parked car suddenly started and rushed out. Chu Ming was so scared that he took a few steps back. As expected, the world of science is full of dangers. Who is he trying to murder? Is there a magnetic field?
"—— Stop that child quickly!" A voice suddenly rang out, the sound gradually became thinner and thinner. Chu Ming saw the small figure running away, and then looked at the frightened aunt in the car.
This should be Kudo Yukiko, her real voice was even scared out of her mind. Conan is really good, if he hits someone or his mother gets hit, tut tut.
Chu Ming didn't want to eat anymore. He turned around and went home directly. It was such a fun thing, so he should be taken along!
After arriving home, Chu Ming went to the room at the side of the second floor, opened a corner of the curtain and observed secretly.
After a while, Conan's furtive voice appeared at the alley of Dr. Agasa's house. He stuck his head out from time to time to see if Dr. Agasa had returned home. Just as he saw Dr. Agasa and Haibara Ai carrying vegetables home, he excitedly leaned forward to shout, without noticing that a figure was approaching him from behind.
A towel soaked in ether was extended from behind and directly covered his mouth. Conan hurriedly reached out to pull it away, but the strength disparity was too great and he eventually fell to the ground.
Kudo Yukiko was possessed by the spirit of acting. She picked up Conan and laughed a series of villain laughs. Suddenly, someone held a knife against her from behind.
"Let go of your child."
Kudo Yukiko paused her laughter, put down Conan, quickly reached for the gun at her waist and pointed it behind her.
"Are you in the way? Who are you?"
Chu Ming didn't say anything. He chopped at Kudo Yukiko's hand holding the gun and knocked the gun down. He rolled over and quickly dragged Conan and the gun on the ground. He quickly ran out of the alley, pointing the gun at Kudo Yukiko, and shouted to Dr. Agasa at the door to call the police.
Dr. Agasa watched this plot twist and quickly stepped forward and waved his hands: "Wait, wait, Chu Ming, we are all on the same side, don't do anything."
"Our own people?" Chu Ming pretended to be confused.
