Officer Megure frowned: "It's a temporary decision."
Then there should be no suspicion.
He turned around and continued to ask about the time of the incident. Mr. Ide, who was holding a camera, gave the correct time: "12:44."
He also produced photos taken with his own camera as evidence.
Conan came over to take a look at the photo and found something wrong: "Oh, this is so strange. These two older brothers seemed to be looking at the back before the body appeared. What are they looking at?"
Inspector Megure looked at the photo carefully and sure enough, the camera showed that Chu Ming and Amuro Toru were already looking back before 12:44.
"Mr. Shochiku, Mr. Amuro! Please explain!"
"Because I felt a chill behind me, I turned around to take a look. At that time, there was a person hanging something up from behind me. I even called out to Toru Amuro to come and see what it was."
"What! Not suicide?" Officer Megure was a little surprised.
"No, now it seems that the man hanging things looks a bit like Mr. Gu Qiao." Chu Ming lazily slumped in the chair, "He must have killed Mr. Zhang Tian and then hung him up. I wonder what method he used to prevent the body from appearing in advance."
Inspector Megure asked, "What method did you use?"
"That's your job as police officers. I just told you what I saw. Isn't it your job to find evidence and methods?"
Chu Ming leaned on the chair, snapping his fingers absentmindedly. In the flickering light and shadow, he looked aloof and cold, and even the usual smile on his face disappeared.
Chapter 138 Does he look like Brother Chu Ming?
Inspector Megure blushed: "Yes, yes, you are right——"
Gu Qiao was full of anger: "What do you mean? I stayed in the projection room the whole time and didn't come out. Someone can testify to this! You can't just identify me for no reason and you decide I'm the murderer, right? Then I still say he is the murderer!"
"But Mr. Ide also filmed it. From the beginning of the movie until the black shadow appeared during the screening, my companions and I have been sitting here without moving. What? I killed people with my mind?" Chu Ming said sarcastically, "If you want to pull me down, please find someone else."
Conan frowned. The tone of voice of this Shotake Yusuke sounded so familiar.
Very similar to——Brother Chu Ming!!
No, no, no, it won’t.
Conan was inexplicably flustered. It was impossible. If Brother Chu Ming was one of theirs, then my and Huibara's identities should have been exposed long ago.
But... once you have doubts about something, the more you look at it, the more similar it becomes.
Conan's sudden restlessness was noticed by Huihara Ai, who tugged at Conan's clothes: "What's wrong?"
"Do you think that the man named Shotake Yusuke is similar to..."
Conan uttered a name with difficulty: "Does it look like Chu Ming brother?"
After saying this, Conan sat down beside him as if he was deflated: "The way he speaks is really like--"
Huiyuan Ai shook her head and said firmly: "He can't be Chu Ming's."
She knew that Chu Ming was a peripheral member and there was no need for him to use a second face to act in the organization.
Conan's thoughts were completely disrupted by Haibara Ai's certain judgment.
"Is it really not the same? Am I being too suspicious?" Conan fell into deep thought.
"Don't panic just because you see people from the organization. It's hard for people with normal thinking to imagine that we will become smaller. Just don't be too radical in solving the case this time." Huibara Ai has calmed herself down.
"Well, yes, and now we know who the murderer is. All we have to do is find evidence." Conan looked determined.
"Officer, since we have no motive and are sure there are no suspects, can we leave now?"
Toru Amuro asked loudly. He was really worried about letting Chu Ming stay here all the time, for fear that he would suddenly go crazy and kill everyone at the scene.
When Conan heard Amuro Toru propose to leave, he stood up and wanted to say something to stop them, but was held back by Huibara Ai: "Don't be impulsive! And don't even think about putting a tracker. There are so few people here. Once we're discovered, everyone here will die!!"
Since it was confirmed that Toru Amuro and Chu Ming had no chance to commit the crime, Inspector Megure had no reason to keep stopping the two of them. Chu Ming walked out leisurely with Toru Amuro under Conan's anxious eyes.
"Hey, Bourbon, it's not that I didn't give you a chance. You said you didn't contribute anything this time. Forget it. You call me brother, so I can't treat you unfairly. How about this? You can write the mission report this time. Give it to me tonight."
Chu Ming patted Amuro Toru's shoulder, generously assigned his own task to him, and turned around to leave.
Toru Amuro looked at his back speechlessly. Chu Ming's words just now reminded him of the novel he had been following before.
He has been following a novel written by an author on the dark web, starting from the first book. After all, the author's first book was very much to his liking.
The love, hatred and vengeance surrounding the number one killer, especially that Moroboshi Hideko, almost made him laugh until he collapsed on the bed.
But the author's second article wiped out his original appreciation. What kind of shit was that?
Especially the opening gave him a blow, Amuro Nami, is pregnant? And is she pregnant with Akai Shuichi's child? ?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Although she later clarified that her pregnancy was fake, she pointed out that she and Shuichi Akai sneaked into the winery for the core formula.
Does this author know something?
In addition to the few people he was familiar with, a new name appeared, Fujino Ran.
As far as he knew, there were not many people in the organization with the code name "Lan".
Ireland, Tequila, and Glenburch.
Judging from what Granburch just said, he must have read this novel!
As for the surname, the author should have used the real surname. There is a high possibility that Granburch's surname is Fujino!
He also mentioned before that Shotake Yusuke was his fake identity!
From this, it can be seen that the author must have a high status in the organization. After all, he knows the surnames of so many members. Could he be from the intelligence group?
Last time when I was in the intelligence team, I heard Rum asking someone to check the background to find the IP address of this author. It seems that he will know who this damn author is soon!
When he catches this author——
On the other side, Chu Ming left the mission report to Toru Amuro, and returned to the base with a stack of real estate information without any worries.
"There are six properties in total. I took a look when I came back just now. There is one in the center of Beika Town, one on the edge of Haido Town, and four factories in the suburbs. I hacked into the Metropolitan Police Department's information database and found that there is no registration record for these properties, so they can be used directly."
Gin took the information and looked through it carefully: "Where is the intermediary?"
"He's dead. I didn't have the chance to do anything. He killed him out of revenge. I brought all the information he had with him. I also went into his house and looked through it. There was no information left for archiving."
Gin nodded. This was one of the reasons why he did not kill Chu Ming even though he repeatedly tested his bottom line.
His task completion rate is 100%, and he is basically thorough, leaving no clues and not missing any details.
What a pity, why isn't he a mute?
Chu Ming felt a chill on his back for no apparent reason. He looked at Gin in confusion, "Brother, are you planning to do something bad to me? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with your eyes?"
"Hmph." Gin lowered his eyes.
??? He didn't refute it, nor did he want to drag him to the training ground? ?
Chu Ming took a few steps back: "Am I right? Big brother, you——"
"Okay, shut up. Potter asked me before if you had been to the institute a few days ago. He has something to ask you, so go find him yourself."
"Potter? If I don't go, he must want to get revenge on me! It was Bourbon's face that I used last time, how did he know it was mine?"
Gin paused holding his cigarette: "What did you do again?"
"I didn't do anything. I just used Bourbon's face to plunder - no, I took some of their newly developed drugs. I only took 2/3 of the amount. They didn't need it anyway, and I was helping them test the efficacy of the drugs. It's not scientific. How did he know it was me pretending to be him?"
"…Because Bourbon is from the intelligence team, he doesn't have permission to enter the drug storage room."
"So that's how it is. Then next time I'll disguise myself as..." Chu Ming's eyes quickly swept across Gin and met Gin's murderous eyes.
"Who are you disguising yourself as?"
"Uh, Vermouth!" Chu Ming quickly changed his words.
"Oh, really? Do you want your sister to teach you?" A smiling voice came from behind.
Chu Ming was stunned for a rare moment. Did he have some debuff that would make his secret plotting heard?
Chapter 139 Something is very wrong
Chu Ming, who escaped from Vermouth's clutches by selling his body, made a prompt decision and prepared to go home.
As for Potter looking for him? Who was that? He didn't know, didn't know, and didn't know.
As a result, on the way back, I received a call from Conan.
"Movie theater? Are you going there now? No problem, I'm shopping. Okay, wait for me."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Ming stood on the side of the road with a frown.
Something is wrong, very wrong.
Conan would not call him over in the middle of a case for no reason, unless... he became suspicious again.
Did he just see his own Shotake Yusuke's alias? Or was it something else?
Chu Ming made a prompt decision and found a public toilet to go in. Fortunately, he was used to putting a few sets of clothes in his backpack as a backup.
After changing out of his black windbreaker, Chu Ming removed his disguise and put on a set of sportswear.
"What's wrong, Conan? Why are you calling me here in a hurry? Is there something wrong?" Chu Ming walked into the cinema with brisk steps.
"Brother Chu Ming, where did you go today?" Conan tilted his head and acted cute.
Chu Ming laughed, pinched Conan's face, and whispered: "Every time you ask a criminal, you use this cute tone. What? Did I commit a crime?"
Conan blushed. He was used to acting cute when he saw something suspicious to lower other people's vigilance, but he forgot that Chu Ming knew he was Kudo Shinichi.
"Brother Chu Ming, we just ran into someone from the Black Organization. They were the same two we met before. One is codenamed Bourbon, and I don't know what the other one is codenamed, but his name is Shotake Yusuke."
Chu Ming's eyes became serious: "You and Xiao Ai didn't attract their attention, did you?"
"No." Conan kept staring at Chu Ming, but he didn't see any flaws. "Brother Chu Ming, his tone of voice is similar to yours."
"I was wondering why you were so strange today. Do you suspect it was me?" Chu Ming squatted down and looked at Conan. "Then call me next time you see him? I was watching a street performance in the commercial street today. The surveillance camera should be able to capture me. I'll take you to the mall to check the surveillance camera?"
Anyway, all monitoring has been handled (〃'▽'〃)
Hearing Chu Ming confidently prove himself, Conan felt a little embarrassed: "I just--"
Chu Ming stood up and rubbed his head, then lowered his head and blinked at him: "You are just having routine suspicions, I understand."
