"QAQ brother, tell me, do you have another little cutie?"
Chu Ming was caught by Vermouth. He looked at Gin pitifully and tried to squeeze out some tears, but found that his eyes were dry after the hangover and he couldn't squeeze any tears out.
Gin suddenly asked, "Who is Kotoko?"
The cup in Vodka's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Chu Ming was as steady as an old dog, not panicking at all, and even smiled.
"It's just a heroine in an anime, so pretty! Very pretty! Big brother, take a look, I'll send you the resources?"
Gin glanced at Vodka suspiciously: "Really?"
Chu Ming glanced at Vodka, who was not calm at all, and yawned: "Vodka must have seen it too, after all, he likes girls like Qinzi the most."
Gin had no interest in this kind of thing and asked Vodka to leave.
Seeing Gin leave, Chu Ming finally let go of his worries and breathed a sigh of relief.
After this incident, Chu Ming felt that he never wanted to drink again.
"It's okay, little Chu Ming, life goes by quickly."
After Gin left, Vermouth said a few words of comfort to him insincerely, then stood up and was about to leave.
Chu Ming grabbed her and said, "Sister, I need your help with something."
"Women's clothes? Sure, sister can belong to you all day~" Vermouth's eyes lit up, "Little Chu Ming will definitely look good in women's clothes."
Chu Ming's face froze: "No! It's like this..."
Chu Ming’s idea was very simple. He appeared in front of Conan again yesterday using the alias of Shotake Yusuke, and Chu Ming did not appear at the same time.
Such a big thing happened, the Beika City building was bombed, Xiaolan was trapped, it really doesn't make sense for Chu Ming not to show up, but Conan hasn't looked for him yet, he must be suspicious.
So Chu Ming must have a reasonable reason, or simply meet Shotake Yusuke with Conan.
There was a gleam in Vermouth's eyes. She had been looking for Kudo Shinichi's whereabouts since she returned to her country. She didn't believe that Kudo Shinichi was killed by the organization.
Now after hearing what Chu Ming said, this kid who suddenly appeared and had a strong reasoning ability was very likely -
And even if she calculated wrongly, it was still nice to be able to get close to her angel.
She readily agreed: "Then tell me everything you've experienced when you met them, so as not to be exposed."
--------
"Xiaolan, I'm so sorry. I had something urgent to do last night and couldn't make it... And Conan, are you feeling better?"
Chu Ming sat on the sofa in the Maori Detective Agency, put down the gift in his hand, and looked apologetic.
"What are you talking about, Brother Chu Ming? I'm fine. I'm not hurt at all. It was all thanks to that gentleman who saved the day and defused the bomb last night."
Xiaolan's face was full of praise and admiration.
Conan's face darkened. What's so good about worshipping a criminal like that? Damn it!
While Xiaolan went to make tea, Chu Ming waved to Conan.
"I arrived late last night, but I found the member of the organization you mentioned before." Chu Ming said mysteriously to Conan.
Conan's eyes lit up: "Yes, the man who defuses bombs that Xiaolan mentioned is him, but I didn't find him after I comforted Xiaolan."
Chu Ming showed a smug smile: "I know, after I saw Xiaolan came out safely yesterday, I followed him. I heard his phone call. Wasn't there a report recently? Seven years ago, the ship that hoarded 1 billion yen in gold bars appeared again, and he accepted the mission to investigate."
Conan's eyes lit up: "That's great, Uncle just happened to receive an invitation to give a speech at Shikishima, we can go with him!"
Chu Ming nodded: "But don't be impulsive. I only followed you for a short distance because I am skilled and brave. You can't just rush in."
Conan nodded excitedly: "Don't worry, Brother Chu Ming, I will definitely be careful."
As soon as we boarded the ship to Shikishima, the assistant on board immediately came up to us and said, "You must be Mr. Maori, my name is Goro Kinoshita. It is such an honor that Mr. Maori agreed to give us a speech this time!"
Conan and Chu Ming used the excuse of strolling around to walk around the entire ship, but they did not see Shotake Yusuke.
"Either he hasn't gone there yet, or he may have already arrived there. If he hasn't gone there yet, remember to hold Uncle Maori back, find him some wine or something, and let him stay on the island for a few days."
Chu Ming gave Conan bad advice.
Conan nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
When it was almost time to get off the boat, Kogoro Mori was ready, because from a distance he saw the village chief of Shikishima waiting for him on the shore with a group of people holding banners.
Kogoro Mori and the village chief were flattering each other, while the village chief's daughter stood with her hands behind her back, squinting her eyes and looking up as if she was leading an inspection.
"Is this uncle who doesn't look like much really that famous? I heard that the famous detective was coming, and I thought it was that handsome big brother."
The little girl's hand was pointing at Chu Ming.
Maori Kogoro's face darkened: "Who is this kid? You——"
The village chief, Mikami Takeo, pretended to be angry: "Xiaoling, don't talk nonsense, it's really rude of you to treat my father's guests like this!"
Maori Kogoro raised his eyebrows and his expression changed immediately: "Ah, so this is your daughter, she is so cute."
Mikami Lingling dodged Kogoro Mouri's hand that was about to touch her head, ran to Conan, circled around him three times, and then hugged him.
"Although that older brother is also very handsome, I still like those younger than me. What's your name?"
Conan was stunned for a moment: "Conan, my name is Edogawa Conan."
"My name is Mikami Lingling. It's very popular nowadays to date someone younger than you. So I'm your girlfriend now!"
Chu Ming took out his phone with ill intentions: "Then let me commemorate this moment for you~"
When Xiaolan saw it, she felt proud and took out her cell phone.
"Yes, Conan is really popular. I took a picture of it and will show it to Conan's mother when she comes back."
???
Before Conan could react, there was a snap.
Another dark history that will be forever frozen.

Chapter 160 He is worthy of being the BOSS "Additional update 2"
Conan was held tightly by Mikami Lingling and could only watch in despair as Xiaolan was holding her cell phone and smiling happily.
I’ve decided. I must never tell Xiaolan that Conan = Kudo Shinichi!
When he becomes Kudo Shinichi, he will say that Conan was taken to the United States by his mother.
At this time, a man came from behind and pushed away the two children who were blocking the way: "Get out of the way. I'm Yasuo Uehara from Toudou Travel Agency. Where is the ghost ship?"
Chu Ming looked at Conan who was pushed back several steps. My goodness, could it be that you are the magnetic field today?
The village chief led a group of people to the salvaged wreck and said, "Let me introduce it to you."
Yasuo Uehara took the lead and climbed up the railing: "No, I like to see it myself."
Conan stood under the boat, looking at the hull in confusion.
The entire hull, except for the rusty bottom, looks exactly the same as before.
Just as he was about to ask, the village chief turned around and invited Kogoro Mori.
"Well, Mr. Maori, we have prepared a sumptuous welcoming banquet, and I hope you can come."
Kogoro Mori immediately abandoned the uninteresting old boat and happily followed the village chief to the hall.
After three rounds of drinks, the village chief rubbed his hands and discussed with Maori Kogoro: "Mr. Maori, now that we have had enough wine and food, I still have something I need to borrow your wisdom on."
I thought Kogoro Mori would speak out loud because of the flattery, but I didn't expect him to put down his wine glass and look serious.
"You want me to find out where the Dragon God sank, right? But even if we find the 1 billion gold bars, they belong to the country and have nothing to do with you, right?"
Village Chief Mikami smiled innocently: "I know, but 10% of the rights and interests here also belong to the village - thank you, Mr. Maori."
Maori Kogoro turned his head away and rejected him coldly: "No, how can I, a world-famous detective, do this kind of treasure hunting work? This is too low my standard!"
Village Chief Mikami said firmly, "Then your reward can be increased to one tenth of the village's income."
Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up, and he counted on his fingers: "One tenth of one billion is one hundred million, and one tenth of one hundred million... My reward this time is ten million!!!"
He took the village chief's outstretched hand with both of his own and shook it up and down: "Please leave this matter to me!"
"Thank you so much! Kinoshita, please explain the situation to Mr. Maori in detail."
"Okay, Mr. Maori, here's what happened. Seven years ago, on a typhoon night..."
Kogoro Mouri listened very seriously, as this concerned his 10 million.
----------------
After the welcoming banquet, Kogoro Mori was surrounded by villagers and went to the community center to give a speech.
Chu Ming took Conan to stroll around the island, looking for Shotake Yusuke.
"Eh—Navy Memorial?"
Chu Ming opened the door curiously: "That armor is so handsome, Conan, look."
Besides some old anchors, knives, models, etc. at the entrance, the only eye-catching thing is the general's armor in the middle.
"Such a large suit of armor should be worth a lot of money, right?" Chu Ming touched his chin.
"Hahaha, you can't sell this. These are all precious cultural assets of our island. More than four hundred years ago, the navy that was defeated in a battle fled to the island. As a result, the residents of the island coveted the enemy's bounty, forced them into a cave on the side of the island and killed them all. Since then, many strange things have happened on the island."
Chu Ming listened with great interest: "What's so strange?"
"A few years ago, a group of professors came to the island. After hearing that the ghosts of the navy often appeared on the island and there were wailing sounds in the cave, they went to the cave without notifying anyone. As a result, a ghost in armor appeared and chased the professors—"
"No, it's not like that. It's ridiculous that people still believe these false rumors in this day and age. Dad clearly said that the professors went back after they found nothing in their investigation!"
Reiko Mikami appeared at the door at some point, and after confronting Kinoshita, she jumped up and down and took Conan's hand.
