"It's Conan and Chu Ming. Miss Maori is here too. So Mr. Maori must be here too! Where is he?"
Xiaolan smiled sheepishly: "Dad didn't come this time, so only a few of us came."
Officer Yokomizo lowered his head in disappointment.
"Nei Nei, Officer Yokomizo, how come what you just said is the same as what you said a year ago?" Conan looked curious.
Officer Yokomizo touched Conan's head. He had a good impression of this child who followed behind Kogoro Mouri. And Chu Ming, Officer Yokomizo also had some understanding of Chu Ming's mouth. Just a few words were enough to break the murderer's defense, and he also accidentally mentioned some evidence, so he also wanted to see if he could let Chu Ming help him analyze it.
"A year ago, a girl with long brown hair was murdered in this area. She was also severely injured in the abdomen. Now another case has occurred..."
"So what's the estimated time of death?"
Officer Yokomizo flipped through his notebook and said, "It was probably around eight or nine o'clock..."
Conan was startled and frowned: "Wasn't that when we passed the grove yesterday?"
Officer Yokomizo didn't expect to have an unexpected gain: "Do you have any clues?"
Conan shook his head solemnly, while Chu Ming seemed to be thinking about something and muttered to himself.
"I do have a guess, Conan, do you think it could be Mr. Daoxie?"
"Mr. Daoxie, who is that?" Officer Yokomizo looked confused.
Chu Ming said solemnly: "Just now on the beach, Yuanzi met a man who chatted with her. I originally thought that the Taoist Association might be a simple scumbag, but he had been holding a camera before. When we left here last night, Yuanzi happened to be shaking the camera in her hand. Could it be that he thought we took some evidence of him?"
Conan frowned: "But this reason is a bit far-fetched."
Chu Ming looked at Conan's hair whorls and sighed in his heart, "Why don't you understand science?" In this world, no matter how outrageous the reason is, it is not far-fetched.
"It's okay. Let's not bother Officer Yokomizo for now. Since I got rid of him today, if he is really the murderer, he might ask around about our residence today and then steal the camera at night. Let's ambush him in advance..."
--------------
"This is what happened. Because we are few in number, Conan is still a child, and Sonoko is not very skilled, we cannot seek help from the police before we are sure whether Mr. Dokkyo is the murderer. I wonder if Mr. Kyogoku is willing to..."
Chu Ming sat in front of Kyogoku Makoto and told him his battle plan.
"Why are you looking for me?" Kyogoku Makoto looked cold and sat on the chair.
"Because you are good at fighting, you kicked the young master." Chu Ming took a sip of water, speechless. I gave you the chance to pursue my wife, whether you want it or not, you just followed her secretly. Now I give you the chance to be a hero and save the beauty, and you are still pretending to be cool?
"If Mr. Kyogoku doesn't want to, then forget it. I—"
"I do." Seeing that Chu Ming was about to say something he didn't want to hear, Kyogoku Makoto quickly agreed.
"Okay, then I'll take everyone out. The murderer will definitely think that he has an opportunity. Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Kyogoku."
It was drizzling outside, and Chu Ming deliberately invited a few people to go out and play.
Before leaving, he exchanged glances with Kyogoku Makoto.
After a while, the four people who were wandering outside with umbrellas heard banging sounds coming from the garden room upstairs.
They went back quickly, and sure enough, Sonoko's room had been turned to pieces, and Dokkie Masahiko was lying on the ground with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, unable to get up, and the knife in his hand had fallen not far away.
But Kyogoku Makoto, his face wasn't red, he wasn't out of breath, he was tall and straight, and he looked righteous.
Sonoko looked at Kyogoku Makoto and suddenly pushed Xiaolan: "I suddenly found that he is quite handsome too."
Kyogoku Makoto's face also turned red. He looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but didn't dare look at Sonoko.
Officer Yokomizo arrived quickly. The police found the blood of the woman who was killed last night in the knife in Dokyo Masahiko's hand and immediately took the man away.
Seeing that Kyogoku Makoto seemed to be interested in Sonoko, Xiaolan quickly pushed Sonoko and encouraged her to go ahead bravely.
Sonoko walked forward hesitantly, but before she could say anything, Kyogoku Makoto suddenly spoke.
"Maybe you didn't know who I was before, but I've been following you for a long time. I once saw you at a karate competition. You cheered for your friend desperately, like a beam of passionate and brilliant light shining in my heart. I..."
Yuanzi's face turned red again. She was silent for a long time and didn't say a word. She didn't have any of the ambition and passion she had when she was chasing a man with such fierce words before.
Chu Ming looked at the two people with red faces for a long time without saying anything. Okay, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be no accidents in the relationship between these two people.
Chapter 168 Additional update 3
After going out for three days, Chu Ming was forced to eat a few bowls of dog food and returned home in shame.
"Ugh--"
"well----"
"well------"
Chu Ming lay on the sofa, making noises in an attempt to attract the attention of Gin or Vermouth.
But his sighs became louder and longer each time, but the two people simply turned a deaf ear to him and pretended not to hear him.
He huddled up to Vermouth like a maggot and shook her hard with his head.
"Sister, I'm bored~"
Vermouth had a blank expression on her face as she continued to look calmly at the information in her hand.
???
Chu Ming changed side, arched his body, and moved to Gin's hand, shaking Gin with his head.
"Brother, I'm bored~"
Gin picked him up and threw him over to the separate sofa.
Chu Ming, who was suddenly forced to take a short flight and was knocked dizzy, shook his head with a look of resentment on his face.
Since neither of these two big guys is willing to accompany me, then——
Chu Ming turned his persecutory gaze to Vodka.
Vodka picked up the kettle on the table and ran out at a speed that was totally inconsistent with his body size.
"Ugh--"
Chu Ming started a new round of noise source.
"Speak." Gin said briefly.
"I've been talking all the time. I'm so bored~~~" Chu Ming complained in a long voice.
Gin gave Chu Ming a warning look, and then he realized that Gin was on the phone...
I would rather answer the phone than answer him QAQ
What happened to the atmosphere of this organization! Where is the friendship and mutual assistance among colleagues?
"It's all trash."
Gin hung up the phone and suddenly looked at Chu Ming, "Are you bored?"
"Yeah." Chu Ming looked at Gin warily, "But Boss, give me a day off these two days, I don't have to do the mission! And you can't beat me!"
Indeed, because Chu Ming has been working diligently to provide large sums of money to the organization, the BOSS specially gave Chu Ming a privilege, allowing him to make any wish he wants.
But this BOSS is not to be trifled with. He said he could do whatever he wanted, but he didn't want him to be the leader of the action team, and he didn't want him to order Gin not to beat him up in the future, and he didn't want him to beat Gin up so that Gin wouldn't fight back, and he didn't want Gin to listen to music all day long...
Anyway, the boss just shook his head no matter what I said, which made me very angry.
In the end, Chu Ming had no choice but to hope that he could rest for a few more days in front of Gin, and that Gin would not attack him during the rest time.
So do you think Chu Ming is really bored and has no tasks to do? No, he just wants to show off in front of two hard-working people.
Because Gin couldn't attack him during these two days, Chu Ming became visibly more arrogant.
Gin closed his eyes, thinking out of sight, out of mind: "It was Potter. He said you owed him a favor and he's here to ask for it."
???
Chu Ming jumped up: "Who owes him a favor? He's dreaming!"
Taking out his cell phone, Chu Ming tapped a few numbers.
As soon as the call was connected, Chu Ming took the initiative before Porter could speak.
"Who owes you a favor? Are you still asleep?"
Potter's low but indescribably charming voice came from the receiver.
"On the day of the physical examination, you took away a quarter of the drug storage of the research team. Last time, you—"
Chu Ming quickly interrupted him: "What's the point of talking about such old things? You know, only those old ladies with nothing to do would talk about such old things."
"You're talking nonsense! If you hadn't taken all the muscle relaxants from us last time, there wouldn't be any mistakes this time! One of the human experiment materials got away!"
Porter couldn't maintain his image and couldn't help cursing.
"Oh, really? Come on then—"
Chu Ming was about to hang up the phone immediately. What a joke. How could this have anything to do with him? This was clearly a waste of the research team. How could they escape after catching them?
"Wait - let's make a deal."
Seeing that Granburch was about to hang up the phone, Porter became a little anxious.
He is now the head of the scientific research team, and there were no mistakes during the years Shirley was there. Not long after he took office, the experimental subject escaped. If he can't catch up or is caught by the police, he will probably be shot by Gin.
"Why didn't you say that earlier? You have to ask me for a favor. Tsk, I, Granburch, never owe anyone a favor. Even if I do, I usually kill the creditor on the spot~"
Porter was shocked by Chu Ming's smiling but murderous words, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
"Then how about this, you help me capture the man or just kill him, and you can get any medicine you want from now on."
Chu Ming rolled his eyes, remembering that Potter couldn't see: "I can get whatever I want, how can this be used as a condition?"
"So what do you want?" Potter gritted his teeth, ready to bleed heavily.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Chu Ming thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything that Porter could do. "Well, I can help you find the person, but you have to promise me three things. I'll tell you when I think of it later."
"What if you ask for an exorbitant price in the future?" Porter was worried.
"You can refuse me - oh, I mean now, you can ask someone else for help~" Chu Ming was half lying on the sofa, not taking it to heart at all.
On the other side, Porter was so angry that he wanted to destroy the laboratory. Hadn't he tried to find external members?
But he is not a useful peripheral member. He has been assigned the task but there has been no movement for several days.
If he hadn't been unable to hide it, he wouldn't have gone to look for Gin, but there were few idle people in the action team, except Granburch who was on vacation.
