Lafitte glanced at the famous detective and was a little bit unconvinced: "This reasoning..."
On the other side, Chu Ming was already clapping his hands: "As expected of an uncle, are you using the method of elimination again? Xiaolan, call the police quickly, what the uncle means is that this is definitely not an accident!"
Lafitte turned his head suddenly and looked at Chu Ming, who also had a serious expression on his face. Had he been in the United States for too long and his brain circuits were no longer in sync with those of domestic detectives?
Is it popular to eliminate reasoning these days? What kind of strange approach is this?
Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then she took out her cell phone and called the police.
Not long after, Officer Yokomizo arrived at the scene with his men: "Hahaha, Mr. Maori, long time no see. Can I listen to Mr. Maori's reasoning again today?"
"Hahaha, no, no..." Kogoro Mouri touched his head and pretended to be humble, but in fact he was really flattered.
Chu Ming and Lafitte stood at the back of the crowd. It had to be said that both of them were so good-looking that even though they were standing at the edge, people would turn around and look at them from time to time.
After a while, Officer Yokomizo, who had just finished chatting with Maori Kogoro, came over quietly and asked, "Mr. Chu Ming, who do you think the murderer is this time?"
Looking at Officer Yokomizo with his thick eyebrows, big eyes and honest face, you are playing two-timing!
First you praise Kogoro Mori, and then you come to me to solve the case. You are such a good balancer.
"I think there's something wrong with that waiter." Chu Ming pointed at Katsuro Hisashi who had been following Kogoro Mouri.
"Oh, really? You're worthy of being Mr. Chu Ming! You found the suspect so quickly!" Officer Yokomizo shouted in a loud voice.
Kogoro Mouri looked at Yokomizo Sango, who had just been praising him behind his back, and suddenly ran to Chu Ming. Is this so realistic?
Officer Yokomizo was not aware of his trumpet nature at all and continued to ask, "Does Mr. Chu Ming have any evidence?"
Katsuro Hisashi was a little uneasy. He stood next to Maori Kogoro and interrupted with a smile: "Sir, do you know who the murderer is? You are so good, are you also a detective?"
"I'm not, I just saw Uncle Maori solve so many cases, and I was influenced by him. As for who the murderer is--" Chu Ming stretched out his voice, deliberately whetting everyone's appetite.
"Who is it?" Maori Kogoro asked, thinking that he couldn't lose his dignity and tried to save his reputation. "I actually already know who the murderer is. Tell me and I'll help you to see if there is any problem with your reasoning."
"Of course it's Mr. Katsuro Hisashi, the last one to arrive." Chu Ming dragged his voice lazily, called Conan over, and whispered in his ear for a while. Conan immediately turned around and ran away.
Now that Conan's image of liking to run around crime scenes has been established in front of Lafitte, he won't be easily suspicious in the future.
Katsuru Hisahi didn't expect that he would be in trouble. Everyone's eyes were on him. He quickly explained, "Haha, sir, you are such a joke. The reason why I arrived last was because I went to prepare things for the ceremony in the exhibition hall."
"Oh, aren't you going to clean up the scene of the president's murder?" Chu Ming leaned on Lafitte with an arrogant look on his face.
Lafitte managed to maintain his elegance in front of others, standing up straight and barely supporting Chu Ming's weight of over 100 pounds, but in fact he could no longer suppress the urge to push Chu Ming over.
Chapter 236 Water 1 No one noticed
After hearing Chu Ming's words, Katsura Hisahi's face changed and he opened his mouth to start quibbling.
Unexpectedly, Conan came over from a distance wearing gloves and dragging a black car hood.
Chu Ming nodded with his chin: "Mr. Katsuru, how about this, are you familiar with it? There is still fuel dripping from the Dino after it ran for a long time on the back of your car hood, that is the evidence."
Katsuro Hisashi didn't say anything for a long while. After a long while, he finally said hoarsely, "How did you know?"
"When the police were questioning me just now, the guard said that there was a black car parked where the president had parked his car before. The parking angle and position were exactly the same as the current Dino, and the engine was also not turned off. How could it be such a coincidence? I will make a bold guess and make a reasonable assumption."
"...He deserves to die. This Dino was originally..." Katsuro Hisashi said halfway, and found that Chu Ming didn't listen at all, but turned around and left with Lafitte. He couldn't help shouting, "...Don't you want to know why I killed him?"
Chu Ming turned back nonchalantly: "No matter how many reasons you give, they are only used to convince you to do it yourself. Don't share it with others. No one can empathize with you."
“……” Katsuro Hisashi closed his mouth and allowed Officer Yokomizo to handcuff him.
Watching the police car going away, Maori Kogoro suddenly realized: "We are not going to walk down the mountain anymore! If I had known, I would have just ridden Officer Yokomizo's car down the mountain!"
Xiaolan smiled helplessly: "It doesn't matter, just treat it as exercise."
Lafitte suddenly invited them in a friendly manner: "My driver will come to pick me up later. Why don't you take our car down the mountain?"
??? Lafitte, what are you doing? You invited Conan to ride in the organization's car?
What if the will of the world lets him accidentally drop a tracker or a bug in the car, and lets him snoop on some big operation? Wouldn’t that be the end? ? ?
However, the next second, Conan was the first to express his disagreement.
"No!! No, what I mean is, uh, Sister Xiaolan, why don't we go down the mountain? We can still exercise!"
Maori Kogoro didn't tolerate his little mood at all, and suppressed Conan: "Hahaha, how can I be so embarrassed? I don't know if there is enough space to sit on it?"
Lafitte kept glancing at Xiaolan from the corner of his eyes: "Enough, enough, I'll ask them to drive a bigger car."
Tsk, drive a Porsche 356A over here, it’s guaranteed to be awesome.
Unable to bear the sight of Lafitte looking like a peacock with its tail spread out, Chu Ming ignored Lafitte's murderous look when the outer members drove the car over, and pushed Lafitte to the passenger seat. He then squeezed in with Conan and the others at the back, and even drove the car while leaning against the passenger seat to play a lullaby for Lafitte.
Chu Ming was sitting in the back and couldn't feel Lafitte's specific mood, but Conan was in a good mood. If Chu Ming hadn't stopped him, he would even want to sing a song to celebrate.
When they arrived at the station, Chu Ming quietly got off the train with Conan and others. He planned to play with Conan for a while and then go back to Tokyo together. Maybe they would encounter some unexpected gains.
Before he had taken two steps, Lafitte poked his head out of the car window and asked quietly, "Where are you going?"
Chu Ming paused, slowly backed away to the side of the car, pushed Lafitte's head back into the car, and whispered, "Xiao Lan said she wanted to take the bus to the nearby Yingqiao Village for sightseeing. I'll go with them for a stroll and then go back to Tokyo."
Lafitte decisively unbuckled his seatbelt: "I want to go too!"
Chu Ming jumped up and said, "Why are you going? It's enough for one of us to be slacking off. Go back quickly!"
Lafitte turned his head and said, "You go back, I'll go fishing."
……
Neither of them could persuade the other, and finally they got on the old bus to Yingqiao Village together.
Because Conan was close to the water and had the upper hand, he was squeezed together with Xiaolan. Lafitte could only sit next to Chu Ming, dozing off with an unhappy look on his face. Chu Ming also leaned beside him and closed his eyes to rest.
Suddenly, as the car became noisier, a magnetic field slowly seeped into his body. Chu Ming opened his eyes in surprise and saw an old man lying at his feet, holding his neck.
He just knows that he can make extra money by following Conan!
Kogoro Mori quickly stood up to maintain order. After revealing his identity, he arranged all the passengers on the car to the back of the car, separated from the corpse.
Lafitte stood up and walked over to the body to examine it: "It's poisoned."
Chu Ming nodded and pointed to the leaking bottle lying on the ground: "The toxin should have been injected through that needle hole."
Kogoro Mouri quickly ordered everyone to search each other, and anyone who could be found with a syringe or drugs would be the murderer.
"It's useless. The car has been driving for so long. Maybe the murderer has already thrown the murder weapon out of the window. Or maybe he got off the car halfway through."
Conan put his hands in his pockets, without any concealment, and reasoned blatantly.
Lafitte increasingly doubts whether there is something fishy about Kogoro Mouri's title of famous detective, as his reasoning ability is not even as good as that of a child.
The car was parked at the entrance of the village and the police began to cordon off the scene.
While Maori Kogoro was communicating with the police, Lafitte quietly asked Chu Ming: "You have been following this detective. Have you found that there is a problem with his detective skills? That first-grade kid is better than him. Is his reputation just exaggerated?"
"No, it's just that his detective skills are affected by his mood swings."
PS: [Sorry, only one chapter QAQ. The first day after a long vacation is always very busy. I will update twice tomorrow.]
Chapter 237 I, the Dog King of the Organization
Lafitte might be old and confused, and he couldn't connect with Chu Ming's language and was completely unable to understand what Chu Ming meant. Of course, Chu Ming had no intention of explaining it to him.
This village is extremely xenophobic, and even a simple survey can cause disgust and displeasure among the villagers.
Chu Ming stood on the upper floor of the hotel and watched Maori Kogoro rushing out like a chicken with his blood pumped up because of the 100,000 commission offered by the village chief. He was ready to investigate the cause of Mr. Okumura's death thoroughly. However, his enthusiasm was met with countless rejections.
"Tsk, what a poor detective, why don't you go down and help him?" Lafitte came to the window without knowing when.
"What does it have to do with me? You like his daughter so much, why don't you go and help him?" Chu Ming curled his lips.
"I like his daughter, not him, so why should I help him?"
Lafitte handed his own cell phone to Chu Ming, motioning for him to take it. After Chu Ming took it, he turned around and ran to his room.
"? What are you doing?" Chu Ming took the phone in confusion and looked down at the screen. It was a call with Gin. The call had obviously just been connected, and the call time was increasing little by little.
? ? ? ?
Chu Ming didn't expect Lafitte to be such a coward. Good man, you are trying to pass on the blame, right? It seems that you don't know that I, Granburch, am the dog king of the organization.
"Gin?" Chu Ming caught Lafitte's voice in seconds. Humph, at the beginning, Vermouth not only taught him how to disguise himself, but also how to change his voice.
"The car I sent for you and Granburch is back. Why are you two not in the car?" Gin's eerie voice came from the receiver. If the two of them were in front of him now, perhaps one of them would have to be shot to relieve his hatred.
"We were involved in a case, and I let the driver who came to pick us up go back without checking his identity."
"Really? But that's not what the driver said when he came back." Gin sneered, obviously not believing it.
"You actually trust a driver instead of me?"
Tsk, what kind of image does Lafitte have in Gin's mind? Not even as good as a peripheral driver?
Gin snorted coldly: "Give the phone to Granburch, I'll ask him."
Well, it seems that in Gin's heart, his credibility is still higher than Lafitte's.
"Brother~" Chu Ming happily switched back to his own voice, "Don't worry, I will be able to solve this case soon and go back tomorrow."
"I remember telling you to come back directly after completing the mission." Gin's voice was a little cold, mixed with a hint of murderous intent.
"I've been involved in the case..." Chu Ming stretched out his voice.
Gin interrupted him directly: "When you got off the car with the detective, there was no case. Have you forgotten that all the cars sent out by the organization are monitored and wiretapped? After two days of missions with Lafitte, are you talking nonsense like him?"
"..." Isn't this embarrassing? He really doesn't know...
"I was just kidding you, haha. I can't hide it from you, big brother. The thing is, I heard from Maori Kogoro that they were going to visit Yingqiao Village, so I planned to go along with them and complete a small task. Lafitte thought I was going to be lazy, so he insisted on following them to slack off. When we get back, big brother, you must teach him a lesson." Chu Ming said confidently, as if he really had some important business to go to Yingqiao Village.
"Shadow Village?" Gin thought for a while, but couldn't remember what mission involved this village, so he simply gave up thinking about it, "I'll be at the base tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"Good~"
After Gin hung up the phone, Chu Ming looked at the phone belonging to Lafitte in his hand and suddenly smiled maliciously.
-------
By the time Lafitte was about to ask Chu Ming to return his phone, it was already evening.
"You cheated me and you still have the nerve to ask me for my phone?"
"I remember that you particularly admired Gin. He even taught you how to fight. I gave you the opportunity to talk to him. Shouldn't you thank me?" Lafitte was shameless and snatched the phone away while Chu Ming was shocked.
