Chu Ming looked at Conan's thoughtful profile and silently took back his phone. All the evidence and clues related to him had been arranged. Shimabukuro Kimie had also been taken off the island last night and changed her appearance.
Xiaolan suddenly ran out of the shrine and said that the shrine had just received a strange phone call, saying that the dugong arrow bought for 100 million was very useful and his son's surgery was no longer dangerous. The man who sold him the arrow was tall and had an untidy beard.
Hattori immediately identified the murderer. He thought that the murderer must be the drunkard Mr. Menxie, who was also Menxie Saori's father. The arrow he sold must be the dugong arrow that Saori lost. Maybe because he tasted the sweetness of this, he killed the other two winners and prepared to sell the arrows.
However, Conan felt that since the murderer was not Shimabukuro Kimie, it was most likely Saori who had written a letter to Hattori before. Neither of them could convince the other.
In the end, the two decided to act separately. Conan continued to look for evidence of Saori's murder, while Hattori took Kazuha and followed the police to the mountains to search for Mr. Menkyo.
Seeing that the two of them decided on their action target in a blink of an eye, Chu Ming was stunned: "Then I will continue to be a scoundrel?"
Chapter 266: Tetanus
In the end, this scoundrel didn't work out. Hattori grabbed Chu Ming's neck and dragged him over to accompany him to find Mr. Menxie.
"Kudo - hahahaha, Uncle Maori, Xiaolan and that brat Conan are a group of three, and Kazuha and I are only two people. With brother Chu Ming, we are also a group of three! So brother Chu Ming, don't even think about being a scumbag!"
Chu Ming also grabbed Hattori's neck with his backhand: "Are you stupid? Isn't it good for the two of you to have your own world? Why drag me into this?"
Hattori's hand loosened: "Well, why don't you go to bed--"
Chu Ming gave him a big smile: "No! I want to be a light bulb beside you."
“…” Hattori felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
Hattori let go of her hand, made up a lame excuse with a dark face, and walked away by Heye's wrist: "Heye, let's go ahead, and let Chu Ming follow behind. This way, if I miss any clues, Chu Ming can still find them."
It was rare that Hattori came to his senses, so Chu Ming did not force himself to follow the two of them, but just followed them not too far away.
As a result, Hattori walked too fast and was tripped by a stone under his feet. He stumbled and was about to fall off the cliff. He decisively let go of Kazuha's hand, not wanting to put Kazuha in danger. As a result, Kazuha was just as quick-witted and grabbed Hattori's hands with both hands, and threw him up with the backhand. The two of them instantly exchanged positions.
Hattori staggered to his feet, watching Kazuha falling face down with bloodshot eyes. He rushed forward a few steps and jumped down to firmly grasp Kazuha's hand, while his other hand hung on a tree on the edge of the cliff. The two of them were staggering.
"Brother Chu Ming! Help! Help! Hattori shouted loudly towards the cliff.
Soon, Chu Ming's head popped out, tried it, leaned down on the cliff and grabbed Hattori's wrist.
"No, Brother Chu Ming, you have no place to leverage like this. Once this tree stump breaks, you will be pulled down by the weight of both of us!" Hattori looked up and saw Chu Ming's posture, and shouted anxiously.
Heye was also a little anxious. The tree that Hattori was holding was about to break. She cried, "Heiji, let go of my hand. This way you are alone. Brother Chu Ming can pull you up."
Hattori ignored He Ye's self-deprecating words, but looked around to see if there was any place he could land to relieve Chu Ming's pressure.
Seeing that Hattori refused to let go, He Ye took out the dugong arrow that he had kept well hidden, and prepared to stab Hattori's hand, so that he would loosen his hand due to the severe pain, and then he would fall down and be saved naturally.
Tears kept pouring out of her eyes, and Kazuha bit her lower lip: "I'm sorry, Heiji, bye--"
When she raised her hand to stab Hattori, Chu Ming said at the right time: "There is rust on the arrow. If you stab it like this, Hattori will get tetanus."
The raised hand stopped in mid-air, and He Ye looked at a loss: "But...but..."
Chu Ming chuckled: "Don't underestimate me. Are you ready to take off?"
After saying that, he exerted force with his wrists and waist at the same time, and pulled the two people up from the bottom of the cliff without any support.
Hattori and Kazuha only felt that they were flying into the air, and in the blink of an eye they were lying on the grass on the cliff.
Hattori gasped: "Idiot, don't ever give up!!"
He Ye blinked and held back the tears that were about to flow: "It's all your fault. You were not careful when walking. You led me down the cliff even though there were signposts! If it weren't for Brother Chu Ming, you would be doomed, you idiot!!"
Because both He Ye and Hattori were scratched by tree branches when they fell, Chu Ming ignored Hattori's objections and protests, forcibly ended the mountain search, and took both of them back to apply medicine.
Xiaolan and Conan also hurried over: "He Ye, are you okay? I heard from Brother Chu Ming that you accidentally fell off the cliff, so I came to help you apply medicine..."
Kazuha thought of how Hattori had grabbed her hand without hesitation, and a hint of sweetness appeared on her face. She followed Xiaolan into the room, and the two were still whispering as they walked.
"Hey, come back to your senses." Conan nudged Hattori's calf with his knee, "The person has already entered the room. You can't see him anymore."
Hattori reacted and instantly became serious: "What? I'm just worried about my brother!"
"..." Looking at this straight man, Chu Ming and Conan didn't want to talk at all.
"Honestly, stop being so arrogant. When are you going to confess to Kazuha? Be careful if you delay it any longer, or someone else will snatch you away~"
Conan relies on the fact that he has already confessed his feelings, and now sits back and relaxes, preparing to watch Hattori make a fool of himself.
"I haven't chosen an address yet--" Hattori muttered in a very low voice. At least no one could hear it except Chu Ming.
"You haven't chosen an address yet. What kind do you want to choose? We can give you some suggestions!" Chu Ming shouted maliciously.
"You can hear me even when I spoke so quietly? No, no - I didn't say anything, any address, Brother Chu Ming, you heard me wrong. What I said is that we are just brothers, brothers, and I want to choose a place to calm my brother down." Hattori retorted incoherently.
"...You're just being stubborn." Conan couldn't help but complain, "We're all brothers, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, we won't tell on you, and we can even help you with your advice."
Hattori's face was so dark that Chu Ming could see that the tips of his ears were a little red, which showed how embarrassed he was right now: "I... I... want to choose a good place, want to leave a good memory for Kazuha, but I haven't found a satisfactory place to confess yet..."
Chu Ming touched his chin and said, "I think He Ye doesn't care about the location. She doesn't need those vague formalities. What she needs may just be your emotional recognition from the bottom of your heart."
"How can that be possible? I want her to be moved to tears when she thinks back to the day when she confessed her love to me..."
"What do you mean by tears welling up in your eyes? Heiji, what are you doing?" Kazuha, who had applied the medicine, walked out of the room and interrupted curiously, "What are you talking about?"
"No, ah hahaha, no, I'm not in tears, haha, it's just, I, I was telling them that you just... uh, just cried so hard, hahaha, it was so ugly!!"
"..." Chu Ming and Conan looked at each other. It was hopeless, so let it go.
Chapter 267: Trapping Akai Shuichi
The next day, several people boarded the return ship.
After the police caught Mr. Menxie and found out that he was not the murderer, they determined that the murderer was Menxie Saori, so they began to issue a wanted warrant for Menxie Saori nationwide. There was nothing else for the few people to do on the island, so they took the police boat back to the shore together.
After Chu Ming said goodbye to a few people, he went straight back to the base. It was rare that Gin was still sitting in the base so early in the morning and didn't go out to do the mission.
"Brother, are you not busy today?" Chu Ming walked into the door staggeringly, holding a biscuit in his mouth, and saw Gin sitting at the bar drinking vodka early in the morning.
He also moved over and sat down. Vodka quickly gave up his seat to him and sat at the edge.
Chu Ming searched inside and finally found a bottle of juice. He poured himself a glass. The biscuits he ate were too dry and a bit choking.
Gin took a sip of wine, lowered his eyes to glance at the juice Chu Ming was drinking, and reached out to stop him from bringing it to his mouth.
"?" Chu Ming looked at Gin in confusion.
Gin tapped the bottle twice with his slender fingers. Chu Ming tilted his head and took a look. On the bottle it said: 3% fruit alcohol beverage.
"No, big brother, I can't even drink a little bit of alcohol, right?" Chu Ming was inexplicably sad and angry, "This basically doesn't smell like alcohol at all!"
When Vodka heard the word "wine", he reacted suddenly and rushed over at a speed that was completely inconsistent with his body size. He snatched the wine glass in front of Chu Ming, then quickly brought the kettle and teacup on the coffee table over, poured them, and placed them in front of Chu Ming.
In just a blink of an eye, Chu Ming found that the colorful drink in front of him turned into colorless and tasteless boiled water.
He stared at Vodka quietly without saying a word, which frightened Vodka, who sat back in the corner.
Gin snorted, "Okay, stop scaring him. Vodka, go drive the car to the door, and Granburch will come with us later."
Seeing Vodka responded and went out directly, Chu Ming was dumbfounded. What was he doing? He just came back, why was he going out again? ? ?
"Brother, I just came back and haven't rested yet! And didn't Vodka drink just now? If I go with you, will I be caught for drunk driving? I don't want to--"
Gin didn't listen to Chu Ming at all. He tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass. Then he picked up Chu Ming, who was leaning on the bar, like a bag and went out together.
"Wait - Big Brother, change your appearance, I haven't changed my appearance yet..." Chu Ming was held by Gin's hand, with a look of despair on his face.
"There are the materials that Vermouth used before in the car. Go to the car and disguise yourself." Opening the car door, Gin threw Chu Ming into the back seat and sat in himself.
"Brother, where are we going?" Chu Ming was forcibly taken into the car by Gin, and he didn't even know where the destination was. If he had known that Gin was going to go on a mission after drinking that glass of wine, he might as well have gone to the Maori Detective Agency and sat for a while before coming back.
"Murder." Gin said concisely.
Chu Ming, who was originally listless, suddenly stood up: "Brother, you should have told me earlier. If you had told me earlier that this is such an interesting thing, I wouldn't need to bother you to carry me. I could have carried myself up long ago!"
Then he looked at Gin with sparkling eyes: "Kill who!"
Gin could no longer conceal his murderous intent. A cold smile appeared on his face: "Of course it's the most cunning mouse."
Chu Ming blinked: "Akai Shuichi? Then are we short of people? Although I don't want to flatter Akai Shuichi, there are only three of us. What if he runs away? And didn't big brother say last time that we should wait for all the FBI people to catch him in one fell swoop?"
Hearing this, Gin's face darkened: "Those stalkers are useless. They lost the person."
???
no? ? ?
Chu Ming carefully considered the meaning of Gin's words. He lost the person... So you don't know where the person is? Then how can you kill him?
Is it possible that Gin's daily routine recently is to sit in the car every morning and patrol the entire rice flower, trying to find the trace of Akai Shuichi? ? ?
Patrolling here???
Feeling Chu Ming's speechless look, Gin simply chose to ignore it. He was not looking for Akai Shuichi specifically. He had to go out on a mission anyway. What if he met him?
Chu Ming, who felt that he was being tricked by Gin, leaned back in the back seat. Suddenly, his face was filled with excitement: "I know how to lure out Akai Shuichi."
*************************
"Impossible, I will never agree to such a thing!" Bourbon's face was dark, and he rejected Chu Ming's proposal without hesitation. He turned to look at Gin: "You want him to go crazy like this? Do you really think this method is feasible???"
Chu Ming covered Songzhu Yusuke's face with an innocent look: "Why not?"
"Then why don't you go by yourself?" Bourbon's purple-gray eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
"Because Hei Mai doesn't know me. I heard that you and he were sworn enemies before he betrayed the organization." Chu Ming was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Bourbon gritted his teeth: "Isn't gin also——"
"Swish—" Before he could finish his words, Gin fired a shot at his feet, full of warning, "Think before you speak."
"Then I definitely can't wear women's clothes to lure out Akai Shuichi!!! Is there no normal way???"
"We can't find it by normal means." Chu Ming pulled Bourbon over and gave him psychological counseling, "Think about it, although you need to dress up as a woman to lure people out temporarily, we can use this to catch Akai Shuichi!"
"Can't I just be the bait? Why do you have to dress up as a woman..." Bourbon gritted his teeth, "Are you really not doing this on purpose?"
"How could that be? Think about it, if you saw your mortal enemy Akai Shuichi wearing women's clothes today, would you follow him to see what's going on? And laugh at him at the same time?"
Bourbon thought about it and nodded: "Yes."
"That's fine. Akai Shuichi thinks so too. If you go directly, he will definitely treat you as bait and won't act rashly. But it will be different if you go there dressed as a woman. He will definitely not think that you are willing to dress as a woman to lure him out, and he will be very curious about what kind of mission it is that allows you to dress as a woman... Most importantly, he will definitely not miss this opportunity to laugh at you."
“……” Bourbon said nothing.
Chu Ming continued to lobby: "All you paid was a trivial woman's outfit, but you got a chance to catch Akai Shuichi, just tell me whether you want to do it or not!"
