"Well, go to the base and I'll tell you the specific boss directly."
In the following time, Chu Ming rarely stopped making a fuss. All his thoughts were occupied by the Dusk Villa built entirely of gold in his mind. If he had not had some self-control, he would have collapsed in his chair.
As soon as the Vodka car stopped, Chu Ming jumped out of the car and connected with the BOSS in a familiar manner without even having time to change his disguise.
Karasuma Renya answered the call in a good mood. Before he could say anything, he looked at the pretty face of Yanzi that suddenly enlarged on the other side of the screen. He paused and asked Gin who suddenly appeared behind him: "Is this the new member you want to recommend? Where is Granburch?"
Gin had a wooden face and said in a flat tone: "This is it."
?
For a moment, Karasuma Renya wondered if he was really old and didn't understand the fashion of young people today: "Granburch?"
Chu Ming pinched his throat and said in a gentle and clear voice: "Boss, I am Baileys now~?( ′???` ) Heart"
"..."
Seeing that Karasuma Renya didn't say anything, Chu Ming blinked and said, "BOSS?"
A heavy sigh that could not be covered up by the mechanical sound came: "Gin, I remember when I handed Granburr over to you, he was quite normal."
Chu Ming's mind was full of question marks. Was he abnormal now? Was this something that could be discussed in front of him?
Gin took the blame in silence, expressing his dissatisfaction with silence.
"Granburch, I had someone handle the ownership of Dusk Villa this afternoon and it has been transferred to your name. I heard that you drank again today?" Karasuma Renya suddenly changed the subject and asked about Chu Ming's visit to the bar in the afternoon. "That bar is my property. The surveillance video has just been sent to me. Do you want to watch it together?"
"..." This time it was Chu Ming's turn to be speechless, "No, I guess not..."
Gin suddenly said: "Vermouth took him there."
??? Oh my god, my great son, you actually told on me!!!
Chu Ming looked at Gin quietly with a strange look of relief, and when Gin noticed it, he glared at him fiercely.
Chapter 276 My Birthday is Coming Soon
Chu Ming felt that the BOSS must be bored, after all, he accepted the chat immediately after he initiated it, and he thought the two of them were having a great time chatting.
Chu Ming also shared all the gossip that Bourbon had secretly told him with his boss. He also showed him Bourbon's hot girl photos, the photo of Lafitte pretending to be Gin cutely covering his hat, and the photo of Gin in a daze that he had vowed to save...
Anyway, he attacked all the members he could, completely ignoring the strong murderous aura emanating from Gin behind him.
The boss contentedly saved a bunch of photos Chu Ming sent him, backed up countless copies, and agreed with Chu Ming to send him a copy of any interesting photos in the future. Before leaving, he kindly spoke up for Chu Ming: "Okay, Gin, Granburch has to do a mission these two days, so don't ask him to train recently."
Gin was forced to agree with a cold face. After the BOSS hung up the phone, he stared at Chu Ming with a sinister look, and the malice in his eyes lingered.
"Brother, what are you doing? The boss has said... No, you can't take me to train anymore!" Chu Ming felt good for a while, but now that his support is gone, he suddenly felt guilty.
Gin pressed his hat down, the brim covering his eyes. He snorted coldly and turned away: "Then I'll wait for you to finish your mission and come back."
"No! My birthday will be coming soon when I finish the mission!" Chu Ming followed Gin closely while taking off his disguise.
Seeing that Gin was unmoved and continued to walk out, Chu Ming sighed beside him with a hint of relief: "Boss gave me a villa as a birthday gift, so what are you going to give me, brother? The helicopter you taught me to fly last time was pretty good, and it can just fit on the helipad of my villa."
Rather than being driven out by Gin to shoot at Tokyo Tower and then being blown up by Conan with a football, it would be better to leave it to him for fun.
"..." Gin looked at Chu Ming who was opening his mouth like a lion. Is that an ordinary helicopter? That's an Osprey! !
However, seeing that Chu Ming was sticking to him and wasn't going to leave without getting something, he could only rummage in his coat pocket and stuff a Glock into Chu Ming's hand.
Chu Ming looked at the plastic-feeling gun in his hand and said with a look of rejection: "This gun is a bit ugly."
Seeing that he didn't want it, Gin decisively took it back and stuffed it into his coat, then continued to rummage around his waist and stuffed another P226 into his hand.
"...Brother, is your coat a treasure bag?" Chu Ming looked at Gin's coat, which contained a gun here and there. He curiously wanted to touch it, but Gin slapped his hand away. Chu Ming continued to be persistent and said, "How about, brother, give me the whole coat? I feel like you must have a lot of stuff in there."
"..." Gin looked at this bastard who was getting more and more greedy, and even wanted to take back the P226 he had just given away.
Chu Ming stuffed the guns into his pockets: "Thank you for the gun you gave me today, brother. Remember to prepare the gift for my birthday~"
What a joke, is he someone who can be satisfied with just a gun?
The boss gave me a golden annex worth hundreds of billions!!!
Before Gin lost his temper and had time to refuse, Chu Ming quickly said goodbye to Gin and fled the scene.
After wasting so much time, when Chu Ming ran to the gate of the base, he happened to meet the returning Vermouth.
"Sister~" Chu Ming hurried over, blinking his eyes, "I was just looking for you~"
Vermouth grabbed Chu Ming's face and gritted her teeth: "Sister was looking for you too, I thought you were really drunk, but it turns out you were just kidding me?"
Chu Ming's face was held in the palm of his hand, and he rested his head on Belmode's palm and winked at her: "Sister~"
Who can resist being spoiled in front of this face? Vermouth sighed softly, let go of her hand, and asked softly: "Sweetheart, did that kid named Conan make you angry? Why do I see you pretending to be drunk and teasing him?"
Vermouth was still immersed in the afterglow of eating melons and watching the show, but on the way back on her motorcycle, the cold wind calmed her down a lot.
Why did Granburch suddenly expose Conan to Gin? Was it because he discovered something? Why didn't Gin react? Was Conan exposed?
These questions kept circling in her mind.
As soon as she met Chu Ming, she couldn't wait to get the news.
Chu Ming looked at Vermouth, whose expression remained normal without any change, as if she really didn't mean to chat casually, and couldn't help but sigh that she was worthy of being a famous movie star. Her acting skills were top-notch.
Chu Ming sorted out his words: "I did it on purpose."
"I feel that Conan is a very strange child. Sometimes he speaks very maturely, but sometimes he is too childish, as if he has split personality. I told my sister about the doubts about his identity last time. Now I suspect that he is Kudo Shinichi..."
"Impossible...right?" Vermouth refuted without thinking, and then reacted and added an interjection, "Hasn't Kudo Shinichi been confirmed dead?"
"I haven't finished talking yet..." Chu Ming muttered dissatisfiedly, "I suspect he is Kudo Shinichi or Kudo Shinichi's son, so I planned to ask Gin to help me see if he still remembers it. Unfortunately, Gin didn't respond, so it should not be him..."
Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief strangely, and said with a smile: "So sweetheart, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Sister, my birthday is coming soon, and the boss gave me a villa, which is the Dusk Villa!" Chu Ming was full of hints.
Vermouth laughed out loud when she heard this: "So you are here to blackmail me? Well, sweetheart, I can't let you down on your birthday. I will prepare a big gift for you on your birthday."
"Okay, thank you, sister~" Chu Ming made a heart shape with his hands to Belmode again, and then he thought of something, "Sister, there is one more thing."
"what?"
"Can you disguise yourself and accompany me to Nagano? I previously agreed to explore the Dusk Annex with Conan under the identity of Chu Ming. Originally, we went there for the legendary treasure. But now this is my house, and the treasure belongs to me! Of course, those detectives will go as far as they can. So I plan to go under the identity of Shotake Yusuke~"
"What a pity, I can't leave Tokyo for the time being. That FBI woman is watching me closely." Vermouth lifted her hair apologetically.
"Okay, let's do it the same as before. If anyone calls Chu Ming, I will transfer the call to my sister's cell phone. Sister, remember to change your voice and cover up the lie for me."
Vermouth narrowed her eyes and suggested maliciously: "Why don't you go there as Baileys?"
【Hate to talk about / what is the meaning of the word? ㈨ ④ 8З 24○ ㈨②】
Thinking of Conan's helpless and furious expression as he tried to get some information from a member of his organization but couldn't, and could only contribute points, Chu Ming nodded with satisfaction: "...That's fine."
Chapter 277 My Talent is Average
Thinking of what happened at the Twilight Villa, Chu Ming left the base overnight and went back home first. He looked into the yard of Dr. Agasa's house from upstairs and saw the sneaky figure of Conan the dog. He went downstairs to change his clothes and went straight to Dr. Agasa's house.
"Brother Chu Ming, is there anything wrong so late?" Conan ran over, opened the door, and stepped aside to let Chu Ming in.
"I just saw you appear in the yard of Dr. Agasa's house upstairs, so I came over to see you. I just happened to have something to tell you." Chu Ming said as he walked in.
In the living room, Dr. Agasa was on the phone while Haibara Ai was typing on the computer.
"What's the matter?"
"Last time, you called me and told me that you had an appointment to go to the Twilight Villa together, that is -"
Conan suddenly realized: "Ah, this, Dr. Agasa and I are also looking into this. Just now, Huibara told me that the documents left by her parents seemed to mention the Twilight Annex, so we suspect that the Annex is related to the organization. The doctor is now looking for his friends in this area to find out who all the people in the Twilight Annex are."
"Documents? What documents?" Chu Ming suddenly remembered the documents they had exchanged from GN Company before, and what Gin later told him that Shirley had taken away the research documents of the Miyano couple. He lowered his eyes as if to inquire about the news unintentionally.
Huibara Ai, who was working hard in front of the computer, turned her head and said, "A long time ago, when I was reading the research materials left by my parents, I found a research log in it. It mentioned that they had stayed in the Dusk Annex a long time ago. Unfortunately, I fled the organization too hastily, and I put the materials in a hidden place. I didn't have time to bring them out. Now I guess... Alas..."
"A secret place?" Conan was the first to get excited. "Why didn't you mention it before? Where is it? Let's go get it! Will your research on the antidote be much faster with that information?"
Ai Huihara pushed away Conan who was approaching with excitement and poured cold water on him: "I couldn't even get out of the base gate at that time, so of course I was hiding in the base! After I escaped from the organization, those guys destroyed the base in order to prevent the secrets from being leaked. I guess the data was also burned along with it."
Conan was completely depressed after his hope was destroyed.
At this time, Dr. Agasa's shout interrupted the conversation of several people.
"Shinichi, I found it out. After much searching, I finally found it out. My friend said he would send it to me later. -Huh?"
Conan and the others hurried over to take a look, then turned to look at Chu Ming in shock: "Brother Chu Ming, this, this is - your property rights?"
Chu Ming touched his head embarrassedly: "I was just about to tell you this, but the topic got sidetracked. This villa has been passed on many times. After you called me this morning, I felt that the name of this villa was very familiar, so I asked someone to check it for me. A long time ago, this villa was once in the hands of an elder in my family. When I counted my parents' inheritance last time, I found that it had been transferred to me. The property rights were just transferred a few days ago, so I plan to go with you tomorrow to see who is brazen enough to say that he wants to entertain guests in my villa without even discussing it with me..."
Conan's eyes were full of complexity, as if he was thinking, 'I thought he was just an ordinary rich guy, but it turns out he's much richer than I thought.' Fortunately, he has seen rich people before, so he was just shocked for a while before continuing, "Then the clue about the annex is broken again... Forget it, let's wait and see. Brother Chu Ming, will you drive to the Maori Detective Agency to pick us up tomorrow morning?"
Pick you up? Chu Ming thought of the cars that were blown up at the entrance of the annex by Chiken Kyoudai, shook his head decisively, and whispered to Conan: "Nagano is too far, it will probably take a long time to drive there, why don't we trick Uncle Maori? Let him drive, I'm not an adult yet, I can't drive for so long."
Conan thought about it and realized that driving for a whole day was indeed tiring, so it was better to let the experienced driver Kogoro Mouri drive.
Conan was taken home by Mouri Ran who came to pick him up. Chu Ming also wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by Haibara Ai. Chu Ming followed her into her underground laboratory.
Facing Chu Ming's curious eyes, Huiyuan Ai pondered for a while, raised her head and asked softly: "You-with your family background, why did you join the organization in the first place?"
Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Because I'm the same as you, I have no choice."
Huiyuan Ai was obviously confused: "Your parents... are also——"
Chu Ming nodded, asked Huiyuan Ai to sit down, and patched himself up: "Same, but also different; your parents are researchers of the organization, and you are valued by the organization because of your medical talent, and you got a code name at a young age; although my parents are also researchers, my talent is average, and there is nothing particularly outstanding about me. With my meager fighting power, I can only barely survive among the peripheral members, and I have the privilege of choosing tasks."
Looking at Huihara Ai's somewhat apologetic eyes, Chu Ming continued to play the victim. He showed a shallow smile: "Life like this is pretty good now. I take on a small mission every once in a while, and the rest of the time I can arrange freely. I am living better than many members now. Although I don't know who will kill me while on a mission one day, I have this memory, which is already very good."
"sorry, I……"
Chu Ming waved his hands: "There's nothing to be sorry about." He was just making it up anyway.
He continued, "There was some private property in the inheritance my parents left me, enough for me to live a life without worries about food and clothing, so I have nothing to complain about. By the way, you just lied to Conan about the information left by your parents being burned, right? You didn't tell him because you were afraid he would get impulsive?"
Huihara Ai nodded with a cold expression, a rare hint of hesitation in her eyes: "The data is indeed still in the base, but it's not the base I was in before. If Conan knew about it, he would definitely take risks. It's actually quite good now. Gin saw his appearance but didn't think of it in the direction of Kudo Shinichi, which shows that shrinking the body is the best protection. It's actually not bad to live like this for the rest of my life."
"I'll find a chance to get it back for you, regardless of whether there's an antidote or not. But it's sometimes inconvenient to keep doing this. Besides, Gin can't make the connection when he sees Conan, but he will definitely be able to make the connection when he sees you shrink. After all, I heard that you followed Gin for a while when you were still a kid."
Huiyuan Ai thought for a while, then shook her head: "No, members outside the base don't have permission to enter, I can't let you take risks."
...The story seems to have been made up.
Chu Ming did not force it. Since he knew that Shirley had not taken him out of the organization, it didn't matter. Although the organization could not get the information, it could not lose it either.
