Chu Ming was startled, his thoughts were disrupted, and he interrupted him unhappily: "Uncle, you know that scaring people can kill you, don't pretend. Your hands may look bruised, but if you really use that much force, your neck should be red..."
Mogi Haruki put down his hand: "Hahaha, it seems my acting skills are not good. You saw through it in an instant. Yes, I did it on purpose. I have no interest in finding treasure. Let's go first--"
Before he could finish his words, Dashanzhushang also started shouting and pinching his neck.
"Hey, Dashan, don't be so quick. You just started acting after I admitted it. What? Your acting is better than mine—"
Mogi Harufumi walked over angrily and tried to pull his hand down, but Daishinjuku had already fallen to the ground with a hideous face, dead.
Seeing that the only magnetic field that could be obtained today had been obtained, and no more magnetic field would be obtained if it was delayed any further, Chu Ming said that he was going to start turning over the table.
Chapter 280 My Golden House
While Chu Ming was pondering to himself, everyone had already carefully looked at the details around the corpse and began to investigate the cause of death of Dashanzhu.
"I know how Mr. Dashan died."
Chu Ming walked over, picked up Da Shanzhu's right hand, and gestured to everyone: "Look at his thumb, the surface of the nail is uneven, and there are traces of being bitten."
Then he casually threw away his hand and said: "There was no cyanide reaction found in the cup of Dashan Zhu. I suspect that the poison is actually in Mr. Dashan's hand - to be precise, each of us should have toxins on our hands. Mr. Dashan likes to bite his nails, so the toxins were eaten by him."
Seeing several detectives listening to his story attentively, Chu Ming leaned back on the dining chair and crossed his legs. "Just before dinner, when you were playing games to kill time, I went into a room. On the piano in the room, there was blood written about the brutal murder of all the scholars by Karasuma Renya. The last signature was Chiken Kyousuke."
"Detective Chima, you should know this man named Chima Kyousuke, right?"
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Qianjian Jiangdai put his hands behind his back, still maintaining his elegance: "Why, are you doubting me?"
Chu Ming nodded: "Yes, I am doubting you. Your name is Chikan Jyoudai, and I found another Chikan Kyousuke. Isn't it normal for me to doubt you?"
Qianjian Jiangdai smiled and said, "Young man, I am also a detective. It is useless for you to deceive me like this. If you really want to doubt me, please show me the evidence."
"Evidence?" Chu Ming took out a laptop from his bag and read out the information in the email he had just received word by word, "Chikan Kyousuke, a famous archaeologist forty years ago, his daughter Chikan Kyoyo..."
As Chu Ming spoke more and more details, Qianjian Jiangdai's expression became less attractive.
"In addition to this basic information, I actually know some things that no one else knows, such as the conspiracy between you and the Great Good Master in the room on the second floor yesterday morning, how to invite detectives to solve the mystery, and how to kill everyone here after they were no longer of any use to you."
Chu Ming's fingertips swept across the corner above the villa: "I had people install a lot of surveillance here before. I heard everything you discussed with Dashan Zhushang today, but I didn't expect you to attack your own partner."
Kidd couldn't help but ask, "Why did you install so many surveillance cameras here? And... when did you install them?"
Chu Ming said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course it's because I don't live here for a long time, and there is no housekeeper here to take care of the house. In order to prevent people from breaking into the house, I must install surveillance in advance."
"You, your house???" Qianjian Jiangdai had not spoken since Chu Ming took out the real evidence. Now he finally raised his head with some surprise.
"Of course." Chu Ming closed the computer. "I don't know what Mr. Dashan told you, but this villa was given to me by my elders, and the ownership documents are complete. It's just that I have never had the time to take good care of it, so this villa has been here all the time. It was because I heard that someone invited a detective in the name of the owner of the villa that I followed Uncle Maori here."
In fact, everyone had already suspected Qianjian Jiangdai, but there was no evidence at the time.
At this time, Conan hurried down from upstairs: "Brother Chu Ming, Brother Chu Ming, I know what the treasure represents!"
Regardless of the fact that there were many people in the living room, he excitedly climbed onto the clock stand in the living room and moved the long and short hands on the clock face while explaining the method of deciphering the code.
With a slight click, the entire clock fell off, the paint on the surface peeled off, revealing the golden color inside.
"Just for a piece of gold, my father gave his life. It's really ridiculous..." Qianjian Jiangdai squatted down, touched the gold clock, and sighed.
Chu Ming shook his head and motioned for everyone to follow him out. He stopped only when they reached an open area in the courtyard.
"It's not just this piece of gold, you see——"
As the code was deciphered, the walls of the entire villa gradually collapsed, and amid the dust, large patches of dazzling golden light suddenly appeared.
Chu Ming showed a psychedelic smile and opened his arms to everyone: "Look, my golden house! ! ! ! Mine!!!"
Who hasn’t dreamed of having a golden house when they were a kid?
"The reputation of the Dusk Villa is indeed well-deserved. Your net worth has suddenly become hundreds of billions." Qiangda Ikumi teased him with a smile.
When the dust settled, Chu Ming jumped up excitedly, feeling the joy of embracing gold.
Chu Ming used his mobile phone to take a photo of the current state of the villa, and planned to send it to his boss Gin and the others in a group, asking them to have fun with him.
"Although we can see so much gold, it's a pity that gold cannot be eaten. If we are trapped here, no matter how much gold we have, it will be given to others." Mogi Haruki couldn't help but pour cold water on Chu Ming.
"No, I haven't seen Mr. Bai Ma's pet for a long time." Chu Ming looked at Bai Ma Tan.
Bai Ma Tan dusted off the dust on his body and chuckled, "You are indeed very observant. I have already sent Watson out to deliver the letter. I guess the Metropolitan Police Department will have a helicopter to pick us up soon."
Sure enough, not long after, the Metropolitan Police Department's helicopter arrived, and several people boarded the helicopter with Chikan Kyouyo.
The plane had just taken off when Chu Ming's hand suddenly tightly grasped Maori Kogoro.
Kidd was so scared that his soul was about to fly out of his body, but he still pretended to be calm and calmed himself down: "What's wrong?"
Chu Ming smiled at him and said, "Kid, what's the matter? I want to take you to the Metropolitan Police Department to exchange your bonus."
! ! ? ?
Looking at the group of detectives surrounding him and trying to cut off his retreat, Kidd felt like crying but had no tears.
No, I just praised him last night... Why do you want to catch him together now... Am I not worthy of your flattery?
"If you let me go, I will tell you where Detective Maori is now!" Kidd rolled his eyes and began to negotiate terms with Chu Ming.
Chu Ming curled his lips: "Tsk, do you think I don't know? You must have tied him up in the gas station."
Kidd gritted his teeth secretly, Damn it, why do you understand me so well!
Chapter 281: Just a Golden Villa
In the end, Chu Ming did not do anything to Kidd. Instead, he took away his emotional value and then exposed a flaw and let him go. Watching Kidd flying away with the hang glider, Chu Ming couldn't help laughing out loud and helped Conan beside him to press his watch back.
"Damn it, he got away again." Conan sat next to Chu Ming and complained in a low voice.
Chu Ming glanced at the insincere little detective and couldn't help but laugh at him: "Come on, why didn't you use your anesthetic needle to shoot him when he was standing at the door of the helicopter just now? You're still talking about this after he ran away."
"But what if he falls forward? I just want to arrest him, I don't want his life." Conan said aggrievedly.
Chu Ming's face clearly showed that you're just being stubborn.
Chu Ming was thinking about the gossip about the Twilight Villa, so he called Rum directly after getting off the plane.
"Granburch? Am I seeing things? You, Granburch, will actually call me one day?" Rum said in an exaggerated tone, teasing loudly on the other end of the phone.
"...Uncle, don't sound so resentful. It sounds weird." Chu Ming was disgusted by his tone and couldn't help shaking off the goose bumps on his body. "I just have something I want to consult you about~"
"No problem. I will tell you everything I know." Rum's voice gradually became arrogant. "Hahaha, Gin, don't stare at me. I do know more than you. Is there anything wrong with Granburch coming to consult me?"
?
Gin is here too?
Sure enough, Gin's deep voice came through the receiver: "Heh."
Uh... isn't this embarrassing?
"You guys are busy, hahaha, then I won't bother you, see you next time--"
"It's okay, don't bother me, just go back to the base."
It's a rare occasion that Chu Ming takes the initiative to find him, so how can he not show off in front of Gin?
Chu Ming was carrying a bag, which contained some golden items he had brought back from the Huanghun Villa. In addition to the clock, there were many other decorations made of gold. As the wall coverings fell off, many of the objects inside also turned into golden items.
In line with the principle of everyone being happy together with him, Chu Ming carried some decorations on his back and planned to give small gifts to everyone he met during this period.
"Oh, everyone is here, come on, don't be polite to me, just pick whatever you like!"
Pushing open the door of the conference room, Chu Ming looked at Gin and Rum sitting inside and Vodka standing in the corner. He enthusiastically poured all the gold in his bag onto the table. The entire conference room was resplendent under the light.
Vodka looked at the table full of gold and was stunned: "Granburch, did you rob the gold shop?"
"Can you speak? What do you mean by snatch? Do I still need to snatch? I am no longer the same person I was two days ago. I am now a billionaire. Please be more respectful to me in the future." Chu Ming held his chin high, his face full of arrogance.
Vodka's face was full of question marks. When did he disrespect Granburch? Did he dare to do that?
Rum smiled and chose a golden crow: "This crow looks familiar. It's quite similar to the boss's family crest, right, boss?"
However, he never got a response from his boss and couldn't help but look up at the screen in front of him.
"…It is very similar." Karasuma Renya looked carefully at the gold on the table. To be exact, he felt that everything looked familiar. Was Granburch robbing him?
Gin also picked up a beautifully carved golden book, which also had a crow mark on the corner.
“Hehehe.” Chu Ming laughed foolishly, “Speaking of which, I should thank the boss. I went to the Dusk Villa…”
Karasuma Renya finally realized something was wrong. Aren't these all decorations in his room? How come they all turned gold? Was it Chu Ming who painted them?
No, with Rum's eyesight, it's impossible that he can't tell whether it's gold-plated or real gold...
“…Look!” Chu Ming told them the whole story in detail, and even peeled off the shell of the photo he had taken at that time to reveal the golden villa for them to see. “Hahahaha, I declare that I am now the richest person here!!!”
Karasuma Renya didn't say anything in front of the screen. He smiled and shook his head for a while. It was just a house built with gold. This amount of money was nothing to him now. He didn't expect that it would make Granburch so happy.
Forty years ago, the laboratory's research on rejuvenation and immortality was at a bottleneck. He invested almost all of his funds but still saw no hope. He himself was already suffering from illness, and nothing could offset the fear of approaching death. So when he heard that his mother had left a treasure in his house, he went to great lengths to find people to search for the treasure, hoping that the treasure they found could help him fill his own gap. He did not waste the people who did not find any clues, and threw them all into the laboratory to help him test the medicine.
As for now, forty years have passed, and the Miyano couple's experiment is almost half successful. Although he has not been taken away by death, he has become his current state of lingering death. Money is just a number to him. What he hopes to see more is a breakthrough in the experiment that can truly get rid of his illness and completely escape the threat of death.
When Karasuma Renya came back to his senses, he just heard Chu Ming curiously asking Rum: "By the way, I heard a rumor at Twilight Annex today. What happened at the memorial service at Twilight Annex forty years ago? Why did those celebrities in the political and business circles kill each other? Were those two men in black sent by the boss?"
"Memorial service?" Rum was stunned for a moment, then turned around and subconsciously looked at the black crow silhouette on the screen beside him.
"Vodka, you go out first." Gin ordered in a deep voice to go out first. What happened next, no matter what the boss or Rum said or not, was not something Vodka could listen to.
"It's nothing. It's just that a group of thieves thought I was really dead and wanted to steal my wealth by holding a memorial service. Although those things were not needed when I left in a hurry, they are not something that just anyone can take away." The BOSS's mechanical voice was full of murderous intent, and there was a strong murderous aura between the lines, which was completely different from when he chatted with Chu Ming about gossip before.
"Then... those two men in black are——"
Rum took over the conversation: "It was me and Lafitte. The boss asked us to bring back something that belonged to him. It just so happened that Lafitte brought some drugs that can make people lose their minds, so we added it to the marijuana and let those people smoke it."
And what about Lafitte?
Yes, Gin also said last time that Lafitte was already very old, but I didn't expect that he was actually the same age as Rum...
In fact, Chu Ming is still very curious about why Lafitte and Vermouth have always remained young. Could it be that they were testing drugs on the BOSS?
Chu Ming did not ask any questions regarding this drug for the time being, but he had some vague guesses.
The boss has been using mechanical sounds and crow silhouettes. Is this to maintain his mystery, or is he simply unable to appear?
