After chatting, Rum invited Chu Ming to sit down and discuss things together.
"What were you talking about just now?" Chu Ming was very curious, "Are there any fun activities?"
"There's not much going on, we're just talking about how Shuichi Akai is still alive." Rum glanced at Gin meaningfully.
"Hmph, he won't be able to jump for many more days." Gin remained calm in the face of Rum's provocation, and spoke harshly in a cold tone.
"Then should we surround him again? When, when? I want to join in!" Chu Ming thought of the magnetic fields he touched one after another when he broke out of the encirclement last time, and he became excited instantly.
"Right now, there are things more important than those FBI matters. We must catch Shirley. Even if we can't catch her, we must bring back the information she took away..."
……
After Karasuma Renya finished explaining what needed to be said, he hung up the call.
At this time, Rum approached Chu Ming in a friendly manner and said, "Granburch, look, this big house is placed on the mountain. It would be terrible if someone secretly took away some of it. Our intelligence team is short of funds recently... Ahem, it would be better to give it to me instead of others... Well, do you want to...?"
???
"You can cheat me, but you can't cheat me of my money." Chu Ming rejected him outright.
"Hey, look at what you're saying. How about I declare you the successor to the intelligence group now? The intelligence group will be yours from now on. It would be nice to spend some money on your own intelligence group..." Rum was full of hints.
Chu Ming kicked back the pie he had drawn: "No, I'm not interested in the intelligence team, I prefer the action team~"
"No..." Rum envied the gold-made annex just now. "So, with so much gold, don't you have a way to sell it? I can help you sell it, but I'll charge you 10% as a reward."
"I won't sell it. I want to live in such a beautiful house myself. I am a delicate flower and I want to live in a golden house. Besides, this is the house given to me by my boss. I won't sell it." Chu Ming directly rejected Rum's request. What a joke. Ten percent of hundreds of billions is tens of billions. Rum is really good at getting something for nothing.
"What? That annex was actually given to you by the boss???"
Rum admitted that he was jealous. He had worked hard for his boss for so many years, so why didn’t his boss give him a golden house?
"Yes, ever since I joined the organization, I have been favored by the boss alone. This organization has three thousand fine wines, but the boss favors me alone. I often advise the boss to treat everyone equally, but the boss won't listen and just favors me~" Chu Ming raised his chin and shook his head to stimulate Rum.
Rum: “…”
Gin: "..."
Although the call was turned off, he was still watching the BOSS through the monitor: "..."
I'm afraid the air will suddenly become quiet.
In the end, Gin's psychological quality was better. He pretended not to hear Chu Ming's strange tone: "Granburch, you should keep an eye on the FBI recently. This group of FBI entered the country, most likely for Shirley. At the beginning, that woman Miyano Akemi sent a text message abroad, and she must have sent it to Akai Shuichi, probably to let Akai Shuichi pick her and her sister up to leave the country."
"Judy is the only one in the FBI in public. Isn't she being watched by my sister? Do I still need to go?" Chu Ming wanted to be lazy. He wanted to stay in his own room for a few days and lie there until he was dizzy.
"Vermouth also has other tasks, so it's just right for you to help her divert the attention of the FBI." Gin lit a cigarette, took a puff, and saw Chu Ming staring at him with burning eyes, so he turned his head and blew the smoke towards Rum.
Rum:? ? ?
*****************************
"Lan's luck is still as good as ever." Chu Ming held his chin up, sitting in Maori Kogoro's car, and sighed at Lan's great luck, "I always feel that with Lan here, uncles, you guys don't have to pay for meals, it's all thanks to the dining coupons that Lan drew."
Maori Kogoro was driving and couldn't help complaining: "Xiaolan doesn't have such good luck every day. Today is a special case. It's all because of that damn Kid. Don't let me catch him. He made me stay in the toilet of the gas station with thin clothes for a whole day! I suffered so much, what's wrong with going to eat something good?"
"It's very good, very good. I haven't had Chinese food for a long time." Chu Ming wiped his non-existent saliva. It was time to travel around China. He wanted to eat Chinese food.
But when they arrived at the restaurant in Chinatown, Xiaolan took out the coupon from her pocket, but was suddenly told that the coupon could only be used on weekends.
"Hey, I didn't pay any attention to this line of fine print." Mao Lilan held the coupon with a depressed look on her face, "I should have read it more carefully earlier. What should we do now?"
Chu Ming was rich and generous: "Since you are here, why don't you sit down and eat here? I'll treat you guys as a token of your care for me over the past few days."
Kogoro Mori was secretly delighted. Is there such a good thing?
Just as they were about to agree, a table of people in the distance suddenly called out to Xiaolan and the others, "If you don't mind, why don't you join us? Of course, we'll treat you."
Kogoro Mori was still wary of this invitation and did not agree readily. After all, there is no free lunch in the world.
"Of course, we also have a request. How old is this lady this year? We have a script here and would like this lady to play the leading role." Kawabata Shiro went straight to the point and spoke directly.
"Heroine? Me?" Mao Lilan waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't do it."
Chu Ming encouraged her: "Why not? Didn't you perform the role of princess very well at the school celebration? You can give it a try. By the way, when you become successful, you must help me get a few more autographs!"
"Brother Chu Ming has an idol?" Conan was a little curious, "Whose autograph do you want?"
"As long as they're popular idols, it's fine. If there's something I don't like, I can sell it off~"
If all else fails, you can give it to Vodka. That otaku will definitely love it.
Chapter 283 Are you Mr. Chu Ming?
Seeing that someone was trying to persuade her, Kawabata Shiro also quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, yes, miss, as soon as this movie starts to be released, you will immediately be among the stars. Then you can make friends with all the artists and actors, including professional baseball players, racing drivers, football players, etc...."
Chu Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this obvious empty promise. How could it be so smooth? It wasn't that easy to make it in the entertainment industry.
Hiss - but Xiaolan is different. If she really wants to enter the entertainment industry, her two movie queen mothers - Yukiko and Vermouth will definitely help and protect her. With the help of a rich best friend, maybe she will have a smooth road ahead.
Kogoro Mouri and Conan's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they hurried forward to persuade him.
"Sister Xiaolan, why don't you give it a try~"
"That's right, you have to try everything before you know it!"
At this time, Ito Kiyoshi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "But if you want to act, you have to be mentally prepared."
The original author Kitura Kyogo also spoke up with resentment at this time: "That's true. There was a producer who, in order to make money, would rather ignore the original work and insist on putting in a few intimate scenes..."
? ? ? ?
? ? ? ?
These words really made Conan jealous. Conan quickly said that it didn't matter whether she was a celebrity or not, so let's just forget it.
Kogoro Maori followed suit and nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, Isohei Hizo suddenly said with emotion: "Well, if you can't even accept this, you'd better stop acting, or you'll end up losing your life."
Looking at Isohei Hirozo who suddenly spoiled the mood by bringing up this topic, Chu Ming felt a little confused. How did the topic turn so abruptly here?
However, since you brought up the topic, there is a high probability that you are the murderer.
"Hey, Isoue, please don't scare the little girl. I'm very optimistic about her."
Xiaolan was quite embarrassed and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm not as good as you say..."
As a result, he accidentally spilled all the soup on the table onto his legs and the bowl fell to the ground. Kawabata Shiro hurriedly picked up the tablecloth to wipe it, and said a few words of comfort to Xiaolan who kept apologizing, telling her to order any food she wanted.
Just now when Xiaolan squatted down to pick up the bowl, Conan saw Xiaolan stagger. He leaned over and touched Xiaolan's forehead, and it was indeed a little hot.
Seeing that the director was trying to trick Xiaolan into acting, Conan quickly squeezed in between them and said, "I want to eat curry rice!"
After learning that this was a Chinese restaurant and there was no curry rice, he threw a tantrum and asked Xiaolan to take him back. In order to get Xiaolan to leave early and go to the hospital, Conan completely cried like a child.
However, Xiaolan just regarded this as the child's talk and did not take it seriously. Instead, she picked up a steamed bun from the table and gave it to him to eat.
Conan glared at the steamed dumpling in front of him and puffed up his cheeks in anger. This woman was really too much and didn't understand his good intentions at all.
However, considering that Xiaolan picked it up for him personally, he would do him the favor and eat it.
So Conan turned the table and prepared to get the vinegar. As he was too short, he could only support himself on the table with one hand and reach forward with the other hand to turn the turntable on the table. However, just as he turned to the right place and before he could get the vinegar, the turntable turned back with a whoosh.
Conan was stunned for a moment, then resigned himself to continuing to spin the turntable. However, just as the turntable reached its position and before he could reach out his hand, the turntable was moved away again.
Conan's unwillingness to admit defeat emerged again, and he turned the turntable again. However, just as Isohei Hirozo was about to turn it again to carry out his murder method, Chu Ming pressed the table, took the vinegar and handed it to Conan, and glanced at Isohei Hirozo with a meaningful look.
So when Conan turned the turntable to get the chili oil again, Isohei Zang stayed still and didn't move. He waited until Conan had taken all the chili oil before turning the table.
At this time, Director Kawabata was talking to Xiaolan about her favorite star. Remembering that Xiaolan seemed to be expressing her love for Sharon, he decisively turned on the system's camera function.
Sure enough, Xiaolan said with longing on her face that her two favorite stars were her mother's friend Kudo Yukiko and Sharon Binyard, whom she had met in the United States before, and she praised them to the skies.
"Oh, I didn't expect you like it--uh..." Kawabata Shiro was halfway through his words when he suddenly stood up with cold sweat on his face, holding his neck tightly, his face full of pain, and fell on the chair with a thud.
Kogoro Mori stood up immediately, confirmed that Kawabata Shiro was no longer breathing, called the police, and ordered the protection of the scene.
Soon, a police officer who looked very similar to Officer Yokomizo led a team to the scene. After inspecting the scene and confirming that the deceased died of potassium cyanate, he couldn't help but complain: "What's going on recently? It's either potassium cyanate or arsenic, or caustic soda. These poisons are obviously strictly controlled. Where did these murderers get these poisons recently...Did the victim eat anything before he died?"
"We had roast duck." Chu Ming was standing on the side. Hearing this, he looked up and told Yokomizo Shigeo.
"Then who is sitting next to him?" Yokomizo Shigego asked.
Chu Ming did not continue to answer his question at this time, but looked at Isogai Hizo on the other side of the table: "Mr. Isogai, do you want to surrender?"
???
Yokomizo Shigego was surprised: "You know who the murderer is? Oh! I know, are you Mr. Chu Ming?"
Chu Ming blinked. Is he already so famous?
Maori Kogoro looked at Yokomizo Shigego, and after a while he suddenly realized: "You are Officer Yokomizo??? Could it be that you had your hair shaved off because you made trouble at work, and you feel embarrassed to face us old friends, so you pretend not to know us? Hahaha, as friends, we will definitely not laugh at you, hahahahaha——"
Yokomizo Shigego gritted his teeth and said, "You must be the sleepy Kogoro that my brother mentioned. My brother is Yokomizo Sango, a police officer in Shizuoka Prefecture. My name is Yokomizo Shigego, and I am in Kanagawa."
Chu Ming was a little curious: "What did your brother tell you?"
"He said that he had admired Detective Maori very much before, because Detective Maori helped him solve many cases, especially because Detective Maori was accompanied by a baby-faced boy, who was sharp-tongued, observant, and every word he said was profound. He could often use his words to make criminals suddenly realize their true colors or kneel down to repent. He was basically always right on target and had never made a wrong judgment on a murderer. Before many people had figured out the clues, his strong intuition would allow him to select the murderer, and then with his words, he could make the murderer confess..."
Yokomizo Shigego said a lot of things, and except for the first sentence which mentioned Mori Kogoro, the rest were all sentences praising Chu Ming. He praised Chu Ming as unparalleled in the world, but he successfully made Mori Kogoro angry.
That’s too much. I will never help that Coral Head solve a case again!
Chapter 284 Sister, You Have a Little Fan
Feeling happy after being praised, Chu Ming turned around and looked at Isogami Hirozo with a smile: "How about it, Mr. Isogami, have you made up your mind now?"
Yokomizo Shigego also stared over with sharp eyes. He also wanted to see the style of the king of trash talk as his brother called him.
Isosuke Hizo's full beard concealed his expression well: "What are you thinking about? I'm so far away from Mr. Kawabata, how can I poison him?"
Chu Ming picked up the towel on his desk and shook it gently: "Of course I used this. Why are there traces of Mr. Kawabata wiping his pants on your towel? Did you use your own towel to replace his towel?"
Isohei Hirozo didn't expect Chu Ming to point out the problem so directly. It was just as Officer Yokomizo said, this young man was indeed observant and had a sharp eye.
"But what if someone wants to frame me? It was so chaotic just now, what if someone took advantage of the chaos to leave this towel here?" Isosuke Haizang looked calm, as if he had already thought of an excuse.
Seeing that he was unwilling to give in, Chu Ming smiled gently: "Actually, I like people like you who won't cry until they see the coffin. After so many cases, many criminals like to deal with the murder weapon or evidence when no one is paying attention at the scene. I don't know if it's for excitement. Because I have experienced a lot, every time a murder occurs and the scene starts to become chaotic, I will take pictures of it all, just for you murderers who like to ask me for evidence."
Chu Ming opened his mobile phone and played a video. When Mr. Kawabata just fell down, many people at the scene stood up and walked towards him. They did not leave until Maori Kogoro signaled everyone to disperse. Among this group of people, Chu Ming pointed to the person in the picture who was holding a towel and exchanging the towel in front of Kawabata Shiro. It was exactly Isso Hirozo.
"Mr. Isogai, it was so chaotic just now. Was there someone controlling your limbs to exchange towels?" Chu Ming teased him.
