Vodka was suddenly called and was startled. His face twisted when he heard what Chu Ming said. Is that so?
If being bullied for no reason is considered not mean... then it is more than just not mean, it is too mean, the kind of meanness that cannot be described in words!
When Vodka was called up, he brought down a long box. When he saw Chu Ming asking him, he pushed the box forward.
Chu Ming opened the box and found a Barrett M82A1. Vodka smiled innocently and said, "I heard that Cohen and the others said that your sniping ability has surpassed theirs. I asked someone to bring this over from the United States."
Vermouth also stood up and handed over the gift box she had prepared, smiling: "I thought the gift I gave was the most expensive, but Lafitte got the first place."
Inside the box was a key, a Lamborghini car key.
Vermouth put one hand on Chu Ming's shoulder, turned her head and winked at Chu Ming: "This is Lamborghini's latest new car, the Lamborghini RAPTOR. I had someone buy it and ship it back to China right after it was exhibited. It's currently in the garage. Of course, to celebrate your turning 18, my sweetheart, I can also pack myself up as a gift for you~"
Knowing that Vermouth was joking, Chu Ming turned around and looked at Gin with a smile: "Brother~"
Gin looked up nonchalantly: "Didn't I give it to you last time?"
???
Chu Ming was deeply distressed: "I don't think that the P226 I used last time can reflect the love and care that Big Brother has for me. Don't you have a more powerful expression?"
"More powerful?" Gin suddenly glanced at Chu Ming, "Last time I said I would train you after you came back from the mission, let's go now."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Do you think this is human language?
Chapter 298 Karuizawa
Chu Ming finally came out of the training ground with sore body.
Although Gin didn't hit Chu Ming in the face because it was his birthday, because Chu Ming's abilities were getting stronger and stronger, Gin found that it was difficult to defeat Chu Ming even with all his strength later on, and he couldn't hold back his strength. But even so, Chu Ming hit Gin quite a few times, and he managed to barely hold back the upper hand.
By this calculation, if I wait until my fighting level reaches 100 and then spend money on a breakthrough pill, I will probably be able to fight Gin on equal terms.
Gin refused to take Chu Ming out to set off bomb fireworks. Chu Ming thought that Gin must be too embarrassed to take him out because he had just been punched by him.
Oh, man, I see through it.
After watching Gin receive the news of a traitor and hurriedly leave with Vodka, Chu Ming and Vermouth looked at each other with the eyes of a senior slacker. Vermouth smiled and said, "Sweetheart, do you want to invite those friends you made outside to a party for your birthday? It's a good opportunity to deepen your relationship with them?"
Chu Ming was a little tempted. His points were a little tight recently. Why not invite Conan to the hotel to celebrate his birthday? Maybe he could get some points this way...
"Where do you think is a good place to hold a birthday party?"
Vermouth tapped her chin and thought for a while: "A new building has just been built in Seymour City. It is said that there is a luxurious restaurant on the top floor of the building. Unfortunately, it has not opened yet. After it opens, I will take you to see it?"
Eating and drinking on public funds, right? You are worthy of it. Unfortunately, he probably won't be able to eat this meal. From this point of view, the traitor that Gin and his friends went out to kill this time is most likely Yuan Jiaming.
He has been wandering around outside for so long, and last time he even went to Nishitama City with Kogoro Mori and the others, but he hasn't heard of any new buildings being built there... Are all the buildings in the world of science built overnight?
"By the way, let's go to the hotel in Karuizawa? The weather is hot recently, and you can also treat your friends to the beach~" Vermouth suggested with a smile.
"So, sister - are you going to go there just like that? Are you going to disguise yourself as Dr. Shinde?"
Chu Ming looked at Vermouth sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking charming and seductive.
"Sister, I won't go. If I go, the woman from the FBI will follow me by smelling the scent. I have booked a private room for you in the hotel. Have fun with your friends~" Vermouth stood up. "I'm going to catch up on my sleep. Girls will have wrinkles on their faces if they don't get enough sleep for 8 hours~ And I recently found the house that Sister Shirley rented. I have to go and see if I can find any clues when I wake up, otherwise Gin will keep asking me for them."
Watching Vermouth leave, Chu Ming put away his gifts and then thought about inviting a few people.
The Mori family must be invited, and Professor Agasa's children should be brought along, in case they stay with Conan for a long time, they may come in handy... By the way, call Hattori over, oh, if you don't count, you won't know, his social circle is really narrow...

By the swimming pool of Karuizawa Hotel.
Kogoro Mouri was sitting with his legs crossed, watching the girls playing in the water with an intoxicated look on his face. Suddenly, he felt a creepy gaze staring at him. He looked up in confusion and saw that there seemed to be a raging fire behind his daughter.
"Really? Dad actually came to the swimming pool to enjoy himself in his beach pants. Aren't we here to celebrate Brother Chu Ming's birthday? Come on, get up, let's go pick out a present." Xiaolan shouted to Maori Kogoro with her hands on her hips.
Kogoro Mouri got up reluctantly, put on his clothes and followed Xiaolan to the store to help her consider gifts, muttering to himself as he walked.
"I can't help it. As a detective, especially a very famous detective, I'm usually under so much pressure! Xiaolan, you don't know how to be considerate of your old father. I have to find some opportunities to relieve the pressure!"
"So sitting there and looking at the pretty girl is relieving your stress? Are you being honest with your mother?" Xiaolan said indignantly.
Maori Kogoro choked for a moment, then said stubbornly, "How have I done anything wrong to her? Besides, she doesn't know what I'm doing. Maybe she's with someone now? Forget it. There's a tie shop in front. Why don't I pick out a tie clip for him?"
"What? Dad didn't really want to buy a gift... uh..."
Xiaolan casually glanced inside the store and suddenly froze.
When Kogoro Mouri saw her stop, he looked in the direction she was looking in surprise, and saw Eri Kisaki holding a tie and gesturing at a man's chest twice. From a distance, it looked a little ambiguous.
! ! ! !
--------
Chu Ming has booked a private room in a hotel in Karuizawa. Now Conan and a few children are diligently helping him decorate the room. Hattori was originally invited, but Hattori really doesn't have much time to go to Tokyo recently, so he just said he would send the gifts over.
After a while, Kogoro Mouri and Ran came back with two people.
"Aunt Eri is here. Uncle said you were too busy at work to come over. Have you finished the case you are on?" Chu Ming looked up and saw Aunt Eri Kisaki who came with Kogoro Mouri, and greeted her enthusiastically.
"Chu Ming, happy birthday. This guy didn't even mention your birthday to me, otherwise I would have come no matter how busy I was." Hime glared at Maori Kogoro and handed the gift to Chu Ming. "I happened to come to Karuizawa for vacation with some lawyer friends, and I ran into Xiaolan and the others outside, otherwise I would have missed them."
"Oh? Really, with a colleague~" Maori Kogoro said sarcastically, "Then who did you buy your tie for?"
Hime Eri gritted her teeth and said, "A friend of mine asked me to buy it, so I asked Saku to help me choose the pattern, right, Saku?"
Saku Norifumi at the side said with an exaggerated expression: "Eh? After all this time, it turns out it's not for me. I thought you wanted to buy it for me as a gift~ I was so happy for nothing."
Tsk tsk, that's quite telling.
Chu Ming helped Fei Yingli out of the predicament and enthusiastically invited her, "Aunt Yingli, why don't you invite your colleagues to come and play together? It will be more fun when there are more people!"
Conan's halo can only be activated when there are many people!
Chapter 299: Are there any more gifts?
After Fei Yingli's friends arrived, Chu Ming began to notify the hotel to start serving the food.
The dishes were ordered for him by Vermouth. It was not obvious when they were first served, but as time went on, the dishes became more and more luxurious. The fruit after the meal was even made by the chef who carved a Densuke black-skinned watermelon into the shape of a blessing and placed the watermelon flesh inside. Chu Ming knew that Vermouth, this salary thief, must have embezzled a lot of the organization's funds.
"I heard that the first Densuke black-skinned watermelon in Hokkaido this year was just auctioned yesterday. The watermelons that pass through the auction house will have marked marks on them. Could this be the watermelon?" Usui Ritsuko clasped her hands together and looked at Chu Ming in surprise, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
"What is Densuke black watermelon?" Ayumi asked curiously.
Mitsuhiko raised his finger, his face full of pride: "I know, 'Densuke' is the name of a black-skinned watermelon variety produced in Hokkaido. It is famous for its large size, thick skin, and special sweetness. Only more than 100 are produced in Hokkaido each year. It is said that the auction price of the first watermelon can reach or each year."
Yuan Tai took a look at the watermelon in his hand, his face full of shock: "Then this piece of watermelon can buy a whole truck of eel rice!!"
Chu Ming ignored Usui Ritsuko and said to the children with a smile: "It's a watermelon. As long as you think it tastes good, it doesn't matter how much it costs. I'll take you to China if I have the chance. It's cheap and plentiful, and you can even eat as much as you want."
"Wow——" Several children looked longing, "Is China so great?"
Usui Ritsuko felt ignored and was stunned for a moment. After all, she was a great beauty with outstanding looks. With the aura of a lawyer, she could quickly make men surrender with a little admiration. They might not obey her in everything, but at least they would be polite to her.
Her dream is to surpass Fei Yingli and become the number one in the legal world. Looking at today's banquet, she knew that Chu Ming's financial resources were definitely not low. He might be the son of a chaebol and should be able to give her a lot of help... But the beauty trap suddenly suffered a Waterloo and Chu Ming ignored him completely.
She was a little unwilling, and continued to smile and walked forward, picked up the glass and poured a glass of wine for Chu Ming: "Mr. Chu Ming, thank you for your hospitality today. We had such a great meal. I toast you~"
? ? ? ?
There are villains who want to harm me!!!
Chu Ming frowned: "Ms. Usui, I'm sorry, but I'm not yet an adult and can't drink."
"Eh?" Usui Ritsuko was stunned. "Mr. Chu Ming is not yet an adult??? But aren't you already in college?"
Chu Ming maintained a polite smile, but his words were cold: "Because I am gifted and skipped a grade, Miss Usui, as a lawyer, you should know that the law clearly stipulates that minors cannot drink, right?"
Of course, Usui Ritsuko knew that minors were not allowed to drink, but couldn't this man be more gentle and say it in a tactful way? How embarrassed she was!
Usui Ritsuko returned to her seat angrily. If that was the case, there was only one way to surpass Hime Eri.
Her eyes slowly swept over Maori Kogoro, she sat back with a charming smile, and started talking to Maori Kogoro.
Maori Kogoro was particularly happy after drinking and having a beautiful woman to chat with him. He even held Usui Ritsuko's hand and put it on his chest with a lewd look: "Ms. Usui, your hands are so smooth and small..."
Xiaolan was so angry that she clenched her fists and stared at Mouri Kogoro. If she hadn't remembered that this was Chu Ming's birthday party, she would even want to overturn the whole table on Mouri Kogoro.
Dr. Agasa, who was standing by, saw that something was wrong and quickly pointed at the cake at the door: "Hey, the cake is here, kids, come and sing a birthday song for your brother Chu Ming?"
After Chu Ming made his wish and cut the cake, and the children began to share the cake enthusiastically, Fei Yingli made an excuse to leave, and Xiaolan hurriedly chased after her.
Chu Ming thought about it, stayed with her for a while, then went back to his room with a pile of gifts to open them.
Chu Ming sat cross-legged on the bed and unpacked the gift boxes one by one.
Conan gave a complete set of Sherlock Holmes's detective stories, Xiaolan gave a car ornament, and Sonoko couldn't come because her father had to take her to a business banquet today, so she asked Xiaolan to bring her a watch.
Some children gave small items they made by hand, Huiyuan gave a wallet, and Dr. Agasa gave a small invention he developed himself...
Chu Ming deeply felt the joy of opening the blind box.
Just as he started to organize the gifts, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. It was Hime Eri, Xiaolan and Conan looking for Mouri Kogoro.
"When I left, Uncle Maori was chatting with Miss Usui. Then he got drunk and said he was going back to his room. What happened? Did the uncle disappear?"
Chu Ming picked up the coat on the chair and put it on: "I'll go with you to look for it. Ask Miss Usui. Their room is on the same floor. They should have returned together."
Several people went to Usui Ritsuko's room together, but Usui Ritsuko said that she went straight back to her room after she separated from Mori Kogoro, and she didn't know where he was.
Chu Ming looked at the focus belonging to Kogoro Mouri appearing in her room, and then looked at Ritsuko Usui who was lying with open eyes, blocking the door with no intention of letting them in, and did not try to intervene.
Anyway, this case will better promote the relationship between Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki. Considering the gifts they gave today, Chu Ming did not make any noise to interfere and just watched the development of the plot silently.
Unable to find anyone, Kisaki Eri finally suspected that Mouri Kogoro was in Usui Ritsuko's room. After calling to confirm, she asked the waiter to get a spare key and entered the room. She found that Usui Ritsuko had been killed beside the bed, and Mouri Kogoro was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
After everyone determined that Kogoro Mori was the murderer, Eri Kisaki calmly found out the truth and rescued Kogoro Mori, which led to Mori confessing his true feelings to her and persuading Eri Kisaki to go home.
Although pretending not to hear anything, Hime Eri actually recorded all the love words that Mouri Kogoro said, and took away Xiaolan's floppy disk. She probably went back and played them over and over again.
Chu Ming, who received the magnetic field on his birthday, returned to the base happily and found two packed gift boxes in the base.
And gifts?
Probably the only ones in the organization who know his identity are Rum and the boss, right?
Wow, is the boss so good? He gave me the Dusk Annex and gave me an extra gift.
