Has he already guessed Conan's true identity or is he just testing him?
It should be a test, or maybe they think Conan is related to Yukiko, but they didn't expect Conan to be Shinichi Kudo...
Vermouth stroked the wine glass in her hand. Recently, whenever she wanted to separate Granburr and Conan, she failed.
The more he tried to separate them, the more Granburch's mission came together with Conan. Is this really a coincidence?
Vermouth tapped the table lightly, her pretty eyebrows slightly lowered, and picked up her phone to send a message.
——o(′^｀)o——
At this time, Chu Ming was surrounded by Yukiko and Kisaki Eri on the left and right.
On the left is Yukiko's sweet and lovely look: "Xiao Chu Ming, if it were you, would you vote for me or for that serious and stiff old woman~"
On the right is the mature and intellectual face of Hibiki Eri: "Chu Ming, don't worry and don't be scared by a few words from that crazy woman."
"..." Chu Ming was attacked by two people and his face was blank.
How did things get to this point? Wasn't he here to take on the mission?
Originally, everyone wanted to ask Chio Fujieda about the details of the threatening letter, but because he was reading in the study at the time and hated being disturbed, everyone could only chat while watching the surveillance video in the study.
Somehow they brought up the so-called princess and queen election in Teidan that year. Because there was no winner that year, looking at Chu Ming, the only person with more judgment in the field, the two of them gathered around him.
Conan and Xiaolan looked at Chu Ming who was surrounded with helplessness, especially Xiaolan, who was just being chased by the two men because of the ballot in Mouri Kogoro's pocket, and she retreated several steps.
Chu Ming stared at Xiaolan with resentful eyes.
Xiaolan, you have changed. Where is the little angel you promised to be? How can you act like you would rather die than let your friends die?
Looking at the two pairs of eyes full of urging on both sides, Chu Ming tried to think for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer.
In fact, if he really had to choose, he would prefer the Vermouth one.
Compared with sexiness, intelligence and sweetness are nothing.
Just at this moment, Chio Fujieda in the surveillance camera suddenly stood up and raised his hand. Chu Ming quickly pointed at the surveillance camera to change the subject.
"Look, what is Mr. Fujieda doing? Is someone forcing him?"
"That's impossible." The old housekeeper also came to the surveillance camera, "When I delivered the coffee just now, I clearly confirmed that the door was locked from the inside."
Fujieda Moka stared at the monitor and exclaimed in shock: "The master fell down! What happened!"
Several people came to Fujieda Chio's door. Chu Ming pushed it twice and found that the door was indeed locked.
Seeing that the housekeeper had gone out to get the key and no one knew when he would be back, Chu Ming pulled Fujieda Shige away and kicked the door open.
Chapter 343 Let’s meet by chance
"Bam—"
"Bang bang—"
The sound of the door being kicked open was mixed with the sound of gunfire. Chu Ming looked at the magnetic field surging towards him, then looked at the butler standing by the window with a gun in his hand and Fujieda Chihiro lying dead on the spot, and he stopped where he was.
When Inspector Megure arrived quickly, he found that there was no need for the detective to make any deductions this time, as he had been caught in the act again.
While everyone was listening to the butler talking about his motive for murder, Kisaki Eri took this opportunity to ask Fujieda Moka, who was sitting on the sofa pretending to be sad, for the commission fee.
"But you failed to protect my husband, and now you're asking me for money?" Fujieda Moka obviously wanted to default on her debt.
Talking about this is what Eri Kisaki is good at. It is obviously impossible to deny a debt in front of a professional lawyer.
Kisaki Eri took out the contract they signed at the time, pointed at the terms in the contract and said with full aura: "But according to the contract we signed, look at this clause, we did not mention the need to protect Mr. Fujieda's safety. On the contrary, according to this clause, as long as we find the suspect who threatens Mr. Fujieda, we will have fulfilled the contract..."
Fujieda Suka, who was dizzy with the narration of Kisaki Eri one by one, surrendered decisively: "Give it, give it, give it, why can't I give it? Anyway, my husband is dead, I can get so much inheritance, it's not difficult to pay this little money."
Thinking that she would soon receive a large inheritance, Fujieda Moka happily paid the commission out of her own pocket. Unfortunately, when she saw Fujieda Chio's will, she instantly lost her composure.
Chio Fujieda made a will that made Toru Amuro ecstatic, stating that if he died an unnatural death, all his relatives would not get a penny, and he would hand over all his inheritance to the country.
Looking at Fujieda Soka who looked like she had lost her parents, Kisaki Eri took the commission fee and signaled everyone to leave quickly.
After completing the task, Chu Ming glanced at the small map, said goodbye to Conan and the others, did not follow them back to the detective agency, and then turned and entered a convenience store.
After going out from the back door of the convenience store, Chu Ming returned to the front door again. Looking at Amuro Toru who slowly walked in, Chu Ming narrowed his eyes and walked straight forward to block his way.
"Mr. Amuro, is this such a coincidence?"
Toru Amuro turned around and was slightly startled.
He arrived near Fujieda's house after receiving the mission from Vermouth. When he arrived, he saw the yard full of police cars, so he hid nearby and did not go in.
As a result, when he was lurking nearby, he saw Chu Ming, the little boy and the police walking out the door together.
After the police left, he secretly asked the people in the villa and found out that it was the villa's housekeeper who killed Fujieda Chio and was caught on the spot by Chu Ming.
What a coincidence.
How could it be such a coincidence? Vermouth's mission was to kill Chio Fujieda, but the murderer was caught on the spot by Chu Ming, and Chio Fujieda also died.
Could it be that this Fujino Chuming is really Granburch?
This method of completing the task is really similar to Granburch's.
He had inquired about some details of Granburch's missions in the organization. Although he was unable to find out about most of the missions, the most obvious thing about the few murder missions exposed by Vodka was that every time Granburch's target was killed by people around him, and in the end the target died, but Granburch never showed up throughout the whole process. Instead, Fujino Chuming often appeared at the scene.
Toru Amuro originally thought that Granburch completed the task by instigation, but it didn't make sense because none of the murderers had met Chu Ming or Granburch before committing the crime. They all acted out of their own will, either planning for a long time or killing on impulse, without any signs of being instigated.
He also asked the Metropolitan Police Department for all the transcripts related to Chu Ming through the Public Security Bureau, and then found that there was a certain overlap between Chu Ming and Granburch's tasks, and most of the tasks involved Maori Kogoro and the little boy.
In addition, the task that Vermouth gave him today was once again completed in this bizarre way.
Toru Amuro really couldn't guess whether this was a coincidence or not.
If it is not a coincidence, then it means that these detectives who often appear at crime scenes have an unclear relationship with the organization.
However, in general, if Fujino Chuming is really Granburch, then the fact that he was being monitored is likely to have been exposed.
But this brings up a new problem. Given Granburch's caution, he shouldn't have left so many loopholes. After all, this kind of thing would be obviously discovered as long as someone was willing to investigate.
Then why didn't he use the power of the organization to cover it up?
Toru Amuro felt his mind was a mess, so the moment he saw Chu Ming, he subconsciously followed him, and as a result, he was discovered.
It seems that we have been too lax during this period.
This also shows that Chu Ming’s anti-tracking ability is very strong and he is definitely not an ordinary detective.
Amuro Toru smiled in a typical way: "Sir, it is indeed a coincidence."
"Mr. Amuro, have you received a new order?" Chu Ming looked at him suspiciously, "But I didn't see you carrying a repair box? Or - are you following me?"
Looking at Chu Ming who always liked to get straight to the point, Amuro Toru quickly tried to smooth things over: "Sir, you are joking. I just work part-time around here and came to the convenience store to buy some food after work. As for repairing the box, sir, because I am short of money, I have always done all kinds of part-time jobs, not just repairing air conditioners."
Chu Ming didn't say whether he believed it or not. Since Toru Amuro could appear beside him again, it meant that Toru Amuro was suspicious of him again. It looked like it was because of Conan's death god attribute that he probably found out something during this period of time.
However, no matter how much he investigated, he couldn't find anything if he hadn't done anything. He probably wanted to lurk around him now.
Chu Ming's eyes moved slightly. Even if Amuro Toru knew his identity, it would not be a big problem. After all, he had no evidence.
Chu Ming took the initiative to give Amuro Toru a way out: "Mr. Amuro, I haven't thanked you for helping me fix the air conditioner last time. It's a coincidence that we meet. How about I buy you a cup of coffee?"
Toru Amuro didn't know why Chu Ming suddenly became enthusiastic, so he smiled and agreed to the invitation which was exactly what he wanted.
These two people, who had a combined total of 800 smart minds, were both interested in making friends with each other, so their conversation was exceptionally harmonious. It was like they had met too late, and they chatted animatedly and quickly became familiar with each other.
Until the time of separation, both of them seemed reluctant to part.
——Although I know in my heart that I am just pretending.
After Chu Ming returned home, he found that the eyes that had been watching him were gone. It seemed that Toru Amuro had given up on finding someone to watch him. However, during this period of time, he would definitely often run into Toru Amuro on the street by chance.
Chu Ming took out his cell phone, made an appointment with Conan to go out and play together tomorrow, and then lay down on the bed with great interest.
Come meet me, Bourbon, I'll introduce you to the god of death~
Let the red team first doubt each other~
Chapter 344: Does that black guy want to do something bad?
"Brother Chu Ming, since you are driving, let's go pick up the kids first~" Conan opened the car door and climbed into the passenger seat skillfully, "But Brother Chu Ming, your new car is really nice, the Lamborghini RAPTOR, is it the latest car released this year? It is said that it is only available in the United States at present."
"Yes, my sister gave it to me. It's nice, right?" Chu Ming proudly pointed at the steering wheel with his finger.
"The rich lady you mentioned to us last time?" Conan looked lewd. "Giving me a sports car, Brother Chu Ming, you wouldn't really--ahem."
Chu Ming rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Yeah, rich women are great, rich women are wonderful, it's so sweet to be with a rich woman. If you like one, I can introduce you to someone?"
"...No, no." Knowing that Chu Ming was joking, Conan put his hands behind his head, "Several children are waiting at the doctor's house. If we don't go there now, they will probably get impatient. If you take us there, the doctor can stay home to work on his automatic cooking machine."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that they were at the doctor's place..." Chu Ming freed one hand and pressed down Conan's head unhappily, "Didn't I make an extra trip back and forth? The doctor's house is just behind mine! If I had known, I would have gone to pick them up first."
"But without me, how would they dare to ride in your car?" Conan tilted his chin, "Don't be too harsh on them, they are still children, only in the first grade, what do they know?"
Chu Ming rolled his eyes when he heard that. "You, the victim, have nothing to say. What can I say? Besides, I was a little fierce when they made mistakes, but I didn't do anything else... It's all their own imagination. It has nothing to do with me. I didn't even ask them for the self-criticism they asked them to write after they tore it up and gave it to me."
"Yes, yes, brother Chu Ming is very generous~" Conan smiled and flattered a few words. When Chu Ming stopped the car, he leaned over the window and waved to the children who were hiding behind Huiyuan Ai, "Come on, brother Chu Ming will take us to the Beido store."
Chu Ming leaned on the steering wheel and glanced at them. The children followed Huiyuan Ai and got into the car one by one. "Thank you, brother Chu Ming. Sorry to bother you~"
The children thanked them in unison, then sat upright in their seats, which made Conan and Haibara Ai laugh.
I have to say, these kids are very cute when they are not naughty, but it’s a pity that those times are too rare.
Arriving at the Beihu Store, Chu Ming parked the car and took a few people to the nearby Ferris wheel: "What time did you meet with Officer Sato?"
Conan also said in the car just now that today Officer Sato invited them to eat cake to thank them for their help in the case, and they met under the Ferris wheel next to the Haido store.
Conan looked at his watch and said, "There are still twenty minutes left, just enough time to ride the Ferris wheel. These kids are eager to ride the largest Ferris wheel in Japan."
"Then you go up, I'll be waiting for you downstairs." Chu Ming just saw a familiar figure flash by in the crowd. He smiled and bought tickets for a few children, watching them enter the Ferris wheel.
Watching the cabin they were sitting in slowly rising, Chu Ming walked towards the place where the familiar figure had just flashed by. After buying an ice cream, Chu Ming pretended to be surprised and said to Amuro Toru, who was handing out flyers in a uniform next to him: "Mr. Amuro, are you working part-time here again?"
Amuro Toru was also surprised. He handed out the last few flyers in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Mr. Chu Ming, what a coincidence, you come to the amusement park alone? It just so happens that my part-time job has ended. Do you want me to be your guide?"
Chu Ming pointed to the Ferris wheel next to him: "No, I brought a few kids here with me. We are going to meet some friends later..."
——∑(っ°Д°;)っ——
After Conan and a few children came down, Haibara Ai started shaking like a hamster the moment she saw Amuro Toru and hid behind Conan.
