Since Brother Chu Ming was forcing himself to smile and only reported good news but not bad news, she would cooperate with him and pretend that she had not seen what happened before.
She clenched her fists, her smile uglier than crying: "Really, Brother Chu Ming? If there really comes a day like that, I don't know how to thank you..."
Chu Ming looked at Huibara Ai who suddenly burst into tears of joy and was stunned for half a second. What's wrong? Isn't this just a habitual promise? You're so excited that it's hard for me to continue, little sister.
Chapter 369 Walking Sideways
Chu Ming was stunned by Haibara Ai's sudden excitement and could only squat down to calm her down. As a result, the two of them were not on the same channel at all.
Chu Ming scratched his head as he looked at Haibara Ai who was getting more and more excited the more he coaxed her. It seemed that Haibara Ai was really scared by the organization. She was so moved that she could find psychological support when she heard such obviously unrealistic things.
He could only bring her into Agasa's house, pour her a glass of water, and let her calm down.
Without Chu Ming's comfort, Haibara Ai quickly calmed down.
The main thing was that the more gently Chu Ming comforted her, the more Huibara Ai imagined how he endured humiliation and struggled to survive in the organization, and her emotions became more uncontrollable.
After Haibara Ai calmed down and chatted with Chu Ming for a while, she saw Conan and Professor Agasa coming in.
"Hey, Brother Chu Ming, why are you here? Have you finished your work at the company?" Conan asked casually when he came in and saw Chu Ming sitting on the sofa.
"I'm done. The software company had a chat room upgrade project a long time ago. The person in charge told me a few days ago that the project was basically completed and the only thing left was bug analysis. I went to check it out and the software will be available on the market in a while." Chu Ming moved aside to make room for Conan.
Dr. Agasa was the first to respond: "Okay, I'll be the first to download and support you then."
Conan leaned back on the sofa and was about to say something when he suddenly moved closer to observe carefully: "Brother Chu Ming, was someone kicking you? Why is there a faint footprint here?"
Huiyuan Ai's face changed slightly. Why did this great detective bring up something irrelevant? He changed the subject himself until now, and now you bring it up again as soon as you come back! !
Chu Ming didn't care and patted him casually: "It's still the same fighting coach from before. I practiced with him before I came back."
Conan thought of the coach Chu Ming mentioned when he asked about the bruises on Chu Ming's hands, and teased, "The coach who fought with you for 800 rounds, got beaten by you, and cried and begged you not to continue?"
"Puff——cough cough cough" Haibara Ai accidentally spat out a mouthful of water and kept choking and coughing.
Huiyuan Ai subconsciously thought of Gin, and then couldn't help it...
"Look, even Haibara thinks it's ridiculous. She was beaten so hard that her hands were bruised, but she still boasted..." Although Conan is a keen observer, he is not as meticulous as Haibara Ai. He just complained.
But after hearing this, Haibara Ai felt even more distressed as it further confirmed the difficult situation Chu Ming was having in the organization.
Damn violent maniac, Gin is really not a good thing!!!
Chu Ming didn't let Conan say too much and changed the subject directly: "Didn't Dr. Agasa say he was going to meet a friend? Why did he bring you here?"
Conan thought Chu Ming was being too proud, but he continued, "I came to look for you. I happened to meet the doctor's car on the road, but your door was closed, so I came here with the doctor first."
Chu Ming took out his cell phone, the screen was blank: "You didn't call me?"
"I called before, but the call didn't go through. Didn't you receive it?" Conan looked puzzled. "I called several times, but you didn't answer."
"No, you must have dialed the wrong number, I don't have any record here."
"Brother Chu Ming, where is your company? Have you gone to a place with no signal in the mountains?" Conan couldn't help but complain, "Only if you go to a place with no signal, the number I called will not be displayed."
Chu Ming's eyes moved slightly. There was no signal... It should be the time when he was in the underground base. He turned off the screen and said with a look of realization: "That's probably it. The company has turned on the signal jammer during this period. After all, you know that the most feared thing about new software like this is that the news will be known by competitors."
Conan didn't take it personally, but got straight to the point: "This is what happened. Didn't Hattori invite us to watch his kendo match last time? It just so happens that I've always wanted to eat at Hattori's house but never got to. Hattori wanted me to get there early to cheer him on, but the tickets my uncles and his friends had booked would mean the match would be halfway through, and they were worried if I left alone, so it's a good idea for us to leave together!"
"Kendo competition? Oh yes, he called me. I forgot about it because the company was too busy during this period." Chu Ming remembered the call that Hattori called him two months ago. It had been too long and so many things had happened during this period that he really didn't remember it.
"Then I'll come to see you tomorrow morning, or let the doctor take us to the platform?" Conan turned his gaze to Dr. Agasa.
"Don't bother me, Doctor. I can drive." Chu Ming stood up and prepared to say goodbye. "I haven't been home for a long time. I'll go back and pack my things first."
After saying goodbye to a few people, Chu Ming took out his cell phone as he walked back and told his boss that he was going to Osaka for a stroll. He also told the boss not to get distracted by the person who was sent by the boss to discuss matters related to the handover of the succession. He also sent his treasured emoticon package to the boss.
After a while, the BOSS replied, saying that Chu Ming could go to Osaka first to contact the relevant forces of the organization, so that he could work and play at the same time. At the same time, he highly praised the quality of Chu Ming's emoticons.
When Chu Ming saw that Karasuma Renya replied to his message almost immediately, he knew that his recuperation was over. He couldn't help but complain in a roundabout way that Gin took him away and beat him up, and even took a picture of the shoe prints that were almost unrecognizable to show him.
Then he added fuel to the fire and wrote a short essay to plead sympathy with the boss, saying that because the action team was directly under the boss's jurisdiction, Gin always secretly bullied his poor little heir behind the boss's back.
Things like using him as a mop to mop the floor of the base and kicking him out of the car, all these behaviors are outrageous!
Finally, the reason why Gin is so arrogant is summarized. It is because he thinks he is second only to the BOSS and is above everyone else. He does not take the BOSS's designated successor seriously at all. This is not only a contempt for him, but also a contempt for the BOSS and a disregard for the orders given by the BOSS!
For this kind of person, he should go to the United States to study more instead of sitting around in Japan doing nothing and bullying the weak.
Chu Ming stroked his chin. He could send Gin out first and not rush to ask the boss for Gin's power. Once Gin left, no one in the country could control him. The boss ignored worldly matters in order to live forever. He was familiar with the action team. Without Gin, he could order anyone around. Wouldn't he be able to run rampant in Japan?
Chapter 370 I'm so touched
Unfortunately, the boss never replied to the essay he had carefully written. Chu Ming didn’t care about it, as it was just a daily reminder.
I guess BOSS0 has gone to recuperate again, how pitiful. Although he doesn't understand research in this area, he can protect Conan's life and provide BOSS with an alternative kind of immortality.
Chu Ming put his phone in his pocket and strolled back home. He would go to bed early tonight because it would be lively tomorrow when the three Grim Reapers gathered together.
The next day, Chu Ming was awakened by Conan's shouting downstairs. He opened the window and accurately threw the key to Conan from the window, asking him to come in and wait first, and then he slowly got up.
Conan ran upstairs and stood beside the bed, staring at Chu Ming: "Didn't Chu Ming get up at five in the morning to exercise? It's already past eight! If you don't hurry up, you'll miss the finals with Hattori!"
Chu Ming was neither hurried nor slow, and never mentioned getting up at five o'clock: "Don't worry, there's still time."
After saying that, he deliberately washed himself in slow motion, which made Conan so angry that he kept circling around his legs. Chu Ming's points kept rising.
After Chu Ming collected all the points that had disturbed his sweet dreams early in the morning, he quickened his pace to take Conan out.
After Hattori made three urging phone calls, the two finally stood at the door of the Naniwa Central Gymnasium. They were delayed for a while by Chu Ming, and it was estimated that the final was about to begin.
I thought that since Hattori was in such a hurry, he must have been waiting at the door a long time ago, but I didn't see him after looking for a long time. He didn't answer the phone, so I didn't know if he was in the competition.
Chu Ming could only take Conan to the competition venue inside to see if he could see anyone from Hattori's school's kendo club, or if he could meet Kazuha.
However, when they were halfway there, Chu Ming and Conan knew where Hattori had gone.
There were two people talking on the side of the road. Someone found a body in a warehouse. When the police arrived, the warehouse was empty. However, they received a call asking them to go to the shower room, where they found the missing body.
Conan stopped dead in his tracks when he heard there was a murder: "I know where Hattori is."
"I know that too." Chu Ming looked at the topographic map on the side of the road, found the location of the warehouse and the shower room, and walked forward with Conan, "You and Hattori are both like this. When you see a murder, it's like you've installed a shielding device and you can't hear anything."
"I'm not like him." Conan curled his lips, "But this case is very strange. The body certainly can't teleport. Since it first appeared in the warehouse and then called the police to go to another crime scene, it means that the murderer wants to divert people's attention from the warehouse. Brother Chu Ming, we don't need to rush to find Hattori, why don't we go to the warehouse first?"
"...and said that you are different from him. But I think Hattori should be in the warehouse as well. He should have thought of what you have thought of." Chu Ming walked towards the warehouse, but met Kazuha halfway.
She was also surprised to see Chu Ming and Conan: "You are all here, but where is Xiao Lan? Why didn't I see her?"
Chu Ming pushed Conan forward: "It's because Conan is clamoring to see his brother Heiji, saying that he must see his brother Heiji's heroic performance on the field. He can't wait to come with Xiaolan and the others, so he insisted on asking me to bring him here first. How about it, has the Hattori competition started?"
Kazuha was also a little anxious: "The competition has already started, but Hattori is so determined to solve the case that he refuses to go back to the competition. If he wasn't here, Okita alone would be able to destroy our school's kendo club!"
Chu Ming looked at He Ye's anxious expression. This girl was blindly confident in Hattori, but even if Hattori passed, he couldn't escape the fate of being defeated, right? At most, he would lose in a more beautiful way?
But how can watching a stranger get beaten up be as satisfying as watching someone you know get beaten up?
Chu Ming immediately agreed to help Kazuha persuade Hattori to return to the competition, and then followed Kazuha to find Hattori standing in the warehouse with a frown, and Officer Otaki who was asking about the circumstances of the case.
Chu Ming pretended to inspect the scene, listened to Officer Otaki's description of the situation, pushed open the vaulting box in the warehouse in front of everyone, looked at the red paint splashed inside, then patted Conan beside him, signaling him to use his buff of answering every question and granting every request, and asked the police investigator to check. They saw that the red color on the box where the body was leaning was the blood of the deceased.
Conan came back soon, his eyes full of thought: "The surveyor told me that this is not blood, but paint, including the inside of the box, this is paint..."
……
"I understand!" Conan and Hattori shouted at the same time. Hattori had just seen Conan and Chu Ming when they came, and wanted to explore with them, but after hearing Chu Ming's hint, they both understood instantly, staring at Xiao Techuan Jun with burning eyes, "The murderer is you!"
Just as Hattori was about to give a long speech, Chu Ming interrupted him: "Okay, Hattori, you should go prepare for the competition. The case has been solved. Leave the rest to us. You should follow He Ye."
Kazuha also reacted, and quickly grabbed Hattori's hand and ran to the competition venue: "Yes, Brother Chu Ming is here, you have solved the puzzle anyway, hurry up and come back with me to prepare, don't you want to have a world showdown with Okita!"
"Wait, but I—"
"No buts, go compete, Heiji, you idiot!"
Looking at Hattori being dragged away, Chu Ming couldn't help but lower his head and complain to Conan: "Hattori can have a world showdown with anyone, either in kendo or reasoning..."
"What on earth are you doing? You're accusing me of being a murderer for no reason. Where's your reason? Where's your evidence?" Kotegawa Jun was so angry that his face turned black. He had prepared a bunch of excuses, but a group of people ignored him? "Is this how you police officers watch a bunch of middle school students messing around at the scene?"
"Don't rush to jail. The scenery and air outside are so nice. I'm letting you experience it for a while. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for several years." Chu Ming's face was full of sarcasm. "You want reasons and evidence...Okay, then let me ask you, didn't you just say that you were the last one to leave the warehouse?"
"Yes, I said I was going to find an ambulance, and then I went to the door and borrowed a cell phone from a high school student who was eating there to make a call. Because the person on the phone wanted me to give the details of the injured, I ran back to the warehouse to check on the specific situation of the victim. After I returned the phone, I rushed to the police station."
"What was it like to meet someone at that time?" Chu Ming asked casually.
"His chest and face were covered in blood. He was leaning on the vaulting horse box with his head tilted, and there was a bloody knife in his arms." Kotegawa Jun, who had already thought of all the answers, blurted out.
"So what did you say to the ambulance?"
"I said he was stabbed with a knife, covered in blood, and couldn't feel his breath."
"In other words, have you confirmed that he is not breathing?" Chu Ming pressed on.
"Correct!"
Otegawa Shun's face is full of humiliation after being wrongly accused. To be honest, his acting is really good.
Chu Ming analyzed slowly: "That's strange, the police just tested it here, and there is no blood on the vaulting horse box, but paint.
I think you must have knocked Tarimiya unconscious, painted him with paint, faked the illusion that he was dead, and then sent everyone away, returned to the warehouse alone, and woke up the sleeping Tarimiya. Then you showed him the body of Hakamada disguised as a model hidden in the vaulting box. Tarimiya thought he had killed the person he hated after being drunk, and in panic, he naturally did everything you said to get away with it.
You asked him to put the bloody clothes into the protective gear bag, put the knife into the bamboo sword bag, and go to the shower room to clean the blood, but you rushed in first, killed him, and turned on the shower to wash off the paint on Tarimi's body. "
As soon as Chu Ming finished speaking, Xiao Techuan Jun stood up and sneered: "These are all your guesses! I've seen you in the newspaper before. You are Fujino Chu Ming, right? Don't think that you are great just because you followed Detective Maori and solved a few cases. You can frame good people at will! I think you paid for the report in the newspaper. The things about seeing through the truth at a glance and crushing the criminal's heart with sharp words must be exaggerated!"
Chu Ming was not angered by his words, but rather a little excited. He felt the treatment that he did not feel in Tokyo, but he did in Osaka.
Someone recognize him!
Someone actually recognized him at the crime scene!
So touching!
Chapter 371 Is there anything more enjoyable than watching your friends get beaten?
However, although he was touched, Chu Ming looked at the angry Xiao Techuanjun and said, "The police have just searched the entire school. The evidence you want will probably be delivered soon."
Speak of the devil, a police officer came in carrying a protective gear bag stuffed full of things. "Officer Dalong, we found this outside the shower room in the locker room, hidden in the bushes. We also found a footprint next to the protective gear bag, 26 centimeters long. It is estimated that it was left by a male about meters tall."
Everyone turned their eyes to Otegawa Jun, who was indeed 1.75 meters tall.
Kotegawa Jun took two steps back, still refusing to let go: "There are so many people participating in the competition at Naniwa Stadium today, and there are so many people who are 1.75 meters tall. Why are you all staring at me?"
