"…Forget about going." Chu Ming stood up and followed Xiaolan and He Ye.
As they walked, He Ye suddenly turned around and looked at Hattori who was explaining the case to her father with confidence and boldness, and suddenly she smiled warmly. As expected, even if she was angry with him, as long as she saw him immersed in the case, she would instantly become happy.
"Let's go, the food in that restaurant is really good." He Ye did not favor one over the other. She held Xiaolan's hand, but would turn her head from time to time to talk to Chu Ming so that he would not be left out.
In the restaurant, Chu Ming held a cup of milk tea, his back pressed tightly against the chair, trying his best to minimize his presence.
Oh no, it was a mistake. I got into a best friend’s trap by mistake.
Looking at the two girls whose eyes sparkled when they mentioned their lovers, and then looking at himself who was out of place between them like a bodyguard, Chu Ming leaned back in his chair in silence, pretending that he did not exist.
The two girls became happier and happier as they chatted, until they were so excited that they shyly turned their heads away, only to notice Chu Ming sitting upright next to them.
(⊙﹏⊙)(′⊙ω⊙`)
The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other randomly, and then sat on both sides of Chu Ming.
"Brother Chu Ming, you won't tell anyone what you said today, right?" This was Xiaolan trying to threaten her.
"Hey, Xiaolan, what are you talking about? Brother Chu Ming is not that kind of person, right?" This is He Ye who is trying to flatter him.
Watching the two people talking in unison, Chu Ming smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I won't tell them."
Seeing that the two were still embarrassed, Chu Ming simply helped them change the subject: "It's getting late, shall we pack something to bring back for them? I think they are hungry too."
——(.-`ω′-)——
In the rain, He Ye and Xiao Lan held umbrellas and walked hurriedly forward, as if there was a ghost chasing them. They really didn't know what expression to use when facing Chu Ming.
Chu Ming was carrying a few packing boxes and was walking at the end with ease. He looked at the two figures in front of him with hurried steps. Wow, they are really two innocent and lovely girls. They are so cheap to those two straight men.
"what--"
The terrified cry made Chu Ming pause for thought. He quickly rushed forward and saw Xiaolan and He Ye lying on the railing of the bridge in shock, looking at the blazing flames under the water.
"What's wrong?" Chu Ming also leaned over to look in the water. A body floating on the water was burning with flames.
At this time, the two of them no longer cared about being shy. Seeing Chu Ming coming over, they seemed to have found their backbone. They quickly grabbed the corners of Chu Ming's sleeves and clothes on the left and right: "Just now, someone set himself on fire and fell down..."
When Conan and others arrived, they saw this scene of someone being hugged by two girls.
The jealousy jar was overturned, and two of them were overturned.
Chapter 376 I really envy Hattori
The two people, who were filled with jealousy, each claimed one and pulled He Ye and Xiao Lan away from Chu Ming.
At this time, the police also salvaged the body from the water. It was the only female in the tour group at that time - Katagiri Maho.
After examining the body, the police stated that although Katagiri Maho lit the fire and then jumped into the water, the real fatal injury was a heavy blow to the back of the head, probably because the back of her head hit the bridge pillar after she fell from the bridge.
Because of the eyewitness testimony from He Ye and others, the police quickly determined that this was a suicide case.
But Hattori obviously didn't believe it. Not only did he not believe it, he also tried to tear off Katagiri Maho's clothes in front of everyone to see if there were any clues he had missed.
No, there are so many people here... Don't be so rough even on a corpse... She is a woman after all...
Conan tried to reach out Erkang's hand to grab him, but failed to grab Hattori who was preoccupied with solving the case at the time.
At this time, Hattori Heizo with a serious look walked a few steps behind Heiji, grabbed Heiji who was squatting on the ground, and punched him hard, knocking Heiji out directly.
Hiss—the police beat people!
Oh, it was your own son who was beaten, so it’s okay.
Hattori half-raised himself and looked at the person who came: "Dad?"
"Heiji, you should know when to be willful. If you destroy the scene, it will bring huge trouble to the police!!"
Humble Maori played the role of peacemaker online: "Don't be too angry, Chief. Heiji just wanted to solve the case using his method... uh"
Hattori Heizo turned around silently and opened his sealed left eye. Mouri Kogoro was like a rooster with its throat pinched, and he immediately stopped talking.
Chu Ming stood aside and silently helped Hattori up. He watched Maori Kogoro try to smooth things over and rolled his eyes quietly. This is not what you usually say when you beat Conan at the crime scene.
However, this time, Hattori Heizo seemed to have done it on purpose. After all, he was reluctant to sacrifice his son to catch the real culprit.
Hattori Heizo turned around and seemed to be talking to Mori Kogoro about Hattori's impulsiveness and nonsense, but in fact every word he said hit Heiji's heart. This might be like pouring cold water on others, but for Heiji it was the most effective way of provoking him.
As Hattori Heizo left, he said something that seemed to be meant for Hattori Heiji and the people watching: "Toyama, pack up and leave. Our police force is not so idle that so many people are handling such a small case."
The family inherited the fishing skill of luring the snake out of its hole, and deliberately gave his reckless son room to perform, and finally caught the whole group in one fell swoop.
It turns out that people with squinty eyes have dirty hearts.
On this side, after Hattori Heizo left, several people surrounded Hattori to comfort him. Maori Kogoro even sang and praised Hattori Heizo's love for his son. They were afraid that Hattori would encounter danger in the case, so even if he played the bad guy and cried secretly, he wanted to keep his son away from such dangerous cases.
Therefore, Uncle Maori's elimination method must be a passive skill. It can be used stably at times like this, giving everyone an answer that is completely opposite to Hattori Heizo's original intention.
Hattori Heiji brushed off the dust on his body and gritted his teeth: "So this is what my father was thinking. Humph, he is doomed to fail! The more you tell me not to do something, the more I will do it. I will find the murderer and smash him in the face today!!"
It was Hattori who got beaten today, so everyone followed his lead and helped him find clues.
Finally, after Xiaolan's umbrella was suddenly blown away, Hattori and Conan finally understood the true meaning of the first victim, Mr. Kato, holding their umbrella and who the real murderer was.
Conan and Hattori left the main group and pulled Chu Ming who was standing nearby with them. They couldn't let him stay any longer, so the three of them sneakily followed Zawu Youhong who was holding an umbrella and walking towards a remote warehouse.
During the tracking process, Chu Ming subconsciously glanced back and looked at an alley to the right rear.
Those should be the police who followed and were ready to provide support to the Hattori at any time.
Chu Ming did not reveal the truth, but continued to track Zaowu Youhong.
In the alley nearby, Hattori Heizo said to Toyama Ginjiro with admiration: "That boy named Chu Ming is quite alert. Look at the way he looked just now. He must have spotted us. He is also more self-aware than Heiji. I saw him get up at five o'clock to exercise, but I don't know how good he is."
Toyama Ginjiro signaled the police officers behind him to continue moving forward, while teasing Hattori Heizo: "You only praise him with your mouth. I think Heiji is exactly the same as you when you were young. In fact, you are still very satisfied with Heiji in your heart, right?"
Hattori Heizo looked at his old friend and smiled slightly: "Actually, I'm a little curious about this kid named Chu Ming. Before, Heiji said he was going to Tokyo to compete with Kudo Shinichi. After he came back, he kept talking about Kudo and Chu Ming. Since Hattori praised him so much, he shouldn't be unknown, but I've never heard of his reputation before. And that kid named Conan, I can't even find him..."
——(゜-゜)——
Here, Chu Ming and his companions chased Zaowa Youhong into an abandoned warehouse. Seeing him lighting a lighter and walking up the stairs, Hattori turned to Conan who was following at the end and said, "Get your anesthetic needle ready. We are ready to go!"
Conan looked at his two friends who were leaning forward in the same posture, realized that he was a fragile person with long-range attacks, and began to fiddle with his anesthesia watch with his head down.
However, at this moment, Conan felt someone covering his mouth and dragging him backwards. In panic, he stared at his two short legs, trying to attract the attention of the two people in front of him.
With his eyes looking at Conan as if he was a savior, Chu Ming did not look back, but he reached back and grabbed Conan's wrist.
Well, Brother Chu Ming, you are my God—huh?
Conan felt Chu Ming's hand touching his wrist, and he took off his anesthetic watch. Then he waved at him and chased after Hattori in front of him.
Hattori was so focused on chasing forward that he didn't realize his friend had fallen behind. When he saw Chu Ming chasing after him, he remembered that there was Conan: "Where's Kudo?"
"I don't know, maybe he went to the bathroom." Chu Ming used the excuse Conan often used.
Hattori didn't care. He put one hand in his pocket and slowly walked up the last few steps in a posture that he thought was the coolest. At the same time, he spoke up to stop Arihiro Kusaya from turning on the flashlight.
"You must not turn on that flashlight, or you will end up like Mr. Kato, setting yourself on fire and burning to charcoal."
Hattori stood on the stage, and as usual, he explained to the two of them bit by bit the clues he had found and the results of his own reasoning. His mind was filled with excitement about slamming the murderer in his father's face and breaking his fox mask, and he didn't notice that Kusaya Arihiro had been trying to trick him.
Chu Ming hid quietly in the dark. Fortunately, he was wearing black clothes today, otherwise it would be difficult to hide.
Every time at this moment, I feel particularly envious of Hattori. Once he takes off his clothes, he can blend perfectly into the darkness. Wow.
Chapter 377 You are really dogs
As Hattori was chatting with the murderer, he accidentally revealed the identity of Arihiro Kusaya, exposing him as the real murderer of a bloody case seven years ago.
Upon realizing his identity was exposed, Zaowu Youhong immediately pulled out a pistol from his side. Several thugs with guns swarmed up from the stairs on both sides.
He forced Hattori and Kyosaka Shigehiko to pick up the flashlight that almost caused him to self-ignite, and signaled the two to commit suicide.
Chu Ming was listening below, somewhat speechless. If he had just shot without saying anything, even though he would have been arrested afterwards, it would not be a loss to take away the son of a director.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that villains die because they talk too much, and he pointed a gun at Lai Lai, trying to find out how Hattori determined that Kyōban Shigehiko was the real murderer.
Just when Hattori refused to cooperate and didn't want to talk, Conan's head suddenly appeared on the railing above, and he imitated Hattori's pose and told him all the information that Arihiro Kusaya wanted to know.
Arihiro Kusaya looked at Conan who suddenly appeared above, and pointed a gun at Hattori to threaten him to come down.
Conan's eyes were full of teasing: "Okay, I'll be down right away."
Under Hattori's shocked gaze, Hattori Heizo fell from the sky.
At the same time, while everyone's attention was drawn to Conan above, Chu Ming threw two ropes directly upwards from the railing below, tied up the feet of Hattori Heiji and Kyobata Shigehiko and dragged them down. The two men lost their balance and fell down. Then Chu Ming leaned over and pulled them in the moment they fell.
The series of operations were smooth and flowing, which made people's heart beat fast, but in the eyes of the uninformed people above, it was terrifying.
Conan's originally calm voice suddenly broke: "Hattori——"
From his angle, he couldn't see the rope that Chu Ming was swinging, he only saw Hattori stagger twice and fall off the platform.
This also shocked Hattori Heizo and the police officers who had just landed on the ground. Hattori Heizo's eyes opened instantly, and a long string of points was refreshed on Chu Ming's system panel.
Chu Ming held Conan's anesthesia watch and looked at Hattori Heiji and Kyobata Shigehiko who were looking at him in confusion. His movement to climb up stopped instantly.
He wanted to save people and defeat the enemy while everyone's attention was drawn to Conan, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Hattori Heizo jumped down just after he pulled the person down...
Hattori Heizo didn't even bother to say anything more about arresting you for some crime. He just signaled his men to rush up, then leaned over the railing without caring about his image, trying to find the figure of Heiji who had fallen in the dark. His usually calm voice was a little unstable at this time: "Heiji!"
Chu Ming took Hattori Heiji up the stairs nearby and stood behind Hattori Heiji, taking in the whole scene. Chu Ming nudged Hattori with his shoulder, motioning him to come forward and say a few words. This scene was a bit awkward.
Hattori coughed lightly: "Ahem, Dad, I'm here..."
Hattori Heizo turned around suddenly and saw Hattori standing in front of him scratching his head, and Chu Ming with a guilty look on his face behind Hattori. His expression instantly returned to its previous state, as if nothing had happened just now.
He stepped forward and patted the two men's shoulders vigorously: "Good boy! Come and play with Heiji more later!"
Chu Ming kept smiling and accepted Hattori Heizo's invitation.
After Hattori Heizo left, he grimaced and shook his numb shoulders, watching his figure going away. This must be revenge, right? Must be, right?
As the police evacuated the warehouse, Chu Ming returned the watch, which was completely unused, to Conan: "It hasn't been used yet. The anesthetic needle is still inside. Promise, I'll return it intact."
Conan narrowed his eyes and glared at him quietly: "So Chu Ming-ge already knew that Officer Otaki and the others were following us?"
Chu Ming rubbed his head and said, "Do you think everyone is like you guys, not paying attention to the back when walking? How many times have you been hit from behind, and you still don't learn your lesson?"
After hearing what Chu Ming said, Conan felt that he really couldn't refute it, but he still insisted: "But it's really hard to pay attention to attacks from behind! After all, there are no eyes behind!"
Chu Ming reached out and pinched his mouth, shaping it into the shape of a duck: "On the day of cremation, some people are left with only a mouth in the incinerator."
