Chu Ming coughed lightly: "Brother, do you know that luck is actually a part of strength! As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. You can't deny that there are really people with great luck in the world. They don't need to think too much, nor do they need to plan anything. What they want to accomplish - hey, it's accomplished just like that..."
Gin listened to Chu Mingji's babble and summarized it for him with a sneer.
"You mean, you completed these tasks by yourself just by luck?"
Chapter 384 It’s Okay Not to Talk
Chu Ming nodded vigorously, indicating that there was nothing wrong with Gin's summary.
Although he made use of Conan's scientific power, luck also played a role. Why weren't other people's mission targets Conan's targets?
He is also lucky to have the halo of the god of death!
So to round it up! He is just lucky!!!
He is the last lucky king of the winery!
But it was obvious that although Chu Ming said so much, Gin didn't believe it at all. Instead, he thought that Chu Ming was acting crazy again and started talking nonsense.
Gin lowered his eyes and thought to himself, what method did Granburrch use to insinuate someone to kill someone in front of him just now?
But no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't find any clues. Ever since he knew that Ed McCann was the target of the mission, Granburch seemed to have always been by his side. He had not had any verbal or physical communication with anyone, nor had he made any unnecessary movements or words. Could it really be a coincidence as he said?
But if one mission was a coincidence, it can’t be that every mission is a coincidence!
Gin, who never believed in luck and only relied on his strength, was 800% skeptical of Chu Ming's words.
Gin frowned slightly, looked up at the window that was shattered by bullets, and fell into deep thought.
——(゜-゜)——
Just now, when the police were questioning, they took Chu Ming and Gin, who were following Hattori and others, to the room where the deceased was to inquire about the information, so now everyone is surrounding the body, watching Kogoro Mouri and Hattori checking the condition of the body.
Because the case involved his idol and Gin was still there, Conan remembered what Chu Ming had told him and was not as active at the crime scene as before, which made Kogoro Mouri a little uncomfortable. While inspecting the scene, he stared at Conan from time to time, as if he was a little confused.
Just as Gin was thinking about how much of what Chu Ming had just said was true and how much was false, Maori Kogoro, who did not have Conan's help, had already started brainstorming based on the death message of the deceased, who had one hand holding a belt and the other hand making the number three gesture before his death, and he came up with a series of irrelevant inferences.
Gin looked at Kogoro Mouri, who did not look like a detective at all and whose reasoning was full of loopholes. He expressed deep doubts about what Chu Ming had said before, that Detective Mouri would be able to solve the case soon.
Officer Otaki was also confused. He leaned close to Hattori's ear, covered his mouth and asked quietly: "Is this really the state of Detective Mori when he is investigating a case? Why does it feel completely different from before? There is no trace of the sleeping Kogoro at all."
Hattori's mouth twitched. This expression was of course because Uncle Mori was awake now and had not been replaced by Kudo. However, even though he complained, he still had to cover up for him. He was also helping Kudo to conceal his identity.
"Maybe it's because the uncle is a little drunk today, and his mind is not as clear as before, so his reasoning is a little confused..."
After forcibly saving his dignity, Hattori immediately changed the subject: "But we should immediately check if the guests have any reaction to the smoke, right? After all, we have discovered that the murder weapon was a gun."
Gin was standing close to him. After hearing what Hattori said, he had already quietly put his hands into his coat pockets, thinking about where to break out from. Fortunately, he had been wearing a hat, covering half of his face, and Granburch had changed his appearance, so he didn't need to worry about his identity being exposed...
He was not afraid of the gunpowder reaction, as the organization had developed a spray to eliminate gunpowder reactions. Mainly, the guns and ammunition on his body could serve as a simple ammunition depot. In case he was discovered during the inspection, it would be better to prepare in advance, at least to catch the police off guard.
Chu Ming was standing next to Gin. He immediately understood his reaction of putting his hands in his pockets. He leaned on Gin by holding his arm, and his head just rested on Gin's shoulder. His lips and teeth moved slightly, and his low voice reached Gin's ears: "Don't worry, it hasn't come to that. I'll take care of it."
The solution to the problem is simple. After all, as long as Conan is not stupid, he would not be able to and dare not allow the police to test Gin, because the police are only here to investigate the case and they do not bring many people with them. If Gin is exposed during the test, none of the police officers or even the guests present might survive.
No matter how brave Conan is, he wouldn't dare to gamble with the lives of so many people.
"Officer, we were all standing outside when the gunshots rang out. Do we have to be checked too?" Chu Mingrou leaned against Gin bonelessly. Her voice was gentle and her pretty face made Officer Otaki blush.
Conan actually wanted to suggest that the police investigate them as well, but there were too many people here. If they found out something, the two organizations would be doomed to fail. If a bomb went down, no one present would survive. It would be better to wait until the matter was over, and then he would quietly call to report it...
So he pulled Hattori's clothes and said cutely: "Yeah, yes, yes, we were all outside at the time. I can testify that when the gunshots happened, none of us fired, right, Hattori brother."
Although Hattori didn't know why Conan suddenly acted cute, he still nodded in agreement: "Well, Officer Otaki, go investigate the guests who were inside at the time, especially the three athletes. Be sure to check them thoroughly."
Seeing that his chief's son had said so, Officer Otaki didn't say anything more and turned around to arrange for people to conduct tests on the reaction to gunpowder.
Seeing that the police took over, Kogoro Mouri felt that it was none of his business, so he took Xiaolan and the others out. Hattori went to inquire about the results of the investigation and took Conan away. Although Conan wanted to stay and ask some questions, he did not expect Hattori to be so unsportsmanlike and just take him away.
As witnesses without suspicion, Chu Ming and Gin stood in the corridor outside the door to kill time after Conan and others left, and followed the crowd when the guests finished their investigation and could leave.
Gin took out a cigarette from his side and was about to light it, but when he saw Chu Ming beside him, he frowned and put the cigarette back: "Who is the murderer?"
Chu Ming thought Gin was interested in the case, so he shared what he knew with him: "Of course it's Ray Curtis. He has an old grudge against Ed McCann. His wife committed suicide because of the scandal fabricated by Ed McCann. Although I don't remember it very well - I'm not sure about his method, but it doesn't matter. The deceased left a death message, which is enough to catch him. Wow, two tasks at once, worthy of me, I'm really lucky."
Chu Ming turned around to show off to Gin, but was met with a look in Gin's eyes that seemed to see through everything.
"? What's that look in your eyes, brother..."
Gin still hasn't figured out how Granburch instigated the crime, but judging from his tone and the level of intelligence he had, it was absolutely impossible to say that it had nothing to do with him.
But it’s better this way. There are no flaws in front of him, so the group of policemen won’t be able to see any problems.
Moreover, he was very pleased with the efficiency of completing two tasks at one time.
This is why he was able to tolerate Granburch's madness.
He has a quick mind, quick thinking, extraordinary skills, and acts cautiously...all these advantages are enough to deceive others when he is not doing anything evil.
The prerequisite is that he doesn't act up, or if your requirements are lower, then he doesn't have to say anything.
Chapter 385 Encounter with Hattori
Chu Ming, who didn't realize that he had told the truth, but Gin still relied on his powerful imagination to put eight hundred layers of filters on him, was leaning against the wall at this time, feeling the points coming from Conan.
I think Conan must be feeling bad now. The more he investigates, the more he finds that his idol is the biggest suspect, what's more, his idol is actually taking drugs.
These truths that he personally investigated are enough to doom Ray Curtis to eternal damnation, and will probably keep Conan in shock for the next few days.
However, the idol halo is shattered, so there are only so many points. If the little detective finds out that his dear brother Chu Ming is actually a member of the organization, will he be given a huge amount of points?
What should I do? I'm a little moved...
I really want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and drain the pond to catch the fish…
——(っ??ω??)っ——
After waiting for a while, the police came to inform the two that they could leave. It seemed that Conan had successfully persuaded his idol to surrender.
Gin had long been impatient. He would not feel bored even if he was ambushed at the mission site for a whole day. However, standing next to Chu Ming, looking at his demonic face, and listening to him chattering nonsense, his patience ran out too easily.
He quickly left the scene carrying Chu Ming, leaving Conan, who had rushed over and tried to rush in, empty-handed.
He was already feeling depressed because of the matter concerning his idol, and now that he had lost track of Gin, his precarious mood became even worse.
Even when Xiaolan called him to go back, he was a little absent-minded.
However, Chu Ming was unaware of all this. He was arguing with Gin about the mission reward.
"Brother, although you are indeed the one who took on these two tasks, if it weren't for my good luck, how could I have completed them without any bloodshed in one go!"
"Brother, please say something. Shouldn't I be paid for the task that cost me my luck?"
"Big brother, slow down, don't try to shake me off, if you really can't, give me half?"
"..."
Chu Ming followed behind Gin who was striding forward, and kept muttering to him as he chased him, trying to make Gin feel guilty and share some of the money he got for free with himself, a hard-working worker.
But Gin turned a deaf ear to it and just treated it as a mosquito buzzing around him.
Chu Ming saw that no matter how hard he tried, he failed to get Gin to give in. Instead, Gin pushed him back to his seat to memorize the information. He felt that the whole sky was bleak and he lost all enthusiasm for memorizing the information.
Unfortunately, there was someone named Gin, the head teacher, who was always watching him to see if he was distracted. If he was distracted, he would slap him. Chu Ming muttered to himself and cursed quietly, but he looked serious on the surface. He almost swore to Gin that he would study hard.
In order to thoroughly digest this pile of information, Chu Ming spent a lot of points to strengthen his memory and comprehension, and it took a whole week.
A week later, Chu Ming came out of the underground base and felt that the sky was so blue, the air was so fresh, and the person standing in front of him was so dark - huh?
Chu Ming looked at Hattori who was standing in front of him with a thoughtful look on his face, and walked up to him and patted him: "Hattori, why are you standing here in a daze?"
Hattori came back to his senses and was a little surprised when he saw Chu Ming: "Brother Chu Ming, why are you here? You didn't go back to Tokyo?"
"No, I had some things to do in Osaka, so I didn't go back at that time. I just finished my work today and came out for a walk."
Chu Ming didn't say it explicitly, but Hattori's emotional intelligence towards his friends was ten times that of Kazuha. Hearing this, he didn't ask any more questions, but just pointed to the takoyaki shop next to him and said, "There was a serial murder case some time ago, and the owner of this shop was also killed a few days ago. He took good care of me when I was in junior high school, so I have nothing to do today. I want to see if there are any clues to find the murderer. There are also victims in Kyoto, so I will go to Kyoto later to check."
After explaining, Hattori remembered that Chu Ming was sometimes interested in the case, so he asked, "Brother Chu Ming, do you want to join us?"
"Going to Kyoto? Sure, I have nothing to do." I finally escaped from Gin's control, now the farther away the better!
Hattori threw a helmet towards Chu Ming: "I knew that Chu Ming brother was also interested in this, let's go, get in the car."
Chu Ming looked at Hattori's handsome motorcycle and imagined himself sitting on the back seat of Hattori with the wind blowing on his face. He felt that he had lost all his style.
"It's been cold lately. Won't we get frozen by the wind if we ride all the way here? Wait a minute."
Chu Ming took out his cell phone and sent a text message, typed in the address, and asked someone to send a car to where he was now. This was what he saw in the information. It can be used for overt forces. It is affiliated with the organization but not linked to the organization. It can be used at will without fear of investigation.
Five minutes later, a black car stopped in front of the two men. The driver got out and respectfully asked if they needed him to drive them there, but Chu Ming refused.
After asking Hattori to get in the car, Chu Ming drove towards Kyoto.
"Uh, the driver just doesn't care?" Hattori looked at the driver still standing on the roadside, a little confused, "If we give him the car, how can he go back?"
"It's okay. He was originally scheduled to go on a business trip in the afternoon. Now he doesn't need to drive, so he can leave work early." Chu Ming said casually.
"Is this your company's car?" Hattori asked curiously, "Brother Chu Ming's company has opened a business in Osaka? For such a good thing, he must treat Kudo and me to a meal, right?"
"You even included Kudo's share when you blackmailed me?" Chu Ming rolled his eyes. "When we get to Kyoto, ask him if he has time to come over. I heard that Kyoto's snacks and tea are top-notch. I'll take you guys to try them later. I also heard that the geishas there - ahem."
“……”Hattori stared at Chu Ming with an unspeakable look, making him feel scared.
"What? You can't even watch a song and dance performance?"
If you have the guts, just look at me. It seems that you regarded a beautiful geisha as your first love, but you never expected that the first love you were thinking about was the one close to you, right?
This guy is just like Conan. He must have saved the world in several lifetimes. Only in this life can he have such a beautiful and lovely girlfriend who is not driven away by his straight male behavior.
Chapter 386: Also learned in Hawaii?
Chu Ming and Hattori wandered around the streets of Kyoto like headless flies. Kyoto was not as good as Osaka. Without the assistance of the police, it would be very difficult for Hattori to find a witness to a murder in the early hours of the morning.
We can find out something about the organization's power in Kyoto, but it is better not to mention this kind of information since Hattori cannot know the source.
No one knows when the world will stab them in the back and reveal the news to these detectives. Chu Ming still wants to wait for the right time to plan a reveal to steal Conan's points, so Chu Ming can only get off the car and follow Hattori around.
"Squeaky-"
While strolling, Chu Ming suddenly heard a series of cries coming from the side. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a little squirrel lying on a person's shoulder, blinking its little eyes and looking at him.
This seems to be the police from Kyoto?
