Sure enough, Yucheng Liuli's cheeks turned slightly red when she heard Chu Ming's words. She looked at Maori Kogoro shyly and said, "Of course, do you want a photo?"
Chu Ming's eyes lit up: "Yes! I also want a solo photo of you!"
Yucheng Liuli agreed readily and turned to look at Maori Kogoro: "Kogoro, is this your junior? He is really handsome. He has the same demeanor as you when you were young."
"Hahaha, no, he still has a lot to learn. But you, why haven't you gotten married in such a long time?"
Yucheng Liuli's eyes were watery and hooked, and she said the most truthful words in a joking tone: "Of course it's because I have always had a one-sided love for you, Kogoro, that's why I can't look down on other men."
Maori Kogoro's eyes turned into peach blossoms, and he stood there grinning. He felt that today was really his lucky day, a beautiful woman saying that she liked him was enough to make his mind fly to the sky.
Xiaolan was very anxious. She could not think that the person in front of her was the star she had been chasing for a long time. Instead, she quickly hugged Maori Kogoro's arm with a smile on her face, trying to tell others that he still had a daughter: "Please don't joke with my father, he will take it seriously."
Even though she heard Xiaolan calling her dad, Yucheng Liuli still wanted to tease her. She turned around and asked Maori Kogoro with a smile: "Who is this little girl?"
Maori Kogoro turned his face and refused to acknowledge his own daughter. He pulled his hand away and said, "She, she lives near my house--"
Are women more important or daughters?
For Kogoro, when faced with beauty, he has no regard for his relatives.
The smile on Xiaolan's face did not change. She continued to hold Maori Kogoro's hand, but secretly pinched him: "I am his daughter, Xiaolan!"
Before Maori Kogoro could cry out in pain, Yucheng Liuli was extremely surprised: "Are you Eri's daughter?"
Xiaolan was also shocked: "You know my mother?"
Before the filming started, Amashiro Ruri began to tell Xiaolan about the chaotic scene when Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki were in love in high school.
Chu Ming listened to a lot of gossip and summarized it in his own words.
It's probably a story about a cool and proud academic master and a sloppy school bully. The academic master is cold and reserved to the outside world, but always quarrels with the school bully when he sees him. The two of them are a pair of bickering and flirting every day, and finally they get married.
Yoshiki Kazami, who had been clamoring for his presence just now, saw that Kogoro Mori had stolen all his limelight as soon as he arrived. He was now standing in the corner with a cold look, and his cold eyes, like a poisonous snake, swept over Kogoro Mori and Ruri Amashiro who were having a cheerful conversation from time to time.
Chu Ming was very sensitive to such malicious gazes. He kept his eyes on Feng Jianlianghui to see what tricks he was trying to play.
It was not until the filming continued that Kazami Yoshiki revealed his plan.
Yoshiki Kazami plays a detective in the TV series. He was reciting his lines in a very pretentious manner and was about to reveal the real culprit of the murder, but suddenly he changed the subject and pointed the finger at Kogoro Mori.
"According to normal procedures, I should be the one to solve this mystery, but since Mr. Maori is here today, it is up to you to uncover the true veil of this murder case."
Kogoro Mori, who was watching the show leisurely nearby, didn't expect the fire to suddenly burn himself and couldn't help but scream.
It was this sound that made Kazami Yoshiki more certain of his guess. This so-called famous detective must have a lot of water in his mouth. He intensified his question and said, "Why? The famous detective, the sleeping Kogoro, wouldn't dare to do it, right?"
Maori Kogoro was the one who could not stand the provocation. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "Of course not!"
"Well then!" What Kazami Yoshiki wanted was for Maori Kogoro to be forced into a position of power. "Then please explain why there is a tablecloth covering the body of the deceased?"
Maori Kogoro didn't listen to the details of the case that Kazami Yoshiki just told him. Now he was asked to go directly to the examination room and could only rely on guessing: "I think, this, maybe, because the murderer loved the deceased very much, he couldn't bear to see the deceased's body lying on the cold floor like this..."
Kazami Yoshiki patted the clothes on the chair beside the table, a little disdainful: "But the clothes of the deceased are right here, why does he need a tablecloth?"
"Well, well, maybe it's because the gray tablecloth looks much warmer than the black coat--" Kogoro Mouri racked his brains to come up with his answer.
"Hey, hey, this isn't the answer you can think of for this question, is it?" The disdain in Feng Jianliang's eyes was already written on his face. He raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically and looked at Yu Cheng Liuli, "Your friends are just like this, just seeking fame and reputation."
Conan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he simply gave Kogoro Mouri a needle and knocked him down. The needle was just there anyway and there was no case, so he might as well use it to help his uncle out.
Just as Conan shot out the anesthetic needle, Chu Ming couldn't stand this man who acted too much and talked too much nonsense. He took a step forward, his eyes even more provocative than Kazami Yoshiki's.
"No way, no way, no way, no one would dare to question a detective who has solved countless cases just because they read two pages of the script, right? How come you are so awesome that you can only be a detective in TV dramas?
What are you mocking, little bastard? Do you believe that when your body lies here, Uncle Maori will definitely find your murderer?
Uncle Maori is teasing you, don't you realize? He doesn't even bother with such a simple thing. Only a rookie like you would think you are invincible after reading two pages of the script.
I think you should stop being an idol and become a comedian. I think you are quite funny. "
After hearing all this output, Conan, who was holding the voice changer and preparing to make an excuse that he was just joking, was stunned.
Brother Chu Ming, now that you say that, how should I perform...
Chapter 482 As expected, Mr. Maori
Feng Jianlianghui's face turned blue because of Chu Ming's scolding. He was so angry that his face was deformed. He was used to solving problems with violence, so he clenched his fist and swung it at Chu Ming: "You bastard——"
Chu Ming stepped aside lightly, grabbed his arm and pushed him, causing him to fall flat on his face. "You're so polite, Mr. Feng Jian. Can you kowtow to me first before we meet?"
"You--" Feng Jianliang's face turned green with anger. He got up without giving up and rushed towards Chu Ming again. Chu Ming looked at him sarcastically, and was ready to give him an Armstrong jet-accelerated spinning kick when he came over again. However, Feng Jianliang was stopped by the staff.
"Mr. Kazami, calm down, calm down—"
"Yes, Mr. Maori, please give some advice as well—"
Persuade? How?
Conan scratched his head as he looked at Kogoro Mouri, who was now sleeping soundly on the chair after fainting from the anesthetic injection he gave him.
Just now, he was planning to directly deduce the question that Kazami Yoshiki had just asked, based on the fact that it was the son-in-law's responsibility to save his father-in-law. However, in just a moment, things turned out like this...
Conan cleared his throat in the voice of Maori Kogoro: "Okay, okay, Chu Ming, don't bother with him. As for Mr. Kazami, I actually know the answer to your question just now, but because the question is too simple, I just made a joke with you to liven up the atmosphere, haha——"
Kazami Yoshiki was grabbed by someone. He just felt humiliated by Chu Ming, but until now, Maori Kogoro was still mocking him and said that the question was too simple!
Yoshiki Kazami felt like a bean in a millstone, being rolled back and forth and humiliated several times.
He was so angry that bloodshot appeared in the whites of his eyes: "Well, what a great detective! I want to see what you can say. Tell me, tell me!"
Conan coughed twice and was about to speak. But Chu Ming couldn't hold it back. While everyone's attention was focused on Maori Kogoro, he quietly retreated to Conan's side, snatched the bow voice changer from his hand, and spoke in front of Conan's shocked eyes.
"Ahem, Mr. Kazami, don't be so anxious. Although your head is empty and you can't wait to be nourished by knowledge, you can't be impatient about growing a brain. No matter how anxious you are, you won't have a brain."
"You, you--" Kazami Yoshiki seemed so angry that he was about to faint in the next second.
Everyone was stunned by Kogoro Mori's sudden ridicule and looked at him in amazement.
Xiaolan was also a little shocked. She quietly pushed Maori Kogoro, who was sitting on the chair with his head down, and whispered, "Dad, please stop talking."
When Chu Ming saw that Kogoro Mouri was pushed twice by Xiaolan without knowing it and almost slipped, he quickly kicked Conan, signaling him to help his father-in-law, and then continued speaking.
“You asked me why the body was covered with a tablecloth, because the screenwriter couldn’t find an excuse. The murderer didn’t want to cover him with a tablecloth, he just didn’t want to cover him with black clothes.
Are some little psychological tricks worth testing others so hard? When the screenwriter wrote it, he probably didn't expect that there would be a brainless person who would use this kind of thing as a question to test others, right?
What, you can't think of any worthwhile questions yourself, so you just borrow someone else's? The murderer likes black. So subconsciously, he didn't want this to become his flaw, so he deliberately found something of another color to cover the body.
This can also be seen from the murder weapon. There was a bag of golf clubs at the door. The black one was taken out and put back, and finally the white one was chosen, so the position of the black one is slightly higher. The decoration inside the villa is also black, so the murderer is the hostess who is now wearing black.
Only an ignorant person like you would believe in such far-fetched and unfounded reasons and take them as the guiding principle."
Chu Ming used Maori Kogoro's voice to taunt him, and after receiving the signal that Conan was desperately sending out in the corner, he stepped on Maori Kogoro's foot to wake him up, and added the last sentence: "Am I right?"
Kogoro Mouri felt pain, groaned, and stood up holding his foot, receiving everyone's complicated looks and hesitant applause.
"...No, as expected of Mr. Mori..."
Seeing that Yoshiki had a grudge against him, Yu Cheng Liuli, who didn't need to give him face at all, praised loudly: "Amazing, you are worthy of being the sleeping Kogoro!"
Although there is too much sarcasm in Mouri Kogoro's tone, his reasoning is still very reliable, especially since Mouri Kogoro did not read the previous plot and only took a quick glance at the scene layout, he was able to accurately find the murderer and the flaws in it, showing his superb detective skills.
Kogoro Mouri stood there in a daze, but soon, as he was already very familiar with this kind of thing, he adjusted his expression and began to gesture around humbly.
Even Nanyun Nobuharu, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, couldn't help but raise his neck to pretend to be dead: "How amazing——"
Finally finding a punching bag, Kazami Yoshiki stomped hard on Nanyun Nobuharu's back and said, "Play your role well as a corpse! What can a corpse say!"
Nanyun Nobuharu felt pain and groaned as he was pressed to the ground. Hahara Kasumi ran over immediately and clenched her fists: "What are you doing?! Mr. Nanyun, how are you?"
Kazami Ryoki snorted coldly: "Xiaoxia, you are tired of that scriptwriter again and you like this guy, right? I forgot that you are a woman who is used and thrown away."
Nanyun Nobuharu's father is Nanyun Xiao, who plays the role of the butler. He stepped forward and grabbed Kazami by the collar: "What on earth are you trying to do? You'd better be more careful with what you say and do!"
Kazami Yoshiki saw that everyone's eyes were once again focused on him. Although the emotions in everyone's eyes were not very good, at least everyone was looking at him at this moment, and his figure was in their eyes, instead of everyone surrounding that damn detective.
He hid the smugness in his eyes and looked down at Nan Yunxiao provocatively: "You better be polite to me, old man. I know that you go out to secretly date your little lover every night, right? Although I don't have evidence yet, I already know who it is."
Nan Yunxiao was startled, and the hand that was holding his collar loosened, and was easily brushed away by Feng Jianlianghui.
"What bad luck!" Kazami Yoshiki pushed away Nanyun Xiao who was blocking his way, and stared at Maori Kogoro with cold eyes, which made Maori Kogoro, who had just taken a nap, very confused. "Humph, I'm going to take a nap, you guys can shoot the scenes without me first, what are you looking at, are you not convinced?"
Kogoro Mori was completely confused and stopped talking. However, Nan Yunxiao looked at his arrogant back and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Only Chu Ming noticed Nan Yunxiao's gaze. He also looked at Feng Jian Lianghui's back and curled the corners of his mouth. It seemed that after falling asleep, he would never see tomorrow's sun again.
Conan just happened to see Chu Ming's meaningful smile and quickly pulled Chu Ming.
Chu Ming came to his senses, looked down and saw Conan, thinking that he was urging him to return the bow tie voice changer to him, so he handed it to him directly. In fact, he could also speak the voice of Mouri Kogoro without it, but using this would not arouse Conan's suspicion.
Conan took it, thought about it and advised Chu Ming: "I know this person is quite hateful, but brother Chu Ming, please don't do anything stupid!"
Chu Ming raised his eyebrows and gave him a puzzled look.
Conan paused and said, "The look in your eyes just now really looks like the ultimate villain on TV."
……
This child's eyesight isn't very good anymore, so it's better to donate it to someone in need.
Chapter 483 Rich Sister
Conan shrank his head when Chu Ming glared at him with the eyes of the ultimate villain on TV, as Chu Ming called him.
Everyone looked at each other as Kazami Ryoki went upstairs. The director simply announced that they should take a break for half an hour to relax.
Kogoro Mouri followed Ruri Amashiro to reminisce about his junior high school life. Xiaolan followed him out of worry. Conan remembered something he had wanted to discuss with Chu Ming a long time ago, so he pulled Chu Ming out to the small garden at the door to chat.
Seeing that Conan seemed to have something to say to him, Chu Ming did not resist Conan's pull and followed him outside.
"Why do you suddenly have something to tell me? We've been out together for so long, why didn't you tell me last time we were out at night?"
When Conan heard Chu Ming mention the last time they went out at night, and thought of Chu Ming's straightforward way of shifting the blame, he choked and was almost interrupted by Chu Ming.
"Brother Chu Ming, your software..." Conan opened his mouth, not knowing where to start, and finally went straight to the point, "Why is the star of the promotion Chrissie Wynyard? Did she take the initiative to make an appointment with your company?"
Chu Ming blinked and understood what Conan meant, but he still pretended to know nothing and teased him with a smile.
"Do you think I didn't think of you when I had such a good thing? I asked Sister Yukiko before, and she said that she would help me shoot a commercial next time she comes to Japan. Don't be jealous, I haven't forgotten your mother. Oh, by the way, I also said that I would ask uncle to see if I could contact Okino Yoko, I forgot."
Conan waved his hand: "That's not what I meant. I didn't ask you to find my mom to shoot the commercial. What I wanted to say is that this Chrissie Wynyard is actually the Vermouth I met before! So I wanted to ask you whether you asked her to shoot the commercial or she sent it to you?"
"I took the initiative to find her." Chu Ming frowned slightly, "I have known her for a long time. Did you recognize the wrong person? Chris is not that kind of person. How could such a gentle person be Vermouth from that organization?!"
