When he just came in, he found that the group of people who had been tied up in the corner were the group of armed robbers that he and a few children saw in the airship.
This group of people should be red Siamese cats.
But the red Siamese cat is tied up here... Who are these scarfaces?
Conan felt his mind was a little confused, but no matter how confused he was, his face changed when he heard that this group of people planned to test the drug on the people on the airship.
He had also seen analysis reports on TV before. This virus is highly contagious. Once leaked, the whole of Japan will fall.
Looking at the robbers who were chatting, Conan slowly groped behind him, trying to untie the rope on his hands.
When Conan began to move, Chu Ming had already been staring at him out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that he was beginning to become restless, he quietly poked Vodka in.
Vodka shuddered and instantly remembered a strange role that Chu Ming had given him before, which was to say something to a little kid wearing glasses the moment he received the hint.
Although he didn't know Chu Ming's intention, Vodka felt that the reason he had been able to stay comfortably in the organization until today was because he was obedient and didn't meddle in other people's business.
He does whatever his elder brother says and doesn't need to have his own brain at all.
As for why the eldest brother asked him to do this?
This is not his concern.
The same logic can be applied to Chu Ming, who is now also his superior.
So the moment he received the hint, Vodka slowly approached Conan, pinched his face, frowned slightly, and said with some doubt: "This kid seems a little familiar?"
Conan was struck by lightning and stared at the person in front of him in a daze. The moment Vodka opened his mouth, he recognized Vodka's voice.
These are the people of the organization!
But it was precisely because he identified the identities of this group of people that he became even more panicked.
Vodka saw his face!
It even looks familiar!
What if he discovered his identity? Wouldn't that mean the organization had discovered his whereabouts?
In an instant, countless imaginary scenes flashed through his mind, and he froze there.
Chu Ming looked at Conan, who had calmed down, and then at his own rising points. He weighed the bottle in his hand with satisfaction, and turned to Vodka, who was still staring at Conan attentively, and said, "What are you doing squatting there? Have you picked a suitable subject for the drug test?"
Vodka retracted his gaze and stood up: "When you were patrolling in the airship just now, we found a drug tester. He is not very old and should meet the requirements."
Chu Ming tapped Conan with his chin: "This virus spreads best in children. How old was the person who tested the drug before? Is he qualified? How effective is the drug?"
"I don't know exactly how old he is, but he looks quite young, so he should not be an adult. He was sprayed with the virus and fell into a coma in a short while. I locked him in the room over there." Vodka spoke the lines honestly, feeling extremely aggrieved inside.
Why do they all throw their lines to him one by one?
Is it because he is a soft persimmon?
Will this really prevent any leaks?
Gaga felt aggrieved, but had no place to speak out.
"Bring that kid over to me as well. Once the virus takes effect, throw him directly off the airship. What are the employer's requirements?"
"The employer hopes that after Tokyo and Osaka are completely invaded by the virus, they will arrange for people to come to Japan as saviors and stay in Japan from then on, so that they can interfere with Japan's economic and political power." Vermouth continued lazily.
"Okay, the amount of virus given by the employer is not too much, not enough for us to spray all over Japan. So, we start with the children and spray them with the virus. When everyone on the airship is infected, we will drop one person down every once in a while. Those idiots in the Japanese police can't stop us."
This was Chu Ming's idea. They disguised themselves as international mercenaries hired by the FBI and then put all the blame on the FBI.
Currently on this airship, there are police, people from the Suzuki Group, Japan's number one economic company, and famous detectives. They can all prove that this was the work of the FBI.
It's like putting a solid pot of shit on the FBI's head, the kind that can't be shaken off.
At the same time, let Conan and Haibara Ai know who the real mastermind is, so that Conan's parents can contact the FBI.
In addition, since Vodka is very likely to have discovered Conan's identity, even if Conan himself wants to intervene in the second struggle between the organization and the FBI, Haibara Ai and the doctor will no longer let him go.
It can both lure out the FBI and prevent Conan from taking risks, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, this virus is not real, but a fake one. It is highly contagious and can cause bumps on a person's body, but it is not fatal at all. It will be automatically excreted from the body within a week. It was carefully selected by Chu Ming from Potter's group of medicines.
It is certainly enough to scare people. If the authorities cannot develop an antidote in a short period of time, they can also promote the research institute to the outside world.
Kill two birds with one stone
Chapter 544: Chu Ming in Coma
"Are you still human? Testing drugs on children?" Officer Nakamori shouted angrily when he heard Chu Ming's words.
"Why not?" Chu Ming said frivolously and casually, glancing at Officer Nakamori. "This officer is so angry, is he jealous because he didn't make the cut? Are you trying to provoke me into choosing you? Hey, if I don't choose you, then I won't choose you. I'll piss you off to death."
Officer Nakamori was so angry at Chu Ming's despicable words that his face turned blue. He clenched his fists tightly and looked at Gin: "From your tone, you are mercenaries, right? Which organization are you hired by? We, the Japanese authorities, can give you double the money. I hope you——"
Gin glanced at Officer Nakamori with an indifferent look without saying a word.
Chu Ming consciously acted as a mouthpiece: "You are just a small policeman, how can you represent the official to make conditions? The person who makes a deal with us is your master, what do you think——"
"Cough--" Vermouth coughed lightly at the right time, stopping Chu Ming from continuing speaking, as if the information could not be leaked.
"Okay, no need to waste time talking. Evacuation is impossible. Since you know we are mercenaries, you should know the rules of our business. We can't betray our employers. Otherwise, how can we survive in this business?"
Officer Nakamori looked grim. Suzuki Jirokichi beside him suddenly spoke up: "In this line of work, you fight on the edge of a knife and in the rain of bullets, isn't it for the money? How much can each of you get for this deal? Ten million US dollars is the maximum, right? So, if you stop now and retreat, I can write you a check for ten million US dollars each."
"..."
Chu Ming was shamefully moved.
He cast a suspicious look at Gin and asked silently.
Ten million US dollars per person, the organization easily made a huge profit. Should this wave continue?
Seeing that everyone's eyes turned to Gin, Suzuki Jirokichi also knew who was the one who made the decision, so he continued to increase the stakes.
"You must be the leader of this team of mercenaries, right? This lady in the sky on display is worth hundreds of millions. I can give it to you as a gift. How about that? Does this show my sincerity?"
Gin's face was unmoved. He glanced around and finally stared at Chu Ming. His voice was hoarse but revealed no doubt: "Remember your mission and don't do unnecessary things."
Gin also wanted the 60 million US dollars, but he knew that the money was not so easy to get. After all, why was it that as the number one financial group in Japan, no robbers ever tried to blackmail the Suzuki Group?
It is obviously because you have the life to take it but not the life to spend it.
Although the organization is not afraid of these, the boss's philosophy is to keep a low profile. The money can be obtained at any time, but once the trouble is involved, it is not easy to get rid of it.
Seeing that Gin was too rational and could not be bought with money, Suzuki Jirokichi said nothing more, but looked in the direction of Sonoko with a worried look.
He was old, so if something happened, it would be fine, but Sonoko was the heir of the Suzuki Group, what would happen if she died on the airship? How could he be worthy of his elder brother?
Just when Suzuki Jirokichi was thinking about how to redeem Sonoko, Vodka picked up Conan.
"Conan!" Xiaolan tried to rush forward to save Conan. Even though Chu Ming shot at her feet, she still rushed forward without caring, until she hugged Conan, "He is still young, you take me with you!"
"Tsk, so many people want to die?" Chu Ming played with the gun in his hand, looking at Xiaolan who was hugging Conan tightly, and smiled, "Okay, it's not easy to die together. Anyway, we have to try the drug, so I'll be a good person."
He turned around and called Vodka: "Come on, take these two over and test the drugs together. Put them together with the person you just tested the drugs with."
"Ran--" When Kogoro Mouri saw that Ran was about to be taken away, he stood up anxiously and wanted to rush over.
Are you guys here, Calabash Brothers, saving grandpa?
Chu Ming was speechless. He turned around and fired a few shots. A few bullets grazed Maori Kogoro's arm. A few drops of blood splashed out and dripped onto the ground.
At the same time, Cohen and Chianti, who had been serving as background figures, also raised their guns, full of threats.
"Dad!" Xiaolan was originally holding Conan, and when she saw that Kogoro Mouri was injured, she was so anxious that she wanted to rush over again, but was stopped by Vermouth with a gun.
After all, Chu Ming didn't seem to be in a very good mood at the moment. If Xiaolan rushed over and got hurt, she would be heartbroken.
"What gave you the illusion that I have a good temper? Keep yelling at me. Don't wait for the virus to break out. I will send you to death right now." The murderous words directly intimidated some people.
This time, except for the protagonists, everyone else on the airship were members of the Red Siamese Cat who had sneaked aboard. They were not good people to begin with, and when they saw that Chu Ming and his team were testing the virus on children and it had nothing to do with them for the time being, they all huddled in place, not saying a word.
Seeing Dr. Agasa and others trying to grab Maori Kogoro, Chu Ming pointed his gun at Dr. Agasa and said, "Tell the kid hiding behind you to come out."
Dr. Agasa was startled. He looked at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him and said in a difficult tone: "This little girl has not been in good health since she was a child. She——"
"boom--"
Dr. Agasa took two steps back and looked at the charred bullet holes at his feet, but he still stood firmly in front of Haibara Ai.
It was Huihara Ai who broke free from Dr. Agasa's hand and said, "It's okay, Doctor. Don't worry about me. The children and I can take care of each other."
After saying that, he lowered his head and walked to stand beside Xiaolan.
Her eyes quietly wandered around Chu Ming, not sure whether this was Chu Ming.
After all, this series of actions just now made her feel more and more that this man seemed to be Granburch...
Under the threat of guns, the remaining people could only watch anxiously and worriedly as Xiaolan and several children were taken away by Chu Ming and Vodka.
Chu Ming put on a gas mask and threw one to Vodka.
After all, it’s all about acting.
He opened a door and found that it was the room he had just carefully selected. It had no windows, thick walls, and a double-layer iron door that was well sealed and could only be opened from the outside.
The most important thing is that he had thrown the robot in before.
After pushing a few people in, Chu Ming took an ampoule from Vodka, smashed it directly on the ground, and then locked the door directly from the outside.
The moment the bottle broke, Xiaolan held her breath and untied the ropes in Conan and several other children's hands.
Conan tore his clothes into pieces and made himself a simple three-layer mask, and motioned the children to follow his example.
When everyone covered their faces with homemade masks, they finally had the mind to look around and observe the environment.
There were no facilities in the room except a curtain drawn in the middle.
Xiaolan tried, and when she found that the door couldn't be opened, she pulled open the curtain.
"Brother Chu Ming!!"
Behind the curtain was Chu Ming who was in a coma.
Red rashes were slowly appearing on his face, his breathing was rapid, his whole body was burning hot, and he was already unconscious.
Chapter 545 Hero
"Brother Chu Ming!" Haibara Ai took two steps at a time, quickly squeezed through Conan and others, and came to Chu Ming's bedside, carefully checking his condition.
