"What? I mean that detectives show up because there are cases." Conan crossed his arms in dissatisfaction, muttering to refute Chu Ming's words, "And it's not every time, there have been many times when nothing happened!"
"You can count the number of times on one hand. What do you mean by many times?"
……
The two argued for a long time, and finally decided to stop and shake hands in peace.
After all, one was invincible in quarrels after organizational training, and the other was a detective with strong logical thinking. Neither of them could defeat the other.
Chu Ming was lazily lying on the sofa with his eyes half closed. When he was drowsy, he suddenly thought of something and sat up abruptly.
The action was so violent that Conan next to him was startled: "Brother Chu Ming, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"
Chu Ming sat up straight, and he remembered what he had forgotten before...
He kidnapped Noah's Ark but didn't tell the boss...
What if, when the boss finishes his recuperation and is about to go find Hiroki to chat, he finds that Hiroki in the supercomputer is gone, will he be so anxious that he goes into the recuperation room again?
hiss--
This seems to be a good idea. If the boss realizes that his health is completely bad, will he voluntarily give up his position?
It saved him a lot of trouble...
Forget it, let’s not do it. After all, he was the only one who went to the lab today, so we didn’t even need to choose a boss from three to confirm that it was him who did it…
"No, I got something from my elder and forgot to tell him. I'll send him a message." Chu Ming said as he was about to send an email to his boss. As he pressed the first email address, he suddenly stopped.
No, Conan is still here. He had heard the BOSS's email button from Vermouth before. Now he is sending an email in front of Conan. Isn't it the same as presenting his identity to Conan?
His identity must not be exposed so easily. He also wants to use his identity to get a lot of points from Conan!
Therefore, if the BOSS is really so angry that he has to go into the treatment room again, it will definitely be Conan’s fault, and it has nothing to do with him!
Seeing Chu Ming holding his phone and pressing a few buttons and then becoming dazed, Conan sneezed, rubbed his nose and looked a little confused: "Ah, cut - Brother Chu Ming, what's wrong with you?"
"Forget it, let's not let him know for now. Let's wait until he finds out on his own." Chu Ming responded casually, then looked at Huiyuan Ai, "Xiao Ai, I have something I wanted to give you a long time ago, but I kept forgetting it."
Looking at Conan who was standing aside with curiosity in his eyes, Chu Ming waved his hand and took Haibara Ai back to her room, ignoring Conan's somewhat resentful look behind him.
Oh no, my friends are keeping a little secret from me and don’t let me know.
But although he was very curious, he still didn't eavesdrop.
"Brother Chu Ming, what is it?" Huibara Ai was obviously a little confused.
Chu Ming took out a stack of tapes from his side and handed them to Haibara Ai. These tapes were hidden by Miyano Akemi in the bathroom of his father's friend's company. Haibara Ai's mother anticipated that she would die soon, so she recorded them specifically as a gift for Haibara Ai.
When he was chatting with Vodka before, he heard Vodka say that Gin once asked him to break into a house in the middle of the night to investigate whether Miyano Akemi had hidden anything in Miyano Atsushi's old house, but that house had been rented out by Miyano Atsushi to a friend to start a company, and he was almost discovered when he went there in the middle of the night.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Vodka just happened to talk about this topic and said a few words, but Chu Ming suddenly remembered the relevant plot. He remembered that the thing was hidden by Miyano Akemi under the float of the toilet tank, so he took the time to get it out.
"What is this?" Haibara Ai took the bag containing the tape blankly, and looked up at Chu Ming with confusion in her eyes.
Chu Ming's face was serious. He slowly squatted down and looked directly at Huihara Ai: "I heard from Vodka before that your sister once secretly went to the old house where your father and his family lived, so Gin sent him to investigate whether your sister had hidden anything secretly, but found nothing. I think your sister would not do such unnecessary actions under the close surveillance. She must have hidden something, but Vodka couldn't find it, so I got the address from Vodka and sneaked in again to search..."
Caught off guard by the news about her sister, Huihara Ai stood there in a daze, staring blankly at Chu Ming, with red eyes: "...Sister?"
She reached out and tightly grasped the bag Chu Ming gave her, as if she could draw courage from such an action: "This is... what my sister left for me? What does it say?"
Chu Ming raised his head and touched her head: "Because this is something your sister gave you, I don't think I have the right to listen to it without permission, so you can listen to it yourself."
He did not listen without permission. He asked for Haibara Ai's opinion in the void. Haibara Ai did not reject his mental inquiry, so he assumed that Haibara Ai agreed and listened carefully.
However, with his acting skills improved, even though Chu Ming's thoughts were completely different from what he said, he was unable to make Haibara Ai see the flaws.
Looking at Chu Ming's gentle gaze in front of her, Huihara Ai nodded vigorously, turned around to get the recorder, and secretly wiped away the tears that were about to flow.
The moment she put on the headphones, Haibara Ai heard a gentle and loving voice. This was the first time she heard her mother's voice since she could remember, but she recognized it in an instant.
Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, she slowly closed her eyes, and quietly listened to the birthday wishes from her mother that were more than ten years late.
Chapter 579: Brother Chu Ming made Huibara Ai cry?
After a while, Huihara's eyes were red and she pressed the pause button. Just when she was about to listen to it again, she suddenly remembered that Chu Ming was still by her side.
She quickly took off her headphones and wiped away the tears that accidentally flowed out. Because she had just cried so hard, her nose was blocked, and she could only thank Chu Ming in a muffled voice.
Chu Ming leaned against the wall, and looked at her with a gentle and tolerant look: "Why thank me? I was not here on your birthday two days ago. Just consider this as a birthday gift for you this year."
"Brother Chu Ming's safe return is already the best gift." Huiyuan Ai said seriously. It was dangerous for Chu Ming to stay in the organization. In this case, he actually went to Vodka to get information for her...
Since the day she escaped from the organization, Brother Chu Ming has been protecting her. In order for her to escape safely, he was even threatened by Granburch to sink deeper into the quagmire of the organization.
Apart from her sister, no one else could do this for her. Brother Chu Ming was really like a brother, always standing in front of her, like a mountain, like an ocean...
"Let's go. They must be waiting anxiously outside." Chu Ming smiled. The reason he didn't leave was because Haibara Ai was gaining points while listening to the recording. He was reluctant to leave and even hoped that Haibara Ai would listen for a while longer.
Of course, there are quite a few at this moment.
Just think about it and you will know that this wave of emotion moved Haibara Ai to tears. She exchanged a tape for high points, which was a big profit.
Conan waited outside for a long time. Just as he was holding his chin and thinking about what Chu Ming could be whispering to Haibara Ai, he saw the two people coming out one after the other.
Ai Haibara at the back had red eyes, obviously having been crying.
Ok?
Uh-huh? ?
Uh huh huh? ? ?
Conan sat up straight in an instant.
what happened?
Brother Chu Ming made Huiyuan cry?
But how could he ask about this?
Conan used sign language to communicate with Chu Ming, trying to find out why Haibara Ai suddenly cried so sadly.
Chu Ming raised his chin, indicating that he should ask Haibara Ai himself. Conan scratched his head and cheeks, his face full of anxiety for not being able to eat the melon, but he was a little scared to ask Haibara Ai, after all, Haibara Ai might directly retort him.
There was no choice but to quietly touch Dr. Agasa and signal him to speak first.
Dr. Agasa received the hint, looked at Haibara Ai's red and swollen eyes and the remaining tear marks on her face, and asked tentatively: "Ai, what's wrong with you? If you are in a bad mood, how about we go out for a big meal?"
Huiyuan Ai shook her head, glanced at Chu Ming, and wiped away her tears a little embarrassedly: "No, Brother Chu Ming found some things my parents left for me through some channels, as well as the birthday wishes my mother left for me every year from the age of 1 to 20..."
Conan and Dr. Agasa suddenly realized why Haibara Ai looked so sad.
Although Conan really wanted to know whether there was any information about the organization in the words that Haibara Ai's mother left for her, his limited emotional intelligence made him shut up.
Chu Ming looked at Conan who was hesitant to speak, walked over and sat back on the sofa, pulled Conan over and whispered to him: "Even if there is information about the organization in this videotape, you are not allowed to ask. If Xiao Ai gets over it later, she will tell you naturally. Don't be stupid enough to ask and expose her scars."
Conan pulled away Chu Ming's hand unhappily: "I know, do I look that clueless?"
Chu Ming simply rolled his eyes at Conan: "What do you think you can do?"
Conan was at a loss for words and quickly changed the subject: "Brother Chu Ming, where did you get the information? Are there any other clues besides the videotape?"
"Since I found out who Ai's parents are, I went to secretly inquire about them. By chance, I found out where his parents used to live. He had rented it out to a friend to start a company. So I went to visit them, saying that my overseas relatives asked me to find Professor Miyano.
The employees of the company told me that Xiao Ai's sister had come here before and used the toilet. I went in to look for it when no one was around and finally found the videotape in the toilet tank. The rest of the items were mostly personal belongings of the employees of that company, so I didn't find anything else." Chu Ming told Conan half-truthfully the excuse he had just made up.
Conan was a little disappointed, but still asked: "Which company is it? How about we go check it out again? Maybe we can find something?"
Seeing that Conan was determined to keep his head, Chu Ming couldn't help but hold his head and rub it: "What, don't you trust my investigation skills???"
Conan tried to save his head: "I didn't! That's not what I meant!"
"Humph." Chu Ming let go of his hand. "You'd better let them go. What if a murder case happens to you, a famous detective, due to the guidance of fate?"
Conan immediately bared his teeth and claws: "I told you that this is a case that calls for a detective!"
Dr. Agasa also came over at this time: "Speaking of this, I forgot that a friend of mine said that Dr. Miyano was his good brother who grew up with him. He also helped Dr. Miyano publish a book. I wanted to find a time to take you to visit him and see if I could ask him for any relevant information."
Conan stood up immediately: "What are we waiting for! Doctor, let's go!"
"Um..." Chu Ming tried to speak, but was interrupted by Conan.
"Brother Chu Ming, hurry up and stop talking about murder or not. You have to believe in science and stop being so superstitious!" Conan pushed Chu Ming out in a hurry, "Doctor, go drive the car, we'll be leaving soon!"
The doctor shook his head helplessly, glanced at Haibara Ai who seemed somewhat hopeful, and went out to drive.
Today, Haibara Ai listened to the recording her mother left for her. She also wanted to know more about her parents, so she went out with a brisk pace.
Chu Ming was pushed forward by Conan, somewhat speechless. How should he tell them that they were actually talking about the same person...
As the car sped along, Chu Ming looked at the scenery outside the window and said quietly: "The buildings on this road are a little familiar, I think..."
Huiyuan Ai turned her head to look at Chu Ming who was sitting next to her, a little confused: "What do you think?"
"I think, Doctor, we might be talking about the same person."
"squeak--"
There was a sudden brake.
Dr. Agasa turned around and looked at Chu Ming: "Ah? Isn't it such a coincidence?"
Chu Ming scratched his head: "Doctor, is the person you are talking about a designer? Has he opened a design firm?"
Conan looked at Dr. Agasa's confused face and knew that Chu Ming was right: "What a coincidence..."
"As you know, I opened a software company. Recently, the company has expanded new business, and the original floor is not enough. I bought a new floor to open a branch office. I need to find someone to design the decoration drawings for the new company. When I was looking for a design firm, I accidentally got the news and went to visit..." Chu Ming looked at Chu Ming and Huiyuan Ai who were a little disappointed, "How is it, are you still going?"
Conan nodded vigorously: "Since we are here, why not go and take a look?"
walk slowly.
In all likelihood, he can make a little extra money today~
Chapter 580: Case attracts detectives?
The car stopped in a residential area. There was an iron fence at the gate. The two-story building with yellow tiles and gray walls looked simple and elegant.
After getting out of the car, Huiyuan Ai stood by the wall and looked up, carefully examining the house: "Is this the house where my parents used to live?"
Chu Ming suddenly seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but smile mischievously: "Last time I heard that your parents rented this house to a friend, but they haven't paid the rent for more than 20 years. Look, this is all your money~"
"..." Huiyuan Ai was speechless. She wanted to reveal her identity for such a small amount of money. Was she really going to die?
