The fingerprint test results came out very quickly.
Gin sat in the office outside the laboratory with a sullen face, leaning back in his chair waiting for the results, while Chu Ming was placed on the sofa by Vodka.
"What are you following?" Gin looked up at Chu Ming, who was lying dead on the sofa, and said in a low voice, "Are you worried that the fingerprints you found are from that detective?"
"After all, they are my closest friends, brothers and sisters—" Chu Ming adjusted his posture and tilted his head to look at Gin, "—I won't do it without payment."
Gin had originally shown some murderous intent because of Chu Ming's first half of the sentence. When he heard the latter turn of events and looked at Chu Ming's suggestive eyes, he paused and asked, "How much do you want?"
Seeing that there was a play, Chu Ming ignored the pain in his waist and counted on his fingers. There was a protagonist and a supporting role. The magnetic field of these two people must be worth millions of points, right?
If he had done it himself, he would have lost tens of millions of points, which means he would have to be compensated with tens of billions, right?
"Well, I don't think you can come up with billions of dollars for me--" Chu Ming pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Why don't you go and suggest to the boss to retire early and have a good rest, so that I can--ah--"
Before he could finish his words, Gin kicked the sofa, which was overturned and fell on Chu Ming, making his already sprained waist even worse.
Chu Ming was pressed under the sofa, like a little turtle with its shell on its back, flapping its arms and legs in dissatisfaction.
No, no, why did you do it all of a sudden?!
Don’t even think he can do anything like this!
Chapter 618 Kudo Shinichi's Fingerprint
The sound of Gin's feet kicking on the sofa was quite loud. A researcher holding a report at the door hesitated for a while, not knowing what he, a small researcher, should do when two core members in the office were fighting.
To go in or not to go in?
Chu Ming struggled for a while, but his waist was too weak to lift the sofa off his back. He could only drawl out his voice with a weak tone: "Afu, save me, Afu, I'm almost suffocating - cough cough - Afu -"
Seeing that Chu Ming almost fainted, Vodka hurried forward to help him lift the sofa and pull him up again. Although he knew that Granburch was always careless about his words, he was indeed frightened just now.
Openly shouting for the BOSS to give up his position... Fortunately it was Granburch, if it was anyone else Gin would probably have pulled out his gun and shot him.
When he was pulled up, Chu Ming happened to see the researcher holding the documents at the door and narrowed his eyes: "Are you watching the show outside instead of coming in?"
The researcher was suddenly called out and quickly explained: "No, no, I saw that both adults were very busy..."
Gin didn't want to argue with him. His eyes fell on the information in his hand: "Are the results out? Is it Maori Kogoro's?"
The researcher shook his head: "No, I compared it with the fingerprint sample sent to me by Maori Kogoro, it's not his."
Gin narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that he would make a wrong judgment. He looked at Chu Ming beside him and said, "You come and check to see if you can find out who left the fingerprints."
Chu Ming leaned on Vodka and turned his head away angrily. Just based on Gin's attitude of kicking him for no reason, how could he expect him to help when something happened?
Feeling the chill brought by Gin's gaze, Vodka, who was sandwiched between the two, obviously couldn't stand it. He whispered to Chu Ming, acting as a peacemaker and avoiding the main point: "Why don't we check it out? Aren't you curious about who left that fingerprint? Since it wasn't Maori Kogoro, someone must have deceived us in order to frame him."
Chu Ming glanced at Gin, sat on the sofa, and said in a domineering tone: "Gin, move the laptop over there."
Vodka wanted to do it for him, but was nailed to the spot by Chu Ming's fierce eyes. He touched his head helplessly. It was so miserable. Granburch was having a quarrel with his eldest brother, but why was he the one being glared at?
Gin didn't bother with Chu Ming after all. He leaned over and placed his laptop on the small coffee table in front of Chu Ming, then sat next to Chu Ming. Seeing that Chu Ming was bending forward uncomfortably, he pulled the laptop over and placed it on Chu Ming's legs, and even helped him hold it up. He gave Chu Ming a rare reminder: "Don't say some things casually. It's not good to get to the boss."
He thought Chu Ming was just talking nonsense. After all, he was always talking nonsense. Didn't he see that he didn't react when Chu Ming mentioned vodka? But it was fine for him to say such things in front of them. They knew Chu Ming didn't mean it. What if someone with ulterior motives told the boss about it?
Chu Ming was just importing fingerprints into the computer and running the program to compare them in the fingerprint database. Hearing this, he looked at Gin in surprise and said, "It's not like I haven't said this in front of the boss..."
"..."
Bai was worried about this kid.
The comparison progress bar on the computer quickly approached the end, and a green prompt popped up. Chu Ming looked at the data based on the comparison results and turned the screen to Gin.
"Kudo Shinichi?" Gin frowned and began to wonder who this person was.
"How is it possible!" Vodka was a little shocked. "Didn't he die a long time ago?"
Seeing Chu Ming and Gin both looking up at him, Vodka seemed to be in doubt. He looked at Gin and tried to verify: "It was the Dorobiga Park that our action team went to together. Do you remember it, brother? When we rode the roller coaster together, there was a murder case. When we completed the mission to find Cohen and Chianti, they were still riding the Ferris wheel."
Before Gin could react, Chu Ming was the first to get angry: "You secretly went to the amusement park for team building without me?? You also made an appointment to ride the roller coaster??? This is too much!!"
Vodka quickly explained: "You were not a code member at that time. It's not that I didn't take you with me."
Gin interrupted Vodka's explanation and narrowed his eyes: "What does that have to do with Kudo Shinichi?"
Vodka scratched his head helplessly: "It was during that transaction. Didn't Kudo Shinichi follow me? Didn't you find him? I wanted to shoot him, but you said it was inconvenient because of the police. So I fed him an APTX4869. He was clearly confirmed dead, so how could there be his fingerprints!"
Gin has killed too many people and often selectively forgets those he has killed. He pulled the computer in front of Chu Ming, entered the password to enter the intranet, found the death list of APTX4869, and saw a death confirmation behind Kudo Shinichi's name.
Scrolling further, in the confirmation column, a name appeared - Shirley.
Gin's eyes darkened, and murderous intent surged when he saw the name Shirley. Gin, who had always been suspicious, now had deep doubts in his heart.
The confirmation of Kudo Shinichi's death was made by Shirley. If she had been in cahoots with Kudo Shinichi at that time, she happened to help Kudo Shinichi cover up the truth of his death, and that Kudo Shinichi helped her escape from the organization.
The more Gin thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. With a gloomy face, he turned around and asked Vodka: "What's going on with that Kudo Shinichi?"
Vodka looked down and retrieved a file about Kudo Shinichi. It contained the cases he had been involved in and other relevant information about him. When Gin got the file and saw his relationship with Maori Kogoro's family, he couldn't help but sneer, and then ordered Vodka: "Go check and see when Kudo Shinichi has appeared. Since he is not dead, he must have left some clues."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Avoid Belmode. She is too excited about this matter."
Obviously Gin also noticed that something was wrong with Vermouth.
Chu Ming was leaning straight on the sofa at this time. Seeing Gin asking Vodka to check, he said silently: "If you are talking about the high school detective Kudo Shinichi, I have actually seen him."
"It should be the anniversary celebration of Teitan Middle School. I was getting to know Maori Kogoro and the others at the time, and they invited me to join them." Seeing that Vodka and Gin were focusing their attention on him, Chu Ming paused and continued, "There was a murder case at the time, and it was solved by the man who played the prince charming in the drama. I heard the kid from the Maori family call him 'Brother Shinichi', so he should be the Kudo Shinichi you mentioned."
Chu Ming did not tell the whole truth. After all, if he said that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, Gin probably would not believe it for a while. So he simply told Gin the truth he saw. As for what Gin would think, it had nothing to do with him.
His main purpose was not to cover up for Conan, but to cover up for himself. After all, if Conan's identity was exposed later, Gin would definitely question him, asking why he didn't discover his identity when he had a close relationship with that kid?
By then, he can confidently say that he saw that kid and Kudo Shinichi appear at the same time, and who would think of things in an unbelievable direction~
Chapter 619: The Enemy is Dark and We Are Bright
"So regarding that Kogoro Mori, should we send someone to--" Vodka was about to turn around and leave to arrange the investigation of Kudo Shinichi, but suddenly thought of something and asked.
Gin thought for a while and said, "Don't do anything yet. Send someone to keep an eye on them and see if he will contact that Kudo Shinichi recently."
Chu Ming listened at the side and felt that there was no more news, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
Gin stopped him and said, "Since you don't want to do it, then the task of gathering information is left to you. The organization will have people from the intelligence team to investigate the surrounding information. You happen to have some friendship with the detective, so you can try to find out indirectly."
Chu Ming paused, but did not refuse: "Okay, I'll go and keep an eye on it."
I don’t know if Conan will learn to be more restrained after this experience. Although he didn’t take the initiative to approach the organization this time, the organization’s information was stuffed into his brain in a form that could not be refused.
But after all, it was because he just stuck transmitters and bugs on people's doors for no reason, and his bug was made by the doctor specifically for him, so it was completely different from ordinary bugs.
Gin had seen this kind of eavesdropping device once and remembered it firmly. If it appeared again in the future, it would definitely be leaked.
It was already the next morning when Chu Ming rushed to the Mouri Detective Agency to find Conan. Conan had been in the hospital taking care of the injured Mouri Kogoro for the past few days.
What happened last time really scared him.
If he had been a step slower, his uncle, who knew nothing about these things, would have died in front of him.
At this time, Kogoro Mouri was talking about the crisis situation with Inspector Megure who came to investigate.
"It happened so fast that I saw a glimmer of light from the building opposite me out of the corner of my eye. I immediately realized something was wrong. I leaned out and shouted to the kid downstairs who only knew how to play football, "Hide quickly." At the same time, I deflected the bullet that was heading for my heart.
When it came to the climax, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help waving his hands, but unexpectedly the injury on his shoulder was affected and his face wrinkled instantly.
"Dad, just say what you want to say. Don't move your hands!" Xiaolan couldn't help but tear up when she saw her father showing off even though he was injured. "It was almost there. If you hadn't stuck your head out, the bullet would have hit your heart."
Seeing that Maori Kogoro was still in the mood to brag, Inspector Megure knew that his injuries were not serious, and could not help but interrupt him: "Then did you see clearly who they were?"
Maori Kogoro scratched his head: "At that time, they were standing on the top of the building over there, and they couldn't see anything at all..."
"What about Conan, did you see anything?" Inspector Megure's eyes fell on Conan.
Conan is the one who knows the most here, but he has no way of telling the police about this. He can only ask indirectly: "I seem to see that group of people, all wearing black clothes, could it be some kind of characteristic of them——"
Maori Kogoro's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Go away, go away, what do you know as a child? People who do bad things must wear black clothes."
Conan was interrupted by Kogoro Mouri, and Inspector Megure didn't take Conan's clue too seriously. After all, how could the clothes he was wearing be a clue?
Seeing that he could not get any useful information, Inspector Megure did not stay for too long. He only told Kogoro Mouri to take good care of his injuries and to be careful in the next few days to prevent the bandits from making a comeback.
Inspector Megure, who was about to go out, saw Chu Ming carrying some gifts at the door. He hurriedly greeted him and left.
Chu Ming came when Inspector Megure just started asking questions, but he didn't go in because he wanted to see what Conan would say.
Unexpectedly, he happened to see the subtle expression on Kogoro Mori's face.
When Conan mentioned that everyone was wearing black clothes just now, Conan didn't pay attention. He saw clearly from the door that the look on Mouri Kogoro's face was clearly nervous. He must know something, so he interrupted Conan and changed the subject.
Could it be that Kogoro Mori also knows about the organization?
"Uncle Maori." Chu Ming remained expressionless and walked into the ward carrying a gift.
"It's Chu Ming. Look at you. You just came. What else did you bring?" Maori Kogoro sat up with the help of Xiaolan. Looking at Chu Ming who came in, he changed the subject and said, "Did you bring me some wine?"
Before Chu Ming could say anything, Xiao Lan exploded: "What are you drinking? You're injured!"
Maori Kogoro looked at his daughter who was still beside him and laughed awkwardly: "I was just joking, just joking——"
"I didn't bring any wine because my uncle was injured. My friend has a bottle of Louis XIII hidden in his house. It is said to be over 40 years old. I brought it to my house last time. I'll bring it to you when my uncle gets better."
Chu Ming unceremoniously used Gin's wine collection as a favor. Anyway, the last time he went to Gin's safe house, he had hidden a lot of wine in his wine cellar, and he had no idea that a few bottles were missing.
Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up: "A collection-level Louis XIII? I feel like I'm ready now!"
Chu Ming laughed and waved his hand: "Then when uncle is discharged from the hospital, I will bring it to you as a discharge gift."
Kogoro Mouri rubbed his hands with a chuckle, and then was ruthlessly suppressed by Xiaolan.
Chu Ming walked over to Conan, who was in a trance by the window, and patted his shoulder: "Come back to your senses."
Conan looked at Chu Ming beside him and forced a smile: "Brother Chu Ming."
Chu Ming saw that he was not in high spirits, so he said something to Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro, saying that he would take Conan downstairs to buy some food.
As a result, at the stairs, he met the professor and Haibara Ai who had hurried over after hearing the news.
"Shinichi, what happened? Are you okay?" The doctor asked worriedly.
Conan shook his head and told him everything that had happened before.
"You mean, Gin and his team found the bug and tracked them down to the Maori Detective Agency?" Huihara Ai's face turned pale, and her lips were trembling slightly. "Doesn't that mean they found you?"
"No, they didn't find me. They thought it was a bug placed by Uncle Maori, so they attacked him—" Conan regretted it very much, "If I had known that Rena Mizunashi was a member of the organization, I shouldn't have placed the bug there to help with the investigation."
