Chu Ming had no doubt that he could see something. Ireland's insight was not weak. After all, he was a member who could stand on his own in the United States. Conan had not been discovered before because no one had ever thought that he could become a child, and no one in the organization had ever thought that he could survive. It was just that they were in the dark.
The organization has now confirmed that Kudo Shinichi is not dead, and has been paying close attention to the people around Mouri Kogoro. He has clearly warned Conan, but when he saw Gin's car, he still chased after it like a pervert.
Tsk tsk, Conan truly loves Gin. It's a pity that Gin doesn't pay any attention to him and is only thinking about catching Haibara Ai.
Hiss, this plot is enough for him to write another melodramatic article.
When Conan ran back again, the police had ended their halftime break and continued their investigation. Kogoro Mouri was chatting with Inspector Megure about the known clues, and Chu Ming was chatting casually with Xiaolan. To be precise, Xiaolan was giving Chu Ming simple and straightforward questions.
Conan spends a lot of time with Chu Ming normally. Xiaolan is carefully trying to ask him indirectly to see if she can get some clues from Chu Ming, but her questioning method is still too immature.
As Chu Ming sighed, he also revealed some small details to Xiaolan like a colander. What he said was quite obscure, but looking at Xiaolan's increasingly deep eyes, it seemed that she had listened to him.
It's time to find something for Conan to do, so that he won't be always thinking about the organization's little piece of land. He hasn't had time to inherit the throne yet.
Conan watched from afar as Xiaolan's expression changed from dazed to frowning, and he suddenly felt panicky and hurried over: "Sister Xiaolan, Brother Chu Ming, what are you talking about?"
Chu Ming looked back at Conan's inquiring eyes and replied calmly, "I'm talking to your sister Xiaolan about some adult topics. Children, please don't ask."
???
Conan's face was full of resentment. He squeezed in between Chu Ming and Xiaolan angrily, using his body to form a human wall, trying to separate the two of them.
Xiaolan couldn't help but stare at Conan when she saw his childish behavior. He looked so childish. Could it really be Shinichi?

In the evening, Conan still did not return to the Maori Detective Agency. He was temporarily staying at Chu Ming's place for the past few days, so that he could observe nearby to see if anyone went to Kudo's house to investigate.
During this period, he did not go to Dr. Agasa's place. After all, Haibara Ai also lived there, and the possibility of the two of them being discovered if they were together would be higher. If there was anything, they would only contact each other by phone.
So now, he found out that the organization was also intervening in this case, and his first reaction was to discuss it with the Doctor.
Chu Ming sat nearby and listened to him calling Dr. Agasa to discuss why the organization was targeting this case.
After finishing the experiment, Haibara Ai heard Dr. Agasa talking on the phone in the living room. She walked over and suddenly pressed the speaker button, and Conan's voice immediately came out.
"...Shh, Doctor, keep your voice down. Don't let Huibara Ai hear you. What is she doing now?"
Dr. Agasa looked embarrassed. He scratched his hairless head and said a little embarrassedly: "Hahaha. That——"
Huibara Ai crossed her arms and said coldly: "I'm so sorry, great detective, I heard it."
Conan suddenly got stuck, and after a long while he exhaled: "Uh, Huiyuan, we don't want to hide it from you, we just worry that you will think too much after hearing this..."
"What did you discover this time?"
Conan accompanied Kogoro Mouri to the Metropolitan Police Department, and found that Vermouth was lurking in the police department and sent a message to the BOSS's email address. He chased her out and found Gin's Porsche and told Haibara about it.
When Huiyuan Ai heard Gin's name, her body still trembled unconsciously: "So what do you think?"
Conan knew what Haibara Ai was worried about, and was a little hesitant, but he still spoke firmly: "They are going to infiltrate the police to investigate, so they certainly can't use their real faces, and Vermouth can disguise herself, so she is the best candidate. For Gin and Vermouth to be involved, this case must be somehow related to the organization, and it may be evidence that can deal a heavy blow to that organization, so I think--"
"So what do you want to do? You clearly know that the organization has been targeting you, why don't you restrain yourself?" Sometimes, Huihara Ai really wanted to take apart Conan's brain and see what was inside. She sighed softly. She had never been able to stop Conan from doing what he wanted to do. "I'll go with you. You must be careful, otherwise, once you are discovered--"
Conan disagreed: "Brother Chu Ming will accompany me, so it's better for you not to appear with me during this period of time."
Huiyuan Ai was not so excited at first, but when she heard Chu Ming's name, she exploded instantly: "No, I don't agree."
Others don't know Chu Ming's identity, but she knows it very well. At this time, Chu Ming cannot hang out with Conan. After all, Conan's identity is shaky and very sensitive. At this time, if Chu Ming, as a member of the organization, is discovered by Gin to be hanging out with Conan, Chu Ming might be implicated.
"Haibara——?"
Conan was a little surprised by Haibara Ai's sudden sharp voice, and even the doctor looked at Haibara Ai in astonishment.
Huiyuan Ai had no way to explain, so she could only emphasize again: "I want to go."
In this way, if she is really discovered by the organization, Brother Chu Ming can use the excuse that he discovered a flaw in her identity and brought her with him...
Conan had no choice but to look back at Chu Ming. Seeing that Chu Ming nodded slightly and did not refuse, he said, "Okay, let the doctor take two days off for us, and we will go out and see if we can find any clues."
Chu Ming watched Conan hang up the phone, looking a little worried, and asked vaguely with a lollipop in his mouth: "What's wrong, what are you worried about?"
Conan shook his head: "I'm a little nervous, I always feel like something bad is going to happen..."
Chu Ming casually grabbed a lollipop and threw it to him, saying nonchalantly: "It's okay, there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain, there's no point in worrying, just eat some candy and go to bed early."
Conan took the candy and put it in his mouth, muttering quietly: "Eating candy at night will cause tooth decay."
Chu Ming glanced at him and threw a pajamas over his head: "Go to sleep. What's wrong with your cavities? I'm not worried about you. You are in the period of replacing teeth now. If all the cavities are gone, you can replace them again."
"..."
Chapter 625 One dares to ask, one dares to answer
For the next two days, Conan and Haibara Ai took two days off to investigate the case, but after visiting all the crime scenes, they did not get any useful clues, so they had to go back to school to continue their classes.
Chu Ming went home and took a nap. When he woke up, it was already afternoon. He checked the messages on his phone, got up and drove to Mihua Shopping Center.
While he was sleeping, Ireland, who was lurking in the Metropolitan Police Department, sent new information that the suspect of the serial murders, Minoru Fukase, has now appeared. Since the police became suspicious of him, they have been sending people to keep an eye on his girlfriend.
This morning, the police found that his girlfriend got off at Mihua Station and was currently wandering around the Mihua Shopping Mall, probably waiting for someone.
Chu Ming does not have any tasks for this matter for the time being, but he has had a nap and it is a good opportunity for him to go and watch the fun and have a bite to eat.
When he entered the mall, he found that the police had already deployed personnel. There were plainclothes officers staying on every floor. Their eyes were focused on a woman with long chestnut curly hair on the fourth floor. This should be Fukase Minoru's girlfriend. Looking around, he didn't see Conan, so he guessed that she hadn't arrived yet.
Since the real show hasn't started yet, he might as well go eat something first.
He took the elevator straight up to the sixth floor, ate a bowl of ramen, then walked out of the store and bought an ice cream nearby. While eating, he leaned on the railing and looked down with interest.
At this time, there was a familiar little head on the fifth floor, also stuck on the railing, looking down.
It seems that he eats at just the right speed.
Conan was staring intently at the point where the police's attention was focused, and suddenly he felt that he was also being stared at.
He was startled and looked up instinctively, and saw Chu Ming above him, smiling and shaking an ice cream at him.
He took the elevator to the fifth floor, took an ice cream that Chu Ming had just bought for him, and leaned on the railing in the same posture as Chu Ming, sipped it.
"Brother Chu Ming, why are you here too?" Conan was a little curious. He happened to be passing by the entrance of the mall on his way home from school. He saw Officer Takagi walking hurriedly into the mall, so he thought of following him to see what was going on. As a result, he found that there were many police officers lurking here, so he came up to see what was going on.
"You guys went to school, I went back to sleep, and came here to eat after I woke up. After dinner, I found that many acquaintances came, so I just lay here to take a look." Chu Ming lowered his head and looked down, "So many people came, I don't know who they are waiting for."
At this moment, the girl who had been staring at the mall gate suddenly stretched out her hand and waved: "Amin, Amin, I'm here."
Minoru Fukase looked at the bright girl on the fourth floor, a smile appeared on his face, he waved his hand and got on the escalator.
The police kept their eyes on him, but there were a few children in front of him, so they were hesitant but could not take action. However, the children were going to the seventh floor, and Minoru Fukase was going to the fourth floor to meet his girlfriend, so they planned to take action the moment the children separated from him.
As Minoru Fukase came down the escalator and was about to walk towards his girlfriend, the police began to take action. People gathered here from all directions, and it was very obvious from above.
However, as the police were blocking the area, Officer Yamamura was running while ready to take out his inspector's handbook from his arms, ready to stand in front of Minoru Fukase and give him an unexpected police shock. As a result, he accidentally tripped and the handbook flew out of his hand and landed directly at Minoru Fukase's feet.
Looking at the handbook that had been opened and revealed a clear police badge and had fallen at the feet of the person he was about to catch, the air seemed to freeze at that moment.
Seeing this, Qianye quickly blocked their way: "Police, you have no way to escape, just surrender!"
Minoru Fukase looked at the blocked road and slowly retreated with his girlfriend. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of someone coming up the escalator downstairs. He quickly took out a knife from his pocket and waved it away. He grabbed the girl who was coming up, strangled her neck with one hand and waved the knife with the other hand.
"Everyone step back, don't come over here, if anyone comes over I will kill her!" Although he didn't know why this girl stupidly came up the escalator when everyone was running away, Minoru Fukase did not let go of the hostage who came to his door. He put the tip of the knife against the girl's neck and threatened the police to step back, while taking the escalator downstairs with his girlfriend.
Conan was a little suspicious when he saw the girl rushing forward. When he used his glasses to zoom in, he found that the girl's right ankle was slightly bulging, obviously showing that she was armed, so he narrowed his eyes.
"Brother Chu Ming, I'll go down and take a look." Without waiting for Chu Ming to say anything, he ran to the escalator quickly, and in the blink of an eye he appeared downstairs.
Chu Ming watched him coldly as he squatted at the corner of the second floor. When Minoru Fukase slowly came down the escalator, he activated his ball cannon.
The ball drew a perfect arc and spun towards Minoru Fukase's head.
The kidnapped girl, Vermouth, frowned and squatted down suddenly when she saw the ball flying over. Fukase Minoru, who didn't have time to react, rolled his eyes and fell down.
Vermouth took one look at the fallen man, chuckled barely audibly, and turned away without any reluctance.
Seeing this, Conan hurriedly chased after him. Chu Ming glanced at Fukase Minoru who was surrounded by the police, and quietly followed Conan towards the underground garage.
In the underground garage, Vermouth had just taken out the car keys and was about to open the door when Conan suddenly appeared behind her.
"Are you leaving just like that? Aren't you planning to look for that man for something?" Conan paused and called out her name, "Vermouth."
Vermouth's slightly hunched shoulders slowly straightened up, and she turned back to look at Conan: "There's nothing I can do about it. It was you who forced me away, wasn't it? And that man was not the murderer."
"Yes, his right arm was injured, so he couldn't swing the knife to kill people." Conan agreed, "Why is your organization investigating this case?"
Vermouth chuckled: "You asked very directly, how can you be so sure that I will tell you?"
"Tell me." Conan lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice.
“Because of NOC.”
"Clap clap clap."
Before Conan could continue to ask, a round of applause came from behind them: "One dares to ask, and the other dares to answer. You really surprise me~"
Vermouth's face changed drastically. She turned around and looked behind her, and saw Chu Ming, dressed in black, with Shotake Yusuke's face, slowly coming out from behind a car.
【Finally back~Today's second chapter~】
Chapter 626 There Must Be Something Wrong
Vermouth turned around and pulled Conan behind her. She looked at Chu Ming, who came out of the darkness and stopped at the junction of light and darkness, with a look of mockery and malice on his face. She clenched her fists slightly and said, "Granburch, why are you here?"
"Of course I came here with your little friend." Chu Ming stopped and looked at Vermouth who was standing in front of the car and protecting Conan tightly. He said in a cold tone: "Vermouth, you have crossed the line."
Vermouth knew what Chu Ming meant. Granburch knew that she would let Conan go more or less. She thought that the reason why Granburch didn't care whether she caught Conan or not was because in his mind Conan was not a threat, so he didn't care too much about it before.
But she was indeed in the wrong today. It was a big taboo to leak the mission details without authorization before the organization's mission was completed.
However, she was not prepared to tell Conan everything. She only wanted to tell Conan a little bit, but she was caught by Granburr...
Seeing her in a daze, Chu Ming smiled maliciously at Conan who leaned his head out, then slowly took out a pistol from his side, installed a silencer, and loaded it.
Conan couldn't help but take a step back, and his back hit Vermouth's car. The cold touch made his heart sink, and he touched the anesthetic needle on his wrist.
Based on the principle of striking first, he poked his head out from behind Vermouth and shot an anesthetic needle in the direction of Chu Ming, then opened the car door and prepared to hide in the car to prevent Granburch from shooting.
But he pulled hard and couldn't open the car door. The car that Vermouth had unlocked before was locked again at some point.
Chu Ming dodged the anesthetic needle that was shot at his neck, suppressed the smile on his face, and with murderous intent surging out of him, he took two steps forward to catch Conan who was trying to escape, but was stopped by Vermouth who reacted quickly.
Chu Ming's face completely darkened. He stared at Vermouth with warnings in his eyes: "Vermouth, are you going to stop me?"
Although Vermouth was a little panicked, she remained calm. She tore off the disguise on her face and blinked at Chu Ming: "Don't be so angry, Granburch, you know he is my savior, and I can't just watch you kill him~"
