Chu Ming looked at Vermouth helping Conan to feel miserable and sneered, "Then go away. I won't kill you in front of you."
"..."
Before Vermouth could say anything, Chu Ming stepped forward and pushed her away. Looking at Conan who had turned around and ran a few steps, Chu Ming strode forward, leaned over and stretched out his left hand to grab Conan's collar, and then his right hand grabbed his neck and lifted him up from the ground, then turned around and pressed him on the car.
Looking at Conan who was struggling by prying his hands apart, a flash of hostility flashed across Chu Ming's eyes, and he slowly exerted force with his palms.
Conan only felt a feeling of suffocation. He took a deep breath, but felt that the air was getting thinner and thinner. Every nerve in his body was clamoring in pain. He tried to reach out to pry Chu Ming's hand apart, but his strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree. He was unable to resolve the predicament at all.
He really didn't expect that he would actually lose his life like this. His eyesight gradually became unfocused, and his hands, which were trying to save himself, seemed to be drooping weakly.
Vermouth looked at Chu Ming and saw that he really wanted to kill him. She was a little flustered. She reached out and grabbed Chu Ming's arm, trying to save Conan: "Wait, Granburch, don't kill him."
Chu Ming let her pull his hand away. Conan, who was originally pressed above the car window by him, lost his control and fell directly to the ground. His head hit the car door with a dull sound.
The feeling of suffocation from lack of oxygen had not yet dissipated. Conan was gasping for breath, his eyes went dark, and he felt dizzy.
Vermouth quickly squatted down to check on him, and saw a purple handprint slowly emerging on his neck, which showed how much strength Granburch had used just now.
She felt a little distressed, but it was difficult to show it now, so she could only stand up and try to negotiate with Chu Ming: "You don't really want to kill him, right? After all, there are many opportunities for you to do it. Since we can talk, tell me what the conditions are."
Chu Ming looked down at Conan, who was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment. He poked him with his toes, and seeing that he had no reaction, he couldn't help but chuckled: "Are you sure?"
He certainly wouldn't kill Conan himself. What could he do with just a few points after killing him?
Moreover, Ireland will be able to find out Conan's identity immediately. Once his identity is exposed and the organization wants to eliminate him, he can still follow Gin to get some points.
It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to grab something from Vermouth.
Hearing Chu Ming's interest, Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course."
"Bourbon has quit, and Kiel is probably busy enough too. You will take over my future tasks, right?" Chu Ming took the opportunity to speak loudly.
"All of them?" Vermouth gritted her teeth secretly. This guy has been with Conan for quite a while, and he never brought anyone to Gin. Now he's taking advantage of the situation to rob him. How cool of him.
Chu Ming didn't say anything, just thinking that she had accepted the conditions, and turned his gaze to Conan again: "Gin is looking for him now. You told him the relevant news. Do you want him to fall into Gin's trap?"
Vermouth brushed back the long hair that fell on her cheek, looked at Conan helplessly, and was about to say something when she realized that the boy had recovered his breath and was now quietly listening to their conversation with his ears perked up.
She looked away as if nothing had happened: "How could he be so stupid..."
"Don't you know whether he is that stupid or not?" Chu Ming looked at Vermouth deceiving herself and couldn't help but sneer.
Conan leaned against the car door, half-closed his eyes, and felt dizzy. Hearing Granburch's familiar words, he was a little confused. Granburch seemed to know him very well...
Could it be the people around him?
As far as he knew, Granburch, like Vermouth, was good at disguise, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to change his face and lurk beside him...
But Granburch clearly knew his identity, but never reported it. He originally thought that it was Vermouth's identity that could suppress Granburch, but today it seems that Granburch's status in the organization is obviously not low, which is even more unreasonable.
I could have reported it to Gin, but there was no response. But when I saw him, I could have the heart to kill him...
This is so strange, there must be something wrong.
Chapter 627 Brother Chu Ming is already in a difficult situation
Although Chu Ming didn't know what Conan was thinking, but when he saw the points on his panel rising, he knew that Conan was not only awake, but was also brainstorming.
Chu Ming glanced at him, his lips curled slightly, and he glanced at Vermouth: "After this mission is over, I will let Gin arrange more missions for you in other places. You stay away from Mihua for the time being. As long as your savior doesn't dance in front of me, I won't do anything; but if he keeps asking for information about the organization so recklessly, or if I find out that you leaked information about the organization to him again, I will no longer show mercy."
Without waiting for Belmode to say anything, Chu Ming reached out and pushed her into the car, then considerately helped her close the door. He leaned over the window and warned in a cold tone, "This is a notice, and also an order."
After thinking for a while, he softened his tone a little: "Sister, you take care of yourself."
Vermouth looked at Chu Ming deeply, then turned to look at Conan who was lying on the ground. She knew that since Granburch had said that he would not attack Conan again today, he would not go back on his word. On the contrary, if she stayed any longer, it might not be certain. She could only step on the accelerator and roar towards the exit.
Watching Vermouth's car gradually disappear from sight, Chu Ming glanced at Conan, turned around and left.
When he just left, he released the robot disguised as himself. Just now, in order to save people, Minoru Fukase's girlfriend picked up the knife that fell on the ground and stabbed randomly. Inspector Megure was stabbed in the stomach in order to protect others. There was chaos upstairs at the moment.
He and Officer Takagi sent the person to the ambulance together, so there was no need to worry about Conan not being able to find him and becoming suspicious.
Conan listened to the footsteps gradually fading away, then slowly opened his eyes.
The floor of the parking lot was cold and hard. He struggled to sit up, looked at the empty parking lot, and slowly exhaled. He touched his neck and felt a burning pain.
He carefully turned up his collar and zipped it up to the top to cover the handprints left by being pinched. It was summer now and he couldn't cover it with a scarf, so he could only use his collar to cover it.
When he got upstairs, he found that not only the police were gone, but even Chu Ming, who had just been eating ice cream on the stairs, was nowhere to be seen.
He took out his cell phone and called Chu Ming.
Chu Ming just received a message from Gin, saying that a painter had reported to the police that he knew who the murderer was and that the location was in Hachioji City. He and Vodka were going there now, and asked Chu Ming to find a way to intercept the police halfway.
The unexpected mission disrupted Chu Ming's plan, so when Conan called him, he picked up the phone and before Conan could speak, he took the initiative to say, "Conan, where have you been? You disappeared in a flash. I wanted to look for you, but Officer Megure was stabbed by Fukase Minoru's girlfriend and has been taken to the hospital by ambulance. I'm following you in my car now. You go back and wait for me."
Conan heard this and didn't want Chu Ming to worry, so he said, "It's okay, Brother Chu Ming, I can go back by myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Conan was shocked by his own hoarse voice. Chu Ming also paused: "What's wrong with your voice? Did you suddenly enter the voice change period or did you accidentally turn on the voice changer..."
Conan quickly covered up: "No, I choked when I was eating just now, and I coughed for a long time before I coughed it out. My throat is a little uncomfortable, so my voice is a little hoarse."
Chu Ming saw through it but didn't say anything. He just followed Conan's words and continued: "Be careful. What? Are you afraid that I will steal your food? When you ran down just now, did you find something?"
"I just found out that there was something wrong with the girl who was held hostage. I saw her suddenly leave quietly, so I followed her. It turned out to be Vermouth." Conan bought a bottle of water to moisten his throat, but did not tell her about his encounter with Granburr. "She revealed a little information. The reason why the organization was involved in this case was because there was an undercover agent."
"Undercover?" Chu Ming didn't know what Conan had imagined based on Vermouth's brief three letters, so he asked, "What do you mean?"
“Vermouth only said so much, but I guess it’s because the murderer or the victim in this case is an undercover sent by that organization, but it should be more than that. Judging from Ge—cough, from Vermouth’s attitude, maybe the undercover has some secrets of that organization, so they are so anxious to find clues before the police…”
Conan spoke in a hoarse voice as he expressed his speculation, which was not far from the truth.
The difference is that your brain is active.
Chu Ming confirmed his speculation, chatted with Conan for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
He drove the car to the location designated by Gin, which was an overpass above a street. The police had already sent someone to drive to find the painter, and the road below was the only way for the police car to pass.
He took out the sniper rifle from the system backpack, installed the silencer, and when he saw the police car coming from a distance, he directly shot at the tire and drove away without even looking at the result. It was impossible for him to fail in such a small mission.
After Sato and Takagi controlled the car with a flat tire to the side of the road, Sato looked at the overpass with some suspicion, but there was nothing on it. She lowered her eyes and thought she was overthinking.
After Chu Ming drove off the overpass, he changed his clothes and disguised himself in the car. Originally, this task should have been done by Chianti and Cohen, but their cars were stuck halfway. Gin could only urgently mobilize Chu Ming, who was nearby, to do it. However, even so, it was a step too late. When they arrived at the place, the person had already been captured.
Chu Ming didn't take this matter to heart. He went to the hospital, visited Officer Megure, made up his lie, and then drove back.
When I got home, I saw Conan hiding in his room, discussing the case with the doctor and Haibara Ai on the phone, and he also mentioned Granburch's name.
Chu Ming approached quietly, and heard Conan trying to find out about Huibara Ai as if he had mentioned it accidentally: "Come to think of it, not only Vermouth, but also the member codenamed Granburch knows our identity, but he never reported it-"
Of course, Huihara Ai knew why, but she couldn't say a word to Conan, so she could only change the subject: "Didn't you only meet Vermouth today? Why did you mention Granburch again?"
Of course Conan felt a little guilty. He didn't want Haibara Ai and the others to know that he was almost killed by Granburr, for fear that they would worry. He did not mention his guess that Granburr might be someone around him, so he could only change the subject.
"I just thought of it. Since the organization was able to receive the news so quickly and sent Vermouth to investigate in disguise, it means that they must have someone lurking in the police team. I must find him out!"
"If that's the case, you'd better stop immediately. You can't participate in this matter anymore, otherwise your identity will be exposed to more members of the organization. Just because Vermouth and Granburch didn't report it doesn't mean they will do the same!" Haibara Ai's voice was serious, full of warnings.
Huibara frowned and sighed softly. Brother Chu Ming's life in the organization was already very difficult. He didn't have that many favors to use, and the organization was not a place that valued favors. If Conan took a wrong step, the damage he brought to Brother Chu Ming would be impossible to reverse.
Chapter 628 APTX4869 can make people rejuvenate
Obviously, if Conan could listen to him, he wouldn't be that stubborn kid.
Although he knew it was very dangerous, he believed that opportunities and dangers coexist. Vermouth, Granburrch, and even Gin had all been dispatched, which meant that this secret must have endangered the foundation of the organization, and he had to investigate it.
Chu Ming could actually understand Conan's thoughts. After all, he didn't want to be trapped in this child's body forever, nor did he want Xiaolan to wait for him. He had to overthrow the organization. Otherwise, even if Haibara Ai could develop an antidote, he couldn't go to Xiaolan openly.
So even if he knew the danger, he couldn't give up.
Tsk tsk, this is a two-way love~
Chu Ming waited at the door for a while, and when he saw Conan hang up the phone, he pulled up his collar to cover the scar on his neck, and then slowly walked in.
"Are you on the phone with Ai?"
Conan nodded, with a rare look of frustration between his brows. He slumped in the wide chair, looking particularly thin. "Habara said that it is too dangerous to investigate further. If the organization really finds out, we will all be hunted down by the organization. But seeing such a big clue in front of us, they don't investigate. I——"
"I know you won't listen to my advice, so I can only remind you to be careful." Chu Ming handed him a glass of milk and didn't give him any positive advice, "Drink it and go to bed early."
Conan nodded, took the milk and went back to his room to rest.
Chu Ming watched him close the door and turned back to his room. He turned on the computer and hacked into the entire Mihua surveillance system. Countless surveillance images appeared on the computer screen in front of him.
Chu Ming skillfully input the commands and enlarged several of the interfaces. He just happened to see Ireland walking slowly in the corridor of Teitan High School and entering the warehouse where the clothing was stored.
Chu Ming turned on the camera in the warehouse. In the video, Ireland carefully took out the clothes that Kudo Shinichi wore at the school anniversary and extracted the fingerprints on the helmet.
After the fingerprints were extracted, Ireland did not stop. He got into the car and left after leaving the school gate. According to road surveillance, he should have gone to Teitan Primary School.
Chu Ming narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Ireland must have received a lot of information about Kudo Shinichi from the police, and even matched him with Conan.
Although Ireland seemed to be arrogant, Pisco did not die this time. He completed his last order smoothly and is now organizing to enjoy his old age.
The BOSS will not treat unfairly this old man who is loyal to the organization and has moderate ability. His current identity is still a big shot in the financial world, and the car company he owns alone is enough to make his later years a worry-free life.
As far as Chu Ming knows, Ireland went to visit Pisco first after returning from the United States, and then reported to Gin. Since there is no major conflict between the two, Conan's identity will definitely be delivered to Gin if nothing unexpected happens.
However, judging from Conan's experience of changing from big to small, he will definitely not die, but it is not certain whether he will be caught and taken to the laboratory.
Chu Ming leaned back in his chair, frowning slightly as he watched Ireland approach the truth step by step.
If he wants to save Conan, it is actually very simple. Now that Hiroki is in his hands, when Ireland is doing fingerprint comparison on the computer, it is not difficult to hack into his computer and tamper with the results. Once he confirms that Conan and Kudo Shinichi are not the same person, they will only track down Kudo Shinichi and will no longer focus on Conan.
But Chu Ming didn't really want to do that. Huihara Ai was now concentrating on studying how to make an antidote, and it was impossible for her to continue studying which ingredient in APTX4869 had become smaller.
If the organization gets wind of Conan's news, the group of researchers might be able to gradually analyze the medicine based on Conan's condition, and maybe there's a way to rejuvenate the BOSS as well.
Chu Ming rubbed his fingers in confusion and looked at Ireland on the screen. After a while, he silently turned off the computer, got up and went out.
Conan tossed and turned in the room and couldn't fall asleep. Suddenly he heard the roar of a car engine outside the window. He got up and leaned over the window to take a look, and found that Chu Ming was driving away.
He looked blankly at the direction where Chu Ming left. Where was Chu Ming going at this late hour? Did something happen at the company again?
Conan didn't take it too seriously. After all, he knew that Chu Ming had opened a company and the company's affairs were very busy. He also had to run around for Chu Ming's affairs. He touched his still burning throat and went back into bed.
It was almost midnight and there were few people on the streets. Chu Ming rushed to the underground base where the BOSS was.
Karasuma Renya has been in good health recently. The researchers have developed part of the prescription that Chu Ming and his colleagues got from the ship last time, and the medicine they made is indeed effective.
His health had improved a lot during this period, and he had the illusion that all his illnesses had healed. When Chu Ming came over, he was sitting at the wooden table, quietly reading a book in his hands. The gentle light fell on his face, which had taken on a bit of color, like delicate porcelain.
Seeing Chu Ming knocking on the door outside, Karasuma Renye put down the book in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes flashed with a blazing light: "It's so late, what do you want to do with me?"
