Chu Ming suddenly realized: "Do you think Ireland is gathering information for Kudo Shinichi?"
So this is why Gin decided to kill Ireland directly...
Poor Ireland, because he tried to get information from Gin, he directly aroused Gin's suspicion, which then turned into murderous intent.
"That's right, and his identity has been leaked, and the police are surrounding the tower, so we might as well just kill him." Probably because he didn't need to recruit people himself, Gin was quite good at dealing with his colleagues.
"You misunderstood him. He did not collude with Kudo Shinichi." Chu Ming shook his head and cleared Ireland's name. "But the figure you saw on the tower at that time was Kudo Shinichi."
Suddenly feeling that what he said was a bit ambiguous, Chu Ming added: "Contrary to your guess, Ireland investigated Kudo Shinichi's whereabouts and thought they had caught you, so they planned to report to the boss."
Gin's face turned cold. He said that the intelligence team was a bunch of rubbish. They had been investigating Kudo Shinichi for such a long time but had not received any news. However, the Irish immigrant had only been here for a few days and had already found out Kudo Shinichi's whereabouts.
"Then why didn't you kill him then?" Gin looked at the young man with a confident smile on the computer screen and suddenly felt murderous.
Chu Ming was too lazy to turn the computer around, so he just stood up and sat next to Gin, activated the program, transmitted the data from the optoelectronic turret on the nose of the helicopter, clicked on the picture taken by the night vision camera, and enlarged one frame for Gin to see.
In the picture, through the gap in the railings of the iron tower, you can clearly see a short figure running upwards amid the hail of bullets.
Conan's Escape
"Is it a brat?" Gin frowned slightly, and as Chu Ming zoomed in on the image, his face suddenly turned cold, "It's the brat from Maori Kogoro's family!"
Oh, it's obvious that Conan's recent incident of breaking the glass by kicking it, which caused Chianti and Cohen to fail to kill Kogoro Mouri, has already registered in Gin's mind.
Chu Ming didn't say anything and waited for Gin to sort things out himself. It was obvious that Gin was capable of being the leader of the action team and could hold the position of the boss's most trusted confidant. In addition to his loyalty, it was also inseparable from his brains.
It only took him a moment to figure it out: "That kid is Kudo Shinichi?"
"Yes, that's him." Chu Ming took out a photo from his side. This was a photo of her and Shinichi that he had taken from Xiaolan before. "Look, this is what Kudo Shinichi looked like when he was a child, and this is what Conan looks like after taking off his glasses."
Gin took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, but he didn't light it. He leaned against the back of the sofa and looked at Chu Ming with a serious look: "Give me a reason."
Gin's incoherent words made Chu Ming stunned for a moment, but then he understood what Gin wanted to ask.
"He can't be killed now." Chu Ming took out a lighter from the drawer of the coffee table and stepped forward to light the cigarette in Gin's mouth.
"Hmm?" Gin didn't refuse. He tilted his head and lit the cigarette with the help of Chu Ming's fire. He took a deep breath and a slightly questioning hum came out of his nose.
"Kudo Shinichi took APTX-4869 and turned into a child. Isn't this exactly what the boss needs?"
Chu Ming stopped there, but it was obvious that Gin also knew the purpose of the BOSS's experiment. Just based on Chu Ming's words, he immediately understood what he had not said.
"If you're not killing, why not arrest him?" Gin bit his cigarette, his half-long silver hair covering his forehead, revealing only one eye that was cold and full of murderous intent.
"After all, free-range animals are more energetic than caged ones~" Chu Ming said meaningfully.
However, Gin was somewhat disdainful. He pressed his half-smoked cigarette on the photo on the table and burned off half of the head of the boy who smiled as brightly as the little girl. "But it's not a good idea to let a dog that is too curious and behaves recklessly roam free."
He obviously remembered the bug that was stuffed under Kiel's shoe. If he continued to investigate cases everywhere, he might be killed any day. It would be better to stay in the laboratory for safety.
"Oh, I stole the photos and was planning to put them back, why did you burn them?" Chu Ming scolded, looking at the destroyed photos speechlessly, "It's okay, no matter how curious a dog is, it can't go far with a collar. But it's true that its behavior was reckless..."
Chu Ming's eyes flickered, and he suddenly thought of something, and a happy smile appeared on his lips: "How about - you go and scare him?"
After all, considering the shadow Conan casts on Gin, Gin's appearance is more effective than anyone else's.
He can also make some extra money~
Chapter 634 Just Give Him Some Mental Stimulation
It's a pity that Gin was not willing to play this game of scaring children with Chu Ming. After knowing the truth, he turned against Chu Ming and left him alone in the living room while he went upstairs to rest.
Looking at Gin's extremely ruthless back, Chu Ming threw a series of punches at the air in helplessness and anger.
Damn it, if you don’t want to cooperate, then forget it, he will go find Vermouth!
Just as he was about to take out his phone, he suddenly remembered that Vermouth had just been sent to Yokohama for a series of tasks by him and was not in Tokyo at all.
Chu Ming dropped his phone, feeling rather uncomfortable. Without Vermouth's participation in this matter, it would be too boring for him to perform a one-man show by himself.
He has to find someone to accompany him, right?
Chu Ming opened the address book and swiped his fingers across the screen to see if he could find a resentful person to join in.
Suddenly, his hand stopped moving, and he looked at Bourbon's name on the screen and blinked thoughtfully.
It seems like he hasn't played with Bourbon in a while?
Ever since Bourbon was brainwashed, apart from being loyal to the BOSS, he seemed to have devoted all his attention to the intelligence team, specifically investigating the whereabouts of Shuichi Akai.
But Bourbon is obviously still a member of his team. After all, the boss did not announce the disbandment of their temporary team.
The captain has a mission to summon team members for assistance - should that be okay?
Chu Ming happily made a unilateral decision, and just as he was about to contact Bourbon, his cell phone rang.
——It’s Conan.
It's been so long since I remembered to call him. Could it be that the little detective was planning to look for him to review the situation? I thought he would be busy.
"Conan? How's your investigation going? I heard the uncle said the murderer has been found?"
"Brother Chu Ming." Conan's voice was a little low, "I won't sleep at your place tonight. Xiaolan is in the hospital, so I'll stay here with her."
"What's wrong with Xiaolan?" Chu Ming was a little surprised. He just gave Xiaolan an anesthetic needle. Why did she need to go to the hospital?
"I don't know either. I tracked the murderer to Tokyo Tower, and ran into a member of the organization who was disguised as Inspector Matsumoto, and that Granburr." Conan stood outside the ward, looking through the door at the girl lying on the bed with even breathing.
"Xiao Lan was attacked from behind by Granburch and she hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said she was just asleep and nothing serious happened, but uncle was worried, and I also had some injuries from the members of that organization, so we stayed together."
"What happened? Why are you injured and Xiaolan unconscious? Can you tell me in detail?" Chu Ming leaned back on the sofa, his tone full of anxiety.
Conan told Chu Ming about what happened tonight in detail, and then threw the doubts he had sorted out to Chu Ming: "Brother Chu Ming, do you think they will report my news to their boss when they go back? And that Granburch, why did he help me?"
Chu Ming put his legs on the coffee table, his posture lazy, and casually fooled Conan: "That love - cough cough cough, didn't that member of the organization say it? Maybe it's because Granburr wants to kill you all the time to cover up Gin's mistakes; but at the same time, because Vermouth is always protecting you, he will let you go."
Chu Ming raised his body slightly and almost blurted out Ireland's code name, forgetting that Conan didn't know Ireland's code name at all because he had cut off all his intelligence sources and he had also stopped Vermouth from releasing the water at that time.
Conan was preoccupied at the moment and did not notice Chu Ming's slip of the tongue. He reached out and gently touched the gauze wrapped around his neck. This injury was not hidden when he was applying medicine in the hospital, but Mouri Kogoro and the others thought that this was the same injury as his, and was just suffered.
But in fact-
Conan frowned and leaned against the wall. That was the closest he had ever been to death. If Vermouth hadn't saved him, he would have been strangled to death by Granburrch in the parking lot.
It was strange that he did not feel Granburch's murderous intent, but his actions did indeed lead to his death. Conan had only one explanation for this.
That is, this man code-named Granburch had no problem with killing. In his eyes, killing was as easy as crushing an ant.
How could a person be upset because of stepping on an ant?
Seeing that Conan remained silent, Chu Ming took the initiative to ask him: "What did you say when Officer Megure and the others asked you?"
Conan thought he knew what Chu Ming was worried about. There was some confusion in his eyes. He leaned against the wall and said in a low voice: "I know that the organization might have undercover agents in the Metropolitan Police Department. If I tell the truth, it might bring danger to my uncle and Xiaolan. I understand it all. So when Officer Megure asked me, I just told him that the gangster I saw had the face of Inspector Matsumoto..."
Chu Ming put his cell phone aside and perfunctorily comforted Conan's rare confused mood. At the same time, he did two things at once. He logged into the intranet with his computer and sent a message to Bourbon, informing him to meet at the newly opened coffee shop in Mihua tomorrow morning.
Bourbon is a night owl. It's so late, but I received a reply right after I sent the message. There was a sense of rejection between the lines, but he couldn't say it directly. He could only say in a roundabout way that he is still busy recently.
Of course, if Granburch was really in an emergency, he could recommend Kiel, who had no tasks to do, or go to Rum to ask for a new person. By the way, he also revealed to Chu Ming that Rum had recently discovered a new person among the peripheral members, and had not given him a code name yet. It was said that he was a civilian staff member in the computer department like Chu Ming, and his skills were also pretty good. If Chu Ming was interested, he could ask Rum to borrow him.
Of course, he was happy to transfer his precious status as a team member to the newcomer.
Chu Ming instantly became interested. There's a new person? Rum actually hid it from him?
However, Chu Ming was not led astray by Bourbon. It was obvious that he was not very good at leading a newcomer in this scene, and Bourbon was more to his liking.
He ignored the rejection implicit in Bourbon's words and made the final decision by directly sending a time, saying that he hoped to see Bourbon in the cafe at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
No matter how angry Bourbon would be when he saw the news, Chu Ming closed the computer and turned his attention to Conan again.
At this time, Conan was talking to him about his confusion. He found that the more he investigated, the more he discovered how huge the organization was, and he found that he had no way to hunt down the organization by his own strength.
As for Judy, the FBI agent who had served as their foreign teacher before, she had not been seen since that time at the dock. She must have returned to the United States.
I thought that as Uncle Maori became more famous, he would be able to know more about the organization, but unfortunately, the more he knew, the more restricted he became. Even though he knew some intelligence about the organization, he could neither report it to the police officers he was familiar with nor leak it out, otherwise everyone around him would be implicated.
Unless we can receive evidence that can kill the organization in one blow.
But looking at the organization's style of operation, this method is almost impossible.
The more he knew, the more powerless he felt.
So he felt like he was trapped in a swamp. The more he moved, the faster he sank.
Chu Ming is not very good at comforting people, so he can only find some chicken soup on the Internet and feed it to him. Although the effect doesn't seem to be very good, Conan still looks a little depressed when he hangs up the phone.
but--
It's ok!
What should the little detective do when he feels depressed?
Give him some powerful mental stimulation produced by Granburch, and he will recover soon~
[Hehe, I went to see Kurotetsu's Fish Shadow in the afternoon. Overall it was pretty good. The new member can be considered a cross-dresser, right? And the moment when Gin appeared in the helicopter was really handsome. It was also very cute to protect his hat when getting off the helicopter. Hehe, I recommend everyone to go and see it~]
[I found two pictures. This shouldn't be considered a spoiler, right? ]
The big brother with his chin propped up in the sunset appeared with great momentum
The big brother who always cares about his image is also very cute hhh
Chapter 635: Is your clock broken?
Bourbon has been feeling a bit retrograde lately, as if everything is going wrong.
After finally gaining the boss's trust and getting rid of the endless tasks from Granburch;
But then he heard the news that Shuichi Akai was missing or alive. He searched for more than half a month based on the landing point calculated by Granburch, and almost dug the entire mountain three feet deep, but still found nothing.
Now, after finally relaxing a bit, Granburch is targeting us again!
He sat in the cafe full of resentment, ordered a latte, and stared at the door dimly.
Time passed minute by minute. He had already refilled his coffee four times. When he saw that others were almost ready to order lunch, he finally saw Granburch's late figure.
Bourbon put on a fake smile and asked him sarcastically, "Granburch, is your clock broken? Do you need me to fix it for you?"
