"Of course!" Ayumi jumped up excitedly, and squeezed with Mitsuhiko and the others to make room for Kidd. "Come and sit down. The doctor made a lot of curry rice. We can't finish it."
Conan was a little confused. After Kidd sat down, he asked him quietly, "Why did you come back again?"
"It's the same question I asked you before. Do you remember having any contact with any strangers in recent times? The kind that you sat with for at least an hour or two." Kidd scratched his head, dealt with the few kids chattering around him, turned around and asked Conan in a low voice.
Although he didn't know what Kid wanted to ask, Conan thought about it carefully and shook his head: "No, I haven't been out much these days. Even if I went out, I didn't spend a long time with strangers. What happened? Tell me, maybe I can help you."
Conan moved closer curiously, maybe this incident could help him expose Kid's true identity?
Chapter 605 Mr. Aoi is so powerful
The truth must not be told. Even if it was told, Kid felt that Conan would not believe it. He glanced at the other people around the campfire, and quietly came to the woods with Conan. He organized his words and told the story in a roundabout way.
"Do you still remember the baby-faced puppet Mr. Kekui that I brought with me to the Fantasy Park before?" Kidd almost let it slip.
Of course Conan remembered. He still remembered the hoarse sound of Mr. Aoi's speech, like the rubbing of stone against sandpaper. He also remembered that when he was stared at by him, it felt like he was being stared at by some inorganic machine.
"Are you looking for him?"
Kidd rubbed his hands and began to make up a story: "Actually, Mr. Aoi is not my friend. He just owed me a favor, so I could ask him to come. Now I have some trouble recently and need to find him, but he has no fixed place to stay and no contact information. But Mr. Aoi has a kind of fragrance on him, and only I can smell it. I smelled it on you. Mr. Aoi's disguise skills are also good, so you must have come into contact with him unconsciously at some point-"
Conan shook his head firmly: "Impossible, don't I know if there are strangers around me?"
"Maybe he has disguised himself as someone you know? You may not be able to tell." Kidd scratched his head and revealed the secret.
Conan's eyes also widened suddenly. He thought of Yuga Kyosuke who was killed by the medicine of the organization.
Even according to Kidd, he could change his appearance, and the way he looked at people at that time was like looking at an inanimate object -
It is very likely that Mr. Aoi is also a member of the organization, and this Mr. Aoi might be the member of the organization who was in the Shitara old house at that time!
If he thought in this way, many things that he couldn't figure out could be connected.
That Mr. Aoi could disguise himself, maybe he was Vermouth’s subordinate, and he didn’t attack him because of Vermouth’s order. And it was because Mr. Aoi disguised himself as someone he was familiar with that he didn’t discover him—
That's not right. The people who went to Shitara's house with him were Uncle Mori, Xiaolan and Brother Chu Ming. He didn't feel anything was wrong with any of these three people at that time.
Kidd had already taken out a pen and paper, and began to write and draw on the paper in the light of the fire not far away: "Come on, let's sort it out first?"
Conan nodded, and the two of them sat down cross-legged. Fortunately, Conan had a good memory, and he told Kidd his itinerary during that period bit by bit. Kidd scribbled on the paper and put it in the middle after a while.
"Your scent can only be picked up by sitting together for more than an hour. I removed all the fragmented time you spent with other people. During this period, I circled all the people who came into contact with you and sat together for more than an hour. They were all people around you.
Those kids, Detective Maori, Xiaolan, Mr. Chu Ming. Although those kids and Mr. Maori spent more than an hour together, they never sat together, so they couldn't pass the smell on to you..."
Kidd circled Xiaolan and Chu Ming's names: "These are the only two left."
He paused, as if remembering something, and added: "Mr. Chu Ming also has this smell, but it is very, very faint. Maybe he was only in contact with him for a short while."
Conan stared at the name on the paper, unable to speak for a long time. Kidd's addition showed that he was already suspicious of the person: "Do you think that the person who accompanied me to Shitara's house that day was not the real Chu Ming brother, but the Mr. Aoi you mentioned?"
"Yes, the very faint smell on his body might have been picked up when he was knocked unconscious by Mr. Aoi." Kidd said with certainty, because he would do the same before changing his appearance.
"Impossible..." Conan refused to believe it. "How is it possible? Chu Ming never mentioned it to me. Could it be that Mr. Aoi was able to knock him out without alerting him? You don't know how good Chu Ming is."
Kidd thought of the devil's omnipotent spell, and remembered that the devil said that he gave the puppet too much power. He couldn't help but sighed softly: "Why not? You don't understand. Mr. Aoi is so powerful."
Conan was speechless as he watched Kid chattering like a fan leader, explaining to him how powerful the so-called Mr. Aoi was.
"Hey, after all, won't we know if we just ask? It's also possible that Mr. Aoi disguised himself when he was not at home? Maybe your brother Chu Ming thought this matter was too embarrassing and didn't tell you? Or maybe he didn't realize that he was knocked unconscious, but there may be some clues left at home?" Kid glanced at Conan and motioned him to go and ask.
That made some sense, so Conan and Kidd poked their heads out of the woods and waved at Chu Ming: "Brother Chu Ming, Brother Chu Ming, come here~"
In the middle of the night, two heads, one old and one young, suddenly popped out from the dark woods. Under the dim light of the campfire, it was really scary!
Chu Ming twitched his lips. He had just secretly leaned over to listen, and he understood what Kidd was talking about all day.
It has been a while since his devil vest went to play with Kidd. After finishing his work with the FBI, he will go to Kidd for a good chat.
What kind of dog nose tracking is this? He didn't find any smell on his puppet at all. Logically, since his body has absorbed a lot of magnetic fields, his sense of smell should be several times better than others, right? But he didn't smell anything at all——
It was getting late, and although the children were very curious about what Kid and Conan were talking about, they were all in the Junior Detective League, so how could Conan be the only one chatting with Kid? However, because Chu Ming was still there, and Huiyuan Ai also said that they would ask Conan together tomorrow, they could only be driven back to the tent by Professor Agasa to sleep.
Chu Ming didn't go over, but waved at them: "Come over here and talk, they all went to sleep."
Conan ran over and got straight to the point: "Brother Chu Ming, were you the one who accompanied me to Shitara's house last time?"
Chu Ming looked confused: "Ah? Didn't we go there together? Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Conan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kidd: "Look, I told you--"
Kidd was not convinced. He came forward and asked for details: "Did you feel anything wrong during the whole process? Physically, mentally or anything else..."
Looking at Kidd's eyes full of hope, Chu Ming pondered for a moment, a little hesitant: "It can't be said that there is something wrong, I just felt a little dizzy on the way back, so I didn't say much. Logically speaking, after something like that happened, I should have reviewed the clues with Conan..."
"Yes, yes, this must be Mr. Aoi—" Kidd finally found the clue and looked surprised.
Kidd's imagination was full of ideas. Maybe it was Mr. Aoi who knocked Chu Ming unconscious at this time, and then turned into his appearance and went back with Conan, and finally used magic to transfer the memory back to Chu Ming's brain...
After all, this is a demon's puppet, so it's normal for it to be so powerful—
Chapter 606 Smell
"What?" Conan was speechless. "Brother Chu Ming feels dizzy. Maybe he's carsick because he didn't eat dinner? It's not like he was knocked unconscious. Why are you so excited..."
Kidd danced with joy, acting like an old woman, his face wrinkled with anxiety: "No, can you understand? That Mr. Aoi is so powerful - yes, he can hypnotize, you know, the hypnosis you imagine, so Mr. Chu Ming actually didn't have this memory. If you think about it carefully, do you think this memory is unreal?"
Kidd looked at Chu Ming with anticipation.
Chu Ming nodded hesitantly under his expectant gaze: "It seems - right?"
"Brother Chu Ming, don't let him lead you astray!" Conan jumped up and pushed Kid back, "Don't mislead Brother Chu Ming, your words are too suggestive!"
Kidd saw the truth of the matter as if it was right in front of him, but there was always a layer of hazy fog between them. He sat by the campfire and pulled the firewood in annoyance. Suddenly, he raised his head sharply: "That car! Where is the car you were in at that time? I just want to see if there is any smell in it-"
Conan poured cold water on him: "It's no use. That car was rented by my uncle. It's probably been cleaned when I sent it back."
Kidd didn't give up, and turned to look at Chu Ming: "Then - Mr. Chu Ming, although it is presumptuous to say this, but can I go to your house to take a look? Maybe there are some clues?"
Chu Ming did not refuse: "Okay, let's go back to Mihua tomorrow morning, and let the doctor take care of the kids to play here for a few more days."
The main purpose is to keep Haibara Ai here. When he goes back, he will have to organize and deal with FBI matters. It is a good opportunity to isolate Conan's two assistants, Haibara Ai and Dr. Agasa, to prevent this guy from running out and doing bad things again.
The next day, before the children got up, Chu Ming said goodbye to Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai, and went back with Conan and Kid. Fortunately, he drove when he came, otherwise he would have to walk to the nearby town to take the bus.
He had given some instructions to Huibara Ai before leaving, and also told her that the organization's investigation would probably take a long time, so for safety reasons, she should take advantage of the holiday to play here with the children for a few more days, and by the way, if she found anything unusual here, she should call him.
After all, Shuichi Akai's body might still be nearby.
*
Chu Ming drove the car all the way into his own yard. He was still driving the Porsche that was full of FBI eavesdropping devices, but he had removed all the eavesdropping devices.
After all, it was originally used to lure Akai Shuichi out, and now its value has been exhausted.
As soon as the car stopped, Kidd couldn't wait to get out, stood in the yard and took a deep breath. With his old lady look, he looked like an old monster: "That's the smell, I smell it, it's real!"
He stuck close to the wall, sniffing carefully, then his eyes lit up, as if he smelled something, and followed the smell all the way to his bedroom like a puppy.
When Chu Ming and Conan reached the second floor, they found Kidd standing beside his bed, his face full of excitement: "Really, really, on this bed, he must have been here!"
bed...
Chu Ming remembered that when he came back to recycle the robot that day, he did take it back from the bed...
But apart from the fact that the smell in this room was the strongest, Kidd didn't find any clues. The smell seemed to stop here. Maybe the puppet was suddenly summoned back by the devil, and this clue was almost broken.
But why does the puppet lurk around Conan?
Kid chose to throw the question to Conan: "Why do you think Mr. Aoi disguised himself as Mr. Chu Ming and stayed by your side? Is there something about you that he needs? You suddenly-"
Kidd didn't know whether Chu Ming had discovered Conan's identity, so he tried to help Conan maintain his vest, making a gesture with his hands that was sometimes larger and sometimes smaller: "-Is it because of this of yours?"
Conan had a serious expression. Because Kid acted so confident, he didn't think too much about the suspicion. Instead, he put himself in Kid's shoes and guessed, "It's very likely. And I think your Mr. Aoi might also be a member of that organization, so he's lurking around me."
"Impossible..." Kidd didn't quite believe it. After all, this was a puppet of the devil. Why would it join an organization for no reason? From the fact that the puppet knew clearly that the bomb in their bracelets was fake but kept it to itself because it thought the matter was interesting, it seemed that the puppet had a very evil personality. Maybe it was simply because it felt strange when it saw Conan's soul last time, so it came to observe Conan, as if it had seen something interesting.
However, Kidd didn't tell Conan about this guess. After all, he wouldn't believe it even if he told him...
Seeing that he couldn't find any more clues, Kid had no choice but to say goodbye. Conan didn't stay long either. Since he had already returned to Beika, he simply went straight back to the office to see if there were any new commissions from Kogoro Mouri. Maybe there would be clues about that organization.
After Chu Ming and the other two left, he did not stay at home for long, but went straight to the organization's base.
Even if he didn't come back with Conan and Kidd, Chu Ming would find an excuse to sneak back to Tokyo, because Gin sent him an email asking him to go back to the base directly, saying that the organization had a mission and he could also eliminate the remaining FBI forces in Japan.
As soon as he drove the car to the base parking lot, an identical car came from behind. Chu Ming leaned out of the window of the Porsche, looked at Gin and Vodka getting out of the car, and greeted them leisurely.
Vodka patted Chu Ming's car and was a little surprised: "It's exactly the same as Big Brother's car. I don't know where those FBI got it from."
Although Gin didn't say anything, there was a rare light in his eyes. He stared at the car, not even glancing at Chu Ming and Vodka.
"Brother, my car is nice, right?" Chu Ming leaned against the car proudly, emphasizing the pronunciation of 'I' deliberately.
Gin glanced at Chu Ming, hummed lightly, and looked away: "Let's go, Chianti and Cohen are in the holographic sniper training ground."
Chu Ming followed Gin and walked slowly: "Didn't they say that Kiel would also come for this operation? Where is he?"
"No need to call her today. Just notify her when we need to take action." Gin said coldly, walking forward at a leisurely pace. "Bourbon is focused on finding Akai Shuichi's body. He will not participate in this operation."
Bourbon has become much more independent since being brainwashed, and he can even shirk Gin's tasks. However, the reason why Gin let him go this time was ultimately because Gin could not feel at ease because he could not see Shuichi Akai's body.
Even Chu Ming was a little worried. This time he brought the Young Detective Team with him, thinking that they would be able to see the body with their role as the protagonist, but they found nothing.
There's no way he could escape at this height, right?
Is it true that Shuichi Akai didn’t cheat?
[I have some things going on recently, so I guess I have to take a break for a few days QAQ I will try to find time to update a little bit during this period. I've been really busy lately. It's not that I don't want to update, but I really can't squeeze out a little bit of time. This chapter is the one I squeezed out during this period to type a few words on my phone when I have nothing to do QAQ
During this period, I will try to finish one chapter every few days_(:з」∠)_I will make up for it after I am done with my work, ZUNDU! 】
Chapter 607: Is it because of his square face?
When they arrived at the training ground, they saw Chianti and Cohen standing on a high platform and aiming with snipes. Chu Ming and Gin did not disturb them, but stood on the fence on the second floor and watched.
The organization's training ground has been updated again. Chu Ming hasn't been to the sniper training ground for some time. The organization's previous training used realistic dolls, some light and shadows, obstacles, and wind blowing from all directions.
But looking at the training grounds currently used by Chianti and Cohen, it is simply an immersive holographic simulation. Whether it is the surrounding scenery or the subtle wind direction, sunlight, etc., they are almost identical to reality.
Chu Ming thought of the game "Cocoon" he played before, and his eyes moved slightly. This should be the deal reached between Hongshu and the BOSS?
