After taking the photos, Okiya Subaru held his phone, squinted his eyes and said gently: "Mr. Chu Ming, how about you give me an email address and I will send the photos to you."

"Let's add SIDE. This is a software developed by our company. I strongly recommend you to use it. It's very convenient. Anyone who uses it will know." Chu Ming took out his mobile phone and showed the software to Okiya Subaru. "This is very popular among young people."

Subaru Okiya has been busy since he came to Japan, and he had to spend a long time recovering from his injuries after falling from a helicopter, so he really didn't pay attention to this popular software. When Chu Ming said this, he quickly excused himself: "I was doing closed experiments with my mentor before, so I was too busy, so I didn't pay much attention to these. I'll go download one now."

"Thanks for your support~" Chu Ming waved his phone and suggested, "How about you take a photo with the kids? Since you are here now."

Okiya Subaru was actually a little moved. He glanced at Haibara Ai who was following Conan, hesitated for a moment, and then readily agreed, pretending to be hesitant: "Is this appropriate? I have no problem with it, but I don't know about those children..."

"The other kids will definitely be willing. Ai is a little shy, but it's okay—" Chu Ming looked sympathetic, and said to Subaru Okiya, who had a look of expectation in his eyes, "If Ai doesn't want to, I'll take her place and take the photo with you."

"...Haha, Mr. Chu Ming is really humorous, haha..."

Chu Ming's sudden words almost made Okiya Subaru unable to maintain his squinty-eyed mask.

Who wants to take a photo with you?

Chapter 671 How Can She Back Off?

However, what made Shuichi Akai happy was that Haibara Ai did not refuse to take a photo with him.

Because Haibara Ai was still thinking about the plan that Chu Ming and Conan had discussed to take secret photos at Subaru Okiya's house. Since they could take the photos openly this time, why should she let Chu Ming take the risk?

Brother Chu Ming risked his life to lurk in the organization for her, and now he is just taking a photo next to Okiya Subaru. How can she back down?

Standing in the C position where Chu Ming had just stood, Subaru Okiya restrained his aura, made the same gestures as the children, and secretly glanced at Haibara Ai beside him with the corner of his eye, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even gentler.

After Chu Ming took the photo, he exchanged numbers with Okiya Subaru, who had just applied for a SIDE number, added him as a friend, and sent each other a copy of the photo.

Chu Ming put away the photos, and while Okiya Subaru wasn't paying attention, he waved his phone at Conan with a smug look on his face.

Okiya Subaru, who was standing by, suddenly exclaimed in surprise and pointed to the rock behind him: "There seems to be words on this rock."

Chu Ming was cropping out Okiya Subaru's head from the photo on his phone. When he heard his words, he subconsciously said, "Om Mani Padme Hum?"

"No, it's mackerel, carp, sea bream, flounder..." Conan stared at the words on the stone, and after a moment he looked at Chu Ming, "Ah, Chu Ming brother, what did you just say?"

"No, no, it's a plot from a book I read before." Chu Ming had no intention of explaining it to him, so he changed the subject and asked, "Is this all there is on the stone?"

Ayumi also squeezed over and looked carefully: "There are only these few words. Could it be that someone carved his catch on the stone while fishing here? That's too much."

Yuan Tai pointed to a pink fin stuck in a crack in the rock and said, "These people don't care about the environment at all. They even stuffed their fins in here."

Conan frowned. This pair of fins was new. Would someone really go to such a deserted place and stuff one of his shoes into it just for a prank?

A corner of the rock that few people have ever visited, stuffed with flippers, engraved with words, all these signs, could it be...

Conan seemed to suddenly remember something and ran back. Sure enough, after going around a rock wall, a woman leaning against the rock wall with her eyes closed and a deathly expression on her face suddenly appeared in front of him.

When the children saw Conan suddenly running, they followed him in confusion. When they saw the female corpse, they couldn't help but screamed, "What happened to this big sister? Is she asleep?"

Conan stepped forward and placed his fingers on her neck, shaking his head: "No, she's dead."

Chu Ming also came forward and carefully observed the condition of the female corpse: "Indeed, she has been dead for several hours."

"Well, the mouth is dry and the skin is loose. He should have died of dehydration." Seeing Chu Ming and Conan gathered together, Subaru Okiya also moved forward and participated in their analysis.

Looking at the diving equipment next to the girl, Huihara Ai, standing behind Conan, guessed: "Could it be that there was something wrong with the diving equipment, and then she swam here with great difficulty, but no boat passed by, and she..."

"Maybe this isn't just an ordinary accident, but a murder. Someone must have left her here on purpose." Chu Ming rummaged around Conan, pulled out a handkerchief, and then picked up the oxygen bottle mouthpiece regulator that had fallen on the ground and showed it to everyone, "There's no lipstick on it."

After wrapping the things and handing them to Conan, Chu Ming stood up and asked the captain: "Have you finished reporting the alarm?"

The captain nodded and returned the phone to Chu Ming: "Your cell phone signal is still good. It's still full at sea."

Chu Ming smiled and said nothing. Of course that’s good. The organization’s signal towers are everywhere, and I don’t know how they set them up in the first place.

It is no exaggeration to say that you can make a phone call anywhere, whether in the deep mountains and forests or in the wilderness.

It didn't take long before the Metropolitan Police Department's boat stopped next to the rock wall.

The leading policeman was also an acquaintance, he was Officer Coralhead's younger brother, Shigeo Yokomizo.

He walked hurriedly and did not notice the acquaintance. Instead, he walked to the body first, carefully examined the condition of the body, and then made the same inference as Chu Ming and others.

When he turned around and prepared to talk to a few witnesses separately, he happened to see Conan beside his legs. The corners of his mouth twitched and he blurted out: "Why is it you again? Are you often involved in cases? Where is your uncle who likes to sleep?"

Conan was about to talk about the clues he had found, but was choked by Yokomizo Shigego's words: "I don't encounter them very often... Uncle is not here, but Chu Ming brother is here."

Conan still remembered that Officer Yokomizo had been quite respectful of Chu Ming last time, so he quickly pulled Chu Ming out.

"It's Mr. Chu Ming!" Yokomizo Shigego was obviously much more enthusiastic. He stepped forward and shook Chu Ming's hand. "I didn't expect you to be here too. Do you have any advice on this case?"

"It's not a brilliant idea, but there is a clue." Chu Ming pointed to the rock wall behind him, "Someone carved words on it, namely mackerel, carp, sea bream, and flounder."

"There is also a pair of fins, one stuck into the rock wall on both sides." Okiya Subaru added, "We pulled them out and looked at them, but there was no message on them."

"Could it be that these words were carved here by someone else? They are not necessarily the death information of the deceased." Yokomizo Shigeo studied the words on the rock wall and did not find any clues.

"Impossible, Yokogo. This is the ocean, you can't catch carp." The captain came over and patted Officer Yokogo on the shoulder.

"Ida?" Yokomizo Shigego turned his head and glanced at the captain. "You brought them here?"

"Yes, they are just as interested in the blessing of the sea god as you were when you were a child." Captain Iida couldn't help laughing when he recalled how Yokomizo Shigego had always shrank behind him because he was afraid of water.

"Ahem, the focus now is on this case." Yokomizo Shigego quickly changed the subject, not wanting Ida to reveal his dark history in front of the kids. "How do you know that this word was carved by the deceased?"

Conan handed over another worn watch. "It's this watch. There's a white mark on the victim's wrist, which is obviously left by wearing a watch for a long time. It just happens to match this watch. There are some wear and tear on the watch, and there are some stone chips on it."

Yokomizo Shigego took the evidence bag, put the watch in it, and then said, "Okay, kid, get out of here. It's our job as police officers. We need to investigate the identity of the deceased, and this is not something a kid like you can get involved in."

"I know." Just as Yokomizo Shigego turned around, Conan's sweet voice sounded from behind him, "This should be the president's daughter that the captain uncle mentioned before, who has been diving here recently. And just now it seemed that three uncles were driving a boat around here looking for something. Maybe they were looking for this sister."

After being shown off by Conan, Yokomizo Shigego paused and remained silent.

Why does this kid always manage to interrupt him?

Chapter 672 You talk too much

"Miss Guangli!" A hurried shout came from not far away. Several people looked in the direction of the sound and saw several people driving a small boat speeding towards them from a distance.

"Yes, yes, yes, these are the guys who have been hanging around the president's daughter during this period." Captain Iida clenched his right fist and knocked it on the palm of his left hand, with a look of sudden realization on his face.

Chu Ming leaned against the rock wall and raised his eyebrows lazily at Conan: "Look, the suspect team is here, the familiar three-choice one."

Conan had long been accustomed to Chu Ming's rhetoric. After all, he had been right too many times. He turned to Officer Yokomizo and said sweetly, "Mr. Officer, those are the three uncles I was talking about just now."

Officer Yokomizo squinted his eyes, glanced at the three people on the boat, and waved to them to come to shore.

After everyone got off the boat, Officer Yokomizo looked them up and down and asked, "Who are you and what is your relationship with the deceased?"

"What, Miss Mitsuri is dead?" Oto Rokusuke exclaimed, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the corpse in a pink diving suit behind Officer Yokomizo, and his face suddenly changed.

"Yes, and you three who have the most contact with her are the most suspicious." Before they could speak, Officer Yokomizo raised his hand to stop them, "No matter what, please tell us why you are here first."

"We are looking for the eldest lady. Three days ago at noon, four of us came here to dive. After a long time, we didn't see her, so we went back."

Chu Ming was puzzled: "You went out diving together, but you didn't see her for a long time. You didn't look for her or call the police. So you just went back like that?"

The wealthy Liu Fu explained: "We wanted to go down to look for her, but I received a message from the eldest lady on my phone saying that she had gone back first and asked me to take care of the rest, so we left."

"Why didn't you confirm whether it was sent by the person himself? And you didn't call the police after not seeing him for such a long time?" Officer Yokomizo's face turned black. "If you had called the police, the victim wouldn't have died of dehydration here!!"

"We can't do anything. It's not like we haven't had similar situations before." Qing Li Zhou Ping said indignantly, "When we first started diving this summer, there was also a situation where the eldest lady was the only one who didn't come up. We were anxious to look for her everywhere, and even wanted to call the police for help. What happened?"

Kaida Koji added: "The eldest lady suddenly came back. When we asked her why, she said she ran into a passing yacht and was picked up by a handsome guy on it. She drank and chatted at the handsome guy's house until dawn. She also scolded us for wanting to call the police, saying that she had clearly sent the email, so why did we mobilize so many people?"

"So we didn't do anything this time. We just waited for two or three days without any news, so we drove the boat around to look for her. We also asked the yachts passing by. But we didn't expect that she would be here in this corner of the rock where no one passes by. Really, she can't swim but she is so reckless..."

"This elder sister can't swim?" Conan pretended to be innocent, "Why can she dive even though she can't swim? Do you elder brothers know that this elder sister can't swim?"

Oto Rokusuke coughed a few times, bent down and explained to Conan: "You don't need to know how to swim to dive. After all, you have fins and an oxygen tank. As for the fact that Guangli can't swim, we all know it."

"Oh? You all know that she can't swim?" Officer Yokomizo was very smart. Upon hearing this, he immediately called two police officers over and said, "You should make a simple record first. After all, if you all know that she can't swim, then this young lady is likely abandoned here by one of you."

The few people had no choice but to follow the police officers to register their basic information.

Chu Ming, who had been listening from behind, suddenly stood up straight and looked at Qingli Zhouping with a sharp look in his eyes. He said straight to the point, "You are the murderer, right?"

Yokomizo Shigego's eyes lit up. The last time he met Chu Ming, he also saw him point out the murderer with such a firm tone and casually threw out evidence to silence the murderer. Seeing Chu Ming pointing out the murderer directly again, he immediately perked up: "Why is it him?"

Chu Ming pointed to the words carved on the cliff: "The evidence is in these words. We have just confirmed that these words were indeed written by the victim himself, so this is the death message left by the victim before his death."

Henggou Shigeo turned his eyes to the cliff and read the words carefully again. He didn't find any clues and looked at Chu Ming with some confusion.

Chu Ming squatted down and wrote these Japanese words into Chinese characters on the beach with his fingers: "Look, 'サバ' written as Chinese characters means mackerel; 'コイ' written as Chinese characters means carp; 'タイ' is sea bream, and 'ヒラメ' is flounder, also known as flatfish."

"Put these words together: mackerel, carp, porgy, and flounder." Chu Ming turned over the watch that Yokomizo Shigeo had placed in the evidence bag and showed it to everyone. "On the victim's watch, besides the scratch marks used for engraving, there is also an English word fish that has been deliberately crossed out, meaning to remove the fish. Without the fish, what do these words become?"

Okiya Subaru read out loud word by word: "Ao, Sato, Zhou, Ping."

Wow, he’s worthy of being Shuichi Akai, he even learned Chinese well.

Qingli Zhouping took two steps back. Seeing everyone's eyes cast on him with sudden enlightenment, he panicked: "Your reasoning is too far-fetched! What Chinese characters are not Chinese characters? According to this, I just made up a German or English name and made up a random person's name. Then he is also the murderer? Just based on these few words, she said I am the murderer? Why didn't she just write that I am the murderer?"

Chu Ming glanced at him lightly, calm and composed: "You know, I have met many murderers, they are all like you, once they get nervous they start talking a lot, is your heart beating fast now?"

Qingli Zhouping was so angry that his face turned red: "You are being wronged, so why don't you say anything? Am I going to let you slander me? You say I am the murderer, please show me the evidence!"

Chu Ming pointed to the corner of his mouth with his hand: "When you lowered your head just now, I saw the lipstick on the corner of your mouth."

Before anyone could react to what he meant, Chu Ming moved as fast as lightning and quickly stepped forward to tear off the Band-Aid on Qingli Zhou Ping's mouth. Under the Band-Aid, there was a little trace of red lipstick.

"Although I don't know how you got it on, let me remind you that this color is the same as the one on the victim's lips." Chu Ming yawned, "According to what you said, the young lady disappeared three days ago. So, how did you get the lipstick from someone who disappeared three days ago?"

Conan easily picked up the oxygen cylinder respirator on the ground with a handkerchief wrapped around it, and smiled sweetly: "You got it when you came to change this, right?"

Qing Li Shuhei looked at the boy with a cute smile in front of him, a trace of cruelty flashed across his face, he raised his hand and slapped the respirator in Conan's hand, picked him up and took out a knife from his pocket and put it on Conan's neck: "You talk too much nonsense! You all step back, step back! Otherwise I will kill him!"

Chu Ming was awakened from his sleep. Who gave the criminal the courage to kidnap in front of him and Akai Shuichi?

Chapter 673 He May Have Disguised His Appearance

Chu Ming watched Conan lift his feet with difficulty and found that he was wearing a pair of rain boots. His eyes turned dark and he wanted to laugh.

Usually, he uses either anesthetic needles or magnetic shoes, which makes Conan a little overconfident about his own fighting ability. Now, he was caught by the criminal because he was too arrogant at the crime scene.

At this time, Qing Li Shuping was holding a knife against Conan's neck, his expression was excited: "Get out of my way, what do you know, that woman deserves to die! If it weren't for her, Yilang would never have been in trouble!"

Suddenly, another person was dragged out. Everyone present was a little confused. Da Hu Liu Fu frowned and said, "What does this have to do with Yilang? Don't do stupid things again!"

"How can there be no connection? When she was washed away by the tide, Yoshiro clearly went to save her. But after this woman was rescued, she didn't even mention Yoshiro who saved her. She said she didn't meet anyone at all and just wanted to go back quickly. But if she didn't meet Yoshiro, then why was there her lipstick on the oxygen cylinder and respirator on Yoshiro's body?!" Qingli Shuhei's eyes were red, and he waved the blade in his hand, almost hurting Conan in his hand.
