"Who told you that cleaning up the scene means just wiping the blood with a rag?" Chu Ming was very disappointed. "I told you to clean up the scene, but I didn't tell you to help people clean up the house so diligently! Are you planning to turn yourself in by leaving those fingerprints and shoe prints when you came in just now?!"
Chu Ming sighed, "You pushed the door open without gloves, leaving fingerprints on the door. After killing him, you stepped on the blood that had not dried yet on the edge of the table with your right foot, leaving a little shoe print. You even shot him in the chest and killed him. Now you are going to wipe off the blood and fake it as suicide? What were you thinking? Huh?"
Vodka stood in the middle, trying to think: "Then should I pretend to be a robber and kill people?"
"How to disguise?"
Vodka said with a bitter face: "You turned his house upside down and took away some valuables?"
Chu Ming sneered and mocked mercilessly: "Then leave more traces and wait to be taken away by the police?"
Vodka scratched his head and said, "Then...I'll take the body away?"
"..."
Chu Ming's silence said it all, and Vodka lowered his head silently.
"You've been following Gin for so long, haven't you learned the essence of Gin?" Facing Vodka's blank eyes, Chu Ming suddenly felt that raising a child was indeed a hard job, so it would be better to let him do it himself. "For you, if there are too many clues left behind and it's difficult to clean them up, it's better to start a fire or a bomb directly instead of cleaning them up slowly."
"As for those places where it's not easy to place bombs..."
Chu Ming took great pains to teach Vodka in the current environment. He talked until his mouth was dry and he wanted to ask Vodka how much he had understood, but when he met his eyes, Chu Ming silently held back his words.
Forget it, don’t ask anymore. If you ask too much, he will be the one who feels uncomfortable.
He just reminded her again and again: "Next time, after completing the task, don't worry about anything else, just blow up the scene immediately!"
After finishing today's tasks and returning to Mihua in the afternoon, Chu Ming sent Vodka away and quickly called Gin.
It was rare that Gin didn't answer the phone immediately, but waited for a long time before answering it.
Before Chu Ming could say anything, Gin's angry voice came from the receiver: "You'd better have something important to say."
Chu Ming was rebellious and wanted to complain, but after hearing what Gin said, he was no longer anxious: "Oh, what? Can't you call and chat with your brother if you have nothing to do?"
Gin silently suppressed his rising anger and gritted his teeth: "You chat."
Chu Ming lay on the sofa and began to list all the stupid mistakes that Vodka had made today. He asked Gin a soul-searching question: "Vodka has been following you for so long, how could you bear not to replace him, but to keep cleaning up his mess?"
Although Chu Ming's description was indeed a bit disgusting, it was rare to hear Chu Ming speak in such a collapsed tone. Gin's anger at being woken up in the middle of the night was much relieved. It turned out that it takes a fool to deal with a bad guy.
But he couldn't let Granburch know what he was thinking, otherwise he would probably quit, so Gin didn't answer, but just changed the subject: "I will be back in half a month, and the information during this period will be sent to your email."
Chu Ming never expected that a complaint phone call from him would lead to a task. He couldn't help but want to fly to the United States to beat up Gin: "Why did you send it to my email? I won't do it. Give it to Vermouth, or Lafitte, or Bourbon if that doesn't work. Don't give it to me anyway!"
"This is the information for my mission, not for you to do. The boss has said that since you have shown your willingness to take over the organization, you should not stay out of everything."
Gin put his hand on his forehead and drank a glass of cold water while standing in front of the table. He had been up for several days and finally fell asleep when he was woken up by a phone call from Granburch. After drinking the cold water, he continued, "I came to the United States this time to find a few more snipers for the organization."
"The US Navy SEALs have a sniper with outstanding military exploits, but he has lost contact since retiring a few years ago. It is rumored that his sniping skills are second only to Akai Shuichi in the United States. This time someone has discovered his whereabouts, and I came here in person to see if I can win him over to the organization. In addition, I have also contacted a few mercenaries, and Ireland will be responsible for the arrangements. Japan is also short of people, and I estimate that a few will be smuggled over by then..."
When it comes to business, Chu Ming also becomes serious: "Former US Navy Special Forces soldier, are you sure you can win him over? Those American soldiers are all arrogant."
"As long as he wants something, we can win him over. There's no price the organization can't afford." Gin's voice was icy but also full of pride. "A sniper second only to Akai Shuichi... Ha, I want to see how powerful he is."
Chu Ming was on the other end of the phone, silently shocked because Gin couldn't see.
Tsk tsk tsk, Gin's damn competitive spirit, why didn't he put him together with Akai Shuichi? Is he jealous?
Chapter 689 This is clearly the treatment of the eldest brother
After the call was hung up, Chu Ming leaned against the head of the bed, fiddling with the phone in his hand, his face looking a little solemn.
The information revealed in Gin's words just now made him somewhat concerned.
What does "the boss told me that since you have shown your willingness to take over the organization, you should do your job well" mean?
On the surface, he never showed anything. He just followed Gin to complete missions every day, wandered around the organization whenever he had nothing to do, and caused trouble. However, these actions could not reveal any intentions.
unless……
——The boss knew about his attempt to secretly win over Vermouth and others.
So is Gin's words a reminder or a warning?
Resting his head on the backrest, Chu Ming let out a long sigh. He underestimated the boss's control over the organization. However, Chu Ming was a little surprised that the boss did not pursue the matter and instead passed the matter to him.
He had always thought that the so-called successor was just a safeguard set up by the boss to prevent the organization from being officially destroyed due to lack of management after his death. In this way, even if he died, the organization could still ensure stable operation and its research could continue.
In this way, if the experiment is successful one day, the BOSS might be able to be resurrected.
It now seems that he was wrong.
The boss actually really wants him to be his successor?
Throwing his phone away, Chu Ming slid into the bed, covered his face with the quilt, and twisted on the bed like a maggot with his eyes shining.
If that's really the case, then what does he have to worry about?
Isn’t it enough to just have fun?
*
Vodka felt creepy. He touched his arm which was covered with goose bumps. While waiting for the traffic light, he secretly glanced at Chu Ming out of the corner of his eye.
This was the umpteenth time Granburch had laughed foolishly this morning, and it made his scalp tingle. He wondered if Granburch was up to some weird idea again.
Chu Ming also noticed the little glances that Vodka was giving him from time to time, so he just leaned closer and said cheerfully, "Why, Afu has been peeking at me today, did you find that I've become more handsome? Stop peeking, I'll sit closer, you can look at me openly, don't be embarrassed, I won't charge you."
"No, no, no, no, no..." Vodka shook his head like a rattle, his whole body tense, afraid that Chu Ming would take advantage of the issue to torment him again.
Chu Ming didn't say much. He was in a good mood because he finally figured it out. He didn't even say anything harsh about Vodka's stupid mistake just now. He flipped through his phone and looked at the last goal for the day.
"Criminal psychologist Ping Dongtangci? Isn't that him?" Chu Ming's sight fell on the outdoor screen of a large shopping mall outside the car window. On the screen, a middle-aged man with a mustache and round-frame glasses was looking at the camera with contempt in his eyes. He propped up his chin and shouted at the camera, "Let the murderer come to him."
Chu Ming checked online and found that the case that Ping Dongtang was talking about was the case in which the police had followed the suspect outside Miss Zhuang Tang's villa. The statute of limitations would expire in three days, but this psychologist openly challenged the murderer, saying that the murderer must be hiding in some corner and dared not show up, trembling with fear until the statute of limitations was over.
Seeing him looking like he deserved a beating, Chu Ming stroked his chin and said, "That's perfect. The scapegoat is now delivered to your door. Ah Fu, if you kill him, others will only think that it was done by the murderer. After all, he is so attractive now. Why was he put on the assassination list?"
Vodka chuckled and said in a gossipy tone, "I read the relevant information yesterday. You see, Ping Dongtangci is quite arrogant. He doesn't seem to be afraid of death at all. In fact, he is the murderer back then. He is shouting so arrogantly now because he knows that the murderer will not go to him."
Chu Ming raised his eyebrows and began to look through the mission information. He was very interested in this kind of gossip.
The two people Ping Dongtang killed twenty years ago were his mahjong playing partners. It was because while playing mahjong, they accidentally mentioned whether the perfect crime existed.
The few of them had a heated discussion on topics ranging from small matters like whether they could steal the patrol officer's gun without the officer noticing, to big matters like whether they could set up a perfect crime scene.
In order to verify the existence of perfect crime, Ping Dongtang actually stole the patrolman's gun. He proudly revealed his cards to his poker friends, saying that his inference was correct.
He thought he would be admired and recognized by his fellow mahjong players, but when two of them heard that he had actually put their opinions into practice, they righteously accused him, saying that he was committing a crime and they didn't want to play mahjong with a criminal anymore.
When Ping Dongtang saw his poker friends turning against him, he was afraid that his future would be affected, so he simply killed two of them and threatened the remaining one, saying that he was an accomplice and that he was not allowed to leak the news.
However, this so-called "accomplice" could not bear the condemnation of his conscience five years later, and was about to persuade Ping Dongtangci to surrender together, but he was eventually killed by him.
The organization knew this news only because an external member of the organization had played mahjong in that mahjong hall and accidentally heard their argument. After learning that Ping Dongtangci was the real murderer, he reported it to the intelligence team.
It just so happened that Ping Dongtangci originally studied criminal psychology, and the organization made a deal with him based on the principle of investment. The organization helped him clean up the missed traces and evidence, and at the same time helped him become famous. And he was responsible for issuing some smoke bombs to cover up the organization's tracks when the organization needed it.
"Then he should have cooperated well with the organization. Why did they suddenly want to kill him..." Chu Ming flipped through the information, trying to find out the reason for the emotional breakdown between him and the organization. "Did he leak the organization's intelligence?"
"I know that. I was responsible for communicating with him before. This guy is usually quite honest, but the tracing period for his case is about to expire in a few days. I guess he has become more active and plans to break away from the organization and no longer wants to work for it."
Vodka was a little disdainful. He had seen a lot of people like this. He had also dealt with many of them when following Gin. Unless you die, don't even think about leaving the organization. This is an iron rule.
"Tsk, another person who can't see the reality clearly, but he's a little difficult to deal with. He's making a lot of noise in the media, and I don't know if the police will arrange people to protect him secretly." Chu Ming yawned, and seeing that he had arrived at the place, he pushed the door and got out of the car while saying, "You'd better be careful on this mission, don't 'accidentally' drop anything at the scene again."
Vodka touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly. He pressed the switch of the jammer to block the surveillance, then followed Chu Ming straight into the apartment and passed by a man wearing a long windbreaker and whistling.
Chu Ming keenly smelled a bloody scent from him and looked back in confusion. Such a strong smell of blood, could it be that he had just killed someone?
Except for the fact that he encountered more cases when he went out with Conan, he never encountered any homicide cases when he went out on his own. How could he encounter one today when he went out with Afu?
Could it be that Afu has the same physique as Conan?
Chu Ming looked at the man's receding back with interest, then looked at Afu beside him, wondering when he would do an experiment.
"what happened?"
Vodka saw Chu Ming stop and didn't know who he was looking at, so he turned around and looked over. His eyes happened to meet the two girls who had just arrived at the door.
The moment one of the familiar brown-haired little girls saw him, her face turned pale and she hid behind another little girl.
Vodka scratched his head in confusion. Has he been influenced by his elder brother's temperament because he has been with him for too long?
How could any child be so frightened by the sight of him?
This is clearly the treatment that the eldest brother received before?
Chapter 690 They Are Not Important
Haibara Ai huddled behind Ayumi like a frightened deer. Her breathing was rapid, her shoulders were trembling slightly, and her hands were clenched into fists, with her fingertips turning white from the excessive force.
Because of the perspective, she didn't see Chu Ming who was blocked by Vodka behind him. She just felt that as soon as she entered the door, Vodka looked back at her as if he had sensed something.
What's going on? Why is vodka here?
What is he doing here? Is Gin around here too?
Questions appeared in Haibara Ai's mind one after another, making her panic unconsciously.
"Ai, Ai, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you sweating so much? Why don't we take you to the hospital?" When Ayumi saw that Haibara Ai suddenly stopped talking, she pushed her with concern.
"No, no, it's okay..." Huihara Ai subconsciously pulled Ayumi's hand on her shoulder. Seeing that Vodka seemed to just look at her with some confusion and did not take the next step, she forced herself to calm down and whispered, "Let's go back quickly. We've been shopping for so long, they must be waiting anxiously."
Haibara Ai picked up the bag that had fallen to the ground because she had not held it firmly just now. She hesitated on purpose out of fear, trying to wait until the vodka was gone before she left.
At this time, a figure who had been covered tightly by Vodka appeared from behind Vodka. He said to Vodka, "Let's go. What are you looking at? If you like children, do you want to adopt one later?"
Vodka was called back to his senses. He turned around and laughed innocently: "I don't like children. I saw you looking back and thought you found something..."
Watching the two people turning into invisible figures in the corridor, Haibara Ai's heart finally settled down. Fortunately, it was Granburrough, not gin, that was mixed with the vodka.
She and Granburch had an agreement before that as long as she was willing to continue the APTX4869 drug analysis and antidote development, and did not try to investigate information related to the organization, Granburch would not do anything to her.
So when she saw it was Granburch, she breathed a sigh of relief and wasn't as nervous as before.
She followed Ayumi into the elevator, thinking as she walked. They were invited to Ayumi's home. During the trip, Ayumi mentioned that Ping Dongtangci, who was clamoring on TV to find the murderer, also lived in this building. So, did the people from the organization come here because of this incident?
When they got upstairs, Haibara Ai glanced at Ayumi who was chatting with Genta and others about the latest version of Kamen Rider toys, and quietly walked to Conan and told him the news that she had met Vodka and Granburr downstairs.
Conan suddenly became serious: "Are you sure it's them?"
Huihara Ai nodded, frowning slightly: "At that time, Ayumi and I were passing by a man wearing a black windbreaker and whistling, and then Vodka suddenly turned around and looked at me. At that moment, I thought my identity was exposed..."
