Although he was underage, he was not recruited.
So he was absolutely right.
Shiliang was choked: "No, I'm asking for... uh, for my brother. I mean, my brother's skills are much better than mine! Your company will not lose out if you recruit him... Of course, I have to help him determine your company's benefits and job scope first."
Her brother? Isn't that Akai Shuichi?
Does she still need to ask for help? Akai Shuichi has already experienced the benefits of the organization himself...
Chu Ming smiled and nodded, without saying too much: "The main business is to accept various employments, and sometimes we need to travel abroad. As for the benefits, they are no less than those of all the companies on the market. After all, our security tasks are sometimes quite dangerous and involve life safety, so the protection is also better. If your brother is interested, you can contact our company's HR, and they will tell you the details."
Without waiting for Shiliang to say anything else, Chu Ming kicked Vodka, waking him up after a long time, and stood up to say goodbye: "I have heard of Mr. Maori's name for a long time, and this time I accompanied Yuzuka to your house to have a good chat with you about the cases you have solved. Unfortunately, this happened, and it's getting late, so we won't bother you any more and will visit you another day."
Kogoro Mori didn't try to try to keep him, after all, today was really thrilling.
On the other side, after Conan hung up the phone, he sat down on the ground, sweating profusely. Haibara Ai beside him was no better, her whole body was almost soaked in cold sweat.
They both understood one thing clearly: vodka is gin's loyal little brother.
Whatever Vodka knows is basically equivalent to telling Gin.
Now, Conan answered the phone in the tone of Kudo Shinichi in front of Vodka. What is the difference between that and directly revealing the vest in front of Gin?
Although the matter was resolved in time by using Hattori's name, whether Vodka believed it or not is still another matter...
Thinking of this, Conan clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind, and turned to comfort Huiyuan Ai: "Don't worry, I have a way."
Granburch personally admitted that he was also a non-staff member of the organization, so when faced with such a situation, he had no choice but to ask him for help.
Although this method seemed to betray his long-standing insistence, he had no choice now.
If Gin really knew about this, the first ones to suffer would definitely be the uncle and Xiaolan...
He didn't dare to gamble.
Chapter 701: Close to the face and open up
[Holmes's Disciple]: Mr. Granburch, if Vodka knows my identity, will it affect your plan?
Chu Ming had already returned home when he received this message from Conan. He looked at the message sent by Conan and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Conan's tone made it seem as if they were already in the same boat...
She was clearly full of resentment when he jokingly called her a non-staff member of the organization before, but now she seems to be able to take advantage of the situation.
Poor Conan doesn't know that his identity is already clear to the BOSS and Gin and the others, and now he is even trying to guess Vodka's reaction indirectly.
Chu Ming leaned back on the sofa, smiling playfully, his fingers pressing the screen nimbly.
[Noon is not the BOSS]: It’s okay, he won’t know.
Here, Conan was holding his phone and staring at the screen nervously. He wondered if Granburch could understand his implication and whether he was willing to help him cover it up...
The moment Conan saw the news, he relaxed completely, took a long breath, collapsed on the sofa, and said to the equally nervous Huibara Ai, comforting her: "Don't worry, Granburch promised to help us cover it up."
Huiyuan Ai came over to look at the message on his phone. She was worried when she heard that Conan and Granburch had communicated with each other. She was afraid that Conan was courting disaster. It would be bad if Conan had too much contact with Granburch and was sold out by him. But this time, she actually needed to rely on him to help her out...
As soon as she saw the message, Huihara Ai paused, looked at Granburr's ID, and her mouth twitched slightly: "Are you sure this is really the contact information Granburr gave you? Why is this name so..."
"It's indeed his, but it wasn't called this name at the beginning..." Conan curled up on the sofa, amazed at Granburch's arrogance. If he is not the BOSS at noon, doesn't that mean he will be the BOSS in the morning and evening?
Okay, okay, it's a bit like going close to the face and opening wide.
He is still alive and well with this name, it seems that Granburch is really arrogant in the organization.
Conan turned to ask Huibara Ai, "You really have no impression of Granburr? Look at his ID, this kind of crazy personality from time to time, he doesn't look like the kind of person who would be unknown in the organization..."
Haibara Ai shook her head. Back then, she stayed in the laboratory all day long. Even when she went out, it was just to go shopping with her sister. She basically had no communication with other members, so it was normal that she had never heard of this person.
"I'm not from the action team. I was always in the laboratory back then. How could I know so many people? I know Gin only because our laboratory was under his management at that time." Haibara Ai only said half of the story. In fact, not only was the laboratory under his management, but her guardianship was also in Gin's hands.
"But he is the heir...he can't just appear out of nowhere, right?" Conan felt that there must be something wrong.
Haibara Ai suddenly remembered that Chu Ming had told her before, that Granburr was discovered by Gin from among the peripheral members after she defected from the organization, but why would a peripheral member become the heir?
Although she has never met the BOSS, she took over her parents' experiments and began to be responsible for the Silver Bullet series of drugs. She also has some understanding of what kind of drugs the BOSS wants. Would a person who seeks immortality and even wants to be resurrected from the dead be willing to find an heir?
Is it used as a puppet?
So it doesn't matter how arrogant he is in the organization, after all, he is just used as a microphone...
The more Haibara Ai thought about it, the more she felt that her idea made sense. She told Conan about her guess, and they both felt that this guess was very likely.
After all, in this case, Granburch's failure to report Conan after discovering him would not seem so strange.
He wanted the drug information left by her parents and drew blood from Conan for research, perhaps just to get a stable APTX-4869 and its antidote!
In this way, he can leave himself a way out and replicate the method that Haibara Ai used to defect from the organization. In case the boss no longer needs the puppet, he can use the drug APTX-4869 to become smaller and then escape from the organization!
If this is really what they guessed, then many of Granburch's previous actions seem to have traceable clues...
Chu Ming didn't know that Conan and Haibara Ai had already come up with a reasonable excuse for him. After sending a message to Conan, he threw his phone away.
I've been using Granburch's identity for several days, it's time to change to my real identity.
Fortunately, the mission on Vodka's side has been completed, and Kogoro Mouri has also made his secondary account familiar to the public. If he doesn't log into his main account, Conan will probably become suspicious.
So when Conan and Xiaolan went to the convenience store to buy things the next day and came back, they saw Chu Ming sitting in front of the coffee table, chatting with Maori Kogoro.
Conan ran in with some surprise: "Brother Chu Ming! Are you done?"
Chu Ming greeted Xiao Lan, and rubbed Conan's head with a smile. "Yes, the company had several important events, and several important programmers went abroad for further studies. Only I and the few people who stayed behind could work overtime. I feel like I have dark circles under my eyes this week."
Seeing that Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro's attention was not here, Chu Ming handed the SIDE number he had taken from Conan back to him: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. The SIDE number you gave me last time, I checked it for you when I went back this time, and found that it was an empty number that had never been registered. Following this line of investigation, I later found that someone had implanted a program in the company's backend that runs independently internally. The account you gave me, including many SIDE numbers, are hidden in this internal program and cannot be detected."
Conan's eyes widened, somewhat surprised: "Have you found out now? Are there other numbers besides this one?"
Chu Ming shook his head: "I and several programmers have tried to break this program, but it seems to have its own consciousness and there is no way to break or bypass it..."
Listening to Chu Ming's description, Conan suddenly remembered the Noah's Ark that was taken away by Gin's brother and his girlfriend. It was a pity that Gin's girlfriend had given him a hint and he couldn't tell the truth.
Seeing Conan's expression changing from time to time, as if he was very worried, Chu Ming patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, I've been working overtime these days just to do this. Although I can't crack this program and can't get the information of the accounts protected by the program, I have added several layers of protection to other programs, so that they can't peek into other users' information. It's equivalent to being independent of each other. I can only do this step..."
Hearing Chu Ming's sigh, Conan quickly comforted him: "It's okay, Brother Chu Ming, you have done well enough. You don't know that during the few days you were away..."
Listening to Conan blah blah retelling him his experience of driving around with a trumpet and carrying vodka, and he had to act surprised, Chu Ming really wanted to sigh at this moment.
Chapter 702 The Pot is Overturned
After not staying in the Maori Detective Agency for too long, Chu Ming took Conan directly to Dr. Agasa's house.
Conan had previously made an appointment with a few children at Professor Agasa's house to have curry rice together at the professor's house on the weekend. He had originally been preparing to go there after accompanying Xiaolan to the convenience store to buy the ingredients, but was delayed by Chu Ming for a while. By now, the children should have arrived.
Sure enough, when Chu Ming and Conan arrived, they saw Ayumi and Professor Agasa surrounding Haibara Ai, or to be exact, surrounding the pot in front of her. They were looking at the curry bubbling with steam in the pot with their eyes shining, especially Professor Agasa, who was holding a plate in his hand and muttering something like "taste it", but in fact the plate in his hand was full of rice.
"It seems that I came at the right time and got a free meal." Chu Ming said with a smile as he walked.
"Brother Chu Ming!" Huiyuan Ai slapped the doctor's restless hand away and jumped down from the chair in surprise. The pot was too high, so she had to stand on the chair to reach it. "Are you done?"
Chu Ming ruffled her and Ayumi's soft hair and said, "Yeah, I came to play with you guys as soon as I finished my work. Why are you the only ones here? Where are Genta and Mitsuhiko? They haven't arrived yet? They're not even active in eating."
Ayumi stood there, her hair was rubbed by Chu Ming unexpectedly, she said in a daze: "They went to buy drinks, they will probably be back soon."
Chu Ming nodded and saw Conan go to Dr. Agasa and take out his laptop to check something on the Internet. He didn't pay attention to this side, so he winked at Haibara Ai and went to the laboratory downstairs with her.
Although Ayumi was very curious about what Chu Ming wanted to whisper to Haibara Ai, after all, Chu Ming still had some influence from before, so she didn't dare to go over and eavesdrop, so she could only run back to Professor Agasa.
Chu Ming took Huiyuan Ai to the basement, closed the door, and asked Huiyuan Ai seriously: "Has Conan's identity been discovered by Vodka?"
Haibara Ai had originally let this matter go, but after hearing what Chu Ming said, she became anxious again, and the color on her face gradually faded: "Didn't Conan say that he contacted Granburch..."
Chu Ming nodded and comforted her: "I know about this, too. Granburch took over the follow-up investigation of this matter directly and forcefully, and asked Vodka not to mention it again. But Vodka is a big mouth in the organization, and it is basically a fantasy to expect him to keep it secret. So I made some preparations. Gin went to the United States to perform a mission some time ago, and he was not in the country during this period, so Granburch was able to suppress Vodka. In addition, I contacted Vodka specifically two days ago and expressed my willingness to help him investigate secretly. Don't worry, there is no problem for the time being, but you must be careful recently and don't let this happen again, otherwise it will be difficult to hide it next time."
Huiyuan Ai slowly calmed down and understood what Chu Ming meant: "I will watch over Edogawa."
The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a sound of breaking and Ayumi's sad cry from outside. Chu Ming and Huihara Ai looked at each other. Huihara Ai took the lead and ran up the stairs with a frown: "What's wrong?"
After going upstairs, Chu Ming discovered that the curry pot that was emitting a fragrant smell had overturned. A football that was smaller than the mouth of the pot was floating in the pot, sinking and sinking in the hot air. Ayumi's head and face were covered with curry soup, and she was crying sadly. Yuantai stood aside with a helpless look on his face, whispering an apology.
"What happened?" Chu Ming was dumbfounded when he saw the messy scene in front of him. His lunch flew away?
"Brother Chu Ming?" Genta and Mitsuhiko were very shocked when they saw Chu Ming following out behind Haibara Ai, especially Genta, who seemed at a loss with a guilty expression on his face.
They had just come back from shopping and didn't know Chu Ming was there too.
"It's all Genta's fault. Conan and I told him not to play the ball in the room, but he just wouldn't listen. As a result, he kicked the ball into the pot, and splashed Ayumi all over." Mitsuhiko complained quickly to prevent Chu Ming from settling accounts with him.
Before Chu Ming could say anything, Huihara Ai became furious when she saw Ayumi crying so sadly. She walked up and slapped Yuanta on the forehead: "You are so ridiculous!"
Yuan Tai was shocked by the beating, and he knew that he had made a mistake, so he bowed his head honestly: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I will reflect on it!"
Chu Ming held back his laughter and pulled up a rag, roughly wiping Ayumi's body: "Go take a shower, you can change into Xiao Ai's coat first."
Dr. Agasa had already taken out a coat of Haibara Ai from the closet and handed it to Ayumi, while Haibara Ai put her hair into a hat and stared at Genta with a stern face: "Because of your trouble, we have to buy ingredients to make curry again! Come on, all of you come with me!"
Conan and Mitsuhiko, who were innocently affected, dared not say a word under Haibara Ai's aura and could only nod hurriedly.
Conan suggested quietly, "Why don't you stay here and we can go shopping together."
Huihara Ai suddenly turned her head and glared at him, her eyes grim, and there seemed to be a raging fire behind her: "Shut up! If you are the only ones allowed to go, you will buy those weird things again! The doctor just asked you to buy drinks, and look at what messed up things are in the three big bags you brought back!!!"
Chu Ming raised his eyebrows and watched Huihara Ai angrily lead a few people out. He felt a little emotional. Looking at the momentum of Huihara Ai just now, she really looked a bit like Gin. She was indeed a person who came out of the organization...
When they went out, Ayumi was still humming a song in the bathroom while taking a bath, Professor Agasa was busy cleaning up the mess, and Chu Ming was lying on the sofa with a clear conscience, waiting for them to come back from shopping and eat the ready-made food, looking particularly leisurely and comfortable.
Not long after he entered the door, he felt that there seemed to be several bugs installed in Dr. Agasa's house. This should be done by Shuichi Akai next door. Chu Ming didn't care. After all, they were only installed in the hall. Every time he went to chat with Haibara Ai, he went to her basement laboratory. There were no bugs installed there, so Chu Ming was not afraid that he would hear something.
Just when Chu Ming was bored and leaning on the sofa playing Tetris, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Dr. Agasa was still busy with a rag in his hand. When he heard the bell, he leaned up from the floor and said, "Are these kids so fast? Chu Ming, go open the door so I don't have to wipe my hands again."
Chu Ming paused the game and walked towards the door with some surprise. Just after opening the door, his pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly turned around and avoided the electric shock device in the hands of a man wearing a black tights and a hood on his head at the door at a weird angle.
Before the man in black could react, Chu Ming dragged him into the room and hit him on the neck with his elbow. The man fell down without even a grunt.
Tsk tsk, he is worthy of being like this. He has been alert even after not exercising for such a long time. If it were Afu, he would have been knocked down long ago~
Chapter 703: The Force Value is a Bit Low
Chu Ming casually dusted off his body and his sight fell on a van at the entrance of the alley. The driver of that van was shocked when he saw his accomplice being knocked down, and quickly started the car and tried to escape.
