Chapter 723 Using the Identity of a Rich Woman's Sister
Vermouth was speechless. She obviously knew very well what kind of person Conan was.
"Don't worry too much about him. Maybe he knows that even if he gets into trouble again, there will be someone to help him, so he is fearless. If he still has those overestimating ideas, helping him now will really push him into the abyss." Chu Ming slowed down his tone and hit him with a stick. "But as long as you follow me wholeheartedly and don't do those traitorous things, I will spare his life appropriately."
Belmode said nothing. She took out a slim lady's cigarette from her pocket and shook it at Chu Ming with a wry smile: "You don't mind, do you?"
"You really mind it. Haven't you noticed that even Gin rarely smokes in front of me?" Chu Ming spoke bluntly without beating around the bush. This confused Vermouth, who was just trying to be polite and had already taken out her lighter. She stopped her hand as she was about to press the lighter and silently put the cigarette back.
"Sweetheart, your words are getting more and more rude. You are still as cute as before." Vermouth gave up the idea of continuing to plead with Chu Ming. It was already very good to be able to keep her life. After getting along for such a long time, she felt that she knew Granburr a little bit. He could laugh and joke with you normally, and even put down his airs and play around with you, but if he had promised to be loyal to him but turned against him, he would probably turn into Gin No. 2 immediately.
How should I put it, he is indeed someone brought up by Gin...
"It's obviously your perspective that has changed..." Chu Ming couldn't help but complain, and then he asked Vermouth for gossip, "I think Gin seems to have a lot of opinions about Rum's new guy. Do you know why?"
"The newcomer promoted by Rum? Which one are you referring to?" Vermouth thought for a moment, "Doesn't Rum always promote newcomers?"
Chu Ming thought about what Rum said before and said, "That's the one he sent out to carry out the undercover mission. He should have just received the code name not long ago. It is said that his status is second only to Curacao."
"If you mean Binga, he should have received it not long ago. When Rum sent him out on an undercover mission a few years ago, he had already promised to give him a code name." Vermouth thought for a moment and raised her red lips. "If you ask someone else, I might not know. You've asked the right person for this."
Chu Ming hurriedly squeezed next to Vermouth, staring at her with sparkling eyes, full of anticipation.
It's gossip time!
But Vermouth deliberately kept him in suspense. She took out the cigarette she had just put back and rubbed it twice, with obvious hints.
Chu Ming understood immediately and waved his hand: "Hey, I didn't react just now. I don't let Gin smoke around me because the smell of cigarettes is too bad. The ladies' cigarettes that my sister smokes have a sweet smell. Why can't you smoke? Smoke, smoke big puffs, if one cigarette is not enough, smoke ten!"
Vermouth twitched her lips, bit the cigarette between her lips and teeth, lowered her head to light the lighter, took a light puff, and exhaled the smoke. A wisp of smoke rose up, making her look mysterious and sexy.
After a while, she took out the cigarette and held it between her two fingers, with a light mist swirling around her slender fingertips: "This happened several years ago. When Binga was in the training camp, he was determined to break Gin's training record. He also boasted that he would surpass him and become the number one in the organization. However, Gin, who happened to be there to recruit people, heard it. Not only did he not restrain himself, he also challenged Gin to his face.
You also know how petty Gin is, he immediately pinned the man to the ground and taught him a lesson, Binga was also stubborn and refused to admit defeat. If he hadn't already shown his talent in computers and had been booked by Rum to join the intelligence team, he would have probably died or been disabled. "
Vermouth exhaled another puff of smoke, her posture seductive: "Although Binga joined the intelligence team, he has already had a grudge with Gin. He has some talent, but after joining the intelligence team, Rum has his number one confidant Curacao, so it is not his turn to take the position for the time being, so he set his sights on the action team. Do you know why you were beaten when you clamored to be the leader of the action team? Because Binga had already made this boast before you."
"He also wants to be the leader of the action team?" Chu Ming was a little surprised. In fact, he was just talking nonsense at the beginning. The so-called Bushido spirit of Japan is about the inferiors overthrowing their superiors. At that time, he had just traveled through time and had to follow the local customs... "Then where is he now? Rum said that he was sent out by him. Was it a secret mission?"
"It seems that he went to infiltrate Europol, but he entered as a programmer, which is considered a civilian position. Rum seemed to have heard that they were going to develop some new software, so he asked him to find out the news." Vermouth thought for a moment, feeling a little helpless. "Gin should have sent all this information to you, but you didn't even read it?"
Chu Ming thought of the dozens of GB of compressed data in his mailbox, and collapsed on the sofa with his hands spread out. "Too much, I don't want to read it... He's just a civilian, but he also wants to be the leader of the action team? Who gave him the courage?"
Vermouth's face was hidden in the dark smoke. Hearing this, he chuckled, as if with endless sarcasm: "Maybe he can't get ahead in the intelligence team. There is a Curacao above him. If he can't climb up, he can only look to the action team."
It seems like another new guy who has brains but not much.
"Then he has hit a wall. Let him go. He will know how to change direction after he hits his head against the wall." After listening to the gossip, Chu Ming reached out to pat away the cigarette in front of him, got up and stretched, looking at Vermouth, "I have a new event here, do you want to come and play? I can let you meet your little boy and relieve your homesickness a little."
Although Chu Ming's words were disgusting, Belmode still became interested. She put out her cigarette, raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows: "What kind of task?"
"Assist Gin to take revenge on the new sniper he brought in. You don't need to do too much, just keep an eye on him." Chu Ming didn't remember all the details, but he could vaguely remember that the sniper was killing like crazy at first, and was stopped by Conan when he was about to kill the last person, and it seemed that he relied on the power of Akai Shuichi.
Then he only needs to send Toru Amuro to keep an eye on Subaru Okiya. As long as the sniper successfully kills the last one and helps him evacuate, the mission should not be difficult.
Vermouth readily agreed, her long eyelashes drooping, her fingers lightly tapping on her red lips, thinking about what identity she would use to approach Xiaolan and Conan this time.
Chu Ming tilted his head, thinking of something, and came over to make a suggestion: "Why don't you try the nonsense I mentioned to him before? When you gave me the Lamborghini, I told them that it was given by a rich sister. Why don't you use this identity? It's quite suitable."
[Sorry my dears, I haven't updated in the past two days because I suddenly had a toothache. It's really a toothache, not an illness. The pain is so severe that it can kill me. Half of my face is swollen, and the nerves on the right side of my face are throbbing with pain. My head feels like it's going to explode. It hurts even more when I bite. I can't eat or sleep. I really can't update QAQ
After taking medicine for a few days, I feel a little better today. I only have a toothache and my head doesn't hurt as much anymore. I'll hurry up and make up a chapter. As for tomorrow, I'll have to wait and see_(:з」∠)
I have been taking leave recently, I am really sorry to the little cuties who have always supported me QAQ Thank you for always being with me, I love you (づ￣3￣)づ╭?～】
Chapter 724 No Need for Disguise
“Rich woman?” Vermouth was stunned for a moment, then smiled a little, “So this is the image of me in your heart, sweetheart. You actually like this kind of tone…”
Chu Ming looked at Belmode, who was smiling meaningfully and teasingly, speechlessly: "Forget it."
“Go, go, go. How can you not go? I’m very interested in this identity~” Vermouth was busy trying to comfort Chu Ming, who was a little angry, but she was just laughing in her heart.
"..." Chu Ming regretted mentioning this. "Xiao Lan's rich friend invited her to visit the opening ceremony of the BELL TREE tower that Suzuki Group had just built with great effort. She also brought me and Bourbon along. She also generously told me to bring any friends along. You can come with me later. Bourbon just accepted the mission and I don't know if he will be able to go."
Vermouth touched his face, thinking: "Then I have to think carefully about how to dress up to match the image you described. I can't let you embarrass yourself when the time comes."
"Uh, didn't I tell you..." Chu Ming scratched his head and cleared his throat, "Actually you don't need to disguise yourself, just go like this..."
“No need to disguise?” Vermouth was a little surprised. “With my identity, Conan already knows that I am a member of the organization. If I just go to find you like this, wouldn’t it be——”
"My software company wanted you to shoot a commercial before, so Conan asked me about it at that time. I told you that your old identity, Sharon, was an old friend of my parents, so Sharon's daughter Chris is naturally my sister. After you recognized me, you took a lot of care of me because of our parents' relationship, but you always made the excuse that you were working abroad and rarely came back. You only sent me gifts during the holidays. The rest of the details are up to you to make up." Chu Ming threw all the excuses he had given Conan before to Vermouth and let her make up her own lie.
Vermouth had never expected that she would be able to appear on camera with Chu Ming in person this time. She was stunned for a moment: "But it's a bit too troublesome for me to travel with this identity. What if there are reporters? And if I follow you so high-profile, you will probably be targeted."
"What are you afraid of? Your identity was selected by the organization. It is completely legal and can withstand investigation. Even if the FBI sees it, they dare not do anything to you in public. As for me, don't worry. The FBI can't touch me. Just think of yourself as a big star who returns to the country to see his brother." Chu Ming answered very easily. He did have the plan to use Vermouth's identity to lure the FBI.
Although the FBI's influence in Japan has been almost wiped out by the organization, there are still some little rats hiding deep in the ground, and we will catch them if we can.
As a legal Japanese citizen, it is impossible for the FBI to look for him in a high-profile manner. At most, they can have someone contact him secretly to investigate him. The most suitable candidate is Subaru Okiya, who faked his death and changed his identity.
Chu Ming was worried that he had no way to contact Okiya Subaru, so it would be best if he came to him himself.
****
"Brother Chu Ming, come here!" Conan stood at the gate in front of the tower and waved excitedly at Chu Ming, "Hey, you brought a female companion with you?"
Chu Ming took Vermouth and walked over there. Vermouth was wearing a black hat, sunglasses and a mask, looking particularly low-key.
As the two people gradually approached, Conan suddenly felt that this person looked somewhat familiar, and kept staring at Vermouth.
Chu Ming patted his head: "Good morning~ Are Xiaolan and the others here?"
"It's not early at all, it's almost noon." Conan retracted his gaze, looked up at Chu Ming, and couldn't help but complain, "I knew that Chu Ming was bragging. You always said that you can get up at five o'clock, but in fact you can sleep until ten o'clock."
Chu Ming pinched his face and manually muted his microphone: "Okay, we don't need to talk about these things."
Conan shook his face, shook Chu Ming's hand down, and looked at Vermouth beside him: "Brother Chu Ming, who is this big sister? Is she your girlfriend?"
Chu Ming turned his head to look at Vermouth, and gave Conan a cryptic look: "You also know this sister, she is the spokesperson for our company. She just came back to China two days ago and came to see me. She heard that the Bell Tree Tower opened today and was very interested, so she came along."
Conan received Chu Ming's hint, but did not react: "No wonder this big sister is wrapped so tightly, she turns out to be a big star. I remember that the spokesperson for your company, brother Chu Ming, is - hiccup..."
Conan suddenly remembered the spokesperson he had seen on TV before, and hiccupped in fear: "Bei, Bei, Beier..."
Vermouth took off her sunglasses, revealing her charming eyes, and winked at Conan: "Little detective, long time no see~"
Conan grabbed Chu Ming's clothes and pulled him aside, his face full of disbelief. He almost climbed onto Chu Ming's back and shook his head to see if there was any water in it: "Why did you bring her here???"
Chu Ming looked back at Vermouth, who was wearing sunglasses and standing still leisurely, and squatted down and muttered to Conan: "Didn't I say before that she is a good friend of my parents, and we have contacted several times before. This time she came to me suddenly after returning to the country, and I thought that instead of sending her away, I might as well bring her with me to see what she is going to do. Besides, the frequency of members of the organization appearing around you has not been low recently. Although Vermouth's position is unclear, at least she will not hurt you. We may be able to obtain some information through her..."
Conan couldn't resist the temptation of the information at all, and was convinced by Chu Ming in just a few words. He glanced at Vermouth, deeply agreed with Chu Ming's proposal, and soon put on a smiling face again.
Although Haibara Ai is also upstairs and will definitely be scared to death when she sees Vermouth, but information is important after all, so I can only apologize to my friend.
Sure enough, when Conan took Chu Ming and Vermouth to the observation deck on the tower, Haibara Ai felt as if she was being stared at by some ferocious beast. Her hair stood on end and she was sweating profusely.
"Brother Chu Ming?" Xiaolan and Yuanzi were standing by the French window looking at the scenery outside. She turned around and saw Conan, Chu Ming and a stranger coming over. She was a little surprised, "Who is this?"
"This is our company's spokesperson, and she is also my sister." Chu Ming introduced Vermouth to everyone, "She is the sister who gave me the sports car before."
Vermouth took off her sunglasses and smiled politely at everyone: "Hello, I'm Chrissie Wynyard, nice to meet you. I've been abroad for many years and rarely come back. Chu Ming's parents have a shallow relationship, and he has a stubborn personality and doesn't communicate with people. He would rather stay alone in the country than go abroad with me. I was worried at first, but fortunately you are by his side. Thanks to you for taking care of him during this time."
Chu Ming looked at Vermouth who had completely entered the role, the corner of his mouth twitched, he stood silently behind without saying a word, trying his best to play the autistic boy as described by Vermouth.
Chapter 725: The One You Think Of
“No, no, I knew Chu Ming was a good kid the moment I saw him, hahaha…” Maori Kogoro was originally standing beside her with his hands and feet trembling because of his fear of heights. After Vermouth took off her sunglasses and saw her appearance clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took two or three steps over, grabbed Vermouth’s hand and shook it up and down, “I’m Maori Kogoro, the legendary detective. It’s an honor to meet you. If you have any commissions in the future, you can always come to me~”
"Dad, what are you doing?" Xiaolan, who was angry at Maori Kogoro's performance, dragged Maori Kogoro behind her and glared at him. Then she said to Vermouth a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Miss Chris, in fact, it's better to say that he has been helping us than to say that we are taking care of Chu Ming. This thank you is really unworthy..."
"Wow, Sister Xiaolan, look at the beautiful scenery here~" Conan suddenly interrupted the conversation of several people, ran to the window, and spoke loudly in an exaggerated manner.
He wanted to get information from Vermouth, but he didn't want Vermouth to get information from Xiaolan.
Haibara Ai, who was hiding behind the children near the window, saw Vermouth walking towards the window step by step because of Conan's words, and her eyes flew towards Conan. She knew that Conan interrupted them because he didn't want Vermouth to get information from Xiaolan, but he couldn't just sell her out like this, right? ! !
And Brother Chu Ming, why did he suddenly appear with Vermouth this time?
Did the organization give him a new task?
But the woman, Vermouth, is insidious and cunning. When she was still in the organization, she heard a lot of news about Vermouth from Vodka. It is said that every time she goes on a multiplayer mission, her partners will always be killed for various reasons, including many code members.
Will it be dangerous for Brother Chu Ming to partner with her this time?
She was twisting the corners of her clothes in her hands in confusion, not noticing that the person she was worried about had walked up to her.
"What's wrong? Why are you so worried?"
With a warm palm covering her head, Huihara Ai came back to her senses from her daze, raised her head and looked at Chu Ming who was touching her head, with undisguised worry in her eyes: "Brother Chu Ming..."
Chu Ming touched her soft hair and felt it was nice, so he stroked it twice more: "Don't worry."
Huiyuan Ai's heart, which had been hanging in the air, strangely calmed down when she heard Chu Ming's three words. Her tense shoulders also slowly relaxed, her eyes full of dependence, and she replied softly, "Okay."
Xiaolan has always liked Sharon, and when she saw her daughter who is also a big star, she started chatting with Vermouth with sparkling eyes. Vermouth has always been very patient with her angels. She said this to Xiaolan with a smile, but she still divided her attention on Chu Ming and Haibara Ai.
I have to say that Granburch is really good at pretending. If she hadn't seen Granburch when he was crazy, she would never have thought that he could pretend to be so confusing. Looking at Shirley's expression, it seems that she has been completely conquered by Granburch. If Granburch asked her to follow her back to the organization to die the next moment, she probably wouldn't hesitate at all.
Wow, crazy people are indeed born actors.
Suddenly, she seemed to have noticed something. She put her palm on the floor-to-ceiling window glass and looked into the distance. Then her face changed slightly. She grabbed Xiaolan, who was still saying something happily, and dragged her behind a column. Just as she was about to speak, she felt as if she bumped into someone from behind. She turned her head and found that Chu Ming was holding Huihara Ai by the collar and had also shrunk behind the pillar. The small pillar blocked the figures of the four people.
"Eh? What's wrong?" Xiaolan was caught off guard and was a little confused.
Chu Ming looked at Vermouth who was protecting Xiaolan tightly by her side, and then looked at Conan who was still peeking out of the window, his eyes gradually becoming meaningful.
Look, the closeness and distance are now clearly distinguished.
"Wow--"
"Bam—"
"what--"
Vermouth was about to say something when suddenly, the sound of glass breaking and heavy objects falling to the ground was heard, and the people around her screamed.
"Someone is sniping, get down quickly!!!" Conan shouted to the people around him, searching for Xiaolan's trace. Now everyone was frightened and ran away, Xiaolan must not get hit and injured.
This thought came to an abrupt end when he saw Xiaolan being well protected by Vermouth. He looked at the people behind the pillar with some disbelief, and a little grief and anger surged in his heart.
It was obvious that these two people had discovered something early on, and they just left him at the window!
Chu Ming coughed twice when Conan looked at him. He was chatting with Huibara Ai at that time. When he felt someone pointing a sniper rifle at him, he just picked up the human shield next to him and hid in the cover. As a result, Vermouth protected Xiaolan, as if he was worried about Huibara Ai's safety and took people to hide with him...
