Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

"If you're free, I have some urgent tasks here, related to the FBI. Didn't you want a big mission?"

Chu Ming quickly abandoned Vermouth, moved closer to Gin, pushed past Vodka, and began to pat Gin's shoulders.

"Big brother, I knew you loved me the most. This kind of mission is perfect for me! Tell me, is it to bomb the FBI's headquarters or to snipe an FBI agent? Whether it's murder to cover it up or blackmail and kidnapping, I'll handle it perfectly for you."

Looking into Chu Mingliang's bright, expectant eyes, Gin's voice remained completely calm.

"Find the FBI's base after they come to Japan."

Chapter 178 Crossdressing (Bonus Chapter 2)

"Isn't this the intelligence team's responsibility?"

Chu Ming was no longer interested in giving Gin a back massage, so he returned to his seat and pulled the vodka back with him.

"Isn't the intelligence team's ace in your team now?" Vermouth chuckled. "That guy named Bourbon is quite good at gathering intelligence."

"Then this matter should be Rum's responsibility. It's not right for our action team to do everything while he reaps the benefits."

Gin had a slight smile on his lips at this moment. He chuckled and said, "Rum is busy catching their intelligence team's mole right now."

Hearing Gin's undisguised gloating laughter, Chu Ming nodded.

Got it. In the past, undercover agents were mostly from the action team. Rum has mocked Gin countless times, both openly and secretly, because of this incident. But the tables have turned, and this time it's finally his turn.

"What undercover agent? I want to know the details too!" Chu Ming was like a badger jumping around in a melon patch, hoping someone would give him a piece of fresh melon.

"Back when we were assassinating Shigehiko Tonguchi, Gin should have told you that it was a plan to lure out an undercover agent. Sherry was there that day, and she even planted a listening device and a tracking device in Gin's car. After this period of investigation, it has been confirmed that this information leak did not originate from the action team."

"So it was a mistake on the intelligence team's side? Maybe Shirley suddenly saw Big Brother's car on the road and then staged it? After all, Big Brother's car is so recognizable."

"Hmph, impossible. That woman wouldn't carry something like that around all the time. If we really met her on the road, where would she get the bugging device?" Gin said, based on his understanding of Sherry.

Gin is right, Sherry wouldn't carry something like that around, but Conan would.

"Is there any progress on Rum's side?" Chu Ming asked curiously.

"That old man boasted that he knew everyone in the intelligence team inside and out, and that there couldn't possibly be an undercover agent around him. He's been proven wrong this time, and they're investigating him now." Gin was in an exceptionally good mood at this moment.

I wonder what Rum might find out.

Chu Ming didn't care. Whether the undercover agent was found out or not, it didn't affect him at the moment.

"Big brother, I think my sister is the perfect candidate for this kind of intelligence gathering mission! I'll help her establish her undercover identity first, then she'll handle the intelligence gathering, and finally, I'll... clean up the mess and deliver a big gift to the discovered FBI!"

Gin thought about it for a moment and agreed, then nodded and brought up another matter.

“Vermouth, the BOSS should have mentioned this to you as well. Teach Granbury’s disguise skills again, so that no one can detect any flaws, including the falsetto, demeanor, and other aspects. Next time in the organization, don’t call him by his name, call him by his code name, to separate Chu Ming and Granbury. The BOSS plans to use Granbury’s real identity as a hidden pawn.”

"So you mean, you want to align my identity as Chu Ming with a more righteous and honorable one?"

"You could say that, currently only five people know what you really look like: me, Vermouth, Vodka, Chianti, and Cohen. All the peripheral members who saw you before have been killed. The only one who is uncertain is Sherry. She saw what you really looked like, but at that time you were just a peripheral member, so she wouldn't have taken you seriously."

Chu Ming nodded: "I understand what the organization means. Don't worry, I'll be more active at crime scenes from now on."

“That’s right, that’s what the boss meant too. If you don’t have enough cases, don’t worry, the organization will help you create some,” Vermouth said with a smile.

The BOSS's current decision is relatively reassuring for Vermouth. Since Chu Ming is lurking, it means that Xiao Lan will not be in any danger in the short term.

Now she can finally free up her time to investigate Shinichi Kudo's whereabouts.

“Alright, Chu Ming—uh, Granbury…” Vermouth frowned, somewhat annoyed. “Why is your code name so long?”

???

Feeling aggrieved, Chu Ming muttered under his breath, "Isn't my sister's own code name long too?"

"Sweetheart~" Vermouth changed her address, pulling Chu Ming upstairs. "Let's go to my room today, I'll teach you how to disguise yourself step by step~"

"Yay! Yay!" Chu Ming excitedly went upstairs with them.

"Uh, big brother, is everything really alright?" Vodka watched Chu Ming skip and jump after Vermouth, unsure of who to worry about.

"Hmph, it's alright, Vermouth isn't that desperate."

Vodka opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Who would worry about that troublemaker? If he really caused trouble, who in the entire stronghold could control him except for the eldest brother?

----------------------

"Sweetheart, you're so beautiful~" Vermouth couldn't help but look at the girl in front of her with amazement.

Her long brown hair cascaded down her shoulders, her skin was like jade, her eyebrows resembled distant mountains, and her thick, curled eyelashes cast faint shadows on her eyes. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her pink lips were slightly pursed, revealing a gentle and captivating smile. Every aspect of her exuded unparalleled elegance.

Chu Ming held up a mirror and winked at himself, then clutched his chest: "My God, who is this beauty? I've truly fallen in love with her! How can there be such an ethereal and stunning woman in this world!"

"..." Vermouth was speechless at Chu Ming's words. "I just taught you how to use a falsetto, so don't speak with your own voice."

Chu Ming coughed lightly, stood up, and turned around in front of Vermouth.

"Sister, am I beautiful?" Her voice was light and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley, or a kite crying and a phoenix singing.

Vermouth clapped her hands: "Good, next we'll learn—"

Chu Ming lowered his head shyly: "Wait a minute, sister. This is my first time dressing in women's clothing, how can I just take it off like this?"

Vermouth blinked, instantly understanding what Chu Ming was up to: "Who do you want to find? Gin or Vodka?"

"Of course it's—Gin! Today is the last day the boss ordered Gin not to beat me up, so I have to seize this last chance before it expires!"

After tidying her long hair, Chu Ming swayed her hips, adopting a seductive demeanor, preparing to give Gin a little late-night surprise.

—The following is the main text—

"Boom boom boom——"

Chu Ming, holding a glass of wine, stood gracefully in front of Gin's office and gently knocked on the door.

"It's so late, could it be that Vermouth has come to ask Big Brother for help...?"

Chu Ming stood in front of the door and heard Vodka's mutterings as he opened it. He composed himself.

"Who are you?" Vodka stared warily at the woman in the doorway.

“Lord Vodka, I am Bailey’s, a new member of the organization. Lord Vermouth sent me here, saying that Lord Gin would arrange my future transfer.”

Gin heard the conversation at the door and looked up. Under the moonlight, the woman was elegant and beautiful. He frowned slightly, remembering that Vermouth had indeed mentioned such a person to him before. But for an assassin, being too beautiful was not a good thing.

"Come in."

Upon hearing Gin's voice, Vodka scanned Chu Ming like a searchlight, making sure there were no hidden weapons under Chu Ming's revealing attire before letting him in.

Walking up to Gin, Chu Ming placed the coffee she was holding on Gin's table, her beautiful eyes seeming to hold unspoken words, captivating and alluring.

"Lord Gin~"

Gin frowned, his gaze sweeping over the woman's face.

What were your main responsibilities before?

"My main responsibility is intelligence gathering. Lady Vermouth said you might need me."

Vodka asked, somewhat puzzled, "Wouldn't it be difficult for you to infiltrate and gather intelligence looking like that? You can disguise yourself too?"

Chu Ming bit his lip lightly, his eyes sparkling.

"No, my main path is one of conquest."

After saying that, Chu Ming took a few steps and walked to Qin Jiu's side.

Gin watched the woman slowly approaching, but surprisingly, he didn't stop her. Instead, he looked at her with a suspicious gaze.

Chu Ming felt a little flustered under their gaze. He thought his disguise this time should be flawless.

He approached Gin, gently placing his fair and delicate hand on Gin's shoulder. As he slowly squatted down, his hand moved down to gently touch Gin's chest. A faint blush graced his exquisitely beautiful face, and his breath was sweet as orchids.

"Gin-sama~ The moonlight is just right, why don't you try some Baileys?"

Vodka, standing by the door, watched this turn of events unfold, unsure of what to do. How did the story unfold to this point?

My older brother didn't seem to refuse. Should he leave? Should he say something before leaving? If he does, will my older brother feel disturbed? Should he close the door when he leaves?

Gin grabbed the hand that was slowly groping down his shoulder, spitting out the words through clenched teeth: "Get lost."

So clueless about romance?

Chu Ming parted her red lips slightly and let out a soft, melodious cry.

"Lord Gin, you're hurting me~"

Gin's fingers trembled slightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed as if he was disgusted. He grabbed the man's hand and threw him toward the door.

Although he could keep his balance, he was now playing the role of a weak woman. Chu Ming maintained his persona, staggering back to the door in the posture of being pushed.

Vodka instinctively helped the person up.

Seeing someone helping her, Chu Ming simply leaned softly into Vodka's arms, her slender hand brushing against Vodka's arm.
