Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Miura's secretary added, "Indeed, the president did give a speech at the University of Tokyo six months ago, but he came back looking pale. His wife asked him what happened, but the president didn't say."

Conan's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to Chu Ming: "Fujino-nii, did something happen back then?"

"That's right. After President Oki finished his speech, he was about to leave when he realized he had left something backstage. At that time, most people had left since the speech was over, leaving only me and another classmate to tidy up. The backstage was quite chaotic. President Oki was walking in a hurry and tripped over something backstage, falling onto the extendable stool. I took him to the hospital. My classmate can testify to that. President Oki also told me not to tell anyone about this."

"Took a fall? Don't tell anyone?" Inspector Megure frowned. "Mr. Fujino, please answer the question seriously. How could this happen just because you took a fall?"

"Because the stool was of poor quality. When the president sat down, the telescopic rod punctured the stool surface and protruded, which is why he sat down..."

"Hiss—" Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"The hospital's proctology department should have a record of this at the time. Inspector Megure can send someone to check. It was indeed me who took him to the hospital. At the time, the president repeatedly told me and my classmates not to tell anyone..."

The thing that Ooki Yu dropped was something the original owner secretly took. The original owner originally just wanted to trip Ooki Yu by taking advantage of the messy backstage setup, so he could become familiar with him and then kidnap him. He didn't expect it to work so well.

After Oki's chrysanthemum was injured, the classmate sent him away under the pretense of taking him to the hospital, but in reality, they kidnapped him and extorted money from him before pretending to take him to the hospital. Presumably because of the Black Organization's reputation and the leverage they held over him, Oki returned without uttering a sound, not even telling anyone about his injury.

Even Conan was surprised to hear such a juicy piece of gossip during his routine suspicion. Luckily, Ran wasn't there, or her pure heart would have been corrupted.

After Inspector Megure sent someone to the hospital to check and confirm, Chu Ming did not leave, but instead wandered around.

As he passed through the living room, he noticed Conan staring blankly at the flowers on the coffee table, with pieces of paper he had just pulled from the trash can scattered on the floor. He walked over and pressed Conan's head down, saying, "Little boy, are you playing a prank? Don't rummage through the trash can, it's dirty."

"Big brother Fujino~" Conan was still a little embarrassed, after all, it was he who raised the suspicion, which ended up revealing President Oki's secret.

"Big brother, look at these flowers! They're so strange. I bought them yesterday, but they've already withered like this. And these chocolates, they've all turned into this, like they've melted and then solidified. I just talked to Uncle Tokito. He used to run a company, but it went bankrupt because President Oki maliciously interfered, and his friend committed suicide because of it. Could it be...? Ahahaha, all of this is what Uncle Mori said, hahaha! Big brother, look how well I imitated him, hahaha..."

Conan was seriously analyzing the situation when he suddenly realized something was wrong when he saw Chu Ming listening intently. He was no longer a high school detective, so he quickly pretended to be stupid and got away with it.

Chu Ming nodded: "You do have the flair of Detective Mori. It seems you will become a great detective in the future. Mr. Mori's suspicions are very reasonable. Mr. Tokito was also a programmer. With his skills, it would not be a problem for him to hack into the computer control program of Oki Yutaka. Moreover, his motives are also very strong."

"Is it really possible? But even if the temperature can be controlled, how did Mr. Ren kill the president back then?"

Chu Ming stroked his chin and offered a clue: "I read in the newspaper before that an elderly man who had been exposed to the sun walked into a coffee shop with the air conditioning on full blast, and his body temperature dropped instantly, causing him to have a heart attack. Could Mr. Tokito have murdered the president in the same way?"

"I see!" Conan suddenly realized, but quickly frowned again: "But this is just our guess, there is no evidence to prove that he did it."

Chu Ming watched as Conan, lost in thought, forgot to pretend to be a child again, and shook his head helplessly. If Conan weren't the protagonist, he would have been killed by Gin countless times. With that level of vigilance, if he didn't have the protagonist's halo, he would have been captured and used as a guinea pig in the organization's lab long ago.

"Conan is such a smart kid. Let Inspector Megure and Detective Mouri handle the evidence gathering. It's already amazing that you've thought of so many things." Chu Ming felt this episode was far-fetched. This episode was probably just filler. What if Tokito Komei didn't leave the procedure behind and wasn't convinced by Conan's words? You can't convict him based on just a couple of cat litter pieces.

However, since we need to build a good relationship with the police, let's try to steal Conan's job first.

Seeing Conan deep in thought, Chu Ming checked the shop and bought a 5-minute limited-time "Deafening" buff. The buff's effect is: Your words will shock the buff holder, causing them to think deeply about your words (ineffective against those with strong will).

In the story, Conan can get him to confess with just a few words, which shows that he is a kind person. With this buff, I am now the famous detective Fujino Chumei.

He turned and walked to the courtyard, stood next to Shi Ren, and with a slight movement of his fingers, applied a buff to him: "How does it feel to have avenged your great grudge?"

Shi Ren was startled: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"You know very well whether I'm lying or not. You should have kept the evidence yourself, right? Do you think the police can't find it? Computer programs are meant to improve people's lives, not to become tools for you to kill. Turn yourself in! You'll still be a hero when you get out."

Shi Ren gave a bitter smile and lowered his head: "Those few words were so simple, yet Mr. Fujino seemed to have spoken into my heart. I will turn myself in."

Conan, who had secretly come over to eavesdrop on their conversation, looked bewildered. "How long have I missed class? It's just a matter of being a step behind. How come the plot has jumped so fast in just two sentences? Didn't you tell me a second ago that you were going to find evidence? How come you've already made someone turn themselves in so quickly?"

Chapter 5 The Original Body's Memories

"Ah, hahaha, Fujino-kun, we really owe you a lot this time!" Inspector Megure patted Chu Ming on the shoulder with great satisfaction. Although Shinichi Kudo had recently disappeared, he still had a benefactor to help him.

"Not at all, Inspector Megure is too kind. It was mainly Detective Mouri who reminded me. If he hadn't discovered a series of suspicious points, I wouldn't have thought of these things."

Kogoro Mouri was suddenly called out, paused for a moment, then scratched his head and burst into laughter: "Huh? Oh, this is all I should do as a detective! Inspector Megure, you don't need to praise me, hahaha!"

After Inspector Megure took the person away, Chu Ming waved goodbye to Mori, who was immersed in the joy of solving the case unintentionally, and went home. He then opened the shop and redeemed the original owner's memories.

The original owner was born in a laboratory. His mother was a drug researcher for the Black Organization, and his father was in the weapons development team. Both of them were considered veterans within the organization. In addition, he had outstanding memory and insight from a young age, so he could be considered a minor leader among the organization's second-generation heirs when he was young.

But their good fortune didn't last long. When they were in junior high school, their parents, because of a leak of information while working undercover, were killed in a police raid. In an attempt to protect the organization's experimental data from being leaked, they detonated the entire laboratory, leaving no trace of their bodies.

The organization has been quite kind to the original owner. His parents died for the organization, and the boss has not treated him badly. He plans to send him to work as an intelligence agent under Rum, where the safety level is high.

However, the original owner did not agree. He wanted to avenge his parents and applied to go to the action group training camp. At that time, Gin had not yet become a top killer, but he was already a well-known codename member in the organization. The boss asked him to help train the original owner in his spare time.

Although the original owner was intelligent, he was terrible at hand-to-hand combat and firearms. In addition, Gin was skilled but not very good at teaching. His teaching method was to beat him up until he was lying on the ground unable to get up. When he couldn't get up, Gin would impatiently call him a piece of trash. After training like this for several months, the original owner's fighting skills were barely passable, but he would go into the training room upright and come out horizontally every few days. Finally, the boss called an emergency halt to the training.

Although the organization arranged for people to train the original owner, they did not abandon his innate talents. Because of his parents, the original owner deeply hated undercover agents and, with his superb insight and solid psychology skills, found several rats hiding within the organization. Among them, Morofushi Hiromitsu was the boss whom the original owner noticed something was wrong and reported, which is why the organization sent an undercover agent from the Public Security Bureau to investigate his identity.

The original owner of this body sensed something was wrong when Shuichi Akai ambushed Gin, but didn't tell Gin. He only told Rum that something might be amiss. The intention was to give Gin a taste of his own medicine, but Shuichi Akai escaped, angering the boss. The codename he was supposed to give was postponed, and he was punished by being sent to Gin's subordinates to train with the outer members to temper his temper. That was around the time the original owner was preparing for his college entrance exams, so Gin didn't assign him many missions. In the two years since, the original owner only started doing a few missions after entering the University of Tokyo.

Even so, the original owner of this body disliked Gin very much, but he couldn't beat Gin. So he came up with a crazy idea: he secretly wrote a cheesy novel with Gin as the main character. But what's the point of writing a novel with only himself? So he posted the novel on the organization's dark web.

Then there's Tanaka Ichiro. The original owner thought he was indeed a bit suspicious, which is why he was specifically paired with him for the mission. But he didn't expect Tanaka to act desperately. Having neglected training for the past two years, he couldn't react in time and was pushed aside. However, Tanaka Ichiro is probably not a police mole; he's likely sent by some yakuza group. After all, a police mole is unlikely to kill and frame someone out of fear of death.

After merging the memories, Chu Ming opened his eyes. He had merged with Fujino's memories and emotions, and now it felt as if Fujino's experiences over the past ten years were his own. Chu Ming was speechless. He had initially thought Fujino was just an ordinary cannon fodder for the brewery, but it turned out he was a second-generation gangster who had caught the boss's eye, though he hadn't been given a codename yet. He thought Gin would deal with him casually, but he actually had a brief master-disciple relationship with Gin and even dared to secretly write novels about Gin... If Gin found out, he wouldn't be killed, but he'd probably be crippled.

Chu Ming turned on his computer and found the original owner's hidden folder. Several documents came into view: "Take you into the unknown inner world of the big brother", "This killer is a bit cold", "The killer runs away with a gun"... The original owner relied on his self-taught computer skills, and the first article had already been anonymously serialized on the dark web with a hidden IP address. There were quite a few people urging him to update, so it seemed that the organization had been a bit idle lately.

I logged onto the dark web and the message notification showed 99+.

"This guy looks familiar. Could he be based on someone I know? No way, no way. The author is so bold. Be careful, Beretta might be pointing at you when you wake up in the middle of the night."

"So my brother is so troubled inside? I must take better care of him from now on!"

"Oh dear, I have to call someone over to take a look; he'll definitely be very interested in the author!"

"It's a pretty interesting story. I hope the author doesn't get caught and updates more while they're still alive."

……

Fortunately, Gin doesn't usually browse those strange sections of the dark web; he only looks at intelligence and missions. However, to prevent his loyal underlings from tipping him off and leaking secrets, he still needs to make some preparations.

Chu Ming opened the system interface and checked his current attributes. Because he had the original owner's memories, several of the original owner's skills had already merged with Chu Ming's own.

Name: Fujino Chuming (Chuming)

Age: 17 years old

积分：980点（60级以下200点积分可兑换1级，60-80级1000积分兑换1级，80-100级5000积分兑换1级，100级以上需先购买破境道具）

Skill: Fighting Level: A- (lv57) [Now you won't be easily crippled by Gin, you'll just be knocked down by him.]

Gun skill rating: B+ (lv48) [Slightly weaker than Kogoro Mouri's current level]

Sniper Rating: A (lv60) [Although it can't turn corners, it can still hit targets at 900 yards]

Computer Skill Level: B+ (lv49) [The Original's Gift]

Psychology Level: A+ (lv73) [The Original Body's Gift]

Insight Skill: A (lv68) [A gift from the original user]

Disguise Level: C (lv12) [Amazing Chinese makeup and head-changing techniques, but just ordinary in the world of Detective Conan]

Driving Level: C (lv16) [Can drive on the road, but don't even think about driving onto walls]

……

(Skills can be learned on your own or redeemed with points)

Chu Ming didn't continue looking at the next few skills. He still had 980 points left, enough to upgrade his computer skills and hide his true identity. If he "accidentally" let Gin see this novel later, Gin's emotional reaction would probably earn him a lot of points. You only reap what you sow, right?

Chu Ming spent 800 points to exchange for 4 skill levels and added them to his computer, instantly jumping from B+ (lv49) to A- (lv53). His mind was instantly filled with a lot of advanced computer knowledge. Chu Ming hid his IP even deeper and covered his real IP with a fake IP. He changed his name to Little Bird Vodka, since Vodka always seemed to dislike him.

After copying and pasting the next chapter of the novel from his computer to the intranet, Chu Ming logged off. Since he had nothing else to do and wouldn't be easily dealt with, it was time to go check on Tanaka Ichiro in the organization, since he was the mole he had discovered.

……

As soon as Chu Ming entered the base gate, he bumped into Gin, who exuded a murderous aura and was smoking a cigarette, and his personal driver Vodka. Chu Ming was stunned for a moment. When Gin saw him stop, Chu Ming also stopped and didn't move. The two stared at each other for a long time without either of them saying a word.

Vodka opened his mouth, intending to rebuke Fujino, but his intuition told him it was best not to speak. After thinking for a moment, he kept his mouth shut and maintained the silence.

After a long while, Chu Ming finally couldn't hold back. For the sake of a better source of points in the future, he hesitated for a long time before giving in and called out in a Vodka-like voice, "Big Brother..." After all, he had taught him fighting and shooting, so it was okay to call him that affectionately.

Gin's eyes flickered, and he snorted coldly: "I interrogated Tanaka yesterday. You spy for the Muddy Sand Association. Have you become so useless after not training for more than a year? Even a weak rat could hurt you. Don't mention the fighting I taught you when you leave. Tomorrow at 8 o'clock, wait for me in training room number 3."

Without waiting for Chu Ming's response, she stormed out the door.

He paused again after thinking for a moment: "Since you're free, Shirley's been asking to see her sister. Why don't you take her this afternoon?"

Vodka was clearly stunned for a while before catching up, his mind churning: he had only been following Gin for a year and didn't know much about the situation before that. How could a peripheral member like him have his boss teaching him fighting? Damn it, he didn't even get that kind of treatment!

Chapter 6 First Meeting with Sherry

The sudden, unexpected order left Chu Ming stunned at the gate. Damn it, will I even be able to walk straight home tomorrow morning? I'm going to complain to the boss!

Chu Ming walked angrily into the base. Now that Gin had been interrogated, there was no need for him to go see Tanaka Ichiro. He should go see the legendary Sherry instead.

Although both were second-generation members of the organization and their mothers worked in the same laboratory, Shirley had lived in the United States since childhood, and the two had never crossed paths.

In the biological research lab, Sherry sat coldly behind the lab table. Today was the day she was supposed to see her sister. She had been working like a prisoner at the organization's research institute all year round. Even though she was a code name member, she not only had to be on time to see her sister, but she was also being monitored. Gin was going on a mission, and she wondered when someone would be able to take her out.

The knocking interrupted Sherry's thoughts. She looked up and saw a handsome and unrestrained face. Chu Ming smiled and waved to Sherry, saying, "Hi, Miss Sherry, I'm Fujino Chu Ming. I'll take you out for some fresh air today."

"Gin sent you? Let's go then." Not wanting to talk to these people anymore, Sherry got up and prepared to leave.

She sent a message to her sister to arrange a time and place, then got up and followed Chu Ming out. The two took a taxi to the coffee shop where Shirley and her sister had agreed to meet.

"Shiho, over here." A gentle-looking woman with a pretty face waved to Sherry from the window.

Aside from the initial pleasantries upon entering the lab, the two hadn't spoken a word the entire way. Sherry had no desire to chat with anyone sent to monitor her, and had kept a cold expression, staring blankly out the car window the whole way. Now, seeing her sister, her icy demeanor finally melted, and she revealed a reserved yet sweet smile: "Sister~"

Shirley quickened her pace and walked over. Just as she was about to turn around and tell Chu Ming not to follow her for the time being, she found that Chu Ming was already sitting at the table near the door, looking at the menu and ordering drinks.

Shirley pursed her lips and sat down next to her sister, her eyes sparkling. Only in front of her sister did she truly act like a child, revealing a somewhat childlike side of herself.

Akemi Miyano glanced at Chu Ming at the door, somewhat surprised, and said, "Shiho, the member who brought you out today is actually not..." The person who brought Sherry out on Gin's orders before was practically glued to her and Sherry, afraid of being held accountable by Gin if anything went wrong. Why is this one so... relaxed today?
