Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

After a heartfelt performance by Professor Agasa and the five members of the Junior Detective League, Furuhashi finally confessed in the face of the evidence.

After the case was closed, Inspector Megure arranged to give statements to them over the weekend and then left.

"Since we can't watch the movie, why don't we go to Dr. Agasa's house and play cards? We can't waste this half-day off," Conan suggested, turning his head.

"Okay~" The children agreed excitedly—then they all squeezed into Professor Agasa's car, pulling Ai Haibara along with them. In the blink of an eye, only Conan and Chu Ming were left on the scene.

"Looks like you'll have to ride in my car, you suspicious little detective."

"What do you mean by being paranoid? I just have a little doubt. As Sherlock Holmes said, emotions can cloud reason, so I can't give up on pursuing the truth just because we're close to each other!"

Conan couldn't help but mutter a few words; he was making bold assumptions but carefully verifying them.

----------

Chu Ming sat on the sofa, watching Conan blend seamlessly among the children, using his keen observation skills to win first place in the turtle-touching card game.

He looked down at Conan, who was smiling particularly happily. Once it got to the later stages, Conan would receive all the resources the Red Team had poured into him: the Public Security Bureau, the CIA, the FBI, MI6... plus Conan, the protagonist with a halo, the Red Team's strength would be unprecedented.

On the organization's side, apart from Gin, Vodka, and Rum, who were the only loyal members, almost everyone else who appeared was a traitor.

Unfortunately, Chu Ming is someone who's naturally inclined to take on high-difficulty challenges. And someone as reckless as him is better suited to the Black Team. After all, he's in his second life and won't die; it would be a waste not to cause trouble!

I really want to see the day he becomes the organization's boss, standing before Conan with Gin and the others, and tells Conan that he's actually the organization's leader he's been investigating all along—that emotional level...

Hehehe (?ω?)

Chapter 140 Disk

"Brother Chu Ming, what are you laughing at? It's so... lewd!" Conan leaned closer.

Chu Ming pushed his head away and lay down on the table: "I'm thinking about happy things."

Conan also poked his head in: "What's so happy about it?"

Chu Ming casually tossed the newspaper next to him onto Conan's face: "When you have nothing to do, you should learn from Ai and read books and newspapers to cultivate your mind. Don't worry about adult matters."

Conan ripped the newspaper off his face and glanced at it: "The owner of the French restaurant in Beihu Town was murdered after a burglary?"

Mitsuhiko put down the cards and replied, "Yes, it's a restaurant called l'escargot."

"This shop's name is really weird," Genta couldn't help but complain. "It doesn't make any sense at all—"

Conan, the science communicator, is back online: "Escargot simply means snail. It's an edible snail that's frequently used in French cuisine."

"Ugh, eating snails? How disgusting! How about we make them into a rice bowl? What do you think, Ayumi?" Genta's face was full of disgust as he turned to Ayumi for support.

Ayumi suddenly coughed twice, her voice a little hoarse: "The air conditioning in the movie theater was too cold, and I fell asleep during the movie. Now I think I have a bit of a cold."

Chu Ming casually touched her forehead: "It's a little hot, you probably have a fever. I'll take you home."

He stood up, and Genta and Mitsuhiko beside him were looking at Ayumi with eyes that said, "May you be safe."

Ayumi panicked and instinctively looked at Professor Agasa.

Professor Agasa couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Chu Ming, I'll take her home, you take Conan and the others home."

Chu Ming nodded indifferently: "Okay."

Now it was Genta and Mitsuhiko's turn to turn into quails.

After dropping everyone off, Chu Ming turned his car around and went home himself.

It wasn't too late, so he decided to go to his safe house for a stroll.

Gin selected three safe houses for him, one of which was near Beika Town.

Upon reaching the door, Chu Ming was surprised to find that the door lock actually had iris recognition technology!

This kind of technology already existed in this day and age?

Chu Ming strolled around for a while. Although it was called a safe house, it could actually be considered a detached villa.

However, the materials used for the walls, windows, and doors are bulletproof and explosion-proof, making them indestructible.

It has everything you need inside: medicines, supplies, and weapons are all neatly arranged in the warehouse. The basement is a miniature version of the base training ground. Overall, it's not much different from Gin's safe house last time.

There was even a small laboratory inside, but unfortunately, he didn't need it.

Chu Ming strolled around contentedly, lay down on the bed, and decided that he would stay inside for the time being and not go out.

Three poles in the sun.

Chu Ming was awakened by an annoying phone call.

"You'd better have something come up, or I'll—"

"Brother Chu Ming, something terrible has happened! Ayumi is in trouble! A thief broke into her house! She might be killed!"

"Is there really such a good thing? Don't worry, send me the address and I'll go right away."

"I just pretended to be Professor Agasa and called Ayumi's house, saying there's five million yen to be repaid. The kidnappers are probably still at her house right now. I'll send you the address!"

Chu Ming picked up Conan on the way and sped towards Ayumi's house.

"This building... is quite luxurious. I didn't expect the Ayumi family to be so rich, tsk tsk."

Chu Ming stood downstairs, clicking his tongue in admiration.

"After all, Teitan Elementary School is considered a prestigious school, so it's normal for people to live here."

Conan pulled Chu Ming towards the elevator.

"This is it. I'll knock on the door first, and the moment it opens, you rush in and beat him up, Brother Chu Ming!" Conan waved his fist.

As soon as the door opened, Chu Ming took a running start and kicked the door from the elevator entrance. The door and the thug slammed hard into the ground. The thug rolled his eyes and immediately passed out.

Conan reached out Er Kang's hand: "There's no need to be so violent—"

When Chu Ming saw Conan reach out his hand, he turned around and gave him a high five.

(*^o^) person (?_?)

"Ugh, basic stuff, don't be so smug. This kind of petty thief isn't even worth a kick from me, what's there to celebrate?"

Conan's hand went numb from the slap, and he hissed as he quickly pulled his hand back. Who wanted to high-five you!

He ran in and saw Ayumi in the bedroom with her hands and feet tied up and her mouth taped shut. He quickly went over and untied her.

“Conan…Wow, I thought…I thought…” Ayumi, with tears in her eyes, hugged Conan and cried her heart out.

Chu Ming looked at Conan, who was caught in the hug and seemed at a loss, and clicked his tongue in admiration. He had seen it himself; when they went to watch the movie yesterday, Ayumi and Ai Haibara were both leaning on Conan. He had already taken a picture with the system!

Once your identity is revealed, hmph, I want to see Xiaolan beat you to death.

Conan suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He turned around and saw that the kidnapper had woken up and was looking at him with a face full of resentment.

Conan didn't take it seriously. Many criminals had that look in their eyes when they were arrested. As a qualified detective, how could he be afraid of such a threatening look?

Soon, Takagi arrived and took the robber away. Ayumi's mother also rushed back and thanked Chu Ming and Conan profusely.

After leaving the house, Takagi turned around and asked them to give a statement over the weekend.

"Looks like this weekend's going to be busy." Chu Ming glanced at Conan. "The blue castle, the movie theater, and today's burglary case... so annoying, maybe—"

"No way!" Conan knew Chu Ming was trying to sneak away. "Brother Chu Ming, please come with us! We can go out after we finish our statements this weekend. Uncle Mori said he's taking us to the amusement park. Brother Chu Ming, why don't you come too?"

Conan clung to Chu Ming's legs with both hands: "Go on, Chu Ming, Uncle Mori's treating!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go. Let my legs go. We're on the street, so be mindful of your behavior."

It was getting late, so Chu Ming didn't take Conan back to school. Instead, he took him directly back to the detective agency.

Chu Ming politely declined Kogoro Mouri's invitation to stay for dinner and left after sitting for a while.

——————————————————————————————

"disk?"

Chu Ming propped his legs up on the sofa and lay back while answering the phone.

"Yes, the disk containing Mihua Construction's ledgers was stolen. It contained bribes to politicians and their underground transactions. There are several records of transactions with organizations. If it gets handed over to the police, it will cause trouble. I'm asking you to find a way to destroy it."

"Oh, so where is the hard drive now?" Chu Ming swung his leg.

“It was taken away by an old employee of Beika Construction. His company sent people to chase after it, but the old man didn’t have it on him. I guess he handed it over to someone else on the bus. The words Shitara and Ran Mouri were left on the bus window.”

"Ran Mouri?" Chu Ming was somewhat surprised.

"You know him?" Gin, who was also listening to the phone call, asked.

"Yes, she's the daughter of that famous detective who's recently become famous. We're quite close; I hear a lot of news about her from him."

Gin nodded: "That's for the best. Keep an eye on them. If they've already looked at the disk, kill them."

"it is good."
