Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

A few leaves were swept up by the night wind at Chu Ming's feet. Chu Ming looked around but saw nothing.

"Brother Chu Ming, where's Uncle?" Conan ran over at this moment, with Mikami Reirin and Ran following behind him.

Chu Ming shook his head: "I had just come out when I could no longer see them."

Suddenly, the bell on the port platform started ringing.

"What's that sound?" Conan turned his head to look in that direction.

Mikami Reirin had been running a long way with Conan and was now panting heavily.

"That's... the bell at the village entrance, it's only rung when something important happens."

Conan frowned: "It can't be Uncle—"

He ran quickly toward the crowd, with Chu Ming and Xiao Lan close behind.

"Is that the Dragon God Ship?" The crowd had gathered at the very spot where the wrecked Dragon God Ship was kept in the village.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri was also dragged out. He was sweating profusely and kept explaining.

"Let me go! I've already said it wasn't me! There must be some misunderstanding here!!"

Chapter 162 None of You Can Escape

Takeo Mikami arrived at that moment: "What's going on? Why did the bell suddenly ring?"

A villager, filled with righteous indignation, reported to Mikami: "Village chief, that Mori detective has killed Hamada, the lighthouse keeper!"

"what?"

"Impossible!" Conan was the first to jump up and object.

"Go and see for yourself if you don't believe me!"

"How do you know Uncle Mori killed the man? Did you see it?"

Chu Ming had already gone into the scene while they were chattering, and now he poked his head out to ask questions.

"When I heard the noise and came after them, Hamada was already dead, and the detective was lying there unconscious!" said the guard who was detaining Kogoro Mouri.

The village chief, his face radiating righteous indignation, declared: "Detective Mori, since you committed murder, even if you are a world-renowned detective, I cannot let you go—"

Chu Ming rolled his eyes: "Stop talking nonsense. You haven't even seen it with your own eyes, yet you're making a fuss about the uncle being the murderer. You're distorting the facts. Do you believe I'll sue you for defamation? What if the real murderer is trying to frame the uncle? Otherwise, why would the uncle kill someone and not run away, but just faint at the scene? Is he stupid?"

The guard was speechless: "That...that might be Hamada. He...he fought back before he died, that's why the detective fainted—"

"Do you know why Uncle Mori ran out in the middle of the night? It's because this armored man sneaked into Uncle Mori's room in the middle of the night, raised his knife, and was about to kill Uncle Mori. If it really was Uncle Mori who killed him, then he was acting in self-defense, at most it would be considered excessive self-defense."

Chu Ming paused, glanced at everyone's expressions, and continued, "The uncle's wife is the renowned Eri Kisaki, known as the Queen of the Legal World. It's just excessive self-defense. Do you think the uncle will be in trouble? But you might not be so sure. He was forcibly detained before the case was even clear, and he even slandered Uncle Mori's reputation..."

The guard nervously wiped his sweat, and the people around him were also startled by what Chu Ming had said.

Conan breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Ming had brought the situation under control, but—

Why portray Attorney Fei as a heartless lawyer or a lawless outlaw...?

He walked over to the body and examined it carefully, then ran into the cabin and explored it thoroughly.

At this moment, Chu Ming's verbal sparring was coming to an end. Seeing Conan emerge from the cabin with a relaxed expression, he knew that Conan already knew the truth.

"...Then none of you will escape! As for the truth, I won't bother telling you. Conan, come here—"

Chu Ming abruptly ended the story by summoning Conan and pretending to whisper something in his ear.

"Judging from your expression, do you already know the truth? Just tell me directly, say that I told you, don't try to fool the old man, I just made that boast."

Conan squinted, looking smug: "You know? Didn't you say your uncle was wise beyond his years and had the Mao's method of elimination? If you want me to cover for you, fine, but delete the photos you took yesterday morning."

Chu Ming deftly opened the photo album in front of Conan and deleted the photos.

Tch, it's just a piece of dark history, he doesn't care at all. You can get as much of that kind of thing as you want if you pay attention in life.

Conan raised his head contentedly, looking innocent and adorable: "Yes, yes, okay, Brother Chu Ming, I understand!"

He ran up to the group and said, "Brother Chu Ming said there was a pool of blood in the machine room, that's the original crime scene, and the blood has dried. If Uncle Mori killed him, the time of death should have been within thirty minutes! And blood takes at least three or four hours to dry! The person who attacked Uncle Mori wasn't Hamada, but the murderer. After killing Hamada, he went to find Uncle Mori and deliberately lured him to this place! And the murderer killed Hamada because…"

After explaining his reasoning, Conan raised his childish face and said, "Was my explanation correct, Brother Chu Ming?"

Chu Ming nodded with feigned seriousness: "No problem. Look, even a first-grader can clearly explain something, yet you bunch of idiots are completely fooled."

"But...but there aren't any people like that on our island! Everyone wants to find gold nuggets, but no one will kill anyone!"

"I know, it's that outsider! Uehara Yasuo, who disembarked with Mr. Mori! It must be him!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"And another possibility is that the young man who said a large ship had temporarily docked on the island yesterday afternoon and needed temporary supplies because of a problem with the ship?"

"That's impossible. When he arrived, Mr. Mori already had his butt burned by fire."

……

young people?

Conan and Chu Ming exchanged a glance; this was very likely Matsutake Yusuke.

"Alright, let's go to the inn and ask about Uehara Yasuo!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Kinoshita Goro quickly stopped everyone: "Wait, everyone, wait! We don't have any clear evidence to prove that Mr. Uehara is the murderer. How about this, you all wait outside the hotel while I go in and ask around. That way, we won't wrongly accuse an innocent person. If he really is the murderer, you all wait outside the hotel, and if there's any noise, swarm him and grab him. What do you say?"

The island's guards were the first to respond. After all, the island had been peaceful and quiet for many years, and the most difficult cases they had ever handled were just thefts. Who would have thought that one day they would be facing a murderer?

Five minutes later, a gunshot rang out inside the hotel.

The people standing outside the door were shocked and rushed into the room.

At that moment, Kinoshita Goro was clutching his arm tightly: "He, he suddenly pulled out a gun and shot me, then ran away through the window!"

Chu Ming's gaze swept over his arm; there were black scorch marks where the clothes were torn, and only a faint scratch on his arm.

That's it?

Instead of rushing you to the hospital for this wound that's almost healed, you're rolling around on the ground like you're about to die.

Chu Ming stepped over him and walked straight to the window.

In the woods below, only Yasuo Uehara could be seen running away.

"Quick, go after him!" The village guards all chased after him in the direction he had fled.

Conan turned and ran towards the Navy cave. If there was any place here where Uehara could hide, it would be the Navy cave that the island's inhabitants feared.

Chapter 163 I Bet Your Gun Is Empty (Bonus Chapter 1)

At the entrance to the cave, several village security guards pushed and shoved each other, none of them wanting to go in.

Conan secretly hid in the nearby bushes, looking at the guards at the cave entrance with some worry.

If he were to rush out, they definitely wouldn't let a little kid like him go in.

This is how to do?

Mikami Reirin quietly hid behind Conan and poked him, startling the engrossed Conan in his thoughts.

“I have a way to get you in~” Mikami Reirin proudly raised her head.

"What's the solution?" Conan stood up excitedly.

Reirin Mikami put her hands on her hips and turned her head away arrogantly: "What? Is this how you ask for a favor?"

Conan had no choice but to lower himself: "Please, please~"

Mikami Reirin complained, "That's it?"

"Then what else do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Mikami Reirin gave a shy smile and tapped her lips with her finger: "Hey, mua~"

After saying that, she closed her eyes, pouted, and waited patiently.

Conan was shocked, his face turning red: "W-What?! What are you thinking?!"

Mikami Reirin turned around in disappointment, pointing to her cheek: "This will do too, come on."

Chu Ming watched the show with amusement from behind a tree. He saw Conan look left and right to make sure no one was around before he pouted and quickly kissed her on the cheek.

'Crack--'

Conan, who was about to ask for directions, turned green when he heard that familiar voice.

"Brother Chu Ming!!!"

Chu Ming peeked out from behind the tree and waved to Conan and Mikami Reirin.

"What a coincidence, you're here too!"

"What a coincidence!" Conan quickly ran to Chu Ming's side, grabbing his hand to snatch the phone: "Brother Chu Ming, delete it quickly—"

Chu Ming held his phone high, revealing a smug smile, just like Conan's at that moment.

"No way! Not only will I not delete it, I'll print out the photos and send a copy to Ms. Mori—oh, I mean, Ms. Mori! She'll definitely be happy!"
