It seemed like there were three more magnetic fields waiting for him.

Great! V(^-^)V

——–

After hanging around in the base for a few days, Chu Ming finally remembered that he had a mission and was about to go out when he received a call from Xiaolan.

“Xiaolan, what’s the matter?”

“Brother Chu Ming, where are you?” Xiaolan’s voice came with some anxiety.

“I’m at the company, just about to go home, what’s the matter?”

“You are in danger now. Shall we go find you now?”

???

Chu Ming looked around and found that there was no one in the base except Gin Vermouth and Vodka.

The base is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is filled with traps. What danger could there be?

Wait – they’re coming to me? To the base?

Chu Ming quickly stopped him: “It’s okay, I was just about to go home, what’s wrong, is there anything, are you in the office, I’ll go to the office to find you.”

“Okay, Brother Chu Ming, see you later.”

Chu Ming felt a little strange and drove hurriedly to the Maori Detective Agency.

As soon as I entered the door, Xiaolan dropped a bomb.

“You mean, someone is hurting the people around Uncle Maori according to the order of the playing cards? But there are no numbers in my name?”

“Yes, there are two tens in the word Chu in Chu Ming’s name, and there is also a ten in Ye in Fujino’s name, so this ten must be referring to Brother Chu Ming.” There was a lingering sadness between Xiaolan’s brows.

“It doesn’t matter even if it’s me. It’s bad luck for the murderer to meet me.” Chu Ming waved his hands and didn’t take it to heart.

Conan nodded in agreement. What he said was so true. He looked at Xiaolan with some worry. Xiaolan has been depressed ever since she found out yesterday that the uncle resigned from the police station because he accidentally shot Hime Eri.

Looking at Chu Ming who was sitting next to him, Conan suddenly looked up and asked him: “Brother Chu Ming, if a person was kidnapped and another person shot her leg to save her, what do you think was the reason?”

“Ah?” Chu Ming was stunned by the question, “To make the criminals leave him behind.”

Xiaolan became more alert: “Why would the criminals leave people behind?”

Chu Ming brought Conan over to demonstrate: “Look, usually when I walk with a hostage, under my coercion, is he forced to follow me? But if his leg is injured and he can’t even stand, and I have to drag him along, then he will become a burden, and I will have no choice but to abandon the hostage.”

Xiaolan got the answer, and the light in her eyes gradually returned. So that’s how it is! It must be like this!

She knew that there was still affection between her father and mother!

Seeing Xiaolan recover, Conan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 218 Crash

Chu Ming remembered that the person who truly represented Ten in the plot was an athlete, and he was also the person the murderer really wanted to kill.

If Conan hadn’t stopped him, the plane would have crashed and been smashed to pieces.

The explosion of the plane could not leave him any magnetic field at all, so it would be better to rescue people with Conan and gain some reputation.

So Chu Ming kicked Conan and pointed at the autographed poster of Hiroki Tsuji on the table: “Isn’t there a ten in that person’s name? It’s more obvious than mine. The one that was taken out of my name is too far-fetched.”

Xiaolan quickly picked up the phone and called Hiroki Tsuji, but it was his maid who answered the call, saying that Hiroki Tsuji had already gone to the helicopter airport half an hour ago.

Xiaolan called Officer Megure again, and then the few of them hurried to the helicopter airport in Chu Ming’s car.

When Chu Ming arrived, Hiroki Tsuji had already been stopped by Inspector Megure and others, but Hiroki Tsuji said that he did not believe in evil and that he had to do what he wanted to do, and he had to fly this helicopter today!

——He even invited Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori to sit together, and Inspector Megure actually agreed…

? ? ? ?

Chu Ming looked at this miraculous development. He might be attacked at any time? Even if it was difficult to attack because he was flying a helicopter in the sky, couldn’t they attack the helicopter or some of its parts?

Why are you so confident in boarding this helicopter? What if the murderer tinkers with a part of the helicopter and makes it loose?

Chu Ming took a helmet from the side and put it on Conan’s head, then pushed him onto the helicopter: “I remember you learned to fly a helicopter in Hawaii, so remember to take charge if there’s any problem.”

Conan grabbed him and said, “Brother Chu Ming, why don’t you come up?”

“?” Chu Ming looked innocent, “Why would I go up there? You are enough for me.”

Conan smiled innocently, but he suddenly exerted force with his hands to pull the person up.

——Chu Ming didn’t move at all.

“Hurry up and go up, otherwise you won’t be able to go up when Inspector Megure and the others come to their senses.” Looking at Conan whose face turned red due to exerting too much effort, Chu Ming couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Please, Brother Chu Ming, I’m scared to be alone~” Conan pinched his throat and spoke in a soft voice, giving Chu Ming goose bumps all over his body.

In the end, Conan successfully disgusted Chu Ming on the plane with his shamelessness.

When Kogoro Mouri was sitting on the helicopter with a pale face, Chu Ming and Conan stuck their heads out from the empty space in the front seats and laughed at him.

“What’s wrong with you two? Shouldn’t you be downstairs with Xiaolan?” Mouri Kogoro looked at Chu Ming with a blaming look, as if to ask if Conan had led him astray.

Chu Ming had an innocent look on his face, but his hands were frantically poking Conan where Kogoro Mouri couldn’t see, signaling him to get away with it.

“I haven’t ridden a real helicopter yet, I’m just curious~” Conan lived up to Chu Ming’s expectations and blinked his eyes and acted pitifully to Inspector Megure.

“…” Officer Megure seemed to be touched by Conan, and his nervous expression subsided a little, “Then you should be careful, Chu Ming, hold Conan tightly, don’t let him fall.”

Chu Ming nodded and held Conan, who had leaned backwards, on his lap.

Maori Kogoro held the seat tightly, and his inner panic made him yell at Conan: “Conan! If you make trouble, I will throw you off – ah -“

The plane dived downward, and Kogoro Maori was so scared that he didn’t say a word and just shouted with his eyes closed.

Hiroki Tsuji took his hand off the steering wheel and winked at Conan. Chu Ming looked at Kogoro Mouri who was screaming heartbreakingly in the back and couldn’t help but cross himself in his heart. How miserable.

The helicopter just flew over Mihua, and the clouds in the sky were gradually dispersing. Hiroki Tsuji suddenly put his hands up to cover his eyes: “Ah——!!”

The plane shook violently. Officer Megure grabbed the handle and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong, Mr. Hiroki?”

“My eyes, I can’t open my eyes!”

Inspector Megure and Maori Kogoro hugged each other: “Brother Maori, um – can you fly a plane?”

Maori Kogoro huddled in the arms of Inspector Megure, weak, pitiful and helpless: “I don’t even dare to open my eyes, how can I possibly open something like this!!”

Seeing that the plane was drifting to the right, Conan gritted his teeth and prepared to get off Chu Ming, whispering: “Brother Chu Ming, let -“

“Forget it, your legs are too short, let me do it.”

Chu Ming unbuckled the seat belt with one hand and put Conan on the chair, and with the other hand he pushed Hiroki Tsuji to the back seat.

“Chu Ming?” Inspector Megure took the man over subconsciously, “What are you doing——”

Gin had just taken him to fly an AH64 Apache attack helicopter a few days ago, so he thought it should be not much different: “I can fly, but I don’t know where to park. Conan, help me see if there is a suitable place for emergency landing nearby.”

Conan jumped off his seat and stood on tiptoe to observe outside: “Brother Chu Ming, is the school playground okay? Teitan Elementary School is in front.”

“Of course you can, but there are too many people on the playground and it’s easy for something to go wrong.” Chu Ming skillfully controlled the helicopter.

Conan pulled out his detective badge from his side: “Brother Chu Ming, drive down a little, I’ll contact Yuan Tai and the others to disperse the crowd.”

“Let them not cause panic and lead to a stampede.”

“Yuan Tai – Yuan Tai – can you hear me? Quickly disperse the crowd on the playground. Brother Chu Ming wants to make an emergency landing on the playground by helicopter.”

When the children from the Junior Detective Team heard Chu Ming’s name, they looked at each other, raised their heads stiffly and looked at the helicopter with a clear target, and screamed in fear.

“Hurry, run! The helicopter driven by the big devil is about to crash—”

In just a few dozen seconds, the playground had gone from bustling with noise to complete silence…

Chapter 219 Crow’s Mouth

Chu Ming heard the roar coming from Conan’s detective badge and couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

What a crow’s mouth, what a plane crash, bah bah bah, children’s words should not be taken lightly!

Chu Ming stepped hard on the pedals and controlled the joystick at the same time, but the school playground was not a professional helipad after all. There were too many buildings around it. The downdraft caused by the descent of the plane made the entire helicopter shake constantly. At the moment of landing, the airflow lifted the plane up and then dropped it down, and the entire wing and tail hit the ground.

The helicopter bounced twice on the ground like a dying fish. Chu Ming opened the door of the helicopter and jumped out with Conan. Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri also helped Hiroki Tsuji out.

“Brother Chu Ming, uncle, let’s go, the fuel is leaking!” Conan turned around inadvertently and found that the oil had leaked all over the ground.

Chu Ming’s pupils shrank slightly, and without thinking, he just ran forward with Conan in his arms.

The entire plane exploded, and the glass on the surrounding buildings was shattered by the aftermath of the explosion.

Chu Ming held Conan and stood in a safe place, looking at Teitan Elementary School which was like a tornado, and then looking at Conan who was lying obediently in his arms.

Is this the legendary “I’m going to blow up the school”? Conan helps all the children realize their childhood dreams!

Looking at the children who slowly gathered around him, their faces were full of joy, without any sadness about the school bombing. After all, the principal took it all on his own.

——And Hiroki Tsuji.

He looked a little sad: “This helicopter is very expensive. Just the wing maintenance alone costs me tens of millions a year…”

Officer Megure comforted him halfheartedly: “At least your life is saved. Isn’t that more valuable than any number of helicopters?”

Officer Shiratori quickly arrived at the scene with an ambulance, took Hiroki Tsuji to the hospital, and took away his eye drops.

“Conan, how did you get off the helicopter? Is it fun to ride a helicopter?”

Yuanta pulled Conan over and whispered.

“Yes, yes, Conan is too cunning. He didn’t even call us when something like this happened. This is a helicopter. Have you ever touched the cockpit?” Mitsuhiko’s eyes lit up.

……

Conan was being pestered by several children, with a smug and boastful smile on his face, looking no different from a child of seven or eight years old.

If he had acted like a child in front of Vermouth that day, Vermouth wouldn’t have been able to spot the flaw.

After returning to the ground, Kogoro Mouri was still in shock. He grabbed Inspector Megure’s hand, choking with silence, and it took him a long time to recover.

In the end, Chu Ming took all the adults and children to the hospital, otherwise they would have stood on the playground forever.

The police have found out that someone deliberately replaced Hiroki Tsuji’s eye drops with pupil dilating agents. Although Chu Ming is not sure why someone would go to such lengths if they really wanted to kill someone, such as placing a bomb on a helicopter, anyone who goes up there today will be killed.
