“When did Mr. Himura go to Tokyo yesterday?”

“I already told you guys I went there when you were still having dinner, probably around five o’clock.”

“Have you ever come back halfway?” Chu Ming pressed on.

“no!”

Chu Ming opened his wallet again: “That’s strange. You left at five o’clock, so how come the invoice for the cigars purchased at seven-thirty was in your bag?”

Looking at the thin invoice held between Chu Ming’s fingertips, Himura Yosuke was completely out of excuses and fell to his knees with a thud.

“It’s all his fault—”

[The update activity ends ahead of schedule. Thank you all for your kindness in the past period of time. Bobo, I have to prepare for school and have a meeting tomorrow QAQ]

[After school starts, I will try to update once or twice a day~ There will be a final chapter tonight (●′З`●)]

Chapter 191 Why should I know the technique?

Before he could finish his howling, Chu Ming interrupted him.

“Don’t give me reasons. I don’t want to hear them. Officer Yokomizo, take the man away now.”

Just when Conan finished investigating the scene and came out with a frown on his face, he found that Officer Yokomizo was handcuffing Himura Yosuke and preparing to take him away.

?

What’s going on? Why did it fast forward again? Have you seen this scene before?

Conan had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when he asked the policeman next to him what was going on, the policeman told him that Chu Ming had already deduced the murderer and even found evidence!

Conan was shocked and asked about the modus operandi and motive of the case, but the police shook his head and told him that Chu Ming did not say.

Conan was just about to listen carefully to the modus operandi, but he got such an answer, and his heart was hanging in the air.

“Brother Chu Ming, you found the murderer, do you know what method he used?”

Conan ran to Chu Ming, pulled his clothes, and asked with confusion.

Chu Ming looked bewildered: “The evidence is there, and the murderer has confessed. Why should I know the method?”

Conan was choked by Chu Ming. He said that, but he only knew the murderer but not the method. He felt uncomfortable!

Chu Ming waved his hand and said, “Let’s go. Uncle said he would take us fishing. We’ll do it after we take the statement.”

Conan followed behind angrily. He still had a lot of puzzles to solve and his mind was in a mess.

It feels like when you are doing a particularly difficult math problem. You have just finished reading the question, have some thoughts, and are about to study it carefully, when your deskmate suddenly throws the answer in front of you.

There is only one answer, no process, no analysis, nothing. After giving the answer, they put the question away and started on the next one.

So frustrating!

He was still angry when he got into Mouri Kogoro’s car. He refused to sit next to Chu Ming and sat in the corner of the back seat, at least one and a half seats away from Chu Ming.

Chu Ming looked at Conan, who was standing beside him with his arms folded and his lips pouting, and felt that his face was saying: Come and comfort me.

But Chu Ming, this nasty adult, instead of coaxing him, took a photo of him looking like a puffer fish.

Conan turned around in disbelief: “Brother Chu Ming, you’re still taking pictures of me!”

Xiaolan, who was sitting in the front, was all smiles as she looked at the photo Chu Ming sent her: “Usually I saw Conan as a little adult, but I didn’t expect him to be so cute. Hahaha, he’s really cute~”

Conan was angry and embarrassed, and was about to say something to save his image, but suddenly Kogoro Mouri drove the car to some unknown place and the road was shaking violently.

Chu Ming quickly grabbed the handle above the back seat to steady himself, but Conan was having trouble. He had just sat in the corner out of spite, and now the car was shaking, and he bounced around in the car like a ball.

After the car finally stopped, Conan leaned forward angrily and said, “Uncle, did you take the wrong road again?”

Angry Conan

Chu Ming clapped silently in the back: “This is very spiritual again.”

Maori Kogoro turned a deaf ear and pretended to be dumb: “Oh, there’s an archery range ahead!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow shot towards the cab.

Chu Ming was quick to pull Conan back. An arrow shot in through the car window and bounced on the windshield, scaring Kogoro Mouri so much that he turned the steering wheel frantically.

After finally stopping the car, the woman on the hillside ran down quickly: “I’m sorry! I didn’t hit the target, are you okay?”

Maori Kogoro grabbed the arrow, opened the door and got out of the car, looking dissatisfied: “What are you doing?”

The woman took off her sunglasses and said with a look of surprise: “You are the famous detective Mr. Maori Kogoro, right?”

Kogoro Mori was originally furious, but when he saw the woman’s admiring face, his anger was immediately calmed down and he touched his head and laughed.

“Hahahaha, that’s right, you’re right, hahaha.”

“Mr. Maori, are you going to that mountain as well?”

……

Kogoro Mouri was having a great time chatting with the woman, and if Xiaolan hadn’t stopped him, he would even want to sit on the ground and talk about life with her.

When they arrived at the hotel on the mountain, they waited for a long time before the boss came out to help them check in. After registration, the boss enthusiastically recommended that everyone go to their hotel’s most famous garden restaurant for dinner.

But just as Chu Ming walked out the door, raindrops as big as beans suddenly fell from the sky.

“…” Several people went back with a lack of interest.

There was no other way, Xiaolan could only turn on the TV and watch the recently popular “Detective Mackerel Ban’ai”. Xiaolan was nervous as she watched the ups and downs of the plot, while Chu Ming took Conan to watch and complain about the reasoning loopholes in the plot.

Only Kogoro Mouri didn’t like this awkward plot, but he didn’t want to waste his time reasoning, so he muttered to himself on the sofa in boredom.

“What kind of famous detective is that? How can he be so lucky every time to find evidence…”

Chu Ming glanced at Conan, emmm…how could that be?

“I’m so sorry, I’m just lucky.” A man wearing a hat suddenly walked in. He took off his hat and made the same iconic gesture as Sabakuo Bannai on TV. “I’m City Hunter Sabakuo Bannai.”

“Eh? It’s him!” Xiaolan was the first to react. She stood up with excitement on her face.

Sunaoka Kazuyoshi, the actor who played Saburo Bannai, retracted his actions and said to Mouri Kogoro with a smile.

“You are the real detective Maori Kogoro, right? It’s an honor to meet you.”

Kogoro Mori no longer had the complaining look on his face. He held Sunaoka Kazuyoshi’s hand with a big smile on his face and started to flatter each other in a business way.

Chapter 192 Has he seen this scene before?

During dinner, Sunaoka Kazuyoshi drank until his face was flushed, and his mouth began to speak uncontrollably and spread hatred everywhere.

One moment he said that the screenwriters couldn’t write good scripts, the next moment he said that the producers were enriching themselves, and the next moment he even despised his agent, saying that he had already found another better job.

Chu Ming looked at him like this, and then thought about how he was publicly executed while drunk, and silently pushed the red wine in his hand away.

From now on, he will never drink alcohol again!

After all, drunk people who have no strength are more likely to die, while those who have strength will die.

Tanikawa Noe couldn’t stand it anymore. She stepped forward and pulled Sunaoka Kazuyoshi up in a tough manner: “You are drunk. I will take you to rest.”

After the two men left, Mouri Kogoro shook the empty bottle and was about to say something, but Denen Toshiaki was no longer as gloomy as before, and enthusiastically offered to help Mouri Kogoro get the wine.

Hmm? If he is being nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. There is something wrong with him.

Chu Ming looked at his back as he pushed the door and left, then lowered his head and took a sip of juice.

What’s wrong with him?

Sure enough, not long after Tian Yuan Liming left, Chu Ming absorbed a ray of magnetic field. Judging from the performance of the few people who just left, the one who died should be the big star, right?

Suddenly, Kogoro Mouri received a call: “Ah, Mr. Sunaoka, what’s the matter? Hey——”

Chu Ming looked upstairs, then looked at Maori Kogoro: “Is it Mr. Sunaoka who called?”

“Yeah, he invited me to his room to discuss a detective script. Tsk, he hung up all of a sudden. What a shame.”

As they were chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard a gunshot, which was obviously coming from the other side of the mountain.

Chu Ming stood at the railing of the garden restaurant and looked into the distance. Although it was pitch dark, his vision was still clear.

——There was no one on the opposite side.

Tanikawa Noe stood on the balcony, wiping her hair while asking, “What happened? I seemed to hear gunshots?”

“Yeah, I wonder who would be hunting in the valley this late?”

Tanikawa Noe nodded: “Sunaoka is always a sound sleeper, he can’t hear such a loud noise – Sunaoka, there’s a hole in Sunaoka’s window!”

She looked at the hole in the window that looked like it was made by a bullet, and thought of the gunshot just now, and her face turned pale with fright.

Conan hurried to the service desk at the door to get the spare key and handed it to Kogoro Mouri, and they hurried upstairs.

Chu Ming followed him around the scene and his eyes stopped on Tian Yuan Liming at the door.

He had just followed a few people behind him and heard a strange sound coming from Tian Yuan Liming’s shoes, which was very – unpleasant.

It was the sound of a sharp object scratching the floor. The noise was very small, and if Chu Ming didn’t have sensitive ears, he would hardly be able to hear it.

“Ah—Mr. Mori!!!” Officer Yokomizo brought people over again, “After such a long time, we meet again hahahahaha…”

“Officer Yokomizo, I have secured the scene and no unrelated personnel have been allowed in.”

Conan looked at the valley opposite and ran out directly to look for clues.

Xiaolan was worried, so she hurried over to take a look.

“Mr. Maori, are you saying that the murderer was most likely shot from the opposite valley? Then we should now–“

“Officer Yokomizo, I know who the murderer is.” Chu Ming yawned and leaned against the door.

“What? Mr. Chu Ming, you already know that? Is it true that staying with Mr. Maori for a long time will make you very sensitive?” Officer Yokomizo seemed to be thinking about something.

“The murderer is Mr. Tian Yuan Liming.”

“What?” Everyone’s eyes turned to him.

Nagatsuka Katsuaki couldn’t help but defend him: “But the gunshots clearly came from the opposite valley, right?”
