“No, no, hurry up, let’s go back and rest!”

Kogoro Maori didn’t bother to settle the score with Chu Ming and pushed a few people towards the room.

“Chu Ming, you are going too far!”

“That’s right, Brother Chu Ming, I couldn’t fall asleep because I was scared by you!”

Xiaolan looked at the two people who were mumbling to each other and curled her lips: “What? You two are obviously scared too, but you only know how to talk about me…”

…………

——————

Early the next morning, Chu Ming got up and packed his things. He looked at the dark circles under the eyes of the other three people, full of innocence.

“Hmm? You didn’t sleep well last night~”

Maori Kogoro felt his fist harden: “Who do you think it’s because of?”

“(⊙o⊙)…Because of Abbot Tenyong? He told you a horror story that scared you all so much that you couldn’t sleep?”

Conan couldn’t help it any longer. He raised his head and gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: “Brother Chu Ming, it is important for people to know themselves, but you don’t, so you are not a human being, right?”

“Yes, I am a little monster, free and easy, killing people without blinking an eye, eating human flesh without adding salt–” Chu Ming subconsciously interrupted.

“…” Conan shut up helplessly. He could never win an argument with a faceless person.

After Xiaolan packed her things, she came to urge the others: “Have you packed your things? We can leave after breakfast.”

Chu Ming nodded, and Xiu Nian came over and opened the door: “Dear guests, breakfast is ready.”

After saying that, he yawned, and the yawn seemed to be contagious, one after another. Soon, everyone in the room, except Chu Ming, was yawning violently.

In order to fit in, Chu Ming also opened his mouth and typed awkwardly.

When he arrived at the restaurant, only the host and Kuan Nian, who was supposed to call him for dinner, had not arrived yet.

“Ah——” There was another scream.

Conan suddenly became alert, not caring about his sleepiness at all, and went straight to the place where the sound came from.

When I pushed open the door of the practice house, I saw Kuan Nian sitting on the ground, looking at the beams with a frightened look on his face, his whole body huddled into a ball.

Chu Ming raised his head and looked upwards, and the person hanging on the beam was none other than Abbot Tianyong.

Great, I save on accommodation fees.

Chapter 196 I Never Joke

Inspector Megure was explaining to Kogoro Mouri about a murder that had occurred here before, saying that a few years ago a loyal monk was hanged there in the same way.

As they talked, everyone began to think that all this was Abbot Tianyong’s suicide, and that he was using his life to attract business for the temple, and they spontaneously went around looking for a suicide note.

When Conan came back from wandering around the scene looking for clues as usual, he found that there was no one in the room again. Only Chu Ming was left squatting at the door with his hands in his pockets like an old farmer.

“Brother Chu Ming, do you know who the murderer is?” Conan asked with great bitterness, because Brother Chu Ming had obviously not gone out to look for clues.

Chu Ming maintained his posture and nodded. He discovered it when Xiunian just said inadvertently that he chanted scriptures until midnight, but didn’t hear anything unusual at night.

Conan’s hair drooped in disappointment, and the evidence wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand fell down: “You are too fast…”

Chu understood him at a glance: “Don’t say that casually.”

“……?” Conan looked confused.

“Inspector Megure and the others said that Abbot Tennaga might have committed suicide and they have already gone to look for a suicide note.” Chu Ming did not give him any general information, but patted his head and changed the subject.

“Suicide note? But Abbot Tianyong didn’t commit suicide!” Conan was a little anxious, “Brother Chu Ming, didn’t you tell them? Don’t you know who the murderer is?”

“Does this donor know who the murderer is?” Xiu Nian appeared from nowhere and asked Chu Ming with a smile.

Conan was startled by his sudden appearance and clenched the evidence wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand.

Chu Ming glanced at him calmly: “Yeah, it’s you.”

“?” Xiu Nian was surprised and laughed awkwardly to cover up her gaffe. “This donor is really good at joking.”

“Are you kidding?” Chu Ming changed his posture, “I never joke with murderers.”

Officer Megure and his companions, who had found nothing, came back at some point. Upon hearing this, Officer Megure immediately asked, “Murderer? Didn’t Abbot Tenyong commit suicide? But if he didn’t climb up to commit suicide, how did the murderer hang him on such a high beam?”

Chu Ming nodded his chin: “I’m asking you, tell me quickly.”

Xiu Nian’s face turned red with anger: “I already said it wasn’t me. I was chanting in my room last night! Do you have any fun targeting me?”

Chu Ming stood up straight, and looked down at him using the height difference, his momentum immediately rose: “Not you?”

“no!”

“Did you hear any noise last night?”

Sound? Xiu Nian panicked, then thought for a moment: “I am more focused when reading the scriptures, and some sounds may be ignored by me.”

“Really? Then you didn’t hear Xiaolan’s scream last night?”

Xiunian’s mind raced: “So this is what you are talking about. I heard Miss Maori’s scream. After all, she is a girl. She was frightened by the abbot last night. It is inevitable that she is afraid——”

Everyone looked at him gloomily, making him unable to say any more.

“I’m sorry, I lied to you. No one screamed last night.”

Xiu Nian secretly gritted her teeth and pretended to be relieved: “Yes, I really didn’t hear any sound. Because you have been doubting me before, I didn’t dare to admit it just now, but just followed your words… In fact, I didn’t hear any sound last night…”

Chu Ming sneered: “Really? Look at the expressions of your senior brothers before deciding whether to continue making up stories.”

Xiu Nian’s face changed drastically. Looking at the incredulous eyes of his senior brothers, he knew that he had fallen into Chu Ming’s verbal trap.

“Xiu Nian, you–” Kuan Nian and the others opened their mouths but could not say anything.

Chu Ming tilted his head with a smile: “Master Xiu Nian, now please answer, was there any sound last night~”

A trace of resentment flashed in Xiu Nian’s eyes: “What on earth do you want to say? I’ve said before that I’m very focused when I read the scriptures, and sometimes I can’t pay attention to the outside noise! ​​And what you said can’t be used as evidence!”

Inspector Megure confirmed his words: “Yes, brother Chu Ming, these cannot be used as evidence…”

Xiu Nian’s arrogance suddenly became arrogant: “Look, I told you this can’t be used as evidence. I was just reading in the room last night. The abbot must have been caught by the Mist Tengu!”

Chu Ming took Conan, who had been behind him, and put him forward: “Stupid, ignorant, I don’t want to talk to you anymore, Conan, tell him where the evidence is!”

Conan was listening attentively when he was suddenly pushed forward. He hurriedly handed the wooden board in his hand to Inspector Megure with a handkerchief.

“That’s it. Brother Chu Ming said the murderer took advantage of…”

While Conan was explaining, Chu Ming came outside. Conan talked too much nonsense. He just asked him to tell him what the evidence was, but he insisted on starting with how the murderer prepared…

Why doesn’t he start from when Pangu created the world?

but–

Chu Ming staggered to the skylight above, ready to demonstrate in sync with what Conan said and give the people in the room a bath.

Sure enough, halfway through, Officer Megure questioned: “The skylight window is still a long distance away from the waterfall–“

“Whew!” Water poured down from the windowsill, soaking his head and face.

Chu Ming poked his head in from the skylight and grinned at Officer Megure who was soaked all over.

Look, the water is falling off my head.

He said to Officer Megure below, as if to help him solve his puzzlement: “Just use a wooden board. Put the tape on the reverse side and you can lead the water in through the skylight. Officer Megure has also felt it. With this amount of water flowing, it is still possible to fill the room.”

Inspector Megure silently wiped his face with a towel, glanced at Chu Ming, whose head was only sticking out of the skylight, and felt his fist itchy.

Chapter 197 Big Brother Will Help You

After Conan handed over the evidence, Xiunian finally gave up struggling.

“Yes, I killed him. I did all this to avenge my brother…”

Chu Ming was impatient to listen to this. He stood by the waterfall, looking at the rushing water column, and began to daydream.

He is now following the path planned by the organization to make his presence felt on the red side.

He has been thinking about the reason for doing this but still has no clue. Could it be that the organization wants him to go undercover in the Metropolitan Police Department?

Chu Ming is not stupid. He can see that Gin intends to train him. There is a high probability that he will be the one to take over his position in the future. The boss probably also acquiesces to this.

But this is what made him feel conflicted. A future leader of the action team actually had to go undercover in the Metropolitan Police Department? Who would believe this?

This is so strange, but if he is not asked to be an undercover agent, then is his current growth path off track?

What does a small leader of a terrorist organization want to be great and glorious?

“…Brother Chu Ming, Brother Chu Ming?”

Xiaolan’s shout brought him back to his senses: “What’s wrong?”

“The incident has been successfully resolved. Conan said that you told him all this. Brother Chu Ming, you are really awesome! We should go now. Officer Megure said he can take us down the mountain.”

Chu Ming nodded and followed Xiaolan downstairs.

When Conan saw Chu Ming coming, he quickly ran over, tugged at him, and boasted in a low voice with some pride: “Brother Chu Ming, did you see that? This is the correct way of reasoning I am doing today.”

Chu Ming rolled his eyes and imitated Vermouth, reaching out to pinch Conan’s face: “I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it. I just asked you to hand over the evidence to Officer Megure. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”

“I almost wanted to perform for you.” Conan’s face was pinched and he spoke incoherently.

“No, you just showed me how to encounter three murders in two days.” Chu Ming let go of his hand and said unhappily.

“It’s not that exaggerated…” Conan retorted in a weak voice.

Chu Ming didn’t say anything, but just gave him a look and let him figure it out for himself.

However, although he looked disgusted, Chu Ming was actually very happy in his heart, and even felt that it was too little.

I wonder if there is any way to strengthen Conan’s aura. Conan will be responsible for triggering the case, and he will be responsible for taking away the magnetic field and solving the case at the speed of light. After all, Conan’s case solving is too long-winded. By the time he has time to explain, the next case may have already come.

Conan, sitting in the car, felt a chill on his back and couldn’t help shivering.

Xiaolan quickly hugged him in her arms and asked with concern: “Conan, what’s wrong with you? Are you cold?”

After saying that, she touched his hands and face to see if he had caught a cold.

Conan sat on Xiaolan’s lap with a blushing face, letting her hands touch and pinch him.
