“Hey, Conan, why is your face so hot? Did you catch a cold and have a fever in the temple?” Xiaolan was a little worried.

Chu Ming held back his laughter and pulled Conan out of his arms: “It’s okay, it shouldn’t be a cold, I have a way.”

After saying that, he put Conan, who he had pulled out, on his other side, away from Xiaolan.

Conan resisted the urge to stab Chu Ming and just stared at him without saying a word.

Chu Ming pretended not to see it and greeted Xiaolan seriously: “Well, Xiaolan, do you think his face is not red now?”

“Really? Brother Chu Ming, you are amazing. You can do everything.”

…………

Conan felt physically and mentally hurt, so he went to Professor Agasa to play with some kids from the Junior Detective League.

Sitting in the coffee shop, Chu Ming opened his system panel and added all the magnetic fields he had recently obtained to fighting. Now his fighting skills have reached level 86, and his disguise has reached level 71 after the careful instruction of Vermouth. Now he can disguise himself without spending points on face-pinching.

Great, I saved some points~ and the points I saved can be added to fighting, and the cycle repeats~

He will surely become stronger quietly and then surprise everyone.

Maybe I can catch Gin off guard, and then——hehe~

Looking at the task on the phone, Chu Ming used Shotake Yusuke’s face, drank coffee, and waited for Bo Ben to meet him.

Last time, most of the tasks were assigned to Bourbon, but he has been out playing for a few days, and there are still some tasks left unfinished. Now we need a hardworking and kind little bee to help out ~ Anyway, there is no task that needs to be kept secret.

Bourbon walked into the coffee shop with a swift pace, his face full of resentment, and he started to complain: “I think this task allocation is not very reasonable, what do you think?”

Chu Ming pushed the coffee he ordered in front of him and said, “Why is it unreasonable? Don’t I have to drive along when Big Brother is on a mission? Look at Gin and Vodka, and then look at yourself. Your awareness is far worse than Vodka’s!”

Bourbon drank the coffee in front of him and retorted dimly: “From what I know, most of the time it’s Gin who’s driving the car.”

Chu Ming became interested when he heard this. He sat up straight and came close to Amuro Toru, asking curiously, “How did you know this? Is this what you intelligence officers are capable of? Is there any other gossip you can share with me?”

Toru Amuro looked at the head that was almost approaching him and stepped back with his coffee.

“You can listen to gossip, but these tasks——”

Chu Ming waved his hand happily: “Okay.”

Amuro Toru just smiled, but was so angry at Chu Ming’s next words that he almost had a myocardial infarction.

“I heard from Rum that you, Bourbon, love working the most. Since you are so sincere in your request, I, as your big brother, can only fulfill your wish. You have to complete all these tasks by yourself. I will not interfere!”

Looking at Chu Ming, whose face looked righteous and as if he was saying some oath, Toru Amuro’s mouth twitched a few times.

“No, no, that’s not what I meant—”

Chu Ming interrupted him succinctly: “Okay, stop talking, big brother understands it all, come, drink coffee, it’s all in the coffee, cheers!”

Looking at Chu Ming who quickly picked up the cup and clinked glasses with his, Amuro Toru wanted to pour the coffee in his hand on his face.

Chapter 198 Is this talking about Gin?

Impressed by Toru Amuro’s diligence, Chu Ming happily transferred several tasks to him.

Ignoring Bourbon’s eyes that were about to burst into flames, he couldn’t help but sigh again.

Bourbon, good man!

Currently, Chu Ming has only one last task left, which is related to APTX-4869 and it is a long-term task.

It is related to the information they obtained in Maehara City before.

After confirmation, this information is the same as the information that Shirley’s parents, Atsushi Miyano and Elena Miyano, lost before. It is the same type of document that was lost after Shirley disappeared.

Well, sometime I’ll secretly go and ask Shirley where the documents she took with her when she left are.

Toru Amuro looked at Chu Ming in front of him, shaking his head while drinking coffee. He was lost in thought while drinking, and wondered what he was thinking about.

He interrupted Chu Ming’s thoughts calmly: “This task——”

Seeing that he wanted to bring up the past again, Chu Ming coughed lightly and said, “It’s not that I won’t help you, I’ve been busy lately. You probably don’t know that the FBI has entered the country again, especially that Akai Shuichi. I don’t know why they like to sneak into Japan so much. I don’t know what the Japanese public security is doing. The FBI blatantly entered the country and they didn’t react at all. They are all rubbish.”

Amuro Toru tightened his grip on the coffee cup, and he looked murderous: “Akai Shuichi is coming to Japan?”

Chu Ming looked at Bourbon, who was no longer concerned about the rationality of the mission, and nodded: “You don’t know, this Akai Shuichi simply swaggered into the country openly, tut tut, I don’t know what those police officers do for a living, I’m afraid their faces are swollen from being beaten.”

Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes, and suddenly put on a rare smile: “This organization is a mortal enemy, big brother, can you take me with you when you encircle and destroy them?”

Chu Ming looked at Bourbon’s smiling face and rejected him with regret: “Forget about the rest, Shuichi Akai is too strong, and you are just an intelligence officer. This is not appropriate. Big Brother will not let you die in vain.”

Amuro Toru gritted his teeth. Now he knew that he was an intelligence officer? Why didn’t he remember it when he sent him on crazy missions before?

“Okay, come on, share the gossip you wanted to share with me! Come on, come on.” Chu Ming’s eyes lit up, “Anything about gin?”

“Yes.” Amuro Toru took a sip of coffee and recalled some gossip he heard when he was looking for intelligence. “But it’s not true, and you can’t say it was me who said it in front of the person involved.”

Chu Ming waved his hands excitedly: “It’s okay, it’s okay, I just want to have some fun, and I’m very tight-lipped!”

“Wow……”

“My God…”

“Alas……”

As Chu Ming listened, he made strange exclamations.

Everyone in the coffee shop looked over here unconsciously. Chu Ming didn’t feel anything, but Amuro Tou felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

“…That’s why Chianti began to fall in love with Calvados, but unfortunately, Calvados only had eyes for Vermouth.”

Toru Amuro told Chu Ming all the gossip he knew, but deliberately kept silent about Gin’s question.

“Okay, okay, now it’s time for the climax. Where’s Gin?” Chu Ming was so happy listening to the story that he felt he had collected a lot of material and would go back to sew some revisions and put it in the novel.

Toru Amuro drank his coffee without saying a word.

“Okay, okay, I’ll take you with me when I come back to stop Akai Shuichi.”

Only then did Toru Amuro raise his head and tell Chu Ming the secret he had heard about Gin.

“It is said that several years ago, when Gin was on a mission…”

……

Just as Chu Ming was listening to the story with great interest, he unexpectedly heard a familiar voice.

“Hello, we……”

“You must be the Junior Detective Team, right? The doctor has reserved a seat for you. Please follow me.”

It happened that Chu Ming was sitting near the door. He looked over when he heard the sound and, sure enough, the people who came in with the waiter were Conan and a few kids from the Junior Detective League.

Hey, another magnetic field comes so soon, is that so good?

As Amuro Toru was talking, he noticed that Chu Ming looked at the door several times, so he turned his head and looked over, and happened to meet Conan’s habitual hesitant eyes.

!!! Conan saw a familiar person and his heart started pounding.

It’s them again! What are they doing here? Are they here to kill people? Or do they have a mission?

Conan remained calm, followed the children and sat at the table, and ordered a cup of ice cream.

Sitting on the chair, with the help of the pillar behind him, Conan turned back from time to time to see what the two people were talking about.

Amuro Toru looked at this familiar child. Was this the one Granburch had saved in Izu? He had also seen him in the cinema later.

Is Japan so small that it would be so easy to meet each other?

Amuro Toru secretly glanced at Conan’s location, then glanced at Chu Ming quietly. He turned around and asked Fengjian to check the little boy. Maybe he could find out Granburch’s identity by following the clues.

Chu Ming also saw Amuro Toru’s eyes and smiled playfully.

Although he did not deliberately bring Toru Amuro to meet Conan, this is the third time they have met. According to Toru Amuro, who is a very smart person, he would definitely be suspicious and want to investigate.

Chu Ming’s mouth curled up slightly. Since the organization wanted to separate Fujino Chu Ming and Granburch, they must have made complete preparations. If Amuro Toru wanted to investigate alone, he would probably return empty-handed.

More and more people came to the cafe, and Chu Ming signaled to Amuro Toru that he didn’t need to continue. In fact, there were not many gossips about Gin, and most of them were just speculations and rumors from others…

Just about what Toru Amuro said just now, about how Gin was cheated by a woman on his first mission and was emotionally hurt, so he is so cold now… What the hell is this?

Does this sound like gin to you?

Vodka is pretty good.

Chapter 199 Rice Krispie Law

Chu Ming was chatting with Amuro Toru casually when suddenly two people came in one after the other.

As they walked, one of the unkempt men kept complaining that his job was too boring and unproductive, and that he was ready to find a better job.

Chu Ming clearly saw a flash of murderous intent in the eyes of the man in front of him after hearing his complaint.

This discovery made him sit up straight, and he was looking forward to the magnetic field later.

As Amuro Toru was talking, he noticed that Chu Ming’s gaze had shifted, so he looked over there too.

“What happened to these two people?”

Chu Ming turned around, his mouth slightly raised, with a bit of evil in his eyes: “I saw something interesting.”

“Interesting stuff?” Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head to take a closer look, but didn’t find anything, “What’s interesting about it?”

“I saw a boss who only made big promises and an employee who didn’t want to work hard. According to the Rice Flower Law——”

——One of these two people must be missing. However, Chu Ming did not tell Amuro Toru about this law he had drawn up.

So Amuro Toru was confused: “Rice Flower Law?”

Conan had been secretly staring at the two men through the pillar and saw that their eyes – especially the black man – were looking at the two people who had just come in through the window.

Is this their goal?

Conan’s heart tightened and he touched his pocket, because he didn’t bring any equipment with him when he went out to play with the kids from the detective team.

Even the anesthetic needle had not been used for several days because Chu Ming had been busy solving cases recently, so he took it down and asked the doctor to maintain it.

What should I do? What if they suddenly attack and hurt people? How can I stop them?

Or are these two people just here to drink coffee like they did in the cinema?

Just then, the boss, Kazuo Ohara, looked at the time, stood up and said he wanted to go to the bathroom.
