Vermouth was deliberately vague, wanting Conan to take over.

“What do I know?” Conan puffed up his cheeks. “It’s obviously him who went too far. He wanted to snatch Sister Xiaolan away. Brother Chu Ming, didn’t you see the sticky look he gave Sister Xiaolan on the boat last time? Sister Xiaolan is already taken! But I haven’t heard from Brother Shinichi for a long time… Alas…”

Vermouth was stunned by Conan’s sudden childish words, and it was this stunned moment that made Conan completely certain that the person in front of him was not Chu Ming.

Haibara had mentioned to him before that it was she who confirmed the death of Kudo Shinichi. After the organization confirmed that it was she, the traitor, who confirmed the death of Kudo Shinichi, they might send someone to investigate.

Then choosing to start with this child who is easily tricked is undoubtedly the best choice.

Unfortunately, huh, you hit a wall!

Conan’s acting skills inherited from Yukiko exploded completely, and he completely portrayed himself as a flower-protecting messenger who tried hard to drive away flies in order to protect his sister.

Brother Chu Ming would never talk to him like this normally. If he really found out that he was secretly following someone from the organization again, he would definitely give him a long lecture and bombard him with words.

After all, I don’t know what’s wrong with Brother Chu Ming recently. He likes to nag and educate others, leaving suspense for others to take over the conversation. Brother Chu Ming would never do such a thing.

He just hated that he had few opportunities to speak, so why would he give the conversation to others?

So this is definitely not Brother Chu Ming!

Conan pushed up his glasses, and a glimmer of light passed by.

Chu Ming was worried and sneaked over, and heard Conan seriously fooling Vermouth.

…Well, you are worthy of me.

Unfortunately, Vermouth’s mediocre acting skills could not be hidden from her. To be precise, it was Conan’s performance that made Vermouth more certain of his identity.

After all, he was speaking normally one second, and suddenly choked up his voice to act cute the next second… I think only Conan himself thinks there’s nothing wrong with it.

After Conan said goodbye to Vermouth on the pretext of going back to do homework, Vermouth turned around and was about to leave from the other side when she noticed a figure standing at the entrance of the alley.

——Chu Ming leaned against the wall, his right leg slightly bent, his foot against the wall, a hint of cold light faintly visible at his fingertips, and he was looking at her with a half-smile.

“Sister, don’t touch my prey~”

This was the first time that Vermouth saw Chu Ming, who was usually so silly and well-behaved in front of her, look like this, and she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.

“What if my sister wants your prey?”

Chu Ming tilted his head and suddenly laughed: “Since my sister wants it too, why don’t we kill him together?”

Vermouth’s heart skipped a beat, but her face showed no sign of betrayal, still looking charming and seductive: “Didn’t you like this kid before? Did you save him just to kill him?”

Chu Ming’s fingertips flicked, and the blade danced between his five fingers, drawing out faint rays of light.

“Because this child is very interesting~ Sister just discovered it, right? He is a little kid with a big heart, mature and childish, a very contradictory person~”

“Interesting! You still want to take me with you to kill him?”

Vermouth couldn’t understand this train of thought. She felt that Chu Ming had been led astray by Gin and wanted to kill at every turn. If she had known this, she should have brought him with her when she went abroad.

Chu Ming is sometimes crazy and sometimes stupid now. He must have been beaten into this by Gin before.

Blame it on Gin!!

Chapter 202 Is it Bourbon?

Chu Ming frowned in distress. “But someone just told me that my sister has a collecting habit. She likes to collect all kinds of men and freeze them in the basement. I thought you were attracted to that little brat and wanted to make him your collection, so you planned to share it with me in half.”

“???”

Vermouth couldn’t believe her ears. What kind of collecting habit is this? Who spread the rumor?

She is a beauty with many men to boot, and she still needs to collect corpses? Is it okay for a bunch of living people to follow her?

Did someone just tell you? The only person with you just now was Bourbon…

OK, Bourbon, huh? You’re done!

Vermouth gnashed her teeth and smiled: “Sweetheart, you can’t believe the words of those men with ugly minds. They are all slander. Sister is joking with you. How could I steal your prey…”

“Okay then, I’ll continue to take care of it~” Chu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, with a bit of pleasure.

Vermouth smiled very gently: “You haven’t been back to the base for several days, right? It’s a good opportunity to send my sister back. On the way, tell her what Bourbon said to you——”

Chu Ming blinked. How did Vermouth know that it was Bourbon who shared the gossip with him?

However, this was just Vermouth’s own guess, so it shouldn’t count as something he told the person involved, right?

hiss–

Seeing Chu Ming’s hesitation, Vermouth showed a hurt look: “Sweetheart, you have grown up and have your own social life. That’s fine. Sister won’t interfere with you too much–“

“…”

This kind of words is so familiar——

——

Chu Ming sent Vermouth to the base. He didn’t want to betray Bourbon, but it was too painful to listen to the gossip and have to digest it by himself without being able to share it with others.

This has nothing to do with whether you keep your mouth shut or not!

That’s right!

And he didn’t say that Bourbon told him. All of this was guessed by Vermouth himself. You can’t blame him for this.

So on the way back to the base, Chu Ming shared most of the relevant gossip with Vermouth. He also asked Vermouth with great interest whether there was any grudge between him and Gin, and whether Gin had ever been hurt emotionally.

Vermouth’s mouth twitched: “Gin? Who could have any grudges against him? With his personality and attitude, it’s impossible… But it seems that there were a few members of the organization who didn’t know the truth and were quite obsessed with Gin…”

but–

Vermouth fell into deep thought. This kind of thing of giving her and Gin all kinds of strange personalities was similar to the novels on the dark web…

Were those novels bourbon——?

Vermouth’s eyes moved slightly, and she felt that she knew the truth.

Although that dark-skinned guy was highly valued by Rum in the intelligence team, he actually dared to instill some weird knowledge into him just because he was teamed up with Chu Ming…

Humph, this must be told to Gin! Er——I won’t tell him about the novel. It will be most interesting when he finds out about it himself.

People like Bourbon should let Gin give him more tasks so that he won’t have so much time to think about these useless gossips!

–base–

Gin walked in from the door, cigarette in his mouth and smelling of blood. Vodka was following him and reporting something to him.

When they saw Chu Ming sitting on the sofa in the hall, looking forward to it, their bodies paused at the same time.

Chu Ming smiled and waved: “Brother~Vodka~Long time no see~”

Vodka blurted out: “Why are you back?”

???

Chu Ming put away his smile, his face suddenly darkened: “Shouldn’t I come back?”

Vodka quickly shook his head and grunted for a long time: “No, no, no, no, I’m just a little surprised——”

“Hmph!” Chu Ming turned his head away arrogantly, then turned back with ill intentions after thinking about it.

“Forget it. I’ve been out for a few days and learned a new talent called ‘Smiling Pig Hiding Inside’. Do you want to see it, Vodka?”

When Vodka heard the word “talent”, he trembled with fear and instinctively wanted to refuse, but looking at Chu Ming’s smiling face, he didn’t dare…

At this time, Gin was about to go into the office with Vermouth because of her invitation. When they heard Chu Ming say that he wanted to perform, they both turned around.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at him, Chu Ming opened his mouth and let out a dry laugh: “Hahahahahahahahahahaha vodka hahahahahahahahahahaha.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Gin understood Chu Ming’s meaning in seconds and was almost sent away by his emotionless dry laugh. He continued to walk forward with Vermouth in silence, cigarette in his mouth. He shouldn’t have looked back!

Vodka was stunned for a long while before he realized that Chu Ming was mocking him as a pig. He looked at Chu Ming in confusion.

Chu Ming stared at him grimly: “What are you looking at? Why don’t you smile? Is this talent boring? I repay evil with kindness, but you don’t appreciate it?”

Vodka really wanted to be tough and tell him to get lost. He called him a pig and expected him to laugh?

Even if he was beaten to death today and carried out of the base, he couldn’t possibly—

But Gin has already gone in, and no one is backing him up, otherwise…

After grunting for a long time, he finally gave two timid laughs.

Chu Ming smiled again and patted Vodka’s shoulder with satisfaction: “Okay, go in quickly, my brother may be waiting anxiously~”

Finally getting rid of him, Vodka felt as if he had been pardoned and hurried inside.

As soon as he reached the office door, he could hear Gin’s murderous sneer, and Vodka stopped hesitantly.

What’s wrong? Why is Big Brother angry? Should he go in now?

Why does Big Brother get angry every time Granburch comes back? It’s so hard for a close friend like Big Brother to deal with him!

Chapter 203: Bourbon with a hint of tea

Chu Ming could feel Gin’s murderous aura in the hall. When he heard Gin calling Bourbon to come to the base, he lowered his head and made the sign of the cross for Bourbon.

Poor Bourbon, may God bless you~

Then he went into the room with peace of mind to change his appearance.

Toru Amuro walked into the base gate with confusion. He was originally working hard to complete the task shared with him by Chu Ming. After all, after completing this 100 million task, he could go and kill that damn FBI!

But why did Gin suddenly look for him?

The moment he entered the door, Toru Amuro’s eyes swept across Chu Ming, who was sitting on the sofa with an innocent look on his face, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

What did Granburch do?

Could it be that he sold himself out in the blink of an eye?

“Gin is waiting for you in the office~” Chu Ming waved at him and prepared to take him in.

“What did you do again?” Amuro Toru lowered her voice, intending to get some information first.
