Chu Ming casually stuffed the invitation into his pocket and said, “I know a big star. She received the invitation but was not available, so she asked me to attend on her behalf.”

Seeing that Conan wanted to ask more, Chu Ming picked up the biscuits on the table and stuffed them into his mouth: “You must be hungry, eat more.”

Conan’s mouth was filled with biscuits. He rolled his eyes at Chu Ming and started to eat the biscuits.

After chatting with Kogoro Moriya for a long time, Teiji Moriya finally revealed his purpose.

“Detective Maori, I heard that a great detective like you must be very good at decryption, right? I have a puzzle here for a few of my friends. It’s a question about deducing the startup password of a computer company run by three people in partnership. If it’s Mr. Maori, there will be no problem.”

Maori Kogoro felt the whispers and shocked looks from the people around him, straightened his collar, and said confidently: “Of course, please ask the questions.”

Moriya Teiji took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and distributed them to everyone present: “The password is a common word among the three of them, consisting of five hiragana characters. Everyone, come and try it.”

Chu Ming looked at the note in his hand:

“Oyamada Riki (Type A), birthday: October 31;

Sorahi Sasuke (Type B), birthday: June 32;

Konohagi (O type), birthday: January 33.

Chapter 154 Stuck Inside

I didn’t expect that Japan also has the Ten Heavenly Stems and Twelve Earthly Branches.

The 31st year of the Showa era was the Year of the Monkey, the 32nd year of the Showa era was the Year of the Rooster, and the 33rd year of the Showa era was the Year of the Dog.

In Japanese, 申=さる=monkey,酉=とり=bird,戌=いぬ=dog. In Japanese legends, monkeys, birds, and dogs are Momotaro’s followers, so the answer is——

“——It’s Momotaro!” Conan raised his hand with pride, “Their zodiac signs happen to be Momotaro’s followers!”

A trace of surprise flashed across Moriya Teiji’s eyes: “You got the answer right kid, that’s amazing!”

The people around also applauded Conan, except for Kogoro Mouri, who crumpled the paper into a ball with a worried look on his face.

“Then as a reward, I will invite little Conan to visit my exhibition room. Miss Xiaolan can also come along.”

Teiji Moritani wanted to deal with Kudo Shinichi, so he wanted to get some information from Xiaolan first.

Conan glanced at Chu Ming, then turned around and wanted to ask Moriya Teiji if Chu Ming could go with him.

Chu Ming waved his hand at him: “You and Xiaolan go in, Mr. Moritani’s cooking skills are amazing, and these cookies are so delicious.”

If he doesn’t eat it now, he won’t be able to eat it next time he goes to jail.

Seeing that Chu Ming was not interested, Conan stopped forcing him.

After the two of them finished their tour, Conan used the excuse of going to Dr. Agasa’s house to play and got into Chu Ming’s car.

“What should I do, Brother Chu Ming, Xiaolan said she wants to celebrate my birthday with me!”

Chu understood him at a glance: “Don’t be so Versailles, just accompany me, why are you showing off to me?”

“No, Brother Chu Ming, I mean she wants to celebrate Kudo Shinichi’s birthday and she wants me to watch a midnight movie with her next week night! What should I do!”

“When? Where can I go? I’ll be the electric light – I’ll go and watch the fun.”

“Three days later at 10 o’clock in the evening, at the Mihua Cinema over at the Mihua City Building – no, Brother Chu Ming, I want you to help me think of a solution!”

“Then why don’t you reject her? Just say you have something to do that day and can’t go over for the time being.”

Conan sighed and fell back on the backrest: “I can’t help it. I can’t bear to say it when I see her looking forward to flipping through the calendar every day. Oh, what can I do!”

“Then go to Dr. Agasa and ask him if there is any progress in making an antidote for Huiyuan, or ask Dr. Agasa if he can make a lifelike robot for you?”

Conan’s eyes lit up: “Yes, yes, brother Chu Ming, just drop me off at the door of Dr. Agasa’s house.”

Watching Conan’s happy back disappear into the distance, Chu Ming stuffed a lollipop into his mouth.

Nice, lychee flavor.

—————-

“Oh my god, what the hell just ran over there? It looked like a blue mouse.”

Chu Ming stood on the side of the road and felt a gust of wind blowing past him. A figure on a scooter whizzed past at an extremely fast speed.

Is that Conan? What case has he run into? Unfortunately, he is now using the identity of Shotake Yusuke and has a mission to complete, so he can’t go to take advantage of the magnetic field.

There was a banquet at the rooftop restaurant of the Beika City Building at around 9:30 in the evening, and Gin asked him to sneak in and kill someone.

The day before yesterday, Conan told him that he and Xiaolan would have a date in three days, which is tomorrow.

So today is safe~

It’s still early now, so let’s go to the teahouse there to have some tea and some snacks.

Chu Ming sat in front of the window wearing his disguise and casually ordered a cup of oolong tea and a few small desserts.

Halfway through his meal, he raised his eyes and subconsciously observed the surroundings, only to see Xiaolan and Sonoko sitting diagonally opposite them drinking tea.

Are you here to buy a gift for Kudo Shinichi?

Wow, that’s great. His birthday is coming soon. I wonder if he can get some good gifts from some members of the organization.

Sonoko was originally joking with Xiaolan, but suddenly her eyes lit up and she poked Xiaolan and whispered.

“Lan, look, look at the handsome guy sitting next to you by the window, ahhh he is so charming!!”

“Really? You started it again…” Xiaolan turned her head and looked, “Hey, I think I’ve seen this gentleman before.”

“What, really? You’ve seen Xiaolan before, come on, take me to meet her.”

Xiaolan quickly pulled her back and said, “Don’t be ridiculous. We only met once. It was at a hotel in Izu last time. He helped subdue a gangster. It’s so rude of you to just rush up to him like that.”

Yuanzi looked at her with resentment, and said, “You are a full man who doesn’t know the hunger of a hungry man. You were going to have a sweet date with Kudo tonight, but you never thought that your poor best friend is still alone~”

When Chu Ming saw Suzuki Sonoko staring at him with shining eyes, he quickly ate the snacks, drank his tea, and got up and left.

As a result, he didn’t hear Sonoko teasing Xiaolan and missed this important news.

————–

The banquet hall was brightly lit and filled with cheers.

Men and women in their best clothes held wine glasses and walked among the crowd, the aroma of wine wafting from the colliding glasses.

Chu Ming successfully sneaked into the restaurant, dragged the man into the bathroom while the crowd was noisy, fed him a pill of APTX-4869, and watched him die before leaving.

He took out his cell phone and walked downstairs while modifying the on-site surveillance footage, deleting all the footage in which he appeared.

Chu Ming looked at the time. It was almost ten o’clock. He looked around at the luxurious decoration around him.

Tsk tsk, such a nice building is going to be blown up tomorrow night.

What a pity~ Why not let him go to the cinema and buy a cup of milk tea as a souvenir?

Chu Ming had just stepped out of the elevator on the fifth floor and was about to walk towards the milk tea shop when he suddenly noticed a very familiar figure at the entrance of the cinema.

Hmm? The one in red… isn’t that Xiaolan?

What the hell!!! Didn’t Conan say we’d have a date tomorrow!!!

What the hell is this science time!!

Just when Chu Ming turned around and wanted to run away.

‘boom–‘

The exploding flames and loud noises caused the entire building to shake slightly.

Chu Ming stumbled and the rubble above his head kept falling down.

Several exits were also blocked by collapsed stone pillars, and the hall was in chaos.

Chu Ming stood in the middle of the hall with a frown on his face.

If I had known earlier, I would have gone downstairs directly and might have been on the car going home now.

Knock, now I’m stuck inside.

Chapter 155 Bomb Disposal

There was another violent earthquake, and the entire hall was in chaos and everyone was distracted.

The bomb destroyed the circuit system, and now the entire hall was in darkness, with only faint light from the fire outside visible through the gaps.

There was dead silence in the shattered hall, and the trapped people sat on the ground waiting for rescue.

A girl hugged her legs. The fear of being trapped surged in her heart, making her sob.

Xiaolan smiled and stepped forward to comfort him: “Don’t be afraid, we will be rescued.”

At this moment, the phone in the hall and Chu Ming’s cell phone rang at the same time.

Xiaolan patted the girl’s back gently and went forward to answer the phone.

Chu Ming retreated back to the shadows and answered the phone.

“Big brother?”

“Are you still in the Mika City Building? There was an explosion there. Did you come out?”

“No, I’m trapped on the fifth floor. There seems to be a bomb here.”

Chu Ming stood next to the bomb and kicked the paper bag in front of him.

In the quiet place, only the voices of Chu Ming and Xiao Lan echoed. Even though Chu Ming’s voice was relatively small, people nearby still heard the word “bomb”.

They all hid to the other side in panic.

“Bomb?” Gin couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the phone in his hand, “What kind of bomb? I’ll teach you how to dismantle it.”

Chu Ming held the phone between his legs, sat cross-legged in a weird posture, and tore open the outer wrapping paper.

“There’s an LCD screen outside, and a bunch of colorful wires inside. Tsk, this prisoner is a bit stupid, why not use all black wires~”

Chu Ming casually fiddled with the bomb in front of him.
