Vermouth had just sat on the sofa and took out her cell phone. When she heard Chu Ming’s words, she froze for a moment, then stood up after thinking about it.

“I recently went to the vicinity of Shinde Tomoaki to scout and prepare. I won’t be returning to the base for the time being.”

After saying that, she hurried out without waiting for Gin to speak. After a while, the sound of a car starting was heard outside.

Chu Ming looked at the back of Vermouth who left immediately, then looked at Gin, feeling a little aggrieved: “I feel like I’m being excluded.”

Vodka’s mouth twitched. Who dares to exclude you…

Gin lit a cigarette calmly and took out a stack of information from his side.

“What is this?” Chu Ming rolled on the sofa and moved away from Gin cautiously.

Gin ignored Chu Ming’s refusal and put the information on the coffee table.

“Go do the mission, don’t show up in front of me.”

“I’m going to complain to the boss! You all are excluding me!!” Chu Ming rolled off the sofa and onto the floor like a tantrum.

Gin and Vodka walked past him mercilessly without even looking at him.

Chu Ming got up angrily, grabbed the documents and walked out.

It must be that he has stayed in the base for too long. As the saying goes, things smell better when they are far away than when they are near. It’s time for him to go out and wander for a while.

This is the comparison between parents’ attitudes on the first day of the holiday and on the Nth day of the holiday. He understands it all.

——The following text——

“Is he so stubborn? He didn’t die after being knocked unconscious by the vase three times? Those victims who died after being hit by a single blow should learn from his experience in the underworld.”

Chu Ming sat in a hotel in Shizuoka, holding his chin and listening to Conan talk about this miraculous case.

Gin threw all the tasks to him, but he threw all the unimportant ones to Amuro Toru and ran to Shizuoka to play with Conan.

“Yeah, in the end none of the three people were the murderer…” Conan sat on the chair and shook his short legs.

“Where’s Hattori? Didn’t he say he would come to help solve the case?” Chu Ming looked around but saw no one.

“He said this case was too unchallenging and he could see the problem at a glance. He Ye kept urging him to go back, so he left yesterday morning.”

“Then you called me here, not just to sit in the hotel and chat, right? Where is the uncle?”

Conan pointed to the reception area of ​​the hotel: “When the hotel manager heard that the uncle was the famous Maori Kogoro, he enthusiastically invited us to dinner. We just finished dinner and the two are still drinking tea now.”

Conan thought for a moment and added, “Oh, by the way, Brother Chu Ming, we saw a temple when we went hiking during the day. Do you want to go with us tomorrow? There is a strange legend about the five-story pagoda there! But I heard that the temple will be demolished soon to build a theme park, so we may not be able to see it in the future.”

“Tear it down? Why do they want to tear it down? I remember that the temples in Shizuoka should be quite old, why do they suddenly want to tear it down?” Chu Ming was a little confused. Doesn’t Japan have any concept of protecting cultural relics?

Conan took a sip of his drink and whispered, “The abbot of the temple said that he was deceived into signing the contract. Now the temple has been owned by a tourism company and will soon be demolished to build a theme park.”

Being cheated? Signing a contract? Strange legend?

This familiar breath, the magnetic field is predetermined.

“Okay, shall we go tomorrow morning?”

Conan nodded: “Yes, let’s go for another round tomorrow. Uncle said he would take us to a remote fishing ground in Shizuoka to go fishing. He said it was a rare opportunity to come to Shizuoka and he hasn’t received any commissions recently, so we might as well have some fun.”

Chu Ming immediately became excited: “Fishing? Although I don’t know how to fish, I can spear fish! Let me show you how to do it later.”

Conan looked unconvinced: “Well, I wonder if I can eat the fish you forked—”

Looking at Oda Hideaki, the president of ODA Tourism, who was talking enthusiastically with Maori Kogoro, Chu Ming had already anticipated what he would look like when he turned into a magnetic field.

Suddenly, a burly bald man pushed the security guard at the door, rushed in, and stood next to Oda Hideaki.

“You can actually drink tea here elegantly. Look, my father is ignorant of the world and you deceived him into signing the contract. Don’t think you can get away with it!!” Chunhai clenched his fists, his face full of resentment.

“Hey, isn’t this the successor to the abbot of Huan Kuai Temple? How come you have finished your work in the temple and have time to come to our hotel?”

……

First he spoke ill of his subordinates, then he provoked and mocked the temple heir, and even showed off his wealth to Kogoro Mori… his death index is full.

Because of the unexpected situation, Chu Ming and Conan also went over there to listen to their conversation. Chunhai was so angry about what Oda Hideaki said that he turned away. At this time, Maori Kogoro was also a little confused.

“Mr. Oda, did you have a dispute with someone in the temple?”

Oda Hideaki waved his hand and said, “They all misunderstood. Obviously, my development of a theme park would also help the incense of their temples. I would leave a door for them in the theme park so that tourists passing by the park can also stop by the temple to offer some incense. It’s just that these monks are conservative and don’t understand the old ways!”

Conan suddenly said, “But the abbot said this morning that if you mess with the temple, you will be punished. You heard it, right, Xiaolan?”

Seeing several people looking at her, Xiaolan’s face instantly turned red: “It’s so rude to say that, Conan, don’t say these things now…”

“Hahahaha—” Oda Yingming laughed, “Many people have used this legend to scare me, but I’m not afraid. Just wait, I will definitely be able to attract a lot of customers by then!”

Chu Ming looked at the president who was talking nonsense and couldn’t help shaking his head. He was too naive. How could what others said be the same as what the god of death said?

Sure enough, the next day, the order was delivered on time.

The day before yesterday, Mr. Okabe, who was showing Conan and his friends around the temple, suddenly called and told Kogoro Mori that ghosts and gods were causing trouble again and hoped that he would come quickly.

Chu Ming followed them to the five-story pagoda. Following Okabe’s instructions, he saw a person hanging on the top of the pagoda, swaying.

“Is that President Oda???” Maori Kogoro frowned, “I’ll go to the tower to check, Xiaolan, call the police!”

“Conan, I’ve discovered that you’re a bad-mouthed person, and I have the evidence.” Chu Ming squatted down and muttered to Conan, “Look, you just said yesterday that he would be punished, and today he was hanged. Did you secretly curse him?”

“Brother Chu Ming, what nonsense are you talking about!” Conan rolled his eyes, speechless, “How could he die just because of a word from me? Believe in science!”

?

There is no science in the world of science. After all, even Newton’s coffin can’t be covered, so how can we still dream of science?

Chapter 190: President

Seeing Conan rolling his eyes at him, Chu Ming couldn’t help but rub his head hard.

“I didn’t see a murder case in a year before. Since I met you, I will definitely encounter a case whenever I go out with you guys. Do you think you are cursed? Go to the temple and pray.”

Conan originally wanted to refute, but found that he couldn’t find any point to refute!

Seeing that Conan had nothing to say, Chu Ming stood up triumphantly.

The magnetic field he had just discovered was in the nearby grass, not in the five-story pagoda.

This means that the victim did not hang himself on the tower.

At this time, Officer Yokomizo had hurried over and started discussing the matter with Kogoro Mori. He was gradually persuaded by Kogoro Mori to believe that this was a suicide.

Conan went to the tower alone to look for clues after his failed defense, and came back with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

“Brother Chu Ming, this is not a suicide, but a homicide. Mr. Oda’s feet were close to the railing…”

Chu Ming, who was trying hard to find the wallet dropped by Oda Hideaki and was about to rob the dead man, turned around and responded with a “hmm” or “ah” sound.

Conan squatted aside and chattered a lot. Seeing Chu Ming still staring at the ground looking around, he couldn’t help but get angry.

“Brother Chu Ming, are you listening to me?”

Chu Ming looked solemn: “How could it be impossible to find it? Where would the victim’s wallet fall?”

Conan suddenly realized: “Brother Chu Ming, you think Mr. Oda didn’t commit suicide, right? The wallet is also a big suspicious point. Mr. Oda didn’t change his clothes, but his wallet was missing. How can a person who wants to commit suicide care where his wallet is… Yes, I want to go and have another look!”

“Ah?” Chu Ming came back to his senses and saw Conan’s excited back. He couldn’t help feeling a little confused. What did he just say?

“President-President-ah-“

In the distance, a figure ran towards this side with a long voice. He fell beside President Oda’s body and cried heartbreakingly. He probably didn’t feel so sad even when his parents died.

Chu Ming’s eyes gradually locked onto him. Oh my goodness, you are the murderer, right? This drama is too much!!!

“Who are you?” Officer Yokomizo and Kogoro Mori were startled by his wailing cry.

The man stood up and wiped his tears: “I am the manager of Oda Hotel, Himura Yosuke.”

“Were you here last night?”

Himura Yosuke waved his hands repeatedly: “No, no, no, I haven’t been here. I went to Tokyo on a business trip when the president was having dinner with a few guests yesterday. I just came back now.”

“Then do you know if President Oda has any signs of suicide?”

Himura Yosuke lowered his head, his face full of sorrow: “To be honest, the president is actually very depressed. I am on this business trip to raise funds. If we can’t raise funds, the company may not be able to pay salaries at the end of this month. The president has been very worried about this recently.”

Chu Ming stared at him with suspicion: “That’s not right. We saw a thick stack of banknotes in the president’s wallet last night.”

Himura Yosuke said calmly, “That’s because our president is too proud to show his embarrassment in front of outsiders. Yesterday, the president was also very distressed because of the fact that the temple wanted to take legal action.”

“Really? But I remember you left early yesterday? How did you know that someone came to the temple last night?” Chu Ming gave a playful smile and stared at Himura Yosuke.

At this time, Yosuke Himura was already a little nervous because Kogoro Mori and Officer Yokomizo also began to stare at him with suspicion.

In all previous cases, as long as Chu Ming started asking questions, it meant that he had roughly guessed who the murderer was, and his guesses were basically correct.

So when they saw Chu Ming’s attitude, they naturally regarded Himura Yosuke as the most likely suspect at the moment.

“That’s because last night, the president called me. Yes, he called me and told me about this!”

Yosuke Himura wiped his sweat and finally thought of a reason.

“Really? Then Mr. Himura, can you lend me your wallet? I remember the president should have a thick stack of -“

Chu Ming got angry just thinking about it, this money was supposed to be his!

Yosuke Himura interrupted him directly: “If you want to say that there are fingerprints of the president on the money next to me, then it is certain that this money was given to me by the president to hand over to the partners!”

“Oh~ It seems that Mr. Himura’s excuse is very sufficient?”

As Chu Ming spoke, he opened Himura Yosuke’s wallet, and sure enough, there was a thick stack of banknotes inside.

Maori Kogoro looked over with a suspicious look: “This money looks about the same thickness as the money in the president’s bag before? No way–“

“I already told you that this was given to me by the president! Don’t accuse me without any evidence!!!”

Chu Ming closed his wallet with a snap and dodged Himura Yosuke’s hand that was trying to take it back.
