Chapter 580: Case attracts detectives?
The car stopped in a residential area. There was an iron fence at the gate. The two-story building with yellow tiles and gray walls looked simple and elegant.
After getting out of the car, Huiyuan Ai stood by the wall and looked up, carefully examining the house: "Is this the house where my parents used to live?"
Chu Ming suddenly seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but smile mischievously: "Last time I heard that your parents rented this house to a friend, but they haven't paid the rent for more than 20 years. Look, this is all your money~"
"..." Huiyuan Ai was speechless. She wanted to reveal her identity for such a small amount of money. Was she really going to die?
There was no doorbell at the door. The group walked in through the half-open door and were seen as soon as they entered. An employee looked at Chu Ming curiously: "Hey, aren't you Mr. Fujino who came last time? What else do you want this time?"
Chu Ming turned sideways to let the people behind him pass, and explained, "I am here with a friend today. This is Dr. Agasa. He is also asking about Dr. Miyano's whereabouts, so I brought him to visit President Dejima. Sorry to bother you."
The employee nodded and pointed to an old man with his back to everyone in the room: "The president is over there, you can go there by yourselves."
President Dejima also heard the noise at this time. He turned around and looked at the group of people with some confusion: "Didn't I tell you last time? Miyamoto Atsushi and I are indeed good friends who grew up together, but we haven't seen each other for almost 30 years. When we last met, he said that he would find a large organization that agrees with his theory to fund his experiment. After that, I really don't know where he went..."
"A large organization..." Conan muttered, knowing that this so-called large organization should be the Black Organization.
"Has Dr. Miyano never contacted you since then?" The doctor felt a little disappointed. It was rare for him to get a clue, but he didn't expect it to coincide with Chu Ming's, and he didn't find out anything.
"No, he just sent me a postcard more than ten years ago, saying that he was married." President Dejima seemed to be lost in memories.
"Not really. He came once before when the president was away." An employee stood up to get some water and overheard their conversation. "Whenever the president runs out of ideas, he goes out for a walk. That's when they came. He brought his beautiful foreign wife and a little girl of about five or six years old with him. I think her name is Mingmei."
Another employee seemed to have remembered something and started talking as well: "I remember that at that time, he seemed to have been looking out. Oh, yes, there was a black car parked outside, and the car windows were tightly covered with blackout paper."
Chu Ming narrowed his eyes. This should be the person sent by the organization to monitor them.
So are researchers in the organization so restricted when they go out? They are not as free as the action team.
Chu Ming frowned slightly. Logically speaking, the organization should have valued a researcher like Miyano Atsushi who came to the organization voluntarily. They should have tried their best to win him over, so why were they keeping him under such close surveillance?
At that time, they didn't have a sister like Haibara Ai who always wanted to take her out of the organization...
Oh, my head itches, as if it needs to grow a brain.
Don’t think about it. Wouldn’t it be better to just ask the BOSS later?
At this time, an employee had already bought a bunch of food and came back to invite everyone to eat. Seeing Chu Ming and others standing in the middle of the hall, he was a little confused: "Uh, hello? I bought some food. Do you want to eat together?"
Dr. Agasa quickly refused: "No, no, we are not hungry..."
President Dejima stood up and began to dismiss the guests: "Everyone, I really don't know where Miyano went afterwards. Sorry, we still have work to do later, so I won't entertain you any longer."
Dr. Agasa knew that he couldn't get any information out of them, so he could only ask Conan and the others to leave.
Conan had just taken two steps when he suddenly thought of something. He suddenly looked up at Chu Ming and laughed and teased in a very low voice: "Didn't Brother Chu Ming say that there would be a case when I go out? Look, there is——"
"what--"
"...?" Conan spit out the words he had just said in a daze, the smile on his face slowly disappearing, he turned around in a daze, and looked at President Dejima pinching his neck with a painful look on his face, and fell to the ground with a thud.
The slap in the face happened too quickly and Conan had no time to react. It was Dr. Agasa, a tool man who also encountered many cases, who skillfully controlled the scene, stopped the employees who wanted to rush over to shake the president, protected the scene, and called the police at the same time.
Conan was rarely the first to rush over to check for clues. Instead, he stood there stupidly, staring at the president's body, with a look of doubt and shattered faith in his life in his eyes.
Chu Ming didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Looking at Conan's current expression, he felt a little embarrassed to criticize him.
Conan's behavior now was more obedient than ever before. He actually stood obediently behind Dr. Agasa, waiting for the police to arrive.
Inspector Megure and his companions arrived quickly, and when they arrived, the moment Inspector Megure saw Conan, he looked around, probably looking for Conan's scapegoat, Mouri Kogoro. But after searching for a long time without finding anyone, Inspector Megure's gaze gradually fell on Chu Ming, and slowly became meaningful.
???
Chu Ming realized that it was his turn to take the blame for Conan this time, and was full of questions. Why did Inspector Megure prefer to suspect him who seldom appeared, instead of suspecting Conan who always appeared?
hateful.
"Another poisoning murder..." Inspector Megure was a little emotional. He always felt that his life this year was too colorful. He witnessed various killing methods that he had rarely seen in previous years.
After understanding the basic situation, Officer Megure first looked at Xia Juyong who was going to buy lunch: "You bought the lunch, so you should be the most likely person to poison, right?"
Xia Jueyong waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not me. Everyone is eating the same kind of burger, and the burger in the president's hand was chosen by him. If I poisoned it, how would I know which burger the president would choose?"
Seeing that the clue was broken, Inspector Megure slowly walked towards the next person: "Then it is probably that the tools that the president often uses are poisoned. Mr. Imai, you are sitting next to the president, so is there a chance to poison the president's tools?"
Imai Tetsufu complained: "How is it possible? The president was eating cookies at his seat. If it were me, wouldn't the president be poisoned when he ate the cookies?"
Stumped again, Inspector Megure turned his gaze to the last employee present.
"Before the president went to the toilet, you went to the top lane, so could you do something to poison him in the toilet?"
My goodness, the main point is that everyone is suspected, but everyone has a reason to shirk responsibility.
Chu Ming watched this scene, picked up Conan, who was still acting silly, from behind and shook him violently, waking the dazed man up.
"Chu, Brother Chu Ming?" Conan held his dizzy head and hung on Chu Ming's hand, looking pitiful.
"Go and use your expertise to solve the case, and leave as soon as you're done. This is Dr. Miyano's former house after all, and if someone from that organization decides to come and take a look..."
Chu Ming threatened Conan skillfully and threw him down.
