Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Someone attacked him? He's asking for it.

Gin smirked and delivered a sweeping kick, intending to subdue the man.

Chu Ming instinctively slid in and kicked him over the head with a powerful kick.

"Big Brother!!!!" Seeing that Gin had missed his kick and was about to draw his gun, Chu Ming quickly called out to warn him.

Don't be impulsive, we're on the same side!!!

Gin sheathed the gun he had drawn and just stared at Chu Ming without saying a word.

Chu Ming felt uneasy under his gaze: "Big brother, w-what's wrong?"

Where were you going?

"Going to the toilet!" Chu Ming said without any guilt.

"Go to the base entrance?" Gin asked, lighting a cigarette, his face expressionless.

"Uh...no, I wanted to go out for some fresh air before going to class..." Chu Ming racked his brains to come up with an excuse.

Gin glanced at Vodka with a questioning look. Just as Vodka was about to complain, he saw Chu Ming looking at him from behind Gin with a warning look.

“It’s like this—” Vodka turned his body away, pretending not to see Chu Ming’s gaze.

"Big brother, it's like this!!! I'm going out on important business!!!" Chu Ming stepped in front of Vodka and spoke first.

The look in Gin's eyes seemed to say, "Keep making things up."

Chu Ming, who was prepared, took out a newspaper from his pocket: "Brother, take a look."

Gin took the newspaper, which read: "Renowned doctor Yoshiteru Shinide murdered by his wife..."

After glancing at the report, Gin nodded and walked toward his office with the newspaper in his hand.

"Come with me, and while you're at it, call Vermouth and tell her to come back."

"Okay, big brother~"

Seeing that Gin had moved on from the matter, Chu Ming followed Gin inside triumphantly, not forgetting to turn back and threaten Vodka.

"Get to work! Don't slack off! If you had talked less, this would have been finished by now!"

"..."

A moment later, Vermouth pushed open the office door: "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly call me back?"

Gin pointed to the newspaper on the table: "There's been a change in the situation regarding the identity you've been eyeing."

Seeing that Gin didn't want to say more, Chu Ming took the newspaper and explained to Vermouth.

"When I went out today, Kogoro Mouri told me that they had encountered a case the night before last. Yoshiteru Araide was killed by his second wife, and now only Tomoaki Araide, the maid Hikari, and Tomoaki Araide's grandmother are left in the house."

The newspaper said that a timed electrocution device caused Yoshiteru Araide's death, but Kogoro Mouri and I inquired and learned that the truth is the murderer set a trap. A maid pulled the switch, electrocuting Yoshiteru. The change in the public testimony was mainly to prevent the maid from feeling guilty.

Vermouth looked surprised: "Wow, sweetheart, your intelligence-gathering skills are pretty good too. It saved me a lot of trouble. I was just thinking of sneaking into the Metropolitan Police Department to find out the details of the case. Luckily you found out the truth, otherwise this would have been a loophole—"

Chu Ming's tail practically wagging in the air as he nodded and smugly said, "Exactly! If you were to impersonate Shinichiro, I could use drugs to kill his grandmother. I got a lot of really useful drugs from Potter!"

Vermouth smiled slightly: "No need for all that trouble, a car accident can solve everything."

Gin agreed: "That's right."

“Okay—” Chu Ming drawled, “By the way, big brother, I’m going to Ogasawara in the next few days.”

"Ok?"

Chu Ming flipped the newspaper over: "Look, the Ogasawara dolphin show!"

Vermouth leaned closer to take a look: "The top ten riddle solvers will receive a free Ogasawara dolphin tour? Sweetheart, you're going there for fun? I thought you were doing a mission there."

Gin stubbed out his cigarette: "Have you finished classifying the documents you organized today?"

"Alright!" Chu Ming added, "Thanks to Vodka's kind help, I've finished everything."

Vermouth suggested, "...Actually, I have a few more tasks that need help with—"

"I'm not just going there for fun!" With the holiday about to end, he said, "Big brother, wait a minute."

Chu Ming ran out and pulled out a few sheets of paper from a pile of documents he had compiled that morning, bringing them into the office.

"Twenty years ago, the Shadow Planner Ye Caisan and his men robbed a bank of 400 million yuan. Brother, look at the person who published this news in the newspaper."

"The signature is from Dai Furukawa? I see, so you were able to get that 400 million?"

"Yes! I think I can do it. I'm destined to have these four hundred million." Chu Ming smiled like a little fox.

Chapter 183 you jump! I jump

Chu Ming boarded the ship with an old banknote. He presented it at the same time as the last person, and since the ship was only serving ten people, including Chu Ming, it exceeded the limit.

After calling the event organizer, the captain finally allowed the two of them to board the ship together.

"Brother Chu Ming, what are you doing here?" Conan turned around and spotted Chu Ming standing at the registration desk.

"Hey, Conan? You guys are also going to Ogasawara to see the dolphin show?"

"Yes~ Sister Xiaolan said she wants to go see it."

"Why are you the only one here? Where are Uncle and Xiaolan?"

"Look, right there, Uncle ran into a former colleague from when he was a policeman. The two of them are catching up."

Just as Conan and Chu Ming were chatting, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline suddenly walked past them. Chu Ming stared at the seal that the man was intentionally or unintentionally showing on his hand and lowered his eyes slightly.

The man with the bald patch walked up to Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Samezaki, holding up the stamp in his hand: "Excuse me..."

Seeing only innocent confusion on their faces, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I think I mistook you for someone else."

Then he hurriedly stuffed the stamp into his pocket and prepared to leave.

As a result, while inserting the stamp, it accidentally slipped off the edge of the pocket.

Taking advantage of his long legs, Chu Ming walked over in a few steps, picked up the seal, gently rubbed it a few times with his fingers, and quickly caught up with the man.

"Sir, you've dropped something."

"Ah, thank you." The man took the stamp and quickly walked out.

Chu Ming pressed Conan's head down: "Come on, shall we go for a walk on the deck?"

"Uh-huh."

Birds circled in the distance, their wings brushing against the setting sun. On the deck, the entire sea was bathed in golden light.

Xiao Lan stood on the deck with her arms outstretched, shouting into the distance, "I'm the King of the world!!"

Chu Ming had also run over to shout, but since Xiao Lan had already finished shouting, he felt it wouldn't be right to shout after her.

"It feels so good to shout it out, Brother Chu Ming, do you want to shout too? I'll give you my seat!" Xiao Lan saw Chu Ming following her and considerately gave up her seat.

Chu Ming thought for a moment, then lifted Conan off the stool and held him up in front of him like he was holding a turtle: "Conan! You jump! I jump!"

Conan, his limbs hanging limply at his sides, looked utterly speechless: "Brother Chu Ming, put me down quickly—"

Chu Ming casually put Conan down: "This feeling is really nice, Conan, do you want to try it?"

"No, no—"

----------------

After finishing dinner, Chu Ming waved to the others, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm going back to catch up on some sleep now~"

Back in his cabin, Chu Ming took out his computer from the system inventory. Luckily, he was used to keeping a laptop in his system backpack as a backup.

Just as he was having dinner, Gin suddenly called him and asked if he could go back now. After learning that the ship he was on had already set sail, he asked Chu Ming to provide remote support via computer.

Chu Ming took out his earphones and plugged them in: "Big brother, what are the mission details?"

"After infiltrating the former hotel, Rum's team found out that there was a drug deal between the top-floor mud conference and an American laboratory today, and that the organization also needs that drug."

"Okay, brother, wait a moment, I'll hack into their surveillance first."

“Vermouth infiltrated while I provided backup outside. I originally wanted Vodka to come in with me to provide support, but he was too clumsy and not suitable.”

Before Gin could finish speaking, Chu Ming understood: "Don't worry, big brother, I've already connected our headsets to the unified system. I'll make the arrangements from here on out."

"Ah."

"Sister, go 150 meters to your right, 70 degrees directly in front of you. I just saw a helper who can assist you. Give him a pair of headphones."

"Huh? Who?" Vermouth, dressed in a waitress's uniform, moved her lips slightly.

"Bourbon, he must be working here. Tsk tsk, poor thing."

Following Chu Ming's directions, Vermouth successfully spotted Bourbon carrying a tray in the crowd.

As I passed by him, I slipped a pair of headphones into his hand.

Bourbon paused for a moment, then put the earphones in his ears and, sure enough, heard Chu Ming's deliberately disguised voice.

"Bourbon, it's me, Granburg. I just happened to run into you. You can help cover for me on this mission."

Chu Ming didn't give Amuro Tooru a chance to refuse or a time to react, and directly gave the order.

“Bourbon, do you see that American at a 45-degree angle to your right? Use whatever means necessary to stall him. Vermouth, go to his room now, room 1509, there's no guard at the door.”

Amuro Tooru was full of questions. He only knew from the Public Security Bureau's intelligence that there was a gang operating in this area, so he applied for a part-time job as a waiter to come and take a look.
