Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Chu Ming remembered that the person who truly represented the tenth person in the story was an athlete, and he was also the person the murderer really wanted to kill.

If Conan hadn't stopped him, the plane would have crashed and he would have been smashed to pieces.

The plane explosion wouldn't leave him with any magnetic field, so he might as well work with Conan to rescue the people and gain some reputation.

So Chu Ming kicked Conan and pointed to the autographed poster of Tsuji Hiroki on the table: "Isn't that person's name 'ten'? Isn't that more obvious than mine? The one taken from my name is too far-fetched."

Ran quickly picked up the phone and called Hiroki Tsuji, but his maid answered, saying that Hiroki had gone to the heliport half an hour earlier.

Ran called Inspector Megure again, and then the group hurriedly drove to the heliport in Chu Ming's car.

When Chu Ming arrived, Tsuji Hiroki had already been stopped by Inspector Megure and the others. However, Tsuji Hiroki said that he did not believe in evil and that he had to do what he wanted to do. He was determined to fly this helicopter today!

—He even invited Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri to sit together, and Inspector Megure actually agreed…

? ? ? ?

Chu Ming watched this incredible development. He could be attacked at any moment! Even if it was difficult to attack him because he was piloting the helicopter in the air, couldn't he have attacked the helicopter itself or some other part of it?

Why were you all so comfortable boarding this helicopter? What if the killer loosened some part of the helicopter...?

Chu Ming grabbed a helmet from the side and put it on Conan's head, then pushed him onto the helicopter: "I remember you learned to fly helicopters in Hawaii. Remember to cover me if there's any trouble."

Conan grabbed him: "Brother Chu Ming, aren't you coming up?"

"?" Chu Ming looked completely innocent. "Why would I go up there? You're enough."

Conan smiled innocently, but suddenly pulled hard on his hand, preparing to yank the person upwards.

—Chu Ming remained completely still.

"Hurry up and go up, or you won't be able to get up there once Inspector Megure and the others realize what's happening." Chu Ming couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Conan, whose face was red from straining.

"Please, Brother Chu Ming, I'm scared to be alone~" Conan said in a high-pitched, soft voice, which gave Chu Ming goosebumps.

In the end, Conan's shamelessness successfully disgusted Chu Ming, leading him to the plane.

While Kogoro Mori was sitting in the helicopter, looking ashen-faced, Chu Ming and Conan stuck their heads out from the empty space in front of them to laugh at him.

"What's wrong with you two?! Shouldn't you be down there with Ran?" Kogoro Mouri looked at Chu Ming with a reproachful gaze, as if to say, "Have you been corrupted by Conan?"

Chu Ming looked completely innocent, but his hand was secretly poking Conan out of Kogoro Mouri's sight, signaling him to try to get by by being cute.

"I've never been in a real helicopter before, I'm just curious~" Conan, as Chu Ming expected, blinked his eyes and looked pitifully at Inspector Megure.

"..." Inspector Megure seemed to be charmed by Conan, and his tense expression subsided. "Then be careful. Chu Ming, hold Conan tight and don't let him fall."

Chu Ming nodded and picked up Conan, who had slumped to the back, and placed him on his lap.

Kogoro Mouri gripped the chair tightly, his panic driving him to yell at Conan, "Conan! If you mess around, I'll throw you off—ah—"

The plane suddenly swooped down, startling Kogoro Mouri so much that he didn't say a word, but instead screamed with his eyes closed.

Hiroki Tsuji removed his hand from the steering lever, winked at Conan, and Chu Ming, looking at Kogoro Mouri screaming his lungs out behind him, couldn't help but mentally draw the sign of the cross for him. Poor guy.

The helicopter had just flown over Mikasa, and the clouds in the sky were gradually dissipating when Tsuji Hiroki suddenly reached out and covered his eyes: "Ah—!!"

The plane began to shake violently, and Inspector Megure gripped the handle anxiously, asking, "What's wrong, Mr. Hiroki?"

"My eyes, I can't open my eyes!"

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri huddled together: "Hey Kogoro, um—can you fly a plane?"

Kogoro Mori huddled in Inspector Megure's arms, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless: "I don't even dare to open my eyes, how could I possibly open something like this?!"

Seeing the plane veering further to the right, Conan gritted his teeth and prepared to get off Chu Ming, whispering, "Brother Chu Ming, let me—"

"Forget it, your legs are too short, let me do it."

Chu Ming unbuckled the seatbelt with one hand and placed Conan on the chair, while using the other hand to pull Tsuji Hiroki to the back seat.

"Chu Ming?" Inspector Megure instinctively took the person from him. "What's this—"

Just a few days ago, Gin had taken him to fly an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, so it shouldn't be too difficult: "I can fly it, but I don't know where to stop. Conan, help me see if there's a suitable place nearby for an emergency landing."

Conan jumped off his seat, stood on tiptoe, and peered out, asking, "Brother Chuming, is the school playground okay? Teitan Elementary School is just ahead."

"It's possible, but there are too many people on the playground, and it's easy for an accident to happen." Chu Ming skillfully operated the helicopter.

Conan pulled out his detective badge from his side: "Brother Chuming, drive down a bit, I'll contact Genta and the others to disperse the crowd."

"Tell them not to cause panic and lead to a stampede."

"Yuanta—Yuanta—can you hear me? Quickly disperse the crowd on the playground. Brother Chuming wants the helicopter to make an emergency landing on the playground."

Upon hearing Chu Ming's name, the children in the Junior Detective Club exchanged bewildered glances, stiffly raised their heads to look at the clearly marked helicopter, and screamed in fright.

"Run! Run! The Great Demon King's helicopter is about to crash!"

In just a few dozen seconds, the playground went from being bustling with noise to completely silent...

Chapter 219 Crow’s Mouth

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes upon hearing the roar coming from the Conan Detective Badge.

What jinxing, what plane crash? Pshaw, kids say whatever comes to mind!

Chu Ming pressed hard on the pedals while controlling the joystick, but the school playground was not a professional helipad. There were too many buildings around, and the downdraft caused by the plane's descent made the entire helicopter shake constantly. At the moment of landing, the airflow lifted the plane up and then crashed it down, with the entire wing and tail slamming into the ground.

The helicopter bounced twice on the ground like a dying fish. Chu Ming flung open the helicopter door and jumped out with Conan. Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri also helped Hiroki Tsuji out.

"Brother Chu Ming, Uncle, hurry up, the fuel is leaking!" Conan turned around unintentionally and found that the ground was covered with leaked oil.

Chu Ming's pupils contracted slightly, and without thinking, he picked up Conan and ran forward.

The plane exploded, shattering the windows of surrounding buildings from the shockwave.

Chu Ming held Conan in his arms and stood in a safe place, looking at Teitan Elementary School, which looked like a tornado had swept through it, and then at Conan, who was nestled obediently in his arms.

Is this the legendary "I'm going to blow up the school"? Conan has helped all the kids realize their childhood dreams!

Looking at the children slowly gathering around, their faces were full of joy, showing no sadness at the bombing of the school. In the end, the principal shouldered all the blame.

—And there's Hiroki Tsuji.

There was a hint of sadness on his face: "This helicopter is very expensive. Just the maintenance of the wings alone costs me tens of millions a year..."

Inspector Megure offered a half-hearted consolation: "At least you're alive. Isn't that worth more than a lot of helicopters?"

Officer Shiratori arrived at the scene quickly with an ambulance, took Hiroki Tsuji to the hospital, and also took away his eye drops.

"Conan, why did you get off a helicopter? Was it fun riding in a helicopter?"

Genta pulled Conan aside and whispered something.

"Yeah, yeah, Conan is so cunning. He didn't even call us to come along for something like this. This is a helicopter ride! Have you ever touched the control panel before?" Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up.

……

Conan was surrounded by several children, a smug and boastful smile on his face, looking no different from a seven or eight-year-old.

If he had acted like a completely natural child in front of Vermouth that day, even with Vermouth's keen eyesight, she probably wouldn't have noticed the flaw.

After returning to the ground, Kogoro Mouri was still in shock. He grabbed Inspector Megure's hand, speechless and choked with emotion, unable to recover for a long time.

In the end, it was Chu Ming who took all the adults and children to the hospital; otherwise, they could have stood on the playground forever.

The police have determined that someone deliberately replaced Tsuji Hiroki's eye drops with pupil dilators. Although Chu Ming doesn't understand why someone would go to such lengths to kill someone, like planting a bomb on a helicopter, and killing everyone who went up there today.

See? All those fancy tricks you tried, and Conan stopped you!

Takagi rushed in holding a ten of spades. Based on this playing card, it can be determined that the next victim will definitely be someone with a nine.

Nine? Hmm?

Gin, danger.

Of course, Kogoro Mouri doesn't know Gin, and if the next victim is indeed Gin, it's unclear who will be more unlucky.

"...Okay, let's go!"

"Where to?" Chu Ming had only been lost in thought for a moment when Inspector Megure was already announcing that they were ready to depart.

"The uncle just thought of the person with the number eight, so we're going to go check that out."

Chu Ming nodded: "You guys go ahead. I'm going to Water Crystal later. It's a newly opened marine entertainment restaurant in Tokyo Bay. It's very innovative. I'll go take a look and learn from its experience. I also need to expand my family's business a bit."

After saying goodbye to the group, Chu Ming drove straight to the Water Crystal. As soon as he entered, he looked up at the magnificent building and couldn't help but marvel at it.

He listened to Rum's words. He did indeed lack connections at this stage. Not only connections, but everything he had now depended on the organization. He didn't even have his own business. He really came here with the intention of learning from others.

But despite his pilgrimage to the West, in the world of Detective Conan, he would never build such a magnificent building!

Because any new building that appears is destined to be blown up.

With a boom, one was crippled; with a boom, one was rendered useless; with a boom, one was gone.

Hmm, physical industries are always worried about being targeted by Conan, so why doesn't he try his hand at virtual industries?

Software-related?

Wouldn't it be great to have a QQ or WeChat?

Chu Ming kept this in mind and planned to put it on the agenda. He would discuss it with his boss later to see if he could transfer a software company to his name.

Boarding the cable car to the restaurant offers a panoramic view of the entire establishment. The cable car glides suspended in the air, with a corner of Tokyo Bay below, where tiny white waves gently ripple.

After getting off the cable car, you need to transfer to an elevator to go underground.
