Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

"I know, Brother Chu Ming. I promise I won't act impulsively. By the way, when Teacher Judy was playing video games and shooting guns at the amusement park today, I noticed that there were slight marks on the crease between her thumb and forefinger, as well as on both sides of her forefinger. It seems that she had calluses before and had them removed with medication recently. The calluses in these two places indicate that she handles guns frequently. My dad told me this when I was in Hawaii. Brother Chu Ming, you have to be careful."

"Okay, don't worry. Be more discreet at crime scenes lately, and it's best not to stand out. Also, it's best not to use any tranquilizer darts. Here's what you'll do: keep the earring-shaped phone the doctor gave you. If there are any cases during this period, just call me and ask me to come over." Collecting some magnetic field and helping you solve cases at the same time, how wonderful.

Conan knew the seriousness of the matter. What he cared about was not his own fame, but the sense of accomplishment he would feel when he solved the mystery, so he obediently agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ming sat on the sofa and carefully considered Judy's intention in asking him about his purpose.

He went to play video games today. Even when he was boxing, he was always careful not to reveal any murderous intent. Even if he felt that his skills were lacking, he shouldn't have gone to the point of asking Xiaolan for advice...

Chu Ming's eyes lit up. That's it! The garden party must have been noticed by Judy during his brief conversation with Shinichiro.

Hiss—so Vermouth has been exposed?

No, that can't be that fast. This isn't Vermouth's ability. I just don't know if she deliberately revealed her identity to protect Conan or if she's luring the enemy out.

Chu Ming took out his phone, intending to call Vermouth, but then decided against it.

Regardless of what Vermouth is thinking, she can't possibly be caught off guard. Jodie alone can't do anything to her unless Shuichi Akai also shows up.

Even if Shuichi Akai really does appear, that would be even better. He's been waiting for Shuichi Akai!

He had previously focused all his points on sniping, waiting for this day to face off against Shuichi Akai.

Shuichi Akai doesn't have any strange buffs, so he can't be used as a tool. Let him be a small monster on his path to becoming the boss of the organization.

When the time comes, grab him and send him to Rum, brainwash him, and wow, Red loses 1, Black gains 1. Isn't this a huge buff for Black?

Once things are temporarily settled with Shuichi Akai, Chu Ming thinks he should acquire a film and television company to produce some gangster dramas and promote the organization to the public.

Similar to the "Young and Dangerous" movies of yesteryear, many people were attracted to those gangsters, thinking they were cool and handsome, and some even went down a path of no return, which also reflects the importance of controlling public opinion.

If we cast a few good-looking young actors to star in shows like "The Domineering Gin Falls in Love with Me," "Uncle Rum's Forced Love," "The Cunning Bourbon's Little Darling," "The Organization Boss's Substitute Canary," "Rye Will Love You in My Place," "Becoming Vodka's Beloved," "The Laffitte Story," "The Temptation of Returning to the Distillery," and so on, there will definitely be a lot of people who will flock to the organization because of their good looks...

Thinking of this, Chu Ming took out his computer and looked at his dark web backend. After the story of Kotoko from the winery was finished, new stories have been updated and are now nearing their end.

The new novel tells the story of the Shogunate era, when the Emperor's regime existed in name only, the Shogun General Ura no Kō, who was fighting on foreign campaigns, and the wives in the harem vying for power (favor).

The story is roughly about Bozi, a palace maid who has just been selected to serve in the harem. Kind and gentle, she is like a beautiful flower blooming on a branch. She is envied and framed by other palace maids. In the end, the death of her friend makes her turn completely evil and transform into Niohuru Bozi. She overcomes all obstacles and slowly climbs up the ranks from a palace maid.

She was framed by Yoshiko, but she was ruthless and cleared her name without hesitation, and also completely removed Yoshiko from her position as a clerk.

The lady-in-waiting, Kimi, mocked her for being ugly, talentless, and immoral. On the spot, Namiko performed a dance called "Ura-no-kō" (a type of dance), which amazed everyone present.

Consort Lanzi accused Bozi of having an affair and committing an unforgivable crime of defilement in the harem to General Wu. After Bozi presented evidence to prove her innocence, she planned to express her dissatisfaction by committing suicide, but was stopped by the general, who said that he would always believe in her and banished Lanzi to the Cold Palace.

Fei Langzi was jealous of Bozi's favor with the emperor, so she put a border defense layout map in Bozi's room and falsely accused him of being a spy from an enemy country. General Wu was furious and, refusing to listen to Bozi's explanation, banished him to the cold palace. In the cold palace, Lanzi had already been living there, and she was constantly bullying and exploiting Bozi.

During the time when Bozi was banished to the cold palace, a sycophant sent the general a foreign dancer named Qinzi. With silver hair and green eyes, she was particularly charming. From then on, the general had a new favorite, Qinzi. He doted on Qinzi even more than on Bozi. In the days when Qinzi was by his side, the general completely forgot that there was a Bozi in the cold palace who was longing for him to clear her name.

Bozi spent her days in tears in the cold palace. Her new friend Xiuzi secretly sneaked into the cold palace and said that she was going to help Bozi and asked her to escape from the general's mansion first. She would help her.

Bozi believed her, packed her luggage, and prepared to run away following the map Xiuzi had given her.

However, Hideko did not genuinely want to help Namiko; she only wanted to use this opportunity to inform on Namiko and then get close to the general, becoming his woman.

Bozi was caught and brought back before she could get very far. She knelt on the ground and looked at Xiuzi, who was sitting on the throne in front of her, leaning against General Wu. She was filled with resentment and finally let go of her last bit of feelings for the general.

She secretly vowed to herself that she would become a person above all others, a woman in the general's mansion who was second only to the general himself.

However, neither the new favorite Kotoko, nor Hideko who was trying to attract the general's attention, nor Boko who was determined to return to her peak, knew that General Wu had always had a white moonlight in his heart, which was the general's legal wife - Beizi.

…………

Chu Ming would start writing this novel when he was feeling down, and he would feel much better after finishing it.

Indeed, melodramatic storylines are the most stress-relieving!

Chapter 232 Someone Wants to Buy Gin's Car?

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

"My God, someone actually dared to say they wanted to buy Gin's car right in front of his face!"

"Hahaha, why didn't the older brother kill him on the spot?"

"They even wanted to track us to the base? How brave of them."

Chu Ming and Lafitte were laughing like idiots on the sofa. Chu Ming rolled around while laughing, and accidentally pressed down on Lafitte's long hair. Lafitte lifted him off the sofa, and then the two of them started kicking each other on the sofa like cats fighting.

Relying on his superior fighting skills, Chu Ming was able to exchange kicks with Lafitte while simultaneously communicating with Vodka.

"And then what? And then what? That person is so clueless, how could they say something like that when they saw Big Brother's imposing presence?"

Vodka glanced at Gin's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and then at Chu Ming and Lafitte, who were eagerly waiting for him to continue. He wondered whether he should continue speaking.

Laffitte was almost kicked off the sofa by Chu Ming. After assessing the situation, he realized that he might not be able to beat Chu Ming, so he reluctantly turned over to the other side of the sofa, crossed his legs, and assumed a gossiping posture, while staring intently at Vodka.

"That was it. My brother told me not to kill him, since we were in a busy downtown area. In the end, the man forced a business card into my hand and left, saying that I could contact him anytime if I changed my mind."

"A business card? Let me see, let me see." Chu Ming became interested and moved closer to Vodka.

Vodka rummaged around for a while and finally pulled out a crumpled business card, which he handed to Chu Ming.

"Didn't I tell you to remember the name and then throw it away?" Gin impatiently pulled out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

"I was going to write it down when I got back, so I didn't throw it away yet." Vodka scratched his head sheepishly.

"Why write it down? Gin, you really want to sell the car? Then sell it to me! I've been eyeing your car for ages!" Lafitte perked up, sitting up straight with excitement in his eyes.

Gin, a cigarette dangling from his lips, sneered at Lafitte's gleaming eyes, "Would you trade your life for it?"

Chu Ming shoved aside the instantly dejected Lafitte and took the business card: "You don't understand, do you? Big Brother had Vodka write this down because he wanted to secretly kill this guy who dared to offend his car later. Right, Big Brother?"

Gin scoffed lightly but did not refute, clearly acknowledging the situation.

"Teizumi Daigo?" Chu Ming tossed the business card onto the coffee table. "Dare to covet Big Brother's beloved car? You're courting death! Leave this to me!"

Listening to Chu Ming's sarcastic remarks, Lafitte rolled his eyes subtly and put his hands in his pockets: "Sycophant."

"Huh?" Chu Ming vaguely heard Lafitte muttering about him, and promptly complained, "Big brother, Lafitte said your car is old and worn out, and even mocked you for being an old-fashioned violent maniac!"

Vodka, who witnessed the whole thing: How did you extract so much irrelevant information from just three words?

Gin listened to these blatant lies and had no interest in getting involved in their childish lawsuit.

"Then let Lafitte go with you on this mission." You two can fight it out yourselves.

Leaving Lafitte in the lobby, Chu Ming followed Gin into the office and got straight to the point: "Big brother, is Lafitte trustworthy?"

Gin paused in his tracks: "You suspect he's an undercover agent?"

Chu Ming said angrily, "No, I was just asking. If it's believable, I won't bother with the disguise. He'll laugh at my poor disguise skills if he sees me."

“Believe it.” Gin, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, sneered as if he had just thought of something. “Don’t let his idiotic behavior fool you. He and Vermouth are from the same era, and both of them are considered the BOSS’s confidants. If he weren’t so lazy and couldn’t beat me, he would be the leader of this action group.”

? ? ? ?

Chu Ming's eyes widened.

Lafitte looks like a sage, but he's actually an old man?

Did he and Vermouth take some kind of elixir of immortality? Neither of them looks old.

Seeing Chu Ming looking at him with a thirst for knowledge, Gin simply sat down in the chair and gave him a lesson: "Do you know Rob Rex, the world-renowned neurosurgeon?"

Chu Ming, who had never heard of him before, chimed in for Gin: "Ah, that famous neurosurgeon!"

Gin nodded: "Like Vermouth, after Sharon Vineyard's 'death,' Vermouth claimed to be Sharon's daughter, Chris Vineyard. Lafitte also claimed to be Rob Rex's protégé, Watanabe Wada, after Rob Rex's 'death,' and then used this identity to become famous in the American medical community. Because of his familiarity with the human body, he was the one who conducted all the interrogations of undercover agents."

Gin took a drag of his cigarette: "Don't let his seemingly smug appearance fool you; you haven't seen what he's like during interrogations."

Gin lowered his eyes slightly, recalling the first time he saw Laffitte being interrogated. Back then, Laffitte liked to present himself in front of others, aloof and unapproachable, but in the interrogation room, he was like a fallen god sitting high on a cloud. Even Gin was shocked by the interrogation methods he used.

Chu Ming pondered to himself, "So the reason he could see through my disguise wasn't because I was bad at it, but because he and my sister were so familiar with each other that he could spot the problem at a glance."

After I've told you all this, all you're thinking about is him seeing through your disguise at a glance?

Gin waved his hand and kicked Chu Ming out. This kid is hopeless. He should just go and team up with Lafitte to torment each other.

Seeing Lafitte sitting on the sofa with his back to him, Chu Ming tiptoed over, aimed at the person on the sofa, and suddenly pounced on his back.

In mid-air, Chu Ming's expression changed drastically. He suddenly tilted his head to the side, twisted his waist forcefully just before reaching the ground, and fell onto the carpet in an awkward position.

Looking at the scalpel still trembling slightly at the end on the wall behind him, and then at Lafitte's ambiguous smile, Chu Ming angrily got up: "I just wanted to scare you, but you wanted to kill me. Has our camaraderie disappeared?"

Lafitte twirled the scalpel in his hand and said casually, "If you were a real girl, I would have waited for you to pounce on me without moving. But you, a stinky man, why are you jumping on my back? Love? What love? There was never any. There was only your deception between us! Do you have some inappropriate thoughts about me?"

"??? Pah! You're too old for that. Don't even think about hooking up with a young girl like me. You're an old man who still wants a girl. I don't even have one, so you're even less likely to! You'll stay single forever!!"

Vodka stood upstairs, watching the two human-shaped huskies, who had started arguing and then began fighting and tearing apart the base, wondering if he should go downstairs. If he did...

—These two unscrupulous people are definitely using him as a human shield!

Chapter 233 Lafitte is a pig

"Grandpa, are you awake? Get up quickly, the sun's already high in the sky, we need to go do our mission!"

Chu Ming originally planned to go to Lafitte's door early in the morning, around 5 a.m., but his strength didn't allow it. He slept until late morning and didn't open his eyes until after 11 a.m.

"What are you knocking for? What old man? You—" After a while, Lafitte yanked open the door in annoyance, stared at Chu Ming's undisguised face for two seconds, and asked, "Why aren't you disguised today?"

"You've disguised yourself, haven't you? Your skills have improved today, haven't you? You didn't notice this time, did you?" Chu Ming turned his head upwards, stood on tiptoe, and prepared to look down at Lafitte with his nostrils to show his contempt.

Despite being in his pajamas, Lafitte pulled out a scalpel from somewhere: "Whether I've disguised myself or not, let me cut me open and see."

Then, grinning maliciously, he chased Chu Ming all over the base, brandishing a scalpel.

He fled, he chased, but Vodka had no chance to escape.
