Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Where did Granbury go?

Could it be that the organization is planning to target these celebrities?

No, no way...

Vodka's mind was filled with wild thoughts. He wanted to call Chu Ming, but he didn't dare. He had been so frightened by Chu Ming before that he was still hesitant to contact him.

Chu Ming sat on the sofa, feeling drowsy. Even though he had slept almost all day, he was still very sleepy when he sat there, bored.

Kogoro Mouri's loud exclamations rang out, and Chu Ming peeked out to see that Yoko Okino and the others were all dressed in the outfits they wore when the group was first formed, looking adorable.

Chu Ming naturally wouldn't let this news slip by. While chatting with Kogoro Mouri, he secretly took various photos using the system camera.

Just as everyone had finished changing their clothes, the manager was about to call Kusano Kaoru, who was taking a bath, but when he returned, he said that he had knocked on the door several times, but no one answered.

"They must have had a fight. I'll go check on them."

Kenzaki Osamu stood up, preparing to try and persuade her.

Conan followed them out the door, only to find a trail of blood on the ground that snaked all the way to the front door.

He rushed towards the bathroom and shouted to Kenzaki Osamu, who was knocking on the door, "Mr. Kenzaki, hurry up and get in!!"

Kenzaki Osamu felt a little embarrassed. Although she was his fiancée, was it really appropriate to just walk in like that?

He nervously tugged at the hem of his shirt, "This...this isn't..."

Conan, remembering the trail of blood, disregarded his embarrassment and urged impatiently, "Hurry up!!"

"Okay, okay." Kenzaki Osamu pressed the handle and entered the door, but froze on the spot.

Conan was about to follow them inside when someone tugged at his clothes. He turned around and saw Chu Ming.

Chu Ming looked at him with full disapproval: "Miss Kusano is taking a bath. It's one thing for her fiancé to go in, but what do you want to do? Stay outside quietly!!"

Chapter 288 A Little Green

Conan struggled in Chu Ming's grasp: "I just felt something was wrong! I found a trail of blood at the door! Brother Chu Ming, let me go!"

Chu Ming didn't sense any magnetic field, so he forcibly grabbed Conan and whispered to him, "If you dare to go in, I'll tell Ran-neechan. What do you think you're doing barging into the girls' bathroom at such a young age? Do you really think you're a child? Wait until Kenzaki-san sees that she's his fiancée."

After speaking, he raised his voice slightly: "Mr. Kenzaki, what's wrong with Ms. Kusano?"

"She...she was covered in blood, lying by the bathtub..."

???

“Mr. Kenzaki, pick up Miss Kusano and check if she still has a pulse.”

Kenzaki Osamu was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to look. He looked around and saw a bath towel next to him. Just as he picked up the towel to wrap it around her, several people from the next room heard the noise and ran over: "What's wrong? What happened to Kaoru?"

Under the dumbfounded gazes of Chu Ming and Conan, the manager who had just knocked on the door pushed his way through everyone in front of him, including Kenzaki Osamu standing at the door, and rushed straight into the bathroom.

? ? ? ?

No, her fiancé is still there, what you're doing... isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Chu Ming couldn't contain his curiosity and stole a glance, only to see his manager step into the bathtub and immediately reach out to hug... cough cough...

Chu Ming secretly glanced at Kenzaki Osamu's head. Didn't he notice the green light on his head? Why wasn't he reacting?

For a long while, the agent was still holding the woman and crying incessantly, while the real fiancé just stood there like a statue, watching another man embrace his fiancée who was taking a shower...

Chu Ming coldly reminded him: "Although the manager is very sad, I still want to say... if you don't take Miss Kusano to the hospital soon, you'll probably only be able to cry at her grave."

"To the hospital?" The group was stunned for a moment before realizing that Kusano Kaoru was still breathing faintly. They quickly dialed the emergency number and draped a towel over her.

Because Conan was searching for clues everywhere, and Ran was looking for Conan. Kogoro Mouri was busy comforting Yoko, and the others were all celebrities and it wasn't appropriate for them to go downstairs and show their faces, so the task of going downstairs to pick up Inspector Megure fell to Chu Ming.

After finally seeing Inspector Megure, Chu Ming waved to him from afar, saying, "Inspector Megure, over here!"

"Brother Chu Ming, it's you again—" Inspector Megure sighed deeply, seemingly despairing that there were so many scoundrels in his jurisdiction.

Seeing that something was wrong, Chu Ming quickly said, "Uncle Mori asked me to come down and pick you up. Inspector Megure, please come with me."

"Oh, it's Mouri, thank goodness." Inspector Megure muttered to himself, then said seriously, "You didn't explain things clearly on the phone, what exactly happened?"

"The victim, Kusano Kaoru, had her throat slit while she was taking a shower. She has just been taken away by an ambulance." Chu Ming's words were concise and to the point, exactly the same as what he had said on the phone.

"..." Inspector Megure was speechless. "This apartment is quite upscale. I didn't expect the victim to be so rich. Was she the daughter of some chaebol?"

Takagi's eyes widened: "Inspector Megure, don't you know Kusano Kaoru? She's from the Earth Ladies' Team!! She's really famous!!"

Inspector Megure, who doesn't follow celebrities at all, looked completely bewildered: "Earth Lady? What's that?"

Inspector Megure rang the doorbell, and the strangely dressed young women who entered made him momentarily stunned: "Uh, did I go to the wrong place?"

Kogoro Mouri quickly stood up: "No, no, Inspector Megure, this is it! You've finally arrived!"

Looking at the several big stars, Takagi's heart pounded. His face flushed, he turned away, clenching his fists to control his emotions: "So many big stars!! Oh my god!!"

Chu Ming moved closer to him, his gaze deep and unsettling: "Why are you blushing like a teapot? Don't you like Officer Sato?"

Takagi's face instantly turned bright red, and she stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence: "I...that...it wasn't...I...I..."

Inspector Megure appeared beside him without him noticing and shouted in his ear, "Takagi, buddy, here to take notes!!"

He then seemed to wake from a dream, and pulled out his notebook to follow Inspector Megure inside.

Inspector Megure looked at the people at the scene and said in a deep voice, "When Ms. Kusano went into the bathroom to take a shower, the three of you went into the toilet one after another to change clothes, in the order of Ms. Okino, Ms. Takeno, and Ms. Hoshino. After you finished changing, your manager, Mr. Makoto, went to the bathroom to call her but did not receive a response. That's when her fiancé knocked on the door and found her with her throat slit in the bathroom."

Inspector Megure stared at Kogoro Mouri and continued, "And then there's this guy who brings misfortune wherever he goes, and who's already showing symptoms of human-to-human transmission..."

Kogoro Mouri was very dissatisfied: "Inspector Megure, look at what you're saying, you're making me sound like a plague. I only happened to be here because of Ms. Yoko's invitation."

Inspector Megure chuckled: "I don't think it's a coincidence; you're just cursed. If I hadn't known you for a long time and understood your character, and if I didn't see you at every murder scene, I would have suspected you."

"Hahaha, Inspector Megure, you're really good at joking, hahaha." Kogoro Mouri chuckled dryly.

Chu Ming pointed to the raincoat stained with blood at the door: "This was seen at the door after the ambulance arrived. The bloodstains stretched all the way to the door, but they weren't stepped on. Someone must have deliberately dripped them here."

"You mean the murderer is the person inside the room?" Inspector Megure frowned.

Chu Ming nodded frankly: "Yes, that's what I think too."

Kenzaki Osamu retorted, "But Kaoru received a letter from a stalker before, saying that I would definitely come back, that I would come back even if it meant death, etc. Doesn't that prove that it was done by someone from the outside world?"

So the murderer is Grey Wolf? (No)

Just as Inspector Megure was about to press for more information, the phone rang. It was Kusano's manager calling, saying that Kusano Kaoru was out of danger and would wake up in a few hours.

Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief: "Then we'll know who the culprit is when Ms. Kusano wakes up."

Yue Yexue's expression changed slightly. She got up and went to the kitchen, saying she wanted a glass of water.

Chu Ming looked at her hand and silently lowered his eyes. Miss Yue Ye's right thumb nail had changed. When she first came in, her nail art was drawn by herself. Now the nail was slightly higher, which was the effect after applying nail extensions.

So, the murder weapon was her fingernail?

There's no way to find out the murder weapon... Oh well, since Kusano Kaoru isn't dead anyway, she'll identify the murderer when she wakes up. It seems like it won't be his turn to take action this time.

Chapter 289 Poster

Just as he leaned back on the sofa, ready to give up completely, Conan suddenly ran out of the tightly closed room.

"Brother Chu Ming, quick, come here right now! Miss Yue Ye accidentally ingested blood sugar-lowering medication, and her blood sugar has dropped drastically. Call an ambulance immediately!"

Then he quickly rummaged through the kitchen for sugar and a bowl, made some sugar water, ran into the room, and forced the unconscious Yue Ye to drink it. Conan only stopped what he was doing when the ambulance arrived.

Watching Yue Yexue being taken away by the ambulance, Conan walked to Chu Ming's side and whispered sadly, "This is truly a tragedy caused by a complete misunderstanding... If only they could have sat down and talked it over properly, they wouldn't have done something so foolish after the flowers bloomed."

Chu Ming nodded: "Yes, this room was filled with arrows of love just now. Miss Yueye likes Mr. Kenzaki, and Mr. Kenzaki also has feelings for her, but because of Miss Kusano's request, he pretended to marry her to provoke Manager Makuma, and Manager Makuma was indeed provoked. So Makuma and Kusano are a two-way street; Kenzaki and Yueye are a two-way street; and Miss Hoshino..."

Chu Ming's gaze swept over Conan, and he raised an eyebrow at him: "You know what? I just saw a photo in Ms. Hoshino's wallet. It was very well preserved. Didn't she just say that she's fallen for a detective? Guess who it is?"

Conan was momentarily confused: "Could it be Hattori?"

Chu Ming rolled his eyes: "Do you think I would tease you if it were Hattori?"

Conan, his face filled with terror, exclaimed, "It's me???"

Chu Ming nodded: "Yes, great detective, the person she has a crush on is your alter ego—Shinichi Kudo. Add to that your mutual attraction with Ran, wouldn't you say there were a lot of love arrows flying around the room just now?"

"...Brother Chu Ming, you're so boring." Conan was afraid that Ran would hear him, so he quickly ran over and pulled Ran away so that he could give Chu Ming one last look of contempt.

Because of Conan's arrival at this engagement party, half of the Earth Ladies Team members ended up in the hospital, a truly heartbreaking sight.

After leaving, Chu Ming went directly to the base and ran into Vodka. While Gin was training in the underground training ground, he secretly handed Vodka a stack of rolled-up paper rolls.

Vodka held the rolled-up paper, his hands trembling slightly: "Granbury, what... what is this? I... this..."

Is it some kind of prank prop again?

"Open it and take a look." Chu Ming gestured for him to unfold the paper roll and examine it.

Vodka shakily unrolled the paper, revealing an enlarged and widened poster of the four members of the Earth Ladies Team, along with their signatures.

! ! ! !

"It's an extremely rare Earth Defense Force cosplay!!! Only two thousand sets were ever released, and I couldn't get one at all!!! Is this really for me?!"

Vodka rarely spoke so much in front of Chu Ming, and his tone was exceptionally dreamy. Even his black clothes couldn't hide his flushed cheeks. He didn't look like a terrorist at all, but rather a nerdy guy in a state of extreme arousal.

Chu Ming looked away, his eyes stinging: "Yesterday, Yoko Okino invited us to Kaoru Kusano's engagement party..."

"Xiao Xun is getting married!!!" Vodka's massive body jumped to his feet, his face filled with panic. "What man is good enough for Xiao Xun? I don't approve of this marriage!"

"Don't get excited, this is a fake engagement. Kusano Kaoru doesn't like Kenzaki Osamu."
