Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

"Hmph, do you think we killed those people yesterday?"

(⊙o⊙)

Chu Ming suddenly remembered the lipstick mark: "Big brother, is that lipstick mark on the mask yours—?"

After all, Gin pulled that lipstick out of his pocket back then.

Gin understood Chu Ming's unspoken message, and a chill ran down his spine. He immediately raised his gun and pressed it against Chu Ming's waist: "Do you want to die?"

Chu Ming quickly changed the subject: "No, no, I won't ask anymore, but brother, if Miyano Akemi dies, what about Sherry—"

“Sherry had better behave herself. If she tries to rebel too, hmph—” Gin slowly sheathed his gun.

Chu Ming always felt that Gin would never understand girls. He was such a clueless guy. Didn't girls need to be coaxed? Every time he saw Sherry, he would give her a murderous look, scaring her since she was a child. Sherry was afraid of him, let alone having a proper conversation with him.

Chu Ming decided to tell the truth: "But given the relationship between Sherry and her sister, once we kill Miyano Akemi, there will be no room for negotiation between Sherry and the organization..."

"Are you trying to plead for her?" Gin's voice turned cold.

"No, whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me. I'm just worried about my brother. What if Sherry goes on strike? My brother will have to worry about her again."

"The organization's gas chambers are not just for show."

"Tch, not for decoration, but for you to scare people," Chu Ming muttered to himself.

The car stopped behind the warehouse, and Chu Ming followed the two men inside.

Soon after, Akemi Miyano arrived.

She gripped the gun tucked in her waistband, as if it would give her strength: "You've come, haven't you? Come out!"

Gin had his hands in his pockets, with Chu Ming and Vodka following behind him. Chu Ming muttered to himself as he walked.

This really looks like a gangster boss with his two bodyguards.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miyano Akemi."

Miyano Akemi turned around and clutched her pocket tightly. Seeing Chu Ming following behind, her eyes flickered: "Why did you kill those two people?"

Gin grinned, and Vodka, seeing Gin smile, also grinned foolishly, leaving Chu Ming alone, unsure whether to laugh or not.

"This is how the organization always operates. Alright, you can hand over the money now."

"The money isn't with me. I've hidden it somewhere else. Where's my sister? Bring her here first. We agreed that if I successfully steal 1 billion yuan, my sister and I will be released from the organization!"

"Hmph, I'm afraid that won't work. Your sister is different from you; she's one of the organization's top researchers, and the organization desperately needs her right now."

"You've been lying to me from the very beginning!" Miyano Akemi exclaimed in disbelief.

Chu Ming was somewhat helpless. This young lady was too naive. Ten billion yuan seemed like a lot, but it was nothing compared to Shirley's value to the organization. Why would she suddenly want to take Shirley away? There was clearly only one way to leave the organization, and that was—to walk away sideways.

Gin, impatient with her continued arguing, simply raised his gun and pointed it at her: "Alright, where's the money? This is your last chance."

Akemi Miyano also raised the gun she had been clutching: "If you kill me, you'll never know where the money is."

"Do you think I didn't know you put your money in the safe? I told you, this is your last chance."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gin pulled the trigger.

Even though the two were facing off with guns drawn, Chu Ming knew that Miyano Akemi had lost the confrontation from the very beginning. She had never killed anyone before, and there was no murderous intent in her eyes as she held the gun, while Gin didn't even blink when he fired...

However, although Gin usually shoots directly at the head and blows it open when he kills, he also showed some mercy to Sherry by shooting Miyano Akemi in the lung.

Unwilling to do something like touching a girl's corpse, which was not in line with his temperament, Chu Ming took a half step back and let Vodka take his place.

Vodka fumbled around for a while, then pulled a key number 27 from Miyano Akemi's pocket and held it up with a grin.

Chu Ming glanced at the glimmer of light clutched tightly in Miyano Akemi's hand, but didn't expose it. He wanted to let Conan have some involvement, since he still needed her to send Conan some messages.

Chapter 28: The box was empty?

In a blind spot of the surveillance camera, a Porsche 356A was parked on the side.

Chu Ming hurriedly ran back with a system face he had casually created, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"Brother, the vodka key is wrong. There's no cash inside, just a note."

Even though the money was right next to him, Chu Ming still wanted to put a bad word to Volt.

Gin took the money and looked at it: "Even if I die, I will never hand over the money to you."

He crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground: "Hmph, even in death you won't be still. Let's go back to base first. Granbury, you stay with the police and see if you can find a chance to take the money."

"it is good."

In the warehouse.

The dim sunlight warmed the whole world. Conan rushed into the warehouse and saw Miyano Akemi curled up on the floor in pain.

"Miss Yamei! Are you alright? I know you came here to meet the mastermind. Damn it, I should have warned you sooner!"

"Conan? Who are you?"

"Edogawa—no, my name is Shinichi Kudo." Conan revealed the truth to the dying Akemi Miyano.

Akemi Miyano's eyes widened.

“I’ve heard of you—” She turned to look at the sky: “I still killed two people, but in the end, I still couldn’t escape the organization’s clutches…”

"organize?"

"It was a massive organization shrouded in mystery, because all I knew from beginning to end was that its color was black..."

Black?! Conan remembered the blow to his back he'd received earlier.

"The people in the organization always wear black clothes and black sunglasses, and everyone uses the name of an alcoholic beverage as a code name—Conan, listen to me, the key they took earlier was a fake. The real key is here, and the money is in the safe east of Beika Station..."

Akemi Miyano's hand fell heavily to the ground; she was dead.

Conan stared blankly at her lifeless body for a long time before stiffly pulling out his phone and dialing the police.

——————————————————————————————————————————

Opposite Mihua Station.

Several police cars were parked on the side of the road.

"What? Empty?" Inspector Megure and Conan both widened their eyes.

Conan, who was already feeling down because Miyano Akemi's death was closed as a suicide, frowned even more upon hearing this.

"Inspector Megure, are there any security cameras here? Can we take a look at the footage?"

"Okay, the surveillance cameras are on the second floor. You guys check the scene carefully here. I'll go upstairs and take a look."

Conan followed closely behind, his eyes glued to the monitor.

The surveillance footage showed people coming and going, and Conan carefully analyzed it.

"Inspector Megure, look here! Look!"

Conan pointed at one of the people and shouted.

In the surveillance footage, a person wearing a black trench coat and a gray scarf slowly walked in, glanced precisely at the monitor, and seemed to reveal a hint of mockery and a smile in their eyes, as if they had anticipated that the police would review the footage.

He walked to safe number 26, took out a key, and inserted it perfectly into the lock, lifting out all the large boxes inside.

"It's the stolen cash!" Kogoro Mouri suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Quickly check the surveillance footage along the way, see where he went with the money!"

Inspector Megure ran out in a hurry, with Conan following closely behind.

Police urgently retrieved surveillance footage from various shops and stations in the surrounding area, and eventually found the man's trail in the surveillance footage at the entrances of several convenience stores near the station.

"Inspector Megure, this person appeared on these few surveillance cameras. We have copied all the footage showing him!" an officer shouted.

The police officers laid out several laptops and played all the surveillance footage related to the men in black.

He was carrying a large suitcase when he left the convenience store at the station, but when he arrived at the next convenience store, the suitcase was gone.

“Inspector Megure, please investigate immediately what blind spots there are in the surveillance cameras between these two convenience stores. In such a short time, either he has already handed the box over to his accomplice, or he has found a place to hide it.”

“Okay.” Inspector Megure then ordered the officers beside him, “Go and check the surrounding area immediately to see if there are any places to hide the box. Leave two officers here to observe the surveillance footage and see if any suspicious vehicles appear.”

However, they were destined to gain nothing, since no one could have imagined that Chu Ming had stuffed the box into his system backpack in a blind spot of the surveillance.

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

Chu Ming rested at home for a few days without going out. He didn't know what was going on with the schools in the Detective Conan world. It had been a long holiday and school hadn't started yet. Oh well, he decided to send the money back first.

"The money has been received and handed over to the peripheral members to be returned. — Granbury"

"Received. Head to ZY13 base. — Gin"

Bases starting with ZY are all drug research institutes of the organization. So, could it be that Sherry knows about her sister?

When Chu Ming arrived at the base laboratory, he found Gin sitting in a chair in the laboratory, smoking a cigarette in agitation.

Across from her, Shirley stood with her hands in her pockets, looking extremely pale.

"Big brother, what did you call me here for? Oh, Miss Shirley's here too—"

"What's going on here?" Chu Ming thought helplessly. Did Gin expect him to talk to Sherry? Just a couple of days ago, when he told Gin that Sherry would definitely cause a scene, didn't Gin say he just needed to mind his own business?

"Gin, why did you call him here? Does that mean he killed my sister?" Sherry glared at Chu Ming with grief and anger.
