Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

"Don't worry, bro~ It'll be fine. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else~" Chu Ming hung up the phone quickly. Luckily, he was fast, otherwise Gin would definitely have settled accounts with him after finishing his business.

Anyway, Gin isn't in Tokyo right now, so I can't beat him up. When he's about to come back after finishing his mission, I'll take on some missions in other places and go out for a while.

The main problem is that I've been in Japan for so long, but I haven't really gone out much; I've just been wandering around the Tokyo area.

We'll see where we go later, but for now, the further away from Gin, the better.

It's not that he's afraid of Gin; he's the heir, how could he possibly be afraid of Gin?

The main reason is that he wants to go out and have fun.

There's also Amuro Tooru.

Damn, thankfully Gin found out that Bourbon was an undercover agent. Knowing that Bourbon was an undercover agent, Gin will definitely not cooperate with him, lest Rum spread the news everywhere and everyone knows that he wrote the novel. It wouldn't be good if Bourbon and Gin teamed up to beat him up.

He already had a hard time dealing with Gin alone, let alone adding Bourbon, wouldn't that double the difficulty?

And what if the two of them team up and give him a mixed doubles attack? Wouldn't that be the end of him?

But judging from Gin's tone, he doesn't seem very angry?

Could it be that Gin's temper has really been getting better lately?

Chu Ming stroked his chin, intending to stare at Gin's face as he went outside for a stroll.

But Gin's face is a bit too obvious, otherwise—

While Gin is away, should I use his face to dress up as a woman and go out to play?

Gin's face is really suited for cross-dressing!

With long, flowing hair, a tall and slender figure, a slim waist, long legs, and fair skin, she would be an absolute beauty if her facial features were softened a little and her bangs were trimmed.

Anyway, Gin isn't in Tokyo right now, and he's already got a lot of debts, so he doesn't have to worry about it. He's already offended someone because of the novel, and who knows how long it will take for Gin to calm down. He might even get beaten up in the end.

Since we're about to get beaten up anyway, why not just do what we want to do?

Chapter 438 Beautiful Big Sister

However, it's better to do bad things secretly than to do them in secret.

After all, it would be best to avoid being discovered.

So Chu Ming casually picked a task and tossed it to Vodka, sending him away.

Standing upstairs, Chu Ming watched as Vodka drove away in the base's spare vehicle. Only then did he go into his room and start working on his makeup.

Gin's face had too many sharp angles, so his eyebrows were softened, his cheekbones were slightly contoured, and a little highlighter was added. With the makeup and the disguise technique, in no time, a girl appeared in the mirror who looked a lot like Gin at first glance, but was clearly a girl. Her slightly sharp face added a touch of heroism to her.

Chu Ming looked in the mirror and thought, "Hmm, she's really beautiful." He had always said that Gin looked better in women's clothing, otherwise, wouldn't all that long hair be a waste?

After changing into the clothes Vermouth had prepared for him, Chu Ming tossed his long, flowing hair, put on sunglasses, and gracefully swayed his hips as he left the base.

Then I picked out a bright red Ferrari that Vermouth often drove, grabbed my camera, and drove to the outskirts.

He needed to take some photos to remember the occasion before Gin returned.

Humming a song, Chu Ming was driving on the deserted mountain road in the suburbs when he suddenly saw a yellow Beetle parked in front of him that looked very, very familiar.

Yo?

The doctor's car?

Could it be——

Chu Ming rested his chin on his hand and peeked out to the side.

On the not-so-wide mountain road, a white RV was parked at the front. It looked like a recently released model. RVs were quite expensive and rare these days.

However rare it may be, it's no excuse for their lack of public spirit. With such a large vehicle blocking the middle of the road, he simply couldn't get through, especially with a Beetle behind the RV...

Left with no other choice, Chu Ming pushed open the car door and slowly got out.

Turning a corner along a path through the woods on one side, I saw a group of people gathered together, chatting happily.

In terms of configuration—

It should be the pre-arranged victim + murderer + 2 suspects + Professor Agasa + Conan + Ai Haibara + the brat trio.

The moment Chu Ming peeked out from the bushes, Ai Haibara, who was facing him, was the first to see him.

She was drinking water from a cup when she suddenly spat it out, choking and coughing uncontrollably, her face turning pale.

"Haibara, what's wrong?" Conan looked at Ai Haibara with a puzzled expression, somewhat bewildered by her behavior.

"Wow, it's a beautiful older sister!" Ayumi turned her head and stood up the moment she saw Chu Ming, exclaiming with some surprise.

Everyone turned to look back upon hearing this. Conan's mouth dropped open in astonishment, and he stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence: "This, this, she, you, I..."

"Conan always stares blankly at pretty older women. He did it when he saw Ran, and now he's doing it again when he sees this pretty older woman." Mitsuhiko secretly complained to Genta, and Genta wholeheartedly agreed.

Conan looked at the woman under the shade of the tree, her brows slightly furrowed. She was dressed in black, her beautiful silver hair, like silk, cascading down her back. Her skin was like solidified cream, white as snow, and her face was as if frozen in ice that had never melted for thousands of years. She was elegant and incomparable, with frost between her brows and her eyes were cold and piercing, with a kind of disdain and indifference that looked down on everything.

However, his outstanding appearance was not the main reason that left him speechless. What shocked him and Ai Haibara at the same time was his outfit, which resembled Gin's, and his face, which looked like Gin's sibling.

Conan was simply shocked, but Ai Haibara felt terrified.

She's been in the organization for quite some time, but she's never heard of Gin having any siblings.

Recalling the sight of Amuro Tooru dressed as a woman that she had seen before, Ai Haibara had a very outrageous guess pop into her mind for some reason, which she then quickly dismissed.

Impossible. Gin would never do something like that.

It is absolutely impossible.

Professor Agasa had previously joined Conan's parents in teasing Conan, so he had seen Chu Ming disguised as Gin, and was stunned by the gender-swapped Gin that appeared at the time.

Instead, several children and the group of four they had met by chance got up and warmly invited her to sit down and have something to eat.

"No need, is that car yours? It's blocking the road and I can't get through." Chu Ming leaned against the tree, his voice clear and cold like jade, yet also like the murmuring of flowing water.

"Miss, I'm so sorry, I'll go move the car right away." Fukuura Reiji looked at Chu Ming's aloof and peerless face, her face flushed slightly, and she scratched her head as she prepared to get up and drive the car.

On his way here, Conan was talking to Dr. Agasa about the contents that were covered up on the disk that Itakura Suguru had left behind, and they happened to mention the organization. Now that he saw this woman who looked remarkably like Gin, how could Conan possibly give up the information he had just obtained?

He suddenly spoke, his sweet, childlike voice sounding especially adorable: "Big sister, you're so pretty! It's lunchtime now, and we're making curry rice later. Would you like to eat with us?"

Chu Ming lowered her gaze and saw Conan standing by the grill, looking up with a cute expression. She slightly curved the corners of her mouth, like a gentle breeze rippling a pool of spring water, where the sunlight shimmered softly and gently, as faint as the clouds on the horizon. This smile softened her somewhat indifferent eyes, making her appear much gentler.

Are you camping together?

"No, we came out with the professor and happened to run into these four older brothers and sisters. We thought their RV was so cool, so we got out to take a look." Conan turned slightly to shield Ai Haibara behind him as he answered Chu Ming's question.

"Would you like to join our barbecue party? We have plenty of meat, and it's all top-quality meat!" Shirafuji Yasumi suddenly invited.

Iihei Takuto quietly tugged at her and whispered, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? There's still some left for us to eat tonight."

Shirafuji Yasumi said impatiently, "Can't you stop being so stingy and spoiling the mood? If you don't have enough money, you can ask Haruka-nee for some. You can just go to the supermarket at the foot of the mountain, right, Haruka-nee?"

Haruka Paradise nodded with a smile: "Yes, don't be shy, come and eat with us. Camping with more people is more fun, isn't it?"

Chu Ming's gaze swept over the group of four. He had only assumed that they were the pre-arranged victim, murderer, and two suspects because he saw them hanging out with Conan.

It now seems highly likely that Qinghua is the murderer in this case.

After all, although Shirafuji Yasumi kept boasting about her status as a rich young lady, the occasional sarcasm in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

She looks down on Qinghua Tiantang.

Based on this positioning, the two should be a rich family's daughter and her follower.

However, a follower might resent the young lady because of her arrogant and domineering behavior, or dislike her because of one of her unpleasant personality traits, but would never give her such a sarcastic and disdainful look.

In addition, although this so-called young lady was dressed in designer brands, they were not very expensive brands. Her every move was a deliberate disguise, but it still revealed a hint of timidity and inferiority.

It seems she's just a fake rich girl, a cash cow who keeps paying for things to maintain appearances, and a vicious lackey who flatters on the surface but knows the truth all along.

Alright, now we can confirm the identities of both the murderer and the victim.

Chapter 439 It’s over

Hoping to benefit from the magnetic field, Chu Ming didn't refuse and nodded indifferently.

Ayumi ran up to Chu Ming and grabbed his clothes, looking up at him with admiration: "Big sister, you are so beautiful! What's your name? I'm Yoshida Ayumi."

"My name is Kotoko Kurosawa." Chu Ming glanced at Ayumi, who was tugging at her clothes, and smiled slightly.

Conan, who had been eavesdropping, paused when he heard the name, feeling that it sounded familiar...

Ai Haibara absentmindedly dropped the cup in her hand. The cup didn't break when it hit the grass, but rolled over to Chu Ming's feet.

Chu Ming glanced down at the cup that had rolled to his feet, bent down to pick it up, and handed it to Ai Haibara.

Ai Haibara was still in shock from being startled by the name and didn't reach out for a moment.

She had been in the organization for quite some time, and had even gone on a mission to Mermaid Island with Gin, so she was very familiar with the names Gin often used.

So when she heard this highly similar name, coupled with the resemblance in their appearances, Ai Haibara had only one guess in her mind—could this be Gin's sister?

She blankly accepted the cup. Although her face was a little pale, she didn't sense the scent of the organization that terrified her from the person in front of her. She lowered her head shyly and said, "Thank you."

Conan pondered for a long time before finally searching his memory for why the name sounded so familiar.

He saw the name "Amuro Namiko" on Chu Ming's computer when he went to Chu Ming's house to attend a Sherlock Holmes fan gathering.

At the time, he thought Chu Ming was writing a love letter to a girl...

So why does Brother Chu Ming know Miss Kurosawa?
