Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

Chu Ming stood on the roof of an abandoned building in the distance, holding the sniper rifle of the sniper next to him, observing Tachibana Maya's every move. He then found that she was quite efficient and clean in her actions. He suggested that with some more training in the training camp, she should be able to be considered a combatant when she came out.

“Good. Next mission: Infiltrate room 1306 of the Sanyuan Hotel. There is a blue folder inside. Take it out by any means necessary. If you fail or attract the police, our snipers will shoot you dead immediately.”

After sending the message, Chu Ming continued to observe Tachibana Maya through his sniper scope. The Sanyuan Hotel was just one street ahead, so Chu Ming didn't need to change his observation point to continuously monitor Tachibana Maya's movements.

She changed her clothes slightly and slipped into the hotel's changing room. When she came out a moment later, she was already dressed as a waitress.

Holding a bottle of wine, she casually knocked on the door of room 1306. When the door opened, she swayed inside like a smooth mermaid, suggesting she had checked the basic information about room 1306 at the front desk before coming in.

The person in 1306 is a lawyer. The blue folder contains evidence for the lawsuit he is about to fight. A small part of this chain of evidence involves the organization's black market. Chu Ming found this out himself and then simply used it as a test, asking Tachibana Maya to steal it.

If Tachibana Maya fails, Chu Ming will simply kill two people with one shot and destroy the folder in the process.

Inside the room, faced with the beautiful woman offering herself up, the lawyer didn't think twice and leered at Tachibana Maya's hand.

Then, in the next second, he was knocked unconscious on the ground. Tachibana Maya took the documents and was about to leave when she realized that the man had seen her face. So she filled the bathtub with water, threw him in, and watched him die before leaving.

After she managed to escape, she found a message on her phone: "Congratulations on passing the test. Please report to the bar you visited before within three days. Someone will take you to the training base."

After she finished reading the message, all the previous chat history was suddenly shredded and disappeared.

Maya Tachibana gripped her phone tightly. This was indeed an unfathomable organization.

------

On the other side, after sending the message and using the organization's black technology to delete the previous email records, Chu Ming shoved the gun into the sniper's arms, arranged for a few people to keep a close watch on Tachibana Maya for the next few days, and then hurriedly ran downstairs.

It's time to call Conan to go collect the magnetic field! If we don't go soon, it'll dissipate.

At an intersection, Chu Ming spotted Conan, who was panting heavily. He waved to Conan and asked, "How did it go? Did you find it?"

Conan shook his head: "No, I searched several intersections but couldn't find any trace of Miss Tachibana. Do you think she might have discovered the opportunity to regain her memories and then left?"

Chu Ming nodded in agreement with Conan's point of view: "That's possible. This is the only road I haven't searched yet, let's go together."

Walking along the road, Conan suddenly pointed to the address '9-13 Nakamachi' on the telephone pole ahead and shouted, "Chu Ming, look, this might be the address in Miss Tachibana's Bible! So the Last Supper refers to this?"

Conan sprinted forward and rushed through the door. Chu Ming felt the abundant magnetic field at the doorway, happily absorbed it, and then leisurely strolled in.

Ugh! Conan hasn't been doing so well lately. Has his death aura weakened? I haven't earned any magnetic field points for days, so I have to work hard myself.

Chapter 57 We all have a bright future

"Brother Chu Ming! Call the police quickly, Tang Tian is dead!" Conan shouted at Chu Ming, who had just entered the room.

Before Inspector Megure arrived, Chu Ming and Conan had already done a preliminary examination of Yuda's body.

"Brother Chu Ming, huh? Brother Mori isn't here?" Inspector Megure looked at Chu Ming with suspicion. What's going on? Can the "event constitution" be contagious?

Chu Ming widened his innocent eyes, lifted Conan up to block Inspector Megure's view, and said, "What are you doing? What are you doing looking at irrelevant people for? Don't mistake the Grim Reaper for someone else, okay? Be careful, or the Grim Reaper might come to your house and film an episode."

Conan, who was frowning in thought, was suddenly lifted up and hung on Chu Ming's hand. He struggled to turn his head and try to convey a puzzled look to Chu Ming.

Inspector Megure took Conan and placed him on the ground, somewhat speechless: "The victim, Yuda, died from strangulation by a thin, thread-like object. There were marks on his temple, but no signs of struggle at the scene..."

A moment later, Kogoro Mouri and Ran arrived: "Inspector Megure, what happened! Let me, the great detective Kogoro Mouri, solve this for you!"

"Oh—Brother Mori, so you're here. I was wondering... I thought Brother Chu Ming was here too..." Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.

Conan circled the scene twice before running to Chu Ming's side: "Brother Chu Ming, do you remember the marks on Maya's hands? They look a lot like the marks on Yuda's neck... And this address is the same as the one Maya recorded."

Chu Ming looked down and said, "You suspect she killed Tang Tian? But she doesn't seem to have a motive."

Conan shook his head: "This is just my guess, and I don't have any evidence at the moment."

Chu Ming stroked his chin: "Could it be that she lost her memory, and the first person she saw was Uncle Mori, so she imprinted his handsome face in her mind? Then she happened to see Yuta trying to kill Uncle Mori, and this action triggered her memory, making her realize that she was actually a yakuza heiress! So she sent someone to kill Yuta to avenge Uncle Mori, but she felt ashamed of her dark background and didn't dare to meet him in person, only able to silently protect him from the shadows! That's why we can't find her no matter how hard we search!"

Chu Ming became more and more excited as he wrote, even gesturing wildly. "This plot is good; we can arrange it for Gin."

"..."

Conan looked at Chu Ming, who was inexplicably excited, speechless.

I wanted you to analyze things with me, not to tell me a melodramatic story.

------

Ultimately, this case, like the hotel case, became an unsolved case and was sealed in the Metropolitan Police Department's files.

This time, the action team had three more peripheral members, who will be promoted based on their performance later on.

Chu Ming didn't follow up after that, because Gin gave him a new task—to retrieve a box from the Full Paradise press conference and, incidentally, kill the person who gave out the box to prevent the news from leaking out.

It seems the task originally assigned to Tequila has now become his; could it be that Vodka was the one who instigated it?

Chu Ming pulled out a ticket from his side. Luckily, Conan had given him a ticket yesterday, otherwise he would have had to find a way to sneak in.

The next day

Chu Ming went to the Mouri Detective Agency to hitch a ride. He originally wanted to ride his bike there himself, but the strange weather in the world of Detective Conan prevented him from doing so.

Yesterday it was blazing hot, but this morning it was chilly. Chu Ming had to go back and put on two more layers of clothing. In this weather, riding a motorcycle is not as comfortable as taking a car. He decided to hitch a ride with Kogoro Mouri to the press conference.

However, his illusions were shattered. Upon entering the Mouri Detective Agency, he saw the middle-aged man drunkenly slumped over the table.

Xiao Lan kept muttering to herself as she helped him tidy up the table.

"Dad, you really are something! You knew you had things to do today, yet you still drank so much last night!"

"I didn't drink much, just five or six glasses of gin, vodka, and bourbon..."

Conan suddenly looked up, and Chu Ming was speechless. Just hearing a name made him react like this... No wonder he couldn't help but pounce on the real person.

The group took a taxi to the press conference. After visiting several game facilities, Chu Ming secretly made a deal with Hideaki Nakajima. After Takeshita Hironobu secretly switched the boxes, everything returned to normal.

The organization obtained the information, Hideaki Nakajima received the money, and Hironobu Takeshita can successfully take revenge by eliminating Hideaki Nakajima without lifting a finger himself.

—Everyone has a bright future.

Chapter 58 I am the college student detective, Fujino Chumei

While Conan was playing games with Ran inside, Chu Ming secretly changed his face, retrieved the data box, and stuffed it into his system inventory before switching back to his own face. Thus, a perfect closed loop was created.

Sure enough, a short while later, Hideaki Nakajima happily took the box and sneaked into the restroom, ready to see how much money the organization was going to give him this time.

Unfortunately, when the box was opened this time, it didn't contain stacks of banknotes, but rather a box of train tickets to send him to heaven.

With a loud bang, Chu Ming, standing at the gate, could feel the lingering power of the gunpowder. Wow, where did Takeshita Hironobu get such powerful explosives?

Conan rushed out of the arcade and saw Chu Ming standing by the door. He asked anxiously, "Brother Chu Ming, what's wrong? I think I heard an explosion?"

Chu Ming pointed ahead: "The toilet exploded, can't you smell it?"

???????

Conan craned his neck and sniffed carefully; sure enough, the billowing black smoke was mixed with a foul stench.

Although the scene ahead smelled terrible, Conan's detective instincts compelled him to resolutely push his way through the surging crowd and examine the scene. The scene was a mess, with debris scattered everywhere.

By the time Inspector Megure arrived, the surrounding black smoke had dissipated. Chu Ming had also taken the opportunity of observing the scene to absorb the fragmented magnetic field. It took him a long time. It seemed he couldn't use bombs to kill people next time. This magnetic field was like shards of glass, scattered everywhere, making him feel like a treasure hunter, absorbing a little from one side and a handful from another.

"Hmm? I knew it was you guys..." Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro Mouri like a demolition crew spotting a holdout. "What's the situation at the scene? Are there any casualties?"

"There was one victim, but because his body was blown to pieces, it was impossible to identify him."

"It's Nakajima! He just grabbed his suitcase and said he needed to use the restroom urgently, then rushed in!" someone nearby shouted in alarm.

At that moment, Ishikawa, the president of Mantang, walked in carrying a box. He opened it with a look of panic: "Officer, I might have a clue here. This is a threatening letter I received three days before the event. Take a look..."

Inspector Megure opened the letter and his face turned serious: "Why didn't you notify the police when you received the letter?"

"I'm sorry, I just thought it was a prank. Besides, we notified the media and our peers several days ago that the press conference was going to be canceled because of a baseless threatening letter. That wouldn't sound good for the company's reputation, so I didn't call the police." President Ishikawa said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Now look what happened, a terrible explosion occurred at the press conference. Who would dare to play games at his company in the future?

Since the encounter with tequila as in the original story did not occur, Conan did not realize that it was related to the Black Organization and continued to wander around the crime scene, hoping to find some clues.

Suddenly he felt as if he had stepped on something. He looked down and saw a bent M-shaped logo.

"it's wired……"

"What's so strange?" Chu Ming saw Conan start to use his powers and immediately came over to speed up the process of solving the case.

"Brother Chu Ming, look at this metal badge, why is it flattened facing outwards from the suitcase?"

"It's possible that the impact didn't come from the outside, but rather—"

"—From the inside!" Conan's eyes lit up, and he looked up abruptly.

Chu Ming seemed to see a beam of light pass through his head. He patted Conan's head approvingly: "That's right, so this might not be the indiscriminate killing case that Inspector Megure and the others said, but a premeditated murder. The murderer is in this venue; he swapped Mr. Nakajima's box with the box full of bombs!"

Chu Ming stroked his chin and continued, "So this box is the key. Quickly make good use of your advantage and go ask the front desk who just picked up their boxes."

Conan glanced helplessly at Chu Ming, ran to the receptionist, looked up at her, and asked in a childish voice, "Miss, I'm the assistant to the famous detective Kogoro Mouri. My uncle wants me to ask you, who took the box just now?"

The young woman at the front desk looked at Conan's chubby face and couldn't help but pinch it, saying, "Let me check for you. There were four people who came to pick up their boxes just now. Let me see, Mr. Hideaki Nakajima took box number 98, Mr. Yusuke Matsutake took box number 97, Mr. Hironobu Takeshita took box number 748, and Mr. Koji Ueda took box number 99."

Conan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Chu Ming patted him on the back: "What are you doing? Your laugh is so creepy. You're that happy because a young lady touched your face?"

"Brother Chu Ming, what nonsense are you talking about! I know who the murderer is!" Meeting Chu Ming's questioning gaze, Conan felt a little smug but also a little guilty, and quickly looked around to see if Ran was nearby.

“Just now when we were queuing to pick up our boxes, Xiaolan was number 96, Uncle Mori was number 100, and the three people, including the deceased, were sandwiched between us, numbered 97, 98, and 99. However, Mr. Takeshita Hironobu took box number 748. Obviously, it wasn't his, but he didn't say anything. Why is that?”

Conan is used to speaking in Kogoro Mouri's tone, and he often leaves people with questions to ponder.

Chu Ming slapped him irritably: "Stop keeping me in suspense. Do you think you're telling a story, stopping here to ask for tips?"

Conan pouted, feeling a bit uneasy with no one interacting with him: "This must be because he secretly swapped Mr. Nakajima's box with his own box containing a hidden bomb. But there's something I don't understand: why is it number 138? And who is Matsutake Yusuke, who took box number 97?"
