Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

"I already said I was also thrown forward because of the braking! Besides, do you have any evidence that I'm the murderer?"

“There was another bus at 5:40, which means that the piano wire was set up after 5:40. And it was known that Mr. Kawasaki would be taking pictures there and would use a ladder. No one knew any of this except you and the deceased Mr. Horii.”

Shimizu clenched her fists: "Maybe it was a trap that Horii set specifically to kill Kawasaki! He came so late, maybe that's why he did it, and maybe he committed suicide out of guilt for failing to kill Kawasaki-senpai! Do you have conclusive evidence that I killed Horii?"

Kogoro Mouri was stunned. He frowned and remained silent. Indeed, he had not found any evidence, but at this point, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Shimizu was the culprit.

"Hmph, you treat me like a murderer without even any evidence. Even the most famous detective is nothing special!"

"Oh dear, Shimizu-neechan, how did you get a cut on your hand? And also, there's a scratch on your watch!"

Chu Ming picked at his ear and summarized for Conan: "There should be your blood on the camera box, and since you weren't wearing gloves, there must be your fingerprints on it too."

I haven't seen such a stupid killer in a long time, who didn't even wipe away the blood and fingerprints.

This is practically a freebie.

Chapter 150 Let's Go Bungy Jumping (Bonus Chapter 2)

Shimizu lowered his head, no longer making excuses for himself.

"Shimizu, why? Why did you kill Horii? Weren't you two on good terms?"

Kawasaki really couldn't understand why the two of them, who had been so close that they would leave him alone and go out to play together, would suddenly want to kill someone.

And they even dragged him down with them! If the driver hadn't braked in time, he would be joining Horii in death by now.

"Actually, Horii and I were dating, and we had even reached the point of discussing marriage. I gave him everything... but he suddenly decided to study in Germany."

Qingshui covered her face, tears streaming down her face, blurring the dried bloodstains on the ground.

"And what's more, when I told him I wanted to go with him, he actually told me that he was going to Germany because his parents had arranged a marriage for him with someone of equal social standing, and that he would have to get married once he arrived in Germany... Then what am I? What am I? He clearly promised to marry me! He's gone too far! I just can't swallow this..."

Kawasaki finally snapped: "What does that have to do with me?! You two go out on a lovey-dovey date and leave me out there, but when you want to kill him, you take me with you! What! Single people have no rights?!"

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

Because he still had to go to Nichiri Amusement Park, Kogoro Mouri made an appointment with Officer Wakai to give his statement another time and then left.

Wow, a roller coaster!

Wow, a Ferris wheel!

Wow! There's even bungee jumping!

Conan watched with a dark expression as Chu Ming acted like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, making a big fuss over everything.

"This is just a regular amusement park ride—" he couldn't help but complain, "Why does it feel like the first time I've been here?"

Chu Ming opened his arms, his face bearing a hopeful and pure smile that shone brightly in the sunlight.

"Because this is my first time at an amusement park, and it looks really interesting!"

"The first time?" Ran and Conan looked on in surprise.

"Yes, my parents were busy with work and rarely came home, let alone took me out to play. They passed away when I was in junior high school. My guardian, well, I guess he was my guardian, but he wasn't the type to take me to amusement parks, so we never came."

In my past life, I became a mercenary to survive. After surviving countless battles, I became addicted to games, and before I could rest for long, I was sent here.

"Then, Brother Chu Ming, we'll invite you to all the fun activities we have in the future!" Conan thoughtfully changed the subject.

"That's great—wait, where's Uncle?" Kogoro Mouri, who had been following behind, had somehow gotten lost.

Conan pointed to the figure gesturing wildly like a gorilla over there at the rowing area: "There he is—the old man was reading the rowing newspaper yesterday."

Ran stormed over, and Chu Ming, just as considerately, picked up Conan and covered his eyes.

"Oh no, kids shouldn't watch this gory scene! Let's go see the Kamen Rider show over there!!"

Conan, slumped in Chu Ming's arms, utterly dejected: "Ten years ago, I might have enjoyed watching this..."

“Conan doesn’t like it? Then let’s go play on that!” Chu Ming pointed to the bungee jumping area.

"What are you thinking, Brother Chu Ming? Minors can't play those kinds of games!" Conan glared at Chu Ming with dead fish eyes.

"It's okay, we're both adults combined, we'll go together, and the rope will be tied to my leg along with yours~ Don't worry, I won't throw you off!"

Upon hearing this, Conan immediately struggled to get off Chu Ming, but Chu Ming still led him to the bungee jumping registration area with a sinister smile.

There, Conan saw Kogoro Mouri, who shared his plight.

"Xiao Lan, are you serious? As long as I jump down from there, you won't interfere with me, and I can play whatever I want? You have to keep your word!"

Kogoro Mouri's legs were shaking.

Chu Ming dragged Conan toward the registration desk: "We need to register too!"

"Okay sir, uh—are you of legal age?"

The staff member had already taken out a letter of commitment, but after glancing at Chu Ming, he stuffed the paper back into the paper.

"We don't support challenges for minors here. You and your brother should wait until you're adults before coming."

Chu Ming panicked: "It's only a few months left!"

"I'm sorry, sir. If you are not a minor, your legal guardian needs to come and sign a commitment. Where is your guardian?"

Chu Ming's face fell: "I'm working." And expecting Gin to sign something for him? In his next life.

"Then you can't participate, I'm sorry sir. You can participate in other attractions in our amusement park."

"My brother and I are both over 18, can't I bring him along?" Chu Ming made his last stand.

"That's even more unacceptable, sir!!!"

Kogoro Mouri, standing to the side, looked on with envy: "I don't think I'm an adult either, maybe I should—"

"Sure, then Dad won't have to go watch the rowing races—"

Ran drew out her words, pulling Chu Ming, who was trying to continue his tirade, over to save Conan, who was struggling in vain.

"Hmph, a mere high-altitude jump? I am the famous detective Kogoro Mouri!"

Kogoro Mouri encouraged himself as he walked up the stairs with his eyes closed, holding onto the handrail.

Ran pulled Chu Ming and Conan to sit on the armchair next to them.

"Being an adult is great, I wish I could be an adult right away!"

Next time, I'll use the pseudonym Yusuke Shochiku.

Chapter 151 "Additional update 3"

Chu Ming sat below and watched as Kogoro Mouri danced and performed numerous acrobatic moves on the high platform before finally wiggling his hips and shrinking back onto the springboard.

"It seems the uncle has given up after all." Chu Ming rested his chin on his hand and looked up.

"Yeah, it looks like he won't be able to go watch the rowing race today." Xiaolan couldn't help but laugh.

Chu Ming had planned this all along, and pointed to the haunted house in the corner: "Let's go play in the haunted house when Uncle comes down!"

Xiaolan's face paled: "Huh? Going to a haunted house?"

Before Chu Ming could say anything more, a group of children suddenly crowded around.

"Kamen Rider—Kamen Rider—Aaaaaah!"

Suddenly, Kamen Rider Kamen Rider appeared on the diving platform.

"Black alien, I won't let you succeed! Princess, I'm coming to save you right away!"

After saying that, he jumped off the diving platform.

"Is his foot on fire? Why is it smoking?"

Chu Ming could clearly see thick black smoke billowing from the elastic band on Kamen Rider's foot.

A soft snap followed.

The rope snapped, and Kamen Rider fell headfirst into the water.

Chu Ming couldn't help but give the show a thumbs up: "This show is pretty good. The actors not only have to bungee jump, but also dive. Tsk tsk, no wonder so many people come to watch."

Conan frowned: "This might not be for the sake of the show. The audience can't see the diving performance, maybe—"

"Hosono, how are you, Hosono!"

When the staff saw the actor fall into the water, they all gathered around and called for the salvage team to come and retrieve him.

Twenty minutes later, the actor playing Kamen Rider was pulled out of the water, but he was no longer breathing.

Chu Ming frowned. He hadn't sensed any magnetic field, but the person was indeed dead...

There are only two possibilities: the magnetic field is not here, or it has already dissipated.

Then this matter is not a simple accident.

"Ran, call Inspector Megure. This could very well be a murder case."

"Brother Chu Ming, is something wrong?" Xiao Lan subconsciously took out her phone.

Chu Ming pointed to the rubber band on the safety rope hanging in the air; its inside was charred black.

"If it was an accident, the rubber band should have broken naturally, and there shouldn't be any burn marks on the inside."

After Inspector Megure arrived, he gathered all the staff together for questioning.

Chu Ming wandered around the amusement park, searching for his lost magnetic field.
