Survival Manual of the Science Fiction World

"Brother Chu Ming, where did you come from?! Don't misunderstand me!"

Just then, a man ran over from a distance: "Sorry to keep you waiting, Brother Heiji, I'm here."

Then he introduced himself to everyone: "I am Yusuke Sakata from the Higashijiri Police Station of the Osaka Prefectural Police."

"Yusuke?" Conan looked at him in confusion but didn't say anything.

Hattori's eyes lit up: "Hey, where's my dad? He said he'd come to entertain Mr. Mori."

Yusuke Sakata said softly, "The director is in a meeting about that case right now and probably won't be able to spare the time for the time being."

Hattori nodded knowingly: "Did you drive the car I mentioned?"

Sakata Yusuke's face practically screamed, "I've brought the best car in our police station!"

Chu Ming quietly kicked Conan's foot: "I have a bad feeling."

Sure enough, accompanied by Hattori's arrogant laughter, Conan and the others sat motionless in the police car with blank expressions.

After Chu Ming's initial ominous premonition came true, he quickly adapted.

He sat in the car, swaying left and right, and secretly sent a photo, clearly taken inside a police car, to Gin.

"Hey bro, riding in a police car is so cool, wanna try it? I'll arrange it for you! If you want one, I'll even steal one for you!" — Granbury

Gin, who received the text message at that moment:

Chapter 170 Additional update 5

After waiting a long time without receiving a reply from Gin, Chu Ming put his phone away in disappointment. It seemed that Gin wasn't planning to talk to him for the time being.

"Patrol cars are great, they give way to everyone on the road!" Hattori Heiji said with a happy expression.

The four people in the back seat, except for Chu Ming, all had their heads down and their faces were red.

"I always feel like a cop, catching three of you at once. You three are all criminals I arrested, so why are you all keeping your heads down? Riding in a police car is such a cool thing! Let's get this party started!"

Chu Ming rallied the group.

"Exactly! Should I turn on the alarm? That would be faster, and this is the Osaka Police Department's brand newest car!" Hattori was equally eager to stir up trouble.

Chu Ming was the first to raise his hand in agreement: "(^o^)/~ Okay, let's open it!"

Kogoro Mori shoved his head down: "You two, that's enough! Look at the way the passersby are looking at us!! Chu Ming, you better roll up your window right now! Stop waving at the outside! It's so embarrassing!"

Chu Ming rolled up the car window with a pout, sighing, "Sigh, I've lost my happiness."

"Tomorrow's headlines might be: Shocking! Detective Kogoro Mouri arrested in Osaka. Is it a lack of humanity or a decline in morality?" Chu Ming quietly nudged Conan and Hattori, and the three heads huddled together whispering, occasionally letting out a few pig-like squeaks of laughter.

"Conan gets along really well with them~" Ran smiled as she watched Conan blend in perfectly.

Hattori pulled out a small notebook from his side: "I've prepared a plan in advance, let's follow this plan! First stop—Udon noodles!"

The soup in the bowl was clear and transparent, the char siu was thick and plump, and with a little bit of finely chopped seaweed and a half-soft-boiled egg, the taste was absolutely amazing.

Chu Ming was eating happily with his head down, but he always felt a gaze watching him from behind.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to drink soup, Chu Ming secretly glanced to the side and saw that it was—He Ye?

It seems they've come after Hattori.

Sigh, even these little plot devices in the Detective Conan world have partners. Getting involved with their energy will come with some free dog food (romantic scenes)...

"Next—let's go eat takoyaki! I heard there's an amazing takoyaki place in Osaka!" Kogoro Mori shouted, raising his hand as he finished his noodles in a few bites.

While everyone was eating takoyaki, Xiaolan was looking around.

"What's wrong, Ran? Why aren't you eating?" Hattori, as the host, asked when he saw Ran looking around.

"I always feel like someone is watching me." Xiaolan hesitated, wondering if she was mistaken.

Chu Ming swallowed a takoyaki in one gulp, satisfied: "It's okay. I felt that the gaze wasn't malicious. Maybe it was because you're too good-looking or I'm too handsome that it kept staring at you. After all, everyone appreciates beauty."

Xiaolan nodded, then turned to eat her takoyaki: "Hey, there are only two left?"

While munching away, Conan said in a typical straight-man tone, "Isn't Ran-neechan on a diet? I'll eat more for you, it's okay."

It's outrageous that someone like him can have a girlfriend. Chu Ming thoughtfully pushed another plate over, which contained two more women.

He had just noticed that Xiaolan hadn't eaten, so he left this for her. After all, she was practically a tool to him, and as long as it didn't involve his interests, it was fine to take care of her.

Not long after getting on the bus, Kogoro Mouri looked at the brochure in his hand and said, "I heard there's a pretty good pancake place around here?"

"Pancakes? Why didn't you say so earlier? I know a really good pancake shop, but it's in front of the takoyaki area. That's the wrong way. With the traffic like this, we probably won't be able to get past. Osaka is different from Tokyo; there are so many one-way streets here, sometimes you have to take a really long detour to get somewhere..."

At this moment, Yusuke Sakata's eyes flickered slightly: "I know a shop nearby, I'll take you there."

Not long after entering the store, Hattori went to the back corridor to call his mother, and Chu Ming felt the gaze that had been fixed on them gradually approaching.

Kazuha Toyama pulled out the seat next to Conan and sat down.

Xiaolan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this is a friend of ours—"

Before she could finish speaking, Toyama Kazuha rested her chin on her hands, looked ahead, and spoke softly.

"You must be Kudo."

Conan and Ran were both stunned.

Kazuha continued, "Heiji often talks to me about you."

Kazuha's gaze passed over Conan and looked behind him, but Conan didn't know that. He thought Kazuha was talking to him, and his eyes widened in fright. He was probably cursing Hattori in his mind at this moment, since Chu Ming's emotional value had already been flooded.

Ran asked, somewhat puzzled, "Did Hattori tell you that?"

"Stop pretending. I've known everything for a long time. You're the one—"

Conan flailed his arms in terror: "That—no—it's—me—"

Kazuha shoved the brat who kept blocking her and Ran aside and moved closer to Ran.

"Isn't that the woman Heiji met in Tokyo, the one he always talks about—named Kudo?!"

"Huh?" Conan was stunned. Wasn't this supposed to be about him?

Xiao Lan couldn't help but chuckle: "Miss, I think you've misunderstood. Actually, I—"

Kazuha gave a domineering CEO-like smile: "Kudo! Let me tell you, Heiji and I have been together for a long time—"

"Kazuha, what are you doing here?" Hattori, who had just finished a phone call, walked back and was surprised to find a familiar person sitting in his seat. "Who are you calling for, Kudo?"

"You idiot Heiji, I just came to see who this woman named Kudo you keep talking about is! I—"

"Woman? Hahahaha—" Hattori Heiji burst into a wild laugh. "What? I was talking about Kudo, who's a man. This lady you're talking about is Kudo's girlfriend."

Xiaolan blushed and denied, "No, no—"

Chu Ming finally finished his pancake and nodded: "Not yet, but I guess it will be soon."

Chapter 171 Male Mother (Bonus Chapter 6)

Because of Kazuha Toyama's arrival, Hattori and Kazuha, those two tsundere girls, argued in the shop for a while before finally coming out.

Yusuke Sakata had been waiting at the door for quite a while.

The five people were huddled together in the back, and Chu Ming's face was pressed against the car window, looking somewhat sad.

"It's overloaded! This police car is overloaded! Does Osaka not have traffic police? This is clearly not up to standard QAQ"

Hattori turned to look at Kazuha from behind: "Why did you come along too?"

Kazuha was now completely behaving like a spoiled young girl: "If there's enough room, please take me with you!"

Chu Ming could only roll down the car window and prop his elbow on it to try and find some extra space to survive.

Suddenly, a body fell from the building and landed heavily on the hood of the police car.

!!!

New car! The best police car ever!! It's broken!!

The corpse doesn't have a magnetic field!

Chu Ming's pained gaze lingered on the police car. He hadn't even settled in yet, and now it was all Death's fault. Death not only brought misfortune to people, but now it was even bringing misfortune to cars.

Sigh, this must be the fastest police response time in history.

From the moment the object fell to the moment the police responded, it only took one second.

Hattori looked up and saw a man looking down from the rooftop. He and Conan immediately rushed upstairs.

But soon after, the two returned disappointed.

The man was not the murderer; he was summoned to the rooftop by a phone call from the murderer.

“The time of death is more than a day, and it was a case of piercing the wallet before stabbing into the heart…” Hattori pondered, stroking his chin.

"Again?" Conan seized on the key phrase. "Have there been similar cases before?"

Before Hattori could answer, a woman in red screamed, ran to her car, and drove away.

Hattori wanted to give chase, but two legs were clearly no match for four wheels. He stared at the departing vehicle and instructed Sakata Yusuke, "Check the license plate."

Then, while having Yusuke Sakata drive towards the police station, he turned around and explained the serial murder case to Mori and the others.

"This is the third person to die?" Chu Ming's brows furrowed deeply.
