Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Everyone shook their heads quickly.

They were all together just now, and Chu Zhong hadn't left at all, so naturally they couldn't suspect him.

However, less than half an hour after Chu Zhong finished speaking, Zhongdao and Zhi died, which was somewhat too prophetic.

However, Nakamichi Kazushi committed many evil deeds. First, out of jealousy, he attempted to assassinate Kogoro; then he tried to force Horikoshi Yumi; and even threatened everyone's lives with a gun.

Now that he's dead, he deserves it to be. No one feels any regret, and no one even bothers to think about why Nakamichi and Shiki committed suicide.

Conan, the only one with a strong sense of curiosity, investigated until noon but still couldn't find any clues about the murder, and in the end could only conclude that it was suicide.

After lunch, Chu Zhong, Ran Mouri, Sonoko, Kogoro, and Conan took the train together and returned to Beika.

A while later, in the train's dining area, inside the restroom.

Ran Mouri leaned over the sink, her surprise reflected in the mirror. Her voice, lowered and broken by the swaying of the train, trailed off: "Chu-Chu-kun, about last night... are you... are you serious?"

[Triggered the Golden Body set effect, Mana +1... Mana +1...]

"Of course~" Chu Zhong nodded while adding that he had used up almost all his magic power that morning in order to deal with Zhongdao and Zhi.

Chapter 166 Miyano Akemi Falls into a Trap

For the past few days, both Ran and Sonoko have been taking medication to ensure their safety.

The effects of the medication had not completely worn off by midnight last night.

The brain, heated by being rescued and confessed to, is also exceptionally emotional.

Now that her mind has calmed down, Ran Mouri recalls what she said last night and feels it's all rather unreliable, or perhaps too early...

It wasn't until just now that they discovered Chu Zhong wasn't joking, but genuinely intended to carry out the plan.

They are engaging in high-risk activities with absolutely no safety protection!

"Lord Chu, is this... really alright?"

Ran Mouri's eyes were somewhat unfocused.

Knowing it's a high-risk activity, the overwhelming pleasure constantly overshadows rationality, making it impossible to stop.

"What's wrong with that? Wasn't Sister Fei this age back then?"

Chu Zhong continued to instigate.

"Yes~ Oh~~~" Ran Mouri murmured, then stopped questioning.

Chu Zhong chuckled to himself: Sure enough, using Eri Kisaki to persuade Ran always has a miraculous effect.

Even if telling Eri about this might make her angry... as long as I can cheer her up, everything will be fine.

In reality, Eri Kisaki only had a secret agreement; they hadn't actually carried it out yet...

Thinking of this, Chu Zhong was even more eager to return to Mihua.

"Chu-kun~~~~" Ran Mouri called out sweetly, drawing out the last syllable...

After the two left the restroom, they found that Kogoro had also arrived at the restaurant area and was sitting alone, drinking alone.

A perfectly good class reunion turned into a terrible tragedy, and two people even died...

Knowing that Kogoro was in a bad mood, Ran Mouri didn't say much and returned to her seat in the carriage with Chu Zhong.

"Ran~?" Sonoko looked at her best friend, her simple address seeming to ask something.

"Hmm~" Ran Mouri blushed slightly and responded, sitting down next to her best friend with her long legs pressed tightly together, seemingly a little uncomfortable.

Sonoko leaned close to Ran's ear and whispered something in a very low voice.

Sonoko was quickly glared at by Ran Mouri, given a light push, and her eyes glanced to the side, indicating that Conan was also there.

Ran Mouri didn't want the precocious Conan to know too much, lest the latter go to Shinichi Kudo and say something strange.

Yuanzi understood, and under the pretext of having some snacks, she pulled her best friend toward the train-themed restaurant area.

Conan saw all of this, his expression complex, but he remained silent.

Conan had just secretly gone to the restaurant area under the pretext of going to the restroom, but he didn't see Chu Zhong and Ran Mouri.

Now that the two have returned, and Ran Mouri's face is slightly flushed and her posture is strange... what happened is self-evident.

What I feared still happened.

Conan, who still appears to be a child, has no right to say anything.

Especially Chu Zhong, who almost saw through his identity.

Conan felt a sense of powerlessness whenever he recalled Chu Zhong's actions of standing in front of Ran Mouri.

To protect Xiaolan, he was willing to face a life-threatening situation; this sentiment...

Xiaolan was also smiling just now...

Or rather, when Chu Zhong was around, Xiao Lan always had a smile on her face...

She certainly wouldn't treat Shinichi Kudo with the same displeasure, threats, scolding, or complaints...

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Conan had to admit that even if he turned back into Shinichi Kudo, he had no chance of winning.

At this moment, I can only silently accept reality, suppress the bitterness in my heart, and refuse to think about it in detail, instead turning my attention to other important issues.

For example, where did that 'Shinichi Kudo' come from? And where has he gone now?

Although he was a terrible imposter, he inadvertently ensured the safety of the 'Conan' identity...

Around 3 p.m., the train stopped at Mihana Station.

Ran and Sonoko got off the bus carrying large bags of souvenirs, and Conan was also requisitioned, carrying a large shopping bag.

Chu Zhong helped Kogoro, who was drunk and brooding, out of the carriage.

The five then split into two groups. The two best friends took a taxi and brought the gifts back to Eri Kisaki's apartment.

Chu Zhong then escorted Kogoro back to the office.

As for Conan, he said, "I'm going to Professor Agasa's house to play," and then ran off.

Four p.m.

Chu Zhong escorted Kogoro back to his bedroom on the third floor of the office.

During this time, I also heard Kogoro slurring his drunken ramblings, vaguely mentioning the names of his classmates from the gathering...

After confirming that Kogoro showed no signs of vomiting, Chu Zhong activated the speedrun feature for the dungeon.

Afterwards, they took a taxi to the distillery's location, intending to try their luck.

result……

"What happened today? There are obviously more police officers patrolling the streets."

Chu Zhong asked the driver for details.

"Oh my, that's a billion-yen case, it would be strange if it weren't a big deal. You wouldn't believe it, sir, this morning..."

The talkative driver quickly recounted what he had seen and heard that morning.

Chu Zhong's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

A bank armored truck was robbed, and one billion yen in cash was lost... Isn't this the case where Akemi Miyano died in the original work?

He repeatedly told Miyano Akemi to behave herself, and even left a message asking Miyano Shiho to help persuade her, so why is she still like this...?

Could it be another case?

Chu Zhong immediately took out his phone, intending to call Miyano Akemi to confirm, but after searching through his phone book, he realized it was a new phone and he didn't have her number at all.

"Driver, let's not go to the Big Black Building anymore, let's go to..."

Chu Zhong could only go and get a replacement SIM card first.

At 4:53 PM, after Chu Zhong used his "money power," the original SIM card was finally replaced in an expedited manner.

I inserted the SIM card and immediately received several belated text messages... all from Akemi Miyano.

The time was the afternoon of the day before yesterday:

Gin said there's a chance I can take my sister away... as long as I have one billion yen in cash...

"There's no way I could possibly get that much money... But do you have a way?"

The night before last:

"Chu Zhong, do you have time to meet? I have something important I'd like to discuss with you..."

The night before last:

'If you see this message, please call me back…'

"Shiho called me this afternoon, crying and saying she didn't want to stay in that horrible place anymore..."

'I need your help, Chu Zhong…'

The day before yesterday at noon:

'I have a plan... Chu Zhong, if you want to know more, just reply with a message...'

Looking at the endless stream of text messages, Chu Zhong immediately realized that Miyano Akemi had fallen into Gin's trap.

Vermouth must have fabricated the voice to call Akemi Miyano for help, causing all the previous attempts to persuade her to fail...

The day before yesterday afternoon, Chu Zhong was struggling to swim in the sea when his phone fell into the seabed and was ruined by water.

"This is really troublesome..."

Chu Zhong couldn't help but frown, even more puzzled:

Why did Gin have to get rid of Miyano Akemi for no reason?

To be precise, why use this method to get rid of Akemi Miyano?

They could have easily solved the problem with a single shot, but instead they dragged Vermouth into the scheme...

That seems a bit unnecessary.

But it also gave Chu Zhong an opportunity.

A chance to save Akemi Miyano!

It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman as Akemi Miyano died like this.

Saving Akemi Miyano would not only prevent Shiho Miyano from turning to the dark side, but also earn her a huge favor... and the grand plan could take another step forward!

With the disguise mask, Chu Zhong was confident that he could lead Miyano Akemi out of this trap without revealing himself.

If we can find Akemi Miyano before she dies...

Chapter 167 Large-Scale Dungeon, Temporary Confession

While Chu Zhong was pondering, his phone rang.

It's Eri Kisaki's number.

Xiao Lan had already memorized the number, and after Chu Zhong bought a new phone, she immediately added it to his phonebook.

"What would you like to eat tonight, Lord Chu?"

Xiaolan's voice came through the phone; she had obviously gone to the law firm to let Eri know she was safe and was calling from a borrowed phone.

"I have something to do tonight, so I won't be going home..."

As Chu Zhong spoke, he added, "Xiao Lan, you've been working hard these past few days. Take a rest. When we meet tomorrow, I'll be the first to eat you..."

"Chu Jun~!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Lan's reproachful voice.

Then came Eri's slightly teasing voice: "It seems Chu-kun is really hungry; even Ran wants a bite~"

Unexpectedly, the phone was on speakerphone, and Eri Kisaki was also there.
