I'm writing a novel in Ming Ke, if you mess with me, you'll be the heroine

Just when Rum and Chu Ming were happily chatting, Chu Ming suddenly felt a magnetic field being pulled towards him. He looked in the direction of the magnetic field in surprise.

Is it Conan again?

"What's wrong?" Rum followed Chu Ming's gaze and looked out the window, but saw nothing. Only a deep-draft boat floating on the water.

Chu Ming, who had a premonition that Conan and the scream would appear soon, shook his head and said nothing. He just quickly put a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth. The food tasted really good, but it was a pity that if he didn't eat it now, it would be cold by the time Conan finished solving the case.

"Eat slowly, don't be anxious. Order more if it's not enough." Rum looked at Chu Ming and started eating quickly after turning his head. He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Is this how Gin raises a child?

Don’t they usually let Chu Ming eat enough? The food in this restaurant is indeed delicious, but it shouldn’t be like this—

Gin is so cold-blooded! Look at how hungry the child is!

Seeing that Rum was standing there in a daze, Chu Ming, considering that Rum was quite considerate of him, gave him a reminder: "Uncle, you should eat quickly. I smell the scent of a case. Later--"

"Ah——!!!" The sharp cry echoed throughout the restaurant, interrupting Chu Ming's unfinished words.

"Look, a case is coming." Chu Ming took a sip of his drink and called Rum to go out and watch the fun.

Seeing Chu Ming looking like a charlatan, Rum followed him out the door in confusion and walked towards the place where the scream came from.

It was in Box No. 8, which was separated from them by a door, that a man with a knife in the chest was found. He was already dead.

"Brother Chu Ming, are you here to eat too?"

Conan had just walked around the corpse when he saw a familiar figure in the crowd at the door and hurried over.

Chu Ming rubbed his head unhappily: "You are talking nonsense, you can't be here to sleep if you don't eat--"

Conan pushed Chu Ming's hand away. Xiaolan had worked hard to style his hairstyle today, so how could he let Chu Ming mess it up?

He looked at Rum beside Chu Ming and asked, "Who is this uncle?"

"It's my uncle, my father's good friend. He took me out for dinner today."

Chu Ming greeted Maori Kogoro who was beside Conan, and introduced them to each other: "Uncle, this is the famous detective Maori Kogoro, Uncle Maori, this is my uncle——"

Rum quickly extended his hand to Maori Kogoro and said, "I have long heard of Maori Detective's name. My name is Wakita Akira. Chu Ming's father and I were good friends before he passed away. I have been developing in the United Kingdom and the United States before, and I just returned to China recently. Thank you for taking care of this child before."

Maori Kogoro waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no..."

After Kogoro Mouri exchanged greetings with Rum, he introduced Xiaolan and Conan to Rum. At this time, Inspector Megure also arrived at the scene. He asked everyone who was surrounding to return to their boxes, and then arranged for the police officers to investigate the basic situation first.

Seeing the police coming, Chu Ming and Rum looked at each other and knew that they had to solve the case quickly. Otherwise, if the case remained unsolved, the information of everyone present would need to be registered and archived, which would be somewhat inconvenient for Rum.

Chu Ming first went around all the private rooms, and then followed Maori Kogoro into the crime scene. Kaneda Keizo was lying on his back on the table with his body facing the door, and there was a black stain on his thumb.

Chu Ming gestured with his hand: "The direction of the deceased's feet is facing the door. It is possible that the murderer came in from the door, and he was stabbed in the chest when he stood up to greet him. There are no signs of a fight at the scene. It seems that the crime must have been committed by an acquaintance, otherwise the deceased would not have resisted at all. Did the deceased come here to eat alone?"

Maori Kogoro shook his head: "We saw them before entering the box. There were three of them coming to eat, and there should be two more companions - Ah, Officer Takagi, have you found out the results of your investigation?"

Takagi came running over with detailed records: "The deceased's name is Kaneda Keizo, currently an associate professor in the Department of Physics at Jomon University. The store employees all have alibis, and the two people next to me are Professor Iwama and Lecturer Arai, who teach at the same school as the victim."

Chu Ming looked at the two of them. Since the crime was committed by an acquaintance, then it would be a choice between these two?

Thinking of the ship that just passed by the window, Chu Ming's eyes moved between the short Professor Iwama and the burly Lecturer Arai, and then fixed on Professor Iwama.

"Do you two gentlemen have an alibi?" Chu Ming asked.

When Conan saw Chu Ming start asking questions, he knew that Chu Ming had deduced the murderer again.

Alas, Chu Ming has been moving very quickly recently, and he also needs to work harder.

Lecturer Arai took out a receipt and said, "Just now the professor asked me to go out and buy cigarettes. This kind of cigarettes is not available in the store, so I went out to buy them at a convenience store. This is the receipt. The convenience store should also have surveillance cameras that can capture me."

Chu Ming's eyes swept across the receipt, and then focused on Professor Iwama: "Then the murderer can only be you."

Professor Iwama was so frightened by his confident words that he broke out in a cold sweat. Before he could say anything, Kogoro Mori spoke up for him.

"That shouldn't be the case. Just now when we were eating in the private room, I heard Mr. Iwama talking next to us."

When Nobuo Iwama heard that someone was testifying for him, he immediately straightened his back and tried to support his not-so-tall stature.

"Yes, I stayed in room 3 the whole time. I was looking for my contact lenses and I accidentally knocked over the plate."

"That's right, I also saw that the window of Room 3 was closed. This should be his alibi, so the murderer should not be the two people who had dinner with the victim!"

Kogoro Mori said this with great certainty.

Rum on the side glanced at Kogoro Mori with some confusion. He was well versed in human psychology and facial expressions. From Nobuo Iwama's expression and the way he spoke, it was obvious that Nobuo Iwama was a little nervous, especially at the moment when Chu Ming pointed out that he was the murderer. All the muscles in his body tensed up, and during his subsequent explanation, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his fingers were slightly curled up uncontrollably.

It was obvious that he was the murderer.

However, Kogoro Mori testified so confidently for a suspect when the situation at the scene was still unclear.

The basis for the testimony was merely the sound and the action of closing the door which could be faked.

Is it to paralyze the murderer?
