The consequence of going out for coffee with Vermouth late at night and even chatting until dawn was that Chu Ming slept until the afternoon, then he scratched his messy hair and crawled out of bed.

After yawning, Chu Ming took a piece of toast to fill his stomach for the time being and planned to go to the mall to see if there was anything delicious.

It was just the time for school to be over, and Chu Ming was strolling aimlessly along with the crowds of people, trying to see if there were any new stores in the mall he had visited so many times before.

"Brother Chu Ming?"

"Oh~Mr. Chu Ming~"

Chu Ming turned around and saw Judy, Xiaolan, Yuanzi and Conan walking towards him with a smile. He also greeted them with a smile.

Conan was following the three people slowly, thinking hard, and no one knew what he was thinking. The moment he saw Chu Ming, he ran over with his two short legs, grabbed Chu Ming's hand and turned him in a different direction, avoiding Xiaolan and the others and quietly asked him: "Brother Chu Ming, do you know what X means?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment. It was so confusing and no one knew what it meant. But when it came to this, memories of his school days suddenly jumped out and attacked him.

"X represents an unknown number?"

Conan frowned, looking at the three people who were chatting happily behind him, muttering and trying to analyze it with Chu Ming: "Indeed, in algebra, X represents an unknown number, and also represents doubts, unknown, unclear, and uncertain things. X may also refer to X-rays. People under the age of 18 cannot enter the place where X is drawn. It may also be a synonym for something is about to happen. If you look at it as a cross, the cross represents something wrong or missing a word. A cross also represents a divorce. Sister Xiaolan said that it is good for girls to know this sign? Damn, what does it mean..."

Looking at Conan who was thinking hard, Chu Ming smiled and rubbed his head: "Why are you suddenly so entangled in this?"

Conan scratched his head in annoyance: "On the way home from school just now, Xiaolan asked me, saying that it was a question asked by Teacher Judy, but I couldn't think of it. The mind of a girl is indeed the most difficult mystery in the world."

"Speaking of girls, then I can think of another meaning of X..."

Conan quickly grabbed Chu Ming and asked, "What is it?"

"that is--"

The entire mall was suddenly dark, all the lights went out instantly, and there was a commotion all around.

Just as everyone was stunned, the lights came on again.

A shrill scream echoed above the shopping mall. Before Chu Ming could finish his words, Conan had already jumped out.

On the escalator in the shopping mall, a figure covered in blood was holding an empty file bag, swaying constantly as the escalator went up and down, like a child on a rocking car.

Chu Ming followed Conan and took a look. He saw a few symbols written in blood on the file bag: ○ x △.

Huh? Isn't this Sony?

Conan squatted beside the escalator and pondered, wondering what these symbols meant. At this moment, Xiaolan and Inspector Megure hurried over from downstairs.

"Brother Chu Ming, oh, Xiaolan and Conan are here too. So that means--" Inspector Megure began to look around, trying to find any trace of Kogoro Mouri.

"Oh~ Officer Megure, what are you looking for?" Judy said in a strange tone.

"Haha, I'm looking for Brother Maori. Where is he? Why can't I see him?" Officer Megure looked around but didn't see him. His doubtful eyes slowly fell on Chu Ming, "Brother Maori is not here?"

The implication is, how could there be a murder if the God of Plague is not around? Have you been infected by Kogoro Mori?

"..." Feeling vaguely implied, Chu Ming pulled Conan, who was lost in thought, to the front to block Inspector Megure's sight.

"Brother Chu Ming, you are encountering more and more cases..." Inspector Megure's vision was blocked, but this did not affect his complaints.

Chu Ming patted Conan's head and said, "I haven't encountered many of them. Conan is the one who follows Uncle Maori and is never absent."

Inspector Megure looked at the short Conan in front of him and didn't take it seriously. He looked down at the document bag taken out from the deceased's arms and sighed: "I don't know what this Dyin-death information of the deceased means..."

Originally, Inspector Megure wanted to express it in English as usual, but when he thought of the presence of Judy, who didn't speak Japanese very well but loved to correct other people's English, he silently changed his words.

Takagi ran over and handed the search information to Officer Megure. It is currently known that the deceased was a detective who was asked by the president of a company to investigate the embezzlement of public funds in the company. Now the information in the file bag has disappeared, which means that the murderer is the person who embezzled the company's funds.

This Detective Nakajo gave the president a list of suspects a few days ago. There were fifty-eight people in total, and the suspect was one of them.

Isn’t this the most luxurious lineup in history—a super unprecedented high-end game, with one in fifty-eight to choose from.

"It's not easy to check the itineraries of so many people... Brother Takagi, take someone to check the alibis of everyone on the list." Officer Megure was a little distressed.

Chu Ming touched his chin and said, "In fact, we can do two things at the same time. On the one hand, we can interpret the death message left by the deceased, and on the other hand, we can find out who embezzled public funds in this company. It may not be easy for detectives to investigate these things, but it should be easy for the police to investigate. We can go to the bank to see who has an extra amount of unknown funds in their account recently. Then we can bring them here for questioning, and we will know."

Inspector Megure, with a look of realization on his face, asked Chiba to go to the bank to check. Chu Ming looked at Conan running around outside looking for clues, smiled slightly, and said, "Sorry, little detective, it seems your joy of solving puzzles will be over again."

Sure enough, not long after, Officer Chiba came back from the bank: "Officer Megure, on the list I gave you so far, only one person's bank account has had funds flow through. Although there are traces of balance, the traces of the specific flow of funds will not disappear."

"Who is it?" Inspector Megure became excited instantly.

"Kuniyoshi Bunta. His way of balancing the accounts is not very sophisticated, and he can be easily discovered."

Officer Megure stood up and waved to the police officers around him with high spirits: "Let's go upstairs to arrest someone!"

Conan finally thought of a clue and wanted to remind Officer Megure, but found that Officer Megure was nowhere to be found. He could only ask the forensic police officer who was finishing up taking pictures.

"You mean Officer Megure? He was just drinking tea with Mr. Chu Ming in the tea shop over there. Later, Chiba went to the bank and found evidence of embezzlement of public funds. They are still preparing to go upstairs to arrest someone."

Conan's mind and eyes were full of question marks. What's going on? He just solved the code, and you tell me it's useless to solve it. Have you already found it?

Are you so unconventional? This is a detective mystery comic!
