In the brightly lit villa, Higashinari Shohei proudly introduced the framed wine labels hanging on the wall to Mouri Kogoro one by one.

Maori Kogoro was not very interested in these red wines, but in order to thank President Kusaka for his timely help, he used his best acting skills to praise: "Your collection here is really amazing, every one of them is worth savoring again and again."

This sentence seems to praise everything, but in fact it praises nothing.

But after hearing these few words, President Kusaka became excited: "You are indeed a famous detective. It turns out that you are also knowledgeable about red wine! To be honest, these collections are the treasures of a certain European nobleman. It took him a long time to collect so many labels, and each label is a famous wine. Look at this, this was at the wine tasting that year..."

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri looked confused but still had an interested expression on his face, Chu Ming curled up on the sofa, changed his posture and leaned back, recalling the information Gin gave him.

Risaka Shengping, the president of a financial company, makes his main income by collecting payments after lending at high interest rates for a long time. He once asked the Nisanhui for help in violent debt collection. After the Nisanhui's forces near Tokyo were cleared out by the organization, he turned to the organization for cooperation, but tried to gain control of the organization during the transaction. Simply put, he wanted to get something for free.

Chu Ming originally thought that someone who tried to rebel against the organization should be a money-loving guy who would value money more than his life.

But later he figured it out. Who made the organization try to keep a low profile and create a mysterious image?

Gin has also always asked members of the organization to keep a low profile. People who don't know much about the organization would most likely think it's some kind of fake organization and are not to be feared at all, so all kinds of monsters and demons come out.

Seeing how courteous Kusaka Shohei is to the detective Mori Kogoro, making him seem impeccable, I guess if he really knew the strength of the organization, he would probably want to beat himself to death for having a brain seizure.

At this time, President Kusaka's three guests were each holding a glass of red wine and savoring it carefully. Seeing that Chu Ming was staring at Maori Kogoro in a daze, Sotomura Jyoukichi thought he was worried, so he greeted them with a smile.

"I don't think Detective Maori will be able to get away for a while. President Kusaka loves to show off these things to others. Detective Maori just praised these collections, which must have made him even more excited. Do you want to try the wine that the president prepared? This is a drink with almost no alcohol content. Even the elderly and children can have a taste. It can beautify your skin."

Chu Ming leaned back slightly, with a look of rejection on his face, and replied to his kindness: "No, I don't like this, I just want to drink some water."

Sotomura Jōkichi did not force him. He smiled and shook the glass by himself, observing the drops of water produced when the red wine slid down the wall of the glass, and occasionally chatted in a low voice with Takeo Nonaka beside him.

After a while, Kusaka Shohei, who had finally shown off enough, came to the table with the sweaty Mori Kogoro. Mori Kogoro had a look of salvation on his face. He couldn't understand what President Kusaka was saying at all. After all, he knew nothing about red wine. If he was talking to him about beer or white wine, he would have a lot to say.

Kusaka Shohei stood in front of the dining table and held up the red wine that he was going to taste today. The labels of the red wine were all wrapped in paper bags. "Let's try something new today. Let Mr. Sotomura taste the wine and guess what each bottle is. If you can guess all of them correctly, I'll promise you what you said. How about that?"

Chu Ming glanced at Sotomura Jyoukichi. Just now, Chu Ming heard his conversation with Nonaka Takeo. He owed President Kusaka a lot of money, so he would not refuse this kind of game, especially when he looked at the wine, as if he was sure of winning.

Sure enough, Sotomura Jōkichi guessed the name and origin of the red wine one glass after another, which made Hikari Shohei's face become worse and worse. Finally, he tried to save face: "These are too simple. I have a bottle of collection in the wine cellar. You will definitely not be able to guess that. I will go get it now. Wait for me."

Seeing Kusaka Shohei turn around and go to the wine cellar, Sotomura Jōkichi and others' eyes flickered slightly, and they stood up, saying that they had spent too much energy guessing the name of the wine just now, and they needed to go out and move around.

The other two also stood up and went out, leaving only Maori Kogoro and Chu Ming and a few others still sitting in the living room.

After a while, Maori Kogoro took a few sips from the wine glass, his face full of confusion: "Why do I feel that the taste of these wines is no different? They are not even as delicious as beer. Could they be fake?"

"It's obviously because you, Dad, are a vulgar man who can't drink elegant wine, but you blame the wine for being bad." Xiaolan complained while drinking tea.

Conan was laughing at the side, and was seen by Maori Kogoro, whose face turned black and he punched Conan on the head: "Stinky boy, if you don't know how to speak, you don't have to speak!"

???

Conan covered his head with his hands, looking confused. What did he say? He just laughed twice!

Maori Kogoro withdrew his hand angrily. He couldn't beat Xiaolan, so of course he could only vent his anger on this little brat. He put his hands behind his back and walked towards the courtyard as if nothing had happened.

Chu Ming poked the big bump on Conan's head with a suppressed smile, felt the direction of the magnetic field, looked at the direction where Maori Kogoro went out, and suggested to Conan and Xiaolan: "Let's not sit here. Mr. Kusaka has gone to get the wine and we don't know when he will be back. Why don't we go for a walk in the courtyard and get some fresh air?"

Xiaolan was the first to respond to Chu Ming's proposal: "Okay, when I came here just now, I saw that the flowers in the courtyard were blooming beautifully. Conan, can we go for a walk together?"

Watching the figures of several people walking out one after another, Chu Ming grinned secretly. He said that he was a lucky guy. Originally, they had to wait for the police to arrive before solving the case, but now the murderer could be caught red-handed by Mouri Kogoro. It was perfect.

"what are you doing?"

Sure enough, Chu Ming, who was hanging at the back, heard Maori Kogoro's shout. He quickened his pace and walked forward, just in time to see Nonaka Takeo using a clothesline to pick up President Kusaka's belt, preparing to stuff the president's body into the wine cellar through the glass window of the courtyard.

Oh, the evidence is solid and the perpetrator is caught red-handed. There is no need for Conan to appear this time. The timing is just right and it will not delay their next itinerary at all.

Chu Ming looked at the next schedule on the system panel. Hmm, it seems that it can be completed a little earlier than the scheduled time~

[Here's the thing. We had agreed to update two chapters today, but after writing this chapter, my inspiration ran out and I feel like I'm stuck. So - can I update you with a spoof irresponsible extra chapter_(:3」∠)_? Adjust it QAQ]
