Conan shrank his head when Chu Ming glared at him with the eyes of the ultimate villain on TV, as Chu Ming called him.

Everyone looked at each other as Kazami Ryoki went upstairs. The director simply announced that they should take a break for half an hour to relax.

Kogoro Mouri followed Ruri Amashiro to reminisce about his junior high school life. Xiaolan followed him out of worry. Conan remembered something he had wanted to discuss with Chu Ming a long time ago, so he pulled Chu Ming out to the small garden at the door to chat.

Seeing that Conan seemed to have something to say to him, Chu Ming did not resist Conan's pull and followed him outside.

"Why do you suddenly have something to tell me? We've been out together for so long, why didn't you tell me last time we were out at night?"

When Conan heard Chu Ming mention the last time they went out at night, and thought of Chu Ming's straightforward way of shifting the blame, he choked and was almost interrupted by Chu Ming.

"Brother Chu Ming, your software..." Conan opened his mouth, not knowing where to start, and finally went straight to the point, "Why is the star of the promotion Chrissie Wynyard? Did she take the initiative to make an appointment with your company?"

Chu Ming blinked and understood what Conan meant, but he still pretended to know nothing and teased him with a smile.

"Do you think I didn't think of you when I had such a good thing? I asked Sister Yukiko before, and she said that she would help me shoot a commercial next time she comes to Japan. Don't be jealous, I haven't forgotten your mother. Oh, by the way, I also said that I would ask uncle to see if I could contact Okino Yoko, I forgot."

Conan waved his hand: "That's not what I meant. I didn't ask you to find my mom to shoot the commercial. What I wanted to say is that this Chrissie Wynyard is actually the Vermouth I met before! So I wanted to ask you whether you asked her to shoot the commercial or she sent it to you?"

"I took the initiative to find her." Chu Ming frowned slightly, "I have known her for a long time. Did you recognize the wrong person? Chris is not that kind of person. How could such a gentle person be Vermouth from that organization?!"

When Conan heard that there was something going on, he stared at Chu Ming with burning eyes: "You knew each other a long time ago? What's going on?"

Chu Ming groaned for a while: "Do you still remember the sister I always mention?"

"Of course I remember, the rich sister who was several decades older than you and gave you a newly released Lamborghini RAPTOR on your birthday?" Conan said a long list in one breath.

Chu Ming looked at him with magical eyes, a little surprised: "How do you remember it so clearly? Have you been thinking about my sister for a long time? I tell you, you already have Xiaolan, don't think of any crooked ideas of hanging out with rich women."

"Brother Chu Ming, don't talk nonsense!" Conan blushed and suddenly realized, "Could this sister you are talking about be Chris Wynyard?"

Chu Ming nodded, half-truthfully, "Yes, that's her. My mother used to know Aunt Sharon. Aunt Sharon held me and played with me when I was a kid. So when Chris met me, she recognized me the first time. She said she had seen me in her mother's photo album. Later, we became very familiar with each other. We often went out together. When my parents passed away, she was the one who stayed with me."

Chu Ming was not worried that Conan would suspect him because he knew Sharon and Chris. After all, Conan's own mother and Sharon used to be good friends. He couldn't possibly suspect that his own mother was also related to the organization.

Sure enough, Conan knew that Sharon was an actress before, and it was not impossible for her to know Chu Ming's parents. Although he was wary of Vermouth, he relied on the fact that Sharon would not have any thoughts about him during the full moon, so he dressed himself up as Haibara Ai to face Vermouth.

At first, he just thought that Vermouth was targeting Chu Ming because of him. What if she was just attracted by Chu Ming's identity like she did to Dr. Arata before, and wanted to disguise herself as Chu Ming to get close to him and Xiaolan.

Now that she knew that Chu Ming and she were old acquaintances, her worries were alleviated a little.

"Brother Chu Ming, this is about that organization. When have I ever joked with you? But since she and you are old acquaintances, she shouldn't harm you. But you have to be careful, Brother Chu Ming."

Conan looked at Chu Ming worriedly and continued, "And Huiyuan is very worried. She didn't seem quite right when she came back from the press conference for 'Cocoon' last time. Especially after she saw the advertisement on TV, her face turned even paler. When you go back this time, go to the doctor's house to see her. I remember she is quite dependent on you."

"She's just mean-spirited. It's because you didn't listen to her advice and kept trying to show off." Chu Ming laughed at Conan, "Look, it's hard for you to ask her for an antidote now."

Conan was silent for a while, then he opened his mouth: "Brother Chu Ming, do you know? We met Gin's younger brother at the press conference of Cocoon..."

"Can you speak without breathing too hard?" Chu Ming rolled his eyes. He thought his disguise was so crude that Conan could see it.

"I'm just a little uncertain. The probability of me running into Gin's family members is too high recently..." Conan rubbed his brows. "I met Gin and his girlfriend in Osaka before, and I met Gin's sister when I was camping with the doctor and others. Now I met Gin's brother and Gin's girlfriend at the press conference of 'Cocoon'..."

"My brother and Gin's girlfriend?" Chu Ming was trying to hold back his laughter, but his face was full of surprise. He then teased Conan with a sly smile, "Do you think Gin has green hair?"

"...Brother Chu Ming, why are you focusing on this?" Conan rubbed his forehead helplessly. In fact, he also wanted to gossip, "But I think Gin and that so-called girlfriend might be... emmm... the kind of relationship that adults often have, right?"

Listening to Conan blushing and talking vaguely, Chu Ming helped him finish his words: "One-night stand?"

"Ahem..." Conan coughed a few times, his face red as a monkey's butt, "Brother Chu Ming, please be more tactful."

"Oh, you think they are doing something?" Chu Ming touched his chin, "That shouldn't be the point. You're saying that my focus is off. You're not right either!"

"Okay, okay, what I want to say is, has the organization discovered me or Haibara Ai? No, not discovered, they at least suspect us, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people appearing near us..." Conan muttered to himself, scaring himself, which benefited Chu Ming who was next to him, as he suddenly gained a large amount of points.

So Chu Ming didn't remind Conan maliciously, but nodded seriously: "It's very likely. Do you feel that there are any strange people around you recently? Or do you feel that someone is watching you?"

Conan frowned in thought and slowly shook his head.

Chu Ming continued to think with his head down: "You said last time that Teacher Judy might have been taken away by them. Is there a possibility that she——"

"Impossible, Teacher Judy is from the FBI! She wouldn't do that!" Conan immediately refuted the possibility raised by Chu Ming, but it seemed more like he was comforting himself.

Because the points on Chu Ming's system panel clearly describe Conan's turbulent emotional ups and downs.
