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

The faint moonlight spread across the ground like mercury, casting mottled spots of light through the gaps between dense leaves. The spots of light flickered with the swaying branches.

A man dressed in white, wearing a mask, hat and sunglasses, wrapped tightly, stood in a pool of blood and dropped the person in his hand with boredom.

The bright red blood splashed on his white clothes, creating red plum blossoms that looked particularly evil under the moonlight.

The knife wound on the man's neck was so deep that the bone was visible. He fell to the ground with a shocked expression.

"Okay, the last one." A hoarse electric voice sounded.

He put away the knife, looked provocatively at the camera in the distance, then turned and left.

"This is the video that Officer Megure brought to show you this morning. This person knew there were cameras, but he still maliciously provoked the police. There were five dead people in total, all senior employees of Beika Construction. Apart from this commonality, they had nothing in common. The murderer was ruthless, like a professional killer."

Conan turned off the video and turned to look at Chu Ming: "Brother Chu Ming, do you have any clues?"

Chu Ming frowned: "They are all employees of Mihua Construction. Could it be related to yesterday's account book?"

Maori Kogoro said with a serious face: "We cannot rule out this possibility at the moment."

"What about Officer Megure? Did they find anything else?"

"This man looks very much like a professional killer who was wanted internationally before. He likes to wear white clothes and slit throats with a knife. His code name is Black Ghost."

"Nigger? I think he's quite white..." Chu Ming couldn't help but complain.

Maori Kogoro glared at him and said, "What black ghost? It's a black ghost! It is said that he claims that he can come and go freely in the dark even in white clothes, just like a ghost. Unpredictable."

"...Isn't he just a show-off?" Chu Ming retorted in a low voice.

Conan nodded in agreement.

Maori Kogoro stretched and opened a can of beer: "Officer Megure mainly wants us to be careful recently. After all, the disk was handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department by you. Someone might hire him to kill you."

Chu Ming nodded: "It's okay, I should be able to beat him, Xiaolan and the uncle are no problem, the main thing is..."

The three of them looked at Conan at the same time.

Conan blinked, "Neither have I—I definitely haven't been running around these past few days. I've definitely been following you guys!"

Chu Ming yawned, but there was no need to do so since he was the killer in disguise after all.

Since he chose to hand over the disk to the police, the loophole it brought must be plugged.

Three of the five dead had had contact with the organization before, and the other two were picked by Chu Ming by drawing lots in order to confuse the public.

The black ghost that Kogoro Mouri mentioned was killed by Gin some time ago, so Chu Ming borrowed his identity.

“I’m so sleepy…” Chu Ming supported his face with his hands, his eyes half closed due to sleepiness, and his long and dense eyelashes trembled slightly, like the flapping wings of a butterfly.

Chu Mingqiang opened his eyes, which looked particularly moist due to sleepiness. His light blue plaid shirt was loosely rolled up at his wrists. His cheeks were slightly puffed up because he was supporting his face. He looked like a lazy cat in the sun.

"Is there anything I can do? I'm going to fall asleep if I sit down any longer." Chu Ming muttered.

"Yes!" Kogoro Mouri had tidied up his clothes without him noticing.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"A bank was robbed in Beihu Town!"

Conan jumped up in a second: "Inspector Megure asked uncle to solve the case? I want to go too, I want to go too!"

Kogoro Mori punched him on the head and knocked him into the sofa.

"Why are you going? I'm not a witness to this case. Why are you calling me? I saw on the news that a bank was robbed in Beihu! I just remembered that I have an appointment for today's business at Mihua Bank. You better stay home, kid!"

Xiaolan stood up and said, "We didn't buy any groceries today. Dad, let's go with you. Let's go eat ramen on the way back~"

When he heard that there was ramen to eat, Chu Ming immediately picked up Conan, who was dizzy on the sofa, and looked at Mouri Kogoro with anticipation.

"…Aren't you sleepy? You should go back to sleep!"

"I can also sleep after eating!"

I sat outside the bank waiting area for a long time, but I didn't see Kogoro Mouri come out.

"Did the uncle sneak out of the window? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

Chu Ming folded the brochure given by the bank into a paper airplane to amuse Conan while making some comments.

"Nonsense, am I that kind of person?" Kogoro Mouri just came out and heard Chu Ming's muttering, and ran over angrily.

??? He doesn’t really have a buff that allows him to be heard 100% of the time when he says something bad!

"I just saw an abandoned bulletin board at the door. All bank bulletin boards used to have a section for citizens to publish their opinions. I even posted an advertisement for a tutor there before!"

"Is this true? Dad, you were once a tutor? That's incredible!"

"Who made me poor at the beginning? I married your mother when I was still in school, and I had to work everywhere to make a living."

"Hey, Dad used to have a hard time."

Conan smirked: "I think the ones who have had a hard time are the students you used to teach, right?"

Chu Ming looked disapproving: "Conan, what are you talking about? The uncle is so outstanding!"

Maori Kogoro put his hands on his hips and laughed proudly: "Not bad, Chu Ming is still a good judge of vision!"

Chu Ming nodded: "Then the meat on Conan's ramen will belong to me! He has no taste at all and doesn't deserve to eat meat."

"Hey, hey - Brother Chu Ming, you are too cunning! You are actually speaking against your conscience just to eat meat!"

"Conscience?" Chu Ming touched it and said seriously, "Oh no, I have no conscience."

Maori Kogoro rolled his eyes at their bullying: "I used to be a very good tutor. The student I taught for three years was finally admitted to the law school of Jonan University! Humph, I'll take you to see her after dinner. Her family lives in Beihua Town!"

----------------------

After eating and drinking, several people followed Kogoro Mori and moved forward.

"I haven't been here for a long time. It has changed a lot."

Kogoro Mori sighed as he walked.

"Hey, Dad, haven't you seen your students for a long time?"

"Yes, her name is Tanaka Kei, her father is a big lawyer, and he often invites me to have a drink after tutoring!" Kogoro Mouri fell into memories.

"It's because of this uncle that I taught for three years. I stayed for the sake of wine."

Conan pulled Chu Ming and whispered to him.

Chu Ming laughed. Indeed, this was very Maori Kogoro.

Suddenly, his eyes became sharp and he picked up Conan. Behind him, a red car was speeding past, honking its horn, leaving behind a strong gust of wind.

PS: There are three more chapters in the afternoon~
