Thinking of what happened at the Twilight Villa, Chu Ming left the base overnight and went back home first. He looked into the yard of Dr. Agasa's house from upstairs and saw the sneaky figure of Conan the dog. He went downstairs to change his clothes and went straight to Dr. Agasa's house.

"Brother Chu Ming, is there anything wrong so late?" Conan ran over, opened the door, and stepped aside to let Chu Ming in.

"I just saw you appear in the yard of Dr. Agasa's house upstairs, so I came over to see you. I just happened to have something to tell you." Chu Ming said as he walked in.

In the living room, Dr. Agasa was on the phone while Haibara Ai was typing on the computer.

"What's the matter?"

"Last time, you called me and told me that you had an appointment to go to the Twilight Villa together, that is -"

Conan suddenly realized: "Ah, this, Dr. Agasa and I are also looking into this. Just now, Huibara told me that the documents left by her parents seemed to mention the Twilight Annex, so we suspect that the Annex is related to the organization. The doctor is now looking for his friends in this area to find out who all the people in the Twilight Annex are."

"Documents? What documents?" Chu Ming suddenly remembered the documents they had exchanged from GN Company before, and what Gin later told him that Shirley had taken away the research documents of the Miyano couple. He lowered his eyes as if to inquire about the news unintentionally.

Huibara Ai, who was working hard in front of the computer, turned her head and said, "A long time ago, when I was reading the research materials left by my parents, I found a research log in it. It mentioned that they had stayed in the Dusk Annex a long time ago. Unfortunately, I fled the organization too hastily, and I put the materials in a hidden place. I didn't have time to bring them out. Now I guess... Alas..."

"A secret place?" Conan was the first to get excited. "Why didn't you mention it before? Where is it? Let's go get it! Will your research on the antidote be much faster with that information?"

Ai Huihara pushed away Conan who was approaching with excitement and poured cold water on him: "I couldn't even get out of the base gate at that time, so of course I was hiding in the base! After I escaped from the organization, those guys destroyed the base in order to prevent the secrets from being leaked. I guess the data was also burned along with it."

Conan was completely depressed after his hope was destroyed.

At this time, Dr. Agasa's shout interrupted the conversation of several people.

"Shinichi, I found it out. After much searching, I finally found it out. My friend said he would send it to me later. -Huh?"

Conan and the others hurried over to take a look, then turned to look at Chu Ming in shock: "Brother Chu Ming, this, this is - your property rights?"

Chu Ming touched his head embarrassedly: "I was just about to tell you this, but the topic got sidetracked. This villa has been passed on many times. After you called me this morning, I felt that the name of this villa was very familiar, so I asked someone to check it for me. A long time ago, this villa was once in the hands of an elder in my family. When I counted my parents' inheritance last time, I found that it had been transferred to me. The property rights were just transferred a few days ago, so I plan to go with you tomorrow to see who is brazen enough to say that he wants to entertain guests in my villa without even discussing it with me..."

Conan's eyes were full of complexity, as if he was thinking, 'I thought he was just an ordinary rich guy, but it turns out he's much richer than I thought.' Fortunately, he has seen rich people before, so he was just shocked for a while before continuing, "Then the clue about the annex is broken again... Forget it, let's wait and see. Brother Chu Ming, will you drive to the Maori Detective Agency to pick us up tomorrow morning?"

Pick you up? Chu Ming thought of the cars that were blown up at the entrance of the annex by Chiken Kyoudai, shook his head decisively, and whispered to Conan: "Nagano is too far, it will probably take a long time to drive there, why don't we trick Uncle Maori? Let him drive, I'm not an adult yet, I can't drive for so long."

Conan thought about it and realized that driving for a whole day was indeed tiring, so it was better to let the experienced driver Kogoro Mouri drive.

Conan was taken home by Mouri Ran who came to pick him up. Chu Ming also wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by Haibara Ai. Chu Ming followed her into her underground laboratory.

Facing Chu Ming's curious eyes, Huiyuan Ai pondered for a while, raised her head and asked softly: "You-with your family background, why did you join the organization in the first place?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Because I'm the same as you, I have no choice."

Huiyuan Ai was obviously confused: "Your parents... are also——"

Chu Ming nodded, asked Huiyuan Ai to sit down, and patched himself up: "Same, but also different; your parents are researchers of the organization, and you are valued by the organization because of your medical talent, and you got a code name at a young age; although my parents are also researchers, my talent is average, and there is nothing particularly outstanding about me. With my meager fighting power, I can only barely survive among the peripheral members, and I have the privilege of choosing tasks."

Looking at Huihara Ai's somewhat apologetic eyes, Chu Ming continued to play the victim. He showed a shallow smile: "Life like this is pretty good now. I take on a small mission every once in a while, and the rest of the time I can arrange freely. I am living better than many members now. Although I don't know who will kill me while on a mission one day, I have this memory, which is already very good."

"sorry, I……"

Chu Ming waved his hands: "There's nothing to be sorry about." He was just making it up anyway.

He continued, "There was some private property in the inheritance my parents left me, enough for me to live a life without worries about food and clothing, so I have nothing to complain about. By the way, you just lied to Conan about the information left by your parents being burned, right? You didn't tell him because you were afraid he would get impulsive?"

Huihara Ai nodded with a cold expression, a rare hint of hesitation in her eyes: "The data is indeed still in the base, but it's not the base I was in before. If Conan knew about it, he would definitely take risks. It's actually quite good now. Gin saw his appearance but didn't think of it in the direction of Kudo Shinichi, which shows that shrinking the body is the best protection. It's actually not bad to live like this for the rest of my life."

"I'll find a chance to get it back for you, regardless of whether there's an antidote or not. But it's sometimes inconvenient to keep doing this. Besides, Gin can't make the connection when he sees Conan, but he will definitely be able to make the connection when he sees you shrink. After all, I heard that you followed Gin for a while when you were still a kid."

Huiyuan Ai thought for a while, then shook her head: "No, members outside the base don't have permission to enter, I can't let you take risks."

...The story seems to have been made up.

Chu Ming did not force it. Since he knew that Shirley had not taken him out of the organization, it didn't matter. Although the organization could not get the information, it could not lose it either.

Moreover, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions later.

The only pity is that Conan and his friends just had nothing better to do, so they checked the ownership of the Dusk Villa, and they found out that he is the owner of the Dusk Villa. It seems that he can't use Baileys' vest to cause trouble.

It’s a pity for Conan’s emotional value... But when he thought of the golden walls of the Dusk Villa, all Chu Ming’s heartache and reluctance disappeared.

My Golden Annex!!! I will come to see you tomorrow!!!
