"Oh, I see." Seeing that Hattori and the others would become his juniors in the future, the man no longer bothered about how they got in, and enthusiastically invited them to join his club after they were admitted.

"That's for sure." Chu Ming smiled and took a look at the school badge on the man's body to confirm his name. "Then can Senior Chiyo give us a detailed introduction to the club? I see a lot of portraits hanging on the wall. Are these the former presidents?"

"You mean these portraits? Yes, these are our previous presidents. After they leave office, we will hang their portraits on the wall. For example, this senior Shangwu is the founder of our research club. It was he who applied to establish the research club, and this side——"

Seeing that he was talking nonstop and had no intention of stopping, Conan, relying on the fact that he was still a child, interrupted and said, "Big brother, why is there a photo missing on that wall? There is a piece of wall next to the last photo that has not changed color, which means that there was a photo hanging here before, right? Why did you take it down?"

"This..." Chiyo and the girl behind her looked at each other, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Chu Ming put on an apologetic look: "Oh, sorry, did he die in an accident? I'm so sorry, you don't have to take the child's words to heart, he was just a curious baby. I'm so sorry for reminding you of sad things."

"No, no, that's not the case." Chiyo waved her hands vigorously. "In fact, it's because Ito-senpai was expelled from school that we took down his photo. It's not that he passed away."

Chu Ming nodded in understanding, exchanged looks with the people behind him, and confirmed through eye contact that this senior Ito who had just appeared was most likely related to the matter entrusted by the client.

Kuroba Kaito stroked his chin and began to talk in a familiar tone: "Ah~ It's Ito-senpai, I remember his name seemed to be Ito Jiro, right?"

Chiyo was stunned for a moment: "No, the senior is Ito Suehiko, do you know him?"

"I guess so." Kuroba Kaito was vague. He walked to the photo on the wall and glanced at it. He pointed at a boy with long hair and said confidently, "I remember it's this guy, right?"

"No." The girl walked over and pointed at the short-haired boy next to him, "It's this one."

"Ah - it turned out to be him." Kuroba Kaito silently memorized the person, then touched his head embarrassedly, "It seems that this is not the Ito I know."

Chu Ming looked at Kuroba Kaito's textbook-style rhetoric, which should be the most commonly used rhetoric method used by Holmes.

People may not tell you information easily, but they will definitely be happy to correct your mistakes.

It seems that Douzi also likes to read Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes fans +1.

After saying goodbye to the two people from the research society, several people went out and stood in an alley. Then they began to look for their own tools, each showing their own magical powers.

Hattori called Osaka Takagi, also known as Officer Otaki, and began to inquire about the relevant information about Ito Suehiko. Kidd also began to call directly to inquire, and while answering the phone, he began to write and draw in a notebook, recording something.

Conan was the only one left staring at Chu Ming, who was also doing nothing, with dead fish eyes, and said sarcastically: "Shinichi Kirie, Hattori Kirie and Hakuba Kirie are all calling to ask for information, why are you standing here in a daze?"

Chu Ming put one hand in his pocket and looked down at him: "Because Gege is useless, he has only been wandering around outside these years instead of solving cases properly, so he doesn't have many acquaintances in the Metropolitan Police Department. He is not as powerful as Hattori and Hakuba. Alas, it's no good~ The so-called Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era is just a boast~"

"..." Conan gritted his teeth. He never thought that he could get himself into trouble. So this kind of thief who uses other people's identities and maliciously slanders them is really annoying!!!

After Kuroba Kaito finished writing, he closed the notebook, with a look of "I want to eat dessert" written all over his face: "Should we go to the restaurant near the school to eat? Once the blood sugar level drops, the brain will also be not so sharp."

"Idiot, how can you have the mood to eat now?" Hattori scratched his head irritably. The bomb on the bracelet was going to explode at ten o'clock, and it was already past two o'clock, and he just had a clue. "We still know nothing about Ito Suehiko, and--"

Kidd shook the notebook in his hand and raised his eyebrows proudly: "But I have already got all this information~ and I already know what's going on~ Let's go and have dinner~"

Watching the smug-looking 'Hakuba Sen' walking past him, Hattori felt as if he was being outdone.

Conan also secretly glanced at Hattori. He didn't feel so bad after being hit by Chu Ming. He leisurely put his hands on the back of his head and said, "It's not hard to understand. After all, the Metropolitan Police Department is closer to Yokohama than Osaka. It's not surprising that he got the news first."

Watching Conan and Kidd leaving one after the other, Hattori looked at Chu Ming who was still standing there, and complained to him in a low voice: "These two guys are really annoying——"

"Indeed, how about we put them in sacks and beat them up later? What kind of sacks do you think they would like? The kind with Sherlock Holmes's face printed on it?"

"...I think Conan might like the one with Xiaolan's portrait printed on it." Hattori laughed and started joking too.

When they arrived at the university cafeteria, Chu Ming had good eyesight and could see from a distance the painful masks on the students' faces while they were eating, so when ordering, he just ordered a drink at random, and Conan and Kid each ordered a cup of coffee.

Only Hattori had just said that he had no appetite, so he was the only one who sat down with a large plate of curry rice. However, after taking the first bite, he frowned and said, "Wow, this curry rice is too disgusting. Why is there so much flour in it?"

Chu Ming took a sip of his drink and answered him perfunctorily: "Some university cafeterias have food like this. Those who understand will understand."

Kidd took out a small notebook and, while sipping his coffee, repeated to several people the information he had just received about Ito Suehiko.

Ito Suehiko is a major suspect in a robbery of an armored car that occurred on Bashamichi on April 4 this year. He is currently wanted by the police. After graduating from university, he opened an investment consulting company. A murder occurred in the office of that company.

Hattori was shoveling rice into his mouth while Kid was talking. Just as Kid finished speaking, he finished his rice and threw the spoon away with full enthusiasm: "Okay, then let's go to that company and take a look!!"

"..." Conan twitched his lips, "Didn't you say it wasn't tasty? Why did you eat it all?"

Hattori pretended not to hear at all: "Alright, drink quickly, and then we'll set off. I've already finished my meal, and you guys who are drinking coffee and beverages, why haven't you finished yet!"

Chu Ming took the drink slowly, raised his orchid finger and took a sip modestly: "Be elegant, don't panic."

"..."

Hattori's look was indescribable. He looked at Conan with sympathy. It was so pitiful. Not only did someone steal his identity, but his image was also ruined. It was simply a heart-breaking act.
