I'm writing a novel in Ming Ke, if you mess with me, you'll be the heroine
Chapter 62: Death of the Innkeeper
——Nine o’clock in the evening.
Chu Ming firmly rejected Conan's proposal to sleep with him tonight and ignored Conan's resentful look.
What is he complaining about? He hasn't complained yet. Although he fell asleep in time in the early morning, the beautiful dream he missed can never come back. This dream of Gin bowing to him may be the only one in his life!
After dinner, everyone drank tea and ate snacks in the restaurant while waiting for Boss Jingu to arrive.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no one show up, Chu Ming slumped down on his chair and asked, "Why hasn't anyone shown up in such a long time?"
Several people nearby were also dissatisfied: "The rumors can't be true, I heard that Boss Jingu holds this kind of event every year to attract more people to his hotel, but the questions are always difficult and people return empty-handed. I don't think he really wants to hold this event, but wants to use it to show off his first-generation collector's edition books!"
After sitting there for more than three hours, everyone who had been able to wait patiently became impatient. The hot-tempered Fujisawa slammed the table and stood up: "Damn it, I can't stand it anymore, I want to go back to my room and sleep!"
Ignoring the waitress's attempts to stop him, he went straight back to the room, and the people around him followed him back. After all, it was getting late, past twelve o'clock, and the older people would have probably taken a nap under normal circumstances.
When Kogoro Mouri saw someone going back, he couldn't sit still anymore and quickly got up and went back to sleep.
Xiaolan was a little moved and asked Conan beside her: "What about you, Conan, do you want to go back?"
Conan shook his head without hesitation: "Sister Xiaolan, I will wait a little longer."
Xiaolan nodded. She was a little worried about Conan being alone in the hall, and she didn't want to leave even though she was very sleepy.
Chu Bai had made up for the day's sleep and was feeling pretty good. He said to Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, why don't you go to bed first? I'll stay with Conan here."
Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't hold back her eyelids from fighting, so she nodded. After saying good night to each other, she went back to her room.
Time ticked by, and many people left because they couldn't stay up late. There were only six people left in the hall - the waitress, the college couple Kento Toba and Aya Ooki who had argued with Kogoro Mouri at the beginning, Hattori Heiji who was secretly depressed because Shinichi Kudo didn't show up, and Conan and Chu Ming who was bored and lying on the table, making origami frogs and jumping all over the table for entertainment.
Hattori Heiji rubbed his eyes, which were already beginning to become difficult to open: "No, no, I'm so sleepy, I can't hold on any longer, I want to go to sleep too."
Ooki Ayako was also a little tired, and said to her boyfriend, "Yanren, I don't think it's a good idea to just wait like this, why don't we go back to our room and sleep."
But her boyfriend obviously had a different opinion. He shook his head and said, "Ayako, wait a minute. Whoever leaves first at this time will lose. If you wait a little longer, maybe - what is that? The innkeeper seems to be driving."
He accidentally looked out the window and saw a car slowly driving out.
"Really? It's really the boss. Looks like the quiz is finally about to begin!"
Conan and Hattori also quickly squeezed to the window, but Chu Ming was stunned. Why were there so many magnetic fields glowing in the car?
"Wait, there's a cliff ahead, why doesn't he stop the car?"
Hattori opened the window, and Conan and he were about to jump down, but Chu Ming behind him climbed over the window frame, jumped out from over Conan's head, and quickly ran towards the car.
——So many magnetic fields! You are rich, you are rich, take your time, I will come soon!
Conan looked at the figure running away quickly, and couldn't help but sigh that Brother Chu Ming was still so kind-hearted, so he ran over as well.
Chu Ming ran after the speeding car and shattered the car window with an elbow strike. The magnetic field was absorbed quickly the moment it came into contact with him. He reached out to pull Boss Jingu and was about to pull him out when the car jolted and suddenly began to accelerate, speeding towards the cliff.
At this time Conan and Hattori also ran over and shouted desperately to the hotel owner, trying to wake him up, but it was useless. The car drove straight towards the cliff and fell down.
"Stop shouting, he's dead. I just touched his body and it was already a little stiff." Chu Ming stood on the edge of the cliff, watching the car fall and explode violently, and said lightly.
"Dead?" The waitress who came hurriedly was shocked.
Chu Ming, who now felt comfortable after absorbing the magnetic field, turned around and said to the waiter, "Please call all the people in the hotel over. A murder has occurred. Ask them to gather in the lobby."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
----------------
"What? The boss is dead?"
"Yes, it happened right in front of me. Both the man and the car fell into the sea."
Maori Kogoro yawned continuously, rubbed his eyes and looked speechless: "He must have committed suicide. I think he just couldn't bear to let you get that rare edition of Sherlock Holmes."
Chu Ming nodded and said to Conan and Hattori behind him: "Okay, uncle has helped us rule out the option of suicide. It seems that this is indeed a homicide."
"......?" Hattori Heiji was confused.
Chu Ming once again promoted the uncle's theory of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to Hattori: "Do you know that the uncle looks so nonsensical, but he can still be called a famous detective?"
Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes secretly. Who else could he rely on? It must be Kudo Shinichi who was hiding behind him!
When Conan saw Chu Ming starting to promote Uncle Mao's method of elimination again, he broke out in a cold sweat and went to look for clues alone.
Chu Ming saw Hattori's disdain and continued to explain to him: "Because the uncle's reasoning is to suppress first and then praise, first give the murderer hope, and finally throw the murderer into the abyss!"
Hattori became interested: "How do you say that?"
"If you don't believe me, you can look at my reasoning today. All my previous reasonings are the same. I always use all kinds of seemingly reasonable but easily overturned reasons to incriminate suspects other than the murderer, making the murderer think he has escaped. Then, when the murderer lets down his guard, he identifies the murderer in a lightning speed and produces decisive evidence! So before the uncle finally identified the murderer, all the murderers he identified before were 100% innocent. I call this the Mao elimination method! The strongest murderer elimination method!"
Hattori Heiji was stunned by Chu Ming's trick and blinked: "Is this true..."
He was skeptical, but thinking that solving the case was important, he put his doubt aside and went to observe the tire tracks carefully.
"Why are you looking at the tire marks?" Xiaolan asked puzzledly while looking at Conan and Hattori lying on the ground.
"I'm looking for something, eh——" Conan turned his head and bumped into Hattori again.
Hattori Heiji looked at Conan who bumped into him again, and wanted to say something, but he was stunned for a moment, looked at Conan with a strange look, and didn't speak for a long time.
"What are you looking for?" Chu Ming couldn't help but ask when he saw that no one responded for a long time.
"I was looking for water droplets dripping from the air conditioner. After all, it would be very helpful for the case. I didn't expect this little devil to suddenly come over..."
Chu Ming asked in surprise: "Air conditioning, what air conditioning, there is no air conditioning in the car?"
