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

Chu Ming rushed back to the vicinity of the train stop and retrieved the robot. Just as he was about to leave, a sudden inspiration struck him. He weighed the robot in his hand, which had now reverted to its original module form.

Yes, with the robot around, he doesn't need to worry about Ai Haibara not properly researching the antidote after he sends her back this time.

If she slacks off, they'll put her back in the organization and let the robot go to school with her face on its back.

Even if Conan notices something's wrong, he still has to help cover it up.

If it weren't for the fact that Ai Haibara still needed to play a role in the upcoming big drama, Chu Ming would have even considered not letting her go back this time, letting her take this opportunity to go into seclusion and figure out the antidote, so she wouldn't have any peace around Conan~

Tsk, Ai Haibara will definitely thank him then, right? After all, he made sure Ai Haibara had no worries.

Meanwhile, Conan had just finished a phone call with Subaru Okiya, who said he would mobilize the FBI and do everything possible to rescue Ai Haibara.

Making such a promise undoubtedly means that Subaru Okiya actually failed to track down Ai Haibara.

Conan hung up the phone in frustration, and to make matters worse, Kid called at the same time, telling him that someone in the organization had recognized his face and mistaken him for Shinichi Kudo, and that they had already reported Shinichi Kudo to Gin that he was still alive.

Since it was too complicated to explain over the phone, Kid arranged to meet Conan on the rooftop of the abandoned observatory.

When Conan arrived at the agreed location, it was already late. Kid was sitting on the rooftop with one leg hanging down naturally and the other leg slightly bent. He loosened his bow tie with one hand, letting the night wind sweep through his tuxedo cape.

Seeing Conan arrive, Kid turned to look at him and sighed softly, "Great Detective, you've really gotten me into trouble this time. You talked about offsetting things... but you didn't even say we were facing a yakuza organization!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen." Conan scratched his head in distress and sat down next to Kid. He thought this plan was flawless, and with his and the FBI's prior arrangements, they should be able to keep it from the organization. He didn't expect to lose both his wife and his army. Not only was his identity exposed, but Ai Haibara was even arrested.

"How did you escape? What about Ai Haibara, who was taken away with you? Do you know where she is?"

Kidd couldn't reveal Lucifer's existence, so he could only vaguely recall what Lucifer had told him, saying that after the people in that organization discovered he wasn't the real Sherry, they immediately gave him anesthesia, and he had anesthesia antibodies, which is why he woke up early.

But when he woke up, he found that his disguise was gone, and there were only a few people from the organization around him. He also heard someone making a phone call to a man named Gin, saying that they had found Shinichi Kudo alive. He then took advantage of the others' inattention and threw a smoke bomb to escape...

"Could it be Granburg? Why, why would he do this?" Conan frowned, his thoughts in turmoil.

Upon hearing that Kid's disguise had disappeared, Conan's first thought was Granbury. After all, within the organization, the only one skilled in disguise who would expose Kid's face to the organization could be him...

But why?

Granbury had been helping him cover it up before, so why is it happening so suddenly this time?

"Because you underestimated the organization." A sudden voice came, and Conan and Kid both jumped up and looked towards the stairwell.

"Granbury?" Conan's eyes widened as he watched the figure slowly emerge from the dark stairwell. "How did you know we were here? Where's Ai Haibara? Was she taken away by Gin?"

Chu Ming, disguised as Granburg, who had been tracked down by Conan's miniature locator, leaned against the rooftop door with an indifferent expression. He ignored Conan's question and spoke to himself in a cold tone: "The organization's power is far greater than you imagine. Stop being so reckless as to keep jumping around in front of the organization. I clearly warned you last time, so why did you get involved in the organization's mission again?"

"I didn't mean to get involved, this was an accident—" Conan was clearly trying to make an excuse, but Chu Ming raised his hand to stop him.

Chu Ming curled his lips into a smile, took two steps forward, and the moonlight shone through the old glass dome, scattering his shadow and making his backlit face appear particularly cold.

"None of that matters anymore. You're like a lucky manga protagonist, always having someone willing to sacrifice themselves to save you whenever you're in trouble~" Chu Ming said, a USB drive with a special mark appeared on his fingertip at some point. He tossed it to Conan. "I made a deal with Sherry. She'll be going to the organization's lab to do research from time to time, and in return, I'll help you this time."

Conan hurriedly took the USB drive, and was about to ask something when he was stunned by the news Chu Ming had released, and his eyes showed a little helplessness: "Huh?"

“Before it was Brown—” Chu Ming paused, deliberately skipping the name, chuckled, and said in a malicious tone, “This time it’s Sherry. Someone always has to pay for your recklessness. I just wonder how you’ll fight the organization after you’ve dragged down everyone around you.”

Conan clearly hadn't missed Chu Ming's words. He was inexplicably intrigued by the unfamiliar name, and, already full of questions, eagerly followed Chu Ming around, pressing him for answers: "Brown? Who's that? And what's this USB drive for? What deal did Sherry make with you? Is she safe now? And, you…"

Chu Ming got annoyed by Conan's nagging, raised his hand and pressed down on Conan's head. His smile was faint, but it didn't reach his eyes. However, it revealed a surging chill: "You have too many questions. If you keep nagging me, I'll poison you until you're mute."

Seeing that Conan had quieted down, Chu Ming lowered his eyes and continued, "You should worry more about whether you can successfully dispel Gin's suspicions this time. Sherry won't die; I still need her to do some research."

Conan's fingertips traced the bulge on the USB drive, his heart filled with conflict. He had countless questions he wanted to ask, but he knew that the person in front of him wasn't Vermouth and wouldn't answer all his questions. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you remove the disguise from Kid's face?"

"it's me."

Hearing this answer, although he had expected it, Conan still couldn't help but catch his breath when Granburg admitted it: "Why?"

Seeing Conan's genuine confusion, Chu Ming couldn't help but laugh in exasperation: "You ask me why? Didn't you think of this when you asked for help? You knew he looked like you, yet you still let him show up in front of the organization? Didn't you consider the possibility that his disguise might be removed if he got caught?"

"Do you think that you're particularly impressive for being able to fight against the organization all by yourself until now?" Before Conan could answer, Chu Ming sneered, "But if it weren't for the people in the organization who have been helping you out time and time again, your flawed plans would have been enough to kill you eight hundred times over."

"This was truly an accident. Someone in the organization photographed Haibara's face, so I wanted to use this opportunity, along with the bomb Vermouth planted in the last carriage, to make you believe Sherry was really dead. At that time, the only one who could disguise himself and escape from the last carriage was Kid... even though you were the one who exposed Kid's disguise—"

He never imagined the plan would fail. Everything was arranged perfectly, but he got stuck at the very first step: Kidd's disguise was immediately exposed by Granbury...
