Chapter 702 The Pot is Overturned
After not staying in the Maori Detective Agency for too long, Chu Ming took Conan directly to Dr. Agasa's house.
Conan had previously made an appointment with a few children at Professor Agasa's house to have curry rice together at the professor's house on the weekend. He had originally been preparing to go there after accompanying Xiaolan to the convenience store to buy the ingredients, but was delayed by Chu Ming for a while. By now, the children should have arrived.
Sure enough, when Chu Ming and Conan arrived, they saw Ayumi and Professor Agasa surrounding Haibara Ai, or to be exact, surrounding the pot in front of her. They were looking at the curry bubbling with steam in the pot with their eyes shining, especially Professor Agasa, who was holding a plate in his hand and muttering something like "taste it", but in fact the plate in his hand was full of rice.
"It seems that I came at the right time and got a free meal." Chu Ming said with a smile as he walked.
"Brother Chu Ming!" Huiyuan Ai slapped the doctor's restless hand away and jumped down from the chair in surprise. The pot was too high, so she had to stand on the chair to reach it. "Are you done?"
Chu Ming ruffled her and Ayumi's soft hair and said, "Yeah, I came to play with you guys as soon as I finished my work. Why are you the only ones here? Where are Genta and Mitsuhiko? They haven't arrived yet? They're not even active in eating."
Ayumi stood there, her hair was rubbed by Chu Ming unexpectedly, she said in a daze: "They went to buy drinks, they will probably be back soon."
Chu Ming nodded and saw Conan go to Dr. Agasa and take out his laptop to check something on the Internet. He didn't pay attention to this side, so he winked at Haibara Ai and went to the laboratory downstairs with her.
Although Ayumi was very curious about what Chu Ming wanted to whisper to Haibara Ai, after all, Chu Ming still had some influence from before, so she didn't dare to go over and eavesdrop, so she could only run back to Professor Agasa.
Chu Ming took Huiyuan Ai to the basement, closed the door, and asked Huiyuan Ai seriously: "Has Conan's identity been discovered by Vodka?"
Haibara Ai had originally let this matter go, but after hearing what Chu Ming said, she became anxious again, and the color on her face gradually faded: "Didn't Conan say that he contacted Granburch..."
Chu Ming nodded and comforted her: "I know about this, too. Granburch took over the follow-up investigation of this matter directly and forcefully, and asked Vodka not to mention it again. But Vodka is a big mouth in the organization, and it is basically a fantasy to expect him to keep it secret. So I made some preparations. Gin went to the United States to perform a mission some time ago, and he was not in the country during this period, so Granburch was able to suppress Vodka. In addition, I contacted Vodka specifically two days ago and expressed my willingness to help him investigate secretly. Don't worry, there is no problem for the time being, but you must be careful recently and don't let this happen again, otherwise it will be difficult to hide it next time."
Huiyuan Ai slowly calmed down and understood what Chu Ming meant: "I will watch over Edogawa."
The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a sound of breaking and Ayumi's sad cry from outside. Chu Ming and Huihara Ai looked at each other. Huihara Ai took the lead and ran up the stairs with a frown: "What's wrong?"
After going upstairs, Chu Ming discovered that the curry pot that was emitting a fragrant smell had overturned. A football that was smaller than the mouth of the pot was floating in the pot, sinking and sinking in the hot air. Ayumi's head and face were covered with curry soup, and she was crying sadly. Yuantai stood aside with a helpless look on his face, whispering an apology.
"What happened?" Chu Ming was dumbfounded when he saw the messy scene in front of him. His lunch flew away?
"Brother Chu Ming?" Genta and Mitsuhiko were very shocked when they saw Chu Ming following out behind Haibara Ai, especially Genta, who seemed at a loss with a guilty expression on his face.
They had just come back from shopping and didn't know Chu Ming was there too.
"It's all Genta's fault. Conan and I told him not to play the ball in the room, but he just wouldn't listen. As a result, he kicked the ball into the pot, and splashed Ayumi all over." Mitsuhiko complained quickly to prevent Chu Ming from settling accounts with him.
Before Chu Ming could say anything, Huihara Ai became furious when she saw Ayumi crying so sadly. She walked up and slapped Yuanta on the forehead: "You are so ridiculous!"
Yuan Tai was shocked by the beating, and he knew that he had made a mistake, so he bowed his head honestly: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I will reflect on it!"
Chu Ming held back his laughter and pulled up a rag, roughly wiping Ayumi's body: "Go take a shower, you can change into Xiao Ai's coat first."
Dr. Agasa had already taken out a coat of Haibara Ai from the closet and handed it to Ayumi, while Haibara Ai put her hair into a hat and stared at Genta with a stern face: "Because of your trouble, we have to buy ingredients to make curry again! Come on, all of you come with me!"
Conan and Mitsuhiko, who were innocently affected, dared not say a word under Haibara Ai's aura and could only nod hurriedly.
Conan suggested quietly, "Why don't you stay here and we can go shopping together."
Huihara Ai suddenly turned her head and glared at him, her eyes grim, and there seemed to be a raging fire behind her: "Shut up! If you are the only ones allowed to go, you will buy those weird things again! The doctor just asked you to buy drinks, and look at what messed up things are in the three big bags you brought back!!!"
Chu Ming raised his eyebrows and watched Huihara Ai angrily lead a few people out. He felt a little emotional. Looking at the momentum of Huihara Ai just now, she really looked a bit like Gin. She was indeed a person who came out of the organization...
When they went out, Ayumi was still humming a song in the bathroom while taking a bath, Professor Agasa was busy cleaning up the mess, and Chu Ming was lying on the sofa with a clear conscience, waiting for them to come back from shopping and eat the ready-made food, looking particularly leisurely and comfortable.
Not long after he entered the door, he felt that there seemed to be several bugs installed in Dr. Agasa's house. This should be done by Shuichi Akai next door. Chu Ming didn't care. After all, they were only installed in the hall. Every time he went to chat with Haibara Ai, he went to her basement laboratory. There were no bugs installed there, so Chu Ming was not afraid that he would hear something.
Just when Chu Ming was bored and leaning on the sofa playing Tetris, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Dr. Agasa was still busy with a rag in his hand. When he heard the bell, he leaned up from the floor and said, "Are these kids so fast? Chu Ming, go open the door so I don't have to wipe my hands again."
Chu Ming paused the game and walked towards the door with some surprise. Just after opening the door, his pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly turned around and avoided the electric shock device in the hands of a man wearing a black tights and a hood on his head at the door at a weird angle.
Before the man in black could react, Chu Ming dragged him into the room and hit him on the neck with his elbow. The man fell down without even a grunt.
Tsk tsk, he is worthy of being like this. He has been alert even after not exercising for such a long time. If it were Afu, he would have been knocked down long ago~
