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

Chapter 760 Toba Hatsuho

The next day, Chu Ming got up early, which was rare for him.

At dawn, he had already put on disguise and left the base. Following the micro-locator that he had installed on Toba Hatsuho last time, he prepared to secretly observe how she performed the task.

Last time, Toba Hatsuho gave Chu Ming a rough outline of her action plan, saying that she had wanted to take revenge before, so she had already become Izumi Jisaburo's exclusive personal assistant a long time ago.

In this operation, she will not only kill Director Izumi, but also get rid of all the people related to the Noh Mask Museum.

At the same time, she also expressed her loyalty to Chu Ming in the plan. At present, her sister has the right to inherit Director Izumi's estate, but after she kills all the relevant people, this art museum will most likely be taken over by her. At that time, she is willing to hand over this art museum to the organization for management.

Even if something unexpected happens, those noodles were all made by her father, so she can definitely take them all away. The value of those items is also very high, so she is willing to split the profit 90% with the organization.

Chu Ming was not moved at all by the pie that Toba Hatsuho painted for him. After all, all these promises were based on the success of her mission. If she failed, she might not be sure whether she could survive.

Because it was still early, Chu Ming followed the system navigation, climbed over the wall of the Noh Mask Museum and sneaked in.

This art museum doesn't look big, but through the front hall, there is a hillside with lush trees. According to the report by Toba Hatsuho, Director Izumi likes to worship the deity of the house every morning. After all, he had made too many grudges with people in the past, so he prays for the gods' protection.

Chu Ming roughly found a tall and dense tree and climbed up. The terrain here was not bad. Because of the lush branches and leaves, his figure could not be seen at all from below, but from his high vantage point, he could take in everything in the back mountain.

It is indeed an excellent monitoring location.

It was still early, and Director Izumi should have just gotten up. Chu Ming found a suitable position and half-lay on a branch, planning to take a break from his busy schedule.

But just as he changed his posture, he found a skinny old man sneaking towards him from the hall in front. Like a busy worker ant, he grunted and turned all the wood in the warehouse horizontally. Then he pushed the warehouse door tightly and fastened it with a knot that would loosen with a pull, to ensure that once the door was opened, the pile of wood would roll down the stairs.

Then, he tied a tough transparent silk thread to the knot and blocked the thread through the bushes on the way uphill. Once someone passed by and accidentally broke the silk thread, the knot would be pulled immediately to open the warehouse door.

Chu Ming watched him set up this series of traps and half sat up in surprise.

Could it be that Toba Hatsuho's so-called plan was to bribe others to commit the crime and then kill everyone who knew about it?

This is too...

But Chu Ming changed his mind and felt that it couldn't be said that her plan was bad. After all, no matter what the plan was, as long as she could ensure that she could cover herself, he would have no objection even if she simply killed the person brutally.

Chu Ming reserved his opinion for the time being and planned to continue watching.

As time passed, the sunlight, with a little warmth, gradually penetrated through the layers of leaves, casting sporadic spots of light on the ground. Chu Ming hid his shadow completely among the leaves and waited quietly.

Just as he was hiding silently, he suddenly heard a conversation not far away. Chu Ming looked carefully and saw Conan and Xiaolan following Mouri Kogoro, and a strange man walking from the front hall to the back hillside.

Why are Conan and the others here???

Logically speaking, Toba Hatsuho had calculated the time. Today is the art museum's holiday, so there will be no guests coming today. So what's going on with Mori Kogoro?

Chu Ming touched the disguise on his face, made sure there were no flaws, then squatted quietly on the tree, intending to see how the situation would develop.

He had excellent hearing, and the wind was blowing towards him at the moment, so he could clearly hear the conversation between Kogoro Mori and the others.

The strange man's name is Akaza Naruya, and he is considered a friend of Director Izumi. He came to visit today at the invitation.

The reason why Kogoro Mouri came here was because the detective agency received a warning letter stating that Director Izumi was being targeted and the criminal would be taking action during this period of time, so Kogoro Mouri was invited to come and solve the problem.

Chu Ming squatted on the tree, frowning tightly. Who leaked this news?

Could it be that besides Toba Hatsuho, there are other people who want to kill Director Izumi? But Toba Hatsuho should be able to find out this kind of information...

So, was Toba Hatsuho planning to kill someone with someone else's knife? Just like what he did before, when he found out that other people also wanted to kill the target, he would just go with the flow and call a detective to the scene. After the target was killed and the murderer was caught, she, who had no suspicion at all, could naturally take over everything...

Just as Chu Ming was wondering how Hatsuho Toba would complete the task, Conan and his friends had already met Director Izumi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and Hatsuho Toba, who was Jisaburo Izumi's personal assistant.

Director Izumi scoffed at the news from Maori Kogoro that someone would harm him, and didn't take it seriously at all: "I have received countless threatening letters at my position. I have never taken such tricks seriously, so just ignore it."

As he spoke, he gestured to Toba Hatsuho behind him to push his wheelchair and continue walking towards the place of worship. It was obvious that he had no intention of continuing to entertain Mori Kogoro and others.

But Maori Kogoro was unwilling to give up, so he followed him and walked forward: "But the other party has sent the news to me. It is better to believe it than not to believe it..."

Relying on his young age, Conan quickly walked up to Director Izumi's wheelchair and looked around.

The accident happened at that moment. As the wheelchair crushed the thin wire, the warehouse door slammed open, and countless logs that had been placed in advance rushed along the long stairs towards Director Izumi who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Conan was looking around, and when he saw the pile of logs rolling down, his eyes widened: "Run!"

The falling log made a loud noise. Toba Hatsuho pretended to be in a panic and tripped over a wheelchair. She then overturned Director Izumi's wheelchair with her backhand and sat down on the ground.

As for Kogoro Mouri and Naru Akaza, both grown men, they ran far away as soon as Conan spoke, without even looking back.

But Xiaolan and Conan did not abandon Director Izumi who fell to the ground and was unable to get up. One of them lifted Izumi's waist and the other held his legs, and they lifted him up and prepared to escape together.

Seeing that there was no way to kill him directly here, in order not to arouse suspicion, Toba Hatsuho quickly got up, helped hold Izumi's arm, and ran to the side.

The next second, the log hit the wheelchair that was lying on the ground, breaking it into pieces.

Looking at the wheels rolling to his feet, Izumi Jisaburo's face looked particularly ugly.
