Conan: Ran, I really am Shinichi, you have to believe me!

Page 36

In order to give Conan a normal childhood, in addition to giving him a loving home, I also want to give him a happy childhood with friends and peers.

So when I saw that situation, I immediately invited those three enthusiastic children home and threw a welcome party for Conan, letting them spend time with him, play with him, and give him a childhood full of love.

So in the original series, the Teitan trio arrived at the scene hiding in the trunk of their car. Now, thanks to Conan, they arrived in Megure's car.

However, after arriving at the apartment building, Conan was a little later than Megure because he hadn't practiced his entrance show yet during the rehearsal.

Chapter 59 Jiang Chengbei: The Metropolitan Police Department's specialty is faking suicide, so why didn't it work this time?

Seeing the surprised look on Jiang Chengbei's face, Inspector Megure continued to show off smugly:

“Brother Jiangcheng, you’ve also noticed that Conan is a bit different from the Conan before he became my son. He’s more mature, less radical, and doesn’t criticize our Metropolitan Police Department or our police officers all the time, right?”

All of this is thanks to me. I was the one who first gave Conan a loving care, which led to a 180-degree change in Conan, who had lacked love since childhood.

The love of adults, the love of family, the love of parents—we, Xiao Lü and I, can provide that. But the love that belongs to our peers—that can only come from those three little ones.

Jiang Chengbei: So you're saying I'm immature, that I'm extreme, that I'm an angry young man?

You bastard Inspector Megure, just you wait, I'll show you what I'm capable of when I get back!

“Brother Jiangcheng, don’t look at them with such doubt. I think they are very talented and they can definitely do it.”

The power of children can change people's hearts; you can't underestimate them. With their help, Conan will surely become a kind person in the future.

Jiang Chengbei: Oh, so you're implying I'm not kind again, Megure?

Jiang Chengbei muttered a curse to himself about Inspector Megure, then shook his head and said:

"That's not what I meant. I just find it strange that Mori was kicked out, but those three little brats following Conan weren't."

Aren't they afraid when they see corpses?

Reminded by Jiang Chengbei, Kogoro Mouri, who had been standing by watching the show, suddenly realized what was happening and angrily said to Inspector Megure, "Those three little brats can stay in there, so why should I be kicked out?"

"I didn't kick you out, how would I know why?" Inspector Megure shrugged at Kogoro Mouri, then continued:

"However, I have a guess. Maybe Conan knew that you used to talk nonsense and lead us into the wrong maze, only making things worse, so you were kicked out."

Kogoro Mouri angrily said, "I..."

Jiang Chengbei: "Brother Mori, there's nothing to be angry about. Think about Shinichi Kudo. Even if he's such a great high school student, he's still not as good as an elementary school student."

Was he angry in the face of this situation?

Conan, who is investigating a case: I'm furious! Jiang Chengbei, can you please stop mentioning Shinichi Kudo?!

With Conan in charge, the forensic team quickly found a strand of hair on the victim's hand. After comparison, the color and length were found to be very similar to Yoko Okino's hair.

Furthermore, the deceased was Yoko Okino's high school classmate and ex-boyfriend, Akiyoshi Fujie. They were forced to break up by her manager, and after a few years, she regretted it and refused to let go, disgustingly entangled with him again.

With so many entanglements, Yoko Okino is now the prime suspect, her manager is the second suspect, and then there's the actress Yuko Ike, whose earring fell under the sofa; people are currently being sent to find her.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri getting anxious and agitated over Yoko being listed as the prime suspect, and engaging in pointless arguments with the police, Jiang Chengbei came to his side and unleashed his sarcastic commentary skills:

"Mouri, it's all your fault, you fake fan! If you hadn't not only refused to take the blame yourself, but also interfered and prevented me from taking the blame, Yoko wouldn't be in this situation now!"

"hateful!"

Kogoro Mouri was rendered speechless by Jiang Chengbei's retort, and could only mutter "Damn it" in frustration.

"What's the point of you calling me a jerk now? Can you really help Yoko in the slightest?"

Sigh, forget it, what's the point of talking to a fake fan like you?

"Mouri, watch this! For Yoko, I, a true fan, would risk my life to save her from this hell. You fake fan, take note!"

Yoko Okino, who was being repeatedly questioned by the police and had been driven to tears several times, looked up at Jiang Chengbei after hearing his passionate shouts, and was momentarily stunned.

Compared to Kogoro Mouri, who is a lewd and fake fan, Jiang Chengbei, who is young and handsome and is willing to take the blame for her, is simply an angel in her life!

On such a terrible day, she was extremely grateful to meet Jiang Chengbei, a true fan who was willing to take the blame for her.

Then, Yoko Okino and Kogoro Mori saw Kojo Kita approach Inspector Megure and said:

"Brother Megure, didn't you say you wanted to thank me for saving your son Conan? Didn't you say you wanted to thank me?"

I'm in a really serious situation, a life-or-death situation, and I need your help. Your son Conan can repay the life he owes me.

Inspector General: "???"

“Brother Jiangcheng, speak your mind. Even if you didn’t save Conan’s life, I, Megure, will definitely help you.”

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that from you, brother."

My matter is actually quite simple. Your Metropolitan Police Department has done this all the time before. Now it's just a matter of asking Inspector Megure to move the time forward a little bit..."

"Brother Jiangcheng, just say it, stop beating around the bush. I'll definitely help you with your matter."

"Alright, brother, you're very straightforward. My question is: Brother Megure, can this case be closed as a suicide? The sooner the better, don't drag it out. Just like before, say it was suicide!"

"Pfft~~~" Inspector Megure, who was drinking canned coffee to stay awake, couldn't help but vomit all over Kogoro Mouri's face after hearing Jiang Chengbei's words. He was watching Jiang Chengbei learn how to save Yoko Okino.

After spraying Mori's face, Inspector Megure didn't bother to apologize. Instead, he raised his voice eight octaves and shouted at Jiang Chengbei with an incredulous and shocked expression, "What? Jiang Chengbei, what did you say?!"

Jiang Chengbei: Okay, now you don't even call me "brother" anymore. Inspector Megure, you change your tune pretty fast!

"Brother Megure, what I mean is: let's follow the Metropolitan Police Department's old rules and close this case as a suicide, just like all those unsolvable cases we've had before!"

"You bastard! Nonsense! When have we ever closed a case by suicide? This is slander, blatant slander! Jiang Chengjun, if you say another word, I'll arrest you!"

Seeing that Inspector Megure was truly angry, Jiang Chengbei, who needed his help, immediately smiled and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Inspector Megure, I misspoke. I shouldn't have slipped up. I'm sorry."

The Metropolitan Police Department is incredibly capable, and Inspector Megure, you are incredibly skilled. There's no case in this world you can't solve; you are the best policeman in the world.

After flattering Inspector Megure, Jiang Chengbei continued, "I misspoke before, I take it back."

Inspector Megure, didn't you say you were going to repay me?

I don't ask for much, just something like the case of Minako Mochizuki, the student from Beika Elementary School three years ago, which caused quite a stir a few days ago.

"I don't want Inspector Megure to do anything extra. Just copy how the Metropolitan Police Department handled the Minako case, and close it like before—it's a suicide."

"Baka! Jiang Chengbei, are you insulting me, insulting our Metropolitan Police Department?"

"No, absolutely not! I just wanted you to copy your old homework once, is that an insult?"

"I...you bastard!...I don't want to talk to you!"

After saying that, Inspector Megure stormed off. He really didn't want to talk to Jiang Chengbei, nor did he want to see his face!

Chapter 60 The Bet with Mori

Seeing that Inspector Megure had been driven away by his rebuke, and that he had coincidentally ended up in a secluded corner, Jiang Chengbei was overjoyed and chased after him.

Approaching Megure, he blocked everyone's view with his body and pulled out a stack of things, desperately stuffing them into Megure's pockets. Megure tried his best to refuse, and the two of them went back and forth, making quite a scene.

Those in the distance couldn't see what was stuffed up in Jiangcheng North; they could only see a stack of something that looked like money, being passed around between the two men.

At the same time, they couldn't hear what Jiang Chengbei and Mu Mu were saying, but they both looked happy and chatting happily.

In the end, it's unclear whether Inspector Megure accepted Jiang Chengbei's gift or not, but Jiang Chengbei left with a smile on his face and a somewhat smug expression.

Then, Jiang Chengbei used the same trick again, pulling Conan aside who was investigating the case, and spending some time alone with him. He then reenacted what had just happened, showing everyone that Jiang Chengbei was stuffing something in his mouth, but no one could see what it was.

Anyway, when Jiang Chengbei finally left and returned to everyone, he looked very smug, while Conan looked very unhappy. He secretly gave Jiang Chengbei a look of contempt from behind, while also showing his resentment that he dared not speak out.

"Brother Jiangcheng, what exactly did you say to Inspector Megure and Conan? Why are you being so secretive? What good stuff did you give them?"

Unable to contain his doubts, Kogoro Mouri was the first to ask a question.

"Of course, we'll continue with the previous topic. I'll have Inspector Megure and Conan fabricate a case and close it as a suicide."

As the second suspect, Eiichi Yamagishi was the most nervous. After hearing about Kojo Kita's actions, he desperately hoped for success and asked the question before Kogoro Mori could:

Did they agree?

Jiang Chengbei smiled and nodded without batting an eye, saying, "I agree."

"That's good." Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's reply, Yamagishi Rong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension on his face eased considerably. He also gave Jiang Chengbei a grateful look.

"Impossible! Even if you could fool a kid like Conan, someone as upright as Inspector Megure would never agree to that!"

At the same time, Kogoro Mouri also shouted in disbelief, he didn't believe what Jiang Chengbei said:

"Megure wouldn't have agreed just now, but how come he agreed after just one trip to the corner with you?"

"He just copied their abilities." Jiang Chengbei said calmly to the excited Kogoro Mouri.

"Of course, this kind of thing can't be agreed to in public. We can only have a pleasant collaboration if we go to a corner to talk about it privately."

"Superpowers? What superpowers? Jiang Cheng, are you a wizard who can control people's minds?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, everyone was shocked and took a few steps back, preparing to keep a safe distance from him.

"It's not that superpower, it's the 'money' power, the money power that everyone has in their wallets."

Although Jiang Chengbei said this, what he was thinking was: Of course he was copying homework, copying the divisive tactics that Prime Minister Cao used when he was beaten by Ma Chao and had to cut off his beard and change his robe, and then he chatted and laughed with Han Sui in front of Ma Chao.

After taking out his wallet, Yamagishi Eiichi said, "I see, I understand. Thank you, Jiangcheng-kun. I'll reimburse you for whatever you spent."

"No need, I'm also a true fan of Yoko. I'm willing to spend any amount of money for Yoko."

Unlike some people who pretend to be die-hard fans but reveal their true colors when asked to do something, I don't pretend to be a fake fan.

As for me, I'm even willing to take the blame for Yoko and go to jail for her, let alone a few coins—it's just material possessions, not worth mentioning.

Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's confession, Yoko Okino was deeply moved, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him.

Similarly, Yamagishi Eiichi was also deeply moved. If all fans were like Jiang Chengbei, how wonderful the world would be.

Standing to the side, Xiaolan felt that Jiang Chengbei's behavior was wrong and he shouldn't have done it, but she still envied Yangzi. How happy she was to have met someone who was willing to give everything for her.

Seeing Jiang Chengbei's behavior, Xiaolan couldn't help but think of Shinichi, and thus fell into a fantasy:

If something really happens, I wonder if her Shinichi would be willing to give up telling the truth and give false testimony for her sake?

While Ran was lost in her beautiful fantasy, Kogoro Mouri was the first to be unable to accept the reality and shouted:

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible! I don't believe Inspector Megure is that kind of person!"

Jiang Cheng, you must be lying to me, right?
