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

Page 128

After contacting his colleagues, Yokomizo Sango suddenly remembered seeing a video of three little boys riding the same skateboards as Jiang Chengbei, speeding through the streets of Tokyo and causing multiple traffic accidents.

"Oh no, will Saitama suffer the same fate as Tokyo?"

Chapter 186 Conan finally finds Yukiko

The thing Yokomizo Sango feared didn't happen in the end, despite Jiang Chengbei's relentless pursuit, which drove the fleeing gunman to despair.

But Jiang Chengbei isn't Conan. When he chases someone, he doesn't frantically speed up to catch them. He just keeps them at a distance, as long as he doesn't lose them.

So after Jiang Chengbei passed Henggou for enlightenment, he hung at a distance. At the same time, he changed his clothes and casually skateboarded on the road.

Because Jiang Chengbei had changed his clothes and put on goggles, the gunman in the car thought he had shaken off the two people chasing him.

Jiang Chengbei, whom he had only met briefly, did not recognize Jiang Chengbei after he changed his clothes, so he thought he had finally escaped this time.

What happened next was simple. The murderer thought Jiang Chengbei was just an ordinary passerby skateboarding on the road, so he changed his clothes while driving, taking off the clothes he was wearing when he committed the murder.

After a 40-minute drive, they finally arrived near their destination. The murderer, now completely transformed and dressed differently, drove around for a bit and found a river.

After confirming that no one was around, he stepped on the gas and sped the car toward the river. When it hit the water, he jumped out of the car and let the car, which he had rented under a false name, plunge into the river.

The murderer thought no one saw him drive the car into the water and jump out, but Jiang Chengbei, who was carrying a night-time camera, recorded it all.

The reason Jiang Chengbei didn't arrest him on the spot was that he wanted the murderer to experience the feeling of emotional ups and downs.

After that, things were simple. Jiang Chengbei followed the guy who was wearing too many clothes and was covered in sweat, while continuously recording his movements with nighttime filming equipment.

As luck would have it, the guy who had just arrived at the scene first approached Ran Mouri, asking her and the others, who were currently participating in the Tenkaichi Night Festival, to take a picture of him with the Tenkaichi bonfire as the background.

While Xiao Lan was taking photos of herself covered in sweat, Jiang Chengbei also happily joined in the filming with his camera equipment.

Because Jiang Chengbei had changed his clothes, wearing a hat and glasses, the dark-skinned travel writer who called himself Sasai Kenichi didn't recognize him as the first person to rush out and stop him from escaping.

The murderer didn't recognize Jiang Chengbei, who had come to take pictures of him, but Conan recognized him immediately, and asked in a bad mood:

"Jiang Cheng, what brings you here? Weren't you supposed to be playing mahjong at the hotel with Uncle Maoli and the others?"

Upon hearing Conan's question, Jiang Chengbei quickly turned the camera around, pointing it at Conan who was holding a rabbit balloon bigger than himself, and said while filming:

"Conan, you're such a grown man, yet you're still playing with balloons like a child. You've really lost your childlike heart."

Just as Jiang Chengbei and Conan were talking, Yokomizo Sango and Mouri Kogoro, who had gone back to their police car, finally arrived with a group of police officers.

They were originally trying to figure out how to find the murderer, but seeing Jiang Chengbei and Xiaolan together, they immediately felt that the murderer must be nearby, so they ran over and asked:

"Jiangcheng, where is the murderer?"

Upon seeing Jiang Chengbei point at the black-skinned Sasai Kenichi, Yokomizo Sango and his henchmen rushed up and surrounded Sasai Kenichi, pulling out their pistols and aiming them at him.

Having already completed his alibi, Sasai Kenichi immediately raised his hands and pretended to ask, "What's wrong, officer?" but a smug look couldn't help but show in his eyes.

Especially when he saw these two guys who had chased him for hundreds of meters on foot, his eyes became even more smug: Even if you find me now, I have an alibi, what can you do to me?

Then, Jiang Chengbei deliberately didn't step forward. Instead, he had Sasai Kenichi produce his pre-prepared alibi. Wearing the same clothes, he combined some photos taken here last year with the latter half of the photos taken here at this time this year to form his current alibi.

With his alibi in hand, Sasai Kenichi showed off to the police, leaving them helpless and worried. Only then did Jiang Chengbei produce the video he had taken of Sasai Kenichi, especially the scenes of him driving his car into the river, jumping out of the car, and asking Xiaolan to take pictures from behind.

After the murder weapon and disguised clothing and hats were retrieved from the abandoned car section of the river provided by Jiang Chengbei, the evidence of Sasai Kenichi's murder of Imaizumi Satoshi was conclusive.

His alibi, however, was invalid because the first part of the photo was taken last year, which Jiang Chengbei easily found flaws in.

After witnessing Jiang Chengbei's despicable behavior, Sasai Nobuyoshi was so angry that he developed high blood pressure even though he didn't have it before.

This young man was clearly present the whole time, but he didn't produce any evidence earlier. He just wanted to see him make a fool of himself and make him perform the murder method he had planned for more than a year like a clown. He only brought it out to humiliate him when he was at his most triumphant. Sasai Kenichi was really furious.

At the height of his triumph, when the police were helpless against him and he thought he could escape legal punishment, someone produced evidence proving that he was the murderer. Sasai Kenichi's feelings now are worse than if he hadn't run away and had been caught by the young man who grabbed him after firing the gun!

After taking Sasai Kenichi to the police station, Jiang Chengbei and the others also went to the hospital to visit Inspector Megure, who was undergoing surgery to remove the bullet.

By the time Jiang Chengbei arrived at the hospital, Inspector Megure had already completed his minor surgery and was lying in bed.

Although he is not seriously injured now, he was shot in the thigh and his mobility is not very convenient, so his nationwide trip is canceled.

With Midori Megure taking care of them that evening, Jiang Chengbei and the others returned to their hotel to rest after visiting Megure.

Although two murders occurred today, Jiang Chengbei was not involved in the case at the shrine, so he only received 2 kill coins and 1 transformation opportunity today.

Meanwhile, a time-traveling background camera has been added to the Ke Xue Shop.

Time-Space Background Camera: When taking photos with it, you can choose any location at the current time as the background, which is equivalent to saving the Photoshop step, and the photos taken are completely without any Photoshop traces.

For example, right now, Jiang Chengbei is in a hotel in Saitama Prefecture. He has this camera and could easily take a picture of himself with the Eiffel Tower in the background, even though it's still daytime.

Even if someone happens to be urinating under the Eiffel Tower right now, Jiang Chengbei can still capture the scene and include it in the background of the photo.

Therefore, this is not just an automatic Photoshop camera, but also a camera that can monitor and spy on others in real time and space. However, the location for spying is too limited, restricted to world-famous tourist attractions and scenic spots, and cannot be used to spy on non-touristy places.

This camera is still somewhat useful as a toy, so Jiang Chengbei spent 1 kill coin to buy it. In this way, he still has 11 kill coins left, enough for 9 transformations into Conan/Shinichi Kudo.

-----------------

The next morning, Conan and Ran brought breakfast to visit Inspector Megure, and also let Midori, who was on night watch, go back to the hotel to rest.

Perhaps the world's will felt that Jiang Chengbei's absence presented a good opportunity, so not long after Mumu Green left the hospital, a murder occurred there.

Having learned from yesterday's experience at the shrine, Conan didn't bother the Coral Head Officer who disliked him this time. After investigating the case, he directly anesthetized Inspector Megure, who was lying in the hospital bed.

A few minutes later, following yesterday's eye-opening experience of Kogoro Mouri's deep sleep, today's sight of Inspector Yokomizo's colleague, Inspector Megure, also deeply impressed the flamboyant Inspector Yokomizo with his sleeping state in the hospital.

So, a day later, after becoming a fan of Kogoro Mouri yesterday, Yokomizo Sango also became a die-hard follower of Inspector Megure.

For the next few days, because Megure needed to recover from his foot injury in Saitama, they stayed in Saitama temporarily, sightseeing and visiting various attractions while waiting for Megure to recover.

During the few days they stayed in Saitama Prefecture, it seemed as if the old man was trying to make up for the cases that Jiang Chengbei had stolen. Whenever Jiang Chengbei and Conan were not together, Conan would always encounter some murder cases.

Moreover, Kogoro Mouri is often right next to Conan.

So, after a considerable delay, in the auspicious land of Saitama Prefecture, the sleeping Kogoro, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, gradually made his name.

When he's sober, he talks nonsense, jumps around in circles, and his reasoning is full of loopholes. But as soon as he finishes his shamanistic dance and sits down to sleep, Kogoro Mouri becomes a completely different person. He speaks clearly, his logic is sound, and his reasoning is perfect. Instantly, he possesses all the qualities of a great detective.

Because of his dramatic transformation, compelling storyline, and ability to generate buzz, the "Sleeping Kogoro Mouri" quickly became famous thanks to media hype.

Seeing that Saitama Prefecture, which previously had no cases for a month, was now seeing several murders every day, effectively creating a famous detective like Kogoro Mouri, the police officers at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they managed to raise enough money to drive Conan out of Tokyo, otherwise the situation in Saitama Prefecture would have fallen on their shoulders.

After Conan and Kogoro Mouri went to the Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters and gave a statement, several police officers died in the process. The people there finally learned about Conan's death story from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Now, the "No Entry for Conan" sign has finally left Tokyo, with Saitama Prefecture becoming the first place to respond to this call.

After learning about and verifying the information, the police in Saitama Prefecture joined forces, sending local specialties and plane/bullet train tickets, all in an effort to get Conan and his friends to leave Saitama Prefecture as soon as possible.

Japan is so big, they beg Conan to go and wreak havoc elsewhere. He's been in Saitama Prefecture long enough, he's seen all the sights and visited all the places he wanted to visit. Conan, you can leave now.

The police started chasing them away, so Conan and his friends had no choice but to leave.

At Saitama Station, Kojo Kita split into two groups. Megure and Midori, whose foot wounds hadn't healed and who were using crutches, took a train back to Tokyo.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chengbei, Conan, and the Mori father and daughter, armed with various train tickets and discount coupons from the Metropolitan Police Department and Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters, continued their free travels across the country.

Having learned from their experience in Saitama Prefecture, Jiang Chengbei didn't linger in any one place this time. As soon as Conan completed a check-in and solved a case, they would leave immediately, lest the local police find out about Conan's reputation as a grim reaper and turn him into a rat that everyone wanted to kill.

Fortunately, computers are big, expensive, and bulky nowadays, and they haven't become popular yet. So, as long as newspapers and television don't report on Conan's death, people in other places don't know Conan's name.

Fortunately, Jiang Chengbei didn't mention the word "Grim Reaper" in front of reporters and the media, so they weren't enlightened by Jiang Chengbei like Inspector Megure was, and didn't realize that Conan was a Grim Reaper who brought death wherever he went.

Jiang Chengbei's constant wandering and travel, solving one case and then moving on to another, actually benefited Kogoro Mouri, whose reputation as the sleeping detective grew ever stronger.

Along the way, they encountered only original cases. Jiang Chengbei had nowhere to find the answers, so this amateur case couldn't compete with Conan, a professional case. Conan always deduced the answers and found the culprit first.

Given Jiang Chengbei's lack of cooperation and reluctance to be anesthetized, Conan's best option is to avoid realizing anything is wrong afterward, accept the blame, and then gloat over it like Kogoro Mouri.

Therefore, Conan, who solves cases quickly, always uses Kogoro Mouri as his investigative tool.

Now, Kogoro Mouri, a tourist detective who has already gained some fame throughout the country and is also the sleeping detective, has arrived in Gunma Prefecture.

They've long since switched to a different mode of transportation, using a car rental coupon from the Metropolitan Police Department to rent a car almost for free, and they drive around all over Japan.

Without GPS to help them locate themselves in Jiangcheng North, the directionally challenged Kogoro Mouri, guided by the less directionally challenged Ran, finally got lost in a rural area of ​​Gunma Prefecture.

Fortunately, late at night, they finally found a wealthy family named Yabuchi and successfully stayed there for the night.

The next day, after resting there for a night, the Yabuuchi family heard that Kogoro Mouri was also a detective, so they asked him to identify whether an old man who had returned from Brazil was really their Uncle Yoshifusa Yabuuchi.

"You can't even tell your own uncle apart?" Kogoro Mouri was genuinely shocked after hearing their request.

“Uncle Yifang went abroad when we were very young. We haven’t seen him for decades, so our memories are hazy. Plus, so much has changed over the years, it’s normal that we don’t recognize him.”

Amid Kogoro Mouri and his group's boisterous discussion, the roar of a high-powered motorcycle echoed outside the wall. After the motorcycle roar subsided, there was a knock on the gate.

After Hiromi Yabuuchi went to open the door, Conan heard a familiar voice outside. He felt that the voice outside, which was talking and cheering with Hiromi Yabuuchi, was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

When Yukiko, wearing sunglasses and sporting curly hair, entered the room, Conan was shocked. He immediately thought of his deceased father, and a wave of heartbreak washed over him.

"mom!"

Conan felt a pang of sadness, immediately called out, and ran after her short legs.

Duang~~~

Just as Conan reached Yukiko, he received a hard blow to the head, and at the same time, Yukiko's disgusted voice rang out:

"Shalang is here too? Shalang, come out here, I'm not afraid of you!"

After saying that, Yukiko looked around aimlessly, searching for her former best friend, Sharon Vineyard.

In Chapter 187, Yukiko felt disgusted when she saw Conan calling her "Mom".

Yukiko looked around but couldn't find Sharon Vineyard. Meanwhile, Conan, whom she had punched, was pitifully clinging to her leg, looking at her with teary eyes, calling her "Mom" over and over again.

There's no Sharon Vineyard here. I was mistaken. Conan is calling me "Mom"!

Good heavens, the mistress's son calls the legal wife "Mom"? Have I gone back to the feudal era?

Looking at Conan, who looked exactly like Shinichi, dressed exactly like Shinichi, and was now calling her "Mom" over and over again, Yukiko had a sudden flash of inspiration:

Did Sharon Vineyard and Yusaku Kudo spend all their time cosplaying together?

The thought of Yusaku Kudo dressing up Conan as a young Shinichi while he was with Sharon Vineyard, and Sharon dressing up as herself, and the three of them living happily together, made Yukiko feel disgusted. She covered her mouth and gagged a few times.

No, no, I can't think about this scene anymore. If I do, I'll feel so nauseous that I'll throw up my breakfast.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
