It wasn't Jiang Chengbei's style to just take their wages without doing any work for them. So, after hanging Conan on the iron tower at the top of the Metropolitan Police Department building, he sent a photo he took from a distance of Conan hanging on the Metropolitan Police Department to the leader of an NGO that was protecting the rights of women and children.
Upon receiving the photos sent by Jiang Chengbei, which showed a child hanging from the Metropolitan Police Department building, the incident caused a huge uproar within the organization. Soon, everyone was woken up and rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department to rescue the trapped child.
After sending photos to child protection organizations, Jiang Chengbei went to great lengths to rescue Conan, sending photos of Conan hanging at the Metropolitan Police Department to other NGOs and journalists, urging them to rush over and rescue him.
There is strength in numbers. As long as there are enough people to rescue Conan, no matter how much the Metropolitan Police Department tries to stop them, they will not be able to continue to inhumanely hang Conan on the iron frame of the Metropolitan Police Department building.
With Jiang Chengbei's request for help, Conan, who was happily singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on the iron tower of the Metropolitan Police Department building, was finally rescued from above in a grand and elaborate scene, under the watchful eyes of numerous cameras.
When reporters and police asked Conan who tied him to the Eiffel Tower, Conan refused to say, no matter what.
As a result, various versions of Conan's story about being tied up at the Metropolitan Police Department tower appeared in the newspapers, with two being the most popular.
One possibility is that Conan solved two murder cases involving the Tengu a few days ago, explaining why the two monks from the Yamanotei Temple were hanging from the beam in the detention room. As a result, he offended the Tengu, who broke down the wall of the Metropolitan Police Department, rushed in, and hung Conan on the iron frame of the Metropolitan Police Department building.
This is the most widely believed explanation, given the numerous large holes left in the Metropolitan Police Department building and the large number of police officers who were drugged that day. These are things that ordinary people couldn't do; only a monster like the Tengu could accomplish such a feat.
It was because the monster Tengu did it that Conan was afraid and dared not say anything.
Besides this theory, another popular explanation is that the Metropolitan Police Department, unable to find concrete evidence, became enraged by Conan's recantation and subjected him to severe torture, hanging him from the iron tower on the roof of the Metropolitan Police Department building.
As for the large hole in the Metropolitan Police Department wall, it was obviously smashed open on purpose to frame the Tengu. Otherwise, how would you explain the fact that so many police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department were drugged and so many large holes were smashed in the wall?
Besides the police, who are like thieves crying "stop thief" and stealing from their own posts, who else is capable of accomplishing this?
Because it was the police who did it, Conan was afraid and dared not say anything.
Anyway, the incident of Conan being inexplicably hung on the roof of the Metropolitan Police Department building, coupled with the recent video of Conan confessing his guilt, means that he brings headlines to the media every day, and every day is different.
Even if he doesn't secretly leak information to the media now, those media outlets that Jiang Chengbei had previously taken a large sum of money from in advance don't plan to ask Conan for repayment, because even without giving advance notice, the commotion he caused is worth the price.
Compared to Conan, who received a lot of media attention, Jiang Chengbei's actions on Moonshadow Island caused much less of a stir. Moreover, with Conan being such a hot topic, the media had no time to report on the events that occurred on the remote island in detail. At most, they would issue a brief report to explain the situation, which was not worth making a big deal out of.
The reason why the media doesn't pay much attention to the Tsukikage Island incident is mainly because the Metropolitan Police Department is too incompetent. They didn't trace it back to Shinichi Kudo, but only stayed on the surface, defining the culprit as someone who wore a pink outfit, had pink hair, and claimed to be Asano Minoru.
Most importantly, after concluding that Asano Minoru was the murderer, they stopped investigating. They didn't even bother to find out what Asano Minoru actually looked like; they just made a casual phone call to get some information.
Then, based on the descriptions of the villagers on the island who had seen the murderer, they hastily drew up an arrest warrant and that was the end of it.
The most striking feature of the portrait on the wanted poster is the killer's pink hair, followed by pink sunglasses, pink clothes, pink pants, and pink shoes. In short, apart from the distinctive pink color, everything else is quite abstract.
The police couldn't find anything on Shinichi Kudo, so the case didn't get much media attention. After all, Conan from the Metropolitan Police Department was more appealing right now, and everyone was focused on him. Who had the time to care about something on a remote island?
Of course, the main reason why the police didn't find anything about Shinichi Kudo was that the villagers on the island were relatively ignorant. Few people knew that Shinichi Kudo was the most famous high school detective in Tokyo and the second most famous detective in Tokyo. They were also unfamiliar with his appearance, so none of them recognized Shinichi Kudo in Jiang Chengbei's deathly Barbie pink outfit.
The only one who recognized that the fake Asai Narumi was actually Shinichi Kudo, the real Asai Narumi, now known as the cross-dressing master Asai Narumi, naturally wouldn't reveal it.
Regardless of whether he felt grateful to Shinichi Kudo for helping him avenge the deaths of three of his enemies' entire families, even if he wasn't grateful, could he really go and tell the police:
I sent Shinichi Kudo 50 yen, hoping he would stop me from killing someone. But instead of stopping me, he stole the head of the person I was supposed to kill. Moreover, he went beyond my plan, killing not only all my enemies but also their entire families and even their underlings!
In short, the police only found out that the murderer was Asai Narumi, who had escaped death 12 years ago. What does Asai Narumi have to do with him?
Although they both have the same name, Chengshi, and the characters are written the same, the pronunciation is different. His Chengshi is pronounced like a girl's name, which is different from the pronunciation of the boy's Chengshi.
Chapter 101 Follow your words
Because the First and Fourth Divisions were passing the buck, the police couldn't find anything about Asai Narumi, so he quickly left Tsukikage Island, returned to Tokyo, and opened a small clinic in Beika Town, where Shinichi Kudo lived, and started living a normal life.
Asai Narumi is living a good life in Beika Town, especially where he runs a clinic, next door to the hospitable dentist, Ms. Shichiki Yoko.
Perhaps it was because they were both doctors and had common topics, or perhaps it was because they had both wanted to kill someone but had their lives stolen by others, so they got along very well and quickly became good friends.
Later, through Yoko Shiragi's introduction, Akiko Yonehara also joined in, and the three of them quickly became best friends. They often went to sit in front of the Metropolitan Police Department to cheer on Conan, who was under house arrest and had his freedom restricted.
Like the three of them, there were many people who came to support Conan, and they were all different kinds of people.
There are the Mihana Town thugs who idolize Conan, the Yakuza who regard Conan as their patriarch, the families of victims who are grateful to Conan for ridding the people of evil, ordinary citizens who feel that he is acting on behalf of heaven, and various NGOs that like to cause trouble for no reason.
In short, there are many people who came to the Metropolitan Police Department to support Conan and ask the police to release him. Their backgrounds are very diverse, and they even include many people who are usually at odds with each other. However, they are now standing together for the same goal, which shows how popular Conan is.
While Conan was being investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department and Megure was on leave, Ran also learned that Shinichi Kudo had appeared at the Yamanotei Temple but hadn't come to see her.
Therefore, she went to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask Takagi about Shinichi Kudo. Unfortunately, after listening to Takagi's account, Ran didn't hear Shinichi Kudo mention anything about her. He didn't come to see her or even think of sending her a message, which disappointed Ran.
However, this was not the thing that made Xiaolan the angrier.
What Ran found most unbearable was that, feeling down, she unknowingly ended up at the Kudo residence and ran into Professor Agasa next door. While chatting with him, she inadvertently overheard Professor Agasa mentioning that Shinichi Kudo had come to visit him, which made her feel terrible.
Then, in order to clarify things and avoid Ran misunderstanding him, Professor Agasa quickly revealed that Shinichi was currently working for the police and couldn't come back or show his face. He also mentioned that Shinichi was being targeted by a terrorist organization and could lose his life if he wasn't careful.
Professor Agasa, the big mouth, didn't say anything more about the specifics. In short, he told Ran not to worry: Shinichi is so smart, he'll be fine.
After learning about Shinichi Kudo's situation, Ran was in a bad mood. She was worried about him and also felt dissatisfied with him. In short, she really wanted to find him and beat him up.
Ran was in a bad mood, but on the other hand, Kogoro Mouri was in a good mood. After being heartbroken for many days after missing out on 6 million maple leaf coins, he finally received a commission today. His... Mouri Detective Agency in Jiangcheng North has finally reopened after several dozen days.
The thought that he would have to complete the task himself, but that the new boss would likely take a large portion of the commission, instantly soured Kogoro's previously cheerful mood.
So when he went out to finish his work, he took Jiang Chengbei with him. On the way there, Kogoro Mouri racked his brains trying to figure out how to get Jiang Chengbei to come to work with him.
Before Kogoro Mouri could even utter the long list of words he had racked his brains for, Jiang Chengbei, after hearing the request Kogoro Mouri had accepted, immediately agreed to go with him to complete the request.
Seeing Jiang Chengbei agree so readily, Kogoro Mouri felt even more depressed. He had so much to say but couldn't get it out, and he felt so stifled that he couldn't even muster the energy to work.
Next, Jiang Chengbei followed Kogoro Mouri to find today's target, Masaki Negishi, while explaining the details of the mission.
This time, the employer is a company president named Yutaka Abe, who paid 50 yen to Kogoro Mouri to follow his good friend Masaki Negishi.
The surveillance period begins when he gets up and leaves the house and ends when he returns home to sleep at night. The surveillance lasts for three consecutive days, during which time he is photographed continuously, the more detailed the better.
Although Kogoro Mouri is only a third-rate detective, he has been a detective and a police officer for ten years. Even if his reasoning is not good, he still has experience.
Therefore, Jiang Chengbei, who was out tracking people in human form for the first time, asked Kogoro Mouri for advice on how to better conceal his figure so that the person being tracked could not find him.
After finishing a day of tracking, Jiang Chengbei worked tirelessly, voluntarily working overtime, and after transforming into a bird, he visited the homes of Abe Yutaka and Negishi Masaki.
After finding that each of them had taken out 5 million yuan in life insurance policies for the other, Jiang Chengbei was now completely certain that this was the episode where Conan came to them to film, just as he remembered.
Since he knew that Abe Yutaka was going to kill the unlucky Negishi Masaki, but couldn't remember the exact day, Jiang Chengbei once again displayed his spirit of not being afraid of hardship or fatigue. After Kogoro Mouri finished his daytime tracking mission, Jiang Chengbei would turn into a bird at night and come over to work overtime for free, protecting the unlucky Negishi Masaki.
Jiang Chengbei was lucky. On the second night after Kogoro Mouri finished his second day of surveillance, Jiang Chengbei was met by Abe Yutaka, who came with a knife to kill Negishi Masaki.
In order to become a good witness, Jiang Chengbei happened to appear after Abe Yutaka stabbed Negishi Masaki. Even more coincidentally, Jiang Chengbei, who was carrying a DV camera, broke in and filmed the scene of Abe Yutaka stabbing someone.
If people find out that I am the murderer and that I killed Masaki Negishi, then the 5 million yen insurance will definitely be lost. Wouldn't that mean I killed him for nothing?
No, he didn't kill anyone for nothing; he still has to go to jail!
So the moment Jiang Chengbei appeared, Abe Yutaka had murderous intent towards this coward who had unexpectedly barged in and happened to film the scene of him killing someone.
Since transmigrating, Jiang Chengbei has been practicing how to portray a terrified person witnessing a murder. So, while ensuring the camera doesn't shake, he makes sure the person is trembling, and he's so scared that he falls to the ground, completely paralyzed and unable to move. His performance is so convincing that Abe Yutaka rushes over and attacks him.
After dodging Abe Yutaka's assassination attempt, I saw that I had obtained 2 kill coins and the newly added Abe Yutaka skill "Words Come True" in the Detective Conan Shop... Wait, what? Words Come True? Can this thing appear in the Detective Conan world?
Anyway, when Jiang Chengbei saw that the "Words of Law" could be bought for 1 Kill Coin in the Ke Xue Mall, he bought it without thinking.
His words have become law. In the world of fantasy and immortals, Jiang Chengbei can take off, let alone the small world of Ke Xue.
Even if Jiang Chengbei managed to acquire something like "words become law," which affects the balance of the world and the gaming experience, he still couldn't believe his eyes.
Chapter 102 Conan's Chakra: Conan Unleashes His Ultimate Move, Causing Widespread Lamentations Throughout the Metropolitan Police Department
While checking the system messages, Jiang Chengbei sensed danger. He dodged and then kicked out angrily, sending Abe Yutaka, who was rushing up to kill him again, flying.
This kick, imbued with anger, was incredibly powerful, sending Abe Yutaka flying and crashing into the wall, completely incapacitating him.
Jiang Chengbei was furious not because Abe Yutaka had attacked again, but because the system was a complete charlatan!
The promise was that words would be law, but the "words" were randomly selected from what I had said before, and I only had one chance to be randomized at each level. Once the randomized word was chosen, I couldn't change it and could only accept it silently.
The first-level "Words Become Law" rule can only take effect on one sentence, and it cannot specify which sentence. It also has to be randomly selected from all the sentences spoken. Can this still be considered "Words Become Law"?
The castration was too severe; it's beyond repair!
At the same time, the "law" in the phrase "words become law" generally only includes the few people who heard the words spoken.
Of course, these are secondary. The main thing is that Jiang Chengbei just acquired this skill, and the level 1 "Words Become Law" skill automatically selects randomly spoken words. This time, the effect is:
Level 1 Words Randomly Selected: Singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon will allow you to cultivate chakra - Ke Xue Chakra.
The only people who could cultivate Conan's chakra using this method were those present when Jiang Chengbei said those words that day: Jiang Chengbei, Conan, and half of Takagi Wataru.
Jiang Chengbei and Conan can cultivate Conan's chakra by singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to the moon.
However, Takagi Wataru, who was present at the time, was asleep, so he can only be considered half a person.
If he wants to cultivate Conan's chakra, in addition to singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon, he must also have at least one of Conan or Jiang Chengbei present in order to cultivate chakra.
Note: The chakra here belongs to the world of Detective Conan and is different from the chakra in other worlds. The chakra here is Detective Conan chakra.
The basic attribute of Ke Xue Chakra: It enhances the practitioner's physical attributes, making their physique stronger and their vitality greater, potentially making them virtually indestructible.
At the same time, with proper training, one can also develop many Conan abilities with Conan Chakra, such as creating a chakra soccer ball out of thin air, changing one's voice with chakra, and locating a friend with full trust level with chakra, etc.
When Jiang Chengbei saw Conan's various chakra abilities, he suddenly realized that Conan was indeed a protagonist with a halo.
Thanks to Jiang Chengbei's actions, although Conan lost Professor Agasa's Conan gadgets, he gained Conan Chakra that was even more powerful than those gadgets!
After reading the system's general description of Ke Xue's chakra, Jiang Chengbei could no longer laugh.
Previously, I saw Conan singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon late at night, and even saying that he felt something. He's so stupid, he believes whatever I say.
But now, with the "words become law" now in hand, Conan's wish has come true. There really is such a thing as Conan's chakra. So, Conan's silly singing of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to the moon wasn't silly at all, but rather a sign of foresight. He was a slow bird that had already started training his chakra ahead of time.
His statement, "I have a feeling," was simply a preemptive remark, demonstrating Conan's foresight and precognition.
Jiang Chengbei was right; the worst thing had happened.
On the other side, Conan, who was under house arrest in the Metropolitan Police Department and couldn't go out to do anything else, had nothing better to do, so these days, every night when the moon came out, Conan would stand by the window and sing the awful Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon.
The Metropolitan Police Department officers certainly experienced firsthand just how captivating Conan's singing voice is.
They restrict Conan's freedom, so Conan torments their souls. They hurt each other, who's afraid of who?
In the contest between the Metropolitan Police Department and Conan, it's obvious at a glance who has the upper hand.
Although Conan is just a child, he has achieved amazing feats in the Metropolitan Police Department, and the previous first blood, double kill, triple kill, team wipe, etc. were all achieved by Conan.
He sleeps during the day and unleashes his deadly sonic power at night, causing more damage to the Metropolitan Police Department than his death aura.
Now, after several nights of hard work, Conan finally felt the power of chakra again when he finally bought the "Words Come True" item in Jiangcheng North. He could truly feel the chakra, that surging power flowing continuously from the moon into his body.
Originally, Conan's singing was only a death knell for those in the same room, but now, with real chakra, the surging power made Conan's loud voice instantly resound throughout the entire Metropolitan Police Department.
