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

Page 26

Ignoring Conan's shouting, Ran smiled and nodded in agreement with Professor Agasa's statement, but she quickly brought up the difficulties they were currently facing:

"Doctor, I agree with your idea, but I don't know where Inspector Megure lives. How about I ask my dad when I get back, and then I'll call you back later?"

"Okay, no problem, Ran, but you need to hurry. It's getting late, and I'm worried that Conan's adoptive parents will be anxious waiting at home."

"Wait, Ran, Professor, I really am Shinichi. I have a father and a mother. I am their only son. You sent me to Inspector Megure's house. Did you even ask my parents? How can you face them?"

"I really am Shinichi. I have parents. My father is Yusaku Kudo, and my mother is Yukiko Kudo. I can really prove that I am Shinichi Kudo. Why don't you ask me things that only we know!"

Despite Conan's great anxiety, he revealed many things that only a few of them knew.

But with the solid foundation laid by Jiang Chengbei a few days ago, Xiaolan quickly refuted his words and explained that he had done the same thing a few days ago, deceiving them by telling them things that only she and Yuanzi knew, and that he was just repeating the same trick now.

Then, even if Conan demonstrated his deductive reasoning ability that surpassed that of ordinary people, this proved nothing after Jiang Chengbei helped him establish his reputation as a famous elementary school detective.

It's normal for Conan to have superhuman reasoning abilities now; having super strong reasoning skills doesn't mean he is Shinichi Kudo.

Anyway, with Ran's proof, nothing he says now is credible. He's just elementary school student Conan, and now he's pretending to be Shinichi, deceiving everyone's feelings.

After hearing Ran's explanation, the easily swayed Professor Agasa now completely believes Ran's words and is convinced that this complete stranger is impersonating Shinichi Kudo and deceiving his feelings.

What's infuriating is that this old man, over fifty years old and with a wealth of social experience, was actually fooled by a seven-year-old child. This made Professor Agasa feel very embarrassed, and he made up his mind to drive Conan back and, on the way, go to Inspector Megure to complain.

"Ran, Professor, it really is Shinichi, please believe me!"

Fearing that they would send him to become Inspector Megure's son, Conan panicked. He no longer cared about hiding his identity and grabbed their clothes, shouting and yelling. At the same time, he refused to leave his house and go to the Megure family to become Inspector Megure's son.

Seeing Conan screaming so pitifully below, Jiang Chengbei, the instigator, decided to lend him a hand.

So, Jiang Chengbei, now a chubby little bird, soared into the sky, flew out of the window, circled the Kudo and Agasa residences in the sky, and landed in a dark place.

A small, chubby white bird flew into a dark road, and soon after, a black Mazda limousine drove out from the same dark road.

Jiang Chengbei bought the car from the system. After returning to his original state, he found his driver's license and other necessary documents on his person, so he felt confident and boldly bought a car from the system store for transportation.

Soon, Jiang Chengbei drove up to the front of the Kudo residence and saw Conan being held in someone's arms. Conan was clinging tightly to the iron bars of his own gate and refused to let go, stubbornly refusing to let Professor Agasa and Ran take him to the Megure family to be adopted.

Even for the sake of the billions of yen in inheritance left by Yusaku Kudo after his death, he cannot become the son of an ordinary policeman!

"Excuse me, is this the Kudo residence? Is Shinichi Kudo here?"

While Conan, Ran, and Professor Agasa were at an impasse, Jiang Chengbei got out of the car and walked over to greet them politely.

"Oh? You're looking for Shinichi? He's not here. Sir, what can I do for you?"

Ran and Professor Agasa's reactions were relatively normal. After learning that Jiang Chengbei had come to see Shinichi Kudo, they stopped messing around with Conan and stopped talking to Jiang Chengbei politely.

However, when Conan saw the newly arrived Jiang Chengbei, his body tensed up instantly, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his mind became highly focused, with all his energy concentrated on Jiang Chengbei.

The reason Conan acted this way was simply because Jiang Chengbei was dressed all in black, at most the same as Gin and Vodka: a black hat, black clothes, black pants, and black shoes.

Chapter 43 Conan: The Black Organization found me so quickly?

"I came to see Shinichi Kudo because I have a case that I need his help with."

Since he's not here right now, I'll go ask Detective Mori for help.

By the way, is the Mouri Detective Agency nearby? Could you please give me directions?

"Okay, I was just about to go back..."

"Xiao Lan, run! He's a bad guy!"

After hearing Jiang Chengbei's purpose for coming to see him, Conan was certain in his mind that this person was an accomplice of the two men in black.

The reason for this belief is not only because he and the other two were dressed the same, but also because they came to find him, Shinichi Kudo, late at night. Wasn't it because they couldn't find his body in Dorobiga and were now coming to investigate?

The thought of the corpse made Conan inwardly cry out in alarm. He had been so surprised by how small his body had become that he hadn't considered that if his body hadn't been there, the men in black might have guessed he wasn't dead and started investigating him.

Seeing Jiang Chengbei, dressed in all black, coming to his door looking for someone, he realized that finding a corpse for the man in black to confirm that he was dead was the most important thing right now.

Thankfully, thanks to the huge commotion Conan caused before, and even appearing in the newspapers and on the news alongside his larger version, Shinichi Kudo, otherwise, he, a suddenly appearing undocumented child...

Wait a minute, that little guy who suddenly appeared like Conan is also an unregistered resident!

When I and the police investigated Conan Edogawa before, we couldn't find any trace of him. It was as if he suddenly appeared. So, could it be that Conan Edogawa, who is obviously using an alias, also shrunk after taking the poison from the Men in Black?

The thought of this gave Conan a headache.

The only good news is that his larger form, Shinichi Kudo, has been photographed with Conan Edogawa and appeared on television. Everyone knows they appeared together, and no one would connect Shinichi Kudo shrinking into a child like Conan Edogawa.

By the way, Ran also mentioned that when the former Conan impersonated her and Sonoko, he described having the same experience as him.

Now it seems that Conan might not have been lying entirely; he might have just experienced the same thing as me, only now it was attributed to Shinichi Kudo.

So why would he impersonate himself?

Could it be that if a passionate detective like himself were to encounter those two black-clad criminals while investigating the criminals, he would inevitably run into them and be persecuted by them?

Although Conan thought of many things at once, reality didn't give him time to think further. His most important task now was to save Ran and prevent her from falling into the clutches of the Black Organization.

(Professor Agasa: What about me? I'm standing right next to Ran, which is also dangerous for me. Can't you think of me too?)

Conan: Doctor, I've got it! You can drive me, and we'll go track down the Black Organization together!

Dr. Agasa: ...)

So as soon as Jiang Chengbei appeared, he blocked Xiaolan's way, yelling at her to run away because he was a bad guy, while grabbing Jiang Chengbei's trouser leg.

"I'm so sorry, sir, please don't hold a grudge against a child."

"Conan, let go! That's very rude of you! If you keep doing that, I'll tell your father, Inspector Megure!"

When Ran saw Conan's strong reaction, realizing that he was so young and already obsessed, calling him a bad guy in front of people while pulling at a stranger's pants, she quickly apologized to Jiang Chengbei.

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Jiang Chengbei pretended to be very surprised and said:

"Huh? You're saying this kid is Conan? The elementary school detective who recently appeared in the newspaper, the one who overpowered high school detective Shinichi Kudo?"

"Huh? Haha... I hate to admit it, but you're right. When Shinichi was seven, he was nowhere near as good as Conan, haha..."

When Jiang Chengbei said that Shinichi Kudo was not as good as Conan, Ran was very reluctant to admit it and wanted to say that her childhood friend was better. But the facts were right in front of her, and no matter how much she didn't want to admit it, Ran couldn't say anything against her conscience and could only laugh awkwardly.

"So it's the elementary school detective Conan. As expected, he's a detective who can tell who's good and who's bad at a glance. He's much better than the high school detective who's known as the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era."

Jiang Chengbei looked down at Conan, gave him a sinister smile, then patted his head and continued:

"Little detective, you're really amazing. You figured out I wasn't a good person the first time we met."

There's no other way now. I originally wanted to hide my identity, but now I have no choice but to silence them.

Excuse me, beautiful lady and white-bearded old man.

"When you go to the underworld to meet King Yama later, don't blame me for what happened today. If Conan hadn't been so young and reckless, revealing my identity, you wouldn't have been implicated and silenced."

As Jiang Chengbei spoke, he pulled two pistols from his pocket, pointing one at Conan's head and the other at Ran and Professor Agasa, telling them to raise their hands obediently and not move.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Ran and Professor Agasa were stunned. Facing the dark muzzle of a gun, they stood there dumbfounded, their minds blank, not knowing what to do.

"Release Xiaolan! This has nothing to do with Xiaolan! She knows nothing about it!"

You can kill me, but you're not allowed to touch Xiaolan, or else I will…

"Or what? Kid, if you hadn't recognized me, would I be killing all three of you to silence you?"

Jiang Chengbei was a little disappointed that even though he had pointed a gun at Ran's head, the system still hadn't received any indication that Conan wanted to kill him.

"This...sir, you...you're joking, right? Haha..."

Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, Xiaolan gave a dry laugh, but her laughter sounded more like crying. At the same time, she kept trying to convince herself:

This is a joke. This is a toy gun. Who in this world would pay someone to kill a child just because the child said he was a bad guy?

Even if they were really bad people, they wouldn't be this brainless, would they?

How could such a brainless villain survive two episodes? He's still not wanted globally and can still openly roam around?

"I didn't recognize you! I only said you're a bad person! Please, please let Xiaolan go, she's innocent!"

Seeing this kid who had initially tried to deceive him and then asked for his help, now facing a gun without fear and shouting, Professor Agasa touched his bald head:

Am I invisible? This child has been calling for so long, why hasn't he said a single word in my defense?

They've been pointing guns at Conan and Ran for so long, trying to scare them, but they haven't received any messages from the system saying they want to fight back or kill in self-defense.

Unable to extract any benefits from them, and having rendered them useless, Jiang Chengbei had no choice but to aim at Conan's forehead and pull the trigger...

Chapter 44 Conan: Yes, I am Conan Megure. I'm a police officer's family member, so please don't do anything illegal.

clap~~~

After firing the gun in Jiangcheng North, whether it was because he was frightened or because he triggered some mechanism, Conan now has a toy suction cup stuck to his head, and a large yellow exclamation mark on his forehead.

Jiang Chengbei reached out and touched it; the yellow exclamation mark disappeared, and then a message appeared on his system page:

Upon receiving the protagonist's mission: Conan: Mom, come here! I want to turn back into Shinichi Kudo! (Bonus Mission 2: Mission is complete once Conan transforms into Shinichi Kudo)

Huh? Conan was so scared he called for his mom!

Pshaw, you think you can dodge my bullets just because you've turned back into Shinichi Kudo?

After reading the protagonist's mission, Jiang Chengbei silently muttered a curse to himself.

Then he thought that since the male protagonist had a main character mission, and it was only after he was startled by the gun, could the female protagonist also have one?

However, he failed today; everyone knows he was holding a toy gun. He'll try again another time.

Of course, Jiang Chengbei had a lot of fun, but the three people opposite him who were being played didn't look so good at this moment.

Especially Professor Agasa, who suffers from high blood pressure, had his blood pressure spike due to stress and was still feeling dizzy. So, somewhat annoyed, he said irritably:

"Sir, we've only just met today, we're not that familiar with each other. Do you think it's appropriate to make a joke like that when there are elderly people and children in the audience?"

"I'm sorry, I don't think it's a good idea, but if I were a really ruthless killer, how many episodes do you think this kid could survive if he provoked me like this?"

Don't make excuses like no adult would take a child's words seriously. Other kids might not, but this is Conan, the elementary school detective Conan!

He's Conan, who has solved several cases and caught several murderers!

Huh? That's strange, aren't you Conan?

You've caught five or six extremely vicious murderers and several counterfeit money gangs before, so why are you so weak today?

If you're really as weak as you're acting now, how did you catch the murderer before? How did you knock them out?
