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

Page 104

"Vodka, slow down, I'm going to blow him up right in front of him."

"Okay, big brother."

As the vodka slowed down, Gin's half-figure emerged from the sunroof, his blond hair flying in the air, a cigarette dangling from his lips—a stylish pose that appeared before Jiang Chengbei's eyes.

Seeing that the other side had a Gatling gun, and looking at his own small AK, with such a large difference in barrel thickness, Jiang Chengbei quickly and consciously put away his small AK, indicating that he would not fight anymore.

When he saw Gin pull back the bolt, preparing to fire, Vodka suddenly seemed to remember something and weakly spoke up:

"But brother, Shinichi Kudo died in A..."

Before Vodka could finish speaking, Gin saw Jiang Chengbei throw out several grenades, which were now flying towards their heads as they got closer.

Gin then revealed a sinister smile, raised his hand, and unleashed a barrage of bullets, blasting the grenades flying in the air to smithereens.

Unfortunately, those grenades didn't seem to be bombs, but they were smoke grenades. The plumes of smoke they produced instantly enveloped the convertible sports car following behind them.

Can you really stop bullets by hiding in smoke?

joke!

After Gin told Vodka to stop the car, he pulled the trigger into the smoke. Then, the Gatling gun fired rapidly, and spent cartridges rained down into the car like beans from a bamboo tube. Vodka suddenly felt that the car was too small, with spent cartridges bouncing everywhere, and there was no room to even turn around.

Meanwhile, the bullets fired from Gin's hand were like a burning firecracker, repeatedly plunging through the thick white smoke and producing a pleasant clanging sound.

Boom boom boom...

In the thick smoke, Gin seemed to hear the sound of a convertible exploding, a sound that was so beautiful.

Firepower is king. In front of my Gatling gun, what Shinichi Kudo, what weird AK with endless bullets, can all go to hell!

I'm going to tear you to shreds and crush you with firepower!

Seeing the boss so engrossed in the gunfight, relentlessly firing into the thick smoke, even as explosions raged inside, clearly battered and bruised but refusing to stop, Vodka weakly remarked:

"Big brother, but Shinichi Kudo was poisoned to death by APTX4869. If he hadn't died, wouldn't he be of great research value?"

Vodka weakly reminded his older brother of the importance of the matter, but because of the loud noise of the Gatling gun, Gin didn't hear a word. Instead, he nodded to Vodka, indicating that he should go into the smoke to check the situation after the bullets in this belt were used up.

Seeing Gin nod, Vodka didn't say anything more. Since his older brother understood but still wanted to kill Shinichi Kudo to vent his anger, he shouldn't cause any more trouble or say anything that would upset his older brother.

Gin and Vodka's failed exchange can be considered a successful outcome.

Then, amidst the rattling of gunfire, the clanging and clattering of spent cartridges, the tearing sound of bullets ripping through the air like a cloth-tearing machine, the clanging of bullets hitting steel plates, and finally the booming sound of something being shattered,

Gin and Vodka saw a dark, circular shape appear in the smoke behind the car. The circle slowly grew longer and longer, eventually becoming a long, thick, and sturdy steel pipe.

Finally, Gin saw a angular steel wall, still sputtering sparks, slowly push aside the fog and come into view.

Soon, a steel beast pushed aside the smoke and appeared in Gin and Vodka's eyes. As soon as they saw its majestic and imposing figure, Gin and Vodka were stunned.

Stunned that someone was driving a tank at high speed on the national highway in broad daylight, Gin and Vodka couldn't understand how they could encounter a tank here!

Seeing the turret spinning, preparing to aim at him, Gin instinctively shouted, "Run!"

Then came the much-anticipated "boom," and the minivan beneath Gin's feet was reduced to a blazing inferno and scrap metal.

Thanks to Gin shouting "Run!" before firing, Vodka and his vehicle were spared from being killed by the shells.

But after he jumped out of the car, the van behind him was hit by a shell and exploded. Vodka was also thrown into the air by the shockwave of the explosion. When he landed, he was covered in injuries, and his internal organs were also injured by the shock.

Gin, Vodka, and the others never expected that this tank, which suddenly appeared in broad daylight, would actually fire its cannon in the road!

In their minds, tanks that could be driven so openly on the road must belong to the military.

Since these are military tanks, legitimate and legal, they will definitely follow the rules and shouldn't fire on civilian cars like these.

Chapter 166 Gin: They're still alive? The probability is less than one percent. Do I have the protagonist's halo?

Compared to the seriously injured Vodka, Gin, who sensed the danger in advance and had half his body outside the car, ran away before Vodka, and is now in much better condition.

At least, he could still jump around and dodge bullets even under heavy machine gun fire.

Of course, Gin was able to dodge machine gun fire because Jiang Chengbei was operating the tank from inside, which limited his field of vision and made it inconvenient for him to aim.

However, for Gin, who had no cover on the roadside, no matter how fast his legs were, they couldn't outrun bullets. In the end, he was hit by ricochets and flying stones. After being riddled with wounds, he finally collapsed to the ground and stopped moving.

Jiang Chengbei fired several bursts of bullets in the open space next to him. Seeing that Gin was not moving, he stopped firing, opened the top cover, and got out of the tank.

Then he took out a cool HK416, fired a burst of bullets at Gin's leg, splattering blood, and then walked over to Gin with Shinichi Kudo's face on his back.

Sure enough, just as Jiang Chengbei approached Gin, intending to check on his condition, a wave of fear washed over him. He tilted his head, and a bullet flew past his cheek.

After dodging several bullets, Jiang Chengbei used his newly learned level 4 swordsmanship to smash the butt of his rifle into Gin's hand, which was holding a small pistol.

Taking advantage of the moment when Gin's gun wasn't pointed at him, Jiang Chengbei stepped forward and stomped on Gin's left hand holding the gun, then pointed his HK416 at Gin's head.

With his legs crippled and his body covered in wounds, Gin was now in dire straits. His last self-defense pistol was pinned to the ground along with his hand. Finally, he closed his eyes in despair, awaiting his death.

After waiting for a while without hearing Jiang Chengbei fire a shot and execute him, Gin opened his eyes and saw Shinichi Kudo dressed in a blue suit with a green tie, looking every bit like a high school student.

“Gin, last time in Dorobiga, you didn’t blow my head off, which allowed me to survive by sheer luck.”

I, Shinichi Kudo, am a person who repays kindness and never owes anyone a life.

So if you didn't use a gun last time, I won't use one this time either.

You used poison last time, so I'll use poison this time too.

After today, we owe each other nothing.

After saying that, Jiang Chengbei took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, opened it, and showed Gin the bottle full of pills inside:

“Gin, here are a hundred potassium cyanide pills. They will kill you instantly and you won’t suffer much pain. They’re much better than the poison you gave me.”

Then, Jiang Chengbei took out another bottle of medicine, opened it, and took out a pill that looked exactly like the previous one. He said:

"This is a regular anti-inflammatory drug; it won't kill you. Now I'm mixing them together. You can choose any one to take. If you survive, you're lucky; if you die, you're just unlucky. I'm luckier than you."

As Jiang Chengbei spoke, he put the pills in his hand into the potassium cyanide bottles, then put the caps on and shook them vigorously to mix them together.

After doing all this, Jiang Chengbei opened the bottle cap again and poured out 101 identical pills coated with the same sugar into front of Gin.

"Choose one. Whether you survive today or not, we'll leave the choice to fate."

Looking at Jiang Chengbei's smiling face, Gin said calmly, "You are not Shinichi Kudo."

After saying that, Gin picked up a pill from the ground without hesitation and swallowed it.

After waiting quietly for several dozen seconds, Jiang Chengbei found that Gin on the ground was alive and well, without any of the symptoms that would lead to death after being poisoned by potassium cyanide. He gave Gin a thumbs up and said, "You're awesome."

After confirming the villain's powerful abilities, Jiang Chengbei took the gun from Gin and turned to leave.

Then, Gin saw Jiang Chengbei climb onto the tank and enter through the opening at the top of the turret. After the tank started moving, smoke grenades stuck on the tank body fell off one by one and bounced up, quickly enveloping the rumbling tank in smoke.

Before long, the rumbling sound in the smoke disappeared, and after the smoke was blown away by the wind, the tank that was originally in the smoke was gone.

Unexpectedly, this person who called himself Shinichi Kudo actually let him go. Now, Gin can only gamble on whether his organization's rescue will arrive first, or whether the police will arrive first.

Fortunately, the luck of being chosen from 101 still shrouded Gin. The organization members in Nagoya arrived before the police and rescued the seriously injured Gin Vodka.

Before being rescued by members of the organization, Gin packed up the remaining 100 pills on the ground and took them with him.

Upon returning to the organization, after Gin and the organization's quack doctor treated his injuries, he hurriedly took out the pills he had brought back and had his subordinates analyze and test them to see what kind of medicine they were.

After his subordinates brought back a report stating that all one hundred pills were highly toxic potassium cyanide poison—a guaranteed death for anyone who ingested them, without exception—Gin held the report and chuckled.

Even if I'm chosen from 101, I'll still get a 1% chance of being selected. I'm the destined protagonist!

Seeing Gin lying on the hospital bed, covered in injuries and almost crippled for life, yet smiling so happily, everyone unanimously agreed that Gin must have lost his mind this time.

This is what happened after Gin escaped death. On the other hand, Conan, who was told by Gin that there was a bomb on the train that would explode at 3 o'clock, finally found the bomb after hard work and overcoming many difficulties. He wrapped it in a Conan-style chakra soccer ball and kicked it out of the train, saving the lives of everyone on the train.

Conan's feat this time finally redeemed his terrible reputation.

After this rescue, his reputation finally rebounded from rock bottom.

The Shinkansen was nearly bombed, and the heavy firefight that occurred in the suburbs of Nagoya, especially the traces at the scene indicating that tanks had been present and a minivan had been destroyed by artillery fire, with the remains of a Gatling gun found inside, has drawn widespread attention in Japan.

After confirming multiple times that the military had not sent tanks to the area, all police and public security personnel in Japan went into overtime mode, especially the police in Aichi Prefecture.

After all, a tank that has been abandoned by civilians and even fired its cannon is far too dangerous. The organization that can possess it, use it, and hide it must have immense power.

Because of the major incident that happened on the road, even though no murders occurred when Conan later exorcised evil spirits in Kyoto, Megure, far away in Tokyo, was still very worried.

Conan's trip this time is even more terrifying. Before, it was just a minor matter of killing one or a few people, but now a bomb has appeared on the Shinkansen he was on. What if Conan's bad luck attracts a bomb when he attends the wedding next week?

Not only bombs, but also a Gatling gun battle against tanks took place in Nagoya on his way. If any of these things happen at next week's wedding, the wedding banquet will immediately turn into a feast, and the happy event will turn into a funeral!

No, I need to go and persuade Section Chief Matsumoto again. Conan absolutely cannot be allowed to attend the wedding. I, Inspector Megure, cannot afford to take responsibility for this!

Chapter 167 Bourbon, you've been exposed? Then rejoin the team, the police force will always welcome you.

As Gin watched the tank being completely enveloped in smoke, Jiang Chengbei inside the tank transformed into a small white bird, and then the tank disappeared and was stored in the system's inventory.

Finally, Jiang Chengbei soared into the sky, leaving behind only a huge cloud of mist and a trembling gin and vodka.

A few minutes later, Jiang Chengbei appeared under several security cameras in downtown Nagoya. He even got into a fight with a shop owner right under the cameras, the kind of fight where he ran away but made sure to show his face on camera.

After the fight, Jiang Chengbei quickly disappeared into the restroom and soared into the sky again, heading towards Tokyo.

In less than half an hour, the flight from Jiangcheng North was over. The journey that previously took more than two hours by Shinkansen to Nagoya was now back in the heart of Tokyo.

On his way to Tokyo, Jiang Chengbei also received a system message:

Gin and Vodka have entered a period of rest, and the distillery's low-key aura is taking effect. The kosher chakra transmitter you left on them has been removed.

The plan to keep Gin and Vodka pinpointed to each other failed, but thankfully, the chakra transmitter that was openly placed on Bourbon was still working, and Jiang Chengbei quickly found Bourbon's location after returning to Tokyo.

So, at Jiang Chengbei's house next to the Maoli Detective Agency, a chubby little bird flew in through the window, looking familiar with the place and wearing sunglasses on its face that defied the laws of physics and wouldn't fall off even when it flew.

Seeing Bourbon and his men ransacking the house, Jiang Chengbei's eyes widened: Is the illegal search by the Japanese police really this unprofessional and arrogant?

Amuro Tooru had no choice but to conduct such a rough search. He arrived too late; the room had already been messed up by the unprofessional Yukiko. He couldn't do what he used to do: carefully search and restore the room to its original state so the homeowner wouldn't notice anything amiss.

After rummaging through the things, the unprofessional Yukiko simply left, leaving Amuro Tooru and his professional subordinates in a difficult position as they wanted to conduct a thorough search.

Yukiko messed up the room. They've never seen the room as it was before, so they can't restore it. At most, they can only keep it as it was after Yukiko messed it up, but what's the point of that?

So, we might as well stop worrying and search freely. At worst, we can just call it a burglary and take all the valuables from Jiang Chengbei's house before we leave.

So when Jiang Chengbei returned, he found that his boss was not there, and Amuro Tooru, as an employee, was searching for everything about his boss and Conan, who was staying there, without any scruples.

Due to the misunderstanding caused by misrepresentation and being blinded by a single leaf, Amuro Tooru and his men, who were focused on their investigation, completely failed to notice that among their group of lawbreakers who had illegally entered private residences, there was another criminal dressed in a suit just like them.
