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

Page 2

Seeing that Seiwa Takatoku had repeatedly and cautiously confirmed the situation several times, this fake Conan, who had appeared prematurely even though Kudo Shinichi hadn't shrunk yet, touched the watch with a crosshair scope on his wrist and said innocently:

"I'm not a five or six-year-old child. Why would I tell others about something I could use to blackmail you, and let someone else take half of my money for nothing? Isn't it better to keep it all to myself?"

"Good, good, as long as you haven't told anyone else. Your idea is great; the more people who know, the more money you get."

If only you knew, all my money would belong to you, Conan, haha…

Hearing the fake Conan's words, Seiba Takatoku was overjoyed, but after only a few laughs, he suddenly realized something was amiss, so he tentatively asked with concern:

"No, Conan, are you lying to me?"

You little brat, you look only seven or eight years old. If you really don't have parents or relatives, as you say, how have you survived? No one has taken care of you, how have you managed to live this long?"

"When I was a little kid who didn't know any better, I was in an orphanage, of course."

But now I'm all grown up, not a four or five-year-old child like I was two or three years ago. I'm capable of supporting myself.

My way of making money is very simple; of course, it comes from stupid adults like you who don't respect us kids.

You stupid adults are so arrogant that you dare to commit crimes in front of me, Edogawa Conan. If I saw this, wouldn't I extort a million or eight million?

"If I don't extort some money from you, how can I justify your blatant crimes right in front of me?"

After mocking the unscrupulous criminals in Detective Conan, Jiang Chengbei, a time traveler who had transformed into a fake Conan, continued:

"Did you see all my designer clothes?"

This is what I got by extorting Yusaku Kudo and Kaito Kid.

"Let me tell you, I know the true identity of Phantom Thief Kid, and I also know that he and Yusaku Kudo have an unspeakable secret. So with just a little threat, I can have everything I need, hehehe..."

"Si Guoyi!"

After listening to the bragging of the bespectacled kid in front of him, Seiwa Zunen finally believed him, then gave him a thumbs up, exclaimed in amazement, and at the same time felt much relieved, while a little ulterior motive arose in his heart.

This child is so silly and naive, thank goodness!

Meanwhile, the system page in Jiangcheng North has also changed:

System message: Seiwa Zunen has murderous intent towards you. You have received one Kill Coin.

Ke Xue Mall News: Seiwa Zunen has developed murderous intent towards you. Seiwa Zunen's skills are now available for purchase:

Wall-climbing (Purchased, Price: 1 Kill Coin)

Car Driving (Original Price: 1 Kill Coin. Current Price: 2 Kill Coins)

Because the same person's Conan-themed products have already been purchased, the price doubles when purchasing a second product, and doubles again when purchasing a third, requiring four times the original price. In short, the price increases exponentially.

……

Jiang Chengbei, who had transformed into Conan, was overjoyed to finally receive a message from the system.

She had just knocked out Shinichi Kudo with a single injection, preventing him from catching the culprit, and then she pretended to be stupid and naive in front of the culprit, all to make the culprit want to kill her to silence her.

Now, the murderer wanted to kill himself to silence him, and his plan has finally succeeded.

Seeing that there were finally things to buy in the Conan Mall, and that he also had 1 Kill Coin in his wallet, Jiang Chengbei, who is now the fake kid and fake Conan, immediately used his only Kill Coin to buy the Wall-Running skill.

System Page:

Name: Jiang Chengbei

Current identity: Conan Edogawa

Main quest: How can the world of Detective Conan exist without Conan?

When Conan doesn't exist in the Conan world, you will become Conan, and you will be the ultimate Conan, possessing all of Conan's equipment (including the tranquilizer watch, the leg-enhancing shoes, etc.).

When you transform into Conan, you will have an extra life. Even if you recklessly get killed, it will only mean that the mission is failed and your ability to transform into Conan disappears, but you will still turn back into Jiang Chengbei and be reborn.

Skills: Wall Climbing (lv1, requires 2 kill coins to upgrade to lv2), God's Right Kick (only available when transformed into Conan, can hit anything with one kick)

Aura: Death Aura (only possessed when transformed into Conan), Protagonist Aura (only possessed when transformed into Conan), Intelligence-Degrading Aura (only possessed when transformed into Conan), Ignoring Aura (only possessed when transformed into Conan)

Daily task: When a character in the story has murderous intent towards you, you will be rewarded with 1 kill coin. This reward is only given for the first instance of murderous intent; subsequent instances of murderous intent will not be rewarded with kill coins.

When a character in the storyline puts their murderous intent into action and attempts to assassinate you, you will be rewarded with 1 Kill Coin.

A minor character in the storyline can only be counted as one assassination attempt, and can earn a maximum of 2 kill coins. After one assassination attempt, subsequent assassinations will not reward kill coins.

The main character will attempt to assassinate you, and you can earn assassination coins multiple times. However, each case and the intervals between them can only count as one assassination, and the assassin must be involved in the case at that time.

Special reminder: If you make the first move, and then the characters in the story start to have murderous intent towards you, or start to retaliate and try to kill you, the system will not reward you with kill coins.

The system's first principle for rewarding kill coins is: only story characters can make the first move!

Detective Mall: When a character in the story intends to kill you, or actually kills you, the Detective Mall will sell that character's exclusive skills or aura, or Detective items.

The currency in the Ke Xue Mall is "Kill Coins," which are rewards given to characters in the story who harbor murderous intent towards you or attempt to assassinate you.

After you purchased Seiwa Zondo's Wall-Running skill, your current Kill Coins are 0.

Regular Marketplace: Sells ordinary goods available in the Conan world market at the lowest market prices. Goods include those from the official market, as well as those that have been sold on the black market and international arms market.

The currency in the regular store is real-world legal tender. This money must come from characters in the story who have murderous intent towards you or attempt to kill you. Once they fall into one of these two categories, you can rob them of their cash or cash belonging to them to recharge the regular store.

You currently have 0 currency in the regular store.

Chapter 2 Conan Edogawa, Shinichi Kudo's Savior

After Jiang Chengbei's silly and naive performance, Seiyu Zunde finally believed that the four-eyed kid in front of him had no relatives and had never told any adult about his murder.

Meanwhile, just as he himself said, this kid was invisible. Even though he was wandering around his villa where a murder had just occurred, the police officers who were currently investigating the case and maintaining the crime scene turned a blind eye to this troublesome brat. No one noticed that there was an extra child here.

Since no one is paying attention to him, and he keeps asking for 1 billion yen in hush money, isn't it just asking for death for a kid that nobody cares about to blackmail him?

Moreover, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the first time one kills is the hardest. He has just successfully overcome the most difficult first time of killing and did it perfectly, successfully defeating Shinichi Kudo, who is known as the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.

If you did such a perfect job the first time, what's so difficult about killing one more brat to silence him?

Thus, Jiang Chengbei and Seiyu Zunde, each harboring their own ulterior motives, both revealed their most hypocritical smiles and unanimously agreed to get away from the crowd and find an empty room to talk alone.

Away from the crowd, they arrived at a secluded room in the distance. As the owner of this villa, Seiwa Zunyu knew that this was the room with the best soundproofing.

Perhaps it was because they saw Jiang Chengbei as just a seven-year-old child, a weakling, that they felt the advantage was in their hands and victory was assured.

Or perhaps the death aura surrounding Jiang Chengbei was still at work, and Seiwa Zunde, who had developed murderous intent, finally took a substantial step.

As soon as he entered the house, he secretly closed the door and told Jiang Chengbei the combination to the safe in the room, so that he could open the safe and take the money himself, thus gaining his trust.

On the other hand, he removed the cast from his leg, took out a rope he found on the road, silently stood up, and quietly walked behind Jiang Chengbei, preparing to strangle the four-eyed child who dared to extort him.

Unlike Shinichi Kudo, the real Conan who is often ambushed, Jiang Chengbei, the fake Conan, may be morally questionable, but you can never doubt that he doesn't take precautions behind him.

So, before Seiyu Zunen had even made his move, he had already focused his attention on what was behind him. Seeing that the man had already acted through the mirror, confirming the completion of his daily task and receiving the 1 kill coin reward, he...

Having purchased the skill of scaling walls and rooftops, Jiang Chengbei, who was exceptionally agile, performed a somersault and kicked a bottle of beverage he had prepared in his hand with his right foot, which had already activated the power-enhancing shoes.

Bang! ! !

Because the two were so close, the bottle's flight time was negligible. Therefore, Jiang Chengbei, with his God's Right Kick skill, could kick exactly where he wanted to kick, and knocked out Seiyu Zunde with a single bottle of beverage.

After taking down Seiwa Zunde, Jiang Chengbei quickly opened the safe using the real password Seiwa Zunde had given him. The dozens of bundles of cash and some gold and silver jewelry inside would then be Jiang Chengbei's.

Thirty-odd bundles of cash, though they don't seem like much, each bill is worth 10,000 yen. A bundle of one hundred bills contains one million yen, so thirty-odd bundles would amount to more than thirty million yen, which is quite a large sum.

Because Seiyu Zunde harbored murderous intent towards Jiang Chengbei and even took action, the cash belonging to Seiyu Zunde could be directly deposited into the system and used to buy things in the system's ordinary store.

As for the remaining gold, silver, jewelry, securities, and deposits, these cannot be entered into the system. Even if Jiang Chengbei takes them to sell and converts them into cash, they cannot be entered into the system and become money in ordinary stores.

After drugging Shinichi Kudo, preventing him from catching the culprit, and then blackmailing the real killer to lure him into killing him to silence him, Jiang Chengbei's current gains are:

Skill: Wall-climbing (lv1)

The Ke Xue Mall offers 1 Kill Coin.

Available funds for ordinary stores: 3 million yen

Items purchased from the system store can be used immediately or stored in the system warehouse for later use when needed. After use, items can be stored back in the system warehouse.

Of course, the system warehouse can only store items purchased from the system; items from outside cannot be put in, except for cash used to kill one's own people.

After shopping at a regular store and buying some military equipment that could be used for his schemes, Jiang Chengbei wandered around the various rooms of the Seiyu residence, secretly collecting the cash that belonged to Seiyu Zunde and could be stored in his system.

After some scavenging, Jiang Chengbei managed to plunder a considerable amount of cash right under the noses of the Metropolitan Police Department officers, bringing back the 30 million yuan mark of available funds for his ordinary store, which had shrunk due to his shopping spree.

Cash belonging to Seiyu Zunde could be deposited into the system and taken away silently. Other valuables could not be deposited into the system's warehouse, so Jiang Chengbei had no choice but to buy a bag from an ordinary store, select some valuable gold and silver jewelry and bearer securities, put them in with a transmitter, and pack them away.

Then he used his skills to scale walls and climb to the top of the roof. With a powerful kick, enhanced by his leg-strengthening shoes, he sent the package flying into the darkness outside the villa.

After looting the spoils, Jiang Chengbei placed the unconscious Seiyu Zunde on a wheelchair, along with his removed cast and the used rope, and pushed him out.

Upon arriving in the lobby, the police officers, influenced by the combined aura of this fake Conan and Shinichi Kudo, were still doing useless work, busily and chaotically going about their business.

As for Shinichi Kudo, perhaps because it was his first time being drugged, his body had no resistance, and the drug's effects were very pronounced. Even now, he's still sitting in the corner pretending to be deep and thoughtful, just like the future Kogoro Mouri.

Relying on his aura that made everyone overlook him, Jiang Chengbei walked up to Shinichi Kudo, searched him, found the evidence he had discovered, and took it without any hesitation.

Thank you for the forensic department for not finding evidence, thank you for Shinichi Kudo for having an evidence-finding ability that is countless times better than the forensic department, and thank you for Shinichi Kudo for having the habit of secretly collecting evidence.

After pushing the unconscious Seiyu Zunenichi to the middle of the hall, Jiang Chengbei jumped onto the table, stomped his foot to attract everyone's attention, and then held up the evidence he had taken from Kudo Shinichi, loudly proclaiming:

"I, Conan Edogawa, have solved the case of Yamazaki Tetsuya's murder."

The murderer was the villa owner, Takutoku Sewa, who was sitting in a wheelchair and pretending that his leg injury had not yet healed.

"What I have here is the evidence of his murder. Now, I, Conan Edogawa, will recount to you the details of Seiba Takanobu's murder and how he created the locked room."

Although no one present believed that Jiang Chengbei, this fake elementary school student, could solve a case that even Shinichi Kudo admitted he couldn't solve, they were initially stunned by Jiang Chengbei jumping onto the table and stomping his feet, so they didn't react for a moment, allowing him to smoothly recount the case.

After Jiang Chengbei finished explaining his reasoning and presenting the evidence, in the Conan world where famous detectives' deductions serve as evidence and a complete chain of evidence is not necessary, the people present basically accepted his reasoning after hearing Jiang Chengbei's explanation.

At the same time, they began to discuss it amongst themselves, lamenting what had become of the world:

It's astonishing that high school students who didn't study hard in the past became detectives, and what's even more frustrating is that they were able to outmaneuver the Metropolitan Police Department and become the saviors of the Japanese police.

But today, an elementary school student solved a case that Shinichi Kudo couldn't solve, single-handedly suppressed the high school detective and the Metropolitan Police Department police, caught the murderer, and became Shinichi Kudo's savior. What's wrong with this world?

It's too hard to believe.

Just like when Shinichi Kudo received the title of savior from the Japanese police, from today onwards, that title is placed on Conan Edogawa's head.

According to the Sleeping Kogoro Mori Theorem, after solving the case in Jiangcheng North, both the comatose culprit and the anesthetized Shinichi Kudo woke up.

Shinichi Kudo isn't the muddle-headed Kogoro Mouri, so when he woke up, he immediately sensed something was wrong. After a little investigation, he deduced that the person who had ambushed him was Jiang Chengbei, the fake Conan.
