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

Page 21

In his mind, Inspector Megure kept criticizing Jiang Chengbei for lacking emotional intelligence, unlike the Kudo father and son who knew how to behave.

Life is all about getting along well with everyone. If you act like Conan, you won't make any friends, and you'll definitely have a hard time getting by in the future.

That's true. Conan is an orphan, without parents or any upbringing. How would he know anything about this?

Sigh, the heavy responsibility of raising Conan will fall on my shoulders from now on. The heavy workload at the police station is already overwhelming me. I don't know if I can handle it if I add raising Conan on top of that.

Megure was worrying about his future self, while the reporter who was watching all of this was mentally planning the news report he would write later.

Although I haven't figured out the specifics of how to write it yet, it's worth mentioning that the Metropolitan Police Department wastes so much of its annual budget on these incompetent scalpers. It would be better to give bounties to useful elementary school students. After all, they need Jiang Chengbei to keep causing trouble to generate topics and traffic for their news reports.

The reporters had such plans, and Jiang Chengbei did not disappoint them. After pointing out the police's wild idea, he took piano wire and an iron hook and explained how to use the speed of a roller coaster to kill someone.

After Jiang Chengbei's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that the wound from cutting off the victim's head was so smooth because the murder weapon was a piano string that had been hung on the track using an iron hook.

At the same time, the force was not the meager strength that humans possess, but the enormous impact of a roller coaster. Only such immense force could achieve such a smooth separation of the head and body. I've learned something new.

After explaining the principles of the crime to everyone, Jiang Chengbei officially began to implement Plan C.

Before it was done, Jiang Chengbei relied entirely on his aura, pointing one finger at Gin and Vodka and letting out a loud shout:

"The cunning frog keeps touching your stomach: they're the culprits!"

The system message popped up as soon as the words were spoken.

System message: Gin has murderous intent towards you. Reward: 1 Kill Coin. New skills added to the Science Shop: Crisis Warning, Killer Aura, Shooting Precision, Sniping, Top-notch Fighting Skills, Gunfighting Skills, Super Willpower, Powerful Spirit, Low-key Lv4 (Standard equipment from the brewery, added as a bonus, cannot be purchased)...

Looking at the abundance of Gin skills newly listed in the Ke Xue Mall, Jiang Chengbei's Plan C was half successful. As for the unsuccessful one, he would try again.

So Jiang Chengbei continued pointing at Vodka's nose and shouted, "The murderer is this big, dumb guy, the one who always wears sunglasses to hide his flirtatious eyes."

Jiang Chengbei added a few descriptive words that he had just guessed, and Vodka, the slow-witted big oaf, finally reacted, staring at Jiang Chengbei with a fierce look and a menacing expression.

System message: Vodka has murderous intent towards you. Reward: 1 Kill Coin. New skills added to the Ke Xue Shop: Driving Skills of a Veteran Driver, Hacking Techniques, Shooting, Melee Combat, Superb Ability to Recognize Big Brothers, Night Vision, Low Profile Lv3 (Standard equipment for the brewery, added as a bonus, cannot be purchased)...

Like Gin, Vodka also added a large number of skills to the Science Mall in Jiangcheng North.

With this, Plan C was a great success, a perfect ending!

Gin and Vodka's skills are so powerful that they dominate the rankings, surpassing the combined skills of more than ten other characters. They truly deserve to be called the "big blood packs" of the Conan world.

Gin and his underlings supported the entire distillery. Even if they weren't the world's lifeline, they were at least the distillery's lifeline.

Seeing the police surround him and look at him, Gin coldly said, "I didn't kill him!"

At the same time, Gin put his hand in his coat pocket, gripping the Beretta inside, ready to kill any policemen who made the slightest move.

Chapter 34 Gin: My desire to kill you can no longer be hidden.

"That's right, Conan is right!"

The roller coaster has a bumper, so the passengers can't move. The only ones who could put the piano coil around the deceased's neck are Miss Aiko sitting next to him and you, the big man in black sitting behind him.

We found a bloodstained knife in Miss Aiko's bag. If she were the real murderer, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths. So the murderer can only be you, the man sitting at the back wearing sunglasses.

"Speak up, what's your name? What's your background? Don't be a dumbfounded oaf, I'm talking about you, you big guy in sunglasses."

After hearing Jiang Chengbei's accusations, Inspector Megure immediately stood up to express his agreement. Despite Gin's murderous aura, he shouted at Vodka, who seemed a little easier to bully, with a show of bravado but a lack of real courage.

After shouting, he carefully mumbled something else:

"It's so strange today. These two people sitting behind the deceased have been listed as key suspects by us. Why haven't we asked them about their situation yet?"

They didn't even ask for my name. That's unacceptable; it's a serious dereliction of duty.

Upon discovering that Inspector Megure had also noticed the problem, Jiang Chengbei rolled his eyes, too lazy to even comment.

In the original series, Gin and Vodka were the two who had the easiest time committing the crime and looked the most like the bad guys among the suspects, making them the most suspicious. However, they just stood by and watched the whole thing from beginning to end. When a policeman went up to ask them for background information, or even just procedural questions like their names, ages, occupations, and why they were there, none of these routine investigations were conducted, which was completely absurd.

However, when Jiang Chengbei traveled to the Conan world, he saw that Gin Vodka's skill included the distillery's employee aura—low profile—which everyone had. He then realized that even if a cold-blooded killer were to provoke him in front of him, the police might turn a blind eye.

Low profile: Standard equipment in the distillery, a new employee benefit, everyone gets one, ranging from level 1 to level 5. The higher the level, the more low-profile you are in the public eye and the less attention you will attract.

If you maintain a low profile, no matter how high-profile or flashy your actions are, people will still perceive you as a low-key person and won't pay much attention to an insignificant passerby like you.

Unfortunately, the "Low-key" one can only be given to each employee as a new employee benefit after joining the winery, so it's impossible for everyone to have one. Otherwise, Jiang Chengbei would definitely buy one.

Having just obtained 2 kill coins from Gin Vodka, and adding to the 9 kill coins he already had, Jiang Chengbei gritted his teeth and spent 10 kill coins to purchase Gin's Danger Warning under the overwhelming killing aura of Gin.

Danger warning: When encountering danger, the body will reflexively avoid it. As long as your physical fitness is up to par, bullets will only be able to follow you around and get dusted.

With Gin, this dangerous individual, right in front of him, his desire to kill him was no longer a secret.

However, Jiang Chengbei is still just a small and weak 7-year-old child. Even if he were to buy Gin's top-notch fighting ability, as well as his accurate shooting, sniping, first-class fighting skills, gunfighting skills, super will, and strong spirit, it would not be of much use.

Even if I bought top-notch fighting techniques, could my child's body still fight him?

If you dare to fight him, he'll dare to kill you, do you believe it?

Even if you buy a precision shot or a sniper rifle, can you still pull out an MP5K and shoot them all in broad daylight?

If it really comes down to a life-or-death situation, instead of pulling out firearms in public and fighting them head-on, wouldn't it be better to pull out an RPG, a Gatling gun, an armored vehicle, or a tank than to pull out a small-caliber submachine gun?

If your aim isn't good enough, make up for it with firepower—that's the right way to use the system store.

Since I don't have the discreet skills that are standard in the distillery, the only way to survive under Gin's gunfire without attracting attention is to use danger warnings combined with wall-running to dodge bullets.

With so many police officers on the scene, Gin wouldn't get many bullets. He could dodge one or two, otherwise, if Gin kept chasing him, his temper would allow the police to keep firing without him retaliating.

Thinking about the police, Jiang Chengbei immediately thought of how unreliable the police were in the Conan world. What if so many police officers were wiped out by Gin and Vodka in a few shots? Wouldn't he then have to face Gin and Vodka's crossfire?

Since Gin and Vodka have already decided to kill themselves, and their skills are all available, it's better to find those flashy but incompetent random killers and extract their kill coins from them rather than from Gin.

So, for the sake of these policemen's lives, Jiang Chengbei pulled Mu Mujie (Inspector Megure) back, who was about to order his men to question and search them, and whispered:

"Wait, Megure, I sense they have heavy firepower. You junior officers are no match for them. Call for backup, preferably the SAT, otherwise it will only increase casualties."

"That can't be right, can it? Although they look a bit fierce, they're dressed in formal attire and aren't carrying bags or anything. If they were really carrying heavy weapons, where would they hide them?"

"Kidd even has a fitted tuxedo. Can you tell where he hid the hang glider? Can you tell where he hid the several sets of disguises he prepared in advance?"

Can you figure out where Kidd hid all those little things, like playing cards, pistols, gas canisters, and even pigeons?

"Inspector Megure, if you can't even spot what Kid, a kid, is hiding on his person, then you'd better prepare more for these two men in black who are far more dangerous than him, so you don't regret it later when you're collecting your men's corpses."

Faced with Gin's palpable killing intent, Jiang Chengbei, not wanting to suffer a loss, hid behind Inspector Megure's massive body. While trying to intimidate Megure, he bought an armored vehicle in a regular shopping mall. In case the police couldn't hold out, he could hide in the armored vehicle and use the grenade launcher and heavy machine gun on it to mow down Gin and his vodka who wanted to kill him.

Seriously, Gin, do you have to be so petty and narrow-minded?

All I did was casually frame him, and now he's taking another life for such a small thing. He's staring at me with murderous intent, acting like he has to kill me. He's so petty, not a real man.

"Conan, you're not kidding, are they really armed with heavy weapons? Do you have any proof?"

"Megure, what kind of evidence do you need? You've been a policeman for decades, can't you see the overwhelming stench of blood on them?"

The murderous aura emanating from them was almost tangible; how many people must they have killed to accumulate that?

"The smell of blood? The murderous aura? Do these things really exist? I can't see them. Conan, don't give me that mystical talk. I need to ask my superiors for support, to get the SAT involved. I need evidence."

If we have to deploy the SAT for a simple murder case, how are we supposed to get our jobs done?

"Megure, didn't you see them put their hands in their pockets? I guarantee that the Berettas they're holding are aimed at us right now."

Listen to my advice, either pretend I never said anything today, don't send your men to question them, don't search them, just treat them like strangers, as if nothing happened, and let these two murderers go.

"Either we call in AST for support, strike first, don't ask anything, just shoot them dead the moment we see them. Otherwise, if they realize what's happening, we'll definitely lose a few. In that case, Megure, you'll have to help apply for compensation for our men."

"hiss……"

Startled by Jiang Chengbei's words, Inspector Mu took a deep breath.

If it's really as Jiang Chengbei said, then Muguru remembered that only he and Takagi had a .38 revolver, while the other police officers present didn't even have a firearm. If a gunfight really broke out, would these guys have to go up with their batons and fight these two mysterious men in black to the death?

While Inspector Megure was considering Jiang Chengbei's words, the young police officer who was about to go up and question him was also intimidated by Gin's murderous aura. He couldn't even do the most basic questioning and investigation and was stunned on the spot.

Especially after Gin coldly stated, "I didn't kill him," those who heard it felt as if someone had pointed a finger at their heads, leaving them no choice but to believe that the blond man in black was telling the truth.

If you don't believe it, it feels like you're being held at gunpoint, with your head about to be blown off at any moment.

Chapter 35 Kudo: Haha, Conan has finally been caught off guard, and I, Kudo Shinichi, have risen again!

After being intimidated by Jiang Chengbei, Inspector Megure lost interest in searching and arresting Gin and Vodka. He simply ordered his men to surround them, asking them a few random questions to prevent them from escaping, while also not daring to provoke them.

When questioned by the police, Gin and Vodka remained defiant, refusing to answer a single word or even use a pseudonym, too lazy to deal with these incompetent officers.

With firepower, marksmanship, and ability, Gin and Vodka completely outmatched the police present. If it weren't for the organization's instructions to keep a low profile, they would have already drawn their guns and mowed down these incompetent police officers.

Gin glanced disdainfully at the policeman who was asking for his name, then gave Jiang Chengbei, who was hiding behind the fat policeman, a cold laugh:

Don't think that hiding behind a pile of fat makes your Beretta untouchable.

Gin had determined that he only needed two steps and two shots to kill this brat who dared to falsely accuse him.

First step, first shot: one shot to blow the head off the fat, tanned guy in front of me.

Second step, second shot: After the fat guy who got his head blown off falls down, shoot this kid in the head again.

Just as the police and Gin & Vodka were locked in a silent standoff amidst the chaos in Jiangcheng North, Shinichi Kudo, having searched the tunnel without finding the murder weapon, emerged, unwilling to give up.

As soon as he came out, he found the police and Gin in an awkward and difficult situation. After he understood the situation, Shinichi Kudo rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Brother Kudo, what do you think of this? Should I seek support from headquarters now, or risk going up to question and search these two murderers?"

If I ask headquarters for help, I don't have any evidence to prove that these two are dangerous terrorists. If I go and arrest them directly, I'm afraid my brothers will be injured or killed. It's a real dilemma.

"Brother Kudo, give me some advice."

"Inspector Megure, don't listen to Conan's nonsense. You're just easily swayed. No matter who it is or what they say, you believe them without thinking."

Inspector Megure, have you forgotten the days when you were completely fooled by the murderer? Have you forgotten how Uncle Mori repeatedly led you into the maze?

"You believe what Conan, a child, says? Even if he accidentally solved four cases and caught several criminals, today, I, Shinichi Kudo, can tell you definitively that he's been fooled. The culprit isn't those two men in black you mentioned!"

When he heard that Jiang Chengbei had mistaken the murderer, Shinichi Kudo was actually very happy. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion and the fact that he was waiting for Jiang Chengbei to show off, he would have laughed like a pig right now.

Originally, he was only dragged here by Ran to relax. Under her persuasion that "relaxing will make your mind more flexible, refresh your thinking, and make it easier to find a way to solve the case," Shinichi Kudo temporarily put aside his obsession with tracking down the serial gunman. Otherwise, why would he have accompanied Ran to the amusement park?

Could it be that he really felt guilty for skipping Xiaolan's karate final and thus accompanied her to the amusement park?

Impossible. Shinichi Kudo isn't that kind of person. A murder case is a matter of life and death. How can a little girl's love and affection compare to a matter of life and death?

Shinichi Kudo originally thought that coming to the amusement park would be just a simple and boring day, but unexpectedly, a life-or-death matter occurred today, which just happened to hit a nerve.

However, things didn't start well today. He couldn't find the murder weapon or any evidence, and for the first time, he felt that his evidence-gathering skills were on par with those of a forensic expert.
