As Conan's singing grew louder, the entire Metropolitan Police Department was filled with groans and panic. Even those hiding under desks were still tormented by Conan's singing.
I'm too hard!
I can tolerate the endless overtime and cases that I can't solve every day, but I can't stand having to listen to Conan's songs now!
So, ever since Conan gained the power of chakra and his voice became louder, police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department joined the protesters outside the Metropolitan Police Department after get off work. They strongly demanded that the police leadership either send Conan to prison immediately or release him immediately.
Conan sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to the moon all night long, and his voice is so loud. No matter where you hide, as long as you are in the Metropolitan Police Department, you have to listen to Conan's singing anytime, anywhere. Who can stand it?
Jiang Chengbei never expected that before the chakra soccer ball, chakra voice changer, and chakra super hearing appeared, the chakra megaphone would appear first, causing chaos in the Metropolitan Police Department when combined with Conan's singing.
Ever since Conan truly felt the power of chakra while singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to the moon, his entire worldview has changed.
He used to envy Xiaolan's ability to smash a telephone pole with a single punch, but now he no longer needs to envy her; he feels he could do it himself.
So, he found an opportunity and, with all his might, punched the wall hard.
As expected, Conan's power after gaining chakra was incredibly painful. Conan knelt on the ground, clutching his swollen fist, and wept silently. He didn't cry out loud because the pain in his hand had rendered him mute.
Several hours later, Conan finally recovered from the pain in his hand. Once the pain subsided, he regained his ability to think.
Why can Ran, who has no chakra, crack a wall with a single punch, while Kurenai, who has chakra, can create a large hole in a wall with a single palm strike?
Moreover, he and the top student are brothers, and they both cultivated chakra, so why can't Conan do the same?
Could it be that his chakra only made his voice louder, more penetrating, and able to travel further?
That's it?
Chapter 103 If Abe Yutaka can't get the 5 million yen insurance money, Negishi Masaki won't get it either.
As Jiang Chengbei was examining his newly acquired skill, "Words Can Be Made Lawful," another surprise awaited him.
After Abe Yutaka was kicked against the wall by Jiang Chengbei and lost his fighting ability, he never expected that Negishi Masaki, who had been stabbed earlier, was still alive.
He picked up the knife that had fallen from Abe Yutaka's hand, got up, pounced on him, and started stabbing him. One stab for another wasn't enough. With his own example of surviving a stab wound, Negishi Masaki learned his lesson and wouldn't stop until he had stabbed Abe Yutaka to death.
After Masaki Negishi killed Abe Yutaka, Kojo went up north to check Abe Yutaka's pulse and other parts of his body, getting his hands and clothes covered in blood. He sighed and said:
"It's a pity. If Abe Yutaka hadn't died at your hands, you could have gotten the 5 million yen insurance money. Unfortunately, he died at your hands."
Moreover, if you can't find a good lawyer, you might not even be able to protect yourself for excessive self-defense, and you could end up being convicted of manslaughter in the heat of passion.
After all, before you could kill him, I had already kicked him, temporarily rendering him immobile.
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei turned his head and pointed to the DV camera on the ground, and continued:
"See? The DV camera was on the whole time. It recorded everything from picking you up from the ground to stabbing you to death, leaving you motionless and unable to resist, like Abe Yutaka."
"Forget it. You're the kind of unlucky guy who got betrayed by your best friend, almost killed by him, and even had to leave him 5 million in insurance money. Now you've managed to kill him, but because you did it yourself, you won't get your friend's 5 million in insurance money, and you're going to jail for murder. Enough said, I'm calling the police."
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei sat on the floor with his back to Gengan Masaki, took out his phone, sighed, and slowly started dialing the police number. It was just a simple 110, but Jiang Chengbei pressed the wrong number several times and couldn't dial it for a long time.
I don't know if it was because Jiang Chengbei's death aura, which had only been there for a few days, was working, or if Jiang Chengbei's words touched on Negishi Masaki's heart.
Anyway, he felt that if Abe Yutaka was killed by this strange kid who suddenly broke into his house, and they both died in the end, wouldn't he be able to get the 5 million insurance money and avoid going to jail?
It was Abe Yutaka who suggested that they take out a 5 million yen life insurance policy for each other. Moreover, Abe Yutaka paid homage to Conan by designing a method of murder where the police knew he was the murderer but could not find evidence to arrest him.
Kill him, and you can still profit off him, get 5 million in insurance money from him, and you won't even have to go to jail. Just thinking about it makes me angry!
If Abe Yutaka can do all that, why can't Negishi Masaki? Why should he go to jail for killing him and not even get the 5 million yen insurance money?
You should know that the money to buy the insurance money for Abe Yutaka was paid by Masaki Negishi. He paid the money and he died, so why can't he get the 5 million yen insurance money?
Thinking of this, evil thoughts arose in his mind. Having already started killing, and blinded by blood, Masaki Negishi rushed towards Jiangcheng North with his knife.
Although Jiang Chengbei had his back to Negishi Masaki, he had a danger warning from Gin and the system would also give him kill coins. So as soon as Negishi Masaki made a move, Jiang Chengbei reacted, dodged his attack, and subdued him with a kick.
After subduing Masaki Negishi, Jiang Chengbei then called the police.
After reporting the incident to the police, Jiang Chengbei waited for them to arrive while sorting through his day's haul.
Witnessing Abe Yutaka kill Negishi Masaki aroused Abe Yutaka's murderous intent, which led him to take action. He received 2 Kill Coins and purchased a Level 1 Speech Manifestation.
After witnessing Masaki Negishi kill Yutaka Abe, Masaki Negishi developed a murderous intent towards him and successfully carried it out, earning him 2 more kill coins and a new skill called "Sealing Words as Law" in the Conan Shop.
Sealing the "Words Become Law" skill: If you are not satisfied with the random effects of "Words Become Law," you can purchase to seal the "Words Become Law" skill.
The level 1 "Seal Words Become Law" skill can seal one "Words Become Law" effect, and can be canceled at any time after sealing; it's a free choice. Level 2 can seal two, and so on.
Seeing these two skills that are both love and hate each other, and looking at the two people on the ground who are also love and hate each other, Jiang Chengbei didn't find it strange at all.
By now, Jiang Chengbei has acquired a multitude of skills, and he currently has hundreds of billions of usable funds in his regular store, as well as 20 Kill Coins in his Ke Xue Mall.
While waiting for the police, Jiang Chengbei had nothing better to do, so he forced a conversation with Gengishi Masaki, whom he had subdued, and quickly found out what had happened between them.
A few months ago, Abe Yutaka, whose company was facing bankruptcy due to poor business, sought solace in alcohol from Negishi Masaki.
During their conversation, Yutaka Abe deliberately mentioned that although his career was not going well, he was now broke, and his company was facing bankruptcy, he would definitely outlive Masaki Negishi.
Masaki Negishi died before he could spend all his money, while Yutaka Abe lost his money but was still alive.
Because he disagreed with Abe Yutaka's statement, Masaki Keishi got into an argument with Abe Yutaka.
Finally, spurred on by Yutaka Abe, Masaki Negishi agreed to Abe's suggestion to make a bet on who would live longer, with each of them insuring the other with 5 million yen in insurance money as the wager.
Jiang Chengbei knew what happened next: Abe Yutaka hired Mouri Kogoro to follow Negishi Masaki and take photos of him as an alibi.
On the first and second days, Kogoro Mouri was following the real Masaki Negishi, and the photos he took were of him in person.
But that night, Abe Yutaka killed him and sent his body to Gunma Prefecture overnight, hiding it in a bonfire in the village of Fire Festival. The body would be burned on the fourth day when the fire festival was held, so that the police would not be able to find the exact time of death from the burned body.
On the third day, the "Masaki Negishi" that Kogoro Mouri was tracking and filming was actually a homeless man who looked very much like Masaki Negishi, whom Yutaka Abe had already found. This created the false impression that Masaki Negishi was still alive during the day and that his death occurred at the earliest on the night of the third day.
This led to him starting his trip to Kyushu with his company employees on the third day, and then playing mahjong with them almost all night on the third night. He didn't have time to run back to Tokyo to commit murder during the few hours he had to rest separately, then transport the body to Gunma, and then back to Kyushu, among other things.
Abe Yutaka's plan was perfect, but unfortunately Jiang Chengbei had been lying in wait for him. Jiang Chengbei caught him in the act and then killed him in return.
Without Jiang Chengbei, he was able to make his words outlive Negishi Masaki and successfully fulfill them, so Jiang Chengbei's reward to Abe Yutaka was that his words became law.
However, due to Jiang Chengbei's interference, his "words become law" failed, so Negishi Masaki's reward was to seal "words become law".
Chapter 104 Hattori Heiji: You say I'm on par with Kudo Shinichi? That's an insult! I challenge you to a duel!
Jiang Chengbei didn't have to wait long, because the sooner the police arrived, the sooner they could get rid of Conan, who was singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to the moon every night in the Metropolitan Police Department. So this time the police arrived particularly quickly.
Since Megure was on leave, Shiratori Ninzaburo and Chiba Kazunobu came instead.
Because there was video footage, even though Jiang Chengbei's hands and clothes were stained with blood, the facts were still clear; all he needed to do was go back and watch the video.
When Shiratori and Chiba arrived, Jiang Chengbei suddenly realized that if he was very strong and good at fighting, and his reputation spread that he could capture or kill the murderer every time, it would be very disadvantageous for him to witness the murderer killing someone again and have the murderer silence him.
So Jiang Chengbei asked Shiratori and Chiba not to reveal that he had caught the murderer, and even if the Metropolitan Police Department wanted to commend him as a good citizen of Beika Town, they should not mention his name.
Jiang Chengbei requested that the credit for catching the murderer on the spot be either directly given to a certain good citizen, or that all the credit be given to Kogoro Mouri.
Shiratori didn't want to lie about such a trivial matter and let unrelated people take the credit, so Jiang Chengbei changed his story, saying that this time the culprit was caught by a detective from the Mouri Detective Agency.
He is the nominal owner of the Mouri Detective Agency, so it's quite fitting for him to call himself a detective from the Mouri Detective Agency. When people hear "detective from the Mouri Detective Agency," they will instinctively think of Kogoro Mouri.
In this way, when Jiang Chengbei, an unknown person, encounters a murderer again, he certainly won't be afraid because he's heard that the detectives at the Mouri Detective Agency can catch the murderer or kill him in the process every time, and then give up the idea of killing him to cover it up, right?
The case involving Abe Yutaka and Negishi Masaki was quickly resolved, and the next day, Jiang Chengbei and Mouri Kogoro went to the Metropolitan Police Department to give statements.
Because the Metropolitan Police Department has been plagued by negative news lately and is having a tough time, it's rare to have a case where a murderer with cruel methods and a perfect plan was caught on the spot, so regardless of whether it's useful or not, the Metropolitan Police Department still uses this case to suppress the heat of other scandals.
Thanks to the Metropolitan Police Department's publicity efforts, Kogoro Mouri, a former Metropolitan Police Department detective and now a third-rate detective, was finally able to appear in the newspapers.
Mori was able to boast in the newspapers thanks to Abe Yutaka's perfect murder plan, so he lavishly praised how perfect the plan was. As for how he saw through it, stopped Abe Yutaka from killing, and then caused Abe Yutaka to be killed in return, he could only gloss over that.
Because his client, Yutaka Abe, died, Kogoro Mouri didn't receive a single penny of the agreed-upon 50 yen commission. His two days of stalking and photography were wasted, and he even lost a lot of film.
Upon realizing he had lost money again, Kogoro Mouri suddenly remembered that since encountering Jiang Chengbei, this jinx, he had not only lost the Mouri Detective Agency, but also all his business.
Even though he had received several business deals, his first case was snatched away by Jiang Chengbei, and he only received a small travel fee.
The second time was for his idol. Because Jiang Chengbei always said that he was a fake fan, Kogoro Mouri reluctantly refused the reward that Yoko Okino was going to give him. He was afraid that if he accepted the money, he would never be able to get rid of the label of fake fan.
This time, I thought it would be an easy task, but I invited Jiang Chengbei to experience the life of a detective. As a result, I wasted two days. The client was directly killed by Jiang Chengbei. He is gone. Who is going to ask for the 50 yuan commission fee?
After figuring all this out, Kogoro Mouri immediately started complaining to Jiang Chengbei.
But before he could even complain a few words, Jiang Chengbei, having understood his meaning, immediately took the initiative and loudly condemned Kogoro Mouri for being not only useless but also lazy, lacking in proper attitude and initiative. He said that if Kogoro were more reliable, they would have found the 6 million maple leaf gold coins long ago.
A legitimate reward of 1.2 million is equivalent to many small cases with low profit margins, such as those that only offer 50 or hundreds of thousands of yuan in rewards, which are hard work and not very profitable.
After being betrayed by Jiang Chengbei, Kogoro Mouri, the junior employee, was speechless and couldn't utter the words of complaint he had wanted to say.
Just as the owner of the Maori Detective Agency in Jiangcheng North was berating his incompetent employees for failing to make a single sale for three years, a dark-skinned boy wearing a baseball cap, carrying a travel bag, and speaking strangely knocked on the door and entered.
"Hello, I am Hattori Heiji, a high school detective from Osaka. I have come to see Detective Mouri of the Mouri Detective Agency."
After saying that, Hattori Heiji glanced at Jiang Chengbei and Mouri Kogoro a few times, then turned to Mouri Kogoro and said:
"You must be Detective Mori, right? I came all the way from Osaka to Tokyo to investigate a case, and now I need your help with a few things. Could you please answer a few questions for me?"
After listening to Heiji Hattori's account, Kogoro Mouri pointed to his nose and asked curiously:
"You're looking for me? But I don't know you, so why should I answer your questions?"
After Mori finished speaking, before Hattori Heiji could even open his mouth, Jiang Chengbei interrupted, asking with a surprised expression:
"What? Brother Black Chicken, you came to Tokyo this time to see Brother Mori? Aren't you as famous as Shinichi Kudo? Why aren't you here to see Shinichi Kudo?"
Hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, Hattori Heiji gave him a disapproving look and then said:
"Who are you? Do we know each other? This is the first time we've met, isn't it?"
When we first met, you called me "Heiji-nii" (older brother Heiji). We're not that close, are we?
Please call me Hattori or Hattori-kun from now on, not Heiji. We're not that close.
"Who called your name? I called you Black Chicken, Black Chicken, don't you understand? Black Chicken, Black Chicken, Osaka Black Chicken..."
Upon discovering that Heiji's pronunciation in Japanese sounds similar to "black chicken," Jiang Chengbei happily called out "Osaka black chicken" a few times, but unfortunately, only he understood this joy.
To Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro, Jiang Chengbei pronounced "Heiji" with a slightly foreign accent.
Hearing Jiang Chengbei continue to call out "Heiji" with his inaccurate pronunciation, Hattori Heiji was completely helpless.
"Fine, I'm not going to argue with you anymore, Black Chicken. You still haven't answered me. Why didn't you come to Tokyo this time to see your best buddy, Shinichi Kudo, who's just as famous as you?"
When Hattori Heiji heard Jiang Chengbei say that again, he became furious and shouted:
