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

Page 148

He had been undercover at the brewery for several years and hadn't even discovered the base and research lab of Shiraiu Pharmaceuticals. How did a high school detective find it, bring in an armed helicopter to bomb it, kill everyone there, and then disappear without a trace? There were many other suspicious points, which aroused Amuro Tooru's interest.

Whether it's for the sake of the brewery or for the sake of Japan, Amuro Tooru has to find this criminal who flies an armed helicopter.

So during this time, he worked here in order to find Shinichi Kudo, who was hiding.

Now that he saw Jiang Chengbei, Amuro Tooru couldn't help but suspect that Shinichi Kudo had been recruited by Jiang Chengbei and his group, becoming a traitor to Japan and a lackey of the CIA. After all, the only people who could fly an armed helicopter out to bomb a building and then disappear without a trace afterward, leaving no clues, were the Japanese military and the United States.

Because the story is still in its early stages and Gin hasn't started making any big moves yet, Amuro Tooru hasn't expected that the organization he infiltrated could also do that.

Amuro Tooru and Conan were waiting for Kudo Shinichi's arrival, while Jiang Chengbei, carrying a camera, chatted with them casually.

From Amuro Tooru's conversation with Conan and his own seemingly casual inquiries about Shinichi Kudo, Jiang Chengbei and the Miyano sisters, who were watching the surveillance footage from afar, quickly guessed Amuro Tooru's intentions.

Considering that Shirakyu Pharmaceuticals was destroyed by Shinichi Kudo in an armed helicopter, it's not surprising that Tooru Amuro, a senior executive at the brewery, came looking for Shinichi Kudo.

After ordering a coffee for himself and Conan and sitting down in a booth, a little white bird hopped out from under Jiang Chengbei's feet, flew away after passing under the feet of several beautiful women.

After that, Jiang Chengbei, who stayed in the coffee shop, became a bit quiet and didn't talk much. At the same time, his coffee-drinking movements became somewhat mechanical.

Although Conan and Amuro Tooru found Jiang Chengbei's unusual behavior a bit strange, they were focused on waiting for Shinichi Kudo's arrival and didn't dwell on what was wrong with Jiang Chengbei.

The restrooms in this coffee shop are unisex; they are divided into several small cubicles, so they are shared by both men and women.

Jiang Chengbei waited in the toilet for a long time. Finally, after a burly man killed his lover, Jiang Chengbei flew into the stall through the gap above, transformed into a human, and came out of the toilet stall.

When Jiang Chengbei suddenly opened the toilet stall door and came out, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak or even scream. The burly man who had just plunged the dagger into the victim's chest was completely paralyzed.

When he saw Jiang Chengbei pretending to be terrified, he, the murderer, was also terrified. Fortunately, he was the first to recover from the shock. Before the terrified Jiang Chengbei could react, he grabbed the bandage he had just used to strangle the victim and rushed forward, preparing to repeat his old trick and use it to strangle the suddenly appearing eyewitness.

After obtaining 2 kill coins and having the Hemostatic Bandage, an item with magical life-saving power, added to the Ke Xue Shop, Jiang Chengbei stopped suppressing his commotion and started hitting his phone repeatedly, making quite a racket.

The clattering sounds coming from the restroom caught the attention of the waiter, Tooru Amuro. He went to the restroom door, turned the lock, and found it locked from the inside. He then started banging on the door and shouting:

"What happened inside? What's going on?"

After Amuro Tooru spoke, there was no response from inside, and the banging sounds grew louder and louder. Amuro Tooru realized something was wrong and started banging on the door.

After bursting through the door, Amuro Tooru immediately saw a woman lying on the ground with a dagger stuck in her chest, and another muscular, strong man also lying on the ground.

At the same time, a very familiar figure jumped out of the open window on the other side of the toilet, and before running away, he provocatively looked back at Amuro Tooru who rushed into the toilet.

"Tennessee! Stop right there!"

Although the other person was wearing a mask that covered most of their face, Amuro Tooru still recognized this guy at a glance.

With both old and new grudges settled, Amuro Tooru was instantly enraged when he saw the man who had killed several of his men twice. He roared and charged forward.

Seeing Amuro Tooru chasing after him, Jiang Chengbei pretended to start running.

As Amuro Tooru charged toward Jiang Chengbei, a little Conan appeared behind him. A chakra soccer ball bypassed Amuro Tooru, arced through the air, and shot toward the fleeing Jiang Chengbei.

When Amuro Tooru realized something was wrong with the restroom and started banging on the door, Conan, who was drinking coffee and waiting for his brother in the booth, also noticed what was happening. Overwhelmed by his sense of justice, Conan immediately abandoned waiting for his brother and focused on solving the case and Ran's date with him, and came over without hesitation to meddle in Amuro Tooru's affairs.

Amuro Tooru is a policeman, so Conan naturally helps him. In addition, there is a muscular man lying in the toilet and a woman with a dagger in her chest, which clearly indicates a murder. At the same time, the only person running away from the scene is a guy whose figure looks somewhat familiar but is wearing a mask. Without saying a word, Conan fires at him, kicking out the chakra soccer ball that works every time on ordinary people.

The chakra soccer ball, which works perfectly against ordinary people, is not so effective against Jiang Chengbei, who has a cheat code. With his level 5 swordsmanship, he casually pulls out a dagger and cleaves the chakra soccer ball that was shot toward his head in two, then makes the split soccer ball disappear into thin air.

He pretended to be delayed by Conan's chakra soccer ball, and then Amuro Tooru caught up with him, giving Amuro the opportunity to attack him.

Unfortunately, Amuro Tooru didn't seize the opportunity. He only threw a few punches at Jiang Chengbei, and only used his fists to attack, so the system didn't give him any kill coins.

Since Amuro Tooru's punch didn't kill him, Jiang Chengbei had no choice but to run away. After his counterattack stunned Amuro Tooru, he immediately fled, creating distance and giving Amuro Tooru space to draw his gun and fire.

After creating some distance, the stiffness effect applied to Amuro Tooru quickly disappeared, and he and Conan, who was catching up with him on his short legs, ran side by side towards Jiangcheng North.

After chasing him from the narrow alleyway to the street, Conan immediately had a chakra skateboard under his feet, and then instantly accelerated, overtaking Amuro Tooru, who had legs much longer than his short legs.

Seeing Conan catching up with him using his Chakra Skateboard, which was faster than a car, and knowing that Conan hadn't provided him with a single Kill Coin yet, and that he wouldn't in the foreseeable future, Jiang Chengbei, who was running ahead, pulled out a pistol and started firing at Conan, who was overtaking him.

To dodge the bullets fired at him by Jiang Chengbei, Conan had to change direction and evade them, immediately ducking into a nearby building.

Jiang Chengbei opened fire in the street, bullets scattering cement fragments in front of the building obstacles where Conan was hiding. However, Amuro Tooru, who was chasing Jiang Chengbei, was still running and didn't even take out his broken pistol to fight back. This thwarted Amuro Tooru's plan to shoot Conan and thus provoke him to take action, since he was only focused on chasing and not thinking about firing.

He himself fired his gun, so why didn't Amuro Tooru, the public security officer, fire his own? Did he not bring his gun with him today?

Watching the brave policeman Amuro Tooru rush towards him without fear or hesitation, Jiang Chengbei kept cursing him in his heart for being an unqualified undercover policeman.

Even if you don't carry a gun as a police officer, you're still a manager at the distillery. As a manager at the distillery, how can you not carry a gun?

There's no other way; since Amuro Tooru hasn't pulled out his gun yet, he, as a criminal, has no choice but to deliver it to the police.

So, Jiang Chengbei, taking advantage of a moment of carelessness, had his pistol kicked away by the reckless Amuro Tooru. He then engaged Amuro Tooru in a fight, exchanging a few blows before kicking him towards the pistol.

After Amuro Tooru flew backwards towards the position of the pistol, Jiang Chengbei brandished the dagger, slicing and exploding one chakra soccer ball after another that Conan was shooting at.

Thanks to Jiang Chengbei's perfect performance and Conan's perfect teamwork, Amuro Tooru finally picked up the pistol that Jiang Chengbei had dropped on the ground.

Having lost several of his colleagues to Jiang Chengbei disguised as Tennessee Whiskey on two separate occasions, Amuro Tooru did not hesitate to fire a shot at Jiang Chengbei after finding the handgun.

As for why only one shot was fired, it's because there was only one bullet left in the pistol. All the previous shots had been fired at Conan, leaving only this one bullet for Amuro Tooru.

One bullet is exchanged for one kill coin. After obtaining one kill coin from Amuro Tooru, Jiang Chengbei, who had dodged the pistol bullet, turned around and left. After a running start, he began to leap and run along the wall.

Even though Jiang Chengbei was running on the wall and seemed much stronger than them, Conan and Amuro Tooru, who were willing to sacrifice their lives for justice, still chased after him relentlessly from below.

Even as Jiang Chengbei ran higher and higher, and finally leaped into the air, spreading his arms wide and shaking his shoulders, a glider suddenly appeared on his back, defying Newtonian physics and rising against gravity, flying higher and higher in the air, Conan and Amuro Tooru, who could only run on the ground, still kept up the chase.

From the sky above Jiangcheng North, watching Amuro Tooru and Conan running on the ground, when their view was blocked by a roof, they split in two again. A small, chubby white bird flew backward, while a dull, lifeless Tennessee whiskey-like bird continued to fly forward, carrying Conan and Amuro Tooru as they continued to wander around Tokyo.

Being able to fly means having good maneuverability. After separating from Amuro Tooru and Conan, Jiang Chengbei quickly flew back to the coffee shop, replacing the chakra substitute doll that was quietly sitting there drinking coffee.

Chapter 207 Conan: Amuro Tooru actually framed someone, can he still be considered a good policeman?

Based on information from various sources, Inspector Megure and his team quickly concluded that the murderer killed a man in the coffee shop restroom, knocked out a muscular man, escaped while being chased by waiter Amuro Tooru and Conan, and that a gunfight broke out nearby.

Because he thought he had been exposed last time, he forgot to keep Amuro Tooru's true identity a secret. Megure and the others already knew about it.

So when they arrived at the scene and investigated, they asked another waiter who was still at the coffee shop. After learning from her that the blond-haired, dark-skinned waiter who chased after them was Amuro Tooru, Inspector Megure and the others concluded that the masked man who ran away must be the culprit.

If he wasn't the murderer, why was he running away?

Moreover, he was wearing a mask, hiding his face, and was being chased by undercover police officers, so he must be the murderer.

If he's not the murderer, then what is Amuro Tooru, this undercover public security officer, chasing?

As for how they knew the person escaping was wearing a mask, it's simple. After Amuro Tooru broke down the door, Conan was the first to run over to uphold justice, and another person with a sense of justice and a love for meddling, Eri Kisaki, also ran over to watch the commotion and witnessed part of the escape process between Kojo Kita and Amuro Tooru after a few moves.

The blond-haired, dark-skinned man in the coffee shop restroom, the elementary school student in a suit, the masked man wearing a mask, and the gunfight that took place not far from the coffee shop were all the same three people. Inspector Megure and his team have already investigated and eliminated them.

The three of them, one ran and the other two chased, and no one knew where they had gone.

But without much thought, since the person wearing the mask was being chased by the undercover police officer and the "death god" elementary school student, and even pulled out a pistol to shoot at the elementary school student, such an inhumane act of shooting at elementary school students, what else could he be but the murderer?

Upon hearing that the police had mistaken him for the murderer and that he had returned after wandering around with Amuro Tooru and Conan, Jiang Chengbei panicked. He took the laptop from the Miyano sisters, who were watching the commotion outside the coffee shop, and went to Inspector Megure's side, saying:

"Brother Megure, you're wrong. I think the culprit isn't the masked man who escaped, but this muscular man lying on the ground, knocked unconscious."

As Jiang Chengbei spoke, he placed his laptop in front of Megure, opened the video he had just recorded, and continued:

“Inspector Megure, look at this guy. When he came in, his fingers were wrapped in bandages, but now, look, he's unwrapped them and is holding them in his hand.”

Looking at the marks left by the bandages on the deceased's neck, I think the murderer is very likely this unconscious muscular man.

Moreover, his fingers, which were wrapped in bandages, were not injured at all. Why would he wrap them in bandages if they weren't injured? It's obvious that he planned to kill someone in advance.

Inspector Megure, you should quickly compare the fingerprints on the murder weapon. It would be too hasty of you to conclude that the masked man who escaped is the killer based solely on your subjective assumptions.”

Thanks to Jiang Chengbei's efforts, the police, whose intelligence had been reduced, carefully reviewed the video footage taken by Jiang Chengbei and then meticulously compared it with the fingerprints on the murder weapon.

Finally, the police found the muscular man's fingerprints on the murder weapon, but the thoughtful Eri Kisaki chimed in with a comment:

"We don't know what happened when the toilet door was closed. Maybe the masked man who ran away wiped his fingerprints off the murder weapon after killing the woman, leaving the fingerprints of the muscular man he knocked unconscious. That's also possible."

If that masked man wasn't guilty, why would he run? Especially since he was carrying a gun and fired it in the street.

As for who the murderer is, one has fled and the other is still unconscious. I think we should wait until he wakes up before we can find out. We can't make such a hasty judgment.

"If he wakes up and finds out that a masked man with a gun escaped, will he put all the blame on the masked man? That's a big question."

We'd better not tell the masked man about the escape, lest he shift the blame onto someone else.

At Jiang Chengbei's request, Megure and his team decided to keep the fact that the masked man had escaped and not been caught a secret. After all, they hadn't been aware of secrecy when handling cases before, and had always conducted their investigations openly and selflessly in front of the murderer and suspects.

After ensuring secrecy, Inspector Megure and his team finally woke up the muscular man. Because they were easily swayed, they followed Jiang Chengbei's instructions. As soon as the muscular man woke up, the police said he was the murderer and recounted how he first used a bandage wrapped around his finger to strangle the woman unconscious, then stabbed her in the chest, and finally, there were witnesses in the cubicle.

After the police recounted the entire crime, with fingerprints still on the murder weapon and the muscular man believing there was still a witness who had knocked him unconscious, he reluctantly confessed to his crime, revealing his relationship with the dead woman and their identities.

When the murderer confessed his crime to the police and surrendered, Jiang Chengbei was given one chance to transform, making up for the chance he had used up that day.

Just as the murderer was about to reveal his motive, Conan and Amuro Tooru, who had been chasing him for a long time without success, returned.

When Amuro Tooru saw that the police officer in charge of investigating the case was Inspector Megure, whom he had met a few times and who knew his true identity, he couldn't help but shout:

"Inspector Megure, the culprit has escaped! Issue an arrest warrant for him immediately!"

"The killer got away? Wasn't he the killer?" Hearing this from his blond, dark-skinned colleague, Inspector Megure was shocked for a moment, then pointed to the muscular man in handcuffs beside him and said:

"Didn't he kill the person?"

Even though Kogoro Mouri is an innocent and good person, Tooru Amuro still framed him. So, he certainly can't let Tennessee Whiskey, the CIA agent who killed several of his colleagues, get away with it.

I haven't been able to find any information about him and don't know his true identity, but now that he's involved in a murder case, how can I let him get away with it so easily?

Regardless of whether he is the murderer or not, as long as he is accused of murder, other police forces can legitimately join the investigation against him; more people means more power.

I can't find his true face by myself. There are so many police officers in Japan. What if someone just happens to stumble upon him by chance?

Furthermore, he was dressed exactly the same each time he met Tennessee three times. Now that he's been convicted of murder and is on the police's wanted list, wouldn't it be even easier to find him?

Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru insisted that the masked man who had escaped was the murderer. He then recounted what had just happened, clearly conveying to Tonoyama Juzo, who was now identified as the murderer, that while he was unconscious, a masked man had escaped from the crime scene, and that this masked man was carrying a gun and had fired shots in the street, among other things.

As Amuro Tooru recounted his story, the true culprit, Tonoyama Juzo, shuddered, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

Amuro Tooru was the first to break down the door and followed them all the way. He was a police officer who said the masked man was the murderer and kept presenting the facts and reasoning with them, which made Inspector Megure and the others hesitate.

"Mr. Amuro, please don't get agitated. The murderer, Tonoyama Juzo, has already confessed. He admitted it himself..."

"No, that's nonsense. I didn't kill anyone. I'm a victim too!"

When I came out of the toilet stall, I saw a body lying on the floor. The murderer was the masked man who ran away. Then he knocked me unconscious, and after that, I remember nothing more!

After listening to Amuro Tooru's story, Tonoyama Juzo didn't know who the masked man Amuro Tooru was talking about was. After all, when Jiang Chengbei, who had become Kudo Shinichi, appeared in front of him, he wasn't wearing a mask and had a cowardly face that looked easy to bully and kill.

Jiang Chengbei has mastered the Chakra Human Skin Mask, which can also be called the Chakra Face-Changing Technique. He can change any face he wants in a second.

When witnessing the murderer committing the crime, in order to make the murderer more impulsive and easier to kill and silence witnesses, Jiang Chengbei presented Dianshan Shisan with a carefully selected weak, helpless, and aggrieved face, the kind that makes people want to kill him at first glance.
