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

Page 105

Like this group of elite criminals dressed in suits and looking respectable, this extra criminal was dressed similarly, except that he wore a mask and sunglasses indoors.

The skills of calling a deer a horse and being blinded by a leaf are truly powerful. Tanaka Tomofumi was able to place a corpse in front of Conan and openly use the corpse to pretend to be a living person, thus deceiving the famous detective Conan. Jiang Chengbei is now just dressed similarly to them, yet he can follow them to search his own home while filming with a DV camera, thus infiltrating the public security team.

While filming how they illegally searched their own homes, the camera also took close-ups of the faces of these lawbreakers, clearly recording their illegal acts.

Especially Amuro Tooru, the most conspicuous blond-haired, dark-skinned man, who was clearly an employee of the store, yet he brought outsiders to search his boss's house, and Jiang Chengbei recorded this clearly.

After recording these scenes, Jiang Chengbei felt that a confession was still missing, so while filming, he went to Kazami Yuya's side and said in a nasal voice:

"Kazami-senpai, I heard you're about to be promoted to inspector. I'd like to congratulate you in advance! You'd better treat us to a drink later to celebrate."

"I'm getting promoted to police inspector? How come I didn't know?" Kazami Yuya asked, pointing to his nose in shock as a masked man spoke to him.

"Really? I haven't heard this news myself?"

"Kazami-senpai, stop pretending. Even I, the newcomer, know that you're going to be promoted to inspector. How could you not know?"

Once you're promoted to inspector, you'll be able to sit on equal footing with Mr. Furuya, who often disappears and skips work.

Compared to this irresponsible leader of Group Zero, Kazami-senpai, I support you becoming our leader. I support you ousting Mr. Furuya. From now on, we'll all listen to you; you'll be our new leader of Group Zero.

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! Mr. Furuya is often missing and can't be found. He's actually gone to do... more important things, not what you think!"

Furthermore, if Mr. Furuya hadn't been delayed by that incident and had his file sealed, he would have been promoted long ago, not just the police inspector he is now!

I won't allow you to slander Mr. Furuya like that. What he does is far more important than what we do, and his abilities are far superior to mine. In his presence, I will always be a little subordinate who needs his guidance!

Mr. Furuya will always be my good boss, and you're not allowed to speak ill of him behind his back! Got it?

“I remember, Kazami-senpai, but I still feel sorry for you. Look at our Zero Group, you're always the one in charge, and you're always the one doing all the hard and tiring work.”

Look at you, you're so tired you have dark circles under your eyes. You put so much effort into the work of Team Zero, you're indispensable and the most important person in our team.

But no matter how hard or tiring it is, you are not the leader of Group Zero, and you don't get any credit. Instead, you are given the job as a tool and a slave to Shinobu, who is usually elusive, often skips work to work as a waiter, earns extra money on the side, and is irresponsible.

"Kazami-senpai, I feel so sorry for you."

After Jiang Chengbei rambled on for so long, Kazami Yu also found the key point and asked with wide eyes, "What do you mean by Mr. Furuya working as a waiter to earn extra money?"

"Mr. Furuya's features are so distinctive. Look at his blond hair and dark skin. I often see him working in stores, supermarkets, and coffee shops to earn money."

A police officer quit his job to work as a waiter or shop assistant to earn extra money; that's really neglecting his duties.

"Stop slandering Mr. Furuya. He's an undercover investigator... Hmm? Why are you wearing a mask?"

Under the influence of calling a deer a horse and being blinded by a leaf, Kazami Yuya initially didn't notice anything amiss. However, Jiang Chengbei's words went too far and were completely inconsistent with the great image of Furuya Rei in Kazami Yuya's mind.

So, he realized something was amiss and looked at Jiang Chengbei with a puzzled expression: "Also, who are you? Why have you been slandering Mr. Furuya?"

"Senior, I'm your little brother Kojiro, the new junior patrol officer in Team Zero. Don't you recognize me?"

To increase his persuasiveness, Jiang Chengbei temporarily spent 1 kill coin to purchase the "Recognize the Big Brother" skill that had appeared a long time ago, and continued:

"Kazami-senpai, I have a cold. Can't you hear how nasal my voice is?"

"Kojiro? Then why are you wearing sunglasses indoors?"

"Kazami-senpai, I have conjunctivitis. I'm afraid of light. If I'm exposed to light, I'll die. Didn't you know that?"

"Really? While your explanation is reasonable, do we even have someone like you in our Group Zero? I don't recall you at all."

"Kazami-senpai, you must have a bad memory. If I weren't part of Team Zero, would I dare to openly strike up a conversation with you like this?"

"If you don't believe me, let's go to Mr. Furuya, the leader of our Zero Group, and see if I'm really the newly recruited patrol chief of our Public Security Zero Group!"

"Okay, let's go find Mr. Furuya now. Anyway, I don't remember you at all."

After saying that, Kazami Yu walked a few steps with Jiang Chengbei and came to Amuro Tooru, who was directing everyone while personally conducting the search.

"Mr. Furuya, this person is said to be a new member of our Zero Team. Do you know him? I don't recognize him at all."

Hearing Kazami Yuya's words, Amuro Tooru stopped what he was doing, then looked at Jiang Chengbei with a blank expression, not remembering the person, and ordered:

"Take off your sunglasses, remove your mask, and let me see your face."

“Mr. Furuya, I have a cold and conjunctivitis, so I can’t stand the light. But I’m really a new member of our Public Security Team Zero. You have to believe me.”

Hearing Jiang Chengbei's heavily nasal voice, Amuro Tooru frowned: "Who are you? What's your name?"

"Brother Bourbon, have you forgotten? I'm your little brother, Tennessee Whiskey. We used to kill and burn together at the distillery, living a carefree life. But I never expected you to be an undercover police officer. Amazing!"

Before Jiang Chengbei could finish speaking, Amuro Tooru, realizing something was wrong after uttering the word "Bourbon," swiftly drew his pistol, pointed it at Jiang Chengbei, and shouted, "Hands up!"

The Zero Group subordinates around him didn't understand why Jiang Chengbei called their leader "Brother Bourbon," nor did they understand why Mr. Furuya drew his gun after hearing Jiang Chengbei's words.

But following the leader's lead is always the right thing to do, so they all immediately drew their pistols and aimed them at Jiang Chengbei, then surrounded him in a fan shape.

Facing the dark muzzles of several Zero Group members, Jiang Chengbei didn't care. He waved the DV camera in his hand and continued to say with a smile:

"Brother Bourbon, I never imagined you were actually an undercover police officer! I'm so disappointed!"

However, after several years in the organization with you, I, Tennessee, have developed feelings for you. Considering we're both whiskey lovers and brothers, as long as you can show that your heart is with the organization, I won't tell anyone about what happened today. I'll keep it a secret for you.

The way to show your loyalty to the organization is for you to kill all the police officers around you right now, in front of me and under the camera. Once you kill them and show your loyalty, I will understand your current stance.

Otherwise, I'll tell that man about your betrayal of the organization and your role as a police undercover agent, and have Gin get rid of you, you rat."

After hearing Jiang Chengbei reveal some previously unknown information, Amuro Tooru was already certain that the masked man in front of him was a member of the organization. Although he had never seen or heard of the code name Tennessee Whiskey, he had gotten so much information right, so how could he not be an organization cadre?

After listening to Jiang Chengbei's nonsense, he pounced on him, wanting to capture him alive.

However, as soon as Amuro Tooru moved, Jiang Chengbei was enveloped in a cloud of smoke. His body was instantly surrounded by white smoke, and when Amuro Tooru rushed into the smoke, Jiang Chengbei was nowhere to be seen!

Just as Amuro Tooru was anxious that everyone had escaped and his true identity would be exposed, that annoying voice with a heavy nasal tone came from outside the smoke:

“Bourbon, I, Tennessee, was wrong about you. I’ll take today’s recording back and give it to that gentleman right away.”

"Just you wait, you sewer rat, Gin will come and kill you sooner or later!"

Hearing that the person was still there, Amuro Tooru was overjoyed and rushed out of the smoke, just in time to see Jiang Chengbei sitting on the windowsill waiting for him.

Then Jiang Chengbei made a shooting gesture to An Shi, pointing a finger to his temple, before finally jumping off the third floor.

"stop!"

Amuro Tooru roared and rushed over to the window, where he saw Jiang Chengbei waving at him from the street below.

Damn it, if this guy gets away, my identity will be exposed!

Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru didn't have time to chase Jiang Chengbei down the stairs step by step. He followed Jiang Chengbei's example, came out of the window, jumped to the second-floor balcony, and finally jumped to the ground.

Just then, Jiang Chengbei, who was showing off, hadn't left yet. Amuro Tooru immediately pounced on him and started fighting with this smug, self-proclaimed Tennessee whiskey executive whom he had never seen or heard of before.

Amuro Tooru's men dared not jump down from the third floor, so they turned around and took the stairs. They breathed a sigh of relief after they came out of Jiang Chengbei's house.

Fortunately, Mr. Furuya managed to entangle the masked man, and they managed to get there in time despite going around in circles.

Seeing that Mr. Furuya and the masked man were evenly matched, they rushed over to help, intending to outnumber the masked man and capture him alive.

Seeing that these people were only using their fists, Jiang Chengbei kicked Amuro Tooru away, immediately drew his pistol, aimed at the police kids rushing up, and fired several blank shots.

When the police saw Jiang Chengbei fire a shot in the street, they didn't know that Jiang Chengbei was using blanks; there were no bullets, only the sound of a gunshot and a muzzle flash.

So while dodging, lying down, and rolling around, they pulled out their pistols. Once they found cover, they raised their guns and started shooting at Jiang Chengbei.

Having acquired a bunch of kill coins and newly added skills from Amuro Tooru's police underlings, but still not seeing Amuro Tooru's kill coins and skills, Jiang Chengbei couldn't bear it any longer. He pulled out a grenade and threw it forward.

A grenade flew over the police officers' heads and landed inside their own shop. Then, two or three police officers who were hiding inside jumped out while shouting "Grenade!"

With a loud bang, Jiang Chengbei blew up his own fruit shop.

That way, when I get back, I can demand compensation from Amuro Tooru.

After throwing the grenades, Jiang Chengbei only received 1 kill coin from Amuro Tooru and a dense array of newly added Amuro Tooru skills. Seeing that he was still 1 kill coin short, he continued throwing grenades, blowing up his own fruit shop and the Mori Detective Agency on the second floor next door.

Anyway, the grenade was thrown in a direction far away from Amuro Tooru, so it wouldn't blow up Amuro Tooru.

After throwing a few grenades, Jiang Chengbei finally felt his life was in danger. He nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding the bullets fired from Amuro Toru's gun.

At this point, Jiang Chengbei had finally collected all the killing coins and skills from Amuro Tooru and the Zero Group members under Amuro Tooru's command.

Now that he had all the kill coins and skills, Jiang Chengbei threw dozens of grenades at Amuro Tooru and his men, stunning them all before finally finding a chance to leave.

Half an hour later, when Amuro Tooru and his wounded and maimed subordinates appeared at the hospital, Jiang Chengbei also appeared in downtown Nagoya.

This time he got into another fight with the locals, and this time he didn't escape. He ended up at the nearby trade office, where he was given a good talking-to by the hat-wearing uncle.

While Jiang Chengbei was paying fines, medical bills, and writing an apology letter expressing his remorse, Amuro Tooru and his one-eyed boss were suffering from headaches in the hospital.

Amuro Tooru is really having a headache, both physically and mentally.

Under the chaotic explosion of the last few dozen grenades, Amuro Tooru did not escape either. His fate was similar to that of Gin and Vodka. He was also injured, especially the piece of shrapnel in his head. He was just a hair's breadth away from death. Otherwise, Amuro Tooru would have been going to meet the King of Hell. He would not be so lucky to be lying in the hospital with a headache.

"You mean a Tennessee organization executive suddenly appeared in the organization, and this just happened to happen to coincide with you leading the Zero Team on a mission?"

They even filmed your actions and chatted with you for a long time, extracting a lot of information from you. Was all of this recorded?

Facing his one-eyed boss with a sour expression, Amuro Tooru stared at the ceiling with utter despair.

"Yes, we originally wanted to capture him alive, but he was carrying a gun and a lot of grenades. He killed and wounded many of our brothers. I must capture him! I want revenge! Ah..."

"Furuya, calm down, don't get agitated, or your head wound will reopen!"

"Furuya, now that your identity has been exposed, it's time to withdraw. Come back to the unit; your rank should be promoted."

"Come back? Rejoin the team? What about the brothers who died today?... I hate it..."

So many people have died again this time. Do you think I'm really cursed? Every time I become a police officer, I end up killing my colleagues?

Chapter 168 Amuro Tooru: I solved the case, the mastermind behind it all is Jiang Chengbei

Having just finished dealing with a bomb on the train with Conan and saving everyone on board, Kogoro Mouri was completely stunned when he heard that his hometown had been blown up by a grenade.

Hearing that the fruit shop in Jiangcheng North and the Mouri Detective Agency had been bombed, Conan was finally able to stand tall, raise his head, and say:

"Uncle, Xiaolan, they've pointed out a lot of my problems. I'm not the Grim Reaper, not a jinx, and not a plague god."

"Look, even though I wasn't there, the fruit shop and the office still got bombed, didn't they?"

Duang~~~

"Idiot, who told you to call her Xiaolan? You should call her Sister Xiaolan."

After punching Conan, Kogoro Mouri finally began to refute his words:

"Conan, stop making excuses. The bomb on our train was brought by you, you jinx. I don't need to prove that anymore."
