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

Page 165

After a while, Jiang Chengbei and Ai Haibara saw a gardener carrying Conan and then herding the Teitan Three Idiots out.

As soon as he came out, he criticized Jiang Chengbei and his group without any politeness, saying that it was despicable for them to let a few children climb over the wall and trespass on private property.

Just as Jiang Chengbei was explaining their current behavior to the gardener, a black car pulled up to the gate and stopped. A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties got out of the driver's seat.

After some explanation, Jiang Chengbei and the others learned that the person who got out of the car was named Mitsuru Mamiya, and that he was the son-in-law of this large, blue-roofed castle.

Upon learning that Jiang Chengbei and his family's car had broken down and they were unable to return home, and that it was getting late and they had nowhere to rest, they warmly invited them to come in as guests.

Upon seeing the blue roof of the house, Jiang Chengbei had a vague sense of familiarity. Finally, he arrived at the back garden and saw a huge chessboard, with the rooms carved into chess pieces, forming an unfinished game. At the same time, Gong Man told Jiang Chengbei that a huge treasure left by the old owner who built the castle was hidden in this castle. As long as the unfinished game was solved, the treasure could be found. After that, Jiang Chengbei suddenly remembered what this plot was about—it turned out to be his childhood nightmare!

Chapter 227 A New Life - Transmigration Card

Upon arriving at the blue castle of the Mamiya family, Jiang Chengbei and his companions met Mamiya Man, the son-in-law of the Mamiya family; Mamiya Noble, a third-generation descendant of the Mamiya family who had returned from studying abroad in Daiyin; and Mamiya Masakiyo, the matriarch of the Mamiya family.

Masaki Mamiya, who came out in a wheelchair and had difficulty walking, was the same terrifying-looking "old woman" who, like Tsugawa Hideji, the librarian of Beika Library, left a childhood trauma on Eishonaki.

When Jiang Chengbei first met the old woman, he placed a chakra transmitter on her and then pretended to solve the backyard chessboard riddle with the Junior Detective League.

It's thanks to Conan's current reputation in Japan that even without Professor Agasa, the self-proclaimed inventor and clever man, Mamiya Mitsuru, who is determined to find the treasure, still told Conan without reservation that his family has a treasure left by the previous head of the family that he can't find, and asked him to solve the mystery.

If he can solve the mystery and find the treasure, Mamiya promised to reward him handsomely—buying Conan and his friends lots and lots of toys and delicious food.

Faced with the benefits promised by Mamiya Mitsuru, and for the sake of those toys and delicious food, the Teitan trio became incredibly enthusiastic and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to solving the puzzle.

Children are easily swayed by trivial little things and devote all their energy to them. But Conan is different. He doesn't need those little things that children like. As long as there is a difficult and challenging puzzle, even if there is no benefit to it and he helps for free, he will run up to solve the puzzle happily. He only needs the fun in the process of solving the puzzle.

After accepting the task from Mamiya Mitsuru to help them solve the puzzle, Jiang Chengbei and his group separated from the Mamiya family and wandered around the vast Mamiya residence on their own, searching for a way to solve the puzzle.

The chess puzzle in the backyard is a bit difficult. After all, it's a mystery that the Mamiya family hasn't been able to solve for decades. Even the famous detective Conan would need some time to think about it. Now that he's just seen it, there's not a single clue.

Still unsure how to solve the puzzle, Conan and Jiang Chengbei went to a room on the second floor of the castle that faced the chessboard in the back garden. From this vantage point, they had a clear view of the chessboard below and, after grasping the overall situation, began to think about how to solve the puzzle.

The less skilled they are, the more they love to play. The Teitan trio of idiots in this world haven't been trained by Professor Agasa's simple puzzles yet, but they are still fascinated by this puzzle that even Conan can't solve right away. They lean on the railing, chattering away and confidently fantasizing that they will soon be able to solve the puzzle and find the treasure here.

Before long, the Teitan trio's thoughts began to wander, and the topic veered off course. Eventually, they became interested in the wall clock in the room. While turning the hands, they accidentally triggered a mechanism that caused Conan, who was leaning against the wall in the distance, to fall into the tunnel behind the wall while concentrating on a puzzle.

The mechanism was only activated briefly, and then immediately shut off after Conan fell in. So, apart from Jiang Chengbei, who had been keeping an eye on things, none of the other four children noticed that Conan had fallen into the secret passage and disappeared.

After a while, when they realized that Conan seemed to be missing, they started to panic. So, under Jiang Chengbei's persuasion, they started running around everywhere, searching for the lost Conan.

As for Jiang Chengbei, after the four little guys left, he saw through his chakra tracking glasses that the old woman Mamiya Masuyo, who had initially pretended to be inconvenient, was now moving quickly through the castle and approaching Conan's light. So Jiang Chengbei also followed the method of the Teitan trio in opening the secret passage door, opened the door, entered the secret passage, and flew towards Mamiya Masuyo.

After Conan was hit on the head with a stick, leaving him covered in blood and knocked unconscious, Masakiyo Mamiya ran into another person who had come to find Conan, Jiang Chengbei, who, like Conan, had discovered the real Masakiyo Mamiya skeleton.

It turns out that Mamiya Masuyo was actually the maid Mutsumi Nishikawa in disguise. The real Madam Mamiya Masuyo had been locked in a secret passage and starved to death long ago. The skeleton Conan found earlier was her.

Meanwhile, Masaki Masaki's daughter, who was also Masaki Mitsuru's wife and Masaki Noble's mother, along with some of the old servants around her, were burned to death in a nearby house a few years ago.

Because Mamiya Mitsuru was the second son-in-law and was unfamiliar with Mamiya Masuyo, as was Mamiya Noble, who had previously lived in the underworld, the two of them escaped Nishikawa Mutsumi's clutches and lived into the present day.

In order to obtain the treasure left by the previous head of the family, the original servant, Nishikawa Mutsumi, killed several people and underwent plastic surgery to transform herself into an old woman. She then replaced Mamiya Masuyo and lived in the castle, searching for the treasure hidden there every day for several years.

Having experience in killing, including killing many people, she immediately decided to kill Jiang Chengbei after discovering him foolishly trapped in the secret passage and finding the true remains of Masaki Masaki.

Because Jiang Chengbei was a good actress, she didn't need to lift a finger. After Jiang Chengbei caught up with her, she was groping around in the secret passage when she bumped into the wall and fell to the ground, giving Nishikawa Mutsumi, who was secretly following behind, the perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Nishikawa Mutsumi did not waste the opportunity given to her by Jiang Chengbei, and took a sharp knife and slashed at Jiang Chengbei's neck from behind.

After obtaining the kill token and dodging Nishikawa Mutsumi's dagger, Jiang Chengbei turned around and fired a burst of bullets, emptying the magazine and causing Nishikawa Mutsumi, who had been shot in all four limbs, to fall to the ground. The pain from her limbs made her realize that she couldn't move her hands and feet, and that her limbs were probably crippled.

This was a brutal woman who starved one of her employers to death, burned another employer and several colleagues alive. After Jiang Chengbei subdued her with a burst of bullets, he called the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Officer Kazami Yuya and handed the case over to him.

After Kazami Yuya arrived with his Metropolitan Police Department subordinates, his face dark, Jiang Chengbei recounted the brutal things this woman had done, including her assault on a police officer. He explained that in a critical moment, he managed to subdue her by striking her limbs in a dark secret passage.

Mutsumi Nishikawa was taken away by an ambulance called by the police, but Mitsuru Mamiya and Takato Mamiya knew what she had done. While they hated Mutsumi Nishikawa, they were also filled with fear.

The treasure left by their elders, besides giving them a beautiful fantasy, unexpectedly turned out to be a death warrant, filling their hearts with inner turmoil.

Conan, whose head was smashed and who had lost a lot of blood, was taken away in an ambulance. Jiang Chengbei and the remaining four children also went back in a police car. So the treasure left by the previous Mamiya family was never revealed and was left to the anxious Mamiya Mitsuru and Mamiya Noble.

Mitsuru Mamiya and Norito Mamiya are father and son in name, but they are not related by blood. They are just stepfather and stepson of a deceased mother and wife. Now, only these two are left in the Mamiya family. Especially after they just learned about Mutsumi Nishikawa's clean and swift killing of their Mamiya family members, their eyes turned sour as they looked at each other.

That damned treasure! They could have just revealed it openly. Why leave behind a source of trouble? It's making the two Mamiya family members, who are wary of each other, feel so awkward. They can't bear to give it up, but they can't find it either. At the same time, they know that the other is very interested in the treasure and has been searching for it for several years, just like Nishikawa Mutsumi. Everyone's sunk costs are huge.

These past two days have been alright, with police officers staying here to investigate the Nishikawa Mutsumi murder case. It's unlikely that the perpetrator will do anything too outrageous. But once the police leave, with Nishikawa Mutsumi as an example, they're very worried about their future safety.

Because of Jiang Chengbei's intrusion, the treasure that was left behind was actually found by climbing up a secret passage to the pavilion, where the most beautiful scenery could be seen. This mystery was not solved, and the mystery of the treasure continued to hang over the Mamiya family like a curse.

The mystery of the treasure remains unsolved, but at least the Mamiya family has something to look forward to, and even Mutsumi Nishikawa, whose limbs were broken and who was arrested by the Public Security Bureau, has something to hope for. If they were to find out that the treasure is just a worthless landscape, it would be such a devastating blow to them.

Jiang Chengbei wasn't as cruel as Conan, so he didn't destroy the beautiful idea in their minds, allowing them to immerse themselves in the belief that as long as they searched hard, they would eventually find the treasure left by their ancestors.

The reason for being so kind to Nishikawa Mutsumi is mainly because she gave Jiang Chengbei a good reward, and we need to repay her so that she won't live in despair for the rest of her life.

After sending her to the police station, Jiang Chengbei not only gained 2 kill coins and one chance to transform into Gomera from her, but also added a new item to his Science Shop: a new life - a time-travel card.

After spending 10 Kill Coins to buy one and storing it, the price of the next Time Travel Card became 20 Kill Coins. Seeing that he still had 25 Kill Coins left after buying one Time Travel Card, Jiang Chengbei spent another 20 Kill Coins to buy another one. Then, the price of the new Time Travel Card in the Ke Xue Shop became 40 Kill Coins each.

Jiang Chengbei, who only has 5 Kill Coins left, can't afford to buy any more. He can only continue to save Kill Coins and take his time later.

Meanwhile, the new life - the time travel card is one-way. If you use it now, you can travel to a new world and start a new life. You can't return to the Conan world. So Jiang Chengbei didn't use it. He will wait until he gets tired of the Conan world before wandering to the new world. At the same time, he can accumulate more time travel cards.

On the way back in the police car, Kazami Yuya was very unwilling about Jiang Chengbei suddenly becoming a police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, with a higher position than him, and that he, a police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, would be led by Jiang Chengbei.

Especially now, during this turbulent time, it seems that several air force bases have been attacked by terrorists. Their public security bureau has also received a mission, and the entire staff has entered into a state of panic, aimless, and headless investigation.

During this special period, being asked to do this kind of thing by Jiang Chengbei, a superior who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, especially since it was this annoying guy, made him feel rather uncomfortable.

After returning to downtown Tokyo, Jiang Chengbei and his group didn't go to the Metropolitan Police Department or the hospital; they just stopped somewhere random.

Because Conan possesses extraordinary regenerative abilities, after his wounds were bandaged in the ambulance, he felt fine and got off the vehicle with Jiang Chengbei and the others.

Kazami Yuya was available whenever needed, and Jiang Chengbei needed Kazami Yuya's help to repair and return his broken-down car. So when Jiang Chengbei got off the car, he politely asked Kazami Yuya to come to dinner.

After glancing at Conan, who was still on the police investigation list, and wondering why Jiang Chengbei had suddenly become a police officer, Kazami Yuya realized there were too many mysteries to solve. Considering the need to share the burden with his beloved superior, Mr. Furuya, Kazami Yuya agreed to Jiang Chengbei's invitation after a moment's thought, planning to gather some information during the meal if he had the chance.

Kazami Yuya agreed so readily that Jiang Chengbei was taken aback for a moment. He then asked Ai what she wanted to eat, saying that it was his treat today and she could eat whatever she wanted.

Ai is someone who doesn't want to cause trouble. Seeing that Kazami Yuya, a police officer with ill intentions, was also going to eat with them, she casually pointed and chose the curry noodle restaurant next door.

Upon seeing the curry, Jiang Chengbei paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that in Detective Conan, whether it was Conan or anyone else, they all seemed to like curry, whether it was curry rice or curry noodles.

Every Japanese person has an Indian stomach; they are used to light food but still like strong-flavored curry, which shows their true love for India.

Upon entering the curry shop, Jiang Chengbei, amidst everyone's disdainful glances, opted for the mildest option, the least spicy, to try, while the others chose at least medium spicy, or even very spicy.

Seeing that even Conan, a kid with a head injury and bandages, had chosen the extra spicy option, Kazami Yuya, who was no less capable than anyone else in this life, wanted to show off, so he chose the most extreme spicy option, the insanely spicy one, as spicy as possible.

After everyone's curry noodles were served, they all picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Everyone chose what suited their taste, so they all enjoyed the meal, except for Kazami Yuya.

After taking the first bite, his face immediately changed color, turning as red as a monkey's bottom. At the same time, the two eyes next to him seemed to be emitting steam, and sweat instantly poured out of his head and kept flowing down.

Seeing Kazami Yuya put down his chopsticks and grab a glass of lemonade, Jiang Chengbei immediately spoke up:

"Kazami, this curry noodles are so delicious. If you drink lemon water, it will dilute the original flavor and make the delicious curry noodles lose their soul. Aren't you afraid of letting down the chef's dedication?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, the prideful Kazami Yuya immediately put down his lemonade, bowed to Jiang Chengbei, sincerely apologized, and then, as if going to his death, resolutely forced himself to start eating the terrifyingly spicy food in front of him.

Watching Kazami Yuya eat the extremely spicy food as if it were a life-or-death struggle, his expression twisted to the extreme, immediately attracted the attention of Jiang Chengbei and the others. Everyone stopped eating and admired the scene of Kazami Yuya fighting against the devil.

Chapter 228 The agave is gone, so this time it's Jiangcheng North's turn to be bombed.

Ever since taking the Teitan trio and Conan out for vacation and encountering cases to earn system rewards, Jiang Chengbei has replaced Professor Agasa as a free babysitter who is happy to take care of the kids.

This time, Conan and his friends were on vacation again, so the Teitan trio, acting as experience points, came to Jiang Chengbei's house and happily played games with the other two fake kids.

Jiang Chengbei and the juvenile detectives have a mutually beneficial relationship. They inadvertently provide Jiang Chengbei with cases, and Jiang Chengbei provides them with fun and delicious food.

Today, they got tired of playing their usual video games, and somehow they heard that the Mantendo Games Company was holding a new game launch and exhibition at the Beika Hotel. Upon hearing this news, the Teitan Three Idiots clamored for Jiang Chengbei, the ever-granting Aladdin's lamp, to take them there.

Since they had nothing better to do, and the Teitan trio, who could bring in cases, had made a request, Jiang Chengbei happily drove them to the Beika Hotel.

After arriving at the entire floor of the Teitan Hotel, which had been booked by the Teitan Theatre Group for a game exhibition, the three real kids immediately squeezed into the crowd and started playing the new games.

Conan, the fake elementary school student whose gaming skills are even worse than those of the real kids from Teitan, showed little interest in the games here, appearing rather uninterested.

He has no talent for video games; he can't even beat the three real kids from Teitan. He's really bad at it, and he doesn't enjoy playing games, so Conan doesn't like it.

Although he wasn't interested in the games here and was getting bored after a while, Conan suddenly perked up when he spotted Vodka in the crowd.

When Conan saw Vodka dressed in all black, Vodka and Jiang Chengbei also saw each other.

Upon seeing Jiang Chengbei, the god of death, Vodka, who was holding a black briefcase, suddenly shuddered, feeling a sense of foreboding that he was about to die.

Seeing Jiang Chengbei walking straight towards him, Vodka, terrified, nervously picked up his suitcase and held it in front of him: "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

Seeing the black briefcase in Vodka's hand, and looking around at the surroundings—this was the Full Paradise game exhibition—and remembering that he had accidentally killed Tequila a while ago, Jiang Chengbei immediately understood what the current situation was.

At the same time, Kogoro Mouri in this world is not as famous as in the original series, and he doesn't have as many cases that can be adapted into game cases, so he can't get game endorsements.

"Hey Vodka, what a coincidence! It's nice to see you here. Are you here to try out the new game from Paradise too?"

Jiang Chengbei patted Vodka on the shoulder, making him tremble three times. Realizing he couldn't escape today, he said in a trembling voice:

"No... um... yes, I'm here to try out the new game..."

"That's good. You can play games now. I'm relieved."

As you know, I'm a police officer, specifically responsible for arresting terrorists like you. If you weren't here to try out a game, but instead brought a bomb to carry out a terrorist attack, then I'd have no choice but to arrest you.

"No...no...I'm not a terrorist. Seeing you, I promise I'll obey the law and be a good citizen, Officer Jiangcheng, I promise..."

"By the way, I remember when we parted last time, I told you that I received a mission from my superior to join your organization as an undercover agent. What's your older brother Gin thinking about it? Could you give me a code name like 'cadre'?"

"Welcome...no...my older brother doesn't have that authority..." Faced with Jiang Chengbei's question, Vodka broke out in a cold sweat in embarrassment.

Gin hates undercover agents the most, and you still come to his door as an undercover agent, asking Gin for a formal position. Isn't this a slap in Gin's face?

Jiang Chengbei: "Hey, Vodka, why are you so nervous today?"

Vodka: It's all because I saw you.

"You're so nervous because I've caught you doing something illegal?"

"No, absolutely not..."

"Wait a minute, I've never seen you carry a briefcase before, but today you're carrying a box with the Mantian (Full Heaven) logo, just like other Mantian programmers. Something's not right!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chengbei placed his hand on the box that Vodka was holding in his arms and continued:

"You're so nervous about this box, you wouldn't have planted a bomb inside and are planning to blow this place up as a terrorist attack, would you?"
