After the game started, the kids were very excited and kept making noise. Jiang Chengbei, on the other hand, wasn't interested. He watched the game casually and often looked around. After all, there were many things on the court that were much more interesting than the sight of 22 grown men circling a ball.
Finally, a strange gust of wind blew, knocking Conan's hat off and onto the lawn.
Seeing the hat fall to the ground, Conan, who is always frugal, immediately jumped down from the high stands to retrieve it.
Upon seeing this scene, which seemed familiar yet somewhat different, Jiang Chengbei immediately became alert. Wearing chakra sunglasses with advanced technology, he scanned the surroundings at full speed, not missing a single suspicious person or detail.
He accompanied Miyano Akemi to watch a boring ball game, and he went to all the trouble of bringing Conan, Ai Haibara, and the Teitan trio of idiots along, just so he could wait for a case to happen.
Jiang Chengbei was not disappointed today. Just as Conan picked up the hat, a soccer ball rolled to his side. Then, in the deafeningly noisy soccer field, a barely perceptible gunshot rang out. The soccer ball next to Conan immediately deflated and flew around wildly. At the same time, this sudden situation also caught Conan's attention and alertness.
While Conan found the bullet hole nearby and dug the bullet out of the hole in the grass, Jiang Chengbei had already found the suspect who fired the shot. He then told Miyano Akemi, stood up, and followed the guy who had fired the shot in the chaos.
Because he remembered there were two criminals, one of whom was a cameraman from Nichiuri TV who was monitoring the situation across the field with his camera, Jiang Chengbei noticed the camera positions on the sidelines in advance and avoided them when following the criminal who shot and destroyed the soccer ball.
Soon, Jiang Chengbei left the stands and entered the inner corridor below, where he caught up with the criminal who was about to throw the pistol into the trash can.
He had just finished a phone call with his accomplice, reporting that everything was normal, and had already hung up when Jiang Chengbei appeared just as he was about to throw the gun.
"Hey, was it you who fired the shot just now?"
Upon seeing Jiang Chengbei appear, the bandit immediately stopped throwing his gun, raised it, and pointed it at Jiang Chengbei: "Who are you?"
"Who I am doesn't matter, I'm going to call the police."
As Jiang Chengbei spoke, he took out his phone, preparing to call the police.
"Stop! Throw away your phone, or I'll shoot!"
"Whether you fire or not is none of my business, but if I see someone illegally possessing and firing a gun, I'm going to call the police."
"Stop it! If you keep holding that phone, I'll kill you!"
"I don't care if I live or die, you're going to be arrested and jailed... Hello, is this 110? I have someone here..."
Seeing that Jiang Chengbei seemed to have made a phone call, the criminal who had already fired a shot, using a concealed handgun that he couldn't take out and could only aim secretly, still managed to hit a football rolling in the distance, a target so small, showing that his marksmanship was quite good and that he was an experienced shooter who had practiced for some time, so he aimed at Jiang Chengbei, who was on the phone calling the police, and started firing "bang bang bang".
As soon as the criminals fired, they got two kills. Jiang Chengbei dodged the bullets and then, in front of the young man who was a decent shot but not as good as Gin and the others, he dodged the bullets and then pounced on his face, knocking him unconscious with a punch.
After that, they woke him up, subjected him to a barrage of punches and kicks, and tortured him until Jiang Chengbei got the location of his accomplices from him. Only then did they knock him unconscious and handcuff him to a pillar.
After emerging from below the stands and returning to them, Jiang Chengbei, with a clear objective, quickly located camera position 13. Approaching from behind, he waited until the photographer finished his extortion call before patting him on the shoulder:
"Hey bro, you're extorting Japan TV. I heard the phone call you just made."
I'm calling the police right now, so they can deal with you.
Startled, the photographer, who had kidnapped the entire stadium of fans, turned around and saw a dark-skinned stranger actually pull out a cell phone and prepare to press the call button to call the police. The photographer, who worked as a cameraman at Nichiuri TV, was completely stunned.
Am I just that unlucky? Every time I get into trouble, something unexpected happens?
Last year, I tried to rob a bank, and finally chose an auspicious day. However, the day of the robbery clashed with the day that Nichiri TV was broadcasting a program. The bank I wanted to rob was the same bank that Nichiri TV was broadcasting about, which completely ruined my bank robbery plan.
Because of the failed bank robbery last time, his girlfriend died of illness because she couldn't afford medical treatment. He was just about to get revenge on the meddlesome Nichiuri TV station today, but now his plans have been ruined again.
My girlfriend is dead, what's the point of living?
If he can't avenge his girlfriend, how can he let this troublesome person live?
Seeing that Jiang Chengbei was about to call the police, the photographer immediately pulled out a handgun from his pocket and pointed it at Jiang Chengbei.
"If you dare call the police, I'll shoot you dead!"
"Whether you shoot me or not is none of my business, I'm just going to call the police."
Seeing that Jiang Chengbei didn't stop and acted like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, the photographer criminal couldn't stand it anymore and fired directly at Jiang Chengbei, allowing Jiang Chengbei to once again demonstrate his extraordinary ability to dodge bullets.
After dodging the photographer's shot and obtaining two kill coins, Jiang Chengbei didn't let him fire recklessly. Instead, he punched the photographer unconscious, disarmed him, handcuffed him to the camera support pillar, and made him lie face down on the camera.
The match was in full swing, and the football field was noisy. The sound of the gunshot didn't travel far and was drowned out by the sea of cheering fans, attracting little attention.
In order to collect 4 kill coins, Jiang Chengbei added two new skills and subdued the two bandits. After subduing them, he irresponsibly left to go back and watch the game with Miyano Akemi.
But the Nichiuri TV station that received the extortion call, and the Metropolitan Police Department that received the report from the TV station, are now in a state of frantic anxiety and frantic activity.
Fortunately, the subdued thugs were not hidden by Jiang Chengbei. The first thug, who was handcuffed in the passageway inside the stands, was found by the police as soon as they arrived.
After finding the criminal and the handgun nearby, the Metropolitan Police Department was overjoyed. They were filled with gratitude for the anonymous person who had done a good deed and helped them subdue the thug.
Another clue came from Conan's meticulous deduction, especially from the Teitan trio who were gathered on the TV signal truck. They pointed out that the cameraman on broadcast number 13 hadn't moved at all and had been filming the same scene for a very long time. After their suggestion, Conan realized what had happened and, like a wise old man, gave a brilliant explanation. Only then did they find the cameraman on broadcast number 13 who had been knocked unconscious on the camera.
When the two thugs were found, they were still unconscious. Although many brain cells were lost and the two thugs were not found immediately, the nameless hero who subdued them did not stay to explain the situation. So Conan, who is known as the wise man after the event, had his turn to show his reasoning ability and explained the evidence that the two men were extortionists.
Seeing Conan speak with such confidence, the police officer and the staff of Yomiuri TV, who were listening to his deductions, all had beady eyes:
The pistol and other evidence were right next to the two criminals. We all know without a doubt that they are the criminals in this case. What kind of reasoning is this, you little brat!
Before you spoke, we were expecting you to say they weren't criminals, but were framed after being knocked unconscious, and that you could provide evidence, reasons, and a different truth.
So what you're saying is exactly what we were thinking. What are you talking about? Do we need to listen to you?
Because Conan didn't deliver the plot twist they were hoping for, nor did they find out who helped them catch the culprit, the Metropolitan Police Department returned in low spirits. The case was too easy; it was boring.
After the police left and Conan met up with Jiang Chengbei, he asked, "Jiang Cheng, did you catch those two thugs?"
Not receiving a reply from Jiang Chengbei, but after being punched by him, Conan raised his little fist and said angrily:
"Jiang Cheng, I've kept this a secret from the police and TV station staff, why did you hit me?"
You'd better be more polite to me in the future, otherwise your identity as a police officer will eventually become public knowledge, just like Amuro Tooru's!
"But you're really something else. You disguised yourself so well. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have guessed you were a police officer. Unlike Amuro Tooru, whose disguise is completely unprofessional."
Chapter 221 Conan, take the money and go kill Nikaido!
The gimmick of "Sleeping Kogoro Mouri" cannot be used to solve cases continuously, so after Kogoro Mouri became famous for a period of time, the hype died down and he has now become relatively unknown again.
Without fame, Kogoro Mouri couldn't get any cases and couldn't make any money. He spent all the treasure money he received and this month's rent, and he couldn't even afford to drink sake anymore. He was very frustrated.
Kogoro Mori complained to Jiang Chengbei and others many times about not having any business, not having any money at home, and being short of cash. He wanted Jiang Chengbei to take him to find treasure a few more times, and he was willing to be Jiang Chengbei's lackey for it.
Considering that the Mouri Detective Agency was really not doing much business these days, with no murderers coming to them on their own, Jiang Chengbei took Conan to sit down at the Mouri Detective Agency on the second floor next door.
As soon as Jiang Chengbei and Conan, these two jinxes with the aura of death, sat down at the Mouri Detective Agency, something amazing happened. Before they could even get comfortable, business actually came knocking.
However, the person who came had a bad temper. She didn't knock, but kicked the door open and walked in aggressively in her high heels.
Seeing how arrogant she was and how imposing she was, Kogoro Mouri almost thought she had come to collect a debt. But when she took out a few photos from her bag and threw them in Kogoro's face, telling him to find the cat in the photos, Kogoro realized that this pretty girl had come to him to find her cat.
Although the girl in front of him was beautiful, stylishly dressed, and covered in collectibles, her temper was terrible and she was incredibly rude. Kogoro Mouri immediately stood up and righteously refused her:
"Excuse me, but I am the famous detective Kogoro Mouri. How could I be the kind of third-rate detective who helps people find their cats and dogs?"
If your cat is missing, don't come to me with such a small case. A famous detective like me is very busy and doesn't have time to help you find your cats and dogs.
Now, please leave and close the door. Thank you.
Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, the sophisticated urban woman, who was just taking a check out of her bag, immediately frowned, glared, and slammed her hand on the table in anger.
"How dare you talk like that, you stupid detective?"
"You must immediately submit to me, become my servant, and beg for my forgiveness, or your detective agency is closed, and I'll have my father kill you!"
Hearing what this beautiful woman, who was unfortunately short of a mouth, said, Kogoro Mouri was furious. But when he saw the check she slammed on the table, his anger vanished, and he smiled ingratiatingly, saying:
"Beautiful lady, is that check in your hand a reward for helping me find my kitten?"
"Hehe, you silly detective, you've got your eye on the check in my hand?"
I originally planned to use this money to pay for helping me find Xiaoxi, but what you just said angered me, so I don't want you, you idiot detective, to help me find Xiaoxi anymore.
After saying that, she turned her head and saw a guy next to her who was watching the show and looked somewhat familiar.
I'd seen this little boy in the blue suit on TV a while back, especially the news about him messing with the police, causing chaos at the Metropolitan Police Department, and people dying every day.
So, she slapped the check on Conan's head and said condescendingly:
"Kid, hurry up and find my cat. As long as you find my Xiaoxi, this money is yours."
Seeing such a large sum of money fall into Conan's lap, Kogoro Mouri immediately panicked and rushed over, bowing and scraping, ready to beg for a pittance.
“Beautiful lady, I’m actually much more capable than this brat. I’d be happy to help you…”
"Then call me master, and from now on be my faithful servant."
"Forehead……"
To land a big job finding a lost cat, Kogoro Mouri would be willing to humble himself and bow and scrape to the person. But to become someone's servant for a large sum of money was something he wasn't desperate for. So his smile froze, and he stood there, unsure of what to do.
Seeing that Kogoro Mouri remained silent, and having lost interest in the disheveled middle-aged man, she pulled a business card from her bag and slapped it on Conan's forehead:
"You must be the elementary school detective Conan, right? I've already given you the reward. You have to find my Xiaoxi before sunset. If you can't do it, I'll get my dad to come and cause you trouble."
If you find it, please return my Xiaoxi. The address is on the business card.
After saying that, without waiting for Conan's reply, he left a check and a business card and left with an imposing aura.
"Who is this arrogant woman?"
After the woman left, Kogoro Mouri quickly picked up the cash check that he had slapped on Conan's forehead and then dropped to the ground. He then counted the zeros after the 1 with his fingers, drooling and laughing foolishly.
Compared to Kogoro Mouri, who was dazzled by the checks, Conan immediately picked up the business card that had been slapped on his forehead earlier and started looking at it:
"Yoi Group, Yosui Reika..."
Conan was still thinking that this woman had just thrown down money, a business card, and a photo and left. Wasn't she afraid that she would just take the money and not do anything?
Thinking of this, Conan glanced at Jiang Chengbei, who was watching the show from the side, and at Kogoro Mouri, whose eyes were only on the check.
In the end, no matter what Conan thought, he was kicked out and then escorted by the Teitan trio who had arrived after receiving the news, taking the photos and starting to look for Yotsuki Reika's lost pet cat.
As for the check left by Yotsuki Reika, it naturally went to Kogoro Mouri and Kojo Kita.
What do children need money for? If they have money, they should give it to adults to save for decades until they grow up and get married.
Under the supervision of the Teitan trio, Conan used his intelligence to finally help Yotsubi Reika find her lost pet cat. Then, at the behest of Jiang Chengbei and Mouri Kogoro, Conan once again became an errand boy, delivering the cat back to its owner by himself.
Conan thought he was taking the cat back alone, but Jiang Chengbei, who had some recollection of the name "Yijing Group," was actually disguised as a little chubby bird and accompanied Conan in the sky to deliver the cat.
Before Conan handed the kitten to Yotsuba Reika, nothing special happened; it was all just ordinary, mundane stuff. But after Conan handed the kitten to Yotsuba Reika, and Yotsuba Reika had a servant take the kitten and leave, leaving only the two of them in the room, something different happened.
While Jiang Chengbei was monitoring Conan and Yotsuba in his chubby chick form, he saw Yotsuba take out a check for an even larger sum of money than before when she was looking for the cat, along with a photograph. She slapped Conan on the forehead and then, in a condescending tone, gave him orders:
"Conan, I know about your past tricks on the police and your killings everywhere."
Now, go and kill Yuuji Nikaido in the photo, and I won't treat you unfairly.
