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

Page 158

With Conan absent, even with the help of Jiang Chengbei and Kogoro Mouri, two third-rate detectives, they couldn't find Tachibana Maya's address in Tokyo, since the address on her driver's license was in another city.

Hmm? Speaking of her driver's license, Jiang Chengbei took it again and examined it carefully, comparing it with his own real driver's license:

This thing is a fake, just made quite well. I, being a foreigner, wasn't familiar with Japanese documents and didn't notice it.

Since the driver's license is fake, then the name and other details are likely fake as well, making it even more difficult to find her information.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Chengbei tried Kogoro Mouri's unreliable methods and wandered aimlessly on the road. He really couldn't figure out how to find Tachibana Maya's memories, nor could he find any information about her. Jiang Chengbei was very troubled.

However, when Jiang Chengbei saw the police patrolling the road, he suddenly had the idea of ​​trying anything, so he avoided Kogoro Mouri and made a phone call to headquarters to ask his colleagues for help.

Then, after having his colleague search for information about Tachibana Maya in the files, Jiang Chengbei obtained some information about the assassin Tachibana Maya.

To Jiang Chengbei's surprise, Tachibana Maya really was her real name. She was using her real name to work as an assassin. However, the Japanese police were somewhat incompetent and their household registration system was malfunctioning. Even though the public security bureau knew that Tachibana Maya was an assassin, the police still couldn't catch her when they got to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Since the Public Security Bureau had some information on Tachibana Maya, Jiang Chengbei, who had successfully infiltrated the police department and was now a police officer, unceremoniously asked them to send someone to deliver a copy of Tachibana Maya's information.

Tachibana Maya wasn't some kind of formidable assassin, and her information wasn't classified at all, so Jiang Chengbei obtained her information through some contact.

After sending away the police who came to deliver the documents, Jiang Chengbei took a half-body photo of himself with a Polaroid camera. Then he made a murder commission with Jiang Chengbei as the target and put it into the Tachibana Maya file folder after some careful selection.

Finally, Jiang Chengbei used his chakra to transform his appearance, luring away Kogoro Mouri, and then transformed back into the fugitive Yuda from the TV show, handing the file folder in his hand to Maya Tachibana.

After reviewing her own information and the assigned tasks, Tachibana Maya felt a headache coming on. She took out the necklace hanging around her neck, pulled out the wire on the necklace and tested it. Finally, she confirmed the three major life questions: Who am I? Where did I come from? What am I supposed to do?

However, her memory only goes back to when she received a murder mission, but she didn't know who she was going to kill. She needed to go to a coffee shop in Beika Town to confirm the target and accept the commission.

This time, the person who hired me to kill came to my door in person to deliver the information. This is a bit unusual compared to the usual method of not meeting in person, but simply leaving the target's information and the key to the bank safe deposit box where the commission money is kept at the coffee shop, and avoiding direct contact to prevent revealing my identity.

As a hitman who kills for money, if you want Tachibana Maya to kill someone, you have to pay her first.

There are plenty of people in the north of Qianjiang City, but when he was about to take out his money to hire someone to kill him, he received a system notification that if he paid to kill himself, the system would not reward him with kill coins or add the killer's skills.

Upon seeing this message, Jiang Chengbei had no choice but to silently put the money away, hand over the documents, and turn to leave.

Jiang Chengbei felt that his plan to trick Tachibana Maya into killing him had failed, and in the end he could only return as a little chubby bird to monitor Tachibana Maya and see what she would do next.

To Jiang Chengbei's surprise, after reading the information Jiang Chengbei gave her and regaining her memories, Tachibana Maya immediately burned the information and then headed towards a specific target.

While following Tachibana Maya, Jiang Chengbei saw through the chakra sunglasses that Kogoro Mouri's signal point and Yuda's signal point were slowly approaching each other. They would soon reunite somewhere. Jiang Chengbei immediately flew to their location.

What happened next was simple. Fortunately, Jiang Chengbei arrived in time. He pushed aside Kogoro Mouri, who was walking in a straight line, and saved Kogoro Mouri's life once again, allowing him to escape the fate of being crushed to death by falling objects from above.

Chapter 218 Xiaolan: Jiang Cheng, you're so impetuous! Why didn't you knock before coming in?

After witnessing Jiang Chengbei save Kogoro Mouri once again and ruin his plans, the fugitive Yuda finally developed murderous intent towards the young man beside Kogoro Mouri, thus making up for the missing 1 kill coin, which greatly improved Jiang Chengbei's mood.

Since this person had confessed to both of his crimes, Jiang Chengbei didn't hold back and chased after him at a speed far exceeding that of Kogoro Mouri.

After shaking off Kogoro Mouri, who had been drained by alcohol and women, Jiang Chengbei, with the help of the chakra transmitter, quickly caught him, removed his disguise, and handcuffed him.

Because Yuta had killed someone, after escaping from prison, instead of thinking about going far away and starting over with a new identity, he was determined to kill Kogoro Mouri, who had imprisoned him.

So when he saw that the hitman he had hired wasn't doing anything, he couldn't even wait a few days to find another hitman and hurriedly took matters into his own hands.

After sending the fugitive Tang Tian to the police station, Jiang Chengbei got another chance to transform.

Next up was the assassin, Tachibana Maya. After Jiang Chengbei sent Yuda to the police station, with the help of the Chakra Eyes, he found Tachibana Maya, who had already been to the coffee shop transfer station.

She now knows that her target for this mission is Kogoro Mouri, but before that, she received a mission to kill Kogoro Mouri's ally, Eisho Kita. This is a bit strange, but she still decided to accept it. Killing one or two makes no difference.

She didn't know where Kogoro Mouri was, but she quickly ran into Jiang Chengbei, who was by Kogoro Mouri's side.

Having delivered its prey to its doorstep, Tachibana Maya quickly decided to make her move.

Taking advantage of the woman who had lost her memory, Tachibana Maya quickly lured Jiang Chengbei to a secluded, abandoned building. Then, she secretly took out a steel wire and attacked Jiang Chengbei from behind, intending to strangle him to death.

Upon seeing the system reward of 2 kill coins, Jiang Chengbei dodged the steel wire that Tachibana Maya was about to put around his neck, then pulled out a pistol and pressed it against her not-so-large chest.

As a killer who has committed murder, Tachibana Maya is worth one transformation opportunity, so Jiang Chengbei, following the old practice, sent her to the police station and gained one transformation opportunity.

Today's events resulted in the arrest of two murderers and granted Jiang Chengbei two more transformation opportunities, bringing his total to 14 transformation opportunities.

At the same time, he made the two prisoners want to kill him and provided them with the conditions to carry out their actions. Jiang Chengbei obtained a total of 4 kill coins.

One kill coin was used to purchase a level 1 mercenary rental right, and then another 10 kill coins were spent to purchase Tachibana Maya's item, the Mind Steel Wire.

This telekinetic steel wire is 10 meters long when stretched out, and the key is that it can be controlled at will, just like one's own hand, so Jiang Chengbei bought it without hesitation.

After gaining 4 kill coins and spending 11 kill coins, Jiang Chengbei now has 37 kill coins left.

By using Kogoro Mouri as bait, directly or indirectly, Jiang Chengbei obtained these gains and also earned the sincere gratitude of the Mouri father and daughter. After all, Jiang Chengbei had saved Kogoro Mouri twice that day and captured the fugitive Yuda and the assassin Tachibana Maya, who wanted to kill him, thus eliminating their worries.

When the Mori father and daughter treated Jiang Chengbei's family to dinner as a way of thanking Jiang Chengbei for saving their lives, Jiang Chengbei overheard that Xiaolan was going to go on vacation to Sonoko's villa in Gunma Prefecture that weekend.

At first, Jiang Chengbei didn't care much about Xiaolan and Yuanzi going to the villa for a vacation, but when he heard Xiaolan say that it was a class reunion of the university film club organized by Yuanzi's sister, he immediately took it to heart.

He didn't have much of an impression of the case that had just happened, where Yuda and Tachibana Maya chased after Kogoro Mouri, but he clearly remembered a bandaged weirdo who looked back on a suspension bridge at the film club gathering that Sonoko-nee held in the wilderness.

Jiang Chengbei insisted on going to collect the two kill coins from the bandaged monster who haunted his childhood, and immediately proposed that he also wanted to go, and was determined to go, no matter what.

Faced with Jiang Chengbei's presumptuous request, Xiaolan first subtly reminded him that their gathering was hosted by Sister Yuanzi, and that all the attendees were Sister Yuanzi's classmates, whom she did not know, and that she had only been invited by Yuanzi.

As soon as Jiang Chengbei suggested going to a party in Gunma Prefecture with Ran, Conan exploded, glaring angrily at Jiang Chengbei and repeatedly reminding Miyano Akemi to come out and stop Jiang Chengbei's inappropriate thoughts.

Despite Conan's efforts, Jiang Chengbei, who acted on his impulses, immediately called Sonoko. After exchanging a few polite words, he suggested that he also visit Sonoko's villa in the Gunma Mountains that weekend.

Jiang Chengbei wanted to come with Xiaolan, and Yuanzi readily agreed without much thought. She also told Jiang Chengbei and Xiaolan to come early on the weekend and that she would make sure they had a great time.

Seeing that Jiang Chengbei had arranged to go to Gunma Prefecture to attend Sonoko's classmate reunion over the weekend, Conan's face immediately fell. He was very worried about Jiang Chengbei, but seeing that things had come to this point and he couldn't stop him, he also clamored that he wanted to go along too.

Jiang Chengbei was going to meet the Bandaged Monster on important business, not for fun, so he punched Conan on the head, who was making a fuss about wanting to come along.

Seeing Conan insisting on going to Sonoko's class reunion, Kogoro Mouri was immediately lost in memories. Recalling some unhappy events, he said to everyone with a heavy heart:

"Xiao Lan, Jiang Cheng, when you go to Sonoko's class reunion this weekend, please don't bring Conan with you."

"If I bring him along, I'm afraid the class reunion will turn into one where someone dies, just like the one I organized before."

After Kogoro Mouri's reminder, Ran became even more determined not to bring Conan along.

After hearing Kogoro Mouri's reminder, Jiang Chengbei suddenly had the idea of ​​taking Conan with him. Someone was bound to die at the weekend party, and if he didn't take Conan, who would take the blame?

Miyano Akemi was a little confused about Jiang Chengbei's plans to attend Sonoko's gathering with Xiaolan over the weekend, but after Jiang Chengbei's explanation and persuasion, she was able to understand.

After all, Sonoko and her sister share the surname Suzuki, and she is the daughter of the head of the Suzuki Group. It's understandable for a career-minded man like Jiang Chengbei to go north and get to know them better.

Miyano Akemi was easy to coax; she understood Jiang Chengbei's ambition. But Haibara Ai was not so accepting. For the next few days, she constantly mocked Jiang Chengbei, doing what a sister-in-law should do to protect her sister.

Soon, it was the weekend, and Jiang Chengbei drove the car he bought from the system, taking Xiaolan with him towards Gunma Prefecture.

After Jiang Chengbei and Xiaolan set off, the Miyano sisters discovered that Conan, their big-headed doll, seemed to have disappeared from their home all day.

After entering Gunma Prefecture, the car went up a mountain road, which was winding and bumpy, making things difficult for Conan, who was hiding in the trunk.

Jiang Chengbei's driving skills were particularly poor today. He drove recklessly all the way, causing Conan in the trunk to get bumped all over his head and his stomach to churn so badly that he almost threw up.

Following the address provided by the garden, and with the help of a GPS navigator purchased from the system, Jiang Chengbei finally drove his car to the edge of the rift valley cliff.

Ahead was a suspension bridge made of ropes and wood. People swayed and wobbled as they walked on it, looking like they were about to fall. Cars couldn't drive on it either, as it didn't have enough load-bearing capacity and the bridge surface wasn't wide enough for one or two people to walk side by side.

As they got out of the car and were about to step onto the shaky, precarious suspension bridge, Jiang Chengbei and Xiao Lan saw a person dressed in a black cloak standing in the middle of the bridge.

Then, as expected, when the mysterious man turned around, Xiaolan let out a thunderous scream.

The man, his face covered in bandages, ran away quickly at Ran's screams. Conan, who was hiding in the trunk of the car, jumped in fright upon hearing Ran's scream, pushed open the trunk, and shouted:

"Xiaolan, I'm here!"

Conan, who had been hiding and suffering all the way out in such a hurry, was finally exposed.

Especially after figuring out why Ran screamed, it turned out she was just scared by the bandaged monster on the suspension bridge. She wasn't actually in danger, nor did she encounter Jiang Chengbei's groping. Conan didn't get the chance to become Ran's savior, to make a dazzling appearance, or for a child to save a beautiful woman.

Not only did Conan not get the chance to be the savior, but he also got punched on the head by Ran, the same punch she had given him when she smashed the cement pillar before. This was a lesson for him for secretly following her.

After giving Conan a lesson, the bandaged monster on the suspension bridge had long since disappeared. Jiang Chengbei and Xiaolan had no choice but to lead Conan across the suspension bridge and knock on the door of the villa opposite.

Upon seeing Jiang Chengbei and Xiao Lan arrive, the garden gates were opened to welcome them.

But seeing Conan with a bruised and swollen face, several bumps on his head, looking rather unwell, and somewhat listless, Sonoko was quite surprised:

"Xiao Lan, Jiang Cheng, you're here now, but why did you bring this troublesome brat with you?"

Hearing Sonoko's question, Ran said irritably, "We didn't intend to bring him. He hid in the trunk and secretly followed us here."

See the bump on his head and the bruises on his face? He got them while driving on a mountain road, hiding in the trunk.

After hearing Ran's explanation, Conan retorted loudly in his mind: The minor injury was from a collision, but the major head injury was caused by you, Ran, you violent woman!

While Conan was silently grumbling to himself, Ran and Sonoko from Jiangchengbei were chatting animatedly as they carried their luggage into the villa, where they met Sonoko's older sister, Ayako Suzuki.

After exchanging pleasantries with Sonoko's sister, Jiang Chengbei, Ran, Conan, and the others carried their luggage upstairs.

Because of the vivid memory of this childhood trauma, when going upstairs, Jiang Chengbei rushed ahead of Xiaolan, quickly ran to the corridor, and without knocking, grabbed the doorknob, turned it, opened the door, and poked his head inside.

Then comes a "Sorry, I came to the wrong door," sometimes with an added "Wow, you have a great figure." After saying this, Jiang Chengbei apologizes and closes the door.

Not content with just opening one door, Jiang Chengbei tirelessly opened every single door in the room, looked into each one, and apologized to each one.

Seeing Jiang Chengbei's recklessness in opening the door without even knocking, Xiaolan, who was lagging behind, couldn't help but complain:

"Jiang Lin, you're so careless. Since you don't know which rooms are occupied, couldn't you at least knock before opening the door?"

"You opened the door so carelessly, and saw something you shouldn't have. How embarrassing!"

After Ran finished complaining, Conan quickly seized the opportunity to badmouth Jiang Chengbei in front of Ran:

"Sister Xiaolan, maybe Brother Jiangcheng did it on purpose. The reason he didn't knock and just opened the door so carelessly is probably because he wanted to see some things that are not suitable for children. He's a very lecherous person."

Listening to Conan's slanderous words, having already opened the door, seen the three men changing clothes, and found two empty rooms, Jiang Chengbei walked back. Reaching the intersection of the stairs and the corridor, he raised his fist and punched Conan's large head hard, who happened to be standing there.

"You even know about scenes that are not suitable for children, you must watch a lot of them."

"The room is full of men, what's there to see?"

After reprimanding the talkative Conan, Jiang Chengbei turned around again, took his luggage to an empty room, then Ran went to Sonoko's room, and finally Conan, rubbing his throbbing head, followed him to Jiang Chengbei's room.

With Jiang Chengbei around, it's completely impossible for Conan in this world to sleep alone in the same room as Ran.

After Jiang Chengbei finished looking at the three slender men changing clothes, what happened next was pretty much the same as in the original drama.

To reassure the bandaged monster that he could attack him, Jiang Chengbei kept his abilities hidden, pretending to be a weak and unassuming scholar.

After Jiang Chengbei finished looking at the three slender men changing clothes, what happened next was pretty much the same as in the original drama.

In the original drama, the two men whose bodies were seen by Xiaolan had a mischievous look on their faces, and even a little bit of surprise in their hearts. But now that Jiang Chengbei has seen them, he looks completely indifferent.
