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

Page 33

Hearing Jiang Chengbei's sudden words, Yoko Chongye was almost stunned, but after her initial surprise, she still said with gratitude but also a touch of distance:

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang Cheng. I understand what you mean. Thank you for your support. I will work harder in the future to repay your support. In short, thank you, Mr. Jiang Cheng."

Hearing what Yoko Okino said, Jiang Chengbei sighed and said with a touch of sadness:

"It seems Ms. Yoko still doesn't understand what I mean. I'm not a fake fan like Kogoro Mouri, I'm a true fan, the kind that's obsessed!"

Yoko Okino: "Huh?!?!"

Kogoro Mouri: "Hey Jiangchengbei brat, just talk about yourself, don't keep bringing up 'Mouri is a fake fan' every time you say something!"

If you bring it up again, believe me, I'll slap you!

"Mouri, you fake fan have no right to talk to me." Jiang Chengbei wasn't afraid of Kogoro Mouri at all. After yelling at him, he said affectionately to Yoko:

"The difference between me and Mori, this fake fan, is that when you're not doing anything, I'm just a quiet, invisible fan. You can't see me going crazy for you from the audience."

But now that you're in trouble, that's when my die-hard fan, the "I love you," will step in!

Yoko, I'm serious when it comes to help, so this time, with the dead body in your room, I'll take the blame for you!

"Huh? What? Someone died in my room, and you covered for me?" Yoko Okino was confused after hearing Jiang Chengbei's affectionate words.

"Taking the blame for you means I'm going to take the blame for you!" Jiang Chengbei really wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back and continued to pretend to be affectionate.

"But I didn't kill him, I don't need you to take the blame!"

Yoko Okino continued to blink her bewildered eyes, speaking to Jiang Chengbei with a mixture of confusion, bewilderment, and a hint of resentment that he had wronged her.

"Yoko, don't lie to me. I've already told you I'm your fan, not a fake fan like Kogoro Mouri, but a true, die-hard fan, a genuine and devoted fan, a complete and utter fan. I'm the complete opposite of that hypocritical Kogoro Mouri."

Kogoro Mouri: You're dissing me again and again! My fist, as big as a sandbag, can't hold back anymore!

Yoko Okino: "Ken-kun, I appreciate your support for my career as an artist, but..."

"Yoko, you still don't understand what I mean. I've made it so clear, why are you still pretending to be stupid?"

Yoko Okino Σ(⊙▽⊙“a: “Jiangcheng-kun, why did I pretend to be stupid?”

"Do you really want me to spell it out? Fine, I won't keep it a secret anymore. Let me be blunt: I recognize the guy lying on the ground inside. I know who he is."

Although Yoko, your relationship with that guy inside is very secretive, and most people don't know about it, even fake fans like Mori have no idea, but as a die-hard fan, I recognized him at a glance.

Now that I know who he is, I can roughly guess his motive for dying here. So Yoko, you don't need to lie to me anymore. Just admit it and let me take the blame for you!

"At this point, this is the only way!"

Yoko Okino: "What? You recognized the dead man inside? Who is he, and what does he have to do with me?"

Kogoro Mouri: "He's lying face down, back to the sky, feet towards the door, head towards the inside of the house, like this, you can still recognize who's inside even though you can't see his face at all?"

Jiang Chengbei: "I've already said I'm a true fan. How could I not recognize someone who used to be so close to Ms. Yangzi?"

"I'd recognize what he did to Yoko even if he were ashes, let alone the fact that he's just dead. I'm not some fake, plastic fan like you, Mori, who knows nothing."

Maori Kogoro:"……"

Chapter 55: There were only two fans at the scene, and it turned out that neither of them were normal.

After hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, Yoko Okino and Eiichi Yamagishi clearly thought of some terrifying person. Their expressions changed drastically, and the two stood fearfully at the apartment door, staring blankly at the huge body inside.

The more I look at it, the more it resembles the real thing; the more I look, the more disheartened I become.

If it really was that person who died, the police would definitely suspect me (Yoko) first.

Looking at the dead body in the room, Yoko Okino and Eiichi Yamagishi couldn't help but think of the same thing.

Who exactly died inside?

Seeing the unusual reactions of Yoko Okino and Eiichi Yamagishi, Kogoro Mori panicked. He had a bad feeling, so he shouted loudly at the three people, including Kogoro Kojima, who were unwilling to speak:

"Jiang Cheng, Miss Yangzi, please say something! Who is the one who died inside?"

"Tell me, and only then can this great detective help Miss Yoko!"

"I can't tell you. It concerns Ms. Yoko's secret. How can I tell you, a fake fan?"

What if you, with your big mouth, tell everyone? Wouldn't our Miss Yoko's reputation be ruined?

Also, if the sky falls, I'll hold it up; I'll take responsibility for this.

When the police arrive, I will confess that I killed the person.

As for the secret of the dead man inside, let's bury it and never mention it again.

By the way, before the police arrive, let's go over our statements. Here's what we'll say:

To be honest, Ms. Yoko was being followed, so she asked Mori to investigate. As it turned out, we arrived at a rather coincidental time and happened to run into this burglar and robber.

He saw that we had returned, so he wanted to kill me to silence me. He attacked me, and I accidentally killed him in self-defense.

With you all as witnesses, I can be considered to have killed in self-defense. If I find a good lawyer, I might not even have to go to jail.

Even if I didn't fool the police and they found out, I'll take the blame for the murder for Yoko's sake. At worst, I'll just spend ten or twenty years in prison.

"At this point, even elementary school student Conan is famous. I don't care whether I get twenty years or one year, it's all the same..."

Just as Jiang Chengbei was having some fun, Yoko Okino came out, her face pale, and stopped him: "No! I don't agree! I don't agree to Jiang Cheng-kun taking the blame and going to jail for me..."

"Huh? I'm so angry with Jiang Chengjun that I've lost my mind. I didn't kill him, so Jiang Chengjun can't take the blame. That would only benefit the real killer."

"Yes, I disagree as well."

Although you haven't revealed who died inside, I don't understand why Jiang Cheng is so convinced that Yangzi is the murderer. Besides, Jiang Cheng is a really annoying person; he keeps spreading rumors that I'm a fake fan.

But as a former criminal investigator, now a detective, and an upright person, I also disagree with committing perjury and standing by and watching Jiang Cheng take the blame for such a criminal act.

After Kogoro Mouri finished expressing his opinion, Ran chimed in to agree:

"I agree with everyone's opinion. Although Jiang Cheng, you looked very cool when you were protecting Miss Yangzi, taking the blame will lead to jail time, so I don't agree with that either."

Furthermore, Jiang Chengjun, you only know who the deceased is. We haven't even been inside the scene yet, and we don't have any clues. How can you be so sure that the murderer is Ms. Yangzi?

"Based on what we know so far, even if Shinichi were present, he wouldn't be able to deduce who the murderer is. So, isn't Jiang Cheng acting too rashly? I believe the murderer isn't Ms. Yoko. What you're doing will only make Yoko feel guilty afterward."

After listening to Ran's words, Yoko Okino nodded seriously and said:

"Yes, Xiaolan is right, I really am not the murderer."

Jiang Chengjun, I know you're good to me, but please think about yourself too. I'm just an idol. Even if I really am the murderer, it's not worth you sacrificing your happiness for the rest of your life to take the blame for me.

As usual, when idol Yoko Okino spoke up, Kogoro Mouri immediately sided with her, unconditionally cheering her on.

“That’s right, Miss Yoko is right. She says she’s not the murderer, so she’s not the murderer. Jiang Cheng, you shouldn’t wrong her anymore.”

"And another thing I'm curious about, Jiang Cheng, you only know who the victim is, so how come you're so certain that Miss Yangzi is the murderer? Are you some kind of detective even better than me?"

"Brother Mori, you're joking. In terms of reasoning ability, how can I compare to the famous detective Kogoro Mori?"

In my hometown, everyone knows how amazing Detective Mori is. Those who come to him are either murderers or victims. If they don't want Mori to be their alibi, who would bother with this plague god Mori?

Anyone who comes looking for Kogoro Mouri will either be killed or kill someone; if neither, then they're either a child or a permanent resident.

"Jiang Cheng, what are you saying? What do you mean I'm a plague god? What do you mean those who come to me are murderers or the dead? Explain yourself!"

"It's hard to explain; it's an objective law."

"I doubt you can explain it clearly. Forget it, investigating the case is the priority. Jiang Cheng won't tell the truth. Miss Yangzi, you should tell me who the deceased inside is. Only if you explain it clearly can I, the great detective, help you."

If you don't speak up soon, Jiang Cheng, this brainless fan, is going to take the blame for you—a good deed that backfires.

After hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Yoko Okino hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip before reluctantly saying:

"The dead body inside looks like... looks like..."

"What does it seem like?" Kogoro Mouri asked impatiently.

"It seems to be my ex-boyfriend..."

"What?! My ex-boyfriend?!"

Yoko, you have an ex-boyfriend?!

How come I didn't know?!

I'm going to die! Yoko has an ex-boyfriend! I can't live anymore, let me die...

Everyone was shocked by Kogoro Mouri's reaction when he heard that Yoko Okino had an ex-boyfriend. He burst into tears, pounded the walls and the ground, rolled around on the floor, and seemed so desperate that he didn't want to live anymore.

Unable to bear it any longer, Jiang Chengbei whispered something in his ear:

"Alright, Mori, you fake fan who doesn't even know Yoko has an ex-boyfriend, stop acting."

"Get lost, you're the fake fan, your whole family are fake fans..."

Yoko, you have an ex-boyfriend? I can't live anymore... That damned ex-boyfriend, thank goodness you died early today, otherwise I would have used a knife...

Ah, Yoko…

Everyone was shocked to see Kogoro Mouri break down.

At the same time, they finally understood how terrifying brainless fans can be.

Today, we finally broadened the horizons of Kogoro Mouri and Jiang Chengbei, those two eccentric fans.

Seeing Mori like this, Jiang Chengbei immediately spent 1 kill coin to buy the highlight moment of the nameless supporting character in the Gu Jingzi kidnapping case a few days ago.

As one of only two unnamed individuals in the original series to catch Conan's soccer ball with one hand, even though he was facing a low-budget version of Conan in his naked state, his highlight moment is often mentioned alongside Makoto Kyogoku, the number one Conan character.

Therefore, the purpose of his skill - Nameless Extra's Highlight Moment is: after non-story characters start the assassination of Jiang Chengbei, they will be rewarded with kill coins, with a maximum of 1 kill coin per person.

lv1: Can obtain up to 10 kill coins from 10 non-story characters.

Level 2: Upgrading requires 2 kill coins, the maximum number of people can be increased by 20, and you can get a maximum of 20 more kill coins, for a total of 30 more kill coins from non-story characters.

Level 3: Upgrading requires 4 kill coins, the maximum number of people can be increased by 30, and you can get a maximum of 30 more kill coins, for a total of 60 more kill coins from non-story characters.

Level 4: Upgrading requires 8 kill coins, the maximum number of people can be increased by 40, and you can get a maximum of 40 more kill coins, for a total of 100 more kill coins from non-story characters.

Level 5: Upgrading requires 16 kill coins, the maximum number of people can be increased by 50, and you can get a maximum of 50 more kill coins, for a total of 150 more kill coins from non-story characters.

This gave Jiang Chengbei an opportunity to acquire more non-story character kill coins, increasing his sources of kill coins, so he bought it as soon as it was available.

Jiang Chengbei originally had 1 kill coin after buying Gin's Danger Warning. He then got 2 more kill coins from the kidnappers, for a total of 3 kill coins. Now, after buying the Nameless Extra's Highlight Moment, Jiang Chengbei has 2 kill coins left.
