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

"Hattori, what's so strange about that? Of course I'm disappointed that I'm starting to doubt you."

Hattori, although we have never met, we have long admired each other and cherished each other's hearts.

You forgot? When we were in junior high, we went skiing and encountered a murder case. A TV star was killed, and we started investigating one after the other.

Although we never met during the investigation, we discovered each other's existence. We had an opponent who was both very close and very far away, and we were fighting each other from afar.

Finally, you were at the scene, and I was on the phone. I solved the case before you, and by sheer luck, I defeated you. From that moment on, we were kindred spirits, destined rivals. Have you forgotten all that?

Reminded by Jiang Chengbei, Hattori Heiji also remembered the skiing trip that year, and then shouted loudly at Jiang Chengbei:

"I haven't forgotten that matter, but you're mistaken about one thing: I solved that case before you did!"

After I solved the case, the officer who answered the phone told me that my reasoning was the same as his!

"That's right. I was the one who told the officer the details of the case over the phone first. He waited for you to finish showing off before telling you my reasoning. So, I solved the case first, didn't I?"

"Nonsense! I stated the reasoning first; you were behind me, but slower!"

"Fine, you're still as competitive as ever. I won't compete with you anymore. If you want to beat me once, then you can solve the case first. I don't care about that at all."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

Chapter 119 Hattori, Uncle Mori, I'll treat you to a big meal.

Jiang Chengbei casually told a story, which completely fooled Hattori Heiji, making him believe that he was Kudo Shinichi himself.

Although Jiang Chengbei mentioned their skiing trip during middle school, Xiaolan still felt that this Shinichi Kudo was strange, an indescribable feeling, and she felt that this Shinichi Kudo was fake.

Xiaolan herself found it strange why she had this feeling.

After barely convincing herself that this Shinichi Kudo was real, Ran's fists started itching again, and she really wanted to grab the Shinichi Kudo in front of her and beat him up.

Soon after Kogoro Mouri woke up, the group started causing trouble again. Only after Jiang Chengbei promised to treat them to a big meal was Kogoro Mouri, who was causing the most trouble, finally calmed down.

Jiang Chengbei said he would treat them to a big meal, and he actually took them to a fairly good Western restaurant and even booked a private room for them.

During lunch, Jiang Chengbei was very hospitable and kept giving Kogoro Mouri and Heiji Hattori extra food, making sure they ate their fill.

As for Ran, looking at Shinichi Kudo's face, she was so angry she was practically full. No matter how delicious the food was, to her, it could only be a way to turn her grief into strength. No matter how much she didn't want to eat, she would force herself to eat as much as possible, hoping to eat that hateful childhood friend across the street out of house and home.

Under Jiang Chengbei's warm hospitality, the main meal finally came to an end. Kogoro Mouri and Heiji Hattori, who had been given special treatment by him, ate their fill and sat in their chairs like Ge You, not wanting to move, looking completely satisfied.

Jiang Chengbei: "Hattori, Uncle Mori, have some more!"

Hattori & Mori: "We're full, we can't eat anymore."

Jiang Chengbei: "Okay, as long as I'm full, or if I can't eat anymore, hehe..."

Seeing Jiang Chengbei's sly grin, Mori and Hattori, who were both stuffed, looked on with confusion.

Then, the waiter pushed the food cart up and politely placed the last dish in front of Hattori and the others.

Since the last dish was covered, Kogoro and the others didn't know what was inside, but considering they were already full and couldn't eat anymore, Kogoro and Hattori said they didn't want any more.

"It's alright, Uncle Mori, and Hattori too. You can take the leftovers home if you can't finish them."

However, a Western meal is incomplete without dessert.

Ta-da! Alright, now it's my turn to unveil the final, grand finale dessert for Uncle Mori and Hattori.

What was prepared for Uncle Mori was: a coffee cake that tasted like bird droppings.

What was prepared for Hattori was a milk cake that tasted like bird droppings.

This is our shop's signature dessert, specially prepared for the two of you.

Ugh~~~×2

When Jiang Chengbei lifted the lid and saw the cake's design, and heard the words he used to describe it, both Mori and Hattori couldn't hold back any longer and vomited up everything they had just eaten.

"Shinichi Kudo, I'm going to kill you!" ×2

Then another chaotic scene erupted in the private room.

At the same time, although Hattori Heiji wanted to kill Jiang Chengbei, after being tricked by Jiang Chengbei this time, he finally confirmed that this Kudo Shinichi was indeed real, and also admitted that his reasoning was indeed impressive.

If he's not true, then how could someone who just ate bird droppings with Uncle Mori this morning, and yet, before noon, someone they'd only just met, deduce this? Who else could have such strong reasoning abilities besides Shinichi Kudo, who's on par with Hattori Heiji?

-----------------

Although the final desserts, the bird droppings coffee-flavored cake and the bird droppings milk-flavored cake, were made according to Jiang Chengbei's generous tip, and even more so according to his request, these two cakes were made to look as much like bird droppings as possible.

Although they found the ill-gotten gains from Jiangchengbei quite appealing, in the end they still felt sorry for Mori and Hattori, who were sick of seeing bird droppings cake.

So, they were given four movie tickets to the Mihana City Hall Cinema because they were lucky customers who had won four weekend movie tickets in a lottery.

These four movie tickets weren't arranged by Jiang Chengbei; they were a gift from the restaurant. He only arranged for the two bird droppings desserts. He didn't expect these two people to be so weak; they vomited before even eating them.

That's bird poop; at least they ate it before spitting it out.

But Jiang Chengbei can assure you that this cake that looks like bird droppings doesn't contain a single bird dropping; it's just made to look like bird droppings. It's surprising that these two are so disgusted by this fake; they're easily amused.

On the way back, the atmosphere was not harmonious, and everyone had their own ulterior motives.

Finally, Jiang Chengbei couldn't hold back any longer and went to Kogoro Mouri's side, whispering:

"Uncle, going to the movies is something for us young people. It's not appropriate for a middle-aged or elderly person like you to go to the movies with us, is it?"

"How about you resell the movie tickets to me, and I'll pay you..."

"What? Kudo brat, what did you just say to me?" Before Jiang Chengbei could finish speaking, Kogoro Mouri yelled at him angrily.

"I said, can you give me the ticket? I'll pay you back, the price is negotiable. Uncle Mori, I just asked you to buy a movie ticket, why are you getting so worked up? No good deed goes unpunished."

"Good deeds go unrewarded, what good deeds do you have! Also, what angers me is not this sentence, but the sentence above: You actually called me middle-aged or elderly!"

Am I that old? I'm still young and energetic. I could take on two kids like you by myself!

Also, what you just said offended me, so I'm not selling movie tickets. Don't even think about it!

Seeing that Kogoro Mouri rejected his suggestion, Jiang Chengbei helplessly shrugged and muttered, "It's really hard to be a good person."

Since Kogoro Mori's good intentions have not been rewarded, we can only turn our kindness to Heiji Hattori and hope that he will be rewarded.

"Hattori, what brings you to Tokyo?"

"What's wrong with finding evidence of Conan's crimes and bringing him to justice?"

"That's good. Since you have important things to do, you probably won't go to the movies on the weekend, which is a waste of time, right? Why don't you sell me the movie tickets?"

"There are plenty of movie tickets at cinemas, why do you have to buy them from us?" Hattori Heiji asked, puzzled.

"Because the four of us are sitting together, I don't want any acquaintances next to me."

Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, Xiaolan blushed subconsciously: So Shinichi wanted his father and Hattori's movie tickets because he wanted to clear the theater.

Shinichi is so annoying, but I like him...

But Dad's angry with Shinichi right now, so it looks like he won't be able to get the movie tickets from him. So, I'll have to step in and ask Dad...

I wonder how he will thank me after he sees that my dad isn't going out on weekend nights?

Just as Xiaolan was lost in her reverie, Hattori understood Jiang Chengbei's meaning. He then looked at Xiaolan, this female tyrant, and wondered why such a woman and such a despicable man as Kudo Shinichi would be attracted to each other.

However, if they had dealt with it internally, the world would have been spared a pair of menaces, so Hattori handed his movie ticket to Jiang Chengbei.

After receiving the movie tickets from Hattori Heiji, Jiang Chengbei turned around and walked to Ran's side, giving her a fawning smile before saying, "Ran..."

Chapter 120 Ran: Shinichi Kudo, you scum, I'm going to kill you!

Seeing Jiang Chengbei approach, Xiaolan became a little shy. She thought he had come to ask her to stop her father from disturbing their movie screening on the weekend, so she immediately nodded shyly and whispered:

"Shinichi, don't worry, I'll help you."

Before Jiang Chengbei could even speak, seeing Xiaolan agree, a happy expression immediately appeared on his face. He then stretched out his hand, palm up, and placed it in front of Xiaolan.

Xiao Lan looked puzzled and turned to look at the smiling Jiang Chengbei.

Seeing that Xiaolan had just agreed so readily, but when he actually asked her for it, she started to play dumb, Jiang Chengbei was very disappointed, so he had no choice but to urge her, "Give it to me."

"What?" Xiaolan was still confused: You didn't say what you wanted, how am I supposed to know what to give you?

"Movie tickets, of course." Jiang Chengbei waved the movie tickets in his hand at Xiaolan as if it were a matter of course.

"Kudo Shinichi!"

After understanding, Xiaolan's anger surged, and she entered a state of charging up again.

If Jiang Chengbei doesn't run away, then... his two unlucky buddies are going to get beaten to a pulp again.

So, seeing that Ran was angry again, Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro were immediately trembling with fear, and then they retreated step by step, keeping away from Ran, this female tyrant, and Jiang Chengbei, this jinx.

Seeing that Xiaolan was angry again, Jiang Chengbei had no choice but to awkwardly withdraw his outstretched hand and muttered, "If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. Why are you so angry?"

Hey Quantum, I'm sorry, but there's a father and daughter who'll be there as third wheels when we go to the movies this weekend, so I won't be able to spend time alone with you.

Also, I originally planned to introduce my childhood sweetheart, Xiaolan, to you at your birthday party, but that's not possible now. We'll have to let you meet her at the movie theater first.

"A birthday party?! You want us to get to know you on your birthday?! You scum! How could you do something like this?!"

"Kuji! Fujiwara! Shinichi! I'm going to kill you!"

After roaring and gathering her energy to its peak, Ran Mouri immediately delivered a flying kick to Jiang Chengbei, who narrowly dodged it.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chengbei kept cursing in his heart:

All they talk is talk, and they never actually do anything. The red team is so annoying. They talk a big game, and they even say they want to kill me, but why is it always all bark and no bite? The system doesn't react at all!

I hate those who just talk the talk but don't walk the walk!

Seeing that they had finally made their move, Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro, who had learned their lesson once, exchanged a glance and then immediately split up and ran, hoping to escape as much as possible.

After glancing at the system with disappointment, Jiang Chengbei randomly selected one and threw in a Ke Xue Chakra Locator. Then, he took Xiaolan and chased after the other one.

Finally, after a fierce battle of chasing and dodging, neither Heiji Hattori nor Kogoro Mori escaped; they were both given a good beating by Ran.

When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well; as long as you are strong enough, anyone can become a fish in the moat.

Mao Li and the other two were furious that Jiang Chengbei hadn't been hit even once, but in the end, even the three of them combined their strength and still couldn't catch Jiang Chengbei or hit him, which made their anger useless.

After Jiang Chengbei's outburst, the three of them returned home exhausted.

Of course, the three of them went back to 5-chome, while Jiang Chengbei shook them off first, then flew back to the fruit shop to wait for Kogoro Mouri and the others to return.
