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

After realizing he had figured out Jiang Chengbei's background, Amuro Tooru felt that he had been overly cautious, thus missing the opportunity to boldly investigate intelligence and wasting a lot of precious time being tricked by Jiang Chengbei.

Therefore, Amuro Tooru repented and realized he could no longer be as timid as before. He should be bold and strike hard to deal a heavy blow to his opponent.

When Yukiko spoke again, just as she called out "Boss Jiangcheng," before she could continue asking, Amuro Tooru quickly interrupted, asking:

"Boss, what's your organization called? How many people are there in Tokyo? Who's your superior? Where's the branch? Can you show me around and introduce me to it? I'd like to work a few more jobs."

Seeing Amuro Tooru open up and ask so directly, Jiang Chengbei stared at him speechlessly, then said with a half-smile:

"Are you asking so many questions to investigate my household registration? Touko, are you a police officer?"

Touko, take my advice: whatever you do, never become a policeman. Being a policeman is too dangerous for your friends. Don't forget you're a jinx.

Not getting the answer he wanted, and being called a policeman again, Amuro Tooru was internally raging with frustration:

When this stranger asks you a question, you answer everything. But when I, the employee you trust the most, finally mustered up the courage to ask you a few questions, you didn't say a word. You're hypocritical!

You hypocrite, you deserve to die a horrible death!

They even said I passed your test and was your most trusted employee. It's all a lie, humph!

"Okay, I'm not talking to you guys anymore, someone's looking for me."

After saying that, Jiang Chengbei took out the detective badge conjured from Ke Xue's chakra from his pocket, pulled out the antenna, turned it on, and said to the tiny thing that was no bigger than a finger:

"Hello, who's looking for me?"

Then, to the astonishment of Amuro Tooru and Yukiko, the tiny, thin thing, about the size of a regular badge, began to emit the voices of several children.

“Brother Jiangcheng, it’s me, Yuan Tai.”

"And then there's me, Mitsuhiko."

"And then there's Ayumi."

Amuro Tooru and Yukiko were immediately shocked to hear the voices of the three elementary school students who had entered the store earlier coming from this little device. Moreover, the sound quality was excellent, just like their original voices, several levels higher than the somewhat distorted telephone and cell phone calls.

You know, the most expensive cell phones on the market these days are as big as bricks and so heavy they could be used as hammers. When they saw Jiang Chengbei using such a small thing as a phone, their faces were full of surprise.

Especially considering he was a national agent, and an undercover agent on the front lines of life and death, the communication tools he was using were not as advanced as those of Jiang Chengbei and a few elementary school students. The bitterness in his heart was beyond words.

He loves this country, but the country doesn't love him. Otherwise, why doesn't he, as an undercover agent, have access to high-tech communication tools that even elementary school students can use?

Jiang Chengbei: "What do you want from me?"

After Jiang Chengbei finished asking his questions, the Teitan trio of idiots immediately chimed in through the detective badge:

"We walked a long way when we were looking for the cat."

"When the cat was finally found, it was covered in blood."

……

After their rambling and incoherent descriptions, Jiang Chengbei and his group finally understood that they had found a corpse where they had found the cat.

But when they called the police and the officers arrived, they went to the house where the body was found, but they couldn't find it anywhere.

As a result, after being kicked out by that family, they immediately got into an argument with Megure, who had led the group.

Megure blamed them for making a false police report, and they condemned the police for their incompetence, saying they couldn't even find a body.

Finally, the police drove back to the Metropolitan Police Department, and their internal team was also having disagreements about breaking up. Conan told everyone to go home and leave the matter at that, and not to investigate any further.

Given Conan's past record of deliberately sending them away to investigate on his own, they distrusted him after parting ways and called Jiang Chengbei using their detective badges to inquire whether Conan had returned.

Upon learning from Jiang Chengbei that Conan hadn't returned, they immediately became indignant and clamored to go back and settle scores with Conan.

After listening to their story, Jiang Chengbei suddenly remembered a case. So before the three kids could hang up their detective badges, Jiang Chengbei quickly asked for the family's address and name, and then rushed over.

After listening to their conversation, Amuro Tooru and Yukiko exchanged glances and suddenly remembered what Jiang Chengbei had just said to them as a charlatan. Could it be true that Conan really is a death god who brings death wherever he goes?

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that these children actually saw the corpse, that they weren't seeing things, and that there really was a corpse.

If Conan really is a cursed, lonely Grim Reaper, then Amuro Tooru wouldn't have been predicted by Jiang Chengbei, right?

Amuro Tooru was immediately filled with anxiety because his four good friends who were police officers had really sacrificed their lives. If it was really because of his fate, Amuro Tooru would cry his heart out!

Forget it, I don't want to.

Amuro Tooru came here to investigate Conan, and now there's another person, Jiang Chengbei, who claims to be part of an organization, to investigate as well. Since there are cases to observe their behavior, he immediately offered to go along.

Yukiko is the same; whenever Conan goes out, there's a murder case, so how can she not go and check it out?

So Jiang Chengbei and the other two closed the shop and drove to the Tanaka house that the Teitan Three Idiots had mentioned.

While driving, Jiang Chengbei also asked the Teitan Three Idiots about the situation at the time, listening to them tell how they had turned the place upside down, dug up the floor, pried open the ceiling, and searched for the missing body.

Chapter 159 Yukiko Joins the Shop as a Clerk

Arriving near the Tanaka residence, they met up with the Teitan trio, and then Jiang Chengbei and the others split up.

The Teitan trio and Yukiko Amuro searched outside for Conan, who had disappeared, while Kojo Kita went to the Tanaka house to knock on the door and look for Conan inside.

At first, the three idiots of Teitan were unwilling and wanted to go with Jiang Chengbei to knock on the door, but Jiang Chengbei said that the Tanaka brothers already knew you. You had disturbed their rest before and then turned on them and kicked you out. Now that you familiar faces are going with them, it will prevent others from getting in as well.

After Jiang Chengbei's persuasion, they finally calmed down and then obediently led Amuro Tooru and Yukiko outside to look for Conan who was hiding.

Jiang Chengbei went to the Tanaka family's house alone and knocked on the door. Although his younger brother, Tanaka Tomofumi, who opened the door was not very welcoming, Jiang Chengbei pretended to be a newspaper editor and had arranged to meet his older brother, the writer Tanaka Kazuyu, today. In the end, he reluctantly invited Jiang Chengbei in and asked him to wait in the living room.

As for Jiang Chengbei, who was meeting him for the first time, how did he distinguish that the person in front of him was the younger of the twin brothers? It was because the Teitan Sansa had told him when introducing the situation that the one with the beard was the older brother, Tanaka Kazuyu, who was a writer, and the one without the beard was the younger brother, Tanaka Tomofumi, who worked at a securities company.

The person who opened the door was dressed in a suit and had no beard, so Jiang Chengbei, the imposter editor, didn't give himself away and didn't mistake him for someone else.

When Jiang Chengbei first entered the house, he was very well-behaved, sitting upright on the living room sofa, quietly waiting for his older brother Tanaka Kazuyu to come downstairs.

But his younger brother, who was with him, couldn't sit still any longer. He apologized to Jiang Chengbei and then, under the pretense of going upstairs to urge his brother to come down, asked Jiang Chengbei to wait a moment while he went upstairs to call someone. Then he left.

Before going upstairs, Tanaka Tomofumi made a point of looking back and saw that Jiang Chengbei, the honest editor, was indeed sitting obediently in the living room drinking tea, so he went upstairs with peace of mind.

Going upstairs to the room where Tanaka Kazuyu had been sitting, his younger brother, Tanaka Tomofumi, remained silent. Instead, he found a small mustache hidden in the corner of the bookshelf and carefully stuck it on his face.

Then he found the same pajamas as Tanaka Kazuyu, who was sleeping on the sofa, quickly took off his suit, changed into the pajamas, and finally combed his hair, getting the same hairstyle as Tanaka Kazuyu.

After doing all this, Tanaka Tomofumi cleared his throat, straightened his clothes, and twisted his neck, instantly changing his personal demeanor to make himself look more like his older brother, Tanaka Kazuyu.

Tanaka Tomofumi changed his appearance, becoming the older brother and Yui, and then nodded in satisfaction before turning to go downstairs.

As a result, when he turned around, he was confronted by Jiang Chengbei, who was standing at the door with a DV camera filming him. He was so frightened that he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

After Jiang Chengbei finished filming Tanaka Tomofumi disguised as Tanaka Kazuyu, he turned the DV camera on Tanaka Kazuyu, who was sitting and sleeping, and started filming him.

Not only that, Jiang Chengbei also said to Tanaka Tomofumi as he walked towards Tanaka and Yu:

"Mr. Tanaka, you and Mr. Tanaka look so alike! If you put on a fake beard, wear the same clothes as Mr. Tanaka, and have the same hairstyle, I can't tell you two apart."

Mr. Tanaka, you brothers are really close. In order not to disturb Mr. Tanaka's rest and let him sleep a little longer, you couldn't bear to wake him up. So you dressed up as him and came down to talk to me, right?

However, I don't think that's a good idea. I think it's better for our publishing house to negotiate the contract with Mr. Tanaka's new book personally.

I think if it's about the new book, Mr. Tanaka wouldn't mind me waking him up.

As Jiang Chengbei spoke, he walked over to Tanaka Kazuyu, who was wearing pajamas and sitting asleep, and started angrily filming him with a DV camera while pushing him away.

"No! Stop! Get out of here! Don't disturb my brother's sleep!"

At this point, Tanaka Tomofumi, realizing that Jiang Chengbei hadn't found Tanaka Kazuyu's body, rushed forward desperately in a final, desperate struggle.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chengbei was very close to Tanaka Kazuyu, while Tanaka Tomofumi was very far away from Jiang Chengbei. So, after Jiang Chengbei pushed Tanaka Kazuyu, Tanaka Tomofumi didn't rush to Jiang Chengbei's side to stop it from happening.

Then, after Jiang Chengbei pushed Tanaka Kazuyu, something miraculous happened. Before Tanaka Kazuyu collapsed like a corpse, Jiang Chengbei fell to the floor first.

The DV camera landed on the ground, Jiang Chengbei landed on his buttocks, his hands supporting him on the ground. He was terrified again, unable to even scream for help, only able to silently shout with his mouth opening and closing.

From Jiang Chengbei's mouth movements, Tanaka Tomofumi surprisingly discovered that he seemed to understand lip reading. He understood that Jiang Chengbei seemed to be shouting words such as "Help! Murder! Teacher Tanaka is dead."

Unfortunately, this young man who was terrified by the corpse was all show and no substance. The body had been cleaned up and there wasn't a drop of blood left, yet he was still so frightened. It's true that there's always a way out!

With a casual touch, Tanaka Tomofumi found the golf club that had killed his twin brother. With the murder weapon in hand, the murderous aura from his recent killing of his brother returned!

Seeing Jiang Chengbei sitting on the ground, kicking and crawling backward, Tanaka Tomofumi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and at the same time, an idea formed in his mind:

This terrified eyewitness cannot be allowed to live. Even if he is afraid of death now and does not dare to call the police under my threats, there is no guarantee that he will not talk nonsense or call the police in the future!

Furthermore, his brother's body has been at home for so long, and he still hasn't figured out what to do with it. Even if he were to bury it outside, he wouldn't know what excuse to use to explain his brother's disappearance.

After all, it was a crime of passion. He hadn't planned it beforehand, and several children witnessed the murder. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and managed to fool them with a few simple tricks.

Now that Jiang Chengbei is a witness, he has another idea: to risk killing him, then pretend that he and his own brother are arguing, attacking each other, and finally dying together.

Several detectives had searched for a long time but couldn't find the body. They didn't even recognize the body when it was right in front of them. Through this incident, Tomofumi Tanaka has seen the incompetence of the Metropolitan Police Department.

If they couldn't even see something this simple before, then this time he's setting up a plan for these two to die together, and these incompetent good-for-nothings definitely won't be able to figure it out either.

After Jiang Chengbei, who was on the ground in Tanaka Tomofumi's place, swung the fatal shot, Jiang Chengbei got 2 kill coins, now with 29 kill coins, and the new item in the Ke Xue Mall: Calling a Deer a Horse and Being Blinded by a Leaf.

"Calling a deer a horse" and "being blinded by a leaf": As long as what you say is reasonable and self-consistent, and appears to be true on the surface, the audience will be fooled and believe what you say. Price: 10 kill coins.

Note: If later bystanders explain the facts to them, they will realize the truth and understand that they have been deceived.

After reading the explanations of "calling a deer a horse" and "being blinded by a leaf," Jiang Chengbei realized that this was a skill that temporarily improved his deception skills and the credibility of his words. So he gritted his teeth and spent 10 kill coins to buy it.

Seeing that he still had 19 kill coins left, and remembering that his talent was limited and his acting skills hadn't improved no matter how much he practiced, he spent another kill coin to buy the acting skills of the male actor Nachi Shingo from last time.

After the two new skills were added, Jiang Chengbei now only has 18 kill coins left. At the same time, after catching the murderer and sending him to the police station, the number of times he can transform into Conan/Shinichi Kudo will increase to 3.

Soon, after taking down and capturing Tanaka Tomofumi in Jiangcheng North and calling the police, Amuro Tooru and the others who were looking for Conan outside finally found Conan under the wall, who was preparing to climb over the wall after dark.

Then they heard from the detective badges of the Teitan Three that Jiang Chengbei had found the body and even caught the murderer, Tanaka Tomofumi. The Teitan Three cheered, celebrating that they had not lied.

But Conan and Megure, who were on their way, fell into deep thought: they couldn't even recognize the corpse right in front of them, they couldn't even tell the difference between the living and the dead, how shameful!

The case was solved, the murderer was caught, there was even video footage, and the body was found, but Megure, who arrived at the scene, was not happy.

It's only been a few days since Conan went to various shrines in Tokyo to pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits, and now he's starting to die wherever he goes again. Megure is worried about this.

So, starting that evening, Conan and Inspector Megure began a new round of rituals at the shrine to pray for blessings, ward off evil spirits, and perform a full set of ceremonies.

The last time it worked very well; Conan didn't encounter any murder cases for several days in a row, and in particular, no one died in either of the two cases he encountered. But what will happen this time? Inspector Megure has no idea.

While Conan and Inspector Megure were on another round of visits to Tokyo shrines, another beautiful young woman came to apply for a job at the fruit shop in northern Jiangcheng. This time, the young woman's name was Azuma Mari.

Seeing that Yukiko had finally stopped using the name Fujimine Fumiyo, which would remind Conan of something, Jiang Chengbei didn't make an excuse to send her away and let her stay smoothly.

When Amuro Tooru saw that there was a new colleague in the store, a young girl who was a bit clumsy, he went up to help her.

At the same time, while Jiang Chengbei wasn't paying attention, he secretly revealed the boss's personality to Yukiko in advance, giving her a heads-up:
