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

Page 149

Regardless of what face he saw at the time, after Amuro Tooru's prompting and understanding the entire process, a flash of inspiration struck the culprit, Tonoyama Juzo:

Since a masked man with a gun escaped, and even escaped from the scene of the murder, and fired shots on the way, after committing so many illegal and criminal acts, he shouldn't care about taking another life, right?

"I didn't kill anyone, I'm not the murderer, you police are framing me, take off these handcuffs!"

"What did you say? You just admitted you were the murderer!"

"I was imitating Conan. I thought it would be fun to admit to things that I didn't do in front of the police."

Now that I've experienced Conan's joy, I'm satisfied. I didn't kill anyone. At most, I'm charged with obstructing official business, just like Conan. You can give me a little lecture, that'll be enough. Just let me go!

"You bastard!"

Seeing that Tonoyama Juju had recanted his testimony, Inspector Megure was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Watching Tonoyama Juzo arrogantly recount Conan's past video confession that he was the murderer, and how he and Amuro Tooru lost Jiang Chengbei's chakra substitute doll and returned empty-handed, Conan quickly shrank back and hid behind Jiang Chengbei without saying a word.

This happened so long ago, how come there are still criminals bringing it up and acting like idols?

Ultimately, although Inspector Megure and his team were furious, the case became complicated with Tonoyama Juzo recanting his confession and refusing to admit he was the murderer, and with Amuro Tooru as a witness. In the end, they had no choice but to take Tonoyama Juzo, Amuro Tooru, and the others back to the Metropolitan Police Department, where the case needed to be investigated slowly.

After the police removed the cordon, Conan went into the restroom to continue investigating the case alone. When Jiang Chengbei and the others came out, they saw Sonoko excitedly waving to a handsome guy who had been waiting for someone at the coffee shop.

Jiang Chengbei looked around and found that Conan, who was ruining people's relationships, was not there. Instead, he was left alone in the bathroom to find out the truth. So he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands. He went to Sonoko's side, took out his laptop, and showed her a video of the handsome guy she was dating making a phone call at a coffee shop.

After seeing the images on his computer, Sonoko didn't say a word. She stormed up and slapped the man, then walked away with a queenly gait in her high heels.

While Jiang Chengbei was meddling in other people's business, Xiaolan and her mother finally ran into each other. After talking about what had just happened, they chatted about other things.

Afterwards, through Xiaolan's introduction, Jiang Chengbei and the Miyano sisters met Xiaolan's mother, Eri Kisaki, and then went to a restaurant together for dinner.

While they were having a pleasant meal in Jiangcheng North, Conan also solved the case. After confirming that the muscular man, Tonoyama Juzo, was the real culprit and that the masked man with the gun was just passing by and had been wrongly accused, he went to the Metropolitan Police Department to find Amuro Tooru.

After they lost Jiang Chengbei's chakra substitute doll flying in the sky, Conan asked Amuro Tooru many questions on their way back.

However, Amuro Tooru always harbored doubts about Conan, believing him to be a criminal suspect, so he didn't reveal anything important, only answering some trivial questions at most.

On the way back, they didn't get any useful information from Amuro Tooru, but as soon as Amuro Tooru returned, he wrongly accused the masked man of murder. Conan's detective curiosity was immediately piqued, and he was determined to find out the mystery, so he went to the Metropolitan Police Department to find Amuro Tooru.

After so much time, Amuro Tooru, who went to the Metropolitan Police Department with Tonoyama Juzo, had already made arrangements. After having Kazami Yuya take over the murder case, he had the Metropolitan Police Department issue an arrest warrant for Tennessee.

Although there was no photo of Tennessee and his true appearance was unknown, Amuro Tooru was very clear about his clothing, the mask he wore, and his approximate height and weight, all of which were printed on the wanted poster.

Because the case was used to apprehend the CIA mole in Tennessee, Tonoyama Juzo benefited greatly. With bail from his lawyer, he was released from the Metropolitan Police Department and was able to live freely in the sunlight again.

What happened to Tonoyama Juzo after that is still unknown, but when Amuro Tooru finished doing all this and came out of the Metropolitan Police Department, he was seen by Conan riding on his chakra skateboard. So Conan secretly followed Amuro Tooru home.

Conan had failed in his previous attempts to track Gin and Vodka, but this time he learned from his mistakes and his skills had improved significantly. He actually managed to follow Amuro Tooru to where he was currently staying.

After seeing Amuro Tooru enter Mokuma-sou, 2-23 Beika-cho, greet the landlord in the yard, and then enter the building, Conan felt something was amiss.

Looking at Professor Agasa's house next to the Wooden Horse Manor, and then at the Kudo residence next to Professor Agasa's house, Conan shuddered. Remembering that Amuro Tooru had asked Ran about Shinichi Kudo earlier that day, his bad premonition grew even stronger.

Could it be that his brother, who goes out to commit crimes with his face, has finally been discovered by the police, who then mistakenly believe that all the bad things were done by Shinichi Kudo, and are now coming to arrest him?

With this ominous suspicion, Conan, relying on his status as a child and his ability to answer any question from strangers, quickly learned that Amuro Tooru's rented room was on the top floor, and that the window faced his own house.

Although Professor Agasa's house is in between, it's certain that this public security police officer is targeting him, the "big brother" Shinichi Kudo, which makes Conan extremely frustrated.

It's so upsetting that my own brother has to take the blame for the sins he committed!

Chapter 208 Amuro Tooru finally found Kudo Shinichi

"Black and White, what brings you to my house?"

"You are……"

"My name is Yamaura Kaiichi. I'm from Class A next to yours. Although you don't know me, I know you, Kuro-kun."

Conan was stunned to see a little boy holding a toy car calling him "Black and White" repeatedly.

Fortunately, they were all classmates from the same school. Although they didn't know each other, it was enough that he knew him. So Conan used his ability to answer any question and learned a lot about Amuro Tooru from this little boy named Yamaura Kaiichi.

In return, Conan also accepted the task of investigating the "Yellow Code Name Tenant," whom the little boy called a sneaky lodger, who was acting suspiciously late at night.

After finding out about Amuro Tooru and accepting the little boy's mission, Conan asked curiously:

"Kaiyi, why did you call me Black and White, and even gave the tenant you're investigating a yellow code name?"

"Of course, the colors were chosen based on your characteristics. There's one tenant who often gives me bandages, so I gave him the code name 'white'."

As for why I call you Black and White Lord, that's because..."

"Stop, don't say anymore. Don't tell me the answer. I want to deduce it myself and see if I can figure out why you call me Black and White."

Since Jiang Chengbei has stolen many of the plot cases, Conan, who hasn't had a proper deduction in a long time, interrupts Yamaura Kaiichi and stops him from telling him the reason. Conan wants to use his own abilities to deduce the pattern of how Yamaura Kaiichi gives people nicknames and satisfy his deduction addiction.

It's been so long since I've done any deductions, I'm really feeling pent up.

Perhaps because there are no cases to solve and no riddles to solve, Conan, who has been feeling stifled for too long, now even wants to try his hand at deducing things from the little tenants who give everyone nicknames.

After learning about the situation from Yamaura Kaiichi and accepting the mission, Conan finally felt hungry, since he hadn't had dinner yet. So, dragging his tired body, he rode his chakra skateboard back to Jiangcheng Bei's house.

As for Professor Agasa's house next door, Professor Agasa doesn't know that he is the shrunken Shinichi Kudo. He only thinks that he is a child whose reasoning ability is stronger than that of adults. Moreover, Conan, under Jiang Chengbei's persuasion, does not want to implicate Professor Agasa because of his own affairs, so he does not go to see Professor Agasa.

As for the villa next door, it's now empty, with no one there. His father was implicated by him and was murdered by the distillery, and his mother changed her face and went into hiding. So Conan didn't go back to his house, which was turning into a haunted house.

After skateboarding for a while late at night, Conan, who was starving, finally returned to Jiang Chengbei's place. There, he ran into Jiang Chengbei, Ran, and the Miyano sisters, who had just finished a meal outside.

Hearing Conan's stomach rumbling, Jiang Chengbei and the others realized that something was missing during dinner. They realized that Conan was missing.

"Conan, have you been investigating a case? And you've been investigating a case the whole time, haven't you eaten yet?"

Seeing Ran ask him with concern, Conan nodded, touched: Ran is so kind, she still cares about me so much.

Seeing Conan nod, Ran patted Conan's head: "You really are Shinichi's little brother, your behavior and habits are exactly the same. You forget everything as soon as you encounter a case."

In the past, when Shinichi encountered a case, he would immediately devote himself to it wholeheartedly, and I would often be forgotten by him.

"I didn't expect you to be the same. When there were no cases today, you kept bothering me, but as soon as a case came up, you forgot everything and disappeared. No wonder you're Shinichi's younger brother, or rather, a brother who looks exactly like him."

After exchanging a few words with Conan, Ran went upstairs to go home.

Conan, who went back to the building next door with Jiang Chengbei and the others, was teased by the sharp-tongued little girl Ai Haibara:

"Detective Conan, you went to a coffee shop today, and a murder happened there. The coffee shop owner really suffered an innocent misfortune."

"Luckily, you didn't come with us to the cake shop or the restaurant for dinner, so the owners of those two places escaped unscathed; they're all safe and sound tonight."

Reminded by Ai Haibara, Conan's heart skipped a beat. He had gone to the house next to Professor Agasa's tonight. Would Professor Agasa encounter some undeserved trouble?

Back at Jiang Chengbei's house, since Jiang Chengbei and the other two had already eaten dinner, Conan had to cook noodles for himself.

Seeing that neither Jiang Chengbei nor the Miyano sisters were cooking for him, and that he had to fend for himself, Conan was glad that he was a high school student who had shrunk. Otherwise, if he were really a primary school student and didn't know how to take care of himself, he would definitely have gone hungry today.

After cooking himself a bowl of instant noodles and feeding himself, Conan washed the pots and pans, cleaned the kitchen, and went back to his room to rest.

Lying in bed thinking about Amuro Tooru looking for him to relieve himself, Conan couldn't fall asleep. So, he decided to stay up all night, left Jiang Chengbei's house, and went to the Muma Manor next door to his own house.

Now that he had accepted Yamaura Kaiichi's request to investigate the case of the yellow-clad tenant staying out late at night and doing sneaky things, Conan was determined to investigate thoroughly and give Yamaura Kaiichi a perfect explanation.

After putting on the chakra sunglasses, Jiang Chengbei noticed that Conan hadn't gone to the usual spot where he sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to the moon, but instead went to his house in 2-chome. Jiang Chengbei became curious and told Miyano Akemi. After leaving, he found a secluded spot, transformed into a little chubby bird, and flew over.

Soon, Jiang Chengbei found Conan hiding in Muma Village. Following the direction Conan was watching, Jiang Chengbei flew over and took a look. Then, in this room, he discovered another person, Amuro Tooru, who was also watching with a telescope.

Following the direction Amuro Tooru was tailing, Jiang Chengbei quickly confirmed that the blond-haired, dark-skinned guy was currently tailing the Kudo Shinichi family.

Great, Amuro Tooru is looking for Kudo Shinichi, and Kudo Shinichi, who has become Conan, is watching Amuro Tooru. The two of them could star in a spy drama.

Although it was late, Conan and Amuro Tooru weren't the only ones who weren't sleeping.

While flying around the house, Jiang Chengbei saw two people arguing on the other side of the house.

Then, as they were pushing each other, one of them accidentally pushed the other off the ground. The other person fell to the ground and lay motionless, their fate unknown.

As expected of Conan, he caused a murder as soon as he arrived. Amazing.

Since I saw someone push someone off the building, it's time for me, the eyewitness, to step in.

As Jiang Chengbei transformed into a human not far from the murderer and took a step to go over and see what was happening, he saw the man push someone down the stairs and then take out a lighter and start a fire.

Murder and arson are promising talents; the distillery needs people like that.

After the guy lit the first fire, he looked up and suddenly found that there was another person next to him. This person was leaning out and looking out, and was standing right where the landlord had been pushed off the cliff.

Sure enough, while the murderer was still in a daze, Jiang Chengbei raised his head, then turned back and said in shock:

"Did you push the people down there? And now you're going to set fire to it? Kill them to cover your tracks and then dispose of the bodies?"

Reminded by Jiang Chengbei, Zhenbi Yin, who had already pushed the landlord to his death and set the house on fire, immediately realized what was happening.

Jiang Chengbei happened to be standing where the landlord had fallen, with his body leaning outwards. He was in a situation where he was practically asking for trouble, and if he was pushed, he would die.

So, feeling like she had just slept with someone and had just finished setting a house on fire, and with her adrenaline surging, Makabe Gin casually pushed Jiang Chengbei down.

After pushing Jiang Chengbei down, Makabe Ginya, just like Jiang Chengbei, immediately peered down, hoping that the police would think that the two corpses were together and that they had a fight and fell to their deaths together.

Hoping for a lucky break, but what I saw was only a corpse on the ground.

The young man he had just pushed was standing next to the corpse, happily waving to him!

"Hey, the guy you pushed earlier isn't dead yet. Go call an ambulance! He might still be salvageable."

Hearing Jiang Chengbei's shout, Zhenbi Yin almost peed her pants in fright.

But when he heard Jiang Chengbei say that the landlord he accidentally pushed was not dead, he was at a loss for what to do.

If the landlord dies, and he commits murder and arson, then flees tonight, hides outside for one night, and returns tomorrow pretending nothing happened, he can escape legal punishment.

But now the landlord and the young man who suddenly appeared are still alive, so he needs to finish them off, and kill two more people... No, not two more people, he can't use the word "more" because he hasn't killed anyone yet, and he still needs to overcome the psychological barrier from his first murder!

While Makabe Gin was at a loss as to what to do, Conan and Amuro Tooru, on the other side, heard shouts from behind the building. Upon hearing someone yelling that someone was still alive and needed an ambulance, they immediately dropped everything they were doing and ran over without hesitation.

As Conan ran over, he felt that the voice sounded very familiar, as if he had heard it many times before.

When he ran over here and saw Jiang Chengbei under the moonlight, his eyes narrowed immediately.

The person standing there now is indeed a familiar face. I used to see him every time I looked in the mirror, and I used to hear his voice every day.

If I didn't know that I was Shinichi Kudo, I would have immediately mistaken the person in front of me for Shinichi Kudo.

Conan recognized the person standing in front of him as Shinichi Kudo's brother. Upstairs, Tooru Amuro kicked open the door after smelling the smoke, and when he saw that there was a fire in the room, he quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher and put out the fire that Gin Makabe had lit.

Just now, after Jiang Chengbei shouted that, before Zhenbi Yin could react, there were so many more people, and two of them were hidden masters. Even if Zhenbi Yin, this fat man, wanted to resist, he would not be a match for Amuro Tooru beside him.

Finally, after Amuro Tooru subdued the arsonist, Makabe Ginya, he immediately called the police and an ambulance.
