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

Page 111

Now that you've recognized the gap between you and him, it's the best thing that you've cut your losses and rejected his proposal...

Yukiko: Mature and sensible, what the hell? Are you saying I'm old?

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

Let's put the events involving Conan, Kiko, and Ran aside for now and follow Jiang Chengbei into the eerie, blood-soaked hellish exhibition hall.

"Stop! Mr. Manaka, I'm here to save you!"

When Jiang Chengbei appeared in front of Boss Zhenzhong, Boss Zhenzhong had just been slashed several times and was being lifted up by Director Ochiai, who was wearing armor, just as he was about to be nailed to the wall.

Just as Mr. Manaka was about to die, a medieval helmet flew by and deflected the sword in Director Ochiai's hand, saving Mr. Manaka's life.

"Baka! This is the real deal!!!"

Ochiai, who treats every exhibit here like his own child, can tell at a glance that the helmet that landed on his hand is genuine.

Then, turning around, he picked up the genuine helmet from the exhibit next to him and threw it over, showing no appreciation whatsoever. It was Jiang Chengbei, the bastard who cursed these as trash and junk, just as despicable as Zhen Zhong!

With both old and new grudges, Director Ochiai was truly enraged this time. He roared and temporarily spared the defenseless Manaka, turning his attention to Kojo Kita, who had just arrived in Hell.

Turning his attention to Jiang Chengbei, Director Ochiai had a reason to kill him: Jiang Chengbei had just thrown away a genuine helmet, and now he was dismantling genuine armor and swords on the display stand.

Seeing Jiang Chengbei's current behavior, Director Ochiai, who treated these things like his own children, was furious:

You're just a passerby who saw me killing someone. Instead of running out to call the police, you're carrying real armor and real swords. What are you trying to do?

Jiang Chengbei: What do I want to do? I want to do…

"Mr. Manaka, I'm here to save you!"

Seeing Director Ochiai charging towards him in full armor, he realized there was no time to put on full armor like Director Ochiai.

Let's just accept the loss; it's a way of showing respect to the elderly.

So Jiang Chengbei grabbed the genuine armor and smashed it at Director Ochiai, then grabbed a genuine medieval sword and charged up to slash at Director Ochiai, who was covered in armor.

"You bastard! Stop! How could you do this? You have no sportsmanship!"

Watching his child fly towards him... well, genuine armor. Curator Ochiai quickly retrieved the replica longsword from his hand, then stretched out his arms and carefully embraced the flying armor, very worried about damaging it.

Having successfully caught them and confirmed that they were undamaged after flying through the air, Curator Ochiai hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief when a genuine medieval longsword struck the floor tiles next to him.

"court death!!!"

Seeing his beloved child, the centuries-old medieval longsword struck the modern marble floor tiles, leaving a chip at the tip. Director Ochiai flew into a rage, shouted, and unleashed his life's skill, raising the replica longsword and charging towards Jiangcheng North.

Jiang Chengbei did not back down. Relying on his level 4 swordsmanship, he fought the elderly Mihua Sword Saint with move after move.

"Damn it! If you're so capable, use a fake one instead of the real thing!"

Every time swords clashed, Director Ochiai's heart would tremble, and he would feel heartache for a long time after seeing a new nick on a genuine longsword.

Ochiai: Let's stop fighting, or your sword will break!

Manaka: Stop fighting! If you don't call an ambulance soon, I'm going to bleed to death.

Jiang Chengbei, a level 4 swordsman, and the white-bearded Mikasa Sword Saint were having a lively fight in the Hell Pavilion when Conan, Ran, and Yukiko happened to pass by. They saw a sign prohibiting entry at the entrance of the Hell Pavilion and turned to leave.

As for the sounds coming from the depths of the Hell Pavilion, since the Hell Pavilion is quite large, the battle taking place in the deepest part is a bit far from the entrance, so the sounds of Jiang Chengbei and Director Ochiai's battle did not reach the entrance of the pavilion.

The severely wounded boss, on his deathbed after bleeding to death, enjoyed a spectacular sword duel, which, for him, delayed calling an ambulance. He finally breathed his last, unwilling to accept defeat.

It was his lifelong regret that he didn't get to see Jiang Chengbei defeat Director Ochiai before he died and call an ambulance for him.

Of course, he also hated that his injuries were too severe. He didn't even have the ability to move secretly while Jiang Chengbei and Luohe were fighting fiercely. Otherwise, if he could have moved even a little, he felt that he would definitely have been able to escape.

Alas, his body was too fat and heavy. He was so badly injured that he couldn't move. I don't know how Ochiai, who was thin and old, managed to lift him up with one hand.

Upon discovering that Manaka was dead, and unable to immediately subdue Jiang Chengbei, who was just as despicable as Manaka, Ochiai, the elderly director who was still fighting in heavy armor, finally could not hold on any longer after only managing to fight him to a standstill.

I'm getting old, and my physical strength isn't as good as it used to be.

Besides, if we continue to fight with that shameless Jiang Chengbei, we will only damage more of his children... well, the artworks in the exhibition hall.

So, having come to terms with Director Ochiai, he finally stopped fighting, sat in front of the camera, and took off his helmet with a look of utter despair.

Seeing that Director Ochiai had stopped, Jiang Chengbei quickly called the police and sent Director Ochiai to jail. It would also be a chance for him to change his ways. This white-bearded old man probably wouldn't mind sacrificing himself for others and going all the way to the end, and giving him a little more benefit, right?

Then, while Conan and the others were still happy that Jiang Chengbei, that scumbag, had finally disappeared and they could finally enjoy the exhibits in the art museum in peace after such a long time, Inspector Megure arrived again with a group of his men.

Upon entering the art museum and seeing Conan for the first time, Megure's previously brisk steps vanished instantly, and he stumbled, nearly falling over.

"Conan, what are you doing here?!"

After regaining his balance, the desperate Megure let out a grief-stricken roar, and everyone could hear the depth of his despair in that roar.

"Dad... what's wrong? Why can't I be here?"

Seeing the despair in Megure, Conan also felt despair.

Upon seeing Inspector Megure, Conan was about to call him "Dad" again. Luckily, his biological parents weren't around; otherwise, how desperate would they be to hear him call Inspector Megure "Dad" so naturally? It was unbelievable.

Seeing the interaction between Conan and his son Megure, Yukiko glanced at Conan with disdain and sneered inwardly: "A vixen's son is a vixen's son. He's been shameless since he was a child!"

Yusaku Kudo, listen to this! Your good son calls someone else "Dad" so smoothly. You, a public figure who can't be seen in public, would you dare let your own illegitimate son call you that in public?

I really want to record this scene so that scum like Yusaku Kudo can see his good son's behavior of "whoever feeds me is my father"!

Then, Yukiko recalled that when she impersonated Yusaku Kudo to meet Conan, he also called her so enthusiastically and sincerely. It seems that the vixen's son is quite good at acting and deceiving people!

This 7-year-old is so good at pretending and acting. I really want to see how good his vixen mother's acting skills are!

If your acting is bad and you can't act well, you won't be able to attract a scumbag like Yusaku Kudo!

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

Even if he had a sliver of hope before, after the museum staff led him into the hellish exhibition hall, that last bit of hope vanished.

Seeing the emaciated, fat man lying dead in a pool of blood, Inspector Megure glanced at Conan with despair and muttered:

"Why are you here again? What will happen to Xiaobaihe's wedding if this continues?"

Unlike the despairing Megure, Jiang Chengbei, who had just fought a great battle with Beika Sword Saint, was in a rather good mood.

Thanks to his previous efforts, he earned 2 kill coins from Curator Ochiai, and now he has 14 kill coins. At the same time, he has also accumulated 4 transformations into Conan/Shinichi Kudo.

Meanwhile, the new skill added to the Conan Mall is "Still Vigorous in Old Age," which is very useful in other worlds, but in the Conan world where all of humanity is immortal, this ability seems a bit useless, especially for a 20-year-old like Jiang Chengbei, who is at the peak of his life.

Besides the valuable items he received from Curator Ochiai, he also benefited from the recent death of Boss Manaka. His previous flattery had touched a chord with him, and his subsequent desperate rescue further enhanced his reputation.

Therefore, in Zhenzhong's heart, he regarded Jiang Chengbei as a good person, a close friend with whom he had a deep affection, and almost as his savior.

Even if he couldn't save him, Jiang Chengbei at least did a good job in helping him get revenge and sending his killer, Ochiai, to prison.

However, he couldn't fool himself, nor could he fool the system. Zhenzhong considered Jiang Chengbei a friend, and even though Jiang Chengbei longed to befriend Zhenzhong and have a deep friendship with him, he couldn't fool himself, let alone the system.

Therefore, friendship that is only one-sided can only be considered half. After sacrificing Zhenzhong, Jiang Chengbei can only inherit half of his original abilities.

Of course, Zhenzhong is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't have any powerful skills. Jiang Chengbei only inherited cooking skills from Zhenzhong, and even those skills are only half of what Zhenzhong's.

Jiang Chengbei never expected that Zhenzhong had been a chef before he made his fortune. So, after buying the art museum and converting it into a restaurant, he returned to the industry he was familiar with. Otherwise, if he continued to run the art museum, he would have lost everything.

When Director Ochiai was committing murder, he was caught red-handed by Jiang Chengbei. None of the things he had prepared in advance, his plan to frame Kubota, were used. Instead, he happily received the silver bracelet. How frustrating!

Just like the curator Ochiai, who was frustrated that his planned actions weren't used and that he hadn't managed to kill the equally annoying Jiang Chengbei, Conan was also frustrated.

This was another instance of searching for evidence prepared in advance by the killer, proving that the murder was premeditated rather than a spur-of-the-moment act of passion.

Conan, who encountered the case with Jiang Chengbei, has now transformed from a high school detective who investigates and solves cases into a detective who finds evidence to reconstruct the murderer's original murder plan, proving that it was premeditated murder rather than a crime of passion, and pursuing accountability after the fact. How frustrating!

Why is it that Jiang Chengbei always manages to stumble upon the murderer while he's killing someone, while Conan can't?

Just as Conan was racking his brains, exhausting all his efforts, and about to reveal that he had discovered it was a murder, not a crime of passion, and show off a little,

After resting for a while, the white-bearded old man, now recovered, is telling the police how he made his preparations in advance, how he originally planned to frame Kubota after killing Manaka, explaining everything clearly and plainly.

Damn it, this time he didn't even give me a chance to prove that it was murder and not a crime of passion. If this continues, what kind of famous detective am I?

Chapter 173 Conan, you're the on-site director! How could you not understand the situation at such a crucial moment?

That morning, Yukiko walked briskly to work. She was in a good mood as she walked along the pedestrian street of Beikacho 5-chome, just a few hundred meters from her destination.

A few days ago, she impulsively confessed her feelings to Jiang Chengbei. For a married young woman, confessing to a younger man who is three years older than her son is quite exciting, shameful, and guilt-inducing.

So this is what infidelity is all about – it's so complicated and exciting! No wonder Yusaku Kudo got someone pregnant while he was away!

Especially when Jiang Chengbei said he would buy her a ring, she was so scared that she almost fainted. She was just joking, young people shouldn't take it seriously!

Fortunately, Conan was there, and a murder occurred at the art museum, preventing Jiang Chengbei from going to buy the ring.

If he really buys a ring and proposes to her, Yukiko doesn't know how to refuse!

Young people are impulsive. She only said a few words of confession, and the young man wanted to propose. It's all because she's too charming, and she bewitched the young man so much that he completely lost himself.

Just as Yukiko was basking in the glory of her charm, her wish came true. A strange boy walking towards her suddenly pulled out a wrapped rose from behind his back and slipped it into her hand, saying at the same time:

"Beautiful roses belong to beautiful ladies. Only a lady as beautiful as you deserves to have beautiful roses."

After saying that, the cheerful young man presented a rose, leaving Yukiko completely bewildered, and hurriedly ran away.

Then, Yukiko, both bewildered and smug, hadn't taken two steps when she was given another identical rose and another compliment on her beauty.

Like the first boy who gave her flowers, this young man also ran off after giving her the flowers and his blessings, without giving Yukiko any time to react.

Hahaha... My charm hasn't diminished at all. I still get 100% attention on the street, and the chances of receiving flowers are 100%! Hahaha...

Upon receiving the two roses, Yukiko's confidence exploded. She started wiggling her hips and walking like a cat.

Then, unsurprisingly, every few steps Yukiko received flowers, along with blessings and compliments on her beauty. And it wasn't just young men who gave her flowers; sometimes, couples holding hands would also give her roses and compliment her on her beauty.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, Yukiko was overjoyed. "I'm so charming, I can charm millions of people!" The anxiety she felt after learning that Kudo Yu had cheated on her vanished instantly.

"Xiao Zi, come and see how many roses I received along the way..."

"Truth, you don't need to go to work today. The fruit shop next door to your house has been renovated. Go and take a look."

Before Yukiko could finish showing off, Azusa interrupted her and pushed her to the next room. Yukiko, who was eager to show off, couldn't muster any energy. It was like punching cotton. It was so frustrating that she couldn't share her joy with anyone.

Then, when Yukiko was pushed into the newly renovated fruit shop next door by Azusa, which was decorated like it was Chinese New Year and had balloons, ribbons and flowers everywhere, she was dumbfounded.

With a series of loud bangs, colorful confetti, launched into the air, flew around Yukiko's head and slowly drifted down.

At the same time, background music started playing, and Jiang Chengbei, dressed in a new outfit, suddenly emerged from the crowd, holding a ring box in his hand and walking towards them with deep affection.

Seeing this, the experienced Yukiko immediately realized something, and at the same time, she felt completely numb:
