Conan, now back in Shinichi Kudo, looked down and saw his good friend Conan, a tiny guy barely taller than his knees.
Wearing the same old blue suit, holding a red bow tie, and with his glasses gleaming, he looked at him with a sinister smile while reciting what he had just said in his own voice.
Face to face, they openly and brazenly stole his voice. This sudden change completely startled Conan, who had just been trying to show off and relive the new dream.
Conan, now back in Shinichi Kudo, was prepared for assassination attempts and schemes from his own brother, but he never expected that this little guy would dare to appear so openly and brazenly in front of him with such a small body.
Upon realizing that this little guy was the serial gunman responsible for four deaths, Conan's face lit up with joy. He remembered the confession video he had recorded in his Conan form the night before, and his heart was filled with delight.
Now he has transformed back into Shinichi Kudo, and he still has the confession video in Conan form. Although there is no real evidence, the details of the crime he recounted in the video are the result of his painstaking deduction, and they are almost identical to the facts. It is entirely possible to establish that the crime was committed by Conan.
With this video recording, and now having caught my good brother, who had been hiding for over ten days and hadn't shown his face, back in the form of Conan Shinichi Kudo, I immediately felt that the advantage was in my hands and the situation was completely under my control. At the same time, a smug smile appeared on my face.
Jiang Chengbei originally wanted to imitate Conan in the later stages of the story, imitating the target's voice in front of him, holding a bow tie and saying a few words in his voice, and then knocking him unconscious with a needle after seeing his face revealed.
Then, afterwards, the target was completely unaware of what had just happened, and even those who stood by and witnessed the whole process, such as Inspector Megure and Takagi, did not notice any flaws.
They watched helplessly as the target, without moving their mouth, uttered a few words of surprise, then danced an opening dance with exaggerated gestures, and finally sat back down on the ground, head down, solving the case without moving their mouth.
Throughout the entire process, whether during the event or in post-event review, no one noticed anything amiss.
If you say it lowers intelligence, then it really does; if you say it's unreasonable, then it really is unreasonable.
But it's so refreshing!
After transmigrating into the world of Detective Conan, Jiang Chengbei always wanted to imitate Conan's later antics, performing in the very center of the stage without anyone around him noticing.
Now that the opportunity had come, Jiang Chengbei imitated Conan's voice face-to-face in front of Conan, who had transformed back into Shinichi Kudo, and after stunning him, he spoke a long speech.
At the same time, with police officers such as Megure and Takagi, as well as a group of suspects and murderers, standing in the center of the stage, under their gaze, he finished speaking in the voice of Shinichi Kudo.
By the time Shinichi Kudo reacted, raised his hand, pointed at him, and was about to speak, Jiang Chengbei slowly raised his wrist, pressed a switch, and flipped up the watch's crosshair sight.
He was taking advantage of Shinichi Kudo's illness, disability, and intoxication. After Shinichi could only watch helplessly, his mind and body reacted a beat slower, Jiang Chengbei pressed the switch and, with a sinister smile, shot Shinichi Kudo unconscious, who had only managed to utter the word "you."
Having caught a cold and fever, drunk alcohol, and now injected with an anesthetic, Shinichi Kudo staggered and began to dance. As he started to gesticulate wildly and back away, he heard his own voice again.
"You...you...no...impossible! Even I, Shinichi Kudo, couldn't solve this case, how could a kid like you, Conan, possibly solve it..."
As he listened to his opponent's comments criticizing his main account, Shinichi Kudo's mind became increasingly confused.
Thankfully, I've transformed back now. Before transforming, I even had a Conan-style confession video recorded on it. Even if he had ambushed me again today, my reputation would have been even worse than his.
But the ultimate victor will be himself. As long as the anesthesia wears off and he wakes up, he can send him to the police station.
Unfortunately, she had foreseen his appearance, that he would come to kill her, that he would resort to violence, that he would come with a gun to take her life, that he would come to replace her. She had prepared herself, and she had even set a trap for him...
I had made all the preparations, just waiting for him to be caught, but I never expected him to show up openly and give me a shot with just a watch-sized tranquilizer gun...
He imitated my voice right in front of me and even gave me an anesthetic injection in front of me. All of this happened in front of everyone, in full view of the public. You all stood by and watched, were you all blind?
Didn't you all see that? He shot me with a tranquilizer dart!
With his right hand pointing straight at Jiangcheng North, after a few frantic roars in his mind, Shinichi Kudo finally found the wall. He leaned against it, his legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, his head hitting his chest. He then entered the state of a sleeping Shinichi Kudo.
Although Shinichi Kudo was asleep, the room was still filled with his voice:
"I, Shinichi Kudo, have hidden away at Yamane-dera Temple, preparing to find a place nearby to become a monk, all to avoid you, you elementary school student who defeated me!"
I've already hidden here, Conan Edogawa! Why are you still coming to find me?
Since you still won't let me go, then I, Shinichi Kudo, will not be polite!
Okay, I'll admit it publicly now: I, Shinichi Kudo, am no match for you. I, a high school student, have been defeated by an elementary school student.
"Conan Edogawa, I don't want to see you again. Please, let me go. I just want some peace and quiet!"
Hearing Shinichi Kudo's words, Inspector Megure's expression darkened. He had been holding back against Shinichi for a long time, but now he finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted:
"Enough, Shinichi Kudo! Conan's name is now Inspector Megure Conan. Stop talking nonsense. Conan is my son now, and his surname is Inspector Megure, not Edogawa!"
"Conan, did you get this?"
Seeing Inspector Megure's anger, Jiang Chengbei, the voice actor for Shinichi Kudo, immediately felt embarrassed:
Oh? Sorry, Inspector Megure, I forgot that Conan's surname isn't Edogawa. I got a little too excited while imitating Conan and forgot.
Chapter 91 Conan's Clever Moves
In front of everyone, he openly imitated Shinichi Kudo's voice and even knocked Shinichi Kudo unconscious in front of everyone. He did it so openly and arrogantly.
Surprisingly, just like in the original series, no one felt anything was wrong or anything felt out of place. Jiang Chengbei suddenly realized that the "brain-degrading halo" and the "ignoring-the-blindness halo" were quite useful.
Online, people are complaining that in the original series, Megure and Takagi just watched Conan stand in the center and perform, but turned a blind eye to his obvious stunts, acting like they were blind.
But in reality, there are real-life counterparts. For example, the author of this online novel couldn't even spot the many typos in the book, acting like he was blind to them, just like Megure and Takagi.
After imitating Conan's antics and putting on a Conan impersonation show, Jiang Chengbei finally found the evidence he had discovered on Conan, who had transformed back into Shinichi Kudo. He immediately identified Xiu Nian, who wore black-rimmed glasses, as the culprit and explained his modus operandi.
During the explanation of the case, Inspector Megure finally noticed that Conan wasn't sick, so he asked him about it with concern.
Jiang Chengbei didn't care and casually made up an excuse that his cold had been transferred to Shinichi Kudo and would be transferred back later.
Jiang Chengbei's excuse was absurd, something even a fool wouldn't believe, but Inspector Megure still believed it. He even remarked that Conan and Shinichi were indeed brothers, with a deep bond, that he could even take the illness for the other. He wondered if taking the medicine for the other would be effective.
The absurd conversation between Jiang Chengbei and Megure was just a minor episode in the process of solving the case, not worth mentioning.
Soon, Jiang Chengbei proved that Xiu Nian was the murderer, and in the end, he confessed to it himself.
After being taken away by the police, Jiang Chengbei had one more opportunity to use his Conan/Shinichi Kudo transformation skill.
The fact that this case was able to be solved by Jiang Chengbei is thanks to the discovery of the tape that was washed away by the water downstream of the waterfall, which had the fingerprints of the murderer, Xiu Nian, on it.
In a normal world, once evidence with the killer's fingerprints is found, it would be immediately handed over to the police, who would then compare it with the suspects at the scene, and the killer would be found very quickly.
But in the world of Detective Conan, it's not like that.
Even if evidence with the murderer's fingerprints is found, it is not handed over to the police. Instead, it is kept in the police's possession. The fingerprints are not immediately compared with the physical evidence. Instead, the murderer is identified through reasoning before the fingerprints are compared with the physical evidence.
The physical evidence and fingerprints here are not tools for finding the murderer and solving the case, but rather props used to prove that the reasoning is correct after the reasoning has been completed.
It was precisely because of the extra step of using deduction to find the culprit that the case was able to be dragged out until Jiang Chengbei took over, stealing Conan's head, giving him another chance to complete the mission, and another opportunity to transform into Conan/Shinichi Kudo.
The case was solved, and the Detective Conan Theorem kicked in again, causing Shinichi Kudo, who had been under anesthesia, to wake up immediately.
Upon waking up, Shinichi Kudo saw that Jiang Chengbei, who had transformed into Conan, was still there. He immediately jumped out and shouted to everyone:
"Dad...call everyone here, Inspector Megure, I have something important to announce!"
"What is it, Kudo? You'd better hurry up and tell me. I don't have much time to waste with you. If this is another test of your appeal, then don't say a word."
After Shinichi Kudo failed to help in the murder case multiple times, and now that he has Conan, Inspector Megure has finally become a little colder towards Shinichi Kudo and is not as enthusiastic as before.
Recalling the scheme his perverted brother plotted against him before he fell asleep, Shinichi Kudo gritted his teeth in hatred. However, all of this was about to end, and he, Shinichi Kudo, was finally about to make his triumphant return. He was immediately filled with excitement.
"Inspector Megure, this is definitely not a test of your influence!"
Instead, I want to announce that I, Shinichi Kudo, have found the serial killer in the Beika Library shooting, the Beika Elementary School teacher shooting, and the Nakamoto Katsuhiko shooting!
Hearing Conan, now back to Shinichi Kudo, speak so decisively, Inspector Megure's previously cold attitude instantly changed, and he quickly put on a smile, saying:
"Brother Kudo, who is the murderer? Tell me right now."
"The culprit is Megure Conan, formerly known as Edogawa Conan. These cases were committed when he was Edogawa Conan."
Conan, now back to Shinichi Kudo, pointed at Jiang Chengbei, who had transformed into Conan, and smugly prepared to say:
"Justice will not fail, it will only be delayed. Conan, you have committed so many murders, and only these four have been investigated so far, but that is enough to put you in jail for life."
I will investigate the rest one by one, find out who you deserve, and make sure you receive the punishment you deserve!
"With me here, you won't get hurt, Xiaolan! I'll protect her perfectly well!"
Faced with Conan's smugness, Jiang Chengbei didn't refute him, but just shrugged indifferently and didn't say anything more, as if it were none of his business.
Jiang Chengbei, now transformed into Conan, showed no reaction, his expression indifferent. Inspector Megure, however, couldn't accept this and immediately angrily berated Conan, who had become Shinichi Kudo:
"Shinichi Kudo, don't spread rumors! How could Conan be the murderer? This is slander! This is defamation! I know you have a personal grudge against Conan, but you can't frame him like this!"
"I framed him? Hehehe..." Feeling confident of victory, Shinichi Kudo smiled smugly and continued loudly:
"Inspector Megure, I have evidence to prove that Conan is a serial gunman."
"My evidence is in your house, Inspector Megure. In the bathroom of the bedroom Conan lives in, under the toilet bowl cover, there's a CD in a waterproof bag, taped shut. It contains a video of Conan confessing to his crimes."
After saying all this, having stayed at the Megure residence for so many days, Shinichi Kudo knew best the Megure couple's love for Conan. Fearing they might act rashly and protect Conan, Shinichi then instructed Takagi:
"Takagi, call Officer Shiratori and tell him what happened. Tell him to go to the place I mentioned and find the evidence right away, quick."
Urged on by Shinichi Kudo, Takagi obediently took out his phone, then looked at Inspector Megure without saying a word or taking any action.
At this moment, Megure was furious and roared at Shinichi Kudo, "Shinichi Kudo!"
However, he, who was originally quite righteous, now doesn't know what to do.
Seeing that they were all standing there dumbfounded and didn't know what to do, Jiang Chengbei felt that he needed to say something.
I just gained the ability to transform into Conan/Shinichi Kudo, all thanks to Conan. And how could I be in the Conan world right now without Conan's missions? That's all thanks to Conan too.
We should never forget those who helped us. Conan has been so kind to me, so I should give back.
Conan's latest wish is to expose what he's hiding in the bathroom, so Jiang Chengbei decides to help him fulfill his wish. Then he comes out and says:
"Takagi, make the call and have Officer Shiratori lead a search of the restroom. We should trust Shinichi Kudo; I think he makes a lot of sense."
Seeing Conan nod and smile so confidently, Megure suddenly understood: only a person with an open heart and no fear can show such a sunny and confident smile.
Conan is such a good kid, how could he be a serial gunman? I was just so angry that I lost my mind.
When faced with slander from others, the best course of action is to openly and honestly allow them to search your property. Ideally, they should find nothing, thus proving your innocence.
Having realized this, Megure felt reassured and mistakenly assumed that Conan didn't care about others searching his room and bathroom because he believed he was innocent. So he nodded to Takagi and told him to inform Shiratori to go to his own bedroom bathroom to find evidence.
With the consent of Megure and Conan, the two owners of the room, no search warrant was needed. Takagi immediately told Shiratori, who was staying at the Metropolitan Police Department, what had happened there.
Seeing that the Conan in front of him had actually given up and agreed to let the police search for evidence in the bathroom, Conan, now transformed into Shinichi Kudo, immediately felt like he had returned as a king. He thought he was so cool now!
"Conan, you can't escape this time. You should also take legal responsibility for what you've done in the past."
Although the current criminal law can't really do anything for a child your age, so many lives have been lost, and you... um? Ah? Ah! Ah…”
As Shinichi Kudo was speaking happily, he suddenly started sweating profusely, his clothes instantly soaked with sweat. At the same time, he felt pain in his chest, followed by pain in his heart, stomach, liver, and his whole body.
Shinichi Kudo was all too familiar with this excruciating pain. He first experienced it a little over ten days ago. The pain woke him from his coma, then made him faint again, and finally turned him into a child.
The second time he felt pain was just recently. I thought this was the last time he would feel pain, and that he would recover after the pain and never have to be a child again.
