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

Page 169

"Damn it! How can there be such a heartless and shameless scoundrel in this world? His father was still in a coma, and he just left like that. He's a beast!"

After Tsujimura Isao drove away with Vermouth, Kogoro Mouri, who was left behind, cursed loudly, his heart filled with rage.

Of course, apart from Kogoro Mouri who kept cursing, the others were pretty much the same, except they didn't resort to swearing.

Anyway, after today's incident, they have witnessed the lowest level of morality in the world, and the fact that such a person can become a diplomat shows that this country is truly beyond saving.

While staying at the Tsujimura residence, Kogoro Mouri and his companions treated Toshimitsu Tsujimura, constantly condemning the inhuman Tsujimura Isao, and discussing Tsujimura Kimie's attempted murder and the matter of Tsujimura Isao framing his colleague Kenji Yamashiro twenty years ago.

They kept discussing things at the Tsujimura residence. While driving, Tsujimura Isao flirted with Bei Jie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and followed the directions Bei Jie gave him, driving towards the increasingly remote and sparsely populated suburbs.

After arriving at a deserted lakeside in the suburbs, Bei Jie, who had been teased the whole way, finally got Tsujimura Isao to stop the car and get out, and went to the lakeside.

Lust is a double-edged sword. Blinded by beauty, the fat Tsujimura Isao was oblivious to his impending doom and obediently did as Bayonetta instructed.

After Tsujimura Isao stood by the lake as Bayonetta instructed, Bayonetta didn't waste any words. She pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Tsujimura Isao's head, not even giving him a chance to leave a last word or die knowing why. She fired directly, ready to blow his head off.

Unfortunately, Sister Bay has been out of action for many years and her marksmanship is not very good. She fired several shots but failed to hit the target, becoming the world's greatest out-of-target marksman.

"Who the hell are you?"

After several shots missed, Sister Bay realized something was wrong. She fired at Tsujimura Isao while shouting questions at him.

At the same time, remembering how Tsujimura Isao had managed to grab Tsujimura Kimie's hand when he was about to stab him in the neck with a poisoned needle, Sister Bay realized that she had overlooked something so important. It turned out that this seemingly lewd and wicked fat man was actually a master. She had been careless.

After emptying her magazine without hitting the sneaky and agile fat guy, Bayonetta soon faced a major crisis in her life.

When this fat guy who could dodge bullets rushed up and got close to her, she was surprised to find that she was no match for him.

This fatso may be inhuman, but he's really good at fighting and incredibly agile. All those hundreds of pounds of fat on his body are wasted; they don't hinder his nimble movements at all.

She couldn't beat the fat man in close combat. Even after she pulled out the few pistols she had left, she was still no match for Tsujimura Isao. He kicked her away or knocked them out of her hands before she could even aim, leaving her powerless to fight back.

During her fierce fight with Tsujimura Isao, she was on the lower side and Tsujimura Isao quickly tore off her human skin mask, revealing her blonde Western face hidden beneath the mask.

"I didn't expect you to be wearing a human skin mask, and you're actually a foreign girl. I like it, hahaha..."

With Tsujimura Isao's arrogant laughter, he rushed up and started beating Vermouth again. During the beating, the transmitter and listening devices on Vermouth's body were finally destroyed, and the Miyano sisters, who were eavesdropping on Vermouth being beaten badly at home, finally lost their signal.

The Miyano sisters, having removed their chakra-tracking sunglasses, glanced at each other, noticing the lingering excitement on each other's faces, and clapped their hands.

"Vermouth isn't scary at all. She even has a gun. In the end, she's a complete weakling. She got beaten up by a heartless and despicable diplomat. She's no match for him at all. She's really useless."

The Miyano sisters were gloating at home, but Vermouth, who was beaten up by the lake, had a much worse experience. After being beaten up and losing the ability to resist, she was stripped naked, tied up, and then pinned down and beaten by a fat man for several hours.

A few hours later, although the humiliated Sister Bei survived, she could only watch helplessly as the fat man who had assaulted her walked away after having his fun.

After Tsujimura Isao drove away, Vermouth, who had suffered humiliation, did not cry like the other young girls. Instead, she wiped herself in pain, put on her clothes, and left.

Not long after, Vermouth changed her clothes and tidied herself up, then went to a secret hideout. After staying there for a while, she drove a black sedan to the Tsujimura residence.

Through his binoculars, he observed the Tsujimura residence for a while and discovered that the fat man, Tsujimura Isao, had returned home and was now pacing back and forth in his study.

Meanwhile, it seems that Ran and the others are no longer around. For the sake of her beloved angel, Vermouth called Mari Azuma in her own voice to ask what she was doing. She learned that they had all gone to the hospital and were waiting for the doctors to save Toshimitsu Tsujimura.

After hanging up the phone, Sister Bei lit a cigarette, then took out all the RPGs in the car and started firing one after another at the location of Tsujimura Isao.

Dozens of RPGs were unleashed into Tsujimura Isao's study as if they were free. After seeing the Tsujimura residence reduced to ruins and the fat Tsujimura Isao torn to pieces by RPGs in her eyes, Bayonetta drove away and fled from that hellhole.

A few days later, Vermouth, disguised as a police officer, learned from the Metropolitan Police Department that the severed limbs and mangled body fragments found in the Tsujimura residence were indeed those of Tsujimura Isao, and that DNA testing confirmed it was also that fat man. Only then did she give a cruel smile, and the matter was closed.

As a seasoned female assassin and actress who has spent decades in the winery and Hollywood, she has seen it all. There's nothing she can't accept about sleeping with someone, but if you force her, she'll have to pay with her life, no matter who it is!

On the other hand, Jiang Chengbei, after obtaining 4 Kill Coins from Tsujimura Kimie and Vermouth, added Tsujimura Kimie's Poison Needle Launching skill to his Science Shop, as well as several of Vermouth's abilities, such as Disguise, Voice Changing, Charm, and Fighting.

Seeing that Charm could enhance his image, Jiang Chengbei spent 1 Kill Coin to buy Charm, a soft power skill that adds icing on the cake but doesn't increase his hard power.

After Jiang Chengbei bought the Charm item, his good friend Xiaolan would sometimes secretly watch him.

Xiaolan's changes were subtle; even when she peeked, it was done quietly. But after her chance encounter with Yuanzi, her changes became significant. Before, she only swooned over handsome strangers and was so bold that she didn't know what shyness was, bravely rushing up to express her love. Now, when she sees Jiang Chengbei, she also rushes up to confess her feelings without any shame, turning into someone who preys on familiar faces.

Anyway, ever since he bought the charm skill, Jiang Chengbei has become much more popular with women.

For example, when Xiaolan found a part-time job as a weekend model, she not only called her father, Kogoro Mouri, for courage when she went for the interview, but she also called Jiang Chengbei.

Ran went to a modeling audition and wanted to invite Jiang Chengbei along. Since Jiang Chengbei's charm has increased, Conan, the "King of Jealousy in Asia," and Ai Haibara, Jiang Chengbei's sister-in-law, were immediately unhappy. The two little ones insisted on going along.

Finally, as Jiang Chengbei and his group drove to the clothing company where they were applying for part-time model positions, they talked about what had happened at the Tsujimura diplomat's house a few days ago.

Because of the terrorist attack that later occurred at the Tsujimura residence, Tsujimura Isao was blown to pieces by dozens of RPGs. Kogoro Mouri and the others sighed and kept telling the story of that day to Jiang Chengbei, a guy who hadn't gone to the Tsujimura residence, criticizing all of Tsujimura Isao's inhumane behavior.

Hearing Kogoro Mouri and his friends still indignant and cursing Tsujimura Isao, Jiang Chengbei felt a little regretful. It's a pity that Sister Bei wasn't here. If she were, she would definitely hate Tsujimura Isao even more than you bystanders.

At the same time, I was also thinking to myself, thank goodness you guys didn't stay at Tsujimura's house, otherwise you might have been blown to smithereens in a fit of anger.

Jiang Chengbei wasn't interested in what happened at the Tsujimura family's place; he was more interested in the clothing company that Xiaolan was going to interview with today, so he inquired about the company.

Based on his previous experience watching Conan episodes, Jiang Chengbei knew that a murder was likely to occur in a storyline involving Conan and the entire Mori family. Therefore, in order to gather more information, Jiang Chengbei began to inquire about the situation in great detail.

Through Xiaolan's introduction, Jiang Chengbei learned that the president of the clothing company Xiaolan was going to interview for was named Toya Eiko. In addition to being the president, she was also a famous fashion designer and a successful woman. However, recently, her clothing company seemed to be in a crisis. It seemed that her competitor had released a new clothing line a few weeks ago, and her new fashion line, which she was originally scheduled to release around this time, seemed to be embroiled in a plagiarism scandal. It seemed that her unreleased new line had plagiarized the clothing that her competitor had released a few weeks ago, and now it was in a difficult situation, and her new line could not be released.

"Xiao Lan, I'm shocked after hearing your story. You actually applied for a part-time job at a company that's in trouble."

Shouldn't companies facing such operational difficulties be laying off employees? Why would they need to hire new part-time models? Have they already secured new clothing lines?

Or perhaps their rival company is giving Ran a job interview specifically to completely destroy this company, so that you, Ran, can bring Conan along and utterly ruin this struggling business?

"Jiang Cheng, don't say that. I finally found a part-time job. Don't think so badly of me."

"Anyway, I have a bad feeling that there will be bloodshed and bad luck today, so I'd better not go up. I'll wait for you down here."

Upon arriving near the clothing company Xiaolan had mentioned, Jiang Chengbei changed his mind after finding an underground parking lot. He made up an excuse not to go with them and stayed in the car to wait for them.

Upon learning that Jiang Chengbei wouldn't be going with them, Conan and Ai were overjoyed. They jumped out of the car and followed the Mori father and daughter to the clothing company that Ran had mentioned.

After Conan and the others left, Jiang Chengbei, who hadn't gotten out of the car, didn't get out. But a small white bird flew out of the car, and then the car was empty. Without Jiang Chengbei, it became an empty car with the doors closed.

Upon arriving at the building where the clothing company was located, Xiaolan and her friends had just entered the lobby on the first floor when they were fortunate enough to run into the company president, Eiko Toya, and her secretary, Mika Taniguchi.

Although Eiko Toya's company had encountered troubles and many worries during this period, she still forced a smile when she saw Ran and the others who came for the interview, and she was still polite on the surface.

However, as her secretary, Mika Taniguchi was aloof and expressionless, showing no interest or enthusiasm towards anyone, with a cold and indifferent expression, as if everyone owed her money.

While Xiaolan was greeting and talking to them, Jiang Chengbei, who had followed them in, placed chakra transmitters and listening devices on the two newly appeared women, monitoring their every move.

Because they split up and took different elevators to different floors, Jiang Chengbei had no choice but to randomly select one of the two and follow President Toya Eiko to the 15th floor, the president's exclusive floor.

Because Eiko Toya takes the president's private elevator that goes directly from the 1st floor to the 15th floor without stopping in between, Mika Taniguchi, the president's secretary, can only take the regular elevator next to it to go to the 8th floor.

As for why we should follow the company president, it's because this is the world of Detective Conan. In the world of Detective Conan, if we don't follow the company president who has the most unfortunate fate, why would we follow an ordinary working-class company president and secretary?

After following President Eiko Toya to the 15th floor, Jiang Chengbei immediately sensed something was wrong. He saw Eiko Toya take out her cell phone, dial Mika Taniguchi's number, and ask her to come up. Then she put down the bouquet of flowers in her hand, took out a knife, and waited at the elevator door.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengbei could easily guess that the murderer was the company president. So he quickly flew out of the window and down a few floors to intercept Taniguchi Mika, who was about to take the elevator up.

Chapter 233 Only a struggling singer sings his signature songs in private karaoke sessions.

When the elevator finally arrived at the 15th floor and opened, she saw that the person inside was none other than Mika Taniguchi, whom she had summoned by phone. Eiko Toya, who was prepared, immediately grabbed a knife and stabbed forward.

"Um?

what! ”

As expected, the knife was to pierce her heart. She had practiced this move countless times at home, honing it to perfection, reaching the pinnacle of skill, capable of killing with a single blow. She had been very successful in her previous practice, but today, on her first attempt, things went wrong. Before the tip of the knife even touched her clothes, her hand holding the knife was seized by a pair of large, inhuman hands. With a twist, Toya Eiko screamed, and the knife fell to the ground. Then, she was kicked in the abdomen, flying backward as her twisted wrist was finally released. Her back slammed against the wall behind her, and finally, her body slid painfully to the ground.

Eiko Toya, who failed to kill and was instead kicked away, looked at her secretary "Mika Taniguchi" in the elevator across the street with a pained expression. This secretary had stolen her design drawings and sold them to her rival company, but Eiko had no evidence and couldn't do anything about her. She had already submitted her resignation, and today was her last day. She had successfully escaped.

Seeing that Mika Taniguchi smiled at her in the elevator, and then pressed the elevator button to go downstairs, Eiko Toya, who was clutching her lower abdomen and looking pained, was furious.

Ignoring Eiko Toya, who was beaten instead of getting revenge, Jiang Chengbei, the cross-dressing master, got 2 kill coins and took the elevator downstairs whistling after the new skill "Clothing Design" was added to the Conan Mall.

Since there were no cameras in the elevator, we waited for it to stop on the 13th floor below. When the door opened, there was no "Mika Taniguchi" who had taken the elevator downstairs before. Only a small, chubby bird flew out and then flew out of the building.

Jiang Chengbei waited in the parking lot for a while and finally realized that Toya Eiko, who had failed to kill once, could not muster the courage to kill Taniguchi Mika, who was stronger than her, again. Moreover, Taniguchi Mika did not mention the previous attempted murder and the beating she had suffered. In the end, the murder that was supposed to happen today was temporarily abandoned because Toya Eiko misjudged the difference in strength between them and thought that she was no match for Taniguchi Mika.

Since no murder occurred this time and the murderer was not arrested by Jiang Chengbei, he drove away.

After Jiang Chengbei left and returned home, he had originally asked Xiaolan to interview for a part-time model job in order to find an alibi. However, he misjudged the opponent's strength. He was no match for her and couldn't kill anyone, so the murder didn't happen. Xiaolan's alibi was no longer needed. As a result, Xiaolan's trip today was in vain. She failed the interview in the end and did not get the temporary job as a part-time model.

Xiaolan was very upset about not getting the job, and the next day she told her best friend Yuanzi about it.

Xiaolan confided in her friend, and to cheer her up, Sonoko immediately offered Xiaolan an opportunity to meet her idol and attend his party.

Thanks to the opportunity provided by the school, this new week, after only one day of school, has come to the weekend, and the week is over.

When the weekend came, Sonoko excitedly came to find Ran to attend an idol party.

Since Jiang Chengbei gained a lot of charm after purchasing Bei Jie's abilities, Sonoko no longer cared that Jiang Chengbei had a girlfriend. While looking for Xiao Lan, she enthusiastically invited Jiang Chengbei to attend an idol's private gathering.

If Xiaolan and Sonoko go out together, it's to see their idols. In the original drama, which idol wouldn't be doomed if they met Xiaolan?

Aside from Yoko Okino, who is protected by Kogoro Mouri, eight out of ten idols that Ran has ever met end up being sent to their deaths. The rest are either kidnapped or end up in the hospital for emergency treatment. Very few of them survive unscathed.

Sensing something was amiss, Jiang Chengbei immediately agreed, happily preparing to drive Xiaolan Yuanzi to the idol gathering, even if he didn't know which idol it was, he was still going.

Following two high school students to an idol gathering, despite having already paid her dues every day, she encountered an even tougher bull than a paddy field. Miyano Akemi didn't stop them, fearing that if Jiang Chengbei were left behind, she would be the one to suffer.

Last time, Vermouth, who had a grudge against the sisters, appeared. This thousand-faced witch appeared in an unknown form, and Ai Haibara was terrified of her. Just thinking of her name filled her with fear. These days, she didn't dare to go out at all and stayed at home in peace.

Therefore, the only ones who went out to the idol party with Ran and Sonoko were Jiang Chengbei... and Conan.

That's right. As the king of jealousy in Asia, even though Jiang Chengbei now has a girlfriend, Miyano Akemi, and even though his ex-girlfriend, "Azuma Mari," was found a few days ago, Conan still can't let go of Jiang Chengbei. He still shamelessly insists on going with Jiang Chengbei and the others to attend that idol's party.

On the way, although Sonoko kept it a secret, Jiang Chengbei still asked which idol they were going to meet at the gathering after he spoke up.

After learning from Sonoko that they were going to meet the Rex Band, and from Xiaolan, who was a die-hard fan of celebrities, that the lead singer of the Rex Band was a person named Tatsuya Kimura, Jiang Chengbei kept asking Xiaolan and Sonoko about Tatsuya Kimura.

Not long after, Jiang Chengbei and his friends went to the KTV where the Rex Band was having a team-building event and joined the gathering that was originally only for members of the Rex Band.

Upon entering the KTV room, after everyone introduced themselves, Jiang Chengbei secretly set his sights on Kimura Tatsuya, the guy with the spiky hair, yellow hair, and a foul mouth who called everyone ugly or insulted them.

Handsome, foul-mouthed, and the lead singer of the band Rex, the most important person in the band, I heard he's going solo and is preparing to sign with a new entertainment company. If someone like that doesn't die, who will?

They found the person who was to be killed, but couldn't remember who was present and how he was to be killed.

However, with so many people gathered together, it seems inconvenient to use knives and guns. It is difficult to use knives and guns without alerting those present, and it is also not easy to hide the murder weapon after killing someone.

With so many people, especially in a KTV, it's the easiest place to poison someone. They can put poison in the food and drinks, especially beverages and alcohol. It's not unusual for people to get thirsty while singing and then drink some water and be poisoned.

Having learned from the experience of the last Valentine's Day party where that foul-mouthed handsome guy, Minagawa Katsuhiko, was poisoned to death, it's still possible to get 1 kill coin this time if I can find the source of the poison in advance.

However, last time everyone was poisoned, and there was an antidote, so it was possible for me to be reckless and taste the poison. But this time I don't remember where I was poisoned, and I don't know if there is an antidote. The universal antidote in the system costs 1 kill coin, which is just enough for the reward I get if I die from poisoning. So, if I go back and forth, 1 kill coin will just be enough to buy the antidote. Wouldn't that be a waste of time and not earn me any money?

As Jiang Chengbei thought this, he sat in the corner with his laptop, looking at Tatsuya Kimura's information and videos of his stage performances.

Compared to the others who were chatting with each other or singing into microphones, Jiang Chengbei, who was hiding in a corner looking at his computer, seemed a bit abnormal.
