Seeing the three bandits being knocked down and tied up, the captured SAT sniper, Koichi Yamabe, felt that he had no opportunity to use his superior intelligence.
Just after he fired his gun on the top floor of the abandoned building, he saw the reflection of a telescope on the other side of the river.
Of course, the reflection wasn't created by Jiang Chengbei, but by Conan after hearing the gunshots and observing the situation through his binoculars.
As for why Conan has a telescope?
That's simple. Before, Mitsuhiko and Genta made a wish to Jiang Chengbei, wanting a telescope to see the beautiful scenery in the distance. So, the robot cat Jiang Chengbei casually tossed them a telescope.
After hearing the gunshot, Conan picked up his binoculars and saw that there were thugs with pistols and a sniper being held hostage in the abandoned building across the street.
After his three friends took turns using binoculars to see what was happening, they ignored Jiang Chengbei's words and all four of them ran over with him.
However, they were too short-legged to be as fast as Jiang Chengbei. By the time they got here, Jiang Chengbei had already taken care of the matter.
Of course, because Jiang Chengbei had captured all three armed bandits, the sniper information that Yamabe Koichi had left on his calculator after seeing the reflection from Conan and the others' binoculars—the time and location on it—which he had spent a long time figuring out, became useless.
Jiang Chengbei obtained 6 kill coins from the three gunmen who fired the shots, and also received three new skills closely related to criminals in the Ke Xue Mall:
Kidnapping and concealment, kidnapping and transportation, kidnapping and coercion.
Kidnapping and hiding: When you kidnap someone, hide them in a relatively secluded place or a place where few people usually go. Unless there are special circumstances, this place will not be discovered.
Kidnapping and Transportation: When you kidnap someone and drive them to another location, if you hide or conceal it slightly, people without special abilities will not realize that the person is a kidnapped hostage.
Kidnapping threat: Once you kidnap someone, as long as they are not a special group, they will generally obey if you threaten them.
These three skills are useless now, but who knows, they might come in handy someday, just like the painter's copying skills, which were used in learning disguise and enhanced the similarity of his human skin masks.
Having caught three kidnappers, obtained the money, and upgraded his skills, Jiang Chengbei then took out his phone to call the police.
Jiang Chengbei called the police, while Yamabe Koichi interrogated them about where he had locked his girlfriend, demanding an honest confession.
Although Yamabe Koichi was a policeman, they were desperate criminals who dared to kidnap even police officers and wanted to kill even prosecutors. They were remnants of a gang, so he didn't say a word.
Seeing Yamabe Koichi as a hostage, still asking the kidnappers about his detention location, Jiang Chengbei Conan initially had some doubts. However, after seeing a black cloth bag in the car and learning from Yamabe Koichi that he was always wearing a hood and had his eyes and ears covered when he came in and out, Conan realized that Yamabe Koichi did not know where he and his girlfriend were being held.
After hearing Yamabe Koichi's explanation, Jiang Chengbei spoke up:
"Yamabe, you can't ask like that. These are desperate criminals who dare to kidnap police officers and kill prosecutors. They definitely won't tell you."
"That's right, we won't say anything. Once we've been gone a while and Yamada, who stayed behind to watch over your girlfriend, sees we haven't gone back, he'll definitely avenge us and kill your girlfriend, hahaha..."
"you……"
Seeing the arrogantly laughing bandits, Yamabe Koichi couldn't help but punch and kick them, but no matter how he tortured them, the three bandits still refused to reveal their whereabouts.
Seeing Yamabe Koichi becoming increasingly anxious, Jiang Chengbei stepped forward and stopped him:
"Yamabe, you're a police officer. It's illegal for you to punch and kick them. Be careful they don't report you before they go in."
Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's warning, the three kidnappers spat out a mouthful of blood and grinned maliciously, saying:
"That's right, even if we go in, we'll accuse you of torturing us. We won't let you go to jail like us; we'll skin you alive! Hahaha..."
"asshole!"
Seeing Yamabe Koichi shout and try to attack, Jiang Chengbei quickly stopped him:
"Yamabe, don't be impulsive, what you're doing is illegal."
"What should we do? My girlfriend is still in their hands! If we don't get her address out of them now, they'll be even less likely to talk once we're at the police station!"
Seeing that Jiang Chengbei and Yamabe Koichi were in trouble, Conan stepped forward and volunteered, "Officer Yamabe, why don't I take over?"
Seeing Conan step forward, Jiang Chengbei's eyes lit up: "Good idea, Conan, you can do it. Yamabe, please take those three little guys and leave."
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei took out a dagger and handed it to Conan.
Conan stared wide-eyed at the dagger handed to him, then said:
“Jiang Cheng, that’s not what I meant. I meant to blindfold and deafen Officer Yamabe, and then, based on his senses when he came, we can drive backwards or go through the route again. If we try several times, we might be able to find the kidnappers’ hideout.”
"Conan, don't think too highly of Yamabe. Do you think everyone is Conan, able to copy the route they've taken just by feeling it after someone has blindfolded and deafened them?"
Moreover, the situation is urgent now, and there is no time for you to slowly recall and keep trying. If you don't get the kidnappers' address as soon as possible, Yamabe's girlfriend will be dead.
Conan, come on, you're only 7 years old. Japanese law can't touch you, and this isn't the first time you've done this.
"Conan, execute these three by a thousand cuts! I don't believe they can keep quiet."
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei shoved the dagger into Conan's hand.
While Conan was still hesitating, Yamabe snatched the dagger from Conan's hand: "This is my own business, I'll do it myself."
After saying that, he took out his dagger and prepared to bleed the three bandits.
Seeing that Yamabe Koichi was about to make a move, Jiang Chengbei stopped him from behind, threw a dagger to Conan, and kicked him, making him stand in front of the three kidnappers.
"Conan, hurry up and do it! I can't catch Yamabe anymore. If you don't help him, he won't be able to become a policeman."
Conan, think about your father who just died. You don't even dare to lay a hand on a kidnapper. You still want to team up with your brother to avenge your father?
"If you can't even do this, no wonder your brother looks down on you and doesn't want to work with you!"
Conan was shocked by Jiang Chengbei's words: his identity had finally been exposed, and Jiang Chengbei finally knew that he had impersonated his brother!
Startled by this, Conan's mind was misled by Jiang Chengbei's blatant lies and deception, and he felt that Jiang Chengbei was right. If he didn't even dare to take action against a few kidnappers, how could he avenge his dead father in the future?
At the same time, he inwardly mocked his own ridiculous idea of arresting his father's killer and bringing them to justice!
In a moment of irrationality, after being successfully provoked by Jiang Chengbei, Conan instinctively picked up a dagger and plunged it into the kidnapper's thigh.
"what!"
After letting out a scream, the kidnapper stared wide-eyed as a seven-year-old child brandished a knife at him, then roared in disbelief:
"You're Conan? The Conan who committed murder and then recorded a confession to provoke the police?"
“That’s right!” Conan sneered, pulled out his dagger, and plunged it into his other thigh.
"Stop, stop, stop! If you're Conan, you should have said so earlier! I'll confess, I'll confess, I'll tell you everything, stop stabbing me!"
"Conan, you're my idol! I'll tell you anything if my idol asks me a question!"
Conan: ...
Chapter 184 Conan: I've become a suspect? And the police are keeping a close eye on me, so I guess I'll just have to assault a police officer!
After getting the address from the kidnappers, Jiang Chengbei immediately perked up: "You guys stay here and wait for the police, I'm going to rescue them."
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei prepared to drive.
As soon as he got on the bus, a man and a child followed him on:
“I’m going too. I’m a police officer. I can help. I need to save my girlfriend.”
“I’ll go too. I’m a kid. I’ll help scout the terrain so the kidnappers won’t be alerted if they see me.”
Jiangcheng North: ...
Hearing their words, Jiang Chengbei was speechless, then pointed outside the car:
"So you're so comfortable letting these three kids watch over three kidnappers who can kidnap and coerce the police?"
"If you're comfortable entrusting these criminals to the care of these three children, then I have no objection."
Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, and following his finger to look outside at the Teitan Three Idiots who were staring at them expectantly, Yamabe Koichi and Conan were immediately stunned.
After a while, Yamabe Koichi gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Jiang Cheng, why don't I go rescue my girlfriend myself? You stay here and wait for the police?"
"Sure, I'm fine with that, but are you capable of saving people? After all, you, a police officer, were just captured alive by these criminals not long ago."
If the remaining men see you go to rescue someone and their companions don't return, will they just kill your girlfriend to make their companions pay for their deaths?
Of course, Mr. Yamabe, if you think you can beat those criminals with your bare hands and guarantee your girlfriend's safety, then disregard what I said above.
Under Jiang Chengbei's sarcastic reminders, Yamabe Koichi finally realized his own limitations. Compared to Jiang Chengbei, who could dodge bullets and subdue three vicious thugs with handguns in one go with a baton, he, a sniper with a gun, could kill people, but he really couldn't rescue people without sniping the kidnappers.
After hesitating for a moment, Yamabe Hiroshi got out of the car, bowed 90 degrees, and sincerely said to Ejo Kita, "Ejo Kita-san, please, I'm entrusting Nanako to you."
"Don't worry, if there's any danger, I'll release Conan. He'll definitely be able to guarantee your girlfriend's safety."
After saying that, under Yamabe's worried gaze, Jiang Chengbei slowly started the car.
Not long after the car drove off, Jiang Chengbei pulled a pistol from his pocket, shoved it into Conan's arms, and then, under Conan's puzzled gaze, said:
"Kudo, your brother has already told me about you. It turns out that for all this time, you've been impersonating him, hiding by my side with his face."
You tricked me so badly. Never mind, I'll settle the score with you later.
However, he asked me to do something. He said you wanted to cooperate with him to wipe out the brewery and avenge Yusaku Kudo together.
He was initially very interested in your suggestion, but then he thought that since you've never killed anyone before, you might falter, be too soft-hearted, and hold him back on the battlefield.
In order to avoid being dragged down by a rookie like you in the future, he asked me to supervise you. Only when you kill someone and can kill without mercy and be decisive will he consider cooperating with you to avenge Kudo Yusaku.
Kudo, entrusted by your brother, I will definitely help you become a killer king that everyone fears. After all, I am the logistics king of the organization. Whether you want to be a gunman or a bomb king in the future, I can help you get all kinds of guns and bombs, as long as you want.
Kudo, I heard that you and Yusaku Kudo have learned how to shoot in Hawaii. This is perfect, I'll go in first to distract those kidnappers, and then you can sneak in and take them out.
If you can kill someone in front of me, I will vouch for you as a qualified partner in front of my partner.
I'll provide logistical support from behind. You two brothers will fight together and avenge your dead father, Kudo Yusaku.
After listening to Jiang Chengbei's persuasive words, Conan felt bitter. He was no longer the Conan who had lost his mind in excitement when his identity was exposed, but the Conan who had calmed down.
Therefore, he was not misled, and he would not do Jiang Chengbei's request for him to kill someone to prove that he was a qualified collaborator.
He refused to submit this pledge of loyalty.
Conan checked that the gun in his hand was real, hesitated for a moment, and finally returned it to Jiang Chengbei, saying:
“I will not help you kill people. I am not like you. I do not need to prove to you that I would dare to commit such illegal and criminal acts as murder.”
Even without cooperating with you, I can find the distillery and destroy it on my own to avenge my father!
Looking at Conan's stubborn face, Jiang Chengbei chuckled and said, "Kudo, you don't even dare to kill people, how are you going to destroy the Black Organization?"
"If I may ask, what do you mean by 'eliminating the distillery'? Do you mean humanely euthanizing everyone working there, or arresting them and handing them over to the police?"
"Of course, we should arrest them and hand them over to the police so that the law can judge them and they can receive the punishment they deserve!"
"Hahaha... Kudo, what you're saying is ridiculous. Now I finally understand why your brother doesn't want to cooperate with you and why he needs your pledge of allegiance. He'll only cooperate with you after you start shooting people and become a murderous monster."
Arresting the people at the distillery and handing them over to the police for legal judgment is ridiculous, hahaha…”
