Of course, all of this was done incidentally. Right now, Amuro Tooru's biggest concern is Jiang Chengbei in front of him. After searching for so long, he has finally found Kudo Shinichi.
Seeing Amuro Tooru staring at Jiang Chengbei, Conan, the sixth brother, analyzed in his mind the difference in fighting strength between Amuro Tooru, himself, and his brothers.
No matter how you look at it, unless Amuro Tooru is a hidden superpowered individual, the two of them combined could not possibly be a match for their brother.
Fortunately, his brother probably didn't know that Amuro Tooru was a policeman and that he was being watched by him. Conan was secretly pleased, while thinking about how to cooperate with Amuro Tooru to successfully capture his brother who had committed numerous crimes and killed countless people.
"Hello, my name is Amuro Tooru, and I'm a tenant who recently moved in."
After dealing with the arson incident involving Makabe Gin, and checking the landlord's injuries to confirm he wasn't dead but merely unconscious, Amuro Tooru, while waiting downstairs for the police and ambulance, pretended not to recognize Kudo Shinichi and asked Jiang Chengbei:
"Who are you, and why are you here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Faced with Amuro Tooru's questioning, Jiang Chengbei calmly said, "Kudo Shinichi lives two houses down from the next one."
The place your telescope is pointing at is my home, the Kudo residence that's under constant surveillance.
"You've been spying on me for so long, and you're still pretending not to recognize me. You're such a hypocrite, not a good person."
"Huh?" Caught off guard by Jiang Chengbei's blunt revelation, Amuro Tooru was immediately embarrassed. He chuckled awkwardly a few times and said:
"Haha, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I like astronomy, I like looking at stars and the moon. I'm not monitoring the Kudo residence. You've misunderstood."
"Like looking at the stars and the moon? What a lame excuse. Do you think a famous detective like me would believe that?"
"Amuro Tooru, if you really like this, then Conan singing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' to the moon is just a hobby, not a way of training his superpowers."
Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei reveal his name, Amuro Tooru's smile became even more awkward, his dark face contorting into a bitter expression. He was very worried that this high school student named Kudo Shinichi had already deduced his true identity.
I've been having a lot of bad luck lately. Not only have many of my men died, but now many people know that I'm a police officer.
He kept his true identity a secret from many people before, and few knew it. But now, since meeting Jiang Chengbei, everyone knows who he is. What bad luck.
Now that Shinichi Kudo had called him by his name, Tooru Amuro stopped pretending and tentatively said:
"Kudo-kun, I'm sorry. I had my reasons for doing this. If my previous actions caused you any trouble, I apologize now."
Actually, I'm just a mediocre detective, but I greatly admire you for becoming the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the savior of the Japanese police, and the famous high school detective at such a young age.
I'm a fan of yours, and I did this because I wanted to find you, to become your apprentice, to learn your reasoning skills, and to become a detective like you.
Chapter 209 Copying Homework
The police arrived at the scene quickly. In the world of Conan, whether they are police officers or detectives, they emphasize openness, fairness and impartiality in handling cases. No matter what case they encounter, they must handle the case in public, without reservation, and explain the matter clearly to everyone.
Therefore, the arsonist and attempted murderer, Makabe Ginya, who were caught on the spot, were not immediately taken to the police station for interrogation after the police arrived. Instead, they confessed their motives for murder and arson in public.
He had a conflict with his landlord, who accidentally pushed him down the stairs. The reason was quite simple and not complicated.
That is, he made several small fortunes from stock trading. In order to pay less tax, he secretly buried the cash he made from stock trading in the yard at night.
The landlord's son, Kaiichi Yamaura, asked Conan to investigate this matter.
The landlord's first-grade son had noticed him acting suspiciously in the yard late at night, and the landlord knew exactly what he was doing. So tonight, when they were arguing about it, Makabe pushed the landlord off the building.
Makabe Gin also thought the landlord had fallen to his death, so he planned to set the building on fire to destroy the evidence.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengbei saw it and caught him red-handed.
Unfortunately, Makabe Ginya didn't kill the landlord tonight; the landlord was still alive. So, although Jiang Chengbei caught the murderer Makabe Ginya, he didn't receive the reward of transformation attempts.
However, Jiang Chengbei also got 2 kill coins after being pushed down the stairs, and the Fireball spell was also added to the Ke Xue Mall.
Upon seeing that it was a fireball spell similar to magic, Jiang Chengbei immediately spent 10 kill coins to learn it.
You got 2 kill coins, spent 10 kill coins, and now Jiangcheng North has 26 kill coins left.
After solving the case and most of the police officers had gone home, Jiang Chengbei, now transformed into Shinichi Kudo, chatted for a while with Tooru Amuro, Conan, and Professor Agasa, who had come out to watch the commotion, before openly returning to the Kudo residence.
Seeing this imposter Shinichi Kudo usurp his place, take over his home, and then throw him out, Conan was seething with rage outside the Kudo residence.
Conan was sulking outside the Kudo residence, and Amuro Tooru, who was refused entry, was also in a bad mood. Now he had found Kudo Shinichi, but he refused to communicate, which disappointed Amuro Tooru, who wanted to get information from "Kudo Shinichi".
Since "Shinichi Kudo" refused to cooperate, he wondered whether he should report the matter to the organization and use Shinichi Kudo's head to pave the way for his own advancement.
Before Amuro Tooru could finish analyzing the pros and cons of whether or not to complete the organization's mission, a masked man appeared not far from them.
Looking at the familiar figure and clothes, Amuro Tooru and Conan had the feeling that this person's figure and height were exactly the same as Shinichi Kudo's when he first returned to the Kudo residence.
"Tennessee!"
Upon seeing Jiang Chengbei wearing a mask, Amuro Tooru, who had a blood feud with him, became agitated again and immediately drew his gun while rushing forward.
"Tennessee, hands up!"
Amuro Tooru didn't bring a gun when he went to work at the coffee shop during the day, but after visiting the Metropolitan Police Department and going home, he is now carrying a gun.
Upon seeing Jiang Chengbei wearing a mask, they pointed their guns at him.
The reason Amuro Tooru didn't fire immediately is that he needs to confirm the situation. After all, what if the person on the other side is an innocent civilian, and if he's unlucky enough to be dressed like someone from Tennessee, and he just shoots and kills them? Wouldn't that be indiscriminate killing of innocent people?
However, Amuro Tooru's worries were clearly unnecessary. After seeing that Amuro Tooru did not fire immediately, Jiang Chengbei immediately pulled out a grenade from his pocket and arrogantly brandished it at Amuro Tooru.
Bang bang bang!
Seeing Jiang Chengbei pull out a grenade, there's no doubt about it. It's impossible for it to harm innocent people. It's just that the passerby was unlucky, wearing the same style as Tennessee, and killed the wrong person.
Once he confirmed that the person opposite him was the Tennessee whiskey he had been longing for but could never find, Amuro Tooru didn't waste any more words. He aimed at him and fired, as if he would execute him on the spot even if it was against the rules and regulations.
Having been frequently targeted and shot at, Jiang Chengbei is very experienced at dodging bullets.
After dodging the bullets fired by Amuro Tooru and taking the 1 kill coin provided by Amuro Tooru, Jiang Chengbei dodged and weaved several times, and ran away after Amuro Tooru emptied his magazine.
Amuro Tooru and Conan chased after Jiang Chengbei for a while along the direction he had fled, but it was pitch black, and they couldn't catch up with him even during the day, so it was even more impossible for them now that it was late at night.
Actually, just as he turned a corner and disappeared from Amuro Tooru and Conan's sight, Jiang Chengbei turned into a little chubby bird and watched Amuro Tooru and Conan chasing each other around like headless flies from the wall next to him.
Ninety percent of the route they took in their pursuit of Jiang Chengbei was aimless and futile; Jiang Chengbei had long since escaped their sight.
Unable to find the "Tennessee" who had suddenly appeared and seduced them, Amuro Tooru and Conan finally thought of Kudo Shinichi, whose figure was exactly the same as Tennessee's.
So, in a bad mood, they returned to the Kudo residence in 2-chome, climbed over the wall and searched around, but couldn't find any trace of Shinichi Kudo.
As a result, Amuro Tooru immediately began to suspect that Shinichi Kudo might be Tennessee.
However, Shinichi Kudo used to have a very good reputation, and he also had a good relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department. According to information obtained from police officers like Megure who had contact with Shinichi Kudo, a good person like Shinichi Kudo didn't seem like the kind of criminal who would kill public security officers so easily.
However, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Perhaps Shinichi Kudo was too good at disguising himself in the past, and he fooled veteran police officers like Inspector Megure.
Compared to the possibility that Shinichi Kudo might be Tennessee, Conan was quite certain that the masked man Tennessee who had just escaped was his criminal brother who had impersonated him and ruined Shinichi Kudo's reputation.
Seeing that his brother knew to wear a mask to provoke the police, unlike when he dealt with the distillery he used his face and openly attacked the distillery's stronghold with an armed helicopter, he felt a little grateful. After all, this time he knew to wear a mask and didn't use his face, which was progress.
Tennessee was not caught, and Shinichi Kudo, who had said he was going home to rest, disappeared again. In the spirit of making use of waste and not wasting anything, Tooru Amuro sent an email to his boss Rum about Shinichi Kudo going home today and then disappearing again.
While Conan and Amuro Tooru were racking their brains trying to find Shinichi Kudo and Tennessee, Jiang Chengbei had already been searching for the dozen or so small cash items that the arsonist, Makabe Ginya, had buried in the yard before, which had now been dug up by the police and marked with chakra transmitters. After finding them, he put the cash into the system shop.
After all, this cash belonged to Shinbe Ginya, and he had developed murderous intent towards Jiang Chengbei, even pushing Jiang Chengbei off the building. Therefore, this money could also be collected by Jiang Chengbei into the system and become the system store's reserve funds.
Jiang Chengbei was happy to take the money, but the Metropolitan Police Department was in trouble after losing another large sum of money. The police officers responsible for keeping the money would have a hard time from then on.
The 10 billion yen in stolen bank money that Akemi Miyano stole last time was also lost by the Metropolitan Police Department after it was recovered, and its whereabouts are still unknown and there are no clues. As a result, many people were implicated and many people were punished. Now that it's happening again, the pressure is huge and there are many responsibilities. Everyone who came into contact with her is under investigation.
They suffered, but Jiang Chengbei, the instigator, felt no remorse. After flying back to his rented apartment, he did some exercise and then went to sleep.
The next day, after listening to Conan's account of some events, Jiang Chengbei visited Professor Agasa with a fruit basket.
After all, Professor Agasa's house next door almost caught fire, so as a friend, Jiang Chengbei brought some fruit to comfort him.
Of course, most importantly, in the original series, the tax-evading tenant set fire after Shuichi Akai moved in, but now it was caused earlier after Tooru Amuro moved in. So Jiang Chengbei thought he could copy this and learn from it.
"Professor Agasa, there's actually something else I wanted to discuss with you today."
Professor Agasa, you have a doctorate and are incredibly intelligent. I also want my two children, along with their friends, to live in my house. I hope they will grow up to be as successful as you, Professor.
So, the reason I came to see the professor is to ask him to create some puzzles so I can take them back and organize an activity to enhance their intelligence and reasoning skills.
In the original series, the Teitan trio followed Professor Agasa and solved riddles every day. Now, following Jiang Chengbei, they haven't encountered a single riddle, so Jiang Chengbei came to Professor Agasa to ask him for riddles.
Similarly, in the original series, he could give the children riddles every day and lived a very happy life, but now he doesn't even have anyone to talk to and his life is very monotonous.
So, at Jiang Chengbei's suggestion, Dr. Agasa happily accepted the task of creating riddles for children and setting up a treasure.
After several days of discussion and planning, Jiang Chengbei and Professor Agasa finally finished setting up the puzzle and the treasure.
Soon, when the weekend arrived, Jiang Chengbei took the five children of the Junior Detective Club and drove to an old villa in the suburbs.
"Brother Jiangcheng, is there really treasure in this villa?"
"Yes, that's right."
The three idiots of Teitan asked many times along the way, and even after they arrived at their destination, they kept asking. So Jiang Chengbei nodded seriously and gave them an affirmative answer.
After bringing the five children into the villa, Jiang Chengbei gave them the riddles and hints given by Professor Agasa, and asked them to find the clues and treasure on their own.
Upon entering the villa, Conan saw a photo of Professor Agasa hanging on the wall of the living room, and his deadpan expression returned.
The Teitan trio and Ai Haibara didn't know Professor Agasa, but Conan immediately recognized that the person in the photo looked exactly like Professor Agasa. Coupled with the treasure riddle and hints they received, he immediately had a guess in his mind.
"Jiang Cheng, the treasure riddle you mentioned, could it be that Professor Agasa helped you with it?"
The person in the photo looks so much like Professor Agasa, could this place be Professor Agasa's?
Seeing that Conan had guessed it, Jiang Chengbei didn't deny it. He looked around and nodded, saying:
"That's right, I asked Professor Agasa to do it. Once you solve the mystery, you'll find the treasure."
"You guys are really boring, trying to amuse little kids."
Although Conan expressed his disdain and made some sarcastic remarks about Jiang Chengbei and Professor Agasa's boring comments, he still happily participated in the puzzle-solving and treasure-hunting activities.
Under Conan's guidance, the Junior Detective League successfully solved the mysteries, found clues, and retrieved the children's toys that Jiang Chengbei had previously left there.
Unfortunately, all the children's toys had been cut and chopped up, so the children thought they hadn't found the real treasure yet and continued their search with great enthusiasm.
Led by Conan, they finally found the hidden secret room, where they discovered a skeleton and the master copy of the counterfeit money.
After finding the master mold for counterfeit money, the two criminals who had been hiding outside and searching for it also appeared, rushing into the secret room with pistols.
Jiang Chengbei gave Conan a needle in the neck to prevent the troublesome kid from stealing kills and affecting his grand project of collecting kill coins. Then, he started taunting the two criminals with the fake banknote master plate, making them fire and collect 4 kill coins before finally subduing and arresting them.
Seeing Jiang Chengbei pull this stunt again, insisting on waiting for the thugs to fire their shots before arresting them, Ai Haibara kept complaining in her mind that Jiang Chengbei had nothing better to do than create danger when there was none.
After handing the two armed thugs over to the police, it was discovered that neither of them had ever killed anyone and their transformation count had not increased, which made Jiang Chengbei a little disappointed.
However, this was an event from the original drama that Jiang Chengbei found in his memory, and then he asked Professor Agasa for help to push it forward. As a result, the two bandits actually appeared, which made Jiang Chengbei very happy.
