Having only received their 3 points of murderous intent, and not yet the murderous intent after they took action, Jiang Chengbei could only continue to remain under their guns.
Of the three, the only Japanese person who could speak Japanese shouted at Jiang Chengbei, pointing a pistol at him: "You, come here, or I'll shoot!"
Jiang Chengbei ignored his words and instead kicked the travel bag next to his feet.
Seeing this, the three men in black panicked. This was a high-rise building with dozens of floors. If the travel bag fell down like this, wouldn't all those gold coins be scattered all over the ground? Wouldn't it take a long time to find them?
Thinking of this, the three men in black immediately opened fire, shooting towards Jiangcheng North.
The moment they fired, Jiang Chengbei, who had received a danger warning and was skilled in scaling walls, instantly fell off the edge of the rooftop, just like he had been shot and fallen.
"do not want!"
Upon seeing this terrifying scene, Conan and the Teitan trio unconsciously screamed out loud.
After the shout, the person had already fallen, and then the gunfire stopped. The three Teitan idiots covered their heads with their hands in fear and also covered their eyes with their hands.
As for Conan, he was incredibly brave. As soon as the gunfire stopped, he ran out quickly towards the edge of the rooftop where the gold coins were, wanting to witness firsthand the horrific sight of the white-clad man who had fallen to the ground.
With the gold coin right in front of them, and fearing that the child might push it off the roof, the three men in black rushed over as soon as they saw Conan running towards the coin.
When they reached the edge of the rooftop, they found that he had no intention of pushing the gold coin down. Instead, he stuck his head out to look down, seemingly wanting to see the miserable state of the man who had fallen.
So the three men in black didn't shoot Conan. Instead, they grabbed him by the back of his collar and threw him behind them, leaving him with his friends.
"Hahaha, the gold coins are ours!"
Just as the three men in black were laughing heartily around the gold coins in the travel bag, a series of gunshots came from the small roof of the stairwell.
Then, after a series of clanging sounds of spent bullet casings hitting the small roof of the stairwell, Conan watched helplessly as the three men in black, who had been so arrogantly firing their guns just moments before, were now riddled with bullets and beyond dead.
Two bodies were knocked backward by the force of the bullets and fell off the rooftop.
After the gunfire stopped and all the spent bullet casings hit the ground, Conan looked back and his pupils instantly contracted sharply:
On the small cement roof, under the hazy moonlight, stood a mysterious figure in white, wearing a white top hat, a white fitted suit, a white mask, white gloves, and a white cloak that fluttered in the night wind. He held an M4 assault rifle in the other hand, posing in the moonlight.
Didn't he just fall down?
"Kids, it was great to find the treasure with you guys today. Let's come again next time!"
After the magnetic broadcasting voice stopped, Conan's pupils dilated again. He saw the white-clad figure who had just been on the small rooftop leap lightly over Conan and the others, traversing mountains and seas, and landing in one step on the edge of the rooftop where the gold coins were located.
With the fourth level of wall-climbing skills, Jiang Chengbei can jump four or five meters high from a standing position, and leap more than ten meters in one step, which is an easy thing.
Conan, who had never experienced the power-enhancing shoes before, was still a naive and immature teenager. So when he saw Jiang Chengbei take a step with ease, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
After seeing this, Conan also understood why he didn't die after falling off the rooftop and instead reappeared from the small roof behind him.
This person is incredibly strong!
If such unscientific people have appeared, is it still scientific?
While Conan was staring blankly at Jiang Chengbei, Jiang Chengbei grabbed another handful from his travel bag, took out all the blood-stained items, and threw them at Conan and the Teitan trio.
"What a coincidence, we meet again so soon."
It's fate that we met. We've killed people together and shared the spoils together. From now on, we're family.
You can take these and drink and eat to your heart's content. I'll take my leave now.
By the way, if you don't call the police this time, I'll still share the loot with you next time we meet. But if you do call the police, these three men in black will suffer the same fate.
That's all I have to say. Goodbye then. If we're destined to meet again, I'll take you to rob a bank sometime.
I have high hopes for you guys. You're incredibly talented, and I believe you have the potential to become top-tier criminals.
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei zipped up his travel bag, picked it up, faced the Tsutsumi River in front of the building, and turned back to say one last thing to Conan and the others:
"Kids, lastly, I'll demonstrate a leap of faith for you."
As long as you believe you can fly, and hypnotize yourself into thinking you are a bird, you will be able to survive no matter how high you jump.
"Watch closely. Once you've mastered the Leap of Faith, you can jump out of planes without fear of crashes or wrecks."
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei, who was carrying a travel bag, fell straight off the edge of the rooftop.
Seeing Jiang Chengbei jump off the building again, Conan, no longer under the pressure of death, finally revived his detective spirit and shouted, "Stop! Don't run away!"
After shouting, he took another step with his short legs and rushed to the edge of the rooftop.
Just like last time, Conan poked his big head out from the rooftop and looked down at the hazy ground, only to find nothing. He didn't see the white corpse or the flying man in white; it was just an empty space below.
The reason he didn't see anything was because Conan didn't have the Conan Glasses, and the Oni Sakura Building was too tall, plus it was nighttime, so he couldn't see the two bodies lying at the bottom of the building that had just fallen.
"You bastard, don't try to run away, I, Conan, will definitely catch you!"
I, Conan Edogawa, swear I will catch you, you murderer!
Upon hearing Conan's shout, the Teitan trio were taken aback: Didn't Conan change his surname to Megure Conan? Why is he still calling himself Edogawa Conan?
Is it really true, as Uncle Jiangcheng said, that Conan can't be tamed?
Let's not think about this for now. There are still dead people here. Thinking about it further would be disrespectful to them. So the three idiots of Teitan said tremblingly:
"Conan... Conan... what... what do we do next?"
Seeing his trembling friends huddled together behind him asking him a question, Conan took a deep breath, his eyes sharp, and said firmly, "Call the police! Let's go call the police right now!"
"But...but before that person jumped, he said that if we called the police, he would come and kill us!"
"Ah, I don't want to be shot!" Genta said, patting his chest in fear after Mitsuhiko finished speaking.
"Ah, I don't want to be poured into a concrete pillar and then sunk into Tokyo Bay either." Then Ayumi hugged her chest, swaying from side to side, and said in a very scared voice.
"Ah, I don't want to be thrown into the crematorium either." In the end, the topic returned to Mitsuhiko, who concluded with a hint of fear.
Seeing the Teitan trio acting like this, Conan was speechless for a moment, but he quickly put on a smile that was inappropriate for the occasion:
"I'm relieved to see that you still have such a vivid imagination. It seems you weren't scared. You're definitely not ordinary people."
Call the police! Don't be afraid, I'm here for you. I will never forgive evil! Good will prevail over evil!
Remembering that Conan had caught many murderers before, and that this time the murderer jumped off a building and escaped before Conan could even utter a threat, the Teitan trio thought Conan's words made sense, so they followed Conan to the police station.
Chapter 73 Shiho Miyano: Catching a Mischievous Conan
After Jiang Chengbei jumped off the rooftop, he transformed into a little chubby bird, then went into the Ghost Cherry Building, took the infrared alarm hidden at the building entrance, and put it back into the system space.
Finally, Jiang Chengbei flew to another place he had found to hide the gold coins, transformed into a human, and hid all the maple leaf gold coins he had brought with him.
That's right, Jiang Chengbei had actually found the maple leaf gold coins on the Ghost Cherry Building long ago and took a batch of them away and hid them in advance. The rest were left behind as bait.
Maple Leaf Gold Coins are the most frequently mentioned in Detective Conan fanfiction. They are a must-have for any character who arrives in the Detective Conan world relatively early, and to a large extent, they are the protagonist's first pot of gold.
Having read many fanfictions, he knew that the starting point for finding the Maple Leaf Coin was the East Capital Iron Tower, and the Coin was hidden in an abandoned building. Not far from the building was a river, and the bridge lights on the bridge over the river, along with their reflection in the water, looked like a fish. In addition, Jiang Chengbei could fly, so he quickly found the Maple Leaf Coin.
After finding the Maple Leaf Coins, Jiang Chengbei waited for Conan, the guide, to lead the way, and then took the opportunity to collect 6 kill coins from the 3 men in black, as well as the three new Conan-themed items: Italian, English, and Robbery Aura.
Seeing the "robbery aura" that supposedly increases the success rate of a robbery, Jiang Chengbei finally understood why these idiots had managed to rob an Italian bank.
This time I got 6 kill coins, plus the original 2, so Jiang Chengbei now has 8 kill coins. In terms of skills, he can transform into an invincible little fat bird, level 4 wall-climbing, danger warning that cannot be upgraded, and level 1 nameless extra's highlight moment that can get 10 kill coins from non-story characters who kill him.
After hiding the gold coins, Jiang Chengbei changed his clothes in another place. Then, he transformed into a little chubby bird again, flew home, took a bath, and then bought two bottles of wine from the system store, along with some fruit, before going to eat at Kogoro Mouri's house next door.
Jiang Chengbei had only been gone for about ten minutes, and no one would have guessed that he had already killed three people dozens of miles away and even showed off in front of the elementary school detective.
What happened next was quite ordinary and nothing special. Even though Jiang Chengbei had produced such a perfect alibi, he didn't have a chance to show off, and no one even asked him about his alibi.
Jiangcheng North was bored, but Conan and Inspector Megure were completely absorbed in the newly appeared white-clad masked man.
The only clue about this masked man in white who suddenly appeared is that his appearance is very similar to that of Kaito Kid, and his skills are comparable only to Kaito Kid's.
However, while Kaito Kid doesn't kill people, doesn't wear a mask, and doesn't steal anything other than jewels (and even if he steals jewels, he'll return them), this man in white does everything from murder to robbery, making him somewhat different from Kaito Kid.
However, the two men were dressed alike and were equally skilled, far exceeding that of ordinary people, so the Metropolitan Police Department also suspected that there might be some illicit relationship between them.
Conan was troubled for several days by the white-clad murderer who had killed and robbed people right in front of him. Although he solved several cases that occurred in or near the Metropolitan Police Department during this time, he was not happy.
After all, the white-clad murderer who killed someone in front of him has not been caught yet, and no clues have been found. He disappeared after the murder, as if he had never existed.
He was very unwilling to accept this, after all, he had sworn an oath, and no murderer had yet escaped his grasp... Well, apart from that serial shooter, who doesn't count. He killed someone and ran away, never returning to the scene. That person didn't have the spirit of Mika and disgraced the Mika people.
Because he couldn't get over the white-clad thief who stole the maple leaf coins, and after thinking about him too much, Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration:
Although he didn't know who the murderer was, Conan still got a good look at his physique that night.
After repeating this over and over again for so many days, Conan felt that the white-clad murderer's build and physique were similar to Jiang Chengbei's.
Although one likes to wear all black all day and the other always appears in all white, their colors are very different, but they both have a simple love and both like solid colors.
In addition, since they were about the same size, and Conan really, really hated Jiang Chengbei, Conan used his position for personal gain and borrowed a lot of eavesdropping equipment from the Metropolitan Police Department, intending to install a few at Jiang Chengbei's two homes and the fruit shop.
Of course, the Metropolitan Police Department's eavesdropping equipment wasn't as advanced as the one invented by Dr. Agasa. It still needed to be powered by AAA batteries, and it was also relatively large, only slightly smaller than a pager. At the same time, the sound quality wasn't very good.
After all, Conan is only familiar with the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department; he doesn't have enough influence to borrow equipment from the Public Security Bureau.
Conan moving into the Megure family home as Megure's son has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that he can easily rely on the police, while the disadvantage is that he doesn't have Professor Agasa, the white-bearded old man.
Of course, compared to this slight drawback, his death aura is even more powerful than Ran's luck, so Conan can fully indulge his detective passion and has no shortage of cases. His only worry is that the serial shooting case and the maple leaf and gold coin murder case are still unsolved.
Not long after, Conan sneaked to the house in Jiangcheng North that he owned, not rented, in the fifth block.
After getting off the elevator on the 5th floor, I crouched at one end of the corridor, secretly looking at the apartments along the open corridor, wondering how to make sure Jiang Chengbei was home.
According to Conan's estimation, Jiang Chengbei should be at the fruit shop, but he came recklessly today and did what he wanted, so he forgot to go to the fruit shop in 5-chome to check on Jiang Chengbei's whereabouts.
Just as Conan was lying at one end of the corridor, contemplating life, someone suddenly patted him on the head, and at the same time, a rather cold female voice came from behind him.
"Conan, what are you doing lying here? What are you looking at? Are you trying to cause trouble?"
This startled Conan, and at the same time, the unpleasant memory of being ambushed from behind by Gin and knocked down with a single blow instantly flooded back.
Then, when Conan turned around, the woman with short brown hair behind him instantly came into contact with the man dressed entirely in black.
Although they don't look alike at all, Conan somehow forcibly connects them in his mind and always feels that they are a group.
Rationally, Conan wanted to banish this absurd idea from his mind, but his body betrayed him; he was terrified, trembling, and cold sweat poured down his body.
Seeing Conan's expression, the woman with short brown hair gave a cold smile and said to Conan in a gloomy tone:
"Conan, you were right. Tell me, what wicked thing are you secretly planning here?"
Hearing the words of the woman with short brown hair, Conan's heart trembled uncontrollably, while he internally screamed:
Who are you? Why do you know me? Why am I so scared when I see you? Who the hell are you? Why don't I recognize you?!
