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

Page 124

Unexpectedly, upon meeting him, Yukiko immediately knew that the injury on his arm was inflicted by Sharon Vineyard, and she even learned that Sharon was a high-ranking member of a terrorist organization.

These were things that Kudo Yusaku had deduced after being assassinated many times, using many connections, and painstakingly finding many clues. This greatly surprised Kudo Yusaku.

Unexpectedly, Yukiko's reasoning ability improved so much after she ran away from home in anger and went back to Japan to see her nephew. Kudo Yusaku was immediately impressed by her.

Later, when Yukiko filed for divorce, Yusaku Kudo originally wanted to explain that Conan was not his son, but the son of his twin brother, so that the DNA test results of Conan and his own would show that he was his son.

After all, Yukiko had a standard DNA paternity test done, while paternity tests for her twin brothers and the next generation require more detailed and specialized methods. With current technology, the cost and time would be dozens of times higher, and it wouldn't be done unless there were special circumstances.

Most importantly, Yukiko doesn't know she has a brother, let alone that her brother is her twin brother, so she won't get that kind of paternity test done.

This time, I'm taking the blame for my older brother, whom I haven't seen for 20 years, but who rushed to help me as soon as he asked for my help.

Originally, Yusaku Kudo wanted to tell the truth, but his older brother kept denying that Conan was his son and refused to admit it no matter what.

However, with Yukiko's paternity test report, it's certain that Conan is their offspring; if he's not his, then he's his older brother's.

So from Kudo Yusaku's perspective, Edogawa Conan must be his foolish older brother's child. If he wasn't his child, why would he fake his death and come to the United States eight years ago?

At the same time, from Kuroba Toichi's perspective, Edogawa Conan is definitely his foolish younger brother. If he weren't his illegitimate child, why would he target his nephew Shinichi everywhere as soon as he returned to Tokyo?

If he really is Kuroba Toichi's child, why doesn't Conan go after Kaito?

In their respective minds, Conan is each other's child, their own nephew.

Originally, Kudo Yusaku wanted to explain things to Yukiko, but when he thought about how he was about to fake his death like his older brother, he worried that if he told Yukiko about it, given her childish temper, she might go to his sister-in-law to verify his fake death, which would only cause trouble for his older brother.

Since I'm already planning to fake my death to escape and then investigate the terrorist organization that keeps trying to assassinate me, I might as well do my foolish brother a favor.

So, the thoughtful Yusaku Kudo didn't reveal the truth. He divorced Yukiko and had her change her identity and go into hiding, while he went to find and eliminate the terrorist organization that was constantly hunting him down.

These are the consequences of Vermouth's involvement in the assassination attempt on Yusaku Kudo, and the unfortunate fact that he recognized her.

When Vermouth learned that it was her beloved eldest son, Shinichi Kudo, who attacked Gin, and that the reason for the attack was that they had almost killed Shinichi Kudo in Dorobiga, he was seeking revenge.

After hearing Vodka's explanation in place of Gin, Bayonetta secretly gritted her teeth: "Womanly compassion, womanly compassion!"

Shinichi Kudo disappointed her greatly this time. He was already capable of killing Gin to avenge the near death he suffered at Gin's hands last time, but at the last moment he let Gin and Vodka, his two sworn enemies, go. This greatly disappointed Vermouth.

So, after being amazed by Shinichi Kudo's strength, she decided to help Gin with this favor. This time, she wouldn't slack off; she would use all her abilities to kill the father of the eldest son, giving him a profound lesson and making him remember it.

Everyone has to pay a price for growth, so she wants to help her eldest son kill his father as a sacrifice to the heavens, so that he can grow up as soon as possible into a silver bullet that can fight against the organization and destroy it!

He had the ability to injure Gin and Vodka on his first strike, but he let them go because he was too soft-hearted. Therefore, Bayonetta felt obligated to help this young man with unlimited potential but a kind heart and not ruthless enough grow up and make him more decisive in killing.

At the same time, she had also decided that once she killed Kudo Yusaku, she would immediately tell Kudo Shinichi that the mastermind behind the murder was Gin Vodka, so that he could grow up quickly and avoid his womanly compassion from holding him back.

Bayonetta had a good plan. With her full cooperation, after Gin, who was on crutches, came to the United States, they worked together and finally found an opportunity on California's Highway 1 in Big Sur. They killed Yusaku Kudo and pushed him and his car into the Pacific Ocean.

Now that Yusaku Kudo has been eliminated, all that's left is to wait for Shinichi Kudo to arrive, and then have him investigate to find out that the ones who made this move were Gin and Vodka, whom he had let go last time out of pity.

Bayonetta had a good plan: she would wait in the US with Gin and Vodka for Shinichi Kudo to come and collect Yusaku Kudo's body.

Although Yusaku Kudo's body was thrown into the Pacific Ocean, as his son, upon hearing the news of his father's death, he should at least come here to pay his respects or reinvestigate this highly suspicious traffic accident.

As a result, Vermouth, Gin, and Vodka waited and waited, until Gin's leg injury had healed, but Shinichi Kudo still hadn't appeared, which made them start to doubt their own judgment.

Is a son who didn't even come to see his father after he died in a traffic accident really a soft-hearted person? Or has the conflict between him and his father reached an irreconcilable point?

Judging from the fact that none of his ex-wife, his mistresses, or his extramarital affairs came to California to handle his funeral arrangements, Kudo Yusaku was truly a failure as a person.

Before his scandal broke, everyone thought he was a good man and a good husband. But judging from the current situation, it's possible that he was too pretentious before, which is why no one came to handle his funeral arrangements after his death.

While Vermouth and Gin were lamenting the coldness of the world, Conan, who had come to investigate the cause of Yusaku Kudo's death, along with Jiang Chengbei and Inspector Megure who brought him, had actually arrived long ago and had been investigating for many days.

Now, they have secretly investigated and found out that Kudo Yusaku was assassinated multiple times during this period, and Conan has also discovered that the person who assassinated his father was a member of the winery.

Conan, taking advantage of his status as a child and the fact that no one in the United States knew he was Yusaku Kudo's son, quickly investigated and found out that his father had not died in a traffic accident, but was ambushed by the winery, which led to his body sinking into the Pacific Ocean.

Knowing that the brewery was behind it, but unable to find anyone from them, and after several near misses with Vermouth, whom he didn't recognize, Conan learned from Ran that his mother, Yukiko, had been seen in Japan.

Conan was worried about his mother's safety and that she might be hunted down by the Black Organization without her knowledge, so he had no choice but to give up searching for Yusaku Kudo's body and pack his bags to return home.

People from the Black Organization are everywhere. Now that he's figured out that the people who attacked Kudo Yuzu were from the Black Organization, he can take revenge on the Black Organization when he returns to Japan. After figuring this out, Conan reluctantly returned to Japan.

Of course, the main reason was that after staying in the United States for so long, he hadn't found a single person from the distillery, and had only helped the FBI solve a few cases along the way. So, under Inspector Megure's persuasion, Conan finally agreed to go back.

Chapter 183 Conan, you don't even dare to stab a person, how are you going to avenge your father in the future?

After disguising herself and hiding, Yukiko read the email sent by "Shinichi Kudo," cursed "dog and woman" under her breath, then calmed down and deleted the email.

This time, Jiang Chengbei accompanied Conan to the United States, and he did gain something from it.

Because she gave herself away slightly during the assassination attempt on Yusaku Kudo, Hollywood actress Sharon Vineyard also died suddenly shortly after Kudo's death.

Then, at Yukiko's request, he, Shinichi Kudo, while investigating whether Yusaku Kudo was dead or alive, also discovered that Sharon Vineyard had faked her death. There were no ashes in the cemetery, and the crematorium records were also forged. He sent this real information that he found out to Yukiko.

Most importantly, Jiang Chengbei photographed two furtive figures hiding their heads and tails around the cemetery in Shalang, and sent them to Yukiko along with the information above.

Upon seeing the backs of the two mysterious figures, Yukiko immediately recognized one of them as Yusaku Kudo.

They appeared together near the fake death cemetery in Sharon, so it goes without saying that the other one must be the Thousand-Faced Witch who faked her death.

So Yukiko stopped being angry and gave up completely. Since they had faked their deaths to be together, she decided to forget about him completely.

Having completed Yukiko's instructions, Jiang Chengbei and the others returned to Japan.

Of course, while Conan was investigating the cause of Yusaku Kudo's death, Jiang Chengbei not only went to the fake grave of Sharon Vineyard, where he encountered the disguised Kudo Kuroba brothers, but also went to the headquarters of USAID, CIA, FBI, etc., secretly reviewed some files, and even stuffed a lot of things into them.

After his trip to the United States, Conan, unlike Jiang Chengbei who could transform into a little chubby bird and fly around freely, only discovered that his father had been assassinated multiple times by the Black Organization before his death. He also found evidence of Black Organization executives' involvement in the last assassination attempt. As for the rest, he didn't find anything else.

After returning to Japan, Conan locked himself in and pondered deeply for a long time.

After this reflection, he finally understood that he had been focused on capturing his brother and heading north to Jiangcheng, thus neglecting his real enemy, the winery, which led to this situation that he would regret for the rest of his life.

Internal strife and sibling rivalry were the main reasons for my father's violent death at the winery.

After figuring this out, Conan decided that his focus from now on would be on finding out where the distillery was and avenging his father.

In order to avenge Yusaku Kudo, Conan even contacted his brother, intending to put aside their differences and join forces to destroy the Black Organization.

Unfortunately, after hearing his idea, Jiang Chengbei replied that he didn't need his help with his own things and told him to go do what he was supposed to do. Then he cut off contact with him and stopped paying attention to him.

Having failed to convince the brothers to join forces and even being looked down upon, Conan could only bark helplessly for a while before vowing to rely on his own abilities to find the distillery before the perverted brothers, destroy it, and then send the criminals inside to prison to bring them to justice!

After making up his mind to eliminate the distillery, Conan couldn't get any information about it from Jiang Chengbei, so he had to frantically search for clues on his own, questioning anyone he saw wearing a black suit.

Seeing that Conan was in a bad state after the death of his father and was showing signs of going crazy, Inspector Megure consulted with Jiang Chengbei and the Mori father and daughter. They finally decided to travel around to relax.

When they went on a trip, Jiang Chengbei and the Megure couple were both fine, only Kogoro Mouri had a problem.

Because Conan didn't live in his house in this world, his Mouri Detective Agency didn't have much business. Even when they did, it was cases from the original series, and either the client was dead or in jail, so he couldn't earn any extra money and had very little cash in his pocket.

Kogoro Mouri was broke, and Jiang Chengbei thought it was his turn to show off and take advantage of Kogoro. But before Jiang Chengbei could even make a move, Lady Luck smiled on Ran and pulled out a two-day, one-night coupon for the World's Greatest Festival. It was a free travel voucher he had won while shopping in the mall.

Since the Mori father and daughter could go on a free trip to Saitama Prefecture, Kojo Kita no Megure and his friends had no choice but to take Conan there at their own expense.

However, when Megure went to the Metropolitan Police Department again to ask for leave so he could take Conan on a trip, things took a new turn.

I experienced what happened a while ago when Megure took Conan to the United States, and during that time, the whole of Tokyo was quiet.

Especially in Beika Town and Beika Town, which used to be notorious for murders, not a single murder occurred during this period, and everyone enjoyed a holiday that they hadn't experienced in a long time.

On the day Conan returned, the murder cases in Tokyo that had been put on hold began to resurface and occur in large numbers, with the rate of increase being like inflation, and the speed at which cases were solved could not keep up with the speed at which cases were reported.

When Conan appeared, the Metropolitan Police Department's holiday was immediately canceled, and everyone returned to their posts, beginning a life of working day and night.

After experiencing Conan's departure, their place was peaceful and prosperous, and they wholeheartedly supported Conan's trip to another place, hoping and looking forward to it.

So, upon hearing that Inspector Megure was going to take Conan on a trip to relax, the entire Metropolitan Police Department united and contributed all their travel vouchers, coupons, discount coupons, and various welfare vouchers.

People even started a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for Conan's travel expenses. The Metropolitan Police Department staff would cover all his costs if he could travel to other places.

The fact that the Metropolitan Police Department was so united, besides the many murders it had previously brought to the department, was also because he had just returned from the United States. While he was away, the Metropolitan Police Department had been peaceful for a period of time, but a case immediately occurred upon his return.

The case is this: After Conan returned, the number of cases skyrocketed, so everyone else had their holidays canceled and came back to work overtime.

However, one SAT sniper was not notified, and as a result, he and his girlfriend were kidnapped and forced to assassinate a prosecutor.

Fortunately, while they were practicing their sniping strategy on an abandoned building in the suburbs, they ran into Conan, who had been in a strange mental state since returning, and his three friends had taken him out to clear his head.

Because in this world, the close connection between Conan and Professor Agasa has been severed by Jiang Chengbei, so Jiang Chengbei has now replaced Professor Agasa's position.

So, Jiang Chengbei drove the four of them on a picnic in the countryside, something that was bound to happen, since a case was bound to occur.

This time, the Teitan trio suggested going to the river to catch fish to cheer Conan up, and Jiang Chengbei had no problem with it.

Moreover, how to get there and where to go is entirely decided by the precocious Teitan trio.

Most importantly, Jiang Chengbei went along. Even though he didn't seem to bring much, once they arrived, whenever they thought of something or wanted something on the spot, Jiang Chengbei would act as if he had already thought of it and knew what they would want, and that he would take care of everything.

Afterwards, Jiang Chengbei pretended to rummage through the trunk, and in the end, he always managed to pull out what the Teitan Three Idiots wanted most.

So going out to play with Jiang Chengbei, or coming to Jiang Chengbei's fruit shop after school to play and exchange things, was the happiest thing for the Teitan Three Idiots.

Jiang Chengbei is like their Doraemon; whatever they want, as long as it's available in the market, Jiang Chengbei can always satisfy them, no matter when or where.

Compared to Conan, who embezzled the funds of their Junior Detective League, Jiang Chengbei is much better. So now the three of them are basically Jiang Chengbei's spies.

If Jiang Chengbei asked them about Conan, they would definitely tell him everything they knew, and they would definitely sell out Conan completely.

Of course, in their eyes, Jiang Chengbei was also very good to Conan, so good that they often envied him.

For example, if Conan is unhappy, Jiang Chengbei will thoughtfully find three of his peers to comfort Conan, play with him, and cheer him up.

They felt that Jiang Chengbei was much better than their parents because he could do all this. After all, their parents basically didn't care about anything and just let them grow up on their own. Even if they were unhappy, they could only confide in their friends, unlike Jiang Chengbei who would help them find their friends to comfort them.

Conan could only chuckle at Jiang Chengbei's good intentions. He was already troubled by his parents' divorce, his father's murder, and his mother's disappearance, and now Jiang Chengbei had sent three elementary school students to comfort and bother him. No wonder Conan was in a bad mood!

So, Conan, who was in a bad mood, was pushed into the river by three elementary school students to catch hairy fish. He even caught a hairy fish the size of a fingernail, and he had to force a smile and celebrate happily with the three elementary school students.

However, seeing that Jiang Chengbei hadn't caught a single fish on the shore, he felt a little better.

Finally, as expected, the unexpected still happened. Jiang Chengbei and Conan witnessed the sound of a remote-controlled boat sailing on the river in the distance being shot and popped by a balloon tied to its stern.

Following the sound of gunfire, Jiang Chengbei, wearing chakra sunglasses, used the telescope function to see the sniper on the abandoned building across the river, as well as three thugs pointing pistols at the sniper's head.

Another case has occurred, and another character from the original series has appeared. There's not much to say. Jiang Chengbei tells Conan to take good care of the three children and leave them here before rushing to the other side of the river.

Jiang Chengbei wasn't short-legged like Conan, so when he rushed to the abandoned building, he managed to block the three thugs and one hostage coming downstairs.

Jiang Chengbei was spotted by an unarmed passerby who was about to cause a big scene. At the same time, three former gang members, who also had handguns, didn't need to say anything. They pointed their guns at Jiang Chengbei, forcing him to surrender obediently.

This time, Jiang Chengbei didn't need to put on an act. As soon as Jiang Chengbei stopped listening to them, took out his baton, and charged forward, they opened fire.

Finally, when the disobedient Conan arrived at the scene with his three friends, Jiang Chengbei had already demonstrated his bullet-dodging skills to the SAT sniper, exhausting their bullets while constantly dodging, and finally defeating them all by taking on three opponents at once.
