Conan saw that Inspector Megure actually believed Jiang Chengbei's manipulative tactics and even became grateful. Isn't Chun Chun just a fool?
Therefore, Conan secretly tugged at Inspector Megure's clothes and whispered, "Uncle, Jiang Cheng is trying to fool you, don't fall for it."
"What? Conan, what did you just shout? I didn't hear you, shout again!"
Before Inspector Megure could answer, Conan was startled by a sudden voice from behind and above him. Looking up, he saw that it was Jiang Chengbei, whom he currently hated and feared the most, who had returned. His heart tightened immediately.
Jiang Chengbei, you big bad guy! Once I recover, I'll... never mind, I haven't recovered yet, so I'll still be a coward.
So Conan, pretending to be a child, said in a childish voice, "Oh dear, I'm Uncle Jiangcheng..."
"Stop, shut up, don't call me that anymore. I'm not asking what you call me. Just call me what you used to call me from now on."
I was actually asking you what you called Inspector Megure just now?
Hearing that Jiang Chengbei had let him go so easily, Conan was overjoyed and immediately said happily, "Uncle, I call Inspector Megure Uncle..."
"Stop, Inspector Megure, didn't you adopt Conan? Didn't you introduce Conan to us as your own son? Why is he calling you uncle?"
Pointed out to him by Jiang Chengbei, Inspector Megure blushed, looking somewhat embarrassed. He also gave Conan a resentful look before finally speaking:
"Conan is shy, and he's having some trouble saying 'Dad' so soon. He's not quite used to it yet, but he promised that once his personality changes drastically, he'll definitely call me 'Dad'."
Jiang Chengbei was taken aback by Inspector Megure's words: "Call me again after my personality has changed drastically?"
Hey... isn't that Conan whose personality changed drastically just me?
Well, so this Corgi was plotting against me and even wanted me to take his place as Inspector Megure's son. Unforgivable!
Jiang Chengbei looked at Conan with an unfriendly expression and said, "Brother Megure, Conan won't even call me 'Dad.' This kid is hopeless. Should we just throw him away?"
Hearing Jiang Chengbei say this, and being glared at so fiercely by him, Conan was puzzled: What had he done to offend this scourge? Why was he looking at him so fiercely?
At the same time, while Inspector Megure also hoped that Conan could call him "Dad" now, he wouldn't force him; he'd let things happen naturally. So he waved his hand and said:
"Oh? No, the child is still young. He'll get used to him eventually. We can't abandon him. Xiao Lü and I both love him very much."
Seeing how much Inspector Megure doted on Conan, Jiang Chengbei, however, was quite different. He stared intently at Conan with his deep gaze and said meaningfully:
"Conan, this is not right. Now that you have become Inspector Megure's adopted son, you still refuse to call him 'Dad.' Are you not the real Conan?"
"Is what you told Ran true? Are you really Shinichi Kudo who shrunk after taking the drug? If you really are Shinichi Kudo who shrunk, then it makes sense that you won't call Inspector Megure 'Dad'."
"Europe……"
Hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, Conan was scared half to death. He subconsciously wanted to call for his father, but he could only shout the beginning before he couldn't continue. He thought that if he immediately called for his father after being threatened like that, wouldn't that make him look guilty and give himself away?
If I yell, it's like I'm guilty and I'm admitting it. If I don't yell, judging from Jiang Chengbei's attitude, he won't let me off the hook. How despicable!
Just when Conan was in a dilemma, it was Conan's "good father" who spoke up and saved Conan's life.
"Brother Jiangcheng, you have quite the imagination. How is this possible?"
Although Conan looks like Kudo, I would believe you if you said they were brothers, relatives, or even that he was Kudo's illegitimate son.
But if you say that Kudo shrunk after taking the drug, I'll be the first to disbelieve it. If there really were such a drug that could reverse aging, I'd be the first to go and buy it.
I don't ask to turn back time; I just want to take this medicine and get back to the perfect figure I had in my twenties or thirties. I'm too fat now; people have started calling me "fatty."
After Inspector Megure and Enokichi finished speaking, he turned to Conan and said:
"Conan, don't force yourself if you can't call me that. We'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future, so it won't make a difference if you wait a little longer. You can call me Dad when you get used to it. I can wait."
You can call me Uncle as before, Conan. I love whatever you call me. I don't mind if you don't call me Dad.
Hearing Inspector Megure's words of help, Conan breathed a sigh of relief, but his beady eyes said: You don't care that I didn't call you Dad, but you keep using the word "Dad" in your sentences. What do you mean by that?
Seeing that Conan was still struggling and wouldn't call him "Dad," Jiang Chengbei's fighting spirit was ignited. He was determined to hear Conan call Inspector Megure "Dad" today. It was a pity that Yusaku Kudo wasn't there. It would be interesting if Conan called Inspector Megure "Dad" in front of Yusaku Kudo.
If Yusaku Kudo isn't here, then let Kogoro Mouri take his place?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengbei planned to bring up the topic of Kogoro Mouri by talking about Xiaolan's experiences, and then call them over to confirm the plan. He said:
"Brother Megure, this isn't just a matter of imagination. Ran told me about Conan impersonating Shinichi Kudo. You can ask her if you don't believe me."
Furthermore, Conan didn't just fool Ran; he also fooled Sonoko and Professor Agasa.
He almost succeeded in fooling Professor Agasa, making the professor truly believe that he was Shinichi Kudo. If Ran hadn't arrived in time, I estimate that Conan would have stolen the most valuable and impressive items from the professor's house.
Thankfully, Ran arrived in time and exposed Conan's trick; otherwise, Conan now could easily take down an adult like Mori.
Conan: Take down Uncle Mori?
I'd like to...
When Jiang Chengbei brought up the things he had confessed to Professor Agasa and Ran, Conan was reminded of his ex, the Saiyan who could take down many murderers, and even his own penis had been taken down.
I'm so envious...
However, ever since he encountered the Black Organization mole who had infiltrated the Metropolitan Police Department, Conan has begun to regret confessing to Ran.
The Black Organization is too powerful and too cruel; we can't let Ran be implicated. That's Conan's current thought.
Thinking of the Black Organization, Conan glanced at Jiang Chengbei:
The only good news is that so many days have passed since he encountered this person who seemed to be from the black-clad organization, and he's still alive and well.
This means that either he has misunderstood and is not a member of the Black Organization, or he has not yet confirmed that he is Shinichi Kudo and is still investigating and testing the waters.
Judging from his current behavior, the truth should be the latter. He is not sure and is still testing the waters.
According to his current thinking, since Shinichi Kudo has both parents, he probably wouldn't call Inspector Megure "Dad." After all, the proud high school detective is still a person who cares about his reputation.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chengbei guessed wrong. Conan is currently using someone else's face, not his own Shinichi Kudo face. He's calling Inspector Megure "Dad," so what's so shameful about that?
If you don't believe me, I, Conan, will demonstrate it to you right now!
"Europe……"
Just as Conan was about to tell Inspector Megure to beat up San, Jiang Chengbei, who was getting impatient, saw that Conan was deep in thought and not responding, so he interrupted him:
"Oh what? Since you won't admit it, I'll call Xiaolan and the others over to be witnesses."
Chapter 65 Conan: I have faith in my friends; they will help me.
"Oh what? Since you won't admit it, I'll call Xiaolan and the others over to be witnesses."
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei greeted Xiaolan and called over her people.
Well, since Conan hasn't called Inspector Megure "Dad" yet, and it's still the first time, Ran can't be absent from witnessing this historically significant moment.
When Conan saw Ran and other bystanders who had been called over by Jiang Chengbei, he was completely stunned.
If he had known Ran would come, he wouldn't have resisted or delayed. After all, he was already staying at Inspector Megure's house, and his health insurance card listed him as Conan Megure. Calling him "Dad" wouldn't hurt him.
Now, with so many more viewers watching, and in front of so many people, Conan is calling someone other than Yusaku Kudo "Dad" for the first time. Conan feels incredibly embarrassed.
When Ran, along with Kogoro Mouri, Yoko Okino, and the Teitan trio, arrived, Jiang Chengbei smiled happily and said to Ran:
"Ran, tell Inspector Megure how Conan impersonated Shinichi Kudo and tricked you and Professor Agasa."
Inspector Megure has no idea his eldest son has done something like this. You should talk to him about it.
After hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, Conan felt that Jiang Chengbei was testing whether he was Shinichi Kudo again. Jiang Chengbei, when will you stop? So annoying!
Okay, I'll just give up, Conan. Let them yell all they want.
Taking a deep breath, Conan opened his mouth, but no sound came out at first. After several attempts, Conan finally managed to make a sound: "Oh..."
Meanwhile, seeing Conan's tense expression, clearly unwilling to have his embarrassing moment told, Ran, being understanding, gently said:
"It's all in the past, and Conan seems really reluctant to bring it up again, so let's not make things difficult for him and not talk about it anymore."
However, Professor Agasa was so silly and cute back then. He was completely fooled by Conan and actually believed Conan's lies. He even wanted to help Conan cover for me and lie to me together.
......"
Then, Ran went on and on about how Conan tricked Professor Agasa that night, leaving Jiang Chengbei and Conan completely stunned:
Goodness, just from the first sentence, they really thought Xiaolan was done talking. But after she finished the first sentence, she couldn't stop and said everything she should and shouldn't have said.
At first, Conan was grateful to Ran for being so discreet and keeping her mouth shut. But now, all Conan wanted to do was call her "Dad" and tell Jiang Chengbei, who had gotten the results of his test, to get lost.
Unfortunately, Ran kept saying that Conan felt it might be too deliberate and artificial for him to suddenly call Megure "Dad," which would only make Jiang Chengbei more suspicious.
After thinking about this, Conan felt that he had to come up with a way to find a suitable opportunity to make himself seem less deliberate and less guilty, and to call Megure "Dad" in a natural way, thereby dispelling Jiang Chengbei's suspicions about him.
Meanwhile, Conan inwardly thought that Jiang Chengbei was too simplistic in his thinking. He only thought that Shinichi Kudo had become famous at a young age and was proud and arrogant, so logically he would not be Megure's son or call Megure "Dad".
But now he has Conan's face and Conan calls him "Dad," so what does that have to do with Shinichi Kudo?
Even after bringing up Ran and telling Conan that he was Shinichi Kudo, Jiang Chengbei was still not convinced that the die-hard Conan would call Megure "Dad." Now, Jiang Chengbei was determined to find a way to make Conan call him "Dad" today.
If Xiaolan can't do it, then we'll ask the ministers I entrusted to her, the Grand Marshal of the State, and the General Who Protects the Nation for help.
"Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, I heard from Inspector Megure that you are all Conan's good friends and have known him for a long time."
So, have you noticed anything strange about Conan lately? How is he different from the Conan you knew before?
When Jiang Chengbei asked him this, Conan's heart jumped into his throat, and he became extremely nervous.
Sure enough, Jiang Chengbei was ostensibly trying to get him to call Inspector Megure "Dad," but in reality, he was looking for evidence that he wasn't Conan but an imposter, Shinichi Kudo. Otherwise, why would he need to ask a child about the differences between his past and present behavior when he could simply force him to call Inspector Megure "Dad"?
Conan was about to stop his three friends from talking nonsense.
Before Conan could even speak, the Teitan trio gave him a big surprise, each of them taking turns roasting Jiang Chengbei with a single line:
Who are you? Do we know each other?
"We don't know you, why should we tell you?"
"Conan is our friend, and we would never tell strangers about him."
Jiang Chengbei: Am I a stranger? I helped you climb over the wall, I gave you money, how am I a stranger?
Conan: Well said! You're definitely someone who can keep up with me, Conan!
Hearing the Teitan trio's answer, Conan immediately felt relieved: What great teammates! I'm definitely going to be friends with you three!
Since you guys are such reliable partners, I, Conan, will also consider you my brothers and sisters. I trust you to handle things.
Having suffered a setback with the Teitan Three Idiots, Jiang Chengbei did not give up and continued:
"Of course, it's because I think this Conan is fake. Your former good friend Conan might be someone else impersonating him, and I want to ask you to help me identify him."
"You all heard what Ran just said. He admitted in front of Ran, Professor Agasa, and many other people that he is Shinichi Kudo."
