Conan rolled his eyes at the policeman who was restricting his movements. If it weren't for this policeman getting in the way, he would have stopped it himself. Why would he need to ask Jiang Chengbei for help?
But he's young, and he brought this on himself. Who told him to record a confession video? So now that he's restricted in his movements, it's retribution.
But it's too late to say anything now, and it's too late to regret it. All we can do is try to stop it. So Conan continued speaking towards Jiangcheng North:
"Jiang Cheng, when we were at your house before, you promised me that you would help me!"
If you don't stop him, given that perverted Shinichi Kudo's shameless nature, he's capable of anything, you..."
"Hey, Conan, why did you say that Shinichi Kudo is a pervert and shameless?"
I just checked the news about your previous matches, and I found that you always had the upper hand; you were the one messing with him. But seeing how frustrated you are now, it's like you're the one who lost every time. What's going on?
Conan was still trying to get help from Jiang Chengbei when Hattori Heiji suddenly jumped out and looked at Conan with a curious expression.
Previously, based on news reports, Conan seemed like a truly heinous villain.
But based on our interactions today, aside from his lawlessness, flexible moral compass, ability to pry open doors and locks, pendulousness, eavesdropping, and occasional illegal activities, Conan is a very good and upright person, completely unlike a serial killer who has committed countless murders.
Seeing this group of people staring at him aimlessly, why don't you detectives arrest that good brother, Zhuangyuan Hong, who impersonates him, Shinichi Kudo, tries to steal him away, and kills people everywhere?
Conan desperately wanted to expose his brother's crimes and bring him to justice, but considering his brother's extraordinary abilities and his ability to come and go freely from the Metropolitan Police Department to commit murder, sending ordinary people like Hattori Heiji and Mouri Kogoro to their deaths would be suicide. Furthermore, Jiang Chengbei, who was capable, was in cahoots with his good brother.
Conan is filled with despair at the thought of this situation. The only way he can bring that inhuman guy to justice is to train his chakra and surpass his good brother's abilities.
For the previous 17 years, Conan perceived the world as an ordinary one, but after meeting his brothers, it suddenly transformed into a supernatural world.
Originally, once the case was solved, the culprit could be easily apprehended. But now, even if the case is solved, he still can't capture that extraordinary brother who can fly and dive into the earth. Conan is quite helpless.
He wanted to capture his good brother who taught him chakra and then tried to impersonate him and steal his man, but unfortunately, he didn't have the strength to do so.
So, after being dragged into the police car by Shiratori, Conan finally panicked and banged on the car window, shouting:
"Jiang Chengbei, hurry and stop Xiaolan's date!"
Seeing Conan's anxious expression, Jiang Chengbei smiled, shook his head, and said:
"I'm not Xiaolan's person, so what reason do I have to stop her?"
"Conan, don't talk nonsense. Besides, he and Shinichi Kudo are childhood friends with a strong emotional foundation. If Shinichi Kudo could turn over a new leaf and reform, wouldn't it be great if they were together?"
Seeing that Jiang Chengbei remained calm and even winked at him, Conan was genuinely anxious. He really wanted to yell at him:
Jiang Chengbei, you clearly knew that Shinichi Kudo was a fake, that your partner was impersonating him, so why didn't you stop him?
But there were no strangers around, so Conan couldn't bring himself to say it.
Furthermore, with Bai Niao already starting the car and it moving, if Jiang Chengbei wasn't stopped soon, Xiao Lan might really be deceived and fall into the clutches of her own brother.
So, disregarding the current situation, Conan could only shout recklessly:
"Jiang Chengbei, you promised me that if I couldn't control myself, you would help stop me!"
I can't control myself now, you have to stop me! Even if you have to chase after Ran, you have to stop Shinichi Kudo from showing up tonight!
He's a pervert, he's a beast, no one will be happy with him!
Jiang Chengbei, don't you like Ran? Then go after her! If you can stop Shinichi Kudo tonight, you'll have saved Ran!
Anyone is fine, except Shinichi Kudo!
Chapter 131 Jiang Chengbei: Brother Maoli, I've always considered you a brother, how come you want to be my uncle?
"You brat, don't go!"
Who are you? What business is it of yours what happens to Xiaolan?
Don't think that just because you're that brat's half-brother you can interfere in Xiaolan's affairs!
You, your bastard brother, and your bastard father are all equally despicable!
Since Kogoro Mouri was one of the many people who eavesdropped on the last time Inspector Megure called Yusaku Kudo, he also knew that Conan was Yusaku Kudo's illegitimate son and Shinichi Kudo's half-brother.
Now, after hearing Conan's words to Jiang Chengbei before leaving, he became furious and followed Shiratori's car, cursing loudly.
Shinichi Kudo already annoyed Kogoro Mouri, and now this 7-year-old brat Conan is arranging Ran's love life. This is something that only Ran's father has the right to do. What right does this brat have to interfere?
So as soon as he heard Conan's words, Kogoro Mouri lost his temper and chased after Conan, yelling at him.
After he had finished cursing Conan and was unable to catch up with the car, and Conan had already disappeared, Kogoro Mouri returned angrily. Upon his return, he didn't forget to glare at the innocent bystander Jiang Chengbei.
Jiang Chengbei, glared at by Kogoro Mouri, knew only he was the one who had caused all this trouble, and gave a guilty smile.
"Brother Mori, this has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything. I was just implicated by the Kudo brothers."
Having just heard Kogoro Mouri vaguely say that Conan was Shinichi Kudo's brother and Yusaku Kudo's illegitimate son, and now hearing Jiang Chengbei mention the Kudo brothers, Heiji Hattori's eyes widened in shock, and he asked in astonishment:
"Is Conan Kudo's brother? Is he the Kudo Shinichi I know?"
Also, Jiang Cheng, is the brother you mentioned the brother I understand?
Seeing Hattori ask so loudly, Jiang Chengbei and Mouri Kogoro realized that there was another outsider present who didn't know what had happened that day and hadn't been eavesdropping on Inspector Megure's phone call.
So they laughed awkwardly, pulled Hattori aside, and said in a low voice:
"We promised someone that this matter would be kept secret, so even if you didn't hear what we just said, you're not allowed to tell anyone about it."
Okay then, as a way of repaying you for keeping it a secret, we'll tell you the whole story of what happened that day.
That day, Inspector Megure was furtively making a phone call to a world-famous mystery novelist, and we secretly went over to eavesdrop, and we overheard..."
After Jiang Chengbei and Mouri Kogoro recounted the entire story of what happened that day to Hattori Heiji, Hattori, in return, offered to keep the secret.
After learning about Conan's true background, Hattori finally understood why there were so many people outside the Metropolitan Police Department, especially so many NGOs supporting Conan, cheering him on, and protesting the Metropolitan Police Department's legitimate actions.
I see. So all of this was orchestrated by Yusaku Kudo, who was far away in America.
It's a pity. Back then, Yusaku Kudo was such an upright person. He was a good young man who often risked his life and the revenge of criminals to solve cases for the police for free. I never thought that a few years later, he would fall into depravity. Not only did he have an illegitimate child, but he also got into a conflict with the police because of the illegitimate child.
At the same time, Heiji Hattori suddenly realized why he hadn't been able to find any evidence all these days: it turned out that Conan had the experienced detective Yusaku Kudo behind him. With this old fox protecting him, it was no wonder he couldn't find any evidence against Conan!
Since Conan has his father backing him up, Heiji Hattori had no choice but to go back and ask his father for help.
This time, Conan went to find his father first, and Heiji Hattori went home to find his father after Conan. It's not shameful.
While Heiji Hattori was thinking about Conan, Kogoro Mouri, who had calmed down, remembered what Conan had said before leaving. Looking at Jiang Chengbei, his eyes suddenly lit up. After sizing him up, he said:
"Brother Jiangcheng, how have I always treated you?"
Upon hearing Maoli's words, Jiang Chengbei's eyes lit up, and he happily said, "That's great!"
"That's good. Now, I have a tough task for you, and I hope you can do me a small favor."
“Sure, I’ll do whatever you ask, Mori-san.”
Seeing Kogoro Mouri nodding and stroking his chin, Jiang Chengbei was very happy and immediately agreed.
"Okay, Jiang Cheng, I wasn't wrong about you. From now on, don't call me Brother Mori anymore. You're only three years older than that bastard Kudo. You, Ran, and Hattori are the same generation. From now on, just call me Uncle Mori."
After hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Jiang Chengbei suppressed his excitement, feigned displeasure, and sternly refused:
"No, absolutely not!"
"Brother Mori, I've always considered you a friend, an older brother, but you want to be my uncle, my elder? That's absolutely unacceptable!"
"Huh?" Kogoro Mouri didn't expect Jiang Chengbei to refuse. The smug smile on his face froze instantly. He then pulled Jiang Chengbei to a corner and whispered:
"My good brother, I'm begging you, please do me a favor."
Don't worry, although I know you definitely won't want to call me "uncle."
But that's just a lie. In my heart, I've always considered you a brother, and no matter what you call me, that won't change.
After hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Jiang Chengbei pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Brother Mouri, since your heart hasn't changed and you've always treated me as a brother, why do you still insist that I change my address to Uncle?"
Are you trying to take advantage of me?
Seeing that Jiang Chengbei had misunderstood, Kogoro Mori quickly explained, "What do you mean by taking advantage? I absolutely didn't have that thought. I just don't like those two bastard brothers from the Kudo family."
Seeing that Kogoro Mouri got angry whenever the Kudo brothers were mentioned, Jiang Chengbei quickly expressed his opinion, saying:
“That’s right, I agree with what Brother Mori said. I’m on your side, and I also don’t like the Kudo brothers.”
Seeing that Jiang Chengbei was on his side, Kogoro Mouri immediately smiled, and said with a very happy smile:
"Jiang Cheng, since you also dislike them, that makes things easier. You go and teach Kudo Shinichi a lesson."
Since things had come to this point, Jiang Chengbei patted his chest and assured him, "You can rest assured about that. When I see Shinichi Kudo next time, I will definitely help you beat him up."
"Beat him up? That's not enough. I need you to beat him emotionally!"
He was so sure Xiaolan liked him that he started messing around outside, even finding another girlfriend, trying to have his cake and eat it too. That's absolutely unacceptable!
So, Jiangcheng, I need your help, and Xiaolan needs you to save her!
Chapter 132 Mori: Jiang Cheng, go after Ran and drive that bastard Shinichi Kudo out of Ran's heart.
"I'll save Ran? And defeat Shinichi Kudo emotionally?"
Brother Mori, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm your brother, Ran's uncle. How could I do such a thing?
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Seeing Jiang Chengbei's decisive refusal, Kogoro Mouri was both amused and exasperated, and then began to use his silver tongue, saying:
"Jiang Cheng, who do you think you are, Uncle Xiao Lan? You're only three years older than her; you're the same age as her."
Moreover, I'm not asking you to actually pursue Xiaolan, but rather to pretend to.
Just think about it, tonight when we go to the movies, that bastard Kudo is so arrogant, he actually wants to bring his girlfriend and our Ran to the movies together.
What makes me even more desperate is that even though Shinichi Kudo is this kind of person, Ran still can't forget him and even agreed to go to the movies with them!
This incident shows how devoted Ran is and how much of a bastard and scumbag Shinichi Kudo is!
To save Xiaolan, to help her wake up from this relationship that was wrong from the start, and to guide her back to the right path, Jiang Cheng, I'm entrusting this matter to you!
"Me?" Jiang Chengbei pointed to his own nose in disbelief as Kogoro Mori finished speaking.
"That won't do, Mori-san. I'm still a virgin with absolutely no experience in relationships. I don't understand these kinds of things. You should find someone else."
I think Black Chicken is pretty good. He's the right age, and he's also Xiao Lan's type—the kind of guy who's obsessed with mystery.
Moreover, Mori-san, have you noticed that the black chicken and Kudo look quite alike? If you just paint his face white, he'll be another Shinichi Kudo.
