He immediately concluded that Jiang Chengbei was Kogoro Mouri, and in return, he hoped that Jiang Chengbei would also acknowledge his identity.
Seeing his anxious look, Jiang Chengbei didn't mind. Since he had mistaken him for someone else, Jiang Chengbei didn't deny it, but went along with him and said:
"You're Nakamura Misao, the mystery novelist? You don't look like it. You're big and burly, not like a cultured person who can write novels. You look more like a kidnapper who breaks the law."
Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, the fat bandit broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that Nakamura Misao, that wretched woman, had found a super-capable detective. This was troublesome.
“Detective Mori is joking. I am not Nakamura Misao. Nakamura Misao is my cousin. He wrote a letter asking you to come.”
After the fat bandit finished speaking, the thin bandit with a bandage wrapped around his right hand walked out of the house, stood next to the fat bandit, and said with a smile:
"Hello, Detective Mori. I am Nakamura Misao. I wrote this letter to request your services. You are welcome to come to my house."
Seeing the two thugs laughing awkwardly, Jiang Chengbei smiled happily:
"You say you're Nakamura Misao, a mystery novelist, but you look so ugly and deformed, you don't look like a cultured person who writes novels."
Also, you already had your right hand bandaged when I arrived. Were you afraid I'd make you write something to verify your identity, so you deliberately broke your hand?"
Hearing Jiang Chengbei's sarcastic remarks, the two kidnappers finally lost their temper and angrily said:
"Detective Mouri, we're only welcoming you because you're a famous detective, but if you keep talking like this, you're not welcome here. You should leave!"
"That's right, we don't welcome you. Go back to where you came from!"
Seeing that they were angry and started to chase them away, Jiang Chengbei wasn't angry and continued to joke:
"Oh, you're getting angry already? Could it be that you're feeling guilty and I guessed right?"
You two are so ugly, yet you're impersonating Nakamura Misao. Could you be two kidnappers? Did you kidnap the real Nakamura Misao?
If that's the case, I'll have to call the police.
Jiang Chengbei said with a smile, while taking out his phone and waving it in front of them, as if he was about to call 110 to report the incident.
"Stop! I am Nakamura Misao, why don't you believe me?"
Seeing Jiang Chengbei's appearance, the two bandits were furious and looked ready to fight him to the death.
"Kogoro Mouri! We admire you as a detective, but if you continue to talk nonsense and argue irrationally, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Hehe, you all call me a famous detective. After receiving Nakamura Misao's letter of request, how could I not tell whether Nakamura Misao is a man or a woman?"
As Jiang Chengbei spoke with a smile, he picked up the letter of authorization, peeled off the stamp, and turned it over to show them:
"See? There's a lipstick mark on the back of the stamp. That's the mark left by Nakamura Misao when he moistened the adhesive with his saliva while affixing the stamp."
The lipstick mark on it indicates that it belongs to a woman. At the same time, the handwriting is so delicate and beautiful that it must have been written by a beautiful woman. It certainly couldn't have come from the hands of you two ugly ducklings.
Plus, you had a bandage on your arm. You got injured as soon as I arrived. What a coincidence!
So you must be imposters, right? Did you tie up the real Nakamura Misao, or did you bury him?
Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, the two kidnappers' expressions turned grim. The skinny man kept pointing his bandaged hand at Jiang Chengbei, while the fat man looked ready to charge forward and fight to the death.
Seeing that the skinny guy didn't fire, Jiang Chengbei was very disappointed.
"Judging from your tense expressions, it seems my deduction was correct. Now I can safely call the police and let them search the villa's attic or yard. Maybe they can even find the real Nakamura Misao who you kidnapped or killed."
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei smiled and slowly pressed the 110 key in front of the two kidnappers, only the final call button was left.
"stop!"
"Oh!"
The fat man shouted to Jiang Chengbei, who was on the phone, and the skinny man next to him couldn't help but pull the trigger and give Jiang Chengbei a lecture on the truth.
Jiang Chengbei dodged the bullet by tilting his head slightly, then put away his phone and raised his hand.
Seeing Jiang Chengbei so obedient, the bandit who had fired the first shot didn't fire again. Instead, he smiled confidently at Jiang Chengbei and said:
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences. Since you're so capable, you saw through our fakery at a glance. You've got some skill."
"If you want to live, come in with us and help us find the jewels in the villa, otherwise you won't be leaving here alive today."
Hearing that the two bandits wanted to find the gems themselves, Jiang Chengbei frowned. Apart from the treasures he remembered and the answers to open-book exams, he really wasn't good at solving cases.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengbei shook his head helplessly: "I'm really sorry, I may have to disappoint you. I'm really not good at solving riddles to find treasure."
"Detective Mori, you're really being modest. Everyone knows you just found 10 billion in gold. Don't pretend in front of us."
Also, make a call home and tell your family to prepare 2 million in cash, otherwise you can forget about going home today.
"You stupid detective, I don't know what you were thinking. You clearly had 10 billion gold to take, but you handed it all over and only got 2 million. You're really stupid and pathetic."
"Yes, it still hurts to think about it now. We were originally able to extort 10 billion, but now we've lost 8 million. My heart is bleeding!"
Seeing the two bandits' grief-stricken expressions, Jiang Chengbei spat and rushed forward, punching the skinny bandit with the gun into a daze. Then, he twisted the arm and dislocated the arm holding the gun.
After the skinny man's arm was crippled, the gun in his hand fell to the ground. Jiang Chengbei kicked it, sending it flying into the house.
Jiang Chengbei didn't grab the pistol immediately, nor did he pick it up right away. He just kicked it away, wanting to give the fat man a chance. After all, he had only gotten the kill coins from the skinny man, and hadn't gotten the fat man's yet.
However, Jiang Chengbei gave him a chance. He left the gun to the fat man, but the fat man was a disappointment. Instead of picking up the gun, he rushed over to help the skinny man fight Jiang Chengbei, hoping that the two of them could subdue him.
Seeing how stubborn this person was and how he couldn't make a decision, Jiang Chengbei got angry and kicked him in the belly, sending him flying. He landed right next to the pistol.
Perhaps because Jiang Chengbei's kick was particularly powerful, or perhaps because this fat man was different from other fat men and couldn't take a beating, after being kicked away by Jiang Chengbei, he lay on the ground clutching his stomach and groaning, but refused to pick up the gun and fire.
If the fat guy doesn't use a gun, then the skinny guy in Jiang Chengbei's hands can only feel sorry for him.
The skinny guy gave both of his kill coins to Jiang Chengbei, and also contributed a new skill to the Ke Xue Shop: he could create his own identity when he was out and about.
So now that he's rendered useless, he's being pinned to the ground by the bored Jiang Chengbei, who's slapping him repeatedly.
It wasn't that Jiang Chengbei liked to hit people, but the fat man hadn't even fired a shot yet, hadn't taken any action. Jiang Chengbei, who was waiting to be shot, couldn't just sit still. He could only slap the skinny man again and again until his head was like a pig's head, making his little head bigger than the fat man's big head.
Finally, after recovering, the fat man knew what he should do. He picked up the pistol beside him and fired several shots at Jiang Chengbei, who was riding on top of his good brother, thus fulfilling Jiang Chengbei's wish.
After firing the gun, the fat man became useless, and Jiang Chengbei easily subdued and knocked him unconscious.
Actually, when the fat man fired, Jiang Chengbei was not only able to easily dodge the bullets himself, but he was also able to help the skinny man by letting him take a bullet for him.
However, considering that Conan wasn't there this time, and that he was building a dual character setup where someone dies when Conan is around and someone dies when Conan isn't around, Jiang Chengbei didn't kill the two thugs; he just knocked them unconscious and subdued them.
After subduing them, Jiang Chengbei called the police. While waiting for the police to arrive, he took the opportunity to rescue Nakamura Misao, who was locked in the attic.
Soon after, Inspector Megure arrived at the scene with his men and quickly discovered the pattern: no one dies when Conan is not around, only cases occur; but when Conan arrives, there is always a murder. He also made a few sarcastic remarks about Conan behind his back and enthusiastically called out to Jiang Cheng, "Brother Jiangcheng," a few times.
Because Conan lives at Jiang Chengbei's house, unlike when he lives at Megure's house or the Metropolitan Police Department where murders happen every day, the police are very cautious about Jiang Chengbei, who can suppress Conan's evil aura. They try to keep Jiang Chengbei away from the Metropolitan Police Department as much as possible, and their statements are taken on the spot, so they never trouble Jiang Chengbei to make a trip to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The case was simple. The two kidnappers broke into Nakamura Misao's house, first kidnapped Nakamura Misao, and then pulled out a handgun to kill him but failed. So after the police understood the case, they sent the two kidnappers back in an ambulance, and they left.
The police left with the criminals, but Jiang Chengbei, the handsome guy who saved Nakamura Misao's life, was insisted on staying for dinner by a friendly young lady as a way of thanking him for saving her life.
Nakamura Misao was so enthusiastic that Jiang Chengbei couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to stay and try the cooking of the beautiful mystery novelist.
After a sumptuous dinner, Jiang Chengbei was about to leave when Nakamura Misao took out her letter of authorization again. The case hadn't been solved yet, how could he, the great detective who came in place of Kogoro Mouri, leave?
Left with no other choice, for the sake of the reputation of the Famous Detective Agency, Jiang Chengbei had to stay and investigate the strange things happening in the villa.
After Nakamura's brief introduction, Jiang Chengbei roughly understood that there were an unusually large number of alarm clocks here that would ring out for a full minute at 10:1 AM sharp, causing headaches for everyone.
In addition to the unusually large number of animal alarm clocks that chime at fixed times every day, at 10:10 every day, a sculpture of three monsters sitting back-to-back appears in the place where pigeons usually appear, which is quite frightening.
Anyway, Nakamura described many unusual things to Jiang Chengbei. Since Jiang Chengbei was teaching the two kidnappers a lesson when these things happened today, he only heard the sounds and did not come over to see them with his own eyes, so he did not know what they were like and could only listen to Nakamura's description.
Of course, even if Jiang Chengbei saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't deduce anything. After all, he's not a detective or Conan. He doesn't rely on his brains to make a living; he just relies on his memories to know things in advance.
Hearing from the two kidnappers that he needed to find the gem, and with a few hazy memories from his past life, Jiang Chengbei knew that the villa contained a gem hidden among the numerous animal-shaped clocks. Unfortunately, he couldn't be sure which one it was; he just felt it was in the pigeon clock, since it was the most special and its roaring time was different from the other clocks.
At Nakamura Misao's request, Jiang Chengbei, who had little reasoning ability, spent the whole night with her, trying to deduce things in a daze. In the end, because it was too late, they stayed overnight in this deserted old villa.
When Jiang Chengbei left the old villa the next day and drove back to Beika Town, his Ghostly Descent skill had gained another person he could teleport to.
Nakamura Misao completely trusts him, and no matter how far away Jiang Chengbei is, he can teleport to her side at any time.
Meanwhile, the jeweled watch left to Nakamura Misao by her maternal grandfather, Izubuchi Monshiro, was eventually forcibly removed from the pigeon clock by Jiang Chengbei. As for the riddle left to her by her grandfather, Jiang Chengbei couldn't figure it out and could only let her work backwards on her own.
However, Jiang Chengbei deduced that Nakamura Misao's maternal grandfather, Izubuchi Monjiro, was the leader of the Gale Thieves group that disappeared more than 10 years ago, based on newspaper clippings in his desk and other clues.
Chapter 205 Conan: Amuro-nii, Shinichi Kudo is a big bad guy, please help me stop him from going on a date with Ran.
The two swift thieves from the Nakamura family villa provided Jiang Chengbei with 4 kill coins and two new skills.
When you're out and about, your identity is something you create yourself: once the main characters in the original storyline recognize your fake identity, you can make that fake identity real.
At level 1, your identity while traveling is self-given, and you can acquire one fake identity that becomes real. At level 2, your identity while traveling is self-given, and you can convert two fake identities into real ones, and so on.
After purchasing this "out-of-town identity" skill, numerous options immediately appeared on the system.
System: Conan, Amuro Tooru, Yukiko, Miyano Akemi, and Haibara Ai have all accepted one of your fake identities. Choose one of them, and the system will turn your fake identity into a real one.
Seeing that they had only been fooled by her, but without revealing her true identity in their eyes, it felt a bit like a blind selection.
Yukiko and the Miyano sisters directly deceived the police by using fake identities and real identification documents. In their minds, they were most likely Japanese police officers, so there was no need to choose this option.
The only unknowns are Conan and Amuro Tooru, those two cunning guys, who don't know what their identities are in their eyes.
After Jiang Chengbei understood the use of this skill, he stopped thinking about it and decisively chose Conan to see what kind of person he was in Conan's eyes.
After selecting Conan, Jiang Chengbei immediately received various documents, passports from different countries, and information in his system warehouse, along with several bank cards.
In Conan's mind, Jiang Chengbei was a CIA spy. So, after using the skill that allowed him to use his identity while traveling, Jiang Chengbei is now a genuine CIA spy and an undercover agent recognized by CIA headquarters.
With the help of his skills, after donning the CIA persona, Jiang Chengbei discovered that Conan and Amuro Tooru's names had disappeared. It turned out that in their minds, Jiang Chengbei was a ruthless CIA agent.
Now that Jiangcheng North has become a true CIA, their understanding has been realized. The names of the Miyano sisters and Yukiko are still there, but their color has turned gray. They need to upgrade their skills before they can choose them again.
Now that he has 34 kill coins, Jiang Chengbei spent 2 more kill coins to upgrade his skill from level 1 to level 2, giving him an extra chance to turn his fake identity into a real one.
After the upgrade, Jiang Chengbei chose the name Yukiko. Then, this fake Japanese policeman, who had a real policeman's notebook, completed all kinds of documents and transformed from fake to real. He is now a real policeman. Some bureaucrats in the police department also have his information and memories. He is not afraid of being investigated when he encounters acquaintances.
After acquiring this new identity, the names of the Miyano sisters, whom Yukiko recognized, also disappeared, and the skill of having an identity that she herself had given her when she went out no longer allowed her to use a name.
If you want to give yourself another identity, you need to deceive another main character in the story, and at the same time level up so that your identity when you're out and about is one you gave yourself.
The skill given by the thief from the Gale Thieves group who was impersonating Nakamura Misao is that the identity he has given himself when he is out and about. The skill given by another thief is that he will give you an identity when you are out and about.
Jiang Chengbei bought another identity he had created himself while traveling, which cost him 3 kill coins and leveled up to level 2. The other one looked pretty good too, so he bought that one as well.
When you're out and about, I'll give you an identity: Once the main characters of the original series believe the fake identity you've created for them, using this skill will make that fake identity become real.
For example: You pretend to be an FBI agent recruiting Conan. If Conan believes you and agrees to join, he will become an FBI agent.
For example, if Xiaolan has amnesia, and you tell her that you are her secret lover, and she believes you, then after using your skill, you will be her secret lover. Even if she regains her memory, this identity will still exist.
