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

Page 175

When Masahiro Yamauchi sneaked into the villa, stole a kitchen knife from the kitchen, and ambushed Fumiko Hotta, almost stabbing her to death, Jiang Chengbei appeared out of nowhere, cleanly and efficiently saving Fumiko Hotta and arresting the murderer, Masahiro Yamauchi.

"You... how come you're still alive?"

Seeing the shocked look in Yamauchi Masahiro's eyes, Jiang Chengbei smiled slightly:

"Yanchi, you're finished. You have a life on your hands, and two attempted murders, one of which was an attack. You were planning to kill a policeman and escape. You'll have someone to take care of you for the rest of your life, and you can spend your old age in peace."

The commotion caused by Jiang Chengbei and his group quickly attracted the attention of Conan, Hattori Heiji, and the other members of the Horita family who were inside the villa.

Last night, Masahiro Yamauchi still denied it to the death and resisted fiercely, but now he has been caught red-handed. And most importantly, after being caught red-handed, he no longer has the chance to kill Fumiko Horita. So he finally broke down and cursed Fumiko Horita.

If I can't kill her, I can at least verbally abuse her to vent my frustration.

Upon learning that Masahiro Yamauchi was indeed the murderer of Kosaku Hotta, and that he was even prepared to fight Fumiko Hotta to the death, cursing her madly if he couldn't kill her, the members of the Hotta family present were completely stunned.

What grudge does the Horita family have against Masahiro Yamauchi? Why would they harbor such deep hatred towards him?

At first, no one understood, but as Yamauchi Masahiro continued to curse and gradually revealed the reason for his hatred, everyone finally understood why Yamauchi Masahiro wanted to kill Horita Kosaku and his daughter.

It turns out that Masahiro Yamauchi's surname is not Yamauchi, but rather Uchiyama. He is Kentaro Uchiyama's father, a car designer, which is why he has the ability to repair cars and even tamper with brakes.

Of course, because Yamauchi Masahiro was skilled at repairing cars, Jiang Chengbei not only received 2 kill coins from him, but also added the car repair skill to the Ke Xue Mall.

Leaving aside the Jiangcheng North system, let's just talk about Masahiro Yamauchi, who has a son named Kentaro Uchiyama, who is also Fumiko Hotta's girlfriend. They were very close for a while.

Unfortunately, Kosaku Hotta felt that Kentaro Uchiyama was not good enough for his daughter, so he interfered and forcibly separated them, and even humiliated Kentaro Uchiyama.

In the end, Kentaro Uchiyama committed suicide. So his father switched the positions of the surname Uchiyama and changed his name to Masahiro Yamauchi. He quit his job and became a maid in the Horita family. After three years of enduring humiliation and biding his time, he finally found an opportunity to kill Kosaku Horita yesterday. At the same time, he also made a plan to use the faulty brakes to send Fumiko Horita, who was driving down the mountain, to her death.

Unfortunately, his revenge plan was only half completed. He only killed the capitalist Kosaku Hotta, who had humiliated his son. With the help of Kita Enoki, the slut who had dumped his son and submitted to her father's will, Hotta Fumiko, escaped.

Masahiro Yamauchi told his story very well, and those around him were deeply moved.

Because he didn't kill Fumiko Hotta, and Fumiko Hotta was a proud and aloof person who wouldn't open up about her feelings or reveal her inner softness, even though Conan said that Masahiro Yamauchi was wrong, that Fumiko Hotta hadn't abandoned her boyfriend Kentaro Uchiyama back then, causing Kentaro Uchiyama to fall into despair and commit suicide, and that Fumiko Hotta still loved Kentaro Uchiyama to this day, Masahiro Yamauchi, who hadn't achieved his revenge, didn't believe it and continued to angrily curse Fumiko Hotta.

Fumiko Hotta is also a stubborn person. Her boyfriend committed suicide because of their relationship problems, and three years later she became estranged from her father. She is not good at handling relationship issues.

Now, her ex-boyfriend Masahiro Yamauchi's father killed her biological father and tried to kill her multiple times. He had just made her experience the fear of death and almost sent her to meet the King of Hell. Therefore, she was also very angry at Masahiro Yamauchi for cursing at her.

No matter how much Conan and Heiji Hattori tried to persuade them to let go, Masahiro Yamauchi and Fumiko Hotta, these two enemies with a life-or-death feud, could never forgive each other and could never forgive and forget their grudges.

Masahiro Yamauchi is going to jail. Even if we don't consider that this is the world of Detective Conan, a year is a lifetime. Just considering that Masahiro Yamauchi is over fifty years old now, has a murder on his hands, plus two attempted murders, one of which was an assault on a police officer, he will spend the rest of his life in jail. Even if he gets out, he will be in his seventies or eighties, nearing the end of his life, and won't have many years left to live.

These two sworn enemies will probably never see each other again for the rest of their lives. Conan and Heiji, what do you mean by trying so hard to reconcile them, resolve their hatred, and turn hostility into friendship?

If you insist on easing their relationship and resolving their hatred today, do you two, Conan and Hattori Heiji, expect Hotta Fumiko to take care of Yamauchi Masahiro when he comes out of prison decades later?

Jiang Chengbei found it laughable to see Conan showing Masahiro Yamauchi the photo of Kentaro Uchiyama from Fumiko Hotta's necklace, trying to persuade them to let go of their hatred, forgive each other, and reconcile as he had suggested.

Before the police arrived, Conan and Heiji Hattori had tried for a long time without making any progress, wasting a lot of their breath.

Although they didn't achieve anything, they made Jiang Chengbei and the other members of the Horita family less bored by watching a good show of a high school detective and an elementary school detective acting as mediators after failing to solve the case.

When the Metropolitan Police Department's Inspector Megure and his team returned, after witnessing the series of murders that had occurred in the past few days, their gazes toward Hattori Heiji became somewhat strange.

Before Hattori Heiji, this jinx, came, Conan lived in the Hokusai family home in Jiangcheng. They finally had a period of peace and quiet. Even when murders occurred, they weren't so frequent. But since Hattori Heiji came to Osaka, so many murders have happened, whether it was the Nagato family before, the Holmes tour group a few days ago, or the Horita family today. Some of them even had multiple deaths at once. It seems that Hattori Heiji is also a jinx, and he's specifically here to bring misfortune to Tokyo from Osaka.

After solving the Horita family case, they returned to Tokyo. This vacation was finally coming to an end. Conan and Heiji Hattori had to go back to school tomorrow, so Heiji Hattori had to reluctantly fly back to Osaka.

With Hattori Heiji gone, the cases that had occurred in the past few days were considered closed. To Jiang Chengbei's surprise, the system suddenly gave him 3 kill coins.

Chapter 241 Let's go skiing!

After Osaka Black Chicken left, Jiang Chengbei received a reward of 3 kill coins. It turned out that in the past few cases, there were 3 cases with three deaths that met the skill conditions for the nameless extra's counterattack.

In the Nagato family case, Hattori Heiji did not realize that Nagato Mitsuaki was killed by Ejou Kita. Instead, he mistakenly believed that Hyuga Yuki or Nagato Michizo had killed him. This was one of the "kill coins" that Ejou Kita obtained.

In the Holmes Travel Group case, Ayako Oki and Toshiaki Fujisawa, who later died in the garage explosion, were left with two more kill coins. Conan and Heiji Hattori couldn't find any other clues, and the murderer Kento Toba also admitted that he had planned to kill them.

A few days after Hattori Heiji returned, the weather turned cold, and heavy snow began to fall in many places, piling up thick snow on mountains of some altitude.

Having been in the world of Detective Conan for so long, Jiang Chengbei has never gone skiing or encountered a case on a snowy mountain. To make up for this regret, he immediately suggested going to the snowy mountain to see the snow and ski.

Jiang Chengbei's suggestion was approved by the Miyano sisters, so the four of them went up the mountain to see the snow scene at the location chosen by Conan.

As for why Conan chooses the location, it's because having the Grim Reaper Conan choose the target makes it easier to encounter cases, right?

Sure enough, upon arriving at the snow-capped villa chosen by Conan, Jiang Chengbei made a groundbreaking discovery that defied all logic.

In the past, when they went to villas in desolate mountains like this one, each villa was a solitary building with no other houses around. The surrounding area was deserted for miles. But this time, the objective laws were violated. Next to the villa they rented in the snow-capped mountains in Jiangcheng North, there were several other villas standing together.

Fortunately, this is a mountain villa resort, with no permanent residents. These villas are used for rent to accommodate tourists.

It seemed that it wasn't peak tourist season for Jiang Chengbei, as most of the villas around were empty and unrented. Only the villa next to Jiang Chengbei's was rented by a group of teachers who were out for team building.

This area only had one family from Jiangchengbei and a few teachers and professors from the medical school of Dongdu University next door. So they got to know each other and became friends during their daytime skiing and snow-viewing activities.

Unlike Jiang Chengbei and his team, who were visiting for the first time, the team from Dongdu University next door often came here for vacation to see the snow. This villa was a long-term reservation for them, paid for through the company's accounts, the kind that can be reimbursed for research expenses.

After spending a day together, Jiang Chengbei and his three friends became friends with the five students from the medical school of Dongdu University next door, and they talked a lot with each other.

When it was time for dinner, everyone gathered together and enjoyed a lively hot pot meal in a very harmonious atmosphere.

After finishing their hotpot, Jiang Chengbei and his group said goodbye and left for their rented villa next door. Meanwhile, the five-person group from the Dongdu University Medical School, led by their leader Da Shan, had Professor [name omitted] watch their usual TV dramas.

Oyama's assistant, Nakahara Kaori, went down the mountain overnight to buy food, teaching assistant Kanazawa Tomoyasu went to the bathroom for a bath, another assistant, Tobita Ginji, went skiing at night, and the remaining assistant, Esumi Kaho, stayed behind to wash dishes, clean, and do housework.

Looking at it this way, apart from the two women, Kaori Nakahara and Kaho Esumi, who need to do chores, the other three men can simply relax after dinner and enjoy a leisurely vacation without having to do anything. How wonderful!

Unlike their feudal tradition where all the housework was done by women and men didn't have to do anything, in Jiang Chengbei's family, Conan also had to do housework, so there was gender equality in their family.

However, they ate dinner at the neighboring mountain, so after saying goodbye and returning to his villa, Conan didn't have to wash dishes or do housework today.

After returning to his villa, Jiang Chengbei immediately went to the bathroom to take a bath, just like Jinze Zhikang. Then, he threw a chakra substitute doll into the bathtub and transformed into a little chubby bird, flying to the villa next door.

After arriving at Dashan Jiang's room, where he was watching a soap opera with tears in his eyes, Jiang Chengbei, who had transformed back into a human behind him, knocked Dashan Jiang unconscious with a tranquilizer dart before he even realized someone was behind him.

After hiding the anesthetic injection Da Shan Jiang, Jiang Chengbei, with the help of the Chakra Disguise Technique, transformed in an instant. He immediately became Da Shan Jiang's appearance and sat on the sofa, idly helping Da Shan Jiang continue watching a boring TV series.

After watching a soap opera out of boredom for a while, just before Jiang Chengbei ran out of patience, he finally heard what sounded like the glass behind him shattering, and the howling wind outside finally reached his ears.

The reason why the sound of the strong wind outside was louder than the sound of glass breaking was because the glass was taped before it was broken, so the window was only lightly damaged, but there was no sound like glass hitting the ground.

Anyway, there were a lot of rustling and destructive noises coming from behind him. They weren't completely drowned out by the TV sound in front, so Jiang Chengbei had to pretend he didn't hear them and forcefully suppressed the urge to turn around and scare Nakahara Kaori.

For the sake of two kill coins, Jiang Chengbei decided to hold back this time and not turn around to scare Nakahara Kaori. So Jiang Chengbei continued to pretend to be focused on watching the TV series, seemingly oblivious to what was happening behind him.

With Jiang Chengbei's utter leniency, Nakahara Kaori finally "quietly" knocked on the window, climbed into the room, and then, when she picked up a wooden stick and struck Jiang Chengbei on the head, the danger warning she got from Gin failed to provide Jiang Chengbei with any prior warning of potential life-threatening danger. So, after Jiang Chengbei took a solid blow to the head from Nakahara Kaori, he turned his head and gave the attacker a resentful look.

Thinking about how she had hit him with a stick, Jiang Chengbei rolled his eyes at her resentfully, then forced himself to close his eyes, collapsed onto the sofa, and forced himself to faint.

Jiang Chengbei's physical condition is too strong now. He's not like Conan, a weakling who can faint from a single blow when attacked from behind. This time, Jiang Chengbei didn't even get the kill token that Kaori Nakahara wanted to kill him. He didn't even have enough strength to faint. In the end, he had to force himself to pretend to faint and cooperate with Miss Kaori Nakahara.

Miss Nakahara Kaori failed to understand Jiang Chengbei's good intentions. Instead, she believed that she had knocked out the mountain general in front of her with a single blow, and that the operation was half successful.

Then, as planned, she took out a rope and tied Jiang Chengbei up tightly. After binding him securely, she laboriously dragged him to the ground and made him kneel there.

After doing all this, Nakahara Kaori woke up Oyama.

Upon discovering that Kaori Nakahara wanted him to wake up, Jiang Chengbei, who hadn't yet received the kill token, had no choice but to cooperate and wake up, using his bound body to welcome Kaori Nakahara's torment.

Kaori Nakahara felt something was off about the mountain before her, but she thought it was just a hallucination caused by her first crime and the excitement and excessive adrenaline. So she continued her plan and used her superb surgical skills to slowly slice the mountain before her.

That's right. Although Kaori Nakahara is beautiful, she is ruthless. She didn't intend to kill Oyama with one blow. She didn't want to let him get away with it so easily. Before killing him, she had to cut him into a thousand pieces and torture him to death.

So, to Jiang Chengbei's horrified gaze, his body was slashed open piece by piece by Nakahara Kaori, and he was covered in blood.

Kaori Nakahara is an assistant to a professor of surgery at the Faculty of Medicine, Toto University. Even if her surgery isn't as sophisticated as that of a professional doctor, she can still control the force and the depth of the incision.

So Jiang Chengbei, bound all over and gagged, could only watch helplessly as Nakahara Kaori took a scalpel and began to carve him into countless pieces. This scene was far more stimulating than playing SM.

With blood flowing everywhere, countless wounds on her body, and even her suit almost to shreds, Kaori Nakahara finally felt that her revenge was complete, and the hatred in her heart was almost satisfied; only the final blow remained.

So she aimed the scalpel at Jiang Chengbei's lung and stabbed him with it.

Seeing that the blood-soaked mountain before her tilted its head and collapsed to the ground motionless after her strike, Kaori Nakahara immediately sensed something was wrong and muttered to herself:

"That's not right. I aimed for his lungs. One stab should have made him have difficulty breathing and suffocate to death over a long period of time. How could he have died so quickly?"

Hearing Kaori Nakahara's self-talk, Jiang Chengbei, who had been pretending to be dead by sticking a chakra fake skin on his neck so that no one could feel his carotid artery pulse and by holding his breath, immediately came back to life. He pretended to be unable to breathe and struggled on the ground in pain.

"It turns out you were so frightened that you went into shock. It's good that you didn't die. Now you have trouble breathing, and this pain will continue to accompany you until you suffocate to death."

"Teacher, this is my reward for plagiarizing my paper. You can just wait to die."

After saying that, Kaori Nakahara arrogantly left before Kojo Kita had completely died, leaving "Oyama Sho" to slowly suffocate to death in the room.

After Kaori Nakahara left, Jiang Chengbei, who had been pretending to be unable to breathe, immediately returned to normal. At the same time, the ropes binding him were cut open, and he fell to the ground.

Then the blood on his body and the blood on the ground, all the blood plasma he bought from the system store, disappeared with a casual touch and returned to the system warehouse.

Fortunately, Da Shan will be a big fat man, and Jiang Chengbei will need a thick layer of chakra skin and other things to fill his body to become Da Shan, as well as several layers of clothes. At the same time, Nakahara Kaori is just a professor's assistant in the medical school of a university. She has rich theoretical knowledge, but her ability to perceive flesh and blood is still a little worse than that of a regular doctor.

Therefore, when Jiang Chengbei was subjected to the death by a thousand cuts, the executioner failed to distinguish that the cuts on Jiang Chengbei's body were chakra skin, failed to recognize that the blood flowing from his body was plasma from the system store, and failed to pierce Jiang Chengbei with the final cut, only piercing through Jiang Chengbei's thick chakra fake skin, fake flesh, and other fillers.

He recycled everything he could from the system store, turning the previously chaotic and hellish room into a clean and spotless space, leaving no trace of him. Then he took out the mountain he had hidden, tied it with a rope, and stabbed it in the heart, thus fulfilling Kaori Nakahara's wish.

By ensuring that Oyama Sho died peacefully in his sleep without suffering any pain, Jiang Chengbei could be considered to have done Oyama Sho and Nakahara Kaori a great favor.

He helped Kaori Nakahara avenge her plagiarism and also saved Oyama from the torment before his death. By all accounts, it seems that both of them owe him a great favor.

After doing all this, the room was tidied up, leaving no trace of Jiang Chengbei. Then, Jiang Chengbei transformed into a little chubby bird and flew away through the window that had been smashed by Nakahara Kaori.

Jiang Chengbei returned to the villa next door and took a relaxing bath for a while. Then, the people from the villa next door rushed over in a panic, bringing Jiang Chengbei and his companions some unfortunate news.

After all, in this snow-capped mountain villa area, there are only Jiang Chengbei and his group. Since a murder has occurred in their villa, it is only right for them to come and inform Jiang Chengbei and his group so that they can come and help.

After discovering that Oyama was dead in his room, several of Oyama's colleagues and students looked very uneasy, especially Kaori Nakahara, the murderer, who was speechless with shock upon seeing the scene.

Especially since she clearly remembered that Dashan's body was covered in wounds, all the wounds inflicted by her inflicting countless cuts and slow slicing, but now they were all gone, leaving only a fatal wound that pierced his heart, which instantly plunged her into self-doubt.

Aside from the fact that the wounds on Ooyama's body were not right, his suit was completely intact, and the pools of blood he had left on the ground were gone. All these completely inconsistent circumstances caused Nakahara Kaori to instantly fall into a nightmare where she seemed to have just had a dream in which she killed someone. When she woke up, she found that the person was indeed dead, but the person she killed was different from the one she had killed. It was a nightmare in which she could not distinguish between reality and illusion.

Seeing the scene before her, Kaori Nakahara kept secretly pinching her thigh, which was now covered in large bruises. She couldn't tell whether she was in reality or a dream, and even the pain in her body couldn't help her confirm her current situation.

While Kaori Nakahara was suffering from schizophrenia, Conan began investigating the case.

Of course, since no police or detectives were present when the body was discovered, there was no need to worry about the detectives disturbing the crime scene. All that was needed was to rule out any misleading traces left by Oyama's four colleagues.

This time, Conan stayed next door and didn't join the four people in discovering the body. So, without Conan's intervention, they all went into the room together after discovering the body, leaving their traces inside. Therefore, the crime scene was more thoroughly disturbed than when only Conan was there.

Since the four deceased's colleagues and suspects had all been to the crime scene after the deaths, Conan and Jiang Chengbei, the detective and police officer, were even more likely to go inside and search the scene.

Moreover, it has been snowing heavily for quite some time now, and the snow has blocked the mountain passes, so the police can't come tonight. The task of solving this case can only be entrusted to Conan and Jiang Chengbei. They are forced to enter the room to look for clues because of the circumstances.
