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

Page 139

Having been caught in the rain all night, Conan, suffering from a cold and fever and utterly exhausted, had no time to think about his reputation. He was completely drained and barely managed to drag his weary body back to his lodgings.

Like Conan, Jiang Chengbei and Miyano Akemi were also exhausted after a crazy night, so they were still fast asleep. Even after Conan returned, he could only go back to his room, lie down on the bed, and quickly fall asleep.

-----------------

Shortly after Conan returned at dawn, Shiho, who slept on the third floor with Akemi Koshino instead of sleeping on the second floor with Conan, had recovered after a night's sleep, thanks to the cold and fever medicine she had taken earlier.

When Shiho woke up and saw the unfamiliar surroundings, she remembered that she seemed to have seen her older sister again before going to bed last night. So she immediately got up, put on her cute pajamas, and started looking for her sister, afraid that last night was just a dream.

Then, due to Shiho's loud shouting, Jiang Chengbei and Miyano Akemi were also woken up by her.

After noticing movement in the next room, Xiaozhibao rushed in without knocking, calling out for her sister. There she saw her sister and Jiang Chengbei, a little kid about her age, sleeping naked together.

"You! You..."

Bang!

Shiho realized what was happening and shouted "You guys!" but after failing to say anything else, she quickly retreated and slammed the door shut!

When Shiho, still fuming outside, finally calmed down and realized she was alive, Miyano Akemi, fully dressed and a little embarrassed, and Jiang Chengbei, who was shameless to the point of being embarrassed, came out together.

"elder sister……"

"Shiho..."

Fortunately, having gone through life and death together, the two sisters, who had thought the other was dead, forgot their earlier embarrassment as soon as they met. They excitedly hugged each other and cried tears of happiness.

They weren't embarrassed; the only one who felt awkward was Jiang Chengbei, who stood to the side, ignored by everyone.

Jiang Chengbei tried several times to join in the sisters' conversation, but neither of them paid any attention to him. So he said, "I'm going to prepare breakfast," and went to the kitchen to pretend to be busy. In reality, he was browsing various breakfast options in the system store, preparing to buy a lavish breakfast to celebrate.

After a long time, the Miyano sisters' excitement after surviving a near-death experience finally subsided, and they calmed down, allowing Jiang Chengbei, who had finished his breakfast, to finally join the conversation.

In their conversation just now, they recounted their experiences to each other.

Akemi Miyano learned how Shiho Miyano shrunk, and Shiho Miyano learned about Akemi Miyano's experiences these past few days, as well as that Jiang Chengbei saved her sister, that her sister faked her death to escape, and that she had deceived Gin.

"Jiang Cheng, thank you..."

"You're welcome, it's what I should do."

"But, Xiao Zhibao, you should call me brother-in-law now. Just call me Jiang Cheng. You're being very rude."

Hearing Jiang Chengbei's smug words, Miyano Shiho gritted her teeth angrily. She opened her mouth, seemingly about to mock Jiang Chengbei, but seeing her sister's shy expression, she didn't say anything more.

Miyano Shiho didn't know Jiang Chengbei's intentions, but Jiang Chengbei didn't let her off the hook, still calling her "Little Shiho" just like her older sister.

The way Jiang Chengbei was addressed, the same as her sister's name, always made Shiho Miyano feel uncomfortable.

Her older sister called her Xiao Zhibao, which gave her a warm feeling, but when Jiang Chengbei used the same name, she only felt teased, as if Jiang Chengbei was mocking her for now turning into a child.

When Shiho Komiya raised her objections, Kita Eri understandingly nodded in agreement:

"Shiho, you're right. You can't use the name Miyano Shiho anymore. You should give yourself a new name."

After hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, Shiho Miyano sulked for a moment, then turned to Akemi Miyano and said:

"Sister, Jiang Cheng is right. We can't use our original names anymore. What do you think would be a good surname for us from now on?"

Facing little Shiho, Akemi Miyano said with a kind smile, "You can have any surname you want, whatever you say, my lovely little Shiho."

After saying that, Akemi Miyano affectionately ruffled Shiho Miyano's big head.

“That’s right, Xiao Zhibao, you can choose whatever surname and given name you want. Your sister will be surnamed Jiangcheng from now on, so you don’t need to consider her opinion.”

Jiang Chengbei waved his hand and said happily, "Life is still better in the West. After marriage, wives have to change their surnames to their husbands' surnames. Unlike Dongda University, even in ancient times there was no such feudal dregs. It's unacceptable."

"Hmph!" Little Miyano Shiho snorted in dissatisfaction after hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, but seeing her older sister's happy face, she said nothing more.

As she pondered what new name to choose, Shiho Miyano couldn't help but think that although she had escaped the brewery and shrunk, she had lived there since childhood, and some people had seen her as a child.

Thinking about this, her heart sank.

Unlike her sister, who had successfully faked her death and escaped, she herself was of little importance to the distillery. She knew exactly how important she was to the distillery.

The thought of living with her sister in the future, and how her identity might be accidentally exposed, could implicate her sister who had faked her death and started a new life, weighed heavily on Shiho Miyano's mind.

When I'm in a bad mood, the name I choose for myself immediately reflects it.

When Shiho Miyano said that she would be called Ai Haibara from now on, both Kojo Kita and Akemi Miyano looked surprised.

Jiang Chengbei was surprised that Professor Agasa hadn't appeared or offered any suggestions, yet Shiho Miyano had come up with the same name that Professor Agasa had suggested in the original series.

Akemi Miyano frowned and said, "Shiho, isn't the name Ai Haibara too depressing? It's both 'gray' and 'sorrow' in it, which isn't good."

"It's okay, sister. From now on, I'll be called Ai Haibara."

As the newly reborn Haibara smiled and said her new name, she couldn't help but wonder if she should find a chance to leave her sister so that her sister could live a peaceful, happy, and ordinary life.

After Shiho Miyano gave herself a new name, Akemi Miyano also slightly changed her name: Satomi Eishiro. Her original name was Satomi Haibara, but now that she's with Eishiro, she's naturally Satomi Eishiro.

For some reason, Akemi Miyano always chose pseudonyms that ended with the character "美" (mi, meaning beautiful/beautiful). Her previous pseudonyms, Masami Hirota, her current pseudonym, Satomi Eishiro, and her original pseudonym, Akemi Miyano, all ended with "美". It's really strange.

After Ai and Mei received new names, Jiang Chengbei told them a shocking piece of news: Conan, like Ai, had also shrunk after consuming ATPX4869, and his original form was Shinichi Kudo.

When Jiang Chengbei said that Conan was Shinichi Kudo, Ai and Mei were shocked and speechless.

After her initial shock, Xiaomei suddenly said, "Abei, does that mean Conan is like you? He's also a police officer, and the leader of your team?"

Upon hearing that Miyano Akemi, now known as Jiang Cheng Rimi, affectionately called Xiao Mei, was asked this question, Jiang Chengbei felt a little guilty for his previous loose tongue and fabrication. Therefore, he had no choice but to continue fabricating stories to cover up the previous one:

"How should I put it? Actually, there are two Shinichi Kudos in this world, or rather, two Conans."

The Shinichi Kudo, the police chief I'm talking about, is not the Conan you see.

Our group leader looks exactly like Shinichi Kudo. He is actually Yusaku Kudo's illegitimate son. As for his real name, that's not important. He has never told us.

Because our undercover work within the police force is something we can't do behind closed doors, and at the same time, there are many undercover agents within our police force working for distilleries, the CIA, the FBI, and so on.

Especially the CIA and FBI, they don't need undercover agents at all. If they wanted to, they could directly lead us and get all our information. We have to obey them unconditionally.

So in order to maintain our independence and not be controlled by them, our team leader stole Shinichi Kudo's identity.

Of course, the reason our team leader used Shinichi Kudo's identity was because Shinichi Kudo had first stolen Conan Edogawa's identity, and as revenge, he stole Shinichi Kudo's identity.

In short, Shinichi Kudo and Conan Edogawa look exactly alike, and they steal each other's accounts and identities.

For a long time, no, even now I can't tell them apart; I was often fooled by them.

After listening to Jiang Chengbei's introduction, Ai Haibara immediately asked her question:

"You can't tell them apart, so they're all children now? Did they all become children because they took ATPX4869?"

"I'm not sure. Conan is a kid, that's true, but our team leader seems to have the antidote."

When I met him, sometimes he was a child who looked exactly like Conan, and sometimes he was a high school student who looked exactly like Shinichi Kudo.

Anyway, they look exactly alike, and I can't tell them apart. What's worse, they often impersonate each other and deceive me frequently.

"There's an antidote? I developed ATPX4869, how come I didn't know there was an antidote?" Xiao Ai was shocked after hearing Jiang Chengbei's words.

"I don't know about that. Anyway, I heard that the reason our team leader got the antidote was because after he had a cold and fever, he drank a cup of Chinese liquor and turned back into an adult."

He then went to a laboratory, extracted the active ingredient from the liquor, and after concentration and enhancement, he had a temporary antidote to increase his size.

Upon hearing Jiang Chengbei's words, Miyano Akemi exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful, Shiho! This way, you can grow bigger too!"

Chapter 198 Ai: Conan, come here and finish this bottle of baijiu.

When the topic turned to the possibility of shrinking back to normal, the Miyano sisters exchanged a glance and immediately perked up.

"When I returned the photo disk that my sister showed me last time, I accidentally gave her the wrong one. Instead of photos, I gave her the lab data for drug A."

Ai's reminder reminded Akemi, who had changed her name to Rimi, that she remembered: "I gave the disk to my university professor."

After the two sisters discussed it, they decided to go to Professor Hirota's place immediately to retrieve the wrong disk.

So Jiang Chengbei and the other two set off, completely forgetting about Conan, who had been caught in the rain all night and went home to sleep after catching a cold.

After driving for several hours, Jiang Chengbei and his group finally arrived at the home of Professor Hirota Masami of Nanyang University in Shizuoka Prefecture.

Professor Hirota is unlucky to have Akemi Miyano as a student.

Akemi Miyano went out to do illegal things, robbed banks and became a criminal, and insisted on marrying a man named Masami Hirota, whose pronunciation was exactly the same as her teacher, Masami Hirota. That's unbelievable, she's so incredibly filial.

Miyano Akemi is currently faking her death at the brewery. Jiang Chengbei reminded her that if she didn't want to implicate Professor Hirota, she shouldn't let him know she's still alive. So, Miyano Akemi disguised herself and went to find Professor Hirota under a different identity.

Although Conan didn't come, Jiang Chengbei also had a death aura. So when the three of them arrived, Jiang Chengbei's death aura suddenly activated, and he happened to bump into a young man who was about to ambush a middle-aged man with an ashtray.

Because Jiang Chengbei and his group rang the doorbell at that moment, Professor Guangtian moved slightly after hearing the doorbell, causing Bai Cangyang, who was attacking from behind, to deviate from his target and smash the ashtray onto his shoulder.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing that Shirakura Yo's first attack missed and he was about to finish off Shirakura Yo, Professor Hirota grabbed Shirakura Yo's hand holding the ashtray while shouting loudly:

"Help! Someone's killing someone!"

Hearing the shouts coming from inside the house, and with other witnesses present, Jiang Chengbei acted very proactively. He burst through the door and subdued Professor Hirota and Shirakura, who were wrestling together.

Seeing that Professor Hirota, who should have been dead, was still alive, only with a bruise on his shoulder from Shirakura Yo's beating, Jiang Chengbei grumbled discontentedly at his own death aura:

A counterfeit is a counterfeit; it's not as powerful as Conan.

Soon, Coral Head Detective from Shizuoka Prefecture arrived, and he and Jiang Chengbei stared at each other in surprise.

"Why is it you again? What brings you to Shizuoka?"

"What are you doing here, Officer Yokomizo? What are you doing in Shizuoka?"

After Jiang Chengbei and Henggou Canwu asked the same question in unison, Henggou Canwu was the first to react:

"It's all because when you came to Saitama last time, I was too enthusiastic at the beginning and invited you to stay longer. That led to a lot of trouble later, so many cases happened and so many people died. In the end, I couldn't stay any longer and had to be transferred to Shizuoka."

Seeing Yokomizo Sango's resentful expression, Jiang Chengbei felt no embarrassment whatsoever. After all, Conan was the culprit, so what did it have to do with him, no matter how many cases occurred?

After learning about the case, and discovering that the murder was stopped by Jiang Chengbei and his team who arrived just in time, and that no one died this time, Yokomizo Sango breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, after failing to find Conan, the Grim Reaper, near Jiang Chengbei, Yokomizo Sango immediately understood why no one had died this time.

"Thank goodness, Conan didn't come, otherwise there would have been a murder."

Professor Hirota, you were lucky to survive this time; Shirakura Yo, your attempted murder failed. You both have Mr. Jiang Cheng to thank.

After listening to Yokomizo's words, Professor Hirota nodded in agreement:

"Officer Yokomizo is right. If Mr. Jiangcheng hadn't knocked on the door just in time, saving me from a fatal blow, and if Mr. Jiangcheng hadn't broken down the door and subdued Shirakura, saving my life, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
