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

Moreover, this time, in order to avoid leaving behind their traditional method of relying on air support whenever they encounter difficulties, they actually changed their approach, using tanks to cover up the truth. Only an arrogant guy with a brain that can't think straight would come up with such a method.

The one-eyed superior continued to nod: "Not bad, replacing air support with tank support looks different, without any trace of their usual way of doing things, but this is also superfluous."

In Japan, who else but the Self-Defense Forces could deploy tanks without anyone noticing, and then disappear without a trace, leaving no clues?

"Moreover, when I was searching Jiang Chengbei's house, a guy named Tennessee Whiskey suddenly appeared. He's quite something too. There are just too many coincidences."

When I went undercover in Jiangcheng North, he definitely recognized me immediately, or he probably already knew I was a police officer, which is why he would remind me from time to time to get lost.

Unfortunately, I'm shameless and insisted on staying, which is why he later brought in his accomplice, Tennessee, who obtained evidence that I was a public security police officer.

"You mean that Tennessee Whiskey was an undercover agent they sent into the organization?"

"It's possible, but not necessarily. Maybe it's an imposter who just gave himself a random code name. But they must have other spies in the organization, otherwise they wouldn't know my code name."

The reason Rum gave me this mission might be because we were all wrong before. It might not be that Tennessee hadn't had time to tell his superiors that I was an undercover agent, but rather that he never intended to do so in the first place.

As long as he holds onto the evidence he has, he has the potential to threaten us and force us to do things for them.

Although they can openly give us orders to do things for them, we can also pretend to comply and dawdle when it's something that's not in our best interest or something we don't want to do.

But things are different now. They have leverage over us, so they're not afraid we won't do our jobs properly. Otherwise, they'll tell the organization that I'm a police officer and use me as a tool to kill us.

"That's right, these damn bastards, they act with impunity here, doing whatever they want, they're used to being lawless and don't take us seriously at all."

Even our prime minister, they can replace him or arrest him at will. What is there that they wouldn't do?

"These bastards, I'll get rid of them one day!"

After hearing Amuro Tooru's grand ambition, the one-eyed boss blinked his only remaining eye:

"Zero, when I had two eyes, I thought the same thing, but now I only have one eye left."

"Hey, young man, you need to keep going."

Toru Amuro:......

Next, Amuro Tooru discussed with his one-eyed superior how to investigate the attack on Gin in Nagoya, and how to deal with Kojo Kita, a pawn that was out in the open.

They desperately wanted to arrest and imprison Jiang Chengbei, this traitor who had defected to the other side of the ocean and worked for them, but they hadn't found any evidence of Jiang Chengbei's crimes yet. Without a legitimate reason, they couldn't touch the dog kept by their master.

Moreover, Amuro Tooru's true identity has been discovered by them. These arrogant guys who don't treat them like human beings are actually capable of handing over their information to that organization, doing something that pleases their enemies and hurts their own. Therefore, Amuro Tooru and his group have no choice but to compromise and find an opportunity to assassinate Jiang Chengbei, the loyal dog of his master.

After discussing the matter, Amuro Tooru, a man who put the country above all else, disregarded his still-healing wounds and immediately went through the discharge procedures.

Then Amuro Tooru, leaning on his cane, flew to Nagoya to investigate how Jiang Chengbei attacked Gin Vodka, whether he did it himself or directed it from the rear. In any case, he wanted to find out Jiang Chengbei's weakness so that they could threaten each other and neither could command the other.

As a model worker in the public security system, if you consider that even when he's undercover, he still has to take time to go to the police station from time to time to lead teams on missions, Amuro Tooru is actually a more competent model worker than Gin.

After all, have you ever seen an undercover agent who, while undercover, still has to wear a police uniform, return to the police station to lead a team to investigate cases and carry out missions?

While infiltrating the enemy, he also returned to his own side to lead the team, becoming the most capable and highest-performing member of his team. Who else but Amuro Tooru, the king of part-time jobs, could pull off such a daring maneuver?

Anyway, having accepted Rum's mission, and also so that he could get rid of Jiang Chengbei's threat in the future, Amuro Tooru, despite being injured and on crutches, still began working diligently in Nagoya.

Both the red and black sides have their own information channels, and Amuro Tooru quickly found out several key time points in Jiang Chengbei's time in Nagoya.

Gin was attacked around the same time that passersby heard explosions and machine gun fire from afar.

If we really want to be precise, down to the minute and second, then Jiang Chengbei's figure appeared on the surveillance cameras in downtown Nagoya just minutes after the cannon fire.

At the same time, he got into an argument with a shop owner here, punched the owner, and then ran away.

Finally, after the shop owner gathered a group of local thugs and searched all over Nagoya for more than an hour for Jiang Chengbei who was hiding, and after a gunfight broke out on their side for half an hour, Jiang Chengbei was finally found by them, beaten up again, and finally appeared at the Jiaoban Office to be educated.

This is Jiang Chengbei's movement trajectory during the several vicious gunfights, which Amuro Tooru quickly investigated.

Chapter 169 Jiangcheng North: Touzi, what a coincidence, I'm also a policeman.

While Gin was being attacked in the suburbs, Jiang Chengbei was fighting in the city center.

If you're having a gunfight in Tokyo, and then half an hour later in Jiangcheng North, you're still fighting in Nagoya, which is two hours away from the Shinkansen, isn't that just trying to cover up the truth and adding unnecessary details?

Although Jiang Chengbei has alibis for both cases, with so many people organized, so many field personnel, and even the ability to command the garrison, is it really necessary for them to take matters into their own hands?

Having gathered so much information from his investigation, Amuro Tooru reported all the findings, along with his own thoughts and speculations, to his one-eyed superior.

As for Rum, Amuro Tooru wasn't so honest. He edited and omitted information, presenting Rum with a report on what he, as an ordinary person, could do to investigate, based on his own experience as a member of the organization and his lack of public security background.

Although the mission was completed without arousing suspicion from the organization, the presence of Tennessee as a ticking time bomb made Amuro Tooru's survival within the organization even more difficult, as he could encounter hidden arrows from his own side at any time.

Amuro Tooru, who is walking on thin ice, can only maintain a balance of power and live in peace by quickly finding the organization's leader who claims to be from Tennessee, or by finding their mole within the organization.

While Amuro Tooru was investigating Gin's attack in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, his one-eyed superior was also troubled by how Amuro Tooru could get away with not being punished by law after his public gunfight.

At first, they thought Amuro Tooru had been exposed, so they didn't pay much attention to keeping it a secret afterward. Now that they realize they haven't been exposed yet, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and fill in the gaps.

So, under the orders of his one-eyed superior, the Metropolitan Police Department sent a public security officer to each household who witnessed Amuro Tooru's gunfight that day to pay money and sign confidentiality agreements, stipulating that they would be held legally responsible if the events of that day were leaked.

In particular, Jiang Chengbei and Kogoro Mouri, although they were not present during the gunfight, had already guessed that Amuro Tooru was a policeman.

In order to get them to sign confidentiality agreements, Jiang Chengbei, Kogoro Mouri's family, and Conan all received a large sum of confidentiality fees from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Watching the Metropolitan Police Department officers casually cut off a large chunk of their own flesh and waste it on cleaning up the messes and tidying up the backs of incompetent people, thus affecting their own benefits,

The ordinary police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department hate those arrogant public security officers who take money from their welfare when they are short of funds. Conan and the public security officers are not allowed to enter. This is their most genuine wish.

Your police headquarters are in the National Police Agency, so why are you taking money from the Metropolitan Police Department when you don't have enough funding?

Damn Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau, you bunch of traitors!

They eat our food and drink our water, but they're completely loyal to the National Police Agency and the Public Security Bureau—traitors who betray their own people!

Especially Kazami Yuya, that big traitor, the lackey of the Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau. He usually acts high and mighty towards his colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau, looking down on them, but he is completely obedient and sycophantic towards that mysterious Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau ...

Because of the loss of welfare benefits, the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department are cursing the Metropolitan Police Department Public Security for taking their hard-earned money to clean up the mess of the Metropolitan Police Department Public Security. The first to be criticized is Yuya Kazami, Amuro Tooru's number one subordinate.

On the other side, Jiang Chengbei and Kogoro Mouri were happily counting the compensation and confidentiality fees given by the police.

Kogoro Mouri was happy because after such a long period of not receiving any fees or commissions, he was finally able to stand up again and had money in his pocket.

Jiang Chengbei was happy because he had blown up his own house, and after having a good time, he could still get compensation from the party whose house was destroyed. How wonderful!

It must be a very happy thing to be a father who can take care of his family.

Even if it's just a fake father, you can still use his power to your advantage. If you slap him, you can get compensation for the pain in your hand and a fee for your hard work. How could you not be happy?

Although this small amount of compensation and confidentiality fee is negligible compared to Jiang Chengbei's assets, the money is meaningful. Unlike the previous ill-gotten gains, this money can be spent openly and honestly, which makes him happy.

Jiang Chengbei happily counted the money while calculating the gains and losses of this incident. Transforming into Shinichi Kudo consumed one transformation opportunity, and now he has 3 transformation opportunities left to become Conan/Shinichi Kudo.

This is the consumption, but what is the gain?

Gin and Vodka fired first, so Jiang Chengbei got a total of 2 kill coins from them.

Later, in the firefight with Amuro Tooru and his police unit, Jiang Chengbei was the one who fired first, but he used blank bullets, while the police retaliated with real, deadly bullets.

Therefore, Jiang Chengbei obtained a total of 16 kill coins from this group of people. 10 kill coins were obtained from 5 public security officers who may have appeared in the original drama, such as Amuro Tooru and Kazami Yuya. The other 6 kill coins were obtained from 6 public security officers who were not part of the original drama.

After deducting 6 attempts, the highlight moment of the level 2 nameless extra has a total of 30 non-story character assassination bonus attempts, of which 22 attempts have been used, leaving only 8 out of 30.

Amuro Tooru and Kazami Yu are also regular characters who appear multiple times. When they encounter a plot case, they will transform into Kudo Shinichi and wander in front of them again.

Considering that they killed five of their police colleagues at the last moment, they will definitely avenge their fallen comrades by shooting them on sight. They won't need to go through the trouble of verbal provocation and blank rounds like they did this time.

If they can tolerate this, then the deaths of these five police officers were for nothing.

Gin's side has 2+ Amuro Tooru's side has 16+ the remaining 6, and Jiang Chengbei now has 24 kill coins.

24K Kill Coins are just 24K pure kill coins. Why does it feel like they're insulting themselves?

Besides the kill coins gained from these two firefights, many new skills appeared in the Science Mall in Jiangcheng North. Amuro Tooru was the biggest force, with more skills than the other four police officers combined.

Among Amuro Tooru's skills, the most overpowered is his Sacrifice, which allows him to inherit his friend's skills after death. Unfortunately, Jiang Chengbei has not yet reached the point of killing his friend to prove his path, becoming inhuman, and spending the rest of his life in regret and pain. So he immediately spent 10 kill coins to buy it.

Hmm, what if Conan, Mori, Megure, Amuro Tooru, Gin, Vodka, and other good friends died before I inherited their abilities? Wouldn't that make me even more murderous?

Now that they have the skill of sacrifice, regardless of what they think, from now on they are Jiang Chengbei's good friends.

Thinking back to how badly I beat Gin and Vodka, and how I would finish them off after killing them, yet I still let them go without hesitation, doesn't that make us good friends?

And Amuro Tooru, even I couldn't bring myself to throw a grenade at him. We were shooting at each other, it was a life-or-death struggle, and I still didn't throw a bomb at Amuro Tooru. This is not something an ordinary friend would do. Only a good friend would show such mercy!

Anyway, after buying the Sacrifice skill, Jiang Chengbei silently told the system in his heart how much he regarded Gin, Amuro, Conan and others as good friends, and how deep his feelings for them were. Considering how sincere his feelings were, if they died, he asked them to leave their skills to him.

That way, even if they die, they'll leave him with something to remember him by, and leave something for the world, so they don't leave without leaving anything behind.

After purchasing Amuro Tooru's ability to sacrifice friends, the prices of his other skills, such as cooking, driving, shooting, boxing, lock picking, and bomb defusing, all doubled, and future upgrades would also double, so Jiang Chengbei didn't buy any more for the time being.

Next up are the skills of the four public security officers, including Kazami Yuya. Coincidentally, the items they put on the Conan Mall are the same, and they are not skills or abilities, but the same thing: public security police identification!

In other words, apart from police handbooks, they are useless, without any ability or skill!

I tried spending 1 kill coin to buy a police handbook, and then a real one appeared in my system inventory. The picture on it is what the police handbook looks like in Jiangchengbei now.

Now, Jiang Chengbei is a fake policeman who, while not having any information about him in the Metropolitan Police Department's files, can carry real police notebooks with his photo on them, real police pistols, real police uniforms, real police handcuffs, and other real police tools.

Yes, Jiang Chengbei is now a fake policeman who is real in every way except for his fake identity. There is no file, no information, no salary, no police benefits, and no social security in the Metropolitan Police Department.

After taking the real police journal into his hands, Jiang Chengbei carefully examined it from beginning to end. He found no difference from the real thing, and he also discovered that the police journal could be upgraded.

Each upgrade costs the same number of kill coins as previous skill upgrades. This police notebook now requires 2 kill coins to upgrade one level, and the next upgrade is level 4, and so on in an exponential manner.

While the upgrade sounded good, the benefits it brought were a real pain for Jiang Chengbei; it was utterly useless.

The main advantage is that the upgrade only allows you to change the photo, name, and other personal information once, and you can also be promoted one rank.

For example, this police handbook has his current name and photo of Jiang Chengbei printed on it. He is currently a patrol officer, and after promotion, he can become a police inspector.

But what use is a police rank to a fake policeman like him who has no salary or benefits?

Moreover, he wanted to get a police handbook that the police inspector had replaced, or a police handbook with a different name and a different profile picture. He could just buy another police handbook from the Ke Xue Mall.

Anyway, right now in the Ke Xue Mall, there are still three police notebooks by Kazami Yuya and two other public security officers available for purchase.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengbei tried using Shinichi Kudo's name and appearance, and spent 1 kill coin to buy a police notebook.

Now, the boasts he made to Professor Agasa under the identity of Shinichi Kudo have come true.

When I become Shinichi Kudo next time, I'll find some time to visit Professor Agasa and show him my new police journal. That way, I can prove to him that I wasn't lying, that I, Shinichi Kudo, am really working for the police, and that I've really become a policeman.

Of course, as for why you can't find your information in the police files, it's simple: you're not high enough in rank. How can someone who isn't high enough rank find out about a super police officer like yourself who is infiltrating America's core?

Jiang Chengbei had already figured it out. The next time he met Amuro Tooru, he could take out his police notebook and say to him: Tooru, what a coincidence, I'm also a police officer.

After spending 10 kill coins to buy the sacrifice and 2 kill coins to buy the police handbook, Jiang Chengbei now has 12 kill coins left.
