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

Soon, everyone except for Mr. Kazuki Gozo, the head of the Kazuki family, arrived at the restaurant. The only one missing was the old man who was in charge of the Kazuki family but had a bad temper and was not a very good person.

Chapter 201 Upon waking up, Kogoro Mouri once again thought he had solved the case, but the result was quite embarrassing.

Since Conan was present, Jiang Chengbei did not try to stop the murder. When the butler, Suzuki Kenji, went to invite Master Tomamoto Gozo to dinner, he found that he had been murdered in his room, and the door was locked from the inside, which was a basic locked-room murder.

This time, without the involvement of the two famous detectives, Conan and Kogoro Mouri, the members of the Tomamoto family, after revealing each other's secrets, put forward Tomamoto Takeshi, who had a motive for murder, was not one of their own, and was the most antisocial person, as the murderer.

Takeshi Motomoto, the newlywed groom who just finished his wedding and Natsue Motomoto's new husband who moved in with her family, should have been enjoying his happiest moment. However, his true identity was exposed by Mariko Motomoto and others.

His original name was Takehiko Zaishi, and his father, Nagao Zaishi, was originally the sole heir to the Zaishi Group.

However, more than a decade ago, due to the machinations of Tomoto Gozo, the Zaijo Group went bankrupt and was liquidated, leading to Zaijo Nagao's suicide by jumping off a building.

So his previous aliasing and approach to the Tsuchimoto family was for revenge, a fact that Tsuchimoto Gozo had just investigated and was already aware of.

In the time leading up to the meal, Goro Motomoto had already brought up the matter with Takeshi Motomoto in his room, and had threatened and scolded him, which led to an argument.

Their argument was overheard by Mariko Tobimoto, who happened to be passing by, and this became the motive and timing for Takeshi Tobimoto to kill Musashi Tobimoto.

Although everyone had the motive to kill Musashi and inherit the family fortune, the others had at least been part of the family for several years, while Musashi was a young man who had only recently married into the family.

Moreover, when Musashi was alive, he favored Natsue Motomoto the most and left a will that she was his heir. Therefore, everyone else unanimously targeted Musashi Motomoto, unanimously believing that he was the murderer, and locked him up.

Because two murders will occur in succession, Conan's brain isn't working very well. His extraordinary deductive abilities are temporarily sealed, and he has no clue about the real culprit. He can only watch helplessly as Takeshi Tomoto is imprisoned, and then he forgets about the culprit who hasn't been caught yet. He stands on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, looking at the moon, and singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

When he lived at Jiang Chengbei's house, if he dared to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on the rooftop, Jiang Chengbei would shut down his chakra superpowers. So at most, he could only ride his chakra skateboard to a place a little further away, where the sound couldn't reach the fruit shop to sing.

Tonight, on the high seas, on the sailing ship, as long as Conan stands at the stern, his awful singing will be blown away by the sea breeze and fall behind the cruise ship. So tonight, Jiang Chengbei didn't care that Conan was singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Conan singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to the moon immediately piqued the curiosity of the Miyano sisters. To comfort the heartbroken Natsue Tomoe, they began to criticize Conan for his terrible singing, despite his thick skin and complete lack of awareness.

As they were enjoying the sea breeze at the stern of the ship, they heard unusual noises ahead. When they ran ahead, they saw Tatsuo Kamamoto sitting on the ground, beaten to death, and Ichiro Kamamoto chasing after Jiang Chengbei with a weapon in hand.

Knowing that two people had died tragically, Jiang Chengbei, with his dark heart, neither stopped the first murder nor prevented the second one from happening.

It was only after Ichiro Tomoto killed two people that Jiang Chengbei emerged from the cabin and became a witness to the second murder, when he killed Tatsuo Tomoto.

Although Ichiro Tōmoto appears to be an introverted, taciturn boy who is always drawing, after killing two people, Jiang Chengbei, as an eyewitness, quickly obtained 2 kill coins and the new drawing skill was added to the Conan Shop.

Seeing Conan and his friends arrive at the stern, Kogoro Mouri and the others inside the ship also ran out. Jiang Chengbei then made his move, dodging Ichiro Tomoto's attack and subduing him.

Since Ichiro Motomoto was holding the murder weapon that killed Tatsuo Motomoto, and there was also Jiang Chengbei as an eyewitness, it was a foregone conclusion that Ichiro Motomoto killed Tatsuo Motomoto.

Originally, Ichiro Tomoemoto seemed honest and introverted, only focused on painting and oblivious to the world around him. However, he actually killed someone, and Mariko Tomoemoto, unable to accept that he was a murderer, immediately started making a scene.

When her husband, Tatsuo Tomori, was killed, Akie Tomori, who also felt that this was unacceptable, immediately clashed with her aunt, Mariko Tomori.

Neither of these two women were easy to deal with; both were extremely controlling, had bad tempers, were arrogant, and had foul mouths, so they immediately started arguing.

For a long time, under the domineering influence of Mariko Tsuchimoto, Hokuro Tsuchimoto, a son-in-law accustomed to being a useless husband, stood by meekly and anxiously, even though his son had committed murder. He couldn't help at all and had no ideas whatsoever.

Similarly, Ichiro Tomoto, who was used to being a spineless mama's boy, even though he was now a murderer who killed two people, lost all his fierceness when he wanted to kill Kojou Kita to silence him after his mother, Mariko Tomoto, came. He hid behind Mariko without saying a word, becoming timid and submissive, and reverted to being a mama's boy hiding under his mother's wing.

Since Ichiro was caught red-handed when he killed Tatsuo, the reasons for his murder and whether he killed Gozo, the previous victim, are worth investigating.

Under the protection of the unreasonable Mariko, Kogoro Mouri and his friends failed to obtain a single confession from the culprit, Ichiro Matsumura. Therefore, Conan and Kogoro Mouri decided to investigate the truth themselves.

With the suspect identified, Conan was able to investigate and uncover the truth after a period of hard work, simply by following the clues.

So, Conan gathered everyone together, knocked out Kogoro Mouri with a chakra tranquilizer dart, and made him perform an opening dance for everyone, titled "Sleeping Kogoro Mouri," before finally sitting properly on the sofa with his head down.

"Listen to me, everyone, I've already..."

Just as Conan was about to imitate Kogoro Mouri's voice, with a whoosh and a pop, Conan seamlessly emerged from behind Kogoro Mouri and performed a set of opening dances just like Kogoro Mouri's.

Finally, before losing consciousness and being drugged, Conan, like Kogoro Mouri, sat upright on the sofa next to Kogoro Mouri with his head down.

At this moment, two people, one older and one younger, were sitting side by side on the sofa in the room, with identical postures and movements.

"Detective Mori, why did you call us here?"

"Speak quickly, what is it?"

Are you asleep?

"If you're so sleepy, then why did you call us over? To watch you two sleep?"

When Conan and Kogoro Mouri, who had summoned them under Kogoro Mouri's name, were seen sitting motionless on the sofa in the same position without saying a word, everyone present got angry and began to criticize them.

The fact that Conan and his companion were asleep angered everyone, making them impatient. After criticizing them and running out of patience, they prepared to leave. Jiang Chengbei, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, stepped forward and explained the details of the two cases that had occurred that day, and presented the evidence.

Through Jiang Chengbei's narration, everyone learned that, like Tuomoto Gozo, Tuomoto Ryūō was also killed by Tuomoto Ichirō.

The motive for Ichiro Tsuchimoto killing Gozo Tsuchimoto was that he was in love with his cousin, Natsue Tsuchimoto, but Gozo Tsuchimoto, his grandfather, disapproved of their relationship and even acted as the patriarch, stopping and severely scolding Ichiro Tsuchimoto.

Ichiro Tsubakimoto was furious, so in a fit of rage, he killed Gozo Tsubakimoto after a disagreement.

The evidence is the paintings by Ichiro Tsubakimoto. Apart from the one used as a cover, the rest are all paintings by Natsue Tsubakimoto.

The evidence that he murdered Kazuki Gozo was that there were bread crumbs in Kazuki Gozo's pool of blood, which were used to wipe pencils when drawing. These bread crumbs with pencil graphite were only found on Kazuki Ichiro.

As for Ichiro's motive for killing Tatsuo, it was that Tatsuo saw Ichiro throw the murder weapon into the sea, so he picked up an iron rod and beat Tatsuo to death.

The iron rod that Ichiro Tomoto picked up this time wasn't placed there by Jiang Chengbei; it was actually on the ship and had nothing to do with Jiang Chengbei. This time, he didn't provide the suspect with a murder weapon.

The murder weapon provided to Ichiro was Shoji Kabumoto. The knife that Ichiro used to kill Gozo Kabumoto was one of the expensive Western-style kitchen knives in Shoji Kabumoto's set.

Since Shoji Tōmoto was not raised as an heir from a young age, his favorite and best skill is cooking. His greatest hobby is being a Western chef, and his biggest wish is to continue running his Western restaurant and make it a success.

Ichiro Tomoto wasn't raised as an heir from a young age, so his favorite and most talented thing was painting. His greatest wish in life was to become a painter, a painter who would marry his second cousin. Unfortunately, Gozo Tomoto disagreed, so he had no choice but to kill him.

After killing Takemoto Gozo, he stole the confetti that Kobu was wearing as a groom and threw it at the scene to frame him. He planned to kill two birds with one stone: send Takemoto Takemoto to jail while he could pursue his second cousin, Takemoto Natsue.

However, because he wiped all the bloodstains at the door but left behind such a large firework, this evidence had a huge flaw.

The murderer had time to wipe the bloodstains off the doorway, yet left a blood-stained firework on the clean floor. There's no other reason than framing someone.

After Jiang Chengbei finished recounting the case and completing his deductions, Kogoro Mouri yawned and woke up from his drowsy state.

Seeing the room filled with people, all talking about how the case was solved and the real culprit had been caught, Kogoro Mouri, who had experienced this many times before, pretended to be reserved, but couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing heartily with undisguised pride:

"Haha, it's nothing, I just performed normally, nothing to brag about, just average, third in the country, haha..."

With my sleeping Kogoro Mouri on the case, this was easily solved, wasn't it? Don't be surprised, this is all at my normal level.

Of course, you shouldn't ask me about the case now. I've already explained it clearly and plainly. I, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, only explain a case once and never a second time.

If you mere mortals didn't understand, that's fine. Just wait and read the newspaper later. It's understandable that you can't keep up with the pace of this famous detective, hahaha..."

As Kogoro Mouri loudly boasted, everyone present stared at him in shock, their eyes wide, unable to think of anything to say.

After Kogoro Mouri started laughing, if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion and the fact that two people in their families had just died, they would have wanted to laugh along with him.

As Kogoro Mouri boasted in his speech, Conan finally slowly woke up. When he clearly heard what Kogoro Mouri said, he was shocked:

This time, he was ambushed by Jiang Chengbei and knocked unconscious, so he couldn't fight for Kogoro Mouri. But judging from Uncle Mouri's words, he solved the case himself.

Shocking! Uncle Mori can solve cases all by himself without me?!

Or perhaps Jiang Chengbei stole the job he was doing as a substitute, and Jiang Chengbei solved the case using Kogoro Mouri's voice?

The members of the Tomamoto family couldn't laugh openly because two family members had just died and another family member was the murderer and was about to go to jail for university studies. But the Miyano sisters didn't have this concern.

Watching Kogoro Mouri's amazing performance, they could only cover their mouths, their eyes full of happy laughter. There was no one more amusing than Kogoro Mouri in the world.

On this sorrowful night when two family members died and the murderer was another family member, Kogoro Mouri's comical performance finally lifted everyone's spirits, allowing them to happily go and inherit a large fortune.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri and Conan, after being subjected to the foul mouths of the two sarcastic women, Mariko and Akie, finally learned that the case today was solved by Kojo Kita.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan only put on a comical performance before solving the case, to entertain everyone.

After solving the case, Kogoro Mouri once again performed as a clown, providing a little relief from the gloomy mood following the murder and offering some emotional value.

So after realizing that he had simply taken a nap and hadn't solved the case in his sleep, Kogoro Mouri was listless and felt hopeless about his entire life.

He was particularly worried that if he couldn't solve cases in his sleep in the future, wouldn't he just go back to being a clueless detective or an unknown detective?

He hadn't had enough of being a famous detective who didn't have to solve cases himself, and he didn't want to go back to the old ways he'd been doing for the past ten years. So after this incident, he lost his appetite and was worried about whether he would still be able to solve cases while he was asleep.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri acting strangely, constantly talking to himself and trying to communicate with his second personality who was responsible for solving cases while he was asleep, begging him to be more powerful in the future, Conan immediately became speechless and had a deadpan expression.

He also wanted to help Uncle Mori fight, but Jiang Chengbei wouldn't allow it. What could he do?

After the cruise ship docked and the police boarded, Conan provided them with some material for his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or humorous commentary):

Every time Conan gets involved, another murder occurs, another person dies. He's a real jinx!

As for Jiang Chengbei, before Conan was around, no one died when he went to Nanyang University in Shizuoka Prefecture, only an attempted murder. No one died when he went to Shikishima either, and the attempted murder was also unsuccessful. All of this proves that Jiang Chengbei is not a jinx, but a savior of the victims.

If Jiang Chengbei hadn't arrived in time, Professor Hirota Masami of Nanyang University would have been killed by his student Shirakura Yo long ago, and the motive was just a misunderstanding caused by a photo of him in women's clothing.

Moreover, Jiang Chengbei caught the murderer, Ichiro Tomoto, who killed the two people, and he also released the evidence and the results of the deduction. So after he handed Ichiro Tomoto over to the police, Jiang Chengbei gained the ability to transform once, and the number of times he transformed into Conan/Shinichi Kudo finally reached double digits.

This trip to Shiki Island yielded 8 kill coins, 1 transformation attempt, and 4 new skills. It was a good haul and worth it.

Upon returning to Beika Town, Kogoro Mouri, having found 10 billion yen in gold, instantly became famous, his reputation even surpassing that of the previous Kogoro Mouri who had been asleep.

People are very interested in treasure hunting stories that lead to financial freedom. Kogoro Mouri, a detective who doesn't do his job properly and can't solve cases normally, only occasionally bursting out when he's asleep, and sometimes not even when he's asleep, but who is a master at finding treasure, suddenly became a hot topic in the news.

Given everyone's desire to learn more about Kogoro Mouri's treasure-hunting stories, the sleeping treasure-hunting detective Kogoro Mouri suddenly became a media darling, receiving numerous newspaper and television interviews.

Kogoro Mouri, in particular, has a very compelling backstory; he's a very contradictory character.

You might call him a famous detective, but he's usually a bumbling idiot. Whenever he encounters a case, he just talks nonsense, making wild guesses, and not a single word of his is on point.

But after he's rambling on and on, he might sometimes fall asleep and enter a deep sleep like Kogoro Mouri, at which point his speech becomes clear and logical, as if he's a completely different person, and he solves the case.

Although the sleeping Kogoro Mouri has never appeared in Tokyo, he made frequent appearances for a period of time when Kogoro Mouri was away from home, solving several cases a day. This directly shocked the Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters, causing Yokomizo Sango, who was closest to Kogoro Mouri, to pack up and leave.

It's said that while he's asleep, a second personality helps him solve cases, and that a famous detective lives inside him. But then, things took an unexpected turn. On the Tomamoto family's private cruise ship, he simply took a nap, leaving fans who were expecting a glimpse of Kogoro Mouri, as well as Kogoro himself, extremely disappointed. He even made a ridiculous mistake by thinking he had solved the case.

Other detectives, jealous of his ability to encounter so many cases in such a short time and solve them, thus making a name for themselves as the "Sleeping Kogoro Mouri," immediately mocked him when they heard that Kogoro Mouri hadn't solved the case even while asleep, yet still thought he had.

Of course, what makes him most famous now is that he found 10 billion in gold. In an atmosphere where everyone is full of fantasies about unexpected wealth, if someone is lucky enough to get a windfall, they will immediately become the object of everyone's envy, jealousy and discussion.

After Kogoro Mouri became famous for finding the treasure, the Mouri Detective Agency, which had been struggling to find business, finally got to appear on television, and a murderer even came knocking on their door.

Chapter 202 A Moment of Inattention: Jiang Chengbei Missed His Opportunity to Be a Witness

After becoming famous for finding the treasure, Kogoro Mouri finally appeared as a guest on a detective variety show on Nichiri TV as a famous treasure hunter.

Kogoro Mouri was very proud to be on TV. It was a memorable day, and he wanted to show off to his friends. So he asked the TV station for audience tickets, one for each of Jiang Chengbei and his friends, so that everyone could see his charisma on TV.

When Conan and Jiang Chengbei, these two guys with the aura of both the real and fake Grim Reapers, arrive at a scene, it's normal for a case to occur and someone to die.
