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

"Kudo, don't say that. After all, many buildings are designed by him. If his designs were bad, as you say, there wouldn't be so many buildings that would want his designs."

"Hattori, you don't know this. So many people are looking for him because he knows how to use money, how to flatter each other in business, and how to be a good person. Plus, his works when he was young were indeed quite good and very creative. It's just that he's old now and has become someone who lives off his past achievements."

Hattori, let me tell you something private. The original design for the new city of Nishitama was by Professor Moriya, but the mayor got arrested because of his scandal, so all the connections he had made were gone, and he had no part in the design of the new city.

If his new city design is really good, how come it's no good just because a different mayor is needed?

In short, Professor Moriya now is not as good as he was in his youth. He has regressed a lot in architectural design and is no longer capable of designing anything good. So he can only try to save face by using things like left-right symmetry.

After all, left-right symmetry is simple; even kindergarten children can do it.

Teiji Moriya originally wanted to go up and argue with Shinichi Kudo, but when Kojo Kita mentioned Nishitama City, he didn't dare to. He was afraid that if he argued, everyone would know his motive for killing Shinichi Kudo.

never mind!

Don't argue with a layman who knows nothing. Don't lower your IQ by arguing with a layman who knows nothing. Don't lower your status by arguing with a layman who knows nothing!

Even though Moriya Teiji forced himself to hold it in, Hattori Heiji still noticed his slightly trembling body.

He realized that the owner of the place had overheard their bad talk behind people's backs, which embarrassed Hattori Heiji.

Even Hattori Heiji, an outsider, thought what Jiang Chengbei just said was excessive, let alone a famous Japanese architect.

Put yourself in their shoes. If I were to talk badly about someone behind their back like that, I would definitely take a knife and kill them.

Thinking about it, Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered that he had also spoken ill of Kudo Shinichi behind his back not long ago!

So, today, on our first meeting with Shinichi Kudo, he messed with me like this. I was drugged by him, my reputation was ruined, and I was used as a human shield. The reason is that I talked badly about him behind his back, and he found out.

Thinking about it this way, my original hatred for Shinichi Kudo suddenly became less intense, and I even felt guilty instead.

Heiji Hattori realized that the shameless Shinichi Kudo wasn't so bad after all. He understood why Shinichi Kudo could so shamelessly persecute him and do it with such righteous indignation.

Furthermore, they were caught talking badly about their master behind his back, and Hattori Heiji decided to try to salvage the situation. Even if he couldn't salvage it, he would at least change the subject and not let "Kudo Shinichi" continue to talk so recklessly.

"Kudo, you're just a high school student. Besides knowing a little bit about deduction, what do you know about architecture? I think this villa is well-designed. Don't make unfounded comments. Let's talk about deduction instead..."

Seeing that Hattori Heiji was trying to change the subject, Jiang Chengbei was not satisfied with just receiving one kill coin for harboring murderous intent towards him. He greedily wanted that kill coin to turn that murderous intent into action, so he continued to provoke him:

"Hattori, what are you saying? How am I not good at aesthetics?"

You can say I, Shinichi Kudo, don't understand reasoning and that my abilities are inferior to those of an elementary school student. You can look down on my reasoning skills, but you cannot doubt my aesthetic sense!

Aesthetic appreciation is innate; from birth, we are endowed with the ability to yearn for beautiful things.

The building in front of me, which is neither fish nor fowl, and which tries too hard to be symmetrical, has backfired and made itself look ugly. It is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

Just like how you instinctively want to vomit when you see bird droppings, I feel like vomiting when I see this building in front of me..."

Seeing that "Shinichi Kudo" was still relentlessly belittling the villa in front of him, Heiji Hattori felt a sense of despair. It seemed that even his best efforts to save face wouldn't stop "Shinichi Kudo" from continuing. So, he could only try to change the subject, saying:

"Kudo, why isn't your girlfriend here yet? Didn't you invite her to come today?"

Oh, by the way, before we came, your childhood friend Mori insisted on coming along, so you didn't have a chance to see your girlfriend alone and had to come with us.

Jiang Chengbei: "Hattori, don't mention my girlfriend. If you guys hadn't told on me, how would Ran have known I have a girlfriend?"

"If Xiaolan didn't know, I'm currently happily spending time with my girlfriend. Why would I need to waste time complaining about this villa being 'low-class' with two grown men like this?"

Seeing that "Shinichi Kudo" was about to bring up the villa again, Heiji Hattori knew that the villa's owner and designer was secretly eavesdropping, trembling with anger.

To avoid an awkward situation, Heiji Hattori had no choice but to change the subject again:

"Kudo, let's not talk about now, you should think about how you're going to spend this weekend."

You have two movie tickets. You and your girlfriend are going to the movie theater at the Beika City Hall building this weekend evening.

At that time, your childhood sweetheart, Mori, and her father, Uncle Mori, will be sitting next to you.

This scene is a massive carnage; you should really think about what you'll do then."

Upon hearing Hattori Heiji's words, Jiang Chengbei's first reaction was: Hattori, you're helping Sen-ge so much, are you a spy sent by Sen-ge?

Meanwhile, Teiji Moriya, who was eavesdropping from behind, revealed a cruel smile:

Well, Shinichi Kudo, I didn't expect you to be such a scumbag! You actually went to the movies with your girlfriend and your childhood friend. You dared to have the three of you together. Well then, I'll reluctantly go and see you off.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri, who was standing nearby, had been itching to punch Jiang Chengbei when Heiji Hattori mentioned his girlfriend. When Jiang Chengbei casually talked about his girlfriend, Kogoro couldn't hold back any longer and launched a sneak attack, slapping Jiang Chengbei hard across the face.

With a "smack," Hattori Heiji covered his face, on the verge of tears.

Then, Kogoro Mouri quickly apologized, hoping that they could forgive his mistake because they were both members of the "eating shit duo".

Jiang Chengbei chuckled to himself: Karma, karma! Osaka Black Chicken, you told Moriya Teiji about Mori's parents' weekend plans, and then you got beaten up by Uncle Mori. That's karma for big mouths.

Chapter 123 Hattori, you've gotten yourself into big trouble, do you know that?

After hearing Jiang Chengbei's comments about his villa, Moriya Teiji almost couldn't help but attack on the spot. If it weren't for his grand plan, he would have rushed up and stabbed this reckless bastard!

However, thinking about all the stains he still had left in this world, Brother Sen gritted his teeth and forced himself to leave quickly. He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he wouldn't be able to hold back!

That damned Shinichi Kudo! That damned Shinichi Kudo! I, Teiji Moriya, will kill you!

Fortunately, Shinichi Kudo was still useful, and Teiji Moriya still needed Shinichi Kudo's brain in some situations, so despite his anger, he still held back.

Next, while trying his best not to look at Jiang Chengbei, Moriya Teiji gathered everyone together for a game and gave them a riddle to guess.

Looking at the information of the three people on the card, Jiang Chengbei was completely dumbfounded. He wasn't really Shinichi Kudo, so how could he possibly guess the password to the Japanese gunpowder warehouse just by looking at the information of these three people?

Besides, why would he need a password to steal explosives from the gunpowder warehouse? He could just transform into a little chubby bird and fly in openly and honestly.

Or, if Jiang Chengbei wanted to make bombs, he could just buy them from the system store; why would he need to steal them?

Also, if it weren't for repaying the kill coins you provided, would I have gone to such lengths to bring Osaka Black Chicken here?

Raising chickens takes a thousand days, but using them only takes a moment.

Because Jiang Chengbei brought Osaka Black Chicken along, the warehouse riddle that Moriya Teiji had painstakingly obtained from the warehouse manager was easily solved by Osaka Black Chicken.

Seeing that Jiang Chengbei not only didn't answer the questions properly, but also secretly looked at his answers, Hattori Heiji looked at this "Kudo Shinichi" with suspicion again.

After Hattori Heiji revealed the answer to Momotaro's mystery to Moriya Teiji, Moriya Teiji's gaze towards Jiang Chengbei no longer concealed his inner anger.

Knowing that even Shinichi Kudo couldn't solve this mystery, and that it was ultimately Shinichi Kudo's sidekick, a dark-skinned boy, who solved it, Teiji Moriya couldn't bear it!

So, after receiving the answer, Mori, who couldn't bear it any longer, regretted not having been more lenient if he had known Shinichi Kudo was so weak, and immediately started collecting interest:

"It's unbelievable that the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo lost his deduction to an unknown dark-skinned guy this time. How disappointing."

Faced with Moriya Teiji's mockery, before Jiang Chengbei could say anything, Hattori Heiji couldn't hold back and preemptively replied:

"Who's unknown? Let me tell you, you fake mystery fan, I, Hattori Heiji, am a famous high school detective in Osaka. My reputation in Osaka is no less than Kudo's, and my reasoning ability is no less than Kudo's!"

Also, it was Kudo who was talking badly about you behind your back, don't take it out on me, Hattori Heiji!

After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Moriya Teiji was stunned: Who is Hattori Heiji?

If I had known earlier, I would have invited him instead of Shinichi Kudo. That way, I could have gotten the password and Shinichi Kudo's schedule without having to put up with Shinichi Kudo's temper.

As expected, Moriya Teiji's premonition was correct. Before he could react to Hattori Heiji's words, Jiang Chengbei spoke up again in a cheeky manner:

"Hattori, you're wrong about that. Your reasoning ability is clearly better than mine, Shinichi Kudo."

My reasoning skills are worse than an elementary school student's, so similarly, I often receive invitations from architects who are worse than even elementary school students.

After all, everyone's level is lower than that of elementary school students, so communication is easier and they can have a common language.

Hattori, look at this villa in front of you, does it look familiar?

Do you remember the houses you drew when you were in kindergarten and elementary school?

Compared to this villa, isn't it about the same size?

"Shinichi Kudo! Get out of here! You're not welcome here! Butler..."

Finally, Senya Teiji, feeling that he was about to kill Jiang Chengbei, angrily went back to his room and hid after instructing the butler.

He feared that if he stayed any longer, he would end up fighting Shinichi Kudo before he could even start his own blasting game.

Unlike the original series with Conan, where Conan helped Teiji Moriya solve the code and at least received a visit as a reward, when Heiji Hattori helped Teiji Moriya solve the code, he and Jiang Chengbei were immediately sent out of Teiji Moriya's house by the butler.

Ran couldn't express her feelings about Shinichi Kudo's girlfriend, Ryo Akagi, from beginning to end, and she couldn't find her. She couldn't tell whether she was relieved or relieved.

Anyway, when she returned, it was still the same four people who had come. However, she wasn't as angry and irritable as she had been when she arrived, perhaps because Shinichi Kudo hadn't brought his girlfriend.

"Kudo, how can you be so disparaging of the host's masterpiece on the spot? Your emotional intelligence is too low. You still need to learn more from me in this regard."

Hearing Hattori Heiji say such smug words, Jiang Chengbei looked at him in surprise, wondering where this black chicken got his confidence to say such things!

"Hattori, I think you've gotten yourself into big trouble today. Judging from my artistic talent, which is far superior to yours, I knew at first glance that Moriya Teiji was no good person. That old geezer is wicked."

Although I don't know why he asked this riddle, I have a feeling that if I tell Momotaro the answer, I'll definitely get into big trouble.

So, even though I had already figured out the answer, I pretended not to know because I wasn't going to tell him.

But no matter how much I planned, I still overlooked you, you Osaka black chicken who's not as good as me. You still told Momotaro to him. I think you've really messed up this time.

I wonder how many people will die because of the disaster you've caused this time?

Seeing Jiang Chengbei's compassionate demeanor, Hattori Heiji, though disbelieving, still felt a thorn in his side and was not entirely comfortable.

No matter how much he pressed Jiang Chengbei to find out what trouble he had caused, he still couldn't get a single truth from him. Jiang Chengbei kept saying that he didn't know and that it was just a premonition.

Over the next few days, Heiji Hattori and Kogoro Mouri teamed up to continue retracing Conan's steps, recreating each crime scene several times in order to find evidence that had been overlooked.

Unfortunately, after several busy days, the "eating shit duo" had wasted their time and found no new clues or evidence.

During the days they searched for evidence of Conan's crimes, Shinichi Kudo never appeared again. After all, Jiang Chengbei only had one chance to transform, so he had to use it sparingly and only when he found an opportunity to prank someone.

Meanwhile, nothing major has happened in the past few days. Apart from the theft of the Japanese gunpowder depot and several unsolved murders at the Metropolitan Police Department, nothing else has really occurred.

Chapter 124 Hey, Sen-ge... You asked me how I knew it was you? Because among strangers, I've only ever given you this number.

Time flies, and the weekend arrived. The phone in Jiangcheng North, which was registered under the name Kudo Shinichi, rang.

Since Shinichi Kudo from Jiangcheng North has not appeared many times, apart from a few people, such as Professor Agasa, Teiji Moriya, Heiji Hattori, Ran, Kogoro Mouri, and Conan, who know that this phone number is his new "Shinichi Kudo" mobile phone number, no one else knows that this number belongs to Shinichi Kudo.

Of course, apart from Conan knowing that he was a fake Shinichi Kudo, most of the others believed that he was Shinichi Kudo. Even if they had doubts, they only had doubts in their hearts and outwardly still recognized him as Shinichi Kudo.

Just then, the phone rang, and he was alone, still flying in the sky.

So Jiang Chengbei chose an abandoned factory where no one was around and landed there. Then he transformed into a human, used Ke Xuechakra to impersonate Shinichi Kudo's voice, and answered the phone:

"Hello, this is Shinichi Kudo. What do you need me for?"
