When a muscular man named Wakamatsu drove up to pick up Ran in front of Poirot Cafe in a beat-up old car, Conan was furious.
He moved into Jiang Chengbei's house for Xiaolan's sake. He was wary of Jiang Chengbei and his brother, who hid away and didn't often cause trouble, but when they did, they would kill several people. He managed to keep an eye on them day and night, but he never expected that a muscular man would suddenly appear and try to steal their house. Conan was furious.
Conan wanted to go with Ran, but before Ran could refuse, Sonoko, who had long disliked the brat, rejected him first, telling Wakamatsu to drive quickly and ignore Conan.
Sonoko was the best friend of his crush, so the muscular man naturally had to listen to her and drove away.
In the original series, Conan lived at Kogoro Mouri's house, so he knew in advance that Ran had made chocolates and was going to a Valentine's Day party. He also knew that Ran had refused to let him go with her, so he was able to prepare in advance and secretly use a wire to open the trunk and crawl inside.
However, Conan is currently living in the Jiangcheng Bei family's house, which is at least one wall away from the Mouri family's house. Since he didn't get the idea that Ran would refuse to take him there, he didn't take the opportunity to break the lock and sneak into the trunk while Wakamatsu was waiting for Ran in the car.
Unable to get into Wakamatsu's car and follow him, Conan panicked and rushed back to the fruit shop, shouting at Jiang Chengbei, who was always calm and collected, even when his wife ran off with the money:
"Jiangcheng, it's an emergency! Please help me! Drive quickly and take me to catch up with Xiaolan."
Watching the flustered Conan, Jiang Chengbei remained completely unhurried, leisurely sipping his tea.
"Anan, don't call me by my name so disrespectfully. You should call me brother."
Also, have you forgotten what you said before?
You begged me, if you start pursuing your sister-in-law recklessly, I was to stop you from your illicit affair.
Conan: ...
Conan was speechless after Jiang Chengbei's words. If he were to deny what he had said before, and his brother came back, could he stop the great demon brother with his weak chakra alone without Jiang Chengbei as an ally?
If he keeps his word, who should he ask for help now?
Forget it, never mind. When my brother comes back, won't his current impersonation be exposed?
When the time comes, Jiang Chengbei, who is his brother's partner, will be helping him out, so what's the point of thinking so much now?
It would be better to take advantage of Jiang Chengbei's lack of awareness that he is an imposter, use his brother's face and name, and get more benefits.
So, Conan gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "This time doesn't count. You can stop him next time. This time, there's a vicious, muscular man who's going to harm Ran. You have to help me!"
"Hehe, I'd like to help you, but I'm busy. Can't you see I'm busy?"
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei sat up from the armchair, picked up the teapot, took a leisurely sip, and then lay back down in the armchair.
"you……"
Conan was so angry at Jiang Chengbei's shameless words and actions that he almost vomited blood.
In short, no matter how much Conan pleaded, Jiang Chengbei remained unmoved, which infuriated the anxious Conan.
Finally, Conan realized that the muscular man's car was long gone. Even if Jiang Chengbei went to get the car now, he might not be able to catch up with him. Only then did Conan give up struggling and sit down to the side in disappointment, sighing silently.
Seeing that Conan had stopped causing trouble, Jiang Chengbei stretched, stood up, and left the fruit shop.
"Jiang Cheng, where are you going?"
As soon as Jiang Chengbei moved, Conan inexplicably followed.
Jiang Chengbei hadn't expected Conan to follow them, so he gave him a disdainful look:
"Why did you come along when you were just going out for a walk? It's a holiday today, why didn't your three like-minded friends come to visit you?"
"I'm not really a 7-year-old kid, what's the point of playing with them?"
Hey Bei, you've been acting all mysterious these past few days. Are you planning to steal the antidote from the distillery again?
"Take me with you this time. I train my chakra every night, and I feel much stronger than before. If you come along, I'm sure I can be of great help."
“Anan, you’re overthinking it. I didn’t plan to steal medicine from the distillery. Besides, I didn’t see you take any medicine. Since you’re reluctant to take the medicine in your pocket and you still have some in stock, why would I steal any medicine?”
I'm not going to steal medicine. You go back and watch the shop.
"I'm not going back. Whether you went to steal medicine or not, I'm sticking with you today."
Previously, Conan couldn't get Jiang Chengbei to do anything, which annoyed Conan. Now, Jiang Chengbei can't get rid of Conan, this little tagalong, and it's his turn to be annoyed.
With no other option, Jiang Chengbei put on sunglasses, took Conan by the tail, and drove off to a certain place.
Since Jiang Chengbei and Xiaolan had been through life and death together, their friendship was unbreakable. So, if Jiang Chengbei wanted to find Xiaolan, he didn't need to put a transmitter on her beforehand. He could locate her simply by wearing sunglasses.
Even though they've slept together, Yukiko is still much better than those who are constantly scheming against each other.
Chapter 176 Jiang Chengbei: Quickly give me the antidote, I'm poisoned and about to die!
After wandering around Beika Town for a while, Jiang Chengbei's car finally ran out of gas and stopped in front of a detached house with a yard.
"Conan, get out of the car and ask where the nearest gas station is."
"Okay." Conan reluctantly agreed, and after he got out of the car and knocked on the door, his gaze swept across the empty yard and found that Ran and Sonoko were actually in the room inside.
Conan saw Ran and the others having a party, and Ran and the others also saw Conan knocking on the door.
Finding Ran here was a wonderful surprise, and Conan seized the opportunity to shout loudly:
"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Yuanzi, what are you doing here?"
"Little friend, so you're here to find someone. Come on in."
Conan's shout successfully earned him a pass to enter, leading Mrs. Minagawa, who opened the door, to mistakenly believe that the child was looking for someone, and thus let him in.
Finding Ran made Conan very happy. He immediately forgot that he had come to ask for directions and rushed inside excitedly.
Seeing that Conan had come all this way, Sonoko grumbled to Ran:
"Ran, you're right. Conan is too precocious. He actually chased you all the way here. I really don't know how a little kid like him found this place."
"Yuanzi, keep your voice down, we're outside."
I usually avoid Conan, but he still managed to find this place. It's really annoying.
"Sonoko, I'm counting on you to get rid of Conan from now on."
"No problem, I'll help you get rid of Conan, but you have to introduce me to some handsome guys."
"Some?"
Seeing Ran's shocked look, Sonoko quickly smiled awkwardly and explained:
"Not a few, but one by one. The total number is a few, but they come one by one in time, hehe..."
"One at a time? Hiss..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. I'll focus on winning over Mr. Minagawa first."
Feeling Ran's strange gaze, Sonoko quickly ran away and tried to get closer to Minagawa.
Soon, Conan was brought into the room and joined their party, placing himself between Ran and Wakamatsu to prevent them from having too much interaction.
Conan had only been at their party for two minutes when the doorbell rang again.
When the doorbell rang, Conan suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Oh no, I forgot I came to ask for directions!"
Thinking of this, Conan quickly asked his love rival, Wakamatsu, "Hey, is there a gas station nearby? Which way do we go?"
Although Conan ruined many of his plans in just a few minutes, Wakamatsu wouldn't hold a grudge against a child, so he told Conan the address of the gas station.
After Conan learned the address of the gas station, he put on his shoes and hurried after Mrs. Minagawa, who was going to open the door.
Unfortunately, he wasted a little time asking about the gas station, and by the time he caught up, it was too late to stop Mrs. Minagawa from opening the door or to let her go back to cook. Conan can handle this knocking guest.
Although there was no time to deal with Mrs. Minagawa who came to open the door, Conan crawled out as soon as she opened it. Before Jiang Chengbei could speak, he rattled off the gas station address he had found out from Wakamatsu.
After saying that, Jiang Chengbei and Conan stared at each other blankly.
"Hey, I've told you the gas station address, why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Anan, I'm waiting for you to get on the bus. How can I leave if you don't get on?"
"Abei, I'm not leaving. I'll just wander around here for a bit today. You can go back first."
"Conan, Conan, I asked you to find out the address of a gas station, and you've been gone for so long without coming back. That's not all."
"Anan, it's strange that you're urging me to leave instead of leaving yourself. Is there something you're up to in the house?"
When Conan rushed out, Ran and Sonoko noticed him. When Mrs. Minagawa opened the door, they saw Jiang Chengbei.
Then, when they told the young people inside, everyone immediately realized that the people outside were Xiaolan's neighbors and friends. So they followed Xiaolan and Yuanzi out and invited Jiang Chengbei to come in for a gathering.
"Mr. Jiang Cheng, right? We're all young people, come in and join the party."
Finally, under Conan's extremely resentful gaze, Jiang Chengbei was invited into the house by Mrs. Minagawa and the others.
Duang~~~
On her way back to her room, Ran casually punched Conan and then glared at him.
"Conan, is this how you treat Jiang Cheng, the brother who brought you here? Don't forget you've been eating and staying at his house for free, is this how you repay him?"
Think about how good he is to you; he'll even eat expensive fruit as a meal. People should know how to be grateful!
Conan, who had just been punched by Ran, clutched his head, on the verge of tears: Who did he do this for? Wasn't it all to protect Ran from Jiang Chengbei's harm!
That damned Mari Azuma! How could she be so short-sighted? Why would she abscond with such a small amount of money?
If you could stay, would I, Conan, need to be so wary of Jiang Chengbei?
After Conan and Jiang Chengbei joined the party, the Valentine's Day celebration continued.
It was called a Valentine's Day gathering, but it was really just a group of people eating and drinking together, and the young people chatting with each other.
Although he really didn't want Jiang Chengbei to join, he was already here, and Conan couldn't get rid of him, so he had no choice but to accept it.
However, when Conan saw that the muscular man Wakamatsu was starting to make a move again, Conan's eyes lit up. Now that Jiang Chengbei was here, it was a good thing. He no longer had to fight alone. He could let Jiang Chengbei be the main force, while he would support him from the side and protect Ran from Wakamatsu's harassment.
Thinking about how Jiang Chengbei would sometimes suddenly become foul-mouthed and mercilessly mock someone, Conan suddenly felt that Jiang Chengbei might have come to the right place this time.
So, he secretly tugged at Jiang Chengbei, who was sitting down, pointed to Ruosong who was itching to make a move, and whispered:
"Jiang Cheng, roast him! Use all your skills to roast him! Give him a good dressing down and let him know the consequences of pursuing Xiao Lan."
Seeing the sparks of anger in Conan's eyes as he looked at his rival, Jiang Chengbei gave Conan a reassuring look, assuring him that he would handle everything.
Seeing Jiang Chengbei, this intermittently neurotic man, finally about to spew insults for no reason again after being persuaded by Conan, Conan felt a strange excitement:
Jiang Chengbei may be a bit bad, but he's reliable in crucial moments; he'll really step up when things get tough.
"You fatso, stop eating so much! Can't you eat less? You're already so fat, and you keep eating. Aren't you afraid of dying from obesity?"
"Stop, stop, stop! You're talking about the wrong person, Jiang Cheng. I didn't tell you to talk about this fatso, I told you to talk about this muscle man! This muscle man is the one trying to steal my girlfriend!"
