Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 19 Obedience Test

"The murderer is not Mr. Zhengyi."

Just as everyone was watching, Conan slipped behind the sofa and took out a bow tie.

He looked around.

Finding that no one else seemed to notice anything amiss, he yawned and pretended to be oblivious.

"Brother Mori, why are you doing this again?" Inspector Megure said helplessly.

When you're clear-headed, direct your criticism at Zheng Yi.

Then, with a splendid turn, Zheng Yi was exonerated after his period of slumber.

“It was just a little joke before, now it’s the real deduction. As long as you all take off your coats, I’ll know who the murderer is,” said Kogoro Mouri.

Inspector Megure directed them to take off their coats.

Everyone took off their coats, even Miyano Akemi, but Shoichi remained unmoved and even tightened his coat.

"It's late now, what if you catch a cold if you take off your clothes?" Zhengyi said.

Regarding the unconventional Shoichi, Kogoro Mouri said, "It's fine for him not to take off his coat, because Mr. Shoichi and his secretary are definitely not the murderers."

Conan peeked out from behind the sofa and glanced at their clothes.

Then he said directly, "The murderer is you! Mr. Ichiro Takashi!"

Immediately afterwards, Conan, through Kogoro Mouri's words, revealed his method of murder.

"You killed her because of the flood that happened to Yaeko two years ago, right?"

A member of the group, whose glasses were beginning to reflect light, exclaimed excitedly, "Yaeko didn't die in an accident! She was killed by Nikaido and Reika!"

"They stole Yaeko's life jacket, which is why she died!"

Even after Takashi confessed to the murder, Yotsuki still couldn't believe that his daughter had been killed for that reason.

"It must have been Zheng Yi who sent you to kill my daughter, right?!" Yoshii said, pointing at Ichiro.

"You're just a cowardly coward! How dare you kill Lihua? It must have been Zhengyi who gave you the courage, right? Did he promise you something?"

"enough!"

Yizhilong flung aside Shijing and roared, "You and your daughter are birds of a feather! Lihua deserves to die, and you'll definitely be killed by someone else too."

Their grudges and affections were quite noisy.

He asked Sato, "Officer Sato, can you take me home? If I go home now, I should be able to get some sleep."

He glanced at his watch.

Suddenly I remembered that I had resigned from the bank and no longer needed to go to work.

Then I can sleep for a long time.

Before Sato could react to Zheng Yi's words, Yoshii said angrily, "You think you can just leave after killing someone?"

Sato frowned and said, "Mr. Yotsuji, Mr. Seiichi is not the murderer."

"That's because he has the police protecting him from within and detectives working for him from without. How could you possibly let him become the murderer!" Yoshii said angrily.

He angrily pointed at a dragon.

"And this guy, willing to be Zhengyi's pawn, even if it means killing someone and going to jail for him."

The threat from Zhengyi is imminent.

Yotsuki was now completely convinced that his daughter's death was a direct threat to him.

Is this the retribution he was talking about?
With a gentle push, Zheng Yi sent the old man, Si Jing, sprawling to the ground.

He frowned.

I always feel like I'm going further and further down the path of evil.

But I hadn't done anything.

Since that's the case, Zheng Yi chuckled and said to Shi Jing, "Mr. Shi Jing, if you don't pay your debts, disasters will follow."

I hope you can remember this principle.

After saying that, he left the villa, with Miyano Akemi following behind him with a complicated expression.

Sijing, sitting on the ground, had pale lips.

This is definitely a threat.

If I don't pay back the money, will you kill me too? "Are you alright?"

Inspector Megure came forward to help Yoshii, but Yoshii quickly shook him off.

"You don't touch me!"

Yoshii, looking haggard, pushed Inspector Megure away.

These guys are all Zheng Yi's henchmen; they are all protecting Zheng Yi.

The influence of the large conglomerates still exceeded his expectations.

Moreover, Zheng Yi's actions were too extreme.

If I continue to delay payment for the project, he will definitely kill me!
“Officer Sato? A civilian needs the police to take him home. Aren’t you going to help him?” the forensic doctor said as he walked up to Sato.

"Ordinary people?"

How does that guy relate to ordinary people?

Sato glanced at Inspector Megure, and only after Inspector Megure nodded did he take the police car keys and walk out.

"Where do you live?" Sato asked, frowning.

As a police officer, helping people get home is a normal course of action.

"Take me to the company, it's in ***," Zheng Yi said.

I can't let Miyano Akemi come home with me; there's a little one at home I can't let her see.

After dropping Masakazu off at their company, Sato drove away without stopping, not wanting to get entangled with this troublesome chaebol heir at all.

Akemi Miyano whispered to Shoichi, "Did you really kill Reika?"

“The police haven’t found me guilty, so of course I didn’t kill him,” Zheng Yi said.

Hard to say.

Akemi Miyano frowned.

She went with Zheng Yi to collect the debt from Shi Jing and heard Zheng Yi say, "Those who do not repay their debts will be punished."

This may be a helpless act by those who have no other choice.

But Shoichi was clearly not the kind of person who was helpless, and Yoshii's daughter really did die while Shoichi was present.

the most important is,

After leaving, Zheng Yi made a threatening remark to Shi Jing.

Unpaid debts lead to endless disasters.

I have a feeling that Zheng Yi is going to continue killing people.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I've never even killed a chicken in my entire life," Zheng Yi said.

He reached out, wanting to pat Miyano Akemi on the shoulder, to reassure her.

But Akemi Miyano slightly turned her body to avoid Shoichi's hand.

Akemi Miyano frowned and asked, "You're not testing my obedience, are you?"

"Of course not, how could you think that about me?"

Zheng Yi found it very funny.

It's just a pat on the shoulder; there's no such simple obedience test.

Not only those who don't understand themselves, but even Akemi Miyano has a deep misunderstanding of herself. I'm not such a bad person.

"Go and get some rest. When you have time, I'll let you see your sister," Zheng Yi said with a smile.

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Miyano Akemi's shoulder.

Akemi Miyano raised an eyebrow, resisting the urge to dodge.

"We'll continue to go and collect the debt from Yoshii tomorrow. I think he'll pay it back," Zheng Yi said.

"What if he doesn't pay back the money? Will you make him suffer endless misfortunes, as you threatened?" Miyano Akemi asked, frowning.

"Of course not. If he doesn't pay back the money, he can just keep asking. There's nothing I can do about it."

As for that last sentence, you can take it as a curse on him; what if something really happens to him?
