Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 3 My Porsche is Stolen

"You guy!"

Vodka was furious and wanted to teach Zheng Yi a lesson, but Gin stopped him.

"Looks like there really is something wrong with your brain; you've had another episode," Gin said coldly.

Shoichi continued drinking his juice, ignoring Gin's words.

He is a time traveler who traveled to the world of Conan more than ten years ago. Perhaps due to some aftereffects of the time travel, when he was five years old, his mind became foggy and he was awake for less than half an hour a day.

His parents searched for doctors all over the world, but none of them could cure him.

Finally, they found the organization, whose medicine revived Zheng Yi, and from then on they also colluded with the organization.

However, although the illness was cured, some aftereffects remained.

For example, Zheng Yi became known as a mentally ill person in the eyes of the world.

But Zheng Yi never thought there was anything wrong with his brain.

He had already fully recovered, and what others considered a 'relapse' was interpreted by Zheng Yi as him releasing his true nature.

With such a good family background, wouldn't it be a waste not to do whatever you want?
The reason I hadn't unleashed my true nature before was because I was too young and couldn't do much, not because the organization's drugs had messed up my brain.

However, over the years, Zheng Yi has become accustomed to the misunderstandings of outsiders.

They say if I'm sick, I'm sick. Anyway, I have a mental illness, so I can do whatever I want.

Zheng Yi said, "Anyway, don't come to me with anything that has nothing to do with 'money,' I might not work for you."

Gin nodded.

I didn't expect this young master to be particularly enthusiastic about the organization's affairs.

His role allows him to help the organization with things that interest him, which is already a significant contribution.

Gin didn't plan to stay with Shoichi any longer.

He wasn't as leisurely as some rich young master who could waste his time drinking and chatting.

After dealing with Akemi Miyano, there's still one troublesome guy in the research institute that needs to be dealt with.

"You left without even saying goodbye?" Masato asked Gin.

Gin turned around and glanced at him, which could be considered a greeting.

Zheng Yi stood up, walked over to Gin, and said, "I heard there's a genius researcher in the research institute?"

"What? Are you interested in Sherry?" Gin asked.

Zheng Yi said, "I've only heard that she's not very happy in the organization. I wonder if we could invite her to work at my family's company."

"You want to poach someone from the organization?" Gin looked at Shoichi with a hostile expression.

Zheng Yi shook his head. How could you call it poaching? This is normal business competition.

"Heh." Gin sneered. "Only the dead can leave the organization. Besides, you just killed her sister. Do you think she would choose to work for you?"

Zheng Yi remained noncommittal about Gin's words.

I only said that I dealt with Akemi Miyano, not that I killed her.

The two walked side by side in front, with Vodka lagging behind by a step.

"How about you do me a favor?" Gin suddenly said.

"What kind of help?" Zheng Yi didn't refuse immediately.

Gin irritably popped a cigarette into his mouth and said, "My car was stolen. With your influence in Japan, you should be able to easily get it back for me."

"Oh?" Zheng asked without changing his expression, "What car?"

“A black Porsche 356A, a fantastic vintage car. Getting one back would be a huge hassle,” Gin said.

Gin wanted nothing more than to skin that damned car thief alive.

That was a car he cherished very much.

Vodka stood silently to the side, trembling with fear. That car was practically Gin's wife; the thief's fate would surely be miserable. He asked, without looking to the side, "Was it stolen in front of the Mitsui convenience store?"

"How did you know?" Gin looked sharply at Shoichi.

He did indeed park in front of the Mitsui convenience store, but when he came out after buying cigarettes, the car was gone.

"I'll help you find a car."

Shoichi did not answer Gin, but simply agreed to his request for help.

The three arrived at the organization's research institute in a black Toyota.

They arrived at the research institute just in time for dinner, and the three of them rushed to the cafeteria.

The researchers in the institute all wore white lab coats, so the three of them in black still stood out.

Gin is quite well-known here. When researchers see him, they avoid him from a distance, as if he were a plague.

Even the handsome stranger next to Gin was not approached by anyone.

The three of them went straight to a female researcher with brown hair.

Upon seeing the unpleasant figure, the female researcher lost her appetite and hastily swallowed the food in her mouth before trying to leave.

"Hello, Sherry." Zheng Yi stood in front of the woman, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to her.

"This is my business card. You can call me Zhengyi. It's nice to meet you."

Sherry glanced at Zheng Yi's business card, but did not choose to accept it.

In her mind, members of the organization should try their best to conceal their identities. What was this guy who was handing out business cards as soon as they met?

A manager at Sumitomo Bank?
Do you just casually reveal your identity to others? And it seems you're not putting on any disguise at all.

Sherry glanced at Gin, but Gin didn't react to the man's actions; instead, he looked at her coldly.

Shirley refused to take his business card, so Jung-il put it into Shirley's pocket himself.

You can't refuse something that Master Zhengyi gives you.

"Sherry, your sister Akemi Miyano wants to offer 1 billion yen in exchange for your and her freedom."

Shirley said coldly, "You won't agree."

“Of course,” Gin said, “that’s why I killed her.”

Zheng Yi raised an eyebrow, took a slight step back, and brought Gin and Vodka to his front.

"Snapped!"

The plate was thrown at Gin, and Gin and Vodka were splattered with soup, while Shoichi's clothes were slightly dirty.

Gin showed no anger at the sullen Sherry; he simply looked at her with a cold gaze.

“Looks like you need to calm down,” Gin said. “Vodka, lock her in the gas chamber and let her out once she’s calmed down.”

"Yes!"

Volta stepped forward and dragged the struggling Shirley away.

The researchers in the cafeteria didn't dare to speak, eating quietly and then leaving quietly, as if the commotion on Gin's side didn't exist.

Masayuki reminded Gin, "The way you treat your employees will cause problems."

"Heh." Gin sneered.

He has been in charge of the organization's influence in Japan for many years, and this has always been his approach: if an employee is disobedient, insubordinate, or useless, he simply kills them.

In any organization, no one is ever indispensable.

Zheng Yi shook his head.

You have to treat your employees like family.
