Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 32 Forcing the Righteous Female Police Officer

"you!"

For Sato, who was already furious, Zhengyi's words were like adding fuel to the fire.

At this moment, forensic pathologist Nagamune added fuel to the fire for Sato.

"Officer Sato, I've said before that we should trust the judgment of professionals. Even if you don't trust me, the forensic doctor, you should trust Mr. Kogoro Mouri."

After all, Kogoro Mouri is now Tokyo's top detective.

Zheng nodded.

The forensic doctor is right.

Looking at the indignant Sato, Masakazu felt a little strange. He was explaining the truth of the case to Sato, but why did it seem like a group of them were forcing Sato to accept reality?
it's wired.

Sato glanced at Kogoro Mouri.

That guy was still pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed.

You know that what you did is dishonorable and that you have no face to face the police and the public, so you pretended that you were solving the case in your sleep?
"Ahem!" Inspector Megure coughed and said in a low voice, "Now that the case is solved, can we call it a day?"

"But!"

“Sato!” Inspector Megure walked up to Sato and whispered in her ear, “Shoichi has an alibi, so it’s impossible to determine that he is the murderer.”

Furthermore, the deceased, Mr. Fujiwara, was burdened with a large debt, giving him a motive for suicide. Several clues also point to suicide, and the matter should be closed.

Anyway, there are plenty of suicide cases in Japan, so one more won't make a difference.

Normally, if something has reached this point, it would already be considered suicide.

We can't treat them specially just because they're related to Zheng Yi. It makes it seem like these sons of tycoons have 'privileges'.

Sato said with dissatisfaction, "How can you so simply conclude that the deceased committed suicide!"

Even a forensic doctor, being a legitimate person, wouldn't know if the deceased had any other fatal injuries. It's also possible that the deceased died on the shore and the incident was staged as a suicide.

And the so-called alibi is even more ridiculous.

How could a chaebol heir like Zheng Yi possibly kill someone with his own hands?

Inspector Megure said helplessly, "There is currently no evidence pointing to Shoichi. If you have doubts about this result, you will have to investigate it yourself in secret."

"I understand." Sato nodded.

She stared intently at Zheng Yi.

She will definitely find a clue in Zheng Yi's actions.

The reporter also captured the scene of Sato staring at Shoichi.

Evil tycoons, corrupt police, and wicked detectives collude to pressure a righteous policewoman—what great news material!

"Let's call it a day," Inspector Megure said.

After the forensic doctor, Chang Zong, finished collecting the body, he carefully transported it to the police car.

At that moment, Zheng Yi called out to Inspector Megure, "Officer Sato, you promised to take me home, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Ai's pupils contracted.

Couldn't you have gotten a different driver?

If Officer Sato were to come, I'm afraid she'd send you to hell.

"coming."

Sato walked toward Shoichi with a gloomy expression. Takagi reached out his hand to try to calm Sato down, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Watching Sato slam the car door shut, Masakazu leaned out and asked Sonoko and the others, "Do you need a ride?"

"No, thank you." Sonoko shook her head.

Officer Sato seems to be in a very bad mood.

If I get on the bus, will I not be able to find my way home?

Ai obediently fastened her seatbelt, already prepared for a car accident.

Masaichi glanced at Ai.

This child is too timid; he's so afraid of riding in a car.

“After Mr. Fujiwara dies, acquiring his theaters might be much easier,” Masakazu said to Ai. Ai stared at Masakazu with wide eyes.

Is it appropriate for you to talk about acquiring Mr. Fujiwara's cinemas at this time?

Their bodies are barely cold!
Sure enough, Officer Sato's emotions fluctuated greatly. She gripped the steering wheel tightly and made a sharp turn to avoid crashing into the roadside trash can.

provocative!

This is absolutely blatant provocation!

Just as a murderer would return to the crime scene to admire his masterpiece, Zheng Yi also wanted to provoke and show off in front of the police.

This disregard for the police and the twisted mentality of self-aggrandizement infuriated Sato.

Perhaps this guy never thought he was wrong!

Zaibatsu are Japan's biggest cancer!

No matter how angry Sato was, she could only keep it to herself for now.

Shoichi continued, "Have you learned my business tactics?"

Ai: "Huh?"

How am I supposed to learn this? Should I just eliminate the uncooperative people?

She glanced cautiously at Sato, then shook her head vigorously.

I can't learn it, I can't learn it.

Zheng Yi gave Xiao Ai a disappointed look: "If you keep failing me, how can I entrust my business to you with peace of mind!"

Xiao Ai wrinkled her nose.

I'm here to avenge the murder of my sister.

After taking her revenge, she realized she wouldn't survive, so she had no interest in inheriting Zhengyi's cause.

"Sincerity! The most important thing in doing business is sincerity!" Zheng Yi said.

Ai almost burst out laughing.

I just took care of the uncooperative guy, and you're telling me to be sincere?
"hehe."

Sato, sitting in the driver's seat, sneered and mocked Masakazu: "Your so-called sincerity is to buy Mr. Fujiwara's cinema at half the price."

"If Mr. Fujiwara refuses, are you going to send someone to kill him?"

"No, no, no." Masakazu shook his head and said, "First of all, I did not kill Mr. Fujiwara."

Although various newspapers in Tokyo have some misunderstandings about me, and even some negative rumors about me circulate among the public, I have truly never killed a single chicken.

I never pursue these negative comments about me, which proves that I am a kind and gentle person.

Sato and Ai both snorted coldly.

Sato: Fujiwara and Okino Yoko's ex-boyfriends, they couldn't all have committed suicide, could they?
Ai: My sister couldn't have committed suicide too, could she?
Shoichi slowly lowered his head and looked at Ai.

What, you don't believe me either?

Ai carefully looked up and stared into Shoichi's eyes, her expression freezing.

Oh no, I've revealed my true feelings.

Then, Ai gave a silly look, yawned, and curled up against Shoichi as if she was sleepy.

Masakazu patted Ai's head, just like petting a kitten.

Ai closed her eyes.

Patience is necessary before revenge is taken.

Zheng Yi added, "Secondly, Mr. Fujiwara is burdened with huge debts, and my willingness to pay half the price to acquire his cinema is already a very sincere gesture."

You can try to find out who's willing to buy his theaters right now.

Mr. Fujiwara has now tragically committed suicide.

Then they didn't even have to pay half the price; sincerity really does work.

We are soliciting name suggestions for Zhengyi Group. Thank you to all shareholders.
