Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Let's talk about it at the end of Chapter 45.

Although no agreement was reached with those three film companies.

But a responsible boss would never bring troubles to his employees.

"Mr. Shoichi, you wanted to see me?" Yoko Okino carefully opened the door to Shoichi's office.

"Hmm." Masayu nodded, poured her a cup of tea, and asked, "I heard you're quite familiar with Kogoro Mouri?"

“We’re not very close. I just asked him to help investigate a case,” Yoko Okino said.

That's your personal detective, how could I possibly be familiar with him?

Getting close to your henchmen is definitely a taboo.

"Since we're so familiar with each other, that makes things easier."

Yoko Okino: ...

Zheng Yi said, "Since you're good friends, invite him to visit the film set more often. Oh, and remember to ask him to bring his family."

"Huh?" Yoko Okino looked at Masakazu in surprise.

They've already done the special effects and editing for the movie, so why invite Kogoro Mouri over to watch it?
“I know, I will invite him to the wrap party for the film crew,” Yoko Okino said.

"That's good. Remember to make him bring his children, especially the little boy."

"Yes."

Yoko Okino nodded.

The little boy was specifically mentioned, and Zheng Yi was always accompanied by a little girl, so it seems that Zheng Yi really likes children.

"Go ahead."

"Yes."

Yoko Okino left the office with light, quick steps.

After informing Yoko Okino, Masakazu took out his phone and called the people from the three film companies one by one:

"Hello? Is this Takeshita? I'd like to invite you to the wrap party for 'The Ring,' and also have a final chat with you."

Regarding revenue sharing and scheduling, and also, you can invite some close friends over.

They had no reason to refuse Zheng Yi's invitation.

But the three people who received the call were on edge, and couldn't help but start to overthink, wondering if it was an ultimatum.

Now it is a society ruled by law.

Even if that guy is arrogant, he would at least try to cover up his murders, right?

Zheng Yi put down his phone and looked out the window.

He had a feeling that he was hosting a trap, even though he hadn't arranged for any executioners, but had simply invited the Grim Reaper family in.

No, that's not right. The Grim Reaper family was invited by Yoko Okino.

Then he would be even more pure and innocent.

Sigh~ Death and his family are out and about, I wonder how many more people will die a violent death.

……

"Xiaochi."

"Editor-in-Chief."

Koike sat up from her chair and looked at the editor-in-chief respectfully.

He had already received last month's bonus, which was so generous that it defied Xiaochi's expectations.

Not only can she uphold the justice in her heart, but she can also earn a living. Koike never thought that such a wonderful thing could happen.

"Sumitomo Shoichi's Justice Film Company is about to release 'Midnight Horror,' could you help write a report to promote it?" the editor-in-chief said.

"What!?" Koike looked at the editor-in-chief in disbelief.

It feels like my faith has been ruined.

Has the editor-in-chief also betrayed his own principles of justice?

wrong!

"Justice Film Company?" Koike noticed the identical name. "Hmph!" The editor-in-chief snorted and said, "That guy, Sumitomo Shoichi, shamelessly registered his company as 'Justice Group,' and all its subsidiaries are called Justice Company."

Shameless, utterly remorseful, and utterly disregarding the name of justice!

The editor-in-chief's words confused Koike again.

Are we actually a newspaper under the Justice Group? Why is the editor-in-chief constantly criticizing Sumitomo Shoichi?

"Sigh!" The editor-in-chief patted Xiaochi on the shoulder and said, "Our newspaper used this name first. They are blatantly infringing on our rights, and we are already suing them."

However, the lawsuit will be very long, probably taking a year to reach a conclusion. During this year, we will have to temporarily use the same names as them.

"I see," Koike suddenly realized.

"So you're going to promote the movie for them?"

The editor-in-chief remained silent, but simply took out a photograph.

The photo is chilling: a man dressed in black is holding a pistol and pointing it at the director of "The Ring".

The director's face was tense; he didn't dare to look back, his eyes fixed on the computer screen.

The photos have a cinematic quality.

"What is this?" Koike asked in confusion.

"The director of this film was brought over by Zheng Yi with a gun pointed at his head," the editor-in-chief said.

Koike was taken aback.

It's hard to believe that something like this still happens today.

But thinking about what Zheng Yi did, it seems acceptable. After all, he only pointed a gun at the director's head; he didn't actually fire it.
"Editor-in-chief, I understand what you mean," Koike said.

This is outrageous; it's a ruthless trampling of the law.

He was determined to let more people know just how lawless that guy was.

"Editor-in-chief, do you think we could contact this director and ask him to come forward and identify Zheng Yi's crimes?" Xiao Chi asked.

"Let's finish writing this news story first. Whether or not to contact the victim is something I should consider," the editor-in-chief said.

You're just a reporter, don't think about those messy things, it won't do you any good.

……

"Ms. Yoko actually invited me to the wrap party for her movie!"

Kogoro is seen hugging Yoko Okino's photobook with a perverted look on his face.

Xiao Lan asked, "Is it the movie from Zheng Yi Ge's company?"

"Shoichi-san?" Kogoro Mouri and Conan looked at Ran with suspicion at the same time: "When did you meet him?"

Ran, suddenly becoming the target of interrogation, took a step back and said, "When I met him with Sonoko, we exchanged contact information and have kept in touch ever since."

"Why would he be in contact with you?" Conan asked excitedly, even more excited than his father, Kogoro Mouri.

"Ask Ai a few things," Ran said.

Recently, Ai has been learning karate from her, and she often tells Shoichi about it via email when Ai is doing experiments in the chemistry lab.

Zheng Yi is definitely a very good older brother who cares a lot about his younger sister.

Conan breathed a slight sigh of relief. It was just about his sister; that was fine.

Kogoro Mouri said, "You'd better not contact that guy. He's not a good person. Don't trust people easily."

"But I trust Dad's reasoning more," Xiaolan said with a smile.

"Doesn't Dad's reasoning always prove that Zheng Yi is innocent and has never done anything wrong?"

Kogoro Mouri raised his eyebrows and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

"Oh dear, my reasoning is certainly correct..."

"Alright, Uncle, we should head over to Yoko's wrap party now," Conan said.

Please, I solved all those cases, okay? Can you stop being so smug?
