Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 74 is even more outrageous than suicide.

Conan felt heavy-hearted.

Of all the people present, apart from Zheng Yi, whom he had never met before, it seemed that no one believed him.

It's a shame he helped Inspector Megure solve so many cases, yet he doesn't believe me at all.

Differences are always revealed through comparison.

Despite being distrusted by the police.

But the case still needs to be solved, and I must clear my name.

Conan, who had been dragged out, sneaked back in and gave Inspector Megure a shot.

"Ugh~ Ah~"

Inspector Megure's large body swayed slightly before he sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Inspector Megure, how are you?" Takagi asked worriedly.

"I am fine."

Conan hid behind Inspector Megure and said in Megure's voice, "I already know how Kishimoto died."

Sato looked at Inspector Megure, whose eyes were tightly closed, and asked with a frown, "Suicide?"

“Of course.” Choso answered Sato’s question on behalf of Megure: “There were no signs of anyone in the room, so there is no other possibility except suicide.”

Continuing the investigation would only be a waste of time.

"No!"

Megure's deep voice reached everyone's ears.

Choso chuckled and adjusted his glasses.

It was so much fun.

Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure always start by stirring up trouble for Shoichi before proving his innocence.

I really don't understand their purpose in doing this.

Not only Chomune knew their habits, but Sato did too.

Therefore, she did not immediately regard Inspector Megure as a reformed individual.

"Inspector Megure, how do you think Mr. Kishimoto died?" Shoichi asked.

“Mr. Kishimoto died in an accident,” Megure said.

"Accident?"

"That's right!"

Megure continued, "Mr. Kishimoto did not commit suicide, nor was he killed by anyone else; he died in an accident."

Choso almost couldn't help but applaud Inspector Megure.

He is truly a genius.

Suicide and accidental death are the same; both are deaths without a perpetrator.

There are already enough suicide dramas, so let's add some accidental death stories, right? That way, we can deceive those ignorant citizens.

"Takagi."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Inspector Megure call his name, Takagi immediately stood at attention.

"Take off your shoes."

"Huh?" Takagi looked at Inspector Megure in confusion.

"Take off your shoes and socks."

"oh oh."

Despite her puzzled expression, Takagi obediently took off her shoes and socks and stood barefoot on the floor.

"Chōzō, get the scissors ready that can cut the wire, and then stand next to the bathtub."

"no problem."

Choso stood beside the bathtub with scissors in his hand.

“Now, Takagi, walk towards the bathtub,” 'Inspector Megure' said.

"Oh."

Takagi, puzzled, followed Inspector Megure's instructions, but his foot slipped and he stepped into the water on the floor. He then tumbled towards the bathtub, landing inside. His hand accidentally grabbed the clothesline, which wrapped around his neck.

Moreover, the clothesline tightened more and more, and the feeling of suffocation made Takagi start to struggle.

But the bathtub was full of shower gel, and when I put my hand on it, it just slid off, and I couldn't find any point of leverage.

In the end, Chosoko used scissors to cut the clothesline.

Having been given a new lease on life, Takagi collapsed in the bathtub, panting heavily.

"Takagi, how do you feel?" 'Inspector Megure' asked.

Takagi touched his neck, still shaken, and said:
"I felt a sudden pressure on my neck, and I couldn't make a sound, especially when my arms couldn't support my body. It was very frustrating."

Conan, who was hiding behind Inspector Megure, nodded.

"Now you should know how Mr. Kishimoto died, right?" Inspector Megure said.
"Like Takagi, Kishimoto didn't notice the toilet was leaking while taking a shower, stepped directly into the water, and then fell into a crisis just like Takagi."

However, Takagi had Nagamune by his side, while Kishimoto lived alone, so he had to accept death alone.

Another difference between him and Takagi is that Takagi was strangled by a clothesline, while Kishimoto was strangled by a metal hose connected to a showerhead.

Unfortunately, it would take time for Conan to break down the door, and Kishimoto didn't get to wait for Conan to come in and rescue him.

Conan looked very disappointed.

They finally found a member of the organization, only to have him die so hastily.

He peeked out and glanced at Kishimoto's corpse.

Working in a bank means assisting the organization with financial matters, not being an assassin; physical fitness and reaction speed are both lacking.

It's normal to die in an accident.

"Slap, slap, slap, slap."

Shoichi stood up and applauded 'Inspector Megure'.

What a brilliant deduction! It even included a death replay. Inspector Megure is amazing.

“It seems that Mr. Kishimoto did indeed die in an accident,” Masakazu said.

Sato bit her lip.

Whenever she saw Zheng Yi's amused look, she was certain that Zheng Yi knew more about the truth than anyone else.

Unfortunately, Inspector Megure's analysis was almost flawless.

They even had Takagi replicate Kishimoto's death, and apart from the bugging device, there was no possibility of him being murdered.

"What about the bugging device? How do you explain that bugging device?" Sato asked.

Conan shrank back behind Inspector Megure, rubbing his temples in exasperation.

This is really hard to explain.

“I don’t know either, but the bugging device may not be related to Mr. Kishimoto’s death,” 'Inspector Megure' said.

Shoichi also spoke up for Inspector Megure, saying, "There was no trace of Shinichi Kudo at the scene. Maybe he's just a simple pervert?"

So, you just want to spy on Mr. Kishimoto and then do something bad?

Conan, hiding behind Inspector Megure, curled his lip.

It would be better not to explain at all.

He went from being a murder suspect to a pervert who stalked middle-aged men.

Sato's face was as dark as water.

Shinichi Kudo has been missing for a long time, and no one can contact him. No one knows why he is here.

Sato stared at Inspector Megure and said, "Inspector Megure, if you really believe that Mr. Kishimoto died in an accident and that you have a clear conscience about your reasoning, then open your eyes now."

Zheng Yi quietly sat back down in his chair.

Meow meow meow, there's still some fun to watch!

Sato stepped forward and grabbed Inspector Megure's arm, startling Conan behind him.

"Inspector Megure! If you have a clear conscience, open your eyes!"

Conan quietly put the ribbon away.

Even though Sato was so close to him, he didn't dare to speak.

"Open your eyes and look at me! I don't believe you can truly say you have no guilty conscience!"
