Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 98 Of those who rejected me, not many are still alive.

Zhengyi and Curaçao arrived at the construction company.

"Mr. Zhengyi."

"Swallowing mouth councilor."

The councilor was very enthusiastic and humble.

"Mr. Zhengyi, how many employees does your company have now?" Representative Tunkou asked.

"Nearly two thousand employees," Zheng Yi said.

There is still a long way to go compared to those giants.

Representative Tunkou nodded; two thousand employees was already a lot.

After touring the company premises, Representative Tunkui said softly to Masakazu, "Your company is excellent, but it lacks experience in constructing large-scale projects, so..."

The congressman's words were vague, but they conveyed a sense of rejection.

She was staring at him expressionlessly.

I already let you watch a movie, why are you still refusing me?
Zheng Yi glanced at the senator, and thought to himself, "This guy really does have a face that's utterly clueless about what's good for him."

Few men who dared to refuse Zheng Yi are still alive.

The sight of the senator with the swallowed mouth was a little creepy.

But there was no other way; once you take the money, you have to do the job, otherwise you won't have any money left, and your own fate won't be good either.

“Ahem, although Justice Construction is quite large and capable, this project is too big. I wonder if you would be willing to participate in this project with other companies,” said Representative Tunkou.

Zheng Yi shook his head: "I'm a rather possessive person, and I don't like sharing a project with others, just like I don't like killing a man with someone else."

What kind of strange analogy is that?

The senator's heart was pounding.

Sending movie copies was a subtle threat before, but now it's a direct and open threat, isn't it?

"Mr. Zhengyi, you..."

"Wait a minute, maybe I didn't explain myself clearly," Zheng Yi said. "When I play games, I like to solo bosses."

"Is that so?" Representative Tunkou's smile was somewhat forced.

It’s better not to explain.

A half-hearted explanation is more frightening than no explanation at all.

This isn't an explanation, it's an emphasis!
Representative Tunkuchi straightened his clothes and said, "Mr. Shoichi, I will do my best to fight for you."

"I hope you can do your best."

“Don’t worry,” said Representative Tunkou.

It's impossible to win it over.

He's already taken the money, so why should he give it back?

Let's keep Zheng Yi in check first. Once we get this money, plus what we had before, we should be set for life and can then stop and head to America without worry.

No matter how much Zhengyi lorded over Japan, he couldn't do anything to him in America.

After seeing off Representative Tunkou, Zheng Yi yawned out of boredom.

This man is dishonest.

"Why are there so many people rejecting me?" Zheng Yi shook his head.

After Zheng Yi and Curaçao got into the car, a phone call came in.

"I have investigated thoroughly. Most construction companies have given up bidding against you this time. The only competitive opponent is Takenaka Construction Company."

It not only spent a lot of money, but also deterred many competitors.

Moreover, they spent money to bribe many officials and members of parliament in order to secure this project.

"They've spent so much money, no matter how much you threaten them, they're not going to give up."

"Is there any evidence that they bribed officials?" Zheng Yi asked.

“This isn’t something that can be obtained in a short time,” Agave said.

Zheng Yi nodded and said to Tequila, "Then let the Daily Justice do justice once again and expose the corrupt practices of Congressman Tunkou."

“But we have no evidence,” Tequila said, frowning.

“If I had evidence, I would have put that guy in jail. Why would I need you to make things difficult for him in the newspapers?” Zheng Yi said.

“That makes sense,” said Tequila.

When there is no evidence, the media and newspapers are indeed a very useful weapon.

"Is there anything else I need to do?" Tequila asked.

“There aren’t that many left for now. Let’s expose the darkness within Tokyo’s officialdom,” Zheng Yi said.

Agave nodded.

"But if that's the case, I'm afraid our newspaper will encounter some trouble."

Many people dislike exposing darkness.

This time they exposed the corruption of the councilor, but who knows who will be exposed next?

"Don't worry, I'll let the others know. My purpose is clear. As long as you don't involve anyone else, no one will cause you trouble," Zheng Yi said.

“Okay.” Zheng Yi added, “If there’s any news from the organization, please let me know as well.”

“Understood,” said Tequila.

Zheng Yi is also a member of the organization, so telling him about the organization doesn't count as betraying it.

"Takenaka Construction Shop".

Zheng Yi muttered the name to himself.

"Curaçao, do you know the names of the people at Takenaka Construction?" Masakazu asked.

“Inoue Rao-jin,” Curaçao said.

"Inoue forgives~"

Zheng Yi muttered the name to himself, took out his phone, and unconsciously dialed Xiao Lan's number.

Few of those who dared to compete with him are still alive.

……

"A glass of vodka, please."

Gin took a swig of vodka, which relieved much of his fatigue.

"Thump~"

A small flame shot out from the lighter and lit the cigarette in Gin's mouth.

"Whoo~"

"Another mission has come down from above. Shigehiko Tonoguchi, a member of parliament in Tokyo." Gin lit the note with that name on it.

"Brother, did this guy somehow offend the organization's interests?" Vodka asked.

Gin said, "This guy inadvertently came into contact with the organization and vaguely learned of its existence."

If that were all, the organization wouldn't have immediately gone to silence them.

The organization would first try to cooperate with someone who wields considerable power in Tokyo; only if cooperation is impossible would they eliminate him.

But this time is different.

This guy suddenly became embroiled in a large number of corruption scandals.

After the scandal broke, he almost never went out and no one knew where he was hiding.

I believe the Metropolitan Police Department will soon begin investigating him. In order to prevent the organization from being exposed, we must eliminate him before the Metropolitan Police Department contacts him.

"This mission will be handled by Tequila," Gin said.

“But brother,” Vodka said, “Tequila’s injuries haven’t healed yet, and he’s been working for Cointreau all this time, so he probably won’t have time to go on a mission.”

Gin frowned, but didn't say anything more.

Agave was injured while carrying out an organizational mission.

“I remember there’s going to be a memorial service for director Sakamaki soon,” Gin said.

“That’s right.” Vodka nodded and said, “That director was quite famous. Many celebrities from the entertainment, political and business circles would attend. His memorial service has been in the newspapers for several days now.”

"That guy, Tunkou, is also on the invitee list."

“Then let Vermouth do it,” Gin said.

Vermouth is currently in Tokyo; it would be a real shame not to take advantage of her.

Moreover, since that girl is a Hollywood actress, it wouldn't be out of place for her to attend Director Jiu Juan's memorial service; she could simply resolve the issue at the memorial service.

“But Vermouth seems to have gone missing recently,” Vodka said softly.

"Ok?"

Vodka, observing Gin's expression, cautiously said, "Vermouth just finished filming Cointreau's movie and is very tired. I haven't been able to contact her."

But I heard from Jundu that Vermouth is currently in charge of money laundering for the organization, so she probably can't spare the time.

Gin wiped his pistol clean.

Can't Vermouth be used either?
Has that guy Cointreau already poached two members from the organization?
"Since Junto has borrowed members of the organization, then let Junto kill them," Gin said coldly.

Vodka didn't dare to say a word.

Sending that young master to kill someone? That probably won't work.

When Cointreau first returned to Japan, he told his boss to his face that he would not help the organization kill people, and even mocked his brother, the assassin, as a rat in a ditch.

Can you really expect someone like that to kill for the organization?

Gin also realized that his idea might not work; that guy Cointreau would only mock him with disgusting eyes.

Gin then considered other organization members he could use.

“Let Pisco do it,” Gin said.

Pisco is the most suitable person to be the director of the wine roll.

This guy is a big shot in the financial world.

Vodka frowned and asked, "Brother, Pisco is that age; he's already retired from the task force and hasn't carried out any missions for the organization in a long time. Is he up to the task?"

“As long as that guy isn’t too old to hold a gun, there’s no problem,” Gin said.

Thanks to Zheng Yi, the organization didn't have anyone suitable to carry out the mission, so they had to send a guy who had already retired to the second line back into the wild to kill people.
