Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 101 Teasing Vermouth

After being moved, Conan did not hesitate and immediately began his investigation.

Because he knew that, due to everyone's prejudice, everyone strongly suspected that the murderer was Brother Zhengyi.

It's really hard to understand why this is.

Is it simply because Zheng Yi had a grudge against the victim several times?

What kind of thinking is this? How can you doubt Brother Zhengyi just because of this?

"Clang~ Clang"

After Conan ran out, Tequila, who was using a cane, walked over.

"Why did you come here?" Zheng Yi asked.

Zheng Yi looked at the tequila. The bandages on his body hadn't been removed yet, making him look like a bandaged monster that could scare a child.

Actually, the wounds on Agave's body have almost healed.

But Zheng Yi believed that only this kind of attire would make him recognizable and memorable to employees, so he kept him dressed like this.

I don't care about the tequila; I have to follow the boss's orders, of course.

Moreover, this outfit can also conceal one's identity, which is very convenient.

I wonder if Conan will still be able to recognize the tequila after seeing it.

"Because a reporter from our newspaper took a very interesting photo." Tequila took out a photo and handed it to Zhengyi.

Zheng Yi smiled when he saw the photo.

What a coincidence!

"It seems we saved Pisco's life."

“Who says otherwise?” said Tequila.

The photo shows Pisco shooting an art light with a pistol, and the reporter who turned on the flash was a reporter from the Daily Justice.

"Is that reporter reliable?" Zheng Yi asked.

"Ahem," Tequila said, "Not every journalist will uphold justice, but they can also uphold righteousness."

"Huh? I am inherently righteous," Zheng Yi said with dissatisfaction.

Agave nodded.

Whether you are righteous or not is not for discussion.

"Is this photo meant to boost our newspaper's sales, or is it a gift for Pisco?" Tequila said.

"They're all members of the organization, and you actually want to expose him? Aren't you afraid Gin will punish you?" Zhengyi asked.

“Gin will only think Pisco is dishonest,” Tequila said.

Zheng Yi shook his head.

He still lacks understanding of Gin.

"Let's keep it for now and use it later," Zheng Yi said.

"it is good."

Shoichi and Tequila arrived at the Beika Hotel's liquor storage area, the place where Gin and Pisco had arranged to meet.

They were the first to arrive; Gin and Pisco hadn't come yet.

Zheng Yi wandered around inside and picked up a bottle of baijiu.

“This liquor is really strong,” Tequila said to Zhengyi.

"I just like strong liquor."

Tequila took out a bottle of vodka.

He remembered that even when Zheng Yi was in the organization's bar, he always drank juice.

"Would you like a drink?" Tequila asked, taking down two glasses.

“Never mind, I just like collecting some strong liquor,” Zheng Yi said.

While the two were talking, they heard footsteps outside.

"Click."

Upon seeing the two people in the room, Gin's thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, forming a knot between them, adding a touch of gloom to his otherwise cold and stern face. When it's time to carry out a mission, neither of them comes over.

Now that the task is complete, one, two, three people have all come over to join in the fun.

"Belmod?"

"Are you surprised to see me?" Vermouth walked to the table, took Tequila's seat, and poured herself a glass of wine.

Then he took a sip elegantly, crossed his legs, and sat leisurely in his chair, watching Zheng Yi.

"I just didn't expect you to be absent while we were working, but then you showed up to join in the fun after we finished," Zheng Yi said with a smile.

In this way, Vermouth wouldn't experience any psychological fluctuations.

"Wow, it's really lively here."

Not long after, Pisco, the main character, arrived.

Pisco laughed and said, "I didn't expect so many people to come and watch my operation."

No one responded to him, which made the atmosphere a bit awkward.

Gin said coldly, "Pisco, you're too slow."

Pisco said calmly, "A little boy came up to me and asked if I had lost my handkerchief. He asked me some random questions, so I was a little late."

Pisco pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and waved it: "Thanks to Cointreau for preparing one for me in advance, otherwise I would have become a suspect too."

"You're welcome," Zheng Yi said.

Gin asked, "Did that brat sense something was wrong with you?"

“Not really,” Pisco said. “That kid was just guessing that the owner of the purple handkerchief was connected to the murderer.”

As for me, I have already cleared myself of suspicion.

"Heh." Gin sneered, "Looks like you really are getting old. If it weren't for Jundu, you would have been arrested by the police already."

Pisco's expression was not good.

No one would feel good being criticized by a junior in front of other juniors.

Gin continued, "Since that brat has the possibility that you are the murderer, then go and kill him."

“Okay.” Pisco nodded.

"Is that kid wearing blue clothes and those ugly black-rimmed glasses?" Zheng Yi suddenly asked.

Pisco thought for a moment and then nodded, saying, "Indeed. What, do you know him, Cointreau?"

"We do know each other."

Zheng Yi said, "I was the one who asked him to investigate this case. I feel that this child has the potential to become a famous detective."

Gin couldn't help but laugh.

Is this guy, Coindus, starting to train his lackeys from a young age?
This shows how afraid they are of not having enough detectives and lackeys in the future.

While they were talking, Vermouth didn't say a word, but silently drank half a bottle of wine.

Pisco looked at Zheng Yi and said, "Since that child is someone Jun Du values, then let's spare his life."

Pisco, using Shoichi's name, wanted to defy Gin's orders once.

Gin simply lit a cigarette and said nothing more.

Zheng Yi said with a wry smile, "This time, I guess many people will think that I was the one who killed Senator Tunkou."

When Gin saw Shoichi's face, all he wanted to do was punch him.

Even if you get a bargain, you still behave well.

Shoichi, oblivious to Gin's expression, continued, "The reason I befriended detectives was so that they could clear my name."

Unfortunately, nobody here believes Zhengyi's nonsense.

“Let’s go, lest the police find this place later,” Vermouth suddenly said, standing up.

“Alright, I should take my future famous detective home now. Kids should go to bed on time at night,” Zheng Yi said.

As he reached the door, Zheng Yi said to Vermouth, "Oh, and don't forget to go to work on time."
