Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 146 Ai: How can people be so evil?

"Ah!"

Heiji rubbed his nose, sensing that something was thinking about him.

"Hey?"

Heiji! What were you doing in Tokyo?!

"Find Shinichi Kudo and have a battle of detectives."

And let this guy see Zhengyi's true colors.

Kazuha, far away in Osaka, holding a newspaper, said, "Didn't you read the newspaper?"

"Why are you reading the newspaper?" Heiji asked curiously.

"You're on the front page," Kazuha said.

"what?"

Heiji scratched his head. Was he on the front page?
Did I suppress the news of Shinichi Kudo's return to action?
Heiji himself didn't know what he had done to suppress Shinichi Kudo's headlines.

He casually bought a newspaper.

Heiji Hattori was indeed in the headlines, still with Shinichi Kudo.

Breaking News! Three Investigators Extremely Humiliate Police Force; Is Police Authority Really So Vulnerable?

When the Three Great Detectives Meet the Police: Ultimate Humiliation Sparks Fierce Confrontation Between the Detectives!

He, Shinichi Kudo, and Kogoro Mouri became the three great detectives who humiliated the police.

The three detectives fooled the police, defied the law, distorted the truth, reversed right and wrong, and attempted to deceive the public.

Their actions will surely be judged by justice, nailed to the pillar of historical shame, and despised by the world!

"So I'm this bad after all," Heiji muttered to himself.

The person who wrote it was quite capable; even Heiji himself thought he was utterly wicked.

"Then why wasn't Shoichi's name mentioned at all?" Heiji thought resentfully.

The reports are so detailed that they must be treating the three of them as lackeys of Zheng Yi.

However, the news reports made no mention of Zheng Yi.

It was as if the three detectives were the real culprits who had fooled the police and enraged them.

"This is fake news! Who gave you permission to write this nonsense in the newspaper?"

Heiji saw a little boy holding a newspaper and yelling at a reporter who came out of the newspaper office.

"Kid, we never report false information."

"This is all misinformation," Conan said, dissatisfied.

hateful!

These unscrupulous media outlets.

After causing trouble for Brother Zhengyi, are they now going to cause trouble for the detective?
These guys are absolutely insane when it comes to sales!
"Kudo!"

"Uh-huh?"

Conan turned around and saw Heiji walking towards him, saying, "You've mistaken me for someone else, Heiji-nii. I'm Edogawa Conan."

"You are Kudo, there's no mistake!" Heiji slapped Conan on the shoulder.

“I saw Zheng Yi take off your clothes.”

……

"Shoichi has made another move," Hakuba Saguru said, looking at the newspaper.

Moreover, Zheng Yi has truly demonstrated his strength this time.

The three very famous detectives were all Zheng Yi's lackeys, and even the police's fury could not change the outcome of the case.

"That bastard! He's even worse than you can imagine!" Kaito said with a face full of resentment.

Hakuba glanced at Kaito.

When did you become so righteous?

"you……"

"Hakuba Saguru, you have to find evidence of his crimes quickly!" Kaito said.

"Uh, I will." Hakuba Saguru nodded.

Hakuba Saguru looked at Kaito suspiciously and said, "Do you know more about Shoichi?"

"I do not know."

“Tell me everything you know so I can better investigate him!” Hakuba Saguru said.

Kaito looked at Hakuba Saguru, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Can I tell you?

Actually, I am Kaito Kid, and I've been working for Shoichi all along, and even taking the blame for him.

Secretly, I was two-faced and conspired with you to murder him.

That won't do.

Hakuba Saguru felt that Kaito wasn't being honest enough.

How can you bring down Zhengyi if you're with dishonest people?
Hakuba Saguru glanced at the newspaper again, finding its contents extremely jarring.

Because of Heiji Hattori's identity, Hakuba Saguru was also mentioned.

Those unscrupulous media outlets have dug up an old report about him, claiming that he is also a challenger to rules and order.

They're birds of a feather with those three detectives.

If that were all, it wouldn't be enough to make Hakuba Saguru angry.

What he couldn't stand was the praise and adulation of Zhengyi in the newspapers.

The words in the newspaper were extremely flattering.

It is said that Zheng Yi has solved the employment problem, supported the livelihoods of many families, and driven economic development.

It's as if those bankrupt companies have nothing to do with Zhengyi.

Who exactly ruined Japan's economy?
"It seems like Shoichi came to this restaurant." Kaito said quietly, pointing to the entrance.

Bai Ma Tan frowned.

The last time he and Kaito encountered Shoichi at the coffee shop, they were almost killed.

Kaito said, "Could it be that Shoichi has come to get rid of us?"

He genuinely had this concern.

After he carried the huge pot on Zheng Yi's back, which had been used to shoot down the Tokyo Tower, he was really worried that Zheng Yi would come to eliminate any future troubles.

If Kaito Kid is killed, then no one will stand up and say that Tokyo Tower wasn't shot down by Kaito Kid.

"It's hard to say, but just be careful," Hakuba Saguru said.

"Then why don't we head out first?" Kaito said.

Now he feels a little intimidated when he sees Zheng Yi.

The scene where Zheng Yi burned the evidence in front of him that day left a deep impression on him.

For some reason, Kaito has been dreaming for several days that Seiichi throws him into the incinerator.

"Why are you so timid?" Bai Ma Tan asked.

How can someone so cowardly possibly bring down Zhengyi?

Kaito remained silent, because he knew Shoichi well, and that's why he was afraid.

He even fired shots at the Tokyo Tower; who knows what he might do next.

Masayu glanced at Kaito and then walked into the private room with Ai.

Xiao Ai kept a good distance from Zheng Yi, afraid that her smell would bother him.

"We'll have biological weapons as a side dish today," Zheng Yi said.

Ai Haibara expressionlessly shifted her position and sat down next to Masakazu. She picked up a small fan from the table and fanned herself vigorously.

He wanted his own scent to drift into Zhengyi's nose.

After all the dishes were served, Zheng Yi picked up a piece of fish from Ai's plate with his chopsticks.

Ai didn't mind and put it directly into her mouth.

Unlike Shoichi, who was a lazy bum with nothing to do, Ai had been working all day and was now very hungry.

"How about we play a little game?"

"Not interested." Ai rolled her eyes at Masahiro.

I'm not in the mood to joke around with you while we're eating.

Zheng Yi said nonchalantly, "You've already started playing."

"Ok?"

Ai stopped eating and looked at Masakazu suspiciously.

“There are nine dishes on the table. I had someone put a laxative in one of them,” Zheng Yi said.

"what?"

Ai touched her stomach, wondering if she had eaten anything with laxatives.

Curaçao also stopped eating, feeling a bit uncomfortable in her stomach.

"Are you sick? Which dish had laxatives in it?!" Ai asked angrily.

"I don't know either." Zheng Yi shook his head.

Ai almost stabbed Shoichi to death with her chopsticks.

"Do you need me to prescribe some medicine for you?" Ai asked. "Why would you do that?"

"Because my life has been smooth sailing, I want to find some excitement in my life," Zheng Yi said.

Why did you bring me along when you were looking for thrills?
Ai held her chopsticks, unsure whether she should eat. What a nutcase!
Zheng Yi picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of spinach, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing that Masakazu was fine after eating, Ai started eating what Masakazu had left over, and Curaçao followed suit.

"I forgot to tell you, I had someone administer an osmotic laxative, so it won't cause immediate diarrhea," Zheng Yi said.

Ai's hand froze again.

He's so mean.

Seeing that Ai and Curaçao had both stopped eating, Zheng Yi started eating on his own, without any concern that he would get diarrhea.

Ai looked suspicious.

Zheng Yi is being too arrogant. Is there really no laxative in this dish?
“By the way,” Zheng Yi said, “I’m going to England for a club event, if you don’t have diarrhea today.”

I'll help you ask for leave and take you with me.

If you have diarrhea, then you'd better stay in the lab and work overtime.

So vicious!
"If I don't have diarrhea, I can take the day off, but can't I go to England with you?" Ai asked.

"No."

Ai hesitated greatly while holding the chopsticks.

She glanced at Curaçao and noticed that he was drinking water and had even put down his chopsticks.

Ai touched her belly.

She is really hungry.

Never mind, let's just eat the dishes that Zhengyi has already eaten.

This guy definitely knows which dishes have laxatives in them; you can't go wrong eating with him.

Ai didn't believe that Masakazu would give her diarrhea.

"Boom!"

Ai glanced at Masakazu, who was tapping the table, and asked, "What are you doing now?"

A smile appeared on Zheng Yi's face.

"It's nothing, you eat, I'm going to the restroom," Zheng Yi said.

"what?"

Ai didn't know whether to eat the food she was holding with her chopsticks or not.

Would this bastard really poison himself?
"Does he really have diarrhea?" Ai asked.

Curaçao shook his head.

she does not know.

Ai then asked, "Do you know which dish Shoichi didn't eat?"

“I ate them all,” Curaçao said.

Ai gritted her teeth.

Damn it, this means there are no safety options left.

Ai wasn't sure if Shoichi was faking it, but she felt that he really did want to get himself into trouble.

Isn't joining an organization just about seeking thrills?
Isn't shooting at Tokyo Tower just looking for a thrill?
That bastard will die sooner or later on his thrill-seeking journey.

"Eat more." Curaçao moved the plate next to her to Ai's side.

"You're growing, eat more."

Ai stared at Curaçao expressionlessly, sensing that Curaçao's motives were impure.

This dish seems to be something Curaçao likes to eat.

"Here you go, you need to eat well to have the strength to protect Zhengyi." Ai pushed the dish back.

Ai and Curaçao looked at each other in bewilderment.

No one had the courage to pick up their chopsticks.

Meanwhile, outside, Kaito and Hakuba Saguru, who had been eavesdropping and had just hidden away because Shoichi had come out, exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat incredulous.

I originally thought Zheng Yi was only mean to outsiders.

I never expected them to be so mean to their own people.

He would even plant "bombs" in his meals, not even sparing himself.

Kaito rubbed his temples.

Since Zheng Yi is so bad, he even thought that what Zheng Yi had told him before was the truth.

Zhengyi really considered him one of his own.

But even though they were all in the same group, Zheng Yi still persecuted them.

When Zheng Yi returned from the restroom, he looked at the two of them, puzzled, and asked, "The food is getting cold, why aren't you eating?"

"Do you have diarrhea?" Ai asked.

"No."

Ai looked at Zheng Yi suspiciously, "Can we really believe what you say?"

"Then why aren't you eating?"

“Because I’m full,” Zheng Yi said.

Ai gritted her teeth.

She was full, but she was also full of anger.

How can a person be so evil?
Ai looked at the table full of food, not daring to gamble on whether there were any laxatives in it.

I was originally quite happy to go out for dinner after get off work.

But there was this annoying guy who made her angry when she came, angry while she was eating, and even angrier when she left.

On the way back, the car ride was a bit bumpy.

Zheng Yi always felt that Curaçao was doing it on purpose, deliberately driving the car onto uneven ground.

"Oh."

Ai was so jostled around that she almost hit her head. She gritted her teeth and looked at Masakazu.

She even deliberately sat next to Zheng Yi and kept rubbing against him, trying to suffocate him with the smell of disinfectant on her body.

"Don't sleep too soundly at night," Zhengyi kindly reminded the two.

It's not good to have an upset stomach while you're asleep.

“You too,” Ai said to Shoichi.

It's been a long time since I gave Zhengyi a knife.

Tonight I want Zhengyi to see if her new knife is sharp.

Curaçao seemed not to hear what Shoichi and Ai said, but pressed the accelerator harder.

……

"Ding dong~"

"coming."

As soon as Akemi Miyano opened the door, a little figure pounced on her.

"Sister, I miss you," Ai said.

Akemi Miyano patted Ai's head. "Don't you have a key? Why did you ring the doorbell?"

And haven't we seen each other in a long time?

Ai bobbed her head and said, "Ringing the doorbell is a nice gesture. Have you cooked yet? Let's eat together."

"Okay," Akemi said. "Didn't Masakazu come with you?"

When Ai usually comes here for a free meal, Shoichi will come along too.

“He’s dead,” Ai said.

"what?"

Akemi blinked, looking at Ai with a puzzled expression.

If Zheng Yi were to die, you wouldn't be so calm, would you?
“He’s so wicked,” Ai said.

After meeting Shoichi, Ai realized just how bad a person could be.

Mingmei pinched her sister's cheek, but didn't seem to care.

My younger sister says Zheng Yi is bad almost every day.

"Let's eat first."

"it is good."

"Ding dong~"

The doorbell rang again.

"It's you?"

Curaçao said, "Shoichi asked me to come and pick up Ai, because he's worried about her safety going home alone at night."

Akemi looked at Curaçao with a puzzled expression.

The entrance is right next to it, what danger is there in that distance?

Akemi said, "Ai is eating now. Let's wait until she finishes dinner before going back."

“Okay.” Curaçao nodded, then stood still at the door.

Mingmei tentatively asked, "Would you like to eat something together?"

"it is good."

Curaçao went in and sat down next to Ai.
