Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 15 Miyano Akemi, you didn't want this either...

"Brother Mori, is the murderer Sumitomo Shoichi?" Inspector Megure asked.

"No! It wasn't him!"

Inspector Megure was startled. "So, you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also bowed down to the powerful?"
"The murderer is actually Mr. Takeda's son, Kazuo Takeda."

"How could this be!" Kazuo Takeda shouted. "How could I possibly kill my own father!"

"Really?"

Kogoro Mori said in a low voice, "I heard from Mrs. Takeda that you used all your money to hoard copper mines. Recently, the price of copper has plummeted from $2800 per ton to just over $1,000. You should have lost everything."

If I'm not mistaken, you must have taken out a considerable loan from the bank, right?

Zheng Yi wiped his mouth, raised his hand and said, "Ahem, it's only one million US dollars, at Sumitomo Bank. I handled his business before I resigned."

His reputation as a timely helper is well-deserved.

He really enjoys lending money to others.

"It's all your fault!"

Upon hearing Masakazu's voice, Kazuo Takeda seemed to have an emotional breakdown.

With a hoarse voice, he roared at Masakazu, "If it weren't for the Sumitomo family's malicious manipulation of copper prices, how could I have gone bankrupt!"

Zheng Yi frowned, took out a tissue, and wiped the drool that had sprayed onto his clothes.

"Copper prices have long been out of normal range. Any normal person would know they should have stopped long ago. If you can't control your greed, you can't blame anyone else."

Besides, I'm not the one who drove up copper prices.

"You should think about it on a bright side. You only lost a million dollars, while Sumitomo Corporation lost billions of dollars. Does that make you feel a little better?" Masakazu laughed and threw a tissue at his face.

If you're going to talk, then talk properly. Why are you spitting all the time?
Taking the tissue that Miyano Akemi handed him, Shoichi wiped himself down again.

Then she secretly complained that her secretary was incompetent, saying that it was unacceptable for the boss to clean up dirty things himself and that she didn't even offer to help.

“You deserve to die! If it weren’t for you, I would never have risked killing my father to inherit his estate!” Kazuo Takeda said maniacally.

Conan, who was hiding behind Kogoro Mouri, was taken aback.

I haven't even started reasoning yet, how did this guy self-destruct?

"No! I didn't kill my father, I didn't kill anyone!"

Reason returned to his mind temporarily, and Kazuo Takeda immediately changed his story, refusing to admit that he had killed Taro Takeda.

But young Conan longed for glory.

He recounted in detail Kazuo Takeda's methods of murder. After Takagi presented the irrefutable evidence, Kazuo Takeda knelt on the ground like a dead dog.

Zheng Yi said to the forensic doctor, "By the way, what was your autopsy report just now? I didn't hear it clearly."

"The first shot hit a vital organ, causing Taro Takeda's death. The remaining shots were pure torture, extremely heinous in nature!" the forensic doctor said meticulously.

Inspector Megure's lips twitched.

The change in you before and after is too great, isn't it?
"Let's call it a day." Inspector Megure sighed helplessly.

Let the judge decide how to rule.

It's already quite remarkable that he was able to find the real culprit, right?
……

As Zheng Yi stepped out of the villa, he did not feel any anger at being suspected of being a suspect.

Why would someone be suspected of being a suspect?

Because the person you wanted to kill is dead, and that's a good thing.

“Akami, go and transfer Takeda Kazuo’s debt to Sumitomo Bank to me,” Masakazu said to Miyano Akami.

"I don't know how," Akemi Miyano said honestly.

Zheng Yi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the bank staff will teach you."

Akemi Miyano was speechless.

Did the bank tell me how to transfer their money to you?

Zheng Yi added, "As Takeda Taro's successor, Takeda Kazuo is entitled to inherit his company shares."

"You help me acquire his company." "I won't," Miyano Akemi said.

"If you don't know how, you can learn!" Zheng Yi said with a smile.

"With Taro Takeda dead and his successor Kazuo Takeda imprisoned, the remaining companies are bound to be in chaos. And they just landed a project."

If they can't complete the project on time, they won't get paid, and without payment, they can't pay their employees.

Think about those poor employees.

Akemi Miyano, you don't want them to lose their jobs, do you?

Akemi Miyano gritted her teeth.

Masakazu patted Miyano Akemi on the shoulder, but she resisted and dodged away.

“For the sake of their jobs, Ms. Miyano, please try your best to learn how to acquire companies,” Masakazu said.

"understood."

Akemi Miyano gritted her teeth.

"I expect you to become a qualified secretary."

Masakazu tried to pat Miyano Akemi on the shoulder again, but she dodged it.

Akemi Miyano glared at Masakazu.

The tasks you've assigned aren't things a secretary needs to handle.
……

Akemi Miyano has a strong learning ability.

With the guidance of professionals, Kazuo Takeda's debts were transferred, and then the acquisition of Takeda Construction Company was quickly completed.

The merger process did not cause any major disturbances.

With the chairman dead, the remaining minority shareholders are in a panic, and it would be ideal if someone could take over.

However, there were some minor incidents as well.

It was clearly just a perfectly normal business transaction, but there were always some unreliable rumors circulating around.

They claim that Sumitomo Shoichi used his status as a zaibatsu (financial conglomerate) to extort and plunder.

They shot and killed Takeda Taro right in front of the police, and then made up a flimsy excuse, saying that Takeda Taro died of poisoning.

After realizing the reason was absurd, they framed Takeda Kazuo, thus eliminating any future trouble.

He even declared that anyone who dared to oppose him would be his enemy.

Many people believe this news, and even a shady newspaper reported on it.

Masakazu sighed and handed the newspaper to Ai: "What do you think?"

Ai glanced at the newspaper.

I think you are guilty of heinous crimes and deserve to be torn to pieces.

"You're a good person, they're all framing you," Ai said to Masakazu in a sweet voice that even she found disgusting.

Zheng Yi nodded and placed his hand on Xiao Ai's fluffy hair.

Take your dirty hands off!

Ai roared inwardly, but in reality, she was still gathering the strength to defeat Shoichi, and chose to endure for the time being.

Sooner or later, she won't have to endure this anymore.

“Don’t you like playing games? I specially bought you a game outfit today,” Masakazu said to Ai.

"Game server?" Ai looked at Zheng Yi in surprise.

What game server?

Zheng Yi took out a set of yellow clothes from his backpack.

Upon unfolding it, it turned out to be a dragon robe.

"Don't you like playing the game 'Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin'? Last night you played Jing Ke, today it's my turn to play Jing Ke and assassinate you, the King of Qin."
