Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 158 Come to my room tonight
"Mr. Amuro Tooru, congratulations on becoming our top salesperson."

"Thank you."

Amuro Tooru accepted the prize money in a daze.

Has he become a top salesperson without anyone noticing?
While helping Zheng Yi sell his car, he didn't forget to investigate the company's background.

He has already found some clues about the illegal transportation of prohibited items, and as long as he continues to investigate, he will definitely find evidence.

Moreover, it appears that the goods transported by this car company are being transported to an organization.

"By the way, Amuro Tooru, you need to go to Nishitama City the day after tomorrow."

"What are you going to Nishitama City for?" Amuro Tooru asked.

The manager said, "Because the Tokiwa family is going to hold an event for the completion ceremony of the Nishitama Twin Towers."

The prize is a car from our company. You'll be responsible for going to the event and introducing the car's advantages to other guests.

The manager leaned close to Amuro Tooru's ear and whispered, "This is Mr. Shoichi who specifically requested that you go."

"Designated by Mr. Shoichi?" Amuro Tooru said in surprise.

Does Zheng Yi still remember him?
"Ahem." The manager said in a low voice, "I think it was Chairman Tokiwa's idea. When she came to buy a car from us, wasn't the order placed by you?"

Amuro Tooru seems to have remembered something.

She was a woman who had placed a large order and wanted to communicate further.

"I see."

"Remember to dress smartly, don't embarrass Mr. Zhengyi," the manager said.

"Don't worry."

……

Shoichi was naturally among those invited to the ceremony for the opening of the twin skyscrapers in Nishitama City.

He arrived in Nishitama City two days early.

"Could you please stop taking me out all the time?" Ai yawned, leaning against the car window.

I just got back from the UK and was punished by being made to clean the neighborhood for riding a motorcycle.

And then, not only did they not stop, they brought me to this ceremony.

Doesn't she want to research an antidote?
Shoichi ignored Ai and kept calculating something on his calculator.

Adding and subtracting, but the sound is still played out loud, making Xiao Ai's head ache.

Zheng Yi continued calculating with great enthusiasm.

I wonder how much money I'll make from this operation.

He put down the calculator and patted Ai's hair.

This hair is really valuable, I must take good care of it and make sure it doesn't fall out.

Ai slapped Shoichi's hand down, feeling that his gaze was presumptuous.

"Ai, you really need to take good care of your hair," Zheng Yi said.

"baffling."

Ai shook her head, not understanding what Zheng Yi was talking about.

The car arrived at the twin skyscrapers in Nishitama City.

"Mr. Zhengyi."

"Hello, Ms. Tokiwa." Masaru shook hands with Tokiwa Mio after getting off the car.

Shoichi, holding Ai's hand, said, "This is my sister, Ai Haibara."

"A very cute girl."

Tokiwa Mio squatted down and smiled at Ai.

Hello, sister.

"That's so sweet. But I'm old enough to be your aunt," Tokiwa Mio said with a smile.

"Come on, I'll take you inside the building."

As the group rode the elevator upstairs, Masakazu asked, "If I remember correctly, you and Mr. Mori were classmates, right?"

“That’s right, Kogoro is my senior, and I invited him over as well. He should be here soon,” Tokiwa Mio said.
"I heard you and your senior are very close?"

"It's alright," Zheng Yi said.

We don't seem to know each other very well; we rarely communicate.

Tokiwa Mio smiled.

It's probably not as simple as just "okay".

The group arrived at a floor filled with various computer equipment.

"This computer can predict facial expressions ten years from now. Would you like to try it?" Tokiwa Mio said as she approached a computer.

"Okay."

Zheng Yi sat down directly in the chair.

I really want something that can predict what I'll look like ten years from now.

"Mr. Yuan, could you please take care of it?"

"it is good."

Chief designer Hara Yoshiaki walked over.

Zhengyi looked at the designer wearing glasses.

Yes, he wants this person too.

"Ai, why don't you come and play too?" Zhengyi said.

"No."

Ai had no interest whatsoever.

She knows what she'll look like ten years from now; she doesn't need this kind of machine to predict it.

"Let's try it out and see if this machine is accurate." Zheng Yi got off the chair and carried Xiao Ai to another chair.

Shoichi wasn't interested in what Ai would look like ten years from now, but he was very interested in how accurate the machine was.

"Sit down."

After the two were seated, Hara Yoshiaki started up the computer.

Two photos came out quickly.

Zheng Yi took a look at Ai's photo and wanted the machine even more.

"It looks very similar."

After seeing the photo, Ai quickly hid it.

This kind of thing shouldn't appear casually; it's very dangerous, and it would be terrible if it attracted Gin.

"Come and see my photos."

Ai pouted and said, "I don't want to see your old face ten years from now, it's so ugly."

Although she said she was a little disgusted, her eyes still looked over honestly, and she even unconsciously clung to Zheng Yi's arm that was holding the photo.

"It's so ugly," Ai said.

"People who lie will lose their hair."

Ai covered her head, watching Zheng Yi warily to prevent him from pulling her hair.

He stuffed the photo into Ai's pocket so she could enjoy it at her leisure.

"Curaçao, do you want to give it a try?" Zheng Yi turned and asked.

"No," Curaçao said coldly.

Zheng Yi nodded and said softly, "Are you worried that you have no future and can't predict what you'll look like ten years from now?"

"You're really rude," Ai glared at Masahiro.

If you can't speak, you don't have to.

“Alright, let’s go upstairs,” Tokiwa Mio said.

The group arrived at the floor where the venue was being set up.

Tokiwa Mio introduced a few more people to Shoichi.

A seemingly dying congressman named Oki reeked of alcohol, causing Shoichi to instinctively cover his nose.

“Hello, you must be Mr. Shoichi. I and other members of parliament often talk about your contributions to Japan,” Oki said.

"Oh."

Masayuki nodded. He had indeed made many contributions to Japan.

Shoichi's attitude was indifferent, but Daiki's enthusiasm remained undiminished.

He complained to Tokiwa Mio, "If you had told me that Mr. Shoichi was coming too, I wouldn't have drunk so much."

This is extremely rude.

"Feel sorry."

Tokiwa Mio then said to Shoichi, "It is thanks to Representative Oki's tireless efforts that this building was completed."

Zheng Yi nodded. "While you were running around everywhere, why didn't you think of contacting my construction company?"
Was it simply because I hadn't yet entered the construction industry, or even been in Japan at that time?

It seems they don't care about me at all.

Tokiwa Mio continued, "This is Mr. Kazami Hidehiko, the chief architect of this building."

"Hello, you must be Moriya Teiji's disciple, right?" Zhengyi asked.

“That’s right,” Kazami Hidehiko said. “However, I’m different from my teacher; I won’t blow up this building.”

I actually hope you can blow it up.

Zheng Yi shook hands with him, but showed little interest in him.

There's absolutely no point in associating with such a normal person.

The only person Zheng Yi was interested in was this old man who never spoke.

"Mr. Kisaragi, I never expected to meet you here."

"I was surprised too." When Ruyue saw Zhengyi, she managed a forced smile.

Zheng Yi has a certain reputation in the art world and knows a lot of artists.

Many of Ruyue Fengshui's paintings have been collected by Zhengyi.

Moreover, unlike his student Mio Tokiwa, who sold his paintings, Masakazu simply collected and appreciated them, and did not become an art dealer.

Zheng Yi asked, "You haven't had any new paintings for a long time. I'm planning to open an art museum and I need some high-quality paintings."

Kisaragi said, "I recently have a painting of Mount Fuji, which I'll give to you. I will never paint Mount Fuji again in the future."

Tokiwa Mio exclaimed excitedly, "You've been painting Mount Fuji for thirty years, why don't you continue?"

"I don't need to tell you the reason!" Ruyue tapped his cane in dissatisfaction.

Zheng Yi stood to one side.

I got a priceless painting for free!

He clearly still prefers artists.

After waiting for a while, Kogoro Mouri led a group of people upstairs.

Ran, Conan, Sonoko, Professor Agasa, and the three little ones.

Zheng Yi gently pushed Xiao Ai.

Ai stumbled and glared at Masakazu with displeasure.

Zheng Yi gestured towards the three little ones with his lips.

That's the kind of circle you should be in at your age.

When Tokiwa Mio met her senior, she introduced the people around her to Kogoro.

Ran took the initiative to greet Tokiwa Mio on behalf of her mother.

Sonoko ran straight to Masakazu and asked, "Masakazu-nii, there's a computer downstairs that can predict what you'll look like ten years from now. Do you want to try it out?"

"Tried it."

"Can I see your photo?" Sonoko looked at Masakazu expectantly.

Zheng Yi pointed at Ai and said, "Ai insisted on taking it back to admire it slowly, so she kept it."

Ai looks up: ?
Didn't you insist on giving it to me?

"Xiao Ai, hurry up and give me Zheng Yi's photo. Good things should be shared."

Sonoko lunged directly at Ai.

"I'll give it to you, but could you please not try to take it from me?" Ai looked helplessly at Sonoko reaching into her pocket.

Students who lack a sense of boundaries.

Sonoko pulled a photo of Shoichi out of Ai's pocket. She looked at the photo and smiled in a creepy way, which made Ai feel a little scared.

"Huh? Is this a picture of you, Ai?"

Sonoko discovered that she had taken an extra photo.

"do not look!"

Sonoko stood up abruptly, leaving Ai, with her short legs, helpless.

Sonoko frowned as she looked at the photo.

Why do Ran, Ayumi, and Ai look so good ten years later, while I look like an old lady?
She tugged at her hair; it must be a problem with her hairstyle.

Conan couldn't connect with either the children or the adults, so he came to Shoichi's side.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Zhengyi, has there been any progress in the research on the antidote?"

Masaya glanced at Ai, who was playing with Sonoko.

The researchers are absent from work; progress is very bad.

“There has been significant progress,” Zheng Yi said.

"That's good."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Lately, Ran seems to be starting to doubt my identity."

"what happened?"

"It was at the diplomat's house that Ran started to suspect my identity and has tested me several times since then," Conan said with lingering fear.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been exposed long ago.

"If you need anything, I can help you with a few small things," Zheng Yi said.

"I can find someone to impersonate Shinichi Kudo, so that you and Shinichi Kudo can appear at the same time, and Ran won't suspect you."

"That's probably not very realistic," Conan said.

Xiao Lan knows him too well; the actor would definitely be recognized at a glance.

“Just ask when you need it,” Zheng Yi said.

Conan has helped him eliminate so many rivals, yet Shoichi has never paid him a single salary.

Actually, Zheng Yi felt quite guilty.

We can still offer help if we can.

Anyway, it's just asking others to help.

"I never expected to see that kind of car again."

While the group was chatting, two employees came up in the VIP sightseeing elevator and were still talking about the cars they saw.

"What was that car called again?"

"It looks like a Porsche 356A."

Upon hearing the name of the car, Conan instantly ran from Shoichi's side to the two employees and asked:
"Where did you see it? What color is the car?"

The employee was taken aback when he saw the kid suddenly appear, and honestly said:
"It was parked downstairs just now; it was a black car."

"it is good!"

Conan took the elevator directly downstairs.

Ai also heard the car.

She is more sensitive to these things than Conan is.

Ai walked up to Masakazu and tugged at his sleeve.

Masaichi stroked Ai's head and said softly, "Don't worry, maybe it was just a coincidence that we were passing by, or maybe that car didn't belong to Gin."

"If the organization takes action, I will definitely know."

Zheng Yi gently comforted Xiao Ai.

"Don't lie to me," Ai said.

"I lied to you that I was a puppy."

With Shoichi's promise, Ai's fear lessened considerably.

"That……"

“Alright, I’ll call and ask tonight to see if it’s Gin,” Masakazu said.

Xiao Ai swallowed and nodded gently, "Okay."

Masashi said to Tokiwa Mio, "Prepare two rooms for me. I'll stay here for the next couple of days."

"it is good."

Zheng Yi lowered his head and said to Ai, "I'll share a room with you tonight, and I'll protect you."

Ai silently released her grip on Shoichi's hand.

Masakazu raised his hand and flicked Ai's head.

Go sleep with Curaçao!
"By the way, Ms. Tokiwa, how's the security in the building? The security situation has been quite bad lately, and I don't want to run into any danger."

"Don't worry."

Tokiwa Mio said, "I have hired the security team from the Secom Group, so there is absolutely no need to worry about security."

"That would be best," Zheng Yi muttered to himself.
