Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 18 was definitely done by Zheng Yi!

"Miss Lihua?"

"Miss Lihua?"

The group found Nikaido, who had drowned, before they could find Miss Reika.

Kogoro Mouri immediately called the police.

After the police were called, it was clear that these people were restless, especially Yoshii.

That was his only daughter.

The group then set off to search for Lihua.

Xiao Lan suddenly said, "Inside the villa, Mr. Zheng Yi and his secretary seem to still be sleeping. They may also be killed."

"I'll go wake them up first," Conan said.

After saying that, Conan ran to Shoichi's door and knocked loudly.

"Click~"

The bedroom door was opened, and a dark gun barrel was pressed against Conan's forehead.

Conan took a step back, his calves trembling slightly.

This feeling is like being transported back to that afternoon at the amusement park.

"I told you, let me rest properly, or I'll burn down the villa," Zheng Yi said in a low voice.

"I...I..." Conan stammered.

Zheng Yi revealed a smile that was hard to decipher.

"Oh!"

"what!"

Conan plopped down on the ground, only then realizing belatedly that the gunshot had come from Shoichi's mouth.

"Sizzle~"

Zheng Yi's gun sprayed out a jet of water, hitting Conan squarely in the crotch.

"Little kid, you're such a coward, you've already wet your pants," Zheng Yi teased.

"I didn't!" Conan said angrily.

That's the water you just sprayed!
Conan said emotionally, "Someone died in the villa. Be careful, and it's best to stay with others, otherwise you might run into danger."

Zheng Yi twirled his pistol and said nonchalantly, "I have a gun, what am I afraid of?"

“piu~”

Zheng Yi aimed at Conan and made a shooting motion.

Conan's mouth twitched.

Your gun, which only makes people wet their pants, can't threaten anyone at all.

"What you're doing is dangerous, I advise you..."

"What are you trying to tell me? Not to wet my pants?" Zheng Yi said with a smile.

hateful!

Conan gritted his teeth, thinking, "That awful guy."

Shoichi chased Conan away.

Hopefully, the murderer won't come looking for him, otherwise Zheng Yi will have no choice but to act in self-defense.

His pistol was always fully loaded with bullets.

Zheng Yi continued to lie in bed and sleep, but after waiting for a long time, he neither saw the murderer nor the little girl who came to bring warmth.

But then Inspector Megure arrived.

"Mr. Zhengyi, two very heinous murders have occurred in the villa. Please come down to cooperate with our investigation," Inspector Megure said meticulously.

"understood."

Zheng Yi put on his clothes and went downstairs somewhat impatiently.

When I went downstairs, I found that everyone seemed to be waiting for me.

"Has someone died again? It's making it impossible to get a good night's sleep." Zheng Yi yawned, sat on the sofa, and ignored everyone around him.

"I suspect the murderer is Sumitomo Shoichi!"

Kogoro Mouri fired the first shot, aiming the cannon directly at Shoichi.

Zheng Yi took a sip of tea, without even considering making an explanation.

"The tea is quite good this time." After putting down his teacup, he crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa to watch the show.

Kogoro Mouri began his extraordinary deduction.

"Mr. Yoshii owes Masakazu a sum of money, so Masakazu has a good reason to kill Miss Reika! Moreover, he stayed in his room the whole time, giving him ample opportunity to commit the murder."

I even had Conan call him again. Knowing there was a murderer inside the villa, his refusal to come out clearly meant he was destroying evidence of his crime.

Masashi said to Kogoro, "Mr. Mori, you need evidence to support your claims. If you don't have evidence, I will hire lawyer Eri Kisaki to sue you for defamation."

"You bastard!" Kogoro Mouri was getting angry.

Hiring my wife to sue me? That's outrageous!

Yoshii was even angrier than Kogoro Mouri.

He ran over and grabbed Zheng Yi by the collar, saying, "It's you, right? It must be you, right?"

“Although you are in pain because you lost your only daughter, you still have debts to keep you company. You are not alone, so don’t be so sad,” Zheng Yi comforted him.

She didn't mind his rudeness and even kindly comforted him.

Zheng Yi felt he was very dignified.

“You said that if you don’t pay your debts, you’ll be punished. You must have killed Lihua! It must have been you!” Yoshii held onto Zhengyi tightly.

"Mr. Yotsuji, please calm down."

Kogoro and Inspector Megure came over and pulled Yoshii away.

Inspector Megure said, "We haven't identified the real culprit yet. Even if we do find the culprit, the police will enforce the law strictly."

Mr. Shoichi has no connection to the deceased, Nikaido, so the probability of him being the murderer is very small.

“Yes, Mr. Yoshii, please calm down,” Kogoro said.

Yoshii regained some clarity of mind, but seeing Shoichi's fearless expression, his emotions returned to their previous agitation.

“You police wouldn’t dare offend the Sumitomo conglomerate! Even if the murderer really is Masakazu, you’ll still protect him!” Yotsuki said.

"Preliminary investigation indicates that the deceased died by suicide."

It was the same forensic doctor as last time, who quickly gave the results, still following closely behind Sijinghua.

Inspector Megure's face was dark, Kogoro Mouri's brain was about to explode, and Yoshii was pale.

Zheng Yi took a sip of tea.

He clearly didn't kill the person, so why are these people insisting on portraying him as the mastermind behind it all?

That doesn't make sense.

“Now that the forensic doctor has confirmed it was suicide, can we leave?” Zheng Yi said.

But it doesn’t matter.

He never cared about misunderstandings about him by irrelevant people.

"Can't!"

Kogoro Mori glared angrily at Shoichi.

Too arrogant.

He had been a policeman and a detective, but he had never seen such a dark moment.

The police's forensic doctor described a 100% homicide as suicide, which is utterly immoral, irresponsible, and without any moral bottom line.

"How can a forensic doctor like you, who talks nonsense like this, still be in the police system?" Kogoro yelled at the forensic doctor.

The forensic doctor adjusted his glasses, his meaning clear without a word.

As a forensic doctor lacking professional skills, the reason I can firmly occupy this position is, of course, because I can talk.

Akemi Miyano's deep eyes gazed intently at Masakazu.

Could this guy really be the murderer who killed Yotsuki's daughter?
Is it just because Yoshii owes money and doesn't pay it back, and you want to teach him a lesson?

This is too cruel.

Akemi Miyano gritted her teeth.

The thought of my younger sister possibly being in the hands of such a cruel person is unbearable; I can't even imagine how she must have survived.

"I will definitely catch you red-handed for murder!" Kogoro Mori glared fiercely at Masahiro.

Then, in the blink of an eye...

Kogoro took a graceful dance step and then sat down next to Shoichi.
