Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 190 Zheng Yi: I'm threatening the police, I don't have time to kill anyone.

Seeing the flames in front of the villa, Gin stubbed out his cigarette and put down his binoculars.

His eyes narrowed, as if he wasn't quite sure.

Shuichi Akai was dealt with just like that?
That troublesome opponent from back then, could he really be killed so easily?

[Confirm that the person in the car is indeed Shuichi Akai. —Gin]

After sending this email.

Gin took out his binoculars and continued to watch the activity outside the villa.

……

Looking at the firelight, Zheng Yi realized that Sato had already grabbed his wrist.

He struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free.

Sato held on very tightly.

"what are you doing?"

“What did you do?” Sato asked.

"Go put out the fire quickly!"

Inspector Megure immediately directed officers to begin firefighting efforts.

During the firefighting process, the officers also had to be careful of secondary explosions, so they were very cautious.

After extinguishing the fire, the police officers carefully carried the body out of the car.

The charred corpse lay straight on the ground, and the smell it emitted made the surrounding police officers cover their noses.

Inspector Megure frowned as he looked at the corpse on the ground, then glanced at Sato and Takagi.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi called them away, otherwise they would have been in serious trouble.

"Takagi, secure the scene and find the person who planted the bomb in the car."

“Yes!” Takagi replied.

He directed the other officers to establish a perimeter.

He kept a wary eye on the surrounding guests, especially Zheng Yi's bodyguards.

Then they began questioning the people there.

But these inquiries won't solve anything.

Sato looked at Masakazu and said, "Did you do this?"

"Officer Sato, what you're saying makes no sense," Masakazu said.

"You previously accused me of protecting Moroboshi Dai, so why are you now saying that I killed him?"

Is everything my fault?
It's like I have two personalities; I have to protect people, but I also have to kill them.

Zheng Yi waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Besides, I don't know which police car the Moroboshi Conference was taken to."

"So, it's actually you and Takagi who are more suspicious."

After all, it was you who took Dai Moroboshi onto that car with the bomb.

"Officer Megure!"

While Shoichi and Sato were talking, Takagi walked up to Inspector Megure with a grim expression and said:
“All the other police cars were also loaded with bombs.”

"What!?"

Inspector Megure looked terrified.

All the police cars have bombs on them, what are they trying to do!
Are we going to round up all the police officers here?

This is no ordinary terrorist!

Inspector Megure broke out in a cold sweat; his entire police force had nearly died.

Conan frowned deeply and jogged over to check on the police car, but Ran, quick as a flash, grabbed him and lifted him up.

"It's dangerous there, don't go there." Ran glared at Conan with displeasure.

There are lots of bombs there, what are you going there for?
Inspector Megure had already ordered his officers to stay away from the police cars; he dared not sit in them again under any circumstances.

Inspector Megure wiped the cold sweat from his brow.

Then Sato asked Shoichi, "Was it because you were worried that Moroboshi Dai would go to the police station and say something detrimental to you that you killed him?"

"What could he possibly say that would be detrimental to me?" Zheng Yi said.

"Officer Sato, even if you like to assume the worst about me, you should still follow logic."

He had only been with the company for less than two months and I had never even met him.

Even if it involved something illegal, I wouldn't order him to do it.

Sato didn't want to believe Shoichi's words. Inspector Megure didn't want to believe them either.

Of all the people present, apart from Zheng Yi, no one had any motive.

Assaulting the police is a serious crime; who would dare to do such a thing?

"Inspector Megure, the culprit might be the real killer who murdered Ms. Su Fang," Conan said.
"Now that Moroboshi Dai is dead, the blame for killing Ms. Su Fang can be placed on Moroboshi Dai."

Blaming the dead is the most common thing to do.

It's simple and easy to understand, especially since Moroboshi Dai doesn't have any relatives or friends in Japan, so no one will cause trouble for him.

“You have a point, but the police have their own ideas,” Inspector Megure said coldly.

Conan is just a kid, what does he know about solving cases?

What do you know about the Zhengyi (正一) system?

Inspector Megure said to Shoichi with a cold face, "Now, you are a prime suspect."

Zheng Yi said innocently:
"I was just threatening the police, how could I have time to plant a bomb and kill people?"

Sato's lips twitched.

You certainly speak your mind.

“You don’t have time, but your bodyguards have plenty of time,” Sato said.

Zheng Yi spread his hands out.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
"Didn't your police leave anyone to watch the police cars?" Zheng Yi asked.

Sato shook his head.

Then Zheng Yi had no way to deal with it.

Without police officers watching over them, how could they possibly see someone planting a bomb in a car?

Zheng Yi said, "You don't even know when the bomb in your car was planted."

He gently nudged Sato's arm and walked past her.

"Don't accuse me of things without evidence. I still need to make sure my employee isn't completely dead," Zheng Yi said.

Sato looked at Masakazu helplessly.

Instead of chasing after Masaichi, Inspector Megure made a phone call to summon a bomb disposal expert from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Shoichi walked up to Chosokabe and asked, "Was it Moroboshi Daihito who died?"

Hearing Zheng Yi's question.

Changzong immediately stood up and said, "The burns are too severe. They're charred, the fingerprints have disappeared, and you can't even see them on the face."

"Ah."

Zheng Yi nodded and then asked, "Can you tell whether he died recently or has been dead for some time?"

“Um, I need time,” Choso said.

"continue."

"Yes!"

Zheng Yi called over a bodyguard and said to him:

"Check if anyone is hiding inside the villa."

"Yes!"

Sato approached Masakazu, frowning as he asked, "What do you mean? You suspect the person in the car isn't Moroboshi Dai?"

"I practically dragged him out here with me and Takagi."

“I have no doubt about that,” Zheng Yi said with a smile. “I’m just worried that the terrorists who planted the bomb might be hiding inside the villa.”

Sato gave a cold "humph".

After dealing with Sato, the bodyguards stormed into the villa.

While the police and bodyguards were busy, Zheng Yi replied to the email.

[He's completely dead. Remember to transfer the event funds to my account. I took a lot of risks and spent a lot of money this time. — Jun Du]

I know. —Gin

Just as he was putting his phone away, he saw that the bomb disposal experts from the Metropolitan Police Department had arrived and were carefully defusing the bomb.

Zhengyi glanced at his watch, yawned, and then went back into the villa.

I'm sleepy, time to go to sleep.
