Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 191: He died just as I was about to contact Xiuyi?
"The rye is dead?"

"Yes."

"How did you die?"

"do not know."

"do not know?"

“Yes,” Vermouth said with a smile.

Amuro Tooru silently watched Vermouth, the hem of his black trench coat billowing in the wind, swaying half a circle more than usual.

Vermouth said, "You're quite persistent about him too. Aren't you happy to hear this news?"

"I just didn't expect him to die so easily," Amuro Tooru said.

“Indeed.” Vermouth nodded. “But he is indeed dead.”

"Who killed him?" Amuro Tooru asked.

"I already said I don't know."

Vermouth said, "The police haven't figured it out yet, but there are two suspects."

"Who?"

Vermouth took out two photos.

One is Zheng Yi, and the other is Dong Ya.

Amuro Tooru's eyes flickered.

Toru Amuro knows Touya, a well-known rock singer in Japan.

Amuro Tooru did not believe that an ordinary rock singer could kill Akai Shuichi.

"This rock singer isn't going to become an employee of Shoichi, is he?" Amuro Tooru asked.

“Who knows?” Vermouth said.

Vermouth opened the door of the red sports car and said to Amuro Tooru:
"I've already told you the good news, I should go now."

After getting into the car, Vermouth rolled down the window and continued, "By the way, be careful next time."

I don't want to suddenly hear the news of your death one day.

After saying that, Amuro Tooru watched the red sports car get further and further away.

Amuro Tooru pondered carefully what Vermouth's words meant.

Will he be killed like Shuichi Akai?

"How could he have died?" Amuro Tooru muttered to himself.

He was just about to contact Shuichi Akai and use the FBI's resources to deal with Shoichi together.

The letters he sent to Hideaki Akai's family should still be in his mailbox.

But now, Shuichi Akai is dead.

"If he dies like this, it will be even more difficult to deal with Zheng Yi and the organization."

He desperately wanted to avenge Hikaru, but he never expected Shuichi Akai to die so suddenly.

Where did Shuichi Akai die? Where is his body? —Bourbon

[Read tomorrow morning's newspaper. — Vermouth]

I don't think he'll die so easily. I'd like to investigate. Shall we cooperate?

If we can find out he's not dead, that would be a great achievement. —Bourbon

No, I don't want to get involved in this. — Vermouth

After Vermouth refused, Amuro Tooru approached Gin.

Gin was more convinced than Vermouth; he said that Shuichi Akai was definitely dead and didn't believe the nonsense about 'Rye faking his death'.

Amuro Tooru frowned.

Gin's attitude was very firm. Did he witness Shuichi Akai's death with his own eyes?
But when Amuro Tooru continued to ask, Gin did not respond.

Amuro Tooru put away his phone.

He didn't believe that Shuichi Akai was dead.

He tightened his trench coat.

But he really should be more careful. Vermouth's reminder led Amuro Tooru to suspect that Akai Shuichi's death was related to Shoichi.

After all, Shuichi Akai joined Shoichi's company, so he must be investigating Shoichi.

"Shoichi, that guy, he's quick to act," Amuro Tooru whispered.

He plotted murder in just one month.

"What are you doing in such a hurry now? Why aren't you at school yet?"

"Something big has happened!"

Sera Masumi ran into Akai Mary's house with a newspaper in her hand.

After reading the newspaper, Mary Akai merely frowned slightly, without much reaction.

"What do you think?" Mary Akai asked.

“I don’t believe he’s dead,” Sera Masumi said.

The newspaper featured a photo of Shuichi Akai and reported that he was killed by terrorists after killing Ms. Su Fang.

"Why did he go to Sumitomo Shoichi's company as a bodyguard under the alias Moroboshi Dai?" Mary Akai asked.

"Perhaps it's to protect Brother Zhengyi?"

Have you lost your mind?

Mary Akai jumped up and tapped Sera Masumi on the head.

Sera Masumi rubbed her head and whispered, "They might suspect that the company that Masakazu is affiliated with might be connected to the organization."

Or perhaps, someone from the organization infiltrated the company.

“Looks like you haven’t gone mad yet,” Mary Akai said.

Sera Masumi sniffed. How could she possibly be stupid?
Mary Akai said, "Since Shuichi thinks Shoichi is the problem, you shouldn't believe he's innocent either."

Sera Masumi scratched her head.

This is not the same thing, okay?

Even if Zheng Yi Ge has connections with the organization, you can't pin the blame for those previous cases on him.

“Be careful when you meet him in the future,” Akai Mary said.

"Understood." Sera Masumi nodded.

If Zheng Yi is really connected to the organization, then we can't invite him to our house.

Sera Masumi said, "But Conan seems to have a very good relationship with Masakazu."

If Zheng Yi is a member of the organization, then wouldn't Conan have been exposed long ago?

They first noticed Conan's unusual behavior because of the photo that Masakazu had left behind.

Mary Akai remained silent.

If Shoichi were a normal human being, he would probably be able to notice Conan's unusual behavior.

Moreover, he still has connections with the organization and might know about the drug's side effects.

“I feel that Japan is still too dangerous,” Akai Mary said.

Who knows, Conan might be exposed one day.

After Conan got into trouble, she felt that it was only a matter of time before she was discovered.

“We can’t just leave Japan, can we?” Sera Masumi said. “We still can’t be sure whether Masakazu is connected to the organization.”

Perhaps there are other reasons why my brother joined Zheng Yi's company.

“I hope so,” Mary Akai said.

We can only hope that Zheng Yi isn't a member of the organization, but just a simple bad guy.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The knocking on the door made Sera Masumi freeze.

She glanced at Mary Akai, and after Mary Akai nodded, she walked towards the door.

"Who?"

After waiting a few seconds, there was still no response from outside the door, and the knocking did not start again, as if the person who had knocked earlier had already left.

A few more seconds passed.

Sera Masumi carefully opened the door and found a letter near the entrance.

She glanced around the corridor and suspiciously took the letter into the house.

"Only one letter was left."

"What did the letter say?" Mary Akai asked.

Sera Masumi opened the envelope and was stunned when she saw the words on it.

"What's written on it?"

Seeing her daughter's strange expression, Mary Akai took the letter. It contained only four words:
Beware of Zheng Yi!
