Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 192 Ai, I've avenged your sister.

"Ai, I've avenged your sister."

"Ok?"

Ai rubbed her eyes.

Zhengyi didn't come home all night last night. She only came back this morning when she was about to go to school. The first thing she said when she got back was to avenge my sister.
Ai looked at Shoichi and whispered:

"My sister, it seems, is not dead."

Your talk of revenge is very absurd.

“She’s dead. Your sister is dead,” Zheng Yi said.

"Yes, he's dead."

Ai looked at Curaçao and nodded.

In the organization's eyes, my sister was indeed dead.

Curaçao pursed her lips.

Is it necessary to hide these things from me?

Is there anything between you that I don't know?
He handed Ai a newspaper he had bought on the roadside.

“I killed Shuichi Akai,” Masakazu said.

"Ok?"

Ai stared blankly at the newspaper. "You killed Shuichi Akai?"

Shoichi stroked Ai's head and said, "Shuichi Akai deceived your sister's feelings in order to join the organization."

This caused the organization to lose faith in your sister and kill her.

Now that I've killed Shuichi Akai, I've avenged you a little.

"Oh." Ai nodded.

You killed my sister.

So, when you die of old age, wouldn't that count as a great revenge for me?
"Did you really kill Shuichi Akai?" Ai asked.

“Of course it’s true,” Zheng Yi said matter-of-factly.

Ai shook her head.

That's hard to believe.

Saying my sister is dead is a lie. But behind a lie, is there really a truth?

"Fine, you can ask for a day off for me today," Ai said. "Oh, and I'll ask for a day off for my sister too."

After saying that, Ai put her little backpack on the sofa and ran to the next room with her short legs.

They blocked Miyano Akemi's way to work and pushed her back into the villa.

"what are you doing?"

"I've asked for a day off for you," Ai said, closing the door behind her.

Ai pushed Akemi down onto the sofa.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out; he seemed very awkward.

"What's wrong with you?" Akemi asked with a smile, patting Ai's head.

"Sister, do you still have feelings for Shuichi Akai?"

"Why are you asking this?" Mingmei asked.

Akemi took a newspaper out of the cabinet and said to Ai, "You didn't see this news, did you?"

"Did you see it too?"

“Of course,” Mingmei said. “I also have the habit of subscribing to newspapers.”

Ai carefully observed her sister's expression.

Mingmei seemed to be in a normal state; she wasn't particularly sad, nor did she appear to be looking for Zhengyi to duel.

Akemi gently patted Ai's head.

"Everything in the newspapers is fake."

At least the news in the Justice Daily is all fake.

Furthermore, since it's connected to Zheng Yi, it's even less likely to be true.

“I have a feeling that the Great Khan is not dead,” Mingmei said.

"Why do you feel that way?" Ai asked.

When she first heard the news of her sister's death, she was truly devastated and felt like she was going to die.

If it weren't for the side effects of APTX-4869 that turned her into a child, she would have really died.

It's all a woman's sixth sense, so why is mine inaccurate?

"I'm just glad you're not too sad," Ai said. She took her bag off her shoulder and said, "Since you're in such a good mood, let's go out and have some fun."

She's received her salary; it's time to spend it.

As for paying off the debt, there's no rush.

Zheng Yi, that bastard, said she owes so much money and has no desire to pay it back at all.

Let's just default on the debt.

Akemi said gently, "But Masaichi said that you should work in the lab."

"I'm not going!" Ai said, bristling.

I'm not taking leave from school to go to work.

"Zhengyi said that your colleague seems to have made some progress on the antidote," Mingmei said.
"The antidote is still very important. If you can recover to your adult form sooner, you won't be in such an inconvenient situation anymore."

After saying that, he showed Ai the email that Zheng Yi had sent.

To be honest, she still really liked how her younger sister looked when she was little; she was cute and funny.

Even a casual tease can elicit a very interesting expression on his face.

"I'm not going!" Ai said stubbornly.

We've already agreed to take leave to research the antidote, so a day or two won't make a difference.

Ai snatched Akemi's phone and then turned it off.

Going to work is out of the question.

We're going to play today.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

After Miyano Akemi's phone was turned off, Ai's phone rang.

Without even looking, Ai closed her eyes and put the phone away.

She will absolutely not look at any news about Zheng Yi today.

……

"The organization acted very quickly."

“It’s already much slower than I expected,” Shuichi Akai said.

He's been working for a month already, and the organization's staff are only just getting started; it's already very slow.

“The organization blew up the police car, which saved us a lot of trouble,” Judy said.

Although the dead man's face was disguised, it looked very much like Shuichi Akai.

But it would probably be difficult to fool Zhengyi.

We still need to get the police to remove the body as soon as possible, otherwise the loopholes will become much bigger.

Shuichi Akai said, "Now, I can go into the shadows."

At this moment, Shuichi Akai thought of the IOU that Shoichi had given him.

If the IOU disappears, does that mean his sister doesn't have to pay back the money she owes Zheng Yi?
Will she leave Japan?

Judy said, "Now you can familiarize yourself with that person's behavior and habits so you can take his place and continue investigating the organization."

“I know,” Shuichi Akai said.

However, before that, he was still very worried about Sera Masumi.

If Masaya is very suspicious of his death, then he will definitely increase the surveillance on Sera Masumi.

In fact, to verify whether he was dead, she would even attack Sera Masumi.

Should he show up if Zheng Yi makes a move?

"What are you thinking about?" Judy asked.

"It's nothing, just some random stuff," Shuichi Akai said.

Seeing Judy's confusion, Shuichi Akai asked, "Are the police reliable?"

Judy said:

“That Sato doesn’t seem to like Shoichi very much, so it’s unlikely he’d betray us. As for Takagi, he seems like a fairly upright police officer.”

Only Inspector Megure's situation is more complicated.

She wasn't entirely sure about Inspector Megure's stance either.

He used to be Zheng Yi's personal police officer, and in every case he handled, Zheng Yi was always the innocent one.

Almost everyone believes he is a corrupt cop.

But then he seemed to start criticizing Zheng Yi and Zheng Yi's detective work, probably because he had a falling out with Zheng Yi.

"That's good." Akai Shuichi nodded.
