Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 200 There's a mole, stop moving.
The performance began soon after.

Shoichi and Ai, dressed as Conan, sat in the front row, while Sera Masumi sat next to Shoichi.

When Xiaolan was performing on stage.

Sera Masumi said to Masakazu, "Masakazu-nii, I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

Ai also leaned her ear closer.

Sera Masumi is a very problematic person.

Ai vaguely suspects that her younger sister is someone who, like her, shrunk after taking APTX-4869.

"Don't you really feel that Ai is different from other children?" Sera Masumi asked.

"No," Masakazu said. "Ai is a very cute child."

Zheng Yi leaned forward, blocking Ai's view.

Ai pouted.

Don't think that just because you say a few nice words to me, I will forgive your earlier offense.

You're the disgusting one.

Sera Masumi leaned forward slightly, lowered her voice, and her expression became somewhat serious.

"Ai, you seem a little too smart."

Zheng was stunned for a moment, then a proud smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, Ai is very smart, sometimes even I am ashamed of myself. She has helped me a lot."

Zheng Yi looked very proud, as if he were showing off his own child.

A meaningful smile appeared on Sera's lips.

"It's more than just being smart... Masakazu, do you think Ai has ever lied to you?"

Ai's eyes narrowed.

Do you speak ill of me to my face?

Zheng Yi slightly suppressed his smile, but his tone remained gentle.

"Well... it's forgivable for children to lie, as long as it's not too outrageous."

Shoichi seems to be particularly lenient towards Ai.

Ai pouted next to Masakazu.

Don't think I don't know; everything you're saying now is a lie.

Sera stared into Masakazu's eyes, lowering her voice to a whisper, carrying a hint of warning.

"Brother Zhengyi, you are a very good person. However, sometimes being too kind can make you miss some things."

Ai rolled her eyes at these words.

Sometimes, even overly intelligent people can't see things clearly.

Like Conan, Sera Masumi has great faith in her own deductions, and so...

Everyone believed that Zheng Yi was an innocent and good person.

He is also a good person who is often misunderstood by others.

Zheng Yi's expression turned serious.

"Sera-kun, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Sera Masumi said, "I mean, Ai isn't your biological sister, is she? She's probably getting close to you for a reason, isn't she?"

She spoke with great restraint, but she emphasized the word 'purpose,' making it highly suggestive.

Zheng Yi remained silent for a few seconds, without directly answering Sera's question.

Instead, he spoke slowly, in a very firm tone:

"I don't know what Ai has been through in the past."

That child does keep many things to herself, but I believe in her.

Sera Masumi felt a headache coming on and wanted to scratch her head.

You shouldn't trust her so much.

This will lead to a major disaster.

Sera Masumi was even considering telling Masakazu directly about the fact that someone could turn into a child.

Let's see if Zheng Yi will suspect Xiao Ai after he finds out about this.

Shoichi continued, "Ai is my family now, so please don't speak ill of her in front of me."

Sera Masumi was stunned.

She never expected that Masakazu would trust and treat Ai so well.

She took a soft breath and regained some of her usual smile.

"Is that so... Brother Zhengyi, you really are a... very good person."

She couldn't think of any words to describe Zheng Yi Ge.

Sera Masumi said softly, "I just wanted to say that I never bullied Ai."

Zheng Yi said, "Yes, I believe you too."

"Perhaps Ai didn't understand your enthusiasm and mistakenly took it as bullying." Sera Masumi nodded.

It seems like Zheng Yi Ge is beyond saving.

She looked at Zheng Yi and said, "I don't want your money, but I've decided to transfer schools."

Problems arose when they were testing Ai.

Furthermore, Zheng Yi trusts Ai so much that it's as if he's being controlled by her.

Sera Masumi and Akai Mary decided to move out.

At the very least, they must not have any contact with Shoichi and Ai anymore.

Safety is the most important thing.

"actually……"

Just as Zheng Yi was about to speak, someone pinched his left side.

He turned around and saw Ai looking at him with her eyes narrowed.

Ai showed off her little tiger teeth.

What exactly did you do to Sera Masumi? And what did you say to me?
How did you resolve the issue of Sera Masumi?
Zheng Yi flicked Ai's forehead, signaling her to behave.

If you try to imitate Conan like that, you'll be exposed in no time.

The performance on stage continues.

The masked knight defeated the bandits and rescued Xiaolan.

The plot reached its climax with a kissing scene.

"what!"

A scream drew everyone's attention from the stage to the audience.

A man lay on the ground, his eyes wide open in death.

Next to him was an empty beverage cup.

Police arrived at the scene quickly.

"The deceased was Mr. Putian, who worked at Mikasa General Hospital. He was 27 years old this year."

Inspector Megure asked, "How did he suddenly collapse to the ground?"

"I thought he was just feeling a little unwell, but then he suddenly collapsed to the ground," said the deceased's companion.

Officer Megure nodded.

He scanned the scene and spotted many familiar faces.

I actually saw that guy Zhengyi.

Inspector Megure gritted his teeth.

This school fair is organized by the school where Zhengyi's younger sister goes, right?

Is this guy going to kill someone at his own sister's school?

"Chōsō, check the drink for poison," Inspector Megure ordered.

"Yes." Choso nodded and took out a beverage cup.

Potassium hydrochloride.

The masked knight said, "Normally, people lose their color after they die, but this fellow..."

The lips and nails did not turn purple; instead, they appeared pink.

This is evidence of potassium hydrochloride poisoning.

The knight continued, "Unlike other poisons, potassium cyanide poisoning causes the electron transport system in the cells to start working."

It can circulate throughout the body without using oxygen from the blood, thus improving complexion.

Inspector Megure looked pleasantly surprised.

He knows so much, and his analysis is so logical and insightful.

A wild detective?
"Who exactly are you?" Inspector Megure asked.

The knight removed his mask.

The moment he took off his mask, Ran instinctively looked towards where Ai was.

"Kudo Shinichi?"

“That’s right, it’s me,” Shinichi Kudo said.

When Sera Masumi saw Shinichi Kudo, her first reaction was to look at Conan next to him.

What's happening here?
She took out her phone and awkwardly sent an email.

[Shinichi Kudo has appeared. Don't move yet; the antidote might really exist. —Sera]

Sera Masumi looked at Ai again.

Things are a bit uncertain now.

Could it be that Conan isn't Shinichi Kudo?

Or perhaps, one of these two people is an imposter?
