Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 207 Zheng Yi is the man behind Conan
Shinichi Kudo had only recently recovered and was already feeling somewhat unwell.

On a morning at Teitan Junior High School, Kudo was leaning against the window getting some fresh air.

He thought to himself, "At least it's temporarily back to normal."

I wonder if those three kids, Genta and his friends, will be sad after they can't see Conan.

However, these three little devils will have to behave themselves from now on.

After that, no one would bail them out.

"Kudo-kun?"

A vibrant female voice interrupted his thoughts.

Shinichi turned around and saw Sera Masumi grinning, revealing her signature little fangs, striding towards him.

"Sera-san?" Kudo raised an eyebrow at Sera Masumi.

Zheng Yi Ge said that.

This person's identity is suspicious; he may have connections to the organization.

Sera Masumi bumped into Kudo without any hesitation.

Like an old friend, he casually asked:
"Wow, Xiaolan told me you've been busy with a big case. Has it been resolved yet?"

Kudo winced in pain.

He and Sera Masumi weren't very familiar with each other, so why was she so outgoing?
When Kudo caught Sera Masumi's gaze, he knew something was wrong.

She deliberately bumped into her wound.

Kudo casually said:
"Well, that big case has been solved, so I came back for a few days. Are we... that close?"

Sera Masumi narrowed her eyes, her smile becoming even more meaningful.

"Huh? Not familiar with each other? But I know you very well. For example..."

She suddenly leaned closer, lowered her voice, and stared sharply into his eyes.

"Kudo-kun, while you were away, there was this kid named Conan Edogawa who was very, very active."

Kudo's heart skipped a beat, but he maintained his composure perfectly.

He pushed up glasses that weren't actually there, and his hand froze for a moment.

Then it naturally turned into rubbing your eyes.

"Oh, you mean that kid who's staying at Uncle Mori's house? Ran mentioned him to me, and I heard he's a pretty smart kid."

Sera's keen eyes caught the subtle gesture of him pushing up his air glasses, and the smile on her lips deepened.

Sera Masumi said, "She's more than just smart."

His deductive style, his relentless drive to uncover the truth, and the occasional sharp glint in his eyes that seemed completely unlike that of a primary school student…

Is she that interested in Conan?
Zheng Yi is right, this person definitely has ulterior motives!
Sera Masumi said, "His method of solving cases is exactly the same as Kudo-kun's at the carnival."

Kudo chuckled twice.

He said, "Haha, really? Actually, he's a relative of mine. My dad taught both of us how to solve cases."

"So they were taught by the same teacher, no wonder they look so alike." Sera Masumi nodded.

Before Kudo could catch his breath, Sera Masumi said again:
"It's quite a coincidence. The child just left Beika Town right after you got back."

Isn't this perfect timing a bit too dramatic, detective?

She emphasized the last three words.

"Sera-kun, you seem to care a lot about that child?" Kudo asked.

Sera Masumi straightened up, put her hands behind her head, and regained a somewhat relaxed posture.

"Of course I care! Because that little guy is a pretty amazing 'magician'."

Kudo was puzzled.

How did he turn into a magician again?
It would be more fitting to give this title to Phantom Thief Kid.

"By the way, Conan, you seem to have a close relationship with Masakazu. When you came back, the first thing you did was to talk to him."

"of course."

The air solidified instantly.

Shinichi could clearly feel his own heartbeat.

Kudo said casually, "You almost fooled me. Hey, why do you keep thinking I'm Conan?"

"It was a slip of the tongue," Sera Masumi said, blinking. "Shinichi!"

When Kudo didn't know what to do, Ran came to him.

"Didn't you have something to tell me?"

“That’s right.” Kudo pushed Ran outside: “I’ll tell you outside.”

"What, you have to go outside and say it..."

……

Mary Akai had already placed a miniature suitcase by the door. Her petite frame was ramrod straight as she smoothly removed the magazine from the last pistol for inspection.

"Zhen Chun, do one last check. We can't leave any personal biometric information. Leave in ten minutes."

Sera Masumi carried her schoolbag, but did not immediately carry out the order as usual.

"Mom, wait a minute."

Mary's sharp gaze immediately swept over.

Sera Masumi took a deep breath and spoke faster.

"I have a guess about Brother Zhengyi."

Mary Akai's eyes narrowed slightly, and she stopped what she was doing, signaling for her to continue.

Sera Masumi said, "Perhaps, Masakazu-san isn't a threat to us?"

"And what about the little girl next to her?" Mary Akai asked.

The little girl had already expressed hostility towards them.

"That little girl is gone," Sera Masumi whispered.

"What do you mean?"

Sera Masumi said, "That little girl, like Conan, has disappeared."

Ai Haibara's reason for requesting leave was to go to the United States.

But whether it's going to the US, who knows?

Moreover, on her way home from school, she saw Zheng Yi having dinner with several women.

There is another woman who has the same hairstyle and hair color as Ai.

Sera Masumi said, "That little girl's hostility is because we discovered her secret, that's why she's hostile towards us."

If someone pries into your secrets, you probably won't like her very much.

Mary Akai nodded.

But these are all Sera Masumi's guesses.

Sera Masumi took a step forward and lowered her voice, saying:

"I'm almost certain that Shinichi Kudo is Conan Edogawa!"
He must have a powerful network of allies supporting him and protecting his secrets.

"You mean, his ally is Sumitomo Shoichi?" Akai Mary asked.

Sera Masumi nodded.

Mary Akai's voice was extremely cold.

"Speculation is based on another uncertain speculation. For Zhen Chun, trusting an enemy whose stance is unclear is a path to death."

She said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "We cannot place our hopes for survival on possibilities."

Sera Masumi said with a determined look in her eyes, "But this might be our chance!"
If Zheng Yi is truly a potential partner, things will go very smoothly for us in Japan.

Although those rumors about Zheng Yi Ge are not entirely true.

But this shows that Zheng Yi Ge wields enormous power in Japan.

If we could get help from Brother Zhengyi, that would be fantastic.

As you can see, Conan has been jumping around all the time without ever being noticed by the organization.

As you can see, he dared to appear in front of so many reporters as soon as he regained his identity as Shinichi Kudo.

The next day, there was no news about Shinichi Kudo in the newspapers.

Why is that?
Of course, it's because of Zheng Yi's protection.
