Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 214 The Despicable Gin

"Thank you, Mr. Mori."

"You are welcome."

Kogoro weighed the envelope, unable to stop smiling.

We're rich! We're rich!

Another big client! Time to go to the bar for drinks again.

"Conan brat!"

"What's wrong, uncle?"

After being lifted up by Kogoro, Conan looked at Kogoro with a blank expression.

Has he done anything out of line lately?
Could it be that the uncle has finally grown a brain and is starting to doubt his sleep quality?
"You and that guy Shoichi Sumitomo are pretty close, right?" Kogoro asked.

Conan nodded.

Kogoro said, "Then you should quickly go and remind this guy that his employee is a criminal, and tell him to call the police immediately."

"Huh?" Conan scratched his head in confusion.

Zheng Yi Ge has many employees.

"Which one exactly?" Conan asked.

Kogoro said, "It's the male lead who starred in 'Orphan,' a criminal who robbed a bank."

Someone hired me to investigate evidence of his crimes.

Conan was immediately suspicious.

Without my help, can Uncle Mori really find evidence of that person's crime?

"Did you hear that?!" Kogoro smacked Conan on the head.

“I heard you,” Conan said.

He put down his schoolbag and ran towards Zheng's house.

Kogoro eagerly tore open the envelope and counted the banknotes inside one by one.

I really hope there will be more big clients like this.

"Ding dong~"

"Conan?"

"Brother Zhengyi".

Masakazu said, "Are you still here because of Sera Masumi? I've already had someone monitoring her."

If anything seems amiss with her, I'll know immediately.

A few days ago, Conan found Shoichi and said that Sera Masumi had slipped him a note saying that she already knew he was Shinichi Kudo.

Zheng Yi said, "She seems harmless at the moment and shouldn't be a member of the organization."

But her purpose is still unknown.

Conan nodded.

He said, "But I'm not here today because of that, it's because..."

"Beep, beep, beep~"

“Sorry, it’s Inspector Megure on the phone,” Shoichi said. “He may have something important to say.”

"Hey?"

"Hello, this is Inspector Megure."

"Hello."

Inspector Megure said very seriously, "Your artist, Hisashi Taniguchi, has been arrested by the police for his involvement in violent crimes such as bank and jewelry store robberies. The evidence is conclusive."

"what?"

Inspector Megure continued, "Currently, the police hope that the movie he is starring in, 'Orphan,' will be taken off the air."

"Of course, of course." Masaya glanced at Conan and said indignantly:
"Of course we must boycott such artists with bad records, and we have zero tolerance for illegal and criminal activities."

Zheng Yi was somewhat surprised.

The police's speed is really strange.

That guy had been living a carefree life for so long, how come he was caught as soon as the movie was released?

Zheng Yi's first thought was that his competitors were fighting evil and promoting good.

Zheng Yi asked, "May I ask if I may? Has someone reported Taniguchi Hisahito?"
I want to thank this kind person for removing a cancer from my company.

Inspector Megure of the Metropolitan Police Department frowned.

Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
You definitely don't mean to thank them.

Inspector Megure said, "Someone anonymously reported that Taniguchi Hisahito's crimes and the evidence against him were anonymously handed over to the police."

I advise you not to investigate further. The person who reported him anonymously is trying to prevent retaliation from his accomplices.

"I understand." Zheng Yi nodded.

Don't think I don't know.

The accomplice you're talking about is definitely me.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Conan with a calm expression and asked, "You came to see me?" "It's also because of this matter."

Conan said, "Someone asked Uncle Mori to investigate Taniguchi Hisako's case. After Uncle Mori found out that this guy had problems, he asked me to come and inform Masakazu to call the police."

Zheng nodded.

Did his business partner commission Kogoro to conduct the investigation?
Zhengyi wrote down a few names on a piece of paper, along with some basic information about them, and then handed it to Conan.

“I’ll also ask Detective Mori to investigate these people,” Masakazu said.

Should I report it?
These competitors are so despicable.

Zheng Yi simply didn't believe that the people in their company could really withstand scrutiny.

Since you've shown no martial ethics first, don't blame me!
"Uh, no problem." Conan nodded blankly.

I vaguely sensed something.

Is Brother Zheng Yi about to retaliate?

But Conan didn't think much of it.

Anyway, it won't cause any bad impact. If these people really don't abide by the law, it's a good thing they get arrested.

This can be considered a way to purify the social environment.

Moreover, since the investigation was entrusted to me, there's no chance of any despicable tactics like framing someone.

"By the way, Masakazu, do you live alone? Where's Ai?" Conan asked.

"I'm off to work," Zheng Yi said.

"Tutoring classes?"

Zheng Yi did not reply.

Conan shrank his neck.

Shouldn't high school be a relaxed and happy time? Why do we have to attend tutoring classes?

Zheng Yi's parenting style is too cruel.

"Then, Brother Zhengyi, I'll head back now," Conan said.

"Ah."

Zheng nodded.

After Conan left, Shoichi made a phone call and asked someone to cancel the screening of the movie.

They lost a lot of money at the box office.

These losses need to be compensated to me by my competitors.

"Di Di~"

The boring charade is over. —Gin

Zheng Yi looked at his phone and tugged at his mustache.

Sending this kind of email at this time.

Did you report it to the police? — Jun Du

[I just want to end this pointless farce as soon as possible. —Gin]

[Despicable. — Coindus]

He considered that Gin might have the actor die in public, or he might have died quietly at home.

Or perhaps Gin simply doesn't care about him, a nobody.

Even after racking his brains, Masakazu never imagined that Gin would call the police.

and,

He still entrusted the investigation of criminal evidence to a detective.

Gin sneered from inside the Porsche.

mean?

I'm not as despicable as you.

Zheng Yi threw his phone away, cursing Gin in his heart for being so despicable.

This guy actually called the police.

The crime you committed is far more serious than that guy's.

If he finds out who reported him, I wonder if he might be wrongly accused and die.

Gin's methods are truly despicable.

It also caused Zheng Yi to misunderstand his competitors and start doing some bad things to them.

"Gin is so wicked," Shoichi muttered to himself.

What has already been done cannot be stopped.

Such a large group can't just stop operating once it starts moving; it can only make things difficult for its competitors.

It's all Gin's fault.
