Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

"What did you say!"

Inspector Nakamori slammed his hand on the table, his face filled with disbelief.

"The prisoner died in his office before the police summoned him."

The police officer on the other end of the phone repeated the previous message.

Officer Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief.

The way he looked at Zheng Yi was filled with an inexplicable feeling.

Zhengyi knew what he was suspicious of.

So he spread his hands.

"You're not doubting me, are you? If I wanted to kill him, why would I call the police?"

Zheng Yi looked completely innocent.

"Of course not," Officer Nakamori said insincerely.

Of course, he couldn't admit it to Zheng Yi's face.

He embezzled your company's property, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to kill him.

Moreover, Zheng Yi just showed his disgust for that person.

He had the motive to kill, and he also had the ability to kill.

Zheng Yi said, "If I wanted to kill someone, I could do it silently."

"Throw him into the sea, who knows if he'll live or die? Why let him die in the company office?"

“I don’t know,” Officer Nakamori said expressionlessly.

He opened the half-open door completely and said to Zheng Yi:

“Mr. Shoichi, since a murder has occurred, this falls under the jurisdiction of the Second Investigation Division.”

Nakamori gave a stiff smile and said, "I'll take you to Inspector Megure."

In the office of the Second Investigation Division.

Inspector Megure had just made himself a cup of coffee.

It's so nice not having to deal with Zheng Yi.

Inspector Megure picked up the newspaper on the table and started reading.

I wonder what tomorrow's newspaper will contain, and whether I'll see my colleague's name in it.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Inspector Megure put down the newspaper, picked up the documents on the table, and said:
"Please come in."

"Inspector Megure!"

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Seeing his colleague approaching, and with the ball that had been kicked away coming towards him, Inspector Megure immediately stood up.

I just delivered Zheng Yi there, why did you bring him back?

Inspector Megure, trying to appear calm, said, "Brother Nakamori, aren't economic criminals under the jurisdiction of your Second Investigation Division?"

Why did you bring Mr. Zhengyi here again?

Inspector Nakamori said with a smile, "Economic crimes are of course under the jurisdiction of our Second Investigation Division, but this is a murder case. The criminal was killed."

"what!"

Inspector Megure stared at Inspector Nakamori in disbelief.

In order to get Zheng Yi back on track, you actually killed the prisoner?
Pah!
"What exactly happened?" Inspector Megure asked.

Officer Nakamori said, "When our officers went to summon the suspect, they found him dead in his office."

Economic crimes are often intertwined with violent crimes.

Inspector Megure rubbed his head.

Why is this so?
He glanced at Zheng Yi, who was smiling, and felt like his head was about to explode.

Shoichi stepped forward and said, "Inspector Megure, I'll have to trouble you to find the culprit first."

"If someone were killed at the company, it would make my employees feel unsafe and unable to concentrate on their work."

"I understand," Inspector Megure said.

We're about to get involved in Zheng Yi's case again.

It seems that my name will appear in tomorrow's newspaper, not my colleagues' names.

Why is my life so miserable?

"Cough cough."

Inspector Nakamori coughed and said to Inspector Megure, "Even though the suspect is dead, I still need to investigate this economic crime."

"I'll head back now." He glanced at Zheng Yi.

“Mr. Shoichi is the deceased’s boss. Inspector Megure must have a lot of questions to ask him. Let Mr. Shoichi cooperate with you.”

After saying that, Officer Nakamori left the office.

After leaving, they even thoughtfully closed the door for me.

Inspector Megure looked at Masakazu with unease.

Zheng Yi's smile, in particular, gave him the creeps.

Inspector Megure said, "Let's go to the scene first."

After opening the office door, Inspector Megure suddenly shouted:
“Mr. Zhengyi! You are highly suspected of committing a crime. If the police find that you have a problem, they will definitely enforce the law impartially!”

Zhengyi picked at his ear again.

Do all police officers speak this loudly?
He's just a police inspector, yet he speaks so loudly. I can't imagine how arrogant he would be if he were a superintendent.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I want to turn myself in!"

Just as I was about to leave the Metropolitan Police Department, a blond-haired man in a yellow shirt ran into the station.

His goal was clear; he grabbed Inspector Megure's hand and said:
"I killed him! I want to turn myself in!"

"You want to turn yourself in?"

Inspector Megure looked at the man running towards him with a strange expression.

"Wait a minute, tell me first who you killed?"

Inspector Megure felt a little dizzy.

Is there really a second murder today?

However, it seems that the perpetrator of this second murder case delivered himself to the door.

The blond-haired man took a few breaths and said:

"I killed Ōuchi Isaoya. I killed him."

"Ouchi Shun?"

Masakazu reminded him from the side, "My employee who just died was named Ōuchi Isao."

Inspector Megure's eyes darted around.

"so you……"

"That's right, I'm the murderer. Arrest me now!" The blond-haired man looked at Inspector Megure with eager eyes.

Inspector Megure took a few steps back.

I feel like this person who suddenly appeared has mental problems.

Shoichi yawned and said with a smile, "Inspector Megure, this time the murderer is actually a 'high-quality murderer'."

He pointed at the blond-haired man and said, "This case was solved as soon as it was reported. Inspector Megure should hurry up and put him in jail."

"Then I'll go find Inspector Nakamori."

"Yes, Inspector Megure."

The blond-haired man held up a bloodstained baseball bat and said, "This is my murder weapon. Get me arrested and thrown in jail now."

Inspector Megure took the baseball bat.

I have a feeling that things aren't that simple.

This blond-haired killer looks quite young; he doesn't seem like an old man in a hurry to retire in prison.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

This isn't right!
Inspector Megure, holding a baseball bat, said, "We can't just take your word for it to find out who the killer is."

"How can it be just one side of the story? There's still the murder weapon, isn't there?" The blond-haired man stared at Inspector Megure and pointed to the baseball bat in his hand.

"Why won't they arrest me? Are they not even allowed to surrender myself?"

Inspector Megure took a step back, feeling the intense gaze from the blond-haired man.

He said, "We certainly welcome criminals to turn themselves in, but the police still need to go to the scene to investigate in order to determine who the killer is."

Come with us to the scene.

Inspector Megure told Takagi to take the blond-haired man into the police car.

The man who embezzled Zheng Yi's money died, and immediately a blond-haired man came forward to turn himself in.

If this is true, then there really is something supernatural about it.

He is definitely helping someone cover up the truth.

"Mr. Zhengyi, please come with us to the scene." (End of Chapter)
