Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Arrived at the talent agency.

Zheng Yi put away his phone and got out of the car. After getting out, he felt even more uneasy.

The police officers quickly arrived at the crime scene, and Zheng Yi followed behind them, calmly walking inside.

"Brother Mori? What are you doing here?"

Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro Mouri with surprise.

Kogoro said, "Miss Yoko said she has a new song and invited our family to listen to it and give us some feedback."

Why did she invite you?

Kogoro blushed and said, "Because Ms. Yoko and I are good friends, and we need the audience's feedback on her new song."

"I see." Inspector Megure nodded.

Wherever Kogoro Mouri is, nothing good ever happens, regardless of whether it's related to Shoichi or not.

And when it comes to Zhengyi.

That would make things even worse.

"Has a case occurred?" Kogoro asked.

"of course."

Inspector Megure decided to ignore Kogoro Mouri and went into the office where Isao Ouchi had been killed.

As a detective, Kogoro naturally followed him in.

"Since there's a murder case, then I'll also..."

"No need to trouble you." Inspector Megure decisively interrupted Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro glared at Inspector Megure with displeasure.

Ms. Yoko is right here, and you're not letting me show my skills?
This is simply unreasonable.

"Ahem~ That's not how it works." Kogoro straightened his tie and said, "I think I, Kogoro Mouri, will definitely come in handy."

After all, I am the world's greatest detective.

Inspector Megure's lips twitched.

I wonder who gave you the title of the world's greatest detective.

Is it Zhengyi?
“You seem quite relaxed,” Inspector Megure said.

You either go to Yoko Okino's concert or help the police solve cases for free out of boredom. Don't you need to earn money to support your family?
Inspector Megure glanced at Masakazu.

It seems someone has provided Kogoro with a lot of financial assistance, which is why he can live so easily.

Yoko Okino's concert tickets, along with her albums, posters, and other merchandise, are not cheap.

"The main thing is that it can serve the police~" Kogoro said.

While Inspector Megure was examining the body, Kogoro went to gather information from the other officers and learned that someone had actually turned themselves in in this case.

Then he went to Dongdongpa.

After glancing at Masakazu, Dongdongpa repeated what he had said in the car to Kogoro Mouri.

"Snapped!"

Kogoro clapped his hands and said loudly, "Mr. Dongdongpa speaks so sincerely, it doesn't seem like he's lying."

"Just as I expected." Inspector Megure looked up and muttered to himself.

Kogoro's answer did not surprise anyone.

Find a scapegoat quickly, and don't let Zheng Yi get involved in any suspicion.

Old Zhengyi's lackey, that guy.

Dongdongpa's eyes darted around, unsure how to proceed with the performance.

How can I convince the police that I killed the person?
Then I really will have to go to prison.

How can I convince the police that I didn't kill the person and that I'm just a scapegoat?
The police would definitely suspect Zheng Yi first.

Zheng Yi will kill me.

Thump, thump, thump, like sitting on pins and needles.

If I had known, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to kill Ōuchi Isao.

Anyway, that guy has already offended Zheng Yi, so his death is only a matter of time. There's no need for me to rush into action.

All we need to do is wait quietly for him to be killed by Zheng Yi.

Now he's killing Isao Ouchi, then turning himself in, trying to arouse police suspicion that he's taking the blame. This would clear his name completely and create a media frenzy, further boosting his fame.

In fact, his operation was very close to success.

The police simply did not believe he was the murderer.

However, the police suspect that Zheng Yi is the murderer!
Zheng Yi knew whether he was the murderer or not, and Dong Dongpao knew it too.

Therefore, he himself was unaware of his impending death, but Zheng Yi was very clear about it.

"Let's hurry back, staying here is just a waste of time," Kogoro said to Conan and Ran.

Conan shook his head.

The uncle really hasn't improved at all.

How could you so hastily draw such a conclusion about something that is clearly unscientific?

Conan said, "But..."

"But even if that person is impulsive, would they really be so impulsive as to use a metal baseball bat to kill their most important partner?"

White Horse Saguru walked in from outside the room, with his eagle Watson perched on his shoulder.

"Hakuba Saguru? What are you doing here?" Inspector Megure asked.

White Horse strode in, staring intently at Zheng Yi.

He did not answer Inspector Megure's question.

Since someone is going to make a move against him in three days, he is not one to sit idly by and wait for his death.

He needs to take the initiative.

Zheng Yi waved his hand, and Watson, who was on Bai Ma Tan's shoulder, flew over.

He stroked Watson's shiny fur.

He whispered to Watson, "Good boy, I'll feed you the mice later."

Despite being betrayed, Hakuba Saguru had no remorse and continued to watch Masakazu.

Feeling neglected, Inspector Megure tugged at his hat.

He said to Takagi, "I also doubt the veracity of what Dongdongpa said. Takagi, go and investigate whether his testimony is true."

"Yes!"

Looking at Takagi's retreating figure, Masakazu said, "I have a feeling that the real culprit is Mr. Dongdongpa."

Thump, thump, thump, his body stiffened, and he dared not move an inch.

Hakuba Saguru, of course, noticed the thumping and clapping sounds.

"Ok?"

"Crack~"

A commotion arose outside the door as a group of reporters pushed open the door and began taking pictures inside with their flashlights on.

"Mr. Dongdongpa, is it true that you killed Mr. Ouchi Isao?"

"Mr. Dongdongpa, is it true that you surrendered to the police after killing Ōuchi Isao?"

The reporters outside kept asking questions, and Dong Dongpa looked at them helplessly.

Face the camera so they can clearly capture your face.

Takagi stood in the doorway and said:
"No, no, you can't come in!"

Inspector Megure stood up, frowned, and said to the reporters, "The case is still in the inquiry stage. If you want to interview, come back later."

"Snapped!"

"Please, get out!"

Takagi managed to close the door, thus managing to deal with the reporters.

After dealing with those reporters.

Hakuba Saguru looked at Kogoro Mouri and Shoichi as if declaring war and said:
"Mr. Mori, let's wait a bit. The 'thump-thump-pa' might not be the murderer."

Perhaps, a famous detective will even step in.

There was also an opportunity for Mr. Zhengyi to 'make an appearance'.

Hakuba Saguru's words were laced with a strong sense of hostility; anyone could tell. (End of Chapter)
