Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

"So, what do you want to do?" Ai asked curiously.

Far away in Nagoya, it seems that Shoichi's influence doesn't reach there, and the local police don't really give him any face.

"Should we send Conan over?"

Xiao Ai immediately thought of this hardworking ox or horse.

Although Conan may seem foolish in front of Shoichi, he is, after all, a very capable detective.

If he goes to Nagoya, it will be difficult for him to escape the clutches of those shady detectives.

Maybe we can see through their methods.

“No.” Zheng Yi shook his head.

There is only one Conan, but those financial tycoons certainly don't just employ one detective.

Even if you split Conan in two, you still wouldn't be able to handle it all.

Even with Hakuba Saguru and Osaka Kuroki, they still can't keep up.

Oh.

Because of his illness, Hakuba Saguru is temporarily unable to speak, making it inconvenient for him to solve cases.

Moreover, this kind of efficiency is too low.

Zheng Yi didn't have the patience to expose them one by one.

Shoichi looked at Ai and said, "I am guilty."

"what?"

Ai suspects there's something wrong with her ears.

Seeing Shoichi suddenly become serious, Ai didn't know what to say.

She tentatively asked, "So, are you going to turn yourself in?"

"No no no."

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "I didn't break the law. I just set a bad example."

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Yi added:

"It was just that I inadvertently set a bad example. I didn't do it on purpose. It was all against my will."

But since I'm the reason she became like this, I also bear some responsibility.

Ai's eyebrows furrowed together.

He just admitted his guilt, but then kept trying to clear his name.

Can't you be a little more honest?
Ai said impatiently, "So, you want me to play the role of a priest who can forgive everything and then comfort you for all your sins?"

"No no no."

"Then play a policeman?"

"No, no, no, but if you like police uniforms, I can buy you one," Zheng Yi said.

Ai looked at Masakazu calmly, completely unconcerned by his... teasing, and even just wanted to yawn.

Shoichi seemed to be losing face, and messed up Ai's hair.

He continued, "Those conglomerates and large corporations are, after all, imitating me, so I decided to make up for all of that."

"How can we make it up to you?" Ai asked.

Are you going to lure them together and then directly threaten them, saying that anyone who doesn't stop will be killed?

"Of course, we should get them together and then try to persuade them gently," Zheng Yi said.

Ai shook her head.

Even an eight-year-old like her knows that this won't work.

Just like Zheng Yi will not give up his previous methods.

Those who have tasted the benefits are unlikely to give up such a simple and efficient method.

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "Maybe I was just being too naive. Those guys might not listen to me."

Ai nodded.

They will absolutely not listen to you.

Zheng Yi then said, "Then I'll gather those detectives together and gently persuade them not to aid and abet evil."

"Huh?" Ai looked at Masakazu suspiciously.

She didn't believe Zheng Yi was that naive.

Simply offering kind advice will not be effective.

"You didn't gather them together and then massacre them, did you?" Ai asked. "Am I really that bad a person in your eyes?" Zheng Yi said with dissatisfaction.

He won't do it himself.

Once you take action, you'll definitely leave a trace.

He believed the police were incompetent, but he also believed the detectives were competent.

In detective anime, who knows how those detectives manage to find evidence?

Zheng Yi said, "They chose to aid and abet evil, isn't it all for money? I plan to share a treasure with them."

After sharing this treasure, they'll definitely have no shortage of money and won't be tempted to do anything illegal.

"You're really that kind?" Ai didn't believe Masakazu's words at all.

If there's treasure, you're definitely going to keep it all for yourself.

Even I'm reluctant to share it, let alone detectives I don't even know.

“Of course,” Zheng Yi said with a smile. “For the sake of social stability, I am not stingy about losing some money.”

Ai still looked at him with suspicion.

Shoichi pinched Ai's cheek and said, "I don't value money that much."

I do not believe.

As someone who was exploited by Shoichi, Ai Haibara felt that this statement was too untrue.

“I was just enjoying the thrill of exploiting you before, since simply exploiting you wouldn’t make me much more money,” Zheng Yi said.

It seems he was worried that Ai wouldn't believe him.

He added, "Look at those ordinary employees, I don't exploit them much. Even if they work overtime, they get overtime pay."

Masayuki glanced at Ai.

Seeing her little tiger teeth pressed against her skin, I felt that she probably believed what I said.

Zheng Yi winced in pain, hissing as he said:

"It's all for the sake of social stability, and I'm willing to sacrifice."

At this moment, Zheng Yi seemed to be surrounded by merit, and his whole body became taller.

Ai continued to kiss Shoichi with her teeth, and even spat out a kiss.

Are you going to run for Congress?

They keep saying these high-sounding words.

He summoned Hiroki and asked, "If a large amount of gold suddenly appeared on the market, what impact would it have on the price of gold?"

gold?

Hearing this, Ai's teeth loosened a little, and she listened curiously to Hiroki's answer.

However, Ai was more concerned about where Shoichi could get a large amount of gold than Hiroki's answer.

Did we strike gold?
"How large is 'large'?"

“It’s huge,” Zheng Yi exclaimed dramatically. “It could be as big as a castle made of gold.”

"Did it appear out of thin air, a gold mine, or a technological breakthrough?"

"Appeared out of thin air".

After asking these questions, Hongshu quickly gave his answers.

"Gold prices will experience a catastrophic crash, which could trigger global economic and financial turmoil."

Zheng Yi then asked, "So, how much gold would appear without significantly affecting the price of gold?"

"The increase of several hundred tons is gradual and will likely be absorbed by the market, with little impact on prices."

Zheng Yi frowned, dissatisfied with the answer.

What he hates most is using years as a unit of measurement.

Of course, he would be very happy if he were paid on an annual basis.

"Let's recalculate. The amount of gold sold in a month won't have a significant impact on the price of gold."

"Where did you get so much gold?" Ai asked before Hiroki could answer.

Zheng Yi said, "This is the legacy left by my second uncle overseas, and I am the sole heir."

Ai pouted.

That's a really lame excuse. (End of Chapter)
