Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

"Instead of staying here guarding this dead body, let's go outside and check our cars."

Motegi said.

Everyone glanced at Mogi and nodded.

We really should take care of Mogi's woman.

When they arrived at the gate of the villa, their car was still burning.

Kogoro suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"That's a car I rented," Kogoro said painfully.

Shoichi yawned, hoping Kogoro could hold on.

“My beloved Romeo, the car that Mr. Mori rented, has been blown up,” Mogi said.

While speaking, Mogi, that scumbag, showed not a trace of sadness on his face.

It seems he's wanted to find a different woman for a long time.

"And my Porsche, Mr. Da Shang's Ferrari, and what about this Mercedes?"

The maid said, "It must be the master's car. I saw this Bentley parked here when I arrived at the villa."

Conan stroked his chin and said, "The fact that bombs can be installed on these cars means that the host who invited everyone here must be hiding in the villa."

He might even be among us.

The detectives all nodded, agreeing with Conan's words.

When Conan saw Mogi looking at him, his face froze, and he immediately put on a blank and silly expression, trying to act like a silly child.

Oops.

You can't reveal your abnormality in front of people connected to the organization.

"So how did you get here?" Lady Chika asked the maid.

The maid said, "My car is parked at the back gate of the annex."

"The back door?" Mogi frowned and said, "There didn't seem to be any explosion sound from the direction of the back door just now."

The group then went to the back door and found the maid's car.

“He probably forgot to plant a bomb in this car,” Mogi said. “Why don’t we all drive this car to the suspension bridge and take a look?”

"No need."

Zheng Yi said, "Anyway, a helicopter will be coming to pick us up tomorrow. Why bother going to see that suspension bridge?"

“There is a risk of helicopters crashing,” Mogi said.

He felt a little scared when he saw Zheng Yi.

If Zheng Yi was the host who invited them here, then there must be many ways he can retaliate against him in the villa.

It's enough that he died in the villa, and in the kind of death where the killer can't be found.

Even if he's lucky enough to survive tonight.

Leaving here by helicopter will surely be another catastrophe.

If everything is under Zheng Yi's control, that would be terrible.

"Do you want to go with him and take a look?" Zheng Yi asked.

"Yes!" Conan raised his hand immediately.

Of course, he wanted to have more contact with suspected members of the organization.

Zheng Yi shook his head; he didn't want to waste time with these people.

"Then you guys go take a look. I'm taking Ai to bed," Masakazu said.

Xiao Lan said worriedly, "But Brother Zhengyi, it might be dangerous for you to stay in the villa."

The host who invited them must have made arrangements in the annex.

"It doesn't matter."

Zheng Yi said, "He invited several detectives. What does he want with me?"

After saying that, he took Ai's hand and walked into the villa.

Xiaolan wanted to say something more out of concern, but Qianjian interrupted her, saying:

"Mr. Zhengyi will not be in danger."

“That’s right, he might be the one who created the danger,” Mogi said.

Ran looked angrily at Mogi and said, "Shoichi isn't a bad person at all."

Mogi shook his head and didn't argue with the little girl.

These children have never witnessed the darkness of society, let alone know how cruel and evil Zheng Yi is. Lady Qianjian narrowed her eyes and remained silent.

With Zheng Yi around, it significantly reduced the suspicion surrounding her.

And then there's Mogi, who's always been very active.

Chima glanced at Conan and Gunfield.

These two seem to have already suspected that Mogi is involved in something.

"Let's go, let's go take a look at the suspension bridge." Mogi said, getting into the car first.

After he got on the car, the rest of the people, except for the maid, all squeezed onto the car.

We arrived at the suspension bridge.

Just as the dummy had said, the suspension bridge had been destroyed, and they had no way out.

That night, they had to stay in the annex.

……

Zheng Yi pulled Xiao Ai into the villa.

Ai stood in the bedroom doorway and said, "Since they've all gone out, why don't you just go sleep in their room?"

“That won’t do. It’s not like they’re not coming back,” Zheng Yi said.

"Of course, it's also possible that they won't be able to come back."

Xiao Ai's face darkened.

Can you please stop telling me such dark things?
Zheng Yi pushed Xiao Ai into the bedroom.

"But it's not necessarily true that they won't all come back. What if Ran or Gunda suddenly walks in and lies in the same bed with me while I'm sleeping?"
That would be hard to explain, and I'd suffer a great loss.

Ai looked at Masakazu.

You keep saying you're at a huge disadvantage, but why do you look so expectant?
Bah! You dog of a man!
“We’ll draw a line on the bed, and whoever crosses it is a dog,” Zheng Yi said.

Ai rolled her eyes.

You've been a dog for many years.

As Ai Haibara predicted, before the 38th parallel was even drawn, Seiichi had already started acting like a dog.

Zheng Yi yawned, lay down on the bed, patted his butt, and called to Xiao Ai to come and go to sleep.

He rolled over and whispered:

"I hope that when I wake up, someone will still be alive."

Xiao Ai suddenly felt a jolt.

Are you really that cruel?
Can you please not say such scary things before going to sleep? It's easy to have nightmares.

After kicking Zheng Yi, she said, "Just how many assassins have you planted here?"

"No."

Xiao Ai looked at Zheng Yi suspiciously.

Could you say that without a killer?

“I have no conflict with them, why would I kill them?” Zheng Yi said.

Is there really no conflict?
Anyone with a normal mind knows that Mogi has a conflict with you, right?

Both you and the other person have made it very clear.

Especially Mogi's wariness and fear of you.

Zheng Yi yawned again and told Ai to go to sleep early and not to think about those messy things.

Once he wakes up, everything should be over, and he can easily buy the villa.

Gold, oh gold~
They all belong to him now.

Even Ai could feel Shoichi's joy.

Masakazu stroked Ai's hair and said:
"I only trust the host who invited them, and Conan."

Shoichi's words made Ai even more confused.

Could it be that Conan is in cahoots with the owner of the annex?

Are they plotting to murder the other detectives?

Although Ai Haibara isn't close to Conan, she's heard from Ran and Sonoko that she thinks Shinichi Kudo is a detective with a strong sense of justice.

Could it be that the rumors and news reports are all false? (End of Chapter)
