Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

"Ok?"

Even if Conan trusts Shoichi completely, he can't believe that Hakuba Saguru is the culprit.

Regardless of Zheng Yi's reasoning ability.

So, how did Brother Zheng Yi find out who was behind it all, since he was sleeping all night?
Zheng Yi looked at Bai Ba Saguru and said, "Didn't Bai Ba Saguru say that this is a trial for those who cannot be judged?"

Does that mean the murderer was actually a very righteous person?

He paused, his finger still pointing at Hakuba Saguru.

"Mr. Hakuba Saguru is a very righteous person."

Hakuba Saguru chuckled and said, "You suspect me of being the murderer based on such a reason?"

This is a reason that could make a detective laugh himself to death.

Zheng Yi said, "Bai Ma Saguru, don't you feel that the murderer you're talking about looks a lot like you?"

Bai Ma Tan was stunned.

Zheng Yi continued, "You firmly believe in your own sense of justice and have always suspected that I am a heinous criminal who has committed great crimes."

They don't believe the police's judgment, and even suspect that the police are protecting me and have been investigating me all along.

Someone like you is very likely to face this kind of trial.

After Shoichi finished speaking, Conan looked at Hakuba Saguru suspiciously.

Zheng Yi Ge's words make a lot of sense.

Hakuba Saguru might actually be like that.

“I don’t have the money to buy this villa,” Hakuba Saguru said.

“If it were you, my bank would be happy to lend you the money,” Zheng Yi said.

Hakuba Saguru suspected that Shoichi was insulting him.

He would never use his father's name to accept bribes.

Hakuba Saguru's words did not gain the trust of Masakazu and the others. In fact, he saw Conan making a wary gesture towards him.

He raised an eyebrow.

If I suddenly attack, even if you're on guard, you little brat can't stop me.

Hakuba Saguru looked at Shoichi with a very malicious gaze and said, "If I were that judge, the first person I would kill would definitely be you."

When Hakuba Saguru said this, he meant it sincerely.

He's been trying to bring Zheng Yi to justice for far too long.

Even in my wildest dreams.

"Conan, look at this! Hakuba Saguru so easily shifted into the culprit's perspective. I find it hard to believe his innocence."

"And the look of smugness he had just given was really scary," Zheng Yi said.

Hakuba Saguru touched his own face.

Just now, thinking about Zheng Yi being judged by justice, he was indeed a little excited and couldn't control his expression.

Conan looked at Hakuba Saguru with great vigilance.

"Cough cough."

Hakuba Saguru coughed.

"Buzz~"

"what sound?"

A loud noise suddenly came from outside the villa.

"A helicopter?" Conan asked, puzzled. "Brother Zhengyi, didn't you say you were sending your driver to pick you up this afternoon?"

"I called the police," Hakuba Saguru said expressionlessly.
“Last night, I asked Walter to call the police.”

"So your eagle has this kind of function?"

The helicopter was in the air and couldn't find a suitable landing spot, so Inspector Megure and the others on board had to lower a ladder down.

After arriving at the villa, Kogoro told the police what had happened inside.

Inspector Megure said with a serious expression:

"So, a total of four people died in the villa, is that right?"

“That’s right.” Kogoro nodded.

"Sato, take some men down the cliff and find Miss Gunda's body."

"Yes."

Sato nodded, somewhat suspecting that Inspector Megure was deliberately trying to get rid of her.

After sending Sato away, Inspector Megure looked at the group of people in the villa and said, "Now, there are only a few of you left in the villa, so the murderer is among you, right?"

Kogoro said that they had already searched the annex and its surrounding area.

No one else was found.

Since the victims all died in the annex, the murderer must be among them.

Inspector Megure surveyed the survivors.

Two children—that definitely eliminates any suspicion.

Zheng Yi... um.

He wouldn't kill someone himself, so he's not a strong suspect.

Xiaolan was just a simple and kind high school girl. She had no connection with these victims and could not possibly be the murderer.

Bai Ma Tan, the son of Director Bai Ma, is not the murderer.

Kogoro Mouri, despite being Shoichi's lackey, was still hard for Inspector Megure to believe that his old subordinate would do such a thing.

Inspector Megure set his sights on the person who was most likely to be provoked.

The maid blinked, then said with some fear:
"I can't be the murderer!"

Ran stepped forward to explain for the maid: "When Ms. Chima died, I was washing the dishes with the maid. She couldn't be the murderer."

"If none of them are the murderers, does that mean the victims all committed suicide?" Inspector Megure said.

After he finished speaking, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Four people, still in the same place.

If all the deaths are suicides, then the angry crowd will really storm the Metropolitan Police Department.

They still hoped the police would show them some respect, at least by putting on an act.

“Why can’t it be suicide?” Zhengyi said.

Inspector Megure lacked any spirit of bold skepticism.

What happened when four people committed suicide together at the Twilight Villa?
If one were even bolder, one could easily guess that the deceased murdered each other.

There are always more ways than difficulties.

Inspector Megure didn't want to talk to Masakazu.

He wouldn't believe such an absurd conclusion.

"Takagi, take the rest of the men and search this villa," Inspector Megure said.

"Yes."

Takagi, along with the remaining police officers, began searching the villa.

Shoichi, worried that his treasure would be discovered, told Inspector Megure about Hakuba Saguru's earlier "trial" and even suspected that Hakuba Saguru was the murderer.

Inspector Megure looked at Hakuba Saguru; he was genuinely suspicious.

High school students like this are at an age where they can do anything.

Some high school students act as detectives to investigate the truth.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is a judge who judges evil.

Hakuba Saguru really has a motive.

At least, he was the most motivated among this group.

Moreover, Hakuba Saguru has the ability to do so.

Can we really believe in so-called 'mass suicide' or 'the dead killing the dead'?

“I am not the murderer,” Hakuba Saguru said.

"Cough cough."

Inspector Megure coughed and said, "Let's wait until the police investigate the annex before we talk about it."

After saying that, Inspector Megure whispered again:
"Things like trying criminals must be left to the law."

Conan yawned.

What can the police possibly find out? It's a complete waste of time.

Kogoro also felt that he was wasting his time.

Zheng Yi's brow remained furrowed; he was very worried that these rude police officers would damage his treasure.

As Kogoro yawned, a hand suddenly grabbed his cheek and pulled hard.

Oh no!! (End of Chapter)
