Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 36 You will regret it

"Investigate me? Why?"

"Oh, it's just an investigation into whether I committed murder? That's fine, don't investigate anything else."

"But the people at the Metropolitan Police Department are so rude. They didn't even notify me before they started their investigation?"

Zheng Yi hung up the phone, somewhat annoyed.

That's incredibly rude. They wanted to investigate whether I committed murder, but they didn't even notify me. I had been so cooperative with the Metropolitan Police Department before.

However, if the investigation is only about whether there was murder, then there's no need to worry about it at all.

He was pure and innocent.

"Ai, come out with me tomorrow!" Masakazu shouted upstairs.

"No, I have plans to go out with my classmates."

"Oh? My Ai-chan even knows to ask her classmates to go out and play?" Masakazu asked, somewhat surprised.

Xiao Ai sat on the bed and soaked her feet in the basin.

She had realized that she couldn't spend too much time with Zheng Yi. If people spend too much time together, it's easy to develop feelings, which would affect her will to seek revenge.

Therefore, in order not to affect the speed of my sword swings, I should avoid contact with Zheng Yi in the future.

Ai thought of Ran, that girl with superhuman strength in karate.

If she could learn Ran's terrifying karate skills, she might be able to successfully take revenge.

The next morning, Ai and Masakazu parted ways.

After having Yuko drive Ai to her classmate's place, Masakazu drove himself to find his own friend.

The car arrived at a lively wedding ceremony.

"Long time no see, Zhengyi."

"It's been a long time since I've seen Junyan." Zhengyi greeted the person in front of him.

Zhengyi and Junyan hugged each other and said, "We won't give you a gift this time for your wedding. We'll make it up to you next time."

"Are you kidding me? I'll only get married this once," Takasugi Toshihiko said.

"Who can say for sure what will happen next?" Zheng Yi said.

"You really are still joking around like before."

Junyan patted Zhengyi on the shoulder and led him into the wedding venue.

On the way, Zheng Yi suddenly asked, "Where is your father-in-law? He's been secretly investigating whether I committed murder without informing me beforehand. That's very impolite."

“My father-in-law is probably with other guests,” Junyan said. “As for that investigation, don’t worry about it. How could you possibly kill someone?”

"However, my father-in-law doesn't like me very much, and I don't have any say in his affairs."

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "Then I'll go ask him myself."

Today is the wedding day of Toshihiko Takasugi, the heir to the Takasugi Foundation, and Sayuri Matsumoto, the daughter of Manager Kiyoshi Matsumoto.

Many scions of wealthy families and members of the Metropolitan Police Department attended the wedding.

Even the forensic doctor, Chang Zong, came to the wedding banquet.

"Chōzō, you've only been with the Metropolitan Police Department for two months, and you've already been promoted from patrol officer to patrol chief. You have a bright future ahead of you."

"Not at all, it's just that the leaders value my professional skills," said the forensic doctor, Chang Zong, waving his hand.

He was a student who entered the police academy after a short-term college degree. He was promoted to patrol chief in just two months, which was all thanks to his professional skills.

"Huh? It seems that Young Master Zhengyi is also attending the wedding."

Upon hearing that familiar name, forensic pathologist Chang Zong unconsciously straightened his clothes, as if he were ready to serve Zheng Yi at any moment.

However, Zheng Yi didn't seem to notice this and was still chatting around the groom. The group consisted of scions of wealthy families, and they were all acquaintances who often gathered together to chat at parties.

One of them asked, "I really don't understand why you got married so early, Junyan."

"I just feel like I've reached the age where I should get married," Junyan said, scratching his head.

After chatting with them for a few minutes, Masakazu went to find Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

He was not afraid of being investigated for murder, because he was pure and innocent.

If it's an investigation into something else, that would be bad; Matsumoto Kiyonaga needs to be careful about what he does.

While Matsumoto Kiyonaga was talking to people from the Metropolitan Police Department, Shoichi beckoned to the forensic pathologist Chosoya, and at Chosoya's introduction, Shoichi pushed Megure's shoulder aside and walked towards Matsumoto.

"Manager Matsumoto, I've long admired you."

“Mr. Zhengyi, I often hear people talk about you.”

Shoichi and Matsumoto Kiyonaga shook hands.

His sudden intrusion brought the conversation to a brief halt.

Zheng Yi raised his head slightly, looked at Matsumoto, and said, "What you're doing is against the rules."

“Mr. Shoichi, our Metropolitan Police Department has always acted in accordance with the rules,” Matsumoto Kiyonaga said.

The surrounding Metropolitan Police Department members stood solemnly or frowned in thought. The lively wedding scene instantly transformed into a tense and confrontational area.

Kiyoshi Matsumoto said matter-of-factly, "According to the rules, if there is a report from the public, our Metropolitan Police Department must investigate."

“I’ve already been investigated many times since those cases happened. Why are you investigating me again? I don’t know what you’re trying to find out about,” Zheng Yi said.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga said with a sharp look in his eyes, "We know that being investigated is annoying, but I'm sorry, it's our duty as the Metropolitan Police Department."

Masakazu smiled and said, "No, no, no, Matsumoto Kiyonaga, it's like cleaning the toilet is annoying, but the person who cleans the toilet isn't annoying, but you are extremely annoying."

Matsumoto Kiyoshi nodded and said, "You're right. Just like a person who needs to use the toilet won't dislike the person who cleans the toilet, a person without any blemishes won't dislike the people in the investigation department."

"Matsumoto Kiyonaga, you'll regret this."

"Zhengyi!"

Takasugi Toshihiko walked over dressed as a groom, which eased the tense atmosphere somewhat.

Junyan glanced at his father-in-law and said to Zhengyi, "They're insisting on going to see the bride. Do you want to go and take a look too?"

“Okay, I’ll go see what kind of bride is making you so eager to get married at such a young age,” Zheng Yi said.

Everyone present visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm really afraid these two will start fighting.

As Masaichi turned and took his first step, he paused for a moment and said to Matsumoto Kiyonaga behind him:

"I hope that Matsumoto's management can complete the investigation as soon as possible and clear my name."

"Please rest assured, the Metropolitan Police Department will never wrong an innocent person," Matsumoto Kiyonaga said.

Junyan pulled Zheng Yidao along, saying, "Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to see Xiaobaihe."

……

On the bride's side, Ran, Sonoko, Ai, and Conan were chatting with her.

Ai speaks very little, only occasionally echoing their words.

When she looks at Conan, she can't help but reveal a sense of superiority. For Conan, a primary school student, this high school student is an unattainable level.

Conan just felt that this little brat was being a bit too pretentious.
