Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 5: Ai Haibara is the one in debt.
The next morning, the rain stopped and the sky cleared.

Sunlight streamed through the glass and shone on the face of a little girl.

The little girl's feet peeked out from under the blanket, her toes twitched, and she sat up without warning.

She touched her hair; it was very dry.

I groggily checked myself over and realized I had been washed and my clothes, including my underwear, had been changed.

The room was simply furnished, yet fully equipped.

There's a wardrobe and a dressing table, green plants by the window, and even a plush toy on the bed.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then put on the pink slippers that were on the ground.

Carefully open the bedroom door and walk outside.

She found herself in a two-story villa, which was quite large, and it took her a while to find the stairs.

Coming down the stairs, I saw a man having breakfast.

Shiho Miyano's hair stood on end.

The smell of the organization made it difficult for her to breathe.

"You're awake? Then come down for breakfast," Zheng Yi said casually.

After calming herself down, she obeyed the man's command, jumped onto the chair, and sat down opposite Zheng Yi.

"I……"

“I changed all your clothes, gave you a bath, and personally fed you your medicine. You don’t need to thank me in any special way,” Zheng Yi said.

Shiho Miyano's face stiffened.

Does that mean this guy saw my whole body?
Not only did they see it naked, they also touched it...

"Here is your breakfast, please enjoy." The maid placed the breakfast on Shiho Miyano's table.

Breakfast consisted of meat porridge and sandwiches, but Shiho Miyano had no intention of eating at all.

The maid looked at the little girl who wasn't eating, tilted her head, and said with a smile, "Your high fever yesterday really scared me."

Thankfully, after I gave you a bath, and after you took the medicine the doctor prescribed, you gradually felt better.

"Thank you." Shiho Miyano breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the watchful eyes of Shoichi and the maid, Ai slowly began to eat.

After they finished eating, Zheng Yi suddenly asked, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Miya... Hai... Ai Haibara," Ai stammered.

Zheng Yi nodded: "A name that will cause the world to wail in pain? It's a very good name."

Ai: ...

Maid: ~o(=∩ω∩=)m
Ai didn't explain; she didn't mean to make the world wail. Let him interpret it however he wants.

It's safe to say that they are indeed members of the organization; even their ideas are enough to make the world wail.

Now Ai is very worried.

If she were a normal person, judging from her behavior and the evidence last night, she should have already guessed that she was Shiho Miyano.

Moreover, that white coat should be in that man's hands now.

"Mr. Zhengyi, it's time for your medicine." The maid walked up to Zhengyi with several bottles of medicine.

"I'm not sick."

The maid looked troubled: "Your mental state is very unstable. Your father has been telling you for a long time to make sure you take your medicine."

Ai secretly glanced at the medicine bottle.

She recognized that drug; it was often used as an adjunct treatment for mental illness.

Under the gentle persuasion of the maid, Masakazu reluctantly finished taking the medicine.

Ai had been sitting in the chair waiting. After the maid left with the medicine bottle and water glass, she said to Shoichi, "Actually, I..."

"Sign this first," Zheng Yi interrupted Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai took the piece of paper Zheng Yi handed her, and the contents of the paper made her pupils contract slightly.

She looked down at her little pink shoes.

The contents of the paper were her IOU.

Including cleaning fees, medical expenses, clothing expenses, and various other miscellaneous costs, she owed a total of 2.37 million yen.

It cost more than two million yen in one night.

She didn't lack those two million yen when she was organizing the organization.

But now she has taken the drug developed by the organization, and her body has turned into that of a child. She escaped the organization alone, carrying only a fruit knife, which was then stolen by this person.

Two million yen is a very heavy burden for a penniless little girl.

She reluctantly signed the IOU.

After all, this man saved her life, and she still had to repay the money she owed. It didn't matter how much of a premium was involved; she could just consider it repayment for saving her life.

"By the way, the monthly interest rate is 10%," Zheng Yi said.

Ai almost broke the pen in her hand.

This is a profiteer! This is shameless loan sharking!
Current interest rates have dropped to around 2.8% due to the economic downturn, making this unscrupulous merchant's 10% rate even higher than the rates from a few years ago.

They are indeed despicable members of the organization; their hearts are too black.

Ai looked at the name 'Ai Haibara' on the paper.

The money was owed by Ai Haibara, what does it have to do with Shiho Miyano?

Returning the IOU to Masakazu, Ai said, "I..."

"By the way, since you've come to rely on me, let me arrange a school for you first," Zheng Yi said.

"I actually..."

"Are you planning to go to elementary school or middle school? Or go straight to high school?" Zheng Yi didn't give Xiao Ai a chance to speak at all.

"that……"

“It might be difficult for the university, since it’s not the enrollment season, so it wouldn’t be very convenient to get you in,” Zheng Yi said again.

"I want to go home!" Ai finally said what she had been wanting to say all along.

"go home?"

Zheng Yi sized up Ai, lazily crossed his legs, and said, "Aren't you an unregistered resident? Where do you live? I investigated you last night. Japan didn't find any information or history about you. You came here illegally, didn't you?"

Xiao Ai's inner alarm bells were ringing loudly.

Danger! !! !!

Zheng Yi then threw out another photo, which showed a man and a woman that Ai didn't recognize.

"These must be your parents, right? Shiaki Haibara and Kiyotani Haibara, Japanese-Mexicans who illegally immigrated back to Japan. Last night, they drove their car off a bridge and died in the crash. You have no family left."

Zheng Yi touched Ai's fluffy hair.

Ai was a little dazed.

ha?
I made up a random identity and actually found my relatives?
Is it such a coincidence?

"Don't be too sad. Since you met me last night, it must be fate. From now on, you can live with me," Zheng Yi said.

To avoid revealing her identity, Ai squeezed out some tears and started crying sadly.

But as I cried, the tears just wouldn't stop.

As Zheng Yi stroked Ai's head, the maid brought over tissues and gently comforted the poor little girl.

Ai felt ashamed. Why was she able to cry in front of the organization members?
Ai continued crying after taking the tissue the maid handed her.

Woohoo~
The one crying was Ai Haibara, not Shiho Miyano.
