Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 78 Collision

"Mr. Suzuki, some people say that your high-profile confrontation with Kaito Kid is just to cover up the hype surrounding Shoichi's 'accidental death'."

The bald-headed Suzuki Jirokichi said to Koike, "I won't comment on Masakazu's matter, but my popularity will definitely crush his!"

The feud between Suzuki Jirokichi and Shoichi has a long history.

As someone who is rich, has plenty of free time, and loves adventure and being in the spotlight.

Nothing is more painful than having your limelight stolen.

The European Open Golf Championship, the U.S. Cup Open in Yote, the World Hamburger Fast Food Championship, and the Savannah Cycling Race.

He was runner-up in all of them.

And the champion was that kid named Sumitomo Shoichi.

Finally, Zheng Yi won the championship in the human-powered plane circumnavigation of the world without Zheng Yi's participation, but the news was stolen by Kaito Kid.

Sumitomo Shoichi and Kaito Kid are his lifelong enemies, Suzuki Jirokichi!
"So, Mr. Jirokichi Suzuki, why did you choose to confront Kaito Kid at the Beika City Hall?"

The old man, holding the microphone, said, "This is the duel location set by Phantom Thief Kid, but let him be. No matter where it is, he can't take Dark Star from me."

Jirokichi Suzuki pointed to the jewel on his chest, as if he were taunting Kaito Kid.

He arrogantly boasted, "I will definitely make Phantom Thief Kid suffer a crushing defeat!"

This time, he not only has to defeat Kaito Kid in front of all the media, but also suppress the popularity of Zheng Yi!
……

"The person who planted the bomb was Teiji Moriya!"

Inside Teiji Moriya's villa, Mori once again transforms into 'Sleeping Kogoro' and successfully uncovers the culprit behind this bombing case.

"Arrest Teiji Moriya immediately!" Inspector Megure shouted.

After subduing Teiji Moriya, Inspector Megure vigorously shook Kogoro Mouri's body, jolting him up.

"Huh? What happened?" Kogoro Mouri mumbled, still half asleep.

Inspector Megure patted Kogoro Mouri on the shoulder and said, "You've solved the case."

"Has the case been solved?"

Kogoro Mouri hadn't reacted yet.

But Inspector Megure understood him very well.

He put his arm around Kogoro Mouri's and said, "I know a really good psychologist. Let's go see him after we catch Teiji Moriya."

"Huh? Why should I see a psychologist?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.

"Because it's an illness."

"Hahahaha~"

Conan frowned as he looked at Teiji Moriya, who had suddenly burst into laughter.

Inspector Megure said with displeasure, "You bastard, you're still so arrogant even after being arrested?"

Moriya Teiji continued to laugh, laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up: "If you think that will solve everything, you're being too naive."

"What do you mean?"

Moriya Teiji said meaningfully, "Because there's another building I plan to destroy!"

He spent a lot of money to buy so much explosives; this wasn't a small-scale operation.

Conan suddenly turned around and saw the photo hanging on the wall.

"Could it be the Mikasa City Hall?"

“That’s right!” Teiji Moriya said with dissatisfaction, “And there’s also the issue of insufficient funding due to the collapse of the bubble economy.”

This reason is utterly ridiculous. This is the worst work I've ever done. You simply don't understand my aesthetics!

Now, there's not much time left before the explosion.

……

"That red dress looks really good on you, Xiaolan. You really suit red."

"Thank you. Shinichi and I are also lucky in red this month," Ran said.

Sonoko gave a mischievous smile: "It seems like I haven't seen Shinichi Kudo for a long time either. Well then, I'll go see him with you."

"But the movie we're going to see isn't very good. And he's a pretty boring guy, why bother seeing him?" "I'm just kidding, who wants to be a third wheel?"

Sonoko rested her hand on the table, then, with a lovesick expression, said:
"Today is the day of Lord Kid's performance, I want to see Lord Kid!"

Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this has also caused some trouble.

Why did Kid have to choose the Beika City Hall? She and Shinichi had made plans to watch a movie there, and she hoped they wouldn't be disturbed.

"Alright, let's go to the Mikado City Hall together."

"it is good."

Not far from the café where Ran and Sonoko were, Shoichi and Vermouth's conversation was also in its final stages.

Vermouth finally asked, "Why do you make movies? It's just one movie, the money it makes isn't much for you, you don't need to put so much effort into it, do you?"

“The important thing about movies is never the box office,” Zheng Yi said. “Being able to show this movie to some people is far more valuable to me than the box office revenue.”

Vermouth glanced at the script and gave a strange smile.

"Okay, I look forward to our cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Zhengyi and Vermouth shook hands.

After the three of them had dinner, Zheng Yi and Vermouth parted ways.

Vermouth remained calm enough not to ask Shinichi about anything related to Kudo Shinichi.

Given her attention to Shinichi Kudo, she shouldn't have missed the newspaper reports about Shinichi Kudo's fingerprints.

But she didn't discuss this topic with Zheng Yi.
As Zhengyi and Curaçao got into the car to go home.

"Are those people in front Ran and Sonoko?" Masakazu asked.

"Yes."

Zhengyi glanced out the window; it was already dark.

Ran and Sonoko were walking in the direction of the Beika Municipal Building.
