Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

The next morning, some people rushed to the villa impatiently. At the same time, Matsumoto Akira and others finally resumed contact with the outside world.

As expected, at noon, the police appeared like gods and took away both Ichieda Takashi and Shii Reika.

Due to Suzuki Sonoko's special instructions and Busujima Yaji's support, the Yotsubi Group has no hope of suppressing the matter this time.

However, at this time, Matsumoto Akira was worried that the police or the court would impose a heavier sentence due to pressure from both sides.

However, what was unexpected was that the questioning from the old chairman of the Shijing Group did not come as expected.

Instead, as soon as the news came out, a mysterious consortium was waiting for an opportunity to take action.

This group of people were obviously not those who took advantage of the situation to rob. Instead, it seemed that they knew the inside story beforehand, or they had even mastered the relevant order long ago. Even if no one took action, they would take action later.

Ichieda Takashi's guess was correct. The relevant evidence of the Shijing Group had already fallen into the hands of these groups.

They are sitting on the sidelines simply because they want to wait for Sijing Lihua to take over. Once the old chairman retires or passes away, they can sit back and reap the benefits and maximize their profits.

After all, it is well known that Yoshii Reika has no talent for managing a consortium, and pinning hopes on her to turn the tide in a crisis is nothing but a pipe dream.

In addition, due to previous events, the consortium hiding in the dark had already guessed that the person who would marry Yotsuga Reika could only be Nikaido Yuji.

Therefore, they had already secretly planned how to deal with Yotsugu Reika and Nikaido Yuji.

But they never expected that the Suzuki Group would suddenly appear and intervene.

Fortunately, the Suzuki Group only took away part of the industry and did not cause a fatal blow to the Yotsuyi Group.

Even the Busujima family, who took action later, only took a small portion of the profits and did not make any major moves on the assets of the Yotsuei Group.

Next, the feast for the behind-the-scenes consortium really began. After all, the main course was still there, enough for them to feast on.

Even though the old chairman of the Shijing Group was extremely capable, he was inevitably dwarfed when faced with fierce and endless opponents.

In the end, he could only maintain the consortium's survival with great difficulty at the cost of sacrificing a lot of interests.

Perhaps he has given away a lot of high-quality properties, but at least he has retained some of them, and the shell of the consortium is still standing.

Although his overall wealth has shrunk significantly, even so, he is still in a wealthy class that ordinary people can hardly reach.

After Matsumoto Akira paid attention to this point, he no longer paid attention to the follow-up. Anyway, there are only two possible outcomes: the Yotsubi Group will retaliate after stabilizing, or it will completely collapse under the continued pursuit.

Of course, if the old chairman is patient enough, he can even give up revenge and instead accumulate strength; if he is open-minded enough, he may be able to turn enemies into friends with those consortiums.

The worst that could happen is that you would just give up that part of the property, stop pursuing related matters, and start a new business.

Putting aside other things for now, after this return, Matsumoto Akira and his classmates can finally go to school peacefully for two days again.

After this contact, Busujima Yako seemed to have contacted Matsumoto Akira again.

During the school day, she talked to Matsumoto Akira, Suzuki Sonoko and Xiaolan many times.

Before she knew it, she had established a good relationship with Xiaolan and Suzuki Sonoko, and they had gone from being ordinary classmates to close friends.

So much so that when they were in school, Matsumoto Akira felt that his boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Xiaolan was far less close than the friendship between Xiaolan and Suzuki Sonoko and Busujima Yako.

Fortunately, neither Suzuki Sonoko nor Busujima Yako are weird best friends, otherwise Matsumoto Akira would have a headache.

However, after school that day, what Matsumoto Akira didn't expect was that when he reluctantly followed Xiaolan to wait at the Maori Detective Agency and gathered with her girlfriends to go out for fun, he actually ran into a familiar face!

"I didn't expect to see you here again. I almost forgot about it! I think I saw news that you and Detective Maori's daughter are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship!"

Hattori Heiji sat in his seat and slapped his head in annoyance. He had clearly learned the relevant information before, so how come he had forgotten it all here?

Kogoro Mouri and Conan immediately looked at Matsumoto Akira with great interest, wondering how Matsumoto knew this famous high school detective from Osaka.

"Why are you here? I don't remember that it's holiday in Osaka now!" Matsumoto Akira looked at the calendar. Tomorrow is not Saturday or Sunday, and they still have classes tomorrow.

"Going to class? As a famous high school detective, it's normal to have some privileges like this, right?"

Hattori Heiji is also aware of this problem, but fortunately the school he attends can increase its popularity because of his identity as a famous detective.

Thanks to this, he basically had no problems taking leave, only slightly lower than those top students.

After all, detectives are quite popular in this world, because there are always murderers who appear inexplicably in this world and always commit crimes in strange ways.

As long as he is still studying in that school, he will more or less bring a certain amount of exposure to the school and attract some fans who yearn for him.

It is normal for the school to give him some convenience for these reasons. Just like when Matsumoto Akira asks for leave or simply does not go, the teacher will prepare a leave note for him.

Even though his reputation was not prominent, Matsumoto Akira had a certain reputation as a detective, not to mention that he had straight A's, always topped the charts, and was also an all-rounder in sports.

For such a student, the school has no other demands but to hope that he stays in school until graduation. During this period, Matsumoto Akira can serve as publicity material for the school.

There used to be a Kudo Shinichi, but who could have made him suddenly disappear without a trace some time ago?

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Akira had a flash of inspiration and instantly figured out why Hattori Heiji appeared here.

"You didn't come here just to chase after Kudo Shinichi, did you?"

"There are reasons for this, but my original idea was to come and see the recently famous detective Maori Kogoro! Another reason is to confirm whether Kudo Shinichi is really missing!"

Hattori Heiji did not completely nod, but he also made it clear what he was thinking about this trip.

"But Shinichi was commissioned by his parents to go abroad to solve a case, and he hasn't returned yet!" Mao Lilan responded subconsciously.

"So even though he didn't announce it to the public, he actually told you his whereabouts?"

Hattori Heiji looked at everyone present who looked as if they had known this for a long time, and he grimaced in pain.

I analyzed so much before coming here, but you all know the result!
