The Working Emperor starts with Conan

Chapter 50 Sasai Nobuichi: I will never die in peace! !

Toyama Fei never does meaningless behavior. In other words, every move he makes, including every word and deed, has a strong purpose.

This is Conan's understanding of Yuanshan Fei.

It cannot be said that Conan's understanding of Toyama Fei is wrong, but it can only be said that Conan is still very knowledgeable about people sometimes.

After traveling through time, Yuanshan Fei is such a person.

Treating the entire world as his own playing field, Toyama Tobi's words, deeds, and actions naturally carry a strong sense of purpose.

He exposed part of his true self to Conan, which led Conan to have such a perception. This is normal.

So Conan began to care about Sasai Nobuichi's identity.

He is much more than just a key suspect.

At this time, Kogoro Mouri reminded Conan: "By the way, Officer Yokomori, you said Mr. Sasai is a major suspect in the shooting case.

Who was the target of the shooting? "

Whether it's finding a way to rescue Toyama Fei, or figuring out Toyama Fei's purpose.

This shooting victim is an unavoidable hurdle.

After learning that Mouri Kogoro was a detective and a former detective, Hengo Sango also disclosed the details of the case to Moori Kogoro.

It will take some time for the support from Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters to be in place. During this period, we can only rely on Yokomori to understand himself, and Mouri Kogoro and others to drag him along.

There is strength in numbers, and the detective would have received preferential treatment from the police at the scene of the incident.

"The deceased's name was Imakichi, and he was a writer who had won the Naomoto Prize.

According to our investigation, the deceased came to Saitama Prefecture together with Nobuichi Sasai.

The two also stayed in the same guest house.

After the gunfire, residents on the same floor saw a masked gangster who was about the same height and build as Sasai Nobuichi leaving the room.

And fled, so Sasai Nobuichi is a major suspect in this shooting case."

While talking about the details of the shooting, Hengo Sango added to Mouri Kogoro the details he had just asked his colleagues in Tokyo to investigate.

Sasai Nobuichi and Imatake Satoshi are peers, and they even had some unpleasantness before.

Conan didn't listen at all to what was said after Henggou realized it. When he heard that the victim's name was Imaki Satoshi, and that he was a writer who had won the Nahonbon Prize, Conan's head buzzed.

Today’s bamboo wisdom. Today’s bamboo wisdom!
  Isn't this the writer that Toyama Fei took him to visit a few days ago?

What did Yuan Shanfei say at that time?
  Conan began to recall what Toyama Tobi said to him in Imakichi's office.

"My client hopes to receive 35% of the income, and the other 5% is my commission fee."

"Don't worry, my client even wants to invite you to travel together some time."

"Don't worry, Mr. Imazuki, my client will contact you soon."

"Everyone who comes to meet Conan has a share. The money will be treated as a red envelope for your son."

"."

Paragraphs of dialogue continued to echo in Conan's mind until the words were condensed into five words.

My client.
  Toyama Tobi never mentioned the client's name from beginning to end, and Imtakechi seemed to be deliberately avoiding it.

Conan suddenly looked at Henggou Zensou: "Did Mr. Sasai Nobuichi Sasai once co-authored a book with the victim?!
  It's the book where the deceased received the direct reward! "

When Henggou Senwu heard Conan's words, he glanced at the primary school student in surprise. He nodded first and then shook his head and said:
  "When my colleagues in Tokyo helped me investigate Sasai, I heard from his friends that Sasai Nobuichi often complained to them for a while that he wrote a book with someone else, but in the end, all the limelight belonged to that person. ." "But the victim has never heard anyone mention it, and it seems to be somewhat secretive.

However, when colleagues in Tokyo learned about the situation from the deceased's assistant, they learned that someone had visited the deceased a few days ago.

After he left, the deceased was very happy. He got very drunk that day and muttered that the last hidden danger to his career had been eliminated.

He also said that he wanted to go on a trip with an old friend he hadn’t seen for a year, that is, Sasai Nobuichi over there.”

Conan turned around when he heard this, just in time to see Toyama Tobi's lips moving slightly as if he was saying something to Sasai Nobuichi.

A normal person's guess when seeing this scene is that Toyama Tobi is trying to persuade Sasai Nobuichi, or he is begging for mercy.

But Conan understood that this was definitely not what Yuanshan Fei said.

"Hurry, Officer Henggou, stop him quickly, it's almost too late!" Conan yelled at Henggou Zhenwu in horror, trying to force Henggou Zhenwu to intervene.

Of course, when Conan said to stop him, he meant to stop Toyama Fei.

Since Toyama Tobi was able to fight back and kill him on the spot when he was suddenly attacked by members of the organization, Conan didn't think that Sasai Nobuichi could control Toyama Tobi with just a kitchen knife.

But Henggou thought that Conan was talking about Sasai Nobuichi.

When Hengo Sango and Mouri Kogoro looked at Toyama Tobi and Sasai Nobuchi again, the situation in the field suddenly changed!

Sasai Nobuichi, who was still able to communicate at first, became excited again for some reason, and the kitchen knife that was originally pressed against Toyama Tobi's neck suddenly raised——

"You probably didn't have a watch on your wrist when you came here last year, right?"

After hearing Toyama Tobi's words, Sasai Nobuichi's hand holding the kitchen knife high was suddenly stunned, and he subconsciously looked at his wrist.

I saw a circle of white marks appearing on my dark wrist that should have been sunburned.

That was the mark left by covering my wrist while basking in the sun.

Last year, there was no such conspicuous watch mark on his wrist.

This means that if the alibi he originally designed is actually handed over to the police, it will be iron-clad evidence that he fabricated perjury in an attempt to escape guilt.

Tobi Toyama's act of exposing his film actually helped him?
  There was no surveillance in the hotel, so there was no way to convict him based on his body shape and height alone.

Even if he needs to go to court in the end, there will be a lot of lawyers to help him defend his innocence.

And the success rate is not generally high.

Sasai Nobuichi suddenly calmed down. He no longer wanted to use Yuan Shanfei as a backer, he wanted to live.

Sasai Nobuichi's opportunity to lose consciousness was instantly seized by Toyama Tobi.

He heard Conan's shouting, but Toyama Fei didn't think Conan would care about him so much.

This means that Conan discovered the little trick that made him rich.

This also means that the stage play directed and performed by Toyama Tobi has reached its climax.

Toyama Tobi grabbed Sasai Nobuichi's knife-holding hand and broke free from Sasai Nobuichi's restraint with a burst of brute force.

After getting out of Sasai Nobuichi's control, Toyama Tobi grabbed Sasai Nobuichi's hand and smoothly held the knife hand and the kitchen knife into Sasai Nobuichi's heart.

On his deathbed, Sasai Nobuichi looked at his hands and then at Toyama Tobi, who was standing opposite with a smile and said thank you, and passed away quietly with his heart, mind, and stomach full of questions.

The moment before Sasai Nobuichi fell, Toyama Kabi thoughtfully and skillfully helped him pull out the knife from his heart.

In an instant, blood flowed like a shot.
