The Working Emperor starts with Conan

Chapter 93: Why should I, an ordinary member, care about cadres?
  The first time he discovered the fire, Yuan Shanfei walked through the back door of the villa and rushed to the front door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

A piece of good news and a piece of bad news.

The good news is that this time it’s not the real king who sets fire to the mountains. The bad news is that this time it’s the real king who sets fire to the bridges.

The Suzuki family's villa located deep in the mountains has two roads leading to the outside world.

One is the burned suspension bridge in front of me.

The other requires walking through the woods from the back door and into the mountains.

If you're lucky enough not to get lost after climbing over a big mountain, you might encounter some people.

If Yuan Shanfei was the only person in the villa, he would go out.

Even if you take Xiaolan with you, it won't be a big problem.

But it is obviously unrealistic for the other people in the villa to get out of the mountain.

Fortunately, the person who set fire to the bridge seemed to have other ideas, and the phone line used in the villa to connect to the outside world was not cut.

I just don’t know whether the real gentleman who set fire to the bridge did not cut off the phone line on purpose, or whether he was careless.

Yuan Shanfei guessed that he was careless on purpose.

As soon as he discovered that the suspension bridge had been burned down, Toyama Tobi marked the suspect on Takahashi Ryoichi.

But although Ryoichi Takahashi had just finished his bad mouth, Mao Lilan still stayed in his room to look after him out of guilt.

Suzuki Sonoko naturally followed her best friend.

Besides, if Ryoichi Takahashi wanted to destroy the suspension bridge, there would be no need to use such an obvious method.

Any ax can cut through the suspension bridge.

Not too eye-catching either.

Unless the person who destroyed the suspension bridge really hopes that the people in the villa will find that their retreat has been artificially "cut off".

Or maybe the person who destroyed the suspension bridge was delicate and frail, and was not strong enough to swing a heavy ax to cut through the suspension bridge.

Or both
  Yuan Shanfei subconsciously looked at several girls in the crowd - Xiaolan was not included.

Not to mention using an ax, even if Xiaolan really demolished the suspension bridge with her bare hands, it shouldn't be a big problem.

The nymphomaniac Yuanzi has been staying with Xiaolan, and the suspicion has been eliminated.

Suzuki Ayako kept squinting her eyes. Even the burning of the suspension bridge was not enough to make her open her eyes. Naturally, there was no change in the expression on her face.

Finally, there is Chikako Ikeda
  'Um? Toyama Tobi suddenly discovered that the moment his eyes met, Chikako Ikeda actually looked away from her with a "guilty heart".

Was this fire set by Chikako Ikeda?
  It doesn’t make sense!

Just when Yuan Shanfei was confused, he suddenly thought that there was another person in the villa who couldn't swing the heavy axe.

Toyama Fei's eyes accurately found Conan among the crowd, who was looking at the suspension bridge in shock.

It seemed that Conan was also startled by the fire on the suspension bridge.

But Yuan Shanfei smelled something abnormal from Conan's normal behavior.

Conan probably doesn't know, but Toyama Fei probably knows him better than most people in the world.

Even if Conan has undergone some changes now.

But the world is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Those things in Conan's bones cannot be changed in a short time.

For example, under normal circumstances, Conan should be the first to rush out and investigate when encountering such an incident.

For another example, Conan should usually be the first to notice this situation, and he should stand in front of everyone. rather than among the crowd.

Conan's performance is normal for other people, but it is the biggest flaw for Conan himself.

Little buddy, where is your usual enthusiasm?

Such a big thing happened at the gate of the villa and you didn't rush out to investigate?
  You will make me feel that you have a big problem!
  At this moment, Conan's suspicion index increased crazily in Toyama Fei's heart.

But why?

Conan usually does things like rummaging through the owner's belongings without the owner's permission when investigating crimes.

Under the guise of investigation, they perform actions such as sliding doors and picking locks.

It can be said that although Conan talks all about justice and law, his acting style is full of ambiguity about legal boundaries.

The main theme is the theory of results - don't worry about how I investigated, just say whether the murderer is caught or not, and that's it!

But at least on the surface, Conan is still somewhat decent, right?
  If Conan really started this fire, does that mean that Conan doesn't even want this dignity?
  If this is the case, Conan's difficulty will be greatly increased.

But what does this have to do with Yuanshan Fei?

He is just a poor man trying to make a living in a black organization, and he doesn't even have a code name.

Is he worthy of worrying about the silver bullet?

Yuan Shanfei felt relaxed when he thought of this. Hey, you get what you pay for. This principle must be understood by both the gin brother and the rum brother, right?
  Giving up on useless thinking, Toyama Tobi turned his attention back to Conan, wanting to find out what this man's idea was.
.
  A group of people returned to the villa in a hurry, and Suzuki Ayako immediately contacted the outside world.

After hearing that their eldest and second young ladies were trapped in the villa, the Suzuki family immediately said that they would send a helicopter to pick them up first.

It was still about two hours before the Suzuki family arrived at the villa.

When they heard that someone would come to pick them up, everyone in the villa became visibly more relaxed.

Just when everyone was about to go back to their rooms to take a rest, two voices suddenly spoke at the same time:
  "Mr. Toyama, can we have a chat?"

Toyama Tobi stopped in surprise and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. It came from the disheveled Ryoichi Takahashi.

The other came from Chikako Ikeda, who looked troubled.

Both parties realized that the other party had said the same thing to themselves, and looked at each other, with a trace of suspicion flashing in their eyes.

Toyama Fei, who was originally a little puzzled when he was stopped by the two people at the same time, suddenly understood after seeing the performance of these two people.

He glanced at Conan meaningfully, smiled and said to Chikako Ikeda and Ryoichi Takahashi:

"I guess the two of you came to me for the same thing. In that case, why don't you two have a chat first?
  Come to me again after you reach a consensus? "

Neither of these two people knew Yuan Shanfei before he came to the villa. It is obviously Conan's credit to be able to call Yuan Shanfei at the same time now.

Toyama Fei didn't know why they were looking for him, but it wasn't difficult to guess.

Originally, this was a trouble that Conan threw to Toyama Tobi, but because these two people chose the right time, this trouble was passed on to Takahashi and Ikeda.

This guy Conan is unreasonable. He only got the information from Yuan Shan Fei in the first place, but sold it to Yuan Shan Fei in the back.

Yes, this style of conduct is very much like Yuan Shan Fei.

But Conan was still a little too young. It was the first time he used Toyama Fei's method to deal with Toyama Fei. Conan still left him too much room for maneuver.

No, Toyama Tobi's suggestion clearly moved Ikeda and Takahashi.

For a moment, Conan, who was staying out of the incident, was shocked.
