Chapter 210 Acquired Again
Ze Yu coldly and ruthlessly broke the honest uncle's fantasy and told him the reality.
As soon as he finished speaking, the honest uncle fell silent, a look of reluctance appeared on his face, and he clenched his teeth.
Of course he understood what Ze Yu said, but he had no choice but to do this.
Killing Mr. Zhang Tian could extend the life of the cinema for a little longer, but this was the best he could do.
If the cinema has not recovered after this period of time, it will still face bankruptcy.
However, with competition from other cinemas, what qualifications does this old cinema have to compete?
In the end, it will eventually go bankrupt.
Faced with all this, neither the curator, the receptionist nor the honest old man could do anything.
"Of course I understand what you said, but what can I do?" The honest uncle shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"There are many ways to solve this problem." Ze Yu smiled confidently, "For example, renovating the cinema to give this old cinema new life, and changing some aspects of the cinema, as well as the issue of film sources..."
The honest uncle couldn't help but interrupt him: "But these require money, and we have no money."
"But I have money." Even though he was interrupted, Ze Yu remained calm and said slowly: "Let's make a deal. If you are willing to surrender yourself, I will have someone buy this cinema and invest money to renovate it. What do you think?"
The honest uncle was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and hesitantly said, "Little boy, are you kidding? Where did you get the money?"
At this point, he no longer denied the fact that he was the murderer and chose to acknowledge it, but he felt very suspicious.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to believe Ze Yu. He still likes this smart kid very much and doesn’t mind trusting him.
It was because what the other party said was so exaggerated that he couldn't believe it.
Just with such a casual sentence, you want people to buy this cinema and invest money to renovate it?
How can it be that simple?
"What, you don't believe it?" Ze Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, he took out a mobile phone from his pocket, and made a call in front of the uncle.
"Is that Akiko? I have something to trouble you..." Ze Yu said a few words and hung up.
He looked up at the honest uncle, smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Why don't you make a bet? Within ten minutes, this cinema will be bought. If what I said comes true, then you must also fulfill your promise and turn yourself in. Do you dare?"
The honest uncle was slightly stunned, and then a sincere smile appeared on his face: "Little friend, if what you said is true, then why should I not dare?"
"Okay, it's settled." Ze Yu nodded and opened the door: "Let's go out."
…………
Seeing the two of them coming out of the room, Inspector Megure was a little confused, but he didn't want to meddle in their affairs.
In response to the puzzled looks from his friends, Ze Yu responded with a smile without any explanation.
The honest uncle's eyes flickered slightly, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself and said nothing.
In fact, he has made up his mind.
Even if the kid was lying to him and the cinema was not bought and funded, he still had to turn himself in.
If his secret had not been exposed, he could still get away with it, but now that it had been exposed, he didn't want to continue pretending.
Moreover, the other party might not be lying to him.
Maybe a big force will come and buy their cinema?
Although he knew that this was unlikely, the honest uncle still had some expectations in his heart.
I hope the other party won't lie...
If Ze Yu knew his thoughts, he would definitely find it funny. After all, he would definitely do what he said, so how could he lie?
Out of pride, Ze Yu usually doesn't bother to lie to others.
About five minutes later...
The curator's cell phone suddenly rang. He smiled apologetically and answered the call in front of everyone.
After some communication, when the curator hung up the phone, his face was full of surprise.
When Inspector Megure saw this scene, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling, and so did his friends in the Junior Detective League.
"Everyone, I have good news to tell you." The curator said cheerfully, keeping everyone in suspense.
Officer Megure asked tentatively: "Your cinema... has been acquired again?"
When he said the word 'again', his tone was rather heavy, and it was obvious that he was deeply impressed by the last case.
"Hey? How did you know that, officer?" The curator widened his eyes in surprise, feeling very unbelievable.
Is this Inspector Megure so amazing? He can even guess something like this?
“……”Inspector Megure’s mouth twitched and he felt speechless.
It was just as he expected!
Unexpectedly, he would encounter such a thing again.
Is it true that the big powers these days all like to make acquisitions after something bad happens to small powers?
Officer Megure closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked again: "Is it the Hanai Group?"
The last time, after the "Godzilla Murder Case" ended, he specifically investigated and found that the force that acquired the "Godzilla" movie series was the Hanai Group.
And today, the movie being played in this cinema happens to be the "Godzilla" series.
What a coincidence.
So, it won’t be them again this time, right?
"Huh...how did you know?" The curator was stunned.
It would be fine if he could guess it once, but how come the other party even knew who the force that acquired their cinema was?
Could it be that this police officer knew this information before them?
"...I knew it." Megure was helpless.
This result was not what he expected.
Even the members of the Junior Detective Team felt familiar with the scene before them.
"Why do I seem to have seen a similar scene before?" Yuan Tai scratched his head and asked puzzledly.
"Genta, have you forgotten? This was the result of the last 'Godzilla murder case'." Mitsuhiko was also surprised and reminded, "This is the second time now."
Knowing the truth, Haibara Ai and Conan looked towards Ze Yu with inquiring eyes.
Ze Yu smiled and confirmed their guess.
Only he would be so kind as to support these small forces that are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Ze Yu is not stingy with his kindness towards these forces that have dreams but are forced to face bankruptcy due to reality.
Inspector Megure stroked his chin thoughtfully.
