Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 2. Investigation Arrangements
Speaking of which, when was the last time a senior official with a code name died?

After a careful recollection, I found that the last senior official who died seemed to be Scotch whisky
At the time, Scotch was suspected of being an undercover agent sent by a secret service agency to infiltrate the organization, and was then executed by another senior cadre.

Who executed Scotch?

Oh, it’s rye whiskey Shuichi Akai. That’s okay, rye has been confirmed to be an undercover agent sent by the FBI, so the accusation against Scotch whisky must also be reconsidered.

It's really just a thought, because Scotch is dead, and a dead person is not worth wasting the organization's resources on.

In the end, the matter was left unresolved.

When Scotland died, Lin Longma's status was not high enough, so it had no impact on him.

But this time, Lin Longma will definitely not be able to escape and will definitely be in the center of the hurricane.

"Tequila was killed in the explosion, not even a trace of his body was left, right after he spoke to me on the phone."

Gin withdrew his gaze from the one-way glass. Lin Ryoma could see that Doi was at a loss, and Gin could naturally see it as well.

Gin knew that Tequila's death probably had nothing to do with the intelligence lines under Hayashi Ryoma, but the cause of Tequila's death needed someone to investigate.

"Lin Longma, investigate the cause of Tequila's death. I want to know who dared to kill someone from our organization."

Gin looked murderous, just like Mr. Huang whose horse was killed.

Lin Ryoma did not refuse Gin's order. Strictly speaking, all the cadres with code names in the organization are senior cadres.

People like Lin Longma, who don't have a code name but have their own base and a large number of subordinates serving them, are the organization's middle-level management and naturally the backbone of the organization.

"Got it. I'll arrange for someone to investigate. By the way, can I take Doi with me?"

"can."

After Gin finished speaking, he came to a microphone, pressed the switch and said into the microphone: "Release him."

The two people in the interrogation room obviously heard what Gin said, one was surprised and the other took it for granted.

After Gin arranged to release the people, he turned to Lin Longma and said, "Put aside the other tasks for now, and investigate as soon as possible."

"I see."

Lin Longma turned and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, Doi and his men were already waiting for him outside.

"Brother Ryoma." When Doi saw Lin Ryoma, he knew that his elder brother would rush over to rescue him the first time he was in trouble. He was deeply moved for a moment.

"Let's go, let's talk about it when we get back."

Lin Longma nodded to Vodka, then led the way out. When he walked out of the bar, the car was already waiting at the door.

Doi ran to the back door diligently to open the door for Lin Longma, then went around to the other side to get in the car.

The men who came with Lin Longma got on the passenger seat as usual, and the driver lightly stepped on the accelerator and drove towards their base.

"How is Gin's interrogation room?" Lin Longma carefully looked at Doi next door, and only looked away after finding that he was indeed not injured.

“To be honest, it’s not that great, Brother Longma, I’m still confused.

Gin's people took me back to the interrogation room and started asking me random questions. I still don't know what they want to ask."

"Tequila is dead."

Lin Longma leaned back in the back seat with his eyes closed, saying the same words as Gin.

Doi's reaction was exactly the same as Lin Longma's. Doi sat up straight, turned his upper body towards Lin Longma and asked in shock: "What?! Tequila is dead?!"

"How is that possible? I remember that Tequila was carrying out a simple trading mission, right?
I was the one who compiled and analyzed the information about Mantiantang Game Company. This is impossible, isn't it?"

Then Doi realized why he was captured by Gin's men.

A mission so simple that it could be done with just the hands actually resulted in the death of a senior official. Doesn't Doi, who was responsible for the intelligence support of this mission, become the biggest suspect?

"Brother Ryoma, this..." Doi wanted to cry but had no tears. This was really an unexpected disaster. It was also thanks to Lin Ryoma's protection of his shortcomings, otherwise according to Gin's previous character, he would have used some means on him long ago.

“Kaneda, have someone check whether Tequila has made any enemies since coming to Tokyo.

By the way, check if there is anyone in the organization who has a problem with Tequila."

Kaneda, who finally got his name in the passenger seat, picked up his phone and started making calls. After a few calls, he half turned around and said to Lin Longma in the back seat:

“Brother, Tequila is from Osaka, and his relationship with the senior officials in Tokyo is not very good.

But if we talk about the one with whom I have the worst relationship, it should be Gin."

"Tsk" Lin Longma had also heard about the bad things between Tequila and Gin. Tequila had a long career and worked for many years, so according to the social system, he should be considered Gin's senior.

But gin never buys into this, not to mention that gin’s status is higher than that of tequila.

It is not uncommon for the two to speak sarcastically when they meet, and they will not meet unless it is necessary.

If Tequila died, Gin should be happy.

"Let's put Gin aside for now." Lin Longma made a quick decision: "There are so many tasks piled up in Tokyo right now. Once Tequila dies, all the tasks will be piled on Gin.

Although Gin has little patience, he is not that anxious. "

"By the way, let's have someone check out the situation with the Mantiantang game company. Tequila should be attending their press conference today, right?"

"It's the press conference of Mantiantang Game Company." Doi explained, "Today is the press conference of Mantiantang Game Company's new game. It is said that it is a mystery game authorized by a famous detective.

Tequila's trading partner is someone from Mantiantang Game Company. Should we investigate Brother Longma's trading partner as well?"

"Check, and by the way, check what happened at the press conference."

"I understand, Brother Longma."

After Doi agreed, he also began to contact people and asked them to investigate the situation of the game launch conference.

After Lin Longma returned to the base, the following information was also sent up.

First, the information from Kaneda: Tequila was probably warned by Gin after coming to Tokyo from Osaka. Except when he was on a mission, he was usually quite low-key.

At best, they would smash the table in an underground casino because they couldn't afford to lose, or they would vandalize things in a bar after getting drunk.

Anyway, every time Tequila got into trouble, he managed to escape successfully by relying on his tall stature, strong martial arts skills, and many weapons on him.

According to the information, each of these people had a reason to kill Tequila, but none of them would use so many bombs to kill Tequila.

The body was blown to pieces. This method of killing has a bit of revenge in it, and it must be the kind where the grudge is serious.

Unless it's revenge for one's father's murder or hatred for one's wife being stolen, one wouldn't blow a person to ashes.

Next is the information from Doi.
