Detective Conan: Becoming a Zaibatsu - Starting with Joining the Winery

Matsumoto Sayuri began to fall silent.

She never imagined that her comfortable life was an illusion, essentially a utopian world where her father strictly protected her, preventing her from experiencing the hardships of the outside world.

And now?

She was still struggling with whether to continue her relationship with Toshihiko Takasugi, and at first she even resented her father's heartlessness, not understanding her feelings for Toshihiko Takasugi at all.

Now that she knows the truth, her heart is filled with bitterness!

after all……

While she was still complaining about her father and her mind was full of love and romance, her father was working hard outside!

Even though Lin Mo is speaking lightly now, and on paper the father's side has the upper hand, a rabbit will bite when cornered, not to mention that the Takasugi family is no ordinary family.

If the other party goes berserk, and the father is careless...

What should I do?

Thinking of the consequences, fear filled her eyes.

Looking at Lin Mo, who remained calm, her eyes suddenly changed.

The change was so subtle that perhaps even she herself didn't notice it.

After a moment's hesitation, she suddenly spoke: "Lin Mojun, are you really just a small business owner?"

"Yeah, that's right." Lin Mo shrugged. "Just a small-time boss."

He definitely didn't lie!

Currently, the only businesses that can be openly displayed are the entertainment company and a few smaller companies that Lin Mo selected from the batch of small businesses acquired during the L·M Group's operation and placed under his own control...

To put it bluntly, it's just for show!

After all, he had already moved into this manor to accommodate Ochiai, the butler.

If the businesses under one's control are too small, they are likely to attract the attention of other forces.

but.

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Sayuri rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding me? If you were really a small business owner, could you afford to live in a manor of this caliber?"

"I estimate that your manor has more than forty service staff."

"And those twenty-odd armed security personnel, I could feel the fear in them just by looking at them, they were definitely elite experts."

"Is this the kind of setup a small business owner can afford?"

"Can a small company's profits support all these people on the estate?"

"besides……"

"Your information sources are pretty impressive, little boss!"

"They can even rattle off secrets of the Metropolitan Police Department without any special investigation?"

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo simply shrugged, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Obviously.

He also knew that the publicly known industries were somewhat over-the-top in this configuration.

But there was nothing we could do!

Because plans can never keep up with changes, that's why he rarely makes plans. Even when he does, it's just a rough framework, because he can't guarantee that things will go according to his plan.

The same principle applies to this manor!

I originally planned to stay in Gochome for a while longer, but who would have thought that I would suddenly encounter the medieval art museum case.

Lin Mo was naturally unwilling to let go of someone like Director Ochiai, who only appeared in one episode of the original work but was terrifyingly strong and, more importantly, had impeccable character.

Yes!

Lin Mo had personally tested the strength of Director Ochiai.

It can be said that...

Aside from the fact that Ochiai's moves lacked any killing intent, Lin Mo felt that Gin would definitely be no match for him in terms of pure hand-to-hand combat skills!

and so.

In a way, he essentially built himself a manor just for a butler.

"hehe!"

"At least I have very few businesses that I can openly disclose, and I'm not lying to you about that."

"As for the Metropolitan Police Department's information?"

"That's just basic intelligence; any normal force could find that out!"

"So..."

"Nothing to be surprised about!"

As Lin Mo spoke, Matsumoto Sayuri nodded.

The industries that are publicly visible?

She instantly understood the underlying meaning of those words: Lin Mo must have many other businesses hidden in the shadows, not to be brought into the open.

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Sayuri couldn't help but ask, "Then, Lin Mo-kun, are you considered a chaebol?"

"What kind of tycoon am I?" Lin Mo waved his hand. "I'm just an ordinary person!"

"Of course..."

"If I said that, you definitely wouldn't believe it!"

So, let's just say it straight.

"I also have a boss behind me, but in terms of management, it's different from your dad's model of joining Odagiri."

"My boss is rather lax in his management style. He only occasionally assigns you some tasks, and he basically doesn't care what you do on weekdays."

"Even if you want to use that boss's resources to do your own thing, my boss will basically turn a blind eye, and occasionally, if he's in a good mood, he'll even take the initiative to do your personal things for you."

"You're probably also curious about my boss, aren't you?"

"But to be honest, I'm not entirely sure either..."

"In short, if we're making an analogy, they'd be considered among the top conglomerates in the island nation."

"They are one level higher than the Odagiri clan, belonging to the very top small group at the pinnacle of the island nation's pyramid."

Lin Mo didn't hide anything and simply explained the situation.

Of course!

A normal person definitely wouldn't understand, and Lin Mo wasn't lying.

after all……

If we're talking about something in a sense, the resources and power that the Black Organization can mobilize are even more exaggerated than those of the top conglomerates in the island nation.

Because the influence of the dark organization is not limited to the island nation; it is a multinational corporation!

but……

From this point of view alone, he seems to be much better than Matsumoto Kiyoshi!

However, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

Although Matsumoto Kiyonaga joined the Odagiri faction, Odagiri Toshiro would never send Matsumoto Kiyonaga to his death on a mission that was far too dangerous.

The Black Organization is completely different!

Anyone with even a little bit of ability can easily join the organization.

but……

If you're not tough, you can die very easily!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Upon hearing these words, Matsumoto Sayuri couldn't help but gasp.

Amazing!

The two then chatted for quite a while, and Matsumoto Sayuri's mood gradually improved.

in the afternoon.

Akemi Miyano came back ahead of schedule!

Because tomorrow is a day off, she didn't have much work to do this afternoon.

When she returned and saw Matsumoto Sayuri, she didn't show any surprise, after all, she already knew that Lin Mo couldn't possibly have only one or two women.

Lin Mo didn't say much. He simply introduced the two women and didn't hide the fact that Miyano Akemi was his girlfriend. Then he went to his study to handle his "work".

In the living room.

After a brief chat, Akemi Miyano and Sayuri Matsumoto quickly became 'friends'.

That's normal!

After all, both women are kind-hearted and not the kind of people who are difficult or scheming, so it's only natural that they became friends.

therefore.

After their relationship progressed further, Sayuri Matsumoto couldn't resist anymore.

"Mingmei..."

"When you saw your boyfriend bring me home, didn't you feel jealous at all?"

"To be honest, I don't quite understand!"
