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

Amuro Tooru fell into deep thought.

The excitement of having won over Kiel was now like being doused with cold water.

I felt completely chilled to the bone!

He had originally intended to report this information to his superiors, but he slowly put down his phone, and his mind began to race.

But, unfortunately.

At best, he was just a high-level employee. Without understanding the true situation of the organization, he couldn't possibly guess what the higher-ups were thinking.

intelligence……

Why is this the most important thing in modern society?

Because unless you have access to intelligence, even if you are the smartest person in the world, you can't guess what the big shots are really thinking.

Jingle Bell!

Just as he was thinking, the organization's phone rang.

Amuro Tooru took a deep breath, put aside his speculations about his superiors, and then took out his phone to check it.

"Intensify the slander against Matsumoto Kiyonaga; ultimate goal: attempt to recruit him." —Amaretto!

His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the intelligence report, his gaze instantly turning sinister.

To recruit—Matsumoto Kiyonaga?!

That's the current superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, and he'll soon become the head of the First Investigation Division.

A high-ranking police superintendent!

Even within the entire Metropolitan Police Department, if he successfully rises to a higher position after a period of time, he can be considered a high-ranking bureaucrat.

What now?

The organization actually wanted to win over such a high-ranking bureaucrat?

What does the organization want to do?

and many more……

Is this an experiment by the organization? Or has it been done before?

If it's the first point, then that's fine. But if the organization started doing this a long time ago, how many people has the organization recruited in the Metropolitan Police Department by now?

What are those people's positions now?

Thinking about this, Amuro Tooru felt a chill run down his spine.

Unforgivable!

He even went a step further: if the Metropolitan Police Department had organized undercover agents, then did other public service units also have organized undercover agents?

What about the police department?

If even the police department is being infiltrated, can I still trust my colleagues?

and also……

He remembered hearing from other members of the organization that some said Rum was a man who looked like a woman, others said he was an old man, and still others said he was a strong man.

But the only thing that remained the same was that Rum seemed to be blind in one eye.

He's a one-eyed wolf!

And his direct superior also seemed to have lost an eye.

Damn it!

Surely his superior, Kuroda Hyōe, isn't actually that legendary Rum from within the organization?

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

but……

He quickly calmed down, because if Kuroda Hyoue was Rum, then why would he need to go undercover?

impossible!

However, we cannot let our guard down. After all, if there are undercover agents in the Metropolitan Police Department, then there might be some in the National Police Agency as well.

You'd better be careful with your superior!

What if you accidentally expose yourself to a problem?

Although I don't know the truth, my experience with Kir and Shuichi Akai is enough to show that those top figures definitely have other ideas about the Black Organization.

At the very least.

The evidence before us almost certainly confirms that they are unwilling to completely eliminate the dark organization, but only want to secretly monitor it!

Be careful!

I must be very careful from now on!

Even with one's superiors, one should not reveal the whole truth in the future; it is most appropriate to keep some things to oneself.

"No rush, take your time!"

"I will definitely investigate this thoroughly."

Amuro Tooru spoke in a somber tone.

After pondering for a long time, he took a deep breath and picked up his private phone.

After dialing Yuya Tsurumi's number, he immediately began issuing orders: "Have our people intensify their efforts to smear Matsumoto Kiyonaga from all angles. Make it as big as possible, ideally so that everyone notices it."

"However, this is a performance for the organization, so you need to ensure the following three points!"

"First: Confirm that Matsumoto Kiyonaga has no scandals. So no matter how much fanfare we put on the surface, we must protect him in reality."

"Second: I must be genuine and not let the organization know that I am just going through the motions."

"Third, and most importantly."

"We must never reveal our identities, neither to Matsumoto Kiyoshi nor to the organization. We absolutely cannot let them notice anything amiss."

"Let's make arrangements as soon as possible!"

On the other end of the phone, Kazami Yuya was going crazy!

Damn it.

My boss is becoming increasingly inhumane.

Listen to this...

What kind of ridiculous task is this?

Even though the National Police Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department don't get along, those two are truly on the same side.

But what about now?

They're actually helping the organization turn against their own people?

But alas!

He also knew that this was not Amuro Tooru's intention, and the only one to blame was the new member of the organization—Amaretto!

Before this guy came to the island nation, where did the organization get all these bullshit missions?

But there was nothing we could do!

Even though he felt incredibly frustrated, he still went to complete the task and did it as perfectly as possible.

otherwise……

If it affects his leader's undercover mission, he will not only be punished, but he might even be dismissed.

"Okay, I understand!"

"I'll arrange it right away!"

Upon hearing Kazami Yuya's words, Amuro Tooru immediately hung up the phone.

but.

Before he could even catch his breath, his private phone rang again.

When Amuro Tooru managed to answer the phone again, Kir's voice came from the other end: "Amaretto gave me a mission: to do everything in my power to manipulate public opinion and ruin Matsumoto Kiyonaga's reputation as quickly as possible!"

Upon hearing Kir's words, Amuro Tooru was completely certain.

That's right!

Amaretto's objective is now completely clear.

The goal is to win over Matsumoto Kiyonaga, drag him into the organization's schemes, and make him a loyal henchman.

"Do it!"

"The organization's mission must be accomplished."

"Of course, no need to worry!"

"Matsumoto Kiyonaga is an honest man. Even after investigating for so long, I have not found any blemishes on his record."

"I will definitely protect such an outstanding police officer."

"I swear I won't let him get dragged into this!"

Amuro Tooru's tone was full of certainty and confidence.

Yes!

Now that Amaretto's core objective has been thoroughly investigated, he naturally has a hundred ways to protect Matsumoto Kiyonaga, thwart the organization's objective, and prevent them from finding him.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After hearing Amuro Tooru's words, Kir finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I understand!"

"I will complete the organization's mission well. I'll leave Mr. Matsumoto Kiyonaga to you, Bourbon, for protection."

"Keep going, and take good care of yourself!"

After saying that.

Without saying a word, Kiel immediately hung up the phone.
