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

The Tottori Prefectural Police did not understand, but expressed their respect.

that's it……

The group headed towards the Takasugi family's villa, but the final outcome surprised everyone, as the entire villa was deserted.

Of course!

Due to the extreme time constraints, the peripheral members of the organization in Tottori Prefecture did not conduct a thorough cleanup of the scene; they simply took all the bodies with them and sank them into the sea.

therefore……

Following a joint investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department and the Tottori Prefectural Police, they found countless bloodstains, brain matter, and bullet craters.

With just a little digging, the forensic team can unearth one deflated bullet after another from the walls, the ground, and the wooden beams.

"The incident occurred a few hours ago."

"Further investigation is needed; this is just a preliminary assessment."

"A fierce gunfight once took place here, but considering that no bodies were found, and that the villa is located deep in the mountains, there are actually no security cameras, either inside the villa or on the roads outside..."

"So, I'm sorry!"

"..."

As soon as the forensic personnel spoke, the expressions of everyone present turned extremely grim.

no way.

Judging from the situation at the scene, firstly, this was a gang crime, and secondly, this is a typical unsolved case.

Forget about evidence, there wasn't even a clue!

There are no suspects here; let the detective play a three-choice game.

Almost instantly.

Neither the Tottori Prefectural Police nor the Metropolitan Police Department had any intention of conducting an investigation.

On the one hand, it's useless!

Without even the slightest clue, how can this case be investigated?

Secondly...

If the wrong culprit is found, will they still be held responsible after the incident?

So, forget it!

As if they had planned it in advance, everyone immediately began following the established procedures.

Secure any useful "evidence" from the scene, take photos of various bloodstains and bullet holes, and then everyone skillfully goes home to their own homes.

As for how this case should be investigated in the future?

I hope a famous detective will come along and become interested in this case!

……

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

It's 3 PM.

Most of the returning officers went back to rest, but Shiratori Ninzaburo and Inspector Megure arrived at Matsumoto Kiyonaga's office.

"Manager Matsumoto, mission failed!"

"The murderer entered the scene before us, and the entire Takasugi family disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead."

"The investigation at the scene revealed a large amount of blood and bullet holes."

"This time..."

"We recorded the entire process!"

"We originally hoped that SIT and the three departments of the First Investigation Division could gain more experience in joint investigations, which is why we chose to record it in advance. We never expected things to turn out this way."

After saying that.

Inspector Megure handed the case file and videotape directly to Kiyoshi Matsumoto.

Matsumoto Kiyoshi's lips twitched.

Good guy!

As expected of Inspector Megure!

Before I could even figure out how to shift the blame, they had already taken care of everything.

Even if Inspector Megure didn't say anything bad about the Tottori Prefectural Police, if every word he said was implying that the Metropolitan Police Department would have been able to complete the mission if the Tottori Prefectural Police hadn't been delayed, it would have been a serious matter.

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga couldn't help but glance at Shiratori Ninzaburo.

What incredible luck!

With Inspector Megure, a seasoned veteran, looking after him, Shiratori Ninzaburo was able to avoid many pitfalls within the Metropolitan Police Department.

Yes!

If it weren't for Inspector Megure, if he hadn't been able to find a scapegoat this time, he would definitely have made Shiratori Ninzaburo take the blame.

But now...

Since Inspector Megure had already found a scapegoat for him, he didn't want the Metropolitan Police Department to take the blame, so he took a deep breath before speaking slowly.

"The Tottori Police Headquarters, huh..."

"Okay, I got it!"

"This videotape is indeed very important; just leave it here with the case file."

"I'll handle the specifics!"

"You two must be tired too, go back and get some rest."

"Everyone involved in the operation will get three days off to rest!"

Matsumoto Kiyotaka spoke in a relaxed tone.

After hearing his words, Inspector Megure and Shiratori Ninzaburo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hmm, it's alright!

With Matsumoto Kiyonaga's words, it proves that the blame has already been shifted.

Followed by.

The two bowed before leaving the office.

Not long after.

After the two of them had actually left the Metropolitan Police Department building and arrived at the underground parking lot, Shiratori Renzaburo solemnly spoke: "Inspector Megure, we owe you a great debt this time, otherwise..."

He was having trouble continuing!

Because he knew very well that if it weren't for Inspector Megure, he would have ended up taking the blame for his recklessness and haste.

Although it seems like a trivial matter, at most it would only result in a disciplinary action, and wouldn't even affect salary or position.

but……

Every time he gets promoted in the future, this disciplinary action will be a troublesome matter!

And, in response to this.

Inspector Megure simply patted him on the shoulder, his tone becoming very serious.

"Remember this advice I taught you: never rush."

"It's better to miss out on great achievements than to make any mistakes!"

"It's not terrible to walk slowly, but you must be as steady as possible."

"Your promotion might seem slow now, but with the Shiratori family backing you up, you'll progress faster and faster as time goes on!"

Obviously.

This is a truth that Inspector Megure has only slowly come to understand after a lifetime in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Shiratori Ninzaburo nodded.

He was convinced!

Especially when he entered the Takasugi family villa this morning, his heart sank instantly. If it weren't for Inspector Megure's prior planning, he would have gained no benefits from the opportunity his family had secured, and he would have become a laughing stock among the other zaibatsu heirs.

At last.

He silently decided in his heart that he would go back and have a good talk with his father.

The family needs to increase their support for Inspector Megure. Even if they can't promote him for the time being, they should at least provide his family with some assets.

Take a look at the family businesses, pick a few good subsidiaries, and give Inspector Megure some shares!

Inspector Megure's child is about to graduate, and he needs to figure out how to make arrangements for him.

In addition...

Inspector Megure's wife is a housewife, and since she's idle at home anyway, he lets her register a few companies outside. The Shiratori family's professional team will handle the operations, and the Shiratori family will be responsible for the upstream and downstream businesses...

It won't be long before a stable industrial mix is ​​achieved!

That's right.

Although this investment seems to be very expensive, Shiratori Ninzaburo believes it is worthwhile!

Based on Inspector Megure's words of advice, which helped him avoid this enormous pitfall, he decided to repay him accordingly.

Anyway...

The Shiratori family isn't short of money!
