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

Conan was really frustrated and had an urge to smash everything!

At the very beginning.

He didn't actually take the dark organization seriously; in his eyes, it was just a slightly troublesome criminal gang. However, the subsequent investigation put him in a very difficult situation.

Even though he moved into the Mori family's house and got involved in many cases, he still couldn't find any trace of the organization!

It was during my last ride on the Shinkansen that I happened to learn the code names for Gin and vodka.

Even without finding any clues about the organization, the use of liquor names as code names within the organization made it clear that it was a large criminal organization; otherwise, there would be no need for such a code name system.

Moreover, on that Shinkansen train, the other side even dared to pull out a bomb, as if they were going to blow up the entire train.

This further demonstrates that the organization's madness and arrogance have far exceeded the limits of ordinary criminal organizations.

But that's all he gained!

Gone.

The investigation team gained nothing; instead, they encountered serious problems in their personal relationships!

During this time, Xiaolan became increasingly perceptive.

What made it even more difficult for him to respond was that Xiaolan no longer questioned him like she used to.

If Xiaolan had questioned him like she did at the beginning, he could have found a way to stall. But now, instead of questioning him, she simply watches him at the crime scene, without disturbing or interfering...

This put him under immense pressure!

Lin Mo's appearance, in particular, and Xiao Lan's words today, really made him panic.

What should I do?

Both lines have failed!

While investigating the dark organization, she finds herself in trouble, and her own relationship also faces a major crisis.

but……

Conan is Conan, truly deserving of the title of protagonist!

The fact that he couldn't be hit would only make him stronger. After a brief moment of thought, he took a deep breath and said firmly, "I will absolutely not tell Xiaolan the truth. I cannot drag Xiaolan into danger."

"My parents don't need it either!"

"I will definitely resolve this matter."

At this moment, the famous detective's eyes burned with fire.

Dr. Agasa let out a soft sigh.

He knew Conan's stubbornness well, so he didn't say much now. However, he was certain in his heart that he would contact Conan's parents after Conan left, not because of the children's romantic troubles, but because that Black Organization was too dangerous.

Even though Conan didn't gather much information, it was enough to demonstrate how dangerous and terrifying it was!

Professor Agasa tried to speak: "Shinichi, putting the organization aside for now, how do you plan to deal with Ran's situation?"

Upon hearing this question, Conan was instantly embarrassed.

However, after pondering for a long time, his tone became serious: "I don't know, let's just give a rough estimate for now."

After saying that.

He took Shinichi Kudo's cell phone from Professor Agasa's house.

Ok……

It's also a top-tier mobile phone!

These days, everyone has this kind of phone, and Conan is no exception.

As for the keychain phone developed by Dr. Agasa, that was something that appeared quite late in the story, and the current Dr. Agasa doesn't have that kind of ability.

Even the mobile phone in front of him was bought by Conan with his allowance, just so he could contact Ran!

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~

Five or six seconds later, Xiaolan answered the phone: "This is the Mouri Detective Agency."

"Ran, it's me!" Conan said.

He used a voice changer with a bow tie and spoke into the phone.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

About twenty seconds later, Ran's voice came again: "Shinichi, what's up?"

Upon hearing this, Conan felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

He didn't expect Xiaolan to be so calm, without her usual worries and questions, just like when she was facing an ordinary classmate.

After taking a deep breath, Conan continued, "Ran, I heard it from Conan!"

"I am currently handling a tricky case, could you please give me some more time?"

"I will finish this as soon as possible and then come back to find you immediately."

"I……"

Unfortunately, it's a pity.

Conan wanted to say something more, but Ran interrupted him before he could finish.

Ran's voice was calm: "That's enough, Shinichi."

"Whatever you're busy with has nothing to do with me."

"We're just ordinary classmates, aren't we?"

"I have no right to interfere in your affairs. You just need to take care of yourself."

"That's all, you go ahead with your work."

"It's dead!"

After saying that.

Without giving Conan a chance to refute, Ran immediately hung up the phone.

Conan, holding the phone, simply froze in place.

At that moment, his mind went blank!

He clearly hadn't expected Xiaolan to have this expression, and all the things he had prepared in his mind never got a chance to be said.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Dr. Agasa sighed softly, unsure how to comfort him.

Much later.

Looking dejected, Conan turned off his phone and went into the room that Dr. Agasa had prepared for him, locking himself inside.

Dr. Agasa did not stop it.

He also felt that Conan should be given some time to calm down and think things through.

inside the room.

After pondering for a long time, Conan called Heiji Hattori.

"Hey, this is Hattori's house!"

"Hattori, it's me."

After the other end answered the phone, Conan said, "I've run into a little trouble, Ran, she..."

After pondering for a long time.

After taking a deep breath, Conan briefly explained the situation.

Heiji Hattori looked conflicted after hearing this.

emotion……

He doesn't understand this either!

On the other end of the phone, Hattori Heiji was scratching his head in frustration.

At last.

He offered a terrible suggestion: "We're about the same size and look similar, so why don't I put on some extra makeup and impersonate you to meet Xiaolan?"

Upon hearing this, Conan collapsed in disbelief!

The thought of Heiji Hattori's damn Osaka accent instantly killed the idea.

"No, please don't!"

I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it at all!

"I'll figure out this myself. Actually, it's not too difficult to deal with Xiaolan. After all, Xiaolan and I are childhood friends, so I know Xiaolan's personality very well."

"The important thing is, Lin Mo!"

"That damn guy, he's been eyeing us like a hawk."

"He already has a girlfriend, yet he keeps trying to seduce Xiaolan..."

"what!"

"I'm so angry!"

"Can't you think of a way to get rid of him?"

"As long as we can get rid of that bastard, I believe there won't be any problems with Xiaolan."

"..."

Conan became more and more agitated as he spoke, as if he had found an outlet for his emotions, and he even started swearing.

This alone is enough to show that he is really unhappy with Lin Mo!

That damned guy who stole my girlfriend! It was because of that bastard that my relationship with Xiaolan had problems.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji immediately became interested.

"Oh, I see!"

"Isn't Lin Mo going to Mermaid Island tomorrow? I, Hattori Heiji, will have to go and meet him then."

"Don't worry, Kudo!"

"I can't do anything about you and Ran, but your rival is about the same age. I, Hattori Heiji, will stake my reputation on making that guy run away in a panic and never dare to show his face in front of Ran again."

"Ha ha!"

"I can't wait for tomorrow! It's going to be really interesting!"

"Kudo..."

"See you tomorrow, watch me do it!"
