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

The entire bar was deathly silent.

Everyone looked at Lin Mo with extreme envy, especially Bourbon, whose eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

He's jealous!

Considering how long he has been a member of the organization, how much he has worked diligently for it, even getting his hands stained with blood and stepping into the dark mire, one can imagine how much he has done.

But what was the result?

Forget about advancing to a higher level like Amaretto, he hasn't even received an advancement trial.

He was unaware that Amaretto had just joined the organization; otherwise, he would have been absolutely furious. Even so, he was still quite aggrieved and believed that there was definitely something wrong with the organization's promotion rules.

otherwise……

How could a man like myself, with a 100% completion rate, not even qualify for a trial mission?

And more importantly, how about getting yourself into the penetration testing team?

joke!

He had worked diligently in the intelligence group and had finally gained Rum's trust. Even though he hadn't received notification of the promotion trial yet, he believed that if he continued to work hard, there was a high probability that the organization's promotion mission would come.

If I join the penetration testing team now, won't I have to start all over again?

More importantly, he couldn't see through Amaretto!

Although he had never even met Rum, he had been in the intelligence group for so long that he had figured out Rum's personality, temperament, and character. He was confident that he would thrive in the intelligence group.

But what about Amaretto?

I worked with him on this mission, but I couldn't figure him out at all!

I initially thought Amaretto's mission was to drag Matsumoto Kiyonaga down with him. During this time, he had been relentlessly targeting Matsumoto Kiyonaga, but at the same time, he was trying his best to protect him...

What now?

Matsumoto Kiyonaga was not implicated at all, but Amaretto's mission was accomplished?

What does this prove?

This proves that Amaretto's task was not to drag Kiyoharu Matsumoto into the mess at all.

I have been tricked!

If I really join the infiltration team, can I outmaneuver Amaretto?

Will we be exposed?

Therefore, he is quite opposed to it now, and is even preparing to raise his hand to refuse.

But, unfortunately.

Before Bourbon could speak, Lin Mo spoke up first.

"I disagree!"

"Since you're going to help me form an infiltration team, then Gin and Rum, you two should be a little more generous!"

"The action team needs vodka; the intelligence team needs Curaçao!"

Lin Mo spoke, his words resounding.

joke!

Kiel and Bourbon, those two fake liquors, he only wanted to use them to do something during the mission.

To bring them under my command? Absolutely not!

Although the two fake liquors did have some effect, he didn't want to personally direct the operation.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

As Lin Mo spoke, Bourbon was completely dumbfounded.

Hold the grass!

Am I being rejected?

Although I didn't really want to join the penetration testing team, he was quite unhappy about being disliked.

And Curaçao?

Does the intelligence team have such a person?

Obviously.

Bourbon, standing before him, did not think of Curaçao!

But, similarly.

Before he could even speak, Gin interjected, "Don't even think about it, vodka is absolutely out of the question!"

"As for Curaçao, I also suggest you give up. Rum will definitely not give it to you."

"Of course."

"You can contact Rum yourself!"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Mo nearly flew into a rage.

but.

Even if Gin said that, he absolutely wouldn't want those two.

Thinking of this, he immediately dialed Rum's number.

After a while.

After Rum answered the phone, a familiar electronic voice came through: "Amaretto, congratulations! What do you want?"

"I don't want Bourbon, I want Curaçao!" Lin Mo didn't waste any words.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Upon hearing this, Rum fell silent.

In fact, he was not satisfied with Curaçao, because Curaçao had a kind heart, and this weakness was destined to cause problems.

but……

Curaçao is so useful!

So he went to great lengths to erase Curaçao's memories.

During this period, Curaçao seemed very obedient, but he actually knew there was a big problem, because brainwashing is not invincible and can easily go wrong if you're not careful.

If Curaçao regains her memory, it will cause another major upheaval.

only.

Even though Curaçao has many problems, compared to Curaçao's special circumstances, he is still a trump card in Rum's hand!

But considering that I don't seem to need Curaçao's help lately, it might be a good thing if I could send Curaçao back to the island nation, to change my environment and mood.

As for being recruited by Lin Mo?

He doesn't believe it!

The organization's brainwashing techniques are very strong. As long as he can be brainwashed regularly at intervals, he believes that Curaçao will still be his weapon.

What about Lin Mo? He's not worried!

After all, he had all the information on Amaretto, and he firmly believed that Lin Mo was definitely not an undercover agent or anything like that. Therefore, after pondering for a while, he chose to compromise.

no way!

Amaretto was considered one of their own, a member of their small circle, and he was willing to give him this much face.

After a moment's hesitation, Rum spoke.

"Curaçao, no!"

"I also really need Curaçao's help, but I don't have much to do lately, so I can lend you Curaçao for a while."

"If I need her, you must not prevent her from returning!"

"Amaretto, have you thought this through?"

"If you choose Bourbon, he will become your private soldier."

"If it were Curaçao, she could only be temporarily seconded!"

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo was excited to hear this. Although it wasn't handed over directly to him, it was enough for the time being, even if it was just a temporary transfer.

As a time traveler, he knew Curaçao's personality weaknesses.

Even if it's just for this short period of time, he's confident he can turn Curaçao to his side!

At that time...

Curaçao volunteered to join him, and he and Rum could simply exchange resources. At worst, if Rum encountered any problems in the future, Curaçao could be sent over to help temporarily.

He believed Rum would agree!

As long as it doesn't affect Rum's mission, the other party won't care who owns the knife.

Yes!

Each person's private power is their exclusive domain, and no one else is allowed to have a say in it.

The rest doesn't matter!

Anyway, the organization is just a black glove, something that is destined to be abandoned and discarded.

These things are all negotiable!

Curaçao falls into the category of disposable items.

Because of her weak personality and repeated brainwashing, Rum was destined not to let her join his private faction.

"Okay, no problem!"

I owe you a favor; I'll treat you to a meal next time.

Lin Mo agreed without hesitation.

Rum, on the other end of the phone, chuckled and said, "No problem, I'll have dinner with you when I get back to Japan."

"I will give your contact information to Curaçao, and then the two of you can contact each other privately."
