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

After half an hour.

After everyone boarded the ferry to Mermaid Island, Lin Mo felt the atmosphere around him becoming increasingly strange.

First of all, the person is wrong!

In the original story, this case only involved five main characters: Kogoro Mouri, Ran, Conan, Heiji Hattori, and Kazuha Toyama.

But what about now?

Not only am I here, but Sonoko has also come to join the fun!

Secondly...

The atmosphere is really weird!

Sonoko awkwardly scratched her toes the entire time, seemingly trying to persuade Ran, but Ran completely ignored her and was much closer to her than ever before.

Where's Conan?

He looked at me like I was his father's killer. Did I accidentally dig up his family's ancestral grave?

And that Hattori Heiji too, he also had a hostile look on his face, as if he'd never even seen you before?

Although Kogoro Mouri didn't say anything, the way he looked at me was as if I had stolen his little darling.

Throughout...

Only Yuanshan and Ye seemed clueless, which actually made Lin Mo feel more at ease with them.

no way!

Because I don't understand the situation myself!

The stern of the ship.

Lin Mo, who had just finished using the restroom, looked at Yuanshan Heye, who was leaning against the railing at the stern of the ship, staring blankly at the sea, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Ok……

I have to say!

At this moment, a gentle breeze was blowing through He Ye's long, flowing hair, and coupled with her delicate profile, she truly gave Lin Mo a very perfect feeling.

Lin Mo came to her side: "He Ye, have you noticed...?"

"How so?"

"Everyone seems pretty strange today!"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Yuanshan and Ye nodded in agreement.

Obviously.

She felt the same way!

"Yeah, that's really strange!"

"When Heiji and I left Osaka today, Heiji gave me a very excited feeling, as if she wasn't going on vacation, but rather going to fight somewhere."

"Then, after seeing everyone, I felt that Ran was acting strangely, as were that brat Conan, Sonoko, and Uncle Mori..."

"Everyone seems a bit off!"

"Lin Mojun, do you know why?"

At this moment, Toyama Kazuha's eyes began to gleam.

Obviously.

Looking at Lin Mo in front of her, she felt as if she had found a kindred spirit.

She had obviously known the Mori family for a long time, and had even met Sonoko several times, so she had a certain understanding of everyone's personalities.

But what about today?

She felt that everyone's personality was off. Sometimes she even wondered if everyone else was perfectly normal and that it was her brain that was malfunctioning.

Seeing Lin Mo now, she finally realized that there was nothing wrong with her mind.

in contrast.

Something's really off about everyone today!

Lin Mo shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't know either."

"But everyone's personality today is completely different from usual, it even gives me the creeps."

"But it's alright!"

"I've finally found a normal person. At least I have someone to talk to on this trip."

Yuanshan and Ye nodded.

She shared the same feeling as Lin Mo: thankfully they had found someone like them, otherwise this journey would have been truly torturous!

Followed by.

The two of them naturally started chatting together, and didn't even bother to go to the front deck to see that group of obviously mentally unstable guys.

Until—fifteen minutes later.

Hattori Heiji, who happened to be using the restroom, turned green with rage upon witnessing the scene before him.

Hold the grass!

Did I get my tower stolen?

He rushed over and blocked He Ye's path, asking, "Lin Mo, what are you doing?"

"Chatting!" Lin Mo asked, bewildered.

He was a little confused; why was this guy acting strangely again?

Then.

He bypassed Heiji Hattori and went straight to Kazuha Toyama: "Let's go get some coffee, it's on me!"

The distant mountains and leaves seemed somewhat lost.

Under normal circumstances, she would definitely stay by Hattori Heiji's side.

but……

Forehead!

Heiji Hattori seems a bit off his mind today.

So, forget it!

Therefore, at Lin Mo's invitation, after a moment's hesitation, she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, sure!"

After saying that.

Kazuha Toyama followed behind Lin Mo, and the two went to the coffee shop inside the ferry terminal together.

Hattori Heiji: "..."

He looked completely bewildered.

Watching the two figures leave, he felt a chill run down his spine.

It's numb!

What's going on?

Weren't you here today to stand up for your good brother, Shinichi Kudo?

But, damn it!

What did he care about avenging his brother? He couldn't care less about that now.

after all……

Although he and Kazuha Toyama did not officially establish a romantic relationship, they still cared about each other in their hearts.

At the very least.

Seeing Toyama Kazuha following Lin Mo, Hattori Heiji felt very uncomfortable.

and so!

So-called brothers, go to the side first.

Childhood sweethearts are still the most important!

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji immediately ran after him, saying, "Wait for me, I want coffee too!"

……

Ten minutes later.

Inside the cruise ship, in a booth.

Looking at the large group of familiar faces around him, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Good guy!

I had originally planned to invite Kazuha Toyama for coffee, but in less than ten minutes, everyone had come over one after another.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford coffee, but the atmosphere today was strange, so even Lin Mo didn't want to stay any longer.

Not long after.

Lin Mo found an excuse to come to the ship's deck, and soon after, Toyama Kazuha also found an excuse to come out.

Obviously.

The two of them were somewhat on the same wavelength today.

Seeing Kazuha Toyama emerge, Lin Mo couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Heiji Hattori come along?"

"He's been entangled with that brat Conan." Kazuha Toyama shrugged.

Lin Mo's lips twitched; he didn't know how to respond.

Really...

There's always something that can subdue another!

A few minutes later, Sonoko also came out.

She seemed to see through everything, so she came to their side: "Lin Mo, He Ye..."

"Have you noticed that the atmosphere is a bit off today?"

Lin Mo, Yuanshan, and Ye nodded immediately upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Sonoko finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looks like I guessed right!

She knew it!

Why did Lin Mo and Yuanshan He Ye act as if they were old friends when they first met?

After all that, it turns out we're just in the same boat!

To be honest, just thinking about this garden gives me a headache.

But after thinking about it, she sighed.

She felt it was better to tell the truth, and also to give the two of them some mental preparation.

As for whether telling this matter gave Lin Mo a chance, or whether it was unfair to Shinichi Kudo?

Hehe!

She couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

That idiot whose mind is only focused on cases—let Shinichi Kudo just go and get married while carrying around cases.

Sonoko Suzuki doesn't care if he dies!

After taking a deep breath, Sonoko immediately spoke.

She recounted everything that happened to Xiaolan after she left Lin Mo's house last night.

Lin Mo understood instantly after hearing this!

Thinking about the friendship between Heiji Hattori and Conan, and the relationship between Conan and Shinichi Kudo, Kazuha Toyama roughly understood what was going on today!
