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

inside the room.

Shimabukuro Kimie's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her brain began to work at lightning speed.

Surrender?

No, she doesn't want to!

Even though she has now personally killed people, she has only killed those who deserved to die, and essentially she still considers herself a good person.

They were forced into doing something wrong!

and so.

She didn't consider herself a bad person, and clearly didn't want to join the ranks of this guy who obviously wasn't a good person.

However, the same applies.

The other party has already obtained evidence of your murder, and more importantly, you are no match for them. Should you really give up your revenge?

She didn't want to!

After all, the hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable, and one's revenge has already begun. Therefore, if one chooses to refuse, the other party can still deal with one!

No need to do anything else, just call the police!

and……

Why did she have to play so many tricks, even plotting to kill someone with a mermaid? The truth is, it's because her life has just begun, and she doesn't want to actually go to prison.

otherwise.

Why not just kill them directly? Why go through all these fancy tricks?

After taking a deep breath, she looked at Lin Mo: "You want to subdue me, so—what's next?"

"What do you want me to do?"

obviously.

Cornered, Shimabukuro Kimie wanted to hear about Lin Mo's situation first before deciding what to do.

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo didn't waste any words. He shrugged and slowly said, "Officially, you'll be my head maid, but you're likely to encounter some shady things on my end."

"So your disguise skills can come in handy, and I easily attract a lot of hostile forces, so they might resort to desperate measures."

"Your skills are not bad, and you have decent archery skills. At the very least, you can protect yourself without any problems."

"More importantly, you have good character."

"You value your mother's promises, have clear likes and dislikes, play the role of the mermaid you didn't want to play, and can still smile gently when facing a murderer. Your shrewdness has caught my eye."

"I must say, he's a real talent!"

"My background is much shallower than that of other chaebols. I don't have any specially trained chaebol children from a young age, and I can't recruit for many important positions in the market."

"no way!"

"I have no choice but to suffer a bit and go out to find talent myself."

Lin Mo let out a long sigh, his face filled with helplessness.

Yes!

He genuinely envied other chaebols who didn't need to worry about much; their families had chaebols trained from childhood, so they only needed to maintain internal stability.

But what about myself?

Everything needs to be considered, and core personnel also need to be trained by ourselves!

the other side.

When Shimabukuro Kimie heard these words, she was completely stunned.

What is that? A head maid?

This is quite different from what I imagined.

At last.

She couldn't help but say, "You went to all this trouble just to find yourself a head maid?"

"What else?" Lin Mo shrugged.

Before Shimabukuro Kimie could speak, he continued, "You think the head maid isn't important? That only proves you're too young."

"That's the position in my manor where I manage all the maids."

"And she's also one of my informants, responsible for keeping an eye on all the maids to prevent anyone from doing anything dangerous..."

"For example, poisoning or something!"

"This position needs to be held by someone truly trusted, especially someone I can rely on. During this time at my estate, I would rather leave this position vacant than simply find someone to replace it."

"That's about it. What's your choice?"

"Oh, right!"

"I also need to emphasize that you still need to do some dirty work; special situations can easily occur on the manor."

Upon hearing these words, Shimabukuro Kimie breathed a sigh of relief.

Hmm, it's alright...

At the very least.

It's not some kind of yakuza organization or underground force!

Having realized this, Shimabukuro Kimie instantly made up her mind: "I'm willing to be your head maid. You won't stop me from taking revenge, will you?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen!" Lin Mo said.

After saying that.

Lin Mo continued, "But your plan is too crude, so let me handle this."

"You'll be my head maid, and I'll take care of this for you!"

Kimie Shimabukuro looked completely numb.

and many more……

This doesn't make sense, does it?

You're someone who can afford to live in a manor, you must at least be a big boss, so why would you be willing to do this for yourself?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "May I ask who you are?"

"Just a small business owner," Lin Mo shrugged, then spoke again, "You don't need to be so surprised."

"The higher you climb, the fiercer the competition becomes!"

"That's why I'm telling you directly that you'll definitely be tainted by darkness in the future."

"As my head maid, you're always by my side, so you must have witnessed a lot of the dark side of things."

"For an ordinary person like you, killing someone in revenge is a big deal."

"But for someone of my caliber, this is actually not a big deal at all."

"Pack your things quickly tonight. I'll take care of your enemies tonight, and you can leave with me first thing tomorrow morning."

Yes.

For Lin Mo, this was not a big deal at all.

Moreover, this was only because Shimabukuro Kimie didn't mention it, and Lin Mo was too lazy to go through all that trouble. Otherwise, let alone killing these guys directly, it would be common for him to use normal means to put them in prison and make their lives a living hell.

Of course.

Since Shimabukuro Kimie didn't mention it, Lin Mo naturally didn't bother to say anything more.

after all……

Why make things so complicated when you can solve them easily?

They're not my enemies, so I can just make do with whatever I can.

Then.

He immediately called Keisuke Oshima and ordered his team to secretly sail over and resolve the matter completely that night!

"Oshima, remember this."

"The bigger the spectacle, the better. Make it look like a yakuza organization collecting debts and silencing witnesses. Don't let the Metropolitan Police Department or detectives associate this with personal revenge."

"Get it done tonight, quick!"

After Lin Mo hung up the phone, the matter was considered resolved.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Shimabukuro Kimie was somewhat surprised, even a little frightened, after all, she was just an ordinary person and had never seen Lin Mo act like this before.

but……

Thinking of the depictions of wealthy families in movies and TV dramas, she sighed deeply, unsure whether her choice was right or wrong.

But never mind!

Since the decision has been made, even if it leads to bitter consequences, I have to swallow it all alone.

At last.

Taking a deep breath, she spoke again: "There's one last problem: the island's inhabitants won't let me leave."

"After all, my mother is dead, and the village needs me to play the role of the longevity matriarch. The dugong festival is the village's biggest source of income."

"So, I'm afraid..."
