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

"Alright, everyone."

"The investigation ends here tonight. The Metropolitan Police Department needs time to find the person, and we've already found most of the clues we could. There's no point in continuing."

"Seal the site; that's all for tonight."

"Let's rest first, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"

After making the call to the Metropolitan Police Department, Shiratori Ninzaburo yawned and immediately issued instructions.

Obviously.

He really didn't want to continue investigating the case. After all, he had already dealt with two cases today and was hoping to get a good rest tonight. But a phone call at two in the morning woke him up.

And they even went to the island...

So, forget it!

There's no point in thinking too much; all he wants to do right now is sleep.

even……

He's starting to regret it!

Investigating three departments within the First Division—that's inhuman!

How come there are so many cases every day? I really don't know how Inspector Megure manages to keep up!

So...

Should I transfer?

No, forget it!

Inspector Megure is absolutely right. Although investigating the Third Division of the First Investigation Section is tiring, the rate at which you accumulate merit is incredibly fast!

More importantly, the detective solves almost 90% of the cases, and he doesn't have to bear any consequences; on the contrary, all the credit goes to him.

and so……

Let me set myself a small goal first: spend a year in the first department of the investigation division, and then try to transfer to another position.

Thinking about this, Shiratori Ninzaburo even felt a little envious of Inspector Megure.

He's really enjoying a good life!

After all, SIT has a relatively relaxed schedule, and they don't usually need to handle cases.

At this moment, Shiratori really wants to change!

But considering that Inspector Megure already had plenty of merits, while he himself was far from having any, he decided to wait out a little longer.

No need for much, just endure a year!

Lin Mo was unaware of this, otherwise he would definitely have exclaimed, "Awesome!"

A year in the world of Detective Conan?

Just keep enduring it!

They endured it all without saying a word; that's a process that takes at least twenty or thirty years!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Conan and Heiji Hattori were anxious about Shiratori Ninzaburo's choice, but they also knew that continuing would be pointless, so after a helpless sigh, they reluctantly accepted it.

Followed by.

When Conan and his friends returned to the guesthouse and saw Lin Mo chatting happily with the three women, Conan and Hattori Heiji's faces immediately darkened!

It's numb and tingling.

We've been working ourselves to the bone on this case!

Where is Lin Mo?

Not only did he not help at all, but he also flirted with women at the guesthouse, and these women were their childhood sweethearts and potential girlfriends.

But that's not even the most infuriating part...

What's most infuriating is that there's no way to stop it!

Since neither Conan nor Heiji Hattori has formally confessed their feelings to Ran or Kazuha Toyama, strictly speaking...

She's not their girlfriend, so what right do they have to throw a tantrum?

finally.

The two could only join the chat, and then they started making sarcastic remarks, completely ruining the originally harmonious atmosphere.

The three women were quite unhappy about this!

On the contrary, Lin Mo generously said that he would chat with everyone again in the future, but the key point is that Conan and Hattori Heiji will not be involved.

Lin Mo's magnanimity earned him applause from the three women.

As for Conan and Heiji Hattori, they looked like clowns at this moment!

……

the next day.

It was 11 a.m.

Not long after everyone woke up in a daze, Shiratori Ninzaburo "voluntarily" approached them.

Obviously.

As Inspector Megure's personal disciple, he has no urge to solve cases on his own, only the ease of using the "free" nuclear-powered bull and horse.

"Everyone..."

"The Metropolitan Police Department has located Kimie Shimabukuro and questioned her specifically about this matter."

"Shimabukuro Kimie left the island around 11 a.m. last night after the dugong festival, and two of her friends can testify to that..."

"and."

"After Kimie Shimabukuro left the island and returned to Tokyo, her friends went to a bar in Shibuya to relax in order to celebrate her new life."

"The bartender and several customers at the bar all remembered Shimabukuro Kimie, and they were willing to testify for her..."

"So, it's a real shame!"

"Shimabukuro Kimie has a complete alibi; it can be confirmed that she is not involved in this case!"

"In addition..."

"A large number of handguns, submachine gun bullets, and grenade shrapnel were found at the crime scene. Shimabukuro Kimie has lived on a small island since she was a child, and she has never had the opportunity to join any yakuza organizations or other forces."

"Therefore, from any perspective, Kimie Shimabukuro can be ruled out as a suspect."

"After internal analysis by our Metropolitan Police Department, we have decided to classify this as an internal power struggle within a yakuza organization. At least until new evidence or leads emerge, this decision cannot be overturned!"

"The Metropolitan Police Department's next focus of investigation will be whether the deceased owed money to yakuza organizations, and whether the victim had any connection with yakuza organizations."

"Now I'd like to ask if anyone has anything to add?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo spoke calmly.

Yes!

In any case, he didn't really care whether the case could be solved or not; frankly, he was just going through the motions.

If it's confirmed to be related to the Yakuza, then it won't fall under the jurisdiction of the Third Division of the First Investigation Section. He'll transfer the case to the Fourth Investigation Section after he gets back...

after all.

The Fourth Investigation Division is specifically responsible for dealing with yakuza organizations!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Upon hearing Shiratori Ninzaburo's words, Conan and the others were instantly stunned.

no way!

They never imagined that the clue they had painstakingly found would be lost so easily...

How could that be?

It is highly likely that it was Shimabukuro Kimie, whose mother's death was the motive for the crime.

But, unfortunately!

Kimie Shimabukuro's alibi is too strong; not only can her friends vouch for her, but even strangers at the bar can vouch for her.

Of course.

You could say that Shimabukuro Kimie hired someone to commit murder, but the problem is they had no evidence!

We'll have to catch the culprit from last night and get them to accuse Kimie Shimabukuro.

but……

The possibility is extremely low!

Since this case involves a yakuza organization, and given what yakuza organizations are like in Japan these days, they certainly know.

The Fourth Investigation Division is trying to find a breakthrough—it's too difficult!

Moreover, they weren't familiar with the Fourth Investigation Division, so once the case was handed over, these detectives would have almost no chance to get involved.

Because the Fourth Investigation Division doesn't buy into detective stuff!

Moreover, even if they intervened, it wouldn't make much sense. After all, detectives can investigate ordinary people, but you're asking them to investigate yakuza groups?

Hehe!

Before you could even investigate, they'd already sunk you in Tokyo Bay.

That's not a case detectives should be dealing with!
