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

Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.

Sitting next to Xiaolan, listening to Shiratori Renzaburo's words, he couldn't help but smile to himself.

Yes!

Since he dared to arrange for Shimabukuro Kimie to leave, he would naturally have prepared a complete plan.

The bartenders and customers at the bar were actually members of the organization. Even Shimabukuro Kimie's so-called friends were actually a few classmates from the neighboring Madara University who had never had any contact with Shimabukuro Kimie during her university years, whom Lin Mo had found by using the organization's peripheral influence.

This arrangement is foolproof!

after all……

Although island nations in this era have surveillance cameras, they are only found in important public institutions or perhaps the core areas of certain private companies, and the penetration rate is frighteningly low.

Even if Shimabukuro Kimie had a motive to kill, with this group of witnesses, it would be impossible to cause her any trouble!

more importantly……

An ordinary girl like Kimie Shimabukuro wouldn't commit a crime like last night!

Pistols, submachine guns, grenades...

No normal person would believe that Kimie Shimabukuro could have accomplished such a feat!

As it turns out, Lin Mo was right!

Even though Conan and Heiji Hattori were very unhappy, they still believed that Kimie Shimabukuro was highly suspicious, but they could never produce any evidence.

and……

Furthermore, this case will soon be transferred to the Fourth Investigation Division, making it even less likely that Conan and Heiji Hattori will get involved!

"Officer Shiratori, is there really no room for negotiation?"

"That Shimabukuro Kimie is highly suspicious. Although I haven't figured it out yet, she has already created an alibi for herself, but she definitely has a motive to kill the three victims."

"Could you please give us a little time, even just to see Kimie Shimabukuro?"

"Believe me……"

"Give me this opportunity, and I'm sure I can find a breakthrough!"

Hattori Heiji was quite unwilling.

Even though he knew the request was a bit excessive, he still couldn't help but say it.

no way!

As Hattori Heizo's only son, he lacked nothing growing up, especially since his father was a policeman, which fostered his sense of justice.

just now……

He genuinely believed that Shimabukuro Kimie was highly suspicious, so he was unwilling to let the murderer go so easily!

Upon hearing this, Conan quickly chimed in, "Officer Shiratori, please trust Heiji this once!"

Obviously.

He shared Hattori Heiji's opinion: even though the existing clues had nothing to do with Shimabukuro Kimie, he still trusted his intuition as a detective.

Shiratori Ninzaburo: "..."

Hearing what the two said, he instantly felt a headache coming on.

Conan is easy to deal with; he's just a kid, I can easily fool him.

Hattori Heiji...

This guy is a bit difficult!

Although he had only met Hattori Heiji once or twice, and the other party had never introduced himself, as the heir of the Shiratori family, he naturally knew that the guy in front of him was Hattori Heizo's child.

The head of the Osaka Police Headquarters, a position within the Metropolitan Police Department, holds a slightly higher rank than Toshiro Odagiri, also from the Metropolitan Police Department!

after all.

He's the real top dog in Osaka!

The National Police Agency only has the authority to provide guidance, and when problems arise, they have to consult with Hattori Heizo. Unless it is a collective vote by the Public Safety Commission, Hattori Heizo dares to directly reject the National Police Agency's decision.

He certainly didn't want to provoke Hattori Heizo's children.

only……

This situation is indeed putting him in a difficult position!

After much deliberation, Shiratori Ninzaburo sighed softly, "Hattori Heiji, your father is a policeman. You should understand the importance of procedure. You're forcing me to make a mistake!"

"But for your father's sake, I'm willing to give you face."

"Three days!"

"With my current authority, I'll detain this case for three days."

"If there are still no results after three days, then I must transfer the case to the Fourth Investigation Division."

"Is this alright?"

Upon hearing Shiratori Ninzaburo's words, Hattori Heiji's expression turned grim.

even……

He had an urge to slap himself!

He understood Shiratori Ninzaburo's unspoken message: this case should have been transferred to Investigation Section 4, but they were now willing to go against their principles and "give" him the case to hold onto for three days...

but.

This isn't because of Hattori Heiji's influence, but because of his father Hattori Heizo's influence!

But, God!

He had no intention of using his family connections, since this wasn't a matter for the Hattori family. If his father found out that he had wasted his family's favors on something like this, he would definitely beat him to death when he got back!

Therefore, Heiji Hattori now wants to tell Shiratori Ninzaburo that he doesn't want to rely on the Hattori family's favors, but rather to make a personal request.

only.

He couldn't bring himself to say it!

As Shiratori Ninzaburo said, this matter was completely against procedure, and Hattori Heiji didn't have that much influence.

Now that they've agreed, are you suddenly going back on your word?

Isn't that just playing with the White Bird's house?

The Hattori family—they can't afford to lose face like this!

So Hattori Heiji was simply lifted up like that.

Fortunately!

Hattori Heizo's face was rather dark, so most people wouldn't be able to tell how embarrassed he was.

but……

Lin Mo figured it out!

He quietly approached Toyama Kazuha, covered his mouth with his right hand, and whispered in her ear, "When Hattori Heiji gets back, he'll definitely be in for a beating, and a mixed doubles one at that—do you believe it?"

"Uh..." Kazuha Toyama was speechless.

Obviously.

Hattori Heiji's stupidity left her completely speechless!

As the daughter of Ginjiro Toyama, whether she likes it or not, she must have come into contact with this kind of thing on a regular basis.

Therefore, she knew very well that Hattori Heiji had really gotten himself into trouble this time.

He actually used his family connections for the sake of solving a case, a matter of official business. Uncle Heizo and Shizuka Anichi will definitely not let Heiji off the hook.

Just as Toyama and Kazuha were feeling helpless, Lin Mo suddenly came up with a terrible idea: "Go back and tell your father about this, and then when Hattori Heiji gets beaten up, you can secretly film it with a camera."

"When Hattori Heiji comes of age, these kinds of childhood memories are worth treasuring for a lifetime."

"When you give this videotape to Heiji Hattori, I'm sure he'll be grateful to you for the rest of his life!"

Distant mountains and leaves, a black line at the top.

What a terrible idea!

She believed that Hattori Heiji would not only not be grateful to her, but would instead completely break down and become her mortal enemy.

but……

That's what they say, but it actually sounds quite interesting!

Seeing that Yuanshan and Ye were deep in thought, Lin Mo knew that the matter had probably been settled.

It's numb!

Since you, Heiji Hattori, have chosen to help Conan target yourself, then don't blame me for increasing your strength as well.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

While Lin Mo and Yuanshan He Ye were having a private chat, Hattori Heiji, despite having a headache, had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

no way!

The Shiratori family may not be as powerful as the Heiji family, but they don't do many things the way he does.

Now that the Shiratori family has agreed, if Hattori Heiji suddenly refuses, it would be a loss of face for the Shiratori family, and the situation would be even more serious than owing them face now.

"Okay, thank you!"

Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth.

Yes.

He thanked Shiratori Ninzaburo's ancestors for eighteen generations!
