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

"Distant! Mountains! and! Leaves!"

"What are you doing?"

"Let's go, let's go right now!"

Hattori Heiji, who was already seething with anger, exploded at the sight before him and immediately tried to drag Kazuha away.

There's no way around it, it's just too frustrating!

He felt annoyed just looking at Lin Mo, because he kept thinking that his unfortunate journey must have something to do with Lin Mo.

and so.

He now lacked even basic manners, and this behavior caused Toyama Kazuha to frown slightly, feeling a bit annoyed with Hattori Heiji for the first time.

That's so rude!

Although she liked Hattori Heiji, she liked the sunny, cheerful, spirited, and righteous boy. But now, his utterly impolite manner instantly planted a thorn in Toyama Kazuha's heart.

like……

Heiji Hattori wasn't as perfect as he had imagined!

but.

She didn't immediately lash out, just like Ran's change in Shinichi Kudo. These things take time to change. After all, the two had been childhood friends for so many years, and their deep feelings were unlike those of ordinary couples who had just started dating.

But this time...

Even though Toyama Kazuha still harbored feelings for Hattori Heiji, she felt a little uncomfortable. For the first time, she shook off Heiji's hand and solemnly bowed to Lin Mo, apologizing, "Lin Mo-kun, I'm so sorry!"

"Heiji is probably under a lot of pressure; he was really too rude today!"

"I apologize on his behalf. I'm sorry!"

Hattori Heiji looked completely bewildered.

What the hell?

He clearly couldn't understand why Toyama Kazuha was apologizing.

and……

Or should I apologize on my behalf?

Lin Mo is definitely a problem. Even though he can't produce any evidence, his subconscious tells him that Lin Mo is definitely not a good person!

He couldn't help but ask, "Kazuha, you..."

"Heiji, shut up!" Kazuha Toyama interrupted him directly.

Her tone was very firm as she looked at Hattori Heiji with such seriousness.

Yes!

Even if she likes Heiji Hattori, she is no longer Ran Mouri. Kazuha Toyama is determined to do what Heiji Hattori cannot make her compromise.

On matters of principle, we will never back down!

"Alright, Kazuha."

"Don't be so serious. I'm not angry, and I don't blame Hattori Heiji."

"It's understandable that people have varying degrees of closeness or distance."

"Heiji Hattori and Conan are such good friends, and Conan and Shinichi Kudo are also good friends. Because of Ran, my relationship with Conan isn't great. As Conan's friend, I understand that Heiji Hattori has a problem with me."

"Besides..."

"Actually, I'm pretty much the same. My true friend is you—Kazuha!"

"I don't care about Heiji Hattori, since we're not really friends. As long as you, whom I consider a friend, don't have any issues with me, that's enough."

"I don't care about anyone else!"

"In this life, you'll meet many people, and there are plenty of those whose tempers and personalities clash with yours. If I get angry at just one of them, how am I supposed to live?"

"So—it's really unnecessary!"

"However, true friendship is like water, pure and simple. Since you and Hattori Heiji are friends, I respect my friend's choice."

"Your friend isn't feeling well right now, so I won't keep you any longer. You need to spend time with your friend too."

"Like I said, don't worry about me."

"If you have time in the future, please don't refuse when I ask you to go on a trip."

Lin Mo spoke, his tone gentle.

However, although her words seemed to be comforting Toyama Kazuha, every sentence actually carried a hidden barb, constantly tearing apart their relationship.

He twisted Hattori Heiji's disrespect towards him into a personal relationship between him and Conan.

Incidentally...

She generously expressed that she didn't care, and said that the friend she cared about was Kazuha Toyama herself, and had nothing to do with Heiji Hattori.

Tea!

Even though Lin Mo hadn't studied it in his previous life, he had watched too many short videos. In this island nation in 1996, he could just pull out a random one and it would be a sure kill.

at this point……

Hattori Heiji's ashen face and his frustrated expression, as if he wanted to refute but couldn't find the words, were enough to prove that although his tea skills weren't great, they were still sufficient for a young man like Hattori Heiji.

Thinking about this, Lin Mo felt even happier.

Very good!

Although Toyama apologized on behalf of Hattori Heiji, seemingly indicating that Hattori Heiji held a high position in her heart, Lin Mo deduced from the slight discomfort in her eyes that a crack had appeared in their relationship.

With a gap created, things will be much easier afterwards!

As long as you don't give Hattori Heiji a chance to make amends, and you let that gap get bigger and bigger, then you'll have plenty of opportunities to break up this couple.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

As Lin Mo had imagined, Toyama Kazuha's expression relaxed considerably.

She also felt that Lin Mo was a really good friend in many ways. He was so understanding and had a gentle tone. It was really nice to have such a friend.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on her face: "Lin Mojun, I accept you as a friend."

"Then let's arrange a time to travel together in the future. Right now, I really need to keep Heiji company, so I won't bother you today."

"Bye-Bye!"

Lin Mo immediately waved his hand in response.

Followed by.

Kazuha Toyama glared at Heiji Hattori before storming off outside.

Hattori Heiji felt increasingly frustrated!

He felt like something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Finally, sigh!

After letting out a helpless sigh, she glared at Lin Mo before storming off from Lin Mo's manor.

Honestly...

He was unaware of the problem between himself and Kazuha Toyama. On the contrary, he felt that he needed to have a good talk with Kazuha Toyama, let her know that Lin Mo was not a good person, and remind her that it would be best to stay as far away from Lin Mo as possible in the future!

Lin Mo had no idea what Hattori Heiji was thinking, and even if she did, she would only offer a comment...

Too young!

Women are emotional creatures.

Once she forms a fixed opinion about someone, it's very difficult to convince her, even if you have evidence, let alone convince Heiji that there is no evidence.

In the current situation, the more Hattori Heiji slanders her, the more disgusted Toyama Kazuha becomes!

She didn't think Lin Mo was bad; on the contrary, she only thought Hattori Heiji was petty.

joke!

Whether it was Ran or Kazuha Toyama, Lin Mo never actively slandered Shinichi Kudo or Heiji Hattori when he interacted with the two women. On the contrary, he tried his best to evaluate them from a fair perspective...

Only Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori, when they themselves have problems, will inadvertently take the opportunity to kick their enemies while they are at fault, and for this they have to actively package it as a deduction.

Lin Mo thought Hattori Heiji's idea was suicidal!

If he really did that, his reputation in Toyama Kazuha's heart would only continue to decline.

"Ran-neechan, I'm going to check on Heiji-nii!"

"Conan..."

Just as Lin Mo was pondering, Conan also ran out.

Xiao Lan felt somewhat embarrassed upon seeing this.

But considering there wasn't much to talk about if he stayed any longer, he said goodbye to Lin Mo and left the manor to find Conan and the others.

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo did not try to stop him, but instead smiled and saw him off.

No rush...

Haste makes waste!

Since the timeline has already become messed up, I have plenty of time to take my time.
