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

After half an hour.

After finishing Lin Mo's flatbread, Curaçao and Tequila left the manor in high spirits.

Next.

They need to find a suitable place to live first, then move in, buy furniture and appliances, and also work on the basement, etc.

Only after things have completely settled down can the two of them officially begin working!

Lin Mo watched the two leave, a smile always playing on his lips.

He was genuinely happy!

After all, it's not easy to find a suitable ox or horse in this world.

What now?

Not only was his authority within the organization elevated, but he also received two top-tier assistants as a bonus...

As one's power grows, it's hard not to be happy!

Setting down his teacup, Lin Mo said, "Butler, have Junhui come over here."

"Yes, sir." Butler Ochiai left upon hearing this.

Not long after.

Shimabukuro Kimie, dressed in a well-fitting maid outfit, knelt down opposite Lin Mo, and Lin Mo's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing her.

Ok……

It's really beautiful!

The staff at Lin Mo Manor are basically the same as those at other conglomerates in the island nation, consisting entirely of Victorian-style British maids, with some simple localization modifications.

but.

It was definitely not the modified, cute short-sleeved maid outfit found in the later Akihabara maid cafes, but rather a more practical, uniform housekeeping style.

As the head maid, Shimabukuro Kimie is even more exquisite than ordinary maids.

"How is it?"

"Are you getting used to it?"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes, but his tone remained gentle.

And, in response to this.

Kimie Shimabukuro nodded solemnly: "Life is better than before. After all, before, I could see the end of my life at a glance."

"Especially after graduating from university, there are very few opportunities to leave the island."

"I am very satisfied with my life now!"

"Working normally is very relaxed, and after get off work I can go wherever I want. On holidays I can enjoy life even more freely."

"However, sir."

"I'm still a little worried. I could actually sense the detective who left earlier..."

"He's got his eye on me!"

Kimie Shimabukuro is indeed very satisfied with her new life.

but.

She is still very anxious about her future.

After all, the way Hattori Heiji and Conan stared at her before still made her feel like she had a thorn in her side.

And, in response to this.

Hearing these words, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile.

Good guy!

Heiji Hattori is just a high school student, and Conan is even more of a kid, yet he can put such terrifying psychological pressure on Kimie Shimabukuro?

Is this the main cast?

No wonder in the original work, even without evidence, Conan and Heiji Hattori were able to find ways to trick the other party into confessing...

It's confirmed now!

Damn it.

This cheat is even more outrageous than my own!

Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh.

"First of all, there's no evidence!"

"This world values ​​the rule of law and the principle of presumption of innocence. What are you afraid of if the other party has no evidence?"

Secondly…

"That Osaka black chicken, he's just a high school student!"

"The other one is just a child. Why are you, an adult, afraid of two kids?"

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be fine."

"Didn't you see anyone from the Metropolitan Police Department, or even anyone come looking for you?"

"No detective can represent anyone; the Metropolitan Police Department is the law enforcement agency, understand?"

"If the Metropolitan Police Department hasn't contacted you, it means that in their eyes, you're not even a suspect!"

"So, listen to me."

"From now on, just live your life in peace; there's no need to worry about things that aren't even real!"

"Even if we take a step back and the detective does get incriminating evidence, I can hire the best lawyer to defend you."

"Your enemy killed your mother first; you are simply avenging her."

"Believe me, he won't get a long sentence."

"Once you're in prison, I, your boss, have connections there too. Do you think it'll be difficult for you to get a reduced sentence through meritorious service?"

"If I buy you a few more invention patents, you can get at least three more reductions in your sentence!"

"so……"

"At most you'll stay in prison for a few months, and don't forget there's always the option of medical parole."

"Do I have no one else at the hospital? Is it so hard to get you a medical record?"

"Is it possible to get medical parole?"

Lin Mo spoke eloquently, his eyes full of disdain.

Obviously.

He genuinely didn't take this matter seriously; in his view, it was no big deal at all.

Not to mention that the Metropolitan Police Department can't find any evidence at all, even if they did find evidence and arrested Shimabukuro Kimie, what difference would it make?

If Lin Mo wanted to, there were countless ways to get Shimabukuro Kimie out!

and……

And all of them are legal channels!

There's absolutely no need to make her go from the light to the shadows, to have her work for you in secret.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Kimie Shimabukuro was completely dumbfounded!

She was just an ordinary person who graduated from an ordinary university and returned to Mermaid Island. She never imagined that the way rich people played would be so outrageous and exaggerated.

This moment.

She even felt that her previous struggles were nothing but a joke!

Just as Lin Mo said, firstly, the Metropolitan Police Department has no evidence, at most only suspicion; secondly, even if they do find evidence to arrest him, his boss seems to be able to handle the matter easily.

Hey!

After letting out a helpless sigh, Shimabukuro Kimie felt strangely and suddenly relaxed.

seemingly……

You're overthinking it!

She was like a little girl who felt it was raining outside but kept worrying about not having an umbrella. Only after she actually left the room did she suddenly realize that it wasn't raining at all!

"Thank you, sir!"

"Okay, sure!"

In response to Shimabukuro Kimie's gratitude, Lin Mo simply nodded.

immediately.

After a brief moment of thought, he spoke again, saying, "The title of head maid is just a title on the surface. What I truly value in you is your archery skills and disguise abilities."

"You must practice a lot regularly, so you don't mess up at the crucial moment!"

Kimie Shimabukuro nodded quickly.

really……

If Lin Mo hadn't reminded her, she would have completely forgotten about this!

no way.

Since arriving at Lin Mo's manor, she has completely integrated into it and is even working hard to fulfill her role as head maid!

Now that Lin Mo reminded her, she finally realized what was going on.

Yes!

If it were merely the position of head maid, it wouldn't be worth Lin Mo going to such lengths, even going so far as to help him take revenge in order to win him over.

"Yes, sir!"

"I will practice my archery and disguise skills regularly, and I will also do a good job as the head maid."

"You can rest assured about that!"

Kimie Shimabukuro took a deep breath, and her tone became serious.

Obviously.

She was truly grateful to Lin Mo!

Therefore, she decided that she had to do a good job not only in archery and disguise, but also in her work as the head maid.

otherwise……

She felt she had let Lin Mo down!
