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

Yusaku Kudo had a bitter expression on his face.

Doesn't he realize that his behavior today seems a bit too impulsive?

he knows!

But he had no choice, because this matter was too big.

Although the Kudo family had indeed prospered in the past, it had declined by his generation. Despite being from the Teitan family, he couldn't even get into a government job.

Yes.

Kudo Yusaku originally wanted to go directly to the Metropolitan Police Department, and he had even passed the Level 1 National Police Exam, but he ultimately chose to give up the opportunity to join.

He received a phone warning because of some of the older generation's bad deeds.

later……

He chose to help the Metropolitan Police Department solve cases in the hope that his performance would attract the attention of some bigwigs within the department.

Unfortunately, he failed again!

The Metropolitan Police Department doesn't care about the case-solving rate at all. Aside from giving the Metropolitan Police Department some credit, at most they're willing to give him the title of external consultant.

Hold the grass!

Does Yusaku Kudo need this thing?

So, there's no other way!

Ultimately, Yusaku Kudo gave up his attempts and embarked on the path of becoming a detective novelist.

Originally, he thought that this life could go on like this, since he was a world-renowned novelist, and with the legacy his family had accumulated, he might be able to push Conan into the Metropolitan Police Department when he grew up.

This is also why he let Shinichi Kudo keep solving cases and building his reputation.

But unexpectedly, disaster struck!

Given Conan's current level, he is unable to trust anyone.

Including—the Metropolitan Police Department!

Who can we trust?

Yourself!

Yusaku Kudo knew his own limitations; even if he could acquire the full set of PMC licenses, he didn't have the ability to build the company.

Who to collaborate with? That's even more difficult!

If he cooperates with a power that is too strong, he will be swallowed whole sooner or later.

A person who is too weak is meaningless!

At this time, he happened to meet Lin Mo, a young man who had developed on his own but clearly lacked a solid foundation. More importantly, he was a good person and at least kept his word.

and so.

He was willing to take a gamble, even though the stakes were high, but for his child's sake, he had no other choice!

More importantly, he actually left a hook behind this deal.

That is—yourself!

He could see that Lin Mo lacked trusted confidants, and that he, Kudo Yusaku, was not considered a talent.

At the very least.

Wouldn't that be more than enough to be a strategist?

Of course.

These things can't be rushed, so Kudo Yusaku didn't recommend himself, but chose to slowly get to know Lin Mo and naturally integrate when the time was right.

He believed that since he had made such a significant offer, and if he was willing to join the other party in the future, it wouldn't be difficult for Conan to receive Lin Mo's protection.

First of all, he is a high-ranking member of the organization, and secondly, he has the PMC armed force on the surface. Even in the most dangerous situation, he can simply have Conan give up this identity and go into the underground world from now on.

At the very least.

It's still possible to save your life!

However, Yusaku Kudo also admitted that Lin Mo might change his mind.

and so……

He then said, "This is a gamble!"

Moreover, he really couldn't offer anything else in return for the previous transaction information, so he might as well use this precious opportunity to exchange for organizational intelligence while also securing a way out for his entire family.

Kill two birds with one stone, achieve two goals at once!

Although he had offered a large enough stakes, Kudo Yusaku believed it was still worthwhile compared to leaving himself a possible escape route.

Anyway, the Kudo family has some resources; even if they waste this opportunity, they still have a few tricks up their sleeve.

So, what's with the nonsense?

He took the gamble!

After thinking about this, Yusaku Kudo let out a soft sigh and then told everyone what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Yukiko and Professor Agasa fell into complete silence.

Much later.

Professor Agasa spoke first: "Judging from your conversation with Lin Mo, Lin Mo is indeed quite trustworthy. Just look at the fact that he knows Shinichi's true identity but didn't report it to the organization or take action against Conan. At the very least, Lin Mo has no hostility towards Shinichi."

"However, I think we should get some insurance."

"Lin Mo likes Xiao Lan, right? I think we should step up our efforts and help Lin Mo eventually marry Xiao Lan."

"Given Xiaolan's personality, even if Lin Mo's side is unworkable, we can still use Xiaolan as a breakthrough point."

"I believe that given Xiaolan's temperament and personality, and Lin Mo's affection for her, even if Lin Mo doesn't give us face, he'll at least give Xiaolan some face, right?"

hiss!

As soon as Professor Agasa spoke, the Kudo couple froze on the spot.

I have to say...

That's a really good idea!

Anyway, I'm already quite old, and there's a high chance I won't be able to catch up with Xiaolan, since our values ​​just don't align.

From this perspective, it would be better to grant Lin Mo's wish.

The couple might not know Lin Mo well, but they know Xiao Lan's temperament very well. If they had to ask Xiao Lan for help, she would definitely help them.

With Xiaolan asking Lin Mo for help, the chances of success are much higher!

As Kudo Yusaku thought of this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

But before he could speak, Yukiko couldn't help but ask, "This... wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"Shinichi is our son. It's one thing if we don't help Shinichi, but are we going to help Shinichi's enemies?"

"If Shinichi finds out about this, he'll probably hate us to death, right?"

At this point, Yukiko's lips twitched violently.

no way!

This was handled in a truly sinister way.

Even Yukiko, as a mother, felt for a moment that it was all too damn ridiculous.

On the other hand, Yusaku Kudo shook his head upon hearing this: "You can't even save your own life, why bother with such trivial matters?"

"That's right, Yukiko!" Professor Agasa immediately chimed in, "Survival is the most important thing!"

Yukiko fell completely silent.

For a moment, he didn't know how to face his eldest son.

How so?

Did your own parents go to help your love rival?

If Conan knew, his moral compass would probably collapse!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Unlike Kiko, Kudo Yusaku felt increasingly confident that he had made the right bet this time, and that the probability of Lin Mo helping him in the future was becoming higher and higher.

"It has to be you, Doctor!"

"The path you pointed out is quite good, and my odds of winning are getting higher and higher."

"Once I get all the licenses from PMC, Lin Mo will have the means to create his own private army. Hiding Shinichi shouldn't be a big problem."

"Yes, let's do it!"

"I'll book tickets to America right away. Doctor, you and Yukiko, since you're both free these days, try to think of some ways to help Lin Mo win Ran's heart."

"I'll try to complete the process within 20 days!"
