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

On the other side, inside the private room.

This was a separate tea room, and Shiro Suzuki offered to brew tea for the two of them.

The three of them didn't talk about anything serious; instead, they chatted about all sorts of things. Ayako and Tomoko were not there; they were obviously outside entertaining other guests.

While chatting with the two, Lin Mo began to ponder why the Suzuki family had invited him over.

Just as he was thinking, Suzuki Shiro suddenly looked at him.

"Lin Mojun".

"You previously made a fortune off an entertainment company from that girl, so are you interested in making some more money off me?"

"Let me tell you about the payment first!"

"The Suzuki family has made an investment overseas. There is a company called Sindora in the United States. They have a genius boy named Hiroki Sawada who is developing a groundbreaking intelligent AI system, and they have already made some progress."

"This is a hot commodity!"

"Many overseas conglomerates are very interested in this project. Recently, this company, Sindora, is raising funds. Our Suzuki family has some connections in the United States, so the Suzuki family holds a total of 23% of the A shares and 3.1% of the B shares."

"If Lin Mojun takes over this business, I can transfer 10% of my A shares and 1% of my B shares to you."

"Those are B shares that allow you to interfere in the company's management, and this is also a groundbreaking artificial intelligence industry."

hiss!

Upon hearing Suzuki Shiro's words, Lin Mo, who was drinking tea, was instantly stunned.

What the hell?

Syndora Corporation? Artificial intelligence industry?

Honestly...

In 1996, when Lin Mo heard about this industry, he was honestly a little confused.

After all, my personal computer is still a Pentium Pro version. Although the computers provided by the organization are a bit more high-end, they are at most a Win98 level. Now you're talking to me about artificial intelligence?

No, wait a minute.

Apparently, there's a story in the original work where the genius boy Hiroki Sawada's Noah's Ark, the game Cocoon, was launched in Tokyo, and Conan and the others were almost killed by the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark when they participated in the game...

Hold the grass!

Is the company that Suzuki Shiro is talking to now the same one from the original work?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo also began to recall the original work.

It seems that the reporter at the very beginning of the theatrical version also mentioned that the Suzuki family was indeed one of the investors.

So, Suzuki Shiro in front of him wants to use the company's shares to ask him to do things for the Suzuki family.

Damn it, something's not right!

I'm not a detective, nor do I run an agency!

Why can't you find someone else to handle your requests?

There are at least two hundred detective agencies in the entire Tokyo area, and many of them are top-notch detectives. Why does the Suzuki family insist on competing so fiercely with themselves?

Or is this still a test?

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

He had ignored the two previous attempts by the Suzuki family to test him, out of consideration for Ran. Moreover, the Suzuki family had handled the situation very well, so he ultimately chose to turn a blind eye.

But here's the problem!

You can test someone once or twice, but never three times!

The Suzuki family has gone too far.

I'm not a good-tempered person. Do you really think I'm afraid of the Suzuki family?

Lin Mo gave a forced smile and spoke in a neither-heavy nor-light tone, "Mr. Suzuki, I'm not a detective!"

In a word.

Shiro Suzuki and Kogoro Mouri both changed color instantly.

Although Lin Mo's words were neither too harsh nor too mild, the two of them were not fools and naturally sensed the hidden annoyance in Lin Mo's voice.

even……

Lin Mo's words already carried a hint of hostility!

Kogoro Mouri knew very well that Lin Mo, who was pursuing his daughter, was not only gentle and kind on the surface, but was also a ruthless and cunning person in essence.

otherwise.

It's impossible for him to have developed his power so quickly in such a short period of time.

The Suzuki family is not to be trifled with either; if these two families really clash...

Thinking of this, he immediately prepared to speak, as he needed to ease the tension between them.

But before Kogoro Mouri could speak, Shiro Suzuki immediately said, "Young Suzuki, you've misunderstood. The Suzuki family was in the wrong the first two times. I sincerely apologize to you."

"I can guarantee that this time will be absolutely different!"

"The Suzuki family has indeed encountered a problem, and it's not one that an ordinary detective can handle. Normal agencies wouldn't dare take on this case either."

"After much thought, I believe only my young friend Lin Mo might be able to accomplish this!"

"This is a normal request, I can guarantee that!"

Yes.

If Kogoro Mouri can see through Lin Mo's true nature, does that mean Shiro Suzuki is just a fool?

The first two tests were enough!

He didn't need to test him a third time. Of course, he couldn't say it out loud, so even if he apologized now, he could only do so indirectly. However, he believed that Lin Mo would definitely understand the underlying meaning of his words.

no way!

Some things can only be done, not said, and not admitted; after all, the Suzuki family also has a sense of honor.

An apology now is the limit.

I must say, it's incredibly useful!

Lin Mo did understand Suzuki Shiro's underlying meaning, so his expression gradually improved, but at this moment Lin Mo became more and more puzzled.

Something that even the Suzuki family couldn't handle? Other agencies wouldn't dare take it on either?

and……

Are you so confident that you can handle something that you dare to take on?

That's interesting!

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Mo slowly spoke, "Mr. Suzuki, please tell me what you're asking for. However, I can't guarantee I'll take on this task, as even the Suzuki family finds it a difficult matter..."

Even if the reward you offer is indeed generous, I cannot guarantee that I will accept it.

Yes.

Even the Suzuki family found this a difficult situation, so Lin Mo really couldn't guarantee anything.

Although the reward offered was indeed generous, the effort and reward were proportional, and this hefty sum of revenge also indicated the difficulty of the matter.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Suzuki Shiro couldn't help but smile.

"Lin Mojun, don't worry."

"Since I dared to ask, I'm certain you can do it."

"Just say it!"

"I hope Lin Mojun can help me investigate the Fuze family, and I need to know all their secrets, especially those concerning their three children."

"Other firms dare not take on this case because it involves the Tomizawa family."

"After all, it is a conglomerate that is no less powerful than the Suzuki family. Ordinary firms would not dare to offend such a large conglomerate for a commission or for a little money."

"Lin Mojun, you're different!"

"I can tell you're not afraid of these things."

"Moreover, the reward I'm offering this time is very generous, so I believe Lin Mojun won't refuse."
