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

Hattori Heiji's muscles were tense.

His gaze toward Lin Mo was murderous, but in the end, he channeled his grief and anger into his appetite and began to devour the food in large mouthfuls.

Conan is similar, except that compared to Heiji Hattori, there is a hint of worry in his eyes.

Obviously.

He did catch part of the conversation between Xiaolan and her mother that night, even though he had to admit that his favorite thing, being a detective, had become a big problem between him and Xiaolan.

At least for now, he can't solve this problem!

Conan, unable to resolve the matter, naturally lacked the courage to hold a grudge like Heiji Hattori did!

no way.

Although Conan is reckless and impulsive, he is essentially a good kid.

When he wasn't confident in giving Xiaolan a promise and a future, he naturally couldn't convince himself to stop Xiaolan from seeing other boys.

and so.

Although he still dislikes Lin Mo now, the resentment in his heart has lessened a bit!

Perhaps in the future, only after he finds a balance between being a detective and Xiaolan will he be able to muster the courage to stop Lin Mo from getting close to Xiaolan.

"Hey, Kudo!"

"Shh..."

Seeing Heiji Hattori run out, Conan's face instantly turned green: "Do you want me to die?"

Damn it.

My friend is great in every way, except he has no self-control when it comes to his mouth. He keeps mentioning Kudo no matter what the situation is, and I've told him off a million times, but he just can't change.

"Ahem, sorry."

"Hey Conan, you seem a bit off today!"

"What happened?"

"Have you already given up on Xiaolan?"

The current Heiji Hattori is truly hard to understand.

After all, Conan wasn't like this before. Every time he saw Lin Mo approaching Ran, he wanted to beat Lin Mo to death on the spot.

Why the change of heart today?

And, in response to this.

Faced with his curious friend, Conan hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to tell him what had happened.

Obviously.

Conan clearly still trusts his good friend completely.

After hearing this, Hattori Heiji also fell completely silent.

This is truly unsolvable!

He knew, of course, how much Conan loved being a detective, and it was impossible to get him to give it up in the future. But the problem was that being a detective was indeed a job that attracted too many enemies.

If you become a policeman, that's fine. As long as you can become a mid- to high-ranking official, your family's safety can still be guaranteed.

After all, both the Metropolitan Police Department and the Osaka Police Department have certain solutions for this kind of thing.

For example, there are special security forces stationed near the residential areas of high-ranking police officers. You just need to be a little careful when you go out. Moreover, ordinary people don't dare to provoke high-ranking police officers, otherwise they will face retaliation from the entire police force.

Even as a regular police officer, that's not bad!

After all, there are dedicated police dormitories, and the police will also provide welfare subsidies for purchasing houses in the future. Moreover, they can purchase residential areas for police officers, so at least there is some security guarantee.

But a detective?

You'll have to rely on yourself for this!

If Ran doesn't choose Shinichi Kudo because of this, then no one can say anything about it.

After pondering for a long time.

Heiji Hattori gave Conan a deep look, then his mind began to race again.

Obviously.

He's hesitating!

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but ask, "Hattori, what's wrong?"

"Conan..." Hattori Heiji hesitated for a moment.

but.

After careful consideration, he gritted his teeth and said, "I do have some connections that can resolve your situation, but you need to discuss it with your parents. Your family will have to pay a huge price."

What the hell?

Upon hearing Heiji Hattori's words, Conan froze on the spot.

but.

Thinking that it could solve his worries, Conan gritted his teeth and finally spoke: "Hattori, you go ahead."

"To become a policeman!" Hattori Heiji exclaimed.

Conan was stunned.

Looking at Hattori Heiji in front of him, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

After a long pause, Hattori Heiji spoke again: "Although I also really enjoy being a detective, I know that I will definitely join the Osaka Police Department in the future, and I will also have to take over my father's position."

"I need help, someone I trust!"

"Conan, I believe you!"

"My idea is for you to take over Uncle Toyama's position, which is the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department and Superintendent General of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters!"

"Uncle Toyama's family is a bit special; he only has one daughter, Kazuha!"

"Kazuha has no interest in becoming a police officer. Although there are other juniors in the Toyama family, the core of the Toyama family is not in the Osaka Police Department, so they are unlikely to take on this position."

"You should discuss it with your parents, and it would be best if you could also talk to Uncle Yuanshan. It would be great if you could reach an agreement on a swap!"

"I believe you..."

"So I can talk to my dad and then act as a go-between for your two families to negotiate!"

"High-ranking police officers are not afraid of retaliation; neither are my family and the Ye family."

"This is the only way I can think of to keep you from giving up being a detective, ensure your family won't be threatened in the future, and also persuade Ran's family."

"Of course, you should discuss whether or not to do it with your parents when you get home!"

Hattori Heiji spoke in a serious tone.

Obviously.

He really chose to go all out for his friends!

But thinking about it carefully, it's understandable.

Just as Hattori Heizo had the help of Toyama Ginjiro, Hattori Heiji, after taking over his father's position, will naturally need a group of his own people to support him.

Other people?

He doesn't trust him!

On the contrary, Shinichi Kudo in front of him was quite to Hattori Heiji's liking.

Since no one is destined to take over Ginjiro Toyama's position, and he will definitely have to exchange resources with others for this position, why can't Shinichi Kudo take over this position?

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Conan was completely dumbfounded after hearing these words!

but.

Although there was no position for him to inherit in the Kudo family, Conan was certainly aware of something that was practically out in the open, since everyone was playing along.

He never expected that he would encounter such a thing.

However, he had to admit that it was indeed a good path!

After a moment's hesitation, he slowly said, "Go back and sound out the situation first. If there's any indication, I'll talk to my family."

"OK, no problem." Hattori Heiji adjusted his hat. "Leave it to me, don't worry."

"Even if it's just so we can fight side by side in the future, I, Hattori Heiji, will definitely take care of this for you."

"However, Conan!"

"At most, I can only try to give you a chance. As for whether you can actually reach an agreement, that depends on whether your Kudo family and the Toyama family can reach a good deal."
