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

"On April 19th, the Sallybeth will depart from Yokohama Port. I will take the true Black Star Pearl." — Phantom Thief Kid!

This announcement letter contained no riddles.

Simple and straightforward!

The exact date was April 19th, and the location was the Sallybeth.

At the Suzuki family's 60th anniversary banquet, Phantom Thief Kid will openly and brazenly take away the Dark Star.

"Arrogant!"

"That damned thief is utterly arrogant!"

"However, hmph!"

"I will apprehend this thief on April 19th!"

Hattori Heiji's face was gloomy.

He is really angry!

This was practically the biggest provocation to him, the famous detective. He was being told the operation plan so bluntly. If he still couldn't arrest him on the spot, then he, the famous detective, would become a complete joke.

Yes, that's right!

He really lost face tonight.

He was tricked by a thief all night, and even helped the thief lure the police away, becoming the scapegoat for the thief.

More importantly, we've embarrassed ourselves in front of the Metropolitan Police Department!

His father is the head of the Osaka Police Department, and he himself is destined to take over that position in the future.

Heiji Hattori is so angry he wants to hit someone if people talk about him in the future, saying he was made a fool of by a thief.

Asshole!

That's outrageous!

He must capture this Phantom Thief Kid to wash away the humiliation of tonight and preserve his reputation as a "famous detective".

Actually, not to mention Heiji Hattori, Conan was also gritting his teeth at this moment, and was so angry that he was about to go crazy.

Who is he?

He's the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the savior of the Metropolitan Police Department, okay?

He had caught so many criminals, yet tonight he suffered such a huge loss at the hands of a mere thief. He was truly losing face!

"Phantom Thief Kid, I'll remember you!"

"On April 19th, the Sallybeth, I'll stake my reputation as a great detective on capturing you completely."

"Don't even think about running away!"

Conan gritted his teeth and kept making vows in his mind.

Heiji Hattori was in a similar mood, looking determined to catch Kaito Kid.

Dr. Agasa: "..."

At this moment, he was completely speechless.

I was so embarrassed I almost dug a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor. For a moment, I really didn't know how to comfort these two.

Oh well!

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, so I'll just pretend I don't know anything about it.

……

On the other side, at Lin Mo's residence.

Having read the original work, Lin Mo knew that Conan and Heiji Hattori would definitely have a showdown with Kaito Kuroba tonight, but he had no interest in getting involved.

It's just a bunch of kids playing around!

Since he couldn't gain any benefit from it, he naturally had no interest in joining in the fun.

If it weren't for the invitation from the Suzuki family, he would have wanted to know what they were planning to do; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have bothered making the trip.

on the sofa.

Lin Mo had just sat down when a maid brought him coffee.

Picking up his coffee, Lin Mo said, "It's getting late, butler, you should get some rest too!"

"Yes, sir." Butler Ochiai nodded. "I'll make the arrangements."

Having followed Lin Mo all day, he was indeed a little tired.

but.

He bowed and left, learned about the affairs of the manor, made some simple arrangements, and then returned to his room to rest.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Lin Mo had just sat on the sofa for a while when Miyano Akemi and Matsumoto Sayuri came out.

"Lin Mojun is back!"

"Lin Mojun..."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Lin Mo smiled.

good……

After a period of recuperation, their illnesses have almost completely healed.

"Judging from your complexions, it seems your conditions have stabilized considerably."

"Mingmei..."

"Since you haven't been to work for so long, I think you should take some time to resign and then stay home to study hard and prepare for the national civil service exam."

"Sayuri."

"Although your condition has stabilized considerably, I still do not recommend that you leave immediately."

"Although the matter of the Takasugi family has ended, the Metropolitan Police Department is still cracking down on the hidden forces behind the Takasugi family, and your father is the front-line commander in this battle."

"But don't worry, I think it'll be over soon!"

"But the specifics will depend on your father. After all, I don't know much about the Metropolitan Police Department, so I suggest you ask him before you leave."

As Lin Mo spoke, Miyano Akemi remained expressionless.

after all……

This was decided a long time ago!

Anyway, the job at Nanyang University was just temporary, so resigning wouldn't be too difficult for him to accept.

The thought of taking the national civil service exam and working for the Metropolitan Police Department made her feel uneasy.

no way.

He's a member of the organization!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Sayuri nodded and said, "I understand, Lin Mo-jun. Thank you for your help during this time."

"It's no trouble at all, just relax." Lin Mo waved his hand with a smile.

Looking at the little lily in front of him, he smiled and said, "With so many rooms in my house lying around, it's just a matter of having one more pair of chopsticks."

Upon hearing this, Akemi Miyano couldn't help but say, "I get bored at home all by myself, Sayuri, you can keep me company while you're here."

Matsumoto Sayuri smiled and nodded.

Honestly...

She's really not comfortable living here!

After all, she and Lin Mo hadn't yet confessed their feelings, and she was indeed a little uncomfortable staying at their house all the time.

but……

She knew what her father was thinking, but she still couldn't make up her mind!

At last.

Looking at Akemi Miyano in front of her, she could only nod in acceptance.

Lin Mo didn't dwell on the matter, instead asking, "Has Shiho not come back yet tonight?"

"No, I just called her." Miyano Akemi shook her head with a smile. "She's not coming back tonight."

"She said she discovered something interesting, and she has to work overtime tonight, so she'll rest at the research institute tonight."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's lips twitched.

This matter...

The organization used to keep such a close watch on Shiho Miyano that she felt like a caged bird, dreaming every day of escaping the research institute's cage.

But what about now?

After the organization did not restrict her movements and gave her some freedom, Shiho Miyano actually took the initiative to want to work overtime?

Oh well!

Shiho Miyano doesn't have many hobbies, but since the organization can ensure her safety, let her do whatever she wants.

Next.

The three of them chatted in the living room for a while. After Lin Mo washed up and prepared to go to bed, Matsumoto Sayuri knocked on his door.

Lin Mo, wearing a bathrobe, opened the door and looked at Xiao Baihe with some confusion: "Xiao Baihe, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Lin Mojun, can we talk?" Xiaobaihe asked.
