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

Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged.

He completely ignored Conan and Heiji Hattori, greeted Kogoro Mouri first, then plopped down on the sofa, drank the tea Ran had made for him, and chatted casually with Kazuha Toyama.

"Brother Lin Mo, I have to go."

"The tickets are for 6:20. It's almost time. Heiji and I should get up too."

"I'll come visit you again next time."

Kazuha Toyama glanced at his watch, then stood up and spoke to Lin Mo.

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo wasn't surprised, after all, she was just a student and would definitely need to go back to school.

He immediately stood up: "Are you coming again on June 19th?"

"Come on!" Kazuha Toyama nodded.

the other side.

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji's face grew increasingly gloomy.

He regretted it!

If he had known Lin Mo would come today, he definitely wouldn't have stayed home studying Phantom Thief Kid. After all, there were still more than half a month until June 19th, and there was no need for him to study the other party today.

But who would have thought that Lin Mo would come today?

In his opinion, today was a group activity for the girls, and it was impossible for Lin Mo, a boy, to participate.

But I never expected Lin Mo to be so shameless.

They even shamelessly participated in an event that was entirely attended by girls.

Remember this next time!

Before taking any action, Toyama Kazuha had to find out in advance whether that bastard Lin Mo would participate.

"Kazuha, it's time to go!"

Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth.

He knew that Toyama and Kazuha disliked his impolite behavior, so he was now suppressing his anger and barely managing to avoid looking at that bastard Lin Mo.

Kazuha Toyama didn't think too much about it. Hearing this, he simply nodded and prepared to leave with him.

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo also said goodbye to Xiao Lan and left behind He Ye.

Once downstairs, Lin Mo said, "He Ye, have a safe trip!"

"Thank you, Lin Mo-ge, bye-bye!" Toyama Kazuha waved.

Then.

Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori headed towards the subway station, while Lin Mo went off to find his own manor.

His brain began to think.

Ran's progress is quite significant; he's basically forgotten about Shinichi Kudo. As long as he puts in a little more effort, winning Ran over shouldn't be a problem, and he believes the Mori couple won't interfere.

nonsense!

Ran had never hidden her thoughts, and the Mori couple had naturally seen it. Since neither of them stepped in to stop her, it meant that they respected Ran's choice.

Once Xiaolan is won over, this matter will be settled!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

On Toyama Kazuha's side, however, there has been little progress.

Although she also obtained amulets for herself, and their relationship was relatively harmonious, she still considered herself a friend.

More importantly—Hattori Heiji!

This guy has changed a lot; he can actually barely control his emotions now.

This is not a good thing!

Remember this: a dog that bites doesn't bark!

The old, boisterous Hattori Heiji was easy to handle, but now he's slowly learning to be silent. Although he still can't control his facial expressions, for someone like Hattori Heiji...

That's enough!

After all, he has powerful backers, so he doesn't need to be at the top to take over his father's current position.

Ok……

Hattori Heizo, that old bastard, didn't make a move. Does that mean he's using me as a whetstone for his son?

Haha, interesting!

I hope you don't overdo it.

Lin Mo looked at the two amulets in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"We have plenty of time, let's take our time!"

Lin Mo spoke calmly, not taking it to heart.

He was confident he could bring Toyama Kazuha over, since even though Hattori Heiji had made some progress, he was still far inferior to him.

He's just a little kid!

in contrast.

What's giving him a headache right now is the matter of Sayuri Matsumoto.

Since Miyano Akemi has already spoken up for her, she should take the initiative tonight. It seems that this thin veil will most likely be torn down.

Taking down Matsumoto Sayuri is a good thing, but it also means that I will definitely get involved in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's matter from now on.

Headache!

He really didn't want to get involved in the Metropolitan Police Department's mess, since he wouldn't get much benefit from it anyway.

But there was nothing we could do!

Effort and reward are directly proportional.

If you want to get Sayuri, you have to solve this problem!

……

On the other side, the Mori family.

Conan was a little distracted at this moment. After finishing his meal, he called Yukiko and learned that his father had returned. He then briefly told Ran about it and immediately rode his skateboard towards his home.

A dozen minutes later.

When Shinichi Kudo returned home, he changed his shoes and went to the living room, where he saw Yusaku Kudo serving tea and reading the newspaper.

"Dad, I need to talk to you about something!"

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Looking at his anxious and flustered son, Kudo Yusaku frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

So young!

Although he doesn't care about manners, Conan is still a bit too immature.

You just got back from the US, don't you even care about your own father?

Oh well!

Conan is still quite young; we can teach him about these things gradually in the future.

Yukiko happened to come out of the kitchen: "Shinichi, you're back!"

"Hmm." Conan nodded.

He had no idea what his father was thinking, so he immediately relayed Hattori Heiji's words to his parents: "Dad, Mom, do you think this is a good idea?"

The Kudo couple were utterly shocked.

Obviously.

They never imagined that their eldest son would have such a skill.

Osaka Police Headquarters, Chief of Criminal Investigations, Superintendent General!

This is a position that Kudo Yusaku could never achieve even if he worked his whole life; otherwise, there would be no need for the couple to develop their careers in the United States.

After all, he's a novelist; does that mean he can't write novels in an island nation?

Even Yusaku Kudo, who rarely smokes, couldn't help but light a cigarette, and his brain instantly began to work at full speed.

Two minutes later.

Yusaku Kudo stubbed out his cigarette, his tone becoming serious.

"Ginjiro Toyama..."

"I know him!"

"His child, Kazuha Toyama, is a girl, and I guessed she wasn't interested in joining the Osaka Police Department. But the Toyama family is still a large family, and I originally thought the position would be filled by someone within the family."

"But that makes sense!"

"Toyama and Hattori are an ironclad alliance. It is impossible for the branch to replace Toyama Ginjiro, the main branch."

"but……"

"Winning over Ginjiro Toyama won't be an easy task!"

"A simple exchange of commercial resources is absolutely not going to work; Ginjiro Toyama doesn't lack such a small amount of money."

"Let me think..."

"I need to think about this carefully!"
