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

In the living room.

Kimie Shimabukuro's expression was relatively calm. Even though she had been with the company for so long and hadn't encountered any dark side, she knew from the moment she joined that her boss wasn't a good person...

So although what happened today shocked her, after thinking about it for a while, it didn't seem like such a big deal.

Therefore, she has now reluctantly accepted it.

"Lin Mojun, I'm going to get busy."

"If my help is needed for this mission, I can give the order at any time."

After saying that.

Shimabukuro Kimie bowed slightly and then left.

Lin Mo watched her departing figure, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

Hmm, not bad!

It seems that Shimabukuro Kimie accepted it well. Although she didn't say it explicitly, the meaning she conveyed was quite clear.

She was mentally prepared and didn't mind getting involved in the darkness!

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

When I first met her, she was already prepared to have blood on her hands and to avenge her mother.

Followed by.

Lin Mo looked at the last person beside him, Matsumoto Sayuri, whose face was pale, and after a moment of contemplation, he smiled and spoke.

"Let's go, Sayuri."

"Your mind is a bit unstable, but I can understand that."

"Let's go to the tea house and have a cup of tea with you."

"Take a break!"

After saying that.

Lin Mo then led Matsumoto Sayuri to the tea room in the connecting corridor.

This time.

Instead of having the servants make tea, he did it himself, and a few minutes later he had made a cup of tea for each of them.

"Come on, have a drink."

"Thanks!"

After accepting the tea brewed by Lin Mo, Matsumoto Sayuri thanked him softly.

Lin Mo didn't say much, and after clinking glasses with her, he drank it all in one gulp.

Not long after.

Perhaps tea truly has a calming effect, or perhaps it was the ambiance of the tea room and the tranquil surroundings that helped Matsumoto Sayuri gradually calm down.

After taking a deep breath, she put down her teacup and looked at Lin Mo: "Lin Mo-jun, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Mo asked back.

Matsumoto Sayuri opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "I know what you're worried about, but I still want to tell you that your thoughts are a bit too unnecessary."

"Do you think I'm the only one doing this?"

"Hehe, you're wrong!"

"Your father and I are actually no different."

"It's just that I'm the leader and he's the one being led."

"Why does the Odagiri clan need him to join? What makes the Odagiri clan willing to help your father?"

"To put it bluntly, if your father really needed to step in, could he refuse?"

"Little Lily, don't be naive!"

Lin Mo spoke calmly and didn't spout any grand principles.

Because he knew it was meaningless.

Moreover, what he said wasn't wrong; Odagiri Toshiro's willingness to help Matsumoto Kiyonaga wasn't just because he valued him...

This world is realistic!

To gain something, you must give something in return.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Matsumoto Sayuri fell silent and made herself another cup of tea.

She—couldn't refute it!

She used to be a flower raised in a greenhouse, and it should be said that she had never thought about such things. Now, as she gets to know Lin Mo better, she is slowly coming back to things she had encountered before...

So she knew that Lin Mo was right.

In some ways, Lin Mo and his father seem to be no different!

As she gradually calmed down, she couldn't help but ask, "Lin Mojun, are you also working for some force?"

"You could say that," Lin Mo nodded.

He couldn't reveal the true nature of the dark organization, so after a brief moment of thought, he opted for a more palatable explanation: "A force far more powerful than Odagiri."

"If I had to make a comparison, I'd say they're top-tier conglomerates!"

"besides……"

"The influence of the Odagiri family is limited to the island nation, while the influence of the forces behind me is global."

As Lin Mo spoke, Matsumoto Sayuri breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously.

Having a powerful force backing her does give her some confidence.

After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but speak up: "But I've realized that it seems..."

"I don't seem to have anything that can get me involved with Lin Mojun. Even Mingmei can get involved in the operation, and Shiho seems to be a great scientist."

"I'm just a music teacher, there's nothing I can do to help."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile.

He clearly never expected that one day, Sayuri Matsumoto would actually want to help him.

He shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Alright, Little Lily."

"You shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself. Just enjoy life."

"As my woman, you can simply enjoy life."

"Mingmei's situation is rather special. I'm just using these missions to help her shift her mindset."

"I never expected her to be of any help to me."

"As for Shiho, she just likes it!"

"So you can just do what you like. You don't need to worry about the family business. I'm confident I can handle whatever happens."

What a joke.

Does he need his woman to help him?

This is utterly ridiculous!

He never thought of having his woman do things for him, even though he considered himself a capitalist and never thought of treating his woman like a beast of burden!

He only does what his women want to do because they like it.

Of course.

Only Shiho Miyano was an exception; after all, he really couldn't get her to give up her current job.

After all, he is still too weak right now!

Perhaps only when I truly grow to the Six Paths level will I be able to grant Shiho Miyano true freedom.

……

It was 11:30 in the morning.

Shinagawa Ward, Oi Wharf.

This is Tokyo's most important container terminal, filled with countless containers, and a considerable number of ships are docked in Tokyo Bay. However, due to the agreement with the United States, it has become quite desolate in the last year or two.

A row of black cars was parked not far from the dock.

Countless people dressed in black suits, top hats, and sunglasses are now scattered nearby, on guard. These people are clearly peripheral members of the organization.

The two codenamed members, Curaçao and Tequila, along with Akemi Miyano, stood to the side, listening to Keisuke Oshima's incessant introduction.

"After an afternoon of investigation, the situation is now clear."

"The remnants of the Iga family number 17."

"They are now hiding in this dock, living in several containers near the northwest side."

"To avoid alerting the suspects, we haven't yet determined which specific container it's in."

"but……"

"What is now certain is that there is a ship called 'Ise Maru' in Tokyo Bay, which is these guys' last resort to escape."

"They chose to hide here so that, in the worst-case scenario, they could escape on that ship!"

"..."
