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

Lin Mo's tone was quite serious.

Yes!

This wasn't the precognition of a time traveler, but rather the fact that Lin Mo, being a ninja, had a keen sense of killing intent and bloodlust. He could truly feel the killing intent emanating from Michiwaki Masahiko, as well as the faint scent of blood.

But on the other side...

His words caused everyone present to gasp in shock.

Almost instantly.

Everyone stared at Lin Mo in astonishment.

Even the slightly tipsy Kogoro Mouri's eyes instantly sharpened like knives: "Lin Mo, are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Lin Mo nodded without any hesitation.

After a moment's thought, he continued, "But don't make a fuss about this. After all, we need to catch the thief red-handed. Let's see what this guy is up to by getting close to the garden."

no way!

He had only just arrived in Izu and had just met Michiwaki Masahiko.

He could point out that Masahiko Michiwaki had a problem because of his personal abilities, but if he directly revealed the other party's true purpose, wouldn't others think he was a monster?

But don't rush!

Anyway, Michiwaki Masahiko will break into Sonoko's house tonight to steal the camera. I can just lie in wait and catch him. It's just a piece of cake for me.

"That's fine too!"

After a moment's thought, Kogoro Mouri calmly nodded.

Next.

He put down his wine glass completely, after all, he still had things to do tonight, and he wasn't someone who didn't understand the bigger picture.

After half an hour.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned to the hotel satisfied and chatted over tea in the hotel lobby teahouse.

"Oh, right."

"We took a lot of photos today. I'll go back inside and take them out so everyone can enjoy them."

"I'll be right back!"

After saying that.

In high spirits, she headed towards her room.

Xiaolan watched the garden leave. Although she tried to say something, she opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a word.

no way!

Sonoko had finally met a man who liked her, and if she were to confess directly now, she couldn't imagine how heartbroken Sonoko would be tonight.

Just then, Lin Mo suddenly stood up: "Yuanzi, I'll go with you!"

"No need, it's so close..." Sonoko immediately waved her hand.

only.

Before Sonoko could finish speaking, Lin Mo interrupted her: "I'm worried about your safety. When I was at the beer house before, I heard that there's been a serial killer around here recently."

"Okay then!" Sonoko's lips twitched.

Although she didn't think she would be so unlucky as to encounter that damned killer, hearing Lin Mo say this still made her feel a little scared.

Anyway, it's such a short distance, so Lin Mo can follow if he wants.

Two minutes later.

Just as Sonoko opened her door with a smile, she saw a man in black rummaging through her bag.

Ah!

Upon seeing this, Sonoko immediately let out a scream.

Upon seeing this, the man in black, who was rummaging through his bag, immediately pulled out a dagger, ready to kill Sonoko.

But, the next second.

Lin Mo pulled Yuanzi behind him and then kicked the man in black hard in the chest.

Followed by.

The man in black was kicked away like a rag doll, smashing through the hotel's balcony window and flying horizontally from the second floor.

"Sonoko, go and call someone!"

After saying that.

Lin Mo immediately jumped off the second-floor balcony and saw the man in black who had fallen to the first floor. The man was curled up in pain and rolling around on the ground. Lin Mo did not offer any help and just stood there coldly watching over him.

Two minutes later.

People who heard the commotion, as well as everyone that Sonoko had called, all came in from the hotel.

Seeing the man in black curled up on the ground groaning, no one showed him any sympathy. After all, any normal person could tell that this guy was no good.

nonsense!

Who would dress like that so late at night?

Kogoro Mouri stepped out, ripped off his mask, and revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Ran and the others who knew the situation in advance showed no surprise. Only Sonoko seemed to have lost her soul, unable to believe that the person in front of her was actually Masahiko Michiwaki!

"How could that be?"

"Why you?"

"What are you doing in my room? You actually wanted to kill me?"

"..."

At this moment, Sonoko was incoherent and didn't know what to say.

And, in response to this.

Michiwaki Masahiko's eyes turned cold, no longer showing the gentleness he had shown when facing Sonoko; his whole demeanor became twisted and chilling.

"Damn it!"

"No woman who dyes her hair blonde is a good person."

"I hate it!"

"If it weren't for that man, I would have killed you!"

"..."

Michiwaki Masahiko spoke in a cold tone.

That's normal!

They were caught red-handed, so there was no need for pretense anymore.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Sonoko, who was completely bewildered and utterly dumbfounded, before letting out a sigh and saying in a low voice, "Let's call the police first..."

"We'll discuss the specifics when the police arrive!"

Twenty minutes later.

Two groups of police arrived separately.

The first to arrive were the Shizuoka Prefectural Police, led by Sango Yokomizo; later arrived was Shoji Terahashi, the Chiba Prefectural Police.

"Actually, the Chiba Prefectural Police have been tracking this person for a long time!"

"Several cases in Chiba Prefecture have been investigated and found to be related to this person, but we just haven't obtained any evidence yet."

Terahina Province 2, reluctantly, spoke up.

Upon seeing this person, Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim, "So you're a police officer!"

"You seemed suspicious during the day today, and I thought you were a bad guy."

Followed by.

After the two groups of police officers presented the evidence they had, and with Masahiko Michiwaki having let slip a few words earlier, and with Conan, the "famous detective," present, it took less than two hours for Masahiko Michiwaki to become a significant part of Conan's credits.

In the evening, half past ten.

After most of the hotel guests had gone to sleep, Lin Mo and his group were still sitting in the living room drinking tea.

That's normal!

After all, they had just gone through the incident with Masahiko Michiwaki, especially since he was a friend they had just met during the day. It's normal that they couldn't accept it right away.

Especially the garden!

Her feelings were complicated at this moment, as this incident had been a huge blow to her.

Ran sat next to her and kept comforting her. Akemi and Sayuri later joined in, but Shiho Miyano was like a passerby, leaning back on the sofa, holding a coffee and reading a magazine.

Like an outsider!

Lin Mo understood this perfectly.

Although Shiho Miyano is a very kind person, she is just not very good at expressing herself.

Just then, Sonoko suddenly stood up.

"Lin Mo, thank you!"

"If it weren't for you just now, I might have really been killed by Michiwaki Masahiko."

"..."
