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

Yuanzi bowed at a 90-degree angle, appearing very formal.

Seeing this, Lin Mo waved his hand and said with a smile, "We're all friends, it's nothing. I appreciate your thanks."

but.

Only Lin Mo knew that he had cut off Kyogoku Makoto's appearance.

So...

If Makoto Kyogoku couldn't save Sonoko, will he still be able to be with her in the future?

do not know!

Lin Mo didn't pay attention to such trivial matters.

Twenty minutes later.

After chatting for a while, everyone went back to prepare for rest.

Sonoko and Ran shared a room, Kogoro Mouri and Conan shared a room, the Miyano sisters also shared a room, and Lin Mo shared a room with Sayuri.

in the room.

After a quick wash, Lin Mo changed into a set of pajamas that had been prepared in advance, only to see Xiao Baihe sitting on a rattan chair on the balcony.

He opened the sliding window of the room, sat on the wicker chair on the balcony, looked at the dark night sky in the distance, listened to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, and laughed as he enjoyed the sea breeze.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Xiaobaihe glanced at Lin Mo, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

After shaking his head, he sighed, "I just feel a little sorry for Sonoko. Why did something like this have to happen to her? And I can't help but start thinking about how to prevent this from happening in the first place."

"Poor Sonoko?" Lin Mo laughed upon hearing this.

Looking at Matsumoto Sayuri in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After shaking his head helplessly, Lin Mo slowly said, "Sonoko is nothing to be pitied. It's Michiwaki Masahiko who should be pitied."

"Of all people to mess with, why did that guy have to provoke the second princess of the Suzuki family? He must be tired of living."

Matsumoto Sayuri was stunned for a moment.

Obviously.

At this moment, she couldn't quite understand why Lin Mo would say that.

And, in response to this.

Seeing Matsumoto Sayuri's blank expression, Lin Mo shook his head before explaining, "You need to know one thing: under normal circumstances, Michiwaki Masahiko wouldn't actually die."

"Don't be fooled by the number of women he killed. Given the current situation in the island nation, he will at most be sentenced to life imprisonment, and if he behaves well in the future, his sentence could be reduced to a fixed term."

"If he can perform better, or even make more contributions, he might be released in six or seven years."

"But what about now?"

"That idiot had to offend Sonoko of all people."

"hehe."

Do you think the Suzuki family will let Masahiko Michiwaki go?

"Impossible!"

"I can tell you right now that Michiwaki Masahiko is in prison, and he probably can't even hope to die."

"A life worse than death is the norm!"

Lin Mo spoke with great certainty.

nonsense!

The Suzuki family is at least a second-rate conglomerate. How dare Masahiko Michiwaki, a guy with no background, kill Sonoko, the second young lady of his own family, who is destined to become the head of the Suzuki family in the future?

This is like an old man eating poison—he's tired of living!

The situation has developed to this point, and it's no longer a matter of whether Sonoko is willing to let the other party go. In fact, even if Sonoko wants to forgive him, the Suzuki family cannot let Michiwaki Masahiko off easily for the sake of their own reputation.

otherwise……

If we treat Masahiko Michiwaki lightly, wouldn't everyone dare to provoke the Suzuki family in the future?

This door must not be opened!

Matsumoto Sayuri was stunned and shocked upon hearing these words, clearly she hadn't thought that much about it before.

Then.

After thinking for a moment, she gave a wry smile.

She was laughing at her own naiveté!

She had already been through the Takasugi family and the Iga family, her father had joined the Odagiri family, and now her boyfriend was Lin Mo. How could she not even think of something so simple?

Yes, the Suzuki family!

The people in the Iwako family are no ordinary people; the Suzuki family is behind them!

Thinking about what I've been through lately, how could I possibly feel sorry for Sonoko?

They don't need my pity!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Just as Xiaobaihe was lost in thought, Lin Mo, who was sitting next to her, spoke up again.

"It's actually quite simple to avoid this kind of thing."

"Know yourself!"

"You need to have an accurate self-assessment, know your own capabilities, and be extra cautious about anything beyond your own abilities."

"Don't believe in free lunches; what falls from the sky is more likely to be knives!"

"Let's take Sonoko as an example. In reality, Sonoko is very beautiful, but this girl deliberately makes herself look ugly every day. Under such circumstances, how can you expect other men to be interested in you?"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"Unless she brings out her status as the second princess of the Suzuki family, she's deliberately making herself look ugly, and with Ran, a beautiful woman, standing next to her, how could any normal man choose Sonoko over Ran?"

"This whole thing is very unusual. If Sonoko had just assessed her situation properly, she wouldn't have fallen into this trap."

Matsumoto Sayuri let out a soft sigh.

Then.

She didn't speak again, but looked into the distance.

The pitch-black night, the cool sea breeze, and the occasional sound of waves.

After a while.

Lin Mo then stood up and said, "Alright, Little Lily."

"It's getting late, we should get some rest."

Xiaobaihe nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Her face was slightly flushed, and her body was a little tense, but after taking a deep breath, she got up and went back to the room with Lin Mo.

……

Everyone had a great time over the next two days.

Especially since the case just happened last night, Conan's death aura is still in a weakened state, so everyone naturally had a great time on Izu Beach for two days. Lin Mo also really enjoyed this relaxing vacation.

Until the third day!

Due to Gin's summons, Shiho Miyano had no choice but to return to the research institute ahead of schedule.

Because it was close to the time for the national exam, Miyano Akemi went home early to study and prepare for the exam; even Matsumoto Sayuri was relaxing and needed to go back to school as soon as possible to end her leave and also needed to go home to reunite with Matsumoto Kiyoshi.

As for Lin Mo?

He initially planned to return to Tokyo, but due to Sonoko's invitation, he ended up at Sonoko's villa in Izu.

Ok……

How so?

Compared to the bustling Izu beach, the villas in this villa area, although they are right next to the sun and sand, are very quiet and spacious.

no way!

This is private property; ordinary people cannot enter.

There were only a few people strolling along the beach, who were clearly residents of the villa area.

In the villa.

The Suzuki couple and Ayako were all present. As the group arrived, Suzuki Shiro was the first to stand up and shake hands with Lin Mo.

"Lin Mojun, thank you so much!"

"I've heard about what happened. If you hadn't intervened, my daughter might have been in real danger."
