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

Lin Mo spoke up and asked directly.

To be honest, he was a little surprised. He never expected that his first commission would be so simple and casual.

How did Dunzi die?

For someone like him, a time traveler, this kind of thing doesn't even require investigation; he can give Ayako an answer right now.

but.

Considering that he had no connection with these people, giving the answer directly would be too shocking, so Lin Mo could only take a slightly roundabout approach.

"Ryoichi Takahashi?"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's question, Ayako was filled with confusion.

no way!

While she is indeed a talented businesswoman and has been well-educated by her family in many ways, she has not received any training in crime-solving.

However, she reacted quickly and immediately realized that Lin Mo must have discovered something.

Thinking of this, she immediately said, "Takahashi Ryoichi has a crush on Atsuko. Although he hasn't confessed directly, I can't fool him."

"After Atsuko committed suicide, Takahashi Ryoichi's eyes were very fierce, and I could feel that his love for Atsuko was genuine."

After saying that.

She immediately shut her mouth and looked directly at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo nodded upon hearing this.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Mo spoke again: "Do Takahashi Ryoichi and Ikeda Chikako have some irreconcilable grudges?"

"No!" Ayako immediately shook her head.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Ryoichi Takahashi was just an ordinary food company employee, while Chikako Ikeda was a relatively well-known writer."

"The two have had no real-life interaction since graduating from university, with their only connection being the annual reunion."

Lin Mo nodded; this information was sufficient.

Then.

Without any further ado, he immediately said, "Then there's no problem. Although we don't know exactly what happened back then, the culprit who caused Atsuko's suicide is definitely Chikako Ikeda."

Ayako looked bewildered upon hearing this.

What on earth is all this?!

First, they asked Takahashi Ryoichi if he had a crush on Atsuko, then they asked about Takahashi Ryoichi's relationship with Ikeda Chikako, and concluded that the person who caused Atsuko's suicide was Ikeda Chikako.

Is there any connection between them?

Obviously.

Even though Lin Mo had already reached a conclusion, Ayako was still completely confused.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Perhaps sensing Ayako's confusion, Lin Mo immediately offered an explanation.

"first……"

"Takahashi Ryoichi is a thin man, but he's deliberately pretending to be fat."

"Secondly, do you remember when Xiaolan and I came in, Xiaolan mentioned the bandaged weirdo?"

"Just now, Xiaolan and I went upstairs to tidy up the room. While we were washing up, I took the opportunity to investigate Takahashi Ryoichi's bedroom, considering that there were bandaged strange people around and that Takahashi Ryoichi was deliberately disguising himself."

"I found a lot of bandages, as well as some wire, axes, and other things."

"This gives me reason to suspect that Ryoichi Takahashi is the Bandage Monster."

"But I still couldn't figure out what his purpose was at the time."

"Was the cosplay a surprise for everyone? Or was there some other purpose?"

"third……"

"And just now outside, I noticed that when Takahashi Ryoichi looked at Ikeda Chikako, the murderous intent in his eyes was completely undisguised."

"At that time, I concluded that Ryoichi Takahashi wanted to kill Chikako Ikeda."

"Disguising himself as a bandaged monster is most likely some kind of murder method."

"The odds and ends I found in his room were probably tools he used to escape punishment or create an alibi after committing the murder."

"And now you're telling me that Ryoichi Takahashi is in love with Atsuko, and has no grudge against Chikako Ikeda..."

"Then, there's only one truth!"

"Over the past few years, he has discovered certain things that prove that Atsuko's suicide back then was definitely related to Ikeda Chikako."

"But he doesn't have conclusive evidence, or even if he can convict Chikako Ikeda, the final sentence will definitely not satisfy him."

"So now, Ryoichi Takahashi is preparing to personally take revenge on Atsuko!"

"Also, let me add something."

"If you only want to avenge Atsuko, then do nothing more. Ikeda Chikako, who caused Atsuko's suicide, will most likely be killed by Takahashi Ryoichi."

"Of course."

"If you want to take revenge yourself, I can stop Takahashi Ryoichi for you, considering your generous commission."

After saying that.

Lin Mo stopped talking and turned to look at Ayako in front of him.

He is now very curious about what Ayako will choose.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After listening to Lin Mo's analysis, Dunzi was stunned.

She didn't understand it before, but now she suddenly understands.

That makes sense!

At this moment, the look in her eyes as she looked at Lin Mo instantly turned into one of admiration.

Sonoko wasn't lying to herself; this man was indeed formidable.

Lin Mo didn't know his friends before, and had only met them today. Moreover, he spent most of his time washing up on the second floor, yet he was able to discover so many hidden things in an instant.

then……

By asking yourself two questions, you can directly pinpoint the real culprit.

Although she didn't know the hidden forces behind him, his ability to solve cases was enough to amaze her.

"Okay, I understand!"

"If Chikako Ikeda is truly the murderer, then I will not let her die so easily."

"What kind of punishment is death? A fate worse than death is what counts!"

"I'll talk to Ryoichi Takahashi later. If it's really as Lin Mojun said, then our commission will be completely fulfilled."

Ayako hesitated for a moment, then made a promise.

Lin Mo nodded, showing no surprise.

After saying goodbye to Ayako, he picked up his coffee again and stood by the window to enjoy the rain.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After Lin Mo left the kitchen, Ayako called in Takahashi Ryoichi, who was repairing the roof.

"Takahashi..."

There's something I'd like to talk to you about.

Looking at the seemingly honest and simple-minded Takahashi Ryoichi, Ayako's gaze began to turn serious.

Ryoichi Takahashi was somewhat taken aback.

But he still smiled and asked, "Ayako, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It concerns Atsuko, and also Chikako Ikeda," Ayako said, her eyes deep.

He briefly recounted Lin Mo's words, and then spoke in a very serious tone.

"If this investigation is correct, I hope you will stop your criminal activities and hand over the truth, including all the evidence, to me."

"Atsuko is the only friend I truly acknowledge. I've been investigating this matter for years, and I will definitely get justice for Atsuko and make Chikako Ikeda regret it for the rest of her life!"

"You should know the power of the Suzuki Group. I can make Ikeda Chikako wish she were dead!"

"Death? Ha!"

"That's too easy on her!"
