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

Unbelievable! Incomprehensible!

Conan was completely bewildered. He remembered that he had been very careful, and even the Metropolitan Police Department hadn't noticed his little actions.

But why?

Why did Xiaolan, who has average observation skills, discover me so easily?

next moment.

He saw Lin Mo next to Xiao Lan!

No wonder I hadn't seen Lin Mo since earlier. Turns out that damn bastard hadn't even gone into the crime scene to investigate...

and many more.

Lin Mo was in the hallway outside, and Xiao Lan was also outside.

Damn it!

Lin Mo, that despicable and shameless bastard, actually stole my house while I was solving a case?

"Lin! Mo!"

Conan gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Lin Mo.

But, unfortunately.

Before Lin Mo could even speak, Xiao Lan flicked him on the forehead: "You should be polite. You should call Lin Mo 'brother'."

Conan looked completely bewildered!

He was so frustrated he was about to explode. This bastard had stolen his girlfriend, and he was supposed to call him "brother"?

Damn it.

Last time, at the villa gathering of Sonoko's sister, I tried countless times that night to ask about vodka and the Black Organization, but this bastard kept me in cahoots with him.

I haven't even settled the score with him yet, and he's bullying me again today?

But there was nothing we could do!

Since Xiaolan had already spoken, even though he was furious, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I apologize, Brother Lin Mo!"

"Okay, good girl!"

Lin Mo patted Conan's head and then explained with a smile, "I support solving cases, but Conan, you're still too young. I suggest you grow up before entering this field."

"Also, hitting people is wrong!"

"Uncle Mori is your elder. Even if you're eager to solve the case, you can't throw an ashtray at him!"

"That's his brain! What if you smash it?"

"So, kid, be a little more sensible!"

After saying that.

Lin Mo then stopped paying attention to Conan, while Ran stared at Conan seriously.

Just as Conan was about to lose his temper, Ran slowly spoke up: "Lin Mo is right, the head is a vital organ. How could you hit it with an ashtray?"

"This is the first and last time!"

"I can keep your secret this time, but I don't want this to happen again."

"And Conan..."

"We're outside now, so I won't pressure you."

"You need to give me an explanation tonight regarding the case you just solved!"

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt very troubled.

explain?!

How am I supposed to explain this to myself?

Could it be that he is Shinichi Kudo, but was given a mysterious poison while tracking down bad guys?

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Just as Conan was having a headache, Kogoro Mouri also took his leave.

From beginning to end.

Lin Mo didn't even speak to Yoko Okino, and upon hearing this, he prepared to leave with the Mori family.

But at that moment, Yoko Okino spoke up again: "I'll have Mr. Yamagishi escort the Mori family away. I have something I'd like to discuss with Mr. Lin Mo."

Almost instantly.

Everyone who heard this looked surprised.

Lin Mo remained calm, as he had expected this long ago. Although he didn't know what the woman was up to, there was no doubt that she had been eyeing him for a while.

"good!"

Lin Mo nodded and did not refuse.

After briefly greeting the Mori family, Eiichi Yamagishi drove them away, while Lin Mo and Yoko Okino went to a quiet cafe nearby and found a nice private room.

Lin Mo lit a cigarette, his tone indifferent.

"Speak, what is it?"

Others might feel happy or nervous when they meet their idols, but Lin Mo doesn't have any romantic feelings for idol stars because, as a netizen once said in her past life: "People with truly good personalities don't get ahead in life!"

Lin Mo thought that made a lot of sense!

In the entertainment industry, a veritable melting pot, people with good personalities can't get screen time, resources, or connections, while bad people can defeat good people and thus seize that slim chance!

This is a circle where bad money drives out good, and Yoko Okino has no one backing her up. The fact that she has gotten to where she is today is enough to prove everything!

"Mr. Lin Mo, I'm so sorry!"

"I was at Mr. Mori's house when I suddenly realized that you looked very familiar, much like my current boss, which is why I took the liberty of contacting you."

"I apologize for taking up your time; I'll offer you tea instead of wine!"

Okino Yoko has a face full of innocence and kindness.

She was indeed like a pure and beautiful young girl, raising her teacup to toast Lin Mo from afar.

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo was not surprised at all, and was quite accommodating, picking up his teacup and taking a simple sip.

Then.

Not wanting to waste time, Lin Mo immediately spoke up.

"Your intelligence network is quite impressive; I am indeed your new boss!"

"I think I know what you're worried about, but I can tell you now—you're overthinking it!"

"You're the company's cash cow; I'd rather not touch you than anyone else."

"Moreover, there's no need to worry about the Suzuki family's evacuation; I can provide equal, or even more, resources."

"To be honest, I'm really angry about what happened tonight!"

"You can kill me if you want, neither can I or the company, but why in my apartment?"

"You know that after what you did, the apartment rent will definitely drop, since that place is practically a haunted house!"

"And in the future, if you're going to do something like this, you'd better inform the company first. At the very least, don't kill someone in my apartment!"

Lin Mo spoke calmly and immediately began to complain.

Yes!

Whether Yoko Okino is good or bad, it doesn't matter to me, as long as she's not in my apartment.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Yoko Okino, who was drinking tea, was slightly startled upon hearing this, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

but.

She is indeed a good actress; her surprise was only momentary, and she quickly recovered.

Her smile was a little awkward, but she still managed to explain, "Mr. Lin Mo, is there some misunderstanding? I just happened to run into you, boss, so I thought I'd have some tea with you as a way of getting to know you beforehand."

"To be honest, I did have some personal motives!"

"But I'm just worried about the future, so I want to find out what the new boss is like in advance."

"Mr. Lin Mo, you're really overthinking it!"

"And didn't Mr. Mori just tell the truth?"

"Teng Jiangjun... he committed suicide!"

"I never expected him to be so fragile, just because of such a small thing..."

"Oh well, it's my fault too!"

"If I had known what Mr. Yamagishi was doing back then, I would definitely have strongly opposed it."

"..."

Yoko Okino's face was filled with bitterness.

Especially her tearful appearance, which would make any man feel sorry for her.

I have to admit, this woman is truly a stunner!

Especially after doing something like this, to be able to maintain such a stable mindset, and even to put on an impromptu performance for yourself...

Great!

That's really impressive!
