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

Yoko Okino remained silent.

She didn't know what to say about Lin Mo's evaluation of the boss.

At last.

She could only say with a bitter expression, "As a woman, I dare not get involved with yakuza organizations, for fear of dragging myself down with them."

"He has a bit of cleverness, but no great wisdom!" Lin Mo commented again.

Seeing Yoko Okino's puzzled expression, Lin Mo could only say again, "First of all, you are Future Entertainment's top star; 70% of the company's revenue depends on you."

"Use your rusty brain to think: would the company allow a yakuza organization to attack you?"

"The company's original Suzuki family, do you think they would be afraid of yakuza organizations?"

"As for me, someone who can trade with the Suzuki family, even if you don't know my background, you should at least understand one thing: someone who can trade with the Suzuki family, even if their power is not as great as the Suzuki family, shouldn't be afraid of yakuza organizations, right?"

"It seems you haven't grasped the situation at all. What do you think is the purpose of this company's existence?"

"The company does nothing, yet it takes 50% of your profits?"

"The company didn't make this money for nothing. The company is responsible for your daily life and management, as well as handling any troubles you encounter."

So, don't worry.

"You're the company's cash cow. As your boss, I wouldn't cheat you, since I'm counting on you to make money for me."

Only after Lin Mo explained did Yoko Okino finally relax.

I see...

Thinking of this, her lips curled into a bitter smile.

Damn it!

If I had known all this beforehand, why would I have risked my life?

There's nothing we can do about it!

Perhaps because of her humble background, she has been working hard and scheming with people in the entertainment industry all these years, so she has never had time to get close to the upper echelons.

and so.

Despite her ruthless methods tonight, she still believes she is committing a crime, so naturally she doesn't dare to say it out loud.

To put it bluntly...

Although she has now become a top idol and has one foot in the upper echelons of society, she still holds universal values ​​and, simply put, her mindset has not changed at all.

"I was forced into it!"

"That damned Teng Jiangmingyi, he clearly took the money back then and promised to pretend we never knew each other..."

"But recently, he's reappeared."

"Using the excuse of lingering feelings, she keeps pestering me to get back together with me, and even said that she was deceived by Eiichi Yamagishi back then."

"His words are much nicer than his actions, but he never even mentioned the money he accepted back then..."

"My agent is somewhat useful. I had him investigate Teng Jiangmingyi and found out that he did indeed have huge debts from gambling. Now he's only contacting me to try and cover his debts."

"Moreover, according to Eiichi Yamagishi, there is also the shadow of the Yakuza organization behind Akira Fujie."

"I can't stand it anymore!"

"I know that once I pay the first sum of money, Teng Jiangmingyi will never let go, and I will definitely be completely entangled with him from now on."

"no way!"

"I have no choice but to kill him."

"It just so happens that Ikezawa Yuko and I are about the same size, and she's been giving me a lot of trouble lately. I had Yamagishi Eiichi set up a simple trap, and she actually stole my house key and made a copy."

"Perfect..."

"Let's take this opportunity to imprison her. Even if we don't send her to jail, we can still ruin her reputation!"

"At the very least."

"After learning about this, the company will not promote such a person with impure thoughts and unclear mind, even to avoid future trouble."

"..."

With Yoko Okino's explanation, Lin Mo finally understood the whole thing.

According to her, it wasn't Yoko Okino who was ruthless, but rather that Akira Fujie was disgusting.

Yoko Okino is right. Once she pays the first sum of money, she'll be stuck with it for life.

Of course.

Lin Mo also knew that this woman was definitely not telling the whole story; there was definitely something she was hiding.

But it doesn't matter!

Even if she doesn't say it, Lin Mo won't force her.

After all, she's the company's cash cow. As long as the problems she causes aren't too serious, the company will definitely protect her and clean up her messes.

"Okay, I got it!"

"Tomorrow I will have someone contact Eiichi Yamagishi. At that time, you can have your manager tell you everything he knows."

"Since you dare to provoke my people, it's clear you don't take me, Lin Mo, seriously."

"That yakuza organization has no reason to exist!"

Lin Mo spoke, his tone quite ruthless.

If it were Fujie Akira who provoked Okino Yoko, then this matter would naturally end here.

But, damn it.

Is there a yakuza organization behind this?

This is very wrong!

Especially considering the Suzuki family's previous probing of him, he wondered if others, seeing that he had taken over the company, were also testing him to see if he, as the new boss, was qualified to take over this entertainment company.

But it doesn't matter!

Whether it's a test or not, since they dare to reach out, they should just give up their claws!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Hearing Lin Mo's murderous words, Yoko Okino was also shocked.

She previously thought that by killing Teng Jiangmingyi, she had already fallen from grace, but now, looking at the murderous new boss in front of her, who was about to destroy an entire yakuza organization...

This moment.

She instantly realized how foolish she had been!

No wonder he's a boss. Although he looks a few years younger than me, his methods are far beyond my reach.

Thinking about her actions just now, her face began to burn.

She instantly understood that, in Lin Mo's eyes, she was probably just a clown.

"Um, Mr. Lin Mo."

"May I ask when you realized something was wrong with this case?"

After hesitating for a long time, Yoko Okino finally tried to speak.

And, in response to this.

Without any hesitation, Lin Mo said directly, "From the moment you showed up at the Mouri Detective Agency."

"So early?" Yoko Okino looked surprised.

Lin Mo nodded: "A top-tier national idol, instead of bringing bodyguards and a security team, comes to hire a third-rate detective. Do you really think that's normal?"

"At that time, although I didn't know you had killed someone, I knew your purpose was definitely not pure, at the very least it wasn't simply to find your tracker."

"Especially since I was about to go home, and I'm not some seasoned detective, but you insisted on dragging me along?"

"At that moment, I knew for sure that you had something on your mind about me!"

"So let's be frank, what exactly do you want from me?"

"State your purpose!"

At this moment, Lin Mo was genuinely curious.

Yoko Okino killed Akira Fujie, but he really didn't care much about it.

in contrast.

He was very curious about why this woman wanted to see him, her current boss.
