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

Medieval Art Museum.

This is a three-story building with cracked exterior walls and a slightly dilapidated appearance. The yard is overgrown with weeds, clearly showing signs of neglect. The only noteworthy feature is its fairly large footprint.

Considering that this piece of land is located around Beika Town, its value is quite good.

Lin Mo stood at the gate, silently assessing the situation in his mind.

"What a pity about this art museum."

"A few years ago, this place had a pretty good flow of visitors, but it's become so dilapidated in just a few years. Clearly, this art museum hasn't kept up with the times!"

"I heard this place has been transferred to a new owner, and in a few days we might not see it anymore."

"We must appreciate this properly today!"

Amuro Tooru narrowed his eyes slightly, then let out a sigh.

And, in response to this.

Xiao Lan looked regretful upon hearing this.

She is a very sentimental person, so she naturally felt quite reluctant after hearing the news.

Lin Mo, however, twitched at the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Damn it.

Two members of the organization accompanied Ran Mouri on a visit to an art museum.

What a melodramatic plot!

Actually, he had considered stopping her earlier, and even pretended to be a man pursuing Xiaolan, using extremely vicious words to accuse him of being a waiter who was neglecting his duties and skipping work to disturb their time together...

In short.

Lin Mo did his best!

But, unfortunately.

Bourbon, that guy, has such a thick skin.

He pretended to be clueless the whole time, acting as if he couldn't understand what you were saying, and Xiaolan herself was a very shy person.

Especially after learning that Amuro Tooru's day wasn't actually a formal workday, but merely a test to see if his cakes were popular, and that the customers generally said they liked them...

therefore.

He has completed his task for the day, and now he has free time to himself.

So, sigh!

After a helpless sigh, even Xiao Lan nodded in agreement, so what else could Lin Mo say?

In the original work.

It used to be a trio of Mori, his daughter, and Conan, but now it's Ran and two other members of the organization.

This combination is truly bizarre!

"Alright, let's go."

Lin Mo ignored Amuro Tooru and headed towards the hall first, with Ran and Bourbon following closely behind.

However, along the way.

Amuro Tooru's gaze remained fixed on Lin Mo.

On the contrary, Xiaolan, this stunning beauty, was completely ignored.

Ticket office in the lobby.

Amuro Tooru, who joined temporarily, took the initiative to buy tickets for Lin Mo and Xiao Lan. Although Xiao Lan wanted to refuse, Lin Mo stopped her.

joke!

As a jerk who interrupted my time with Xiaolan, do you really expect me to save him money?

Even if the bill for this money will most likely be reimbursed by the organization, I still want to disgust Amuro Tooru once!

"Xiaolan, stop arguing!"

"Anyway, the tickets aren't worth much, and Mr. Amuro is so enthusiastic."

"Mr. Amuro will be unhappy if we refuse!"

"Let him pay!"

"We have to give them this face!"

Lin Mo was incredibly arrogant, giving Amuro Tooru no chance to refuse.

Xiaolan was embarrassed and had a bit of a headache.

She wanted to refute him but didn't know what to say; she just felt that Lin Mo's words were a bit strange.

Amuro Tooru's lips twitched, and his face turned slightly red.

He swore...

I was just being polite!

Normal people should be polite and decline each other's offers, right? Although he didn't care about the ticket price, Lin Mo's attitude disgusted him.

Listen to this...

What do you mean I won't be happy if you refuse me? What do you mean spending my money is giving me face?

Ha ha!

If that's the case, I don't need you to give me face!

but.

Even though Amuro Tooru's face flushed red, he still paid the money in the end, and secretly began to think about how to include the three tickets in his expense report next time.

Since it's an opportunity to take advantage of the organization's promotional offers, why not take advantage of it!

Five minutes later.

The three of them first arrived at the Earth Palace. Ran and Amuro Tooru began to seriously appreciate the art, but Lin Mo, on the other hand, couldn't muster any interest at all.

no way!

He has never been interested in art since he was a child, and felt that it was better to go out and eat a bowl of ramen.

The main reason I came here was to accompany Xiaolan, and also to think about Director Ochiai and see if I could win him over.

There are two reasons!

First of all, this old man is quite a fighter. Despite being an old man with a full head of white hair, he can wear armor weighing 30 to 50 kilograms and use a heavy sword weighing over 10 kilograms to kill Boss Zhenzhong. He can also lift the corpse with the sword and stick it into the wall.

To be honest, it's like Xiang Yu is alive today!

If this old man were ten years younger, even Makoto Kyogoku would have a hard time beating him.

Secondly, the second point.

The old man has a good personality and is quite suitable to be a housekeeper.

"Judging from everyone's expressions, you must really like these artworks, right?"

"If you like it, take another look."

"..."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Just as Lin Mo was pondering this, Director Ochiai stood behind the group.

His eyes were filled with melancholy, and his whole being exuded a sense of desolation.

Lin Mo remained calm and did not speak first.

"You are...?" Xiaolan asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Director Ochiai smiled and explained, "My apologies, my surname is Ochiai, and I am the director here!"

After saying that.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly saw Kubota handling his work without gloves not far away.

His face instantly darkened, and he lost all interest in paying attention to the crowd. He immediately rushed over and started cursing.

"Wa! Tian!"

"I've said it several times: wear gloves when handling artwork!"

Director Ochiai cursed loudly.

Upon hearing these words, Kubota turned deathly pale with fright.

Lin Mo and his group began to observe quietly.

Then, Iijima and Manaka, the original storyline, began to unfold one after another.

It was very interesting to observe in person!

The owner, Zhenzhong, is unruly and boasts that he wants to turn this place into a restaurant.

Kubota is not serious about his work and is heavily in debt.

Iijima harbors hostility towards Boss Manaka, making no attempt to conceal the hatred in her eyes.

In just a few minutes, the conflicts between the people were laid bare before everyone's eyes.

At last.

As Mr. Manaka left, Kubota left cursing, and Iijima also headed off to another place.

Director Ochiai's gaze was very deep as he stared intently at Boss Manaka's retreating figure before slowly preparing to head towards his office.

"Xiao Lan, and that waiter too."

"I have something I'd like to discuss with Director Ochiai. You two can wander around here for a while."

"Don't go to the other exhibition halls yet, or I won't be able to find you."

After saying that.

Lin Mo didn't wait for Xiao Lan to ask any questions before heading straight towards Director Ochiai.

Amuro Tooru's eyes narrowed slightly.

He began to think incessantly about what Lin Mo wanted to do.

Should we follow them and take a look?

Haha, no way!

Xiaolan is still here, it's hard to find a reason!

but……

Who is he?

He's Bourbon, after all!

How could such a small thing stop us?

therefore.

He immediately coughed and said, "Xiao Lan, I'm sorry!"

"I need to use the restroom, please wait here for me."
