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

Xiao Lan looked completely bewildered.

They had originally planned to visit the art museum together, but now Lin Mo wanted to talk to Director Ochiai, and Amuro Tooru, the waiter, also made an excuse to pee and ran away.

Shameless!

Is there any difference between this and shopping alone?

Thinking about this, Xiaolan felt a sudden discomfort in her heart.

But there was nothing we could do!

It's too late to regret it now, but luckily Xiaolan has a good attitude and went to enjoy the exhibition on her own.

the other side.

Lin Mo was unaware of Amuro Tooru's shamelessness and, thinking that Ran would have him for the time being, approached him with complete peace of mind: "Director Ochiai, I'd like to talk to you, is that alright?"

"Sir, I'm very sorry," Director Ochiai said with a smile, declining, "I'm a bit busy right now and don't have much time."

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo wasn't surprised, because he knew what Director Ochiai was preparing to do.

Thinking of this, he glanced around.

After realizing there weren't many people around, he spoke in a very low voice, "Director Ochiai, are you busy preparing to kill Boss Manaka?"

"Sir, you..." Director Ochiai was stunned.

His usually narrowed eyes widened instantly, and his pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.

no way!

Lin Mo's words were like a thunderbolt, instantly striking him and leaving him scorched and battered.

Seeing this, Lin Mo smiled slightly and said, "Director Ochiai, can we talk now?"

"Alright, come with me." Director Ochiai nodded slowly.

His gaze toward Lin Mo was extremely complex, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

At last.

He still brought Lin Mo to his office, made Lin Mo a cup of coffee, and then spoke.

"Sir, what would you like to talk to me about?"

"I don't know how you knew, but do you want me to give up on revenge?"

"Impossible, I've made up my mind!"

"I must kill that demon, Manaka, even if I, this knight, am about to be covered in blood!"

Lin Mo picked up his coffee cup, took a quick sip, and then shook his head.

After quickly organizing his thoughts, he didn't waste any more words: "Director Ochiai, let me get straight to the point."

"I don't care about whether Mr. Manaka lives or dies. I'm not a detective, and I don't care about justice or evil. I only value you as a person."

"I need a butler, and although you're not a professional butler, I think you'd be perfect for the job!"

"Of course, please don't rush!"

"Listen to the offer I've prepared for you. I know you really like the collection here, and I can help you buy it all at once."

"If you only want to appreciate and protect the collection, I can give it to you directly."

"If you want people to see it, I can open a small private museum for you."

"So? Interested?"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Director Ochiai was instantly stunned.

That's normal!

Although Lin Mo didn't discuss salary and benefits, the promise he made was quite valuable. Even if he were to be Lin Mo's butler for life, his salary would still be far less than what Lin Mo was offering.

His voice was a little hoarse, and after a long pause, he slowly spoke: "I have never worked as a butler before. What makes this gentleman think I can do it well?"

"Because you actually dared to kill someone in your next batch of collections." Lin Mo spoke the truth without hesitation.

Director Ochiai was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

His eyes looked a little blank: "It's that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple!" Lin Mo picked up his coffee, took a sip, and put it down. "Did you think it was that complicated?"

"Director Ochiai, what do you consider to be the best qualities of a butler?"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's question, Director Ochiai fell silent instantly.

Professional? Elegant? Knowledgeable?

He considered countless possibilities, but dared not speak them out with certainty.

Before he knew it, he had fallen for her.

After all, Lin Mo's offer precisely hit his Achilles' heel!

It's a bit unbelievable, but he truly loves the collection here.

and so.

After subconsciously assuming Lin Mo was the boss, he was hesitant to speak up.

Lin Mo, without waiting for Director Ochiai's reply, gave his own answer: "The most important qualities of a butler are loyalty and tight-lippedness, because as a butler, one has access to all the secrets of the master's household, the most shameful, disgusting, and unspeakable things."

"A butler's professional skills can be learned, but loyalty and discretion cannot be bought!"

"Moreover, my family situation is rather unique."

"It's easy to attract some petty thugs, and I don't want to move to a big estate for the time being, nor do I want to hire any professional bodyguards, so being able to fight is also very important."

"Butler Ochiai, you're quite the fighter!"

"Therefore, after careful consideration, I believe you are very suitable to be my housekeeper, and paying a little price for it is nothing."

"so……"

"I've said everything I needed to say. Butler Ochiai, what's your choice?"

Lin Mo lit a cigarette and then looked at Butler Ochiai.

Of course.

He also knew that the best time to win over Director Ochiai was after he committed a crime; all he had to do was cover up the evidence.

But there's no need!

Although Lin Mo's current resources are average and he can't be considered a conglomerate, he can still be described as having considerable capital.

Why make things so complicated when money can solve them?

Change the plot?

No, that's too low-class!

Lin Mo's goal is to completely dismantle the plot; he will never allow anyone who gains his approval to be tainted with bloodshed.

He already has someone who does dirty work.

Even if needed, they can be transferred from the organization; those people have all been stained with blood and have all pledged their allegiance.

From the organization's perspective, everything is done according to the rules!

However, he doesn't need so many bloody people for the core force he's building, since this force will be out in the open from now on.

Butler Ochiai replied without hesitation, "Okay, I agree!"

"A very wise choice." Lin Mo nodded.

Lin Mo was not surprised by his choice.

Any normal person would make this choice!

Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Are the paperwork for this collection held by your former boss or by this Mr. Zhenzhong?"

"Boss Manaka, this is it," the butler Ochiai replied.

Lin Mo nodded and made a phone call in front of him: "Yamazaki, I need to do something."

"..."

He briefly explained the situation of the medieval art museum, especially the collection, to the owner, Mr. Zhenzhong, and then instructed him to "buy" the collection as quickly as possible.

Key point—Buy!

As for what method Yamazaki Tetsuya would use, that was not something Lin Mo needed to consider.

Seeing this, Director Ochiai couldn't help but say, "That Mr. Manaka is very difficult to talk to. Should I go and speak to him on your behalf?"

Obviously.

He was a little worried!

He knew very well how wicked this Mr. Manaka was; he was the kind of person who would rather burn all these collections down than sell them to Director Ochiai.

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo couldn't help but purse his lips before shaking his head.

"No need, and don't overthink it."

"That so-called boss of Zhenzhong is nothing in my eyes."

"If you're planning to leave your job, you'd better come work for me tonight."
