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

It was 2:40 AM.

When Lin Mo returned to the guesthouse and prepared to wash up and go to bed, he found Vermouth sitting in the living room.

"Late at night..."

"What are you doing instead of sleeping?"

Lin Mo frowned, somewhat puzzled.

After all, this mission doesn't require the woman to lift a finger.

The woman was already asleep when I left, so why is she suddenly sitting in the living room now?

"What? I've been waiting for you!"

Vermouth, holding her glass of red wine, swirled it as she looked at Lin Mo: "If your operation fails, I'll definitely have to find a way to salvage it. After all, we can't just let the operation fail, can we?"

At this moment, she appeared very casual.

However, her eyes were very serious. After all, even though they might fight and joke around normally, they certainly couldn't compromise on their organizational tasks.

otherwise……

Even if it's Vermouth, she won't have a good time when she gets back!

"Don't worry, it's all taken care of!"

"The peripheral members were there to clean up the mess and assess and transfer the group's assets."

"That's a huge project; it won't be finished in less than two weeks!"

Lin Mo shrugged, his tone casual.

These codenamed cadres were responsible for tackling tough tasks, which were risky but relatively simple, and they could basically retreat after finishing the job.

As for the rest of the work, that's the job of the peripheral members!

"So fast?"

Vermouth was taken aback upon hearing this.

Lin Mo sat down next to Vermouth, poured himself a glass of red wine, and said as he sipped, "Just three small fry, how long will it take?"

After saying that, Lin Mo took a drink and almost threw up.

It tastes awful!

It seems that someone like me is not suited to enjoy such high-end things.

At last.

He poured himself a glass of warm water!

Seeing this, Vermouth smiled without mocking her, but simply sighed and said, "Doing missions with you is so easy. How about we form a fixed team, like Gin and Vodka, or Chianti and Cohen?"

"Forget it, stop!" Lin Mo immediately retorted, "Absolutely impossible!"

"I don't trust you, go find someone else."

"Even if I have to team up, my first choice is Gin, or even vodka."

"I don't like the others!"

After saying that.

Lin Mo ignored Vermouth and took his bathrobe to the bathroom to wash up.

As for forming a team?

Ideally, you should be a lone wolf, like Kiel, Bourbon, and Tequila...

Even if he really had to team up, he preferred to team up with Gin and Vodka, and the reason was quite simple and straightforward.

So naive!

They're all genuine people!

Gin may look fierce, but as long as you complete the mission, he won't bother with anything else.

Being with him means you don't need to guess!

He says whatever he thinks, and it's easy to be with him.

The same goes for vodka!

On the contrary, people like Bourbon and Vermouth, whose every word is full of probing and who have to scheme against each other every day, are too tiring.

He politely declined to associate with such people.

Vermouth: "..."

Being rejected so directly by Lin Mo made her very unhappy.

After all, no matter what, she's a beautiful woman, right?

Think about Calvados and his gang; they'd do anything for me with just a flick of the wrist, even jump into fire for me...

Lin Mo? He's so boring!

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After getting up feeling refreshed, Lin Mo had a simple breakfast with the Mori family before heading back to Tokyo with Vermouth.

After all, the important business has been taken care of, so there's no point in staying here!

Not to mention...

I told Kogoro Mouri yesterday that I would be heading back to Tokyo for work early this morning.

Kogoro Mouri was also quite reluctant to part with it!

The reason is simple and unpretentious.

He really liked Lin Mo, his drinking buddy. Drinking and bragging together was just too comfortable!

But, unfortunately.

Lin Mo had to rush back to work. Although Kogoro Mouri was very reluctant to part with him, he said goodbye to Lin Mo and then continued his investigation with great reluctance.

only.

The investigation into Keiji Aso still yielded no results!

The fact that they were able to investigate in the original work meant that Asahi Narumi had committed the crime, so their investigation was naturally more in-depth.

But now, things are different!

Lin Mo eliminated Ma Shengshi's real enemy, and the organization took over the cleanup work. Ordinary people's crimes are easy to leave traces, but the organization has a standard procedure in this regard.

It's impossible for a detective like Conan to uncover this.

In fact, the same is true.

The Mori family spent two days investigating on the island, but ultimately found nothing and had no choice but to return to Tokyo.

There's nothing we can do about it!

Ran and Conan have to go to school, and Kogoro Mouri has to go to work too!

On the ship.

Conan frowned slightly, holding the letter in his hand.

"Something's not right, something's definitely not right!"

"This letter is definitely a criminal premonition, considering it includes half a million dollars. A normal prank wouldn't go this far!"

Why...?

"Why didn't a case occur, and why was nothing ever uncovered in the end?"

"Keiji Aso!"

"A ghost who died 12 years ago, and whose entire family has died out?"

"impossible!"

"Although I have no evidence, this Keiji Aso definitely has descendants, and he's definitely seeking revenge for his father!"

"But why did nothing happen?"

"What exactly happened in between that made the other party change their mind?"

"besides……"

"If there was something wrong with Keiji Aso's death back then, then who killed him?"

Conan's expression was very serious, and his brain began to work frantically.

But, unfortunately!

He still had too few clues, and as a student, he didn't stay on Moonshadow Island for very long.

But let's wait and see.

I will not give up on this case. When I have my next vacation, I will come back to investigate as long as I have nothing to do!

the other side.

Ran and Kogoro Mouri, on the other hand, didn't take it too seriously, since their original idea was simply to return the 500,000 yen.

As for Conan's vow, is Lin Mo, the murderer, afraid?

Haha, of course I'm not afraid!

Because he was all too aware of Conan's power as the son of death, he encountered a multitude of bizarre cases whether he was in school or on vacation, and he simply didn't have the experience of coming to Moonshadow Island again.

With a multitude of cases surrounding him, Conan's energy is quite limited!

How much energy can he spare to investigate the unresolved case of Moonshadow Island?

Not to mention...

At most half a month, the organization will be able to relocate all its industries!

At that time.

Faced with the three bodies that had simply evaporated, Conan couldn't even confirm their deaths.

Without a beginning or an end, how can we investigate?
