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

Tokyo, Shibuya.

A well-located bar was not serving any customers at the moment, clearly indicating that it was a shared location for an organization.

At this moment, Vermouth was holding a glass of bourbon, looking extremely agitated.

"Hey, Gin!"

"What is Amaretto's true identity?"

"Hurry up and tell me!"

At this moment, she was quite irritable.

Obviously.

She didn't gain any advantage from this meeting with Amaretto; on the contrary, Lin Mo got the upper hand verbally.

A bitch?

kid?

Second generation of the organization?

A wife who spends money recklessly?

Thinking about these evaluations of herself, Vermouth was almost furious.

Damn it!

She, Vermouth, had been so successful in the organization for so many years, and had never suffered such a great loss before.

If she doesn't get revenge, she's not called Vermouth!

But, unfortunately.

That Amaretto is very shrewd. Even though she personally went to follow him this time, she didn't expect to lose him in the end.

Having no other options, he naturally had no choice but to turn to Gin for help.

Why not check through the organization's internal network?

Hehe!

Of course you can't find it!

Upon hearing this, Gin, who was drinking at the time, couldn't help but smirk dismissively: "I never expected that you, Vermouth, would ever be so humiliated!"

"Hey, Gin!" Vermouth, her voice dripping with murderous intent, yelled, "Watch your mouth!"

Unfortunately, it's a pity.

Gin's face remained utterly disdainful: "Give up. It's impossible!"

"Through the organization's numerous tests of Amaretto, and the professional analysis of its internal think tank, it is 100% impossible that Amaretto is a spy for any other force!"

"Members with these codenames are incredibly rare!"

"Looking at the entire organization now, Amaretto's level of trust is almost on par with that of me, Vodka, you, Rum, and this small group of people."

"Therefore, although Amaretto's authority level is still C, the boss personally verified his level of trust within the organization a few days ago."

"Grade A!"

"Just like you and me, the highest level of trust!"

"Therefore, even Rum is not qualified to access information about Amaretto."

"If he hadn't been in the organization for so short a time, he would already be qualified to contact the boss directly."

"Of course, it won't be long!"

"When the boss contacted me a few days ago, he decided to put Amaretto to the test one last time. This time, the test will be provided by Rum, and the action team will be responsible for supervising Amaretto."

"If Amaretto executes this perfectly, his clearance will be upgraded to Level A, and he will gain the qualification to contact the boss directly."

"Even though he'll still belong to the action team, his command authority will be second only to mine!"

"From now on, unless it's a direct order from the boss, Amaretto can command all the codenamed members except for me, Rum, and you!"

"Now, do you understand?"

"Let me give you a piece of advice: don't mess with Amaretto!"

Vermouth was completely dumbfounded by Gin's words.

Hold the grass!

It’s incredible!

How is that possible?

Amaretto, hasn't he only been in the organization for a few months?

The speed at which he increased his privileges is terrifying!

It's important to know that even among the codenamed members, there are actually different levels.

Organization boss, highest level.

She, Vermouth, Gin, and Rum belong to the second tier.

Piscoe, who is semi-retired, has a certain social status granted by the organization, and is generally not assigned missions, belongs to the third-tier codename members.

High privileges, no task required!

As long as you're not courting death, you can just quietly enjoy life.

Brands like Chianti, Cohen, and Vodka belong to the fourth tier.

Average ability, high level of trust.

The fifth tier consists of people like Amaretto, Tequila, Calvados, Ireland, Curaçao, and Binga. This tier is also trusted by the organization, but for various reasons, they are only ordinary codename members.

The sixth tier, on the other hand, receives limited trust!

For example, Bourbon, who was not exposed, and people who had received training.

Even though their identities are not yet confirmed, their daily activities still reveal a certain official, trained demeanor.

Yes.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Bourbon's codenamed members are still living well every day; it's just that they haven't been exposed yet.

Actually...

They have always marked the organization on the list as "questionable"!

The reason is simple.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they can kill whoever they're told to. People who have received training from official organizations actually have many other behaviors that they can't hide on a daily basis.

For example, the way you hold a gun, your combat stance, etc.

Once the organization discovers these specific postures, they will be directly classified as members of the sixth echelon!

The seventh tier is also the worst-performing tier.

The representative figure in this group is Kiel from Nichiri TV!

The organization has most likely already determined that this person is problematic. Even if Kiel's mission was executed perfectly, it wouldn't matter. It's just that the organization hasn't chosen to completely eliminate him yet because there isn't enough concrete evidence.

As mentioned before, the organization has very few codenamed members!

Each codenamed member is an elite member recognized by the organization, so unless there is irrefutable evidence, the organization will generally use them cautiously rather than eliminating them with a single shot.

As for those codenamed members who have been completely exposed, they can no longer be considered part of the organization's echelons...

Eliminate them immediately if they are exposed!

Amaretto, who originally belonged to the fifth tier, unexpectedly gained the boss's trust.

Even after a final mission, can they be on equal footing with me?

Vermouth, upon realizing this, couldn't help but show a hint of shock.

After a long pause, she asked again, "Could you tell me what the task prepared for Amaretto is?"

"That's not a restriction, is it?"

Vermouth was indeed very curious, after all, there hadn't been a mission like this in their organization for nearly ten years.

And, in response to this.

Gin didn't hide anything: "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, since Rum is in charge."

"I only know that it's highly likely to be related to the Takasugi Group, but we'll have to wait for Rum to inform us of the specifics."

Vermouth nodded.

She could actually understand why the organization boss had made this arrangement.

After all, Amaretto is on Gin's side. Although their relationship is actually just so-so, the organization's boss has to think things through more deeply.

Rum, who had never been in contact with Amaretto, was put in charge of the mission. The action team was responsible for monitoring and supervising the entire process, Rum's intelligence team was responsible for the final review, and finally the mission was submitted to the boss for final confirmation...

"The Takasugi Group?"

"Hmph, this is interesting!"

"Right now, I'm actually starting to look forward to it a little."

"It seems I really made the right choice coming to this island nation."
