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

Lin Mo was stunned after hearing Gin's words.

Hold the grass!

I just moved to this manor, and Gin already knows?

That's normal, though!

After all, the renovation of this villa was carried out using the organization's dedicated construction team.

"housekeeper."

"There's a car at the manor gate. Go and bring them in, and take them to the tea room as well."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he stood up straight.

He walked straight through the villa's connecting corridor and headed towards the reception tea room on the other side.

Akemi Miyano didn't want to see Gin, so she went to her bedroom on the second floor by herself.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Upon hearing this, Butler Ochiai got up, first instructing a maid to make tea, and then headed towards the manor gate.

no way!

There's no security team in the manor right now, so we can't just let the maids and servants do it, since that's not their job.

Ten minutes later.

Gin and Vodka, led by butler Ochiai, arrived at Lin Mo's tea room.

"Please, have a seat!"

After waving for the maid to leave, Lin Mo asked the butler, Ochiai, to make tea for everyone.

Director Ochiai nodded.

Although his expression remained calm, the fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead and the slight trembling of his muscles revealed that Gin and Vodka were putting considerable pressure on him.

no way!

Although he had already guessed that his boss's identity was not simple.

But when he actually saw Gin and Vodka, he was still a little frightened and scared.

That's normal!

After all, Gin and Vodka, even if they just stand quietly next to you, can make you realize that they are definitely not good people.

The murderous aura emanating from the two of them was practically overflowing.

After a while.

The butler, Ochiai, who had brewed the tea, stood quietly to the side.

And, in response to this.

Gin and Vodka didn't kick Lin Mo out, since Lin Mo's actions were practically aboveboard.

therefore……

Gin had already thoroughly investigated Ochiai's butler, including Asano Minoru, and his entire family history.

Should we let him leave?

no need!

The fact that Lin Mo did not mention Ochiai the butler himself proves that he was being groomed as a trusted confidant.

After the two sat down, Vodka spoke up: "Amaretto, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

"Just enjoy it." Lin Mo shrugged, his expression quite calm.

Gin glanced at Lin Mo before slowly speaking: "Your qualifications are still a bit questionable. I suggest you put several of your businesses in the open. Otherwise, relying solely on one entertainment company will make you very easy targets for certain forces."

Gin neither mocked nor joked.

He showed no surprise at Lin Mo's current enjoyment, and simply gave Lin Mo a brief reminder.

Actually, it's not easy!

After all, among the many codenamed members in the organization, only one or two people are qualified to be reminded by Gin.

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

This is indeed a problem; he hadn't really thought of it before.

Although he is not afraid of any challenges, his only publicly known business is indeed an entertainment company.

To some extent, he is indeed unworthy of his position!

after all……

Island nations are countries that emphasize hierarchy and social status; it's best not to do certain things if you haven't reached a certain social class.

"You're right, I'll pay attention."

"Just say it."

"Gin, you never come here unless you have a reason. What mission does the organization have for me this time?"

Lin Mo didn't waste any words and immediately asked.

And, in response to this.

Gin was not surprised at all and immediately gestured to the vodka.

Seeing this, Vodka took out a file folder.

Lin Mo took it and immediately opened it, beginning to carefully study the information inside.

Gin lit a cigarette and then spoke in a cold tone: "The Takasugi Group is getting in the way. They have several companies that are affecting the organization's development."

"The key point is that they control a dock, two shipping companies, a fishing company, and a computer software company!"

"That dock affects the organization's arms business; the shipping routes of those two shipping companies overlap with one of the organization's secret channels; and there's a team in that computer software company that is the talent the organization urgently needs right now."

"Therefore, after careful consideration, the organization is prepared to destroy the Takasugi Foundation!"

As Gin spoke, Lin Mo listened while looking at the materials and quickly grasped the gist of it.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke.

"If that's all, is it really necessary to target the Takasugi Group?"

"Although the Takasugi family is relatively weak, they have still entered the ranks of second-tier conglomerates, even if they are still at the bottom."

"They wield considerable influence even within various public service organizations!"

"If the docks are a problem, just seize them."

"Including those two shipping groups, it wouldn't be difficult to acquire them. As for that computer software company, the organization only values ​​the team."

"Digging it out shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"Why target the Takasugi Group? I feel it's such a small matter, there's no need to make a fuss!"

At this moment, Lin Mo truly couldn't understand it.

You should know...

Targeting several companies under Takasugi's control is a completely different level of difficulty compared to directly waging war against the Takasugi family!

At the very least.

Based on what I know now, the organization has no need to destroy the Takasugi Foundation.

And, in response to this.

Gin did not answer, but continued smoking.

Lin Mo didn't rush him, nor did he skip the topic. After all, he wasn't an undercover agent for any other force, so he didn't need to be as cautious as Bourbon.

If you have a question, just ask. If you don't want to talk about it, just refuse!

Two minutes later.

Gin took a rare deep breath, then gave Lin Mo a profound look.

"Lin Mo..."

"You're right!"

"Under normal circumstances, the organization has no need to go to war with the Takasugi family!"

"This mission is a test."

"This is a test for you, Lin Mo!"

"What you don't know is that although your access level is C, your level of trust is A."

"Your level of trust is on par with mine, Vermouth's, and Rum's!"

"The organization's boss is preparing to give you an important position; this is the final, ultimate test."

"This probing was orchestrated by Rum. Your action team monitored you throughout the process, and the final review was conducted by Rum's intelligence group, with the organization's boss making the final judgment."

"If you can complete this mission, your privileges will be upgraded to Level A."

"You will gain the ability to directly contact the boss, as well as the authority to mobilize all codenamed members except for me, Rum, and Vermouth. Even your access to intelligence within the organization's intranet will be directly upgraded to Level A..."

"This time, it's the Takasugi family!"

"It's a test of your overall control and top-level command. Simply put, it's to test whether you have the ability to become a commander."

"therefore……"

"You currently have the authority to call upon five codenamed members, not limited to the intelligence group and the operations group. You can choose the personnel you wish to use."

"Peripheral members can be used at will!"

Keep trying.

I look forward to your performance!
