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

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's lips twitched.

Good guy!

I never imagined that my casual thought would lead Gin to have other ideas about the undercover agent?

But it's a good thing!

After lighting a cigarette, Lin Mo spoke calmly: "Gin, have you ever thought about this? Those spies who are sent here are actually elites trained by various forces. Otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to infiltrate the organization."

"Actually, in some ways, none of these people are truly talented!"

"Even if we don't let them have access to the organization's core, just having them constantly complete various tasks can actually help the organization do a lot of things."

"Official forces are paying for and providing talent to the organization!"

"In my opinion, the more of this kind of thing, the better."

Gin's lips twitched upon hearing this.

then……

After a deep sigh, he had to admit one thing: the Chinese people's way of thinking is really different from that of the island nation.

At the very least.

In island nations, people from all social classes adhere to a clear distinction between black and white, and see justice and evil as opposing forces.

However, Lin Mo's words had a somewhat mediocre flavor to them!

Is there a layer of gray between black and white?

Of course.

He didn't intend to say much more, since the success of this matter depended on how well Lin Mo completed his mission.

Therefore, next...

Gin didn't talk to Lin Mo for long. After confirming the details, he left with Vodka.

Lin Mo escorted them to the villa entrance, watching as the two drove away quietly from his estate in a black Porsche 356A.

……

Ten minutes later.

After Lin Mo returned to the living room, the butler, Ochiai, learned that Lin Mo needed to think, so he had a servant bring him a cup of coffee.

Lin Mo took the coffee, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What a decadent life!

However, he liked it very much!

After all, he doesn't need to ask questions; someone else has already thought of everything for him.

After taking a quick sip, Lin Mo looked at the pale-faced butler Ochiai and asked, "Butler, are you alright?"

"Sir, please don't worry." Butler Ochiai shook his head upon hearing this, "I'm fine."

"Since I made this decision, I was naturally prepared for it."

"After all, looking at the setup of that basement a while ago, I could tell that the power behind you, sir, must be extraordinary."

"but……"

"The Takasugi Group is no ordinary entity!"

"That's a behemoth. Are you sure your next mission is alright?"

His eyes were filled with worry.

Obviously.

Director Ochiai was genuinely grateful to Lin Mo, so he began to worry about Lin Mo from the bottom of his heart.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo let out a soft sigh.

"housekeeper……"

"You underestimate the organization!"

"You've met with people like Keisuke Oshima and Tetsuya Yamazaki during this time, haven't you?"

Although he had only taken a short nap, considering that the manor had been moved in, he might not know the specifics, but he figured that Butler Ochiai must have seen his subordinates.

In fact, the same is true.

Butler Ochiai nodded upon hearing this and immediately said, "Sir, your subordinates are indeed an elite group; each of them would be a top talent if placed outside."

Lin Mo nodded; it was indeed true.

"Butler, did you know?" Lin Mo immediately spoke up, "Keisuke Oshima and the others are also members of the organization."

"But their strength was far from sufficient, so they were not qualified to receive an organization codename; they were just a group of peripheral members before."

To put it bluntly, they're just cannon fodder!

"They're cannon fodder who can be sacrificed at will; the organization doesn't care about them at all."

"Only those of us who have truly earned a code name, like myself and those two just now, are qualified to not be sacrificed at will within the organization."

"Yamazaki Tetsuya is not a member of the organization!"

"But if he really joins the organization, he can only be a peripheral cannon fodder."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Butler Ochiai gasped.

How is that possible?

At that moment, he couldn't believe it!

After all, he had actually met Lin Mo's subordinates, and in his opinion, each of them was an elite. But he never imagined that in the eyes of that mysterious organization, they could only be considered cannon fodder that could be sacrificed at will.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Seeing the shocked expression on Ochiai's face, Lin Mo spoke again slowly and deliberately.

"So, do you understand?"

"Your worries are actually unnecessary. The Takasugi Group is nothing special; at most, it's just a bit of a hassle."

"And the real problem lies with the rules!"

"To completely swallow up the Takasugi Group, we need to consider the transfer of wealth, which involves various government departments and the possibility of other groups taking the opportunity to cause trouble..."

"If it's just about killing a group of people and stealing some things or people, then any codename member could do it."

"The test I'm facing this time is how to wipe out the Takasugi family without causing panic in the zaibatsu circle, without attracting the attention of the Metropolitan Police Department and other authorities, and also to completely transfer the Takasugi family's wealth without harming them."

At this point, Lin Mo was actually having a bit of a headache!

Unlike the missions he had encountered before, this mission required considering far too many factors; it was nothing like the previous missions where you could simply kill and leave.

The Takasugi family is different from the Seba family!

The Seiha family has just entered the zaibatsu circle; in essence, they are just nouveau riche.

His internal shareholding structure and personnel composition are relatively simple, with Seiwa Sontoku being the sole controller.

Once you get Sewane Takayuki under control, all your problems will be easily solved!

The Takasugi family, however, is different.

This is a mid-tier zaibatsu, only one level below the Suzuki family.

kill?

It's useless!

These conglomerates have a well-established underlying plan, with various offshore structures, shell companies, and charitable foundations, which have long since broken up their industries and wealth into pieces.

Killing just one person, even a clan leader, is meaningless.

Because if one person dies, another will take their place, and it's difficult for those industries to relocate.

Not to mention...

Even if a conglomerate like the Takasugi family doesn't hold a high-ranking position in an official organization, it still wields enormous influence.

In the original work, Takasugi Toshihiko's marriage to Matsumoto Sayuri was actually one of the methods of forming an alliance.

In reality, it's all about setting up the Metropolitan Police Department!

This is just one of the various schemes and strategies employed by the Takasugi family, but it also reveals just how much of a network the Takasugi family has built over the past two or three generations...

Handling this matter without taking any damage is indeed a challenge for Lin Mo!

But it doesn't matter.

He was confident that if he handled things well, taking over the Takasugi family wouldn't be too difficult.
