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

(I have to go out unexpectedly today, so I probably won't be able to finish writing this. However, I'll try to finish it after midnight, and if I can't finish it, I'll finish it tomorrow. Sorry, everyone!)

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

As Shiratori Ninzaburo spoke, the people who were called out did not answer, but instead fell into deep thought.

The reason is simple!

If Shiratori Ninzaburo could see their great potential, couldn't the others in the Metropolitan Police Department see it too?

But none of them had any big dreams.

They just want to find a stable job during this economic downturn, and of course, it would be even better if they could bring some justice to the world. Simply put, the life they yearn for is a stable little life, and incidentally, they can help others as much as possible in their work.

Climb up?

They didn't have that idea!

But the current situation forces them to think this way.

Because the only person qualified to take responsibility for this matter is Shiratori Ninzaburo, and no one else is qualified to confront the Takasugi family directly.

But, the same!

They couldn't possibly ask Shiratori Ninzaburo to force his way in; after all, they couldn't afford to offend the Takasugi family, but could they really afford to offend the Shiratori family?

and so.

To truly resolve this issue, resource exchange is the only option.

Shiratori can gain a few "insiders" in the Metropolitan Police Department, which will make it easier for him to explain the matter back to his family, and he might even receive some praise; and these people can also rely on Shiratori Ninzaburo to escape the current crisis!

As for holding a grudge?

impossible!

Adults might be willing to help out with small things, so it's no big deal.

But when it comes to such important matters, all they talk about is exchanging benefits!

"Okay, I agree!"

"Since you think highly of this old man, how about you serve the Shiratori family from now on?"

"not to mention……"

"Shiratori, you have a great personality and temperament. Following you won't be a bad thing for us!"

Inspector Megure spoke first.

Perhaps it was to convince himself, and also to enlighten others, that's why he said that last sentence.

Yes!

Shiratori has a pretty good temper; at the very least, he's not the domineering type.

If one must choose a faction to rely on, then Shiratori Ninzaburo is indeed a good choice!

The others nodded in agreement.

Takagi Wataru, Chiba Kazunobu, Sato Miwako...

Although the characters in the original work are somewhat naive and there is some truth to it, the anime certainly cannot portray them all.

As adults, they naturally understand everything they should!

"join in!"

"Me too!"

"join in!"

The three of them spoke up, and the matter was settled.

Upon seeing this scene, Shiratori Ninzaburo couldn't help but smile slightly.

He's very happy now, he even feels like he's made a huge profit!

Although these people hold relatively low positions, they are all generally promising individuals.

Takagi Wataru, Chiba Kazunobu.

These two are quite capable. With a little push from the Shiratori family, they should have no problem rising to the rank of police inspector within a few years.

Miwako Sato is a second-generation heiress!

His father may not have a high position, but he is a good person and has a high reputation among the lower-ranking police officers. Therefore, if he were to take down Sato Miwako, it would be a good addition to the Shiratori family.

More importantly, she's a semi-professional!

Although he is slightly inferior to his own professional group, with the support of the Shiratori family's resources, there is a high possibility that he will be promoted to police inspector.

Even if it wasn't the love he longed for, simply seeking refuge with the Shiratori family was still a good thing for him.

At least...

We're closer now!

Finally, there's Inspector Megure, who also gained the most.

He himself is a police inspector, even if he is only a semi-professional, but his achievements are already enough!

He had stayed in this position because he didn't join any factions, but now that he's joined the Shiratori family, he could be promoted to superintendent tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Shiratori Renzaburo took a deep breath before speaking seriously.

"Leave the interrogation to me!"

"The rest of you, get out of here. Don't get involved in this. I'll take responsibility for this alone."

And, in response to this.

The others didn't say much either, since this was something that had been decided long ago.

Followed by.

After everyone had left, Shiratori Ninzaburo's eyes slowly began to turn dangerous.

Looking at the unconscious Takasugi Toshihiko in front of him, his eyes were full of disdain and mockery.

Yes!

In Shiratori Ninzaburo's eyes, someone who uses such means to fight for inheritance is a fool.

The reason is very simple!

In the real struggle for chaebol succession, what is needed most is stability!

Even struggles need to be kept within a certain limit, because if the internal fighting is too fierce, it will cause instability within the conglomerate and also attract the greed of other conglomerates.

This is different from the struggle for the throne in ancient times, which was purely internal and did not require much consideration of external issues.

And what about the struggle for succession among conglomerates?

In addition to considering other heirs, we also have to consider other conglomerates outside the company.

Toshihiko Takasugi? What an idiot!

If you want to fight for the inheritance, that's fine, just fight within the designated small circle. Why resort to assassination?

What family would fight so bloodily over inheritance rights?

Today, it's even more foolish!

In an attempt to clear his name, he went so far as to kill his fiancée.

When poisoning failed, they resorted to murder?

The way you're doing it...

Aside from causing ongoing chaos within the Takasugi family and attracting the greed of other conglomerates, is there any other benefit whatsoever?

Not to mention, you're an adopted son!

Even if you kill all the other heirs, do you think Takasugi Yuuji will let you become the head of the clan?

Think more!

Thinking of this, Shiratori Ninzaburo looked at Takasugi Toshihiko with even more disdain.

Then.

He simply tied the other person to a chair before waking him up by pouring a bucket of cold water over him.

"Where am I?"

"Are you Ninzaburo from the Shiratori family? Why are you tying me up?"

"Let me go!"

"Do you want to go to war with the Takasugi family?"

Takasugi Toshihiko, who had just woken up, was clearly still a little confused about his condition.

And, in response to this.

Shiratori Ninzaburo showed no mercy whatsoever!

He immediately slapped him hard, making him vomit blood, and then spoke coldly with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Takasugi Toshihiko, you listen to me."

"I am no longer the heir to the Shiratori family. My identity is Inspector Shiratori Ninzaburo, Third Division, First Investigative Division, Metropolitan Police Department!"

"You've been arrested for poisoning your fiancée, so now answer my questions honestly."

"Why did you poison Matsumoto Sayuri? Which of the two factions confronting the Metropolitan Police Department outside is under your command?"

"Confess!"

"otherwise……"

Shiratori Ninzaburo didn't finish his sentence, but anyone could easily sense the subtle threat in his words.

Takasugi Toshihiko looked confused!

What the hell?

I admit to poisoning my fiancée!

But among those assassins outside, one group is my subordinate?

Hold the grass!

How come I didn't know?
