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

Vodka began to think!

After a while.

He gave up thinking!

Too much trouble.

These twists and turns gave him a terrible headache, but he eventually decided not to think about them. Anyway, he just needed to follow Gin, because he firmly believed that Gin would never betray him.

This kind of comfortable life is what he longs for and pursues!

The others...

forget it!

After shaking his head helplessly, Vodka immediately said, "I'll arrange it right away, I guarantee it'll be all taken care of for Amaretto. By tonight at the latest, everyone will be grateful to you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's lips twitched.

Damn it!

What a waste of all that talk!

Rotten wood cannot be carved!

Lin Mo rolled his eyes and ignored Vodka.

Obviously.

At this point, he finally realized that Vodka himself had no desire to "improve"; he only wanted to be Gin's little brother for the rest of his life.

"Okay, it's up to you!"

"Make the arrangements."

"Let's meet at the usual place tonight. It's time to assign the tasks for the second phase."

Lin Mo gave a simple instruction, and Vodka naturally had no objections.

Followed by.

After a brief chat, Vodka got up to say goodbye.

That afternoon...

Within the small circle of members on the periphery of the organization, countless versions of rumors began to circulate, claiming that Amaretto was exceptionally benevolent and that if one did something for Amaretto, he would be willing to take care of one's family even if one died.

have to say.

Lin Mo had to give Vodka a thumbs up for his efficiency!

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

church.

The yard was littered with bullets, blood, and corpses, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and gunpowder. Metropolitan Police Department personnel were collecting the bodies and cleaning up the scene.

Inside the church.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's face was extremely grim. After all, today was his daughter's big day, and he never expected it to end in this way.

simply……

Damn it!

This is practically like pooping on your own head!

Especially when I think of Takasugi Toshihiko's face just now, after he was deduced to be the murderer.

"That's right, it's me!"

"I want revenge, to make you feel the same pain I did!"

"That's right..."

Takasugi Toshihiko's words still lingered in his mind.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga grew angrier the more he thought about it; they were simply not taking him seriously at all!

The Takasugi family...

Do you really think you're invincible, and that I'm just a pushover?

Fortunately, the hospital called to tell him that his daughter was out of danger; otherwise, Matsumoto Kiyonaga would have really rushed into the interrogation room and shot Takasugi Toshihiko dead.

Not long after.

Shiratori Ninzaburo walked in and reported in a very serious tone.

"Inspector Matsumoto, Inspector Megure."

"After the initial interrogation of Toshihiko Takasugi, he admitted to poisoning Sayuri Matsumoto, but denied that he had hired the thugs on the outside."

"As for his reason for poisoning..."

Unfortunately, it's a pity.

Before Shiratori Ninzaburo could finish speaking, Matsumoto Kiyonaga interrupted him directly: "I don't need to know the reason. Just confirm that he poisoned him. Immediately take Takasugi Toshihiko into custody."

"Next..."

"You are responsible for investigating Section 1, Division 3, and gathering evidence in preparation for prosecution!"

"As for Sayuri..."

"Right now, as a father, I have a lot of things to take care of, and I don't have time to take care of him for the time being."

"gross profit……"

"I'll need your help again next time. I hope you can ask your daughter, Miss Xiaolan, to take care of my daughter."

"Thank you for your help!"

After saying that.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed 90 degrees to Mouri Kogoro.

Yes!

Kogoro Mouri wasn't a member of the Metropolitan Police Department; he was attending the wedding as a friend, so he couldn't force anyone to do it. This time, he was asking for help from others...

Kogoro Mouri's face showed a hint of emotion.

After taking a deep breath, he immediately said in a serious tone, "Inspector Matsumoto, don't worry, I will take good care of Sayuri!"

nonsense!

They've already gone this far, and in such a humble manner, how could Kogoro Mouri possibly refuse?

"Thank you very much!" Matsumoto Kiyonaga said again.

Then.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at Inspector Megure: "Megure, get to work!"

"Understood, Inspector Matsumoto." Inspector Megure nodded.

Followed by.

Inspector Megure led his team away. Shiratori Ninzaburo wanted to say something, but Inspector Megure pulled him away.

In the courtyard.

The investigators from the Third Division sprang into action, and Shiratori Renzaburo asked in confusion, "Inspector Megure, why are you pulling me? I..."

"Are you trying to say that those gunmen have nothing to do with Toshihiko Takasugi?"

Inspector Megure immediately retorted.

Shiratori Ninzaburo looked utterly astonished: "Inspector Megure, you know about this?"

"Even without interrogation, I can tell." Inspector Megure said calmly, then explained in a low voice, "Takasugi Toshihiko is clearly a spoiled child; his eyes are filled with innocent stupidity."

"I've been in the Investigation Division for so long, so my reasoning skills might be my weakness, but I have a good eye for people."

"If you can't even see that, do you really think I've been doing all this for nothing all these years?"

"Alright, let's go."

"The rest will be explained later!"

talking.

He got into the passenger seat of Shiratori Ninzaburo's car, while Shiratori Ninzaburo looked completely bewildered and confused.

but……

He ultimately chose to believe Inspector Megure and started driving with a sense of misunderstanding.

On the way.

Perhaps sensing Shiratori Ninzaburo's confusion, Inspector Megure began to slowly explain.

"First, let's state our position!"

"Regardless of the reasons for this, I chose your Shiratori family, so I would never harm you."

"Now that we're discussing this matter, Toshihiko Takasugi is innocent."

"and then?"

"This matter has become too complicated to be viewed as a simple case. It now involves complex factional struggles, and we have been dragged into it."

"One thing you have to admit is that by using methods against Toshihiko Takasugi, you have actually offended the Takasugi family."

"But Inspector Matsumoto is on our side in this regard!"

"Inspector Matsumoto is also hostile to the Takasugi family, and behind Inspector Matsumoto stands Criminal Investigation Department Chief Toshiro Odagiri."

"Are you going to deal with the Takasugi family alone, or are you going to involve Inspector Matsumoto and his backer, Odagiri?"

"Does it matter that the hotshot isn't one of Takasugi Toshihiko's people?"

"Anyway, he poisoned Matsumoto Sayuri, that alone is enough!"

"More importantly..."

"It's not that you don't want to give a full report, it's that Inspector Matsumoto doesn't want to hear it!"

"Therefore, no matter how things develop, you won't be blamed!"

"And one last point, which is also the most important one."

"Something very wrong is going on with the Takasugi family!"

"Today's case is not isolated; don't forget that two heirs of the Takasugi family died before..."

"Although I don't have any evidence right now, I have a feeling that this matter is not simple and may not be just a simple internal strife within the Takasugi family."

"Perhaps there are other people pulling the strings behind this."

"Therefore, let's wait and see!"

"Don't cause trouble for the Shiratori family. At least until the case is clear, let others take the blame."

"So don't be foolish and rush ahead, or you'll only cause trouble for the Shiratori family!"
