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

Shiratori Ninzaburo was drenched in cold sweat.

Damn it!

As the heir of the Shiratori family, he had forgotten something so simple, and in the end, he had to rely on Inspector Megure to remind him.

At that moment, he felt extremely fortunate.

I didn't lose out on this deal today. If Inspector Megure hadn't been there, I would have really fallen into a trap.

Yes.

If Inspector Megure hadn't joined the Shiratori family, based on his understanding of Inspector Megure, the latter would never have reminded him today.

When I get home tonight, I must have a good talk with my father and get Inspector Megure promoted as soon as possible.

on the one hand.

If Inspector Megure can be promoted as soon as possible, I can take over the position of head of the third division of the first investigation department, and I can also let Inspector Megure expand his influence in the new department.

More importantly, it's about showcasing the strength of the Shiratori family!

Inspector Megure's words have demonstrated his value, so it's time for the Shiratori family next.

"Inspector Megure, thank you for the reminder."

"Given the situation of Toshihiko Takasugi, and even the Takasugi family, what do you think we should do next?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo's demeanor began to become humble.

He also trusted Inspector Megure's judgment more and more, so he wanted to hear his thoughts on the next steps.

And, in response to this.

Inspector Megure shrugged.

He pulled his hat brim down even lower and began to speak slowly and casually: "You don't need to do anything. Just follow the procedures and obey the orders of your superiors."

"this……"

Shiratori Ninzaburo's mind went completely blank.

but.

Before he could even process what was happening, Inspector Megure continued, "I know Inspector Matsumoto; he'll take action on his own."

"Don't forget the situation Inspector Matsumoto is facing now. He is already the designated head of the First Investigation Division, and he is currently in the most critical stage of the process."

"First, there's an internal investigation into him; second, Toshihiko Takasugi poisoned his daughter; third, a gunfight broke out at the wedding, resulting in bloodshed; and most importantly, this was reported by Nichiri TV!"

"What's this?"

"That's like shitting on Inspector Matsumoto's head!"

"If he doesn't demonstrate his decisiveness, does he deserve to be promoted to superintendent?"

"Even if he manages to rise to the position of head of the First Investigation Division, there will definitely be people spreading rumors behind his back, saying that he's the same First Investigation Division head who was almost killed by Takasugi Toshihiko, and didn't dare utter a single word!"

"Does this reputation sound good?"

"Therefore, right and wrong are not important in this matter!"

"He must demonstrate his strength now, otherwise he will not be able to hold onto his position as inspector general, and he will be criticized for the rest of his life."

"And don't forget!"

"Inspector Matsumoto was promoted by Toshiro Odagiri. If Inspector Matsumoto can't hold onto his position, then it will be a slap in the face for Toshiro Odagiri."

"Therefore, regardless of the truth, the blame for the robbers who showed up today must be pinned on Toshihiko Takasugi. Otherwise, Inspector Matsumoto and Toshiro Odagiri would never have had the chance to use the Takasugi family as a target!"

"If we can't strike at the Takasugi family, we can't establish our authority."

"This is a dead end; no one can untie it."

"So we don't need to do anything from now on. We can just stand by and do some minor support. If necessary, we can let your Shiratori family deliver a fatal blow to the Takasugi family at a crucial moment and take some extra benefits along the way."

hiss!

As Inspector Megure spoke, Shiratori Ninzaburo was taken aback.

Really...

Never underestimate the people of the world!

After hearing these words, Shiratori Ninzaburo finally managed to understand the current situation.

That was dangerous!

No wonder Inspector Matsumoto didn't let me finish. This point was actually not important. On the contrary, if I had really explained it clearly, I might have offended Inspector Matsumoto.

At that moment, he instantly felt that he had learned a lot today!

That evening.

Back home, Shiratori Renzaburo found his father and briefly explained what had happened that day. He also told his mother almost everything about how he had taken in four people and what Inspector Megure had warned him about earlier that day.

At last.

He proposed using the resources of the Shiratori family to help Inspector Megure rise to a higher position.

Shiratori's father pondered for a moment before smiling and saying, "This Inspector Megure is indeed quite good. Although his field of vision is limited and he can't see much, his sense of smell is extremely keen."

"He's a good person, worth nurturing by the Shiratori family!"

"I'll have someone handle this tomorrow. It's relatively simple to promote a police inspector to a superintendent; the process will take about half a month."

"When you go to work tomorrow, remember to inform the other party that during this period, while completing the handover procedures, you should also remember to pay a visit to your superior."

"As for his position, there just happens to be a suitable one."

"Yuta Kuroda, the manager of the Special Cases Investigation Division (SIT), offended someone he shouldn't have a while ago. Several companies are actually vying for this position. Because you are a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, I, your father, have been paying attention to this matter before."

"Perfect..."

"Let's take this inspector's post as a welcoming gift from the Shiratori family!"

Upon hearing his father's words, Shiratori Ninzaburo was instantly stunned.

So fast?

Moreover, the commander of SIT is not a sinecure position.

But it's good!

Unexpectedly, his former superior did not need to go anywhere else and could still stay in the First Investigation Division.

Yes!

The Criminal Investigation Department's (SIT) Special Time Investigation Unit, which also belongs to the First Investigation Division, means that the two of them will remain neighbors.

the next day.

When Shiratori Ninzaburo told Inspector Megure, his former superior, about the good news, Megure Juzo was completely dumbfounded.

Hold the grass!

He knew that the Shiratori family was of a high standard, but wasn't this speed a bit too fast?

Even Inspector Megure couldn't help but sigh this time.

He slacked off in the Metropolitan Police Department his whole life because he knew that once he reached the rank of inspector, it would be very difficult for him to get promoted in his lifetime; at most, he would only get a promotion upon retirement.

But what about now?

I just joined Shiratori's family yesterday, and now I'm being notified to prepare for the handover and go through the procedures?

"I see, I understand."

"From now on, the three systems will be in your hands, Shiratori. Sato, Takagi, and Chiba will all be your good helpers."

"When you encounter a case in the future, remember not to be a hero. Even if you see something, don't say anything. Let the detective handle it as much as possible."

"We need political achievements, and detectives need a reputation."

"Each gets what they need!"

"on the contrary……"

"Even if the case takes any unexpected turns in the future, the detective will be the one to take the blame, and it will have nothing to do with us criminal investigators."

"Shiratori, remember this!"

"You're destined to climb the ladder, and the higher you go, the less about who has the biggest achievements and more about who walks the most steadily and makes the fewest mistakes!"

"So don't try to be a hero, leave everything to the detectives."
