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

Lin Mo looked completely bewildered.

Watching Matsumoto Kiyonaga leave without stopping, he was truly at a loss for words.

Good guy!

In order to sever the ill-fated relationship between his daughter and Takasugi Toshihiko at its root, Matsumoto Kiyonaga is now resorting to any means necessary. He doesn't even care about basic information such as his work and family situation. He simply decides to let go and even allow himself to have contact with your daughter, based on the fact that he is not a member of the Takasugi family.

Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?

Lin Mo silently said something to himself, then turned to look at Matsumoto Sayuri.

I must say, it's quite beautiful!

Of course.

The characters who make an appearance in the original work are generally not ugly.

However, at this moment, Matsumoto Sayuri's pale face was filled with bitterness, and she finally let out a deep sigh.

Obviously.

She knew exactly what her father was thinking; he just wanted to break her up with Junyan.

However, her father's actions made her feel very uncomfortable!

Even if I meet a boy, I don't care about his situation, as long as he's not from the Takasugi family.

She couldn't understand!

Why did my father become like this?

Just as she was feeling depressed and frustrated, Lin Mo offered a simple word of comfort.

"Miss Lily, try to think more positively!"

"There's no need to dwell too much on the past. Your life has just begun, and there's no need to hang yourself on a crooked tree."

"In this world, anyone could potentially harm you, except your father!"

Unfortunately, it's a pity.

Lin Mo's words, if left unsaid, would have been fine, but now, with Lin Mo's encouragement, Matsumoto Sayuri couldn't help but speak up.

after all……

She had kept some things bottled up inside for too long, and now, recovering from a serious illness and with her father's lack of understanding, she just wanted to confide in someone.

therefore.

Even though it was only her first time meeting Lin Mo, she still told him all about her past with Takasugi Toshihiko.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's lips twitched.

He just came over to deliver breakfast!

Besides, we've only just met, is it really appropriate for you to tell me so much?

but.

Looking at Matsumoto Sayuri, whose face was pale and utterly devastated, and thinking that she didn't have anything to do today anyway, she figured she might as well play the role of a counselor for once.

Anyway, beautiful women are quite pleasing to the eye—aren't they?

and so.

After seemingly listening attentively to the story, he immediately shook his head and said something.

"Takasugi Toshihiko..."

"I won't judge the feelings between you and him, as that's too subjective."

"After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder; how you love him is your own business."

"Based on your brief account, I can only sense that your father's intuition was very accurate; this Takasugi Toshihiko's character, temper, and personality are all terrible."

"In short, any normal person would never associate with this kind of person, let alone make friends with them!"

Lin Mo frowned slightly, but still gave his evaluation.

Upon hearing these words, Matsumoto Sayuri froze on the spot.

Obviously.

She never expected to hear such an evaluation from Lin Mo!

If it were her father speaking, Matsumoto Sayuri wouldn't listen, but Lin Mo, an ordinary person, didn't even know Takasugi Toshihiko before, which made her feel a little curious while she was annoyed.

Why?

Why would Lin Mo say that?

Matsumoto Sayuri, lying on the hospital bed, began to hide the bitterness on her face and looked at Lin Mo seriously.

"Mr. Lin Mo, could you please tell me?"

"Alright, let's talk about it then!"

Faced with the curious Matsumoto Sayuri, Lin Mo simply nodded slightly.

Then.

After briefly organizing his thoughts, Lin Mo spoke again: "First of all, Takasugi Toshihiko's mother's death was an accident. Your father simply failed to fulfill his duty to provide assistance, and he was also on his way to apprehend a suspect at the time..."

"Apprehending criminals is our job. If they escape, many more innocent people will be harmed!"

"So, in my opinion, your father's choice wasn't wrong at all."

"What's wrong?"

"Is Takasugi Toshihiko's mother's life precious, but the lives of other people are unimportant?"

"If your father had chosen to save Takasugi Toshihiko's mother back then, leading to the murderer escaping and committing another crime, wouldn't others also hold a grudge against your father?"

"Because you saved Takasugi Toshihiko's mother, the murderer escaped; otherwise, her family wouldn't have died!"

"Logically, it doesn't hold up!"

"Therefore, in my opinion, Takasugi Toshihiko is simply taking his anger out on others!"

"Your own tragedy is indeed pitiful, but that is not a reason for him to take his anger out on others."

"Based on this alone, this person is not to be trusted!"

"second……"

"Leaving aside the question of whether it's right or wrong to take one's anger out on someone else, let's just say that Takasugi Toshihiko is a filial son who wants to drag someone down with him to his mother."

"Understandable, no problem!"

"Everyone thinks differently, so let's not discuss right or wrong for now. Since he believes your father is the murderer, then go and take revenge on him!"

"Miss Sayuri, please be aware!"

"Now, pay attention to the important parts!"

"Takasugi Toshihiko's mother hasn't been dead for a month, or even a year, but for a full twenty years!"

"Twenty years!"

"If Takasugi Toshihiko truly wanted revenge for his mother, wouldn't such a long period of time be enough for him to prepare a revenge plan?"

"Why didn't he avenge his mother all these years?"

"hehe!"

"To put it bluntly, he's probably forgotten about it long ago."

"If he truly loved his mother so deeply, how come he's now an adopted son and one of the heirs of the Takasugi family?"

"Why not take revenge sooner, or later..."

"But after running into you, Miss Matsumoto, Takasugi Toshihiko suddenly remembered that he still had a grudge to settle?"

"It's a pleasure to have met you, Ms. Matsumoto. What if you two had never met in your lives?"

"This grudge? We're not going to take revenge?"

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

"This alone proves that Takasugi Toshihiko is truly a terrible person!"

"And then, the third point!"

"Let's just say that he, Takasugi Toshihiko, has been gritting his teeth and enduring humiliation for twenty years, and finally found an opportunity to take revenge on your father thanks to Ms. Matsumoto."

"Then go!"

"Instead of seeking revenge on his real enemies, he has to target you, the one who loves him the most."

"Are you sick in the head?"

"Normal people have a sense of shame and believe in the principle of 'the wicked should have their culprits,' so judging from Takasugi Toshihiko's choice, he could even brutally murder a woman who loved him to the core..."

"This person is so heartless!"

"The last point, and the most important one."

"The poison he used this time was sodium hydroxide!"

"Unlike cyanide, which is commonly used by murderers, the poison that Toshihiko Takasugi used on you was sodium hydroxide."

"Takasugi Toshihiko went out of his way to obtain this kind of poison; wouldn't he know its toxicity?"

"Why not use sodium hydroxide instead of common cyanide?"

"Any normal person knows that sodium hydroxide can't kill people!"

"Because there is a burning sensation the moment it enters the mouth, unless the victim willingly swallows it, this thing cannot kill anyone."

"Ms. Matsumoto..."

"I think Toshihiko Takasugi studied medicine in college, right?"

"Why don't you think he uses cyanide?"

"Is it because you didn't expect it?"

"This is so hard to guess!"
