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

Lin Mo's lips twitched, and his whole body felt numb!

He watched as a large amount of food was delivered and then vanished in an instant. Even someone as worldly-wise as him was at a loss for words.

Good guy!

Wow, that's amazing!

Matsumoto Kiyonaga is really going all out to break up his daughter and Takasugi Toshihiko!

Trust yourself that much?

Honestly...

Lin Mo really couldn't understand it!

After all, we didn't know each other before. What if I'm a bad person?

Wait, something's not right!

He had come to her door as Ran's friend, but Matsumoto Kiyonaga didn't trust him at all; he trusted his former subordinate, Kogoro Mouri.

If he were truly a bad person, Kogoro Mouri wouldn't have allowed himself to be friends with Ran!

and……

With just one morning, given Matsumoto Kiyonaga's abilities, he should be able to uncover his true identity.

"Lin Mojun, I'm so sorry!"

"I don't know how to describe my dad!"

"In short..."

"I know he wants me to forget about Takasugi Toshihiko as soon as possible, but this attitude is still a bit too rude."

Matsumoto Sayuri apologized repeatedly.

And, in response to this.

What could Lin Mo say?

After only managing a few vague words, he began to have lunch with Sayuri.

I have to say...

Matsumoto Kiyonaga prepared a very lavish feast!

Not only were there meals suitable for patients, but there was also food for me, a normal person. Although I still don't really like Japanese food, I still had lunch with Sayuri before leaving.

Of course.

Before parting ways, the two exchanged phone numbers!

Obviously.

Matsumoto Sayuri may still have feelings for Takasugi Toshihiko, but she has already started trying to get to know other boys.

She needs time right now!

Once she has completely finished laughing at Lin Mo's words today, that will be the day that her relationship with Takasugi Toshihiko is completely over.

after that.

When Lin Mo had nothing to do, he would go to see Matsumoto Sayuri, and the two gradually became friends.

……

Afternoon, Lin Mo's residence.

Lin Mo returned from the hospital with a faint smile on her lips.

but.

His smile quickly faded, after all, his leisure time was over, and it was time to get down to business.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he took out his phone.

"Mission continues: eliminate three within two days. —Amaretto!"

"Received. —Chianti!"

Upon seeing Chianti's reply, Lin Mo immediately edited the message again.

"The investigation into Matsumoto Kiyonaga continues. If no evidence can be found, then give me a forged document, three parts truth and seven parts falsehood; it must be completed within three days. —Amaretto!"

Yes.

Although Lin Mo had a slight desire to pursue Matsumoto Sayuri, the problem was that it was just his personal feeling.

But now, things are different!

This is official business.

He is no longer Lin Mo, but Amaretto of the organization!

Therefore, when it comes to targeting Matsumoto Kiyonaga, Lin Mo will not hold back in the slightest.

"Received. —Bourbon!"

After a quick glance, Lin Mo edited the message again.

"Use your position as a presenter on Nichiuri TV to guide public opinion to focus as much attention as possible on the Takasugi family, ideally creating a debate or even a fight between the two factions on television; you must ignite public opinion within two weeks. —Amaretto!"

"Received. —Kiel!"

At last.

After considering for a long time, Lin Mo made a phone call to Vodka: "Give me a detailed list of all the assets of the Takasugi family as soon as possible, and have Rum prepare for the final harvest."

"The moment the Takasugi family collapsed, I didn't want someone else to steal my meat!"

As for vodka, of course they had no objections.

At last.

Lin Mo picked up his coffee again after hanging up the phone.

Next...

Although the operation to take over the Takasugi family has only just entered its second phase, we must still prepare for the worst!

Because no one knows how long the Takasugi family can hold out, if the Takasugi family has poor resilience and collapses completely all at once, it would be bad if we weren't prepared to harvest them and other conglomerates took over!

……

Time slowly passed.

The situation unfolded exactly as Lin Mo had predicted.

Bourbon's energy has been consumed by his undercover agents within the organization, and recently he has spent the vast majority of his time investigating the six people who initially attended the meeting.

finally.

He kept his eyes on Gil, having been busy keeping an eye on him lately. So after receiving Lin Mo's task, he thought for a moment and then handed it over to Kazami Yuya.

Kazami Yuya looked utterly helpless!

We're all police officers. If this smear campaign and rumors about Matsumoto Kiyonaga get out, it could cause a major upheaval!

But there was nothing we could do!

The task assigned by his superiors couldn't be ignored, so he and his team spent three days researching and finally submitted the fake document just before the deadline.

Upon receiving the message, Lin Mo immediately gave it to Vodka: "Deliver it anonymously to the Public Safety Commission, the National Police Agency, and the Metropolitan Police Department. Make sure to create as much of a stir as possible."

"Okay, Amaretto!" Vodka nodded.

That afternoon.

The entire Metropolitan Police Department was in an uproar!

Even the National Police Agency and the Public Safety Commission called directly to inquire.

At last.

They even issued an ultimatum, demanding that the matter be resolved within half a month, or Matsumoto Kiyonaga's promotion would be frozen, and the National Police Agency would assign personnel to conduct a special investigation.

Minister of Criminal Investigation, office!

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was filled with helplessness.

"Minister, trust me!"

"The allegations against me are completely fabricated; I never did those things."

"A simple investigation will prove my innocence!"

"This is a frame-up against me; someone is deliberately trying to find fault with me!"

And, in response to this.

Odagiri Toshiro lit a cigarette after a long absence. He didn't heed Matsumoto Kiyonaga's explanation; instead, he silently pondered the matter.

After a while.

He gave Matsumoto Kiyonaga a deep look, then said in a very heavy tone, "Something's not right. It doesn't seem like it's targeting you; it seems more like it's targeting me."

"But what's the point?"

"The factions within the Metropolitan Police Department are very stable now, so there's no reason for other factions to target me, right?"

"But, never mind!"

"It's pointless!"

"The most important thing now is to resolve this matter. I will give you a portion of Odagiri's power. For the next period of time, I will put aside all my work and focus on crushing the Takasugi family!"

"Is the Takasugi family innocent or not?"

"We can't worry about that now!"

"What we can do now is to take a two-step approach. I will arrange a working group to investigate your file and hold a press conference as soon as possible to prove that you are absolutely without problems."

"You over there—establish your authority!"

"Since the Takasugi family is the only target we can find right now, let's use them as a warning to others, to let everyone know that Matsumoto Kiyonaga and I, Odagiri Toshiro, are not to be trifled with!"

"If the other party is willing to stop, then let's pretend this never happened."

"Otherwise..."

"Next, we'll focus all our efforts on investigating their identity, and then—let's begin the war!"
