Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 133 127. The Worried "Old Mother"

A Saint Seiya will not be defeated by the same move twice, but unfortunately Conan is not a Saint Seiya.

Faced with this impact which is almost the same as the Moritani Teiji incident, Conan, who was bedridden last time, suddenly realized how he is different now than before.

Last time, Conan didn't expect that Moriya Teiji could ruin his reputation just by "speaking". This time, Conan realized it, but he couldn't do anything to change it.

Because he is Edogawa Conan, not Kudo Shinichi. He even personally identified the identity of that damn "Kudo Shinichi".

There was a flash of confusion in Conan's eyes. If the police really judged the attack on Manager Chaki in this way, how terrible would his reputation be?
Is it really necessary for me to change back then?

Would I have to pursue Xiaolan despite all the insults after I turn back into a human being, and then let Xiaolan be insulted along with me?

Conan, who has always been full of confidence, finally fell into endless confusion this time.

A more specific manifestation is that Conan, who has always been active at the scene, this time really became silent as Vermouth expected.

[Vermouth, Vermouth, you really put a lot of effort into this little brat Conan! ]

As Da Shang Zhu Shan's reasoning progressed, Lin Longma went from simply watching the fun and having fun in the beginning to gradually developing a vague understanding, and finally having a sudden enlightenment.

From a normal person's perspective, Vermouth's actions definitely screwed Kudo Shinichi over, making his already bad reputation even worse.

But this is the perspective of a normal person.

In the organization, normal people are a rare species. Even Lin Longma doesn't dare to say that he is a normal person.

Do you dare to say that a person who can thrive and rise step by step in a transnational criminal group is a normal person?
Let's take the most common murder case in Beika Town as an example. Normal girls would scream when witnessing a murder scene, and men would shout when seeing the scene.

But if it was Lin Longma who saw the murder scene, he would only have one feeling in his heart - is that it?
The same goes for those "brothers" in Lin Longma Isshin Society.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these people are closely united around Lin Longma for the sake of their families and relatives. If you ask these “good husbands” and “good fathers” to kill someone, they won’t even hesitate.

Everyone climbed up from the front line of the organization, and their hands are all dirty. They gathered together just to hope that they would not be completely "blackened", not to avoid getting their hands blackened.

Members who are as fair as a blank sheet of paper are not allowed to join the Yi Xin Society.

Therefore, we cannot treat Vermouth with common sense either.

If we look at her behavior from Vermouth's perspective, not only is she not trying to trick Conan, but she is actually saving him in a big way.

Anyway, after what happened to Teiji Moriya, Kudo Shinichi's reputation has become a mess. Would anyone still bother to distinguish which of the two piles of shit is stinkier?

Kudo Shinichi's reputation is like Conan's moral integrity. There is no way for him to rise higher, but we can still look forward to a sharp fall.

So in Vermouth's opinion, it doesn't matter even if Kudo Shinichi's reputation becomes worse.

Anyway, it's not Edogawa Conan who will suffer the loss if Kudo Shinichi becomes discredited, and doing so will have another benefit for Conan.

Kudo Shinichi is currently the organization's key arrest target. Didn't you see that when Gin heard that Kudo Shinichi was in Haido City Hotel, he immediately put down his task and ran over to arrest him? Although Hayashi Ryoma didn't understand why arresting people turned into killing people, Gin's attitude was there.

Over the years, is there anyone other than the boss who can make Gin put down the task at hand?
Hey, Kudo Shinichi did it today.

Vermouth knew that Kudo Shinichi was determined to change back to youth. If an old man suddenly got the gift of rejuvenation at the end of his life, he might be ecstatic.

But Conan was less than eighteen years old when he became a child. It can be said that the most exciting part of his life has not yet begun.

After growing up with great difficulty and about to become an adult, you suddenly become a child again. Who can bear this?

Isn’t this equivalent to a senior high school student who is about to take the college entrance examination, and has very good grades?

Just one month before the college entrance examination, he suddenly returned to elementary school - he had to start all over again.

Three years of junior high school, the junior high school entrance examination, three years of senior high school, and the college entrance examination. It seems like an endless cycle with no escape possible.

Vermouth can guarantee that if there is a chance for Conan to freely control his growth or shrinkage, he will definitely choose to keep growing bigger and will not shrink even for a second.

If Kudo Shinichi really changes back, wouldn't that be equivalent to using his ultimate skill right up against Gin and then provoking him like crazy?
Vermouth doesn't think that Conan can do anything to the organization alone. Not to mention the organization, even Hayashi Ryoma's Isshinkai can make Conan go around in circles.

The benefits of doing this today are obvious. Kudo Shinichi's reputation is already like this. Even if Conan has the opportunity to change back, he has to think carefully.

This big trumpet is probably useless. Should I take this opportunity to practice a small trumpet?
In addition, since Kudo Shinichi and Conan appear in the same frame this time, the organization will not doubt Conan's identity.

If Conan can maintain his current identity and not cause any trouble, it would be like killing two birds with one stone for Vermouth!
Otherwise, why would Lin Ryoma say that Vermouth took great pains to plan such a unique plan in such a short time and implement it perfectly?

Of course, this is due to the cooperation of Hayashi Ryoma, but Gin will not actively cooperate with Vermouth.

Just now, Vermouth was really under the muzzle of Gin's gun throughout the whole process. Although no one knows why he hit Chaki, it is possible that Vermouth will be sent to the hospital tonight.

From this night's actions, Lin Ryoma could see that Vermouth valued or cared for Conan.

This is a very important piece of information for Lin Longma.

Kogoro Mori and Shuzen Ōkami discussed for a while and found that they could not think of any other possibilities. Then, with the approval of Ryoma Hayashi, the police officer relayed Shuzen Ōkami's guess to Ginzo Nakamori.

Nakamori Ginzo's expression was not very good after hearing this: "So this is a completely unprovoked disaster for Manager Chamu?"

Lin Longma signaled Nakamori Ginzo to be patient: "These are just Mr. Okami and Mr. Mori's speculations.

There is no evidence to support this speculation, however.”

After saying this, Lin Longma looked at Mao Lilan and finally said, "But we can verify Mr. Okami's guess from the side."

　Thanks to boss Zhou Huan and Zuimeng Wuxiao for the reward
　　I'm not in good condition today, so I'll stop here and continue tomorrow
