Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 148 142. It’s decided to be you, White Bird!
Located in a remote and isolated area, most people on the island make a living by fishing, which means they lack channels to communicate with the outside world.

There was a pianist on the island who died twelve years ago. Just based on these factors, both Hayashi Ryoma and Akita felt that there was something seriously wrong with this place.

There are quite a few small islands like Tsukikage Island near Tokyo, but it is rare to see someone giving two or three million dollars every year to the second-in-command of a criminal group.

Isn't this obviously a louse on a monk's head - it's obvious at a glance.

"Wait a moment, how did the pianist on Yueying Island die?" Lin Longma stopped Akita's men from reporting and asked.

Akita's men immediately searched through the documents in front of them, and then took out a copy: "Pianist Keiji Aso killed his wife and daughter on a full moon night twelve years ago.

Then he set his house on fire, and in the flames he played "Moonlight" over and over again until he died.

[The whole family was wiped out? Who did this? Why is it so rough? ]

This was Hayashi Ryoma's first reaction when he heard what happened to pianist Keiji Aso twelve years ago.

This is the case with many things. Outsiders may not understand what they are doing, but insiders can see the trick at a glance.

Even if a pianist is crazy, he won't be like this. Moreover, people from a small place finally succeeded in life, and they should make good use of their good time and good years to work hard.

He just stayed on this small island. Either he really didn't care about fame or fortune, but that was impossible.

If Keiji Aso hadn't been interested in fame and fortune, he would never have become famous in the first place.

Either this person just can't leave the island.

But no matter how you look at it, there must be something going on on this island.

"Brother, do you want to check out this Moon Shadow Island?" Akita asked Lin Longma. Most members of the Isshin Society never get tired of causing trouble for Rum.

"No, our people cannot be used in this investigation." Lin Longma was quite tempted, but after thinking for a moment, he rejected Akita's proposal.

"I got the information from Gin. The people hiding in this place are actually Rum's men."

Perhaps Rum didn't pay much attention to the people on Moonshadow Island, otherwise Gin wouldn't have known them so thoroughly.

If they cared a little more, they wouldn't have spent so much money just to get three guns and two boxes of bullets from him.

Even though Rum didn't care about it, the people of Moon Shadow Island still paid Rum two to three million dollars in tribute every year.

Who wouldn't be happy if they could get so much money for free without doing anything?
If Rum knew that it was Lin Longma who cut off this source of income, the two of them would probably really fight each other openly.

Although Lin Longma and Rum had already torn their faces apart and exposed their conflicts, Lin Longma didn't want to see bloodshed so soon.

There would be no benefit in fighting with Rum at this moment, and it would only hurt his own guys.

As for Rum, he probably thought the same thing. If he really went to war with Isshinkai, he might not lose at this moment, but the loss would definitely be huge.

When that time really comes, Rum will not be able to suppress Gin, and will be defeated by Gin instead.

The operating logic of the organization is ultimately the law of the jungle, so after Lin Longma has a small victory over Rum, he will get his own "reward" from the boss.

If Rum could understand this, couldn't the boss understand it? If he didn't understand, he wouldn't have allowed Vermouth to return to Tokyo to become Hayashi Ryoma's partner. But the logic of the jungle is the most fundamental logic of the organization, and even the boss himself cannot destroy or violate it.

Otherwise, the organization that is barely maintained will soon be on the verge of collapse.

This is probably why Gin was so kind to give Lin Ryoma some "confidential information" about rum.

Maybe this guy is just waiting for Lin Longma and Rum to start a war so that he can reap the benefits.

"You don't need to worry about Tsukikage Island anymore, Akita." Lin Ryoma took Aso Keiji's information and put it on the table:
“Although we cannot investigate Tsukikage Island, you must investigate this Aso Keiji for me.

Especially his interpersonal relationships during his lifetime, don’t miss any details.”

"Okay, big brother. Leave Aso Keiji to me." Akita nodded without asking any more questions.

As the successor of Lin Longma, he only needs to do his job well. As a senior member of the Isshin Society, if he still reaches out too far when he is in a high position,
Even if he really didn't have any ideas, it was inevitable that people would misunderstand him, especially Lin Longma.

"You want to do everything and control everything. How dissatisfied are you with me as the guild leader?"

After the meeting, Lin Ryoma brought Jintian to the parking lot. Shiraishi had already driven out and was waiting for Lin Ryoma.

"Brother, where are we going?"

"Go to the Metropolitan Police Department. I want to meet my new friend."
-
"I haven't seen Officer Shiratori for a while. Has your work been going well recently?" Hayashi Ryoma and Shiratori made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop near the Metropolitan Police Department building.

What Lin Longma said was actually nonsense, because when they first met, Lin Longma found that Bai Niao's face was full of smugness.

This shows that the recent investigation went very smoothly. But some nonsense should be asked, otherwise how can this topic be opened?
Just as Lin Longma guessed, Shiratori has been doing well recently. This is mainly because after Lin Longma's guidance and persuasion, Shiratori changed the direction of his investigation.

Starting with those arrested members of the executive department, Shiratori actually managed to capture quite a few "minions" one after another.

As these peripheral members of the executive department were arrested and subjected to high-intensity surprise interrogations, Shiratori found clues to some "backlog cases" and "unsolved cases."

We also successfully solved some old cases.

However, as the interrogation progressed and the investigation progressed, Shiratori felt more and more that the criminal intermediary company he had imagined might actually exist!
Although this group of "minions" are just low-level personnel, they are very clear that they seem to be part of a very large criminal organization.

Sometimes, they would be led by the top leaders of criminal organizations to carry out certain tasks, but more often, they would be required to cooperate with certain people to complete certain criminal acts.

The division of labor in this criminal organization is very clear. None of those captured by Shiratori are the masterminds. They are basically accomplices who know nothing.

But just this alone has made Shiratori famous in the Criminal Division recently. Even Officer Sato, whom he has always loved, occasionally smiles at him with appreciation.

But now Shiratori doesn’t care about the original goddess at all.

Power is the best aphrodisiac for men, and Shiratori is now on the right path to gaining power.

"It's been going pretty smoothly lately, thanks to your guidance, President Lin."
