Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 180 174. It is much easier to kill your way in than to pass the exam

Would Bourbon lose his composure because he lost Rum's trust? Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Lin Longma didn't believe it.

If he was really so devoted to Rum, would he have given in so easily on Moon Shadow Island before?
If he was really so devoted to Rum, would he be so subtle in his attempts to show his affection to Lin Longma?
If he was really so devoted to Rum, could he still maintain his mystic demeanor all day long and make himself like the second Vermouth?
This is obviously impossible.

So the question is, if Bourbon is not so loyal to Rum, why is he so excited now?

Whether it is negotiation or persuasion, the most important thing is to prescribe the right medicine. Only by finding the crux of Bourbon's problem can Lin Longma successfully persuade Bourbon.

Since Bourbon is not so loyal to rum, there must be other reasons for Bourbon's excitement at this moment.

At this moment, Lin Longma suddenly remembered the strange intelligence channels of Bourbon’s police system.

As for the fact that Bourbon has his own unique channel for obtaining intelligence within the police system, according to Lin Longma's understanding, he is the only one in the entire organization who knows about it.

Moreover, this relationship channel can only be used to obtain some information, and it cannot be used to do what you want.

At least that's what Bourbon showed.

We will not discuss for now the extent of Bourbon's connections in the police system, but the connections themselves are enough to illustrate the point.

Undercover? Spy? Not really, but the selection tendency brought about by this relationship is very interesting.

"All right, Bourbon. What has happened is over, and getting angry won't change anything that has already happened.

If getting angry was useful, I would be furious now and go back in time to when I joined the organization."

With Lin Longma's comfort, Bourbon gradually calmed down. Or rather, for Bourbon, losing control of his emotions was a rare occurrence.

"Now that you've calmed down, let's talk calmly. When you were in the Intelligence Support Department, although you were a key member there, did Rum really trust you enough?

Have you ever seen Rum himself? Do you know what he looks like, his name, where he usually stays?"

"."

"You don't know, so what's the difference between you and me?" Bourbon's silence caused Lin Longma to chuckle:
"During the last tripartite meeting, Rum set up a large screen in the conference room and projected his silhouette onto it.

The only ones present at the meeting were Curacao, the confidant of Gin, Vodka and Rum, and Kaneda and me.

Let me ask you, Bourbon. Who do you think Rum is guarding against?

Bourbon, who has calmed down, realizes that now is not the time to "hold accountable" and Lin Ryoma has forced him to make a choice.

Before this, Bourbon had always hoped that he could pass Rum's "assessment" and enter the real core area of the Intelligence Support Department.

But due to Rum's caution, Bourbon has not made much progress. It seems that after obtaining the code name Bourbon, his development in the organization has entered a bottleneck period.

For a long time, Bourbon was worried about his current situation.

As an undercover agent, Bourbon has no shortage of time, but "wasting time" for a long time will also have an irreversible impact on one's state of mind.

Lin Longma’s “absurd behavior” this time can also be regarded as a way to break the deadlock.

Bourbon's strong psychological quality allowed him to quickly adjust his emotions and begin to think about the gains and losses caused by this accident.

But on the surface, Bourbon still had that unhappy expression: "Even if I can't get anything from Rum, what can I get from you?
Longma, what can you give me? "What can I give you? Let me think about it." Lin Longma was delighted with Bourbon's willingness to communicate further, so he planned to use his ultimate move directly.

"I can give you support, unlimited support, Bourbon." The strange relationship between Bourbon and the police system made Lin Longma realize that Bourbon and the organization might not be on the same page.

As for who Bourbon is on the same side with, it doesn’t matter to Lin Longma at all, as long as he is not on the same side with the organization.

“Whether it’s Kiel or Curacao, one has the support of the Executive Department, and the other has the backing of the Intelligence Support Department.

Unless you run to Rum now, kowtow to him and admit your mistake, and then become his dog.

Otherwise you won’t get Rum’s support.”

“If you don’t want to be a dog for Rum, then Isshinkai will be your perfect partner.

I will offer you the same support that Gin and Rum offer Kiel and Curacao.

When you need people, you can get them; when you need money, you can get money. By then, international intermediary companies will not be polarized, but will be in a three-way competition.

The triangle is the most stable structure, and I believe that with your ability, Bourbon, you will not be easily controlled by those two guys."

"My friend, I think you have experienced how difficult it is to get ahead in the Intelligence Support Department.

Since the original route is blocked, why not try a new route?

Sometimes it’s easier to get in than to pass the exam.”

Lin Longma told Bourbon the story of an unsuccessful draft pick named Huang from the ancient times of Dongda University.

"You think this is a much easier road than mine, Bourbon. I have to cut through mountains and build bridges to cross rivers every step I take.

But you don’t have to be like that. We’re not on the same track. If you want to go, you’ll get there faster than I will—whatever you want to do.”

Bourbon always felt that Lin Longma's words were full of hidden meanings. He was keenly aware that Lin Longma seemed to have noticed something, but unexpectedly chose to turn a blind eye.

"What about you? I can get so many benefits, but what can you get?
what do you want? "

"What do I want? Actually, as long as you accept the support of the Isshin Society, you can get everything you want in the process.

In other words, Bourbon, you want the result, but I want the process. We have no conflict and we don't need conflict.

We are a perfect match, aren't we?"

There is no love or hate without reason in the world. But just as Lin Longma said, he doesn't need to care about what Bourbon's ultimate goal is.

It doesn't matter even if he is an undercover police officer. As long as he frantically fights for power and profit in the international brokerage company with the support of Yi Xin Hui, Yi Xin Hui will use Bourbon's influence to "make trouble" in the international brokerage company.

This will further spread the influence of Isshinkai.

The factions in the Executive Department and the Intelligence Support Department may be clearly defined, but the Yi Xin Society has never been so extreme.

After all, the main sources of Isshinkai's members are still the Executive Department and the Intelligence Support Department. If the three parties are really put together, with subtle influence and perfect integration, it is hard to say how many people will be left in the Executive Department and the Intelligence Support Department.
