Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 292 286. Tacit Understanding and Continuation
"This is a nice place." Lin Longma looked around. There were not many tourists around. Under the scorching sun, the shade of the trees above made the entire park even more quiet.

If Vermouth chooses a closed place, Hayashi Ryoma will ask Shiraishi and Kaneda to check whether there are any eavesdropping devices in the room first.

Not only to guard against Vermouth, but also to guard against others.

Ever since Hayashi Ryoma discovered that the gadget on Conan's glasses could be used for eavesdropping, he has been very careful about such things.

"Of course it's good. I picked it specially." Vermouth waited until Lin Ryoma finished looking around before speaking.

She knew Lin Longma's intention, and she had no intention of using such tricks as eavesdropping today.

At this point in the situation, a wiretapped recording cannot be used as a bargaining chip in Vermouth's hands.

On the contrary, this thing was more like the fuse that irritated Lin Longma. Vermouth could still clearly distinguish between the important and the unimportant. As a mental worker in the organization, she would never do such an unwise thing.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about, Chris?" Lin Longma didn't call her Vermouth, but called her Chris.

Vermouth is her official code name in the organization. Calling her by this code name at a time like this inevitably gives off a sense of official distance.

Lin Ryoma can see from Conan that although Vermouth is the woman rumored to be the boss's "favored" one, she may not necessarily be in the same mind with the organization.

Or be completely devoted to the boss like Gin.

Lin Ryoma doesn’t care whether he is in the same mind as the organization or not, as long as Vermouth doesn’t get in his way.

It's true, ever since Vermouth became Hayashi Ryoma's partner, she has really not caused any trouble to Hayashi Ryoma.

Lin Longma may not be able to find a second partner with such a low presence in the entire organization.

Lin Ryoma could actually guess what Vermouth wanted to talk to him about, and it was nothing more than Conan.

To be honest, whether it is Conan or Kudo Shinichi, Hayashi Ryoma really doesn't want to care.

In itself, it is a pipe dream for Conan to expect to investigate the organization on his own.

Not to mention how many years the organization has been developing in Tokyo, even if there is such personal heroism, Conan alone cannot find out the whole story.

The most he could find out what Gin and Vodka looked like, and knew that they were high-level members of the organization.

But so what?

Shuichi Akai didn't know that Gin was a high-ranking member of the organization? The police undercover didn't know what Gin looked like?

They all know all this, but isn't Gin still just as active?
If you want to investigate the organization thoroughly, you must investigate the organization inside and out - it is useless to just destroy the obvious executive department.

Even if they catch and shoot Gin, as long as the organization's resources are still there, there is still vodka if there is no Gin, and there is still Binga if there is no vodka.

The organization is never short of newcomers who want to get promoted. Even if the Intelligence Support Department suffers heavy losses, the organization still has bases like the Isshin Society that apparently have legitimate business.

Even if Conan were exhausted to death, he still wouldn't be able to figure out the organization. This is not something that one or two people can handle.

Conan will never be able to figure out the organization in his lifetime anyway, and he doesn't have any clues about the organization at all.

Lin Longma is very willing to help others.

But the prerequisite is that Vermouth herself has to say it.

As the saying goes, it is not a good deal to chase after someone. Let alone Vermouth, even if Lin Longma heard that other senior members of the organization were planning to show their kindness to him, he would have to think carefully.

Is this person trying to harm me?
This is definitely the first reaction of all members of the organization - Lin Longma is the only one in the organization who is willing to help others. Even for Lin Longma, he would only lend a hand according to the situation if someone came to him first.

This is true even for the kind-hearted Linkaka, not to mention the suspicious-by-natured Vermouth who works in intelligence.

"What do you think about the mission of tracking down Kudo Shinichi?" Vermouth, who had returned to the island country for some time, could naturally sense that Lin Ryoma was not very serious about the mission of tracking down Kudo Shinichi.

Not only was he not paying attention, but to Vermouth, Lin Ryoma's performance even seemed to him to be calm and composed, as if he had everything under control.

Being able to develop the Isshinkai to its current size, to the point where it is almost becoming a serious threat to Rum, Vermouth knows that Lin Ryoma is definitely not a brainless and reckless man.

On the contrary, everything she saw after returning to China proved that Lin Longma was definitely a very sinister LYB.

Would such a person fail to see Conan's weirdness? Would he fail to understand Conan's true identity?

Now we have to add one more thing. Given the relationship between Lin Longma and Shirley, how could he not know the true efficacy of drug A?

I'm afraid that Lin Ryoma has already known Conan's identity, but I don't know why he has been pretending not to know.

He even gave Conan a cover (the diplomat incident).

Judging from Lin Longma's current performance, they cannot be called enemies yet. Vermouth does not need to take extreme measures to deal with Lin Longma.

Lin Longma is different from her who works alone. He has a member of the Yi Xin Society following him.

As for the internal forces that Rum is wary of, who knows what will happen when Yi Xin is truly mobilized.

Even Vermouth didn't know how many secret members of the Isshin-kai were hidden in the organization besides the high-ranking members of the Isshin-kai in the open.

If it is not necessary, she would go crazy and fight with Lin Longma.

But the current situation is a little different. Lin Longma and Vermouth reached a silent understanding before today.

Vermouth was not sure what Lin Ryoma's attitude towards Conan was after he heard the task issued by the boss.

What if Hayashi Ryoma intends to use Conan as a stepping stone to advance his position in the organization?

You have to know that although Lin Longma is also among the ranks of senior cadres, that is due to his status as the head of a large base. Up to now, Lin Longma has not yet had an official wine name code.

If Hayashi Ryoma successfully "offers" Kudo Shinichi, the boss will definitely not be stingy in rewarding Hayashi Ryoma.

Even considering how much the boss values Kudo Shinichi, the entire Isshinkai might benefit from it.
She needed to test Lin Longma.

"How can I watch it? I can watch it standing or sitting, but I just want to watch it."

You can look at it any way you want, but you absolutely cannot do the mission. Lin Ryoma almost bluntly expressed his views on the mission "Find Kudo Shinichi".

The Isshin Society has grown to its current size, and with the connections that Lin Ryoma has established with the Suzuki Group and the Shiratori Group, a position within the organization is no longer his most pressing need.

Now Lin Longma is in a situation where if the organization gives him a higher status and greater power, it would be fine, as there would be many benefits.

If he doesn't give it, the current size of Yi Xin Hui is sufficient and will not hinder Lin Longma's subsequent plans.

But there is only one thing, that is, before Lin Longma completes his plan to turn from secret to open, the organization cannot be disrupted by external enemies.

It doesn't matter whether rum beats gin or gin beats rum, but the FBI can't do it, the CIA can't do it, and the island country's public security is even more unacceptable.
