Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 30 28. Transaction
Lin Longma helps with the investigation? That would be great!

This is the truest portrayal of Vodka's inner thoughts, because investigation is something that the Intelligence Support Department is naturally good at.

What's more, Lin Longma and other members of the "Issinkai" are the best among them.

The so-called Isshin-kai is a general term used by members of the organization to refer to members of Lin Longma's faction, because Lin Longma's company is called "Isshin Consulting and Investigation Co., Ltd."

The "一心" in the phrase means "one heart and one body". Privately, most members prefer to call the members of the Lin Longma faction "一心会".

If Hayashi Ryoma could help, I believe it wouldn't take long to determine whether Kudo Shinichi is dead or not.

If there was no gin, Vodka would have agreed on the spot, but unfortunately gin is not vodka after all.

Gin and Hayashi Ryoma are old acquaintances, and they have a very deep understanding of each other.

To Gin, Hayashi Ryoma is a very calm and intelligent person. Calmness means that Hayashi Ryoma will not do anything impulsive, and intelligence naturally means that he knows how to judge the situation.

So in Gin's opinion, although Hayashi Ryoma's heart is not with the organization, he will not easily betray the organization.

Because Lin Longma knew very well what the price of betraying the organization was.

A smart person like Lin Longma would never betray the organization when the organization is strong.

It sounds a bit like a famous minister in prosperous times and a treacherous hero in troubled times.

It is precisely because Gin understands Hayashi Ryoma that he knows how difficult it is to get Hayashi Ryoma to do some extra work.

He would definitely complete the tasks assigned to him by the organization perfectly without compromise. But if it was something beyond the mission, he would not do it even if it was convenient.

Lin Longma truly implemented the principle of doing as much as he was paid to the best of his ability.

Now Lin Longma actually said he would help him? Gin always felt that this was a weasel paying a New Year's greeting to a chicken - he had no good intentions?

After all, Hayashi Ryoma is not a weasel, and Gin is not a chicken. So Gin asked Hayashi Ryoma:
"what do you want?"

"You're so insightful. I just like your insight." Lin Longma nodded repeatedly. How could there be a pie falling from the sky in the organization?

If a pie really falls from the sky, the first thing the person who gets hit should think about is how much poison is hidden in the pie. Or is it that the pie has no filling at all, and is filled with poison.

"Let's not talk about what I want for now, let's talk about other things first." Lin Longma didn't rush to answer but chatted with Gin:
"I had someone deal with your subordinate. He died in the department store before the police arrived.

It seems a little strange recently. I know of three incidents that have exposed organizational risks.

Tequila, your subordinate, and Kudo Shinichi Gin, who might not be dead, don't you feel that the risk of the organization being exposed is increasing?"

"So what? If there are traitors, just kill them. If there are rats, just kill them. As long as you kill enough, others will naturally become afraid."

Gin said this nonchalantly. To him, there was no trouble that could not be solved by killing someone.

If so, it means he hasn't killed enough.

"You can't kill all the people." Lin Longma did not agree with Gin's point of view. Although he did not mind killing people, it was really unnecessary to kill to the point where everyone was in danger.

“Even if you can kill as many people as you want, can you kill everyone else in the organization?
What's more, what's the target? What's the target? You can't just kill people by picking one out of every two, right? " "What does this have to do with your deal?"

"Of course it is related. Listen carefully Gin, the content of my deal is that I want you to advise the boss to set up a risk investigation team in the organization to investigate the risks of organizational exposure.

The investigation team must be composed of me as the core, and as for authority, I can accept level one or level two authority."

Organizational authority is divided into four levels, taking the risk investigation team that Lin Longma wants to set up as an example.

Level 1 authority: Can only investigate peripheral members of all departments except the Research Department.

Second level authority: Can investigate junior researchers in the scientific research department and official members of other departments (such as members working inside the base and direct subordinates of senior cadres).

Level 3 authority: can investigate mid-level researchers in the scientific research department and middle-level management in other departments (persons in charge of small bases and cadres in medium-sized bases).

Level 4 authority: can investigate senior researchers in the scientific research department and senior managers in other departments (persons in charge of medium-sized bases and cadres in large bases)

In addition to the fourth level of authority, there are also special temporary authorities, such as Bourbon, Gin, Vermouth and other senior cadres with code names; and the person in charge of a large base such as Lin Longma.
If you want to investigate these people, you need temporary permission from the boss. In other words, except for Gin and Rum, who can investigate anyone they want, no one else in the organization can investigate the person in charge of a large base or a senior cadre with a code name.

In general, the heads of large bases have code names, such as Pisco who is in charge of the car company. On the contrary, Lin Longma, the head of a large base without a code name, is rare.

Lin Longma's request was simple. To put it bluntly, he wanted to take this opportunity to break away from the barriers of the base and have his own say in the organization's headquarters.

From being a local lord in a branch company (stronghold) to having a certain say in the head office (organizational headquarters), what is the most important thing?
You have to enter the head office first.

Rum is holding Lin Longma in his base, but it doesn't matter. Rum is not the only one in the organization who can talk to the boss.

The fact that Lin Longma's "Issinkai" could develop to this point is definitely related to the boss's tacit approval.

After Lin Longma learned a little about the truth about the organization, he began to seek "progress" eagerly.

When the nest is overturned, no egg is left unbroken. Now Lin Longma's status is almost equivalent to the largest egg in the nest. If he wants to protect himself and even the old brothers in Yixinhui when the nest is overturned, he must first transform himself from an egg into a nest.

Lin Longma doesn't care about the authority of the risk investigation team. He knows that as long as he can set foot in the headquarters, his authority can be increased little by little.

Since the organization does not allow the emergence of a third giant in the scientific research department, why not find another way out?
Wouldn't it be nice to have the Executive Department, Intelligence Support Department, and a Security Planning Department to form the Big Three?

The Security Planning Department naturally starts with the Risk Investigation Team.

"As a token of my sincerity, regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, I will help you investigate whether Kudo Shinichi is alive or dead.

How's it going, Gin?"

"Deal." Gin didn't even hesitate and agreed to the deal with Hayashi Ryoma very straightforwardly.

"That's settled then. I'll go back and prepare for the investigation." After getting Gin's reply, Lin Ryoma stood up easily.

After Lin Longma walked away, Vodka hesitated and asked Gin, "Brother, do you really want to let Lin Longma enter the headquarters?"
