Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 38 36. Killing Two Birds with One Fish

"Of course, Kudo Shinichi will find it sooner or later. Since Professor Moritani is so enthusiastic, how can I refuse such a kind-hearted person?
Jintian, you must know that hatred that has time to ferment is always the best fuel."

The information that Kogoro Mori brought to Hayashi Ryoma proved that Kudo Shinichi was not dead, so Hayashi Ryoma had to let Teiji Moriya know that Kudo Shinichi disappeared just because he hid himself.

Although he is hiding, it is not a big deal. We can still find him if we think of a way.

The task of finding people is not within the scope of Isshinkai alone, and Moriya Teiji needs to find a way himself.

The method has been pointed out by Lin Ryoma. You see, that boy did not forget to contact his childhood sweetheart even when hiding. Moriya Teiji can completely start with Mouri Ran.

After all, Moriya Teiji and Kudo Shinichi have a "road-blocking grudge", and without Lin Ryoma's urging, Moriya Teiji would go crazy looking for Kudo Shinichi.

Even though Lin Longma, the president, is well-informed, he rarely sees such rare animals as these wild cattle and horses with full self-drive.

Unfortunately, he can only use such cattle and horses once. Do you know how tempting these wild cattle and horses that provide their own dry or refined food are to a capitalist?
There is no need for Lin Ryoma to worry about Moriya Teiji. He just needs to have someone keep an eye on him and he can get continuous benefits.

Now that the investigation into Kudo Shinichi has made some progress, it's time to give Gin a response.

A little Kudo Shinichi, Lin Ryoma uses him to eat Moriya Teiji and then Gin, isn't that wonderful?
After sending Kaneda back, Lin Ryoma called Gin.

The phone rang three times but Gin didn't answer, so Lin Longma simply hung up. Twenty minutes later, Gin called.

"Gin? I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

When Gin heard Lin Ryoma's joking voice, he realized that there was one good news and one bad news. People who can say this usually mean that both are bad news.

There's just one that's not that bad.

The corners of Gin's eyes twitched unconsciously.

"explain."

"The good news is that I have found some clues about Kudo Shinichi. The bad news is that he is not dead. Gin, you failed."

"I watched him swallow APTX-4869 with my own eyes."

For Gin, APTX-4869 is a better poison than cyanide. Taking this stuff and not dying is no different from someone swallowing a bottle of cyanide in front of you and then jumping around and dancing a yangge.

How is this possible?
“That’s the truth, but Kudo Shinichi must have been scared enough by you, so he’s hiding now.

No one knows where he is hiding.”

"Speaking of which, he is really a lucky guy who managed to escape from your hands.
I said that the new drug that Shirley hadn’t finished developing was unreliable. If any of this stuff survived, it would be troublesome.”

Lin Longma's words were not meant to be sarcastic, but sometimes it is the truth that can be the most hurtful.

Look, Lin Longma heard with his own ears that Gin's breathing on the other side had become heavier.

"Find him out, I want to get rid of this lucky little mouse myself." Gin's sinister voice came from the phone. At this moment, the degree of hatred for Kudo Shinichi in Gin's heart was probably higher than that for Akai Shuichi.

The fact is that both Kudo Shinichi and Akai Shuichi have played a role in Gin's career, but it is obvious that Kudo Shinichi has played a role more than Akai Shuichi.

After all, Shuichi Akai fled Tokyo and the organization like a stray dog.

Kudo Shinichi's "resurrection" is tantamount to firing a powerful weapon at Gin. Facing the nearly rampaging Gin, Hayashi Ryoma did not forget to comfort him even through the phone. After all, Gin is the big money sponsor of the entire organization, and Hayashi Ryoma, as the person in charge of a large base, has a terrifyingly high annual reimbursement amount.

"Don't worry, Gin, I've arranged for someone to investigate. But you also know that if a capable detective really wants to hide, it's not that easy to be found."

Lin Longma laid a foreshadowing in advance. Although he felt that he was getting closer and closer to Kudo Shinichi, it is a compulsory course for every worker to leave room for work.

In Isshinkai, Hayashi Ryoma is the undisputed president, and his word is final. However, in the entire organization, he is still a relatively senior employee who is very capable but not trusted by the management.

In response, Gin just said "hmm" and hung up the phone. He knew that what Lin Ryoma said was true.

To others, the organization is a giant hidden in the shadows, the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark. But to Kudo Shinichi, who was hit by Gin, it is a reversal of the two extremes, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light.

Finding someone is a matter of luck and also a matter of effort. Maybe Lin Ryoma will be able to find Kudo Shinichi in the next second, or maybe Kudo Shinichi is cautious enough to hide for many years.

Lin Longma suddenly thought of something and called Gin again.

"what's up?"

"I suddenly remembered that Kudo Shinichi's parents should live in the United States, right? His parents must know about such a big thing, right?
I suspect that Kudo Shinichi's parents might know where Kudo Shinichi is hiding. Can you ask the people in America to keep an eye on his parents?"

The second time Lin Ryoma called, he did not bring worse news, but instead offered a very constructive suggestion, which made Gin feel a lot more relieved.

It turns out that the organization still lacks people who can get practical work done.

Speaking of the United States, Gin suddenly thought of a person, a member of an organization who was a senior cadre like him.

"I see. I'll make the contact. By the way, I've already reported your matter to the boss, and there should be a response soon."

"Ha, I trust you to do the job." Lin Longma chuckled and hung up Gin's phone.

After putting down the phone, Lin Longma thought about Gin's last reminder. According to Gin's personality, he never liked to talk nonsense on the phone.

Then the last sentence has a very strong hint.

Since Boss received Gin's proposal and did not reject it immediately, it means that he was weighing the pros and cons.

Gin reminded him at this time that he should add fuel to the Boss's fire and increase his own "chips" and "value" at the same time.

"So we still have to do some big things."

Lin Longma suddenly thought of the task that Bourbon had assigned to him. If it was a diplomat, it would be very important.

Thinking of this, Lin Longma picked up the phone and called Jin Tian: "Jin Tian, please summarize the latest information about the diplomat that Bourbon asked us to pay attention to.

By the way, what was the diplomat's name? "

"Isao Tsujimura, son of former university professor and former diplomat Toshimitsu Tsujimura."

"Yes, it's him. It looks like our chance to advance will depend on this guy."
