Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 52 49. The Leaker - Conan
Good, good, good, good. Lin Longma thought he underestimated Kudo Shinichi, but unexpectedly he overestimated him.

No, buddy. How dare you come out to hang out in your current situation? Do you really think the organization is just for show?

Also, when Lin Longma and Shirley were on the mission, I didn't hear Shirley say that people who took the new medicine would suffer from kidney deficiency. What the hell is wrong with you looking like you have kidney deficiency?

The appearance of Kudo Shinichi surprised everyone - Inspector Megure probably didn't expect to meet his long-lost brother Kudo here.

Mao Lilan didn't expect that her childhood sweetheart, who had been missing all the time and only called her occasionally, would suddenly appear.

As for Hattori Heiji, he was not surprised, because according to his reasoning, Kudo Shinichi would have to show up this time. It was a lucky coincidence.

Among them, Mao Lilan was the most anxious. As soon as she saw Kudo Shinichi show up, she ran to his side and said, "Shinichi, why are you here? Why are you sweating so much?!"

It was not until she walked up to Kudo Shinichi that Mao Lilan realized how weak Kudo Shinichi was at the moment, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept oozing out. A normal person would be lucky not to be sent to the hospital, let alone solve the case.

Seeing Mouri Ran coming to him, Kudo Shinichi instinctively wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he just coughed a series of times.

"Cough cough, cough cough cough cough"

Lin Longma has been paying attention to Kudo Shinichi, but his behavior is not abrupt, because everyone in the study is focusing on Kudo Shinichi.

"Jintian." Lin Longma turned his head towards Jintian beside him, and said in a barely audible voice:

"Go to Takayoshi Tsujimura's room and see if Conan is still in the room."

Kaneda nodded slightly, then quietly slipped out of the study while everyone's attention was on Kudo Shinichi.

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi had already walked into the study and began to refute Hattori Heiji's reasoning.

The old man Toshimitsu Tsujimura was apparently pushed out by Kimie Tsujimura to take the blame, and the "fishing line" that proved that Toshimitsu Tsujimura was the murderer was placed in several places.

After the clumsy frame-up was exposed, Kudo Shinichi began to talk about his own reasoning.

Before Kaneda came back, Hayashi Ryoma listened to the lofty words of this "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era". But the more he listened, the more speechless he felt.

After all, this is the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, so there must be no problem with his reasoning. The problem is that Kudo Shinichi knows too many details.

The details of how Kimie Tsujimura opened the door, led the way, and entered the study. These details are rarely noticed by others unless you are there in person.

But our police savior had no hesitation at all and stated his reasoning so openly that it sounded as if he was at the scene when the crime happened.

Man, you really can't even act?
"The murderer is you, Mrs. Tsujimura!" Kudo Shinichi pointed his index finger at Tsujimura Kimie, indicating that she was the real murderer.

Jintian also returned quietly, looking at Lin Longma with a bit of confusion and a hint of fear that could not be hidden.

"How about it?"

"Not in the room. No one was in the room when I went there. The bed was a mess but the marks didn't look like those made by an elementary school student.

The wardrobe in the room had been moved, and it looked like a suit and shirt were missing, and...
I found used children's clothes hidden in the corner of my closet!"

As Lin Longma's most trusted secretary and his right-hand man, Jin Tian knew what the successful case of rejuvenation represented in the organization. If this matter were to be spread, no one in the entire organization would be happy. Perhaps the people in the research department would receive some preferential treatment, but those outside the core would definitely be liquidated immediately.

The value of the Yi Xin Society lies in intelligence and the network of relationships among its members. This stuff is only useful to the organization. Which of the five great good men on the Blue Planet can use them?
Wouldn't it be great to have core resources firmly in his own hands?

"Brother." Jin Tian hesitated for a long time and finally decided to remind his elder brother, although Lin Longma might not have thought of this.
This is a serious matter and we must be on guard.

"I understand, Kaneda." Lin Ryoma nodded slightly. The fact that Edogawa Conan is Kudo Shinichi needs to be kept to themselves for the time being. There is no benefit in telling it to others.

Hayashi Ryoma's gaze fell on Kudo Shinichi again, and then he remembered what he and Shirley discovered when they were on a search mission at Kudo's house.

Wow. It turns out that you really bought Kudo Shinichi's clothes when he was a child? After all, he is a rich second-generation, is it necessary to be so frugal?
Although Lin Longma has no intention of revealing Conan's identity, he doesn't think Conan can keep it a secret for long. You can say he is careless or not cautious enough. But with Conan's unscrupulous personality, it is only a matter of time before he is discovered by other members of the organization.

"President Lin!" Just when Lin Longma's mind was full of thoughts, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

He looked up and found that it was Kudo Shinichi who was talking to him.

"Kudou-san?"

"Could you please tell me about the report on Ms. Katsuragi Sachiko that Mr. Tsujimura asked you to investigate?" Kudo Shinichi asked confidently.

"Sorry, no." Lin Longma smiled and rejected Kudo Shinichi's request: "Mr. Tsujimura is a client of our company. I have the obligation to keep my client's secret whether he is alive or dead.

Unless the police issue a formal letter, I will not disclose the privacy of my clients.”

Lin Longma felt that this little brother Kudo Shinichi was really unusually arrogant - it was fine if the police just flattered him and flattered him in order to solve the case.

I don't have anything to ask of him, so how dare he give me orders so carelessly?

What's wrong?
After Lin Longma's veiled response, he suddenly asked Kudo Shinichi, "Mr. Kudo, we are strangers. How did you know our company's secrets?"

Hayashi Ryoma, Mori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji discussed the commission in private, which is called briefing and sharing among colleagues.

If Kudo Shinichi made this matter public in front of so many people, Hayashi Ryoma would definitely not admit it, and he would even have to investigate how Kudo Shinichi knew the company's secrets.

The confident question was not answered, but was instead caught off guard by Lin Ryoma - but Kudo Shinichi was still speechless.

What could he say? Say he heard it himself? But the only people who heard it at the time were Maori Kogoro, Conan, Hattori Heiji and Maori Ran. Even if he was crazy, he couldn't say that.

The only solution now is to put the blame on Conan!
Kudo Shinichi immediately said: "I'm sorry, President Lin, I'm not sure if this is your company's business secret. Conan actually told me. Before I came here, Conan told me about the situation at the scene."

"Oh?" Lin Ryoma showed an indecisive expression and didn't say anything. Kudo Shinichi didn't know whether Lin Ryoma believed it or not.

He has more important things to do now.

"Mrs. Tsujimura, Miss Katsuragi should be your daughter."
