Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 78 74. How can we organize ourselves well with these American insects?
Shirley is not a fool. When she heard Lin Longma say this, she immediately realized the root of the problem.

She only asked some researchers and found out about the existence of Yi Xin Hui, so Yi Xin Hui was not a secret within the organization.

The Isshin Society is not a secret, but its members are. Except for some key members and high-level officials like Lin Longma, the organization does not know how many people are members of the Isshin Society.

Perhaps some frustrated intelligence agents in the Intelligence Support Department are members of the Isshin Society, and perhaps some operatives in the Executive Department who have received help from Lin Longma are also members of the Isshin Society. In any case, except for the Scientific Research Department, which Lin Longma has never been in contact with, the possibility of Isshin Society members appearing in any department of the organization is not zero.

Most members of the organization who have reached a certain level know what the Isshin Society is like. If Shirley joins at this time, what difference will it make to her saying that she will not stay put?
It would be fine if Shirley was from any other department, but she is from the research and development department, and is the main researcher in the development of new drugs.

Lin Longma was right. If she joined Isshinkai, she would only "die" faster and her situation would become worse.

At this time, Shirley was undoubtedly a little depressed. She originally wanted to rely on Lin Longma and Yi Xinhui.

This does not mean that Shirley only relies on others, but that she can recognize the nature of the organization better than other members of the organization, and she also knows that the organization can never be fought by one person.

All she wants is someone to huddle together for warmth.

Shirley has no intention of being a messenger of justice and destroying this huge organization. All she wants is to survive "lingering on" under the shadow of such a huge and dark organization.

The desire to survive is the instinct of every living thing.

"Perhaps when I get my own code name and the Risk Investigation Team is expanded into a formal, independent department, you can join the Isshinkai."

Noticing Shirley's frustration, Lin Longma smiled and comforted her.

Now it seems that Lin Longma's "ambition" is nothing but a pipe dream, a goal that can never be achieved.

But when the Isshin Society was first established, Lin Longma and his old friends did not expect that they could develop the Isshin Society into a "giant" with a large base and a headquarters investigation team directly under the boss.

As long as people are alive, everything is possible. Human beings are the race that is best at creating miracles.

Lin Longma's comfort successfully made Shirley laugh, and a rare smile appeared on her cold and pretty face.

Lin Longma didn't look at him in a daze, nor did he continue the previous topic. Instead, he suddenly asked:

"By the way, have you been paying attention to the situation outside recently?"

Shirley shook her head. The organization didn't mind her paying attention to the outside world by reading newspapers and watching TV, and she wouldn't mention the outside world too much when chatting with her sister.

Shirley's freedom is limited. If she talks about the situation outside on the phone, wouldn't that be like exposing someone's wounds?
"Kudo Shinichi, the lucky unlucky guy, has become notorious recently."

The last time I came, Lin Ryoma mentioned Kudo Shinichi and said that he saw him at a murder scene.

Shirley actually didn't understand it at the time.

If she were to become smaller, she would definitely find an inconspicuous place to hide, live her quiet life every day, and would never do anything to attract attention.

But what's the matter with Kudo Shinichi? Is he afraid that he won't die fast enough? The fact that he was easily found by Lin Longma proves that his ability to hide his identity is just average. If he's so bad, why not keep a low profile?
Kudo Shinichi should be thankful that it was Hayashi Ryoma who found him instead of Gin, otherwise their base should be filled with humanoid mice that are high school age, have elementary school bodies, and are "willing" to cooperate with biopharmaceutical research.

After much consideration, Shirley suddenly discovered the "blind spot" in Lin Longma's words.

"Can he turn from an elementary school student back into a high school student? What are the side effects? What is the process? What are the triggers?
Can he control this change himself? "The instinct of a scientific researcher is ready to act. Conan's existence is simply a "rare treasure" to Shirley.

It's like a jade carver seeing the Heshi Bi.

"I don't know about the other things, but he probably can't control this kind of change." Lin Ryoma briefly talked about the feud between Teiji Moritani and Shinichi Kudo, and the recent hot news in Tokyo.

"If he could control this change, given his personality, he would have gone to the scene to argue with Moriya Teiji a long time ago.

It would have been possible for him to come out and do some public relations afterwards, but he did nothing and just let his reputation ruin.

At his age and with his personality, it is impossible for him to have such determination."

Lin Longma did not mention another situation, that is, someone forcibly held down Kudo Shinichi.

The only people who could do this are probably Kudo's parents, but the couple is in America and may not be able to come back next week.

Speaking of which, he asked Gin to find someone to keep an eye on the Kudo couple in America, so how come there is no news after such a long time?
Lin Longma kept this matter in mind and planned to mention it to Gin when he met him.

The members of America are not good enough. Their efficiency is outrageous. Does America's organization branch also have to strictly adhere to the working hours of 9 am to 5 pm?
Shirley sighed softly at this time. She was extremely tired. It was not easy for someone to survive Gin's hands, but it turned out to be such a suicidal person.
Ugh.

Hayashi Ryoma mentioned Kudo Shinichi not specifically to talk to Shirley about Kudo Shinichi, but simply to use Kudo Shinichi as a topic introduction:

“The organization doesn’t know yet that Kudo Shinichi has become an elementary school student, but I don’t know how long this can be kept secret.

Would you consider doing something about it?"

"Do you want me to report Kudo Shinichi to the organization?" Shirley's eyes flashed and she asked insincerely.

"Of course not. Why do you want to do such a thankless task?" Lin Longma said in a gentle and persuasive manner:
"Your freedom is restricted now simply because Gin thinks you are not doing your best in the research and development of new drugs, but what is the reality? Not only have you worked hard on your research, you have also achieved certain results.

I'm not referring to Kudo Shinichi, but the little white mouse that degenerated into a baby mouse."

Although Lin Longma did not say the words she least wanted to hear, Shirley was inevitably confused at this moment.

What does this have to do with mice?
“You see, the ultimate goal of new drugs is to reverse life and death, or even revive the dead, but isn’t rejuvenation shocking enough?
In the midst of your ‘diligent’ scientific research, you suddenly discovered that the new drug you led in developing could achieve the ‘second-rate’ goal of reversing aging. Isn’t this a huge step forward in the development of new drugs? ”

"If you report this discovery, who can say that you didn't do your best in research and development? Who would be so ignorant as to restrict your freedom?"
