Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 97 92. Speculations about Chris's "good intentions"
"I hope you can use your authority to investigate the research department for information on the APTX series of drugs before the new drugs are developed."

"Can you be more specific?" As the main developer of the new drug, Shirley naturally has the authority to review all previous research and development reports of the new drug.

Shirley's authority in this regard is frighteningly high.

After all, if Shirley wants to develop Drug A, she must wash away her past failures, right?
Otherwise, if you choose the wrong path, no matter how hard you study, you will only get further and further away from your ultimate goal.

Although Shirley's personal freedom is currently subject to certain restrictions, her authority in experiments will not be restricted.

The main reason why Shirley did not conduct a thorough research in this area in the past was because she herself was opposed to the development of new drugs.

But now that she has learned the [Reverse Pie-in-the-sky Technique] taught to her by Lin Longma, she will have to learn about the research history of the A series of drugs sooner or later.

Not to mention that Lin Longma needs her help now.

However, the research and development history of series A drugs is quite long, and there is a mountain of information, which cannot be read through in a short period of time.

It takes a long time just to read it, let alone to understand it thoroughly.

That's why Shirley asked Lin Longma for the specific goal, so that she would have a clear direction when looking up the database.

“It’s Vermouth.” Lin Longma did not hide anything from Shirley and simply said, “I hope you can pay more attention to the human experiments of the A series of drugs.

Since Gin can use your unfinished "new drug" for "human experiments", then the previous A series drug research and development must be unable to avoid this.

Please help me check whether Vermouth has ever participated in human experiments on A series drugs. No, not just A series drugs.

Count all the experiments of the Research Department and help me see if Vermouth has ever had any intersection with the Research Department."

"Okay, I understand." Shirley nodded: "How can I contact you if I find out something?"

Lin Longma casually pulled a notepad from the table, wrote a string of letters on it and said:
"This is my email address, feel free to contact me if you find anything."

"it is good."
.
After leaving the scientific research base, Lin Longma returned to the base, but he did not go directly back to his president's office. When he passed by Akita's president's office and found that the light was still on, he knocked on the door and walked in.

"Big brother?"

"Help me check something."

With Hayashi Ryoma's prestige within the Isshinkai, he was able to ask Kaneda to bypass Akita and notify his subordinates to work for him.

But for Hayashi Ryoma, who is determined to be the top leader, doing this is equivalent to undermining the second-in-command Akita.

It is understandable that the top leader takes charge of the overall situation in an emergency, but if he does so on a normal day, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of the second-in-command.

After this becomes a habit over time, President Akita will probably slowly become a yes-man or mascot who only conveys orders.

It’s like there are two monitors in a class, the chief monitor and the deputy monitor. Every time the head teacher assigns some matters that need to be handled by the monitor, he assigns them to the deputy monitor. After a long time, who will take the chief monitor seriously?

This is not the result that Lin Longma wanted.

Including the afternoon when Lin Longma asked Kaneda to investigate the killer, he also asked Kaneda to contact Akita, and then Akita issued the task.

When Akita heard Lin Longma's request, he immediately put down his work and asked, "Brother, what do you want to check?"

"First, check whether Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan have ever left the country and been to America.

If there is any, go and find out where Vermouth was when these two were in America."

"Okay, big brother, I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away." Upon hearing that the matter involved Vermouth, Akita responded immediately. After arranging the investigation against Vermouth, Lin Longma returned to his president's office.

He had a premonition that the "truth" about Vermouth was getting closer and closer.

At the same time, he had more thoughts about Vermouth's disguise when they first met.

Lin Longma was caught off guard when he first met Vermouth, because no one had ever discussed this matter with him.

However, Vermouth's calmness at the time made Lin Longma realize that Vermouth must have been informed of this matter in advance.

Maybe it was the boss's reminder or maybe it was Gin's notification. In any case, it was normal for Vermouth to have some privileges as a senior executive of the organization and the boss's favorite woman.

But why did Vermouth show off her superb disguise and lifelike voice-changing skills when they first met?
At first, Hayashi Ryoma also thought that this was probably just Vermouth teasing Gin.

But as Lin Longma spent time with Vermouth today, he realized that although this girl was a mystic, she would never do useless work.

Vermouth showed her "real skills" in front of him, which was equivalent to directly exposing her two trump cards to Lin Ryoma.

Would she really make such a sacrifice just to "tease" Gin?

From this perspective, Vermouth does have some of the attributes of a "crazy woman" and her style of doing things is also "mysterious" enough.

But if we look at it from another angle - what if this is a reminder from Vermouth to Hayashi Ryoma or the Isshinkai?

Lin Longma has a very clear positioning of the Isshin Society. Although the Isshin Society is not a thorn in the side of the organization, it is indeed a major uncontrollable factor within the organization.

If Lin Longma was the boss, he would definitely find a way to keep Isshin firmly in his hands.

Or it can be in the hands of your own people.

At this moment, Vermouth, who can perfectly disguise herself as anyone, is simply the most suitable person to carry out this espionage mission.

Since she could disguise herself as a waiter in the executive department's base, she could disguise herself as any member of the Isshin Society.

Over time, Vermouth was able to successfully discover any secrets he wanted.

But now that she had "appeared" like this, Yi Xin would become sufficiently wary of people who could disguise themselves.

This includes certain important departments and important personnel in the Yi Xin Hui’s strongholds, which will be subject to necessary “inspections” regularly and irregularly.

From this perspective, Vermouth’s reminder is quite effective.

Lin Longma never hesitates to assume the greatest malice towards others, but he also doesn't mind thinking of the good in people.

If a person indulges in darkness all day long, there is no doubt that he will be associated with darkness all day long in the future.

Even though he was in the organization, Lin Longma didn't mind thinking better of people. Of course, most of the time it was just a thought.

Even if Vermouth really has good intentions towards them, it will not let Lin Ryoma relax at all.

He knew very well that mountains would collapse if you relied on them, and water would flow if you relied on them. You could never rely on others. Only what you earned with your own hands was yours.

Now that Lin Longma is truly capable of protecting the "wealth" in his hands in the organization, no one can openly take away things that belong to Isshinkai.

Even if he is the boss, it won’t work! The boss is a coward, what does he know about the organization?!
