Detective Conan: Becoming a Zaibatsu - Starting with Joining the Winery

Ten minutes later.

Lin Mo sat in the tea room yawning, a cigarette dangling from his lips, looking like he was forcing himself to "work".

Not long after.

After Amuro Tooru walked in, he greeted Lin Mo first, and then slowly sat down opposite Lin Mo.

"Good evening, Lin Mojun."

Facing the polite Amuro Tooru, Lin Mo remained calm, stubbing out his cigarette before slowly speaking, "Just say it, why are you looking for me so late?"

Yes!

For Lin Mo, Amuro Tooru is a difficult person to subdue.

Such people only have simple exploitative value, so there's absolutely no need to develop feelings for them. Just get rid of them if you have something to say, and get lost if you don't.

And, in response to this.

Amuro Tooru's face remained expressionless until the butler, Ochiai, left, at which point his expression turned icy: "What I want to know is, just how much does Lin Mojun actually know?"

"Everything." Lin Mo shrugged, his tone calm: "Rei Furuya."

"Zero, a non-existent organization under the Security Planning Division of the National Police Agency's Security Bureau."

"You're the leader of Team Zero, with the rank of Inspector, right?"

"But what I'm really curious about is how you dare to show up right in front of me. Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the organization and have you killed?"

Yes.

Lin Mo was very curious about this!

He didn't believe that Amuro Tooru was there to kill him. After all, he had already demonstrated his strength last time. If Amuro Tooru wasn't stupid, he wouldn't have chosen this method.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Unlike Lin Mo, who was full of doubt, Amuro Tooru's mind went completely blank, and a chill ran down his spine.

His eyes were filled with terror as he stared at Lin Mo in disbelief.

no way!

Although he had prepared himself for the worst before coming here, hearing Lin Mo say those words still made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

How is that possible?

He had thought that Lin Mo had discovered some of his secrets, but he never expected that Lin Mo would know all of them.

At that moment, he was flustered, but as a super undercover agent, he forced himself to calm down.

He looked at Lin Mo solemnly and then said, word by word.

"I dared to come here because I trust you won't expose me."

"but……"

"Lin Mojun's information still surprised me. I didn't expect her to investigate me so thoroughly. To be honest, it really scared me a bit."

"But what I can't understand even more is, since Lin Mojun knows all my secrets, why doesn't she choose to expose me?"

Yes.

The current Amuro Tooru is truly incomprehensible!

He originally thought that Lin Mo had only found out his real name and, incidentally, some things about his childhood.

But now it seems I was completely wrong.

and so.

He became increasingly puzzled by Lin Mo's choice. Why didn't this person betray him? Could Lin Mo also be an undercover agent?

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Lin Mo seemed to have guessed Amuro Tooru's thoughts, so he immediately shook his head and said, "You probably think I'm an undercover agent now."

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong."

"I'm not an undercover agent; I'm just a regular member of the organization."

"The reason why they didn't report you is even simpler: it's obvious that you have a problem. Gin, Vermouth, and even Rum all know it."

"The reason we're not taking action against you is simpler: everyone is just speculating, and there's no evidence to support it."

"If they are peripheral members, we can kill them directly; mere suspicion is enough."

"Codenamed members, completely different!"

"Those who have reached this point are practically the organization's elite. They must have absolute, irrefutable evidence before they can take action; otherwise, the other codenamed members will all be in danger."

"Besides, you're quite capable, so you can relax; nobody's really prepared to deal with you."

"I'm so full I could burst..."

"You've only lost the chance to climb the ranks. Your personal safety is still not a concern. After all, you're not that idiot Shuichi Akai, who was ready to attack Gin as soon as he became a codename member."

Lin Mo was too lazy to lie, so he just told the truth.

after all……

He really doesn't care!

Now that his personal strength and influence have both risen, there is no longer a need for him to be cautious.

Even if Amuro Tooru knew, what could he do? He had no power to arrest him, and his superiors would never agree to arrest him.

in contrast.

If I can make a good move this time, and if I can break Amuro Toru's heart, I might be able to recruit him directly.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo smiled faintly.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Amuro Tooru was stunned by these words and looked at Lin Mo at a loss.

"impossible!"

"Are you saying I was exposed a long time ago?"

"I always complete my missions so perfectly, there's no way I could have given myself away!"

"..."

Toru Amuro muttered to himself.

His brain started working non-stop, trying to figure out what was wrong with him.

Suspect?

Was Lin Mo deceiving him?

It's pointless!

He didn't think he had any right to be deceived.

"Alright, stop guessing." Lin Mo waved his hand, too lazy to continue the nonsense: "It's late at night, I don't have time to chat with you."

"I'll just tell you directly."

Upon hearing these words, Amuro Tooru looked at Lin Mo in front of him with a serious expression.

Obviously.

He was genuinely curious about what exactly was wrong with him.

no way!

This was indeed a huge blow to him, a top-notch undercover agent.

Lin Mo didn't waste any words and immediately spoke after putting down his teacup.

"Actually, you already gave the reason, which is your 100% task completion rate."

"Too high!"

"It's ridiculously high; no normal person could possibly complete the task 100% of the time."

"I can't do it, Gin can't do it, and neither can Rum."

"Your 100% completion rate only proves one thing: you have a team behind you to help you."

"And there's a second point!"

You have cleverness, but no wisdom!

"Under normal circumstances, any normal person would have their own goals when joining an organization."

Money, beauty, power, status...

"And what about you?"

"It seems that besides taking small advantages of the organization and stuffing in extra expense reports, all you're interested in is climbing the ladder."

Is this normal?

"This is not normal!"

"Shirley seeks a comfortable life, Curaçao wants to enjoy the sun and beaches, Tequila is interested in beauty and money, and needless to say, Gin, Rum, and I are pursuing status, power, and position..."

"What is an organization?"

"It's just a platform we chose in order to pursue our dreams."

"You may not know this, but Gin and I only hand over a small portion of our operations to the organization each time."

"If it's my own goal and the organization is just helping, then my share is 50%, Gin's is 30%, and the organization's is 20%."

"Why has my power grown so rapidly?"

"The initial Seiha family, then the Takasugi family, the Tomizawa family, and now Piske..."

"And what about you?"

"You don't think you're so smart just because you take advantage of some organizations, do you?"

"The organization is short of money? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Compared to what we took, what you took is not even a drop in the ocean, and it seems more like you are deliberately creating a weakness for yourself."

"Tell me..."

"A guy like you, who has no ambition and only wants to climb the ladder, doesn't that stand out in the organization's eyes? Doesn't that make you seem like an outcast?"
