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

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After assigning the tasks, Lin Mo became too lazy to deal with the organizational assignment and returned to his usual lazy state.

Every day, he either reads books and plays games, or goes shopping with girls like Xiaolan.

Yes!

The organization's task is still in the preliminary investigation stage, and there is no need for him, a senior cadre, to appear in person for the time being. He has countless subordinates to help him handle these matters.

So for now, just play!

If he also had to work hard alongside the codenamed members, wouldn't he have been a high-ranking member of the organization for nothing?

Until a week later.

Lin Mo received a call from Yoko Okino. Things were going well with Toshiya Odagiri; the "friend" he had arranged for him had already arrived and would call his father tonight.

Upon hearing this phone call, Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

"Okay, got it."

"Just follow the original plan. When Odagiri Toshiya calls soon, just remember to let me know in advance."

After hanging up the phone, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

After a while.

He called Toshiro Odagiri directly, gave a brief explanation of the situation, and then Odagiri invited Lin Mo to his house for dinner.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo froze on the spot.

After glancing at the calendar, I slapped my forehead and realized that today was another day off.

"Can."

"I'll be there shortly!"

After hanging up the phone again, Lin Mo instructed the butler, Ochiai, to prepare the car.

Ten minutes later.

After Shota Ochiai drove the car out, Lin Mo rode to the Odagiri residence, a beautiful and secluded manor that was not part of his own estate.

This is not a villa or estate, but a traditional Japanese building, which looks similar to the Hattori family's residence.

Lin Mo understood that these traditional powers in the island nation did not particularly like Western-style architecture.

A middle-aged butler led Lin Mo to the tea room. Upon seeing this, Odagiri Toshiro stood up and bowed, saying, "Lin Mo-kun, welcome to my humble abode."

"Odagiri-kun, you're too kind," Lin Mo returned the greeting.

Yes!

In the customs of this island nation, friends usually don't invite each other to their homes for casual chats. Instead, they would choose a teahouse or restaurant outside, just like last time.

But this time...

The fact that Toshiro Odagiri chose to meet Lin Mo at his private residence shows that he truly considers Lin Mo a close friend.

Lin Mo was naturally delighted!

Who wouldn't want more core allies?

The allies within the organization are only the core base; he also needs to cultivate many more external allies in order to gain a more and more stable position in the island nation's upper echelons.

after all……

The island nations here are different from the real island nations. The real island nations have been completely dismantled by the US. After World War II, the so-called island nation tycoons were all puppets, and the family businesses of those tycoons were mostly taken over by US tycoons.

The island nation in the world before us, although it has also been annexed by the United States, still maintains a high degree of dominance.

at this point.

You can tell from the original work!

Whether it's FBI or CIA agents being arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department, the department is also quite troubled by it, but the FBI and CIA agents don't dare to act too recklessly.

It's basically just going through the motions, and it's quite a show of respect to the Metropolitan Police Department!

Of course.

From a purely anime perspective, this is simply self-aggrandizement.

But things are different now.

Since this anime has evolved into real society, the plot holes that the original author didn't fill in will be filled in by the world itself, and various settings will be added, which naturally leads to the scene that Lin Mo is seeing now.

and so.

Lin Mo was indeed very willing to be friends with Toshiro Odagiri!

"Lin Mojun, please have some tea."

Odagiri Toshiro personally brewed a cup of tea for Lin Mo, his eyes filled with affection.

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo was very polite, picked up the teacup and thanked him, and for a moment the atmosphere was harmonious.

During this period.

Lin Mo knew what Odagiri Toshiro was worried about, so he took the initiative to give a brief introduction to his child's situation and said that he should be able to receive a call from Odagiri Toshiro by this afternoon or at the latest by tonight.

Upon hearing this, Toshiro Odagiri breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that so? That's good!"

"My brat is such a troublemaker, Lin Mojun."

"That's enough, let's have some tea."

Followed by.

He raised his teacup again, and Lin Mo followed suit.

Instead of continuing their conversation about Toshiya Odagiri, the two started chatting about all sorts of random things.

And, in response to this.

Lin Mo didn't say anything, after all, he knew very well what was going on in his mind.

Until the matter concerning Toshiya Odagiri is truly resolved, it's impossible for everyone to move to the next stage.

In transactions between conglomerates, profit is the ultimate goal!

Where do so many so-called friendships come from? Those things can only be formed gradually through countless collaborations, and some personal relationships can only be gradually developed.

Given their current situation, there's no need to think about it at this stage.

Therefore, next...

The two did not discuss specific matters. Lin Mo was received personally by Toshiro Odagiri as a guest.

……

On the other hand, there's Future Entertainment.

Incubation base for newcomers.

Now, Toshiya Odagiri's face is full of dejection, and he looks like a wilted eggplant. He no longer has his former arrogance and the attitude that he is the boss of the world.

no way!

Thinking about what he had gone through during this period, he even felt like dying.

Being despised and ridiculed by everyone is bad enough, but the key issue is that he wanted to stand out based on his own abilities, but his team members were constantly making things difficult for him.

In this situation, his identity was exposed.

The identity of being the sole heir of the Odagiri family terrified everyone, and he immediately began to apologize and make amends to himself.

Several team members even knelt down in their dorm room!

At that time, I truly felt triumphant.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long!

With the newspaper publishing the news that his father had severed ties with him and was choosing a new successor, the moment it was exposed at the new recruit base, everyone's perception of him changed drastically once again.

even……

Because their previous apology had offended them, they became even more humiliated with him!

that moment.

Odagiri Toshiya finally realized how terribly wrong he had been!

He thought he could still live well after leaving his family, and that he was truly pursuing his dreams, while his father was a stumbling block on his path in life.

But what about now?

Only after truly breaking free from his father's protection and facing society head-on did he realize how cruel reality can be.

The reason why people used to treat me so politely was simply because of my father's position.

Chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Bureau!

It is because of this position in the family that others dare not offend him.

If I choose to follow my father's arrangements, enter the Metropolitan Police Department, and take over his job, then I will be worthy of being treated with respect by others.

Once he loses this position, he, Toshimitsu Odagiri, will be nothing, and anyone will dare to bully him easily.

Apologize!

I should apologize to my father; perhaps there's still a chance to salvage the situation.

Having figured all this out, Toshiya Odagiri found his only "friend" here, Yuzo Inoue, a cleaner at this newbie base.

"Brother Inoue, please help me."

"I'd like to borrow your phone to call my father. I want to try and salvage the situation."

"Even if I ultimately fail, I should apologize to my father."

"I was definitely wrong before!"
