Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 289 283. The Slowly Rising Hill of the Research Department
"There are no clues. The high school student hid very well." Just saying this was obviously not enough to dispel Gin's doubts. Vermouth continued:

"Some time ago, Kudo Yusaku reported to the police that his son was missing, and mobilized his connections to find Kudo Shinichi.
It doesn’t look fake.”

"That's not necessarily true." Curacao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Kudo Yusaku is a top-notch mystery novelist, it's hard to guarantee that this isn't a trick of his.

What if Kudo Yusaku intends to use this method to cover up Kudo Shinichi?"

Lin Longma was very surprised by Curacao's remarks.

He had met Curacao two or three times, and Curacao always left Lin Longma with the impression of being taciturn.

If Gin is the boss's loyal dog, then Curacao is the hyena that obeys Rum.

Such a person would actually refute Vermouth himself.
At first glance, Curacao's speech sounded reasonable, but in reality, Lin Longma always felt that it was just a rebuttal for the sake of rebuttal.

What is going on? What other grievances are there between Vermouth and Curacao?
Lin Longma said nothing and just ate the melon.

As the "neutral judge" at the scene, Gin believes in Vermouth's ability to obtain intelligence, but also agrees with Curacao's suspicions.

"What do you think?" Gin looked at Lin Ryoma and asked for his opinion.

According to Gin's style of doing things, he should have brought Kudo Yusaku back now - what does it matter whether he is a novelist or not, as long as he is in the organization, aren't they the ones who have the final say?

However, the mission to retrieve Kudo Shinichi is too important, and some rough methods must not be used at the beginning of the mission.

Considering that Hayashi Ryoma is a black-hearted LYB, Gin decided to listen to Hayashi Ryoma's advice.

"There's nothing wrong with Vermouth's information, and Curacao's suspicion is normal. In my opinion, why not find an opportunity to test Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko?"

"Probe? How?"

Testing is good, Gin likes to be tested. When he tested Akai Shuichi, he immediately found out the FBI.

It doesn't matter whether this trick is new or old, as long as it works.

"This is where Vermouth has to take action." Lin Longma looked at Vermouth: "Didn't Kudo Yusaku say that Kudo Shinichi is missing?

Then let Kudo Shinichi appear in front of him, just a silhouette or a profile. "

"If Kudo Yusaku catches up, it will prove that what Vermouth said is true. Kudo Shinichi is so cautious that he doesn't even contact his own parents.

If they don't chase after them or don't care, then just capture Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko and bring them back to the organization.

Whether using them to threaten Kudo Shinichi or just sitting back and waiting, they are the best bargaining chips."

Lin Longma directly blocked Kudo Yusaku from both ends. This is also the idea that best fits Lin Longma's identity as a LYB.

If I have to make a choice, it would certainly be more beneficial for the Kudo family to catch up.

But once this is done, Kudo Shinichi will never be able to appear in Tokyo again.

Because once Kudo Shinichi reappears, all people who have had contact with Kudo Shinichi will become the focus of close surveillance by the organization.

If there is any abnormality, someone will be "invited" to the organization.

"Yes, Lin Longma's suggestion is very good. Let's do it!" When Rum is not here, Gin is the highest-level person among the few people.

Automatically take leadership.

"Then let's give this task to..." Gin was about to let Lin Longma take charge of this matter, but was rejected by Lin Longma. "Forget it, let Vermouth and Curacao take charge of this task?" Lin Longma continued: "Kudo Yusaku wants to test it and it involves too much energy, I can't take care of it.

However, if there is a chance, I can still help test it out for you, Yukiko Kudo."

"By the way, I think we should test them separately. Maybe Kudo Yusaku can take care of everything, but Kudo Yukiko definitely doesn't have this ability."

"Okay, then Hayashi Ryoma will be in charge of testing Kudo Yukiko, and Vermouth and Curacao will be in charge of Kudo Yusaku."

"I emphasize again that the boss values Kudo Shinichi very much, and this mission is the organization's top priority.

Curacao, remember to convey the boss's will to Rum, and let him go for now."

Otherwise, why is it said that Gin is the most loyal cadre to the boss in this organization? He really listens to what the boss says.

No matter how unhappy he was with the orders given by his boss, he would carry them out without any compromise.

The meeting ended here, and Gin and Vodka left the research department’s base as soon as possible.

Vermouth and Curacao didn't leave directly because they still had to discuss the details of the mission.

Lin Longma had no intention of listening in on the details of the two men's mission.

After leaving the meeting room, Lin Longma asked someone to take him to Shirley's office.

After completing the experiment replication, Shirley's treatment in the scientific research department changed dramatically.

The most obvious change is that this scientific research department now completely belongs to Shirley, and she will be the person in charge of this medium-sized base in the future.

At the same time, those scientists who originally just wanted to find a place to work and slack off became excited after learning that Shirley's experiment had been successfully replicated.

That is to unite firmly around Shirley and firmly believe that Shirley is the greatest scientist of this century.

It can be said that Shirley now directly controls this stronghold - most of Shirley's people from top to bottom, although not developed by Shirley, have voluntarily surrendered.

A mountain of scientific research department seemed to be rising slowly.

"Wow, this office is almost as big as mine. Our Lady Shirley has really improved."

Lin Long walked into Shirley's office and looked around, sighing with emotion.

How many years did it take him to achieve this? He was trembling with fear, treading on thin ice, not daring to make any mistakes.

But Shirley, after a lot of bad things, turned around and got a very important position in the research department.

Lin Longma was sure that if the boss were to choose between Shirley and Rum, Rum would definitely not be the one chosen by the boss.

Ever since he learned about the specific effects of Drug A, Lin Longma understood that the establishment and operation of all departments of the entire organization are actually centered on the Scientific Research Department.

The reason why other departments seem to be stronger is that the core research of the Science and Technology Department has not made any progress.

Now that there is progress, Gin and his friends were immediately called by the boss to the research department base to "take orders".

"Don't make sarcastic remarks. I didn't expect that this experiment could actually be successfully replicated."

Shirley walked over to Lin Longma, closed the office door, and a tired expression appeared on her cold face.
