Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"This..." Kumada Munkichi smiled awkwardly, trying to explain clearly to Chi Feichi the situation in Kumamoto's business circle, "Although our company's candies will be sold in Umbrella's shopping malls, we and Umbrella are just ordinary We have a cooperative relationship with Umbrella. I don’t have a deep personal relationship with Umbrella employees. This incident has nothing to do with Umbrella. It is really rude for us to rush to others for help, and they have no reason to help us... "

Before the establishment of Umbrella was announced, the Yan Group had considerable influence in Kumamoto. More than one company had received capital injections from Yan Financial Institutions. Their Xiongwen Foods had not received capital injections, and that was only because they had not yet received capital injections. Can't get into the eyes of Yan's consortium.

Although in addition to the Yan Consortium, there are other local consortiums that are developing their financial departments, but whether it is the Yan Consortium or other consortiums, they are unmatched by companies like them, and they occasionally interact with the senior managers of those consortiums. , they can only think about how to leave a good impression on the other party, not to mention getting help, at least not to offend.

This year, the Yan Consortium merged into Umbrella, further strengthening its influence in Kumamoto. Their Xiongwen Foods not only wanted to make good friends with the people in Umbrella's marketing department, but also wanted to have a good relationship with the online publicity department.

Xiongwen Food hopes to gain benefits from Umbrella's channels, and it also relies on some of Umbrella's channels. Umbrella does not lack products from two companies like Xiongwen Food, so the status of both parties is naturally the same. Face to face, Umbrella was firmly on top.

Under such circumstances, how dare he go to Umbrella's programmers for help with his own affairs?

If he had a good relationship with a manager or programmer at Umbrella in Kumamoto, he could ask for help in a personal capacity. However, he had no personal relationship with those people, and he suddenly came to ask for help. A programmer will only make people think that he has some serious illness.

Well, as an out-of-town tourist and very young, Mr. Chi may not be very aware of Umbrella’s influence in Kumamoto, nor of Umbrella’s dominant position in the face of companies like theirs, but now Umbrella is so famous. Big, Mr. Chi should be able to understand the difference between Xiongwen Food and Umbrella. As long as he says that he has no personal relationship with the people there, Mr. Chi should be able to understand what he means...

"It doesn't matter if I'm here," Chi Feichi calmly reassured Kumada Monkichi, "I'm Umbrella's consultant. If you need it later, I can contact the administrator's office and ask him to They sent programmers over to help.”

"That's it..."

Xiongtian Wenji put his hand on the table to help himself stand more firmly, but all he could think about was Chi Feichi's understatement of "I am Umbrella's consultant". He felt that sentence was booming in his mind, reflecting on it. I felt relieved because I didn't say anything bad about Umbrella just now, and showed a big smile to Chi Feichi, "Thank you for your help!"

Kosugi Keiji saw that Chi Feichi was not joking, and was a little surprised. Then he smiled confidently and said, "If we can get help from Umbrella programmers, we will definitely not have any problem if we want to get clues through the USB flash drive." Yes, no wonder Mr. Chi can give such advice who knows computer equipment very well, it turns out you are Umbrella’s consultant!”

"Actually, clues can not only be obtained from the USB flash drive," Chi Feichi did not want to enter the business polite mode with others, and continued talking, his eyes moved from Kosugi Keiji to Kumada Monkichi, "President Kumada, just now Officer Kosugi He said that when Mr. Inoue, who first discovered the theft in the company, arrived at the company that morning, he only saw that the door lock of the company was broken, and there were no other signs of damage in the house, right?"

After Conan helped Kumada Munkichi remove the USB flash drive, he left Kumada Munkichi and returned to Chi Feichi. Hearing Chi Feichi's question, a smile appeared on his lips.

His little friends are also very energetic today. It seems that they want to delineate the scope of suspects for these people...

"Yes, that's what Inoue said," Xiong Tianwen turned to Mitsuo Inoue to confirm, "right, Inoue?"

Inoue Mitsuo didn't know what Chi Feichi had in mind, and he felt uneasy. On his face, he had to pretend to be calm and respectful to Kumada Monkichi, and nodded, "No, that's right!"

"Are there any signs that the cabinet, desk drawer or other places have been disturbed?" Chi Feichi looked at Mitsuo Inoue, his eyes so calm that he didn't look like he was looking at a criminal.

Mitsuo Inoue pretended to remember on his face, hesitating and struggling in his heart, but decided to follow what he said at the beginning, "No, I didn't find anything messed up... Uh, but it's possible that I overlooked something. Bar."

Mouri Kogoro touched his chin with his right hand and carefully sorted out his thoughts, "It seems that this incident was not a random burglary by a thief, but a crime committed by an acquaintance! If it were an ordinary thief, he would definitely search everywhere after entering the room. After making a mess in the room, he would not restore the room after finding valuable things, but would only leave as soon as possible. However, the thief who stole this time did not rummage around. He should have a certain understanding of the Xiongwen Food Company office, and this time The thief only stole the president's Kumamon doll and the company's development materials. This also shows that the other party came prepared and came for the development materials of Xiongwen Food Company. Moreover, the thief might be an insider of the company. oh!"

Conan looked at Mouri Kogoro with some surprise.

Although this is the most basic reasoning, based on Uncle Kogoro’s many years of experience as a policeman and detective, it is not surprising to think of it, but today’s Uncle Kogoro is also very serious...

"You said the thief is one of our insiders?!" Kumada Monkichi couldn't help shouting again, and looked at Mitsuo Inoue with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Uh, President, this matter has nothing to do with me. I have worked in the company for so many years, but I have never done anything to regret the company." Mitsuo Inoue quickly waved his hand to deny, and then put on a careful warning, trying to mislead Other people's reasoning: "But I'm wondering if the U disk was sent by another competitor company to steal it? After the thief got the U disk, he deliberately restored the office to let us find out later. , and also want us to doubt each other..."

Kumada Monkichi had a hint of doubt in his eyes, and stopped staring at Inoue Mitsuo.

so……

"Impossible," Chi Feichi was aroused by Inoue Mitsuo's behavior of trying to struggle. He was looking forward to Inoue Mitsuo's next reaction. He said with certainty, his emotionless eyes stayed on Inoue Mitsuo, and He did not express his doubts about Mitsuo Inoue, but simply pointed out the flaw in Mitsuo Inoue's statement, "If a competitor company sends someone to steal the USB flash drive, they can just use the development data inside to make profits. Why do you still call and extort 10 million from President Xiongtian?"

Kumada Munyoshi looked suddenly enlightened.

That's right, if it was done by a competitor company, they probably wouldn't have stolen the USB flash drive and then called to blackmail them...

The rhetoric he came up with was suddenly found to have loopholes, which made Inoue Mitsuo feel more and more uneasy. His face was calm, but cold sweat broke out uncontrollably on his forehead.

With Chi Feichi's eyesight, he could naturally see the cold sweat on Inoue Mitsuo's head. Coupled with his attention to Inoue Mitsuo, he could also see all the anxious micro-expressions of Inoue Mitsuo's heart, which made him feel a little bit evil. Satisfied, he continued, "I would think that a company that sends people to steal other companies' trade secrets should not be small in scale, has channels to use development materials to obtain profits of more than 10 million, and will not take the risk of being traced by the police for blackmail. 10 million, so I agree with Teacher Maori that this theft was most likely done by an internal employee of Xiongwen Food."

"What a hateful guy!" Kumada Monkichi gritted his teeth and his eyes widened like a grumpy bear, "If you let me know who that guy is, I will definitely let him know what regret means!"

Mitsuo Inoue: "..."

(;;)

Afraid to speak.

No one can understand how much pressure he is under at the moment...

Chi Feichi observed Inoue Mitsuo with his eyes lowered and his eyebrows lowered. He felt that the psychological pressure Inoue Mitsuo was still under was not high enough and he did not show more reactions that could make him feel happy. He continued, "Wait a minute and let the technical staff retrieve it." U disk operation record, if the data in the U disk was deleted before last night, it can probably prove that the real thief or mastermind is someone inside Xiongwen Food Company."

Listening to Chi Feichi's calm analysis, Xiongtian Wenji's anger was suppressed a lot, and he asked with a puzzled face, "Huh? Why do you say that?"

Conan had already reacted and joined the reasoning team with a smile, "Because the prisoner gave the USB flash drive to a man he met in the bar last night and asked that man to conduct transactions. If he didn't actually want the company to go bankrupt, he wouldn't have let him do it. If the development data is really leaked, before handing over the USB flash drive last night, the data in the USB flash drive will be deleted. On the other hand, there will be worries that the development data will be leaked and the company will not be able to continue operating, so the data will be deleted in advance... …The only people who are so worried about the future of the company are people within the company or around President Kumada, right?”
