Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

"That's right,"

Tequila nodded and said to Lin Jiayou with a wry smile,

"Cherry, you were really amazing at solving that case last time."

"To be honest, I hadn't even seen what was in the room properly before you told me to move on to another location to search for evidence."

"I don't want to waste my time on such boring things,"

Lin Jiayou said calmly.

It's fast, isn't it? I recited it for you exactly from memory.

"You're comfortable now, but I'm in trouble,"

Tequila rolled its eyes.

"The Metropolitan Police Department listed me as an outstanding and helpful citizen, and now they're insisting on taking me to receive a banner in recognition of my contributions!"

"Then you go."

Lin Jiayou said calmly,

"Anyway, you're the one who caused this trouble, and you're the one who solved the case for them, so it's not a problem for you to accept the banner of appreciation."

That makes sense...

Agave pondered to himself, and after a few seconds...

"screw you,"

Tequila couldn't help but spray a mouthful of tequila at Lin Jiayou.

"You Cherry, you're trying to fool me."

"I'm just letting you know that I'm going to the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up that banner, and you'll have to come with me."

"roll."

Lin Jiayou said expressionlessly,

"Are you going to betray me?"

"I don't care, you have to come with me."

Agave snorted coldly.

"That way, if Gin asks about it later, you can vouch for me."

"I feel that Gin trusts you far more than most people do..."

Tsk tsk tsk... Tequila is quite clever.

Lin Jiayou thought to himself,

Well, I'll go with the old man. It shouldn't take much time anyway, and it'll be a good opportunity to expand my resource library...

"Okay, I agree."

"okay,"

The tequila chuckled.

"Officer Sato told me to be there at 9:30 in the morning."

"and many more,"

Lin Jiayou suddenly remembered something.

"Tequila, you didn't go there under that Dragon Four's identity, did you?"

"yes,"

Agave nodded.

"For this, I even went to Satani to get a Long Si ID card."

At this point, Tequila added with a grin,

"From China."

"You are really..."

Lin Jiayou was speechless.

"sharp."

Sadoni is really capable; no wonder she was able to obtain an official code name despite being a government official.

Well, that's it, agave has truly become Chinese now.

Language is not a problem, identity is not a problem, I am definitely Chinese.

.......................................

9:15

The venue pre-arranged by the Metropolitan Police Department

Lin Jiayou put the agave in the car and waited quietly by himself in the car.

"Oh my, Brother Long, you've finally arrived!"

As soon as Tequila walked in, Inspector Megure came up to her with a big smile and grabbed her hand.

It wasn't that he recognized tequila; it was just that the image described by Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi was too easily recognizable.

Dressed all in black (not today), tall and burly, with an extremely fierce face, he didn't look like a good person at all—a typical cold-faced but kind-hearted man...

Inspector Megure immediately recognized the tequila.

He was wondering if this Mr. Long Si was older than him, but after hesitating for three seconds, his intuition told him that it was more appropriate to call him "brother".

"I've long admired your name, Brother Long,"

Inspector Megure was very enthusiastic, but his height and build looked somewhat comical next to the tequila.

"Officer Sato and Officer Takagi raved about you when they came back!"

"In this case, we also want to thank you for your courage in lending a helping hand at the crime scene..."

"Not at all, officer, you flatter me..."

Tequila was praised so highly by Inspector Megure that it became a little embarrassed.

I'm really sorry, officer. These people probably added a lot of extra work for you recently.

"Hey, Brother Long, just call me Megure. I'm the head of the three departments who forcibly committed crimes."

Inspector Megure then remembered that Tequila didn't know his name, and quickly said...

“We’ll be counting on kind and capable citizens like you, Brother Long, to help us out in the future.”

"So you're Inspector Megure, the expert who solves major cases. I've long admired you; I'll definitely look forward to working with you more in the future..."

Tequila outwardly echoed his enthusiasm, but inwardly he was thinking...

Inspector Megure, I'll definitely boost your performance and help you get promoted quickly...

"Haha, then it's settled..."

Inspector Megure was very pleased.

I've found another great younger brother on this trip.

If Brother Long says that, then if we happen to bump into him at a crime scene in the future, he'll definitely feel bad not helping, right?

"Ah-"

Inspector Megure suddenly sneezed.

He gently rubbed his nose.

Strange, I'm usually in great physical condition. Could it be that Little Green is thinking about me...?

"Oh, Mr. Long, you've finally arrived!"

As Sato Miwako stepped from the front of the stage into the backstage, the first thing she noticed was Tequila's exceptional height.

Tequila smiled warmly at Sato Miwako.

"Officer Sato, it's been a long time."

"Oh, don't be so polite next time. We'll be seeing each other quite often anyway."

Sato Miwako waved her hand dismissively.

Tequila nodded. What she said seemed reasonable, but something just felt off...

"Inspector Megure, the reporters are almost all here, only Ryu is missing..."

Takagi Wataru rushed in and spoke to Inspector Megure.

He was halfway through his conversation when he saw the tequila and was overjoyed.

"Haha, this is perfect, Mr. Long is here too."

"Inspector, get ready to begin."

"Um,"

Inspector Megure nodded, smiled at Tequila, and said...

"Mr. Long, the front desk is ready. Let's go up on stage."

"Uh, okay,"

Tequila instinctively agreed, then quickly realized what was happening.

"Wait, Inspector Megure, why are there reporters here...?"

"Isn't it normal to have reporters at a press conference?"

Inspector Megure looked at Tequila with a strange expression.

Tequila was dumbfounded. Wait, wasn't it supposed to be an award banner and prize money? How did it turn into a press conference?!

This feels like it's not just going to be in the newspapers, it's going to be on the front page!

"Oh dear, Mr. Long, there's no time. Let's go on stage first."

Inspector Megure glanced at his watch and urged him on.

Agave had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
