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

He had originally planned to visit the Beihu Hotel, but since Tequila had a change of heart and decided to treat everyone, he came along with Tequila.

and......

Lin Jiayou thought to himself.

The arrival of tequila might not be a bad thing; it could even be a good thing.

He noticed that Conan and his friends had been getting quite close to Tequila lately, and perhaps there was some trust involved. So, perhaps...

"Humph--"

As Lin Jiayou was thinking, he inexplicably felt the urge to sneeze, but his body immediately resisted it, and it turned into a muffled groan.

That's strange. Is someone talking about me behind my back?

Otherwise, given his physical condition, even if everyone in the world died, he wouldn't be able to sneeze...

Could it be Sherry?

Yes, it must be Sherry.

He knew that this woman was never going to appreciate his good qualities.

He goes out to earn money to support the family, and this woman talks behind his back...

snort!

I'll give her a good scolding when I get back...

"Cherry, what's wrong?"

When Tequila saw Lin Jiayou's expression suddenly darken (?), she hurriedly asked.

Lin Jiayou shook his head expressionlessly.

"It's okay, I'm just trying my luck."

"Oh, oh, oh, I understand, I understand,"

Tequila looked as if she had just realized something.

"This is the Chinese internal martial arts you were talking about, right?"

"I didn't expect that,"

As he spoke, Tequila couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Cherry, you are already so powerful, yet you still cultivate your inner strength even while eating. You are truly a role model for us all."

"Compared to you, I'm just indulging in food and drink here, which makes me seem unambitious."

After saying that, Tequila finished the king crab and lobster in a few bites, and then took a big gulp of wine to moisten his throat.

He wiped the corner of his mouth clean with his large hand, slammed his fist on the table, his face resolute.

"From this day forward, I will also strive to cultivate myself and learn from you, Cherry!"

After Tequila finished expressing his loyalty and emphasizing his diligence, Lin Jiayou immediately looked around.

There was no one else around.

The entire room was empty except for the two brothers. Who was Tequila trying to impress with those flirtatious glances?

boom--

boom--

Two consecutive sounds, which sounded like gunshots, but also like a booming sound.

The floor of Lin Chia-yu and Tequila's luxurious private room also shook.

"what's the situation?!"

Tequila was immediately filled with vigilance, tucked both hands into the waistband of her overcoat, and glanced around with her leopard-like eyes.

Lin Jiayou continued eating elegantly, and gestured to Tequila not to be nervous.

"This is none of our business, please sit down."

"Oh, that's okay."

Hearing Lin Jiayou say that, Tequila scratched his head, smiled, and sat back down in his seat.

What? You're saying tequila isn't wary of cherries at all?

Just kidding, what's there to be wary of?

If Cherry really wanted to kill him, she wouldn't need all this fuss; she could just catch him off guard, rush up, and deliver a few punches with hidden force, and that would be the end of it.

So, for now, we should still eat and drink as usual...

Lin Jiayou sipped a bowl of broth that was said to be made with thirty-eight kinds of ingredients, his gaze seemingly piercing through the ceiling and walls of the Beihu Hotel to the banquet hall on the first floor.

It must be starting there soon...

No rush, let the mouse run a little longer...

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

Cup House Hotel

First floor banquet hall

Police cars with sirens blaring have arrived at the scene.

This time, perhaps because the people gathered at the Beika Grand Hotel today were all extraordinary individuals, the Metropolitan Police Department responded to the call very quickly.

Inspector Megure took the lead, rushing into the banquet hall on the first floor with his junior colleague, Wataru Takagi.

"Everyone stay still! Seal off the area immediately!"

Inspector Megure loudly issued orders.

Takagi Wataru immediately called on the other police officers to surround the scene.

Inspector Megure and his team's actions immediately drew the ire of the guests present.

"What's going on! How can you be such a police officer!"

"Even if someone dies at the scene, we don't all need to stay here!"

"Let me tell you, my company makes a fortune every day, and it wouldn't function without me for even half a minute!"

"Let me out! I know your Deputy Inspector Moroboshi!"

......

The guests present were all distinguished individuals, each a leader in their respective fields.

This outburst really gave Inspector Megure quite a fright.

He grumbled inwardly, thinking to himself, "I shouldn't have taken this case; now I'm in trouble."

The most important thing is——

He looked around and none of his brothers were there!

Brother Mori, Brother Kudo the First Generation, Brother Kudo the Second Generation, Brother Hattori, Brother Hayashi...

None of his handpicked brothers are here!

Spicy balls!

Inspector Megure looked at Wataru Takagi beside him with tears in his eyes.

With only Takagi, who's unpredictable and sometimes unreliable, it's uncertain whether this case will be resolved on schedule...

Ugh......

"Come on, tell me, what exactly happened at the scene? Who was the deceased?"

Inspector Megure shook his head, regained his composure, and looked at the crowd around him.

Although none of his brothers were present, the investigation must continue now that he's here.

And so, Inspector Megure, along with Wataru Takagi, began to investigate the surrounding area...

Conan, standing in the crowd, saw all of this clearly.

He desperately wanted to rush up and tell Inspector Megure what was happening, but...

His hand was grabbed by another person...

"Haiyuan?!"

Conan turned his head to look at the person who had just arrived, and was immediately startled.

"Why are you here too?!"

At this moment, Ai Haibara had changed into a conservative outfit, without wearing a short top or skirt.

Forehead......

Okay, it's winter now, so we shouldn't be wearing short tops and skirts anyway.

However, as a former child star, Ai Haibara still insists on dressing in a 'mature' and 'sexy' style.

As for why things have changed now...

Hehe, guess?

There's a word called 'contrast'...

Ai Haibara looked at Conan's surprised expression with a very complicated expression.

She never expected to run into Conan here.

I thought Conan would return home after failing to eavesdrop on Gin, but instead he ended up here...

Is this fate...?
