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

Soga!

Conan seemed to understand something.

A flash of white light appeared in his eyes.

Wow, coming to play football today was definitely the right decision!

If Yuan Tai hadn't suggested playing soccer, they would never have discovered this secret...

"Haha, it's nothing serious,"

Tequila smiled, appearing quite relaxed.

"I just came to see Mr. Mienkan to learn about some things."

"Is that so...?"

Conan was clearly somewhat skeptical, but he still outwardly agreed with it.

Without saying anything, Tequila rang the doorbell of Yoshiichi Watanuki's main gate...

Yoshikazu Watanuki came out again, his face still showing great impatience.

"You little brats, aren't you annoying? I told you I wouldn't let you into the yard, and I wouldn't give you a soccer ball..."

"Ok?"

When Mikan Yoshihisa saw the agave plant standing in front of the door, his expression immediately changed.

What a terrifying man...

He felt a pang of panic when he thought about the large amount of high-interest loans he still owed.

Could this guy be here to collect a debt?

But now all my money is invested, and I have no money left to pay off my debts...

"Are you Mr. Yoshikazu Watanuki?"

Tequila, on the other hand, had the air of a nice guy and smiled at Mikan Yoshiichi.

Yoshikazu Miyakuchi nodded somewhat stiffly.

"Yes, it is."

"I am Watanuki Yoshiichi."

"Ah, that's fine."

Tequila nodded and said to Yoshikazu Watanuki,

"Well then, there are some things I'd like to ask you about."

"If it's convenient, shall we go inside and talk privately?"

"Okay, okay."

Miyakushi nodded with difficulty.

It's over, it's over.

This guy really looks like he's here to collect a debt.

Fortunately, he saved some face for himself and didn't embarrass himself in public.

Otherwise, the residents in this area would probably all know that Yoshikazu Watanuki has gone bankrupt...

And so, as soon as Mien Guanyi opened the gate to the courtyard, he was about to lead Tequila into the house.

"Uncle Long!"

At this moment, Ayumi couldn't help but shout at the tequila,

"Could Mr. Myako help us get the soccer ball?"

"Ok?"

Tequila listened to Ayumi's words and then looked at Yoshiichi Watanuki.

"Did these kids' soccer balls fall into your yard?"

"Yes, yes,"

Mian Guanyi's face looked even more constipated.

Damn it, how come this debt collector knows those little brats?

Oh no, oh no, oh no! He just spoke rudely to those kids. Is he going to start demanding repayment?

With my old bones and limbs, I really can't beat him...

"Oh, then could you please help me get the soccer balls out for the children?"

Tequila was still very polite at this point.

Mian Guanyi nodded repeatedly.

Let's see if we can leave a good impression and try to get this fierce-looking guy to give us a few more days.

As long as the money I invested comes out, I'll be able to pay off these high-interest loans...

A short while later, Yoshikazu Mikan came out with a soccer ball.

At this moment, his previously impatient demeanor vanished, replaced by a kind smile.

"Kids, here's your soccer ball."

"You'd better be careful when you play football from now on."

"Hi--"

Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko all echoed each other.

After dealing with the children's affairs, Tequila and Yoshikazu Miyakuchi went into the villa one after the other.

Outside the door, the boy with the soccer ball, Dan, and Ayumi started their activities again.

They invited Conan and Ai Haibara to come and play.

However, Conan politely declined, saying he was a little tired and wanted to rest.

At the same time, Conan also gave Ai Haibara a wink.

Ai Haibara understood immediately and said that she was tired and needed to rest.

So the three little ones carried the soccer ball themselves and were still having a great time.

Conan and Ai Haibara were sitting on a large rock nearby, next to a large cosmos flower.

A gentle breeze and warm sunshine; young men and women sit facing each other, surrounded by flowers and plants...

The peaceful scene left Ai Haibara in a daze for a moment.

She became even more determined in her heart—

Only by leaving that place can I live such a life!

She also wants to be a real elementary school student!

"Tell me, what do you think of Uncle Long Si?"

Conan, feigning nonchalance, kicked at the grass as he spoke to Ai Haibara.

Ai Haibara casually fiddled with the large cosmos flower beside her and spoke up.

"It's fine, what's wrong?"

"Haibara, you know that's not what I meant,"

A white light flashed in Conan's eyes, and he changed his angle.

"Uncle Long Si, I can confirm that they are from that organization."

"What I want to ask you is, when you were in the organization before, did you ever hear about him?"

"Uncle Long Si?"

A flicker of panic crossed Ai Haibara's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and shook her head, forcing herself to remain calm.

"No, when I was in that organization, I was always in the pharmaceutical factory and I basically didn't deal with anyone."

The information Gin gave her did not include any information about the organization's members.

Her knowledge of that organization was limited to Gin alone, so how could she possibly know about tequila?

"That's it..."

Conan had a vague idea in his mind and stopped worrying about it.

He then changed the subject and began to talk about what happened at the Beika Hotel.

"Haibara, do you know that it was Uncle Ryuji who saved us at the Beika Hotel?"

"Ok?"

Ai Haibara stopped playing with the large cosmos flower and looked up at Conan.

"is it?"

"Um,"

Conan looked somewhat conflicted.

"He even...killed Aquavit to save us."

Ai Haibara's pupils widened slightly.

Aquavit was killed?

The reason was simply because Uncle Long Si wanted to save them?

Ai Haibara's heart was suddenly touched.

She was quite young and couldn't possibly imagine too many possibilities; she was simply quite moved...

Conan stopped dwelling on the topic and started talking about the trip to Izu.

"So, Haibara, have you heard of Chianti, Sherry, Korn, and the others?"

Ai Haibara shook her head again.

"I've met Uncle Cohen before."

“I don’t know Chianti and Sherry.”

“I already told you, I worked in a pharmaceutical factory and had no contact with anyone else in the organization…”

"okay, I get it."

Conan interrupted her.

He already had some answers in his heart.

Ai Haibara was not angry about this.

Her expression was calm, even with a hint of relief.
