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

"The clue has gone astray, let's move to another location."

Tequila stared at the message on her phone, feeling utterly exasperated.

What? This clue really did get lost!

This shows that...

This isn't a clue, it's clearly an informant!

After reading the message, the next second, Lin Jiayou sent another message.

"The location is uncertain; I'll let you know when we arrive."

"...OK"

Agave replied, tapping the keys with difficulty using its thick fingers.

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

Soon after

Based on the latest location given to him by Lin Jiayou, Tequila successfully located Lin Jiayou's car.

He yanked open the car door and got into the passenger seat.

"Hey, good afternoon, Cherry,"

As soon as Tequila got in the car, she greeted Lin Jiayou.

He glanced at Lin Jiayou's appearance, slightly surprised.

"Oh, why are you wearing a disguise mask?"

"There are quite a few people outside who recognize me, so it will be easier to change my appearance."

Lin Jiayou said calmly.

This is not him bragging, but he made headlines again last time because of the roller coaster incident. Although so many days have passed, changing his appearance is indeed a safer bet.

Especially since he might have to face Conan later, and Conan definitely knows him, he can't just walk up to Conan and tell him that he, Lin Jiayou, is a member of the organization, can he?

It might be possible later, but not for now.

"Hey, by the way, where's the clue?"

Tequila looked around but couldn't see anyone particularly special.

Oh, that's not right either.

He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw three men in black acting suspiciously in a corner behind him; they didn't look like good people at all.

"Look, it's out."

Lin Jiayou pointed to the front of the car and said calmly.

Tequila looked in the direction Lin Jiayou pointed.

At that moment, four children were pushed out one by one by a man who appeared to be the clothing store manager.

The clothing store manager scolded them one by one, with the short, chubby guy getting the worst scolding.

"Hehe, did this chubby kid peek at customers changing clothes?"

Tequila grinned and guessed with great delight.

Lin Jiayou blinked.

Well... um, that's quite possible.

"and many more,"

Tequila finally realized what was happening, looking at Lin Jiayou with a bewildered expression, then at the four children in front of her.

"Cherry, are you saying that the clue here is these kids?"

"Um,"

Lin Jiayou nodded expressionlessly.

“Take a closer look. What is that little boy in the dark blue suit with the red bow tie holding in his hand?”

A little boy wearing a dark blue suit and a red bow tie...

Following Lin Jiayou's instructions, the agave plant was examined carefully.

"He has a piece of paper in his hand...?"

Tequila tried his best to use his eyes, which he had used for over forty years, and said hesitantly.

He suddenly realized something and looked at Lin Jiayou in surprise.

"Could what he's holding be the location where those gold coins were buried?!"

"Um,"

Lin Jiayou nodded calmly.

He patted Tequila on the shoulder and said calmly,

"Tequila, the organization is now giving you a mission."

"Go, snatch the treasure map from their hands."

"What?!"

When Tequila heard what Lin Jiayou said, she almost doubted her ears and stared wide-eyed.

He was Tequila, a man of imposing stature and fierce appearance, who had a history of murder, arms dealing, robbery, and extortion.

but......

Cough cough, he thinks he's a good person.

To be fair, he genuinely believes he is a good person.

so......

Agave, her face dark with displeasure, said...

"Cherry, why don't you do it?"

"I, Tequila, would never do something like stealing from elementary school students."

"What they have in their hands is quite extraordinary,"

Lin Jiayou said calmly,

"What they have in their hands is a treasure map containing at least six or seven hundred million gold coins."

"and,"

As Lin Jiayou spoke, he glanced at the rearview mirror and spotted the three suspicious-looking guys.

"Did you see those three guys?"

"They are very likely the three members of the Italian bandit gang. They have also set their sights on these children, but for some reason, they haven't made a move yet."

"However, once these children find the treasure, they won't just stand by and watch the gold coins be taken away."

"so,"

Lin Jiayou turned to look at the tequila, a serious expression appearing on his otherwise expressionless face.

"Tequila, you're not stealing from elementary school students, you're protecting them!"

"You are protecting them from bad guys, you are a hero!"

I am a hero...

Tequila was stunned. He blinked and pondered for a moment.

Finally, he came to a conclusion.

Hmm, Cherry has a point!

"it is good!"

Tequila slapped his thigh and said seriously,

"I was protecting children, I'm a hero!"

With that, he pulled open the car door and walked straight toward Conan and his three children.

He walked with a powerful stride, attracting the attention of passersby.

Meanwhile, the four Conan kids were still studying the treasure map by the roadside.

Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko all looked somewhat dejected.

They searched the entire clothing store, even looked into the beautiful women's dressing rooms, but still couldn't find the treasure.

Where exactly is the treasure?

Conan also stroked his chin, deep in thought. He seemed to have figured out something crucial, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

until......

"children."

A rough voice, mixed with a thick Kansai accent, came from above Conan and his four children.

They suddenly felt the sky darken and instinctively looked up.

Standing over two meters tall, with a burly build and a fierce-looking face, Tequila, dressed in a black trench coat, stood before the four of them. The deep furrows on his chin added to his menacing appearance.

It's no exaggeration to say that even dogs on the street would be afraid of tequila's appearance.

The boy, the detective, Dan, and Ayumi all instinctively took two steps back when they saw such a fierce-looking man suddenly appear in front of them. They trembled all over and couldn't say a word.

"Give me your treasure map."

Tequila, with a stern face and narrowed eyes, looked at the four dwarfs below and said in a deep voice.

He didn't want to get entangled with the children or resort to physical force, so verbal intimidation was the best solution.
