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

With a stern face and a deliberately fierce (though it seemed unnecessary) demeanor, he even exuded a hint of murderous intent, all in an attempt to scare the children into handing over the item obediently.

who knows......

"Wow--"

Ayumi fell to the ground with a thud and started crying in fear.

She was crying and shouting.

"Waaaaah... There are bad people, Mommy, Ayumi wants Mommy—waaaaah........"

Ayumi started it, and Mitsuhiko couldn't help but chime in.

His clenched teeth were his last act of defiance, and the tears in his eyes were a true reflection of his true self.

Genta lost his balance and fell to the ground, supporting himself with his hands, his whole body trembling.

Conan clenched his fists, silently shouting in his mind,

That's it! There's no mistake!

The aura this guy exudes is exactly the same as the guy I saw that day!

They must be in cahoots!

Damn it! Have these yakuza organizations become this rampant?!

Ayumi's crying startled Tequila.

Holy crap, am I that scary?

"Heh, heh heh,"

Forcing a smile, Tequila knelt down and put on what she thought was a very friendly smile.

"Hey little sister, there are two other children here. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

"Uncle, I'm not a bad person..."

"Woo——"

As Ayumi saw Tequila's fierce-looking face getting closer and closer, she cried even louder.

While wiping away her tears with one hand, she weakly pushed the agave away with her other hand, wanting him to stay away.

Tequila: I f***ing...

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

I should have just snatched it from them.

"Don't bully Ayumi! Come at me if you have a problem!"

Conan is here!

He was filled with a sense of justice and courage, and used his seven-year-old body to shield the girl.

Even though he had been poisoned by the men in black before, he would not back down this time!

......

Tequila looked at Conan, who was tiny and smaller than his arm, and felt even more helpless.

Kid, we don't need to do something like this from a TV drama.

He reached out, his enormous hand completely enveloping Conan's head.

Conan closed his eyes in despair.

Goodbye Mom and Dad, goodbye Xiaolan, goodbye Professor, goodbye this world...

"Conan——"

Ayumi let out a piercing scream...

Okay, Tequila couldn't stand it anymore.

Are kids these days so precocious? They're only six or seven years old!

He simply patted Conan's head gently with his hand, using the most affectionate tone he had ever used, but... well, scratch that, he really couldn't bring himself to be gentle.

Tequila tried to speak to Conan as calmly as possible.

"Child, your uncle means no harm. Your uncle just wants that piece of paper in your hand."

This piece of paper?

Conan opened his eyes, glanced at the agave that was right in front of him, and then at the treasure map he was holding in his hand.

He couldn't care less about anything else now; he simply handed the treasure map to Tequila, then closed his eyes again.

"Here you go, we don't want it!"

"Good, good, good, that's a good child,"

Tequila grinned and took the treasure map from Conan's hand.

He glanced at the restless Italian trio behind him, curled his lip in disdain, and turned to Conan to warn him.

"By the way, kids, you'd better go to the police station right away. There are a few guys there acting suspiciously, they're up to no good."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing what Tequila said, Conan couldn't help but open his eyes and glance at Tequila in surprise.

Tequila flashed what it thought was a kind (perhaps) smile.

"Okay, go ahead."

After saying that, Tequila turned and left.

Only Ayumi and her two companions, who had gradually stopped sobbing, and Conan, whose heart was filled with mixed feelings, remained.

'This guy... doesn't seem as fierce as he looks; maybe he's a good person...'

Conan watched the agave car disappear into the distance, thinking to himself.

Comparing the image of the tequila to the black-clad man who knocked him unconscious, Conan drew a conclusion in his mind.

Hmm, this seemingly fierce uncle probably isn't part of that organization.

He decided to listen to the advice of this "good man" uncle and took Ayumi and the other two to the police station as soon as possible.

This uncle isn't him, but the other three men in black are another story.

......

On the other side, in a Lexus.

Lin Jiayou watched as Tequila took action and did a series of things.

His face remained expressionless, but inside he was laughing his head off.

He's so funny, I can't help but laugh! How can tequila be so...cute!

Was he really a member of the organization for half his life?

You wouldn't go out and scare people with just your face and figure, would you?

"Click——"

Tequila opened the car door and got in.

The moment he sat down, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"call--"

Tequila tossed the treasure map to Lin Jiayou, shaking her head as if she had just escaped a disaster.

"This is so difficult, these kids are really..."

"You scared them to tears."

Lin Jiayou spoke calmly, as if he had no feelings at all.

Tequila rolled her eyes at him speechlessly and said irritably,

"You have the nerve to say that?"

"You could have done it yourself, but you insisted on making me go!"

"It was your problem to begin with,"

Lin Jiayou said calmly,

"Why don't you just snatch it?"

"Humph!"

Agave snorted coldly.

"I'm a good person, I don't steal things from children."

"So how did this treasure map eventually come about?"

Lin Jiayou pointed to the treasure map in his hand and glanced at the agave.

Tequila's face froze instantly; she moved her mouth several times but couldn't utter a single word.

Lin Jiayou decided to stop teasing him, put the treasure map away, and started the car.

"Let's go find some gold coins."

"How do I find it? I have absolutely no idea what to do with that picture."

Tequila instinctively pressed for an answer.

Lin Jiayou glanced at him, then looked straight ahead and said calmly,

"So that's why, after all these years, your status isn't as high as Gin's."

"Humph!"

Tequila was once again rendered speechless by Lin Chia-yu's remark.

It took him a long time to manage to utter a few words.

"I don't care, I want a share of these gold coins."

"OK,"

Lin Jiayou said casually,

"I'll let you off the hook because you've put so much effort into comforting the child."
