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

Splash—splash—

Lin Jiayou and the other three thoroughly shuffled and rearranged the scattered mahjong tiles on the table, and then began to skillfully arrange the tiles.

Before the card game even started, everyone was already engaged in a fierce verbal battle...

Tequila expertly lit a cigarette, glanced at Cohen across from him, and chuckled.

"Cohen, you're quite the player, aren't you?"

"I've read some of it in books before..."

Cohen smiled shyly.

Vodka also began his fervent praise of tequila.

"Oh dear, we definitely don't know how to play like Tequila!"

"Who doesn't know that our Master Long is the old gambling king..."

"No, no,"

Tequila quickly waved her hand, very modestly.

"Vodka, you were born with a computer science background. With that computing power, what kind of card game could you possibly play? It would be a piece of cake!"

"And Cherry, the genius strategist, must be quite proficient in this..."

"Understood."

Lin Jiayou's words were concise and to the point, fully demonstrating the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

Although everyone was very humble in their words, sparks had already been flying between them in their eyes.

Even the usually well-behaved and adorable Cohen had a glint of electricity in his eyes...

Splash—splash—

As the game of mahjong went on round after round, the four players were locked in a fierce and evenly matched contest.

At first, everyone was chatting and laughing, as if mahjong was just a tool for entertainment.

Tequila also kept boasting,

"See? Manual mahjong tables are still the best!"

"The feeling of shuffling mahjong tiles by hand is the greatest joy of playing mahjong..."

"Come on!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately met with a retort from Vodka.

He rolled his eyes and said speechlessly,

"My hands are so tired from playing mahjong, I think we should get an automatic mahjong machine right away!"

"Bullshit! You don't understand the essence of playing mahjong at all..."

Tequila began to elaborate on his views on mahjong.

The group chatted casually, and the atmosphere was fairly pleasant...

However, as the battle intensified, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually faded, and the atmosphere in the air slowly became heavy...

Everyone was on high alert, even Cohen seemed to be in combat mode as if he were on a mission...

Cohen picked up a card, looked at the vodka on his right, his gaze deep.

"I'd heard that Vodka had an exceptional memory, and now, when we're playing cards, he remembers exactly who played which card. He's truly amazing!"

After careful consideration, Cohen slowly put down the card he had been holding for a long time and casually played another card.

Vodka felt Cohen's gaze and, observing the cards, a chill ran down his spine.

'Tequila is a seasoned gambler, a veteran of countless battles. His card counting and memorization are ingrained in his muscles; he's not someone to be trifled with...'

Thinking it over, his brain instantly calculated the most reasonable way to play his cards, and he quickly threw out the diamond in his hand.

Tequila glanced at the card that Vodka had played, and almost instantly completed the process of drawing the card and about to play it.

However, at the last moment, he paused cautiously and glanced at Lin Jiayou beside him.

'Vodka and Cohen are alright, there are clues to follow, but Cherry has always kept a low profile, and his strength is generally considered unfathomable. Following the most conventional approach might not be a good idea...'

Thinking this, he slammed down the cards in his hand and flicked another card out with his ring finger.

Lin Jiayou looked at the hand that Tequila had played and couldn't help but admire it silently.

'Tequila was indeed clever; he dodged the trap I had prepared according to his usual methods, relying solely on instinct.'

Lin Jiayou narrowed his indifferent eyes, gripping the cards tightly in his hand.

'Although Cohen plays cards relatively slowly, he excels at deep thinking, and unconventional tactics are unlikely to fool him...'

After some thought, Lin Chia-yu ultimately chose a safer card.

Just as he was about to change his cards and play them, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder, and heard an excited voice from beside him.

Hey! What are you doing?!

boom--

Lin Jiayou was startled by the question and suddenly threw the card he was about to take back.

wow-

The moment the cards hit the ground, Cohen shoved down the remaining half of his hand.

He didn't speak, but simply tilted his head slightly, seemingly admiring the fruits of his hard work and struggle...

Lin Jiayou couldn't wait to check Cohen's hand.

Although he knew that Cohen had thought things through carefully and had considered it for a long time, he still wanted to verify it.

When Lin Jiayou finally looked closely, everything went black.

One color, four in harmony, one color...

Lin Jiayou, who was always obsessed with money, was momentarily too afraid to calculate the score of this hand...

"Wow, that's impressive, Cohen!"

Tequila craned its neck, staring at the cards on the table, clicking its tongue in amazement.

"This time, we've recouped all our losses, with interest!"

"It's awesome!"

Vodka couldn't help but praise it loudly.

"Cohen has been so quiet for so long, I never expected he was holding back something big!"

"No, no, just lucky...!"

Cohen was overwhelmed by their praise and quickly scratched his head, saying modestly.

puff--

Lin Jiayou couldn't take it anymore after hearing what the three of them said, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He turned around angrily, wanting to see which birthright had made him sell his underwear...

Turning around, I saw Shiho Miyano standing behind me.

Lin Jiayou's momentum immediately weakened by half...

"Hey, are you guys playing mahjong?"

It was only then that Shirley realized what Lin Jiayou was doing, and asked curiously,

"Is mahjong fun? I've never played it before..."

"It's so much fun!"

Tequila laughed heartily, looking at Lin Jiayou with amusement.

"I just don't know if Cherry will find it fun or not..."

"Okay, this is fun."

Lin Jiayou gritted his teeth inwardly, but outwardly he could only force himself to endure it.

What else can be said? You can't hit him, you can't scold him, just pay him some money and learn a lesson...

From now on, I must take Shirley away from me when we play cards...

"This looks like so much fun!"

Shiho Miyano blinked, eager to try.

"How about I come up and have some fun too?"
