Mr. Mori? Or is he a famous detective?

The four members of the organization who were passing by overheard the conversation in the living room and subconsciously stopped in their tracks.

Tequila subconsciously glanced sideways at the group of people discussing things in the living room.

It was this one glance that caught the attention of the middle-aged man in the living room, who was looking distressed...

"Sir, please wait!"

The middle-aged man stood up quickly, shouting his words even before he could actually move.

The four members of the organization stopped completely in their tracks. Tequila was slightly taken aback, and, not knowing where this feeling came from, pointed to himself in confusion.

"Are you calling me?"

"Correct!"

The middle-aged man nodded heavily, his face showing a mixture of excitement and agitation, and the words in his heart came out without his lips.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Long Si, the legendary detective of China?"

"Forehead........"

Agave's face went blank.

The three people next to Gin also froze.

Gin snorted inwardly and turned his head away.

That Tequila guy is a disgrace to the organization, always causing trouble and earning a terrible reputation...

Lin Jiayou and Shirley's lips twitched. Had the name "Tequila" spread this far already? Even people in Hokkaido knew about it...?

"The Long Si you're talking about... that should be me,"

Tequila spoke with some hesitation.

"But I'm not too familiar with that so-called 'Chinese Detective'..."

"Oh, that must be you!"

The middle-aged man clapped his hands, his face beaming with joy.

"The Chinese Detective" is a nickname given to you by many mystery enthusiasts. After all, among the famous detectives in this circle, you are the only one who is Chinese.

"Actually, it's a name given to you based on your characteristics."

"Similar nicknames include Kudo from Kanto, Hattori from Kansai, the Armchair Detective, the Gourmet Detective, the Prosecutor Detective, and so on..."

The middle-aged man seemed to be a mystery enthusiast, so when he talked about these things, it was as if he knew them inside and out, and he rattled off a string of details without hesitation...

His words were highly praised by Lin Jiayou.

It's well known that Japanese media outlets love giving people nicknames, and they're usually quite apt, like "Sleeping Kogoro" for Kogoro Mouri...

However, he felt that these nicknames were still somewhat lacking compared to 'The Destroyer of the Empire'...

Tequila nodded somewhat reluctantly, seemingly accepting the offer with a heavy heart.

The only thing he couldn't understand was that his most distinctive features weren't his muscular physique and fierce face.

Why not call it "The Fierce Detective"?

Why bother focusing on your fake Chinese identity...?

"Ahem, that's enough, that's enough,"

Seeing that the middle-aged man was going on and on, seemingly determined to dig up each of his solved cases and argue about it, Tequila quickly called for a halt.

"Thank you very much for your recognition."

"But, may I ask what's the matter that you called me over for?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot,"

The middle-aged man slapped his forehead, instantly realizing what he had come to do.

"That's right, Mr. Long."

"My surname is Bando, and I am the producer of a TV series on Himeru TV."

"We are planning a TV series about the struggles of three women. The script is almost ready, and we just need to finish it..."

The Bando producer went on and on for ages.

Tequila finally understood why he had called her over.

He probably just wanted to leverage his reputation in the field of mystery fiction, to put his name on the list, and then create a publicity stunt.

Of course, it wasn't done for free; I'd get paid afterwards...

"I see,"

Tequila nodded, smiled, and said...

"That's why you said before that it was a pity we couldn't invite Mori, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes,"

The Bando producer smiled and nodded, then asked,

"Do Mr. Ryu and Mr. Mori know each other?"

"Get to know each other,"

"Tequila said proudly,"

"My friend Mori and I are old buddies. We often play mahjong together as a group, and we also go out to..."

"cough!"

Gin couldn't take it anymore and coughed loudly.

Agave immediately shut up.

I almost revealed something that's not convenient to disclose...

"Well, in short, I'm quite familiar with Brother Mori."

Agave concluded by giving a summary.

The Bando producers were overjoyed.

"Oh, that's wonderful!"

"Mr. Long, please join our production team. We will offer you a reasonable salary..."

Next, the producer from Bando and Tequila talked for a while about collaborating.

Upon hearing that he could make money while lying down, Tequila was naturally delighted and readily agreed.

"Humph!"

Gin snorted again.

"You can talk to him yourself, we're leaving now."

After saying that, he walked towards the room without looking back.

Tequila nodded repeatedly and then discussed the collaboration with Producer Bando.

Seeing that there was nothing for them to do, Lin Jiayou and Miyano Shiho naturally walked towards the room together.

It's still early, so let's drop off our luggage sooner. We can enjoy the snow scenery during the day and have a healthy couples activity...

"Come, come, Mr. Long, let me introduce you,"

The Bando producer took Tequila's hand and introduced him to everyone on the living room sofa.

"This is our screenwriter, the renowned novelist Eri Akechi; and next to her is her publishing editor, Yoriko Yasuda."

"These three are our main actors this time, and also Professor Akechi's university classmates: the famous model Ms. Shibasaki Asuka, the famous painter Ms. Anzai Ema, and the popular singer Ms. Fukatsu Harumi..."
