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

"Hahaha........."

Tequila couldn't help but let out an awkward laugh as she listened to Gin's pointed remark.

"Gin, you guessed perfectly..."

"Did the TV station report it?"

Lin Jiayou casually stubbed out his cigarette and spoke calmly.

Gin snorted coldly and said nothing.

However, his expression could be considered a response to Lin Jiayou's words.

"Hahaha,"

Tequila clearly understood, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I knew it! Gin, how did you know? Turns out it was reported by Nichiri TV!"

"Great news! We're on TV again!"

"If I'm on TV, then I'm not far from going to the Metropolitan Police Department to receive an award."

"Perfect timing! Seeing you all constantly winning awards, I've been complaining that I don't have enough medals and I'm losing my edge..."

Gin: I f***ing.....

He was really struggling to resist the urge to flip the table, push the tequila to the ground, and go on a rampage.

You are a noble organizational elite, a formal employee of the organization, and a seasoned criminal.

How could one abandon their dignity and principles as a member of a criminal organization for such low-level pleasures as appearing on television and winning medals!

"Hey, Gin, why are you standing there like that?"

Tequila paused for a moment upon seeing Gin, then, without playing cards, quickly spoke up.

"Move a little! How can I move if you don't move...?"

"Humph!"

Gin glared fiercely at Tequila.

It's all because of you, you old rascal...

After thinking it over, Gin decided to prioritize the bigger picture and play his cards first.

They've already set off firecrackers twice in a row. We need to be more careful this time and not let them set off firecrackers again...

Thinking this through, Gin pondered for a long time before slowly revealing a card...

brush--

The moment Lin Jiayou saw his cards, he pushed his deck aside and casually declared his victory.

"What a fool."

"......"

Gin doesn't want to talk right now.

The silence lasted only a few seconds before everyone resumed their cheerful conversation...

The conversation started with Gin and Sonoko Suzuki's relationship issues, then moved on to Keisuke Hayashi's relationship problems, and finally to Kogoro Mouri's daughter's love life...

Finally, after Kogoro Mouri harshly criticized Shinichi Kudo as a beast, this topic of romance came to an end...

Of course, Lin Jiayou felt the main reason was that Tequila had been single for many years and had no romantic life.

This resulted in the old man always enjoying the spectacle of the three of them while remaining uninvolved himself. After several such incidents, everyone became extremely frustrated, so they decided to change the subject...

Due to the nature of our work, the conversation inevitably turned to the case.

Of course, this is just casual conversation during a break. They're not like Shinichi Kudo or Heiji Hattori, who are obsessed with deduction, so they don't need to discuss the details of the case.

Most of the discussion revolved around the bizarre and sensational aspects of the cases...

"Let me tell you, you have no idea how strange the case I solved a while ago was,"

Kogoro Mouri, as the detective who has handled the most cases, spoke first.

"That old woman who died was actually stabbed to death by a whole bunch of masks stacked together!"

"The place where she died was a secret room, and the way she died really made it seem like she was cursed to death by a masked curse..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's quite strange,"

Tequila smacked its lips and then spoke up to reveal some inside information.

"This is nothing; I've seen far more outrageous things..."

He went on and on.

Gin couldn't resist joining in at this point, and a flashback ensued.

"Back in the day, when I was in America, I did... oh no, I handled a case that no one has been able to solve to this day..."

"Humph!"

Lin Jiayou snorted casually, seemingly disdainful of their words, and spoke indifferently.

"Have you ever seen a piece of sandalwood pierced through someone's buttocks, causing them excruciating pain for days before they die?"

"........"

The group chattered on and on.

After playing for two or three more rounds, this heavy-handed topic was finally brought to an end.

"How's your little apprentice doing lately?"

Gin suddenly spoke up, asking Lin Jiayou a question.

Lin Jiayou was taken aback by the question, and calmly countered with a question of his own.

"how could I know?"

"is it?"

Gin raised an eyebrow.

"As the master, shouldn't you care about your apprentice's life?"

"I haven't seen her since that day."

Lin Jiayou spoke expressionlessly.

Gin narrowed his eyes, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"But I heard that your little apprentice is sending you messages all day long."

"I've noticed you two interact quite a bit..."

"Nonsense."

Lin Jiayou was somewhat stiffened by Gin's words, and forced himself to speak.

Tequila seemed to sense something unusual and immediately said with a wicked grin,

"Cherry, I understand you might be a little lonely without Shirley at home."

"But you must stay true to your duty, fulfill your responsibilities, and not let Shirley down..."

"..........roll!"

Lin Jiayou glanced coldly at the agave and uttered a single word.

Agave immediately shrank back, not daring to say another word.

Gin chuckled coldly to himself. Others may fear you, but I don't.

And so, Mr. Kurosawa continued speaking leisurely.

"Don't overthink it. As a master, it's normal for you to care about your apprentice's life."

"Also, you should check on other people's learning progress in a couple of days. Don't think about avoiding risks."

As long as we have a clear conscience, that's enough.

As Lin Jiayou listened to Gin's sarcastic words, his hand gripping the mahjong tiles tightened involuntarily, almost crushing them.

He snorted coldly.

"I understand. I'll check on her studies in a couple of days."

"You don't need to worry about the rest..."
