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

Gin looked at Lin Jiayou speechlessly............................

Cherry, can you please stop bringing up things that are hard to swallow?

"Hey, Gin, what's up now...?"

Tequila, curious, looked at Gin and, without any hesitation, asked directly...

He and Gin have been friends for so many years, it's not like you can just ask someone whatever you want.

Who knows.............................

"Humph--"

Gin simply snorted coldly and didn't reply.

He reached into his black overcoat, pulled out his phone, and glanced at the time.

Yes, Cherry is right, it's definitely time...

"That's all, I'm leaving..."

Gin simply uttered a sentence and left Beika Detective Agency............................

This left Kogoro Mouri and Tequila looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering what Gin was up to...

We've been playing cards for so long, we're all old friends. Even if Gin has been a bit cold in the past, he shouldn't just walk away like that without any polite words.

And so...........................

The two could only turn to Lin Jiayou for help...

It was Cherry who first mentioned that Gin was also involved...

This guy definitely knows something..............................

"What's wrong, Cherry..............................."

Tequila asked Lin Jiayou directly............................

Lin Jiayou glanced at him indifferently and spoke calmly.

"Don't you guys usually watch the news?................................."

"news?"

Kogoro Mouri and Tequila were slightly taken aback.............................

Speaking of news, actually...........................

Tequila really doesn't look at anything...

Every day, during his working hours, he would be thinking about how to kill someone...

Even during rest time, it's all about thinking about who to invite to play cards today, and who to invite to Kabukicho tomorrow...

There's no time to read that damn news.................................

As for Kogoro Mouri, he actually does know how to read.

Not only do they watch, but they watch a lot of things............................

There's nothing I can do about it; it's just the nature of my job...

His expertise as a private investigator lies in having a wealth of information and numerous connections...

It's worth noting that Kogoro Mouri was already quite famous before Conan took his place...

However, his reputation as a detective mostly circulated in high society—

To use the same example again, when Kogoro Mouri first appeared in the case of the little girl's kidnapping, he didn't have the reputation of being 'Sleeping Kogoro' at all...

The fact that they found him first, rather than other detectives, is enough to show that Kogoro Mouri still has some ability.

This strength is built upon a foundation of extensive knowledge and a keen memory...

So, you can see that when he's not playing cards or horse racing, he's basically at home, with a newspaper in his left hand and a bottle of beer in his right, reading and drinking at the same time...

but.............................

It's because I was playing cards today, so I wasn't paying much attention...

"So what exactly happened?"

Upon hearing that it was related to the news, Tequila immediately had a guess in mind and became even more eager to question Lin Jiayou.

Lin Jiayou cleared his throat and began to speak.

Simply put, it's...

"Gin is on the news, he's on his way to receive an award..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Agave was slightly taken aback.

"Because of that airship thing?"

"Um,"

Lin Jiayou nodded.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the tequila immediately revealed a gloating expression...

Before I saw you, Gin, you always talked about going to the Metropolitan Police Department to receive an award...

Now look what's happened, you're going too, and judging by the looks of it, it's going to be a big deal...

Even Cherry, who, like me, doesn't usually watch the news, knew about it. That's quite a stir!

"Are we going to the Metropolitan Police Department to receive the award...?"

Tequila asked another question.........................

Lin Jiayou nodded...................

As for where he was going, he didn't actually know at first. He only saw a news report mentioning a brave warrior named Kurosawa who saved the airship and was about to receive his medal of honor...

Later, he immediately called Sonoko Suzuki and asked her about it before he got the accurate information........................

"whee,"

Upon hearing that it was indeed going to the Metropolitan Police Department, Tequila couldn't help but chuckle.

"In that case, I'd like to go take a look too..."

As he spoke, he looked at Kogoro Mouri.

"Brother Mori, since Gin's gone anyway, Cherry'll be leaving soon too..."

"It's just the two of us left, we can't play anymore, why don't we leave and go join some fun...................................."

"Forget it,"

Kogoro Mouri looked somewhat embarrassed and waved his hand, repeatedly refusing.

"Brother Long, you can go ahead. I'll go home and buy some groceries first..."

"Since Xiaolan is back early today, let's eat early too....................................."

"Hmm, that works too..."

Although Tequila didn't know why Kogoro Mouri looked a little embarrassed, she didn't say anything more...

So, Tequila stood up, intending to leave with Lin Jiayou to witness Gin's embarrassing state...

However, he suddenly thought of something else.............................

"By the way, Mori-kun,"

Tequila looked at Kogoro Mouri with a puzzled expression.

"I remember you were on the airship too, weren't you?"

"Why is it that at today's awards ceremony, only Gin was mentioned, and not you...?"

"Um, haha, well, I have something to tell you, it's something like this, but it's not really a big deal............................."

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head, chuckled, and didn't reveal any useful information.

Lin Jiayou gave Tequila a look, and Tequila stopped worrying about it, simply taking it as Kogoro Mouri's indifference to fame and fortune...

Seeing Agave's carefree attitude, Lin Jiayou couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.......................

I don't know what's going on with the tequila, but doesn't Lin Jiayou know?

While on the airship, Jirokichi Suzuki offered everyone generous rewards...............................

Of everyone present, only Kogoro Mouri agreed; Gin, his disguised 'Kiyonaga Matsumoto,' and Tooru Amuro all refused...

The price, naturally, was that Kogoro Mouri received a large sum of money, but he received no recognition or awards whatsoever.

Of course, most people would much rather have that large sum of money than any awards or recognition...

Moreover, Kogoro Mouri is adept at self-preservation; it's hard to say he didn't choose to charge money because he anticipated the scandal would spread if he didn't.

After all, reputation can't put food on the table. He's already quite famous; if he gets any more, he'll attract unwanted attention, and who knows what kind of people might run into him...

Once you've taken the money and secured the benefits, you can throw away your reputation and such.

Since Gin didn't receive any money, Jirokichi Suzuki naturally chose to compensate him by making him famous.

Furthermore, given the relationship between Gin and Sonoko Suzuki, this publicity campaign was remarkably effective....................
