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

"Ah, well,"

Tequila blinked; he thought Cherry wouldn't notice...

"Hehe, I'll definitely treat you to a meal this time."

“Mr. Lin, you know that I, Long Si, am not the kind of petty person.”

That's true.

Lin Jiayou nodded silently.

At least Tequila was one of the few people in the organization who had ever treated him to a meal.

Although I was fed up at a karaoke bar once, there was another barbecue, which was a great experience.

Unlike that guy who's now blond and prematurely gray, who keeps saying "Cherry is good, Cherry is nice," but in the end, we never even saw him eat a meal...

and many more!

Lin Jiayou suddenly noticed a key point in the conversation.

Dragon Four...did Tequila just call itself Dragon Four?

Lin Jiayou almost choked on his cigarette.

Wait, buddy, are you really Chinese?!

"Tequila, are you really...Chinese?"

Lin Jiayou couldn't help but ask.

The tequila chuckled.

"It's a secret, I'll tell you later..."

"......Row."

Lin Jiayou remained silent for a while, then nodded.

Damn, I hope I don't run into any fellow villagers.

Are you, Tequila, really from the Dragon Group?!

I warned Tequila beforehand to avoid being blown up; wouldn't that count as a major service...?

Lin Jiayou's mind was filled with all sorts of wild thoughts.

Tequila, unaware of Lin Jiayou's wild ideas, glanced at the crowd still waiting for him and quickly said,

"Mr. Lin, what are your thoughts on this case? What should we do...?"

"No ideas,"

Lin Jiayou snapped out of his thoughts and said expressionlessly,

“I haven’t seen the scene, the evidence, or the testimony. What could I possibly think?”

"Oh, that's easy. We should be going to the site soon."

Tequila quickly said,

"So, are you going to come all this way, or...?"

"I'm not going."

Lin Chia-yu rejected the proposal without hesitation.

Just kidding, Conan might already be suspicious. If we go now, wouldn't that just ruin his identity...?

"Then I'll wear a recording device,"

Tequila immediately proposed a second plan.

"Keep an eye on things for me in real time. If you have any ideas, just say so, and I'll talk to them."

"can."

Lin Jiayou said calmly, not forgetting to remind Tequila of something.

"By the way, don't say I helped you, just say you came up with it yourself."

"This...this isn't right..."

"There's nothing wrong with it,"

Lin Jiayou said calmly,

"Since you're already a concerned citizen, you won't mind adding another title like detective."

"hiss--"

Tequila's eyes widened.

"That makes sense..."

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

In two more years, you might just abandon your evil ways and embrace the light...

Lin Jiayou thought to himself, "This is what I'm complaining about."

Tequila then pulled out a brooch-shaped hidden camera from his black overcoat, which contained an unknown amount of stuff.

"Can you see it?"

Tequila adjusted the camera position and asked the person on the other end of the phone.

Lin Jiayou's calm voice came through.

"can."

"Alright, I'm off!"

Tequila connected the phone to her headset and put the phone in her pocket.

He strode down the stairs and announced...

"I am back!"

"Everyone, let's begin!"

Sato Miwako nodded, signaling Takagi Wataru to help Higashida up, and they prepared to head to the scene.

The sharp-eyed Mitsuhiko pointed to Agave's chest and exclaimed in surprise,

"Hey, Uncle Long, why are you wearing a brooch?"

"Haha, this one,"

Tequila blinked and said with a smile,

"I think solving cases is a very righteous thing, so I decided to wear a brooch to add a sense of ceremony."

"Mr. Long, you're absolutely right!"

Sato Miwako's eyes welled up with tears; there aren't many people these days who can understand the police profession so well.

She took Tequila's hand again and said...

"Mr. Long, we are very sorry to take up your time to help us deal with these matters."

"Rest assured, if there are any new developments in the case, Takagi and I will do our utmost to plead with our superiors to commend you and award you a larger bonus!"

"If things go smoothly, we might even be able to get you interviewed by Nichiri TV!"

“Heh, heh…”

Tequila nodded stiffly.

This is bad; it seems like he's really headed for the newspapers...

He won't get shot by Gin because of this, will he...?

"Takagi, get the car, we're going to the scene!"

Sato Miwako waved her hand and said to Takagi Wataru.

Officer Takagi bowed and led Higashida towards the parking lot.

Conan, standing to the side, fell into deep thought once again.

He keenly noticed that Uncle Long seemed to be wearing an earpiece.

Conan—Got it!

Isn't this just one of his usual tricks?!

That brooch is the camera, and the headset is the intercom. This Uncle Long is just a messenger; the real case-solver is someone else!

Hehe, such petty tricks are nothing but showing off one's limited skills, not worth mentioning.

only........

Who is the other person who solved the case?

Is it Sherry, who called Ryuji last time? Or is it Gin, who hit Shinichi Kudo with a stick?

No, it shouldn't be Gin.

Gin looks like a coward who only knows how to ambush; all brawn and no brains, he probably has no ability to reason or solve cases...

While Conan was still lost in thought, Tequila had already picked up Ayumi, with Genta and Mitsuhiko following beside her, and they were walking downstairs.

"Conan, hurry up!"

Ayumi, nestled in the warm embrace of the agave, didn't forget to call out to her friends.

"Let's go together with Uncle Long's car."

"Uh...it's here, it's here!"

Conan quickly followed.

When the Junior Detectives saw Tequila's beloved pink beetle, they were all stunned.

Uncle Long is over two meters tall, so tall that they can't even see his head, yet he likes to drive this kind of car?

Thinking of Professor Agasa's waist, which even three people couldn't wrap their arms around, the children fell into deep thought.

Is it human nature to prefer complementarity?

Larger people tend to prefer smaller cars, while smaller people tend to prefer larger cars...

beep-

The pink beetle of agave has started up again.

The group arrived at the crime scene, which was also the apartment building where Dongtian lived.

A thrilling and suspenseful crime-solving operation... is about to begin!
