Chapter 740 Tequila: Look, it's her who won half a month's living expenses from your Uncle
"Hey, Curaçao, thanks a lot,"
After Tequila finished scolding Genta, Brick smiled at Curaçao and said...
"Luckily you're here, otherwise this kid would be in trouble..."
"where,"
Curaçao offered a few words of modesty, and smiled at the tequila as well.
“I saw it too.”
"Given your strength and the distance at the time, even without me, this chubby kid would have been fine..."
"Hahaha, not at all, not at all......................"
Tequila laughed heartily, which could be interpreted as acknowledging Curaçao's statement.
Everyone flatters each other, and it's a great way to build relationships...
"By the way,"
Tequila seemed to remember something and looked at Curaçao with some curiosity.
What are you doing here today?
"Um, I just kept wandering around and ended up here..."
Curaçao was somewhat confused by what Agave was saying.
Agave's lips twitched.
Your answer is worse than no answer at all...
Wasn't he implying, "Why don't you have any tasks today? Are you just strolling around like an old man nearing retirement?"
"On the other hand,"
Curaçao then turned around and asked the tequila a question.
"Why are you here?"
"I didn't know before that you actually liked going out to play with kids like Gai Nie..."
"Ha ha ha ha,"
Tequila laughed heartily.
"That's a long story."
Anyway,
He pointed at Yuan Tai.
"I feel quite connected with these children."
"After a while, we became familiar with each other."
"Since I couldn't find anyone to play with today, I decided to come out and keep the kids company..."
"Can't find anyone?"
Upon hearing this, Curaçao frowned slightly.
"Am I not?"
"You should have asked me today if I could still play mahjong with you guys..."
"Hahaha...................."
Agave chuckled dryly twice.
A hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
Hey sis, don't you know why we don't want to invite you to play mahjong?
With your skill level of playing mahjong so high, you've practically won every game you've played. Who would dare play mahjong with you?
Especially since you gambled away half a month's living expenses for that guy Mori last time, he's really traumatized by you now. This time he specifically told me not to call you by name...
"Genta! Genta!"
"Genta, are you alright...?"
"........................"
Not far away, Professor Agasa also ran down with several children.
The children took the lead and quickly overtook Professor Agasa, the elderly player, and ran over to Genta, calling out to him with concern...
"No, it's nothing..."
Genta responded with lingering fear.
After Professor Agasa arrived, he gave Genta another scolding.
Make it clear to him that this kind of thing must never happen again.
This time he was saved with the help of this young lady, but what about next time...?
Meanwhile, Professor Agasa, just like Tequila, decided to call Genta's parents and tell them to cut off the boy's food supply, forcing him to lose weight...
"Big sister, thank you for saving Genta..."
The children expressed their gratitude to Curaçao.
A satisfied smile appeared on Curaçao's face, and she nodded slightly.
"It's a small problem, just a matter of lending a hand..."
"Big sister,"
Conan glanced at Curaçao and Tequila, and asked with some curiosity,
Do you know Uncle Long?
"You two seemed to have been chatting the whole time..."
"Oh, this..."
Upon hearing this, Curaçao gave the tequila a meaningful look.
Upon seeing this, Agave laughed heartily.
"Yes, we know each other. Of course we know each other."
"We've run into each other quite a few times when I've been on business trips before, so we're pretty much old friends..."
"She just arrived in Tokyo a couple of days ago and is still sightseeing..."
As he spoke, Tequila glanced at Curaçao with a half-smile.
Curaçao rolled her eyes at him, speechless.
My mom's been traveling and enjoying herself, and it's all because of you guys leading her astray...
What's going on with Rum? Why isn't he giving himself any missions all day long...?
When you come to Tokyo, you can't just focus on sightseeing, right?
"Oh, right, Conan,"
A mischievous grin spread across Tequila's face as he looked at Conan and then pointed at Curaçao.
"Your Uncle Mori lost a lot of money playing mahjong with her a couple of days ago."
"You should know this, right...?"
"I know, I know......................."
Conan's lips twitched.
Oh, it was her...................
Of course he knows about this.
The day before yesterday, Uncle Mori lost a lot of money and almost got knocked out by Ran when he got back. He really remembers that incident vividly...
In his memory, Uncle Mori had never lost by this much before........................
Oh, by the way, I heard that uncle is going to play mahjong again today. I wonder if Xiaolan will get so angry when she finds out that she'll beat him so badly he can't take care of himself anymore...
"Oh--"
Seeing how familiar Tequila and Curaçao were, the children all had knowing looks on their faces.
Dr. Agasa didn't think much of it.
Conan, having snapped out of his reverie about Uncle Mori losing a large sum of money, suddenly found himself intrigued by Curaçao...
Previously, I thought she was perfectly normal and that she and Uncle Long and the others were not the same kind of people.
But now, according to what Uncle Long said, wouldn't Curaçao also be....................
The other party suddenly arrived in Tokyo. Although they seem to be taking no action now, it's impossible that they did so without a purpose.
Could it be..........
Is Uncle Long's intelligence agency about to make a move?
Was it because Amuro Tooru and his group went too far, or was it for some other reason...?
Is Uncle Long's intelligence agency affiliated with the Japanese government or another country?
Conan considered it for a moment, but didn't think about it for too long...
Overthinking is pointless; we must rely on facts.
but..............................
This new Curaçao sister seems to be different from the others he has met before.
Uncle Long's other companions were mostly aloof and didn't like playing with the children, so it was very difficult for him to gather information.
But this one was different. She accepted their invitation after a chance encounter today, and even saved Genta. She was a very kind and approachable older sister….......................
Overall, having an older sister who loves children is actually quite beneficial for Shinichi Kudo...
.............................................................
the other side
Let's go back to the afternoon.
After leaving their home, Lin Jiayou and Miyano Shiho went to a seemingly upscale restaurant for lunch before heading to a department store for their daily necessities shopping spree.
Well, the reason I describe it as a seemingly upscale restaurant is...
The main reason is that both Lin Jiayou and Shirley felt that although the restaurant seemed to have a beautiful environment, it was actually just pretentious and affected.
Throughout the journey, Shirley kept complaining to Lin Jiayou.
"A self-employed individual is a self-employed individual; why talk about a manager.............................."
"The ingredients and dishes are just so-so, yet they're made to look so high-end. Who are they trying to fool?"
"Um,"
Lin Jiayou nodded in agreement.
He also casually pulled out some restaurants owned by the organization and made a comparison.
"How about organizing and opening a small restaurant..."
"Let alone the small restaurants run by the organization,"
Sulli continued to complain.
"I feel it's not as good as what you make..."
“......................”
Lin Chia-yu was speechless about this.
Should he feel honored, or saddened that his hard work was being compared to something like this...?
"What a huge loss!"
Sherry felt a pang of heartache.
"That meal actually cost us over 20,000 yen!"
"More than 20,000 yen!"
"Waaaaah, I'd rather feed it to the dogs..."
If it were the old Sulli, she wouldn't have cared about money at all.
She wouldn't care if it were more than 20,000 yen, or even two more zeros.
But things are different now......................
You don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you're in charge of the household.
Living together is definitely much harder than living alone, for both of you.
"OK OK,"
Lin Jiayou quickly tried to comfort him.
"Let's not talk about that shop anymore. Next time, we'll have someone check the owner's credentials..."
"Alright..."
Seeing this, Shirley stopped talking about it.
The two continued browsing in the department store and bought a few things on the go..................
Well, it's mostly Ms. Shiho who does the buying; Lin Jiayou is just in charge of watching the cash registers and carrying the bags...
Cherry, can you tell me what you think of this dress?......................
Great, I'll take this dress, Cherry, come over and swipe your card...
Here, grab your bag, let's go...
