Chapter 647 Tequila: Brother Mori, are you running away?!
the other side
Beika Detective Agency
Tequila has come here today at Kogoro Mouri's invitation to hold today's Mahjong King Tournament.................
"What?"
As soon as Tequila arrived, he saw Kogoro Mouri hand him two million yen, and for a moment his face was completely dumbfounded.
"Brother Mori, what's going on...?"
"Hey, Brother Long,"
With a smile on his face, Kogoro Mouri presented the two million yen check along with the black invitation.
"This is what you deserve."
"I....................."
Tequila still didn't get it, mumbled a few words, unsure of what to say.
Finally, he managed to utter a sentence.
"What have you done wrong?"
"what?"
This time, it was Kogoro Mouri's turn to be dumbfounded.
What could he possibly have done? That two million yen was just the advance payment for that invitation we agreed on...
Seeing that Kogoro Mouri did not answer, Tequila became even more certain of her idea.
He earnestly advised Kogoro Mouri,
"Brother Mori, have you really done something wrong?"
"Or have you offended someone?"
As he spoke, he returned the two million yen check, his face resolute.
"Don't worry, given our relationship, I absolutely cannot accept this money!"
"If you get into trouble or offend someone, just tell me, brother, I'll help you figure something out..."
"I'm so pissed off..."
Kogoro Mouri was speechless at Tequila's righteous words.
Just as he was about to explain, Detective Long, who had overheard their conversation, interrupted.
"Yes, yes, Mori, my brother."
"If you've really gotten into trouble with someone, tell us if you don't mind, maybe we can mediate."
"After all, our work inevitably involves some disputes like this, but it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester..."
Detective Long was clearly convinced of the tequila's claim.
After all, detectives are a profession that makes it easy for them to offend people.
If you accidentally learn some bad secrets, there's a real possibility that you could be silenced.
At this point, the detective's network of contacts comes into play.
Only by making clients hesitant to act can the detective's safety be protected.
Therefore, detectives often help each other out; you use my network, I use yours, and everyone benefits.
"Damn it, I really didn't offend anyone!"
Kogoro Mouri scratched his head and looked completely frustrated.
The two dragons were clearly skeptical, so Kogoro Mori quickly explained.
"This is an invitation letter sent to Brother Long, and it includes a check for two million yen..."
"It's absolutely not because I offended anyone and wanted to run away, so I asked Brother Long to take care of Xiao Lan's care fees!"
"Ha ha ha ha........................."
Hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Tequila scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
He really did follow this line of thinking before.
It almost drove him to consider smuggling Ran to America after Kogoro Mouri's death, so she could keep his daughter company.
Well, as for why they didn't intend to help Kogoro Mouri?
That's because those two million yen are probably only enough for the boat ticket to smuggle Ran across the border, and Tequila doesn't want to take any more risks...
"Hmm, let me take a look,"
Tequila quickly took the invitation and two million yen check from Kogoro Mouri, then swiftly pocketed the check and opened the invitation to read it.
"You've invited me to dinner at the Twilight Villa..."
Looking at them, completely bewildered, he asked Kogoro Mouri and Detective Ryu a question.
What kind of place is this Twilight Villa?
"Um, it's supposedly in an old-fashioned villa in Gunma Prefecture,"
Detective Long recalled for a moment and then spoke.
"It seems to have been around for many years..."
"Heh, hehe..."
Agave chuckled dryly, speechless.
Of course he knew this was in Gunma Prefecture; it was written there. Detective Ryu was really unreliable.
Tequila then turned to look at Kogoro Mouri.
Kogoro Mouri simply shrugged.
I don't know, I don't understand, it's none of my business...
"All right,"
Tequila sighed, then pointed to the strange signature above and asked again,
"Then what is this phantom of God's abandoned son?"
The two shook their heads, even more confused.
The agave was amused by the situation.
Damn it, these two detectives who play cards with me all day long, what kind of lung fog do they have? They know nothing about anything...
"If we don't know anything, then this place looks a bit eerie..."
Tequila pinched her chin, pondering to herself.
Kogoro Mouri didn't think that far ahead.
"So, Brother Long, are you going or not?"
"Hmm.............."
Agave pondered for a moment.
"I need to think about it..."
"Okay, then think about it."
Kogoro Mouri didn't try to stop him, and just kept talking to himself.
"However, I do plan to go, after all, they gave me two million yen."
"This appearance fee is quite generous, comparable to many wealthy individuals. It would be a bit embarrassing not to go..."
"What?"
Tequila looked surprised as she listened to Kogoro Mouri's words.
"Are you going too?"
"Yes,"
Kogoro Mouri smiled.
"I also received this invitation."
"Speaking of which, I received it a few days earlier than you."
"Besides, your invitation was sent to me, so the person who invited you probably didn't know your exact address..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk,"
The tequila smacked its lips.
"We both received invitations. That client is quite interesting."
"Could he be planning to throw a gathering of famous detectives...?"
"Depend on!"
Nearby, Detective Dragon, listening to Tequila and Kogoro Mouri chatting animatedly, couldn't help but feel a little indignant.
"Why did you all receive invitations, but I didn't!"
"Even though I'm the top detective in Beika Detective Agency..."
"Hahaha, that goes without saying,"
The tequila grinned.
"You're not qualified..."
"I'm so stupid... I'll f*** myself..."
