Chapter 653 Heading to the Twilight Villa......
On the way to Gunma Prefecture
"Hey,"
Lin Jiayou, sitting in the passenger seat, casually remarked to the tequila driving the car,
"Hey, you don't need to bring so much stuff, do you?"
"We're just going to a dinner party..."
Today, when he went to Jianggutian to pick up Tequila, as soon as the guy got in the car, he could feel the car noticeably sink.
Based on the weight of agave, Lin Jiayou made an accurate judgment—
This guy brought half of his small arsenal with him again...................
"whee,"
The tequila chuckled.
"This is just in case..."
"If nothing happens, all will be well; but if something does happen, we won't be completely helpless..."
"Whatever you want,"
Lin Jiayou said calmly,
"As long as you don't mind bringing too much stuff."
Those who are family know their own affairs, and Lin Chia-yu had a general understanding of this trip.
It's nothing more than a greedy detective and an old woman bound by her obsession; in this situation, it's completely unnecessary for him to bring any weapons or equipment...
Well, coming to that point, it seems like Shuichi Akai didn't really let him bring much stuff...
"Haha, don't worry,"
Tequila smiled.
"I definitely won't let you take it..."
He couldn't help but be careless.
After all, the invitation came with two million yen in advance!
This is a check for two million yen, and it looks like it's just an advance payment.
Tequila, who often hangs out with Kogoro Mouri and the guys at the Beika Detective Agency, knows exactly how much the check is worth.
This is an incredibly large order even in the detective world...
It's easy to imagine what a major case the client has invited him to solve this time...
Tequila is very clear about his own reasoning abilities.
So, in order to uphold his reputation as a master detective and handle the case well for his client, Tequila has no choice but to go all out and utilize his strengths...
Of course, Shuichi Akai also deserves some credit for this.
Ever since her chance encounter with Shuichi Akai on the bus, and how she couldn't be of much help in the ensuing battle because she hadn't brought enough firepower, Tequila had been feeling extremely guilty...
From then on, every time he went out, he carried at least two pistols and some ammunition...
Well, even if it's just to play mahjong...................

the other side
Amuro Tooru also set off with Mouri Kogoro.
As usual, Kogoro Mouri, along with his horned daughter, his big-headed elementary school student son-in-law, and his public security special agent apprentice, went to the car rental market and rented a car.
Having lived in Tokyo for nearly forty years, Kogoro Mouri is acutely aware that renting a car is far more cost-effective than buying one.
Amuro Tooru could easily get Kogoro Mouri a car, but that wouldn't fit the persona he'd established for the Mouri family: a poor kid who came to Tokyo alone and worked five jobs a day...
After Kogoro Mouri rented a car, the group of four began driving towards Gunma Prefecture.
Throughout the journey, Kogoro Mouri fully demonstrated his prowess as a heavy smoker—
He kept a cigarette in his hand the whole time he drove, one after another, filling the car with smoke....................
Ran, as Kogoro Mouri's daughter, has ridden in his car hundreds, if not thousands, of times over the years, and is long accustomed to the pervasive smell of his cigarettes...
Although Amuro Tooru doesn't smoke, he's been working in the organization and the Japanese Public Security Bureau for many years, and few of his colleagues don't use cigarettes, so he's gotten used to the smell...
Only Conan................
He felt like he was being smoked into a piece of cured pork fat like a primary school student...
Even though he's been living at the Mouri's house for so long, even though Kogoro Mouri smokes like this at home, even though Conan's own father smokes, but...
He still can't adapt!
Kogoro Mouri smokes at home, but at least there's enough space.
Although his own father, Yusaku Kudo, also smokes, he basically doesn't do it in front of Conan.
now..................
yue——
Conan gagged, feeling dizzy.
He felt that even though he was holding the new edition of the mystery novel he had been longing for, he couldn't concentrate on reading it at all...
Seeing this, Ran quickly patted Conan on the back.
She knew why Conan was acting this way, so she glared at Kogoro Mouri with annoyance.
"father!"
"Can you open the window?"
"Hey,"
Kogoro Mouri took a drag of his cigarette and then smiled.
"We're on the highway right now. Do you think it's safe to open the window at this speed?"
"Then you shouldn't smoke!"
Xiaolan retorted directly.
Kogoro Mouri shrugged helplessly.
"How can I drive if I don't have a couple of bites?"
"Is this a matter between the two of you?"
"Oh dear, not two bites, three bites would be fine..."
"I bet you've smoked three packs already!"
"................"
The two exchanged several sentences.
Feeling guilty, Kogoro Mori quickly finished his cigarette.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, alright?"
"We'll be at the gas station soon, let's go down and get some fresh air..."
As he spoke, he stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray next to the handbrake.
It's strange, really. Kogoro Mouri smokes in front of his daughter without a care in the world, yet he never thinks about throwing his cigarette butt on the street...
This is, to say the least, a peculiar quality...
