The young man with brown curly hair and a face that said "I'm handsome" attracted their attention.

"Brother Sakaki Makoto, let me introduce you."

The White Horse Superintendent stood up with a smile, held his son's shoulders, and said proudly:

"He is my only son, Bai Ma Tan. He has been studying in the UK and has just returned recently."

"Ah Tan, this is Brother Makoto Sakaki, call me uncle."

“Uncle…Ah?!!”

Just as Bai Ma Tan was about to continue what his father said, he discovered something was wrong:

"Mr. Sakaki Makoto is not much older than me!"

"Call me uncle?!"

"Of course."

The White Horse Police Chief looked at him in confusion:

"I call Mr. Sakaki Makoto 'brother' and he calls me 'brother'. He doesn't hold any position, so what else can you call him if not uncle?"

Japan has a very strict hierarchy. When strangers meet, they usually address each other as Mr./Ms., or by their job title.

If it is a familiar one, it is another matter, but...

Today is the first meeting between Makoto Sakaki and Hakuba Tan.

"Ah no...ah this...ah?"

His cheeks twitched, and Bai Ma Tan's good manners were ruined by the word "uncle".

After receiving the notice from Grandma Koda, he practiced in his room.

I planned exactly what to say and what facial expressions to make after meeting Sakaki Makoto, but...

Who could have thought that the first thing his father would say when they met was to ask him to call him uncle!

His heart was in turmoil and Bai Matan looked bewildered.

"What are you standing there for?"

The White Horse Police Chief's face fell:

"Is this what I usually teach you?"

"........Sakaki Makoto...Uncle..."

Taking a deep breath, Bai Ma Tan shouted reluctantly.

Sakaki Makoto scratched his head, not knowing whether he should respond.

He is 23 this year, White Horse Superintendent 56, White Horse Detective 17...

The word "uncle" made him look 20 years older.

Of course, the reason why Superintendent Bai Ma insisted that Detective Bai Ma call him uncle was not just out of politeness.

If Sakaki Makoto agrees...

Just admit that you are Bai Ma Tan's elder, elders should treat younger people with respect...

That brings with it some responsibility to support and teach.

in short.

Uncle, Bai Ma Tan is absolutely right to say this.

But Sakaki Makoto doesn't want to answer it!

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

but...

The burning gaze of the White Horse Superintendent made him feel embarrassed to refuse.

In that case...

"Calling you uncle is too old-fashioned. I don't feel comfortable hearing that."

Hearing this, Bai Ma Tan was relieved, but...

Sakaki Makoto also has the second half of the sentence:

"From now on I will call you Brother Bai Ma, and you call me uncle. We can talk about our own affairs."

Bai Ma father and son: “???”

I call you Dad, I call you Brother, I call you Brother, so...

Bai Ma Tan became his father's younger brother.

"Brother...ah no, father!"

Under the dangerous gaze of the White Horse Superintendent, the White Horse Detective quickly changed his words and asked with tears in his eyes:

"This is inappropriate..."

From a practical point of view, I have never heard of a White Horse Police Superintendent. Everyone has their own opinions on seniority...

But Makoto Sakaki's proposal does sound a bit reasonable (a twisted logic).

It not only alleviated his own responsibility, but also gave face to the White Horse Police Chief Inspector, but his method was not very decent and it was easy to be outdated.

"Never mind, let's just leave it at that."

The White Horse Police Chief decided not to dwell on this matter any more and changed the subject:

"Ah Tan, it happens that you are here today, let's talk about the future."

"future?"

Bai Ma raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What future?"

"You are already 17 years old..."

The White Horse Police Superintendent asked him to sit down and said earnestly:

"If you like solving crimes, you should study hard, take the professional team exam, and join the Metropolitan Police Department."

“This is the clear path.”

"With technology so advanced nowadays, detectives will become obsolete sooner or later."

Then, he turned to look at Sakaki Makoto and said:

"Brother Sakaki Makoto, please tell Tan about the disadvantages of being a detective."

"no problem."

Clearing his throat, Sakaki Makoto frowned:

"There's really not much good about being a private detective, except that you have more freedom, you charge higher fees, you can often take the opportunity to travel abroad, you don't have to work from 9 to 5 every day, and you can take a day off whenever you want."

White Horse Police Superintendent: "............"

I asked you to tell me the bad things, not the good things!!!

I'm a little moved by what you said...

"but!"

At this time, Sakaki Makoto changed the subject:

"To obtain the above benefits, one must be a very famous detective, and..."

"Brother Bai Ma is right. With the advancement of technology, private detectives are destined to be eliminated!"

"In the near future, private detectives will only be able to catch mistresses and steal trade secrets to make a little hard-earned money."

Well...

Even if it is going to be eliminated, it will be at least 20 years later.

By that time, he would have made enough money to travel around the world with Miss Miyano and enjoy life.

"Um."

Bai Ma Tan nodded in agreement:

"Sakaki Makoto-sama... Uncle is right."

“But I’m famous now!”

"There's no need to worry about money. Being a detective is just my personal hobby. I will go to university and join the Metropolitan Police Department in the future..."

The White Horse Police Chief was finally relieved.
