YOU CANT JUST SAY THAT ZENI
I am once again imagining how conversations go at Interpol.
Like some new recruit naively asks: "Where's Inspector Zenigata?"
"Oh, he's still out crawling around the street on his hands and knees with a magnifying glass searching for any part of Lupin's remains he can bury."
"I'm sorry, he's... what??"
OK OK hear me out: Lupin taking Pops to a fancy restaurant to buy him expensive food instead of cup noodles.
And at first Zeni objects because this is stolen money and he can't be seen profiting from crime, but then Lupin is hand-feeding him the best hors d'oeuvres he's ever tasted and plying him with wine in their private booth, and it's hard to stay focused on doing your moral duty with Lupin's fingers pressing into your mouth.
So, really, how is Zeni supposed to resist when Lupin wants to take him back to his hotel room for dessert?
