Yin Jiu had no idea of ​​the FBI's little plan, and went to the banquet with Maori Kogoro and others early the next morning.

"I didn't expect that you, Xiaojiu, also received an invitation." Mao Lilan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Yin Jiu was invited before them.

"That's for sure. Yin Jiu is the son of an earl." Suzuki Sonoko put her hand on Yin Jiu's shoulder. "Before, the news didn't get out. This time, Yin Jiu fainted at the memorial service, and it almost caused a major change in the top management of the Metropolitan Police Department. It's considered famous."

"It shouldn't be so serious that a blood transfusion is needed, right?" Yin Jiu was a little confused.

"Of course not. If it weren't for the live broadcast you posted when you were discharged from the hospital, Officer Murume would have almost committed suicide to apologize." Suzuki Sonoko was obviously more alert to gossip than the others. She described in vivid detail what happened after Yin Jiu fell into a coma.

"So if you have any problems, don't hide them. I can't take responsibility if anything happens..." Kogoro Mouri put his hands on the steering wheel and looked at Yin Jiu in the rearview mirror as if he was looking at some huge trouble.

"father!"

Mao Li Ran angrily interrupted Mao Li Kogoro's words, but she didn't expect Yin Jiu next to her to pat her on the shoulder.

"I will." Yin Jiu didn't think there was anything wrong with what Maori Kogoro said.

His body seemed very fragile to outsiders, and if his identity was taken into account, he could be said to be a very troublesome person.

In fact, Kogoro Maori had no obligation to pick up Yin Jiu. There were so many people on the bus anyway, and it would be easy to get away with saying that it was full or that there was some space for luggage.

However, the other party still chose to come and just told them the precautions in advance, which was considered to be the utmost kindness.

Yin Jiu is not the kind of person who doesn't know what is good for him. Some people are like this. They say bad things but actually do the right things in their actions.

Maori Kogoro's personality makes him vulnerable in the workplace. Yin Jiu saw this clearly and spoke with full sincerity, "I know my physical condition well. It is indeed a problem. Uncle Maori is just a little blunt in his words. I am actually very grateful for your willingness to come and pick me up."

"Is that so?" Mao Lilan looked at her old father in surprise.

Maori Kogoro has always been a soft-hearted person, so he never expected that Yin Jiu would expose his mistake. He immediately turned his head to the side unnaturally, muttering, "Boy, you will be easily bullied by bad guys in the future with such a naive character."

"But all the people I met are good people." Yin Jiu said confidently.

Conan: “…” Hehe.

Conan didn't agree with Yin Jiu's statement at all. Even someone like Amuro Toru who blatantly poisoned him could be classified by Yin Jiu as a good person.

Conan really couldn't think of anyone on Yin Jiu's side who could be called a bad guy.

Everyone in the car fell silent. Seeing that no one spoke anymore, Conan took the initiative to talk to Yin Jiu.

"Brother Yin Jiu, were you at home the whole time yesterday?"

"I guess so, but I went out for lunch and dinner." Yin Jiu didn't hide anything. Seeing Conan staring at him without blinking, the boy suddenly changed the subject, "But have you and Grace reconciled? What happened to her coming to me with injuries all over her body some time ago?"

"Huh? Ai is covered in wounds?" Mao Lilan immediately became worried. She still had some impression of Haibara Ai. She looked like a very quiet and well-behaved girl. How did she suddenly get injured? Conan had never told her about it.

"She just fell down by herself, and the wound on Huibara's body has long been healed." Conan saw that Mao Lilan's attention was on him, and his tone unconsciously became a little guilty, but he soon figured out the problem.

"We went camping together the day before yesterday. Didn't Huibara-san say she called you that night?"

Conan stared at Yin Jiu, trying to find some clues from her face, "Didn't she tell you that we were going camping together?"

"What is the date of your camping?" Yin Jiu naturally knew that Huiyuan Ai was calling Miyano Akemi's old address. He looked calm and pretended to be thinking seriously. "Sorry, I have been sleeping too long in the hospital recently, and my days and nights are reversed. I am a little confused about the time."

"But if you mean Grace contacted me, I did receive two missed calls while I was sleeping. However, since there was no signature, I thought they were harassing calls, so I didn't call them back. Could it be that they were calls from Grace?"

"Probably? Genta said he saw Huibara dialing a number in a phone booth." When Conan heard Yin Jiu's answer, he immediately guessed that the other party was not lying.

Haibara Ai called in the middle of the night, and Yin Jiu was most likely asleep. And because the number used was from a phone booth, it showed as an anonymous caller on Yin Jiu's end.

This all makes sense, but why would Huibara call Yin Jiu in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep?

Conan buried his doubts deep in his heart and did not ask any further questions. He felt that the problem still lay with Haibara.

Dr. Agasa's car arrived at the scene faster than Kogoro Mouri's.

"Grace, come here!" Yin Jiu grabbed Huihara Ai to his side with familiarity. The situation now is different from the past. The danger is very serious, and the wealth of the organization must stay close to him.

"Can you please not call me Grace?" Huihara Ai was held by Yin Jiu. Every time the other party called her by this name, Huihara Ai felt that Yin Jiu was calling another person through her. This name seemed to be specifically reminding her that all this love was stolen.

"Hmm? Then what do you want to be called?" Yin Jiu said in a gentle tone, like every British parent who dotes on his children. He gently scratched the tip of the other's nose with his index finger, "How about silly sausage? It suits you very well."

"No!" Haibara Ai's face turned red instantly.

Conan also turned around in shock and horror, "Huh?"

"What does this mean?" Only the real elementary school students didn't understand.

"It's a nickname commonly used in the UK, and people usually call their own children that way." Yin Jiu explained.

"What does it mean specifically?" Mitsuhiko's desire for knowledge was obviously stronger.

"About that, you guys ask her." Yin Jiu patted Huiyuan Ai on the shoulder. Seeing that she was beginning to get uneasy, he didn't tell her the truth, but instead changed the subject considerately. "It's a pity that Grace is a little older. If she was younger, she could still be called a little ankle biter."

"What does this mean?" Ayumi was also a little curious this time.

"It probably means naughty and clingy, but small, not even as high as the ankle." Yin Jiu just gestured slightly.

"so cute!"

Several people were immediately touched by their own imagination.

"Hey, that silly sausage actually suits you very well," Conan looked at Huihara Ai teasingly, "You look so sleepy every day, in a sense, it fits the bill."

“…” Huibara Ai rolled her eyes and turned her head away silently.

"So does Brother Yin Jiu have a nickname?" After hearing the two names, the children began to become interested in British nicknames.

Yin Jiu shook his head. "As for my mother, she is more used to speaking Chinese to me and usually just calls me by my full name."

"As for my English nickname, Chrissie Wynyard did give it to me."

"What's your name?" After listening to this, the temperature on Haibara Ai's face dropped slightly, and she looked up with interest.

"That name is too outrageous, so I don't really want to say it out loud." Yin Jiu smiled mysteriously at Huiyuan Ai, "But if you guess it, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Outrageous..." Conan put his fingers under his chin and started thinking.

On the other side, while Vermouth was away, Judy, who had just packed up a bunch of documents from the other party's house, was looking for clues bit by bit.

"No, this one isn't either..."

"You don't even have a gun?"

Judy spread out the "evidence" on the floor one by one, and started from the top to look through the photos that the other party had left in the room.

"Is this her next goal?"

Judy examined them one by one, looking for anyone who might be familiar.

"this is..."

Judy saw a photo of Yin Jiu filming in a theater, soaking wet, and a string of English words written in red font just below the photo.

"little shit"
