Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

"That guy James." Yin Jiu listened to the call from Vermouth, "He was watching me before. I don't know what he was suspicious of, but he should have rushed back half an hour ago."

Yin Jiu's peripheral vision was focused on Yuanshan and Ye who had been rescued, and they were a little further away from the crowd.

"Really? If we had known earlier, we should have intercepted him alone."

Gin's car had already started, and Vermouth sat in the back and lit a cigarette, "Maybe that old guy can give us different information."

"Who cares? The result will be the same if we get rid of him," Yin Jiu shook his head and chuckled, "Besides, we can't be so greedy. We've made a profit today."

"That's right." Vermouth was the happiest. "That Judy recently applied for a teaching position at Rice Flower High School. She pesters me every day. I'm just getting annoyed with her. This way I can have some quiet time for a long time."

"Yeah, maybe the only one left this time is the hard-to-beat Akai." Yin Jiu pondered. He didn't expect Akai Shuichi to die so easily. He was silent for a while, "Leave it to me later. Let me grind him down."

"Maybe Rye died just like that?" Vodka said suddenly.

"..." Gin and Vermouth both looked over.

"..."

Yin Jiu also paused for a moment on the other end of the phone.

"I just think that this killing move is hard for most people to predict," Vodka smiled innocently, "and given the situation at the time, there was no way the opponent could escape unless he had wings."

"I have a feeling that the other party is not dead," Yin Jiu murmured, "The factory where the fire broke out is originally a heavy industrial area, and the surrounding firefighting police force is actually quite good."

"There are only two of us, Bourbon and Kiel. Judging from the time, even if Akai chooses to wait for rescue on the spot, it may not be impossible for him to survive until the fire department arrives."

"And since you were able to bring Judy back to the headquarters, I'm afraid Akai Shuichi already had a way to escape by then."

"Humph."

Yin Jiu was able to figure it out immediately, and Gin and Vermouth had no objection.

Only Vodka felt a little regretful, "What a pity! If my brother and I had gone to search together, maybe we could have killed Rye."

“Not necessarily,” Vermouth exhaled a puff of smoke, “You weren’t actually in an advantageous position at that time.”

"The other team has Rye and Cameron. If you guys go down, that girl named Judy will go with you."

"So the FBI has three members, and on your side it's you, Gin, Bourbon, and Kiel who will deliberately hold back."

"In this way, we, who already have insufficient time, may lose out and leave traces behind."

"Yes." Yin Jiu agreed on the other end of the phone, "But it's different if you come to blow up the FBI headquarters. Vermouth has already cleared this place, and we can at least lure Judy here to be buried with her. Even if this guy is not dead, as long as no one continues to follow Vermouth, we will have a lot more manpower."

"So that's how it is." Vodka quickly sorted out his thoughts and looked at his elder brother and Vermouth with admiration.

My friends all react so quickly!

It’s really reassuring!

The little episode involving the crows kept Yin Jiu's mood high. When he hung up the phone and returned to the room, he saw Mao Li Ran and Yuan Shan Kazu Ye sitting behind the coffee table, chatting with the twin girls of the host family.

"Where are Conan and Hattori?" Yin Jiu looked around and didn't see anyone, so he asked subconsciously.

"They are probably looking for clues somewhere." Mao Lilan waved at Yin Jiu, and asked her junior to sit next to her and asked with concern, "By the way, Xiao Jiu, are you feeling better from your cold?"

"I feel much better after taking the medicine and sleeping for a while." Yin Jiu poured himself a small cup of hot water and sat down next to the others obediently.

"Then shall we start telling the story we just told?" The twin sisters saw Yin Jiu sitting down and blinked their big eyes, obviously they were still talking enthusiastically about the topic just now.

Without waiting for others to respond, the twins started talking about the tragic incident in which their cousin was killed by a spider monster.

"..."

"So that foreigner came to your house that year?" Yin Jiu remembered that when he waited for Hattori and his group, there was indeed a blond young man among the team.

I didn't pay attention to it at that time, but now that I heard that he was the real murderer who killed the young lady, I became interested.

"Well, Rob left a really mean note, and cousin Misa burst into tears after reading it."

"A note?" Mao Lilan was puzzled. What kind of words could drive a person to death?

"Yeah, it says 'go to hell'. That's too much!" The twins looked at each other with angry expressions. "Cousin Misa must have died because of this reason!"

"He's a murderer!"

"Yes, he is a murderer!"

The two girls looked at each other and affirmed each other.

Yin Jiu, however, pinched his chin with his fingers, as if thinking about something. "Shine? Were they communicating in Japanese at that time?"

"No, it's in Romanization." One of the twins tilted his head and provided a clue, "That older brother doesn't seem to be able to write Japanese. He used to ask the church sister to teach him Japanese."

"My cousin taught him, but he cursed her in return."

"He's so vicious!"

"That's it!"

The two girls began to ask each other questions again.

Yin Jiu held his head with a headache, "Maybe... that sentence wasn't meant to be a curse?"

"Huh?" Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha were originally angry about this ungrateful story, but when they heard that Yin Jiu had other ideas, they both focused their attention.

"Perhaps the other party meant the English word 'shine'?" Yin Jiu's eyes were clear, "This word means sunny in English. If it is true as you said, the relationship between the two was very good before, maybe the other party used his native language to express his feelings."

"Really? If it's Shine, it makes perfect sense." Mao Lilan's face brightened up, but she immediately connected all the truths of the story together, and her mood suddenly fell to a worse situation than before, "But if this is the case, then the two of them are..."

"It's such a pity that this misunderstanding happened." Toyama Kazuha continued what Mouri Ran said.

"Did we blame Brother Robert wrongly?" The twin sisters did not feel so deeply, but just widened their eyes at the same time.

"Then we should go find him and apologize!"

"Yes, Brother Rob said he wanted to marry a bride who was like light. He must be very sad that we misunderstood him like this."

The two children immediately got up and ran out hand in hand.

Mao Lilan and Yuanshan followed him out because they were worried that there were still criminals wandering around.

"Don't you want to go over and take a look?" Vermouth had already reached home, but the call between her and Yin Jiu was still ongoing. She asked subconsciously when she didn't hear Yin Jiu's footsteps.

"Don't you think it's disgusting to use the word 'shine' to describe something you like?" As a vampire who doesn't like sunlight, Yin Jiu instinctively dislikes this word. "Besides, what good bamboo shoots can the people in the United States have?"

Vermouth: “…”

"Ah, I almost scolded you into jail." Yin Jiu felt a little silence on the other end of the headset. Suddenly, he remembered that Chris Wynyard was a native American. He immediately felt that his previous statement was not appropriate, and immediately added, "Except you."

Vermouth: “…”
