Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Ayako couldn't continue her topic because the protagonist of the topic came back.

"Ikeda.. and Kakutani, you guys are back?"

Suzuki Ayako didn't show any embarrassment at being caught in the conversation, so Yin Jiu couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and then saw her throw the wet towel into the dirty clothes basket as if nothing had happened, "Is it raining heavily outside?"

"Yeah, if it weren't for this spoilsport guy chasing me out, I would have been planning to take a walk in the rain." Ikeda Chikako crossed her arms and looked at Kakutani with an impatient expression, "I already said I didn't want to take a walk with you, why did you chase me out?"

"I just saw it was raining and sent you an umbrella."

Hiroki Kadaya showed a flattering smile, but was immediately retorted by Chikako Ikeda, "Send me an umbrella? It's just a small rain, if you get wet, you get wet. There's no need for you to spoil my fun."

"You..." Hiroki Kadoya couldn't stand being bullied like this again and again, and his expression became a little embarrassed.

Ota Katsu, who happened to open the door, heard this as soon as he entered the room. He couldn't help but say, "Kakutani, this woman is like this. She doesn't care even if you give her a chance. It's not the first day you've known her. You've been spoiled by her."

"What did you say?!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Seeing that several people were about to quarrel again, Suzuki Ayako quickly acted as a peacemaker, "Now that everyone is back, it's almost time to change the wet clothes and get ready for dinner."

After she finished speaking, she opened the window and said to Takahashi Ryoichi outside, "Takahashi, you can come down and prepare dinner."

"Okay, I'll go down after I finish fixing this piece." Takahashi's silly voice came from outside.

At the same time, while several people were changing clothes, Suzuki Ayako, Mao Li Ran and others went to the kitchen to get busy.

The only ones left were Conan and Yin Jiu, who were completely unable to help.

"You said their relationship is so bad, why do they have to hold a class reunion?"

Conan followed Yin Jiu to pick up the wet towel on the ground and couldn't help but complain.

"Maybe they are the type that grow closer the more they quarrel, and they are expressing their friendship this way." Yin Jiu couldn't quite understand this fake friendship between classmates who had to get together despite quarreling, and hesitated for a while, "Don't they say that beating is love and scolding is care? Anyway, my guardians do this."

Gin has a clear distinction between what he likes and dislikes. For people he doesn't like, he will simply give them a dozen peanuts.

But Gin always has more patience towards companions he truly values ​​or people he is close to.

This can be seen in the code name members.

For example, Gin would sometimes personally practice fighting and shooting with his teammates at the training ground.

For example, if his subordinates made a mistake, Gin would not give up directly like Vermouth, but would at most scold them.

They will also guide the other party on how to do better next time.

If we round it off this way, it is true that beating is a sign of love and scolding is a sign of care, and those who don't beat or scold will go to hell.

"..."

So is this how this sentence is used?

Conan rolled his eyes speechlessly and mentally deducted 10 points from Yin Jiu's reliability.

Could it be that this child has been PUA'd by his own guardian?

Is beating love and scolding affection?

Isn't this straight up child abuse in the name of love?

At that moment, Conan looked at Yin Jiu with sympathy.

No wonder he was bullied in the workplace. Maybe the guardian that Yin Jiu thought of was cold and kind was just Yin Jiu’s distorted perception. In fact...

Conan imagined that a boss who could say such nonsense as beating is love and scolding is love was probably not a good person.

"Don't show that expression." Yin Jiu's attention was always partially on Conan. At this time, he had already packed up all the towels and spread them out on the clothesline. "The guardian never beat or scolded me. I just thought that compared to some punishments, beating and scolding are indeed the most gentle and helpless methods."

"Hello..."

Conan wanted to correct Yin Jiu's idea. He felt that this cognitive tendency was very dangerous. At least if he equated beating and scolding with love, then if Yin Jiu had someone he liked in the future, wouldn't it be...

"How tragic." Yin Jiu's voice suddenly connected to Conan's thoughts, shocking the child so much that he stood there in a daze.

"I mean, whether it's the person who has to endure this kind of love or the person who loves in this way, it's too miserable."

Yin Jiu placed his hand on Conan's head and spoke in a deep tone.

There was a smell of fresh blood, mixed with the scent of rain, which became thick in the air.

Along with it, there is also a sudden surge in emotions.

Conan opened his mouth with a complicated expression, but saw Yin Jiu suddenly hold his forehead unhappily.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Conan grabbed Yin Jiu's other hand, which was as cold as usual and no warmth could be felt.

"It's okay, I just have some low blood sugar."

Yin Jiu closed his eyes and looked at his hunger which had suddenly dropped by half in his mind. "Conan, your parents should have paid a lot of support to that Dr. Agasa."

"Probably?" Conan didn't know why Yin Jiu suddenly wanted to talk about this topic.

A scream interrupted the conversation.

"I, I just saw a dark figure down there!" Takahashi opened the window from the outside with a bang, half of the person leaned against the window frame and gasped, "It was a strange-looking person!"

"A very strange person?" All eyes subconsciously focused on the window downstairs, and then they saw a man with bandages all over his body and wearing a long cloak, holding Chikako, passing by the window.

"Chikako!!"

The most anxious one was Kakutani.

But Conan was faster than him. He picked up the flashlight next to the laundry basket, opened the window, and jumped out.

"Conan!"

You old man!

The sudden smell of blood made Yin Jiu cough. It was blood that was sweet with a hint of cinnamon.

Very typical B blood type.

Yin Jiu held his breath, trying hard to stop himself from thinking too deeply.

Mao Lilan noticed Yin Jiu's frozen expression and rubbed her arms in fear, "Xiao Jiu, why... why do you suddenly have such a scary expression?"

Mao Lilan thought that Yin Jiu must have discovered something, but in fact Yin Jiu was so angry that his teeth were itching.

He took a few steps forward, closed the window and locked it, then found a few towels that were not yet soaked and placed them under the window where there was a slight air leak. He did this smoothly, and when Yin Jiu turned around, his expression had completely calmed down. "Although they all chased the bandaged man out, there's no guarantee that it wasn't a trick by the criminals to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"I am the only girl in the room now. If the criminals take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in from behind and open a window, and then hide in the villa to attack, it would be unimaginable."

"Anyway, what we need to do now is to lock the doors and windows and call the police before they come back."

"Yes... that makes sense."

When Yin Jiu reminded Mao Lilan of this, the girls thought of the scene of being chased by a bandaged bad guy and felt a chill on their backs.

Mood value +1

Mood value +1

Yin Jiu's mood became good again as she watched Sonoko and Mao Lilan team up to check the windows upstairs.

He walked slowly around the first floor.

"Beep, an item has been detected - 'envelope'. It may contain the secret that caused Ms. Ikeda's death."

Yin Jiu raised his eyebrows and picked up the envelope that was thrown by the door.

Then he continued to look forward out of habit and saw another collar.

"How could this thing come about?" Yin Jiu frowned and picked up the thing from the ground.

"Beep - Object 'necklace' detected. It was used to fix Miss Ikeda's head."

"?"

What kind of horror story is this?

Yin Jiu looked at the strange necklace that looked like a collar over and over again, and then smelled it.

The case has been solved. The thing that has been emitting a bloody smell in the house is this thing.

Yin Jiu opened the drawer, took out a piece of plastic wrap, sealed the things with several layers, and stuffed them into the innermost layer of the dry towel.

After doing all this, Yin Jiu wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and stood up from the ground.

At the same time, an abnormal emotion value floated over from the corner of the stairs.

"...?"

Yin Jiu looked over and met the eyes of Suzuki Ayako who had just put down the receiver. There was a barely perceptible panic in the other person's eyes.

"what happened?"

Yin Jiu blinked and asked softly.

"There's no way to dial the number." Suzuki Ayako looked calm on the surface, but her emotions were increasing exponentially. She took out her phone, looked at the signal bar showing H+, and sighed silently, "It looks like we're in big trouble."

"This is a big trouble." Yin Jiu recalled the long series of system prompts before, and took out his mobile phone, but only saw a full signal.

It is indeed a new mobile phone developed by the organization...

Yin Jiu calmly hid the phone in his pocket, his expression heavy, and spoke in a comforting tone, "It seems that the signal here is indeed not good. If you think optimistically, maybe there is just a problem with the landline line. Maybe it can be fixed when Brother Gaoqiao comes back?"

Seeing Ayako's face improving slightly, Yin Jiu paused and added hesitantly, "However, I just saw that bandaged man carrying Sister Ikeda as if he was floating over. If it's a supernatural incident, there's actually no point in calling the police."

"..."

Ayako: There is no need to add the latter part.
