Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Yin Jiu cursed in his heart, resigned himself to his fate and lifted Conan from behind to in front of him, switching positions silently in the dark.

"Did the weirdo in black cut off the power?"

The other people in the darkness did not have the unique vision of vampires like Yin Jiu, and they all stood there groping in confusion.

Yin Jiu was quietly moving with Conan in his arms, and he saw Takahashi Ryoichi, who was wearing a black cloak again, taking out an axe from his abdomen at the other side of his original position.

"Boom!"

"Senior Ran, be careful!"

Yin Jiu's original position was very close to Mao Li Ran. At this moment, he clearly saw that Takahashi's axe was unreasonably chopping towards Xiaolan's position on the other side.

what?

Takahashi suddenly stopped moving and looked in disbelief at the place where Yin Jiu made the sound.

Why is it on that side?

Who is this person in front of me?

At the same time, Mao Lilan also reacted and kicked him in the waist and abdomen with a beautiful roundhouse kick.

Not good.

The heavy object fell to the ground with a thud.

With the props blocking the force, most of it was relieved, but Takahashi still felt a burst of pain in his abdomen.

Planted!

Takahashi gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and turned around to continue making noise before others came over.

"Enough, Takahashi! How many more people are you going to hurt?" This time it was Suzuki Ayako who couldn't bear it.

The emergency equipment was suddenly turned on, and except for Ryoichi Takahashi, everyone else in the room was still standing not far from their original positions.

After his identity was exposed, the bandaged monster, who was originally aggressive, dropped the axe in his hand.

"Why is it Takahashi?"

Several people looked at each other in shock, looked at the flat waist and abdomen of the bandaged man, looked at the place where Takahashi Ryoichi disappeared, and looked at Suzuki Ayako with puzzled eyes again.

"I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from everyone," Suzuki Ayako lowered her head, "In fact, Yin Jiu should have discovered it a long time ago, and I asked him to help keep it secret."

"Xiao Jiu?" Mao Lilan and Sonoko also looked at Yin Jiu in surprise. This guy has always shown an ambiguous attitude. Could it be that he actually knew the truth from the beginning?

Yin Jiu was also confused. When did he show that he knew the truth?

Suzuki Ayako walked to the side and took out the special-shaped necklace of Ikeda Chikako that Yin Jiu had wrapped in plastic wrap from the cabinet. "Xiao Jiu, you don't have to refuse. In fact, when I was on the phone, I saw you put something here."

"I wasn't sure at the time, but when I came back, I secretly checked the drawer and knew that you had seen through it."

"It was my fault for asking you that. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I'm sorry."

"..." Facing the confused or shocked gazes of several people, Yin Jiu hesitated for a moment, then cooperated and admitted the matter, "Yes."

As he spoke, he pulled out an envelope from his pocket. "At the time, I was in charge of checking the doors and windows downstairs. I noticed that Ms. Ikeda's slippers were placed at the back door, so I thought it was likely that someone I knew asked her out."

"And this envelope was left at the door, the letter inside was taken away, but the recipient's name outside was Miss Ikeda."

"That is, there is a high probability that someone asked her out alone while we were cooking. At that time, I suspected Takahashi who was upstairs. And this is the only explanation that makes sense, because if someone else went out alone with Ikeda Chikako, Takahashi would not be out of sight. And what really made me identify the murderer was this necklace..."

"So why did you hide the necklace then?"

Conan couldn't understand, and the others also looked at him with confusion.

"Because we don't know the criminal's purpose yet." Yin Jiu's eyes moved away from the necklace, his gaze was far away, "At that time, I was not sure of his purpose. What if the criminal wanted to kill everyone with him, and I exposed him before everyone was prepared, causing him to attack and hurt people, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

"would not!"

The bandaged man had already taken off his disguise, and Takahashi's tears fell bit by bit, "I did this so that Atsuko wouldn't die with hatred in her heart!"

As Takahashi revealed his past bit by bit, everyone gradually got a glimpse of the truth behind Atsuko's suicide.

"So how can I be innocent?"

Sitting on the sofa, seeing that everyone else showed sympathy and understanding at the end of the conversation, Yin Jiu silently peeled an orange for himself and took a bite with melancholy.

Only Conan followed, very speechless, "Who told you to open other people's doors casually? Can't you be a little responsible?"

"..."

Yin Jiu rolled his eyes at Conan. He remembered that this was not what the guy said when Ran Mouri was killed in the original novel.

He handed the orange to Conan and patted the fake child on the forehead, "Eat more fruits to supplement your vitamins."

"..."

-

Finally, the Suzuki family’s special car took them down the mountain.

After confirming that the figures of Mao Lilan and others were completely out of sight, Yin Jiu summoned the Porsche 356A.

"Why is the atmosphere so heavy today?" Yin Jiu noticed something was wrong as soon as he got into the car.

It was normal for Gin to ignore him, so usually at this time, Vodka would always talk to him a few more words.

But today is very different. Yin Jiu keenly observed that the little Vodka angel was silent than usual, and his eyes were evasive, as if - he didn't want to see him?

Yin Jiu was suspicious for only a moment, and immediately cast a reproachful look at Gin.

'What did you do with the vodka?'

Receiving Yin Jiu's question, Gin sneered and typed a string of code on the computer screen, "He hasn't recovered from reading this yet."

Yin Jiu took a look and found it familiar. It was a photo of Yin Shuli.

"?"

What happened to his daughter?

"Did the higher-ups urge us to complete this task?"

Yin Jiu took the computer and saw the green indefinite words displayed under the taskbar. He looked up at Vodka in the driver's seat and tilted his head. "Are you surprised that I'm her son, Vodka?"

"That's not the case." Vodka didn't look back. He had been trying to prepare himself mentally for the whole day. But when he really saw the code name and connected it with the face in front of him, some extremely terrifying rumors that had been deliberately forgotten in the past immediately resurfaced in his mind.

Vodka has always known that Yin Jiu is the child of a lady named Yin Shuli. This lady has a status in the organization that is no lower than RUM. It can be said that she is of genuine pedigree.

But unexpectedly, Yin Shuli turned out to be...

"I just never noticed that you two looked so similar." Vodka felt that he shouldn't have this attitude. Children cannot choose their own parents or appearance, and he couldn't have tinted glasses towards Glenfiddich.

After thinking for a while, Vodka took the initiative to start another topic, "So Glenfiddich, you are actually part of the research group?"

It is actually very common for sons to follow in their father's footsteps in an organization, especially for high-level code members. Generally speaking, when the children of organization members are trained, they will also choose to be trained in the direction that their parents are good at.

"I guess so." Yin Jiu thought about it. If being an experimental material can be considered as participating in the research, then every experimental project does have his traces. He closed the notebook and handed it back to Gin, adding, "But my situation is more complicated. In addition to cooperating with the experiment, I also have to take charge of the task of investigating my mother."

"Then you have to take charge of the investigation team's tasks. You've worked really hard." Vodka sighed, but then he felt something was wrong, "There's still no news about your mother? With her status, she shouldn't betray the organization."

"Well, maybe she died somewhere." Yin Jiu looked up. Who knew where his daughter was practicing Taoism in the mountains? She might be dead.

Based on the character he had imagined for Yin Shuli, there was no way that guy would be a quiet person.

The time travel brought him too many problems, and to Yin Jiu, everything seemed strongly unreal.

"I really want to find her as soon as possible. I have many, many questions that need her to answer."

The young man's voice suddenly lowered, sounding mournful and ghostly, filled with unspeakable chilling meaning.

The two people in the car were attracted by Yin Jiu's sudden change of mood. "How was your class reunion this time? I saw some policemen going up the mountain this morning."

Gin lit a cigarette and decisively started a new topic.

"It's not bad," Yin Jiu said without hesitation, looking at the gradually warming sunlight outside, "I ran into a bandage weirdo who was slashing at people randomly, and I almost got chopped."

"Almost got chopped off?" Gin's tone became heavier, and he began to look through the morning news. "What's his name?"

"Don't look at it. The person was just arrested, and the news didn't spread so quickly." Yin Jiu yawned, "Besides, I'm fine, and I even made some money."

"Can you still make money from this?" Vodka was driving. When he heard that Yin Jiu was almost chopped, he was thinking about whether he should go with his eldest brother in the afternoon to help Glenfiddich get revenge, but then he heard the second half of Yin Jiu's boastful tone.

"You may not have thought," Yin Jiu said with great joy, making a chopping motion with his hand, "Just like that, I earned a promise from Miss Suzuki."

"Although it's a promise made without violating principles, it's from the Suzuki family after all, so I've made a profit anyway."

"What's the point of this promise? You're not the head of the Suzuki family." Gin only thought for a moment and understood the twists and turns. He said coldly, "The same thing can be done by the people in the business department of the organization. Using the power of the eldest lady of the Suzuki family may expose us."

"I know this, but what if it is used in some unexpected places?" Yin Jiu laughed, "After all, my relationship with the organization cannot be exposed. It's better to be prepared, right?"
