Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Chapter 36: Cherish the Untrustworthy Partner

Yin Jiu's words really provoked Gin's anger. After a "friendly" exchange and warm-up exercises, Yin Jiu had the first meal of the day.

Of course, it was solved in the lab with Gin.

"Big, big brother."

Vodka looked at Gin, whose face was as gloomy as the last piece of beef in the bowl was taken away.

Yin Jiu was in a good mood and even put his hands together to express his gratitude in front of Gin, "Thank you for the hospitality!"

Yin Jiu licked his lips. "Sure enough, the wagyu beef from Mr. Guardian's bowl is the most delicious. Thank you very much, Mr. Guardian!"

"childish."

Gin took a look at the rice bento which was almost empty, then lowered his head and continued to eat. He didn't bother with the patient.

Vodka couldn't stand it any longer, so he considerately took two pieces of meat from his lunch box and put them on Gin's plate. "Glenfiddich, Big Brother is a half-blood and can't use chopsticks. You can't bully him like this."

"I'm also a mixed-blood," Yin Jiu held up the chopsticks and nimbly picked up something with his hands. Then he showed off in front of Gin and said, "Gin, you should practice using chopsticks. If you need to pick something up when you are doing a mission in the future, you will be at a great loss."

"This kind of thing will be done by Bourbon or someone else." Gin saw Yin Jiu coming over again, without raising his head, he quickly shoveled the two pieces of fresh meat he had just obtained into his mouth, then took the spoon from the side, and his eating speed instantly increased a lot.

"That's true, but Bourbon is also a mixed-blood, so why is he more skilled in using chopsticks than you?" Yin Jiu recalled Bourbon's skillful cooking posture, "By the way, Bourbon's Japanese food has always tasted pretty good. You probably haven't tried it, right? If he gets a part-time job as a waiter or chef someday, I'll show you the way."

"You should cherish this kind of partner who is not very trustworthy. If there is any good thing, you should enjoy it as soon as possible, otherwise it may be gone one day."

Yin Jiu kept complaining, always feeling that he had forgotten something important.

"Oops."

Yin Jiu suddenly took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw several missed calls from Amuro Toru, and the next few were messages from Masuyama Kenzo.

Just when he was stunned, another phone call came in.

"Hey?"

When Yin Jiu picked up the phone, he heard the somewhat anxious voice of Amuro Toru on the other end of the line.

"Yin Jiu, where are you? Why didn't you answer so many calls?"

Toru Amuro was very anxious. Yin Jiu's physical condition was so bad yesterday. If he went out alone and fainted on the roadside, and now he has lost contact, he might have been kidnapped.

Although this child is not that famous in Japan, with a face that is beautiful beyond her gender, if she were to fall outside without any protection, it would be easy to attract the attention of some people with bad intentions. If Yin Jiu was really picked up by some strange person... the consequences would be disastrous.

However, Toru Amuro was originally very anxious, and he just wanted to give it another try when he made the call. Unexpectedly, the call was connected right away, and the situation on the other end sounded quite good.

In an instant, anxiety turned into anger, and Toru Amuro couldn't tell what was wrong with him, and his tone became uncontrollably heavy.

"I...."

The boy seemed to be frightened. He stammered for a long time before timidly saying, "I'm sorry. I went out alone this morning and missed my stop. Then I didn't know what to do, so I sat all the way to the terminal."

"Then?" Toru Amuro recalled the experience of Yin Jiu going out alone to take the Shinkansen, and gave a reasonable label to the behavior, but his tone did not change at all.

"And then... and then," the boy's voice began to tear up, while Crazy and Gin exchanged glances, "and then I got lost! My Japanese is not good, and there were no platforms marked in English at the terminal, so I just randomly chose another route to take!"

"..."

"..."

There was silence on both ends of the phone. Vodka looked at Glenfiddich in shock as he told the most outrageous lie with an expressionless face and a crying voice.

What's even more outrageous is that Bourbon on the other end believed this outrageous statement after only hesitating for a while.

Vodka's expression became complicated. For a moment, he didn't know whether to comment that Glenfiddich's excuse was outrageous or that Bourbon was really stupid.

"Then why don't you come out and take a taxi, or call back and ask?" Toru Amuro's tone was much calmer this time. He felt that Yin Jiu was also quite miserable. The terminal was probably very remote. If he continued to take random buses, he would probably have reached the end of the world by now.

"I want to, too," Yin Jiu's tone became even more aggrieved when he said this. He stretched out his hand and gave Gin a 1, and Gin shook his head and gave him a 5.

He made a 2 again, and Gin made a 3.

"..."make a deal!

Yin Jiu gritted his teeth, and this time his tone was more sincere, "Who knew that the terminal would lead to a desolate mountain and wilderness, and it was obviously not in the city. And there was no signal on the phone..."

"So where are you now?" When Toru Amuro heard about Yin Jiu's situation, he gasped and rubbed his forehead to comfort himself that as long as the silly roe deer was not lost, "I'll pick you up now."

"Okay, I'm here..."

Yin Jiu looked at Gin. Gin's hands were so fast that he immediately searched for a location that met all of Yin Jiu's descriptions and turned over the computer screen.

"..." Yin Jiu frowned, "I saw the sign but I don't know how to read it. How about this, I'll write it down and send it to you after I hang up the phone."

"laugh."

After hanging up the phone, Yin Jiu immediately received Gin's ridicule.

"What are you laughing at?" Yin Jiu stared at the computer screen and input the words into the mobile phone screen bit by bit.

"It's really funny when you play dumb." Gin had just hit Yin Jiu, and now he looked at the other person with a lot more tolerance. He looked at the number Yin Jiu sent the message to, and decisively changed the target to mock, "Some people actually believe such a lame excuse. I really want to record a video for RUM to let him see how smart his capable men are."

"Isn't this the stability of my usual personality?"

Yin Jiu took the initiative to ignore the first half of Gin's words, and defended his mother righteously, "The rumored Bourbon is one of the best cadres in the intelligence team. This is a result that everyone has witnessed. You can't just belittle other excellent agents just to belittle me. It's easy to make people feel disheartened."

"..."

"And the reason why he believed what I said is precisely because it's outrageous enough." Seeing that Gin was speechless, Yin Jiu tidied his clothes and quickly put the things in the laboratory back in place. "Suspicious people like Bourbon will subconsciously tell lies that they are 70% true and 30% false. So if you use their familiar thinking to mislead them, when they come to their senses and smell a flaw, they can trace the truth back to the truth. But what if you do the opposite? Just give them an outrageous reason that is beyond the reach of a cow or a horse. He will have to find a reasonable point in this outrageous reason. Once he finds a trace of rationality, he can only follow this 'reasonable' flaw to rationalize the whole thing before the illusion is exposed."

Yin Jiu's judgment was completely correct. While driving over, Amuro Toru recalled the conversation dozens of times in his mind.

How could something so outrageous be possible?

Toru Amuro covered his face, but he quickly thought of Yin Jiu's last trip, when he was also alone, also taking the Shinkansen, and even encountered a bomb.

Compared with this, it doesn't seem that outrageous if I just missed my stop.

Amuro smiled. This kid really can't be careless for a moment. He has only been in Japan for a few days, and he has had two accidents while riding alone in the car! He will take care of him when he returns!

He received a call from Yin Jiu in a remote suburb. "It seems that there is a logging factory nearby, so we can get the signal."

Amuro Toru held the steering wheel resignedly, sighing at his silly roe deer's good luck, "It happened that I called you at that time, otherwise you would have walked far away and couldn't find a car to return at night, and you might really have to sleep in the wilderness."

"I won't run around next time." Yin Jiu lowered his head, admitting his mistakes humbly.

Toru Amuro suddenly couldn't bear to say any more harsh words.

This matter was just lightly put aside and waited until the weekend.

"Xiaojiu, I heard that you were lost last week," Yuanzi said carelessly, and his voice came from half a street away before he even arrived.

"Sonoko, don't shout so loudly." Xiaolan followed behind, pulling Suzuki Sonoko and giving Yin Jiu an apologetic look.

"You all know about it." Yin Jiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't feel embarrassed. Isn't it normal for a foreign minor to get lost?

Instead of trying to hide it, Yin Jiu admitted it straightforwardly, "It was mainly because the place names were too difficult to recognize, and I got on the wrong station by accident. My agent is making a big fuss out of nothing."

"That's the reason. But actually, Xiaojiu's Japanese has improved a lot since she first came." Yuanzi patted Yinjiu on the shoulder to comfort her. "It's okay, Xiaojiu. I'll invite you to any gatherings in the future. You'll improve if you hang out more."

"That's great." Yin Jiu raised his eyes and looked at Conan who was following beside him. This way he was a little closer to his observation target.

Conan seemed to have noticed Yin Jiu's gaze and moved closer to Mao Li Ran.

"I say, your agent must have your own reasons for being so worried about you." Conan recalled the day in the bandaged man's villa, when Yin Jiu slept until midnight but his body was still almost completely cold.

If Yin Jiu hadn't revealed an expression of being in a nightmare at that time, he would have even thought it was a corpse at that temperature.

In addition, Yin Jiu always holds an umbrella and has a pale face, so it is definitely not a congenital deficiency.

It's more like some serious illness.

"You should get some sun. You don't look healthy hiding under an umbrella every day."

"That won't work. I'm allergic to sunlight." Yin Jiu shook his head and tightened the umbrella in his hand.
