"Hey, Conan, why are you always staying behind Uncle Maori?"

Dirty conversations between adults obviously should not involve minors. Yin Jiu was very considerate and quietly left the two of them when the director spoke to Amuro Toru.

"..." Conan wiped the cold sweat from his face again, laughed dryly, and turned back to face Yin Jiu's half-smile.

"I...I want to be closer and listen to my uncle's reasoning."

"Oh?" Yin Jiu blinked, and his expression didn't show whether he believed it or not.

This attitude made Conan a little confused about the other party's thoughts, coupled with Yin Jiu's always raised mouth corners...

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Conan's back.

Could it be that this guy already knew everything and was just watching him act?

"Um, Brother Yin Jiu, I haven't asked you yet, are you here to film a movie?" Conan suppressed the random thoughts in his mind, rubbed his hands nervously, and asked even though he knew the answer.

"I am indeed here to film a movie," Yin Jiu smiled and bent down, stretched out her hands to pinch Conan's face and pulled it hard to both sides, "Didn't you borrow the crew's dummy in my name?"

"Ha...hahaha, this, this..." Conan smiled, a layer of cold sweat gradually seeping out of his back, "Uncle Maori asked me to do this... Yeah, by the way, what role are you playing, Brother Yinjiu? Are you the protagonist?"

"Guess?" Seeing the old boy sweating coldly, Yin Jiu let go of the young but old experimental subject and made a shushing gesture, "This is confidential information in the contract, I can't tell you. But I don't have a lot of roles, so if you really want to know, there's a way."

"What method?" Conan was originally just being polite, but Yin Jiu's words piqued his interest.

"Keep it a secret. You have to agree first." Yin Jiu smiled mysteriously, and without waiting for Conan to speak, he looked up in the direction of Amuro Toru, "Oh, why did my agent push Uncle Maori down?"

"?!!!" Conan also turned around following Yin Jiu's words, and after just one look, he immediately thought to himself that something bad was going to happen.

Toru Amuro originally just wanted to exchange business cards with Kogoro Mori, but he found that the other party was not in a good state.

After Yin Jiu fainted, he went to look up a lot of relevant information about Maori Kogoro's situation. . .

Seems more like narcolepsy-like cataplexy?

He tentatively reached out and pushed Maori Kogoro, and as expected, the tall and strong middle-aged man fell to the side without realizing it.

"Dad!" The first to react was Mao Lilan. She held Mao Li Kogoro's shoulders, pushed her old father with a puzzled look on her face and muttered to herself, "Strange, shouldn't he be awake at this time normally?"

"Excuse me, I want to ask, does your father often do this?" Toru Amuro gave Mouri Ran a polite smile.

"Yes, but he usually wakes up after the case is solved." Mao Lilan was a little confused about the change in Amuro Toru's attitude, but she did not hide it and told him the actual situation in detail.

"Is that so? Didn't your father go to the hospital for a checkup?"

When Yin Jiu and Conan came over, what they heard was Amuro Toru's suggestion.

"Ah, not yet." Mao Lilan was obviously not on guard against acquaintances, and asked nervously, "Is there something wrong with my father?"

"It's hard to say, but it's better to check it out when you have time," Amuro Toru gave advice to the high school student. Just then he saw Yin Jiu coming back with a child in blue clothes, and subconsciously pulled his silly roe deer behind him.

Conan: “…?”

"By the way, this is my business card. I'm going to take Xiao Jiu away first. We can talk next time if we have the chance."

"Hey? Okay..." Mao Lilan took the business card handed over by Amuro Toru, and watched as the originally kind boy immediately pulled Yin Jiu and quickly left as if he was running away from the plague god when he saw Conan.

She looked at Conan hesitantly, "..?"

Conan: “…?”

"Oh, what a fool is dad. He can't even say goodbye to Yin Jiu properly like this. It's so rude." Mao Lilan was silent for a long while. In the end, she didn't say anything questioning to the innocent cub. She just lowered her head and complained.

-

In the car, Yin Jiu was dragged to the back seat by Amuro Toru without explanation. He looked at his agent in confusion, "Why are you in such a hurry to take me away? Where are the director and the others?"

"They left ahead, and all the reporters will be here in a while." Amuro Toru stepped on the accelerator and moved away from this rather unlucky place, making excuses, "If you don't want to be surrounded and interviewed, it's best to run away now."

"That's true," Yin Jiu glanced at the dark sky outside, looking uneasy, "But I just saw you handing Uncle Maori your business card. Don't you dislike the Maori family?"

"...Not really that annoying." Amuro Toru secretly sighed at the sharpness of his own silly roe deer, and then told a white lie.

"Really? Then what about asking Uncle Maori to go to the hospital for a check-up?" Yin Jiu blinked, his face full of curiosity.

"Well, I suspect he has narcolepsy." Amuro Toru did not intend to hide it from Yin Jiu. "The cause of this disease is very strange. Generally, the patient will fall asleep in inappropriate places or times. If it is not treated for a long time, he may collapse in some very dangerous places. I just happened to discover it, so I want to remind you."

"In this case, I feel relieved. Brother Tou is indeed a good person." Yin Jiu's expression became bright.

Seeing this, Toru Amuro in the front seat couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but the next second his smile froze on his face.

"I used to think that Toru hated Mori-senpai and the others, and that he approached Mori-san just to make it easier to film a detective drama. Now it seems that I was overthinking. If that's not the reason, it's great."

"..."

After sending Yin Jiu home, Toru Amuro dragged his tired body and covered his head and sat back in the car.

He understood Yin Jiu's words very well. Yin Jiu was warning him, telling him that he didn't want 'Brother Tou' to hate the Maori family, and he didn't want 'Brother Tou' to get close to them and take advantage of them deliberately because of the interests.

"Ah."

A fool who acts on his own. He hasn't even started yet, but he faces off against his friend and agent.

His silly roe deer is kind and sensitive, but he doesn't know how to protect himself.

If the agent was not him, but some other greedy and dirty adult, the silly roe deer might have been threatened, intimidated, subjected to hot and cold violence, and would have been hiding in a corner secretly wiping away tears.

But he is not that kind of person.

Amuro Toru let out a long breath and dialed Kazama's number, "Hello, Kazama."

"Yes, there is new information about Maori Kogoro. I am suspicious now...so I want you to check..."
