Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

The location of the hot spring is not far from the city, and it was already half dark when Yin Jiu and Masuyama Kenzo arrived.

The two of them ate some noodles at the hot spring hotel, took their bathing supplies and went to the hot spring pool together.

"During this trip abroad, the people traveling with me recommended the hot springs here to me, saying that they can relieve insomnia.. I immediately thought of you." Masuyama Kenzo played the role of a loving father who was trying his best to please his adopted son. He sat in the hot spring pool with a towel hanging on his shoulders. When he turned his head to look at Yin Jiu, his eyes were kind and gentle, "Would you like to come down and try it? I guess this is also your first time to take a hot spring bath in Japan."

"It's indeed the first time." Compared to Pisk's leisurely and contented look, Yin Jiu's movements were clumsy and he seemed a little uncomfortable. He hesitantly stretched out his toes to explore the water, then cautiously retracted them.

"Don't be afraid, the water temperature is just right, you'll get used to it after a while." Masuyama Kenzo sat in the hot spring, with a smile on his face since the beginning. He thought he had experience in taking care of children, and he deeply understood Yin Jiu's discomfort, and even felt that he had caught a new opportunity to get closer to her, "You can try to cover your knees with water first, and then a little bit..."

Kenzo Masuyama had only said half of his instructions when Yin Jiu suddenly stepped one foot into the water with ease.

"..."

"The water temperature is just right," Yin Jiu raised the corners of his mouth shyly. The smile on Piske's face had quietly shifted to his face without him noticing.

Yin Jiu wasn’t so delicate that she needed someone to guide her when taking a hot spring bath, but the water was steaming hot in the middle of the night, and Masuyama Kenzo was at an age where his heat sensitivity wasn’t very high. . . .

"..."

Yin Jiu felt that he absolutely did not mean to distrust Pisk, but in this situation, strategically testing the water temperature was a necessary step.

Kenzo Masuyama's half-sentence was stuck in his throat, and the sense of accomplishment of being a leader also came to an abrupt end.

For a moment, a hint of aging melancholy floated in the air.

a long time. . .

Kenzo Masuyama recovered and noticed that Yin Jiu had found a comfortable position for himself and was leaning against the cobblestone wall, looking at him.

"What happened to your hand?" Masuyama Kenzo narrowed his eyes. He felt that Yin Jiu's sitting posture was not right. One of the child's hands had been resting on the shore. Upon closer inspection, he could vaguely see a square flesh-colored OK stick on the palm of the boy's hand, which was much darker than the boy's skin color. "When did you get hurt?"

"About three or four days ago." Yin Jiu raised his hand and looked at it for a while, then roughly calculated, "I was accidentally scratched by a glass cup on the set. Counting to tonight, it should be four days ago."

"It's been so many days and there's still no scab?" Masuyama Kenzo frowned. This kind of wound can be healed in almost two days with tissue medicine. Then he cast his eyes on Yin Jiu's neck, "Then what about the wound on your body?"

"Well, I encountered a gangster before..." Yin Jiu also frowned. This injury has been there for longer. It is obviously just a bruise, but it has been almost two weeks and there is no sign of fading. It is obviously much slower than the healing speed of a normal person.

There must be something wrong with his body.

Yin Jiu was not the only one who realized this. When Piske heard that Yin Jiu had encountered criminals and was injured, his eyelids jumped violently.

What are these things?

If something unexpected happened to his mission target, it would be treated as a major mistake.

Recall the email I received from the code-named member named Glenfiddich.

Could it be that because something went wrong with Yin Jiu and he, as his guardian, did nothing, the higher-ups were dissatisfied with him?

This is not good!

Piske's heart was filled with alarm. He felt that he should think about his life. He reorganized his words and spoke again, but this time it was not a question.

"My friend's research institute has some medicine for insomnia and wounds. I'll take you there tomorrow to get them and have a physical checkup while you're at it. Although there was nothing wrong with your body during the last checkup, if your wounds don't heal, you'll have to at least get them disinfected there."

"Is it too much trouble? They are just minor injuries." Yin Jiu declined verbally, but he had no intention of refusing in his heart.

He had been planning to go to the research institute, and he was more than happy to have Pisker as his companion. But the double-faced excuses were indispensable, as his colleagues in the organization were always suspicious, especially those old guys who had been in the organization for many years. He did this just to "appease" Pisker and make him feel more at ease.

Yin Jiu, who thought he was considerate, heard Pisk's disapproving voice as expected, "How can this be considered a minor injury?"

"Although it looks like just a bruise, the injury is on the shoulder. If you don't treat it, it will easily affect your sleep, and your insomnia will not be cured at all."

"Hmm..." Yin Jiu showed a hesitant expression, seeming a little shaken.

Seeing Yin Jiu wavering, Masuyama Kenzo immediately threw the towel aside and took advantage of the situation to continue, "If you are sick or injured, you should go to the hospital. Besides, people of my age also need to go to the hospital for maintenance from time to time. It's nothing to take you with me."

"Okay." Seeing Yin Jiu finally nodded slightly, Piske secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his brows relaxed as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Pisk felt that the target's recent itinerary and the target's latest physical examination report should be enough for him to report to the organization for the time being.

The two of them, each with their own ulterior motives, soaked in the pool together.

"Da da da."

The night breeze blew gently, bringing a slight coolness, like a veil brushing against the face. The sound of wooden clogs came from a distance. Yin Jiu was drowsy after soaking in the water. When he looked up, he saw two figures, one big and one small, slowly approaching in the night.

“???” Yin Jiu’s eyes suddenly widened. Most of his body was buried under the water, with only half of his head and his left hand exposed.

"Don't be so nervous. Open-air hot springs are mixed bathing for men and women. Other people should be coming." Kenzo Masuyama was very accustomed to the current situation. Seeing the young man's embarrassed expression with his pupils shaking, he happily used his fingers to draw ripples in the water.

"..."

Yin Jiu watched Masuyama Kenzo stand up slowly, take the prepared yukata from the basket on the shore and put it on, then take out a towel and hand it to him, "If you don't like being disturbed, you can come out first. We will stay here for the night. There is a separate hot spring in the luxury suite."

"Luxury suite?" Yin Jiu blinked, and his brain hiding under the water instantly popped out. This elderly and active veteran cadre seemed to not only be enthusiastic about his work, but also well versed in the art of "combining work and rest".

Yin Jiu's eyes curled instantly. Who said that only old fools know how to live? Isn't there an old wine with both taste and ability in front of him?

Yin Jiu took the big towel and wrapped most of his body with it, then he took out another smaller yellow towel with bear ears from the basket and wrapped it around his head.

"Xiaojiu?"

"?"

Yin Jiu was wiping his face. When he heard the familiar voice, he immediately opened his eyes from the fluffy cloth. Then when he turned around, he saw his little target - Conan.

And, Maori-senpai, whose face was flushed, had turned around and turned her back.
