"Uh, good evening!" Yin Jiu didn't expect to meet an acquaintance by chance. Under the guidance of the old cadre, he had gradually let go of the fact that he was bathing in a mixed bathing pool. Suddenly seeing Mao Lilan, he subconsciously tightened his yukata.

"Uh, good evening?" Mao Lilan also felt very embarrassed. She thought she was here to use the private open-air hot spring, but she didn't expect that there were more than one person here, and one of them was a junior.

The two teams looked at each other in silence. Only Conan and Kenzo Masuyama were in the mood to observe the situation on the other side.

"Brother Yin Jiu, are you and your guardian also taking a hot spring bath here?" Conan, who was originally following Mao Li Ran with a blushing face, broke the deadlock at this moment and, taking advantage of his identity as a boy, walked towards Yin Jiu in a familiar manner.

"Yes, we heard that hot springs can help you sleep, so we came here." Yin Jiu took two steps back without leaving a trace, quickly tidied his clothes as if nothing had happened, but still politely replied, "By the way, if you two are here, then Uncle Maori should be here too."

"Yes, I came with my dad to attend his class reunion." Mao Lilan heard the noise behind her and thought that Yin Jiu had changed his clothes, so she turned around and asked, "Did Xiao Jiu come with his guardian?"

Mao Lilan only noticed the old man next to Yin Jiu at this moment. Seeing the two standing together, she immediately made the right judgment. "Hello, uncle."

Mao Lilan bowed slightly very politely, but the impression that "Yin Jiu's guardian seemed to be suffering from workplace bullying" flashed uncontrollably in her mind.

Kenzo Masuyama stood behind Yin Jiu and kept looking at the two uninvited guests secretly. He immediately retrieved their information from his mind.

The smaller one is the troublemaker I met in the buffet restaurant last time, and the larger one should be Yin Jiu’s classmate, and he seems to have a good relationship with Yin Jiu.

Kenzo Masuyama quickly weighed the two people's status in Yin Jiu's heart and quickly made what he thought was a correct judgment. He ignored Conan and nodded at Ran Mouri with a smile.

"I didn't expect to meet Xiao Jiu's classmates here. Thanks to you for taking care of him on weekdays."

Masuyama Kenzo first said something polite, then picked up the suitcase from the ground and put it in his arms, very considerately giving his time to the two boys and girls who were in the period of hormone explosion.

"Just now I just told this kid that it's best to walk around after taking a hot spring bath to get rid of the heat. Since you are classmates, why don't you go for a walk together? I can just take these clothes back with me."

As he spoke, Kenzo Masuyama seemed a little tired. He yawned, turned around and walked towards the B&B with the basket in his arms.

Yin Jiu originally wanted to leave as well, but suddenly he noticed that the elderly cadre in front of him quickened his pace. He tried to catch up with him, but unexpectedly, Pisk's pace became even faster.

"..."

What's going on with Pisco?

Yin Jiu turned back helplessly, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Lan, you don't have to hang out with me. I'll find a place to sit for a while and then go back."

"It's okay. We just happen to be free." Mao Lilan, holding the clothes basket, tilted her head when she saw Masuyama Kenzo walking away quickly. "But, uncle looks like a very cheerful old man. Last time you said that he was isolated by his colleagues in the company..."

"I wasn't talking about him before," Yin Jiu also looked at Masuyama's back as he left, and thought about his situation in the company. "Mr. Masuyama is just taking care of me temporarily instead of my guardian."

"My guardian is someone else, but if you must count, Mr. Masuyama is probably one of the few veterans in the company who is still willing to do real work."

Yin Jiu did not deliberately conceal anything and told all the information he had observed. He took two steps forward to help Mao Lilan carry the heavy object in her hand, paused and summarized again.

"Anyway, I actually like him very much. Mr. Masuyama is serious about his work and knows how to live. If my guardian can spend more time with colleagues like Mr. Masuyama, maybe the work pressure will be reduced a lot."

"Xiao Jiu really cares about his guardian." Ran Mouri's hands were free, so she naturally took the hand of Conan next to her.

"Yeah." Yin Jiu did not deny it. "In fact, they are all very good people. You will know it after you get to know them more."

As Mao Lilan listened to Yin Jiu's description, an image of a group of office workers who were serious on the outside but gentle and kind-hearted at heart gradually emerged in her mind.

Conan, who was following beside him, twitched his lips. He had not forgotten that the last time he met Mr. Masuyama, the other party looked very disliked him.

Haha, hypocritical adults.

Conan still labeled this old organization cadre as difficult to get along with and hypocritical. Then he pulled Yin Jiu's clothes and said, "By the way, Brother Yin Jiu, are your injuries not fully healed yet?"

He just saw that there were still bruises on Yin Jiu's back from the last beating. This meant that the scratch on his hand in Izu a few days ago might not have healed yet.

Conan used his free hand to quietly pull open Yin Jiu's sleeve, and as expected, he saw a palm with an OK stick on it.

"It's been so many days and it hasn't healed yet?" Mao Li Ran's attention was immediately diverted. She had heard Conan say that Yin Jiu was hit by a stick by a gangster in order to save him. At this moment, her expression was worried and a little guilty.

"Actually, it's not the injury from that time," Yin Jiu saw through Mao Lilan's concerns and deliberately spread out his palm in front of the two of them, "I think Conan is talking about this. This is the one that Izu accidentally scratched that time."

Yin Jiu lowered his eyes, recalling the scene of bloodletting and drinking that day, his eyes darkened a little, "Slow wound healing is generally related to platelet concentration and metabolic rate. I have a little anemia, so this is actually very normal."

"My guardian brought me here to take a hot spring bath tonight. I think he also wanted to heal my body. After that, I will go to the hospital with him. This way, my wound will heal quickly."

Yin Jiu's tone was quite optimistic. When they reached their residence, he rubbed Conan's head and said, "Don't always look like I'm about to die. I'm not as fragile as you think."

“…” Conan had been listening in silence when he was suddenly attacked by a large cold hand. He subconsciously covered his head and his expression instantly became speechless.

Please, this chilly temperature doesn't resemble the body temperature just after taking a hot spring bath. Who is so self-aware?

However, Conan's complaints in his heart could not be heard by the two of them, so Yin Jiu said goodbye to them and slowly walked towards Masuyama Kensada's room.

"Why are you back so soon?" Kenzo Masuyama was originally reporting his itinerary to the organization. When he saw Yin Jiu coming back, he subconsciously placed the screen of his mobile phone on the table and rubbed his hands in a natural manner.

"Not so fast," Yin Jiu only glanced at the room lightly, and didn't look any further. Instead, he poured a cup of warm water, held it in his hands and blew gently, then sat on the edge of the bed. "Senior Sister Lan is here with her father to attend the class reunion. I guess there will be other activities in the evening. It would be rude to take up too much of their time."

Yin Jiu blew the water in the cup again. On the surface, he maintained the image of a considerate classmate, but in his heart, he didn't want to get involved in Conan's affairs at all.

It was indeed good to observe the experimental target closely and gain some emotional points at the same time. But if he was asked to participate in the case, or even bring Pisker with him, and let Conan solve the case under the other party's nose, he still felt that the risk was too great.

Yin Jiu thought that if the two of them really bumped into each other, he would protect Pisk at all costs, so in order to avoid a premature end to the situation, proper isolation was necessary.
