Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

In the field of psychology, people who have helped you before will often lend you a helping hand again.

People who help you many times are more likely to obey you because they have paid too much sunk costs.

This is a psychological strategy often used to quickly build relationships.

Of course, Amuro Toru's words were 70% true and 30% false. Fujie Akiyoshi did look for him, but he had investigated the other party's background at the beginning - the man was just a scum who abandoned his ex-girlfriend for compensation, and was unwilling to regret because his ex-girlfriend became famous, and was even willing to destroy his ex-girlfriend.

This is the fact, but Amuro Toru's slight change became the best nail to break the "enemy's" heart's defense line. Sure enough, even Conan's expression when looking at him became softer.

"There's no need to say that. If it weren't for you, I would still be kept in the dark by Fujie. I never thought he was so bad." Mao Lilan clenched her fists to speak up for Yoko. "Fortunately, Miss Yoko didn't end up with him, otherwise it would be too bad."

"Yeah." Amuro Toru nodded in agreement, "I was planning to withdraw from the entertainment industry immediately afterwards, but at that time, Senior Kishimoto happened to assign Yin Jiu to me."

"Kishimoto assigned Yin Jiu to you?" Conan frowned. "Yin Jiu is an internationally renowned child star. In the Japanese entertainment industry, even if there is no senior like Kishimoto to sign her, it shouldn't be taken over by a pure novice like you, right?"

"Yes, that's right," Amuro Toru sighed silently, "But Yin Jiu is a mixed-race, and the requirement at the time was that he only take night scenes that would not affect his studies. In addition, he already has a fan base abroad, and Mr. Kishimoto thinks he is a thorn, so..."

"So this is actually an attempt to deliberately exclude him and persuade him to quit?!" Conan reacted immediately and clenched his fists in disbelief.

Amuro Toru looked at Conan in surprise. He didn't expect that this first-grade student was the first to understand the twists and turns in the story?

His eyes flickered, but he suppressed the inquiry. "Actually, I thought so at the time. I thought I could just deal with the foreign young man for a few days, but I didn't expect it to be the case. Besides, Xiaojiu's health is so poor. It's impossible for me to completely abandon him and return to work in the firm now."

"..."

Conan frowned as he listened. Amuro Toru was right. Given Yin Jiu's physical condition, it was indeed difficult for people to leave him alone at home. Moreover, Yin Jiu's guardian seemed particularly unreliable and irresponsible.

At the same time, the temporary guardian was also a very old man who was busy running around in business all day long, as if he never stopped.

With two guardians like these and Yin Jiu, who is frail and unable to take care of herself... it seems that Toru Amuro is the truly indispensable guardian.

Conan reluctantly accepted this reality and nodded.

Then he heard Toru Amuro's voice again, "But Xiaojiu's personality is too simple, and she is not suitable for the entertainment industry. In fact, if it is just about taking care of life, changing an agent can do the same, but Xiaojiu..."

"What's wrong with Xiaojiu?" Mao Lilan listened to a lot of conversations, and now when she thought of Yin Jiu, her beautiful eyes were full of worry.

"Earlier, the director of our drama hinted to me that if I could make friends with Detective Maori, it would be a great help to Yin Jiu's career." Amuro Toru sighed, "To be honest, I have been working in society for many years. When I saw Detective Maori just solved a case, I couldn't help but step forward..."

"Ah... I remember that time." Mao Lilan still remembered that the last time in Izu, Amuro Toru was very wary of them all the way. However, in the end, he unexpectedly broke his usual behavior and approached them to talk.

"Yes, that time." Amuro Toru looked directly into Mao Lilan's eyes with a sincere expression, "Yin Jiu is a very smart child. After getting in the car, he had a quarrel with me and said that he didn't want to mix anything else into friendship."

"I think what Yin Jiu did was right, but society is often not as simple as children make it out to be. Yin Jiu's behavior itself is not wrong, but it will harm the interests of the agent."

Amuro Toru paused here, his expression turned serious, "If it was another manager that day, and the other party was not open-minded, Yin Jiu's behavior might have directly offended the other party, which would not be a good thing for artists, especially those who have not yet established themselves in the Japanese star arena."

Amuro Toru said it very tactfully, and he didn't expect the two children to understand it all at once, but he felt that "sincerity" was a sure-fire move at times. He just wanted to let Yin Jiu's friends know that, out of their sight, his silly roe deer had also fought desperately for these friends.

Then, as a "comrade-in-arms" who is working for Yin Jiu's good and is on the same front with Yin Jiu's friends, he will definitely be accepted by this group.

After all, he used a "tactic" that the silly roe deer didn't want to see.

Toru Amuro's eyes darkened, and when he looked at Yin Jiu who was smiling decently on the stage, it became difficult for him to smile anymore.

"Don't worry, Xiaojiu's affairs are our affairs. I will invite him out to play often in the future so that he can get familiar with my father." Mao Lilan took a deep breath.

Conan also nodded heavily beside him.

The attitudes of the two people finally brought some comfort to Amuro Toru. After a while, he casually said, "By the way, are you two children of the Mori family? Your name is Mori Ran, and he is... Mori Conan?"

"No, I am my father's only daughter," Mao Lilan shook her head, "Conan was fostered in our house. His full name is Edogawa Conan."

"Edogawa, what a rare surname. Is he a native of Tokyo?" Amuro Toru asked curiously.

"It's me." When Conan saw Amuro Toru asking for his information, he immediately got between the two of them and answered.

"Yes, Conan is a relative of Professor Agasa," Mao Lilan smiled, and then she stretched out her fingers and put them under her chin, "But it's also strange to say that this child's parents are abroad all year round, but he seems to like Japan more and is unwilling to leave."

"Oh? Which country?"

"Probably the United States?" Mao Lilan recalled, "But it is also possible that he is traveling all over the world. His mother seems to be very busy. Last time, she was supposed to pick him up, but in less than half a day, she sent him to the Kudo couple because of something urgent."

"Mr. and Mrs. Kudo?" Toru Amuro pinched his chin. Didn't they say they were relatives of Dr. Agasa? In his heart, he labeled their words as "suspicious".

He had asked Feng Jian to check the family's information a long time ago. This child named Conan was clearly an illegal resident, but Mao Lilan didn't look like an insider. But what can be confirmed so far is that the boy's parents are both abroad, so is he a foreign-born child? Hasn't he registered his household registration yet?

Amuro Toru got a small amount of information and immediately stopped while he was ahead. He silently memorized all the inconsistencies in his mind.

It’s okay. There’s a long way to go and one day he’ll be able to find out the true face of this group of people.
