Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

"Brother Yin Jiu, why are you holding an orange all the time?" Conan had noticed long ago that Yin Jiu had been holding an orange in his hand since early morning, like a treasure. He didn't eat it nor give it to others, but just held it half-heartedly.

"You're talking about this," Yin Jiu saw that someone had finally taken the bait. In a good mood, he raised the orange in his hand and started to talk nonsense. "This is the companion I left with me in the hospital. It can effectively remove odors. Isn't it great?"

"It's quite good." It turns out it is used to remove odors. It seems that Chinese people have this habit.

Conan nodded and frowned again, but he seemed to remember that more commonly used materials were split orange peels or grapefruit peels.

"Are you asking me why it's better to peel the orange?" Yin Jiu easily saw Conan's confusion, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly strangely, "That's because he is more than just an orange."

"?"

"Didn't I tell you that he's my companion in the hospital, because Brother Tou and Chris are both very busy these days?" Yin Jiu said this with a bit of disappointment. He gently rubbed the orange peel with his thumb, his eyes gentle, as if he was petting a small pet. "So Brother Tou bought me this orange. He will stay with me in the hospital in Brother Tou's place. I named him Amuro Tachibana. Doesn't it sound good?"

"?" Conan suddenly stopped in his tracks. Hearing this, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at Yin Jiu with a strange look in his eyes. "Then, Brother Yin Jiu, are you planning to keep it forever, and not replace it or eat it later?"

"Eat it?! That's too scary." Yin Jiu's face was rarely horrified. "That's absolutely not allowed. He's my friend. Conan, how could you have such a horrible idea? Could it be that you would think of eating it when you are with your friend?"

Yin Jiu's face was pale, and he looked like he was trembling with fear because of Conan's words.

But in his heart, he nodded in agreement to such questions. As a vampire, he had felt more than once that his brothers smelled good. Even something like vodka would sometimes emit a faint aroma of milk beer.

However, when Yin Jiu's question fell into Conan's ears, it was like a thunderclap.

——'Yin Jiu's mental illness is likely to have been aggravated by the shock of Huiyuan falling into the sea, and he needs to be hospitalized for observation.'

It turned out that Yin Jiu was really seriously ill.

Conan's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he couldn't bear to look at the junior student in front of him who was completely unaware of the 'lack of rationality' of his words. "Yin Jiu, go back to your room. Have a good rest. I will help you find Dr. Zhongyuan."

"?" Yin Jiu tilted his head, seemingly unable to understand why Conan's thoughts jumped so wildly. He raised his eyebrows and began to talk to himself at Juzi, "Forget it, Conan is a patient. It's not surprising that he would suddenly ignore my problem. I should take care of him."

After saying that, Yin Jiu showed a 'loving' expression again, looked at Conan, and followed him to his room with great patience.

Conan: “…” Something bad has happened!

After sending Yin Jiu all the way, Conan was exhausted both physically and mentally, and immediately ran to Haibara Ai's room.

"Haibara! Something bad has happened! Yin Jiu's condition seems to have worsened!" Conan had just closed the door when he repeated the conversation Yin Jiu had just had with him to Haibara Ai with a grim expression.

"He seemed to think the orange was a person and even had a conversation with it!"

"Is your name Amuro Tachibana?" Haibara Ai pondered the name and felt that it sounded a bit perfunctory and not worthy of her brother Yin Jiu's academic excellence and cultural attainments.

Could it be that the organization deliberately asked Brother Yin Jiu to act like this?

Haibara Ai was questioning this in her heart, so compared to Conan's frightened face, she was much calmer. "Really? But I thought he looked normal when he was chatting with the doctor and telling us to sleep and eat well?"

"What do you mean normal? Didn't you notice that he was already holding the orange at that time?" Conan didn't agree. In fact, his eyes were still scattered to Yin Jiu and Huibara Ai. He also saw that although Yin Jiu obviously felt sympathy for Huibara, his eyes were fixed on the orange, showing a distressed expression.

So, what was Yin Jiu thinking at that time?

Are you looking into the eyes of Orange?

Conan is feeling unsure and on pins and needles?

No, I didn’t talk to Yin Jiu in detail. In fact, I couldn’t find out anything wrong with Yin Jiu. There are so many patients in the psychiatric department. What if the doctor just treats Xiao Jiu as an ordinary child with depression and ignores Yin Jiu’s real condition?

"No, I have to go find Dr. Zhongyuan."

"Wait." Haibara Ai called Conan this time. She was not sure whether Yin Jiu was acting.

The organization's record of Yin Jiu's mental condition was at most insomnia with a little depression and neurasthenia, but it was not to the extent of auditory and visual hallucinations, paranoia, or the like.

Although all the FBI personnel have apparently evacuated, they must have left some surveillance members lurking in the hospital, so it is not ruled out that Yin Jiu's current situation is a disguise deliberately arranged by the organization.

If Conan goes there rashly, he might disrupt the action team's plan. It would be terrible if Yin Jiu fails to complete the mission.

Huiyuan Ai shook her head at Conan in strong disapproval. "Yin Jiu might not even be aware of his own behavior. You're going to call a doctor without even communicating with him. It's going to embarrass Brother Yin Jiu."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Conan also considered this problem and was a little troubled. The key point was that Yin Jiu's agent and guardian were not there, and even Vermouth seemed to be very busy.

We can’t call the FBI back, right?

Conan only thought about it for half a second before he felt it was inappropriate.

Regardless of the fact that Yin Jiu and the FBI were not very familiar with each other, the fundamental reason for Yin Jiu's hospitalization this time was because Judy had taken them into the sea... Maybe Yin Jiu would be stimulated by seeing the relevant personnel.

"Forget it, let me go and check it out." Huihara Ai also felt that this matter was a bit tricky, but since Yin Jiu was so sick and still thought about arranging nutritious meals for Grace Ahara, she thought he would probably listen to her.

-

So at night, Yin Jiu saw Huihara Ai who came to look for someone with a glutinous rice ball pillow.

"What's going on? Is it your turn to be unable to sleep tonight?"

Yin Jiu held the orange in his arms and looked at Sherry, who was holding the glutinous rice balls with a numb look on her face, with a look of both amusing and helpless.

During these four nights, these two kids really took turns to suffer from insomnia.

"Well, I accidentally slept too much again." Haibara Ai did not lie this time. After realizing that Conan might get up at night to harass Yin Jiu, she changed her sleeping schedule that day and slept well in the afternoon. Now she feels very energetic.

So she naturally came to Yin Jiu. She didn't want to harass Yin Jiu, she just came to confirm whether Yin Jiu had insomnia, or whether he was seriously ill as Conan said.

"Did you sleep in too much?" Yin Jiu touched the orange, revealing an experienced expression. "After staying up too late, suddenly sleeping more can easily lead to insomnia again. Unfortunately, there's no TV in my room... How about this, I take you for a walk in the corridor?"

"...good."

Yin Jiu's tone of voice sounded normal. Huihara Ai looked hesitantly at the orange in Yin Jiu's hand, then decisively followed behind with the glutinous rice ball pillow in her arms.

"I heard from Edogawa that you named this orange Amuro Tachibana?" Haibara Ai mentioned it casually, with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"Yes, I didn't expect Conan to tell you so soon. I wanted to introduce him to you." Yin Jiu was not surprised when he heard Huiyuan Ai's question. Instead, he quickly got into the mood and showed an expression of showing off a treasure, holding the orange in front of Huiyuan Ai. "His name is Amuro Tachibana, you already know it. But I have another thing that no one has told you."

Haibara Ai:"?"

"I'm only telling you this in secret." Yin Jiu said this with a mysterious expression, "This orange can talk. It's magical, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Yin Jiu handed the orange to Huiyuan Ai's hand, and said encouragingly, "Come, say hello to him. He is now my new little brother."
