Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

In fact, Conan's original plan was to review the situation with the FBI in the evening. Having half a day to buffer the situation would allow him to think more rigorously and give him enough time to plan his next move.

However, Vermouth simply took Yin Jiu away.

Vermouth is one of the people who knows Shinichi Kudo's true identity, and she might make a move beforehand to catch him off guard.

Conan sensed the urgency and immediately informed Judy and James of the situation.

"Okay, we get it."

Judy hung up the phone, and James immediately sent someone to the Kyoto Kokugikan (National Games Hall).

At the same time, the expressions of the people in the room also froze.

“Yin Jiu didn’t bring the flowerpot this time.” Akai Hideki glanced at the locator transmitter, which hadn’t moved at all, so they couldn’t be sure of Vermouth’s situation.

“Right now, we can only access the hospital’s surveillance footage.” Shuichi Akai frowned. Vermouth could switch identities with Bourbon at any time, and judging her identity solely through video footage undoubtedly increased the difficulty.

So could it be that the organization foresaw this situation from the beginning and deliberately had Vermouth disguise herself as Bourbon?

Such a conjecture flashed through Shuichi Akai's mind:

To possess such shrewdness and yet perfectly coordinate with Vermouth... there's probably only that guy.

—It seems that Glenfiddich is always in Yin Jiu's shadow, which is not a good sign.

Shuichi Akai felt a sense of unease.

On the other end, Yin Jiu didn't actually think that much; his thoughts were very simple.

Anyway, since Bourbon and Vermouth are being switched, having the same face obviously reduces a lot of trouble.

Just like now.

With Bourbon's face on her back, Vermouth brought Yin Jiu back to her hospital room without any hindrance.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll wait for your good news."

"Ah."

Vermouth tore off her disguise mask, answered without turning her head, and her figure quickly disappeared around the corner. At the same time, a blonde with dark skin stepped into the hospital, brushed past her, glanced at the blonde beauty with a faint smile, slightly curled his lips, and entered Yin Jiu's floor.

"Did you have fun today?" Amuro Tooru had been busy all morning, barely finishing his public security duties, when he found that Yin Jiu had been sent back to her room, and his mood brightened.

It seems the child didn't encounter any cases outside today, and with Gin away on a business trip to Osaka, Yin Jiu can at least enjoy a long period of leisure.

"I'm quite happy, it's just a pity I didn't get to see the Werewolf Man's match," Yin Jiu replied honestly, pouring herself, Xiao Ju, and Amuro Tooru a glass of warm water.

"Didn't you see it?" Amuro Tooru paused, his gaze sweeping over the extra orange-colored water bottle on the table, and asked with concern, "Did something happen on set?"

With Shinichi Kudo and Kogoro Mouri together, the most likely scenario is that a murder will occur, right?

"Toru is indeed a prophet." Yin Jiu praised him and then told Amuro Tooru everything that happened at the Kokugikan. "However, I guess the culprit is not Mr. Wolf Mask. We'll ask Conan when he gets back."

"That's not that important." After listening to Yin Jiu's description, Amuro Tooru felt that he could calmly accept the current situation and was speechless at the Mori family's death god-like constitution.

"But didn't you ask Hattori Heiji out? Why haven't I heard you mention him at all?"

It's strange, really. Hattori Heiji, as a high school detective from Osaka, shouldn't be content to fall behind Kudo.

Amuro Tooru noticed the missing parts in Yin Jiu's words and asked about them.

"Oh right, we did originally plan to go with Hattori-nii." Yin Jiu paused for a moment, remembering the original plan. "So, we haven't been able to contact Heiji-nii all morning. Toru-nii, do you think he's been held up by something?"

Yin Jiu subconsciously made a confused expression. Bourbon, as a member of the investigation team, might be paying attention to the whereabouts of the only son of the Osaka headquarters director.

Bourbon did not disappoint Yin Jiu's expectations. After only a brief half-second of silence, he took out his phone and began to compose a text message.

“That’s possible, but the other person came all the way from Osaka to see you, so they wouldn’t deliberately stand you up for something so trivial.” Amuro Tooru instinctively felt that this situation was illogical.

The text message was sent to Kazami Yuya. Amuro Tooru closed his phone and couldn't help but offer a few more words of comfort, "The other party didn't inform you at all. They've probably encountered a difficult case. Maybe we'll see the news broadcast in a few hours."

After all, given his status as the only son of the Osaka headquarters manager, it's unlikely that anyone would be so foolish as to specifically target Hattori Heiji.

Given the luck of this group of high school detectives, Amuro Tooru would rather believe that Hattori Heiji was so engrossed in the case that he forgot about Yin Jiu.

What a bunch of 'unlucky' yet unexpectedly 'outstanding' guys—they might get promoted quickly if they join the Metropolitan Police Department in the future.

Amuro Toru's mood was hard to describe.

Yin Jiu was even more at ease than Amuro Tooru. After all, he was already an experimental subject modified by the research team. In some ways, Hattori Heiji was even more resilient than Conan now.

"That's true." Yin Jiu refreshed the news page on her phone several times, but nothing popped up. She quickly lost interest and started fiddling with the flowerpots, muttering to herself.

"I wish the little orange could sprout."

Taking care of just one pot of soil doesn't give you any sense of accomplishment at all.

Yin Jiu hoped that by reciting this, a kind person would appear to help him fulfill his wish, and the kind-hearted Bourbon immediately took Yin Jiu's request to heart.

So that evening, Yuya Kazami, who was investigating the whereabouts of the Minister of the Department of State's son, received a new task—to provide two newly sprouted orange tree seedlings.

Kazami Yuya: "......?" No, where is he supposed to find orange saplings in this weather? And can this kind of thing be a priority compared to the safety of the Osaka headquarters chief's son?

Amuro Tooru's decision to issue such a task seemed like a sudden whim, and Kazami Yuya secretly felt that this outrageous request was likely made by Furuya-san's 'lover'.

So, does being in love really make people less intelligent?

Horror!

-

Yin Jiu had no idea how much of a shock her small request had caused to the police force far away.

However, just before sunset, he received feedback from Bourbon about Hattori Heiji's situation.

"They actually locked him up?" Who's so blind?

Yin Jiu was greatly surprised and read the information that Bourbon had retrieved several times.

“I was also surprised that even Toyama Kazuha, who came to Tokyo to look for someone, was detained.” Amuro Tooru’s expression was complicated.

Unless the other party is completely unaware of Hattori Heiji's identity, it's too inconceivable to detain someone so blatantly.

“Then we should go rescue them. After all, Heiji came to Tokyo because of me.” Yin Jiu offered his opinion. He had other considerations. If the people who detained Hattori were related to Rum, his plans would be disrupted if they arrived too late.
