Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Chapter 509 Yin Jiu: This is probably what a person who breaks down looks like.

Bourbon's cold laugh was very soft; if it weren't for being extremely close, an average person's hearing would not be able to hear it clearly at all.

Yin Jiu silently sensed Bourbon's emotional state: "..." This is probably what it's like when someone's defenses are broken.

When it comes to turning 'meritorious service' into 'atonement,' subordinates need time to mentally prepare themselves.

Carrying fishing gear and an umbrella, Yin Jiu walked ahead with a normal expression, silently catching up with the crowd.

Ai Haibara frowned when she saw Yin Jiu's lonely figure and glanced behind the boy. "Where's your manager?"

That bourbon has been slacking off all day; she's never seen such an incompetent guardian.

Since accepting Sherry's identity and encountering a series of dangerous situations with Conan, Sherry has suffered a lot of hardship and finally realized the importance of the organization's constant protection.

Japan is still too dangerous. Yin Jiu's identity is so sensitive and he has so much money to be made. What if he gets targeted by criminals or is accidentally injured by thugs?

"He's getting the props in the back. He'll be out in a bit." Yin Jiu didn't say much, and as usual, patted the little girl's head before continuing forward. "We'll find the fishing spot and wait for him. He'll come over on his own."

If Gin isn't satisfied with his insults and calls back to yell at people later, at least he won't become a laughing stock in front of outsiders.

Yin Jiu's eyes were filled with a tolerance that Haibara Ai couldn't understand.

Xiao Jiu seems to get along quite well with his manager.

Haibara opened her mouth, wanting to remind Yin Jiu that she couldn't completely trust Bourbon either, as being too lenient with other team members could sometimes lead to trouble.

However, thinking of Yin Jiu's awkward situation in the organization, and considering that although she had been quite resistant to surveillance personnel in the past, she was still well protected, Ai Haibara silently shut her mouth again.

Well, something is better than nothing. Bourbon may not be genuinely good to Yin Jiu, but at least he won't harm her before the organization gives the order... And if she works harder, once she has a strong foundation in the organization and a high enough rank, she should be able to protect Brother Yin Jiu.

Haibara clenched her small fist and waved it lightly towards the cabin, only to have it caught by a cold, pale hand.

"What are you doing?" I have a feeling this kid is thinking about something weird.

Yin Jiu was speechless, and subtly flicked her fingers in the air a few times, clearing away all the strange, unknown emotional points.

Then, he led Ai Haibara to a spot where they wouldn't be in direct sunlight to sit down and prepare to fish. "Let's bait our spot here," he said.

Yin Jiu set up the bucket and looked up to see Amuro Tooru had already followed. She then sprinkled two handfuls of fish food into the bucket and waved to him, "Toru-ge, over here."

"Here?" Amuro Tooru, holding the remaining fishing gear, turned his head to look at the area where Yin Jiu had scattered fish food, then hesitated and looked around a few times.

This is a spot near the inner side of the harbor, dimly lit, and several seats away from the outermost edge.

Fishing here?

Those fish that were caught were probably all people who had slipped through the net.

Amuro Tooru gripped the fishing rod with a lack of confidence, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He thought to himself that if Yin Jiu couldn't catch any fish later, he would secretly buy a few and hook them onto Yin Jiu's hook.

Ai Haibara completely trusted Yin Jiu's decision and without hesitation pulled the shortest pole from Amuro Tooru's basket and squeezed to Yin Jiu's side.

"Are there already fish coming?"

Ai Haibara had baited her hook and was about to cast it when she saw several inconspicuous small black and gray fish swimming up and down where Yin Jiu had just thrown the bait.

“Yes, they have a very keen sense of smell.” Yin Jiu wasn’t surprised at all, silently releasing the energy of her vampire charm.

"What bait are you using?" Ai Haibara suddenly noticed that Yin Jiu's fishing line looked a little strange at the end.

"You mean this? It's dough I made specially last night, with some sesame powder and white wine mixed in." Yin Jiu curled the corners of her mouth, making up a lie that was half true and half false.

On the other end, Amuro Tooru cast his line and, upon hearing the conversation, subconsciously turned his gaze to the area under Yin Jiu's float.

It was a white blob, and it looked more like the breakfast that was distributed at the hospital this morning—a rice ball.

Could it be that Xiao Jiu secretly tore off the seaweed sheet and threw the rice ball in to feed the fish?

Amuro Tooru squinted and looked at the bait a few more times with suspicion.

...It shouldn't be that bad. He remembered that Yin Jiu had indeed been quietly fiddling with something for a period of time last night.

"It's a very novel bait recipe, but adding baijiu sounds more like a Chinese custom," Amuro Tooru remarked.

"Probably..." Yin Jiu's gaze followed the fishing float as it trembled slightly on the water's surface. Before she could continue speaking, the bobbing float suddenly sank downwards.

"Here it comes!" Yin Jiu gripped the fishing rod tightly and flicked his wrist.

"It's a sea bass!" Ai Haibara watched Yin Jiu's rod and saw him pull the fish up with force. She immediately put a fishing net underneath to make sure the fish wouldn't get off the hook.

Wow! What a huge fish! It's almost overflowing the bucket!

The Junior Detective Club's seats were located quite far out, but not far from Yin Jiu.

The acquaintance was a celebrity who was recuperating and didn't want to attract attention. The children were specifically instructed to behave themselves throughout the trip.

However, since they were all traveling together in the same group, they couldn't completely ignore each other. When they saw Yin Jiu catch a big fish, they all couldn't help but stand up.

"It's only been a dozen minutes, and he's already caught a fish?" Bai Gen, who was sitting on the outermost side with Professor Agasa, was wondering why Yin Jiu wasn't sitting with them when he saw the boy over there had already caught a big fish. He couldn't help but whistle at Yin Jiu, "Wow! Kid, you're lucky! Want to have a game with us?"

"Compare?" Yin Jiu closed the lid of the bucket containing the fish and tilted her head with interest.

These three outsiders had been mingling with their team since they were on the ship. Yin Jiu had initially suspected that they were FBI agents planted in the team.

However, another speculation has emerged: "Are you professional fishermen?" Such a comparison seems to be an act of bullying the weak.

Moreover, the woman's two companions seemed to have their own ulterior motives. Yin Jiu felt that such a combination would cause trouble sooner or later. He didn't say the second half of his sentence, but his expression made it very clear.

Bai Gen on the other side quickly realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, but he laughed heartily, "Oh, those two are indeed professional players, while I'm more of an amateur. How about we have a match between the two of us?"

"The fish we catch can be processed together; my partner is quite skilled at it."

“Sounds good.” Yin Jiu pointed to the heads of the people present. All the fish caught by the children could only be handed over to Bourbon and Professor Agasa. The workload was not small.

He won a hard laborer, and although the opponent is quite likely to end up with 3 to 2 to 1, the emotional feedback is enough to make up for this flaw.
