Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Chapter 508 Bourbon: Is Vermouth Really Favoring?

"So, can we use eggs to make a nest?" Shirane's eyes lit up.

"No, actually I think adding some salmon to the cream cake would be even better." Yin Jiu said seriously, improvising a recipe on the spot before looking down at the group of little kids who were staring at her skeptically. Her tone was confident.

"Although I don't know the underlying principle, the fish seemed to enjoy it when I did it this way before."

After all, it also carries the added charm of a vampire, so it doesn't really matter what you throw in; the small animals seem to have absolutely no resistance to this ability.

"So you didn't deliberately skip lunch again and secretly feed your portion to the fish, did you?" Ai Haibara saw right through the truth.

Yin Jiu, however, avoided the topic and tilted the umbrella away, saying ingratiatingly, "Xiao Ai, you should also pay attention to sun protection. Look, you're all sunburned. That's not good for your skin."

“But Xiao Jiu, it’s not right not to eat.” Dr. Agasa could see that Ai Haibara was completely helpless with Yin Jiu, and seeing the little girl hesitate, he consciously continued the conversation.

"How could that be? I've been eating properly as instructed by the doctor." With the intervention of an 'elder,' Yin Jiu immediately became obedient, revealing an innocent expression.

A vampire's diet consists of blood, and he drinks blood regularly, so it doesn't count as starvation.

"Alright." With Yin Jiu showing such an expression, Professor Agasa could only leave disappointed.

Strangely enough, Yin Jiu looked like a well-behaved and model student, but Professor Agasa instinctively felt that this child was even more difficult to deal with than Shinichi Kudo when he was a child!

This sense of dislocation made the old man's face look completely contorted.

"Don't worry, I've been eating with Tou Ge all this time. If you're still worried, you can check with him."

Anyway, Vermouth was watching him drink the blood bag, and Bourbon wasn't there, so it was impossible for him to expose his lie rashly.

Yin Jiu felt no burden at all. Seeing that Professor Agasa's expression had relaxed, she immediately fled towards her cabin. "Tou-ge, we're almost at shore. You can get ready to disembark now."

-

Amuro Tooru, who was deeply reflecting in his room, spent the entire morning recalling the details of his conversation with someone by the flowerpot during this period. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable pressure coming from above his head, and he touched his head.

"My hair has been falling out more and more lately, am I really going bald?"

"It's all Vermouth's fault. She's been sitting there doing nothing, and she didn't even notice the FBI's wiretapping devices after spending so much time with Xiao Jiu."

Clang!

Yin Jiu violently pushed open the cabin door, and the boy staggered as he turned around, locked the door, and let out a long sigh while clutching his chest.

"what happened?"

Amuro Tooru removed his hand from patting his head, feeling a sense of relief. No matter what kind of trouble it was, the crows' antics could be dealt with, but if he really went bald, then there would be no hope at all.

"Pack your things, Tou-ge, we'll be docked soon." Yin Jiu packed his things while looking outside. "Conan and the others are terrifying. Now they even control my meals. It's like they're possessed by Vermouth and Gin."

"That's because you're such a handful," Amuro Tooru retorted irritably, and then started tidying up as well.

Thinking about Yin Jiu's increasingly abnormal medical report... If he hadn't been certain that Vermouth would be watching Yin Jiu eat obediently, he would definitely have been even more anxious than Shinichi Kudo.

"You can't say that. Aren't I trying my best to cooperate with the treatment?" Yin Jiu wouldn't admit her own problem. Seeing that Bourbon had been successfully led astray by her, she curled the corners of her mouth.

"The doctor's orders were for me to have more contact with the outside world. You see, if I were more 'easygoing,' these orders wouldn't have been followed."

"..."

Yin Jiu's words seemed to make a lot of sense. Amuro Tooru was about to refute them when he suddenly felt the machine in his hand vibrate.

"Wait a minute." Bourbon gestured for him to wait, stopped what he was doing, and stood in the far corner of the room.

a long time--

Amuro Tooru hung up the phone with a livid expression and returned to his seat.

“Alright, with this compound bait, we’ll definitely be the group that catches the most fish.” Yin Jiu put down the box, squeezed the bait she had prepared in advance, and glanced at Bourbon’s expression out of the corner of her eye.

Bourbon probably just got a hard time from Gin.

It seems that although she didn't directly report him, Vermouth didn't let Bourbon off the hook either, and she acted quite quickly.

Yin Jiu deliberately downplayed the issue, thought for a moment, then took out an Alpenliebe lollipop from the drawer and handed it to Bourbon, saying, "Brother Tou, don't be depressed. You've been cooped up in your room all day."

"It was wrong of me to make you leave the hospital and come with me to enjoy the sea breeze, but today is Professor Agasa's birthday, and we owe him a favor about the Water-Repelling Pearl, so it would be better to accept his invitation no matter what."

"That's not the reason." Amuro Tooru took the lollipop from Yin Jiu and sighed helplessly. What was this kid thinking? How could he possibly hide in his room and sulk over something like this?

He stayed in his room to prepare for his 'mistake' of not reporting the bugging device, but Bourbon didn't expect Vermouth to act so quickly.

Just like a perfect timing, it 'coincidentally' delivered the message to 'that person' a step ahead of him.

Yes, Bourbon simply did not believe that Vermouth would secretly share such a meritorious "good thing" with Gin.

The 'result' has definitely reached the highest level of government, and the fact that he received this call is merely an appetizer before the higher-ups have figured out how to punish him.

Thinking of this, Bourbon's gaze turned sinister. He turned his back to Yin Jiu, put the net into the fishing bucket, and organized his thoughts:

He didn't believe that Vermouth had suddenly decided to give him a 'surprise gift' by taking advantage of their switch and having no grudge against him.

Rather than this speculation, he preferred to believe that Vermouth did it on purpose.

After all, that woman had been quite kind to Yukiko Tengfeng's son. If the bugging was exposed, the Mori and Kudo families might all be placed under the organization's surveillance.

In other words, Vermouth may have actually discovered the bugging device much earlier, but chose to keep it hidden until he turned over the flowerpot...

Someone else in the organization noticed the anomaly, and the secret of the bugging device could no longer be kept hidden. That's why they revealed it when Yin Jiu and Conan were on the same boat.

The purpose was to 'kidnap' Yin Jiu's life in order to protect Conan, who was also on the ship.

If this is the explanation, then the timing being "time-limited" makes perfect sense. Grace Ehara was always by the side of that shrunken detective, keeping a close eye on Yin Jiu and the FBI's movements.

If the two are linked, Vermouth could predict when he will send the report and deliver the information directly to that person before he does, bypassing the superior verification team.

Before contacting that person, Bourbon could only submit the report to Rum, Gin, or Glenfiddich. There was no way he could submit the document before Vermouth.

Bourbon did not lose because of his actions or his disguise, but he was genuinely outclassed by Vermouth in terms of rank.

"hehe."

Bourbon suddenly couldn't help but chuckle softly.

That's quite a clever plan.

How could Vermouth, the son of a close friend, be so biased towards one over the other?
