Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

"Great-grandmother, isn't that the one who is already over 90 years old..." Toru Amuro had just found out that the old person that Yin Jiu really wanted to visit was actually the old lady with Alzheimer's disease, and turned his head in surprise.

"Over 90 years old? Isn't that older than me?" Dr. Agasa also pointed at himself, his eyes widened.

"Yes, the old lady is the young lady's mother. It is quite rare for her to live to this age in good health." The gardener nodded and sighed silently. "When the young lady had an accident, the old lady happened to be living outside because of illness, so she escaped. However, because the incident was too much of a blow to her, her memory is often confused now. If you meet her later, don't mention that the young lady has passed away."

"Oh, I see." Dr. Agasa looked towards the other end of the castle with a hint of sympathy in his eyes and nodded in agreement.

Conan's attention had already shifted to other places. He moved closer to the jade pendant in Yin Jiu's hand and touched the pattern on it. "Brother Yin Jiu, what is drawn on this jade pendant? It looks like a bird?"

"This one." Yin Jiu lowered his head and took a closer look at the bird on the jade pendant. "This is a black bird, a bird with black feathers."

"A bird with black feathers?" Conan pondered the word. "Doesn't that mean crow?"

"No, the Xuanniao is a creature that exists in ancient Chinese mythology." Yin Jiu shook his finger with an unfathomable expression, "Have you heard of 'the Xuanniao descended from heaven and gave birth to the Shang Dynasty'? People in ancient times believed that the king's power was granted by God. The royal family of the Shang Dynasty believed that their ancestor was a Xuanniao, so the Xuanniao was the totem of the Shang Dynasty at that time."

"Totem?" Conan blinked and immediately searched the history of China in his mind. He actually recalled something in the corner of his consciousness, "Brother Yin Jiu's last name is Yin. Are you a member of the royal family left over from the Shang Dynasty?"

"I don't know about that. After all, the Shang Dynasty is a long time ago." Yin Jiu shrugged and threw the jade pendant back into his pocket. "But this jade pendant may be an heirloom from my mother's family. Selling it to a museum should bring a lot of money."

"Hello..."

“That’s such a pity!” Several members of the Junior Detective Team were following nearby, and when they heard Yin Jiu’s description, they immediately put their heads close to Yin Jiu.

"So Brother Yin Jiu is not only a British nobleman, but also a Chinese prince!" Ayumi's eyes were shining, and then she thought of Huibara Ai, "Then Huibara is also a princess?"

"Habara-san should not have any blood relationship with Brother Yinjiu's mother." Mitsuhiko pondered, and then became a little dejected, as if no matter whether Haibara Ai was a princess or not, there was a deep gap between his status and hers. "..But in the future, Haibara-san should marry a prince, or other noble sons."

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are getting off topic." Conan pulled his friends back to their distracted thoughts.

Toru Amuro listened in, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Another foreign nobleman?

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the little girl who was hiding under the hood. The girl's hands were clenched into fists, and one could even see them trembling slightly.

Yin Jiu was right, this child was indeed a little shy.

Amuro Toru withdrew his gaze and decided to get some information from the other little rascals. He pretended to be curious and leaned over to get close to Mitsuhiko. "You said Ai would marry another noble son, so she should also be a British noble?"

"Of course..." Mitsuhiko raised his head proudly and was about to speak, but his left hand was held by a cold little hand.

Grayhara...

Mitsuhiko's whole body stiffened for a moment and he immediately shut his mouth.

That’s right! This big brother named Amuro is a bad guy!

He will bully Brother Yin Jiu!

Mitsuhiko was suddenly startled and cautiously protected Haibara Ai behind him and retreated to the back of the crowd.

Ayumi was also confused for a moment, but she immediately reacted and stood in front of the few people.

Amuro Toru: “?”

He lowered his eyes to look at Conan.

"Hehe." Conan scratched his head guiltily, then resolutely went to Yin Jiu's side, and said in a childish voice, "Brother Yin Jiu, I'm so tired. Can we go back to the room and rest quickly?"

"Yeah, yeah! We're tired too!"

"Yeah, I'm a little hungry."

When the children saw Conan's actions, their eyes immediately lit up and they started to cooperate.

"Of course no problem." Yin Jiu had a smile on his face. He glanced at Amuro Toru, whose face had turned slightly dark due to frustration, and signaled the gardener to take him back to the room.

"The portraits of the former master and his wife are hung in this hall." Although the gardener was taking a few people back to the house, he still introduced them, but his speed was much faster. "The former master is the designer of the garden and the castle. Before he died, he said that if anyone could crack the code he left behind, he would give the most precious gift in the castle to that person."

"Secret code?" Conan, who was in a hurry, suddenly braked when he heard this word.

"It's the secret code of the chess pieces in the garden." Jian Kongman popped out from somewhere again, "But after so many years, no one has been able to crack it, and the family's financial situation is still pretty good, so now except for the young master, no one cares about it anymore."

"Is there a little master?" Dr. Agasa raised an appropriate question. He did not see any signs of children's activities.

His doubts were soon explained.

"Look, that's the guy!" Jian Kongman led the man into the room. From the window, one could see the layout of the chessboard in the garden. In the corner of the garden, there was a young man in his 20s, who was touching one of the chess pieces with one hand and holding his chin with the other hand as if thinking carefully. "He is my wife's only son and my stepson. He came back from studying abroad a year before my wife passed away and settled down here."

Conan: "Then where was this young master when the accident happened?"

"It seems like he is traveling abroad?" Jian Kongman was not sure.

"That...."

Conan wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Mitsuhiko and Genta in unison, "Conan, do you want to eat something? There is beef jerky here!"

"Yes, Conan, weren't you guys very tired just now?" Dr. Agasa had been standing between Haibara Ai and Amuro Toru. Now he felt his clothes being pulled tighter and tighter on his back, so he had to frown and urge Conan.

"Actually..." Conan instinctively wanted to refuse Dr. Agasa, but as soon as he turned his head, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Amuro Toru's calm eyes and a hint of scrutiny deep in his eyes. It was as if a bucket of ice water was poured on his head, and Conan slammed on the brakes.

This person...

Conan's tone suddenly changed, "Doctor? I'm so hungry~"
