Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Chapter 401 Yin Jiu: I didn’t expect that the person with connections was right next to me

"..."

"So this is what happened. Your adopted brother developed a high fever last night after we got home. He will probably have to stay in the hospital for a few days, so I also have my day off."

In the laboratory, Yin Jiu took off his gloves, coded the printed documents and put them into a file bag, then looked at Junerick who didn't even raise his head.

"But you have totally ignored it? Your adopted brother is obviously quite talented and has become somewhat famous. In fact, if you recognize him and train him, he might become a rising star in the investigation team in the future."

"Forget it." It was rare for Zhunerik to refuse. Seeing Yin Jiu's puzzled expression, he finally sighed, took off his gloves, and waved his hand to signal Yin Jiu to go to the office to talk.

"Have you ever heard of the cuckoo?" Before starting the topic right away, Junerick suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with cattle and horses.

"Yes, it is a kind of beneficial bird that can prey on many poisonous pests that other birds cannot." Yin Jiu answered slowly, thinking about the reason why Junerik asked him this question.

"Most species of cuckoos have nest parasitic behaviors that are different from those of ordinary birds. The young birds usually hatch first and push the host's eggs or chicks out of the nest to monopolize the resources."

"That's right. So I think you're right when you say that this kind of long bird is immoral." Zhunerik poured a cup of black tea for himself and Yin Jiu respectively, and then sat at the other end of the desk and continued, "Actually, my situation is somewhat similar to Sister Shirley's. Not long after I was born, I was handed over to the experimental base for training. During the entire growth process, when I was outside, I actually acted as the son of the Sanzhi couple."

"That couple was nominally my caregivers, but in reality they were doing more of a job like a nanny and bodyguard."

"So you want to express that you don't have any feelings for them?" Yin Jiu listened for a while, but still didn't understand what this had to do with the cuckoo bird at the beginning.

He had met Saegusa Asaka before, and she didn't look like a wealthy lady.

With such an ordinary family background, if even the Sanzhi couple themselves are dispensable to Junerick, then Junerick should not be so determined to push his adopted brother out of the nest to occupy resources, right?

Yin Jiu's confusion did not escape Junerick's eyes.

If possible, he didn't want Yin Jiu to know.

"The Sanzhi couple had a son before." Zhunerik suddenly sighed, "That child was only a little older than me, and looked a lot like the current Kinukawa."

"I was old enough to remember things at that time, and because I needed to go to school to register my parents' family information, I was placed in the care of the Sanzhi couple."

"Because I raised the children of senior members, they didn't have to participate in those dangerous missions, and the organization would also give them support. So in the beginning, they were pretty good to me."

"I was arranged to live in the same room with their son and we went to the same elementary school. They announced to the public that the youngest son of the Sanzhi family had been treated for congenital heart disease in the United States a few years ago."

"This will make it convenient for me to return to the organization from time to time to receive specialized course training."

"But you know, the organization's training model is very different from the moderate education practiced in Japan. My talent for mathematics was soon discovered by the Sanzhi couple. At that time, they did nothing but quietly paid more attention to their own son."

"So, the Sanzhi couple also hope that their children will get good grades and become someone like you?" Yin Jiu felt that this sounded familiar. Aren't these the parents in the previous life who were stimulated by other people's children and then became anxious and crazy about pushing their children to succeed?

"And then? Could it be that your adopted brother bullied you because he was scolded by your parents?"

From this perspective, it was not unfair for Junerick to be bullied.

The guy who caused him to suffer so much was right in front of him. He was only an elementary school student, so it was hard not to feel resentment towards such a culprit.

"That's not the case. It's just that Mr. and Mrs. Sanzhi took some of my child support out of their pocket."

"Enroll their son in a cram school."

Junerick took a big sip of black tea and recalled what happened back then. He said with a nostalgic expression, "What a pity. Their eldest son's talent is really mediocre, and the fact that he embezzled my child support was soon discovered by the higher-ups."

"Then what?" Yin Jiu frowned. Normally, in a situation like this, the custody rights should be taken back, right?

However, Junerick has already claimed to the school that he is the youngest son of the Saegusa family. If the custody is taken back, he will probably have to be transferred to another school. By then, he will still be in Japan but his identity will be very different. This experience may be discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

"Then, one day, that brother disappeared." Zhunerik answered the question in Yin Jiu's mind. The boy clapped his hands together, making the gesture of slapping a mosquito to death.

“…” Yin Jiu fell silent.

What a poor kid!

His parents embezzled public funds to feed him a lot of spiritual food, but he didn't enjoy any of the "blessings" and lost his life.

"...This operation is indeed a bit unethical." Yin Jiu took the child in and felt a little suffocated.

"Yes! You think it's immoral too, right?" Junerick slammed the table with an angry expression.

Obviously, this incident still had an impact on the relationship between the few people later.

This can also explain why, although Junerick had adoptive parents assigned by the organization, his final emotional anchor was tied to Shirley.

As a "murderer" who intermittently killed his own son, he had to pretend to continue living like a family. It is hard to imagine how "bad" Junerick's original growing environment must have been.

No wonder this guy always stays in the lab and never has time to go home.

But this also illustrates another problem.

There are code-named members in the senior management who have been paying close attention to Junerick's recent situation, and in order to ensure that Junerick's own rights and interests are not harmed, they will not even let go of the children of peripheral members.

Yin Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

When I was reading comics in my previous life, the character Junerick appeared in a special chapter. He was a code researcher who was one year younger than Shirley. He was adopted by an ordinary person after accidentally using a memory potion.

This is where the special episode ends.

And there is no scene in the main storyline where Gin or Rum searches for Junerick.

Originally, Yin Jiu thought that this was only because the special episode and the main storyline were drawn separately. With such a high talent, Junerick could be adopted and left by an ordinary person without any trouble. This was just a casual work of the author in order to complete the length of the chapter.

However, the fact does not seem to be the case. If we think about it from another perspective, was it because the top leaders tried to protect Junerek that led to such an outcome?

There was something different about the way Yin Jiu looked at Zhunerik.

Wow, I didn’t expect that the person with connections is right next to me!
