They went up to the sixth floor.
During the waiting time, Akemi couldn't stop thinking about the last question from the elevator receptionist.
She turned around and asked Lin Yi, "I still don't understand, why are you so sure that that woman is also one of the thieves?"
"Also, what if, just like us, they entered earlier, and only left after the department store closed?"
"How do I know? I know because I saw the anime!"
As for the deduction I just made, it's easy to be a 'hindsight'... Who can't find reasons from the answer?
If I were that smart, I'd already be worried about whether I should enter the University.
Lin Yi murmured to himself while saying mysteriously, "Actually, it's very simple."
"Simple?" Akemi didn't find it simple at all, as she still hadn't understood anything.
Lin Yi leaned in and, in a low voice, said, "Actually, it's like this… #￥%..."
Akemi could only hear the first part, but not the second.
"What is it?" Akemi couldn't help but get closer.
"It's… #￥%#."
"Huh?" Akemi couldn't help but get even closer, "Can't you speak louder?"
"Of course not." Lin Yi smiled softly, "Otherwise, how could I trick you?"
After saying this, Lin Yi gave Akemi a small kiss on the cheek.
Akemi immediately understood that she had been tricked.
Once again, Lin Yi had played with her!
After being continuously teased by a boy five or six years younger, Akemi felt that her pride couldn't take it anymore.
"Lin Yi! You..."
Just as Akemi was about to say something, the elevator reached the sixth floor and opened with a click, Lin Yi quickly pulled away.
"Hey, wait, don't go... I'm not finished talking yet!"
Akemi, furious, followed him.
——————————————-
Lin Yi turned on the lights in the clock area, and, along with Akemi, they both grabbed a backpack and started cleaning that area.
Normally, they should have split up and cleaned different areas to be more efficient.
However, Lin Yi insisted on following Akemi.
After what happened in the closet, Akemi's heart had opened a small window for Lin Yi...
Akemi watched as Lin Yi kept getting closer to her. She was happy but also angry: "Ah, don't get so close... go clean over there!"
"Cleaning together is faster."
Lin Yi had very thick skin, how could he leave with just those few words?
He looked at Akemi's pleated skirt and reminded her, "Your skirt... it looks like something got stained over there."
"Huh? What thing?" Akemi instinctively looked at her skirt.
"That place... you can't see it. Forget it, I'll help you."
Lin Yi said this, extended his hand inside her skirt, then gave her rear a little squeeze.
Suddenly, he realized: "Oh, sorry... I made a mistake, it was a flower."
Akemi pushed him a couple of times and said, "Enough, stop fooling around. Hurry up, gather the things and let's go... the later we are, the more problems there will be."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Yi smiled, "Then we'll go to your house and check out some of these things..."
Akemi snorted and paid no more attention to him.
Lin Yi knew this wasn't the place for romance, so he sped up his work.
Suddenly, Lin Yi paused for a moment, pulled out his phone to check the time, and frowned, "It's strange... why has that big guy taken so long? Hasn't he solved the problem yet?"
Saying this, Lin Yi called Wakamatsu.
The call was quickly connected, and Lin Yi, in a low voice, said, "What's going on? Haven't you dealt with those four kids?"
Wakamatsu replied, "It took me a little longer to get the masks... but I've caught three, one with glasses escaped, I don't know where he is... damn it, I've searched the whole floor but can't find him."
"Whole floor?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately thought of something, and quickly activated Conan's third-person view.
Everything was dark, with only a lit area up ahead.
Lin Yi observed carefully and saw two figures: weren't they the two of them?
Looking closer, Conan had a mobile phone in his hand... it seemed like he was recording.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, "Well, well! Not only did he avoid Wakamatsu's pursuit, but he also went up to the sixth floor to collect evidence of his crime!"
Impressive, impressive!
"What's going on?"
Akemi was about to turn to look at Lin Yi, but he grabbed her and pulled her toward him.
Akemi thought Lin Yi would try something with her again, and was about to resist, but Lin Yi whispered, "Don't look back... stay like this."
Akemi, confused, asked, "Why?"
Lin Yi looked down, smiled, and said, "In our village, there's an old legend... if you're facing away from the darkness and someone calls your name or you hear conversations, you must not turn around... if you do..."
"And what would happen?" Akemi couldn't help but ask.
"You'll be punished by the eyes..." Lin Yi said mysteriously.
Akemi, hearing this, snorted: "Do you think I'm scared of ghosts?"
Lin Yi smiled and said, "I think it's better if you follow me... let's go down to the sixth floor to help search, I'll take care of the other one."
The last sentence was directed at Wakamatsu.
"Search?" Akemi thought of something: "Are there more people here?"
"Yes, it's a kid... we need to catch him and stop him from running around."
Lin Yi said this while placing the backpack in the spot and added, "Soon, the big guy will come to replace me... remember... don't look back, understood?"
Akemi saw that Lin Yi insisted so much, so she nodded: "Alright... I'll follow you."
Lin Yi moved forward directly, soon leaving the lit area and disappearing from view.
In the darkness, from a distance, Conan, seeing this, couldn't help but think to himself: The male thief is gone, only the female thief remains...
When will the male thief return...? I don't know.
Maybe I can take this opportunity to immobilize the female thief with a tranquilizer dart.
Conan was a very bold person. Imagining this possibility, he decided to act.
Cautiously, he crawled forward, trying not to make any noise.
However, after crawling no more than ten meters, Conan suddenly bumped into something and stopped.
He was stunned for a moment, instinctively reaching out to touch... it was a human foot.
Conan's face changed, and now he finally knew where the male thief had
