Regarding what he should do to save his sister from the organization:
Lin Yi didn't say anything to Akemi, only telling her that she should do things as he instructed.
As for when to start saving her, Lin Yi also didn't mention it, maintaining an air of mystery in front of Akemi.
Akemi, who had little expectation, naturally didn't ask any more questions.
As for the stolen watches, Lin Yi would take care of the whole process. After some time, he would send money to both her and the others.
Akemi's matter could be considered closed for now.
"Hey? Ran, Yi. Have you heard about this? Three days ago, there was a very strange robbery at a shopping mall."
After class, Sonoko dragged the two of them to share a gossip.
"Oh, yes, I heard about it."
With a smile, Ran nodded and said, "It seems like lately, there's a gang of thieves who have been attacking shopping malls, right?"
"I read in the newspaper, this robbery seems different from the previous ones," said Lin Yi. "It seems there were two gangs of thieves who had their eyes on the same shopping mall, and in the end, they clashed... The police found the guards and four thieves tied up in the security room."
"Yes, yes!" Sonoko quickly nodded and continued, "The most incredible thing is that the gang of thieves that fought each other didn't steal the jewelry, but the watches."
"Watches?" Ran exclaimed, then showed a confused expression. "But why steal watches?"
"Incredible, right?!" Sonoko tapped her chin and said, "Could it be that the jewelry at the mall was too cheap and didn't catch the thieves' attention?"
"Maybe... If the jewelry isn't pretty, even if they steal it, they won't be able to sell it, right?" Ran nodded, thinking that was very likely.
"Ah... I'm really curious," Sonoko said excitedly, "I've seen a lot of pretty jewelry, but I've never seen jewelry so ugly that even thieves wouldn't want to steal it."
"How about this, Ran? After class, let's go to that shopping mall to see what's going on."
"Yes, yes, I want to see why the thieves didn't take the jewelry."
Ran, full of expectation, looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Yi, do you want to go with us to see?"
"No, better not. You two go ahead."
Although it seemed a bit strange for a conversation about a robbery to turn into a shopping trip, upon hearing that they would go to the mall, Lin Yi decided to decline the invitation.
Seeing jewelry so ugly that even thieves wouldn't want to steal it was enough for them to go into shopping mode.
Shopping is a woman's thing, why would a man stick his nose into that?
Finally, the time to leave class arrived.
Lin Yi grabbed his backpack and headed home.
Over the past three days, Lin Yi had already handled the stolen watches—that is, he had bought them with his own money.
Those watches were kept by Lin Yi, since they were stolen goods, and he wouldn't need them at the moment.
Once Lin Yi "had money," he arranged for Yoshino to transfer to Teitan High School, where she could start a new life, make more friends... and it would be ideal if she could bring home some pretty classmates.
Lin Yi changed into casual clothes and then headed to the Mouri Detective Agency.
Why go there?
Because that place was the center for criminal case publications.
More than ninety percent of homicide cases were related to the Mouri Detective Agency.
If Lin Yi wanted to accumulate more golden boxes, naturally, he would go look for Mouri Kogoro.
After knocking on the door of the detective agency, Mouri Kogoro, who was sitting idly with a cigar in his hand, saw him and greeted, "Hey, are you here to see Ran? She hasn't returned yet."
"No, I came to see Uncle Mouri."
Lin Yi smiled and, as he spoke, raised a bag he was carrying. "Recently, a friend gave me a bottle of Sōchūbai, and since I know you're a connoisseur of drinks, I brought it for you."
He placed the bag on the table, and Mouri Kogoro, seeing the bottle of Sōchūbai wrapped in an elegant package, couldn't help but take it out. The packaging alone seemed to be worth between three and four hundred thousand yen.
Since the first time Lin Yi came with some extremely expensive melons, Mouri Kogoro had suspected that Ran's boyfriend was a very rich man.
Since he was courting his daughter, it was normal for him to make a gesture.
Of course, Mouri Kogoro didn't hesitate to accept the gift.
Raising a daughter hadn't been easy, what was wrong with accepting a present?
Mouri Kogoro admired the wine and, after swirling it in his hands a few times, nodded: "Indeed, it's a good wine..."
With the craving in mind, Mouri Kogoro left the bottle aside and stood up, saying, "Stay seated, I'll bring two glasses, and we'll have a drink."
"But I'm not even twenty."
"Don't say anything, and no one will know... When I was your age, I was already drinking."
Mouri Kogoro didn't care and quickly brought two glasses.
He started to pour the wine, eager to share a drink with Lin Yi.
He had been sitting in the office all day, and if he didn't find something to do, he was sure to die of boredom.
"Well... I won't be rude then."
Lin Yi didn't say more either.
One of the ways to improve a relationship with a man is by drinking with him.
Wine.
"After this drink, you'll be my brother."
Mouri Kogoro, who considered himself an expert in the art of wine, told Lin Yi: "I've already done it, just follow me."
Lin Yi, of course, was delighted. With one glass of wine, he drank what equaled three or four glasses of Mouri Kogoro.
Just when they were enjoying the moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Huh? A visitor?" Mouri Kogoro frowned. "Why now? Right at this moment... Sorry, Lin Yi. We're always busy here, I don't even have time to enjoy a good glass of wine. What a hassle."
Lin Yi smiled without saying anything.
"Come in."
Mouri Kogoro called out to the door.
The door opened, and a beautiful girl in uniform entered.
"What's going on?" Upon seeing the girl, Mouri Kogoro's eyes gleamed with interest.
The girl, seeing Mouri Kogoro's lascivious gaze, was a little scared and stood still, nervously clutching her backpack.
"Don't be nervous."
Lin Yi, noticing her discomfort, stood up with a smile, showing a friendly attitude as he approached her. "If you have something to say, sit down and we'll talk... Would you like a coffee?"
Upon seeing Lin Yi, the girl felt the tension completely dissipate. With a bit of shyness, she lowered her head. "No… no need, just water is fine… thank you."
"Don't mention it, sit down first."
