The most painful thing in life is knowing the truth, but you still have to pretend and conduct a so-called investigation.
Following Akagi Ryoko, they arrived at Akagi Hideo's apartment.
Opening the door and gesturing for him to enter, Akagi Ryoko said, "Please come in."
Then she went in first to prepare slippers.
"Wait a minute... there are signs of the lock being pried open?"
Lin Yi stopped as he was about to close the door and asked, "Is this also from yesterday?"
"Yes." Akagi Ryoko nodded, her face full of worry as she put on her slippers: "Mamoru-kun was kidnapped when the kidnappers broke in."
"Is that so?"
Lin Yi closed the door and came over, opened the shoe cabinet and looked at it, and said, "Then... yesterday, were the shoes in the entrance hall neatly arranged?"
"Huh?" Akagi Ryoko didn't quite understand the meaning of Lin Yi's question, but she still replied: "Yes... the shoes in the entrance hall were very neatly arranged."
"I see... I understand."
Lin Yi couldn't help but complain about the kidnapper in his heart.
You're really thoughtful enough to kidnap someone and even have them put on cloth shoes and put their slippers back in the shoe cabinet.
With your stupidity, it won't be too difficult to catch you.
Lin Yi took off his shoes and put on his slippers: "Let's go into the living room and take a look."
After entering the living room, Akagi Ryoko hurriedly said, "Would you like something to drink?"
"Just give me a glass of water... Is Mamoru-kun's room over there?"
Lin Yi pointed in a direction and said.
Actually, without asking, Lin Yi knew where the room was. He wasn't stupid, the apartment was so small, how could he not know?
Asking like this was just to show that he was polite.
"Yes." Akagi Ryoko nodded.
"Then I'll go take a look."
Lin Yi strode forward and soon arrived in front of a room door.
He pushed open the door to a room with a sign that read "Akagi Mamoru" and looked inside. It was very messy.
It was obvious that someone had deliberately made this room so messy.
Not only were all the small things thrown on the ground, but even the big things, even the bed, were lying on the ground.
This made Lin Yi feel a little speechless. Are you kidnapping or robbing?
You made the room so messy, did you fight the target for three hundred rounds? And only after winning a move did you catch him?
The person you kidnapped was Akagi Mamoru, right? Not Sun Wukong, right?
Even if you're robbing, why the hell are you rummaging through a child's room?
Did you think there would be valuables in a child's room? Or are you after his secret stash of money?
Seeing the room in such a mess, Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head.
Even if Lin Yi didn't know the answer beforehand, he could still see some clues from the state of the scene.
Being a kidnapper is also a skill, and some people are destined not to be able to make a living from it.
"Lin Yi, water."
Akagi Ryoko came from the living room and handed Lin Yi a glass of water.
Lin Yi took it unceremoniously and drank a large gulp before naturally handing the glass back to Akagi Ryoko.
Akagi Ryoko subconsciously took it and asked, "How is it? Did you see anything?"
Lin Yi looked at Akagi Ryoko and said with a smile, "I saw that… you spent 1 minute and 09 seconds pouring water for me, which means you also spent some time looking for a glass, obviously you don't come here often."
"Yes… yes." Akagi Ryoko felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Yi, and felt her face flush when she thought about him paying so much attention to her.
Ah!! Ryoko! You can't be like this!
Now is not the time to let your imagination run wild!
Shu is kidnapped right now!
How can you be thinking about these things at a time like this?
Akagi Ryoko shook her head, stopped her wild thoughts, and hurriedly looked up and asked, "Lin Yi, can you bring Shu back?"
"I can."
Lin Yi replied without the slightest hesitation.
"You can?" Akagi Ryoko was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but show a look of joy on her face: "Then… how do we find him?"
"It's not difficult… just answer one question for me," Lin Yi said.
"Yes, I will answer you no matter what the question is," Akagi Ryoko nodded vigorously.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Lin Yi smiled slyly.
"Eh~~" Akagi Ryoko was stunned when she heard this question, and then her face turned red uncontrollably. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Yi, her expression a little awkward: "This… this question doesn't seem to have anything to do with finding Shu, does it?"
"It does matter… this question determines how I feel," Lin Yi said, "A person's mood will affect work efficiency… so this question… is very important."
"I… I don't," Akagi Ryoko gripped the glass tightly with her fingers and managed to utter an answer.
"Why don't you?" Lin Yi asked curiously, "You're so cute. Chestnut-brown shoulder-length short hair, with a cute bow tied behind your hair… there should be a lot of boys chasing you, right?"
Akagi Ryoko couldn't help but touch her hair and the bow tied behind it, extremely shy: "Because… because I didn't participate in any club activities, and I go to work as soon as school is over… I'm not very sociable, so I don't have many friends."
"Is that so… those boys really don't have any taste," Lin Yi commented.
Akagi Ryoko had already been defeated by Lin Yi's continuous praise, and she lowered her head, looking like she couldn't wait to bury her head.
Her mind was already in a mess because of Lin Yi.
But soon, she reacted, looked up at Lin Yi, and said, "Now… now is not the time to talk about these things. The most important thing now is to find Shu!"
"You don't have to worry about that."
Lin Yi naturally put his hands on her shoulders, turned her around, and then pushed her into the living room: "I already have a clue."
"You have a clue?" Akagi Ryoko was surprised, but half of her attention was diverted to the fact that she was being pushed by Lin Yi.
"Yeah…"
Lin Yi nodded: "Actually, the kidnapper is obvious, it's just because you're too nervous… and you didn't sleep well last night, so you didn't think of who that person is."
"How… how do you know I didn't sleep well last night?"
Akagi Ryoko couldn't help but look back at Lin Yi, her big eyes filled with curiosity.
A kidnapping case happened right under my nose, who could sleep? Silly girl.
"That's because your dark circles are obvious."
Lin Yi reached out and gently stroked the bags under her eyes: "It's hard not to notice."
"Is… is that so?"
Akagi Ryoko hurriedly turned her head back, her mind entering a brief period of blankness.
