Akagi Mamoru was found from Uemura Naoki's house, and Akagi Ryoko also called Akagi Hideo to report that he was safe.
As for how the two of them wanted to deal with Uemura Naoki, Lin Yi didn't interfere, he was too lazy to waste time on that.
After solving the matter, Akagi Ryoko wanted to express her gratitude to Lin Yi, so she planned to treat him to a meal.
Lin Yi righteously refused; "There's no need to treat me to a meal."
"How can that be?" Akagi Ryoko felt very apologetic.
Just kidding, how could she go to dinner now?
Bringing a kid? It would be difficult to do anything.
"But I still have things to deal with… How about this?" Lin Yi pretended to ponder, then said, "How about you treat me to a meal another day when I have time?"
"Um…" The simple-minded Akagi Ryoko didn't think too much. She nodded and gave her phone number, saying, "This is my phone number… Please, you must let me treat you to a meal, otherwise I'll feel bad."
"Okay."
Lin Yi saved Akagi Ryoko's phone number.
"Then I'll go first…"
Lin Yi waved and left smartly.
As a Casanova, one must have accurate vision and seize opportunities well.
Now that her favorability has increased, he would ask her out alone tomorrow, create an atmosphere, and then he could capture her.
Back at the Mouri Detective Agency, Mouri Kogoro was already flushed with drink. He asked, "Why are you back so soon? What happened?"
Since Lin Yi hitched a ride both ways, he greatly shortened the time. The most time-consuming part was the trivial matters in between.
Even so, it didn't even take an hour in total.
"It was a misunderstanding~~~" Lin Yi shrugged. "Her friend took her younger brother to her house to play. They originally left a note at home, but the cat knocked it under the table…"
"I told you, right?" Mouri Kogoro hummed. "It's all trivial little things. I knew it all along."
Lin Yi just smiled and didn't say anything.
He had a few drinks with Mouri Kogoro, and after he got himself drunk, Lin Yi began to pry.
Yes, no, yes.
Lin Yi began to pry information from Mouri Kogoro.
Of course, he didn't have any feelings for Mouri Kogoro himself. He was a healthy and normal male who was only interested in women.
Some smart readers have already guessed it, yes.
Lin Yi was inquiring about Eri Kisaki's information from Mouri Kogoro's mouth, to prepare for future conquests and Oyakodon.
Mouri Kogoro was already drunk, completely drunk. He said whatever Lin Yi asked, simply without reservation.
Lin Yi secretly noted down this information.
At six o'clock, Ran came back humming a little tune.
Clearly, after shopping, her energy was greatly replenished.
"I'm back!" After Ran opened the door of the agency, she saw Mouri Kogoro leaning on the sofa, sleeping drunkenly.
"Yo, you're back, Ran." Lin Yi greeted Ran with vigor.
"Dad!! You dragged Yi to drink with you again!"
Seeing this, Ran's original happy mood vanished instantly.
She put down her schoolbag, then went over to look at the bottle of wine on the table, and then looked at Lin Yi: "Yi, did you give this to Dad?"
Lin Yi denied, "No, a client specially sent it over to thank Uncle Mouri."
"Really?" Ran looked at Lin Yi with suspicious eyes.
However, how could Lin Yi be defeated by Ran's gaze?
He said calmly, "Um… and I haven't been here for long either."
"Is that so?"
Ran came to Lin Yi's side and sniffed him. She indeed didn't smell much of alcohol, and she couldn't see any signs of Lin Yi drinking.
Through visual and olfactory judgment, Ran finally believed what Lin Yi said.
"Dad is really… drinking during the day…" Ran couldn't help but complain as she looked at Mouri Kogoro. She walked over and smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
"Yi, help me take my dad back to his room."
"Okay."
With their combined efforts, they quickly helped the drunken Mouri Kogoro to his bedroom on the third floor.
They casually threw him on the bed, and Ran was too lazy to care about him anymore.
"Um? Ran, is this your room?"
Lin Yi curiously entered the room next door.
"Um… there's nothing to see."
Ran was a little shy, grabbed Lin Yi's arm, and tried to stop him from going inside.
As a result, she was pulled in by Lin Yi instead.
"Indeed, there's nothing to see."
Lin Yi pinned Ran against the wall, closed the door with his foot, and said, "Then let's take a look at you…"
Seeing the gleam in Lin Yi's eyes, after cooperating and clapping so many times, how could Ran not know what he was thinking?
Her cheeks flushed red, Ran reached out and tried to push Lin Yi away, whispering, "No… Dad is next door, it wouldn't be good if he heard."
Lin Yi blocked Ran's pushing with his strong chest muscles. He said, "Uncle Mouri is already drunk, he can't hear… Come on."
"No… In short, we can't do that kind of thing at home."
"If you say no, then no? Wouldn't I lose face?"
"No… Wuu wuu wuu."
… … … …
Mouri Kogoro had a dream.
He dreamed that he had returned to high school.
On the way home, he encountered a young punk harassing a high school girl, cornering her against a wall and preventing her from leaving.
Back then, he was the ace of the judo club, with excellent martial arts skills and a very short temper.
Without much thought, he rushed forward to rescue the girl.
"Let go of that girl!"
Mouri Kogoro shouted, dropping his bag, but when he saw the punk's face, he was stunned. Wasn't that the Lin kid?
He subconsciously looked at the high school girl and realized it was his own daughter, Ran!
This left Mouri Kogoro dumbfounded.
However, the Lin kid didn't seem to recognize him. Seeing him approach, he kicked him to the ground.
Mouri Kogoro tried to get up, but for some reason, he couldn't manage to stand.
He could only watch helplessly as Lin Yi hit Ran.
Hitting her top and then her bottom, and after hitting her bottom, turning Ran around to continue hitting her.
Ran could only let out pitiful cries of, "Wuu... Wuu... Don't... Please stop."
Mouri Kogoro felt very angry. How could a boy bully a girl?
He gritted his teeth and, with all his strength, stood up from the ground.
Then, he yelled at Lin Yi, "Stop it!!"
As soon as he shouted this, Mouri Kogoro suddenly felt the world shift.
He found himself lying in bed. Then, he looked around blankly, realizing he was in his own room. He slowly sat up, rubbed his aching head, and frowned, thinking, "Huh? What dream did I just have? Why... can't I remember anything?"
Looking at the alarm clock, it was already past ten at night.
