For a high school student who is inexperienced in the world, facing a veteran at picking up girls, the result is almost self-evident.
Lin Yi just flirted a few times and had already made Akagi Ryoko's heart flutter.
"Don't you find it strange?"
Lin Yi actively pulled the topic back and said, "Yesterday, you accepted Hero's request and came to take care of Shu… nothing happened all morning, but Shu disappeared precisely when you went out to buy dinner."
"Have you ever thought about why it was exactly at this time?"
Akagi Ryoko's attention was drawn back by Lin Yi. She thought carefully for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know…"
Lin Yi continued, "On the way you left home, did you run into any acquaintances?"
"Hmm… when I left home, I ran into Mr. Kamimura Naoki near the convenience store… does that count?"
Akagi Ryoko recalled and said.
"Of course it counts…"
Lin Yi finally got the name out of her mouth, and he said, "Then now we'll go to Mr. Kamimura's house… I guess his house must be nearby."
"Yes… his house is indeed in the apartment next door. Why… are we going to Mr. Kamimura's house?"
Akagi Ryoko originally thought she was quite smart, but when she was in front of Lin Yi, she found that she was always asking questions.
"Let's talk as we walk…"
"Okay."
— — — — — — — — — — — — — —
"Judging from the neatness of the entrance, this kidnapper should be an acquaintance of Shu…"
"This… could it be?"
"Well, think about it... If you were a kidnapper, you'd just kidnap the person and leave, right? Would you bother to put their shoes on for them?"
"Oh, oh... That makes sense."
"And the mess in the room is also very strange. It's clearly a kidnapping, but it looks more like a burglary."
"If the kidnapper's initial intention was burglary, then Akagi Hideo's room would have been kept tidy."
"Everything, inside and out, is filled with disharmony. You can tell at a glance that the room was deliberately staged by someone."
"I see... I didn't notice that at all... Wait, are you saying that the kidnapper is Uemura-san?"
Akagi Ryoko said, a little belatedly.
"Yes, besides the reasons mentioned above, what bothers me the most is... in Mamoru's room, even though many things were messy, the game console on the floor was still intact, and even its position hadn't been moved much."
"So, I boldly guessed that Uemura-san should be a game enthusiast who often plays games with Mamoru, right?"
"Yes... yes." Akagi Ryoko's eyes were completely shining as she looked at Lin Yi, unable to look away.
"Right... right."
After a long while, Akagi Ryoko finally came back to her senses. She hurriedly took out an envelope from her pocket and said, "Also, this was left by the kidnapper last night."
"Your reaction seems a bit slow... You're only taking out the letter now."
The deduction has already reached this point, does he still need to look?
Looking would be a waste of his time.
He won't look.
Lin Yi pushed the envelope back.
At the same time, he was incredibly shocked by Akagi Ryoko's reaction speed. Lin Yi also realized that this girl was smart, but her reactions were just a bit slow, belonging to the type of person who is slow to realize things.
Think about it, the kidnapping happened last night, and she only came over this afternoon... and she was still carrying her schoolbag at the time.
She clearly came directly from school.
A kidnapping happened, and she still had the mind to go to school...
Impressive, girl.
"I... I... am just like this." Akagi Ryoko said, her face red, "My reactions are relatively slow, so... everyone is not very willing to play with me."
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something sad and couldn't help but lower her head.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, this child is really pitiful.
Lin Yi reached out and touched her head, saying, "If you don't mind, then I'll play with you in the future..."
Akagi Ryoko nodded lightly, her face red.
While chatting, the two arrived in front of Uemura Naoki's door.
Akagi Ryoko pressed the doorbell and called the door open.
The door opened, but it still had the security chain on, only revealing a gap the size of a palm.
"Oh, isn't this Ryoko? Why are you here... Huh? Who is this?"
Uemura Naoki had just finished greeting when his gaze fell on Lin Yi.
"Uemura-san, is Mamoru here with you?" Akagi Ryoko couldn't help but ask as soon as she came up.
"Huh? Mamoru? Why would he be here with me?" Uemura Naoki shook his head repeatedly, "I haven't seen him."
"Then open the door and let me go in and take a look."
"Not today, my girlfriend is inside, it's not convenient."
"Mamoru must be inside!! Mamoru! Mamoru! Can you hear me? Answer me!" Akagi Ryoko shouted towards the inside of the door, regardless of everything.
Uemura Naoki shouted with some guilt, "Hey, Ryoko. What are you doing? I already said Mamoru isn't inside! You're going too far, please leave!"
"You're lying!" Akagi Ryoko was about to shout again when Lin Yi pulled her aside.
Seeing Lin Yi pull her away, Akagi Ryoko said urgently, "Lin Yi!! Mamoru, Mamoru is definitely inside."
"I know."
Lin Yi nodded, signaling her to calm down, widened his eyes, and watched him show off.
Uemura Naoki always felt that Lin Yi had an annoying aura about him, and this aura was also accompanied by a strong sense of unease. He immediately said, "Nonsense..."
After speaking, he wanted to close the door.
Then Lin Yi didn't say a word, raised his foot and slammed it on the door. With a bang, the strong impact directly knocked Uemura Naoki, who was trying to close the door, to the ground.
Lin Yi kicked again, making a bang.
"Lin... Lin Yi?" Akagi Ryoko was shocked by Lin Yi's actions. She didn't expect the other party to make such a big move right from the start, which was completely different from what she had imagined.
With the third kick, Lin Yi performed a spinning kick!
Finally, with gorgeous leg skills, he directly broke the security chain.
There was only a cracking sound, and the door was kicked open.
"You... you..." Uemura Naoki looked at Lin Yi in disbelief, raised his hand and shouted, "You... you are trespassing, it's illegal! Do you know that?"
"Oh ~ ~ ~ So you know about trespassing..."
Lin Yi nodded suddenly, then unceremoniously stepped on his chest, and then he turned his head and said to Akagi Ryoko, "Okay, Ryoko... go inside and bring Mamoru out."
Akagi Ryoko "Mm"ed, and then quickly ran into the house.
Uemura Naoki's face was ashen.
