"This… This… This…"
After watching the recording, Sato Miwako and Miyamoto Yumi were both stunned on the spot.
They never expected that Takasugi Toshihiko, who looked so honest, would have such a face, or even such cunning thoughts!
This reversal shocked them so much that they didn't know what to say to express their current feelings.
After a long time, Sato Miwako came back to her senses. She frowned and said, "We have to hand this recording over to Police Inspector Matsumoto immediately!"
Lin Yi said with a wry smile, "But I don't know which one is Police Inspector Matsumoto… Otherwise, I wouldn't have looked for you."
"I know… Come with me then…"
Sato Miwako wanted to take Lin Yi to find Matsumoto Kiyonaga, but she thought about it again and felt it wasn't appropriate, so she said to Lin Yi, "You stay here, I'll call Police Inspector Matsumoto over here."
"Okay."
Lin Yi nodded and watched Sato Miwako leave.
As soon as Sato Miwako left, Miyamoto Yumi couldn't help but gossip, "Are you very familiar with Miwako?"
Lin Yi looked at Miyamoto Yumi and said, "That depends on what your definition of familiar is… Officer Sato took the initiative to invite me to dinner, do you think that counts as familiar?"
Lin Yi deliberately omitted the cause and directly stated the result, causing Yumi to misunderstand.
"What? Miwako took the initiative to invite you to dinner?" Miyamoto Yumi was surprised. Obviously caught in the trap, she exclaimed, "As far as I know, Miwako has never taken the initiative to invite anyone to dinner! At most, when she goes to eat lunch, she'll just team up with whoever's free!"
"Is that so?"
Lin Yi's expression was slightly surprised. He smiled and said, "That means we're already very familiar."
"Sorry, I don't know your name yet... I'm Yumi Miyamoto, a traffic police officer. I've known Miwako since high school," Yumi Miyamoto said.
"Lin Yi, an assistant to Detective Mori... I occasionally assist the police in solving cases." Lin Yi didn't reveal his age. When pursuing these 28-year-old girls, being too young is actually a disadvantage.
In their eyes, youth means unreliability, insufficient social experience, and not being worthy of entrusting oneself to.
"Oh... so you met at a murder scene?"
Yumi Miyamoto guessed.
"That's right," Lin Yi nodded.
"So... you're planning to pursue my Miwako?"
Yumi Miyamoto probed right away, which shows how curious she really was.
As an experienced player, Lin Yi would naturally not reveal his intentions so quickly. He said, "Love can't be forced. If two people can chat well, it means they're compatible and will naturally be together."
"Conversely, if two people can't connect, no matter how hard you try, it's useless. One party's initiative will only put pressure on the other."
Yumi Miyamoto looked at Lin Yi with some surprise, not expecting him to say such a thing. Clearly, he had a lot of experience in relationships.
However, Yumi Miyamoto's gossip soul had already been ignited, how could she let Lin Yi off so easily?
She continued to press, "I think you were chatting quite well with Miwako just now... Doesn't that mean you two are compatible?"
After asking this pointed question, a sly smile appeared on Yumi Miyamoto's face.
You want to make things difficult for me? That's not enough.
"Miss Yumi, I'm chatting well with you now... Doesn't that mean we're compatible too?" Lin Yi asked back with a different kind of smile.
Yumi was stunned for a moment, her face slightly red, and her heart beat a little faster.
Then she realized that she was being teased by the young man in front of her!
This made Yumi Miyamoto feel a little strange, and she couldn't help but re-examine Lin Yi.
He was handsome and looked stable, inexplicably giving people a sense of trust.
And from what he said just now, it was clear that he had been in many relationships.
From this point of view, he was indeed much better than that idiot Takagi.
No wonder Miwako invited him to dinner.
I just don't know what this guy's character is like, whether he's a playboy.
Hmm... I should test this guy for Miwako.
These thoughts formed in Yumi Miyamoto's mind in an instant.
"What? Do you want to pursue me?" Yumi Miyamoto crossed her arms and smiled, making her intentions clear.
"Miss Yumi, I said before... whether two people are suitable to be together will be known after spending some time together." Lin Yi completely ignored Yumi Miyamoto's move, only emphasizing, "There's no need to deliberately pursue."
When women reach the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, most of them have already abandoned their beautiful fantasies about love and have realized the truth that "plainness is true."
What they are looking for is someone who can share common topics with them.
The two people need to be on the same wavelength.
As for those who haven't realized it... then they can only continue to dream and stay single. Lin Yi never interferes with the dreams of these people.
"I see..."
Yumi Miyamoto couldn't see what Lin Yi thought of her, which suddenly aroused her competitive spirit.
She didn't think she was any worse than Miwako, she even felt that she was more feminine than Miwako.
"Then how about we find some time another day to go out for a drink?" Yumi Miyamoto took the initiative to extend an invitation.
"Of course," Lin Yi nodded and said with a smile, "I'm happy to be friends with such a beautiful girl like Miss Yumi."
He was very cautious, defining the relationship between the two as friends, and going out for a drink was also a drink of friendship.
Of course, as for what happens later... no one can say for sure.
Just as the two had exchanged phone numbers.
Miwako Sato happened to bring Kiyonga Matsumoto over.
When he saw Lin Yi and Yumi Miyamoto, he frowned and said, "Officer Sato, what is the important matter you mentioned?"
Lin Yi took the initiative to speak, "You are the bride's father?"
"Yes, I am." Kiyonga Matsumoto looked at Lin Yi strangely. He was attending his daughter's wedding, but he didn't recognize himself.
"Please take a look at this..."
Without saying a word, Lin Yi directly opened the video and handed the phone to Kiyonga Matsumoto.
Kiyonga Matsumoto took the phone and looked at it, his brows furrowed immediately, and his face became a little ugly later on.
He returned the phone to Lin Yi, suppressing his impulse. As a criminal police officer, his first reaction was to ask about the origin of the video: "How did you take this video?"
"I was dragged here by a friend to attend the wedding... but they left me to find their junior high school classmates to catch up, so I found an empty room and planned to play on my phone to pass the time... As a result, I encountered such a thing."
Lin Yi said the excuse he had already thought up.
