章節 77: Chapter 77
"Yes," Lin Yi said, "I saw how pitiful she was... I did what I could to help her. I hope she can get back on the right path and become a good person."
"You are so kind..."
Ran was very happy but worried, she said, "It's just... you gave her so much money, is it really okay? You...?"
"Two million? It's not much... If you want, I can give you ten million a month."
"No, no." Ran shook her head quickly; she didn't want Lin Yi to think she was a money-hungry woman!
Ran was a bit curious, "How do you have so much money... you don't go to work often?"
"What does having money have to do with working a lot?" Lin Yi asked.
"This..." Ran opened her mouth but was at a loss for words.
Indeed, there didn't seem to be a necessary connection between the two.
"Now it's your turn, what did you do this afternoon with Sonoko?"
"We didn't do much... just went shopping... oh, don't do that!"
"I do what I..."
"Talk... keep talking."
"No... so annoying..."
"..."
————————————
In a dark file room, the light from a computer screen illuminated Dr. Agasa's face, making him look grim.
He had been staring at the screen for three hours, unable to resist the invasion of sleep, and began nodding off.
Creeeak~~
The door opened, and a source of light entered.
Conan approached the workstation, nudged the dozing Dr. Agasa, and said, "Doctor... go to sleep, I'll take over."
"Ah... oh."
Dr. Agasa rubbed his sleepy eyes and, without trying to be brave, said, "Alright... I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to bed."
Dr. Agasa left the file room while yawning, closing the door behind him. The room was once again plunged into darkness, illuminated only by the faint glow of the computer monitor.
Conan sat in the chair, adjusted the seat height, and began to attentively watch the computer screen.
Why do programmers like working in dark rooms without even turning on the lights?
Studies show that staring at a bright light source at night delays a person's sleep cycle. This allows you to work without feeling tired, improving your concentration.
Conan was using this method to stay awake longer.
Dr. Agasa had already retrieved surveillance videos from the Tropical Land amusement park, but the parking lot was large, and Conan didn't know when the two men in black left or through which exit.
He had no choice but to use the most tedious method: checking video by video.
Since this was crucial for him to return to being Shinichi Kudo, Conan was extremely focused.
While reviewing the videos, suddenly his watch beeped.
Conan looked at the watch and saw that it was already midnight.
"That's right... today is Valentine's Day, isn't it?"
Conan pressed his watch and murmured, "Tomorrow... I'll call Ran. I haven't talked to her in a while."
Thinking about Ran going out with Lin Yi, Conan frowned. On matters of women, men understand men better: "I have to remind Ran to be careful with that guy..."
The next day, Sunday morning.
Lin Yi initially planned to gather the three of them first to see if something could spark between them.
If he managed to create a spark, they would probably spend the second half of the day in a hotel, rather than attending a singles party.
However, after calling the girls, both said they had things to do.
Lin Yi was confused, what could be more important than spending time with the three of them?
Out of curiosity, Lin Yi used his crystal pendant to investigate and found Ran and Sonoko shopping at the supermarket.
"I haven't even washed my face and they're already at the supermarket. Seems like I've become lazier lately."
Lin Yi murmured, looking at the shopping cart's contents: cocoa powder, cocoa butter, sugar, milk...
Turns out, they were buying ingredients to make chocolate.
Lin Yi understood and immediately felt he shouldn't have looked because now the surprise they were preparing would no longer be a surprise.
Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately stopped the "surveillance."
If you know everything, then a future without surprises wouldn't make sense.
He had no idea what they would write on the chocolate.
After washing up, Lin Yi continued with his exercise routine.
Lately, thanks to the medicinal wine, he wasn't suffering from muscle pain and had maintained his exercise routine.
In a week, his arms, once pale and soft, already showed signs of musculature. Soon he would stop being a flabby boy to become a muscular man.
——————————
At eleven in the morning.
Lin Yi met promptly with Ran and Sonoko.
Both carried bags, evidently with chocolates inside.
Lin Yi pretended not to know anything and conversed with them.
"When will they come?"
"Mr. Minagawa said he'd come by car to pick us up... Oh, there he is, across the street."
Across the street, a handsome man stood next to a big and intimidating muscular man.
The two people, who were initially happy to see them, felt a bit uncomfortable when they saw a handsome guy next to Ran.
Even though Sonoko had told them in advance that a handsome guy would come with them.
But if Minagawa Katsuhiko had known in advance that the other party was such a handsome guy, he would definitely have found a way to refuse.
The appearance of Lin Yi made Minagawa feel quite uneasy. He was the organizer, he was the protagonist; how could a secondary character be more handsome than the protagonist? This goes against the rules.
But now it was impossible to send the guy back.
Anyway, he had dug his own grave and had to lie in it, crying if necessary.
The muscular man's name was Toshihide Wakamatsu, and, like his name, his mind is incompatible with his appearance.
Although he looks like a tall and tough guy, he doesn't have many objections to Lin Yi's arrival.
He knew he was on the masculine route, not relying on his face, but on his muscles.
And Lin Yi follows the handsome guy route; the two are not the same type at all.
There was no conflict, so there was naturally not too much dislike, it was just slightly unpleasant.
As for why? He didn't know either.
"Miss Sonoko, Miss Ran... Hello."
Minagawa first smiled and greeted Sonoko and Ran.
But when facing Lin Yi, Minagawa put on a contemptuous face, hoping the other would be smart enough to read the expression on his face and then back off.
Unfortunately, in Lin Yi's eyes, Minagawa was nothing more than a secondary character whose fate was in his hands.
If he was happy, he might spare his life.
If he was unhappy, then the other could only die with a smile, accepting his fate.
Based on the other's current behavior, Lin Yi was quite unhappy. There's a ninety percent chance he'll die, and the other ten percent is if Lin Yi has a moment of compassion.
