After returning to the Mouri Detective Agency, Kogoro Mouri happily started drinking beer directly, plus Lin Yi was flattering him from the side.
So in less than half an hour, he drank five cans by himself, and then fell asleep on the table, snoring loudly, he really was a talent.
"Dad is really… drunk again."
Ran complained as she began to clean up the table.

"Dad is really… drunk again."
Ran complained as she began to clean up the table.
"If he's happy, you should let him drink a little more," Lin Yi said.
"The problem is, he always drinks this much!" Xiaolan said, quite dissatisfied.
"Then I have nothing to say." Lin Yi didn't plan to speak up for Mouri Kogoro anymore. Who told him he hadn't left Xiaolan with a good impression when it came to drinking?
Xiaolan turned around and gathered the empty cans.
Suddenly, Lin Yi thought of something. He opened his mouth and said "Ah" a few times, then said, "Lan! Bring me two more cans of beer!"
"No way! You've already had so much… If you keep drinking, you'll… Huh?"
Xiaolan was about to turn around and lecture her father, who didn't know the meaning of moderation, when she discovered that Mouri Kogoro was slumped on the table, snoring loudly.
Lin Yi smiled. "Uncle Mouri is talking in his sleep."
"Is that so…"
This made Xiaolan a little embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll help too…"
Lin Yi was in a great mood and proactively went to help Xiaolan wash the dishes.
"No need… I can do it myself."
"Give me a kiss, and I won't help."
"Ew… no… My dad's here."
"He's asleep anyway; he won't know."
"Even if he's asleep, I can't…"
"…"
After helping Xiaolan wash the dishes, Lin Yi said goodbye and went home.
After all, he had been firing cannons all day, and he really didn't have any extra supplies to hand in.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, the morning passed uneventfully.
However, at noon, something unexpected happened to Lin Yi, Xiaolan, and Yuanzi!
Murai… the guy who had desperately shouted "Damn it, why?" in his heart… came to Lin Yi's side.
He handed a letter to Lin Yi, saying somewhat impatiently, "Here, take this letter!"
Lin Yi saw that the envelope had a pink heart sticker on it.
Lin Yi was immediately dumbfounded. He looked at Murai in shock, scrutinizing him with disbelief: "I thought you were a tough guy… I didn't expect you to be gay?"
Suddenly, Lin Yi understood something. He exclaimed, "So… the other day, you blocked me in the bathroom… was it to get my attention?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaolan and Yuanzi's hair stood on end, and they looked at Murai in astonishment:
"No… no way? I didn't expect your sexual orientation to be this!"
"Ew~~ How perverted… but I like it, but Lin Yi is off-limits! Go find other objects of affection… Let me know the results, and I'll prepare a gift for you."
Murai was stunned. He didn't expect these three to be so dramatic. He exclaimed angrily, "You three are the perverts! How could you think that way!"
Pa—
Murai slapped the envelope on the table and shouted, "Someone asked me to give this to you!"
After saying that, Murai turned and left, not wanting to stay in this kind of place at all.
Lin Yi was about to pick up the letter when Yuanzi snatched it away with a whoosh. She read the sender's name: "Kasaka Kano… a girl… Who is she?"
After saying that, the two girls looked at Lin Yi in unison.
Lin Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know… It's not like you guys don't know, there are many people who give me love letters every day."
"That's true…"
Although they were unhappy, Xiaolan and Yuanzi couldn't deny this fact.
Receiving love letters was a daily occurrence for Lin Yi. He could receive several even during a trip to the restroom.
Alas, being so charming is truly helpless…
What? You say taking off the necklace can reduce my charm and lower my popularity?
Are you stupid? I was just being modest; did you really take it seriously?
"Can I see what's written inside?"
Yuanzi really wanted to know the contents.
Lin Yi said indifferently, "Of course, you can… Anyway, it's always the same few lines of confession."
"That… wouldn't be good, right? After all, it's meant for Lin Yi; it's not appropriate for us to read it," Xiaolan said hesitantly.
"You idiot! She's trying to steal our man! And you're still thinking of her?" Yuanzi rolled her eyes. She thought Xiaolan's biggest flaw was that she was too soft-hearted.
After being scolded by Yuanzi, Xiaolan pouted and didn't say anything, though she probably still held her own opinion.
"I'll read it out loud… Lin-kun… Oh, how intimate."
Yuanzi tested the waters, and seeing that Lin Yi didn't react, she continued reading, "Thank you for your help. I will use that money to start my life anew… What does this mean?"
Yuanzi seemed to smell the scent of a shady deal.
"Xiaolan knows about this…" Lin Yi wanted to eat, so he let Xiaolan explain.
Xiaolan then explained the matter between Lin Yi and the delinquent girl.
"Oh… I see. I didn't realize you were so kind."
Seeing that it wasn't what she had imagined, Yuanzi nodded in satisfaction and continued reading, "I have something I want to say to you… Can you meet me at the school gate after school?"
"Why can't she say what she wants to say in the letter? Why does she have to meet in person?"
Yuanzi asked Lin Yi.
"Why are you looking at me? I didn't write this letter." Lin Yi was quite speechless, but seeing her jealous look gave him immense satisfaction.
"Xiaolan, you're overthinking it. Maybe she just wants to thank Yi in person."
Compared to Sonoko's suspicion, Xiaolan thought more positively, saying, "After all, Yi gave her two million… A face-to-face thank you is normal, right?"
Xiaolan's words weren't without reason.
Moreover, Sonoko thought for a moment that that Kasaka Kana was just a delinquent girl, how could she compete with the two of them?
Thinking of this, Sonoko generously handed the letter to Lin Yi, and said, "Do you want to go see her?"
"I didn't help her for her thanks."
Lin Yi casually crumpled the letter and envelope into a ball, threw it upwards, and accurately threw it into the trash can: "No."
Sonoko was very satisfied with this answer.
