"Huff..."
Saka Kayo was breathing slightly heavily. Even now, she still couldn't understand how his attitude towards her had changed so suddenly, just because she changed her hairstyle and put on normal makeup, without any other major changes.
Simple changes were within her expectations.
But he didn't explain himself, just picked her up, took her home, and started going at it.
This change in attitude was completely earth-shattering!
She couldn't figure out what was going on at all.
However, she wasn't a detective and didn't intend to investigate the matter.
This outcome was exactly what she wanted.
"From now on... I'm your person."
Saka Kayo wrapped her arms around Lin Yi's neck and said happily.
"Mmm, mmm..."
After finishing, Lin Yi nodded contentedly.
From the first moment he saw Saka Kayo, Lin Yi had an idea in his mind.
If this world doesn't have Yui Aragaki, then I'll personally cultivate one!
Putting aside everything else, just for self-satisfaction, it's already enough!
Besides, since I'm destined to walk the path of a scumbag, instead of aimlessly searching, I might as well realize my previous fantasies!
Let the wives truly become wives.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately became full of energy.
However, this plan was destined to be a long-term one.
Moreover, Lin Yi didn't know what his previous wives were called now or where they lived.
So, he could only take them one by one as he saw them.
The immediate priority was to collect the beautiful young ladies from "Detective Conan."
Just as Lin Yi was thinking wildly, his phone rang.
But it wasn't his, it was Saka Kayo's.
It was in the living room.
Saka Kayo remembered to get the phone, but Lin Yi pressed her down and said, "I'll go... It's your first time, rest well."
Saka Kayo felt warm inside—Lin Yi knew that girls are most easily touched by these details.
Soon, Lin Yi returned from the living room and handed the phone to Saka Kayo.
Saka Kayo took the phone and answered, "Hello... May I ask who this is?"
"Oh... So it's Sister Akemi, it's been a long time."
"Hmm? Help you find someone?"
After listening to the other party's words, Saka Kayo shook her head and said, "Sister Akemi... I've turned over a new leaf and started a new life. I don't want to touch those things anymore..."
"I know... I know you've helped me, but... Alright... Okay, this is the last time. I can only pass your request on to others, as for whether they have suitable candidates... that's none of my business."
"Hmm... Hmm, bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Saka Kayo sighed. She turned her head to look at Lin Yi, only to find him staring at her intently.
This made Saka Kayo feel a little uneasy. She quickly said softly, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yi looked at her deeply and said, "I think... you should have something to tell me, right?"
Saka Kayo hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Living room.
Both of them put on their clothes and started anew.
Lin Yi brought a glass of water to Saka Kayo. He began to realize that perhaps the appearance of this Saka Kayo was not accidental, but an arrangement of fate... Well, it was very likely arranged by the System boss.
If it could do things like dark box operations and trigger plots, then connecting himself with the Black Organization from it... wouldn't be too difficult.
Saka Kayo took a sip of water and, after sorting out her thoughts, asked Lin Yi, "Where should I start?"
"You can start wherever you like."
Lin Yi wasn't some interrogation expert, he could only let her speak freely.
Saka Kayo thought for a while and said, "Then... let's start with my parents' affairs."
"The matter about my parents that I told you last time... was actually made up by me."
I could guess...
"Actually, my parents were both gamblers... They owed a huge sum of high-interest loans to the underworld, and my dad was often forced to do illegal things, while my mom was forced into prostitution."
"As for me... I haven't been home since I was in middle school. I either stayed overnight at school, internet cafes, or friends' houses."
Awesome...
You might not believe it, but when I was your age, the craziest thing I ever did was dump my rice in front of my mom... back into the rice cooker.
"That day... I happened to meet you. I knew you were good at fighting, so I deliberately sought you out for help."
"Unexpectedly, not only did you help me, but you also gave me money..."
Speaking of this, Kasaka Kana started to sob.
Based on her previous behavior of crying whenever she wanted in front of me, Lin Yi believed that she was mostly pretending to be pitiful this time as well.
However, good looks are justice.
For the sake of that face, Lin Yi decided not to bother with it.
Watching her cry, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh. People who have struggled in society really have very natural acting skills, and they can cry whenever they want, with tears coming as they please.
After handing her a tissue, Lin Yi simply asked directly: "Who was the person who called you just now?"
Kasaka Kana hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind to say it: "Her name... I don't know. Anyway, I've only heard others call her Akemi. So I followed along."
"When I was wandering outside, Akemi-san helped me... She let me work for her, and then she would give me money."
Speaking of this, Kasaka Kana glanced at Lin Yi cautiously and quickly said: "But don't worry, Akemi-san never lets us do things that involve selling our bodies..."
"She would give us some photos and then have us harass them..."
Lin Yi couldn't help but say: "Be more specific."
"Um... if the target is a student, then we will... block him on his way home from school and beat him up... Sometimes we would beat the target continuously for several days, sometimes just once or twice."
"In short, we only stop when Akemi-san says it's okay."
"If the target is an adult, we can only splash paint on his door, stuff threatening letters into the mailbox, and send random things to the target's company."
"Occasionally, we also help Akemi-san transport some shady things... like guns, drugs, and the like."
Speaking of this, Kasaka Kana explained: "But don't worry, we never touch drugs... We don't have the money to touch them either..."
"In short, if it weren't for Akemi-san... I probably would have starved to death on the streets long ago."
"So... when Akemi-san asked me for help just now, I had to help her."
Lin Yi asked: "What kind of help?"
"It's about finding people... um, finding some people who urgently need money, the more the better."
