However, when Ran saw that her father was on the same team as that woman, her heart tightened again.
"Yi! Yi! Come over here and look!"
Ran hurriedly called Lin Yi over, saying uneasily, "Dad is on the same team as that woman!!"
After Lin Yi came over and looked, he pretended not to notice and asked, "And?"
"Don't you think it's strange?" Ran said anxiously, "They are chatting together, and playing table tennis together..."
"This is just normal interaction... you're being too sensitive." Lin Yi said.
"This time, I'm definitely not being sensitive!" Ran shook her head, saying firmly, "My intuition tells me there must be something going on between them!"
Your intuition is truly amazing.
Lin Yi muttered to himself.
"No! We're going over there now!" Ran was very anxious, turning to walk towards the door.
Lin Yi quickly grabbed her and said, "We can't go over there now, Ran. Uncle hasn't done anything! He's just chatting with his classmates, and when playing table tennis, he just happened to be on the same team..."
"You don't have any key evidence to prove that Uncle is cheating!"
"Besides, Uncle will turn it around and say we're stalking him, accusing you of not trusting him..."
After hearing Lin Yi's words, Ran stopped in her tracks, knowing that what Lin Yi said was correct; her father was exactly that type of person.
As long as he wasn't caught on the spot, he would never admit it.
Ran was at a loss and could only seek help from Lin Yi: "Then... what should we do now? We can't just wait until something happens before going to find Dad, right?"
"Wait, let me think." Lin Yi pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Right! I know what to do!"
"What do we do?" Ran asked expectantly.
"Give Uncle a call."
Lin Yi took out his phone and said, "Ask him what he is doing now..."
Then Lin Yi pointed to the monitor and said, "If Uncle reports truthfully without hiding anything... then it means he has no problems."
"But if he hides it... then we need to be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Ran felt it was indeed a good idea and nodded: "Mm, that sounds good! Are you calling, or should I?"
"I'll do it." Lin Yi found Mouri Kogoro's phone number and pressed the call button.
Then he pressed speakerphone so Ran would know he wasn't conspiring with Mouri Kogoro to fool her.
The two watched the monitor simultaneously.
Mouri Kogoro saw his phone ringing in his pocket, apologized to the others, left the billiard room, and found a quiet place to answer the call.
"Hello, what is it? Lin Yi." Mouri Kogoro asked.
Lin Yi's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Uncle Mouri, have you already left for the reunion?"
"I'm already at the reunion..." Mouri Kogoro said with some confusion, "Why are you asking this?"
"Ah... so that's how it is. Then Ran and I will have dinner outside... By the way, are you coming back tonight?"
"No, I'll be back tomorrow." Mouri Kogoro added, "Tell Ran not to wait for me."
"Alright, I will pass that on for you... Uncle, how is the reunion? Are you happy? I haven't attended a reunion yet."
"Happy, of course I'm happy. After all, everyone is usually busy with their own things, and it's not easy to find time to meet up, chat about each other's recent lives, and reminisce about the happy times in college..."
At this point, Mouri Kogoro already felt a bit strange.
Usually, Lin Yi wouldn't call him like this; if there was something, he would come directly to the Agency to find him.
"Is that so? It sounds very interesting... Then your reunion... what have you all been doing? I want to know in advance, so I won't be scrambling when the next reunion is held."
Originally Mouri Kogoro was just feeling strange, but now he was immediately certain.
He not only asked if he was staying the night, but also asked how the class reunion was going.
Having been to so many crime scenes with Lin Yi, Mouri Kogoro knew that the other party was not the type of person who liked to meddle in other people's business.
This phone call... was most likely forced upon Lin Yi by Ran.
Mouri Kogoro realized this.
