A high school student with little life experience versus an expert in flirting—the outcome is almost obvious.
Lin Yi only flirted a little, and already he had managed to stir Ryoko's heart and mind.
"Don't you think it's strange?"
Lin Yi resumed the conversation and said, "Yesterday, you accepted the hero's request and came to take care of Mamoru... The whole morning nothing happened, but just when you went out to buy dinner, Mamoru disappeared."
"Have you not thought about why it happened at that exact moment?"
Ryoko's attention was drawn back to Lin Yi. She thought for a moment and then shook her head. "I don't know..."
Lin Yi continued, "Did you run into anyone you knew on your way out of the house?"
"Mm... When I left the house, near the convenience store, I ran into Naoki Uemura... Does that count?"
Ryoko remembered and replied.
"Of course it counts..."
Finally, Lin Yi managed to get that name out of her.
He had dragged it out. He said, "So now let's go to Naoki Uemura's house... I suppose his house must be nearby."
"Mm... His house is in the next apartment. Why... are we going to his house?"
Ryoko originally thought she was a little clever, but in the presence of Lin Yi, she realized she was always the one being asked questions.
"Let's walk, and I'll explain."
"Okay."
——————————————
"From what can be seen in the layout of the hallway, this kidnapper must be someone close to Mamoru..."
"Could that... be true?"
"Mm, think about it... If you were the kidnapper, you'd just take the person, why would you take the time to put on their shoes?"
"Ah... You're right."
"And also, the mess in the room is very strange. Of course, they came to kidnap someone, but the place looks more like a robbery."
"If the kidnapper's initial goal was to rob, but Mamoru's room is very tidy..."
"From the inside out, everything looks out of place, which indicates that someone did it on purpose."
"Wow... I hadn't noticed that... Wait, do you mean the kidnapper is Naoki Uemura?"
Ryoko, realizing a bit late, said.
"Yes, besides everything I mentioned earlier, what stands out the most is... In Mamoru's room, although everything is messy, the video game console on the floor is perfectly intact, even its position hasn't changed."
"So, I dare to assume that Naoki Uemura is a video game enthusiast and often plays with Mamoru, is that right?"
"Yes... yes." Ryoko looked at Lin Yi, and her eyes were already shining. She couldn't look away.
"Ah... that's right."
After a long pause, Ryoko seemed to return to reality. She quickly pulled an envelope from her pocket and said, "And this, last night, the kidnapper left it."
"Your reaction seems a bit slow... Is it really this late and you're only now taking out the letter?"
The deduction had already reached this point, did she still need to look?
Looking would only make him look bad.
He didn't look.
Lin Yi pushed the envelope back.
At the same time, he was surprised by Ryoko's reaction. He also realized that this girl was smart, but her reactions were a bit slow—a type of person who doesn't realize things until later.
Let's think about it: the kidnapping happened last night, and she arrived this afternoon... Also, at that time, she was carrying her backpack.
Clearly, she came straight from school.
There was a kidnapping, and she still had time to go to school...
Not bad, sister.
"I... I... I'm like this." Ryoko, with a red face, said, "I'm a little slow, that's why... no one likes to play with me."
As she said this, it seemed like she remembered something sad and lowered her head.
Wow, what a pity.
Lin Yi extended his hand and patted her head, saying, "If you don't mind, I can play with you from now on..."
Ryoko, blushing, nodded shyly.
While they were talking, they both reached the door of Naoki Uemura's house.
Ryoko pressed the doorbell, and the door opened.
However, it only opened enough to show a small crack, with the security chain still in place.
"Wow, isn't this Ryoko? How did you get here... huh? And this is...?"
Naoki Uemura, after greeting, fixed his gaze on Lin Yi.
"Naoki Uemura, Mamoru is here, right?" Ryoko couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? Mamoru? How could he be here?" Naoki Uemura shook his head repeatedly. "I haven't seen him."
"Then open the door and let me see."
"I can't today, my girlfriend is inside and it's not a good time."
"Mamoru must be inside! Mamoru! Mamoru, can you hear me? Answer me!" Ryoko, without thinking, started shouting inside.
Naoki Uemura, feeling guilty, shouted, "Hey, Ryoko! What are you doing? I told you Mamoru's not here! This is too much, please leave!"
"You're lying to me!" Ryoko tried to keep shouting, but Lin Yi pulled her away.
Seeing Lin Yi pull her away, Ryoko quickly shouted, "Lin Yi! Mamoru is definitely inside!"
"I know."
Lin Yi nodded, signaling her to calm down, and made a gesture for her to pay attention to how he was going to handle this.
Naoki Uemura felt that Lin Yi was emitting an unpleasant energy, and that sensation was accompanied by a strong unease. He immediately said, "This is absurd..."
When he finished, he tried to close the door.
But without a word, Lin Yi raised his foot and kicked the door hard, making a loud noise. The powerful impact knocked Naoki Uemura down, who had been trying to close the door.
Lin Yi kicked again, and the impact resonated once more.
"L... Lin Yi?" Ryoko was surprised by Lin Yi's action. She hadn't expected him to be so aggressive from the start; it was completely different from what she had imagined.
With a spinning kick, Lin Yi destroyed the security chain with an elegant move.
The sound of a "crack" was heard as the door was slammed open.
"You... you...?" Naoki Uemura, incredulous, looked at Lin Yi and raised his hand, shouting, "This is breaking and entering, it's a crime! Do you know that?"
"Oh~~~ So you know what breaking and entering is..."
Lin Yi nodded, then, without hesitation, stepped on his chest. Then, he turned to Ryoko and said, "Well, Ryoko... go in and bring Mamoru."
Ryoko nodded with an "mm", and quickly ran inside.
Naoki Uemura was completely pale, as if he were dead.
