"I have finished asking my questions. Do you have any questions you need to ask?"
Akemi began to ask Lin Yi.
Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Miss Akemi, I want to know when we will start the operation?"
"Before the operation begins, I will give you enough time to prepare." Akemi replied.
He then asked: "How many people are there in total? How many people are there now?"
"The initial estimate is three people. There are many people who are in urgent need of money, but very few meet my criteria. Currently, there are only you and me." Akemi said.
Lin Yi said: "Do you mind if I bring someone in?"
"Oh?" Akemi was slightly surprised. She had been looking for people for several times, but they were all rejected due to problems with their abilities or trust.
But she didn't expect Lin Yi to have one. She asked: "Can he be trusted?"
Lin Yi nodded: "He can be trusted, but he is relatively large, mainly muscles, and his characteristics are too obvious."
"That's not a problem." Akemi waved her hand with a smile and said: "There are more than 40 million people in Tokyo, and there are countless people with large builds. As long as they can be trusted, that's fine."
When doing these shady things, ability is secondary, trust is the primary consideration.
After all, no one wants to be stabbed in the back when committing illegal and criminal acts.
If you are lucky, you will be sold and become a scapegoat, and be locked up in prison for more than ten years. If you are unlucky, you will be killed on the spot, and your life will be gone.
Why did Akemi immediately agree to an "interview" when she heard that Sakaka Kayo's boyfriend wanted to make some quick money?
It's because people introduced through friends can be trusted. Even if something happens afterwards, you can still ask the intermediary to be held accountable.
This is much easier than judging whether a person is trustworthy on your own.
"Then I will call him now and ask if he is free to chat."
As Lin Yi spoke, he took out his phone and called Wakamatsu Toshihide.
Initially, he wanted to use the other party as a wingman, but he didn't expect that he didn't become a wingman, but he caught up with being an accomplice.
Who told him to call him 'Boss'? Taking advantage of people will be paid back sooner or later.
Of course, this is not the main reason.
The main reason is that Lin Yi doesn't want any more strangers to join this team.
Robbing a bank is a very dangerous thing, especially the two parts of robbing in the middle and dividing the spoils afterwards.
Problems often occur in these two links.
Since it is a three-person team, Lin Yi simply pulled Wakamatsu Shunsuke in as well. His own people are always easier to communicate with and easier to command than others.
In the anime, the three-person team temporarily established by Akemi had one person who took the money and ran away. Then Akemi hired a detective with another robber to find his whereabouts, which led to the intervention of Conan and others.
He dialed a phone call to Wakamatsu Shunsuke, and soon the call connected.
Lin Yi said, "Shunsuke, are you free to meet now? Yes? Good... Um... I remember there is a boxing gym nearby. After I get there, I will send you an address, you come out first."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi said to Akemi, "Okay."
"Why did you arrange to meet at the boxing gym?" Akemi asked curiously.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "One is that I have to see if he can fight, and the second is to let you see if I can fight."
These words made Akemi laugh. She said, "I see... Okay, I'll go over and take a look later."
Akemi took out her phone and was about to call Kosaka Kano back when she paused and said, "Does Kano know him too?"
Lin Yi nodded: "I know him, I've met him before."
"Then let's go together." Akemi then dialed the phone.
Kosaka Kano was nearby, and she pushed the door in as soon as her phone rang.
She looked at Akemi with expectant eyes. Akemi pursed her lips downwards, responding with a helpless expression.
Kosaka Kano walked over with a slightly unhappy expression.
Lin Yi stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the nearby boxing gym."
Kosaka Kano, who failed to stop Lin Yi from doing bad things, was in a bad mood. She had a little emotion and said, "I just came in, and we're leaving already?"
When Lin Yi saw this, he decisively gave her a princess carry and said, "Then I'll carry you over."
Kosaka Kano was startled. Thinking that there were acquaintances around, she was very uncomfortable and patted Lin Yi shyly, saying, "Put me down, I'll walk over myself."
"Didn't you say you were tired?" Lin Yi continued to hold her, deliberately not letting her down.
"Anyway, it's not far... No need."
"I remember it's quite far... At least half an hour's walk."
Kosaka Kano saw Akemi covering her mouth and laughing. Her face turned red, and she hurriedly said, "I'm not tired anymore, I'm not tired anymore, I'll walk myself."
Only then did Lin Yi put her down.
She used to appear in front of Akemi as a hot and spicy image, belonging to the kind of hot girl who "takes life and death lightly, and does whatever she wants."
But now she was seen by the other party with her soft and cute side, making her want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into in shame.
Kosaka Kano didn't dare to look at Akemi, hiding herself behind Lin Yi.
Akemi watched happily, with envy in her eyes. She said, "Let's go."
--------
Wakamatsu Shunsuke entered the Mihua Boxing Gym and reported Lin Yi's name to the staff, and was led to one of the rings.
Lin Yi was leaning on the ropes watching him, waving his hand to signal him to come up.
"Why did you call me here?" Wakamatsu Shunsuke opened the side rope and entered the ring with a confused look.
"I just wanted to find someone to box with." Lin Yi said, throwing a pair of gloves and protective gear to him: "Have you learned it?"
"I've learned a little bit." Wakamatsu Shunsuke asked while putting on the protective gear, "What about you?"
"No." In order not to hurt him, Lin Yi also put on boxing gloves.
"You didn't bring protective gear." Wakamatsu Shunsuke reminded.
"I don't need it." Lin Yi said.
"For showing off?" Wakamatsu Shunsuke glanced at the two beauties next to the ring. He knew one of them, the one who had dinner with Lin Yi. He had never seen the other one.
However, based on the way he coaxed girls, Wakamatsu Shunsuke believed that the other party was probably one of his old flames, which made him very jealous.
"I guess so."
Lin Yi smiled and bumped his gloves against each other.
"Then you have to be careful, I will beat you until you drool."
Wakamatsu Shunsuke grinned, obviously having bad intentions.
As soon as he smiled, a boxing glove smashed into his face.
Bang!
