"Huff, huff, huff..."
Xiaolan and Sonoko hurriedly ran out of the crime scene.
Just then, the personnel who were sealing off the scene had just received a call from Sato Miwako, allowing irrelevant personnel to leave.
Xiaolan and Sonoko rushed out of the KTV in a panic, running far, far away before they stopped.
The two leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
Sonoko looked back and, seeing that Lin Yi hadn't followed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yi hasn't followed... we're okay."
"That's great..."
Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want Lin Yi to drag her into the hotel and then the three of them would do those shameful things together.
For most people, a love triangle is very difficult to accept, especially when the two people involved are very close friends.
It's like going to the toilet with your best friend.
You know the other person is in the next stall, but how can you comfortably chat while you're both doing your business?
Although this analogy isn't perfect, the meaning is similar.
Ran and Sonoko were unable to accept such an awkward situation for the time being.

"Running pretty fast."
Lin Yi leisurely walked out of the KTV.
"However, you can't escape from the palm of my hand!"
Lin Yi's lips curled up as he took out the crystal pendant from his clothes and silently recited Ran's name.
Soon, Ran's third-person perspective appeared in Lin Yi's mind.
She was currently heading somewhere with Sonoko.
Lin Yi paid attention to the nearby buildings and quickly saw some familiar place names, knowing the direction they were heading.
Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, someone suddenly called out to him.
"Excuse me, sir, please wait."
Lin Yi looked back and saw a waiter chasing after him, carrying three schoolbags in his hand. He said, "These are the schoolbags you left in the room."
"Oh... thank you."
Lin Yi took the schoolbags and thanked him.
"You're welcome. We should be thanking you."
"If it weren't for you, we don't know how much longer we would have been stuck here."
The waiter bowed and thanked him before returning to the KTV.
Lin Yi smiled and then focused his attention on the three schoolbags.
They left in too much of a hurry and forgot to take the schoolbags.
Wait a minute...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Yi's mind.
He smiled, he laughed, he laughed wildly!
He had a plan!
I have a plan!
With the schoolbags, he could definitely accomplish the double-flight today!
Ah ha ha ha ha... I'm such a genius, why could I come up with such a brilliant idea!
"You're still here... I don't even know your name yet."
Sato Miwako walked out and greeted Lin Yi, after all, he had helped them solve the murder case.
"Officer Sato, my name is Lin Yi, a student at Teitan High School."
Lin Yi said as he looked at Sato Miwako as if she were a dish in a pot, revealing a kind smile.
"You know me?"
Sato Miwako's insight was indeed strong, and she immediately caught on: "You mentioned my name earlier when you were inside."
"Oh, that."
Lin Yi was slightly surprised, but he was already used to dealing with unexpected situations, and said, "I saw you in the newspaper before."
"I see..."
Sato Miwako wasn't surprised, after all, she was a detective and occasionally appeared in the newspaper for some cases.
"By the way, Lin-kun, thank you for your help just now... But, are you really going to pretend you don't know anything?"
Sato Miwako said curiously, "I remember Kudo-kun is also from your school, right? He also helped the police solve many cases before and appeared on a lot of TV news."
"Let's just forget about it... I'm not interested in fame."
Lin Yi waved his hand and smiled.
He was joking, if he wanted to be famous, it would be a matter of minutes!
Putting aside everything else, just his handsome face, plus a song that was guaranteed to be a hit.
Then, spend money on publicity and buy trending searches.
He guaranteed that within a week, the entire Tokyo would be calling his name!
"Okay, the police will respect your decision."
Sato Miwako didn't force him. She looked at the crystal pendant on Lin Yi's neck and asked curiously, "This is..."
"Oh, it's a birthday gift from my friend."
Lin Yi saw that his crystal pendant was still outside and stuffed it into his clothes after making a perfunctory remark.
"Your friend... really has a unique taste."
Sato Miwako didn't know what to say. Who would give a boy this kind of thing?
"Yeah... I also think that friend has some problems with their brain, but it's still their good intentions."
Lin Yi seized the opportunity to bash the system.
At this time, Takagi Wataru drove a police car over, and Sato Miwako said, "Alright, I have to go back to the station to deal with things, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, she opened the car door and got in, just as she was about to close the door.
Lin Yi suddenly said, "Officer Sato, if you encounter a difficult case... you can try to find me."
"Oh? Is that so."
As soon as Sato Miwako heard this, she immediately took out her business card, handed it to Lin Yi, and said with a smile, "Then thank you so much, send me a text message. If I really encounter trouble, I won't be polite."
Lin Yi accepted the business card and nodded: "Okay..."
Takagi Wataru curled his lips unhappily and drove the car away without waiting for Lin Yi to say anything else.
Taking out his phone, he saved Sato Miwako's phone number, sent her a text message, and then Lin Yi looked at the two schoolbags and said, "Okay... let's start doing serious business."
With that, Lin Yi began to edit text messages, one for Ran and one for Sonoko.
After sending the message, he opened the map to see which hotel had a bed big enough to accommodate three people doing whatever they wanted on it, doing whatever they wanted.
––––––––––––––––
Inside a nearby shopping mall.
Sonoko and Ran had naturally entered shopping mode.
Buying or not buying wasn't important; the main thing was to browse.
As they were enjoying their shopping spree, Ran suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!"
Sonoko looked at her doubtfully, puzzled: "What's wrong, Ran?"
"Our bags… we forgot to take them!" Ran said, covering her mouth.
"Ah… no wonder I felt like something was missing compared to usual!"
Sonoko woke up as if from a dream. She hurriedly took out her phone: "Let's ask Yi if he picked them up for us."
Just as they were about to call, they saw a text message from Lin Yi.
"Oh? Yi says he already took our bags for us… and he even did our homework for tomorrow to apologize for his impulsive actions just now."
Ran and Sonoko both breathed a sigh of relief and then continued shopping.
