Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation“Type-R?!”
Gu Yiran knew a lot about cars, but she wasn’t as experienced as Lin Yi.
Naturally, she had heard of the Type-R before.
If that was the case, her car would definitely not be able to beat his.
“Are you sure?”
“It feels a little like it.” Gao Mingjun said.
“The thing is that you haven’t caught up to him yet. That’s very telling.”
“No matter what he is driving, I want to chase after him!”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yiran stepped on the accelerator.
She felt that Gao Mingjun must have misjudged him as she didn’t think that Lin Yi would drive such a good car.
But reality gave her a resounding slap to wake her up.
Even when she reached the finish line, she couldn’t catch up to Lin Yi.
Moreover, the distance between the two of them remained fixed at dozens of meters.
What infuriated Gu Yiran the most was that Lin Yi seemed to be deliberately controlling the speed of his car.
It was not very harmful, but it was extremely insulting.
After getting out of the car, Gu Yiran looked unnatural.
“Are you kidding me? It’s clearly a Type-R, and you’re calling it a Civic!”
“How is it not a Civic? That’s exactly what this is.”
“Nonsense, since when do Civics come with AMG calipers?”
“Yep, that’s how we outfit our Civic,” Lin Yi replied.
“But 1 think all this talk is pointless. Let’s just stick to our agreement. The plastic bag is still in your car? Let’s not waste time.”
“Don’t worry, I, Gu Yiran, can afford to lose if I dare to play!”
After returning to the back of the car, Gu Yiran struggled for a while before coming down and handing the black bag to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi glanced at the design inside and threw it into the trash.
“If I’d known that was the case, I wouldn’t have played with you. They’re not even as good as those nice old ladies’ bloomers.”
“You!”
“Bye-bye.”
Lin Yi got into the car, waved to Gu Yiran, and drove away.
There weren’t many people at night, so he arrived at Li Chuhan’s house at around midnight.
The lights in the living room were still on, and he could see it from the outside. She was obviously waiting for Lin Yi to come back.
“Next time something like this happens, don’t wait for me. I’ve got a key anyway. I can get in on my own.”
“I had to keep the light on in the house. I can’t let you stumble around in the dark. You’ll be lonely.”
Lin Yi smiled and stroked Li Chuhan’s soft long hair.
“Let’s go. We’ve been working hard all day. Let’s sleep.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yi washed up briefly. He wanted to wash away his bad luck after seeing a dead person in the day.
They were all superstitions that he had learned from Wang Cuiping.
The next morning, when Lin Yi woke up, it was already past nine.
He saw Li Chuhan making breakfast in the kitchen.
“Aren’t you working today?”
“It’s a holiday. I have a day shift tomorrow.”
“Do you have any plans for the holidays? Why don’t I take leave to accompany you later?”
“No need, no need. Go about your business.” Li Chuhan said.
“I have an appointment with Xinxin. We’ll go shopping later.”
“Then I’ll transfer you some money.”
“I have enough here. I don’t need it.”
“Alright then.”
Just as the two of them were talking, the sound of a door opening was heard from outside.
It was obvious that Qiao Xin had come to freeioad.
Other than Lin Yi, only Qiao Xin had Li Chuhan’s house key.
“Ah, Brother Lin!”
When she opened the door and saw Lin Yi, Qiao Xin was first surprised. Then, she winked and said,
“Am I interrupting anything?”
“You’re already intruding.”
“Heh, well, there’s nothing to be done about it—I’m already here. Might as well disturb you since I’ve got thick skin.”
“You two sit down for a while. Breakfast will be ready soon.”
“I’ll go help,” Qiao Xin said.
“No need. It’ll be done soon. You don’t have to help.”
“Then 1 won’t stand on ceremony.”
Qiao Xin sat on the sofa and looked at Lin Yi excitedly.
“Brother Lin, didn’t you become a police officer? Have there been any major cases recently? It’s the kind of mysterious case. Tell me about it.”
“There is one. It happened yesterday.”
“Tell me about it.”
After that, Lin Yi briefly explained the case to Qiao Xin, who fell into deep thought.
“The problem now is that even if you find a clear murderer, you won’t be able to do anything because of the lack of evidence.”
“Right, go on.”
Lin Yi knew Qiao Xin very well. After watching Conan for so many years, her thoughts were already different from ordinary people.
She might really be able to come up with something.
“Whether he committed suicide or lost his footing, he fell down by himself,” Qiao Xin said.
“You don’t have evidence to accuse her of inducement, as there’s no proof from the deceased— at most, she might bear some associated responsibility. As for how she’ll be judged, that’s uncertain, but it likely won’t be too severe.”
“That’s why we have to prove the exact cause of his death.”
“Brother Lin, was there a surveillance camera at the scene? Can 1 take a look?”
“I actually brought the surveillance footage back. Go and get the computer.”
“Okay,” Qiao Xin said excitedly. Then, she went to Li Chuhan’s study and brought out her laptop.
As an old fan of Conan, she was both excited and excited to encounter such a thing in reality.
After loading the hard drive, Lin Yi leaned against the sofa. Qiao Xin stuck her head out and looked at it very carefully.
“I can tell from the way he walks that he’s definitely not behaving normally.” “We’ve already analyzed this, and there are two possible causes for the situation. The first is alcohol consumption, and the second is the use of ketamine or similar drugs, which produced hallucinogenic effects.”
Qiao Xin nodded noncommittally. As a professional doctor, she knew the effects of these drugs very well.
After watching for more than ten minutes, Qiao Xin rested her chin on her hand and said,
“It seems like nothing definitive was found. He fell on his own, and regardless of who the perpetrator might be, you can’t convict anyone without solid evidence.”
“That’s the problem.”
The two of them fell into deep thought since they had arrived at the same dead end.
“Let’s eat first. We’ll talk about this after we’re done,” Li Chuhan said.
“Okay, I’ll help carry the dishes.”
Li Chuhan made two lists of side dishes. There were also buns and soy milk. These were typical Huaxian dishes.
“Sister Li, how’s the new house? Is there anything I can help with?” Qiao Xin asked.
“It’s nearly time. I can take a look at the house today.”
“Aiyaya, Brother Lin, although I’m not as big as Sister Li, why don’t you make do with it and take me in?” Qiao Xin said enviously.
“I don’t want such a big house. I just need a few dozen square meters. Give me a home too.”
Lin Yi and Li Chuhan looked at each other and smiled.
“That will depend on your performance.”
“Come on, Brother Lin, sit in the center. And these dishes, why are they placed in front of me? They have to be placed in front of Brother Lin…”
Halfway through her sentence, Qiao Xin stopped talking and her expression turned strange.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Li Chuhan asked.
Qiao Xin shook her head and looked at Lin Yi seriously.
“Brother Lin, I think I noticed something wrong..”
