"Besides these? Nothing else?"
After listening to the other party's long speech, Akai Shuichi didn't find any useful information.
After a pause, he said: "Since you are so good at picking up girls, then you should be very good at observing subtle changes in women, right? Do you think... was there anything strange about her?"
"Something strange?"
Lin Yi leaned back in his chair, propped his chin, and thought for a while before saying, "Now that you mention it... there really are some strange things."
"What's strange?" Akai Shuichi perked up.
"I sometimes have this feeling... she is completely different outside and at home."
Lin Yi recalled and said, "Outside, she talks eloquently, like a girl who has seen the world."
As he said that, Lin Yi picked up the coffee and said, "For example, coffee, she also knows it in great detail. She knows that Latte has two completely different styles in the United States and Italy."
"Because 'Latte' means milk in Italian. If you order a Latte in an Italian coffee shop, you will only get a cup of pure milk."
After hearing this, Akai Shuichi began to suspect, because he knew that Akemi had always been restricted by the organization and could not leave Japan.
However, it is also possible that Akemi learned about the relevant knowledge from other books.
"Anything else?" Akai Shuichi continued to ask.
"At her home, she is a very gentle woman... Her speech becomes more cautious and euphemistic," Lin Yi said.
"Cautious?" Akai Shuichi frowned: "How cautious?"
"Well... to be specific... at home, she is more like a traditional Japanese woman, gentle, considerate, and restrained,"
Lin Yi said: "Outside... she doesn't look like a traditional Japanese woman anymore."
"At first... I thought it was because we were at her house, and those things were going to happen later, so she became so restrained..."
"Wait..."
Lin Yi suddenly realized something. He looked at Akai Shuichi and said in surprise: "Could it be... it's not me who is eyeing her, but she is eyeing me?"
"You said she is a robber, right? Maybe after she robbed something, she wanted me to be her scapegoat!!"
Akai Shuichi waved his hand, signaling the other party to calm down: "You're thinking too much... You are a man, she is a woman... even the body types are different."
"Officer Sera, what time is it now."
Lin Yi shook his head, looking like you were outdated: "Do you know what a trap is? It's a man who dresses himself up as a woman... If the police mistakenly think I am a trap and then participate in the robbery, wouldn't that be it?"
"..."
Shuichi Akai was speechless.
What the other party said made so much sense that he couldn't find any fault with it.
"Fortunately… fortunately, she had an accident and died."
Lin Yi said, patting his chest and letting out a long sigh of relief, his face full of lingering fear: "Otherwise, I would have been the unlucky one… It seems that in the future, I should avoid women who take the initiative to approach me."
"..."
Shuichi Akai picked up his coffee and drank it all in one gulp, which was the only way he could keep himself in his seat and prevent himself from rushing over and beating the other man.
After calming down, Shuichi Akai continued to ask: "Is there anything else that seems amiss?"
"No."
Lin Yi shook his head: "I didn't have much interaction with her to begin with…"
Shuichi Akai nodded and said: "Okay… I understand.
You can go back now.
If there are any more questions, I will come and find you again."
"Come and find me again?"
Lin Yi frowned and said: "Officer Sera, I have already said everything I know."
"Who knows if you have said everything you know or not."
Shuichi Akai said indifferently.
Lin Yi was silent for a while, then said: "How about this, Officer Sera.
I'll give you something…"
"What thing?" Shuichi Akai asked curiously.
Lin Yi took out his phone, entered four letters, and turned the phone over to show Shuichi Akai.
Shuichi Akai looked carefully and saw the four letters "Reno" written on it.
He frowned: "What does this mean?"
Lin Yi said: "You read it…"
Not knowing what this kid was up to, Shuichi Akai could only do as he was told, pronouncing the four letters: "re~no."
"Read it again." Lin Yi said with a smile on his face after hearing it.
"re~no… What's wrong?" Shuichi Akai didn't understand Lin Yi's smile and felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
Lin Yi put his phone away and suddenly grabbed the voice recorder on the table.
Shuichi Akai frowned, not immediately trying to snatch it back, but simply looking at him with sharp eyes, saying: "What do you want to do?"
"Do what?"
Lin Yi snorted twice.
He said impolitely: "What do you want to do?
Officer Sera, you are not a member of the Public Security Bureau at all."
Shuichi Akai's heart skipped a beat, not understanding how he had seen through it.
However, he still calmly said on the surface: "I'm not a member of the Public Security Bureau?
Interesting.
I'm a little curious to know how you determined that I am not a member of the Public Security Bureau."
Lin Yi pointed to the English word on the phone and said: "Because you pronounced it accurately… This means that your native language is not Japanese.
You are not a native Japanese."
"You mean… native Japanese speakers can't pronounce Reno correctly?" Shuichi Akai frowned.
"Of course they can't pronounce it correctly… Japanese English is notoriously bad in the world…"
Lin Yi said, casually calling over a passing waitress.
He handed over his phone and said: "Excuse me, how do you pronounce this English word?"
The waitress muttered: "Lei… Ou…"
"Thank you, that's all."
After Lin Yi let the waitress leave, he successively called over several other waiters.
Without exception, they all pronounced Reno as Leo (Lei Ou).
"See?
That's how Japanese people pronounce it."
Lin Yi said firmly: "You are not a native Japanese… so you can't be a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.
The Public Security Bureau is a spy agency, how could they recruit non-native Japanese people?"
"..."
Shuichi Akai was a little speechless.
He didn't expect that he would be exposed so easily… This damned quirky English of the Japanese.
"There are always some exceptions." Shuichi Akai didn't plan to honestly admit his impersonation.
"Whether it's an exception or not, I'll know after I take a look…"
Lin Yi reached out to Shuichi Akai and said: "Take out your Public Security Bureau ID and let me check it."
Without the slightest hesitation, Shuichi Akai handed the ID to the other party.
He didn't believe that the other party could really distinguish the authenticity of the ID.
After Lin Yi received the ID, he opened it and took a picture of it with his phone, then threw it back to Shuichi Akai: "Whether it's real or fake, I'll ask someone from the Metropolitan Police Department about it later…"
After saying that, Lin Yi returned the voice recorder to Shuichi Akai, saying: "If it's real, you're welcome to come and find me again… If it's not real, you'd better not come and find me.
Impersonating a member of the Public Security Bureau triggers the criminal law and you'll have to go to jail."
He picked up his coffee and drank it all in one gulp, saying: "I've already said everything I need to say… I hope you won't disturb my life anymore."
Watching the high school student leave, Shuichi Akai's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
He picked up the voice recorder and said with great interest: "No wonder this guy can have so many girlfriends at the same time, this observation and reaction ability… is really not bad."
