Mouri's Office
Lin Yi filled Kogoro Mouri's wine glass and said with a smile: "Uncle Mouri, from now on you will be the great detective famous across the entire country!"
"Ay, this is thanks to you!" Kogoro Mouri laughed heartily, in a good mood, not forgetting that it was Lin Yi who gave him valuable suggestions. Had it not been for him, he wouldn't have been able to solve this murder case on his own.
This made Kogoro Mouri look at Lin Yi with more and more fondness, seeing him as his lucky star.
As they complimented each other, they began drinking.
It didn't take long before Kogoro Mouri was completely drunk.
After making sure that Kogoro Mouri was sufficiently drunk, Lin Yi dropped him onto the sofa and turned to leave Mouri's office.
He began working on his strategy to win over the Aoshima sisters.

Aoshima Residence
Masayo Aoshima was in her room, starting to pack her things.
In reality, there wasn't much to pack—just clothes, makeup jars, and the documents she needed to take with her.
"Sister, are you really going to move to another place?"
Mina Aoshima was leaning against the door, a bit nostalgic.
"Of course," Masayo Aoshima said with a smile. "After all, you're going to marry Kenji. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to keep living here. I'll move in a few days."
"But won't it be too rushed to move without finding a place first?"
Mina Aoshima said, concerned: "You can stay with us for a while. There's no rush to find a house."
"No need, I'll stay at a friend's house for now."
Masayo Aoshima replied with a smile.
Honestly, Masayo Aoshima hated her sister.
Why hadn't she realized earlier that her sister was a real bitch?
Not only did she steal her boyfriend, but she also wanted to tie her down to her side, making her part of her little couple game.
She had even felt the urge to kill her.
However, after meeting Lin Yi this morning, all her suppressed emotions were suddenly triggered, and she found that youthful feeling of love.
All the frustration and resentment accumulated in her heart disappeared immediately, and she found her purpose in life.
Instead of continuing to complain about that couple, it was better to start anew.
"I'm so sorry."
At this situation, Mina Aoshima deeply apologized.
Of course, the apology she had in mind was because Kenji didn't choose her, but chose her sister, not for stealing Kenji from her.
In reality, some people have distorted thoughts due to particular circumstances.
Like her sister Mina Aoshima.
From the perspective of others, she was a hopeless bitch, but she believed that term had nothing to do with her.
She thought that, from the start, it was Kenji who approached her, who proposed to her, and she never pursued him, even rejecting him several times. She hadn't done anything wrong.
Not only did she not make a mistake, but thinking about her sister's dignity, she lowered herself and said it was her who proposed to Kenji.
As for Kenji being her sister's boyfriend, Mina Aoshima didn't care much.
She thought that before marriage, everyone has the right to choose their partner.
Kenji chose her and not her sister, where was the mistake?
The difference in their thoughts made each of them believe they hadn't done anything wrong, which caused all kinds of prejudices.
"You don't have to apologize... If it weren't for you, I might never have met my true love."
With just a brief encounter, Masayo Aoshima was able to forget Kenji, making her even more certain that Lin Yi was the right one for her.
"Then, in reality, I should thank you."
Mina Aoshima was used to following the same rhythm as her sister, but seeing that her sister was suddenly falling in love with another man, she felt somewhat puzzled.
At that moment, Masayo Aoshima's phone rang. When she saw it was Lin Yi, her face lit up. She made no effort to hide it from Mina and answered the phone: "Oh? You're calling me so soon? I thought you'd wait a few days before contacting me."
"Dinner? I already ate... How about we go for a drink? I know a good bar... Huh? You have a recommended bar? Alright... Just a moment, I'll change clothes and head over, yes, yes."
After hanging up the phone, Masayo Aoshima's smile grew even brighter.
"I'll leave everything here today... Tomorrow I'll continue with the rest."
Masayo Aoshima dragged the suitcase to the side and said, "Hmm... what clothes should I wear?"
Masayo Aoshima looked at the wardrobe and deliberately asked Mina Aoshima: "Mina, which one do you think looks better?"
"I think this one is quite nice..." Mina Aoshima picked a black dress for her.
"Yes... then I'll wear this." Masayo Aoshima took the black dress and put it on.
Mina Aoshima couldn't help but ask: "Sister, was it Lin Yi who called you?"
"Yes."
Masayo Aoshima didn't try to hide it at all.
"I want to go too." Mina Aoshima said.
"You can't."
Masayo Aoshima rejected her without thinking: "But you're getting married! How can you go drinking with strange men? If Kenji finds out, he'll get mad."
"But... we always used to go together."
For Mina Aoshima, things weren't that simple.
They had always gone everywhere together, and now it should be the same.
"That was before... now it's different."
After putting on the black dress, Masayo Aoshima adjusted it a little and said: "Now you're someone's fiancée."
"But... I still want to go with you, even though I'm getting married... everything I do, I want to do with you." Mina Aoshima said somewhat uncomfortably.
She couldn't understand why, after getting married, they couldn't live the same life anymore.
Before they could, why couldn't they now?
"..."
Masayo Aoshima didn't know how to explain to her sister. Now she realized that maybe she had pampered her sister too much. What was her sister's now was also her responsibility.
She thought about how, this morning, Lin Yi's attitude toward her and her sister was completely different, and he wasn't too worried about her.
Masayo Aoshima thought that maybe she should take her sister along, so she could also hit a wall. She needed to understand that not everything revolved around her.
Thinking this, Masayo Aoshima nodded and agreed.
"Alright..."
It was time for her sister to experience the harshness of life.
