Transmigrated to the world of Detective Conan.

Just as Lin Yi was about to pay, he suddenly saw something and said, "Wait a moment… I don't want those two melons."

"Huh?" The assistant's smile froze for a moment, clearly holding back a curse but knowing he couldn't say it aloud, so he just kept it in.

"Do you really not want them?" The assistant looked somewhat annoyed; after working so hard, hearing a "no" from the customer was not pleasant for anyone.

"I don't want them."

After shaking his head, Lin Yi pointed forward with his hand. "I want those two melons!"

The assistant followed his finger, and after a moment of surprise, couldn't help but warn, "Sir, these are a pair of Yubari King melons… they cost 1,600,000 yen, not 160,000!"

"I know… I want them."

"Melons valued at 1.6 million yen… over 70,000 yuan… I've never eaten fruit this expensive in my life."

"I want to see if, after eating it, I can fly to the heavens."

Lin Yi left the fruit store with a pair of melons, drawing envious stares from countless people.

Even a few bolder girls approached to ask for his phone number.

After a day of being in "invincible mode," Lin Yi had already entered a "sage mode."

For those girls approaching him, he had no interest, no matter how beautiful they were; he'd already been with girls like them.

To those girls, Lin Yi only wanted to say that if they had nothing better to do, they should watch more Korean dramas and learn how ordinary girls manage to charm the rich.

Relying solely on beauty to attract men was too low-level and wouldn't work with him.

-------------------------------

Arriving at the second floor of Mouri's office, Lin Yi knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

After Mouri Kogoro replied, Lin Yi opened the door and entered.

"Sorry to interrupt."

Lin Yi immediately transformed into a gentleman, becoming very polite.

Seeing Lin Yi, Mouri Kogoro put out his cigarette and asked, "Are you here to hire me?"

"I didn't come to hire you… I came specifically to visit you."

Lin Yi said with a smile.

Mouri Kogoro recalled, "Visit? Wait… are you the classmate Ran mentioned?"

"If no other classmates are coming, it should be me," Lin Yi said.

"Have a seat…" Mouri Kogoro pointed to the sofa and then got up from his chair, shouting toward the third floor, "Ran! Your classmate is here!!"

"I know… I'll be right down!"

Hurried footsteps were heard as Ran came down to the second floor, wearing an apron.

Seeing Lin Yi, Ran smiled and approached to introduce, "Dad, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend… Lin Yi."

"Lin, this is my dad… Mouri Kogoro, he's a detective."

"Oh? Boyfriend?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Lin Yi with surprise; he had thought it would be that smug Kudo Shinichi, but he found someone different.

"Hello, Uncle Mouri."

For the sake of his beautiful mother-in-law, Lin Yi took the initiative to stand up and bow to greet him.

Then he offered Mouri Kogoro the pair of Yubari King melons he had brought: "Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

"Yes, I will."

Mouri Kogoro accepted Lin Yi's gift.

Well, he's polite, much better than that Kudo kid… he'd never seen Kudo bring a gift when visiting.

As for Ran having a boyfriend, Mouri Kogoro had no objections; after all, at her age, he had also been dating Eri.

Mouri Kogoro handed the pair of melons to Ran and said, "Ran, go prepare some tea."

"Yes, Lin, please sit for a bit and chat with my dad."

Ran took the pair of melons worth 1,600,000 yen.

Lin Yi, meanwhile, could only sit silently, feeling like a thousand straw horses were running through his mind.

What the heck!

He wanted to keep a low profile and show a bit of style, but ended up with two clueless people who didn't appreciate it… again, his effort felt like a punch against a wall.

If he had known, he would've asked the assistant to put the price on the gift box.

Lin Yi didn't care about the million yen; after all, that money had come easily, so he didn't mind spending it. But he was concerned about his failed attempt to impress, and honestly, brother, that hurt.

Mouri Kogoro sat in front of Lin Yi, took a puff of smoke, and began thinking about what he could chat about with this kid to ease the awkward atmosphere.

It was his first time meeting Lin Yi and he knew nothing about him, except his name and his relationship with Ran.

Hmm… let's start by checking his background.

Once he had his answer, Mouri Kogoro exhaled a puff of white smoke and said, "Lin Yi… how old are you this year?"

"17 years old."

"Oh… good, good."

"…."

"…."

"How are you doing in school?"

"I'm very good at English… now I can communicate fluently with foreigners in English."

"Oh! That's amazing, impressive!"

"…."

"How did you meet Ran?"

"A while ago, I transferred to Teitan High School, and I'm in the same class as Ran. She takes good care of me… and she's a very talented girl, so we gradually started dating."

"Yes, my daughter is indeed excellent."

"…."

"…."

Ahhhhhhh~~~!

I can't stand this painfully awkward way of conversing! After all, you're an adult too! Don't you have your own conversation plan?

Well, forget it, I'll lead the conversation myself.

Letting you take the initiative in the conversation means I won't be able to say much for a long time!

Before Mouri Kogoro could speak, Lin Yi smiled and asked, "Uncle Mouri, how long have you been a detective?"

"Hmm… let me think, I'd say around seven or eight years."

"Oh? Seven or eight years? So… did you have other jobs before?"

"Correct… you have a sharp mind. Before becoming a detective, I was a police officer."

"Police officer?" Lin Yi intentionally raised his tone, with a slightly excited expression: "You wouldn't have been a homicide detective, would you?"

"Oh? How did you know?" Seeing Lin Yi's excited expression, Mouri Kogoro was very pleased with it, feeling a bit proud.

"Because ever since I came in, I felt very uncomfortable under your gaze… I thought that sharp gaze could only belong to a homicide detective. That's why I guessed you were one!"

"Ah, hahaha… really? Your observation skills are also good… I've kept it so discreet, and yet you discovered it!"

Mouri Kogoro liked the compliment and returned one to Lin Yi.

A typical exchange of courtesy.
