Is that so...?

Cohen listened to Eri Akechi's words and shook his head, disagreeing with her in his heart...

What Eri Akechi found dreamlike, he could only feel helplessness and cowardice from.

If he had been this cowardly back then, perhaps he wouldn't be the cold-blooded killer who picks up a gun now.

However, he didn't say much more...

Everyone has their own understanding of life, and Cohen knew that not everyone has the talent to hit the bullseye on their first shot like him...

Just like myself, I'll never become as strong as Cherry and Gin in this lifetime, no matter how hard I try...

Well, they must have tried really hard...

Although I'm currently engrossed in novels every day, I still occasionally practice my marksmanship...

And so, the dinner between the two parties passed in a cheerful atmosphere.

Tequila got completely drunk, Rena Mizunashi wasn't unhappy at all, Chianti finally took the crucial step, Cohen and Eri Akechi hit it off immediately, and Lin Jiayou and his partner were looking for excitement...

Everyone was very happy.........

Aside from Gin and Vodka, these two unfortunate brothers.

Oh no, vodka eventually found its place—to drink and brag with tequila and the others.

It turns out that he really wasn't suited to chatting with women in non-special settings.

Gin, caught between two older women who were lusting after him, was also suffering from the torment of sounds coming from Tokyo, making his life quite unbearable...

The dinner party lasted until 9 p.m. before everyone went home...

..............................

Half an hour after the dinner ended, at 9:30 p.m. that evening

Lin Jiayou came out of the room and went straight to the hotel reception.

"Mr. Lin, is there anything I can help you with?"

The landlady at the front desk smiled slightly as Lin Jiayou walked over and asked.

Lin Jiayou first looked around to make sure no one was there, then went straight to the point.

“I want you to lock down the bathroom for a while.”

"what?"

The proprietress looked completely bewildered.

What's going on? The bathroom is locked down?

"why?"

The proprietress asked the question instinctively.

Lin Jiayou coughed twice, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his usually emotionless face.

"Well, my wife wants to take a bath with me... um, I mean, together."

"Hahaha......."

The proprietress seemed to have thought of something as well, and secretly glanced at Lin Jiayou's upper body, as if she was fantasizing about something.

After a moment, she spoke with a serious expression.

"Mr. Lin, as you know, our hotel has separate hot springs for men and women, and there are no mixed-gender pools."

"We're sorry, we can't help you achieve this requirement..."

"Ok, I know,"

Lin Jiayou forced himself to overcome his shame and slowly began to speak.

“I understand, that’s why I wanted you to seal off a hot spring pool so that other people can’t get in.”

"You mean we should force you to create a hot spring for the two of you to be alone?"

The proprietress found it somewhat amusing at first.

Who are you, with such a big face?

We even created a private environment for you. Why didn't you just say so and have us dig a pool for you on the spot?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, this is not in accordance with regulations,"

The proprietress refused without hesitation.

"Besides, even if we block off outsiders, there's still a chance you'll be discovered if you go out..."

"As long as we don't bump into the person coming in, the probability of running into them when we go out is very low,"

Lin Jiayou spoke calmly.

The proprietress shook her head inwardly, wondering why this person couldn't understand her polite refusal.

She then spoke.

"No, that won't do. How can our inn operate if we do that? Please don't make things difficult for me..."

"One hundred thousand."

Lin Jiayou spoke expressionlessly.

The proprietress chuckled and shook her head, completely unconcerned about the 100,000 yen.

"Mr. Lin, this isn't about money. We would never do something so unethical..."

"one million."

Lin Jiayou didn't say much, but silently raised the price.

The proprietress's face stiffened, she pursed her lips, and her tone began to sound unnatural.

"This really isn't about money..."

"I only need the time after 10:30,"

Lin Jiayou finally added some conditions, but his voice still lacked emotion.

"Ten million."

"no problem!"

The proprietress didn't insist any longer, nodded decisively, and warmly shook Lin Jiayou's hand.

"We will fully cooperate with you both. I will personally guard the bathroom door and make sure not a single mosquito flies in..."

"Ahem, then no need."

Lin Jiayou blushed.

He suspected the proprietress was trying to get him to peek, but he had no proof...

"All you need to do is put up a sign at the door."

"There won't be anyone after 10:30."

"I will take care of the problems that arise."

"Okay, okay,"

The proprietress nodded repeatedly, her face beaming with smiles.

“Mr. Lin, I really can go and watch the door for you. It wouldn't be any trouble at all. I don't usually go to bed this early anyway…”

"Ahem, I don't think it's necessary..."

Lin Jiayou kept refusing the enthusiastic proprietress's offers.

The proprietress felt a pang of regret, silently took out the card reader, and accepted the ten million yen she had just received...

There was nothing we could do; Mr. Lin had given us too much.

Besides, as he said, there are very few people soaking in the hot springs after 10:30 PM. He only needs to put up a "Under Construction" sign to earn ten million yuan; why wouldn't he do it?

...........................

at the same time

Our 'cold and ruthless' aloof and unattainable Mr. Kurosawa Jin is currently in his room, having activated video call mode on his phone...

"I will never do such a thing again."

Gin, his face cold and menacing, spoke icily into the phone.

However, the bathrobe he was wearing, and the half of his well-defined pectoral muscle peeking out from the V-neck, significantly diminished the power of his words...

Sonoko Suzuki was captivated by his sexy pectoral muscles, and for a moment, she didn't even reply to Gin's cold words...

"I'm talking to you..."

Feeling the aggressive gaze coming from the other end of the video, Gin couldn't take it anymore and said, word by word.

Sonoko Suzuki then came to her senses.

"Cough cough,"

She quickly coughed twice to cover her embarrassment.

"Mr. Yin, I wasn't looking at you, I was just thinking about some study-related issues..."

"I don't care what you're thinking,"

Gin narrowed his eyes, his killing intent surging forth.

"I am now formally informing you that I will never do such a disgusting thing again."

"Hehe, okay, okay, not bad... Oh no, I won't do it, I won't do it..."

Sonoko Suzuki gave a very perfunctory reply.

Gin could tell at a glance that the woman wasn't taking it to heart at all. He was about to feign anger when he heard...

dong dong dong -- dong dong dong --

There was a knock at the door.

Gin frowned, looked towards the sliding door of the room, and said coldly,

"Who?"

"I am Harumi Fukatsu, and I have some things I'd like to discuss with Mr. Kurosawa..."

Outside, a soft, hesitant female voice drifted in.

Upon hearing this, Gin felt a chill run down his spine.

Good grief, harassing him at the dinner party wasn't enough, they actually came to his room! That's really something...

Isn't Fukatsu Harumi the female lead who co-starred with Shibasaki Asuka?

I initially thought this woman looked normal, but it turns out she was also lusting after him!

"Humph!"

Gin snorted coldly, about to refuse.

Sonoko Suzuki, on the other end of the phone, quickly spoke up to stop Gin's actions.

"Mr. Yin, don't rush!"

"Don't you think she must have something to ask you if she comes over so late at night...?"

"Of course I know,"

Gin spoke through gritted teeth.

"How could I not know...?"

"Ahem, we can't jump to conclusions,"

Sonoko Suzuki began spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"I think, even though she's a woman and you're a man, and Mr. Yin, you're very handsome, being all alone..."

"But, just because she came to see you in the middle of the night doesn't necessarily mean she was there to do *that*..."

After rambling on for a long time, they still couldn't come up with anything useful.

Gin was too lazy to listen to Sonoko Suzuki's nonsense, so he stood up for himself, put down his phone, and hung up.

Then he walked to the door and opened it.

"Ah, Mr. Kurosawa, hello, hello, I'm sorry to bother you..."

Upon seeing Gin walk out directly, Fukatsu Harumi was flattered and flustered, and hurriedly rattled off a long string of words...

Gin snorted coldly and spoke in a forceful tone.

"roll!"

boom--

After speaking, he closed the door immediately, not giving Fukatsu Harumi any chance to reply.

The sudden turn of events left Harumi Fukatsu stunned, and her spirits immediately plummeted.

She stood in the doorway of Gin's room, unsure of what to do for a long time...

I encountered so many detectives today, and I thought it was a sign from heaven, but I ended up getting turned away one after another...

The huge gap between reality and expectations caused Harumi Fukatsu to mutter unconsciously.

"Mr. Ryu is like this, and Mr. Kurosawa is like this too. So not all detectives are this enthusiastic...?"

Swah——

The room door was opened again.

Gin reappeared in front of Fukatsu Harumi.

He glanced at her casually and spoke indifferently.

"come in."

"what?"

Harumi Fukatsu was caught off guard by Gin's sudden counterattack.

By the time she realized what was happening, Gin had already gone inside and sat down, so she quickly said...

"Okay, okay, I'm so sorry to bother you..."

"You just said you went to see Mr. Long?"

Gin narrowed his eyes, looking at the somewhat reserved girl in front of him.

Harumi Fukatsu nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, I just contacted Mr. Long, but he didn't respond to me..."

Upon hearing this, Gin's lips twitched slightly.

Tequila didn't respond; it's probably drunk...

"You came to see me and him in the middle of the night because of the detective?"

Gin then asked a question.

Harumi Fukatsu nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, I wanted to talk to you about a case."

"Ah."

Gin nodded slightly, relieved.

He knew it! Fukatsu Harumi looks perfectly normal; she could never be a pervert like Shibasaki Asuka or Anzai Ema. How could she possibly come to his door in the middle of the night...?

Having confirmed this, Gin was somewhat pleased, but he still asked the guests to leave.

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to take cases."

"If you go to Mr. Long about this again, and he doesn't respond, you can go to Mr. Lin instead..."

"Kuro, Mr. Kurosawa..."

Fukatsu Harumi, with a sudden burst of courage, interrupted Gin.

Being interrupted, Gin was naturally unhappy and gave her a dangerous look.

Harumi Fukatsu, however, forced herself to speak.

"Mr. Kurosawa, I've read your reports. I know you're stronger than both Mr. Ryu and Mr. Hayashi, and you're a kind person with a cold exterior but a warm heart. I just want you to hear my story..."

Cold on the outside but warm on the inside, a good person...

Gin listened to Harumi Fukatsu's description and took a deep breath.

He swore it was the most vicious comment he had ever heard in his life..........

"Tell me about it."

Gin remained expressionless and nodded to Fukatsu Harumi.

Although this person's evaluation wasn't very accurate, at least they knew they were better than Cherry, which was quite good.

There's no harm in listening, so let her have her say...

"This happened to one of my senior classmates..."

Harumi Fukatsu went on and on, babbling on and on.

Gin was initially dozing off, but then he heard two familiar names...

A meaningful smile appeared on his face; he had already made up his mind...
