Chapter 799 Shiho: Just kidding!
"You're finally back............................"
A ghostly voice echoed through the empty villa...
Combined with the dim atmosphere and the ghostly figure of Ms. Shiho, even Lin Jiayou, who had never been a big believer in the supernatural, couldn't help but shudder.
Oh my god, could Shirley have been possessed by some kind of Sadako? How terrifying...
Lin Jiayou muttered to himself.
However, being a staunch materialist, he immediately dismissed this unrealistic idea...................................
Even if, even if many events have occurred involving Lin Jiayou that cannot be explained by science and can only be attributed to Detective Conan—
In the long term, the soul can travel through worlds; in the short term, this physical body of mine is rather unscientific...
Of course, physical matters can also be explained using the usual style of this time.
After all, for Ran, a mere national high school girl champion, to be able to smash a telephone pole with her bare hands is simply not in line with the science of her past life...
While I'm slightly stronger than her by a tiny bit, it could be attributed to biological modifications—in short, although it's unscientific, it's part of Detective Conan's...
As for soul transmigration, Lin Jiayou couldn't understand it for the time being, and could only attribute it to the fact that perhaps his previous life was just a very real... dream?
Surely this realistic life we're living now can't all be a dream...................................
After thinking for a moment, Lin Jiayou's thoughts returned to the present.
He carefully examined Miss Shirley in front of him, and after confirming that she wasn't some kind of ghost from a Chinese ghost story, he immediately understood the reason—
This is Sherry.........................
He's jealous.........................
Jealousy is one thing, but there's no need to torture yourself with such a frightening method...
"Cough cough,"
Lin Jiayou coughed lightly twice.
"Hey Shiho, didn't I tell you today I'd be back a little late...?"
"It's only 8:30 now, about an hour later than usual when you get home from get off work..."
"Hmm~"
Sherry continued speaking slowly in that soft, melancholic voice.
"Indeed, it was 'only' an hour late..............................."
She emphasized the word "so-and" which made Lin Jiayou even more uneasy.
He was about to explain when he heard Sherry continue speaking.
"But why are you comparing your one hour to mine...?"
"You almost never go out..."
"Even if you're doing a mission, you'll make sure to be back before I get home..."
As a genius who graduated with a doctorate at fifteen and led an organization with the world's top researchers to develop groundbreaking drugs by eighteen, Sherry's intelligence is by no means low.
Almost instantly, she discovered the loopholes in Lin Jiayou's words...
She then even brought up Lin Jiayou's work schedule when doing tasks to refute this...
This was truly a powerful punch, landing squarely on Lin Jiayou's body.................................
"I.........................."
Lin Chia-yu was about to explain—
Although Shirley's approach was aggressive, I have nothing to hide and I have nothing to fear. I'll just deal with it honestly.
Who knew, Sherry didn't give him any room to explain at all............................
She let out a soft sigh, then reached out and pointed to the small stool that seemed to have been prepared for Lin Jiayou, and the bowl of pork chop rice on the table.
Please sit down...........................
"Eat something, and then you'll have to confess everything honestly..."
Lin Jiayou shook his head helplessly, but still sat down on the small stool.
He didn't touch the pork chop rice in front of him—
That was clearly a malicious preparation; there might be something bad waiting for him inside...
Although his body was already immune to all poisons, Lin Jiayou didn't want to make himself feel disgusted any further...
"Today, I just spent a little longer instructing Junhui on how to use it,"
Lin Jiayou sat upright on a small stool, and thanks to his outstanding height, he was roughly the same height as Shirley, who was sitting in a normal chair.
He looked straight ahead, a wry smile on his face, as he explained.
"Gin suddenly gave me a new task today, which I think is pretty good, so I'm planning to pass it on to Kimi..."
"As you know, this is Junhui's first mission related to the organization, and the rewards from this mission are considerable; the organization values it quite a bit..."
"As her mentor, it's alright for me to help her out, isn't it...?"
"Besides, you know Junhui; you two have a good relationship, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about..............................."
"Mmm mmm..."
As Shirley listened to Lin Jiayou's words, she suddenly interrupted him with a series of perfunctory replies.
"You're right, you make a good point..."
"This is Junhui's first major mission for the organization, and as her mentor, you really need to personally oversee it..."
"I know Junhui's people well. She probably has some ulterior motives towards you, but she definitely wouldn't dare to show it..."
“......................................”
Lin Jiayou did not speak.
He was genuinely confused.
No, you already know all of this, and you understand all the ins and outs, so why did you still pull this stunt?
Are you bored?
Is there going to be a twist later? Maybe I should just keep quiet...
"but..............................."
Sure enough, a twist occurred with Shirley.
Lin Jiayou breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as I expected, Sherry was still the same Sherry........................
It's okay. Even if there's a twist, don't worry. Just reason with her, and Shirley will understand.
"but what?"
Lin Jiayou looked at Shirley with some confusion.
Sherry smiled gently.
"Since I already know all this, why did I still pull this stunt...?"
"Why........................."
Lin Jiayou, being very honest, cooperated with Shirley, playing the role of a straight man in the comedy duo...
Sherry licked her lips, a playful glint in her eyes.......................
"Of course it is................................"
As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand and snapped her fingers.
With a "click," all the lights in the villa turned on at once.
Lin Jiayou was even more confused. What...what...what...?
Seeing Lin Jiayou's bewildered expression, Shirley couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, bursting into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha..............................."
"Of course I was just kidding!"
She walked over to Lin Jiayou, put her arm around her shoulder, and gave her a look that said, "Are you stupid?"
"You don't actually think I'm that neurotic, that I'd subject you to torture for being an hour late coming home, do you...?"
"Forehead.............................."
Lin Chia-yu could only manage an awkward smile.
Excuse me, ma'am, your acting was so convincing just now, we really believed you were that kind of person.................................
While it's true that if you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear, but...
This scene really has nothing to do with whether you've done anything wrong!
It's like one day you're suddenly taken away by the police. Your first reaction isn't that they've arrested the wrong person, but rather whether you've unintentionally done something wrong...
Shirley chuckled, massaged Lin Jiayou's shoulders, and said with a flattering smile,
"Okay, okay, just kidding, don't take it to heart............................"
“I know who you are and who Junhui is.”
"Don't worry about just one day or one afternoon; even if you two were out on a mission for two or three days, I'd be perfectly at ease..."
hehe............................
Lin Jiayou smiled disdainfully to himself.
Sherry, even if you say that, if I were to go out on a mission with Shimabukuro Kimie for two or three days, wouldn't you be furious? How could you possibly feel at ease?
I bet the first thing you'd do upon hearing this is rush to Gin's villa and loudly question him about whether he has ulterior motives...
