I'm in Detective Conan, and I start with the Grand Theft Auto system.

Lin Shen drove his black sedan smoothly through the streets late at night.

Streetlights swept past the car windows one by one, their orange glow flickering in and out of the carriage.

Eri Kisaki sat in the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened, holding the paper bag containing her clothes that she had changed out of.

She turned to look at Lin Shen's profile and broke the silence, saying, "President Lin, thank you so much for tonight."

"I had to take a bath, eat, and you even had to drive me there."

Lin Shen rested one hand on the steering wheel and casually adjusted the angle of the air conditioning vent with the other, his tone relaxed: "No trouble at all, just a tap on the gas."

He paused, as if thinking about something, and then spoke again: "But Attorney Fei, you'll have to come over to coordinate with me every few days, which is quite a hassle."

"Why don't you bring some personal items next time you come over, so you can stay overnight? Anyway, I have plenty of empty rooms in my house, and it's not too far from your workplace."

When Eri heard this, her first reaction was not to think that "Lin Shen wants to seduce me".

Almost instinctively, she thought of another aspect: the amount of money she was going to launder was no small sum; it was on the scale of tens of billions of yen.

Put yourself in her shoes. If she were Lin Shen, and someone else was handling such a large sum of dirty money for her, she would definitely want to keep that person under her watchful eye to feel at ease.

And then there was the wall full of guns at the underground shooting range tonight. Now that she thinks back on it, she feels that Lin Shen probably took her to the shooting range not just to help her relieve stress.

It was more like a subtle display and warning: Look, I have so many guns, I can be rude to you anytime I want.

In that instant, many thoughts raced through Eri Kisaki's mind.

But her expression didn't change. After a few seconds of silence, she gave a gentle smile and replied in a joyful tone, "Really? That's wonderful."

She adjusted her posture slightly to relax more in the chair. "If President Lin doesn't mind, I would really like to move in there."

As she said this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips. "You know, I'm usually so busy that I don't even have time to breathe. I spend most of my time in the firm."

"My apartment is basically empty, but I still have to pay rent and management fees every month. It's a complete waste of money."

She turned to look at Lin Shen, her smile carrying a polite sincerity, "Besides, if I move there, I can chat with Miss Mingmei from time to time, which is also quite nice."

Lin Shen was genuinely surprised that Eri Kisaki agreed so readily.

He had only asked casually, and his original meaning was simply "You can stay overnight if you're busy late," but Eri Kisaki interpreted it as "Move in and live here permanently."

However, he soon realized that Eri Kisaki was a smart person.

She knew the size of the funds she was handling and was also aware that Lin Shen couldn't possibly trust her completely.

Her agreement to move in was a proactive move to dispel Lin Shen's wariness and suspicion towards her.

Lin Shen's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

He enjoys dealing with intelligent people, because he can understand things without them having to spell them out, and they will take the initiative to do things properly.

This feeling is indeed very worry-free.

As he turned the steering wheel around the corner, he said in an approving tone, "Okay, I'll have Mingmei prepare that room for you in advance."

Eri nodded, then, as if remembering something, turned slightly to the side, her tone becoming serious:

"However, President Lin, I'll have to trouble you to keep this move a secret from Xiaolan. If she finds out, she'll definitely start asking all sorts of questions... and then it'll be harder to explain."

Lin Shen nodded, his tone crisp and decisive: "Don't worry. I won't let Xiao Lan know."

Outside the car window, the Tokyo night view flowed slowly through the darkness.

The two didn't speak again, but the silence in the carriage wasn't awkward; instead, it carried a tacit understanding that they both knew without needing to say more.

----------

The black sedan stopped in front of the upscale apartment building where Eri Kisaki lived.

The streetlights cast dappled light and shadows through the ginkgo leaves on both sides of the road, and a cool night breeze gently blew by.

Lin Shen parked the car, and Fei Ying unbuckled her seatbelt. Just as she was about to open the car door to say goodbye to Lin Shen, her gaze inadvertently swept towards the direction of the apartment building entrance, and her movements paused slightly.

A person was standing under the streetlight in front of the apartment building.

A man with dark skin, wearing a dark gray suit.

He was holding a file folder and looked like he had been waiting downstairs for a while.

He saw Eri Kisaki get out of the passenger seat of the black sedan, and his expression stiffened slightly, especially when he saw a young man sitting in the driver's seat.

His gaze swept quickly across the license plate before returning to Eri Kisaki, the brief stiffness quickly masked by a professional smile.

He took a deep breath and told himself: It's perfectly normal for a woman as outstanding as Eri Kisaki to have several suitors.

If we can't even withstand this little bit of trouble, then what's the point of chasing after it? He adjusted his mindset, and the smile on his face became even more composed and appropriate.

Eri closed the car door and was somewhat surprised to see the person, but she still politely walked over: "Attorney Saku? What are you doing here?"

Saku Norifumi stepped forward with a smile, handing over the file folder in his hand, his tone gentle and courteous:

"Attorney Fei, didn't you tell me last time that you needed case files?"

"I just picked up the case closure documents from over there today, and I thought you might need them urgently, so I brought them to you on my way."

Eri Kisaki took the file bag, gave a polite smile, and expressed her gratitude in a perfectly measured tone:

"Thank you so much, Attorney Saku. But next time, you can just deliver it to my office directly; there's no need to make a special trip to my home."

Her tone was polite yet distant, carrying a subtle but undeniable sense of boundary.

Saku Norifumi naturally sensed the boundary, but his smile remained unchanged, still gentle and polite: "It's nothing, I just happened to be passing by and had some business to take care of, so I brought him along."

After he finished speaking, his gaze naturally passed over Eri Kisaki's shoulder and landed on the black car that had not yet driven away and Lin Shen.

He tilted his head slightly and asked in a casual tone, "And this gentleman is...?"

Eri Kisaki turned to the side and introduced in a calm tone, "This is President Hayashi of the coffee shop."

Her introduction was very concise, without any unnecessary information or intimate language.

Saku Norifumi nodded knowingly, his smile becoming even warmer.

He proactively walked to the passenger side window, took out his business card holder from his pocket, pulled out a business card, and handed it over with both hands, his demeanor very polite.

"Saku Hoji is a lawyer who specializes in criminal cases. President Hayashi, please feel free to contact me anytime if you need any legal assistance in the future."

Lin Shen sat in the driver's seat, took the business card, glanced at it, smiled, and casually placed it in the storage compartment next to the center console. He didn't take it with both hands like Saku Norifumi did, nor did he hand his own business card back.

He simply turned his head and said to Eri Kisaki, "Attorney Kisaki, you should go back and rest."

Then he turned his gaze back to Saku Hoji, his tone calm but with an undeniable casualness, "Attorney Saku, get in the car, I'll give you a ride."

Upon hearing this, Eri immediately understood that Lin Shen was "dealing with" this trouble for her.

She smiled obligingly and nodded slightly to Lin Shen: "Okay, thank you for your help, President Lin. Take care on the road."

After saying that, she politely nodded to Saku Norifumi, then turned around, swiped her card, and entered the apartment building.

The high heels made a crisp, rhythmic sound on the marble floor until the elevator doors closed and the figure completely disappeared into the depths of the lobby.

Saku Norifumi stood there, the document bag he had already handed over making him lose any reason to stay downstairs.

He turned his head and glanced at Lin Shen through the car window, knowing full well that the other party was deliberately trying to get rid of him.

But Saku Hoshi was not someone who could be easily dealt with.

He quickly calculated in his mind: he was a well-known criminal lawyer in the industry, with social status, income, and connections all standing out!

The person across the street is just a small coffee shop owner, what's there to be afraid of?

A faint smile played at the corners of his lips as he opened the passenger door and got in. He fastened his seatbelt, glanced at Lin Shen, and said calmly and confidently, "Then I'll have to trouble President Lin."

Lin Shen smiled, turned on his turn signal, and slowly drove away from the apartment building.
