Sure enough, without any surprises from Chongzong, Uesugi Yui quickly came up with an idea.

She did hesitate for a moment, not speaking immediately.

Uesugi Yui clasped her hands together, rubbing her thumbs back and forth, eyes downcast, contemplating whether to speak or not.

Chongzong watched, but had no reaction.

The same old saying.

Don't rush her.

Don't pressure her.

Let her figure it out on her own and speak up.

Finally, after a while, Uesugi Yui spoke up.

"I have an idea." (Uesugi Yui)

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's gaze focused on Uesugi Yui.

"Someone like Kuroda must have relevant information in the police system. We can figure out a way to obtain this information." (Uesugi Yui)

"Eh? Yui-sister, are we going to invade the police station?" (Mizuo)

For some reason, sparkles appeared in Mizuo's eyes.

Hey, we're talking about invading a police station, not going to an amusement park, what's gotten you so excited, kiddo?

Koga Mizuo, also known as the little mischief maker who doesn't shy away from big things.

"Of course not!" (Uesugi Yui)

Seeing Mizuo's misunderstanding, Uesugi Yui hurriedly explained.

"I have a junior, her father works at the police station. When we had dinner together before, she mentioned that her father works from home every weekend, logging into the police system on his laptop to search for criminals' information." (Uesugi Yui)

"Yui-sister, are you talking about Ma...Katagiri-san?" (Chongzong)

Chongzong almost blurted out calling her Mai, but managed to stop himself in time and switched to calling her Katagiri-san.

Otherwise, he might have accidentally brought disaster upon himself again.

"Yes." (Uesugi Yui)

"So, my idea is this: on a weekend, we'll spend a day at Mai's, that is, Katagiri-san's, while her father is working. We can visit her house when her father is busy entertaining us, possibly leaving his computer unattended for us to sneak a peek at Kuroda's information." (Uesugi Yui)

"Mai has a two to three-year-old little sister at home, named Komoe. Yuki, Mizuo, you'll come with me and be in charge of playing with Komoe, making our chances of success higher." (Uesugi Yui)

"Chongzong, I feel if you go along, it might raise suspicions, so you should stay at home or do something else." (Uesugi Yui)

"So, that's my idea. What do you all think?" (Uesugi Yui)

Looking at Uesugi Yui silently waiting for everyone's response, Chongzong was stunned.

He originally thought that Uesugi Yui would directly ask Dojou Kazuaki for Hattori's information.

But he didn't expect that she would come up with such a bold plan.

Obviously, she also took into consideration Chongzong's concerns, fearing that Dojou Kazuaki would take direct control of the matter and disrupt their plans.

- Sister Yui has changed.

Chongzong silently sighed.

Perhaps it was because she had been involved in too many of Chongzong's various borderline legal activities, which had also changed Uesugi Yui's original way of thinking.

Whether this is good or bad for the girl who once aspired to be a just police officer remains to be seen.

At this moment, Chongzong didn't think too much about it.
