In the European style living room. In the European style living room.

Contrary to the opulent and luxurious style you might expect, the furniture here looks old, but it doesn't feel shabby.

The old furniture is in good condition, and the decoration of the whole space has a classical and traditional European charm, which makes people feel a sense of historical precipitation.

It was the taste of time, and there were flower arrangements carefully decorated by the hostess in the room, adding a few bright colors to the place.

At this moment, Takagi and Tang Ze stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room and looked at the scenery of the courtyard, but their faces were a little unnatural.

Because in front of the long table on the side, there were three wives of the same age as Mrs. Matsushita, who were looking at Tang Ze and the two curiously, and anyone who kept staring at the two would feel a little awkward.

In the end, Takagi couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to turn his head, and for a while, the three wives were also a little embarrassed to bow on the seat, which was regarded as a greeting.

Tang Ze and the two bowed in return, also showing a slightly embarrassed and polite smile.

"It's the first time I've seen a real police officer." The lady in the sky blue coat smiled and spoke first, breaking some of the embarrassment.

"Is it the so-called "criminal investigation" to ask all kinds of people to ask questions? The wife in the black sweater asked with a mixed smile.

"Ahh yes, hey, hey..."

Faced with the slightly curious enthusiasm of the wives, Takagi replied with a smile, "But it should be different from the handsome criminal who holds a gun in the TV series, and in fact, visiting around is also a criminal job." ”

To put it simply, it's an awkward chat, there are strangers on both sides, what else can you do if you are in the same room.

However, the enthusiasm of the two ladies set off the other wife in a white dress who was a little unsociable, and the other party did not speak, but seemed to be preoccupied.

And at this moment, Mrs. Matsushita came over with the brewed tea, "If you don't mind, let's sit together?" ”

"You're welcome, then."

Accompanied by Tang Ze and the two of them sitting, Tang Ze picked up the teacup in front of him and praised: "This is the intention." ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Matsushita wondered.

"The flowers on the teacup are the same as those on the table." Tang Ze put down the quilt and looked at the flower arrangement on the table in front of him.

"Ah, that's amazing, it's a crime, you're the first to find out." Mrs. Matsushita exclaimed, "What a keen insight. ”

"Is the crime so bad?" The wife in the black sweater looked at Officer Takagi in amazement and asked.

"No, no, Tang Ze Criminal is also one of the best elites in our Metropolitan Police Department." Takagi hurriedly waved his hand.

"That sounds familiar."

"Ah, by the way, it's the one in the newspaper before, right?"

In the midst of laughter, the wives laughed and talked.

Seeing that there was a tendency to continue chatting, Takagi quickly changed the subject, "That... Ladies, yes..."

"Ah, we're all friends." Mrs. Matsushita explained with a smile.

"We all came to learn some flower arrangement and etiquette with Matsushita-sensei." The lady in the blue sweater explained with a smile.

"Don't call the teacher." Mrs. Matsushita said helplessly: "I'm just sharing what my mother gave me with you." ”

"The mother, is that the one?" Tang Ze stood up and walked to the side of the photo that was placed on the counter.

There are four people in the photo, Mrs. Matsushita and her husband, and a newborn child who doesn't look very old, and the other old woman should be the mother of the other party.

She wears a pair of glasses, a gray coat, a gray-black scarf around her neck, and a black lady's beret on her head.

Looking at the material, it seems that there is a fur component, and even the clothes that Mrs. was wearing at that time were also black fur clothes.

It can be seen that the other party's family is a rich family, and these whole are made of all kinds of rare fur clothes, which can be seen everywhere in the other party's home.

Of course, the clothes worn by the two people in the photo are not like the fluffy coat around the neck like the big winter, but more like the feeling of a woolen coat, but the material is made of fur.

"Well, my mother passed away five years ago." Mrs. Matsushita said with some nostalgia.

"That medal is very similar to that mother's." Tang Ze pointed to the badge worn by Mrs. Matsushita and said with a smile.

"Huh? Why? Mrs. Matsushita touched the medal and asked rhetorically.

Tang Ze didn't speak, just smiled slightly, and then pointed to the badge worn by his mother under the left shoulder in the photo, and the shape of the badge there was exactly the same as the one worn by Mrs. Matsushita now.

"Ah, that's sharp." Mrs. Matsushita laughed helplessly, and then the wives on the side also heard a low laugh.

"Ah, and that hat too."

Karasawa stretched out his index finger and pointed to the other side of the corridor, where a lovely girl stood with that black lady's beret.

"Oops, May-chan, kawaii~"

Following Tang Ze's fingers, the wives saw the girl standing there, and they all smiled and stretched out their hands to greet each other.

"May, you're making trouble again..."

Although Mrs. Matsushita said so, her eyes were full of doting.

"But, didn't you say give it to me?" May touched her hat and said.

"Yes, but that's going to be until I get a little older in May." Mrs. Matsushita held her daughter's shoulder, "Look, there are guests, don't you want to say hello?" ”

"How many wows are empty~"

The lovely female voice sounded, and the girl bowed slightly to everyone present, and the wives, Tang Ze and others also bowed in return.

Mrs. Matsushita smiled and nodded to the crowd, and then dragged her daughter to the room.

"It's nice to pass it from grandmother to mother and from mother to daughter like that." The lady in the sky blue dress couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the disappeared mother and daughter.

"That's how good things are inherited." The wife in the black sweater chimed in.

"At this point, we should also study hard." Mrs. in the white dress, who had not spoken much, said with a smile.

"Although there is nothing to pass on~"

"It's really~"

With the joking words of the two ladies in the sky blue and black sweaters, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious for a while.

And at this moment, Tang Ze smiled in agreement, and at the same time, a quick and clear sentence sounded straight out of his mouth: "Do Sanae Sanae and the three ladies often come to Mrs. Matsushita's house?" ”

In an instant, the previous laughter came to an abrupt end, and the smiles on the faces of the three of them froze on their faces.

It was as if the previous atmosphere of harmony was just an illusion.
