Mai Kona was familiar with bringing Naoto Yoshiwara and Ruri Nishikujo to a small Japanese garden, and immediately a golden retriever greeted them, smiling and leading them to the warm hall.

Mai Konai smiled: "Arthur is my old friend, you sit down first, I'll go and say hello to him." ”

Naoto Yoshihara owed a smile and said, "Auntie, please." ”

Mai Kona's eyes turned on Naoto Yoshihara and Ruri Nishikujo, and then asked the waiter to take her inside again.

Naoto Yoshiwara turned his head to look at his surroundings and found that it looked ordinary on the outside, but on the inside, it was completely in the style of a top French restaurant, and the décor was quite flashy. He was very gentlemanly and helped Nishikujo Ruri pull out the chair, set her up before sitting on the opposite side, and asked with a dry cough, "Did Lingtang misunderstand something?"

This first time we met, we had to invite them to dinner, and this kind of thing is not common anywhere.

Nishikujo Ruri looked at the salt shaker on the dining table and said lightly: "That's what she looks like, everything comes according to her own temperament, and she doesn't care about other people's feelings at all." ”

"Actually, if you don't want her to misunderstand, just put ...... Guess and talk to her, isn't it?" Naoto Yoshihara pointed to his face - it is impossible for any mother to invite someone suspected of beating her daughter into half a pig's head!

Ruri Nishikujo finally glanced up at Naoto Yoshihara, "That's a work matter, I don't want to involve my family." She pondered for a moment and then asked, "You said that you have nothing to do with the kidnapping case, so who does this case have to do with it?" Hoshino-chan? I don't want to hold you accountable for hurting me, I don't blame you for being injured in your hands because I am not good at learning...... I just want to know the truth!"

Naoto Yoshiwara sighed: "I swear it has nothing to do with us at all! Hoshino, you also know her, she has a strong sense of justice, and there are a lot of scruples, so it is impossible to get involved in this kind of incident." ”

Nishikujo Ruri asked unrelentingly, "Is that related to Dr. Uesugi?"

"There is no such person as Uesugi in the world, we have already determined it!" said Naoto Yoshihara with a shake of his head, a little melancholy in his tone. Uesugi has cut off the past, and the person who is alive now is probably not friends with him anymore - he doesn't want his daughter, let alone friends.

Only when she's dead.

Ruri Nishikujo looked at Naoto Yoshihara's face, speculating in his heart that there was some truth in his words. In her heart, Naoto Yoshihara's credibility is extremely low, and it is too much to believe one of ten sentences, but at this moment, she really can't find a problem, and she suddenly feels a little dazed.

At that time, this man appeared at the scene just to go to Ito Taisho for questioning? Just to confirm the life and death of Kata Uesugi? No wonder Naina Hoshino was carrying ...... If you don't get any information from him, will you lose so unexplained? Don't even know who you lost to?

Naoto Yoshihara saw that her face was not very good, needless to say that half of the swollen was not swollen, and there was no blood and paleness, so he said thoughtfully: "If you are uncomfortable, you can go first, and I will deal with it here." ”

Nishikujo Ruri stared at him for a while, tilted his head slightly, and said lightly: "Even if I can temporarily believe that you have nothing to do with the case, it is impossible for you to be alone with my mother...... She and we are not the same person, you understand why I came with me!"

Naoto Yoshiwara was speechless for a while, why did he always have a bad impression in the hearts of others? He is not a pervert, how can he be malicious to people who have nothing to do with him.

It's just that he has a criminal record, and he always has a little weakness in the face of the officialdom of Nishikujo Ruri. He said with some sneer: "My aunt is still very good, how could I hurt her for no reason, your worries are really superfluous." But since you don't worry, then it's the intersection of this meal, and I'll stay away in the future. ”

Nishikujo Ruri directly bowed his head to express his gratitude, and then said lightly: "It's also good for you not to deal with her, don't be deceived by her appearance, she doesn't seem to be easy to get along with." ”

There was a hint of resentment in her tone.

"What do you mean by that?"

Nishikujo Ruriken's eyebrows raised slightly, "She's two things outside, and she's at home. On the outside, she is a well-known artist, a well-connected socialite, elegant in her words and deeds, and is known as a model of elegant women, but at home she is a spoiled child. Do you know why I'm here? When something happened to me, she ran to my grandfather's house and made a big noise, crying and shouting, accusing my grandfather of causing me to be like this, and making my grandfather very angry -- she completely forgot who gave me to my grandfather in order to pursue the freedom of marriage! I was afraid that she would make my grandfather angry, so I had to agree to stay here with her for a while, and she also arranged many activities to introduce me to some young talents! She is like this, she can do whatever she wants since she was a child, and it doesn't matter to her what others think, or the responsibilities and obligations she should bear. She is a person who lives for herself, and she cares about me only because she wants her daughter again!"

Naoto Yoshihara took a breath of cool air, this is really a scripture that is difficult to read!

Nishikujo Ruri finally said lightly: "Her first acquaintance is very good, everyone will like her, but her nature has never changed." After a long period of contact, you will know that she is selfish and domineering, and she can make all kinds of rude demands to others, so you had better not have too deep intersections with her. ”

Naoto Yoshihara laughed and said, "Probably I haven't suffered anything in my life!"

Nishikujo Ruri bowed slightly: "There are always some people in this world who are very lucky, and she is that kind of person." has a background, is a woman, or a well-known person, even if she makes an rude request, the little people not only dare not refuse, but also flatter her with a smile, and the big people are inconvenient to deal with her, and it is difficult to refuse. ”

Naoto Yoshiwara asked curiously, "Did she make rude requests to you?"

Nishikujo Ruri: "What do you think? I should have been recuperating at home!"

Naoto Yoshihara couldn't help laughing, it's bad enough to have such a mother on the stall, she has to come out with half a pig's head to be seen.

Nishikujo Ruri looked at Naoto Yoshihara's laughter lightly, and after a while, he seemed to be infected too, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend, and asked, "You should have experienced a lot of unpleasant things before, why can you still laugh so much?"

Naoto Yoshihara lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "Betrayal, betrayal, the people around you keep dying, and you can't do anything about the disgusting atrocities, do you mean these? These do make people feel uncomfortable when they think about it, but people can have a bottom line -- you don't interfere with others, just keep your own bottom line! You don't need to take care of things that have nothing to do with you, then it doesn't matter! If you are poor, you are left alone, and I don't have much ability, so you don't need to take care of what you shouldn't care." ”

Nishikujo Ruri frowned and said, "You have an easy life...... If someone touches your bottom line, you're going to start doing evil?"

"I can protect myself, I can always protect myself!"

Nishikujo Ruri was sunny, too lazy to refute. However, she is a little envious of Naoto Yoshihara's simple life-many times, people have too many scruples, so they are not allowed to be free.

The two of them chatted, perhaps because of the compatibility, and they chatted very speculatively. At this time, Mai Kona came back and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

Naoto Yoshihara glanced at Ruri Nishikujo, got up to help Mai Shina pull out the chair, and replied with a chuckle, "Talked about some interesting things from the past." ”

Mai Xinna looked at the smile that had just disappeared from the corner of Nishikujo Ruri's mouth, and was satisfied, and said after sitting sideways: "Yoshihara-kun, you are different from ordinary people, others are avoiding Ruri at this time, but you are ...... This is really a hardship to see the truth!" She seemed to be very upset for her daughter, "Liuli used to treat her subordinates very well, and she couldn't forget them for any good, but now she has an accident, and those people are running faster than the other, not even making a phone call, and their character is not good." If only everyone were like you!"

Yoshiwara Naoto Ichiraku, is this saying that his character is good? This kind of evaluation is rare!

Mai Shinna turned her head to Nishikujo Ruri and said, "You shouldn't have been a police officer in the first place, it's bitter, dirty and dangerous, I think you should take this opportunity to simply resign!"

Nishikujo Ruri looked down at the desktop and said lightly: "I'm a policeman, isn't this something you and your grandfather have agreed on a long time ago?"

Mai said dotingly: "It's been almost thirty years, and besides, haven't you already been a policeman? The agreement has been completed! Liuli, you can choose your own life!"

Nishikujo Ruri was silent, and his face was bleak.

Mai Xinna is not in a hurry to see her silent refusal, anyway, there is still a lot of time, so you can persuade slowly. If it doesn't work, she can go back to her home to make trouble, anyway, after so many years, she can make trouble with whatever she wants, so it should be no problem.

At this time, the sommelier came over and asked in a low voice in French: "Madame Mai, today's main dish is the leg of lamb at seven o'clock, can you choose last year's light wine from Weido?"

"Yes!" Mai Shina decided not to let go, and the sommelier went directly to the cellar to get the wine.

Naoto Yoshiwara asked a little strangely, "Doesn't my aunt have her husband's surname?"

Mai Xinna smiled: "It's a new era, although we shouldn't completely abandon traditional folk customs, but women should also be independent, and there are some customs that are too demeaning to women, I don't think they should be followed." ”

Naoto Yoshiwara nodded and said, "I see!"

Mai Shinna looked around at the decoration in the restaurant, seemed to miss it, and said, "Does Yoshihara-kun think it's strange? I went to study in France when I was young, and the atmosphere there is better than that of Toei, not so depressed, and there is no patriarchal style. If I hadn't learned the belief of freedom in France, I would probably have taken someone else's last name by now...... Fortunately, I met Ruri's father, so I avoided the fate of becoming someone else's appendage. ”

Naoto Yoshihara noticed that Ruri Nishikujo's face was even more ugly, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "What does uncle do?"

Mai Shina had a gentle smile on her face: "He's running a half-dead dojo......"

Nishikujo Ruri interrupted her and interjected, "My father is the heir of the Yokoyama school of Jiu-Jitsu, and although Jiu-Jitsu is in decline now, the dojo is still thriving under his efforts, and it is far from being half-dead. ”

Mai Xinna smiled helplessly, "I don't dislike him, I support him to stick to his original intention...... Liuli, it's because I worked hard at the beginning that I am so happy with your father today. ”

Naoto Yoshihara was a little surprised, this Nishikujo Ruri's mother is a bit legendary! Born in a famous family, he went to France to study, and then eloped to marry a martial artist, and then sold his daughter and reconciled with his parents and became a celebrity, this life is colorful enough, but ......

He looked at Ruri Nishikujo and asked hesitantly, "Jiu-Jitsu...... Is it that jiu-jitsu?"

Ruri Nishikujo nodded silently.

Jiu-Jitsu is the predecessor of Judo, and unlike Judo, a performance-like sport, Jiu-Jitsu was born to kill people empty-handed.

Judo is a low-confrontation sport that wins the game by knocking the opponent down, emphasizing mastery of skill rather than a balance of power – it's a display of skill, showing skill through confrontation, using skill to show beauty, and the difference in strength is fine as long as it's not too outrageous.

Jiu-Jitsu is different, Jiu-Jitsu originated from the art of empty-handed killing, which was originally used to fight against the white blade with empty hands when the blade was lost on the battlefield, and the strength and skill were indispensable.

There are many schools of jiu-jitsu inheritance, but in a society governed by the rule of law, this kind of martial arts with the purpose of killing people naturally has no market, and only a few people are still holding on. Jiu-Jitsu focuses on hidden killing, joint skills are the mainstay, and explosive power is king, instantly disabling and killing the opponent. In the past, it was one of the two major murder techniques in Toei and Iaido, and even in a sense, Jiu-Jitsu was more vicious.

Juhe Dao was wearing a two-meter-long knife, and the opponent was directly numb in his scalp when he saw it, and he was extremely vigilant ten meters away.

Jiu-Jitsu approached quietly with his empty hands, and instantly erupted, and the other party's neck was torn, maybe he would laugh.

Naoto Yoshihara's gaze couldn't help but turn around Nishikujo Ruri a few times. No wonder she always thinks that she has practiced, eighty percent of what she has learned is jiu-jitsu, this technique is very vicious, and she will have to guard against it in the future.

Mai Konona discussed with her daughter how women can be happy, then turned to look at Naoto Yoshiwara, and asked strangely, "Does Yoshihara-kun know a lot about martial arts?

Naoto Yoshihara was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "It's just a little superficial, and I also learned a little self-defense, just to strengthen my body." ”

Nishikujo Ruri glanced at Naoto Yoshihara lightly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was a little disdainful. Mai Xinna was very happy and praised: "It's good to exercise regularly!"

Nishikujo Ruri was sunburned, and his eyes fell on Naoto Yoshihara's rough big hand - exercise? This guy can kill people with one punch!

The sommelier finally fetched the wine and brought it to Mai Shinna to ask her to look at the label and confirm the name, vintage, and producer.

Mai Shina saw that Naoto Yoshiwara was pleasing to the eye at this time - tall, elite in the shopping mall, good-tempered, caring for his daughter, polite and respectful - and hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled: "Yoshihara-kun, you come to try the bar!"
