"And judging Miss Yun's attitude, she doesn't seem to want too many people to know about this matter."

Xiaolan explained.

"Then let's go up and have a look."

After listening to Xiaolan's words, Yuanzi thought about it and felt that there was some truth, after all, Miss Izumo Yukino had found Xiaolan to discuss, and it would not be good if she brought outsiders over again.

So, the two of them walked into the elevator from the lobby of the apartment and followed the address to the door of room 404.

As soon as Xiaolan pressed the doorbell, Izumo Yukino rushed over and opened the door-

"Thank you, you're really here!"

Xue Nai smiled heartily when she saw Xiaolan and them, and said happily.

"I took the liberty of bothering me."

Xiaolan bowed her head with Yuanzi and greeted politely.

"Come in!"

Seeing this, Xue Nai stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture and welcomed the two in, and the two also followed Xue Nao's footsteps into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

In the living room, there are stylish burgundy curtains, Persian carpets on the floor, and an electronic clock and a doll on a cabinet of Western antiques.

"What a beautiful room!"

Xiaolan admired Xue Nai's room and praised with some envy.

"It's not as good as you say!"

Yukino's voice came from the kitchen, sounding a little shy.

After a while, Xue Nai returned to the living room with the brewed black tea, and Xiaolan and Yuan Zi drank black tea while listening to Xue Nai talk about what happened-

And what Yukino told made both of them shocked and couldn't believe it.

"That gentle Kubo-sensei, did you use violence against Miss Yukino?"

"I can't believe ...... either"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi glanced at each other, and they both saw puzzled expressions on each other's faces.

"I know it's hard to believe."

Yukino lowered her head, and said in a low tone, and then her expression became solemn—

"But everything I said was true."

Yukino said, rolling up the sleeve of the sweater in her left hand and stretching her arm in front of the two of them—

"Ahh

Looking at the cyan marks on Xue Nai's arm that had been beaten, Xiaolan screamed together with Yuanzi.

"What a terrible scar!"

Yuan Zi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and sighed a little shockingly.

"It's not just here, I've got a lot of other scars on my body."

The snow finally couldn't be controlled, and the tears were like pearls with broken threads, sliding across the cheeks and falling.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi looked at the scars on her body and fell silent.

With a trembling voice, Xue Nai continued to tell her terrible experience-

"I was so scared that I couldn't sleep at night, and even when I did, I had nightmares, and when I woke up, I would suddenly feel a sense of uneasiness, which would always remind me of the time when I was beaten by Kubo."

"This ...... This is probably a symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder. ”

Xiaolan's expression became heavier.

"That's right."

Yuan Zi echoed, and her face was similar to Xiaolan's.

"Aren't you going to report him to the police or the courts?"

The garden said as if she couldn't control her anger anymore—

I really didn't expect that the man she liked turned out to be a rude and despicable person. For this, the garden was extremely shocked, and a feeling of betrayal arose spontaneously-

Thinking about it this way, it is better to be wise and gentle.

"I've thought about suing him many times, and I've actually walked to the police station several times, but every time Kubo cries and assures me that he's going to change, and I forgive him again and again."

Choked, Yukino cried.

"But in the end, he hasn't changed, has he?"

Xiaolan said solemnly.

"yes. I'm naïve. However, I really can't tell the person I love! ”

Xue Nai lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly, but tears fell down her knees one by one.

"But if you don't sue him, the matter can't be resolved."

小兰 says:

"In the past, there were women who were brutalized by their boyfriends who came to my dad for help, and her boyfriend was banned from approaching her for six months."

"Actually...... That's why I'm here to ask you......"

Speaking of this, Xue Nai cautiously leaned out and asked:

"Miss Lan's father is a detective, right?"

"Yes."

Xiaolan replied, and then couldn't help but regret that she didn't tell Takato about Xue Nai when she was in the Wise Mansion just now.

"Please let me talk to him!"

Yukino pleaded earnestly.

"My dad has been quite idle lately, so now let's go directly to the office to find him!"

Xiaolan couldn't help but say.

"Thank you, but if you go to the office, it may be ......"

Although Yukino instantly showed a happy expression, the melancholy immediately returned to his face.

"Huh? Why can't I go to the office? ”

Xiaolan said unexpectedly.

"Kubo, he seems to be monitoring my movements all the time. A girl like you wouldn't say anything if he came here, but if my visit to the Maori detective agency was exposed, I don't know what kind of treatment I'd be going to be treated next. ”

Yukino, who was holding the handkerchief tightly, couldn't contain the trembling of her body.

"I see, but my father generally wouldn't accept a commission if he didn't meet directly. He said that if it was only a phone call, there was a risk of being mischievoked. ”

Xiaolan said with some embarrassment.

"That's ......"

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Xue Naida felt disappointed from the bottom of her heart.

"Can Uncle Maori be accommodating about this? It's a life-threatening matter! ”

Yuan Zi asked anxiously for a moment.

"I want to think about ......"

seems to be shrouded in the current atmosphere, Xiaolan and Yuan Zi have become a little anxious, and their thoughts are chaotic-

"It's not a direct meeting, but is it okay to meet with a Maori detective through a computer's video software?"

Yukino asked, looking at the computer on the table.

"Video software?"

Xiao Lan's expression became a little hesitant about this.

And the garden sitting beside her suddenly reflected:

"That's right! That's it! If you use video software, you can't meet each other directly, but you can see each other's faces! This will allow you to avoid Mr. Kubo! ”

"That ...... said"

Xiaolan is still embarrassed:

"But my dad doesn't know how to use a computer!"

"What are you talking about?"

The garden couldn't help but say:

"As long as Xiaolan teaches her uncle how to use video software, she won't ......"

As he spoke, Yuan Zi suddenly realized something, and immediately stood up from the sofa and said loudly:

"That's right! Why do you have to find an uncle! We know more than one detective, my uncle! Aren't you going to be Mr. Wise! ”

Because Xiaolan and Xue Nai talked about the Maori detective mentioned before, for a while, everyone didn't think that there was another choice to help Miss Xue Nai!

"That's right! Mr. Wise! ”

Xiaolan also suddenly noticed:

"If it were Mr. Wise, he would definitely use video software!"

"But...... The wise gentleman you are talking about is ......"

Regarding the conversation between the two, Xue Nai asked suspiciously.

"His name is wise and high, and he is also a detective who does not lose to my father!"

Xiaolan explained.

And listening to Xiaolan and Yuanzi's introduction to Gao Yuan, Xue Nai's expression was a little solemn at first, but in the end, his expression suddenly brightened-

"Then, let's go and inform Mr. Wise, and then at the appointed time, Miss Yukino will meet and chat with Mr. Wise by video!"

As Yukino agreed to this suggestion, Sonoko couldn't help but say.

"And what time is it?"

Xiaolan asked Xue Nai for advice.

"How about ten o'clock tonight? Kubo said that he was at a dinner with the TV people today and would come back late! ”

Looking at the electronic clock on the cabinet, Yukino said......
