"You're so strong." When the two of them were arguing to an end, each pouring tons and tons of drinks, and preparing for the second stage, Sakushi Fashi, who had been watching for a long time, spoke, "I remember that you collect reports related to Mr. Maori every day and cut them out for collection?" ”

"I—How can I ......!" Fei Yingli, who was drinking ice water, choked and coughed, "I'm just ......"

"Oh, so it's just like Daddy?" Mao Lilan clapped his hands suddenly, "Dad is also secretly watching the report that Mom is in charge of defending the case." Bought several copies of the newspapers, right? ”

"Hey, you can't say this......" wiped the moisture from the cup, and Mori Kogoro drank it in embarrassment.

“…… Oh, yes. Someone in Fei Yingli's group of colleagues said something teasingly, and without waiting for the two of them to refute, he quickly changed the topic and said, "It's rare to meet in Karuizawa, relax, don't worry about those trivial things, let's have a drink tonight!" ”

The two people looking at each other across the table looked at each other, and each drank the water in his hand, and his expression became cramped.

"Isn't it nice to have a relationship?" Gray Yuan, who was sitting at the next table, always glanced at them, "It's obviously a very loving couple, but to the point that they have to divorce to keep each other calm, is it because their personalities can't be run-in?" ”

"How can it be, in fact, the maintenance of marriage may not have a strong relationship with personality." Tang Ze, who was communicating with his teammates, didn't raise his head, "Do you think my parents are the type that is very compatible with each other?" ”

Gray Yuan was stunned, and began to seriously consider the issue of Tang Ze's and his wife's physiognomy according to Tang Ze's statement.

"Indeed, uncles and aunts, like people who simply cannot live in the same world. They've always been very affectionate. Gray Yuan Wai carefully recalled the memories about them, and nodded slowly, "It's incredible. ”

Tang Zeleiona is a very typical scholar-type researcher, focusing on academics, rarely spending energy on things outside of work, gentle and wooden, is not good at expressing herself, and will feel that she has a cold personality and is not easy to get along with at the first contact.

What about Kazukawa Karazawa? If you don't know in advance that he is a brilliant scientist, someone would believe him to be the top seller of insurance. Perhaps because of his upbringing, he speaks with habitual exaggeration and exaggeration, and sometimes the degree of observation is too exaggerated, and he will use too much force to the point of flattery, which is easy to give people an unreliable impression of frivolity.

Just by imagining them in the same project team, you can imagine how miserable the communication process will be, and the accompanying disputes and disagreements can keep any person in charge awake at night.

But they fell in love at first sight.

What is it called, the power of love? A hormonal miracle? Or is it a collision of aesthetics?

"Marriage and love are two different concepts." Tang Ze, who could see at a glance what Gray Yuan was making up in his head, shook his head and interrupted her romantic conjecture about Tang Ze and his wife, "Look at the two guys over there, they are actually still in love with each other to this day, but even if they don't officially divorce, they have been separated for more than ten years." ”

Because Mao Lilan didn't want to see his parents really break down, and because he still had feelings for each other, even if there were many contradictions, they could fight each other after a few words of meeting, and before Tang Ze officially proposed that they should change their relationship and re-examine their family, the two still maintained a marriage relationship in name only.

Without Tang Ze's persuasion, would their relationship have been repaired automatically? Not very realistic.

Ten years of separation have magnified the problem between them for too long, and now it is not a problem that can be solved by anyone lowering their heads.

"That's why you think divorce is a good thing for them?" Gray Yuan, who rarely heard Tang Ze take the initiative to explain the purpose of his actions, lifted his cheeks curiously, "Because you think their marriage relationship has long been unhealthy?" ”

"Worse than that, I feel that Lan's long-term exposure to this mid-life crisis marriage model is one of the reasons why her concept of love is very vacillating and conservative." Tang Ze pursed his lips and began to comment sharply, "Contradictions will only intensify, and in the face of problems, they will only blame, and they will hurt each other with words, but they just refuse to separate completely, and they have to keep the marriage ......."

"Oh, are you trying to say that just as victims of domestic violence often have a hard time learning expressions other than violence, children who grow up in such families can't learn the right way to love and tolerate?" Gray Yuan Wai tapped his palm, feeling that he understood a little bit of Tang Ze's twisted mental activity.

This guy's seemingly casual choice is often accompanied by a lot of deliberation and consideration in her heart, she has always known that Tang Ze is a very thoughtful type, and she often finds it difficult to understand the starting point of Tang Ze's work.

For example, he is now surrounded by friends who know little about his real life and why he has been spending energy managing relationships and trying to guide them to change.

However, as she observed the way Tang Ze got along with other people, she slowly became aware of many of Tang Ze's logics, and she could slowly feel where the spiritual power in his body that seemed to never dry up came from......

In short, although he would definitely only deny this, she deeply believed that Tang Ze was a gentle guy.

"Pretty much that's it. I think Lan is very eager for a long-term and stable intimate relationship, but at the same time, she doesn't know how to maintain this relationship. I didn't know that my sister was sending a good person card to herself in her heart, Tang Ze said his judgment.

Growing up in an environment with a very traditional concept of marriage and love, and a pair of parents who have been separated for a long time, Mao Lilan's brain circuit of relying on Kudo Shinichi mentally for everything is not difficult to understand.

To put it bluntly, her love brain is not the kind of vigorous love brain, but a simpler and less worldly love brain, that is, find the right person, and then leave everything to him, and live a lifetime.

But coincidentally, she met a detective who was extremely difficult to settle down, and the relationship was destined to be ups and downs, destined to be unstable and unanswered.

Thinking of this, Tang Ze turned his head and looked at the thoughtful Gray Plains.

The two sisters who were born in the Miyano family with a healthy family relationship, although their childhood was turbulent, although their parents died early and fell into the control of the organization, they can be called miserable, but the influence left by their parents has always been benign.

Sober self-awareness brings the rationality of maintaining illusions in the concept of marriage and love while recognizing reality, which is also an important factor in their character.

What an interesting comparison.

"Well, it sounds a little sad, everyone wants to fix this family, but no one will." Gray Yuan nodded and concluded.

"People are middle-aged, and their love and family are still like high school students, so don't learn from such inferior adults." Tang Ze commented ruthlessly.

Over there, the former couple, who had been rated as high school students, agreed to their colleague's proposal with an awkward expression, and Fei Yingli finally calmed down and introduced her colleagues to the others.

"I'm glad I chose to be a lawyer." Ritsuko Ubiki smiled and leaned over to Concubine Yingli's side, "If I become a prosecutor, wouldn't I have to stand opposite the queen?" It's scary to think about. ”

"Don't exaggerate, let such a high-profile case overturn the original verdict in the second instance and send it to the Supreme Court, how can I say like a poor rookie." Kenzo Shiozawa, who proposed to drink together, couldn't laugh or cry.

"Gee, isn't that a natural thing to win a case?" Ritsuko Usui waved his hand, looking like what he was talking about was not worth mentioning.

"Well, I'm really sorry......" Yuji Mikasa, who was a little pockmarked on his face, touched his neck, "After all, it was my negligence in the first instance that made such a natural case lose......"

"That's not what I mean, I mean, I'm just taking advantage of the high attention of the case, and even if I win, I can't catch up with one of Her Majesty's toes." Ritsuko Ubichi changed her words smoothly to avoid the embarrassment of the scene.

"The invincible female lawyer, with the invincible detective, the two are really enviable." Shiozawa Kenzo, who is over forty years old and has never been married, can't help but sigh.

"What is there to envy......" Kogoro Maori, who had been separated for ten years and officially divorced, cleared his throat and felt that he was being ironic.

A profession that sounds like a perfect match, I have known each other since I was in school, and I have been married all the way......

No matter how you listen to it, it is a model of a model couple, but it has been run by the two of them to this point, which is somewhat ironic.

"I understand, Mr. Maori." Before Concubine Yingli could speak, Ritsuko Ui Bing preemptively spoke, "There were rumors of your relationship breaking down in the law firm before, but wouldn't it be good to look at it today?" I know, I know, the means of division and transfer of property are very wise. You and your concubine are also celebrities, in the name of child support, you can avoid a lot of taxes, right? ”

Mao Lilan, who was thinking about how to play the round, couldn't help but be stunned.

The divorce between Concubine Yingli and Maori Kogoro is very low-key, although they are famous, they are not real stars after all, and they are not so eye-catching that they are all noticeable.

If this is placed in industries such as celebrities, it is really a good means to deal with property, and the lawyers of Fei Yingli Law Firm may not have handled similar commissions.

“…… Well, that's what it is. Fei Ying responded lightly to her speculation, and turned her gaze, refusing to look directly at Maori Kogoro's face.

Well, the divorce was a means that the daughter and Tang Ze came up with to stimulate Kogoro, and under the strict defense of several people, he was not allowed to pass the money, and it was not too much to say that this was an asset preservation method.

"Eiri ......" Maori Kogoro fully understood her subtext, put down the water glass in a daze, and his face slowly turned red.

"Well, it's true that high school students are in love." Gray Yuan nodded in agreement, giving a final conclusion.

————

"What, said it was a drink, but it turned out that I wasn't allowed to drink at all. So what's the point of coming to an izakaya? Maori Kogoro held his own ice oolong and chattered unwillingly, "Sitting in an izakaya and watching people drink happily is more painful than not being able to drink!" ”

"It's all for your health, have you forgotten the new doctor's instructions?" Maolilan clenched his fists and solemnly declared, "Your liver is not suitable for alcohol." ”

"After all, there is nothing good about wine, it is spicy and bitter, and it doesn't taste at all." Conan, who was sitting next to her, immediately spoke out in support, "You're right, Brother Tang Ze?" ”

He had the impression that as the first person to propose a one-size-fits-all abstinence from smoking, alcohol and gambling, Tang Ze was a guy who was very resistant to addictive things.

Especially alcohol, considering Tang Ze's usual performance, he wondered if Tang Ze was allergic to alcohol.

Tang Ze doesn't take a sip of alcoholic beverages, even if it's butterbeer or soda, and he double-checks whether it's alcohol before eating chocolate, and he doesn't even eat rum-flavored ice cream......

If he hadn't understood Tang Ze's life background, he would have made up some strange PTSD for Tang Ze's brain with the other party's strict attitude.

For example, a father or mother who drank too much caused a misfortune in childhood, and an important person suffered a tragedy because of drinking......

In short, alcohol is completely の in Karasaw.

Conan asked confidently, waiting for the sharp-toothed Tang Ze to also give his own attack, and after waiting for a while, he found that the table fell silent.

“…… Tang Ze? Conan turned his head in surprise and looked at Tang Ze's expression.

Tang Ze, Tang Ze covered his mouth with one hand, didn't say a word, and didn't answer his words.

How can I say this......

"Eh, what's wrong?" Seeing that he had been holding his mouth and not speaking, Mao Lilan sniffed the air and turned his head to look.

I saw that the middle-aged man dressed as a social animal at the other table behind them had obviously drunk in place, all of them were red-faced, red-eared, with a tie tied to their heads, and they were making fists with their tongues, and the strong pungent smell of wine had already reached this table.

"You, should you ......" Mao Lilan turned his head and observed Tang Ze's state worriedly.

Tang Ze shrunk his neck and did not respond.

How to say it, on other issues, he has a position to give reasons in a righteous manner, except for alcoholism......

Anyway, after "retiring from illness", he fell into decadence for a while, and he drank so much that he wanted to choke on his own vomit, and he was not qualified to blame Maori Kogoro.

Moreover, his velvet room was a bar, and even now, he blew on that pair of bottles with Leon in his dreams every day......

"Isn't it to the point where you feel sick when you smell it?" After Mao Lilan finished the second half of his sentence, he couldn't help but worry, "Then when you go to the hospital to see a doctor, will you feel unwell?" ”

"No, no, the taste of alcohol in the hospital is still different from wine......" Tang Ze, who was not very confident, hurriedly clarified, "Well, I'm just ......"

"Look at Dad, Tang Ze has reached this level, even if you take care of his mood, you can't drink it!" Maolilan turned his head and expressed his opinion more clearly.

“…… I know, I know, I didn't drink it. Mori Kogoro, who had to sit at the child's table, hummed unhappily.

These little ghosts, now one by two, seem to be true, he wants to see what they will be like when they are 20 years old......

"What's wrong, Utoi?" Yuji Mikasa, who was listening to Maori Kogoro and the children arguing, smiled and drank the whiskey in his hand, and when he turned his head, he saw Ritsuko Ukusai taking a small sip of wine, and his interest was not high, and he wondered, "Are you in a bad mood today?" ”

As a lawyer, although I certainly don't have to deal with many clients and leaders like many company employees, I still have some entertainment in order to conduct an investigation and understand the situation of the prosecution.

And Ubiki Ritsuko, not to mention the massive, anyway, the amount of alcohol is higher than that of many people present.

Her dedication to work is evident to all, and she is certainly not to be outdone in this regard.

Everyone knows her situation, and it is impossible for anyone to be prejudiced because of her drinking status, why did she suddenly pretend to be elegant.

That's definitely for people outside the law firm.

Thinking so, Yuji Mikasa curiously followed her gaze and looked at Mori Kogoro and the people sitting around him.

He definitely won't take into account the factor of Maori Kogoro, and when everyone met in the afternoon, Ritsuko Usui also spared no effort to make jokes between him and Concubine Yingli, and behaved quite naturally.

No matter how she thinks about it, she can't think anything about Maori Kogoro, who has a close relationship with Concubine Yingli.

That's just ......

Yuji Mikasa's gaze naturally fell on Karasawa's baby face.

Probably because of the shape of his face, this boy looked a little younger than Maolilan next to him.

When he kept smiling, he didn't feel it, he only felt that he was a very handsome and cute young man, and when he covered his mouth and was silent without a smile like now, the pair of upturned cat eyes made his appearance a little aggressive.

When he doesn't smile, he looks so handsome, and when he laughs, he is very young and cute...... It's just the type of female special attack of the year.。

Yuji Mikasa, who doesn't have much relationship with women, but claims to know women very well, raised his hand and patted Ritsuko Usui on the shoulder comfortingly.

"Give up, you and his inappropriate ......," Yuji Mikasa persuaded earnestly.

Even if the appearance is not obvious, Ritsuko Ui Bing is over 30 years old - under this age, it is difficult for a lawyer to mix in the state of a successful career - this boy looks fifteen or sixteen years old, no matter how you think about it, it is too exaggerated.

Ritsuko Usuki's teeth slammed into the glass with a crisp sound, and her murderous gaze slanted over, and Yuji Mikasa hurriedly retracted his hand.

Damn, Concubine Yingli is the queen of law, is she where she is missing?

Detective, you deserve it, but I don't deserve it?!

What do you say about physical reasons to quit drinking, I think it's because I'm afraid that my husband will have unnecessary misunderstandings after drinking too much, so I strictly guard against it here.

looks light and light, not worried about her charm, hateful, Concubine Yingli, really a cunning woman.

Putting down the wine glass heavily, the ice law was not good, so he could only complain: "That public case is really annoying, such an obvious case, what is there to mess ......up with it"

"Lawyer Ubi, don't talk about work here." Saku Hoshi frowned and said something to stop her from saying the next.

"It's okay, girl, it's normal to be in a bad mood sometimes." Yuji Mikasa hurriedly made up for her.

There are always a few days a month when a woman's temper is out of control, even a calm and rational lawyer is not exempt from vulgarity, he understands, he understands......

Very angry, but speechless Ritsuko Ubi: "......"
