"Wedding anniversary? Tomorrow? Hearing the unexpected lines from his mother's mouth, Mao Lilan's eyes widened, "Then you don't hurry up to give it to him?" ”

In Fei Yingli's hand, the slender and delicate gift box lay there quietly, as long as the size was simply compared, it was really easy to determine the contents.

Perhaps, that is the one that Fei Yingli compared to Sakushi when several people met in the afternoon.

"When you went shopping with Mr. Saku, you were really looking for a gift? Then don't you hurry up and give it to Dad......" Mao Lilan recalled the conversation that would happen when she met by chance, and she was anxious for Concubine Yingli, "Dad's misunderstanding is very serious." ”

Maori Kogoro has been very peaceful these days, and he hasn't had any confrontation with her because of control, and today he suddenly complained in public that he didn't drink alcohol, there must be a reason.

"I am, I feel that he has been quite pitiful recently, and Xiaolan you have worked so hard, so I want to forgive him a little and send something to ease the situation." Fei Yingli's fingertips secretly exerted force, and she held the thing tightly in her hand, "It's just a soft heart for a while." ”

"If you don't send it, I'll open it for you!" Mao Lilan unceremoniously pinched the other side of the gift box, gesturing to take things away, "There are some things that you will regret if you don't open your mouth!" ”

Recently, she has also experienced a lot of things, and she has a different feeling than before.

One of the most important is not to be honest when it should be, and if you miss the opportunity, even if it is just one night, it will be too difficult to find an opportunity.

As an important member of the family, his parents have not contributed much to the family, considering the current scene, it can be said that they have pulled each other back and worked together to make the marriage like this.

However, she always believes that what they mean to each other is like a lighthouse in the ocean in the middle of the night, an existence that can light the course of the future, and will never give up on each other easily.

At this moment, this soft and thin tie is the key to the end!

"Xiaolan, don't!" Fei Yingli, who felt that she couldn't outdo her daughter in terms of strength, begged for mercy, "I'm going to give it out tomorrow, this gift box is very fragile, and it will be broken if you pull it again." ”

"Send it today, it's not too early!" Pointing to the clock above his head, Mao Lilan said in a heartfelt voice, "In less than an hour, it will be 'tomorrow', and the gift given by the stuck time is so sincere!" ”

"Anyway, you still, let me send it myself......" Fei Yingli turned her face away, and her voice became weaker and weaker because of embarrassment.

Well, the reason why she left the table under the pretext of not knowing what to do with this gift is good.

Recently, Maori Kogoro, she is actually quite satisfied, although the quarrel will not disappear completely, and it is easy to develop into choking soon when they meet, but she has been happy in her heart for the other party's concession.

Seeing his face frustrated, but obediently acting according to their arrangement, whether the root cause was to save the family, or the iron fist of the regulators really hurt, everything made this relationship that seemed to have already reached a dead end turn again.

She wanted to take the initiative to bow her head once, to get closer to each other, and to encourage Maori Kogoro and tell him that the current direction was the right one.

However, every time she wanted to lift her legs and open her mouth, the subtle distance brought by the ten-year gap would make her cringe unconsciously.

Now, is it a little too late to talk about redemption and change?

"Are you really going to deliver it?" Mao Lilan looked at the suspicious crimson on her mother's face with distrust, "I'll go with you, well, it's convenient to give you a witness!" ”

She didn't quite believe in the ex-couple who didn't say a good word about each other for ten years, and even if Concubine Yingli really sent it over, the subsequent unfolding could not be predicted.

In order to avoid her mother not admitting the account, or the two of them talking about awkward places and having an argument, it is still necessary for her to go with her.

“…… Okay, okay, you let go first. Fei Yingli softened her tone, "If you don't let go, how can I take it?" ”

"Hmph, the wine table over there shouldn't be over yet, don't try to run away!"

"It's as if I ran away in the past. You should ask your dad what he was like at times like this. ”

"These things, when our family of three sits down, there is a chance to talk slowly, so let's go first!"

"Okay, Xiaolan, don't push me-"

————

"Lawyer Concubine strictly ordered you not to drink, you really don't drink at all...... You're such a family-oriented man. ”

Mori Kogoro, who was stretching his waist and walking from the bathroom towards the izakaya, was confronted with such a compliment, and turned his head in confusion to look for the source of the sound.

This kind of compliment, he really hasn't seen in a long time.

It's not that no one will compliment him after him, it's just that he has everything to praise him, and he didn't expect to praise him for his family.

"The man of the Gu family will not be divorced." Seeing Ritsuko Usui with a smile on her face, Maori Kogoro complained bluntly.

"Yes, strictly speaking, Lawyer Concubine is just your ex-wife now." Ritsuko Usui saw Maori Kogoro take over the conversation, and covered her mouth and chuckled.

Maori Kogoro and Fei Yingli are about the same age, and she thinks she has some means to deal with men of this age.

At his age, coupled with his current reputation and popularity in the industry, the topics that these men like will become very narrow.

Elevate the other person in a way that secretly belittles the other spouse, or give him a certain amount of space to show his or her career ability, and they can easily gush and easily develop a sense of closeness and superiority from the conversation.

It's called, "She understands me better."

As a lawyer, even in the face of the client, you must always keep your guard against it, don't underestimate me, Fei Yingli!

"Not strictly in the sense, she is also my ex-wife." didn't understand the subtext of her words for the time being, and Maori Kogoro's answer was still sharp, "If you don't get divorced, the two of us have been separated for ten years." Whoever thinks about it, it's a fact that our marriage broke down. ”

"That's right, you have been separated for many years while you have children...... Why is this because of a disagreement over career planning or something else? Ritsuko Usui tentatively led the topic over, "Lawyer is a busy profession, and I am also single because of work. ”

This is a prelude to explicitly giving the message that you are single, trying to bring the topic into a more intimate discussion.

Based on the character of Maori Kogoro that she inquired about, it is unknown how capable the other party is to work, and it is definitely right to be greedy for money and lustful.

To his own tea art, oh no, mature and considerate charm, Usui Ice Ritsuko is full of confidence.

"Ah, what's this......" Mori Kogoro looked away and touched his neck embarrassedly, "probably when I had an accident back then, I didn't take the initiative to tell her a lot of words." ”

A marriage in which both parties are still in the same relationship will come to a breakdown, and unilateral efforts alone are not enough.

Thinking about it now, he accused Concubine Yingli of speaking harshly, regardless of his own face, and he was no better than the other party.

"It's better than too many people to admit their own shortcomings, Mr. Maori." praised without pretending, Ritsuko Ui Bing quickly changed the direction of attack, "Even if the marriage survives, and even if the relationship between the husband and wife is excellent, it is really too rare for a husband who is willing to really quit drinking for his wife." ”

It's not that she didn't hear Maolilan's statement during the banquet, but she chose to pretend to have amnesia.

When the reason for quitting drinking shifts from subjective feelings to following medical advice, it sounds a bit greedy for life and fear of death, and according to her understanding, this kind of unmanly thinking must not be brought up.

"If you say that, it's rare, it's rare......" Touching his nose, Mori Kogoro was embarrassed to answer more, "It's the children who have been urging me, and if I come by myself, it's hard to control." ”

said that he successfully quit drinking or something, but in fact, he was not too successful, and he would occasionally drink a little wine.

In other words, judging from the way Tang Ze occasionally turned a blind eye and only used it to settle accounts when needed, when it came to alcohol, his regulators maintained an attitude of controlling the frequency of his intake, allowing him to have fun, and stopping him from becoming addicted.

Thinking about Karasawa who made the plan, Mori Kogoro occasionally felt a slight sense of terror.

Obviously, he took away the original power from him, and in another way, he stingily leaked a little from his fingers, and borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, which did not give him any substantial benefits at all.

No matter how he thinks about this situation, he shouldn't thank the other party, but he has to admit that every time he uses some methods to secretly drink wine, he can't help but be grateful to Tang Ze for releasing water.

It's terrifying, that kid's ability to grasp other people's emotions.

If Tang Ze turned into a man and tried to use women's natural affection for him to earn something for himself, what would happen to him......

Not knowing that Mori Kogoro's thoughts had gone astray in an unknown direction, Ritsuko Usui saw that he finally took the initiative to answer his own question, and felt that it was going well.

"Alcohol is not a flood beast, they are all adults, can you still not know what to do? It's just that at our age, some of our troubles inevitably need to be expressed through alcohol, right? ”

"That's right." This was a rather empty emotion, and Mori Kogoro had no choice but to nod.

"So, do you want to do a second show later?" Showing the small ticket clasped in the palm of his hand, Lu Bing finally finished the long map of Yan Kingdom, revealing his fundamental purpose, "I don't feel like I'm enjoying the drink, I secretly bought the wine with the boss just now, do you want to come with the Maori detective?" ”

After taking the bait, she knew that there was no middle-aged man who she couldn't deal with!

————

"She looks so confident."

At the other end of the corridor, three heads poked out half of each other, silently observing the two people who were talking in the corridor.

Seeing that Ritsuko Umibing seemed to be holding a victory medal, holding up the bill in her hand, Gray Yuan Wai whispered: "She seems to firmly believe that Aunt Fei Yingli is forcing Mr. Maori to quit drinking, and as long as she takes out the wine that can be drunk secretly, Mr. Maori will take the bait casually." ”

With the fact that Ritsuko Ubiki had just found a place to make up her makeup, she was full of momentum, and she looked like she was ready to go to the battlefield, and she had already guessed this woman's thoughts.

If you can't beat it in the workplace, then change the track and go to the love field.

Trying to use feminine charm to overpower powerful colleagues in their careers is sad to think about.

"When he's not drinking, the Māori detective's IQ is relatively normal." Tang Ze said calmly, "He has caught so many cheating, can he still not understand the pain points of this kind of thing?" He just wanted to steal, and he couldn't come so directly. ”

"It's hard to say, don't everyone like to say that drowning will cause water? It is also very common for self-professed professionalism to lead to negligence. Gray Plains retorted.

“…… I say you," Conan, whose head was crushed to the bottom, struggled to raise his head and protested, "why do we have to run out here and follow you?" ”

Tang Ze was sneaky, looking like he had something serious to say, pulling himself and Gray Yuan out to follow others, it couldn't be just to listen to the love and hatred of these middle-aged people, right?

Well, it would be a good choice to listen carefully and tell Xiaolan, so he listened quite attentively.

"In order to protect Uncle Maori, and by the way, protect that green tea, oh no, that Ubibing lawyer." Tang Ze said bluntly without hesitation.

"Huh? Is Karuizawa so dangerous? Without understanding the vague words of "green tea" in Tang Ze's mouth, Conan could only ask questions about other content.

"I don't know if Karuizawa is in danger, with so many detectives and lawyers present, there must be someone in danger, I believe it." Gray Plains, who has fully accepted the Detective Accident Aura setting, nodded solemnly.

"Hey, don't talk about the detective lawyer like some disaster star......"

"I'm not saying that the detective lawyer is like a disaster star, I'm just saying that the detective is like a disaster star. Have you ever considered the possibility that you're following behind a Maori detective, and that you're a combination of two detectives, that's why you've had so many murders, Kudo? ”

"You're talking as if we're bringing disaster to ......"

"Isn't it?"

Listening to the conversation that took place below that pointed to the essence, Tang Ze pressed his two heads back behind the corner one by one, retracted his head, and continued the topic they had just discussed.

"It can only be said that if you try to seduce a detective if your life is not hard enough, you are prone to accidents."

"You're more than she said, hey!"

"In order not to kill people, we can only keep an eye on people more urgently. When Uncle Maori walked back, follow him immediately, did you hear clearly? ”

"Are you really here?!"

————

"You said the Maori detective went back early?" Fei Yingli, who was dragged back to the table by Mao Lilan, was very stunned.

"That's right, you let the family play with everyone, and another sip of wine doesn't let the family drink, he feels bored to go back early, it's normal, right?" "I can't see that you're also a queen's authority in marriage, lawyer concubine." ”

"Don't make fun of people," Yuji Mikasa patted his colleague with red cheeks to stop him from continuing to joke about Concubine Eiri's marriage, "Anyway, if you want to talk to him alone, go back to the hotel and find it." I just asked, he's on the same floor as Ubiki. ”

"So coincidentally?" Hearing this news, Fei Yingli instinctively frowned.

"But, it's impossible." Mao Lilan reached into his handbag and took out two cards, "Dad's room card is also with me." How will he get in when he goes back? ”

Didn't get the room card, but went back to the hotel first?

Fei Yingli pursed her lips and began to feel bad.

"Which room does he live in, and who are you listening to?" Fei Yingli turned his head and looked seriously at Yuji Mikasa, who was still conscious, "Did he just say that at the table?" ”

"Huh? Ah, it doesn't seem like ......" Scratching his head blankly, Yuji Mikasa mobilized his brain, which was disturbed by alcohol for a moment, and replied slowly, "It was Lawyer Usui who said it." She also said that when she checked in, she found that the person who lived at the door was quite familiar, and if you think about it, it was Mr. Maori and his daughter, which was very coincidental. ”

————

After tidying up the chest-length straps of the dress, Ritsuko Usui leaned her face closer to the makeup mirror and looked at it carefully.

She had a pretty face, and she knew it.

Any condition, as long as it can be used, will become a lawyer's weapon, and she is also well aware of this.

Only those who are fully prepared are qualified to reap the fruits of victory, she is absolutely sure.

Now she is the warrior who has already taken her weapons and is waiting for her.

I'm sorry Lawyer Fei, I know very well that no matter how hard I try, I may not be able to win you, and if I want to climb higher than you, I have only one choice.

- That is to let you fall down first.

A loving couple who trust each other, if there is a sudden crack in their relationship, even the iron-blooded queen of law will be frustrated and depressed, and she has no intention of pursuing a career, right?

Putting the things in her hand back into her purse one by one, Ritsuko Usui walked out of the hotel bathroom, walked through the lobby, walked into the elevator with her head held high, and walked towards her victory.

Not to mention an adult of this age, even if she is a minor who is ignorant of the world, the moment she gives out her room card, she should understand how ambiguous the next situation is.

Her victory is at hand, all she needs to do is raise the horn of the charge!

The emotional Ritsuko Ui Bing used her room card to unlock the door, pushed the door and walked into her room.

On this trip, they booked a standard double bed room, the room area is not very large, through the hallway of the entrance, is the bed and desk, and a little further is the sliding door connecting to the terrace outside.

The main light in the room was not turned on, but the atmosphere lights at the head of the bed were all on, and the dim and ambiguous light made people roughly distinguish the situation in the room.

The atmosphere of the whole room has an indescribable flavor of restriction, which is just right for two people to have an intimate drink.

The Maori detective is quite emotional.

At a glance, through the floor-to-ceiling sliding door glass, and seeing Mori Kogoro sitting on the terrace with his back to the door, Ritsuko Usui smiled, threw her coat directly on the bed, pulled the neckline down a little more, and walked straight towards the terrace.

"Mr. Maori, I ......"

Taking out the invincible, sweet and slightly hoarse clip sound, Ritsuko Usui gently opened the patio door.

—and then she met three pairs of piercing eyes, and the next words stuck in her throat.

"Lawyer Ubi." Mori Kogoro, who was holding the card in his hand and meditating, turned his head in hindsight, "You're back." ”

On the small coffee table on the terrace were scattered playing cards, and the drinks prepared by Ritsuko Usui rested on them.

I don't know if it was intentional, but an ultraviolet mosquito lamp was placed in the corner of the terrace, facing the direction of her entrance, illuminating her face green.

With the thickness of the makeup on her face, she is now almost like a pearl of the night.

"Good evening, Aunt Ubibing." Tang Ze looked at the green tea that emitted an authentic green light, and asked intimately, "Is your throat uncomfortable?" ”

He hummed in his heart some tunes that were easy to reveal his age, such as what was different from any sense that you are green light, so the only thing, and so on, and admired the scene in front of him in his heart.

Now it's really love, it's a ray of light.
