"You came all the way to Karuizawa, could it be that you chose this?"

As if to resolve the embarrassment, Yuji Mikasa had nothing to say, and took the initiative to ask about the gift box that Fei Yingli had in hand.

Five colleagues travel together, and one of them intent on murdering the other on the grounds that the other is working on a case......

The group of lawyers was too awkward in every sense of the word, so now the three of them sat in the dining room, eating breakfast in a delicate atmosphere.

"Pretty much." Fei Yingli touched the ribbon on the gift box in her hand, and said with some nostalgia, "When we were newlywed and honeymooned, we came to Nagano Prefecture ......."

Due to professional reasons, after getting married, Maori Kogoro wore a very serious dark suit, whether it was a police officer or a detective, it was not suitable for too frivolous dressing - at least Maori Kogoro was not that style.

But she knows that in fact, Maori Kogoro's personal tendency is to be more light and more casual, and his actual personality is a little frizzy, and his overly calm style does not match him.

This is also the reason why she heard that the destination of the trip was Karuizawa, and rarely agreed to the invitation of her colleagues.

"Sounds like that kid Sajiu is hopeless." Shiozawa Kenzo first teased, mentioning Sakushi Fashi, and his expression couldn't help but stiffen.

Although the two of them were not present for what happened last night, the police movement was so loud that they couldn't think about it.

"Hey, since the defendant is a resident of Saku's hometown, why didn't he tell us directly?" Yuji Mikasa scratched his head and said helplessly.

"If you say it straight, you'll be merciful?" Fei Yingli raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.

Yuji Mikasa was embarrassed to hear this sentence - this commission was originally taken over by him, but he failed to get the desired litigation result for the client in the first instance, so it was taken over by Ritsuko Usui in the second instance and the judgment was changed on appeal.

"I don't need mercy from my subordinates, I can't win with all my might." Yuji Mikasa said self-deprecatingly, "But if he made it clear in advance, maybe lawyer Usui Bing would not have taken over the second trial of the case." ”

"Really? Not necessarily. ”

When the three of them heard the voice behind them, they were all stunned and turned their heads to look.

Packing up, there was nothing unusual, as if there was no difference from yesterday, Sakushi stepped out of the elevator, walked towards their table, and sat down calmly.

No, it cannot be said that there is no difference.

Compared to yesterday, today's Saku Hoshi looks to be in a better state, the last knot between his eyebrows has dissipated, and his mental outlook is excellent.

"Saku......" Shiozawa Kenzo looked at him and called out his colleague's name uncertainly.

For people who were targeted by the monster thieves of the heart and stayed in the police station for a long time, isn't Saku's state too good?

So good that he was a little worried about whether the other party completely ignored it and entered the ranks of those who were ready to go crazy.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Saku Fashi hooked the corners of his mouth and poured himself a cup of hot tea, "Actually, it's not a bad thing to be cleaned up by the monster thief of the heart. He's right, they all have the courage to kill the killer, why can't I try it head-on? ”

His self-confidence is not only brought by the information left to him by the thief of the heart, but also by the message full of witticisms.

As an opponent in court, Ritsuko Usui is a feared and disgusting lawyer, and many of the methods she will use outside of court are despised and feared by Saku.

But even so, Ritsuko's record still has many shortcomings.

- At the very least, she really can't win against Fei Yingli, right?

Even if he lacked the confidence to defeat his opponent head-on, he could go to Fei Yingli for help, as long as the reason was justified, with Fei Yingli's character, he would definitely not refuse his request.

"You want to take that case?" Yuji Mikasa's eyes widened, a little surprised, "How difficult is this case......"

Ritsuko's character is questionable, but her ability to work is tested, and she has always been highly praised in terms of success rate.

The opponent is Ubi, how tricky this case is, what he just said is by no means humble.

"I know it's very difficult, but sure enough, if you don't defeat your opponent once, you'll still be unwilling." Sakushi smiled.

The progress of the case has not yet reached the point of no return, and the two sides still have room for mediation, and he has now grasped the omissions left by Huang Bing in the process of handling the case......

"Beat a stick and give a sweet date. I don't know how those guys changed my mind, but it's amazing. Sakushi sighed and summed up his thrilling experience last night.

"If only you could think about it." Concubine Yingli was stunned for a moment, and when she saw his calm and resolute expression, she couldn't help but smile, "Don't be too arrogant, kid." ”

To be able to become a member of the Fei Ying Li Office, Sakushi also has good ability.

The previous choice should have been that he was not confident enough, and he was annoyed by Ritsuko Usui's attack on the defendant, so he made an irrational choice.

Thankfully, there was still time to turn back.

“…… Look at your mom like that. Maori Kogoro on the other side of the restaurant finally couldn't sit still when he saw this, "You still say that she is not interesting to that kid who doesn't look serious?" ”

Even if she is a mother and getting older, Fei Yingli is still a beautiful woman full of mature charm, which is an objective fact, not to mention her charm in the eyes of Maori Kogoro.

At this moment, seeing her smiling at the good-looking Sakufa Shiyan, Maori Kogoro's sour breath was about to overflow.

"Dad, she just wanted to encourage Mr. Saku." Mao Lilan interrupted his complaint disapprovingly, "Since you have been separated until today, you have not whistled and drooled at beautiful girls?" ”

"I—How can I drool......" choked on tea, and Maori Kogoro retorted with a stiff neck.

"The way your eyes can't wait to stick to someone's body is scary than drooling." Snorting disdainfully, Mao Lilan condemned, "I can't walk when I see beautiful women, you men are really." ”

The two boys who were sitting on the other side of the table and yawning face to face were inexplicably shot and turned their heads innocently.

"Aren't you very clear if your mom will like other people? You used to rely on your good relationship and act recklessly, if your mother really changed her mind, you would go to her door tomorrow and hug the door and cry. "The Maolilan offensive has not stopped.

"You're talking to me like some kind of bad guy. I'm also not really sorry for Yingli, right? Maori Kogoro protested, saying and talking, he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, "Today's meaning is different......

Today is the wedding anniversary of the two of them......

Although it seems too late to discuss this issue now that he is divorced, Mori Kogoro can't help but be frustrated when he sees that Concubine Eiri really hardens his heart and does not say anything.

Perhaps, he should indeed reflect on the rift in the relationship between the two of them caused by his quarrel with Eiri over the past few years.

Some damage, once formed, leaves no room to turn around.

Just as he was in a slight daze, slowly entering his jade rhythm, the sound of a string of high heels approached.

"Mom, good morning!" Mao Lilan's eyes lit up as she looked at Fei Yingli, who was getting closer and closer.

Fei Yingli, who had obviously been carefully groomed, had a little curvy hair hanging down her cheeks, and when she stood still next to Maori Kogoro, she couldn't help but raise her hand and straighten her sideburns.

"Do you have time to talk?" Looking at Maori Kogoro, who turned his head and looked stunned, Fei Ying cleared her throat.

Her hands behind her back gripped the beautifully wrapped tie box.

————

"As a result, they still had a nice wedding anniversary, right?"

"If you whisper, he will be angry when he hears you."

"Didn't you just say something like, 'Young-ri, I'm going to apologize to you for my past words and deeds,' and 'Come back, I'm about to miss you'......

"Shh

Maolilan quickly covered Conan's mouth, preventing him from finishing the rest of the sentence.

Mori Kogoro, who had changed into a printed tie made of cotton and linen, walked back to the dining room, looked at the children sitting at the table, their eyes waiting, and coughed embarrassedly.

After intimacy with Concubine Yingli in front of the young man for a while, he was still quite embarrassed.

"How's it going, what did mom say?" Maolilan, who looked expectant, tilted her head.

As far as she knew, her parents didn't actually have a serious essential conflict, and their separation was more like a misunderstanding and an impasse that developed after it was not well resolved.

Now, Maori Kogoro is rarely honest, bowing his head and admitting his mistake to Concubine Yingli.

Last night, he was anxiously looking for Maori Kogoro, but found that when he went to the ambiguous invitation of Ritsuko Usui, he brought a few children with him to refuse, and Concubine Yingli was also in a good mood.

This is a rare opportunity for them to talk about past misunderstandings and knots, so that the relationship can be further developed.

She said......" Mori Kogoro pressed his neck awkwardly, and reluctantly replied in the face of his daughter's longing eyes, "Well, we are not going to remarry for the time being." ”

"Oh......" Mao Lilan nodded, not discouraged, but his clenched fists couldn't help but relax a little.

Well, she knew that it wasn't that simple to break the ice......

"But, uh, she can consider coming back for a few days once in a while, um......" Mori Kogoro was embarrassed to say the latter words.

Let me see your sincerity, and let me see again how the man I chose in the first place will pursue me again...... So, I'm giving you a chance to pursue me one more time.

This kind of almost flirtatious words, whispering between two people is a kind of fun, and it is too embarrassing to say it to children.

"Great!" Mao Lilan clasped his hands together and let out a cheer, "I knew my mother would change her mind!" How about you go back and learn how to cook steak and then arrange a candlelit dinner? ”

"W-What ......?"

"It's very simple, I can teach you too! When the time comes, I'll say there's an activity at school, and I'll leave the two of you alone......"

"Hey, hey, how can it be as fast as you say......"

"In that case, shouldn't I make a bed for my mother? Also, she definitely won't want to live in the master bedroom when she comes back. ”

"Little Orchid......"

"It's better to let Conan go downstairs and make do with Tang Ze for two days first. Well, it's just a good time to give Dad some opportunities to participate in solving the case, and let Mom see how good you are now! ”

"What are you talking about? Hey, don't go over! Ying Li hasn't told me yet, hey! ”

"What's the matter with me......" Conan, who was suddenly implicated to go downstairs to sleep in the attic, swallowed the waffle in his mouth with an innocent face.

"You're a borrowed guy, and you're not qualified to interfere with other people's arrangements." Tang Ze patted him on the shoulder and suppressed his protest.

Conan squinted at Tang Ze.

Didn't you also borrow it downstairs? It's even just a café downstairs, a barely made room......

"I've heard that a cautious lawyer like Fei Yingli will carry a voice recorder when talking to anyone." Tang Ze suddenly spoke, casually mentioning it as if gossiping.

"yes, what do you think she usually records?" In the wonderful family ethics drama, Gray Yuan, who was eating bread in small bites, was satisfied with the milk.

“…… What do you mean? Conan's eyes widened slightly, as he understood their hints.

"You should also be careful, oh Kudo, woe comes from the mouth." Gray Yuan raised his eyebrows, "I think Ms. Concubine will definitely teach Miss Lan this trick." ”

"Perhaps, the last time you two were at the lookout restaurant......" Tang Ze lengthened his voice.

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Conan's forehead was already showing sweat stains.

Oops, even if he knew that Tang Ze's words were most likely casual deception, and considering that Xiaolan's clothes didn't even have a pocket at that time, how could he think that the recorder and the like didn't exist, he was still a little sweaty.

"That, I, I'll go to the bathroom......" Conan, who couldn't sit still, quickly wiped the crumbs from the corners of his mouth, picked up his phone, and ran on tiptoe in the other direction.

No, he has to send Xiaolan a few messages and knock on the side.

Tang Ze already has enough handles in his hand, if Xiaolan also gets a little in his hand, and the two of them exchange news with each other, he still won't live......

Seeing the anxious detective disappear around the corner, Gray Yuan Wai put away the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Alright, the last unrelated person is gone." Wiping the crumbs off his fingertips with a napkin, Ash pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Quickly clicked on the screen a few times, and she showed the picture that appeared to Tang Ze.

Since having Noah, an excellent assistant artificial intelligence, has been upgraded again, her ability to control her two laboratories has also reached a new level.

In the past, she was only proficient in manipulating experimental equipment and summarizing experimental records, but now, she has the ability to remotely control the position and monitor the progress of the experiment in real time.

Now on the picture, it is the big white egg that was left alone in the villa, the shiny surface is particularly dazzling from the perspective of the camera, and the faint white halo makes the whole egg seem to be marked with a soft light.

"Since last night, the activity has been increasing." Fingertips clicked on the detection instrument in the corner of the screen, and Gray Yuan raised his face, "What did you do?" ”

"Well...... " Tang Ze's eyes drifted to the upper right.

On the surface, it seems that he is just looking at it with a weak heart, but in fact, Tang Ze's gaze is very focused.

He's looking at the progress bar in the top right corner of his interface.

Last night, the information given by Yamamura Cao filled in the last blank, he had completed all the information collection about Zhufu Jingguang, and the conditions for the theoretical resurrection had all been met.

So his mission progress bar disappeared as a matter of course, and was replaced by a dead line countdown that he hadn't seen since he came to this world.

Anyone who has played P5 knows that there is a very classic design in the UI of P5, that is, the dead line countdown in the upper right corner.

As a time marker to distinguish the main chapter, it will clearly give the current time hint, telling the player how much time is left until the end date of the Temple Raiders period.

After the crossing, there was always a blank place, and Tang Ze had slowly gotten used to it and regarded it as a decorative figure.

As a result, when the repechage match began, it could have new effects, which Tang Ze didn't expect.

[There are [10] days left before the revival of Zhufu Jingguang]

"Well, as you can imagine, our plan almost succeeded." Without explaining the process in detail to Ash Hara, Tang Ze just replied blandly, "Now is the time to witness the miracle, Shiho." ”

"Miracle you're big!" Without being notified in time, the person in charge of the test, who was frightened to death by the news in the middle of the night, did not hesitate to slam Tang Ze's head, "You don't say this kind of thing earlier!" ”

"Oh, this, it's a matter of course, it's a success, how can I notify you in advance before it succeeds?"

"Is the problem here?" "The problem now is that its cognitive radiation is constantly increasing, and if there are organized people in the vicinity of the house watching it, this matter will be exposed sooner or later." ”

It should be said that this egg has a wavelength similar to that of an alloy with X, which is why Gray Yuan Wai decided to keep a close watch and examine it carefully.

At this juncture, if the organization notices what they are doing, it is a big deal.

"What do you think?" Tang Ze, who understood his sister's unfinished words, pressed his brows.

Under normal circumstances, it is of course impossible for the Rice Flower 2-chome to be monitored by members of the organization.

The problem is that due to the advent of a temporary antidote, Belmode is closely monitoring 2-chome, trying to find an opportunity to take Ai with Ash and secretly execute her.

"We're going to solve Belmode's problem before the secret is exposed." Gray Yuan pursed his lips, and his fingertips squeezed into the fabric of the skirt.

Belmode, the mellow-sounding codename, was one of the most feared and undaring members of the codename, and just a little imagination of what kind of eyes this woman would look at her, Gray Yuan Wai could barely restrain her instinctive trembling.

But now, now that she has put forward a plan, and the impending miracle makes everything imminent, she can't afford to back down.

"Let's start the plan, Karasawa. Me, I'm ready. ”
