The person who came was tall and well-maintained. Her chestnut hair was tied up in a bun. She wore round glasses to block her sharp eyes. She was dressed in professional attire and looked like an elite.
And she is indeed an elite.
The undefeated queen of the legal profession, Eri, is also the mother of Maori Ran and the wife of Maori Kogoro.
Kuroki Ren was sitting at the counter. The soft boss chair made him feel comfortable. In front of him was the group of children, who were looking back at the door because of the incoming customers.
Because Fei Yingli opened the door, the room briefly received the sunlight from outside. It just illuminated the door. As Fei Yingli stood still and the door closed behind her, the sunlight gradually disappeared.
And at this moment, there are people sitting and standing in the room, one is bright and the other is dark, as if the world line is divided here.
Fei Yingli came with a purpose. Yesterday, her long-estranged husband knocked on her door in the middle of the night. He was very drunk and kept mumbling something.
Fei Yingli listened closer and heard the name of the candy house, Kuroki Jin.
Later, it was her daughter Xiaolan who told her the whole incident, and she realized that there were so many things involved.
She couldn't bear to watch her husband go through the same decadence again, so she put off today's work and came here.
Kuroki Jin accepted Fei Yingri's arrival very calmly. After he saw that Mouri Kogoro did not come back with them but stayed in Gunma County for one night, he expected to meet Fei Yingri.
Fei Yingli put away her sharpness in the court and said to Asai Narumi very kindly: "Please give me a glass of lemonade."
Asai Narumi turned to look at his boss.
Kuroki Jin chuckled, stood up and said, "I'll do it, is it lemonade? Do you need to add sugar?"
"No need." Fei Yingli said, "I quite like sour things."
Fake, she prefers sweet ones.
Kuroki Ren's expression remained unchanged, and he still smiled and said: "Okay."
Different from the unfamiliarity when the store first opened, now Kuroki is able to master all the drinks on the menu in the store.
What’s more, even with long hands, you can make a simple drink like lemonade at home.
The weather was gradually getting warmer, so Kuroki Ren still made a drink at room temperature in order to take care of the woman. When he handed it to the other party, he found that the other party was staring at him with burning eyes.
"What's wrong?" Heimuren smiled as if he didn't know anything.
"It's just different from what I know." Fei Yingli took the lemonade and pushed up her glasses without drinking it. "I thought Boss Kuroki would have some mood swings."
"Then you can use the pepper spray in your right hand to subdue me?"
Kuroki Jin returned to the boss's chair, sat and turned half a circle, and saw his children looking worriedly at him and Conan, who was ready to save his mother-in-law at any time.
"Don't worry, I'm a very principled person."
"What principle?"
Kuroki Ren's originally overflowing smile paused, then slightly restrained: "Try not to do anything during the day."
Haihara Ai who asked the question seemed to smile, while the rest of the people who heard the answer twitched in their hearts.
Fei Yingli then turned her attention to the children. She didn't look carefully when she entered, not to mention that everyone had their backs to her and couldn't see their faces. But now she was stunned when she saw it.
"It's you."
Fei Yingli has never met anyone else in the Young Detective Team except Conan, but because of her daughter Xiaolan, she still knows Conan, so she naturally thinks that the person next to Conan is his school friend.
It seems that the fact that the boss of Kuroki has a good relationship with his children is not a lie.
Fei Yingli knew everything that happened on the barren hills of Qunma County from Xiaolan. Even when she heard the whole story, she felt that a boy like Kuroki Jin was full of danger, but the children who also heard the whole story were surprised the next day. And chose to come and see him.
Also comforting him.
"I just came in and heard you talking about Mr. Tajiki Sawaki. What happened to him?"
Fei Yingli found a chair near the counter and sat down, finding a good entry point to ask.
Kuroki Jin, who was fighting for a handful of candies that Genta grabbed, heard this and replied thoughtfully: "He didn't come to pick up the candies he ordered from me...Does Lawyer Fei know what's going on?"
Fei Yingli thought about it carefully. She and Sawaki Koichi have known each other for a long time, and the other party also knew Mouri Kogoro, and they were friends for many years.
But it's limited to friendships.
"There has been no contact recently. Does Boss Kuroki have anything to do with him?"
"It's nothing." Kuroki Ren snatched back most of the candies and put them on the sales table. "It's impossible for a person to be missing for three months. I just don't understand why he didn't come to get the candies."
As a well-known sommelier, it was impossible for Kohei Sawaki to disappear without hearing from him for three months. However, Jin Kuroki had called and sent emails but there was no reply, which made him very confused.
"Perhaps there is something delayed." Fei Yingli said casually.
"Maybe." Kuroki Ren looked at her deeply.
Fei Yingli came and left. Before leaving, she handed Kuroki Ren a business card and said that she could call this number if necessary.
Kuroki Jin knew what she meant. Fushigaya Kaoki's case would be tried soon. With the number of lives he was carrying, no matter what tragic story there was, the most likely outcome was the death penalty.
Fei Yingli is the undefeated queen in the legal world. Before this, she had not lost any of the cases she handled, and she is still a legend in the legal world.
If she takes action, Fugu Chumu's side can delay more time, and some things can be better prepared.
Kuroki didn't reject the other party's kindness, but he also didn't agree on the spot. He just said he would think about it. Watching Fei Yingli leave, Conan hesitated and chased after her.
"Conan..."
"It's okay." Kuroki Jin stopped Ayumi who was about to follow, "He might just want to ask where Mr. Mori and Miss Lan are now."
"That's why I'm worried..." Ayumi said sadly.
Kuroki Jin:?
It seemed like something happened silently that he didn't know about.
Kuroki Jin didn't look into it carefully. He looked past Ayumi, past Mitsuhiko and Genta, and looked at Haibara Ai clearly and gently.
The latter mouthed him.
Kuroki Jin smiled.
The children did not stay here for long, because Conan went out for a long time and did not come back. The three little guys with Conan as their backbone were a little anxious and glanced at the door from time to time. In the end, Kuroki Jin thanked them for coming to comfort him. He was in a much better mood and allowed the children to leave happily.
Hui Yuan Ai slowly walked behind the children. When she reached the middle of the house, the three children had already ran out of the door.
When footsteps sounded behind her, Haihara Ai was not surprised. Her wrist was grabbed by someone, and a familiar aura surrounded her again.
Kuromu Ren half-crouched behind Haihara Ai, lowered his head and whispered in her ear:
"Wait for me tonight."
