Edogawa Conan came back from outside. He opened the door and the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.
"Why do I have to go to dinner with Eri today?" Mouri Kogoro's face was full of displeasure. He wanted to cheat directly, but he still tied his tie after looking at his daughter's clenched fists.
Otherwise, his daughter would not leave food for him when she went out. In order to avoid starving himself, he had to go out to eat.
That’s not true!
This is what the famous detective thought in his mind.
Edogawa Conan was standing at the door watching the show. He laughed out loud with gloating when he saw his uncle shrunk. Unexpectedly, he was stared at by Xiaolan in the next second, and went to change clothes in despair.
Today, Mao Lilan has brought together countless parents to change their minds and start a big battle. From the beginning when everyone around her made suggestions, to now she is preparing a perfect and independent plan. Her growth is not unpleasant.
It's just that the uncle can't hold himself up the wall.
With hope in mind, the three of them headed straight to the restaurant.
Fei Yingli arrived earlier than them, which was not unexpected by Xiaolan and Conan, but the people around Fei Yingli did not surprise Conan.
"Kuroki?...Sir! Why are you here?"
Kuroki Ren stood up after Fei Yingli and smiled softly, "There is a dinner party. I happened to see lawyer Fei when I entered the door, so I said hello."
"Detective Maori, Miss Lan, good evening."
Kuroki Jin nodded, and looked across Mouri Kogoro calmly, which was considered a courtesy. Then he turned back to Concubine Yingri and said: "In this case, I will not disturb Concubine Lawyer."
"I'll leave my brother's affairs to my lawyer. I will go to your law firm on Monday to sign a formal entrustment agreement."
"OK."
Kuroki Jin shook hands with Fei Yingli, nodded to the three people who approached, and then walked upstairs.
"Mom, what Mr. Kuroki said..."
"Yes." Fei Yingli nodded to confirm her daughter's guess, "It's Fugu Chumu's case. He wants to entrust me to defend him."
Conan stared at Kuroki Jin's back until he disappeared, and then asked strangely: "But why did he entrust Auntie Yingli to it?"
"What?" Fei Yingli looked dangerous, "Am I not qualified to handle this case?"
Conan sensed the danger and said with a smile: "How could it be possible? I mean Mr. Kuroki is not... that, um..."
He whispered: "I'm hungry."
Just when Fei Yingli was satisfied and ready to invite everyone to sit down, she heard sneers from not far away, "Has the undefeated queen actually reduced herself to threatening children?"
"Huh?" The voice was very familiar. Fei Yingli turned around and saw her "old friend" standing not far away, looking down at her.
"Who did I think she was? It turns out to be the Madonna of the legal world, Prosecutor Kujo."
Fei Yingli glanced around unexpectedly and said in confusion: "I didn't expect Prosecutor Kujo to come here for dinner. Who do you have an appointment with?"
In the legal profession, Fei Yingli had heard some rumors, saying that the fair and capable prosecutor Reiko Kujo had a secret boyfriend who had been dating for a long time. Some people also said that the two were already married and even had children.
But cowed by Kujo Reiko's strong character, no one dared to ask about this matter face to face.
"Then it's none of the lawyer's business," Kujo Reiko was wearing a gray windbreaker, which was out of tune with the atmosphere here, but she didn't care at all. "I finally met my ex-husband, so I won't take up the concubine's lawyer's time."
"It's a separation! He and I are not divorced!"
"Yes, yes." Kujo Reiko was very perfunctory and walked up the stairs.
"I remember that there is only one room on the second floor here, right?" Fei Yingli said thoughtfully, "Husband, I remember that you know the owner of this restaurant?"
Mouri Kogoro frowned slightly, "I know the former boss, and the current boss is his son. I'm not very familiar with him."
"But the private room on the second floor is always closed. The new boss said it was a place he reserved for himself. I don't know why it is open today."
"Brother Ren was walking upstairs just now!" Conan reminded loudly.
"Could it be that the person Mr. Kuroki is dating is Prosecutor Kujo?"
They guessed correctly. Kuroki Jin was wearing a black suit with the organization's characteristics. He sat on his seat and looked out the window. Through the reflection of the glass, he saw Kujo Reiko coming upstairs.
The indoor temperature was pleasant. When she went upstairs, Kujo Reiko took off her coat and held it in her hand, revealing the professional clothes she was wearing underneath.
I think this workaholic works overtime on weekends and then comes here directly for his appointment.
Kuroki Jin stood up, adjusted his suit, watched Reiko Kujo walking over with a smile, and then stretched out his right hand.
"Prosecutor Kujo, first time meeting you. I am Jin Kuroki."
Kujo Reiko looked at Kuroki Jin up and down. His hair was neatly combed, his facial features were fair and his skin was fair. His suit was neat and his waist was straight. He looked well-mannered, like a kid from a rich family.
But the information she went to investigate before dinner tonight told him that this was not a rich second generation. Not only was he not a rich second generation, his life experience was also very miserable.
Kujo Reiko gently raised the corners of her lips and held Kuroki Jin's right hand.
"I'm Kujo," she didn't let go, but pressed slightly, "Mr. Kuroki put so much effort into finding me for dinner, I guess there must be something going on."
"How about we sit down and talk?"
"That's fine," Kujo smiled and let go of his hand. He stared at Kuroki with sharp eyes and sat opposite him.
Kuroki Jin tapped the bell on the table to signal the waiter to start serving food.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Kuroki Jin put his hands together and leaned on the table with his elbows, and said sincerely: "First of all, I'm sorry to invite you here for this dinner in this way. I know that Prosecutor Kujo has There are a lot of questions, how about you ask what you are interested in before getting into the topic?"
"Then you're welcome," Kujo Reiko said in a good tone, "How did Mr. Kuroki find me here?"
"I have a friend who happens to be cooperating with the court and knows some prosecutors, so I asked him to help me connect."
The matchmaker was Shoichiro Komori. He was a doctor by profession and worked in a hospital that was not open to the public but was well-known in the industry and specialized in research. The hospital cooperates with public departments such as the Metropolitan Police Department and the courts.
People like this should usually be very busy, but for some reason Komori made Kuroki Jin feel like he was always available. He was always there when he was looking for him in the middle of the night.
"But what are you looking for me for?" Reiko Kujo frowned slightly, "The final announcement hasn't come out yet, so the case you want may not be handled by me."
"No," Kuroki Jin smiled, his smile bright and his tone confident, "This case will eventually fall into the hands of Prosecutor Kujo."
"oh?"
"Because I asked lawyer Fei to defend Fugu Chumu."
Kujo Reiko's eyes changed instantly.
I noticed that my typing was getting slower and slower... Then I took a look and saw that this month's update only had 30,000 words...
I……
It's the end of the month and I wish you all a happy new year.
