Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

"Why don't we go out and have fun by ourselves, and let Professor Agasa keep these kids company?"

Maybe the other party is spying on her.

"I know what you're thinking, so just stop thinking about it."

"All right……"

Bai Shixiu sighed.

He rested his head on Yukiko's shoulder, and the sliver of wicked thought in his mind began to disappear.

outside.

In a small alley not far from the performance hall.

A woman wearing a trench coat and with long hair was walking briskly with her head down.

A dozen meters behind her, Shuichi Akai followed at a leisurely pace.

The two of them walked along like that, one following the other.

Unbeknownst to them, the place became more and more remote, the alleys became deeper and deeper, and gradually it seemed that there was no one around anymore.

Shuichi Akai watched as the woman darted around a corner and quickly followed after her.

I was stunned as soon as I turned the corner.

Because just around the corner was a crossroads, and the woman he was following had disappeared.

He looked ahead, to the left, to the right, and then observed the ground before starting to think.

"Boss! We..."

"Shh, let's not talk about these things here."

Suddenly, two voices and three footsteps sounded from the left.

Hideki Akai placed one hand slightly inside his sleeve, his gaze fixed intently on his left.

0. Requesting flowers.......

Then I saw...

Three men slowly emerged from behind the wall on the left. One of them was wearing a police uniform, while the other two wore sunglasses and overcoats, making them look like plainclothes officers.

The two collided directly and both froze on the spot.

飒?

A gentle breeze blew by, and the scene became a little tense and eerie.

The eldest of the three men subtly shifted his position, moving behind the second-in-command, and slowly reached for the pistol at his waist.

Shuichi Akai remained calm and looked at the man in the police uniform among the three, asking, "Officer, did you encounter a blonde woman who just left not long ago?"

The policeman was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening and a look of relief appeared in his eyes. He thought their plan had been exposed, but it turned out to be just a passerby asking for directions.

He looked thoughtful and nodded, saying, "We did encounter such a woman. She walked quite fast, running straight past us from our direction."

"Thank you." Akai Shuichi thanked him and quickened his pace, walking past the three of them and heading in the direction they had come from.

The second brother watched Akai Shuichi leave and breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought we were going to be exposed. It was really a close call."

The leader lowered his voice and said, "This guy has obviously been standing here for a while. It's a good thing you didn't say anything, otherwise he would have heard us and we would have had to kill him to cover it up. But if someone dies here, it will attract the police, and all our plans for today will be for nothing. Understand? Idiot!"

The second brother scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Big brother, I know. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, and I won't say it again."

"It's good that you know..."

The eldest brother nodded, then turned to look in the direction where Shuichi Akai had left, falling into silence.

The third man in the police uniform asked, "Boss, is there something wrong with that guy?"

"He's no ordinary person!"

"Huh?" x2

"Anyway, you wouldn't understand. In the future, you should stay away from people dressed like that. Who knows what they do?"

"Whoa!!" x2

Chapter 0232: Yukiko meets Concubine Eri

Animal show performance scene.

Unable to bear Shiraishi Osamu's harassment any longer, Yukiko made an excuse to go to the restroom.

"hateful……"

"You stinking man...you deadbeat man..."

"Bastard! Idiot!"

"You only think about these things all day long, one day I'll kill you!"

Talking to herself, Yukiko went to the sink in the restroom to wash her hands. She glanced at the woman next to her who was touching up her makeup, but then she couldn't help but pause in surprise and exclaimed:

"Eri!!!"

"Ok?"

Eri, who was touching up her makeup, was startled. She turned to look at the woman next to her and exclaimed in surprise:

"Yukiko!!!"

"Eri! What are you doing here?"

Yukiko clasped her hands together with joy. She never expected to meet him here. Fate is truly amazing.

"Four-Five-Three" Eri smiled:

"I heard there was an animal show here today, so I wanted to come and see it."

When did you arrive? I didn't see you there.

"I came in about five minutes after it started. I was in the first row, so you probably didn't see me. And you, where are you?"

"……Well."

Yukiko's expression froze slightly, and her hand unconsciously touched her hair. For a moment, she didn't know how to speak.

Because her position was at the very back, which was arguably the worst spot.

Compared to the first row, it's a world of difference.

Moreover, as good friends and also rivals for the title of school beauty during their school days, she didn't want to lose in this regard, so she decisively changed the subject:

"By the way, it's good to relax a bit. After all, running a law firm on your own is quite tiring."

"It's nothing..."

"You can't say that. I remember you were in a magazine and on TV. I saw it too. You're still as amazing as ever."

Eri Kisaki smiled slightly, clearly understanding the veiled sarcasm, but being the type not to back down, she retorted subtly in return:

"Let's not talk about me. What about you? Why haven't you gone back abroad yet? Hasn't your husband come to comfort you?"

Yukiko's expression froze for a second as she thought of Osamu Shiraishi, but she immediately recovered and smiled:

"That man did come, but I didn't choose to forgive him. He's still reflecting on his actions. I'll forgive him once I've calmed down."

"Oh, I see! I thought your husband hadn't come to comfort you..."

"How is this possible! By the way, you look pretty good, could it be that you were...tsk tsk..."

As Yukiko spoke, she twitched her eyebrows in a teasing manner, really bringing up the most sensitive topics, making her look like a complete female hooligan.

Eri Kisaki remained unfazed, her expression unchanged, and retorted sharply:

"Yukiko, you too. Your skin looks so smooth, your husband really trusts you to be out in public!"

“You’re not bad either! Your husband has trusted you to be away for ten years! Compared to you, I’m nowhere near as good.”

then……

The two fell silent.

Their eyes darted away, each recalling some unpleasant memories and images.

Although they both insulted each other, it seemed that they were the ones who were hurt, because the things they were talking about had happened to them, and it was indeed a little embarrassing to talk about.

for a long time……

Yukiko broke the silence and spoke first:

"Eri, why don't you come to my house for dinner next time? I'm quite lonely by myself anyway, and I'll cook for you."

"Uh...it's fine!"

"When will you come?"

"what?"

"How about tomorrow night? I think that's a good time, so you can try my cooking."

"I……"

"It's settled then!"

Yukiko didn't give her a chance to argue and ran straight out of the bathroom.

Eri opened her mouth, a hint of frustration on her face, but then she felt relieved.

Because Yukiko is now just like her, living alone without a husband, it seems like they're pretty much the same, and there's no question of one being better than the other.

The thought of this made her feel better, and she immediately regained her haughty demeanor.

and……

She's already divorced and has a new man; she's much better off than Yukiko who's currently single.

Although the new man is a bit unreliable, she can still feel that he takes good care of her.

After all, he was doing well, and so was I, which made her experience a deep sense of happiness.

Once back in the dark performance hall, Yukiko finally breathed a sigh of relief and resumed her haughty demeanor.

Shiraishi Xiu was so bored he was almost dozing off. He glanced at the time on his watch and said sadly:
