Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

"Dong Dong~"

A knock sounded on the door, but it wasn't loud.

Kuriyama Midori stood up and walked towards the door, where she found a tall, thin man standing outside.

"Hello."

The man's voice was cold, and his gaze quickly swept around the room.

"I want to consult with Attorney Fei about some things."

After the man withdrew his gaze, he looked at Kuriyama Midori with indifferent eyes.

Customers?

A professional smile appeared on Kuriyama Midori's face.

Lawyers' clients are always diverse, and those who come directly to the office are mostly facing emergencies or matters involving privacy.

"Excuse me, Attorney Fei went out for lunch."

Kuriyama Midori politely replied, "I might not be back for another hour."

She continued, "You can wait here, or you can leave your contact information. I will contact you as soon as Attorney Fei returns."

Kuriyama Midori guessed that the other person might choose to leave, but the man in front of her only thought for a moment before shaking his head:

Can I wait here?

He insisted, "I have some questions I'd like to ask."

Kuriyama Midori was somewhat surprised, but she still guided him to the rest area and prepared coffee for him.

However, before she could return to her seat, the door rang again!

The knocking was loud, and Kuriyama Midori immediately recognized the person from the rhythm of the knocking—Kogoro Mouri!

This guy is here to see the teacher again!

In the past, Midori Kuriyama would have seriously considered whether she should try to bring them together!

After all, Eri Kisaki always wore her wedding ring.

As the person who has been by Eri Kisaki's side the longest, Midori Kuriyama can feel the deep affection Eri has for Kogoro Mouri.

But now, Eri Kisaki no longer wears that wedding ring!

Moreover, her makeup style has also changed significantly, becoming more glamorous.

This might be a small matter for others, but for Eri Kisaki, it represents the result of a major decision.

Moreover, Midori Kuriyama believes that all of this is related to Mr. Gu De.

She strongly supports Eri Kisaki's ability to develop a relationship with Mr. Goo.

Therefore, when Midori Kuri felt uneasy upon hearing of Kogoro Mouri's arrival.

"Click~"

The door opened, and standing outside was indeed Kogoro Mouri.

He was dressed smartly today, a stark contrast to his usual slovenly appearance.

But it was precisely this change that made Midori Kuriyama even more vigilant.

This guy, could he be thinking of getting back together with Attorney Fei?

"Mr. Mori."

Kuriyama Midori stood in the doorway, saying, "The teacher isn't here."

"Huh? Eri isn't here?"

Kogoro Mouri lifted his foot, but Midori Kuriyama didn't seem to be moving aside.

"Let me in first, it's so hot outside today."

Kogoro Mouri said somewhat dejectedly.

Kuriyama Midori then stepped aside to let Kogoro Mori in.

"The teacher went out for lunch," Kuriyama Midori told him. "He went out with Miss Ran and Miss Masami, Mr. Gu De's subordinate."

Shuichi Akai, who was sitting in the rest area, immediately realized that the name "Ms. Masami" was Akemi Miyano.

Sure enough, Akemi Miyano and Gu De arrived here, and they were using the same pseudonyms they had used before.

But what are they doing here?

"Really."

Kogoro Mouri grumbled and swaggered into the rest area. His eyes met briefly with Shuichi Akai's, and both of them unconsciously frowned.

"Ah, sir, are you here to consult with Attorney Fei?"

Kogoro Mouri asked, taking out his business card and handing it to Shuichi Akai, "Hello, I am Kogoro Mouri, a private detective."

"Hello."

Shuichi Akai took the business card and casually put it in his pocket.

"I wonder what kind of business you're looking for with Attorney Fei?"

Kogoro Mouri didn't quiet down; instead, he continued to ask questions.

The person in front of me had a cold expression and was insisting on waiting for Eri in the middle of the day, so it must be related to a private matter.

When he thought of private matters, Kogoro Mouri immediately thought of his specialty: investigating extramarital affairs.

Could it be that this guy's wife is cheating on him?

Is that why things are in this state now?

Kogoro Mouri didn't quiet down; instead, he continued, "If there's anything I, as a detective, can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Sir, if you have any difficulties in speaking, you can tell me."

"To be honest, the lawyer here, Eri Kisaki, is my..."

Kogoro Mouri considered for a moment, then secretly glanced at Midori Kuriyama not far away.

Finally, he lowered his voice and continued, "The lawyer here, Eri Kisaki, is my wife."

"So please let me know if there's anything I can help with."

"We will always protect our clients' privacy very well!"

"Even if problems arise within the family, we can still resolve them very well!"

lady"?

Shuichi Akai glanced up at Kogoro Mouri.

Then he turned his head in another direction.

This action further convinced Kogoro Mouri that his judgment was correct!

Thinking about the pitifully few commissions he's received lately, he's even more determined to intensify his sales efforts!

"If your wife needs some investigation, I can help."

Kogoro Mouri said it bluntly.

wife?

So you thought I was having an affair?

This time, Shuichi Akai finally raised his head.

His eyes were filled with anger.

Thinking of Akemi Miyano, and those photos of Akemi Miyano and Gu De, a chill instantly spread from his eyes.

He simply stared intently into Kogoro Mouri's eyes and forced out a few words through clenched teeth.

"I'm not interested!"

Kogoro Mouri shrank back in surprise at Shuichi Akai's reaction.

But deep down, I suddenly felt something was wrong!

This person has such a strong killing intent!

Is this person here to consult a lawyer about legal issues?

It sounds more like he's consulting a lawyer about how to commit murder and escape legal punishment!

No!

This guy is suspicious!

Kogoro Mouri pretended to be scared and sat down to the side.

"Okay, okay, I was just asking."

"If you have any questions, you can ask Attorney Fei later!"

He kept rambling on and on, but he was also secretly watching Shuichi Akai's every move.

If this guy is going to kill someone, then I'd better stick close to him!

Perhaps, it can prevent a murder!

Thinking of this, he pictured himself being praised by Inspector Megure!

"Ahahahaha!"

Not far away.

Midori Kuriyama also noticed this scene.

The way she looked at Shuichi Akai changed!

Although Kogoro Mouri can be unreliable at times, this tall, thin guy looks even less like a good person!
