"Hmm, Lawyer Fei? Let me think... I don't think so yet. I don't remember Lawyer Fei coming down, and..."

The receptionist suddenly stopped talking midway.

She realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and was trying to find a way to cover it up, but she didn't expect that Xiaolan didn't care about it at all.

"Thank you. I'll go upstairs then."

After leaving these words, the unicorn girl walked straight towards the elevator lobby, leaving the receptionist alone in the empty lobby, blinking her eyes.

So...it's not her fault, right?

Hey~

Two minutes later, a crisp elevator bell rang, breaking the silence in the corridor on the twelfth floor of the business building, and Xiaolan walked out of the elevator quickly.

She was still wearing the pair of sneakers she had worn when she went to the amusement park during the day. Thanks to her already very good physical condition from her karate training, she landed almost silently.

Xiaolan quietly came to the main entrance of the office and took a look inside.

Through the transparent glass door, you can see that the front hall of the office is empty and quiet, with no one in it.

There was a wind chime hanging on the door handle on one of the inside sides of the glass door, so Xiaolan gently pushed open the glass door on the other side, tiptoed and quietly slipped in through the gap in the door.

Still driven by that inexplicable emotion.

Although she was a daughter who came to her mother's office, Xiaolan felt like she was a thief.

This made absolutely no sense, but her body's instinct told her she had to do it.

Xiaolan further lightened her footsteps, and when she walked around the front desk and came to the office door, she just heard the faint voice of Kisaki Eri inside.

"That's right, Bell, you can enjoy yourself today..."

Serah-kun is here too? And what else... to your heart's content? To your heart's content what?

I don't know if he didn't say it or his voice was too soft, but Xiaolan didn't hear any follow-up to this sentence, and it could even be said to be meaningless. However, her body trembled subconsciously for some reason, and her slender legs tightly wrapped in jeans involuntarily came together.

"Well--"

Xiaolan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, felt a strange feeling flowing through her body like a point, and the thoughts in her brain began to run uncontrollably in a direction she had never thought of like a wild horse.

No, it's impossible. How could it be... Why did Mom and Sera-kun...

Xiaolan opened her eyes slightly and her pupils contracted. She shook her head desperately in her heart, trying to get rid of all these complicated thoughts from her mind, but her body seemed to be completely out of her control and moved on its own.

The sound from inside the door continued to come out.

At first there were slight and fragmentary sounds, like the sound of some soft fabric falling to the ground.

Then came the hazy humming, sometimes clear, sometimes chaotic, sometimes whispering, sometimes high-pitched.

There is no clear meaning, just full of emotions and desires.

The prologue connects to the main film, and the perfect rhythm makes it almost impossible for Xiaolan outside the door to have any thought of withdrawing.

As the performance of the inner sect's "symphony" became more intense and reached its climax step by step, Xiaolan, whose instinct took over the command of her body, could no longer remain standing.

She leaned against the door frame of the office and sat down slowly until she touched the ground. Her hands unconsciously reached down, and the low moans in her mouth resonated with the rhythm of the symphony inside the door.

Xiaolan suddenly remembered the girl who looked like herself and was sitting at the door of the office. She had seen her in the surveillance video on the office computer.

She had been curious about what this was all about, but now…she understood.

Under the dual stimulation of mind and body, countless scenes that she had never seen before but seemed familiar began to flash through the girl's mind.

"Sera-kun...Mom..."

Xiaolan couldn't stop mumbling one name after another.

At this time, the "symphony" inside the door had entered a whole new chapter, which was more intense and louder than before, completely drowning out the girl's low moaning like she was talking to herself.

The memories that I could never recall began to fade away, including those I wanted to recall and those I didn't want to recall.

And, she had indeed sat here before, doing exactly the same thing as she was doing now.

Sure enough, she was the girl sitting at the door that I saw briefly in the surveillance video.

……

The performance inside the door lasted for three hours, from 8:30 to 11:30.

Until the noise in the office completely stopped, Xiaolan, who had recovered all her memories, sat in a puddle of water outside the door and closed her eyes tiredly. Her body gradually went limp, as if she had finally accomplished something big and was finally relieved.

There is still a little crystal hanging in the corner of the eye.

"I'm sorry... Shinichi..."

Chapter 549 Xiaolan: I haven't recovered my memory

All in all, the attack on the police has come to an end.

Serabell received a call from Inspector Megure at around 4:30 p.m. the next day. She went to the Metropolitan Police Department and handed over detailed investigation materials on the case to Inspector Megure at the back door of the building.

Then we went directly to the downstairs of the business building in the city center.

I took the elevator upstairs with ease and accurately located the twelfth floor.

It was just after 4:30 and the closing time at Hibiki Eri's office was 5:00 in the evening, so when Serabelle arrived at the twelfth floor and pushed open the glass door of the office, Miss Kuriyama was still turning a pen and looking down at the documents in her hands behind the reception desk in the front hall, looking like she was seriously dealing with a difficult task.

Of course, it “seems”.

Because if you pay close attention to her eyes you will find that Miss Kuriyama is not actually working.

She was just daydreaming.

To put it more bluntly, it would probably be...wait until after get off work.

Ding bell~ding bell~

The glass door of the office lobby was pushed open from the outside, and the wind chime hanging on the inner door handle began to shake gently. The crisp and pleasant sound instantly brought Miss Kuriyama's attention back to reality.

She raised her head quickly and in the process straightened out her dull expression caused by being absent-minded for too long. When she looked closely at the young man who came in, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Hmm? Sera-kun? Why are you here so early today?"

As Attorney Hime's only designated exclusive assistant, Ms. Kuriyama is well aware of the private relationship between the two.

After all, Kisaki Eri had no intention of hiding it from her.

Especially since she found the box of express umbrellas, Miss Kuriyama would see paper balls scattered around the office several times when she came in the morning. She could even clearly see traces of liquid splashes and drying on the desk and the floor.

But generally speaking, the number of times is relatively small. Usually, Serabelle and Kisaki Eri will clean up the battlefield before leaving that night, unless things get really bad that day.

But at least she always came after she got off work, but she came so early today... Could it be that those few hours in the evening are completely unable to satisfy Sera-kun's needs?

"Well, there's something I want to show Aunt Eri."

Serabelle gestured at the case materials organized in a folder in her hand.

He dared to guarantee that it was indeed a serious document, but it was completely different in the eyes of Miss Kuriyama.

Miss Kuriyama was instantly filled with respect and nodded seriously.

Then she stood up from behind the reception desk and walked to the office door, knocked twice, pushed the door open, and poked her head inside.

"Teacher Fei, Sera-kun is here to see you. I'll be off work now. See you tomorrow!"

After saying this, without waiting for a reply from Kisaki Eri in the office, she retracted her head and went back to the reception desk without even closing the door. She picked up the bag that had been packed long ago under the table and ran out. She took the elevator that the boy had taken earlier before, just in time to catch the elevator door before it closed.

"..."

Serabel stared blankly in the direction where the assistant left, until the elevator door closed and the numbers on the control panel next to the door began to scroll down, then he silently withdrew his gaze.

Then he went to the half-open office door and looked inside. Behind the desk, Kisaki Eri had her mouth half open, with an expression as if she was completely caught off guard and her brain was at a standstill, staring blankly at the door.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and then Kiyori suddenly realized what was going on. She speechlessly threw out a pair of sanitary balls and let out a long sigh.

"I was wondering why Miss Kuriyama wanted to leave work so suddenly. She left in such a hurry that I didn't even hear what she said clearly... She must have seen you, Bell, coming and thought we were going to stay here... How is that possible!"

"...Aunt, where's Lan?"

Serabelle walked into the office and closed the door behind her. She looked around but didn't see Xiaolan, so she couldn't help but feel curious.

"Let me see. Lan should have just finished school now." Hibiki Eri glanced at the time on the wall clock. "She asked me last night, so I sent her to school this morning and told her homeroom teacher about her amnesia."

"Well……"

Serabelle shrugged and said nothing.

He couldn't quite understand Xiaolan's eagerness to go to school, after all, she had never been to school since she was a child.

"Eh? What's that in your hand, Bell?"

Only then did Kisaki Eri suddenly notice that the boy was holding a folder in his hand.

"This was given to me by Inspector Megure this afternoon..."

Serabelle carried the chair that was usually used for clients across from the desk and came to the side of the married female lawyer, put it down, sat down, placed the folder on the desk, unfastened the buckle and opened it.

"Copies of investigation reports on a series of cases that began last week."

"Is that the one with Fudo Kyousuke?"

When she heard that it was an investigation report on the murderer who had tried to kill her daughter, Kisaki Eri's expression instantly became serious. She pointed at the report and began to read word by word.

"Yes."

Serabelle briefly explained.

"In a nutshell, the two detectives who died, including Officer Sato who was seriously injured, were attacked because they recently began to re-investigate a case from two years ago. The victim in the case was a surgeon named Nino Yasushi."

"Perhaps due to time constraints, or perhaps the murderer's ability to set up the scene was too superb, in any case, the police terminated the investigation as a 'suicide'."

"But in fact, the murderer was actually Fudo Kyosuke himself. As for the motive for the murder, Fudo Kyosuke was once a surgical surgeon, and a very talented one, known as the 'Golden Left Hand' among Japanese surgeons. It was precisely because of this that Jinno Yasu was extremely jealous of Fudo Kyosuke, and later during an operation, he deliberately used a scalpel to cut the latter's tendons, making him unable to perform surgery anymore."

"I see……"

In fact, at this point, Kisaki Eri already understood it very well.

"That is to say, Fudo Kyosuke killed Ninobo for revenge and successfully led the case to suicide. However, he did not expect that the police would reopen the case two years later. In order to avoid being found out, he..."

Serabelle tilted her head: "That's about it."

"Yeah, that's fine."

Kisaki Eri sighed softly as if she was lamenting something.

At this moment, the sound of crisp wind chimes came into the office through the door, mixed with the brisk footsteps of a deer.

A few seconds later, the office door was pushed open from the outside with the sound of the doorknob turning, and a familiar pointed hand poked in from the outside.

Xiaolan took a look inside and immediately showed an expression of surprise.

"Mom, is Sera-kun here too?"

"orchid."

Seeing her daughter coming back from school, Kisaki Eri smiled and stood up from behind the desk.

"How does it feel to be back at school today?"

"Well, it's OK. The teachers and classmates are all very caring towards me."

Xiaolan nodded her lips and thought about it seriously.

"Especially that Suzuki classmate. I heard that he used to be a very good friend of mine. He gives people a very warm feeling! And..."

She went on talking one after another, and as she spoke, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

Like an angel, still warm.

Chapter 550 Akai Mary: Because your brother is "gifted"

The scene changes, and it is almost dinner time when Serabelle returns home.

When you push open the security door from the outside and step into the entrance hall, what hits you is not only the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen, but also a girl with tiger teeth who has finished her homework.

"O! Ni! Chan!"

"…What are you doing? What's wrong?"

Serabelle, who was hit head-on, stretched her neck and pressed it against the door behind her.
