I'm writing a diary in Zongman

But what is the reason?

Do not understand.

After thinking for a moment, Hibiki Eri chose to give up.

Having come a long way as a lawyer, she understands one thing very well: don't ask about things you don't know, because that is not something that everyone should know.

“Where are we going this time?”

"Hmm~ It's said to be an uninhabited archipelago near Tokyo. It seems to belong to Shinomiya's family."

That's not an open place.

Kisaki Eri muttered to herself.

She actually already knew about what the Metropolitan Police Department had done on Yueying Island. After all, the Metropolitan Police Department did not choose to suppress the drug trafficking incident, but instead publicized it extensively.

It was also clearly stated on TV that the Metropolitan Police Department will begin to focus on cracking down on drug dealers.

It was obvious that it was stimulated by the events on Moon Shadow Island.

"By the way, the place you went to before was also an archipelago near Tokyo. Where exactly was it?"

"It's Moon Shadow Island."

"..."

Kisaki Eri's neck suddenly stiffened. If she hadn't asked out of curiosity just now, she really didn't know that the archipelago that Xiaolan had visited before was Yueying Island.

"Was the place you went to before Moon Shadow Island?"

"Eh? Didn't I tell Mom before?"

"You just mentioned going to the islands near Tokyo for some outdoor activities."

"..."

Mao Lilan blinked her eyes, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to have not told her mother in detail about the destination of the outdoor club activities.

Ruined.

She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

"Ah, I ran into Dad and that kid who looked just like Shinichi on Tsukikage Island."

"???"

Kisaki Eri was confused again after hearing this. Why was there something about Kogoro and Yukiko's youngest son involved here?

"When Sonoko and I saw Dad and the child, we realized that Dad had gone to Moon Shadow Island on a commission."

"Then I told Shinomiya-san about the incident. It was only through the follow-up investigation by Shinomiya-san's bodyguard that we learned that something had happened on this island."

"It was only after Sonoko and I returned to the hot spring hotel that we learned from the bodyguard that there were police on the island."

"After that, we were all protected by the police who arrived and stayed in the hot spring hotel. No one left."

“We didn’t know until afterward that drug traffickers were on the island.”

Mao Lilan naturally pushed the matter away.

Anyway, Lianlian’s matter cannot be mentioned, but since the matter was pushed to Shinomiya’s bodyguard mother, there is no way to collect evidence.

Even if Dad saw them on Yueying Island, it doesn't prove that they knew everything about the drug dealers on Yueying Island.

So, there is absolutely no problem in launching it.

The main point is that you don’t know something beforehand but only know it afterwards.

The people who called the police must be the bodyguards around the young ladies.

After hearing her daughter's explanation, Kisaki Eri didn't think that Xiaolan knew about the matter of Yueying Island before. Instead, she thought that the person who called the police was probably the bodyguards around those young ladies.

Then Kisaki Eri understood why the Metropolitan Police Department was so efficient this time.

I knew the Metropolitan Police Department would act so swiftly this time.

Afterwards, he made it clear on TV that he would take strong measures against drug dealers in Tokyo.

I'm afraid it's the forces behind those young ladies that are at work.

If that's the case, it makes sense.

Thinking about it this way, if Xiaolan stays with those young ladies, the danger is actually the lowest.

Because there are too many bodyguards around those young ladies.

Kisaki Eri's anxious heart gradually calmed down.

".Lan, next time you go out for an outdoor activity, remember to tell me the exact location."

Although she felt relieved, Hibiki Eri still felt that she needed to have a general idea of ​​Xiaolan's destination.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know anything about what happened to Xiaolan in the future.

"understood."

The general location certainly does not need to be concealed, but there is no need to say specifically where it is, such as a hot spring hotel, as Mao Li Ran is very clear about this.

"Ling ring ring~"

Suddenly, a pleasant bell rang in the room, instantly attracting Mao Lilan's attention.

Because the ringtone seemed to be from her cell phone.

She looked down at the uncut vegetables on the chopping board and stared at her mother vigilantly.

"Mom, I'm going to answer a phone call. Don't touch anything in the kitchen."

"I don't want to smell something burning in the kitchen."

At this moment, Kisaki Eri felt that her dignity as a mother had been completely crushed by her daughter.

"I know, I know. I won't touch anything in the kitchen."

There's no way, Kisaki Eri also knows her own level.

Her helping would only add to her daughter's workload.

It just so happened that she also had something to talk to Kogoro about.

Chapter 150 The Wedding in Two Days

I went back to the room and picked up the phone, and the caller ID showed that it was an unknown number.

Mao Lilan thought about it and answered the phone.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Xiaolan... do you still remember my voice?"

The voice on the other end of the phone did feel familiar to Mao Lilan. She felt as if she had heard this tone somewhere before.

Suddenly, Mao Lilan remembered someone's name.

Sayuri Matsumoto.

"Is it...Matsumoto-sensei?"

"Oh, I thought you had forgotten me."

"It's really Mr. Matsumoto!"

Mao Lilan didn't expect that it would be her former teacher Matsumoto who contacted her.

She remembered that Mr. Matsumoto was her elementary school music teacher. After she graduated from elementary school and went to junior high school, she often went back to the elementary school to see this teacher.

In other words, after graduating from junior high school, the opportunities to meet this teacher became really rare.

After all, things start to become more complicated starting in high school.

But she didn't expect that at this moment, Mr. Matsumoto would actually take the initiative to contact her.

"Long time no see, Mr. Matsumoto."

"Yeah, long time no see."

"Well~ I also know that your situation is quite complicated."

"As for the situation with that 133-year-old Kudo... you were always watching over him, weren't you?"

"I used to turn on the TV a while ago and could see Kudo being reported on the news, but it's been less common in the last few weeks."

Sayuri Matsumoto also knows the complicated relationship between Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo.

The two of them have been childhood sweethearts, and their situation is somewhat similar to hers.

However, it is obvious that Kudo Shinichi has not completely woken up. Since graduating from junior high school, Mouri Ran has been walking with Kudo, a wooden man. It is no wonder why Mouri Ran has never contacted her.

There's such a big piece of wood next to you, so you'd better keep a close eye on it.

"By the way, how's that Kudo kid doing lately? I haven't seen him on the news in a while. I miss him so much."

"Um...Ms. Matsumoto, calm down first."

"Ok?"

Sayuri Matsumoto was stunned when she heard this. Why did this sentence sound so familiar?

Oh, yes, her father seemed to say this often when facing the families of the deceased.

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Sayuri felt her face twitching a few times.

"No way... That Kudo brat... Could it be..."

"...Yes. There was some accident and Shinichi passed away."

These words were like a thunderbolt that struck Matsumoto Sayuri's world.

"On the night they had agreed to go to Dorobiga Paradise together, he saw someone he thought was a traitor and followed them."

"That was the time when the accident happened."

There was no sadness or joy in Mao Lilan's voice, it was as if she was stating a fact.

But Sayuri Matsumoto thinks this reaction is very abnormal.

She even felt that perhaps, at this moment, Mao Lilan was already abnormal.

"Xiaolan, are you... okay?"

"fine."

Mao Lilan did not have any emotional fluctuations at all.

In fact, she knew that Kudo Shinichi was alive. She even knew that Kudo Shinichi was now living in her house as an elementary school student.

How did this cause her to have such emotional fluctuations?

"It's been almost two weeks since Shinichi died in the accident. What could possibly happen to me?"

"I can't bring someone back to life, can I?"

"I can only think about what's happening now."

"To be frank, I can't just go and stay with him if he dies, right?"

"What about my parents?"

"..."

Sayuri Matsumoto could tell that there was really no need for her to worry about Ran Mouri.

In fact, it is very good to have such an attitude. If she can survive, she can still hope that Mao Lilan can live well and never think too much.

"Actually, your attitude is quite good."

This sentence made Mao Lilan almost laugh out loud.

She knew that Teacher Matsumoto had definitely misunderstood, but she didn't care about Teacher Matsumoto's misunderstanding. There were some things that it was better for Teacher Matsumoto not to know.

"Mr. Matsumoto, why did you contact me suddenly?"

"What else could it be? I'm getting married, and I'm here to invite you to my wedding."
