“So it was a good decision for Mr. Matsumoto to invite Mr. Itake to the wedding.”

“With Mr. Itake’s protection, Mr. Matsumoto will naturally……”

As Ran Maori was talking, she suddenly thought of a possibility.

Perhaps Sayuri Matsumoto has realized that the law alone cannot imprison Takasugi Toshihiko.

That’s why she found Karuta Itake and sought safety at such a cost… not only for her own safety, but also for her father’s safety.

And the most reliable and permanent way is naturally…

In an instant, Ran Maori understood Sayuri Matsumoto’s true purpose.

Restraining the waves in her heart, Ran Maori spoke to Eri Kisaki, whose face was a little solemn:

“Mom, why are there so many Band-Aids on your hands?”

“And forehead……”

Mao Lilan asked in surprise.

In fact, Mao Lilan found out about this after arriving at the office.

“Nothing, just careless.”

“As you know, the edges of A4 paper are very sharp.……”

Eri Kisaki made up an excuse.

But Ran Mouri could guess with her toes that this was Eri Kisaki’s excuse.

After all, what kind of personality is Eri Kisaki? How could she be so careless that she had three or four band-aids on both hands?

This must be because Eri Kisaki was cursed by the gods and had bad luck. Half a month had passed since Eri Kisaki spoke rudely to Itake Karuta last time

, and she still hadn’t come to apologize.

“”Mom, you didn’t… offend Mr. Itake, did you?”

Mao Lilan said seriously:”It is said that if you offend Mr. Itake, your fortune will become worse and worse.”

Hearing this, Kisaki Eri couldn’t help but tremble in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm,”It’s just superstition, don’t scare yourself, how could that happen.”

In fact, ever since being warned by Itake Karuta,

Kisaki Eri’s luck has not been very good, and it can be said that she has been in constant trouble.

Forgetting to bring keys, cutting hands with A4 paper, hitting toes while walking, and almost falling because the heels of high heels broke…

These unlucky things that rarely happened before, can be said to be happening every day in the past half month.

Even Kisaki Eri, who has never believed in these things, couldn’t help but suspect that she was really cursed these days.

In addition to what Mao Lilan just said about the two cases that Itake Karuta accurately predicted. Kisaki Eri was even more scared.

“I’m glad I didn’t offend Mr. Itake.”

Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the clock in the office,”Oh, it’s already this time, I should go home and cook.”

“”Mom, see you next time~”

After saying that, Mao Lilan left the law firm.

No one knows a mother better than her daughter.

Mao Lilan knew that Kisaki Eri was a person who would not tolerate hardship but only softness.

Forced persuasion would not work, and she could only try indirectly.

After leaving the law firm, Xiaolan took out her mobile phone and found Itake Karuta’s number in the address book.

At this moment, Mao Lilan had completely guessed the purpose of Sayuri Matsumoto asking Itake Karuta: to get rid of Takasugi Toshihiko!

Although she could understand Sayuri Matsumoto’s feelings, killing people was not a good thing in Mao Lilan’s heart after all.

“……”

Mao Lilan hesitated and was hesitant to press the button to make the call.

She was not sure that she could convince Itake Karuta.

Although they had not known each other for a long time, Mao Lilan already felt that Itake Karuta was a man of his words.

Since he had accepted the”remuneration” provided by Matsumoto Sayuri, it meant that he agreed to the deal. It would be impossible for him to cancel it.

Unless there was some way to make Matsumoto Sayuri, the client, voluntarily give up…

Ding-ling-ling——!

While she was thinking, her cell phone rang.

It was a call from Sonoko.

“Xiaolan Xiaolan, have you heard that that bastard Takasugi Toshihiko was only sentenced to one year?”

“That scumbag, even if he is not shot, should be sentenced to life imprisonment. I really don’t know what those judges and lawyers are doing!”

Yuanzi’s voice sounded extremely annoyed.

“Sonoko, calm down. What Takasugi did was indeed excessive, but life imprisonment and execution are a bit too exaggerated.”

Mori Ran could understand Sonoko’s feelings. After all, she was also furious when she heard the verdict.

But then she guessed that Itake Karuta might be planning to silence her, and her anger was suppressed.

“How is this an exaggeration? If this happened to you, Xiaolan, I would definitely hire a killer to kill that unfaithful man!”

Sonoko became more and more excited as she spoke,”Xiaolan, if someone wanted to poison Uncle Mori and Lawyer Kissing at your wedding, would you think it was a no-brainer?!”

Poisoning Kogoro Mori and Eri Kissing…

Even if it was just a hypothesis, when she heard this,

Ran Mori couldn’t help but feel her scalp tingling, her pupils dilated, and a ball of rage rising to her head.

“Yes, that kind of person really deserves to die!”

Ran Mao Li’s voice trembled.

After witnessing what happened to Sayuri Matsumoto, Ran Mao Li understood that”what if” was something that could really happen.

Let alone Mao Li Kogoro, as a detective, solving the case might cause the hatred of the criminal.

Just talking about Kisaki Eri’s achievements in the law over the years, while helping many vulnerable groups, it must have also secretly caused the fear of some forces.

If someone really retaliates maliciously in the future…

Ran Mao Li didn’t dare to think about the scene at that time, but she knew that she would definitely become crazy.

“Xiao, Xiaolan, are you okay?”

Yuko also noticed that there was something wrong with Mao Lilan’s voice.

“No, it’s okay… But Sonoko, you’re not really going to hire a killer to kill Takasugi Toshihiko, are you?”

“That’s not the case… After all, Mr. Matsumoto’s father is also a superintendent, the Takasugi family should not dare to do anything else”

“Yeah, I think so too……”

After chatting briefly for a few words, Mao Lilan ended the call.

But… what if? What if one year is not enough for Takasugi Toshihiko to feel remorse in his heart.

After he is released from prison, Takasugi Toshihiko makes a move on Matsumoto Sayuri again, what should he do then?

Mao Lilan gritted her teeth, looked at Itake Karuta’s number on her phone, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn’t press the dial button.

It is said that bystanders see clearly, while those involved are confused.

Before, Mao Lilan considered herself a bystander, and she thought that sending Sayuri Matsumoto was too radical.

But after getting herself involved, she no longer had the confidence to persuade him.

……

Because of Catherine’s vacation,

Itake Karuta hung a sign at the door of his house saying that he would suspend business for two days.

In the morning, after Itake Karuta woke up, he began to temper his body with evil spirit.

If converted into numerical values,

Itake Karuta’s current strength, physique, agility, and spirit, the four-dimensional attributes are all 80, reaching the excellent level among ordinary people.

At this intensity, every consumption of 10,000 evil spirit points can bring an increase of 2 attribute points.

But Itake Karuta is now a congenital evil body, and the strengthening effect is more obvious!

Every consumption of 10,000 evil spirit points can bring an increase of 5 attribute points!

The strengthening effect is more than doubled than before.

And the time required for tempering is only half of the original.

After tempering until noon, Itake Karuta took a bath and went out to find food.

But when passing by a coffee shop, his eyes couldn’t help but look at the two pretty figures near the window.

And one of the pretty figures was extremely familiar, it was Miyano Akemi.

As for the identity of the girl sitting opposite Miyano Akemi, it was naturally ready to come out.
