Chapter 389 Neighborhood Committee Coordinator Karasawa (July monthly ticket plus 23 updates)
"...So, that's it." Sitting across from Moori Kogoro's desk, Karasawa said seriously, "Classmate Lan I feel that joker's warning is actually talking about your bad habits, rather than reminding you to pay attention to your safety. He is saying, 'If you don't change, he will take action.'"
Mouri Kogoro heard the corners of his eyes twitching.
His eyes slowly passed over the serious-looking faces of his daughter and naughty child, and then he looked carefully at Tang Ze, who had been sitting for a long time, and inhaled hissingly as if he had a toothache.
"You guys..." He clenched his fists, and for the sake of the well-behaved neighbor children, he managed to control his emotions and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "What are you thinking about? Well, did the joker tell you personally?”
Mao Lilan put her hands on her hips and stared: "Dad! Wait until Joker comes to tell you personally, it will be too late, you will receive the notice letter!"
"Hey! I just, um, Some adults just behave normally. Isn’t that joker specifically focused on all kinds of criminals? How could he mess with me?” Thinking of the card that Mao Lilan brought back, it is now lying neatly at the bottom of the drawer. He felt a little guilty, but he still retorted sternly, "You guys, don't make such a fuss!"
"Dad, you haven't even gone to their website to learn about it." He didn't give in a step. Mao Lilan crossed his arms and took a step forward, "They will now screen them one by one according to the order of nominations on the website. Some people have not yet committed crimes, but may just have conflicts or personality problems, and they will also be listed by the Phantom Thieves." "
"Yes, Uncle Maori, if you don't correct yourself, then we will find a few more people to write your name on the website together," Conan, who was sitting on the edge of the table, supported. Said, "Then the members of the Phantom Thieves will notice you no matter what!"
"Hey-" Mouri Kogoro raised his voice, "So, why do you have to...!"
"Let you drink less and stop gambling. I have said this more than once!" Mao Lilan also raised her voice, "It's because you are so perfunctory every time, always saying what children know, or just saying a few words, mom. That's why I'm so angry and refuse to go home!"
"I...!" When Mao Lilan mentioned Fei Yingli, Maori Kogoro's arrogance suddenly disappeared and his voice dropped.
After staring at his resolute daughter for a while, Mouri Kogoro felt his daughter's serious mood and pressed his throbbing temple. He was not sure whether this nerve pain was due to a hangover. Or because of the current development of events.
“Huh——” He let out a long breath, and his strength seemed to be exhausted with this breath, and he slumped back and leaned on the office chair, “If that Phantom Thief can really do this If it’s to a certain extent, just let him come.”
Drinking is bad for your health. Alcohol is corroding his strong body when he was young. Gambling is a bottomless pit, which makes other people still have savings in middle age. There was so little I could offer that I had been separated from my wife for many years, and had to accept financial aid from her from time to time...
Doesn't he know these things are harmful?
Of course he knows, and even because of his professional experience, he has faced many dark sides of human nature, and he knows very well what will happen to people who are addicted to these things.
But the problem is, if we could simply refuse temptation and fight against human nature, how could we have so many troubles?
"Dad!" Seeing Maori Kogoro's broken appearance, saying that I just can't do it anyway, Mao Lilan was so angry that he clenched his fists and was about to punch him. On his desk.
"Classmate Lan, Classmate Lan! Okay, don't be too angry, I'll talk to Mr. Mao Li." Tang Ze quickly grabbed Mao Li Lan's wrist, "We agreed before. If Mao Li My husband refuses to cooperate no matter what. It’s useless no matter how hard you try.”
Mao Lilan retracted her clenched hand, looked at Tang Ze's expression, and nodded heavily, thinking of the strategy they had discussed previously.
Conan, who was led by her to leave the office and go upstairs, couldn't help but turn around before the door of the office closed, and carefully looked at Tang Ze's figure with his back to the door for a while.
For Xiaolan's request, Tangze actually took on the troublesome task of communicating with Uncle Maori... You know, this kind of third party that is sandwiched between children and parents and has no authority in itself , the work of communication and coordination will be even more difficult. People who are a little bit more difficult with interpersonal relationships will find it difficult to just watch such a scene.
This guy Karasawa...
Regarding this issue, you have to ask Tang Ze what he thinks...
Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, Tang Ze is ready to be a neighborhood committee coordinator, and he is fully aware of this.
Waiting until the door behind him was completely closed, Tang Ze, who had collected his thoughts, raised his head, put away the gentle and harmless smile on his face, and his expression became serious.
There is a pair of Karasawa with cat eyes. When he stares straight ahead with an expressionless face like this, the person being stared at can't help but feel a sense of crisis, as if he is facing a precursor to an attack.
This is how Mouri Kogoro feels now. He originally had some thoughts of using words to fool children, but under this kind of gaze, he had to restrain himself and relax his posture, sitting a little straighter.
"Mr. Mori..." After exhaling, Tangze said, "It is very difficult to get rid of desires that have been unruly for a long time, and to say goodbye to previous indulgent habits. I don't think you deliberately wanted to do this. Life - you know, whether it's alcoholism or gambling, these are very bad habits that will hurt your loved ones and yourself. But to completely separate from it is really not as simple as a sentence or two. . ”
I don’t know if it was what Karasawa said, but Mouri Kogoro’s face tightened slightly, and he didn’t know how to answer for a while.
"Classmate Lan may have been a little aggressive today, but I guess it's because she was frightened, and she couldn't express her anxious mood." After exaggerating the scary emotion first, Tangze's second sentence Mentioning Mao Lilan, "We were after school today and accidentally ran into a conflict that almost turned into a murder. The root cause of the conflict between the two people was because that person was deeply involved in gambling, and his huge gambling debts dragged down his partner. With him The other party in the conflict was his girlfriend’s brother.”
Hiding out the roles they played in the story, Tangze focused on the women who were devastated by gambling debts and their lives were gloomy. The word "mate" has an accent in its position.
Concerning this issue... Karasawa really felt that Fei Yingri had done her utmost to treat Mouri Kogoro.
He still remembered a case in a drama he had seen before.
As a result of receiving a well-paid commission, Mouri Kogoro squandered the deposit paid by the client and lost a large sum of money in a short period of time.
He also signed an employment contract with high liquidated damages in advance, so when the case became difficult, because he could not return the deposit, he had no way to turn down the commission and had to ask Fei Yingli for help.
No matter which angle you look at this plot, Mouri Kogoro's behavior was extremely excessive. He squandered his money, but in the end, it was others who paid the price.
Considering Fei Yingli, whose relationship has been disconnected, she had to put down her work to clean up the aftermath.
Sure enough, after listening to Karasawa's summary, Mouri Kogoro's expression stiffened for a moment.
“That girl, in order to repay the money, worked day and night and lived frugally. However, her hard-earned income for a month could only support him for one day... Just listening to her brother’s few words of accusation, We all feel angry and intolerable. I think classmate Lan must have thought of a lot of things." When Tang Ze said this, he calmed down and said directly, "She is probably happy, Fei Yingli. The lady is a well-paid lawyer, so she will not be overwhelmed by the debt and be in such a desperate situation.”
