Chapter 665 The countdown to resurrection and the signal of the full moon
“You came all the way to Karuizawa just to choose this?”
As if to resolve the embarrassment, Mikasa Yuji had nothing to say. , took the initiative to ask Fei Yingli about the gift box in hand.
Five colleagues traveled together, and one of them intended to murder the other because of the case the other was handling...
No matter from any angle, this group of lawyers was too special. It was too embarrassing, so now the three of them were sitting in the restaurant, eating breakfast in a subtle atmosphere.
"Almost." Fei Yingli touched the ribbon on the gift box at hand and said with some nostalgia, "We came to Nagano Prefecture during our honeymoon..."
Due to professional reasons, after getting married, , Mouri Kogoro always wears very serious dark suits. Whether he is a policeman or a detective, he is not suitable for dressing up too frivolously - at least Moori Kogoro is not that style.
But she knew that Mouri Kogoro's personal tendency was actually a more lively and casual style. His actual personality was a bit out of touch with the frizzy, and his overly calm style did not match him.
This was also the reason why she rarely agreed to the invitation from her colleagues when she heard that the destination was Karuizawa.
"It sounds like that boy Saku has no hope." Shiozawa Kenzo first teased, and when he mentioned Saku Hoshi, his expression froze again.
Even though the two of them were not present at what happened last night, the police made such a big fuss that it was impossible not to know.
"Hey, since the defendant is a resident of Saku's hometown, why didn't he tell us directly?" Mikasa Yuji scratched his head and expressed helplessly.
“If you tell me straight, you will show mercy?” Fei Yingli raised her eyebrows and glanced at him.
This sentence made Mikasa Yuji feel embarrassed - he originally took over this commission, but he failed to obtain the desired litigation result for the client in the first trial, so he decided to appoint Ritsuko Usui in the second trial. Take over and appeal to change the sentence.
“There is no need to be merciful, I can’t win even if I try my best.” Mikasa Yuji said self-deprecatingly, “But if he made it clear in advance, lawyer Usui might not take over the second trial of the case. .”
"Really? That's not necessarily the case."
When the three people heard the voice coming from behind, they were all stunned and turned to look.
Hashi Saku, who had packed up and looked no different from yesterday, walked out of the elevator, walked towards their dining table, and sat down calmly.
No, it cannot be said that there is no difference at all.
Compared to yesterday, Saku Hoshi seemed to be in better condition today. The last depression between his brows was gone, and he was in excellent spirits.
"Saku..." Shiozawa Kenzo looked at his expression and called his colleague's name uncertainly.
For someone who was first targeted by the Phantom Thief of the Heart and then stayed in the police station for a long time, isn’t Saku Hashi’s current state too good?
It was so good that he was a little worried that the other party was completely ignoring him and was about to go crazy.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Sakubo Hashi raised the corners of his lips and poured himself a cup of hot tea. "Actually, it's not a bad thing to be dealt with by the Phantom Thief of Heart. He's right. , have the courage to kill her, why can't I try to confront her head-on?"
His confidence is not only brought by the information left to him by the Phantom Thief of Heart, but also by the letter written in it. The message full of witty words enlightened him.
As an opponent in court, Ritsuko Usui is a fearsome and disgusting lawyer. Many of the methods she will use outside the court are things that Saku Hoshi despises and is afraid to face.
But even so, Ritsuko Usui's record still has many shortcomings.
——At the very least, she really can’t win against Fei Yingli, right?
Even if he lacks the confidence to defeat his opponent head-on, he can go to Fei Yingli for help. As long as the reason is legitimate, Fei Yingli's character will definitely not refuse his request.
"Do you want to take that case?" Mikasa Yuji's eyes widened, a little surprised, "The difficulty of this case..."
Ritsuko Usui's character is questionable, but her work ability can stand the test and has always been well received in terms of success rate.
The opponent is Ui Bing. How difficult this case is, what he said just now is by no means modest.
"I know it's very difficult, but as expected, if you don't defeat your opponent from the front, you won't be willing to accept it." Saku Hashi smiled.
The progress of the case has not yet reached an irreversible point. There is still room for mediation between the two parties, and he now has a grasp of the omissions that Ui Bing left in the process of handling the case...
"Hit a stick and give me a sweet date. Although I don't know how those guys changed my thinking, but it's really amazing." Sakubo Fashi sighed, feeling sorry for his thrilling experience last night A summary was made.
"As long as you can think about it." Fei Yingli was stunned for a moment. Seeing his calm and determined expression, she couldn't help but smile, "Don't be too presumptuous, kid."
Being able to become Fei Yingli's office A member of the team, Hoshi Saku also has considerable abilities.
The previous choice was probably due to lack of confidence and being annoyed by Ritsuko Usui's attack methods on the defendant, so he made an irrational choice.
Fortunately, it’s not too late to turn around.
"...Look at your mother's appearance." Mouri Kogoro on the other side of the restaurant saw this and finally couldn't sit still. "You also said that she is not interested in that boy who looks not serious? ”
Even though she has become a mother and is getting older, Fei Eri is still a beautiful woman full of mature charm. This is an objective fact, not to mention her increased charm in the eyes of Mouri Kogoro.
At this moment, seeing her smiling at the good-looking Sakubo Shiyan, Mouri Kogoro's sourness almost overflowed.
"Dad, she just wants to encourage Mr. Saku." Mao Lilan interrupted his complaint with disapproval, "From the time you separated to today, you have been whistling and drooling at pretty girls, right? "
"I, why am I drooling..." After choking on his tea, Mouri Kogoro frowned and retorted.
“The way your eyes want to stick to someone’s body is scarier than drooling.” With a disdainful snort, Mao Lilan condemned, “You men can’t even walk when you see a beautiful woman. You men are really like that. ”
The two boys who were sitting on the other side of the table, facing each other and yawning, were shot inexplicably and turned their heads innocently.
"Don't you know very well whether Mom will fall in love with someone else? You used to rely on your good relationship to do whatever you wanted. If Mom really changes her mind, you have to go to her door and hold her in her arms tomorrow. The gate cried. "Maolilan's offensive has not stopped yet.
"You make me sound like a heartless person. I haven't really felt sorry for Eri, have I?" Mouri Kogoro protested. As he spoke, he couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved, "Today's The meaning is different..."
Today is the wedding anniversary of the two of them...
Although it seems too late to discuss this issue now that they are divorced, seeing Concubine Yingli Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but feel frustrated when he showed no signs of really hardening his heart.
Perhaps, he should really reflect on the rift between the two of them caused by his quarrels with Yingli over the past few years.
Some injuries, once caused, are irreversible.
Just as he was in a daze and slowly entered his own rhythm, the sound of a series of high heels approached.
"Mom, good morning!" Mao Lilan stared at Fei Yingli who was getting closer and closer with bright eyes.
Fei Yingli, who was obviously well-groomed, had a little curved hair hanging down her cheeks. When she stood next to Mouri Kogoro, she couldn't help but raise her hand to tidy up her hair on the temples.
"Do you have time to chat?" Looking at Mouri Kogoro who turned his head with a blank expression, Feiying cleared her throat.
Her hands behind her back tightly grasped the beautifully packaged tie box.
————
“In the end, they still had a happy wedding anniversary, right?”
“Keep your voice down, he will hear you. , he will become angry.”
"Didn't I just say something like 'Yingli, I want to apologize to you for my past words and deeds', and something like 'Please come back, I can't bear to miss you anymore'..."
“Shh!”
Mao Lilan quickly covered Conan’s mouth, preventing him from finishing what he said next.
Moori Kogoro, who had changed into a printed tie made of cotton and linen, walked back to the restaurant, looked at the children sitting at the table, waiting eagerly, and coughed twice in embarrassment.
After being intimate with Fei Yingli for a while in front of the young man, he was still quite embarrassed.
"How's it going? What did mom say?" Mao Lilan tilted her head in anticipation. As far as she knew, her parents didn't actually have serious fundamental conflicts. Their separation was more like a deadlock that developed after misunderstandings and emotions were not resolved well.
Now, for a rare moment of honesty, Mouri Kogoro bowed his head and admitted his mistake to Fei Eri.
Last night, when I was anxiously looking for Kogoro Mori, I found that when he went to Ritsuko Usui's ambiguous invitation, he brought several children with him to show his rejection. Fei Eri was also in a good mood.
This is a rare and good opportunity for them to talk about past misunderstandings and knots, so that the relationship can be further developed.
"She said..." Maori Kogoro pressed his neck awkwardly, and faced his daughter's longing eyes, he reluctantly replied, "Well, we are not planning to remarry for the time being."
"Oh..." Mao Lilan He nodded, not discouraged, but his clenched fists couldn't help but relax a little.
Well, she knew that it was not that easy to break the ice...
"But, uh, she can consider coming back to stay for a few days occasionally, um..." Mouri Kogoro didn't I have the nerve to say the following words.
Let me see your sincerity, let me see how the man I chose at the beginning will pursue me again... So, I give you a chance to pursue me again.
This kind of almost flirtatious words, whispered between two people, is a kind of fun, and it is too embarrassing to tell children.
"Great!" Mao Lilan clasped her hands and cheered, "I knew mom would change her mind! How about you learn how to cook steak when you go back and arrange a candlelight dinner?"
“Wha, what...”
“It’s very simple, I can teach you too! When the time comes, I will tell you that there are activities at school, and then leave you two alone...”
"Hey, hey, it's not as fast as you said..."
"In this case, should I make a bed for my mother? Yes, she will definitely not be willing to live in the master bedroom when she comes back."
"Xiaolan..."
"Why don't you let Conan go downstairs and make do with Tangze for two days? Well, it just gives dad some opportunities to participate in solving the case, and lets mom see your current level!"
"What are you talking about? ? Hey, don't go there! Yingli hasn't agreed with me yet, hey!"
"It's none of my business..." Conan, who was suddenly dragged to sleep in the attic, swallowed it innocently. Waffles in your mouth.
"You're a renter, you have no right to interfere with other people's arrangements." Tang Ze patted him on the shoulder and suppressed his protest.
Conan looked sideways at Karasawa.
Aren’t you also living downstairs? There is even just a coffee shop downstairs, which is basically a barely spared place...
“I heard that a cautious legal worker like Fei Yingli will bring a recorder when talking to anyone. "Yes." Tang Ze suddenly spoke, mentioning it casually as if gossiping.
"Yes, what do you think she usually records?" Haiyuan Ai, who was eating bread in small bites as she watched the wonderful family ethics drama, held up the milk with satisfaction.
"...What do you mean?" Conan's eyes widened slightly after he understood their hint.
"Be careful, Kudo, trouble comes from your mouth." Haiyuan Ai raised his eyebrows, "I think Ms. Fei will definitely teach Miss Lan this trick."
" Maybe, the last time you two were at the Observatory Restaurant..." Tang Ze stretched out his tone.
He didn't finish what he said next, but sweat quickly appeared on Conan's forehead.
Oops, even if I knew that Tangze’s words were most likely a lie, and considering that Xiaolan’s clothes at that time didn’t even have a pocket, there was no such thing as a voice recorder, He was still a little sweaty.
"Um, I, I'm going to the bathroom..." Conan, who couldn't sit still, quickly wiped the debris from the corner of his mouth, picked up the phone, stood on tiptoes and ran in the other direction.
No, he has to send a few messages to Xiaolan to make some innuendo.
Tangze already has enough clues in his hands. If Xiaolan also gets some, and the two of them exchange information, he would rather die...
Watching. The anxious detective disappeared around the corner, and Haiyuan Ai put away the smile on his lips.
"Okay, the last irrelevant person has left." Wiping the crumbs from his fingertips with a napkin, Haihara Ai took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
After a few quick clicks on the screen, she showed Tangze the screen that appeared.
Since Noah, an excellent assistant artificial intelligence, has been upgraded again, her ability to control her two laboratories has also reached a higher level.
In the past, she was only able to skillfully operate experimental equipment and summarize experimental records. Now, she has the ability to remotely control the camera position and monitor the progress of experiments in real time.
What is on the screen now is the large white egg left alone in the villa. The shiny surface is particularly dazzling from the perspective of the camera. The faint white halo makes the whole egg seem to be beaten. Like soft light.
"Since last night, the activity has been increasing." With his fingertips, he clicked on the detection instrument with beating numbers in the corner of the screen, and Haihara Ai grimaced, "What on earth did you do?"
"Well..." Tang Ze's eyes drifted to the upper right.
On the surface, it seemed like he was just glancing randomly with a guilty conscience, but in fact, the focus of Tangze's gaze was very clear.
He is looking at the progress bar in the upper right corner of his interface.
Last night, the information given by Yamamura Cao filled in the last blank. He has completed all the information collection about Zhu Fu Jingguang, and theoretically all the conditions for resurrection have been met.
So his mission progress bar disappeared as a matter of course, and was replaced by a countdown to the deadline that he had not seen since he came to this world.
Anyone who has played P5 knows that there is an extremely classic design in the P5 UI, which is the dead line countdown in the upper right corner.
As a time mark to distinguish the main chapters, it will clearly give the current time prompt and tell the player how long it is until the end date of this palace strategy period.
After traveling through time, there was always a blank space. Tangze had gradually gotten used to it and regarded it as a decorative pattern.
As a result, when the playoffs started, it would have new effects, which Tang Ze did not expect.
【There are still [10] days until Zhufu Jingguang is revived】
"Well, as you can imagine, our plan is almost successful." Without explaining the process to Haibara Ai in detail, Karasawa just replied calmly, "Now is the time to witness the miracle, Shiho."
< br>"Miracle you are big!" The person in charge of the experiment who was not notified in time and was frightened half to death by the message in the middle of the night without hesitation dunked on Tang Ze's head, "You didn't say this earlier!"< br>
“Oh, this, it will happen when conditions are ripe, and it will succeed when it should succeed. How can I inform you in advance before success?”
“Is this the problem?” Haiyuan Ai hugged her. Arm, "The problem now is that its cognitive radiation is constantly increasing. If organized people near the home are monitoring, this matter will be exposed sooner or later."
It should be said that this egg has The wavelength is similar to that of X-alloy, which is why Haihara Ai decided to keep a close watch on it and examine it carefully.
At this juncture, if the organization notices what they are doing, something will be very wrong.
"What do you think?" Tang Ze frowned after understanding what his sister was saying.
Under normal circumstances, it is of course impossible for members of the organization to monitor Mihua 2-chome.
The problem is that due to the emergence of the temporary antidote, Bellmode is closely monitoring 2-chome, trying to find an opportunity to take away Haibara Ai and execute her secretly.
“Before the secret is exposed, we have to solve Belmode’s problem.” Haiyuan Ai pursed her lips and dug her fingertips into the fabric of the skirt.
Belmode, this code name that sounds mellow and gentle, is actually one of the code members that she is most afraid of and dare not face. As long as she slightly imagines what kind of eyes this woman will look at her, Haibara Ai almost restrains herself. Can't help but tremble instinctively.
But now, since she has put forward the plan, and the miracle that is about to happen makes everything imminent, there is no room for her to back down.
"Let's start that plan Karasawa. I, I'm ready."
