Chapter 45: Xiao Lan was accused by the evil person first. (Ch 45)

The next morning, Maori Kogoro called and asked Mochizuki to go to his house for lunch. Mochizuki then remembered that Kogoro had said last time that he wanted to treat him to a taste of Xiaolan in order to thank him for advertising for him during an interview at the art museum.

Oh, no, it means to try Xiaolan’s cooking skills.

Since Kogoro was so enthusiastic, Mochizuki didn’t hesitate and took the bus directly to Beika Town. To be honest, he really wanted to try Xiaolan’s cooking.

“Haha, Mochizuki, you’re here? Come and sit down!” When Kogoro saw Mochizuki, he was like seeing a lucky star, and hurriedly asked Mochizuki to sit down. “Today I specially asked Xiaolan to buy more vegetables, will you be ready later?”

Wangyue also smiled and said, “That’s really exciting!”

Then Mochizuki greeted Conan again, “Hello, Conan!”

“Hello, Brother Mochizuki!” Conan responded in a baby voice.

The aroma of food was already wafting from the office’s kitchen. Xiaolan came over with the food, smiled and greeted Wangyue, then put the food on the table and went back to the kitchen to work. Xiaolan was wearing an apron, looking a bit like a housewife.

Soon all the dishes were cooked, and Xiaolan took off her apron and sat down to eat together.

“How is it, Wangyue? Is my cooking skills okay?” Xiaolan asked cautiously.

Usually she only cooks for her father and Conan, and has never cooked specifically for guests.

“Of course! It’s awesome!”

When Xiaolan heard what Mochizuki said, a smile appeared on her face and she looked very happy.

…

When lunch was almost over, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Xiaolan said to herself, “Is it a guest?”

Because the kitchen is on the third floor and everyone is eating there, there is no one on the second floor, which is used as the office. If a guest comes and no one answers the door on the second floor, it is normal to try knocking on the third floor.

“Hey! Kid, go open the door!” Kogoro called Conan.

Although Conan was reluctant, he still went over and opened the door.

A female voice came from outside, “Is Detective Maori here?”

Looking again, it was a woman with short hair, smiling, wearing a black business suit, looking very elegant.

Kogoro’s eyes suddenly lit up, what a beautiful girl!

“Ahem! I’m Maori Kogoro! Ma’am, is there anything I can help you with?” Kogoro grabbed the woman’s hand, his face showing only integrity, without a trace of improper thoughts.

Well, because the improper desires are in the heart, not on the face.

Conan Mochizuki and Xiaolan were both dumbfounded.

Wow! When did you go there? Can you teleport?

The woman calmly broke free from Maori Kogoro’s hands, without any change in her expression, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Usui Ritsuko, and like your wife Kisaki Eri, I am also a lawyer.”

Usui Ritsuko? Mochizuki had an impression of this name. Wasn’t this the woman who tried to seduce Maori Kogoro in a certain case, but was killed by someone else before she succeeded? Why did she come to his house?

“Hmm?” When Kogoro heard her mention his wife, he put away all his frivolousness.

When Xiaolan heard the other party mention her mother, she quickly stood up and asked, “Do you know my mother?”

Usui Ritsuko still had a smile on her face, “You are the daughter of Lawyer Hime, right? You are already so old… Lawyer Hime and I do know each other. In a sense, we are competitors.”

“Then what do you want to see me about?” Kogoro asked.

“I’m not here to see you. I’m here to see you on behalf of Mr. Uzumoto Kitaro and Ms. Uzumoto Mariko.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Kogoro’s expression suddenly turned ugly.

The couple, of course, remembered that their son tried to take advantage of Xiaolan on the bus, and was sent to the detention center by Xiaolan. They also came to coerce and bribe Xiaolan without repentance, hoping that Xiaolan would change her story and claim that what happened on the bus was just a misunderstanding.

Xiaolan also became alert after hearing what Usui Ritsuko said. This woman was actually sent by the Usumoto couple…

Usui Ritsuko took out something like an envelope, handed it to Maori Kogoro, and said, “This is a lawyer’s letter, please keep it. It seems that you are having dinner, so I will not disturb you. The Usumoto couple will come with me tomorrow afternoon. Goodbye.”

“Stop! What do you mean?” Kogoro asked harshly. Just now, Kogoro wanted to please her because of her beauty, but now he was no longer in a good mood towards Usui Ritsuko.

Although Kogoro Mori is lustful, he can also distinguish right from wrong.

Usui Ritsuko paused, turned around and replied with a smile: “Detective Maori, what you said is not quite accurate… It’s not what I meant, but what you meant. I hope you can make the right choice, otherwise I will see you in court.”

After saying this, Usui Ritsuko left in a cool manner, regardless of Kogoro Mori’s yelling.

“Damn it! This woman’s attitude really makes me mad!” Kogoro was furious.

Wangyue reminded: “Let’s take a look at the so-called lawyer’s letter first.”

“Yes, yes! I want to see what the lawyer’s letter says…” Kogoro opened the envelope and took out the lawyer’s letter from it. Mochizuki, Ran, and Conan all gathered together to check the contents.

Then they were stunned by the contents inside.

At the beginning, the conditions were the same as mentioned last time, hoping that Xiaolan could change her words and claim that what happened on the bus was a misunderstanding. The Yamoto couple were willing to give Xiaolan a benefit of one million yuan.

The following words are unpleasant to hear. They claim that Xiaolan deliberately framed their son and wanted to use this to blackmail him. In fact, Ichiro Yamoto did nothing. The couple simply did not want to make a big deal out of it, so they put forward the above conditions. If Xiaolan still insists on doing it, they don’t mind using legal means to deal with her.

“How could they do this?” Xiaolan was so angry that she almost cried after seeing what was written in the lawyer’s letter. He was obviously the bad guy, how come I was the bad guy?

How could a 17-year-old girl who had not yet entered society have experienced such a thing? Xiaolan felt very sad and wronged.

“How ridiculous!” Kogoro slammed the table angrily and shouted, “How dare they be the first to file a complaint? How dare they confuse right and wrong! The people from the Yamoto Group are so shameless!”

Wangyue was also surprised by their shamelessness, but then she thought about it and it didn’t seem strange. The capitalists were the best at confusing right and wrong. For example, they made a very reasonable statement about good fortune, and what was even more ridiculous was that some people believed it.

Conan is also gritting his teeth in hatred! Damn it! How dare you slander Xiaolan like this? It seems that I need to go to your house to film an episode!

“Uncle! Don’t agree to them!” Conan was afraid that Kogoro was confused, so he quickly gave him a warning. “On the surface, as long as Sister Xiaolan changes her words, the matter will be over and we can get the money. But if we do that, it would be equivalent to tacitly agreeing to what they said, and Sister Xiaolan might have to bear this stain for the rest of her life.”
