Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 122 Yukiko's Triumph and Ran's Exquisite Play

Beikacho, Kitahara Chinese Restaurant.

After a busy period, the number of guests gradually decreased, and everyone had a little free time.

At this moment, Yukiko came to Kitahara Natsuhiro's side, looked around, and after confirming that Hirota Masami and Enomoto Azusa were not paying attention to them, and that Amuro Tooru had gone out to buy something, she casually asked.

"What did you just say to Attorney Fei?"

Not long ago, Eri Kisaki made a phone call to Natsuhiro Kitahara, who was very curious.

Upon hearing this, a smile flashed in Kitahara Natsuyu's eyes, and he twitched his nose: "Why do I smell vinegar? It's so sour."

"Are you jealous because you saw me talking to the beautiful lawyer Fei on the phone?"

Upon hearing this, Yukiko instinctively wanted to deny it, but after meeting Kitahara Natsuyu's ambiguous smile, she became somewhat embarrassed and angry: "No way."

"There's only a tiny bit."

Yukiko's mouth is a little stubborn, but only a little. Compared to Eri Kisaki, Kogoro Mouri, and Conan next door, she's much better.

"Is it really just a little?"

"I don't believe it!" Kitahara Natsuyu leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Unless you let me kiss you, I won't know if it's still sour or not."

Feeling the hot breath exhaled by Kitahara Natsuhiro, Yukiko felt as if she had been electrocuted, her body trembling slightly. Her legs began to rub together restlessly, and she clutched her slightly pounding chest. Being so close in this situation was very exciting for her.

But after the initial shock, she looked around nervously.

They breathed a sigh of relief after realizing there was hardly anyone around.

A little annoyed, Yukiko reached out and gave him a light pinch on the waist, saying coquettishly, "Oh my god! What if other people see this?"

"You'll be the subject of gossip."

She herself doesn't care, since she's already planning to get a divorce anyway. Besides, she's been married before, so reputation doesn't matter to her at all, and she doesn't plan to get married again.

Kitahara Natsuhiro is still young and a teacher. If people find out about this, it will have a bad impact, and he might even lose his job.

Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll quit being a teacher. I'm just someone who gets by, and I don't live off a teacher's salary."

"I don't want you to suffer any injustice as much as I do myself."

Hearing this, Yukiko felt a warmth in her heart and was very moved. However, in public, she still needed to keep her distance from Kitahara Natsuyu, at least until she was actually divorced.

"Hmph!" Yukiko snorted, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

Kitahara Natsuhiro's words made her very happy.

"Stop changing the subject. What exactly did Attorney Fei want when she called you?"

Although what you just said made me very happy, I still need to ask the questions that need to be asked.

"She didn't say anything. She just left something in the store and asked me to keep it safe and return it to her next time."

As he spoke, Kitahara Natsuyu took the button out of his pocket.

"Buttons?!"

When Yukiko saw the button, it seemed somewhat familiar.

She clearly remembered that Eri was wearing a suit today, and the buttons on her suit jacket were exactly the same as these.

So, this button is the one on Yingli's suit.

So here's the question: why are the buttons from Eri Kisaki's clothes in Natsuhiro Kitahara's pocket?

“Yeah.” Kitahara Natsuyu put the button back in his pocket and smiled. “Attorney Fei used a button to hurt someone today. It almost hit me, but luckily I caught it, or I might have been disfigured.”

Upon hearing this, Yukiko paused, then muttered, "A button hurt someone? Almost got hit? Scarred?"

"Is it possible?"

Thinking of this, Yukiko's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered the truth of the matter, and she covered her mouth and laughed.

"So it was because Attorney Fei's clothes button popped open, that's why she almost hit you, right?"

This had happened to her before, but there was no one around when it happened, so the button injury incident didn't occur.

But here comes the problem.

Eri Kisaki has long since stopped developing and is not pregnant, so her figure is unlikely to improve again.

Then there's only one possibility: Eri Kisaki has gained weight, which caused her clothes to become tight and eventually the buttons to pop off.

Thinking of this, Yukiko smiled even more happily.

Although they are good friends, they are also rivals.

After all, they had competed for the title of Teitan Princess back in Teitan High School.

Of course, the two were evenly matched, with the same number of votes.

But right now, she should have a slight advantage because she hasn't gained weight!
Kitahara Natsuhiro glanced at Yukiko, whose smile was barely concealed, and said with a smile, "That's true."

"So when Attorney Fei comes next time, I will return this button to her."

"And she even wants to treat me to dinner, as an apology."

He's really looking forward to having dinner with Eri Kisaki, especially since the last time he ate out was with Yukiko.

As a result, after eating, he was slept with by Yukiko.

Hmph! Pretending to be drunk, that's too much!
Just as Yukiko was about to say something, Conan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, his mask nowhere to be seen, holding alcohol and cotton swabs in his hand, panting, "Mom, Kitahara-sensei, Ran-neechan is in trouble, you should go and see her right away."

Conan, who rushed over, didn't notice that Kitahara Natsumi was particularly close to his mother, because Ran was the only person on his mind right now.

Mom?

We're not really familiar with each other now.

Upon hearing this, Yukiko's expression changed, and she squatted down to press Conan's shoulder.

"what happened?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro frowned after noticing the alcohol and cotton swabs in Conan's hand.

He then put down what he was holding and casually wiped his hands on his apron. "Fumiyo, don't ask yet. We'll know once we go and take a look."

After saying that, Kitahara Natsuyu took the lead and left the kitchen, heading straight outside.

Conan and Yukiko followed closely behind.

When Kitahara Natsuyu came outside, he happened to see red spots on the ground. He sniffed them and found that they smelled like blood.

And the owner of this bloody scent was none other than Ran. He looked up at the Mouri Detective Agency on the second floor, his brows furrowed.

If he remembered correctly, Ran went to find Kogoro Mouri after leaving the restaurant.

Now he's injured himself. Could it be that he got into a fight with someone from Kogoro Mouri's side?
Just then, Tooru Amuro returned on his bicycle.

When he saw the red spots on the ground, his expression also turned serious.

Based on his experience, the red marks on the ground were caused by drops of blood, and the owner of the blood had not been away from here for long.

Even right here around here.

He immediately became alert.

"Amuro, could you please watch over the shop while I go to the Mori Detective Agency?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro looked at Amuro Tooru, who had just returned, and said.

Amuro Tooru subconsciously looked up at the second floor. Was something happening at the Mouri Detective Agency?
"Do I need to call an ambulance?"

"Sister Xiaolan just hurt her hand. There's no need to call an ambulance. Just apply some medicine."

At that moment, Conan spoke up.

On the way back with Ran carrying Kogoro Mouri, he went to examine the wound on Ran's right hand.

There were no shards of glass inside, and no bones were broken; it was just a minor scrape. Nothing serious.

Although the external injuries are not a major problem, the emotional scars are a much bigger issue.

He saw a numbness in Xiaolan's eyes; she looked like a walking corpse.

He tried to say something to Xiaolan on the way, but Xiaolan ignored him. He even tried to evoke Xiaolan's sympathy by saying that he was also going to become an orphan.

But in the end, he gave up on that option because he was afraid that Xiaolan's situation would get even worse.

So he had no other choice but to ask his mother, Yukiko, for help.

After all, Yukiko is a woman too, so maybe she can help Ran recover.

Sometimes, the one who truly understands a woman isn't necessarily a man, but another woman.

"I see," Amuro Tooru nodded, then looked at Kitahara Natsuyu: "Boss, you can call me if you need anything."

Kitahara Natsuyu said, "I will."

"Conan, let's go up."

"it is good."

Conan nodded and led Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yukiko upstairs.

crunch
After Kitahara Natsuyu and the other two arrived on the second floor, he reached out and opened the door to the office, then pushed it open and went inside.

Upon entering, he saw Kogoro Mouri lying unconscious on the sofa.

Xiaolan sat upright opposite the sofa, staring blankly at the wall in front of her, her eyes lifeless, and tears streaming down her face.

Blood was still seeping from the back of his right hand, where the fingers were bent, and the blood flowed down his hand to the ground.

This has been completely ruined by Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri.

Judging from Ran's current state, she must have successfully caught him cheating, and Eri Kisaki found out about it and insisted on getting a divorce.

Then Xiaolan broke down.

This is normal, after all, Ran has been busy for ten years trying to get Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki back together.

At that moment, all the achievements vanished into thin air.

Anyone would have done the same.

It's like someone playing with a jigsaw puzzle, and just when they're about to get the last piece, someone slaps it away.

This situation is truly devastating, but Xiaolan's situation is far more serious.

"Xiao Lan."

At that moment, Yukiko rushed over, knelt down beside Ran, and called out to her.

Hearing Yukiko's call, Ran reacted slightly, turned her head to look at Yukiko, and forced a smile, but the smile was somewhat wooden and her eyes were lifeless.

"Aunt Wendai"

After shouting, she continued to look ahead, remaining motionless.

Yukiko's heart skipped a beat when she saw Ran's appearance.

"Conan, bring the things over here."

"Oh, here we come."

Conan rushed over, knelt down, and began cleaning Ran's wounds with Yukiko.

Kitahara Natsumi, who was standing to the side, also came over, glanced at the unconscious Kogoro Mouri, and noticed a mark on his neck.

Anyone who has ever performed a hand chop knows that this mark is a sign left after a hand chop.

And the only people who could do that were Xiaolan and him.

However, he wasn't there at the time, so it must have been Xiaolan.

He glanced at the distraught Ran, then finally fixed his gaze on Conan.

"Conan, tell me what happened."
