Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 87: Let's Just Let Maori Kogoro Die

"In short, no matter what Mr. Mao Li was thinking at the time, what he said was totally wrong." Yingsheng sighed: "Even if he actually wanted Attorney Fei to stop working hard and take a rest, the meal is already on the table, why is he still talking after the fact?

Can't you tell me in advance?

Can’t we order takeout?

Can't you just shut up, finish your meal, and then take the initiative to wash the dishes?
And did he have to solve the case that day? Was there no one else in the Metropolitan Police Department, so he had to handle it? Would he ask for leave? Why was he pretending to be so great? Did anyone praise him for his dedication to his job?
As it turns out, no.

What Inspector Megure said was that Mr. Mori's act of shooting without regard for the safety of the hostages caused a lot of controversy within the police station.

Ha, isn't this a matter of course?

Your wife is the one who is injured, and you didn't even go back to check on her. You are such a cold-blooded person.

Yes, the simple-mindedness of the police is one thing, but Mr. Maori should bear the main responsibility for his outrageous behavior.

If he quit his job as a policeman for other reasons, that's fine; but if he had to resign because his reputation was damaged after this incident, then he deserved it.

Just imagine how Lawyer Fei felt when she heard those words.

If it were someone more extreme, I estimate that one person would have died that night, either by suicide, homicide, or homicide followed by suicide. Well, at least one person would have died anyway.

Fortunately.

Lawyer Fei is a strong woman. After all, eight years of family life have never completely wiped out her spirit. With that incident as the fuse, she threw off the two burdens, you and Mr. Maori, and returned to the path she should take, and shines again!

That’s really admirable.”

Yingsheng shook his head and looked at Xiaolan, who had a complicated look in her eyes: "Back to the present, if we really want them to reconcile and get along with each other, then the one who makes the change must be Mr. Maori. Do you have any objection?"

Xiaolan quickly shook her head: "No!"

After listening to Yingsheng's words, Xiaolan has fully realized how excessive what her father did was to her mother, and she herself...

Thinking of something, Xiaolan lowered her head in shame: "When I persuaded my mother before, I also said that she also knew what Dad looked like when he was drunk, and she just had to be patient."

Yingsheng sighed: "It is indeed an excessive remark. You should apologize to Lawyer Fei later."

Xiaolan nodded quickly and listened:

"What was Lawyer Fei's expression when she heard this? Did she say anything to you?"

Xiaolan thought about it and said, "I don't remember the expression, but my mother said that I spoiled my father too much."

Yingsheng nodded: "Yes, I admire her even more.

It's a pity that she only said this to her own daughter, which was not enough. She was not attentive at all. In addition, she never thought of taking you away in the past ten years. Hmm...

I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I have absolutely no intention of provoking you, but judging from the current situation, Lawyer Fei really doesn't care much about you.

There are probably many reasons, one of which is that you are too biased towards Mr. Maori.

Of course, it’s mainly her problem.”

Xiaolan was silent for a few breaths, then smiled faintly: "Mom has been very good to me. Didn't Shuiyue-kun say that it was me who didn't understand Mom's difficulties."

"All of them. There are problems with all three of you."

"..."

“Relax, in this modern society, everyone has problems at home.

Conclusion: Lawyer Fei is an excellent woman. She was once an excellent wife and mother. But after she was freed, she completely abandoned the latter two identities and only kept the title. "Yingsheng paused: "The more I talk, the more I feel that there is no need to persuade her to turn back. Unless you, Xiaolan, are very dissatisfied with her mother's disqualification and want to take revenge on her, she definitely deserves a better life. Why should she go back to the Maori family?"

Xiaolan sighed softly, "At least finish it, and just treat it as a small talk."

Honestly, after Yingsheng had analyzed her to this point, she began to feel that there seemed to be no need for her parents to reconcile...

Ah, I’m so distressed.

But it is indeed like what Shuiyue-jun said, this is actually best for mom and dad.

"In that case, we must go through Mr. Maori's problems one by one."

Yingsheng began to list them one by one: "From what I know from you so far, he is an alcoholic, a gambler, a womanizer, has a sloppy lifestyle, doesn't care about his family members, has no ambition in his career, and has no plans for the future. Xiaolan, do you have anything to add?"

Xiaolan was stunned for a while, and said woodenly, "Sometimes I can be a little arrogant."

She has always felt that her father is unreliable, but she has never had an intuitive understanding of exactly why he is unreliable, probably because she is used to it.

Now that Yingsheng pointed out these problems one by one, she realized the seriousness of the problem.

It seems that Dad is in quite a bad state.

"Well."

Yingsheng continued, "If you want Mr. Mao Li to correct these problems one by one, he must use his own drive. It is difficult for others to persuade him. After all, you and Lawyer Fei are the precedents. This is undoubtedly very difficult.

seriously.

Instead of trying to correct Mr. Maori's shortcomings, it is better to find the advantages that lawyer Fei likes in him, and then use those advantages to find a more suitable partner for her. It is convenient, quick, and once and for all. "

"........."

Xiaolan suddenly realized that she seemed to be in a very strange state of mind. In the past, if someone mentioned her parents so unscrupulously to her, she would definitely get angry no matter how good her personality was.

But when facing Yingsheng...

Well, as expected, this guy is too serious.

Abandon all useless emotions and weigh the pros and cons from a completely rational perspective.

She had told Sonoko before that Suigetsu-kun seemed to have no heart, but in other ways, he seemed very reliable.

However, it is still strange to talk about finding a new boyfriend for her mother like this...

Xiaolan said weakly: "If possible, I still want to save my father first."

Yingsheng shrugged: "Then the question is, what if Mr. Maori thinks that his current life is happy? If you change it, it will be inconsistent with your original goal."

Initial goal:
Let them both be happy.

Xiaolan was stunned again, but this time it only took less than a second before she rolled her eyes:
"Suiyue-kun, do you want to tell me about philosophy? I don't understand. Besides," Xiaolan gritted her teeth, "even if he is satisfied with the current situation, such an unhealthy lifestyle needs to be changed!"

"why?"

"Mizue-kun once said, don't think too much before doing anything. If I have to find a reason... well, I just think he was too bad in the past, and I want to take revenge on him."

"OK!"
