======I am the time dividing line======

"Honey, who are you talking to?"

Seeing Ren Ye Huan typing on her phone with a charming smile on her face, Murong Zhen asked.

"Chatting in the group, welcome Xiaolan to join the group! Big bad husband, do you want to take a rest? There are not enough rooms at home."

"Then continue to expand! We have plenty of money!"

"I really can't do anything about you. Recently, my sisters have been gearing up and actively preparing for pregnancy. They are preparing to become mothers by the end of this year, so you..."

"I am willing to serve you like a dog and a horse!!!"

After parting with Ren Ye Huan, he went back to the company to meet Murong Sha Luo and inspected her work in all aspects. She did a good job! Therefore, Murong Zhen generously gave her more rewards.

Since the company has come, we cannot favor one over the other. This is totally not Murong Zhen’s style.

By the time I left the company, it was already evening.

After a busy day, I decided not to drive and flew instead. Under the silent night sky, overlooking the entire Tokyo city, I have to say, it was still quite beautiful.

Through the window, he saw that the light in Xiaolan's room was on, so he used the same trick again and entered directly through the window.

At this time, Xiaolan had finished washing up and was wearing a purple nightgown. She was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book, showing her nobility and mystery.

Seeing Murong Zhen coming in through the window in an unusual way, she did not feel any shock or surprise, as if she was used to such actions.

She put the book down, greeted him sweetly, and said, "Hubby, you're back!"

"Uh-huh, are you waiting for me?"

"No...no, I'm...reading a book and getting ready for bed."

"That's a coincidence, let's go to bed!"

"Aren't you going to wash up?"

"Yeah, it's good to wash, but my shoulders are a little sore..."

"I'll help you! Come on, you always try to bully people in a roundabout way..."

"Ran, are father-in-law and Conan asleep?"

"No...no, Dad has gone out for a drink and hasn't come back yet. Conan went camping in Nishitama City with Professor Agasa and the others."

"Aren't there just two of us at home?!"

"Yes... yes! Husband, your eyes look like you want to eat someone, so scary!"

"Haha! Now you're scared now, right? This time you won't disturb others even if you scream at the top of your lungs!"

"Ah! Help!!!"

======I am the time dividing line======

"Honey, it looks like Dad hasn't come back yet. It's so late. I wonder if he has passed out drunk on the road."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll pick him up now."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"Forget it. It's late at night and it's still a bit cold outside. You've worked so hard before. Have a good rest..."

"Thank you for your consideration. If you were not the culprit, I would be so moved that I would marry you!" Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly.

"Haha~"

Murong Zhen put on his clothes and went out, following Xiaolan's instructions and found the inconspicuous Meisheng Izakaya.

I pushed aside the door curtain and walked in. It was very exquisite and compact inside. Although it was a bit small, it had all the necessary facilities.

The first thing that caught my eye was Kogoro Mouri, who was drunk and snoring at the bar.

The next thing I saw was the proprietress at the bar, who was wearing a kimono and a snow-white apron.

Speaking of which, the proprietress looked somewhat familiar. I felt like I had seen her somewhere. After thinking about it for a while, I recognized her. She was the woman who came towards me and nodded to say hello when I was leaving the cemetery.

At this moment, she was crying quietly, as if something sad had happened.

Because there were only Kogoro Mouri and the proprietress in the store, Murong Zhen, who had watched many movies and TV series, couldn't help but have some fantasies.

I quickly took a look at the boss lady’s clothes, which were very complete!

This time, I silently apologized to Maori Kogoro in my heart, thinking: Father-in-law, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you! It's because you are drunk and may have lost some of your rationality. And the boss lady is also quite pretty, and she still has her charm.

The proprietress was a bit experienced and saw what Murong Zhen was thinking. She immediately explained, "Thank you, sir! But it's not what you think. This is Mr. Mao Li, a frequent customer of my store. Although he is a bit lecherous, his words and actions are very measured."

"Then why are you crying? Is there something sad? There's no one around, so why not talk to me? It might make you feel better after you talk it out."

It turned out that today was her son's death anniversary. Just three years ago today, her 8-year-old son was pushed down the stairs by a drunk man and eventually died.

I had been numbing myself with busy work, but when I went to see my son again today, the painful memories of the past came flooding back to me, and I couldn't help but feel sad.

"Mr. Murong..."

"Sister Changzi, just call me A-Zhen, there's no need to be so formal..."

"Ah... Ah Zhen, I'd like to ask you, are the candies in front of my son's tombstone left by you?"

Chapter 439 Picking up Kogoro

"Yes, it's me! So, Usami Masaki is your son? But isn't your name Kameda Masako?"

"Yes, that's right. He was my son who was murdered three years ago. He was only 8 years old at that time. His favorite candy was the candy you displayed. I would bring him some every time I went there. As for my last name, my name after marriage was Usami Masako, but after my son died, I divorced my husband because of some things, so I changed back to my original last name."

"By the way, how do you know it's me and not Masaki's dad?"

"In the past few years, only his father and I went to pay our respects to him. This year, his father was too busy with work to come. So I guessed it was you. Judging from your appearance, you look like a kind and considerate man."

"Oh? Sister can also read faces, then you have to take a good look at me and see what kind of man I am besides being kind and considerate."

"Do I need to see more? I may not be so clear about your other characteristics, but I will definitely not be wrong about your lustful nature."

After saying that, he gently tried to pull out his hand that was held by Murong Zhen, but failed.

This was something that other guests did not do, nor did they dare to do, which was to hold her hand and play with it.

However, there was not a single trace of lewdness in his eyes, which made her unable to get angry at all. She felt surprised and helpless.

"I should say it or not, sister is really good at judging people! I toast to sister!"

"Hey, I seem to be missing a hand, sister, help me!"

Changzi gave him a reproachful look, as if to say, can't you free up one hand to drink?

However, he still picked up the wine glass on the table with his other hand, Murong Zhen drank it all in one gulp, smacked his lips and praised: Good wine!

In this way, the two seemed to appreciate each other and felt that they had met too late. They chatted for a long time and told each other about their situations and experiences.

Changzi's situation is rather dull and boring, but Murong Zhen's is very exciting, just like the protagonist in a cool novel.

Changzi felt as if he was listening to a story, but looking at Murong Zhen's sincere eyes, he didn't feel at all that he was lying or talking drunkenly.

A pot of wine, a cup, two people.

Changzi held the cup in her delicate hands, and they drank from it, one cup after another, without considering the awkward situation of sharing a cup.

Until she was drinking, suddenly, her hand holding the wine shook and the wine spilled on her lapel.

The instigator looked completely clueless and acted as if it had nothing to do with me.

"There's a rest room behind me with some change of clothes. I'll go change."

After saying that, he gave Murong Zhen a reproachful look, then stood up and walked inside.

This glance of charm also made Murong Zhen's heart tremble.

He also stood up, closed the shop door, and hung a sign saying "Closed".

A silver needle was gently inserted into the neck of Kogoro Mouri, who was still showing signs of waking up, to allow him to continue sleeping, at least for another two hours.

However, since he was his father-in-law after all, he was considerate enough to take his suit jacket from the clothes hanging behind the counter and put it on him.

Then, he walked to the back with great anticipation.

======I am the scene dividing line======

Nishitama City

Inside the Twin Towers skyscraper

It was supposed to be the quiet night when everyone was off work, but in a room, there was a little black man wearing glasses, working rapidly in front of a computer.

He typed on the keyboard until it made a crackling sound, and finally the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, which also indicated that he had succeeded.

However, he soon showed a solemn expression on his face again, and said: "The information I finally obtained was encrypted. But it only takes some time. It won't be difficult for me. I will go back and study it slowly."

After saying that, he ejected a disk, put it in his pocket, turned off the computer, stood up and left the office.

The office fell into silence again, as if no one had been there.

Another place

A secret base of the Black Organization

"Brother, are you asleep?"

"Not yet! What's wrong? It's so late, what do you want from me?"

"Brother, the tracking system has found the person who hacked into our server and has successfully located him."

Vodka paused and continued, "Brother, you are really good at predicting things! The intruder is located in the Tokiwa Group in the twin skyscrapers of Nishitama City. It must be that traitorous guy Hara!"

"But don't worry, big brother. Our data is encrypted. Even if he is a computer expert, it is not easy to decrypt it."

"Well, I've never been soft-hearted when it comes to dealing with traitors. Let's go and test his words tomorrow. Isn't Shirley going there next week? I just happen to have a plan that can erase both the traces on the computer and Shirley's traces!"

"Brother is wise!"

Gin: "I haven't even told you about my plan yet..."

"Oh oh, big brother, you say!"

"On the day of the banquet, I plan to blow up the computer room where the Tokiwa Group stores data, and place bombs in the banquet hall so that others will not be able to tell what our purpose is."

"I said that Big Brother is wise! It seems that my praise is very forward-looking!"

Gin: “…”
