Keisuke Kumiko's words were as sarcastic as ever, and they were harsh no matter how you listened to them.
Looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but frown.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing special. I just thought it was funny."
Keisuke Kumiko glanced at Kogoro Mouri, who had stopped harassing the girl and was staring at him fiercely because of his appearance.
There was still a disgusting smile on his face.
"I remember the adult industry in Japan created a classic term. What was it called?"
He pretended to be thinking.
Then he suddenly realized what was going on and clapped his hands.
"Oh, my husband is guilty!"
Keisuke Kumiko said with a smile.
"In your current situation, if you change the husband to the wife and swap the positions of the couple, except for the erotic aspect, it will be quite similar!"
What Keisuke Kumiko said was really harsh.
Kogoro Mori was so furious that he couldn't bear it anymore. He rushed over and grabbed Keisuke Kumiko by the collar.
"You bastard, say that again if you dare!"
"Am I wrong?"
Even though he was being pulled by the collar, Keisuke Kumiko was not afraid at all and looked down at him condescendingly.
"He left his beautiful and capable wife at home, didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a husband, and went out to harass other women."
"Your wife has been dissatisfied for a long time, but you still insist on yielding, acting as if it's your right."
"Men like you are a disgrace to married men in Japan. All the bad habits in Japanese marriages are caused by people like you!"
"You are incompetent and lustful. Why don't you stop being a detective and become the protagonist of an adult movie?"
Keisuke Kumiko has a lawyer's mouth, full of eloquent words and beautiful speeches.
Kogoro Mouri's face turned red, and his fingers trembled constantly.
"You, you…"
He couldn't catch his breath and wanted to say something, but it was as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat and couldn't open his mouth.
"Eri, please tell me about him!"
He could only turn around and seek help from his wife, who was also a lawyer.
But at this moment, Kisaki Eri lowered her head and remained silent.
She was thinking about what Keisuke Kumiko said when he first appeared.
At the same time, she also recalled the years she had lived with her husband.
Kogoro is a man who doesn't have any special skills, but he is very good to her.
Although they always quarreled, after a while they would reconcile, and Kogoro would also say nice things to her and buy her gifts to make her happy.
But that was a long, long time ago.
I don't know when Kogoro started to change.
He became lustful and neglected his family. He often went out to gamble on horses and play mahjong, and even harassed other women in front of her.
Later, when the two separated, he let himself go completely and stayed outside all day long.
Only when I encounter a problem that I can't solve, occasionally, will I come over to talk to her, and then I will be nicer to her.
After that, he would return to his old ways and continue to harass other women.
For such a man, is it really necessary for her to always think about him and accommodate him?
Kisaki Eri remained silent, lost in thought.
On this side, Kogoro Maori couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that his wife didn't say anything.
"Eri, what's wrong with you? Speak quickly! Help me teach him a lesson!"
However, what he heard was his wife's cry for help.
Kisaki Eri just raised her head and looked at him silently.
There was a look of disappointment in her blue eyes.
She shook her head and said nothing, then walked through the crowd in the hallway and left the court.
"Dad, you should reflect on yourself!"
Mori Ran looked at her father, sighed, and followed her mother.
"Eri! She ran away!"
Kogoro Mori's anxious voice came from behind.
Kisaki Eri ignored him, got into a taxi with her daughter, and drove away.
The eyes of the reporters in the hall lit up as they took pictures and recorded the whole situation.
This is a fascinating story. They have even thought of the headline for tomorrow's report.
"Committed a crime in front of his wife, openly cheating in front of her!"
"New lawyer Keisuke Kumiko angrily denounced Maori Kogoro, who is a disgrace to Japanese men! "
"Eri leaves in anger, is the couple's relationship likely to break down?" "
Of course, the title must be eye-catching.
The media doesn't care about any exaggeration as long as it can attract traffic.
"It's all your fault!"
On this side, Kogoro Mouri failed to call his wife back, so he turned around and roared at Keisuke Kumiko.
"You bastard! You made my wife run away!"
He raised his fist, ready to punch Keisuke Kumiko.
"Oh, I didn't do anything!"
Keisuke Kumiko smiled and took a step back, dodging the opponent's fist.
But he immediately took another step forward and leaned close to Kogoro Mouri's ear.
"It's really a disgrace to be an impotent and furious man. Wasn't it you who let your wife run away?"
"Yes, just like when you let the suspect run away..."
"It seems that you will never achieve anything more in your life than letting people get away."
After saying these words, Keisuke Kumiko stepped back with a smile, quickly left the circle of reporters, and walked out of the court gate.
Only Kogoro Mori was left standing there blankly.
"Uncle Kogoro, cheer up!"
Conan beside him kept shaking his body and shouting his name.
But he stood there stunned, like a painted statue, turning gray, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
The group of reporters behind him continued to take pictures of him.
He seemed to not hear it, as if the world had drifted away from him.
…
"I've noticed a habit of yours."
On the way back, Ai beside me spoke.
"You always seem to like leaning close to someone's ear and saying something that makes them feel very uncomfortable."
"Why not?"
Keisuke Kumiko raised an eyebrow. "Don't you think it's cool? That's how the villains in movies act."
"I think it's very low." Ai narrowed her eyes. "Other people act very attractively, but you feel like a clown when you do this."
"Oh, maybe you don't have a good eye for the target. I suggest you bring a camera next time, run in front of me, squat down, and shoot upwards. Don't just shoot the face, include the upper body. This way the character will be three-dimensional and look attractive."
"You are so professional, I think you should make pornographic films."
"Thank you for the compliment, but if you want to hire me, the remuneration will be at least 30 million."
"You are so shameless."
The two walked and talked as usual, sarcastically speaking to each other.
This is a daily routine. When the two are alone, Ai will always find relevant topics to talk about and say a few words to Kumiko.
She enjoyed it very much, and her boss, Kumiko, let her do it.
Ai's mental state now is much healthier than when she first came to the office a day or two ago.
For example, during the lawsuit at Kogoro's class reunion, her expression was always dull, and she said a lot of things that sounded profound, like a child pretending to be depressed.
But now, she has less of that indifferent expression.
People have become much more lively, and there are more complaints about Kumiko.
I have to say that although Kumiko can be annoying, he is not a very bad person.
But when he came to this world, the people around him changed because of his influence.
For better or for worse, he is like a butterfly.
Bringing surprise or despair.
