After spending some time with him, Conan gradually realized how bizarre the past experiences of his mysterious friend, Gen Sugawa, were. No matter how ridiculous the case was, as long as Gen Sugawa was by his side, all the reasons for the crime would soon be revealed.
For example, in the last cheating case, he saw at a glance that the murderer was the innocent-looking lady whom Conan thought was impossible, and gave a reason, the love-hate relationship of the rotten street.
When asked why, he just said: I've experienced it.
Conan:?
Therefore, when he saw the subtle expression on Sugawa Gen's face in the corridor, he instantly realized that Sugawa Gen knew something.
However, combined with the son mentioned by Mr. Seto before, Conan also had a more or less melodramatic guess.
So as soon as they returned to the beach, Conan couldn't wait to pull Sugawa Gen under the parasol, full of curiosity, "What do you know? Is it what I thought?"
Sugawa Gen nodded affirmatively, "Mr. Seto cheated on his wife and had a son outside, and Mrs. Seto found out. But Mr. Seto didn't know that Mrs. Seto found out, and now Mrs. Seto is planning to divorce Mr. Seto."
It sounded like a tongue twister, but Conan understood.
"As expected, Conan sighed, "Reality is just a bloody drama."
That's true, but reality is often more ridiculous and more bloody than a soap opera. When they met Miss Seto and her family again, the whole thing went in an unpredictable direction and there was no turning back.
In the evening, the last bit of light was swallowed up by the clouds. The two drunken patriarchs woke up slowly, and sighed dizzily on the table. Miss Aoi's boyfriend had gone somewhere, leaving her alone with red eyes in the corner. Mrs. Seto was probably still discussing divorce with Eri Kisaki, and had not come back for a long time.
When Sugawa Gen and the others entered the room, the room was completely silent. The only smell in the air was the strong smell of alcohol and complex spices. The only three people in the room were listless and the atmosphere was extremely low.
Conan tugged at Sugawa Gen and winked at him: What's going on?
Sugawa Gen: How should I know?
"You guys are back," Seto Aion wiped her eyes, smiled uncomfortably and stood up. "It's very lively outside, right? You must be tired after playing for so long. I just ordered the dishes, let's have dinner directly."
Xiaolan agreed and asked casually, "Where are Mrs. Seto and Mr. Watanabe?"
"My mother went out to discuss work and hasn't come back yet," Seto Aion raised her lips with difficulty, "Watanabe's parents are here too, he went back to accompany them."
Seto Aion doesn't know yet that her mother wants a divorce.
When Xiaolan realized this, she felt a little sad. She stepped forward to change the subject and slowly rescued Seto Aion from the depressed atmosphere.
In one room, two middle-aged men who were drunk, two girls who were talking and laughing, and an old and a young man who were drinking water in silence, occupied three corners of the room respectively, without disturbing each other, forming their own barrier, but extremely harmonious.
However, this harmony was completely shattered when Mrs. Seto came in with a cold face. She slammed the door, ignored her husband's angry roar, walked straight to Seto Aion, and slapped her in the face in front of the surprised eyes of everyone in the room.
Seto Aion covered her blushing face and looked at her in disbelief: "Mom?"
Mr. Seto slammed the glass on the table, and the glass shattered into pieces. He stepped over the broken glass and walked towards Mrs. Seto angrily, "You crazy woman, why did you hit the child?"
The remaining drunkenness of Maori Kogoro was completely scared away. He quickly stood up and grabbed Mr. Seto who was about to attack him, "Mr. Seto, calm down!"
Xiaolan also grabbed Seto Aion and pulled her behind her to stop Mrs. Seto from raising her hand again.
Such a development was completely beyond Sugawa Gen's expectations. He and Conan looked at each other in confusion, and silently stood between Mrs. Seto and Mr. Seto to avoid a conflict between the two.
Mrs. Seto sneered and looked at Mr. Seto gloomily, "Why did I hit her? You should know it best in your heart, right?"
"What are you talking about, you crazy woman?" Mr. Seto frowned and angrily shouted, "I should know what I am talking about. Don't start talking nonsense right away!"
"Don't pretend. Your good son is in love with your daughter and has even told the parents about it. Don't you know?"
Mrs. Seto yelled, having completely lost her gentle and magnanimous demeanor, and spoke sarcastically.
How does she know?
Mr. Seto's pupils shrank sharply and he panicked for a moment, but when he saw his daughter's eyes full of tears, he calmed down and said stubbornly, "What nonsense are you talking about! There is no such thing as a son!"
"Stop pretending. It's already happened now. There's no point in pretending anymore." Mrs. Seto was obviously furious. She took a big step forward and wanted to attack. She was so strong that she almost pushed Conan and Sugawa Gen down.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Seto Aion looked dazed and tested cautiously.
Unfortunately, her mother, who was usually so gentle and doting on her, just glanced at her indifferently, and said without a trace of emotion in her tone, "Get out."
"mother.."
"Get out!" Mrs. Seto interrupted her, glanced at her tears-stained face, paused, and turned back with slightly red eyes.
Seto Aion froze. She looked at her mother's completely unfamiliar and indifferent profile. Her whole body turned cold and her hands and feet instantly lost strength. She walked out of the room with the help of Xiaolan.
She didn't know what happened today. Her boyfriend, whom she had been in love with for a long time, suddenly broke up with her, and her loving parents suddenly had a conflict, which seemed to be related to her boyfriend.
Boyfriend, son, daughter...
Seto Aion's mind was blank. She looked at the dark night sky, reluctant to accept the fact that had been made obvious - Watanabe Yamato was her father's son. In fact, he was the son her father had always been worried about.
After much persuasion from Maori Kogoro, the Seto couple finally agreed to sit down and talk. However, neither of them was willing to speak first, and the silence in the room was suffocating.
Conan and Sugawa Gen hid in a corner of the room, helpless in the face of this situation. Conan poked Sugawa Gen stiffly, gritted his teeth, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "What's the situation now?"
Qichuan Yuan sat upright and responded in a low voice, "A husband and wife confrontation."
This is a path that Gen Sugawa never imagined. Miss Seto's boyfriend turns out to be Mr. Seto's extramarital son. This is really fate.
Mrs. Seto broke the silence, "Divorce, Aoi will be mine."
"Don't even think about it!" Mr. Seto rejected it. "Are you getting a divorce because you want to be laughed at?"
"You cheated on your wife and had a child outside of marriage, so you won't be laughed at by others?"
She responded calmly, "You actually let that illegitimate child appear in front of Aoi Yin openly. This marriage must be divorced."
"What do you want to do with Aoi Yin after the divorce? She's not even an adult yet!"
Mrs. Seto sneered, "You also know that she is not yet an adult. Your beastly son actually attacked an underage high school student. He is worthy of being your son. He has the same dirty and hateful blood as you."
"Divorce. Aoi can live well without her father."
"Asshole! What are you talking about!"
"Wait a minute! Calm down, both of you!" Maori Kogoro was embarrassed, and hurriedly stopped the couple who were about to start fighting again, "Talk it out!"
However, he had roughly understood the main point of the conflict during the verbal exchange between the two. He said awkwardly, "Well, let's sit down and sort it out."
He coughed and became serious, and he really looked serious. "Mrs. Seto, please explain why you attacked your daughter."
Mrs. Seto was silent and did not answer for a long time.
"Mrs. Seto herself probably doesn't know," said Sugawa Gen suddenly, in a calm tone, "Is this anger towards her daughter, her husband, or Mr. Watanabe?"
He pointed out indifferently, "It's just that the three things blended together. When he saw his daughter when he entered the house, he directly used her as an outlet, right?"
Maori Kogoro said angrily, "What are you saying, little brat?"
However, Mrs. Seto did not refute him. He turned around and awkwardly changed the subject, "Then how did Mrs. Seto know about Mr. Seto's affair?"
Conan pretended to be curious and asked, "Ah! I know, has Mrs. Seto ever met Mr. Seto with his extramarital girlfriend and son before?"
"Shut up, kid!" Maori Kogoro looked at Mrs. Seto who was still silent, and said in his heart, "What else can Mr. Seto say?"
"I have nothing to say," Mr. Seto said coldly, "I do have an extramarital lover and a son."
The three people outside the situation gasped. They actually admitted it like that!
Mrs. Seto still looked like a puppet without a soul. She asked calmly, "So you don't feel any guilt at all? You don't feel any shame at all?"
She slammed the table. "Is cheating on your wife something you're proud of? Is having your illegitimate child born in the same year as your eldest daughter something you're proud of?"
She stopped listening to Mr. Seto's words, picked up her bag and walked out with her phone, "I've already made an appointment with a lawyer, and I'll be downstairs signing the contract in thirty minutes."
After she finished speaking, she walked out of the room without looking back, and the door slammed shut, leaving the few people in the room in silence.
"I'm so sorry," Mr. Seto sighed, as if he had aged ten years in an instant. He pulled the corners of his mouth forcefully, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. I'm sorry to leave you."
After saying that, he also left the room and the door closed quietly behind him.
"Oh my god, what a sin!" Maori Kogoro shook his head and sighed, "Is it actually off the rails from the very beginning?"
He picked up his phone, squinted at the two people standing on the side, and said in a bad tone, "Let's go, you two little brats who love to join in the fun."
The three of them walked vertically, each with their own thoughts, downstairs, and bumped into Kisaki Eri who was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed.
She looked over as if she had sensed something, and when her eyes met someone's, she narrowed her eyes, revealing a very unhappy aura.
"A certain great detective is also on vacation."
Kisaki Eri looked around, frowned, and hurried in front of Maori Kogoro to ask again: "Are you two the only ones here? Where are the two children?"
Kogoro Mouri stopped himself from exploding, turned around in confusion, and met eyes with another equally confused kid - weren't there three people? How did it become two?
