Lu Ming took a sip of the hot tea in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said to Kogoro and Inspector Megure:"I've taken note of Mr. Maori and Inspector Megure's kind reminder. Well, don't worry. During this period of time when the murderer has not been caught, I will be more careful." He said this in order to reassure Kogoro and Inspector Megure. After all, it was their good intentions, so it would be hard to pretend that they didn't care.

"In that case, we will take our leave first. Teacher Lu Ming, please be careful and call us anytime if there is any problem."

The purpose of the few people coming to Lu Ming was to tell him about this matter and let him be more careful. Now that Lu Ming knew about the matter, they had other important things to deal with and could not stay for long. They stood up and said goodbye to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming understood the urgency of the case and that many people were involved in the case. He did not try to persuade them to stay. He stood up from the sofa and prepared to see the three people off.

"Xiaolan, get up and go quickly." Xiaowulang looked at Xiaolan who was still sitting on the sofa and urged her.

Xiaolan turned her face away, as if she was not willing to face Xiaowulang, and said softly:"I still have something to say to Teacher Lu Ming, Dad, you two go back first."

Xiaowulang seemed to understand what Xiaolan was thinking. He looked at his daughter with complicated eyes, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it, turned his back to Xiaolan and said:"Now is a critical moment, you must pay attention to safety when you go back"

"Yes, I will be careful."

After sending Kogoro and Inspector Megure away, Lu Ming sat down on the sofa again, looked at Xiaolan who was in a state of detachment, smiled and said:"Okay, classmate Maori, do you have anything to say to the teacher?"

Xiaolan returned to normal, clasped her hands tightly on her knees, and said:"Teacher Lu Ming, I am really sorry for letting you get involved in this case."

Lu Ming smiled and waved his hands:"This kind of thing can only be regarded as an accident, you can't blame your father, the most important thing now is to find the murderer quickly. I believe in Mr. Maori's ability, after all, he is a famous detective, I believe the danger will be resolved soon."

"Teacher, do you trust my father so much?"

"Of course, your father is a famous detective known throughout Japan."

Xiaolan sighed and said faintly:"But I don't know how to face my father now."

That sad look, everyone who saw it would pity her.

Lu Ming knew that Xiaolan was referring to the incident ten years ago when Kogoro shot and hit Kisaki Eri. It was no wonder that Xiaolan had a resistance to Kogoro. In her heart, she probably thought that it was because of this incident that her mother Kisaki Eri left Kogoro.

"Even if I have good marksmanship, what does it matter? My mother is in the hands of the criminals. If he hits her,……"

Xiaolan didn't dare to continue, but from the anger and incomprehension between her brows, Lu Ming could see that Xiaolan did have a grudge against Kogoro.

""Xiao Lan." Lu Ming sighed in his heart. Although he said he would not take care of the matter, since the target was his student, Lu Ming still tried to comfort her:"No one can be sure what your father's purpose was in doing this back then, but you have to understand one thing, the fact is not necessarily the truth."

""Eh?" Xiaolan was stunned and looked at Lu Ming in confusion:"Teacher Lu Ming means that my father had no choice back then?"

"I can't give you a definite answer to this." Lu Ming shook his head:"But you can ask your father. I think as long as you ask, Mr. Mao Li will definitely give you the most correct answer."

Xiao Lan lowered her head in silence, as if she was thinking about something. After a long time, she raised her head, looked at Lu Ming and asked:"Teacher Lu Ming, if one day your wife is kidnapped by gangsters and you have a gun in your hand, will you shoot the gangsters?"

Lu Ming smiled:"Until that time, no one can make the final decision, but there is one thing you have to remember, Xiaolan, no one will think of hurting the person they care about most."

These words made Xiaolan feel like a revelation, as if she understood something, and the most natural smile appeared on her face again, and she said:"I understand, teacher, I will ask my father about the situation at that time. Maybe I really misunderstood him."

"Just figure it out." Lu Ming said with a smile:"Sometimes, if you communicate more, you can actually find a lot of things you missed. One-sided words will always lead to misunderstandings."

""Yeah." Xiaolan nodded. Now, she was eager to find her father and ask about the situation back then, so she said goodbye to Lu Ming:"It's almost time, so I'll take my leave first, Mr. Lu Ming."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Lu Ming reminded:"Although there is no number in your name, as Mr. Mao Li's daughter, you still need to pay attention to safety."
