"Ah, it must be Ms. Etsuko who has returned."

Machida Azusa turned around and looked at the communication device on the upper middle wall on the right side of the door. She trotted over and reached out to press the communication button on the device. She leaned forward slightly and looked at the device from a closer distance. She confirmed it gracefully as a maid would do:

"Who are you?"

"It's me, Etsuko."

The simple voice of a middle-aged woman, Etsuko Furukawa, came from the player of the communication device.

She ordered calmly:

"I'm back a little late, open the door quickly."

"Yes, I'll open the door right away!"

Machida Azusa obediently pressed the button on the communication equipment to open the iron gate of the courtyard, ready to help Furukawa Etsuko open the door of the villa, and turned and walked towards another tightly closed double-opening copper door further behind and to the left of Kogoro Mori.

Everyone watched quietly as Zi stopped at the right side of the door, pushed it open, walked out, and closed the door.

After a very short time.

Machida Azusa stood in the spacious corridor outside the door, reached out and grasped the door handle on the right door panel, turned it gently, and opened the door.

Furukawa Etsuko stands in front of Azusa's left, wearing an open white button-down coat, an open dark orange button-down jacket, a blue sweater, a dark orange long skirt, lower dark blue high heels, a white pearl necklace, a gold digital watch and earrings.

Etsuko's light brown curly hair fell behind her chest. She was wearing bright lipstick. She was slightly plump, with fair skin. She looked to be about forty years old. She walked calmly to a place not far from the door. She immediately looked at the back of Kogoro's head and greeted him in a friendly manner:

"I'm sorry, Detective Maori, I was late because I was delayed at the company."

As Furukawa Etsuko was talking, she grabbed the inside of her clothes with both hands and was about to fix them, when she suddenly noticed Furukawa Koji sitting there, smoking a cigarette. She was surprised and said:

"Koji?"

During this period.

Machida Azusa followed behind Furukawa Etsuko on the left and closed the door.

At this moment.

"Hey, my sister, long time no see!"

Koji Furukawa leaned back in his chair, looking at Etsuko Furukawa casually, his right leg pressing down on his left thigh, his left elbow supporting the armrest with his palm hanging down on his left leg, his right elbow supporting the armrest, his index and middle fingers holding a cigarette with gray mist rising from it hanging over his lower abdomen.

Etsuko didn't want to see Koji, so she turned her head to the lower left and closed her eyes. She felt helpless and dissatisfied with him and wanted to chase him away.

"What are you here for?"

Without waiting for Koji Furukawa's response, Etsuko Furukawa elegantly took off her coat and handed it to Machida Azusa without even looking at it. She dropped her right hand to her right side, put her left hand on her waist, opened her eyes, and looked straight at Koji, questioning him sternly:

"Didn't mom tell you not to come here again some time ago?"

"Is it your turn to take care of me?"

Furukawa Koji straightened up slightly, looked at Furukawa Etsuko with disdain, and retorted with reason:

"This is my home after all, why can't I come?

But then again, what happened to your watch?"

Koji Furukawa tilted his head slightly and looked at the golden electronic watch on Etsuko Furukawa's left wrist with interest.

"you!"

Furukawa Etsuko asked briefly, put her left fist against her collar, and held her watch with her right hand as if someone had seen through her thoughts.

Furukawa Koji leaned back in his chair and looked at Etsuko, saying sarcastically:

"Are you wearing a cheap digital watch to pretend to be poor and fool some people?

Oh, I'm so sorry, I almost forgot!"

Furukawa Koji straightened up, pretending to be suddenly reminded of something, and sneered recklessly:

"Did you sell your valuable Swiss watch for money?

Because your film and television company is not doing well, hahahahahaha!!!"

At this point, Koji Furukawa grabbed his left leg with his left hand, held a cigarette in his right hand and hung it over his right shoulder, laughing with his head held high, his shoulders shaking, as if he was gloating.

"What qualifications do you have to laugh at me!?"

Furukawa Etsuko angrily walked to the left front of Furukawa Koji, waving her hands along with her steps, looking down at him, and said firmly in an unfriendly tone:

"Tell me about yourself. Do you want to ask your mother to help you pay off your debt again?"

"Long-winded."

Koji Furukawa looked at Etsuko Furukawa with contempt, and responded politely:

"You hired a detective to protect Mom, but you also wanted to please her. Do you really think I can't see through your evil intentions?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!!"

Etsuko Furukawa clenched her fists in anger and continued to expose Koji Furukawa's scandals mercilessly.

The same is true for Koji.

As time slowly passed, the quarrel between Etsuko Furukawa and Koji Furukawa became more and more fierce.

Maori Kogoro put his hands on his legs and looked at them dumbly, feeling that he shouldn't be here and complained:

“They were making so much noise…!”

The voice just fell.

"yes......"

Machida Azusa folded her arms around her belly, her hands covered with a white coat, and withdrew her worried gaze from Furukawa Etsuko and Furukawa Koji, lowered her head slightly and looked at the cold floor, and said helplessly:

"Ms. Etsuko's company is about to go bankrupt, and Mr. Koji is addicted to gambling and is being chased by loan sharks all day long."

"If they were in urgent need of money, why didn't they ask their mother, Ms. Katsue, to find a way to borrow some money?"

Maori Kogoro looked at Machida Azusa in confusion and added seriously:

"I remember that Ms. Katsue's lending company was very rich."

"No, actually you don't know Ms. Katsue. She would never lend money to someone who couldn't pay it back."

Machida Azusa looked at Maori Kogoro tenderly, then looked at Furukawa Koji who was still arguing with Furukawa Etsuko, and changed the subject, recalling with some confusion:

"That being said, I remember that Ms. Katsue often gave money to Mr. Koji."

Machida Azusa looked at Maori Kogoro again and said helplessly:

"But Mr. Koji went even further and asked for a lot of money, so Ms. Katsue asked him not to come again."

During this period.

Xiaolan was afraid that Etsuko Furukawa and Koji Furukawa would fight, so she looked at them worriedly.

Princess Mira looked at Etsuko and Koji awkwardly, and whispered in her heart:

"They can really make noise...!"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi stared at Furukawa Koji intently, and made a careful judgment in their hearts:

"He is so hateful, could he be the victim of this plot? We need to keep a close eye on him."

At this moment.

Furukawa Etsuko vaguely heard Machida Azusa's subtle voice, turned around and looked at her, and scolded her unhappily:

"Xiao Zi, what are you talking about with Detective Maori?"

"Ah, I'm here!"

Machida Azusa responded nervously, and looked at the ferocious Furukawa Etsuko with fear.

"Really."

Furukawa Etsuko calmed down a little, and quickly walked towards the gate far behind Maori Kogoro on the left, passing by Machida Azusa on the right, and said without even looking at her, "I can't refuse."

"Mom should be asleep now. Come with me upstairs and ask her to come down to meet Detective Maori."

"Come on, come on!"

Machida Azusa turned around and looked at Furukawa Etsuko, responded hastily, and was about to chase after her.

"Hey, Xiao Zi!"

Koji Furukawa looked at Machida Azusa with a smile.

Azusa turned back to look at Koji and spoke subconsciously:

"Eh?"

During this period.

Etsuko Furukawa stopped at the right door, reached out to grasp the door handle, turned it gently, pushed open the door, heard Furukawa Koji's frivolous voice, turned sideways and looked at him.

At this moment.

"Don't just listen to my sister, be nice to me sometimes~"

Furukawa Koji pressed his left thigh with his right leg, grabbed the armrest with his left hand, supported the armrest with his right elbow, and held a cigarette with gray mist rising from his index and middle fingers hanging on his lower abdomen. He looked at Machida Azusa frivolously and said in a bohemian manner:

"As long as I say a few nice words to mom, the debts you owe are nothing and can be written off completely~"

Machida Azusa looked at Furukawa Koji at a loss, and a look of uneasiness appeared on her innocent face.

Dongfang Haoyue retracted his fierce gaze towards Haoji, clenched his hands into fists and placed them on his legs, turned his head to look at Zi, confirmed that she was afraid of Haoji, turned his head, stared at him intently, and angrily scolded in his heart:

"Asshole, you actually threatened the cute little Azusa with debt!

I will definitely help Xiao Zi get out of the quagmire and stop her from seeing scum like you!!!"

Things have come to this point, Dongfang Haoyue gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Kogoro Mori looked at Koji Furukawa with his eyes slightly narrowed, and unconsciously clenched his fists on his legs.

Princess Xiaolan and Princess Mira frowned slightly, clasped their hands between their legs, and looked at Koji with displeasure.

Kudo Shinichi put his hands in his pockets and looked at Furukawa Koji expressionlessly. He noticed from the corner of his eye that Dongfang Haoyue's cute face was showing signs of anger. He was slightly startled, turned his head to look at her, and calmly judged in his heart:

"It seems that Haoyue has decided to help Miss Zi leave this villa and not leave any opportunity for Furukawa Koji to take advantage of her.

So...what exactly does Haoyue want to do?

Should I give a large sum of money to Miss Azusa, or...”

Kudo Shinichi hasn't finished thinking yet.

Furukawa Etsuko frowned and looked at Furukawa Koji, and taught him unhappily:

"Kouji, if you have time to talk nonsense here, you might as well go out and buy some gifts for mom!"

Without waiting for Koji Furukawa's response, Etsuko Furukawa turned to look at Machida Azusa and said elegantly:

"Come with me upstairs and ask mom to come down to meet Detective Maori, Xiaozi."
