Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

"it is good."

After the phone was hung up, Watanabe Toru heard a sound outside the door and Kogoro Mouri opened the door and walked in.

Looking at Watanabe Toru who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, Maori Kogoro said with a smile: "Toru, your uncle just called me."

Perhaps it was the sentence "Kato said you are very reliable" that really pleased Kogoro Mouri, and now the way he looked at Toru Watanabe was even more friendly than usual.

"Did you talk about buying the shop?" Watanabe Toru fished out the business card Takauchihashi had given him from his pocket. "Uncle, this is the business card of the owner of that bakery. His phone number is on it."

Maori Kogoro took the business card, glanced at it, and asked curiously, "Xiaotetsu, how did you get the owner of this store to sell it?"

He has lived in Beika Town for decades, but he is not as well-informed as a little kid.

Watanabe Toru explained, "Aunt Yoshida worked at that bakery. When I went to give her an umbrella, I heard the boss say that he was selling the shop. My uncle wanted to buy a shop here, so I asked the boss for his business card."

"So that's how it is." Maori Kogoro suddenly realized: "Your uncle asked me to buy a store under my name temporarily. What do you think?"

After all, it's someone else's thing. Although Watanabe Toru is young, we still have to ask for his opinion.

Watanabe Toru said: "Just listen to your uncle."

Maori Kogoro nodded and said, "Then I will go to that store tomorrow and talk to the boss about the specific situation. Xiaotuo, you can come directly after school."

"it is good."

If it weren't for the problem with his identity, Watanabe Toru wouldn't have sought out Maori Kogoro. However, since he had planted the puppet poison in his body, there was nothing to worry about.

044. Mrs. Yoshida's Birthday

The next day, the rain stopped.

After school, Toru Watanabe went straight to Truffle-bakery.

Kogoro Mouri arrived at the store earlier than him and was sitting face to face with Takauchi Hashi, talking. A cup of fragrant coffee was placed in front of them, the hot steam filled the air, and a rich aroma emanated.

Seeing Watanabe Toru coming in, Mrs. Yoshida stepped forward and said, "Toru, you're here."

"Aunt Yoshida." Watanabe Toru greeted Mrs. Yoshida, then walked over to sit next to Maori Kogoro and asked, "How did the talk go?"

Maori Kogoro took a sip of coffee and said, "Mr. Takauchi means 50 million yen, including all equipment and materials. What do you think?"

Fifty million…

Watanabe Toru pondered for a second and nodded. This price was about the same as what he had in mind.

Takauchihashi didn't know about the relationship between Watanabe Toru and Maori Kogoro. Seeing how close the two were, he said with a smile, "Little friend, if your uncle bought my shop, you could eat delicious bread every day."

"Um... Mr. Takane, I think you misunderstood." Maori Kogoro put down his coffee cup and explained, "It's this kid's uncle who wants to buy this store. I'm just doing it for him."

Although Kogoro Mouri is very concerned about his reputation, he is still very principled in some matters. He will not take responsibility for things that are not his.

"Huh? Is that so?" Takanechi Hashi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Watanabe Toru was the representative of the real culprit.

Mrs. Yoshida was also surprised: "So, Xiao Che will be my boss from now on?"

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "Yes, Aunt Yoshida, you will be the manager of this store from now on."

Mrs. Yoshida smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiao Che, but my ability is limited and I can't be the store manager. As long as you can continue to work here, I will be very satisfied."

"No way... Besides, I don't trust anyone else, and it's impossible for Uncle Maori to stay in the store forever." Watanabe Toru said, "The position of store manager must belong to Auntie."

"The kid is right, Ms. Yoshida. With your abilities, you're more than qualified to be a store manager." Knowing that Toru Watanabe was interested in buying the store, Takanehashi naturally sided with him. "From now on, I'll leave this store in your hands."

"Mr. Takauchi..." Mrs. Yoshida was not a child of seven or eight years old. How could she not hear that Takauchi Hashi was following what Watanabe Toru said? She had only been working in this bakery for a week and had seen Takauchi Hashi only three times including today. What ability did he have? He just spoke without thinking.

"Since you have no objection, Xiaotetsu, I'll contact your uncle when I get back." Maori Kogoro said, "Mr. Takauchi, please prepare all the documents and contracts within the next two days."

"No problem." Gao Neiqiao agreed readily.

You have a new email

The system suddenly flashed at this moment.

……Um?

Watanabe Toru was stunned for a moment, then pretended to listen to the conversation between Mori Kogoro and Takauchi Hashi, and opened the system panel.

〖Tip: Special rewards are only triggered once, players can choose the gift package by themselves〗

June 2nd is Mrs. Yoshida’s 31st birthday?

Watanabe Toru secretly glanced at the face that was as delicate as a 20-year-old girl, and wondered if there was a bug in the system.

However, this event can be said to be the most conscientious ever, and the basic activity rewards can almost certainly be obtained.

Special reward 1: It is not too difficult to hug Mrs. Yoshida.

If you kiss Mrs. Yoshida and try hard, there is still a chance.

"Toru, let's go." When Watanabe Toru was daydreaming, the voice of Kogoro Mori pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Okay." Watanabe Toru responded and said goodbye to Mrs. Yoshida: "Aunt Yoshida, I'll be leaving first."

"Be careful on the road." Mrs. Yoshida rubbed Watanabe Toru's head out of habit: "Come to my aunt's house when you have time."

"Okay, Auntie." Toru Watanabe nodded and left the bakery with Kogoro Mouri.

Shortly after returning, Toru Watanabe received a call from Kogoro Mori. The content of the call was basically consistent with what he knew, and there was no deception about the price of acquiring the store. Watanabe was very satisfied with this.

He told Kogoro Mori that he would transfer the funds to him tomorrow, and that as long as there was nothing wrong with the store, he would follow Watanabe Toru's arrangements.

Kogoro Mori naturally had no objection. After hearing that he would receive 20 yen in hard work pay, he even patted his chest and promised that he would help Watanabe Toru take care of the store.

PS: Dear readers, I would like to ask for free flowers and collections, and wish you good fortune.

045. Ran's Karate Competition

The next day, under the manipulation of Toru Watanabe, 50 million yen for the store acquisition and 200,000 yen in remuneration were transferred to the account under the name of Kogoro Mori.

After getting the money, Kogoro Mouri acted very quickly. With the cooperation of Takauchi Hashi, he completed all the handover procedures within two days and became the nominal owner of the "truffle-bakery". In addition, Mrs. Yoshida also became the store manager at the suggestion and insistence of Toru Watanabe.

……

Saturday, April 5.

White clouds meandered, embedded in the azure sky, and a warm breeze blew gently, indicating a beautiful day.

The National High School Karate Kanto Competition officially started today.

Outside the Tokyo Gymnasium, Sonoko, wearing a Teitan High School uniform, waved: "Uncle Mori, Toru, here..."

"Sonoko-sister." Watanabe Toru came forward and greeted, "Where's Ran-sister?"

"Ran has gone to change her clothes." Sonoko said, "Che-chan, you must cheer for Ran loudly later."

"Yes, I will." Watanabe Toru nodded.

"Ran will definitely win easily this year." Maori Kogoro said confidently: "After all, his father is also very powerful..."

"Heh." A cold laugh was heard, and Hibiki Eri, who had come to cheer for Xiaolan, walked over: "I don't remember someone ever winning a place in the competition."

"That's because I'm not interested in the championship," Kogoro Maori argued.

He was also helpless. He clearly had the ability to rival a champion, but for some reason he always got stage fright during competitions, leading to defeat.

"Huh, I thought you forgot that Xiaolan had a competition today."

"I'm not as irresponsible as some people. Even if something important happened, I would still come to cheer my daughter on."

After saying this, Kisaki Eri stopped paying attention to Maori Kogoro, bent down and rubbed Watanabe Toru's head, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Toru, how have you been recently?"

"Yeah." Watanabe Toru nodded: "Aunt Fei, is that case solved?"

"Well, after investigation, it was found that Mr. Matsushima was indeed framed. The murderer of Mr. Kawaguchi was an employee in the company who had an argument with Mr. Kawaguchi. This case was solved thanks to Xiao Tetsu's reminder."

Watanabe Toru scratched his head and said, "I didn't do anything."

Kogoro Mouri listened to the conversation between the two with his ears perked up, feeling puzzled. Why did it seem like Kotetsu had helped Eri Kisaki in some way?

I'll have to ask about it when I get back.

Several people walked into the hall together. In the audience, Kudo Shinichi saw Maori Kogoro and his group coming over and stood up to greet them: "Uncle, you are here."

Kogoro Maori glanced at him, snorted, and ignored him.

He has no good feelings towards Kudo Shinichi. As a detective himself, Kudo Shinichi often steals the spotlight and appears on newspaper headlines, causing his own firm to be ignored.

What’s even more infuriating is that his own daughter is very close to him.

Kudo Shinichi was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Kisaki Eri smiled and said to him: "Long time no see, Shinichi, thank you for coming to cheer for Xiaolan."

"Yes, I should." Kudo Shinichi scratched his head. He was a little restrained facing Kisaki Eri.

At nine o'clock in the morning, after the opening ceremony, the Kanto Karate Competition officially began.

Xiaolan, wearing a white karate uniform, showed her terrifying strength in the arena, overcoming all obstacles and defeating all opponents.

"Stop! Blue team, the upper kick scores a point."

"Blue side wins!"

With the referee's announcement, Xiaolan defeated her opponent in the semi-finals and successfully advanced to the finals.

"That's amazing, Xiaolan is really amazing."

In the audience, Sonoko excitedly hugged Watanabe Toru in her arms and shouted loudly: "Next is the final, come on, Xiaolan."

Maori Kogoro said calmly: "I knew this would be the result. Xiaolan will win the final easily."

Toru Watanabe looked at the other side of the field where the winner had also been decided. The one who entered the finals was Wada Haruna from Beido High School.

There was a fifteen-minute break before the finals began. Kudo Shinichi suddenly stood up and said, "Excuse me, I have to answer a phone call."

"Come back quickly, the game is about to start." Sonoko reminded.

"Got it, I'll be right back."

Toru Watanabe turned his head and looked at Kudo Shinichi's back, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

A man who only cares about the case is really bad.

Fifteen minutes later, the final began.

As long as Xiaolan defeats Wada Haruna, she will win the championship.

The match was extremely tense. Ran, who had been winning easily since the preliminaries, finally felt the pressure when facing Wada Haruna.

046. Exploding in Anger

"stop!"

"Red side, mid-section kick, effective technical attack!"

"What's going on? What is Xiaolan doing?" Seeing Xiaolan being beaten back by her opponent, Sonoko was extremely anxious. She no longer cared about her ladylike image and shouted to the audience: "Xiaolan, calm down and concentrate."

Kogoro Mouri was no longer as calm as before, his hands clenched into fists. Eri Kisaki pursed her lips, her eyes unable to hide her worry and nervousness.

Among the few people, only Watanabe Toru was the calmest. Although Xiaolan was at a disadvantage at the moment, after learning that Kudo Shinichi had to leave early to investigate a case, she would turn her anger into strength. In a rage, Xiaolan would be invincible.

On the field, Xiaolan straightened her uniform and calmed herself down.

The opponent was even more powerful than she had imagined, worthy of being the ace of the Karate Club of Beido High School.

Calm down, must be calm.

Xiaolan took a deep breath, and then saw a figure running over, standing at the edge of the field, waving at her.

Shinichi?

Xiaolan was stunned. Was he coming over to cheer her up? No, what was this gesture?
