Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

It’s not that he had a change of heart, but the bomb was placed at Teitan High School, and at this moment, Xiaolan and Sonoko were taking a mock exam in the school.

Otherwise, even if the entire school was blown up, would it have anything to do with him?

In the afternoon, Xiaolan returned home. Maori Kogoro asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were going to take an exam? Why are you back so early?"

Xiaolan was also puzzled: "The school suddenly canceled the exam, and then a lot of police came. It seems that something happened."

Maori Kogoro looked nonchalant: "What happened in the school? Is someone going to blow up the school?"

I have to say that although Kogoro Mouri is confused, his intuition is sometimes very accurate.

Xiaolan shook her head: "I don't know, but Dad, you can ask Officer Megure, he must know."

"I won't ask." Maori Kogoro stretched lazily, showing no interest in this. "This is a police matter, so let's not get involved."

……

Go to the toilet at night.

After dinner and a bath, Watanabe Toru returned to his room. When (Qian Wang Zhao) was about to send a text message to check on Sonoko, the system suddenly flashed.

[Temporary event: On May 22nd, Akai Mary will appear in room 502 of the Haido Hotel]

[Event Content: Meet Akai Mary as Macallan]

[Event time: before May 23]

[Activity Reward: Master - Chinese Medicine Pulse Diagnosis, 1 points]

Akai Marie?

When he saw this name, Watanabe Toru was slightly stunned, and related clues gradually emerged in his mind.

I remember that she seemed to be an MI6 agent, Shuichi Akai's mother, and the aunt of Haibara and Miyano Akemi. Like myself, she also turned into a child after taking APTX-6869, but she looked like a junior high school student.

Watanabe Toru pondered for a moment and decided to go meet this "sister from outside the realm".

393. The old woman turned out to be her

5 month 21 day.

At night, Maori's house.

Watanabe Toru and the other two sat around a low table, eating and listening to Xiaolan talk about what happened today.

"We have a transfer student in our class today. At first, everyone thought she was a boy, but when she started talking and introducing herself, we realized she was actually a girl."

"Did she dress like a boy on purpose?" Maori Kogoro asked. "It seems young people nowadays like to play with gender contrast."

"No," Xiaolan explained, "She just looks like a boy, and she has short hair, so people mistake her for someone else. Besides, she's a very active classmate. We used to come back together after class."

"Oh? Does she live around here too?"

Xiaolan shook her head: "I heard that she had been living abroad before and just returned to China recently, so she is staying in a hotel for the time being."

"Is that so?" Kogoro Mouri gradually lost interest.

Watanabe Toru ate his meal in silence. It was not difficult to hear from Xiaolan's words that this tomboy was Sera Masumi, and tomorrow was the 22nd. According to the information provided by the system, Sera Masumi's mother, Akai Mary, would appear at the Haido Hotel.

　The mission was simple: a simple meeting, but it also involved unknown risks. For example, did Akai Mary recognize him? If so, would they engage in a fight?

However, after returning to his adult form, it would be more than enough for him to deal with a junior high school student.

"Xiao Che, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Watanabe Toru hadn't spoken a word tonight, Xiaolan asked curiously, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Watanabe Toru came back to his senses and shook his head, saying, "I was just wondering what Xiaolan's new classmate looks like."

Xiaolan smiled and said, "In that case, I'll invite her to my house to play this weekend."

"it is good."

……

The next day.

Toru Watanabe asked for leave in the name of Kogoro Mori.

Afterwards, he took the antidote for APTX-4869 and came to the address given to him by the system, Room 502 of Beihu Hotel.

Instead of knocking, he used his lock picking skills to successfully open the door and walked into the room.

The room was empty and exceptionally quiet.

Watanabe Toru looked around and didn't see Akai Mary, but the system couldn't lie. The only possibility was that the noise he made when he entered the room attracted her attention and she hid.

Just as Toru Watanabe was thinking about how to force Akai Mary to show up, he felt a chill behind him. Watanabe Toru instinctively dodged to the side, and with a bang, a vase broke next to him.

Watanabe Toru turned his head and saw a teenage girl looking at him warily.

"I found you." Watanabe Toru smiled.

"You... who are you?" Akai Mary calmly looked at Watanabe Toru who was walking towards her step by step. When he got closer, her pupils suddenly shrank and she exclaimed, "It's you!!"

? ?

Watanabe Toru stopped and looked at himself with a question mark. From what Akai Mary said, it seemed that she knew him?

His brain circuits worked quickly, and he changed his strategy. He said in a deep voice: "It's me. I didn't expect that we would meet in this way, Akai Mary."

Although I haven't figured out the doubts in my heart yet, taking the initiative at this time seems to be a more appropriate choice.

Sure enough, Akai Mari pursed her lips, a complicated look in her eyes, and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect you to be still alive. When you leaked the organization's whereabouts to me and were discovered by Gin, I thought they had killed you."

I let you go?

Watanabe Toru looked confused, and then a memory from the past suddenly emerged in his mind.

He remembered a question that Vermouth once asked him: Did you let that old woman go?

At first, I didn’t know who the old woman that Vermouth was talking about was, but now it seems that this person should be the Akai Mary in front of me.

If she were to return to her adult identity, her age should indeed be older than herself. It is not without problem that Vermouth called her an "old woman".

However, why did the former Macallan let Akai Mary go? It was because of this action that he was executed by the organization and his body was taken over by himself.

The answer is obviously obvious. Macallan used to like Akai Mary.

All the mysteries were cleared up, and Watanabe Toru breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still had to play the whole show. He frowned and asked, "Who are you? How do you know Gin?"

Only then did Akai Mary realize that she had said something she shouldn't have said in an inappropriate capacity. If she hadn't been forced to drink that poison, she would still be an adult, and it wouldn't matter how she talked to Macallan at this time. But how could a child who looked like a junior high school student say the name Gin?

Facing Toru Watanabe's fierce gaze, Mary Akai knew that she would not be able to convince McCarren unless she gave a reasonable explanation. To the people in the organization, killing a junior high school student was no different from killing an adult.

She took a deep breath and prepared to tell the truth.

"It's me, Akai Mari."

"Akai Mari?" Watanabe Toru sneered, "When did Akai Mari become a child?"

Akai Mary's face was calm: "Then how do you think I knew the name Akai Mary? How did I know about the organization and Gin?"

Watanabe Toru seemed to be stumped by the question, frowned, and said, "But how did you become like this?"

Akai Mary's face was solemn: "I was fed a poison by Vermouth, and then my body became like this. I jumped into the river and was lucky enough to save my life."

Seeing that Watanabe Toru still had a skeptical expression, Akai Mary continued, "You can ask Vermouth to confirm this, if she is willing to tell you the truth."

Watanabe Toru pondered for a moment: "So, what is your purpose in coming to Wano Country?"

"I want to investigate something about my husband's death." Mary Akai answered honestly.

Watanabe Toru nodded, but couldn't help but sneered: "In your current state, it's very dangerous for you to come here, and it will be even more difficult to investigate the case."

"But we have to try, don't we?" Akai Mary said calmly, "Otherwise, how can we be worthy of those who sacrificed before?"

394. Memory Puzzle

Watanabe Toru nodded: "I think so. After all, people like you have long put life and death aside."

Akai Mary remained noncommittal and asked, "What about you? When you let me go, did the organization let you go?"

Watanabe Toru snorted, "When have you ever seen the organization be so merciful? If I let you go, it would be like betraying the organization. It's just that I was lucky enough to escape from Gin's hands."

Mary Akai pursed her lips. She knew that Toru Watanabe liked her. If it weren't for her, how could he have ended up in this situation.

"I'm sorry." She whispered, "If it weren't for me..."

"It was my own choice," Watanabe Toru interrupted casually, "so, you don't have to apologize."

Akai Mary was silent.

After a while, I suddenly remembered something important: "By the way, why are you here?"

Sure enough, this issue was brought up again. After knowing the relationship between Akai Mari and the original body, he thought of a countermeasure. He looked at Akai Mari affectionately and said softly: "As long as it is your news, I have a way to get it. ~"

Sure enough, facing Watanabe Toru's affectionate confession, Akai Mary suddenly panicked. She took a deep breath and said, "McCallum, you know I have a husband. There is no possibility between us."

"But your husband is dead."

"No, he just disappeared." Akai Mary said loudly: "I will find him. This is also the reason why I came to Wano Country."

Seeing Watanabe Toru's silence, Akai Mary softened her tone again: "McCarlan, we can actually be good friends. Since you have already left the organization, have you ever thought about joining us?"

Wow, he's actually trying to persuade himself.

Watanabe Toru was a bit amused and said, "Join you? Have you forgotten how many lives I have on my hands? Among them, there might be one of your colleagues."

Akai Mary pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "As long as you are willing, I will help you."

"Forget it." Watanabe Toru waved his hand. "People like me are better off living in the dark. Besides, I won't trust you, M16."

Akai Mary was silent.

Having completed his mission, Watanabe Toru was not going to stay any longer, so he said, "I will go find Vermouth and help you find the antidote."

"Can you contact Vermouth?" Akai Mary's eyes suddenly lit up.

Watanabe Toru understood her thoughts and said directly: "I can't betray Vermouth. Similarly, I won't tell Vermouth that you are here. Let's pretend we haven't met today."

Akai Mary sighed with some regret, but knowing Watanabe Toru's character, she nodded and said, "Thank you."

Watanabe Toru looked at her deeply and said jokingly, "I still won't give up on you. If I, Macallan, want a woman, I will definitely get her."

Akai Mary held her forehead helplessly, knowing that she couldn't convince this man, so she stopped trying.

"Take care of yourself. I hope we can all live well."

Watanabe Toru nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, do you want to exchange numbers? If you need any help, you can come to me."

Akai Mary nodded: "Okay."

After the two exchanged numbers, Watanabe Toru did not stay any longer. He said goodbye to Akai Mary and left the hotel.

Watanabe Toru gained a lot from this meeting with Akai Mary. He has lost a large part of his memory since his rebirth. Now he has found a small part of it with the help of Akai Mary. As for the rest, he still has to wait for the right time.

He also didn't plan to tell Vermouth about Akai Mari. There was an irreconcilable conflict between the two. As long as Vermouth knew that Akai Mari was in Wano Country, it would only be a matter of time to find her. APTX-4869 would make people smaller, which was no secret to Vermouth.

……

Before we knew it, it was already the end of May and the weather was gradually becoming as hot as summer.

Sunday.

Guardrails were set up on the streets of Beika Town, and people were crowded on the roadside, cheering for the parade team as they moved forward in vehicles.

Occasionally someone would set off a firecracker, and colorful pieces of paper would explode in the air and scatter all over the ground.

Yuan Tai looked at the late Watanabe Toru and complained, "Toru, you're too late. You almost missed the parade."

0 ·········Request flowers· ···

Watanabe Toru apologized insincerely: "Sorry, sorry, I forgot my phone when I left, so I turned back. By the way, which group is marching today?"

Mitsuhiko showed an expression of disbelief: "Xiao Che, don't you know?"

"Eh?"

Watanabe Toru was stunned. Why should he know?

Huibara explained, "It's the Spirit Team. Although they've made it to the semifinals every year, they've never won the championship. They finally managed to dominate the National Football League this year, and even their final win was filled with drama."
