Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Mao Li pushed open the door and saw Shijing Lihua standing in the room, her face still a little flustered by the recent incident.

"Mr. Maori, what's going on down there?"

Shii Lihua threw herself into Maori's arms and looked up at him nervously.

Xiaolan crossed her arms in jealousy, and Maori patted Shii Lihua gently, "There is a case down there, but I will solve it soon."

"Then I..."

Shijing Lihua was a little worried, and Mao Li said: "Don't worry, I will leave you a reliable helper."

"orchid."

Mao Li said gently, "You stay with Miss Shijing first and protect her. She needs a reliable caretaker now."

"Eh? Me?"

Xiaolan pointed at herself unexpectedly, and Maori nodded, "Yes, it's you."

"Xiaolan?"

Sijing Lihua looked at Xiaolan in surprise, and was somewhat envious of her gentle face that expressed peace and prosperity, and her beautiful figure that was far better than her own.

Is this Mr. Maori's daughter?

So beautiful...

"Don't worry, Lan is very capable, you can go take a bath with her without worry. The most important thing now is to relax yourself and stay alert."

Maori touched Shioi Rika's head soothingly. When Shioi Rika heard Maori's words, she looked at him gratefully and nodded.

The arrogance on her face softened a little at this moment, and she expressed her sincere gratitude for Xiaolan's coming.

"Please protect me, Miss Xiaolan."

Although Shii Reika's voice was cold, the gratitude in it was sincere.

Maori whispered to Xiaolan, "Try to stay alert and attack anyone who approaches. The criminal killed Nikaidou just to attract attention. The real target must be Miss Shijing, who you are supposed to protect now."

"But Dad...I've never done this..."

Xiaolan was a little nervous, Maori scratched Xiaolan's nose lovingly, "Don't worry, you are very strong, and no one here can be your opponent except me."

"When we get back this time, I'll help you train again, and you'll become even more powerful!"

"Really? Don't lie!"

Xiaolan's eyes lit up, and she said shyly in Maori's ear: "Dad... In addition to training, I also want some other rewards..."

"Okay, whatever you say, Daddy can agree to any of your requests!"

Maori waved his hands proudly.

What more could a little girl ask for?

Mao Li just doesn't believe that he can't solve it himself.

Even if it can't be solved, don't we still have Tongzi?

Hearing this, Xiaolan was relieved. She nodded vigorously and said, "I will try my best!"

……

After watching Xiaolan and Yotsuga Rika go to the bathroom, Maori went downstairs to solve the problem of Nikaido Yuji's death.

As he walked down the stairs, Maori noticed that the once bustling living room had become silent.

Several people dispersed and sat in their seats, with gloomy looks on their faces. There was an atmosphere of depression and uneasiness in the air.

Maori came to the body of Nikaido Yuji and found Conan busy checking the scene.

When he saw Maoli coming down the stairs, his eyes immediately lit up and he hurried over to meet him.

"Ah, hehe...Uncle Maori..."

bang!

Maori gave Conan, who was maliciously trying to be cute, a slap on the face, "Stop talking nonsense, just say what you want to say..."

"Oh……"

Conan covered his head and said, "Nikaidou Yuji's body was forced into the pool and drowned. There are several wet marks on the edge of the pool, indicating that someone may have touched these places when he took action. There are also several obvious disturbance marks on the water surface nearby, indicating that someone struggled in the water."

Maori followed Conan to the pool and took a look. He then looked up at the sky where the rain was falling and sighed slightly.

It's raining, and the rain will wash away all the traces, making all the evidence blurred. This criminal is very well prepared.

Moreover, is it really different from the original?

Maori turned around and looked at Ichieda Takashi who had a miserable look on his face. In the original book, it was this miserable guy who attacked Shii Reika and others.

But now, he didn't move at all, and there was no trace of clothes on his body, so it was probably not him who did it.

The main suspicion may still have to be placed on other people.

Looking at the few people sitting far away, Mao Li frowned, "What's going on with these people now?"

Conan scratched his head, looking confused and embarrassed.

"Actually, I accidentally made the situation more complicated. I told everyone that the murderer was among them, and now they don't trust each other anymore. The whole atmosphere has become very tense."

"...What the hell!"

Maori gave Conan another big slap, and Conan's already swollen head got another big bump.

Chapter 159: Male on top of male

At this moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard became tense.

The suspicion among the crowd made them keep their distance, their eyes full of distrust and vigilance.

The death of Yuji Nikaido has left everyone confused and nervous. They cannot be sure who the murderer is, nor can they fully trust the people around them.

Seeing this, Kogoro Maori knew that if this continued, the situation would only get worse.

He glared at Conan who was holding his head and laughing awkwardly, then took the initiative to step forward and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Everyone calm down first. The most important thing now is to find the real murderer, not to confront each other."

"How about we sit down, have a cup of coffee and calm down, and then each make an alibi statement?"

Although everyone still seemed a little hesitant, seeing Mao Li's calm attitude, they nodded reluctantly.

At this time, Nanami came down from upstairs, and Maori asked her to make coffee.

Soon, Nanami was holding a tray filled with steaming coffee cups.

She gently placed the coffee cup in front of each person. The aroma of coffee filled the air, which seemed to ease the tense atmosphere a little.

"Everyone, please have some coffee," Maori said. "Have a cup first, and then we will make our presentations one by one."

Although everyone was still wary of each other, under Maori's persuasion, they all picked up their coffee cups and tasted them reluctantly.

They sat together, but there was still a big distance between them, and their eyes were full of vigilance and defensiveness.

Mori looked around and noticed that everyone had a different expression on their face: Ichieda Takashi's eyes flickered, Mifune Takuya seemed a little impatient, Gojo Osamu frowned slightly, and Rokuda Masashi looked around with a calm look.

Mao Li spoke again: "Don't worry, we will find out the truth step by step. Now, please state your specific location and activities at the time of the incident in chronological order, so that we can find more clues and catch the murderer as soon as possible."

Under Maori's mediation, everyone began to reluctantly accept the proposal and stated their alibis one by one.

Although they still didn't trust each other very much, Maori gave them a little comfort and hope.

Although the situation remains complicated, at least there is now a preliminary direction for investigation.

Yizhi Long was the first to stand up. He cleared his throat and said, "Um, Detective Maori, I never left the villa at that time! Look at my clothes, they are all dry!"

Although his voice was trembling, his eyes were firm.

Everyone looked at him, and although they had some doubts, no one raised any objections for the time being.

Then, Mifune Takuya and Gojo Osamu stood up together.

Mifune Takuya glanced at Gojo Osamu and said, "We were together the whole time, except for the time when we went to the yard to get wet in the rain, so there should be no suspicion."

Gojo Osamu also nodded and added: "Yes, we act together and can testify for each other."

Mao Li nodded. Unless it was a two-person crime, the possibility of one of them committing the crime was relatively small.

Then, Maori looked at Rokuda Masashi.

This handsome middle-aged man appeared extremely calm and independent from beginning to end, and his eyes never left Maori.

Maori's eyes were fixed on him, obviously waiting for his explanation.

Rokuda Masashi sighed, gave a wry smile, and slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his right arm.

His right arm was wrapped in thick bandages and looked seriously injured.

He explained: "My right hand was badly injured in the last accident. Now I can't exert any strength at all, let alone hold someone down and drown them in the pool."

Maori looked at Rokuda's wound carefully and confirmed what he said.

Although the wound was real, he still did not completely let down his guard.

"Although you are injured, I still hope you can explain what you were doing at the time."

Maori said calmly.

Rokuda Masashi nodded and said calmly, "I was walking alone in the yard at the time, trying to relieve the pain of my wound. Although it seems suspicious to act alone, I can provide hospital records to prove the extent of my injuries."

"Mr. Nikaidou looks quite strong. If we want to drown him in the pool, we'll probably need some strength..."

Conan started muttering to himself. Maori glanced at him, and he immediately ran away with his head in his hands with a wry smile.

You want me to tell you such a simple thing?

The focus of suspicion began to shift to people with great strength who were able to drown people in the pool, and Takuya Mifune was obviously the most suspicious one among them.

His muscular body and strong physique clearly showed that he possessed such strength.

Maori couldn't help but look at him.

Mifune Takuya seemed a little impatient. Seeing Maori's eyes fixed on him, he couldn't help but snorted: "Are you doubting me? I really don't like it here, but I have no reason to kill anyone."

Mao Li did not answer immediately, but continued to observe his expression.

Then he turned to look at Gojo Osamu, wondering if the two of them might have committed the crime in tandem.

Gojo Osamu and Mifune Takuya have a good relationship and travel together, which makes people wonder whether the two of them are working together.

"What were you two doing in the yard?"

Maori asked, his eyes sharp.

Gojo Osamu scratched his head and answered awkwardly, "We just went out to get some fresh air and chat about some things. Mifune was by my side the whole time."

"Then are you sure that he was always within your sight and never left at any time?"

Maori continued to ask.

Gojo Osamu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes, he has always been by my side. We have never been apart."

Maori fell into deep thought. Although Mifune Takuya was strong, if Gojo Osamu's testimony was true, the two of them would have no chance of committing the crime.

Unless the two of them are accomplices, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove this.

But what can two grown men do alone in the yard?

Maori looked up and down at Mifune Takuya and Gojo Osamu. One was a dark-skinned muscular man, and the other was a white-skinned, slightly fat man with glasses. Mifune Takuya didn't like a rich beauty like Yotsuga Reika...

hiss……

No way?

Male on top of male?

Maori thought of a possibility, looked at the two men with a strange look, then turned around and looked at Rokuda Masashi and Ichieda Takashi.

Although Takuya Mifune is the strongest, others cannot be completely ruled out as suspects.

Especially Rokuda Masaji, although his right hand was injured, it does not mean that he has no motivation and ability.

For a while, the case was at a stalemate again.

"If not, let's go to bed first. I'm a little sleepy..."
