Atsushi Omura was pinned to the ground, groaning in pain, and trying to struggle but to no avail.

He had completely lost the strength to resist at this moment, and the remaining madness in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by deep despair and collapse.

Maori Kogoro looked down at him, his tone heavy with compassion: "Do you really think that violence can solve all problems? I can understand the emotional pain, but you chose the worst way. You killed not only Nakamichi, but also yourself, the self who was a member of the judo club in the past!"

"Omura! Why don't you wake up?!"

Mao Li was so angry that tears began to well up in Omura Jun's eyes. He seemed to have suddenly realized his mistake. He completely collapsed under Mao Li's suppression and muttered to himself, "I... I just don't want to lose him... I don't know what to do..."

Seeing that he had completely collapsed, Mao Li loosened his hand, stood up, sighed slightly, straightened his clothes, and then said lightly: "Don't forget, I am the judo champion, and I still am."

……

When everyone heard the noise, they rushed over.

Standing at the door were Ayashiro Yukio and Ayashiro Noriko. When they saw Omura Jun collapsed to the ground and Horikoshi Yumi with a complicated expression, their eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

Yumi Horikoshi lowered her eyes and explained everything in a low and choked voice: "Omura...he lost control of his emotions because of what happened to Nakamichi and made a mistake."

After hearing the explanation, Mr. and Mrs. Lingcheng showed an incredible expression on their faces.

Ayashiro Yukio's face suddenly turned livid. He stepped forward, grabbed Omura Jun's collar, pulled him up roughly from the ground, and angrily asked, "Are you crazy, Omura? Nakamichi is your friend! How could you do such a thing?"

Noriko Ayashiro stood aside, already in tears.

She covered her mouth with her hands and choked up, "How could it turn out like this... Omura, Nakamichi..."

She couldn't say any more and could only let the tears continue to fall.

Maori Kogoro took a look at the chaotic scene in front of him and whispered to Xiaolan: "Lan, call the police."

However, before Xiaolan could take any action, Huiyuan Ai had already quietly taken out her cell phone, raised it, and said calmly: "I called the police ten minutes ago."

Maori saw this scene and smiled approvingly. He reached out and gently touched Huihara Ai's head, and said softly, "Well done, Ai-chan."

Huibara Ai turned her head away proudly, put her hands behind her back, said nothing, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Soon, Chiba Prefecture police arrived at the scene.

As soon as the police saw Kogoro Mouri, they immediately recognized him and showed expressions of respect.

They handled the scene efficiently and took away the still-collapsed Atsushi Omura.

The entire hotel fell into silence, and the class reunion that was originally full of laughter and joy became unusually heavy.

The Ayashiro couple looked at each other in silence, Horikoshi Yumi also stood silently by the side, and Mori watched all this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This class reunion ended in sadness and loss.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission: Gotei 3000! Solved the class reunion murder case and received 33000 points. Currently, there are points left.]

……

After dealing with the police investigation, the Ayashiro couple did not stay for long.

The two packed their luggage in silence and drove away from the hotel.

There was no word in the car. Ayashiro Yukio gripped the steering wheel tightly with a dim look in his eyes, while Ayashiro Noriko turned her head to look out the window with a sad expression.

Both of them understood that there would be no more class reunions.

Yumikoshi Horikoshi and Mori and his group chose to take the Shinkansen back to Beihua.

She remained silent all the way, as if she had lost the ability to speak.

Xiaolan and Haibara Ai also noticed her emotions and were no longer as active as usual. Instead, they sat quietly on both sides of her, secretly glancing at her from time to time.

The train was running smoothly and the scenery outside the window passed by quickly, as if time was passing quickly.

However, Horikoshi Yumi felt that this journey was extremely long, and the heaviness in her heart became increasingly difficult to relieve.

After arriving at Mihua Station, several people got off the bus.

There was a bustling crowd on the platform, but Yumi Horikoshi seemed to be in a lonely world, immersed in her own thoughts.

Kogoro Maori looked at her and felt sorry for her, knowing that it would not be good for her if she continued like this.

He gestured to Xiaolan and Xiaoai to wait for a moment, walked forward, and gently pulled Horikoshi Yumi over.

"Yumi, let's talk."

Horikoshi Yumi looked up blankly, looking at Maori with eyes full of helplessness and confusion.

She followed Maori to a corner and finally asked softly, "Kogoro, why does love become like this? Why does love turn into hate?"

Mao Li was silent for a while, lit a cigarette, and slowly spoke: "Love should be a beautiful thing, an emotion in which people cherish and care for each other. But sometimes, love becomes complicated, mixed with jealousy, anxiety, and even obsession. When these negative emotions accumulate to a certain extent, love will deteriorate and become a kind of pain, and even make people do irreparable things."

He looked at Horikoshi Yumi and continued, "Omura's feelings for Nakamichi are a kind of love that cannot be reciprocated."

"And this unsatisfied feeling gradually fermented in his heart and turned into resentment. When he saw Zhongdao's love for you, and his own feelings were not understood, the pain and anger in his heart completely erupted."

Chapter 184: Can the famous steamed egg be eaten?

Tears welled up in Yumi Horikoshi's eyes. She bit her lip and said in a trembling voice: "Kogoro, I never thought of hurting others...but Nakamichi..."

If I could have given up earlier, if I could have known his feelings earlier...

But, everything is irreversible.

"I know," Maori interrupted her softly, "You're not wrong. Love should be a free choice, you just followed your heart. But there are some things that we can't control. Don't let your heart bear too much responsibility."

He stepped forward and hugged Horikoshi Yumi, "If you hadn't persisted, you wouldn't be my woman like you are now, right?"

Horikoshi Yumi nodded slightly and leaned her head on Maori.

"Kogoro, it's great to have you..."

Seeing that Horikoshi Yumi's mood had stabilized a little, Maori Kogoro said gently: "Yumi, you should quit your current job, go out and have fun for a while, adjust your mentality, and I will pay for all the expenses."

Horikoshi Yumi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Maori with a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in her eyes.

Mao Li smiled slightly and continued, "When you have had enough fun and have calmed down, go to Beidou Group. That is my company. Helping my company is also helping me. Isn't this better?"

After hearing Maori's proposal, the hesitation in Horikoshi Yumi's eyes gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a touch of emotion.

Without saying anything, she stepped forward, put her arms around Maori's neck, and kissed him deeply, as if she wanted to express her gratitude and affection through this kiss.

After their lips parted, Yumi Horikoshi blushed and said, "Thank you, Kogoro. I will listen to you carefully."

"How about a different name?"

Mao Li said to Horikoshi Yumi with a smile. Horikoshi Yumi blushed and kissed Mao Li again, saying coquettishly: "Husband~ I am the most obedient~"

"Good good."

Maori patted her with satisfaction and walked back with her, "Let's go back together, Lan and Xiaoai are still waiting."

……

Yumi Horikoshi took a deep breath, as if she had spit out all her sadness and fatigue. Her eyes gradually became firm, as if she had regained the appearance of the goddess of the judo club.

That confidence and charm returned to her, and her smile was bright and moving, as if the haze had never existed.

"Then I'll go sort it out, quit my job tomorrow, and then go have some fun for a while."

Yumi Horikoshi said lightly, then waved her hand and said goodbye to the three Maori with a smile, "When I come back, I will definitely face the future in a better state."

Maori nodded, watched Horikoshi Yumi leave, and felt relieved.

He knew that Yumi Horikoshi would pick herself up and continue her life, and this experience would become part of her growth and make her stronger.

Xiaolan and Haibara Ai also smiled with relief, knowing that Horikoshi Yumi had finally walked out of the shadows and the future would definitely be better.

"So where do we go next?"

Xiaolan blinked and looked at Maori. Although the ending was not very good this time, the process in between was very satisfying.

Especially the fact that my father and I have taken a step further is already a big surprise.

The kind that can be digested for a long time.

"Why don't we go to Dr. Agasa's place and see how the little brat is doing."

As Maori touched his chin, he suddenly remembered that until now, he had not communicated much with Professor Agasa.

He is an expert in scientific research. There is definitely no harm in communicating with him more. He can also help Xiao Ai ask about laboratory matters.

……

Soon, they arrived at the door of Dr. Agasa's house. As soon as they approached, they heard a noise coming from inside.

When Maori opened the door, what came into his sight was the three members of the Junior Detective League surrounding Conan and tormenting him excitedly. Conan's hair had been messed up into a mess, which made him look particularly funny.

"Little boy, you are having fun."

Maori couldn't help laughing as he spoke. The moment Conan saw Maori Kogoro come in, he felt like he had seen a savior. He quickly broke free from the "encirclement" of the Boy Detective League, ran to Maori, with a look of help on his face.

"Uncle! Help!"

The three members of the Junior Detective Team ran over, surrounded Maori, and looked at him curiously.

Ayumi was the first to react, her eyes sparkling, and she said excitedly: "Ah! You are the famous detective Uncle Maori Kogoro! I often see you on TV!"

Mitsuhiko also reacted immediately and nodded excitedly, "Yes, it's him! How amazing! I actually saw it with my own eyes!"

Only Yuan Tai looked at Mao Li in confusion, frowned and asked: "What is the famous steamed egg? Can it be eaten?"

Mao Li couldn't help laughing, squatted down and pinched Yuan Tai's fat face, and said with a smile: "You can't eat the famous steamed egg, but the famous detective is someone who can help you solve many problems."

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko laughed even more happily after hearing this, but Genta still looked confused, but when he saw everyone was laughing, he also started to laugh foolishly.

Conan stood aside and breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally saved and was no longer the object of "torture".

"Oh, Mr. Maori, you're here."

Professor Agasa walked out cheerfully and greeted Maori with a smile.

The two knew each other before, and with Conan's relationship, they now seem even more familiar with each other.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Mao Li asked Dr. Agasa: "Doctor, do you have any vacant laboratories here? If possible, can you sell one to me?"

Dr. Agasa pushed his glasses up, a look of curiosity on his face: "What are you going to do? What are you going to study with the lab?"

Maori did not answer directly, but turned around to look at Ai who was surrounded by the Junior Detective League.

The scene over there was quite interesting. Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta were surrounding Haibara Ai curiously, asking her questions with expectant looks on their faces.

"Ai-chan, what do you like to do?"

Ayumi asked excitedly.

Huiyuan Ai glanced at her coldly and replied calmly: "Reading and research."

Mitsuhiko then asked: "What is your dream?"

Huiyuan Ai raised her eyelids and said sarcastically, "Live longer than others."

Yuan Tai looked puzzled and asked immediately: "What do you like to eat the most?"

Huihara Ai looked at him and replied coldly: "Bitter coffee."

The three of them looked at each other, speechless for a moment by Haibara Ai's cold temperament and sharp tongue, not knowing what to say.

Conan, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and couldn't help but smile with a gloating look: "Haha, it's your own fault."

Dr. Agasa looked at Maori's reaction, followed his gaze to look at Xiao Ai, with a puzzled look on his face: "Who is that little girl? I haven't seen her before."

Mao Li shook his head and did not elaborate, but responded vaguely: "She is a special child, and some things are not convenient to disclose now."

Seeing that Mao Li was unwilling to say more, Dr. Agasa did not continue to ask questions, but just nodded. He suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Oh, by the way, Professor Hirota Masami of Nanyang University is about to retire. There is a vacancy in his laboratory. I can ask for you!"

Chapter 185 Professor Hirota

Dr. Agasa quickly called Professor Hirota and after a brief conversation, Professor Hirota said that there was indeed a laboratory that could be transferred.

At this moment, Huiyuan Ai, who was standing nearby, suddenly remembered something. Her expression changed, and she ran over anxiously, grabbed Dr. Agasa's sleeve, and said anxiously: "Doctor, ask Professor Hirota if he knows Miyano Akemi?"

Although Dr. Agasa didn't understand why, he still did it.
