Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Her movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation, as if everything was under her control.

"Hey?!"

Haibara Ai looked at this scene, her ice-blue eyes widened.

She instinctively felt that the relationship between the Suzuki family's hostess and Mori was not simple.

"Don't look at them. There must be something wrong with them."

Conan picked his ears and said with disdain: "This is all Uncle Maori's basic operation."

"I didn't ask you."

Haibara said this in a sad tone and Conan scratched his head.

Why are you mad at me without asking me?

……

A moment later, Sonoko and Xiaolan returned to the living room together, and their packed luggage was neatly placed aside.

Sonoko took a quick look and found that only Conan and Huihara Ai were left in the living room. She immediately walked up and asked, "Where is Uncle Maori? Why are there only two of you left?"

Just then, the door of the study slowly opened, and Mao Li walked out in high spirits, looking refreshed, as if he had just experienced an extremely successful transaction.

Suzuki Tomoko looked a little embarrassed, her clothes were a little disheveled, her face was slightly red, and she seemed a little out of breath.

Looking through the crack in the door, the study seemed to be in a mess, with documents on the table scattered all over the floor. It was obvious that quite a commotion had just occurred.

Mao Li saw Sonoko and Xiaolan and smiled deliberately and said, "Thanks to Mrs. Suzuki for your assistance, we just completed a transaction worth hundreds of millions, and it went very smoothly."

When Suzuki Tomoko heard what Maori said, her face instantly turned redder.

She pretended to be calm, smiled reluctantly, and said to Sonoko, "The arrangement for this trip to the villa was prepared by your sister Ayako. She is waiting for you at the villa. You can just go and play together."

"I have other things to do. Excuse me."

After saying that, Suzuki Tomoko turned and left, quickly walking out of the living room.

Her steps became hurried, and she tried hard to clamp her sticky legs together, feeling something flowing down.

Sonoko and Xiaolan stood there, looking at Suzuki Tomoko's back with some confusion.

Yuanzi couldn't help but ask in a low voice out of curiosity: "Uncle Maori, what was the deal just now?"

"Don't ask too many questions, kid."

Maori just chuckled, and Sonoko scratched his head in confusion and looked at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan obviously understood. She blushed and pulled Yuanzi over, biting her lip and saying nothing.

"what the hell……"

Yuanzi held her chin helplessly.

"Now that everyone is ready, let's go to the villa."

Maori clapped his hands and led a group of people out of the Suzuki family.

……

Maori led his group in a car along the winding mountain road. The car passed through a lush forest and finally arrived at the villa on the mountain.

The car slowly stopped. Outside the car window, the villa in the distance was looming in the green forest, and in front of it was an old and slightly shaky suspension bridge.

Mao Li stood by the car, a flash of memory in his eyes.

He couldn't help but think of the classic bandage murder case at the mountain villa, and muttered to himself, "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

The wooden boards on the suspension bridge seemed a little shaky due to years of erosion, and the bridge surface underfoot made a faint creaking sound.

As soon as Sonoko saw the suspension bridge, he started jumping around excitedly, as if he wanted to feel the thrill.

She happily took Maoli's hand, her eyes shining with anticipation.

Mao Li looked at Sonoko's excitement and had a joking thought in his mind. He deliberately asked, "Sonoko, do you know what the suspension bridge effect is?"

Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then looked at Maori with curiosity: "Suspension bridge effect? ​​What is that?"

Mao Li explained mysteriously: "The suspension bridge effect is a psychological phenomenon, which means that when people are suspended in the air, they tend to develop emotional dependence and affection for their partners."

He said, looking towards Sonoko mischievously, "So, do you find me attractive?"

Sonoko blushed and smiled shyly. Although she was a little shy, she answered frankly: "Yes, I like Uncle Maori."

Xiaolan, who was standing nearby, heard this conversation and immediately pulled Yuanzi over eagerly, with a look of obvious jealousy on her face: "Yuanzi, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense!"

I treat you as my best friend, and you want to be my mother! Not allowed!

Mao Li saw this and smiled, "Don't worry, Ran. I was just joking."

Although Sonoko's face was still red, she was also happy about it. She didn't argue anymore, but just looked at Maori with a smile.

Xiaolan glared at Yuanzi angrily, then sighed helplessly.

Soon, they crossed the suspension bridge and the villa appeared before them.

Chapter 197: The Villa and the Film Club

After crossing the suspension bridge, there is a very gorgeous villa.

After Maori and his group entered the villa, they were greeted by Suzuki Ayako, who was wearing home clothes.

She was dressed simply and elegantly, with her long hair tied into a high ponytail with a bright red ribbon tied at the end. She looked youthful, beautiful and full of energy.

Suzuki Ayako has been trained with the temperament of a Yamato Nadeshiko since she was a child. She is elegant and dignified yet friendly, immediately giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

Suzuki Ayako bowed slightly, and said politely and gently: "Welcome everyone to the villa. Thank you for your hard work on the journey. Mr. Maori, Sonoko, Xiaolan, and the two children, please come in."

Her manners were extremely standard and her etiquette was meticulous, just like a dignified lady from a noble family.

But inexplicably, Suzuki Ayako's gaze stayed on Mori Kogoro much longer than on other people.

When Sonoko saw this, she couldn't help but tease her sister: "Sister Ayako, do you like Mr. Maori too? You were staring at him just now!"

Suzuki Ayako smiled faintly and gently denied: "Sonoko, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Maori is a distinguished guest."

Her tone was gentle, but her demeanor still maintained the elegance and composure of a lady from a noble family.

[Suzuki Ayako favorability: 70]

After taking a look at the system prompt, Maori smiled slightly.

Otherwise, how can she be a woman? It is so natural for her to be two-faced.

Even though his favorability level is as high as 70 points, he can still pretend that he doesn't care at all.

However, Maori did not say anything. He naturally exchanged a few words with Suzuki Ayako and walked into the villa with his group.

"Hey! Sonoko! You're here!"

There was already a group of people sitting in the living room of the villa, and they all greeted Maori and his group.

"Ah! Everyone from the film club!"

Yuanzi ran forward excitedly, "It's been a long time!"

"Yes, yes! This is a gathering of the film club, and we haven't seen Xiao Yuanzi for a long time!"

A man wearing a brown leather jacket and holding a camera laughed and started filming the garden. "Come on, record the good life, give me a thumbs up~"

"yeah!"

Sonoko happily raised two fingers, then pulled Maori and the others over and introduced them to each other.

"Uncle Maori, let me introduce you!"

Sonoko came up behind a handsome guy with long flowing hair and a headscarf on his head, "This is actor Masaru Ota! He's always the leading actor in our movies!"

Ota Katsu nodded in greeting, his eyes fixed on Maori, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

How could there be a man more handsome than me?

"The guy holding the camera next to you is Hiroki Kadoya! He's an excellent photographer!"

Sonoko smiled and patted Hiroki Kadoya, almost knocking over the camera in his hand.

"Hey, Xiao Yuanzi, you better be careful. If the picture is not right, you will be photographed ugly!"

Hiroki Kadaya said to Sonoko jokingly. Sonoko shrank her head and came to a fat man wearing glasses. "This is Brother Takahashi Ryoichi, who is in charge of props. He is the hero behind the club."

Takahashi smiled and waved, with a somewhat shy expression on his face.

"Hey! Takahashi, you've gained weight again!"

Hiroki Kadoya is a pretty cheerful guy, and he joked with Takahashi while filming with the camera.

"Haha...haha...a hundred kilograms, right?"

Takahashi touched his belly and spoke to Hiroki Kadoya with a smile.

"You need to lose weight!"

Sonoko complained, but noticed that Maori had been looking meaningfully at Takahashi's belly, and asked in confusion, "Uncle Maori, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think that movie props are really amazing things."

As Maori spoke with emotion, Sonoko scratched her head in confusion, but did not notice the subtle change in Takahashi Ryoichi's expression.

Then Sonoko pointed to a woman with a fierce expression, wearing a purple top and with a strong aura, "This is the president of the film club, Sister Chikako Ikeda. She is not only a director, but also a screenwriter. She is in charge of all the scripts."

"Please give me more advice."

Chikako Ikeda stared at Mori intently, like a she-wolf eyeing meat, quite ferociously.

"Wow!" The moment Xiaolan saw her, she exclaimed, "Are you Chikako Ikeda, the screenwriter of "Blue Kingdom"?!"

Xiaolan's eyes were full of surprise. As a loyal fan of romance dramas, she was very familiar with the name Chikako Ikeda.

Suzuki Ayako continued, "'Blue Kingdom' was a work by Chikako when she was a student, and now it can finally be released."

On the other side, Ota Masaru held his chin and asked casually: "Ikeda, are you going to write a new movie again?"

Hiroki Kadoya excitedly held the camera, pointed it at Chikako Ikeda, and jokingly said, "Come on, Master Ikeda, say a few words to the fans."

Ikeda Chikako glanced at Kakutani coldly and said in a sarcastic tone: "Don't mock me, Kakutani. There is a true master here."

As she spoke, she turned her eyes to Maori, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised in a provocative tone, "Famous Detective Maori Kogoro, you are the one who wrote the script of "Titanic", right? I read the script, it's pretty good. But you are a detective, and a man, how could you write such a thing? Did you copy someone else's script?"

Mao Li's eyebrows were slightly raised, with a playful smile on his lips.

He looked at Chikako Ikeda calmly and asked, "Oh? Miss Ikeda, you have read my script. What do you think of it? Are you deeply moved?"

Ikeda Chikako's expression changed slightly, but she remained unforgiving and sneered, "Huh, moved? It's just an ordinary commercial work, there's nothing to praise about it."

Mao Li just chuckled, obviously not intending to waste any more words on this topic.

He knows the value of his work and does not need to prove it through recognition from others.

So, he said calmly: "Congratulations to Ms. Ikeda for having the opportunity to see such an 'ordinary' work."

"Also, only people who have plagiarized other people's works would care so much about this. What do you think, Ms. Ikeda?"

"you!"

Chikako Ikeda's expression suddenly changed, as if Mori had mentioned some taboo.

"Oh my, why is there such a strong smell of gunpowder all of a sudden?"

Sonoko clapped her hands and quickly tried to smooth things over. She pointed at her sister Suzuki Ayako and said jokingly, "There's one last person I haven't introduced yet. My sister Suzuki Ayako is in charge of makeup and costumes at the film club. Of course, she's also currently looking for a partner!"

After saying that, Yuanzi gave a thumbs up.

Suzuki Ayako heard this and interrupted with a smile: "Sonoko, what are you talking about?"

Her eyes rested briefly on Maori, then she shook her head helplessly.

Chapter 198: Going to the Forest with Xiaolan

After laughing for a while, Suzuki Ayako said with a sigh:

"It's great that we're all together. It's a pity that if Atsuko hadn't had that incident, she wouldn't be here today."

As a result, the atmosphere became subtle.
