Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

"What are you doing! Ouch..."

Conan felt wronged, and Maori Kogoro snorted coldly, "Don't embarrass me when we get to the TV station, do you hear me?"

The three of them soon arrived at Tokyo TV Station, which was thirty stories high, and the live broadcast of the Neon Music Festival was on the eleventh floor.

As soon as I arrived at the TV station, a girl in a sweatshirt and a hat came up to me and said, "Mr. Maori, you are finally here."

The hood of the sweatshirt was put down, revealing a sweet and lovely face, which was Yoko Okino.

"Mr. Maori, welcome."

Yoko Okino's sweet voice was soothing and the people in the TV station became agitated.

"Ms. Okino Yoko actually came to greet us in person!"

Conan looked at the slender legs in front of him that were longer than his height, coupled with Yoko Okino's sweet and lovely appearance, and couldn't help but show an intoxicated look, and drooled unconsciously at the corners of his mouth.

When Kogoro Mouri saw this scene, he couldn't help but give Conan a huge slap on the head, which hit him on the head with a "bang".

"You little brat! Watch your image!"

Conan held his head in his hands with a wronged look and glanced at Ran Mouri hoping to get some care, but Ran had already been immersed in the close contact with Okino Yoko and had no time to care about him.

"Wow, what a cute little brother."

Yoko Okino didn't notice Conan's lustful eyes, and patted his big head with a sweet smile.

As for celebrity business, the best business targets are those who like their own children.

Conan squinted his eyes in pleasure. Mouri Kogoro just couldn't bear to see him like this, so he directly threw the blame on him.

"Ms. Yoko, don't be fooled by the appearance of this little brat. He may look like a child, but he is very smart and precocious!"

"A few days ago, I caught him hiding in his room watching a movie. Don't let him take advantage of you!"

Yoko Okino and Xiaolan were both stunned for a moment, and took a few steps back in surprise, obviously becoming wary of Conan.

"Conan-kun, are you really doing this? This is wrong!"

Xiaolan frowned seriously and started to educate Conan.

Conan wanted to cry but had no tears. He covered the bump on his head and tried his best to defend himself: "Lan! I didn't do that! You have to believe me!"

He was so anxious that his voice became hoarse and he stopped calling his sister.

But it was his bratty attitude that made Kogoro Mori's words more certain.

Chapter 21 Is there something wrong with this guy?

Xiaolan raised her eyebrows, looking as if she was going to punch Conan again, "You have to call me sister, it's not okay for children to be naughty! Apologize quickly!"

"I'm sorry... Sister Xiaolan..."

Conan was so upset that he could not say anything and could only apologize in a wronged manner.

Kogoro Mouri was enjoying the show so much, with all the new and old grudges coming together, and he was having fun bullying the little brat Conan.

Finally, it was Yoko Okino who clapped and interrupted: "Okay, the show is about to start, let's go up."

The matter was temporarily put to rest. Conan stared at Maori with resentment. Maori Kogoro snorted. If he didn't beat the brat to death, he would be unworthy of the love he had for Xiaolan in the comics!

The three followed Yoko Okino into the Tokyo TV station.

This TV station was built thirty years ago. Although it has undergone many renovations, the traces of time can still be felt.

Along the way, Yoko Okino introduced the three people to the rooms they passed by.

“This is the recording studio, this is the dance studio, this is where the trainees practice.”

She spoke as she walked, appearing relaxed.

In this TV station, Yoko Okino is simply domineering and doesn't take anyone seriously at all.

The idol trainees passing by all greeted her, but she mostly just nodded and was too lazy to say a word.

This is the airs that a top star should have. Once the airs weaken, they will quickly be pulled down and torn apart by the women who are eyeing them covetously below.

"The idol trainee system was first created by a Korean company and soon became popular throughout Japan."

Yoko Okino complained, "Even the established Tokyo TV station is no exception and is supporting a group of young trainees. Because of this, our resources have been cut a lot."

"There's nothing we can do about that."

Kogoro Maori shrugged his shoulders, thinking that the fact that there were still idol trainees who sang and danced rap after so many years proved that this path was correct.

Xiaolan followed closely behind, her eyes full of joy at seeing something new.

But Conan is different.

There were so many beauties along the way that even Kogoro Mouri, a veteran in the love field, would sometimes be dazzled.

What’s more, what about Conan, a 17-year-old boy full of vigor and vitality?

Conan stared at those beauties with his eyes wide open.

This made Xiaolan and Yoko Okino, who were secretly observing from the side, even more convinced of what Kogoro Mori had said before.

Of course, Kogoro Mouri and the others were observing the idol trainees around them, and those trainees were also looking back at Kogoro Mouri from time to time.

"Which company's artist is this handsome uncle from? Sister Okino Yoko actually accompanied him personally."

"She looks so elegant. I don't think she's an artist. She could be a senior executive of an entertainment company. I really envy Sister Okino Yoko."

When the girls saw Maori, their eyes sparkled with stars, while the young boys looked envious and jealous when they saw Maori Kogoro.

Yoko Okino brought Kogoro Mori and the other two to the backstage of the Neon Music Festival.

The atmosphere here is very tense, and the singers are practicing intensively, making final preparations for the upcoming performance.

Among them, a familiar figure caught the attention of Kogoro Mori—Yuko Ikezawa.

When she saw Kogoro Mori, she blinked at him in surprise, with a bright smile on her face.

Kogoro Maori nodded slightly to indicate that there was no evidence of the relationship between them.

Yoko Okino said to Kogoro Maori apologetically: "Mr. Maori, I have to go to practice next. I can't accompany you to visit. Please forgive me."

Xiaolan asked with concern: "Ms. Yoko, are you going to practice the new song?"

Okino Yoko nodded confidently, her face full of anticipation, "Yes, it's my original new song, I believe it will be able to enter the top three this time!"

Kogoro Mori glanced at Ikezawa Yuko who was full of confidence, then looked at Okino Yoko, and felt secretly regretful.

Unless Yoko Okino can come up with a song on the level of Aunt Miyuki Nakajima, anything else that competes with "Snow Flower" will be a dead end.

There's nothing I can do about it, since Yuko Ikezawa is my woman.

If Yoko Okino became his woman, he would consider giving her a killer song.

"Ms. Yoko, keep practicing. We will be cheering for you from the audience."

Kogoro Mori said to Yoko Okino with a graceful smile. Yoko Okino smiled gratefully, nodded, then turned and walked towards the practice room.

Originally, Kogoro Mori and his companions were still looking for how to get to the VIP area, but soon they met a panting man.

"Excuse me, are you Detective Maori and his team?"

The man had a middle-parted hair and wiped the sweat off his face. There was a fearful yet flattering expression in his eyes. "I'm Takashi Matsuo, the host of this show."

Matsuo Takashi?

When Kogoro Mouri heard this name and the image of this man with a middle part, he felt very familiar.

Is this guy a criminal or a deceased person?

"Mr. Maori, please follow me. I will take you to the VIP area."

As Yoko Okino left for practice, Takashi Matsuo took over her task and personally received Kogoro Mori and the other two.

He brought Kogoro Mori to the VIP area with a very respectful attitude and flattering words.

However, Kogoro Mori was looking at Takashi Matsuo all the way, trying hard to recall the plot.

His sharp gaze made Matsuo Takashi feel a little uneasy.

Although Takashi Matsuo tried hard to stay calm, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. He wiped them frequently and looked very nervous.

"Mr. Maori, please sit here. This is the best viewing spot."

Takashi Matsuo pointed to the seats in the front row and spoke attentively.

"Thank you."

Kogoro Mori answered calmly, his eyes still not moving away from Takashi Matsuo.

After arranging them, Takashi Matsuo immediately took his leave to preside over the Neon Music Festival.

"Well, Mr. Maori, please enjoy the show tonight. If you need anything, please let me know. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Takashi Matsuo bowed, and when he was about to leave, Kogoro Mori suddenly called him.

"Hey, you seem very nervous. Do you have a stomachache?"

Matsuo Takashi was startled, and quickly turned around and smiled apologetically, "Yes... yes, the show is about to start, I'm very nervous, so I'll take my leave first."

After bowing again, he hurriedly left the VIP area to prepare for his hosting work.

He trotted along, secretly relieved in his heart: "This Maori Kogoro is really not easy to deal with. I feel a lot of pressure just by being stared at by him for a while. I really don't know whether it is right or wrong to call him here today."

Kogoro Mori looked at Takashi Matsuo's departing back, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, Uncle Maori."

The little brat Conan came up to Maori Kogoro and said seriously, "Do you think there's something wrong with that Matsuo Takashi?"

Chapter 22: Five Short Minutes

"what is the problem?"

Kogoro Mouri raised his eyebrows and glanced at the little brat. This guy was very sensitive. If he wanted to complete the case ahead of him and get the reward for the side quest, he had to think of a way.

"I don't know, but uncle, you seem to care about him very much."

Conan stroked his chin and began to think, and Maori Kogoro immediately gave him a slap on the face.

"I'm just worried that he might be too nervous and might not be able to host the music festival well. And you, don't think about causing trouble! Didn't you see how excited Lan was?"

Conan cried out in pain, turned his head to look at the excited Xiaolan, and couldn't help but become thoughtful.

Yes.

I don't have a death-prone physique, so it's impossible for cases to happen frequently.

What's more, this is the densely populated Tokyo TV station, and the Neon Music Festival is a live broadcast, so the probability of an incident occurring is too low.

Conan gave up the idea and simply sat down to look at the beauty.

Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief and focused his attention on the stage. In a direction that Conan couldn't see, he secretly stared at Takashi Matsuo with his peripheral vision.

Not long after, the Neon Music Festival officially began.

The stage lights are bright, colorful lights interweave in the darkness, the huge LED screen displays all kinds of dazzling visual effects, and the white smoke sprayed by the smoke machine fills the stage, making the whole scene like a dream.

Takashi Matsuo started the hosting quite steadily, without any abnormality.

As the singers performed on stage one after another, the atmosphere reached a climax, and even Conan enjoyed the music festival with peace of mind.

Soon, it was time for Yoko Okino to go on stage.

She walked to the center of the stage wearing a gorgeous performance costume and a confident smile.

The lights focused on her, and the whole stage seemed to bloom for her.

As the music started, her sweet voice echoed throughout the venue, pure and infectious.

The audience cheered louder and louder, screaming and applauding continuously. Okino Yoko's singing triggered a warm response from the audience, and every note she made touched people's hearts and made people immersed in it involuntarily.

Xiaolan watched intently from the audience, with a happy smile on her face.

She swayed her body gently to the rhythm of the music, completely immersed in this wonderful world of music.

Seeing such an outstanding performance by Yoko Okino, Xiaolan was so excited that she almost jumped up, her eyes sparkling with stars.

At this moment, Kogoro Mori, who had been working hard all the time, noticed that Takashi Matsuo hurried out. He stood up suddenly, with a serious expression, and wanted to chase him out.
