Conan rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, but couldn't help sighing in his heart that Maori's recent performance was indeed making him more and more impressed, and he even began to doubt who the real detective was.
Xiaolan and Sonoko were still playing, while Maori still had his eyes closed in deep thought, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
His thoughts had already gone beyond this journey, and he was secretly planning his upcoming trip to the Tomizawa family.
The luxury car continued to speed along the coastline, heading towards the Tozawa family's villa.
……
Maori and his group finally arrived at the seaside. The fresh sea breeze blew on their faces, accompanied by the sound of waves hitting the shore, as if all their troubles were swept into the depths of the sea.
The Suzuki family had already prepared all the swimming gear and clothes. Xiaolan and Sonoko changed into their swimsuits and ran to the shoreline impatiently.
The two chased the waves like children, and their laughter and playfulness filled the entire beach.
Xiaolan is wearing a conservative light blue swimsuit. Although it is very conservative, her figure is quite domineering and she is becoming more and more like Eri Kisaki. However, Sonoko's swimsuit is bright pink and full of vitality.
The two laughed and joked, and the waves rolled gently under their feet.
“Wow, it feels so good!”
Sonoko shouted happily, completely immersed in the embrace of the waves.
"Sonoko! Be careful!"
Xiaolan was also stepping on the water happily, looking like an angel under the sunlight.
"It's so beautiful."
Maori looked at his daughter with satisfaction, she was indeed the best.
"Uncle...it's so hot."
Haibara Ai doesn't like sunlight at all. She hides in Maori's arms, lazily avoiding the glaring sunlight.
She grumbled quietly, "I don't want to get tanned."
Mao Li smiled and hugged her tightly and said, "I will apply sunscreen on your whole body later."
Huihara nodded with a blushing face, not refusing at all.
Conan stood not far away, looking at the sea and sighed.
He, too, thought of the guy who grabbed the brown-haired woman and killed her at the beach.
However, before Conan had time to think about it, he felt a force coming from behind, and he was kicked aside by Maori.
"Stop sighing there, kid."
Maori kicked Conan and hugged Huihara Ai tightly in his arms, "Go play somewhere else. I'm going to put sunscreen on Ai."
Conan looked at Maori with frustration, rubbed the place where he was kicked and ran away.
At this moment, Suzuki Ayako also walked to Maori's side.
Her eyes fell on her sisters Sonoko and Xiaolan who were laughing and playing in the distance, and a hint of sadness appeared on her face.
That carefree smile seemed to be the life she once had but was gradually drifting away. She sighed softly and whispered, "If possible, I really don't want to get married."
Maori tilted his head slightly and looked at Suzuki Ayako meaningfully.
He whispered, "After today, maybe you won't be so sad anymore."
Suzuki Ayako listened to Maori's words, frowned slightly, and looked at him with a somewhat puzzled look, as if she didn't understand what he meant.
However, Maori did not explain further, and his eyes suddenly turned to the distance.
Not far away, a dark-skinned, thin man was running towards them with a hurried step and a warm and simple smile on his face.
He seemed very honest and kind, with a hint of cautious awe in his eyes.
When he got closer, he bowed respectfully to everyone, then looked up and smiled friendly.
"Hello, Ayako."
There was a hint of nervousness in his tone, but his eyes were full of tenderness.
He is Suzuki Ayako's future fiancé, Tomizawa Yuzo.
Chapter 211: Holding Hands in Front of the Marriage Partner
When Tomizawa Yuzo saw Suzuki Ayako, he bowed slightly and greeted her nervously: "Ayako, I finally meet you."
However, Suzuki Ayako's reaction seemed a little stiff.
She just nodded, forced a faint smile, and responded, "Hello, Mr. Yuzo."
Large families all have the same surname. In order to distinguish each person, people in large families basically call each other directly by their names.
Tomizawa Yuzo's eyes quickly fell on Mori Kogoro, and he was obviously very concerned about this "Ayako's savior."
He immediately bowed respectfully, with a bit of awe in his tone: "Hello, Mr. Maori, thank you very much for saving Ayako."
Mao Li replied calmly: "You're welcome."
Then he glanced at Suzuki Ayako beside him and noticed that she was unconsciously getting nervous.
Sure enough, Suzuki Ayako didn't seem to like this man. Her body was slightly stiff, her eyes flickered, and there was a hint of uneasiness on her face.
Tomizawa Yuzo's approach made her feel extremely pressured.
Maori sighed softly, and when Tomizawa Yuzo wasn't paying attention, he quietly reached out and held Suzuki Ayako's hand.
Suzuki Ayako was caught off guard and felt Mori's hand tightly holding her fingers. Her heart trembled suddenly. She immediately raised her head and looked at Mori in surprise.
At this moment, she felt mixed emotions, nervous and somewhat unbelievable.
In front of his marriage partner, Mr. Maori was so bold as to hold his hand.
A slight blush appeared on Suzuki Ayako's face, but she did not resist Maori's behavior.
At this moment, it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world, and the marriage partner, Tomizawa Yuzo, who had troubled her, became irrelevant.
Tomizawa Yuzo did not notice the subtle atmosphere between the two of them. He still stood aside with a polite smile and said some irrelevant polite words.
However, Suzuki Ayako's heart had already been beating violently since Mori's grip, and it was difficult to calm down.
Just as Suzuki Ayako's heartbeat quickened due to Mori's touch, Sonoko suddenly ran over excitedly, breaking this delicate atmosphere.
"Sister Ayako! Uncle Mori! Come play in the water!"
"Eh? Could this person be..."
Sonoko called out loudly, not noticing at all that Suzuki Ayako hurriedly let go of Mori's hand.
Suzuki Ayako quickly regained her composure, and with a concealed smile, she introduced herself to Sonoko somewhat unnaturally: "Sonoko, this is Mr. Tomizawa Yuzo, my... fiancé."
Sonoko greeted Tomizawa Yuzo in a familiar manner: "Oh, Yuzo-ni! I heard about you from sister Ayako!"
Xiong San looked a little shy, gave an unnatural smile, and nodded.
At this moment, Sonoko seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, is Uncle Tozawa at home? I used to play with him when I was a kid!"
"He should be here. I'll call dad!"
When Tomizawa Yuzo heard this, he quickly took out his cell phone and made a call, but the other end of the line was met with a cold recorded voice prompt: "Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later."
He frowned, a little puzzled: "That's strange, Dad said he would come to the villa at three o'clock, and now it's half past three, why is no one answering the phone?"
Yuanzi waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, why don't we just go to his house to find him? We're going there anyway."
After saying that, she ran towards the Fuze family's villa. Xiaolan hurriedly shouted from behind: "Sonoko, wait!"
However, Yuanzi did not stop at all and ran away far away.
Seeing this, Xiaolan could only helplessly give Tomizawa Yuzo an apologetic smile: "I'm so sorry, Sonoko was too impulsive."
"oh oh……"
Tomizawa Yuzo looked at Xiaolan in a daze, and a blush involuntarily appeared on his face.
Xiaolan's bright eyes and charming look made him dazed for a moment.
Seeing this, Mao Li immediately snorted and directly put his arm around Xiaolan's waist, with a bit of possessiveness in his eyes, and said lightly: "Okay, let's go to Tomizawa's house together."
After saying that, Mao Li lowered his head and approached Suzuki Ayako, and said in a low voice so that only she could hear him: "Men who eat what's in the bowl and still think about what's in the pot are not good people."
It’s different for Mao Li, he just takes the pot away.
When Suzuki Ayako heard this, her face turned slightly red. She glanced at Tomizawa Yuzo who was still a little dazed, and couldn't help feeling funny in her heart. She knew that there was something else behind Maori's words.
However, she did look down upon Tomizawa Yuzo's performance.
……
The group followed Sonoko to the Tozawa family's villa.
As soon as I stepped into the hall, I heard hearty laughter coming from inside.
Sonoko was having a fight with a middle-aged man, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.
The middle-aged man was tall and strong, with a smiling face. When he saw Mao Li come in, he immediately laughed and walked over.
"Oh, isn't this the famous Detective Maori? I actually get to meet you! What an honor!"
Tetsuji Tozawa extended his hand enthusiastically and held Mori's hand tightly.
Mao Li was slightly stunned, then he also responded with a smile: "No, no, Mr. Tomizawa, you are too polite. It is my honor to be here."
Tetsuji Tozawa held Mori's hand tightly, his eyes full of admiration and excitement.
After a few pleasantries, he pulled Maoli towards the sofa in the living room, not giving Maoli any chance to refuse.
Tomizawa Yuzo stood aside a little embarrassedly and asked everyone else to sit down: "I'm sorry, my father's favorite thing besides baseball is detective. He often reads reports about Mr. Maori, but he didn't expect to actually meet him today."
With a shy smile, he poured tea for everyone.
Xiaolan, Haibara Ai and Conan also sat down. Sonoko was still standing beside them with a smile on her face, obviously getting along very comfortably with Tetsuji Tozawa.
Tetsuji Tozawa patted Tozawa Yuzo's shoulder with excitement, "Quick, Yuzo, turn on the TV! There's an air-to-air match today!"
While urging, he pulled Maoli to sit in front of the TV, making no secret of his love for baseball.
"Detective Mori," Tetsuji Tozawa said nonstop, "What team do you like to watch? My favorite is the Kagoshima Air-to-Air team. Their pitcher is amazing, simply legendary! But today's opponent is not weak either. I feel that this game will definitely be intense!"
Maori smiled on the surface, but actually felt helpless. Although he had no particular interest in baseball, he still joined in the conversation with his extensive knowledge.
"Oh, the Air-to-Air team? They are indeed very strong, especially after their performance this year. Many experts predict that they will make it to the national finals."
Maori's words made Tozawa Tetsuji even more excited. His eyes sparkled and he couldn't help but pat Maori on the shoulder: "Yes, yes, yes! I think so too! You are really an expert! It's a pity that we met too late!"
Chapter 212: Drunkenness and Power Outage
Tetsuji Tozawa seemed to be getting more and more excited, his speech speed also increased, and he began to talk incessantly about the various tactics and player performances of the air-to-air team.
Mao Li responded cleverly and occasionally offered some seemingly professional opinions, which made Tetsuji Tozawa admire him even more.
The two of them talked back and forth, the topic became deeper and deeper, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, as if old friends were meeting again.
Xiaolan and Sonoko couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. Sonoko said jokingly, "I never thought that Uncle Maori and Uncle Tozawa could have such a good chat!"
Xiaolan said with emotion: "Yes, seeing them like this makes people feel at ease."
Tetsuji Tozawa and Maori got along more and more, and the topic gradually shifted from baseball to family.
Tetsuji Tozawa patted Maori's shoulder, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they became brothers.
"Brother Mori," Tozawa Tetsuji sighed, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his tone was filled with helplessness and unwillingness, "Do you know? These three sons of mine really make me worry so much!"
"Let's start with my eldest son, Taichi Tomizawa! Why doesn't he take over the family company and go off to write novels? He spends the whole day hiding in the study and typing away! Have you ever seen the eldest son of a chaebol family leave the company alone and go off to do literature? It's such a waste of time!"
Tetsuji Tozawa became more and more angry as he spoke, and Maori made a soft "hmm" sound to show his agreement.
In fact, he was quite understanding of Taichi Tomizawa's choice, but it was obvious that the head of the chaebol family was very dissatisfied with his son's decision.
"And my second son, Tozawa Tatsuji!"
Tomizawa Tetsuji's face became even gloomier, and his voice became much louder. "Although he works in the company, he hangs out with a questionable woman all day long! I told him that this woman is not suitable for him, but he just wouldn't listen! How can we expect such a waste to take over?"
"Look, my youngest son, Tomizawa Yuzo, eh..."
Tetsuji Tozawa shook his head, looking increasingly disappointed. "I spent so much time and effort to find him a marriage with the Suzuki family! But what about him? He doesn't want to work hard and insists on being a painter! The hard work of most of my life has fallen on these useless kids. It really makes me angry!"
