Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

……

The police arrived at the scene quickly, and Inspector Megure led the investigation, carrying out the survey work in a tense and orderly manner.

After a while, Inspector Megure took out his notebook and calmly announced the results of the investigation: "The murdered woman was named Himeno Yayoi, 24 years old, and a part-time worker."

"She was stabbed in the heart and died instantly. However, judging from the marks on her neck, the criminal had strangled her with some kind of rope before stabbing her, causing her to lose consciousness. Judging from the blood spray, the criminal first suffocated the victim, then stabbed her in the heart, and after pulling out the knife, she lost a lot of blood and eventually died."

He pointed to the window outside the toilet and continued, "The criminal must have been trying to rob money and was caught by Miss Jinye, so she wanted to kill him. Judging from this window, there is a road outside that almost no one passes by. The criminal may have sneaked into the toilet through the window and waited for prey."

"After killing him, he took the victim's money, blocked the body at the toilet door, and then escaped through the window."

Inspector Megure made a confident inference and then began to direct the police to track down the criminal. His reasoning seemed to have solved more than half of the case, and even he felt it was impeccable.

However, at this moment, Conan said thoughtfully: "Ah, hehe..."

Before he could finish his words, a familiar voice came from the direction of the toilet window.

"Inspector Megure, there is something wrong with your reasoning."

Everyone turned their heads and saw Kogoro Mouri standing by the toilet window with a sharp look in his eyes.

He pointed at the window and continued, "This window is too clean. Considering the amount of blood the victim bled, the criminal must be covered in blood. If he escaped through the window, he would have left bloodstains or fingerprints on the window. However, there is nothing on this window. Therefore, your reasoning is wrong."

Conan opened his mouth, speechless for a moment. He wanted to raise a question, but Uncle Maori got there first and said what he was going to say.

Finally, Conan sighed helplessly.

When Xiaolan saw Maori's figure appear, she shouted in surprise: "Dad, you are here!"

Maori smiled slightly, climbed in through the window, and walked towards the crowd easily.

He took out a small, delicate cake from his pocket, handed it to Hibiki Eri, and said lovingly, "I remember you always loved this, so I queued up to buy it. I'm a little late."

Kisaki Eri took the cake and looked at Maori with emotion. There was a gentle light in her eyes, and she said softly, "Husband..."

Inspector Megure coughed lightly, interrupting the warm moment between the two, and said helplessly: "Brother Maori, I think we should stop showing off our affection and solve this case first."

Mao Li coughed lightly, returned to the topic, and continued his reasoning: "In short, a criminal who left the murder weapon at the scene and fled in a panic would not have cleaned the windows spotlessly. Therefore, the criminal was not an outside intruder, but someone in this store!"

Kisaki Eri nodded in agreement, her eyes full of trust, indicating that her husband's analysis made sense.

Inspector Megure was a little anxious after hearing this, frowning and saying: "But, the door of this toilet compartment is blocked by the body, and the compartment next door has no windows. How did the criminal kill someone and leave?"

"From above, then."

At this time, Kisaki Eri also came back to her senses from being so moved, looked at Mori, and added with a smile.

"above?"

Inspector Megure pointed at the gap above the toilet cubicle in surprise, obviously not fully understanding it yet.

Mao Li explained: "Yes, the criminal must have used the gap above the private room to commit the crime cleverly. Since the body blocked the door, the criminal must have escaped from above."

After hearing this, Kisaki Eri nodded, indicating that she agreed with Mori's reasoning.

After listening to Mori's reasoning, Inspector Megure immediately asked a police officer to try to enter and exit through the gap above the toilet cubicle.

The police officer carefully climbed to the top of the private room and was able to move back and forth smoothly.

Seeing this scene, Inspector Megure frowned and confirmed Mori's speculation.

"So, when Miss Himeno was killed, who had entered this toilet?" asked Inspector Megure.

Conan jumped out of the crowd and pointed at the three suspects: "There are three people. One is a decadent man, one is a sturdy man with bandages on his fingers, and the last one is the frivolous man."

Kisaki Eri looked at Conan with some surprise, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes: "You have a strong sense of observation, kid."

Conan immediately showed an innocent smile and played it off by saying, "I was just taking a look."

Inspector Megure immediately began to interrogate the three people.

The first suspect was the decadent man. Conan originally thought he was a middle-aged man, but he didn't expect that he was a college student at an art academy.

The man called himself Huang Yuyi. He looked a little old and said he was here to write a thesis and it was his first time in this store.

The second suspect was a sturdy man with bandages on his fingers. He introduced himself as Dianshan Jusan, a coach in the sports department, with a hint of pride in his tone: "I'm a frequent visitor here, and the boss knows me, too. I like to argue with him."

The last suspect was the frivolous man. He said lazily, "My name is Wakaoji Shirou. I came here today just to wait for a girl. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

"Anyway, all three of you should try to climb over it first!"

Inspector Megure clapped his hands.

Chapter 247: Competition to Solve a Case

The first one to start climbing was Huang Yuyi. He seemed a little reluctant, but still started moving.

While everyone was watching Huang Yuyi climbing, Mao Li quietly came to the side of Ki Eri, put his arm around her waist, leaned close to her and whispered: "I haven't seen you for a while, I really missed you, Eri."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath of the fragrance on Kiyori's neck, his tone full of love.

"Really? But I feel like you're having fun playing with other girls, too."

Although Kisaki Eri still maintained her queen-like calm, she leaned naturally into Mori's arms, with a hint of deliberate teasing in her tone.

"No matter how many young girls there are, they can't compare to my wife."

Maori responded cheekily, with a wicked smile on his face.

Fei Yingli laughed and scolded, then leaned on his arms and whispered: "Hubby, I miss you too."

"If you miss me, come home and stay more often."

Mao Li said softly, "It's very comfortable at home now."

"No, it's because my home is too comfortable. I'm afraid that I will completely relax when I get home and I will never be the queen of law again."

There was a hint of firmness in Kisaki Eri's tone, but her eyes revealed her deep affection for Mori.

"What does it matter? Your husband will support you."

Mao Li said confidently that now that the Beidou Group had slowly started to make money, he was not short of money at all.

"No, I still want to be better."

There was a look of the Queen of Law on Hibiki's face, "Didn't we agree to climb to the top?"

Mao Li hugged her helplessly and said, "Don't be too tired. Really, you and Lan, both mother and daughter, are so strong-willed."

Although he was still holding Eri Kisaki, Maori's mind was already thinking about the little secrets between Xiaolan and himself.

"What happened, Lan?"

Kisaki Eri raised her eyebrows, looking a little curious.

Mao Li paused for a moment, but quickly changed the subject with a smile: "Lan has become very outstanding, by the way, do you want to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

Kiyori asked with a hint of confusion.

"As for today's case, I bet Xiaolan might be able to solve it faster than you. Do you believe it?"

Maori chuckled and spoke to Kisaki Eri, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.

Fei Yingli was slightly stunned, then shook her head and chuckled: "I don't believe it, Lan is just a child."

"What's wrong with the child?"

Maori raised the corner of his mouth and pursed his lips in Conan's direction, "Isn't he also a child? Isn't he also having fun playing reasoning games?"

Feiying followed his gaze and looked at Conan, and smiled thoughtfully: "Then tell me, how do we bet?"

"If Xiaolan can really solve the case faster than you, you have to agree to one request of mine."

Mao Li smiled meaningfully, "Remember, any request is fine."

"Okay."

Kisaki Eri nodded slightly, a glimmer of challenge flashing in her eyes, "What if I win?"

"If you win, I'll agree to any of your requests. How about that?"

Maori suggested with a smile, confidence in his eyes.

"make a deal."

A smile appeared on the corner of Kisaki's mouth, and she was secretly looking forward to it.

……

"I don't know what Dad is whispering to Mom..."

Standing aside, Xiaolan secretly glanced at Maori and Kisaki Eri hugging each other, and felt a little sad in her heart.

But she adjusted herself quickly. Isn't it normal for dad and mom to have a good relationship? It's those little secrets between her and dad that are abnormal.

My mother is so sensitive, I must not let her find out.

Xiaolan cautiously stood aside, but she never expected that Maori would come to her side.

Mao Li quietly took her hand and whispered, "Lan, I just made a bet with your mother. I bet on whether you can solve the case faster than her."

Hearing this, Xiaolan quickly shook her head in surprise and said in a low voice: "How can I solve the case faster than my mother? My mother is the queen of law!"

Maori smiled and said nonchalantly: "So what? Your father is the savior of Tokyo! What are you afraid of with me helping you?" After he said that, he winked at Xiaolan playfully.

Xiaolan glanced at Kisaki Eri not far away, and her heart was also shaken.

As a daughter, how could she not want to be more powerful than her mother?

What's more, myself and my father...

After thinking for a moment, Xiaolan blushed, took Maori's hand, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Dad, I'll leave it all to you. If you really beat mom, I'll give you a small surprise, okay?"

Mao Li grinned, his eyes full of pride and expectation, and responded in a low voice: "Of course it's good, it couldn't be better."

How can it be bad to have the best of both worlds?

……

Huang Yuyi climbed over the top of the toilet cubicle with great effort, and Prince Ruo also successfully followed him over.

When it was Dianshan Shisan's turn, he frowned and said, "I don't need to try, right? I definitely can't get through with my body shape."

Inspector Megure nodded, thought for a while, and then deduced: "The criminal may be between Huang Yuyi and Waka Prince!"

He stared at the two of them, and they immediately began to protest their innocence, saying in unison: "I don't even know that woman!"

At this time, a police officer came over and said, "We found the rope on Huang Yuyi's seat!"

When Inspector Megure heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "Could it be the weapon used to strangle the deceased?"

"There's also a dagger." The police officer continued, "I'm afraid it's the murder weapon!"

Inspector Megure took a closer look and immediately determined: "The criminal is Huang Yuyi! Catch him quickly!"

Just as the police officer was about to take action, Mao Li suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

He motioned to the officer to hand him the dagger so he could have a look at it.

Maori looked at the dagger carefully and found that it was covered with blood, but there was a circle at the junction of the handle and the blade that was not stained by blood.

Maori looked down, then raised his head to glance at the threshold of the toilet, and he had made up his mind.

"show me."

Kisaki Eri walked over, took the dagger, and began to observe it carefully.

Conan also came over, staring at the dagger intently, analyzing it in his mind.

Xiaolan stood aside, thinking about how to solve the case faster than her mother.

She didn't look at the dagger, but went straight to Maori. She thought that with her mother's observation ability, she would probably come to the conclusion quickly, so if she wanted to be faster than her, she would just "cheat" and ask her father for advice.

"How's it going, Maori brother?"

When Inspector Megure saw that the Maori family had started looking at the murder weapon, he became interested and asked, "Are you guys having a competition? Who can solve the case faster?"
