She bowed deeply to Mao Li and said solemnly: "Mr. Mao Li, after the case at hand is finished, I will resign from my current position and join the legal department of Beidou Group to work for you."
Maori smiled and nodded slightly to show his approval.
Usui Ritsuko was very smart. She immediately walked in front of Kisaki Eri, bowed respectfully, put on a very humble posture, smiled and said: "Hello, sister, I will help Mr. Mori in the future."
Kisaki Eri was originally nestling in Mori's arms like a little bird, but when she saw Ritsuko showing her goodwill, her eyes changed slightly and she understood.
She glanced at Ritsuko lightly, then nodded slightly with the majesty of a queen, responding lightly to Ritsuko's respect.
She didn't say much, but her calmness and composure exuded the unshakable aura of a queen.
Maori noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere and gently patted Kisaki Eri's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to worry about it.
Then, he turned to Usui Ritsuko and gently encouraged her, "If you don't understand anything, you can always ask Eri. She will help you."
Usui Ritsuko understood and smiled slightly.
She understood that no matter how many women there were around Mori, Kisaki Eri would always be the unshakable existence - she was the queen of Mori, and her position as the main wife was unbreakable. She could only find a place in this huge harem.
Xiaolan jumped forward and took Maori's arm, with a playful smile on her face, and said with a smile: "Dad, I also want to become strong, like mom, so that I can help you!"
Maori was overjoyed when he heard this. He touched Xiaolan's head affectionately, his eyes full of pride and satisfaction.
He was genuinely proud of his daughter.
Usui Ritsuko stood aside, looking a little surprised.
She always thought that Kisaki Eri was the only unshakable existence around Mori, but she didn't expect that Mori also had another "princess" - Xiaolan who occupied a higher emotional position.
Ritsuko sighed inwardly, it seems that besides Kisaki Eri, there is another person she needs to care about, Mouri Ran.
Just then, Lawyer Mikasa and Lawyer Shiozawa walked out of the room, their faces still showing the fatigue of just waking up.
They looked around and found that Saku was gone, so they asked curiously, "Where is Lawyer Saku?"
Usui Ritsuko's tone was not friendly, and she said coldly: "He tried to kill me last night, but was captured."
After hearing this, the two of them widened their eyes in shock.
Mori briefly explained what happened last night, mentioning Saku's motives and the mistakes he made.
Mikasa and Shiozawa looked at each other and sighed, "Saku is so stupid. It's not worth it to have come to this."
Now that the matter was settled, Mikasa and Shiozawa politely took their leave.
Usui Ritsuko also followed them and went to deal with her own affairs.
The hotel gradually became quiet. After Kisaki Eri and Maori were affectionate for a while, she looked down at her watch, sighed softly, and stood up helplessly. Her whole person instantly changed from the appearance of a little woman to the majestic and cold "Queen of Law".
"I have work to do,"
She said to Mao Li with a hint of apology, "I have to leave now."
At the hotel entrance, Xiaolan hugged her mother and said goodbye reluctantly.
Kisaki Eri gently touched her hair, then turned and left.
Xiaolan quickly turned to Maori, hugged his arm, and asked expectantly, "Dad, where are we going next?"
Conan on the side yawned, rubbed his eyes and said lazily: "I just want to go home and sleep."
He didn't get enough rest last night and was obviously very sleepy.
Mao Li also nodded, indicating that they were also ready to go home and rest.
Just as they were about to leave, an orange car suddenly rushed over out of control. The woman in the car was obviously in a very bad condition. Her face was pale, and her hands were shaking, as if she would faint at any time.
Her hands holding the steering wheel dropped limply, but the car did not slow down at all and rushed straight towards the Maori family.
Maori's eyes flashed and he reacted immediately.
He grabbed Xiaolan and Conan and quickly pulled them out of the driveway.
Xiaolan exclaimed and her heartbeat accelerated instantly.
Conan also looked alert and immediately realized that the situation was not good.
Maori stared sharply at the out-of-control car, which was going at a very high speed and was about to hit the outer wall of the hotel.
Just then, Xiaolan nervously called out, "Dad!"
She looked at Maoli anxiously. Maoli took a deep breath, rushed to the front of the car, leaned forward slightly, and his momentum instantly condensed.
The power of the Golden Bell burst out from his body, and a faint golden light suddenly appeared around his body.
He held his hands firmly up, ready for the onslaught that was to come.
"哐——!"
With a loud bang, the car was stopped by Mao Li's hands at the critical moment.
The huge impact force was instantly resolved by his palm power, and the car stopped in front of him. A pair of deep handprints appeared on the hood of the car.
The air was filled with the faint smell of motor oil and burned tires, but Maori stood in front of the car, unharmed.
The woman in the car was suddenly awakened by this scene, her face pale, and she looked at Maori at a loss.
She pushed open the car door in panic and staggered out, her face full of fear and helplessness.
Just as she got out of the car, Maori's nose moved slightly and he smelled a strange smell.
He frowned slightly, his eyes quickly scanned the woman's expression and condition, and he vaguely guessed something in his heart.
However, he did not say anything immediately. He just calmly withdrew his strength and slowly lowered his hands from the hood of the car.
"Are you OK?"
Maori asked calmly, beginning to observe the woman in front of him.
Chapter 257 Beauty Designer
Maori looked carefully at the beautiful woman in front of him who was still in shock.
Her short brown wavy hair swayed slightly in the morning light, with naturally curled ends, making her look soft and artistic.
She was wearing a pink sweater, the design that fitted her body highlighted her elegance and refinement. Her facial features were extremely delicate and beautiful, with a hint of softness between her eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and natural lip color.
She wore a thin necklace around her neck, which accentuated her slender neck.
Maori's eyes fell on her hands and noticed that she was wearing an engagement ring on her middle finger. Her fingers were slender and white, as if they had been carefully maintained for many years.
She's quite a beauty.
Maori sighed.
"Are you OK?"
Maori asked with concern. There was still some fear in the woman's eyes, but she forced a smile, her voice trembling a little: "I... I'm fine, thank you."
Her voice was soft and touching, but it was slightly disturbing.
"My name is Taniguchi Chie (PS: the setting has been modified, so the original name is Taniguchi instead of Yoshino), and I'm a flower designer."
She said softly, looking somewhat at a loss, "Excuse me, who are you...?"
"Kogoro Mori is a detective."
Mao Li nodded slightly and introduced himself, and Chie Taniguchi reacted immediately.
"Ah! That famous detective..."
Mao Li nodded, looking at her frightened appearance, he felt a little sorry, "Ms. Taniguchi, it looks like you need to rest for a while, I'll help you park the car first, Lan, kid, take Miss Taniguchi to the hotel to get some food."
"Hi, Dad."
Xiaolan hurried over and gently took Chie Taniguchi's hand, while Conan quickly ran to the hotel restaurant to place an order.
Chie Taniguchi apologized and thanked Kogoro Mori repeatedly, her eyes full of gratitude and apology. Her speech was a little hurried, as if she had not yet fully recovered from the danger she had just experienced.
Mao Li helped Chie Taniguchi park the car. Instead of getting out immediately, he checked the car's air conditioner and frowned slightly.
Then he got out of the car and walked towards the hotel restaurant.
In the restaurant, Xiaolan had ordered a hot drink for Chie Taniguchi so that she could sit down and rest.
Chie Taniguchi held the cup gently with her fingers, and the heat spread in front of her, relieving some of her tension.
Chie Taniguchi gradually relaxed and expressed her gratitude to Maori, Xiaolan and Conan.
After taking a sip of the hot drink, her expression relaxed a lot and she began to introduce herself.
"I'm currently a teacher at a floral design school. I have to drive to Shizuoka for classes five days a week, but I have a break today, so I'm here."
"Ha... driving to Shizuoka every day? That's too tiring."
Mao Li raised his eyebrows. This is equivalent to going to work across provinces.
"It's nothing, you just get used to it."
Chie Taniguchi smiled slightly, "I have already called my fiancé, and he will be here soon. He is an insurance salesman, and his company is near this hotel. I came here today to find him."
There was a hint of sweetness in Chie Taniguchi's words.
"Ms. Taniguchi is already engaged? What a surprise."
Maori felt a little regretful. She was obviously a great beauty and it would have been better if she hadn't been engaged.
"Although I'm engaged, I'm a very traditional woman after all. My fiancé and I agreed that we would do those adult things after we get married~"
Chie Taniguchi said shyly, holding her face in her hands. Xiaolan clasped her hands together to express her envy, "That's really great."
"Indeed, that's really great."
Maori touched his chin. He felt heartbroken at the thought that such a beautiful and pure girl was going to be taken away by another man.
Taniguchi Chie reacted, "Ah, you've been talking about me..."
She looked at the three people with a little apology: "I'm really sorry for what happened just now. I've been feeling dizzy lately, sometimes in pain and sometimes dizzy. I went to see a doctor, but the doctor said there was nothing wrong."
Taniguchi Chie gave a wry smile and said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe it's affected by the weather. It happens when it feels cold."
After hearing this, Xiaolan frowned slightly and looked a little worried.
She looked at her father and suggested, "Why not let my dad take a look? He is not only a detective, but also has some special experience in treatment."
Xiaolan recalled the time when her father helped her push the qi through the palace, and she was full of trust in Maori.
"Eh? Mr. Maori can also treat patients?"
Chie Taniguchi asked with some surprise, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Mao Li smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I can try."
"Then...please."
Chie Taniguchi said softly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Kogoro Mouri is not only a famous detective, but also handsome and calm, which makes her trust him and willing to rely on him.
Mao Li nodded slightly and said seriously, "Ms. Taniguchi, please give me your hand and I will take your pulse. This is a diagnostic technique passed down from the Eastern Dragon Country."
He said it so seriously that Chie Taniguchi stretched out her hand without any hesitation.
Mauli held her wrist and began to feel her pulse carefully.
His brows gradually furrowed, and he felt an unusual pulse at his fingertips.
Chie Taniguchi seemed to have been poisoned by a strange poison, the same toxin that he had just detected in the air conditioner in the car.
Maori's expression became solemn as he was thinking about how to explain this discovery to Chie Taniguchi.
Just then, a man came over in a hurry.
When he saw Mao Li holding Taniguchi Chie's hand, his face instantly turned pale and he asked angrily, "What on earth is going on?"
Mao Li calmly let go of Taniguchi Chie's hand, stood up and asked calmly: "Who are you?"
The man looked very angry, staring at Mao Li and asked bluntly: "I was going to ask who you are, and how dare you hold my fiancée's hand!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Seeing this, Taniguchi Chie quickly stood up and explained, "Akira, you misunderstood. This is the famous detective Maori Kogoro. He just checked my body."
She turned to introduce Maori, "Mr. Maori, this is my fiancé Yoshino Akio."
When he heard the name "Mouri Kogoro", Yoshino Akio's expression changed quickly. The anger on his face faded, revealing a hint of nervousness and uneasiness.
