Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

She is Okano Toshika.

"Didn't I just ask you to bring Mr. Maori over? Who are these people?"

Okano Toshika said dissatisfiedly, with obvious displeasure in her voice.

Ozaki Midori quickly bowed her head and apologized. It was obvious that she was already familiar with Okano Rika's temper: "I'm sorry, Miss Okano, they are Mr. Maori's family."

Mao Li frowned slightly and said calmly: "These are all my family. If you have any problems with them, we don't have to talk about it."

Conan stood aside, quietly approached Huihara Ai, and asked in a low voice: "Is the flower arrangement artist very good? Why does this woman look so arrogant?"

Ai Huihara glanced at Okano Rika and said calmly, "This is what happens when one's virtue does not match one's position. Compared to Okano Rika, Miss Taniguchi Chie who follows Uncle Mori is more like a world-class artist."

Okano Toshika heard the dissatisfaction in Maori's tone and snorted. Although she seemed extremely reluctant, she still muttered a few words as a reluctant apology.

She waved her hand, signaling Ozaki Midori to show Mori what she brought.

Ozaki Midori took out a piece of paper and handed it to Maori.

Mao Li glanced at it and saw a death threat letter made up of words cut from various newspapers and magazines. The content read: "The flower of death will bloom in the Red Flower Beach Hotel."

Maori narrowed his eyes slightly, and became somewhat alert.

The Honghua Seaside Hotel is the luxury hotel where they are now, and this death threat letter is obviously directed at Okano Toshika, and the intention is very obvious.

However, Okano Rika was extremely disdainful of this. She said arrogantly: "Actually, I think we should ignore it. It might be a prank. I don't have time to waste on these things."

Ozaki Midori seemed a little worried and advised carefully: "Just in case, let the famous detective Mr. Maori take a good look."

Just as Maori was reading the threatening letter, the hotel manager Shiraki Daisuke pushed open the door and walked in.

His expression was particularly dissatisfied. He looked directly at Okano Rika and said straight to the point: "Ms. Okano, I heard that you received a threatening letter. Tonight's banquet has already involved many people. You are not going to cancel it, are you?"

There was obvious worry in Bai Mu's tone. He knew that if he canceled the banquet under such circumstances, as a hotel manager, he would definitely be scolded by the hotel owner.

Okano Toshika frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then calmly replied, "No changes, the plan remains the same."

Manager Bai Mu seemed very satisfied with this answer. He nodded slightly and his tone became a little more relaxed. However, his words still revealed a hint of superiority: "Since you have become the world's leading flower arrangement artist, you must not forget the Red Flower Group that has been supporting you all this time."

Okano Rika's expression froze slightly at this moment. She forced a smile and said perfunctorily, "I won't forget it."

"That's good."

Manager Shiraki laughed, turned around and left the room with satisfaction.

Chapter 264 Another Death

Maori stood aside, his eyes inevitably falling on the flower pinned on Manager Shiraki's chest. It was a bud that had not yet bloomed, and it gave off a vaguely unsettling feeling.

After Manager Shiraki left, Xiaolan frowned slightly and muttered in dissatisfaction: "What an unpleasant guy."

Ozaki Midori sighed softly and explained, "Manager Shiraki is the representative of the Red Flower Group, and he also admires Ms. Okano's flower arrangement very much."

However, Okano Rikko said coldly: "He only has a few stinky bucks and thinks he can buy art! I feel sick just by looking at his face!"

Her tone was full of disgust, and she was obviously extremely disgusted with Manager Baimu's attitude.

Interesting, it seems that just as Chie said, there is a big hand behind Okano Torikara's world-class award.

Maori touched his chin and looked at Okano Rika with interest.

Okano Rika rubbed her temples, looking a little tired, and said lightly: "I'm tired, Cui, take Mr. Maori and the others away."

Ozaki Midori nodded immediately, turned to Maori, and said apologetically: "Mr. Maori, I'm really sorry, please go back to the banquet hall first."

Maori shrugged his shoulders to indicate that it didn't matter, and then took Xiaolan, Conan and Ai out of Rika Okano's room and returned to the banquet.

But this time, those surrounding Mao Li were no longer high-ranking officials and celebrities, but a group of young girls who were attracted by his handsome appearance.

They pretended to be reserved when talking to Maori, but some of them were obviously deliberately revealing something in an attempt to attract Maori's attention.

Seeing this, Xiaolan felt jealous, so she simply walked up to Maori and started pestering him, trying to use her daughter's identity to "drive away" those girls.

A moment later, a waiter with a serious expression came up to Mao Li and whispered, "Mr. Mao Li, could you please call Manager Shiraki? It's time, but there's no response when we knock on the door."

Maori raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded in agreement.

Conan immediately felt that something was wrong and followed quietly.

"Dad, Conan? Wait for me!"

Xiaolan picked up Xiaoai and quickly followed. Xiaoai was speechless and muttered in her heart: In fact, she just came to eat and really didn't want to get involved in solving the case.

They came to the door of Manager Shiraki's room, and Mao Li tried knocking on the door, but there was no response from inside.

The waiter explained nervously: "I saw Manager Bai Mu enter the room with my own eyes, and he never came out. I called, and the phone rang in the room."

"The situation may not be good..."

Conan thought silently, raised his head, and said in a cute tone: "Uncle, do you have a spare key? We can go in and take a look..."

However, before Conan could finish his words, Maori had already casually kicked the door open. The door, which was originally extremely sturdy and required the combined efforts of several people to break open, was easily broken open by him.

Maori stepped inside, and Conan sighed helplessly, "Okay, no thanks. What kind of monster is Uncle Maori?"

……

When Maori and his group entered the room, the scene before them made them feel uneasy.

Manager Shiraki lay on his back on the sofa, motionless, with a bright yellow tie wrapped around his neck. He looked lifeless.

The tie was tied very tightly, obviously someone had strangled him from the front.

Maori immediately asked Xiaolan and Xiaoai to stand aside and began to carefully inspect the scene. Conan naturally followed secretly and started to observe.

Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived at the scene with his men.

Seeing Maori there, Megure couldn't help but tease: "Brother Maori, wherever there is a case, you are there, just like the god of death."

Maori shrugged and said nothing more.

Inspector Megure carefully observed the scene and began to reason: "It seems that the deceased was strangled to death with a tie from the front. And from the situation at the scene, the victim did not seem to put up much resistance, which means that the murderer may have great strength, probably a big man."

Mao Li shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

He pointed at Manager Bai Mu's hands and said, "Everyone, take a close look at his hands. There is no sign of struggle. This means that he may have fallen into an unconscious state before being strangled to death."

"Or maybe the murderer's power is really beyond that of an ordinary person."

Maori stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

Conan, Xiaolan, Inspector Megure and others turned their attention to Mori, and then looked at the door that was kicked open by Mori.

Well, they all thought at the same time that there really was such a person with extraordinary power.

However, Maori's strength obviously cannot be inferred according to common sense. They should first look for similar large suspects at the scene.

The police immediately began investigating, and soon they found an oversized professional wrestler named Katagiri the Python.

In order to further investigate, Inspector Megure immediately took him to the crime scene.

The tall figure of the python Katagiri stood in front of everyone like a small mountain. It was at least two meters tall and its weight was extremely astonishing, giving people a sense of oppression.

When he saw a group of policemen surrounding him and treating him as a suspect, his face immediately darkened and he looked very dissatisfied.

"What! I'm not full yet! Why did you bring me here?!"

He shouted in a gruff voice, his voice as deafening as thunder.

Mao Li looked at the giant wrestler in front of him and couldn't help but click his tongue, thinking: "Is there really such a guy?"

Seeing this, the python Katagiri became even more displeased, and he muttered, "I don't have time to play with you policemen."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. However, Inspector Megure saw this and quickly signaled the police officers to stop the python Katagiri from leaving.

But the python Katagiri was extremely powerful. He pushed the policemen away one by one with his hands without any effort, as if he was shooing away flies.

The situation was now somewhat out of control, and everyone realized that this big guy was not someone that ordinary people could deal with.

At this moment, Maori put his hands in his pockets, walked up to the python Katagiri with a calm expression, and looked at him calmly.

The python Katagiri frowned and glanced at Maori, growling in dissatisfaction: "Are you going to stop me too?"

He reached out towards Mao Li disapprovingly, trying to push him away as well.

However, to everyone's surprise, Maori easily stretched out a hand and firmly grasped the python Katagiri's wrist.

The python Katagiri immediately felt a huge force coming from Maori's hand, like an unshakable mountain.

He exerted all his strength, his face flushed, trying to break free from Maori's grasp, but he was unable to move him even a little.

"Calm down and accept the questioning!"

Maori spoke calmly and twisted his wrist. The huge body of the python Katagiri lost its balance in an instant like a tree blown up by a gust of wind, and was thrown to the ground by Maori with a dull crash.

Everyone at the scene was shocked. The visual impact of this scene was so strong that it was almost unbelievable.

A wrestler of such a huge size was subdued by Maori so easily.

The python Katagiri lay on the ground, looking up at Maori in a daze, as if he couldn't believe that he would lose so easily.

Chapter 265 Uncle Maori, I will definitely be faster than you this time

After the python Katagiri was easily subdued by Mori, his originally dissatisfied expression quickly turned into cowardly one.

He looked at Mao Li's calm expression and realized that the man in front of him was not an ordinary person.

The python Katagiri lowered his head, his voice filled with a hint of helplessness: "Okay, I give in. I will cooperate with your investigation, but you have to give me a contact method later. You are very strong."

"No problem at all."

Maori smiled, and Inspector Megure walked up and began to ask about the whereabouts of the python Katagiri.

After some confirmation, it was discovered that he had indeed stayed in the banquet hall and eaten to his heart's content, and had never left the scene.

This means that he has a strong alibi, ruling him out as a suspect.

Maori and the inspector looked at each other, it was obvious that this clue was wrong.

Mao Li withdrew his thoughts and turned his attention back to the body of Manager Shiraki.

He walked around the corpse and his eyes finally fell on the flower on Manager Baimu's chest.

Maori thought about it carefully and realized that the flower on Manager Shiraki's chest was tightly closed before, but now it has bloomed.

"It seems that this is it."

Maori lowered his head, leaned close to the flower and sniffed it gently, his brows instantly furrowed.

He smelled chlorine fluoride, a chemical that could quickly make people sleepy.

If Manager Shiraki was strangled while he was unconscious, then even a petite woman could have accomplished the act.

Women, the scent of flowers, the way flowers bloom...

Maori remembered the plot of the original work and immediately walked towards the rooms of Ozaki Midori and Okano Rika.

Conan noticed that Maori left, and he had an idea in his mind, so he immediately followed him stealthily.

He also smelled the smell of chlorine fluoride and immediately understood the key.

what.

The woman is the criminal?

Uncle Maori has gone to find the criminal?

Damn it, I'm going to catch up!

Conan gritted his teeth and chased out. When he arrived, he saw Maori standing at the door of Ozaki Midori and Okano Rikka's room, as if waiting for something.

Conan approached gently, and Maori saw him at a glance and made a "hush" gesture to him, signaling him not to make any sound.

The two stood at the door, pricked up their ears, and listened quietly to the movements in the room.

Okano Rika's smug laughter could be heard from the room, as if she didn't care about the world around her at all. She held up a glass of champagne, as if she was celebrating something big: "That guy is finally dead! He was just a stepping stone for me to grow, but he still wanted to control me. Good death, wonderful death, hahaha!"

When Ozaki Midori heard her words, she immediately nervously advised: "Teacher, keep your voice down, or someone will hear you."

"Shut up!"

Okano Rikka scolded harshly, her eyes piercing towards Ozaki Midori like knives, "You just need to be my assistant, okay? You have to figure out who you're relying on for a living now!"
