Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Ozaki Midori turned pale with fright and quickly bowed her head to apologize, not daring to say anything else.

Outside the door, Conan couldn't help but feel his heart tighten when he heard these words. He held his forehead and groaned inwardly.

"What a horrible woman."

He accidentally bumped into the door, making a slight sound and making him grimaced in pain.

Okano Rika, who was inside the house, immediately became alert and asked nervously, "Who's outside?"

Conan was startled and quickly shrank behind Maori.

Maori glared at him, grabbing Conan and throwing him aside, and said in a deep voice: "I, Maori Kogoro."

The door was opened, and Ozaki Midori poked her head out with an apologetic look on her face: "Mr. Maori? What's the matter? Have you found the criminal?"

Mao Li glanced around the room calmly and saw Okano Rikka sitting there with an excited look on her face. "No, it's just that Ms. Okano is going to go on stage, so I came by to inform you."

Upon hearing this, Ozaki Midori showed an embarrassed look on her face.

"Yes! Thank you very much, we will prepare it right away!"

She didn't know whether Maori had heard what Okano Rika had just said, so she could only force a smile and hurriedly pulled Okano Rika to leave.

Okano Toshika's face was full of arrogance, and she did not hide her contempt for Maori at all.

She glanced at him with disdain, pushed him away and walked out, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.

Maori looked at her departing back with a deep gaze.

Conan crept into the room and looked around cautiously.

His eyes finally fell on an inconspicuous box, and his heart suddenly moved.

He squatted down, carefully opened the box, and sure enough, he found some chemicals inside - chlorine fluoride and silicon chloride.

When he saw these things, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly called Mao Li to come and check it out.

Maori walked over, looked down at the things in the box, and frowned.

The evidence was so clearly laid out there that the criminal seemed to have no intention of covering it up.

"Damn it, was it really Okano Rikka who did it?"

Conan muttered under his breath and continued to examine the box.

He noticed that there was an ice tray at the bottom of the box. When he opened it, he saw frozen chlorine fluoride ice cubes inside.

Conan's mind worked quickly and he realized that Okano Rika might still be planning to continue harming people.

Thinking of this, he immediately decided to take action. He said something hurriedly to Mao Li and ran out quickly.

Conan ran very fast, his heart full of nervousness and excitement.

This time, I must be faster than Uncle Maori. Let me stop Okano Rikka!

Conan's eyes quickly swept across the banquet scene, and began to look for whose flower on the chest was closed.

However, Maori's thinking is completely different.

He did not follow Conan's footsteps, but turned and walked directly to the backstage.

……

When Mao Li found Ozaki Midori backstage, she was busy preparing flowers, holding a spray bottle in her hand, carefully spraying something on the flowers.

She was so absorbed in her work that she didn't notice Maori approaching. Maori's deep voice suddenly rang out: "Ms. Ozaki."

Ozaki Midori was startled, her hands shook, and she almost dropped the spray bottle on the ground.

She hurriedly hid the things in her hand behind her, forced a smile, and asked, "Mr. Maori, why are you here?"

Maori walked slowly to her side, his eyes fell on the closed flowers, and his tone was gentle and meaningful: "These flowers are so beautiful, from buds to perfect blooms, such a romantic idea, the person who can think of it must be a very gentle person."

When Ozaki Midori heard this, she was stunned and stared at Maori blankly, as if her thoughts were suddenly revealed.

Mao Li continued, "Okano Rika is not such a gentle person. She was able to come up with this unique way of flower arrangement, probably because something extraordinary happened."

"..."

Ozaki Midori pursed her lips and said nothing. Maori slowly turned to face Ozaki Midori and asked directly without any preparation: "Ms. Ozaki, why did you kill Okano Rika?"

Chapter 266 I Want You

Hearing Maori's question, Ozaki Midori trembled all over, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She forced herself to remain calm and stammered, "Mr. Maori, what are you talking about? Why would I want to kill Miss Okano?"

Mao Li shook his head slightly and said calmly: "Since you don't admit it, let me guess."

"I guess this avant-garde flower arrangement art with blooming flowers was not invented by Okano Rika at all, but a technique she stole from someone else."

"This person must have a deep relationship with you, right? She was supposed to be a true artist, but because of Okano Rika's conspiracy, she was deprived of everything. Her life became miserable because of this, and she is even... no longer alive."

Ozaki Midori's face turned pale instantly, and her lips trembled slightly. Maori looked at her directly, and said in a heavy voice: "I think this person is most likely your relative, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be willing to give up everything, even to die with Okano Rikka."

"We will die together..." Ozaki Midori's voice was low and hoarse. She lowered her head, her hands trembling slightly, and asked, "Mr. Maori, how did you know?"

Mao Li looked at her calmly and replied, "Inside the room, I found evidence of your crime. You didn't try to hide it at all, precisely because you knew there was no need. Once these beautiful flowers bloom, Okano Riko, who arranged the flowers, and you, who were also standing on the stage, will both die at the same time."

A trace of pain flashed in Ozaki Midori's eyes. She smiled bitterly and listened to Maori continue.

"You put frozen chlorine fluoride into flower buds. As the room temperature rises, they will slowly bloom and release poisonous gas. Manager Shiraki died because of an experiment you conducted, and the results proved that your method is completely feasible."

Maori picked a flower casually.

Ozaki Midori sighed and raised her head, her eyes full of fatigue and despair: "Mr. Maori, since you already know everything, are you going to take me away?"

She knew that Mao Li had once overturned Katagiri, who was as strong as a python, with his bare hands, and she had no chance to resist him. She did not struggle, nor did she intend to escape her fate.

However, Mao Li unexpectedly shook his head, "No, I can help you."

Ozaki Midori was stunned. She didn't expect Maori to say that.

There was a hint of uncertainty, even hope, in her eyes, but more of confusion: "Help me? Why?"

Mao Li looked at her calmly and said calmly, "Because I want you."

Ozaki Midori was stunned, as if she didn't fully understand what Mori meant.

While she was still confused, Maori had already rubbed the petals he had just picked, and a faint scent instantly filled the air.

Ozaki Midori's face changed drastically, and she quickly reached out to stop Maori's action, shouting in horror: "No! This flower is poisonous!"

But Maori didn't care and took a deep breath of the scent of the petals, as if he was enjoying it, and then grinned: "It tastes good."

Ozaki Midori was completely stunned. She widened her eyes, her heart filled with shock and disbelief: "Is this person a monster?"

Mao Li didn't care about her reaction and continued, "I want you to partner with Chie Taniguchi and contribute your talents to the Beidou Group. Of course, I also want you - not only your talent, but also you as a person."

Ozaki Midori was speechless for a moment. She had never met such a person before - someone who was not afraid of poison, could see through her mind, and yet wanted to keep her by his side.

She didn't know how to respond and could only stare blankly at Maori in front of her, as if everything in front of her was challenging her cognition.

Mao Li's eyes were calm and firm. He said slowly, "I can help you get rid of the crime, but you must obey me completely in the future, become my woman, and fight for the Beidou Group. Also, I need everything about the Honghua Group. As Okano Rikko's assistant, you should be very familiar with the Honghua Group."

Ozaki Midori's originally nervous expression gradually relaxed.

Mao Li put his conditions on the table so bluntly that the hidden worries in her heart disappeared.

This is a deal - a deal where both parties benefit.

She understood that as long as she became a Maori woman, the transaction would not only go smoothly, but would also bring her more security.

Thinking of this, Ozaki Midori no longer hesitated, bowed slightly, and whispered: "I understand, Mr. Maori, I agree."

Mao Li looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's collect a deposit first."

He took a step forward, hugged Ozaki Midori, and kissed her without hesitation.

Ozaki Midori's eyes widened and her cheeks instantly turned red.

Mao Li then took out his cell phone and took a selfie of the two of them kissing, apparently to record this moment.

After they separated, Ozaki Midori was still somewhat dazed. She gently touched her lips and murmured in a low voice: "This is... my first kiss..."

Mao Li put away his phone with satisfaction, turned his gaze to Ozaki Midori, and said with a hint of tenderness: "Since this is your first kiss, you should cherish our cooperation even more. Believe me, follow me, you won't regret it."

Ozaki Midori took a deep breath and tried to calm her accelerated heartbeat.

She knew that she had no way out and had to keep going.

"I will do my best, Mr. Maori. I will compile the information about the Red Flower Group as soon as possible and give it to you."

Mao Li nodded and told her: "The performance tonight will still go on as usual. You don't have to take any more risks. I will take care of the rest."

Ozaki Midori nodded slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She had originally faced all this with the determination to die together, but she didn't expect that the appearance of Maori completely changed her plan.

Now, she must place all her hopes on him.

"I understand, Mr. Maori, everything will go according to your arrangement."

Mao Li pinched her cheek gently and smiled: "Just do it, I will protect you."

Ozaki Midori felt the warmth of his palm, and an indescribable sense of security rose in her heart.

Maybe the man in front of her is not only her salvation, but also her only support in the future.

Mao Li turned around and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he stopped and whispered, "Remember, no matter who asks you about the case, you must completely deny it."

Ozaki Midori looked at his back and nodded slightly: "Yes, Mr. Maori."

Maori walked out of the room with a complete plan in mind.

Now, just put all the chess pieces in the most appropriate positions step by step.

Chapter 267: Spanking Conan

Conan ran around the banquet, his eyes constantly scanning the flowers on everyone's chest.

He anxiously searched for the closed flower, firmly believing that if he found it, he would discover the next victim.

However, after running for a long time, he did not see any closed flowers, which made him begin to waver and doubt whether his judgment was wrong.

While Conan was hesitating, preparations for the performance had already begun on the stage.

Ozaki Midori looked calm as she directed the waiters to carefully carry the flowers onto the stage.

At this time, Rika Okano also walked onto the stage, smiling and preparing for her flower arrangement performance.

Conan didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when his eyes fell on the flowers on the stage, his heart sank.

Those closed flowers are all on the stage!

For a moment, Conan felt extremely uneasy. His heartbeat quickened, and he ran towards the stage without hesitation.

He understood that danger would come once Okano Rika's performance began.

The performance started as scheduled, and Rika Okano slowly picked up the flower branches and demonstrated her flower arranging skills.

Her performance skill lies in making flowers that have not yet fully bloomed fully bloom in an instant, which is the "creativity" she is most proud of.

The audience in the audience was so absorbed in appreciating her performance that they were unaware of the potential crisis.

Conan looked around, anxiously searching for a way to prevent this disaster.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a bottle of refrigerant not far away. He grabbed the refrigerant without hesitation and ran towards the stage.

He knew he had to act before the flowers bloomed, or it would be too late.

When Ozaki Midori saw Conan's actions, she was slightly stunned and instinctively wanted to step forward to stop him.

However, Maori's deep voice rang in her ears: "Don't move, and stop Okano Rika from taking action. Let Conan do it."

Ozaki Midori was stunned for a moment, but then put down her hand and stood there silently.

Although she was full of doubts, she chose to trust Mao Li's judgment.

At the same time, Conan rushed onto the stage, holding the refrigerant tightly, and sprayed it at the closed flowers without hesitation.
