Terahara Mali on the phone should have claimed yes and started preparing immediately.
The dark cloud over the Morizono family seemed to have finally dissipated, and everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
The turmoil of the Morizono family finally ended, and Katagiri Kaede and Sakuraba Yuji also set out on their journey home.
……
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission: Gotei 5000! You have earned 21000 points, and currently have points left.]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest: Get the Universal Roulette 2 time! Currently accumulated 6 times! Do you want to draw a prize? ]
As the incident ended, the system also gave timely feedback.
Mao Li raised his eyebrows slightly. He had already accumulated 6 draws of the Roulette of All Worlds. However, there didn't seem to be anything urgent to deal with at the moment. It would be better to stock up until he had draws before drawing again.
In the past, when the number of times increased one by one, five consecutive draws were very suitable. Now that the number can be increased two by two, ten consecutive draws are also reasonable.
"Then sleep here tonight and go back tomorrow."
Maori was thinking contentedly, when his phone rang again. The number displayed on it was Mari Terahara.
He was slightly stunned and answered the phone: "Mari? What's wrong? Is there a problem with the arrangement just now?"
His voice was as calm as usual, but there was a hint of worry in his tone.
Mari Terahara on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, her tone gentle but with some concerns: "It's not a big problem, it's just..."
She didn't finish her words, and seemed to be hesitating about how to start.
Mao Li frowned and said in a slightly heavier tone: "Just say whatever you want to say, don't hide it."
Mari Terahara finally mustered up the courage and said slowly: "Mr. Maori, you have been busy solving cases recently, and you have hardly paid attention to the Beidou Group. Fortunately, you recruited some talents for the company before, but because they are all girls, the internal management of the company is a bit chaotic."
"Also, we are planning to shoot Titanic. All preparations are almost done, but the leading actress has not been decided yet. There are really a lot of things in the company waiting for you to handle."
Ah this...
After hearing this, Mao Li felt overwhelmed with guilt.
Recently, one case after another has left him no time to take care of Beidou Group. He remembered that he had frequently left the company for business trips and to solve cases, and it seemed that he had not really sat down to handle affairs for a long time.
Although most of the company's affairs were handed over to Mari, she also had her difficulties. After all, managing the entire group was not an easy task.
In particular, the management problems within the company caused by the fact that most of the employees are young females seem to require him to personally step in and solve them.
"Mari, thank you for your hard work."
Mao Li's tone was a little more apologetic. He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his brows. "I know you have been trying your best to deal with these things. I have indeed neglected a lot. Don't worry, starting tomorrow, I will stay in the company for a week and focus on handling the group's affairs. I will no longer go out to reason."
Hearing Maori's promise, Mari Terahara on the other end of the phone suddenly looked delighted: "Really? Mr. Maori, please don't change your mind at the last minute again!"
Mao Li smiled, patted his chest, and said firmly: "Really, I will definitely not break my promise. Starting tomorrow, I will do my best to help you deal with everything in the company."
Mari Terahara was obviously much more relaxed, and her smiling voice came through the phone: "Great, I'll wait for you to come back and deal with these things."
Just as Mao Li was about to hang up the phone, Mari on the other end of the phone suddenly lowered her voice and said shyly: "Actually... I miss you very much, and so do the other girls in the company... Come to the company early tomorrow."
When Mao Li heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
He nodded and replied softly, "Okay, I'll be there early, Mari."
After hanging up the phone, Mao Li took a deep breath, feeling the tranquility around him, and felt more at ease.
He knew that tomorrow he would need to return to another identity - the helmsman of Beidou Group, rather than the famous detective.
Chapter 294 Late Night Conversation
The night fell and the Morizono family mansion was silent.
Maori and his group were properly arranged into rooms, and Conan and Hattori Heiji were assigned to rest in the same room.
Late at night, Conan curled up in bed, already asleep, breathing steadily.
Suddenly, a cold hand silently covered his mouth.
Conan suddenly woke up, his eyes suddenly widened, his heartbeat accelerated, and his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
Under the dim light, a familiar face was right in front of him - Hattori Heiji. His sharp eyes revealed a hint of teasing and seriousness.
"Hush, be quiet, little brat."
Hattori Heiji lowered his voice, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a somewhat mysterious smile.
Conan's mind was in a mess. He tried to break free, but found that Hattori's hand showed no sign of relaxing.
Looking at Hattori's expression, he felt something was wrong and his eyes were full of questions.
"You know, I've always felt that you're a little weird, and today... I finally confirmed it."
Hattori gently released his hand that was covering Conan's mouth, sat back on the bed, crossed his arms, and said with a bit of pride, "I already know your identity, Kudo Shinichi."
Conan's pupils shrank slightly. Although he was shocked, he tried to remain calm and pretended to be childish. He said stupidly, "Hattori-san, what are you talking about? I'm Edogawa Conan, a child!"
"Still pretending?"
Hattori Heiji snorted, approached Conan, looked him straight in the eyes, and refused to back down.
"There are a few things I can't figure out, but I always feel that something is wrong with you. First, your reasoning style is exactly the same as that of the famous Kudo Shinichi. Second, how could a child like you have such a keen intuition about the case? Third, your knowledge of Tokyo and the way you speak are completely unlike an ordinary elementary school student."
Conan still pretended nothing happened, trying his best to hide his nervousness: "Brother Hattori, you really think too much, I just..."
Before he finished speaking, he noticed that Hattori's expression was becoming more and more confident, and he sighed inwardly, knowing that it would be useless for him to pretend any longer.
Finally, he sighed softly, lowered his head, and said with a bit of helplessness in his voice: "...Okay, I admit it, I am Kudo Shinichi."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Hattori suddenly burst into laughter, and leaned back in relaxation, his expression full of pride and teasing: "Hahaha! You actually admitted it! I was just making random inferences, and there was no solid evidence at all! I didn't expect that you would expose yourself!"
Conan was angry and annoyed for a moment, his eyes were full of fire, and he glared at Hattori fiercely: "You bastard!"
Hattori Heiji grinned even more happily, with a face full of teasing: "I originally guessed about the same, but I didn't expect... someone can really become smaller? Haha, Kudo Shinichi, unbelievable!"
Conan sat back on the bed unhappily, knowing that Hattori had completely seen through him, and no longer concealed anything. He sighed, "Well, since you know everything, I won't hide it from you anymore."
He then calmly recounted his experiences, how the Black Organization had fed him the poison APTX-4869, causing his body to shrink, and how he had been secretly investigating the Black Organization.
Hattori Heiji listened, stroking his chin with a frown on his face. "So, Uncle Mori also knows your identity, Kudo Shinichi? Is he also secretly investigating the Black Organization?"
Conan nodded, his eyes showing determination: "That's right, Uncle Maori has known my identity for a long time. And he has been in the open, while we are hiding in the dark. Let's work together to track down the clues of the Black Organization. We must eradicate this evil organization completely!"
Hattori Heiji patted Conan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will join you! Let's kill this black organization together!"
"But you still have to admit that your reasoning is weaker than mine! Hahaha!"
Conan jumped up immediately, "You're talking bullshit! Your reasoning ability is much weaker than mine!"
The two immediately started arguing.
……
At the same time, in Xiaolan and Heye's room...
However, neither of them felt sleepy. Instead, they lay on the bed and chatted about girlish things.
"He Ye, what kind of boys do you like?"
Xiaolan asked suddenly, with a hint of mischievous smile in her voice.
He Ye was stunned for a moment, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she quickly waved her hands to deny: "Hey? What are you talking about? I don't like any boys!"
Xiaolan smiled, her eyes flashing with cunning: "Really? Could it be... not Hattori Heiji?"
Hearing this, Heye hurriedly shook her head, her voice becoming a little annoyed: "Xiaolan, stop talking nonsense! How could that guy Heiji be possible! He is just a bad-tempered guy, I don't like him at all!"
Xiaolan quickly apologized. It seemed that Kazuha really didn't like Hattori Heiji. Her reaction was not shyness, but annoyance.
He Ye sighed, turned his head, looked at the ceiling, was silent for a while, and then slowly asked: "What about you, Xiaolan? What kind of boy do you like?"
This question stunned Xiaolan. Her face turned red instantly and her heart beat faster.
After thinking for a while, she whispered, "I... like the kind of boy who is steady and reliable, who can protect me when I need him, and who is also very intelligent and graceful."
He Ye's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask with interest: "Wow, a boy like this... You are so specific, do you already have someone you like?"
Xiaolan's cheeks turned even redder, and she nodded slightly, her tone revealing a bit of seriousness: "Well... Actually, I think there is no better boy in the world than Dad."
When He Ye heard this, his eyes widened instantly, his face full of surprise: "What? You are talking about...Uncle Maori?"
Xiaolan's face turned red like a ripe apple, but she still nodded firmly and looked out the window with soft eyes: "Well, although Daddy looks a little unserious sometimes, he is really reliable and very smart. Every time I encounter danger, he can always calmly think of ways to protect me... Moreover, Daddy is actually very gentle, but he is not very good at expressing it."
After hearing what Xiaolan said, He Ye couldn't help but be moved.
She thought about it and nodded seriously: "That's true, Uncle Maori is indeed a good man."
The two fell into a brief silence, and Maori's handsome figure involuntarily emerged in their minds.
They couldn't help but admire his calm demeanor, his composure in the face of danger, and his determination to protect his family.
Xiaolan and Kazuha were lying on the bed, each immersed in their fantasies about Maori.
Chapter 295 Five People in the Conference Room
The next morning, Kogoro Mori walked out of the room in high spirits, stretched, and prepared to go to Beidou Group to handle matters.
"Xiaolan, Conan, I'm going to Beidou Group. Will you come with me?"
Mauli asked.
Xiaolan and Conan were not very interested in visiting the Beidou Group, after all, they had been there before.
Xiaolan shook her head and said with a smile: "Dad, Conan and I should go home."
Conan also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Uncle Maori, we won't follow you."
At this time, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha walked over from the side.
Hattori seemed very excited, his eyes sparkling: "Hey, Uncle Maori, are you going to Beidou Group? I heard that it's very powerful, I must go and see it!"
Yuanshan Heye immediately followed and said curiously: "Wow, Beidou Group, I want to go too! Such a big company must have a lot of interesting things!"
However, Hattori and Kazuha's enthusiasm seemed to be on different channels.
Hattori Heiji turned around and said with a smile: "He Ye, what's the point of you going there as a girl? It's a business operation of a big company, not the kind of tourist attraction you think."
He Ye was immediately dissatisfied and pouted and retorted: "What do you mean! Girls can't be interested? I think you are the one who is too curious! I don't want to go with you!"
Hattori Heiji was not to be outdone: "Ha! Stop trying to be so arrogant. How much do you know about the company stuff?"
The two soon began to argue, neither willing to give in.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly tense, Xiaolan and Conan looked at each other helplessly.
Xiaolan sighed, walked over and took Kazuha's hand, and said softly: "Okay, Kazuha, let's go together, don't bother with Heiji."
Conan walked up to Hattori Heiji and said with a smile: "Hattori, forget it, don't provoke her anymore. Since she wants to go, just take her with you."
Hattori touched the back of his head helplessly. Although he was still mumbling, he didn't continue to cause trouble.
So, the four of them decided to follow Mao Li to visit Beidou Group.
Along the way, although Hattori Heiji and Kazuha quarreled from time to time, the atmosphere became much more harmonious with the mediation of Conan and Xiaolan.
After arriving at Beidou Group, the majestic office building came into view. The glass curtain wall glittered in the sun, full of modernity and technology. Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha stood in front of the building, their faces full of amazement and curiosity.
“Wow, it’s spectacular!”
He Ye's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to go in and take a look.
"Yes, this is not an ordinary company!"
Hattori Heiji also sighed. Although he usually liked to argue with Kazuha, he was also shocked at this moment.
Mao Li smiled and led them into Beidou Group.
As soon as Maori and his group entered the Beidou Group building, Mari Terahara came towards them.
She was dressed in an elegant business suit and had a warm smile on her face. When she saw Maoli, her eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement.
Mari Terahara walked forward quickly, unable to hide her joy in her tone: "Mr. Mori! You're finally here!"
Behind Mari Terahara were Akiko Hanai, who was in charge of public relations, Ritsuko Usui, who was in charge of legal affairs, and Midori Ozaki, who served as Mari Terahara's deputy.
The three girls were all very excited to see Maori, their eyes full of affection.
