Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

If his memory serves him correctly, this Mari Terahara is the murderer, right?

She knew I was a detective and invited me to their box. Why?

"Well, it's decided, okay? Detective Maori? Please."

Mari Terahara took two steps forward, held Kogoro Mori's hand, and there was a pleading look in her eyes.

Maori Kogoro was slightly stunned, and finally nodded, "Let's go, let's go together!"

Tatsuya Kimura brought Kogoro Mori and others to his box. When he opened the door, a man and a woman were already sitting inside.

Seeing Kogoro Mori and his group coming in, the man looked up and nodded slightly, while the woman smiled politely.

And Tatsuya Kimura walked aside, poured himself a glass of wine, glanced at the two men with a bit of disdain in his eyes.

"Ms. Terahara, they are..."

The man and woman inside were obviously the "friends" that Tatsuya Kimura mentioned. After looking at Tatsuya Kimura helplessly, the man looked at Kogoro Mori and his group and asked Mari Terahara.

Mari Terahara suppressed her embarrassment and introduced the two parties with a smile: "These two are members of our rock band, drummer Katsumi Yamada and guitarist Mieko Shibazaki, and this is the famous detective Kogoro Mori, and..."

Before she could introduce the others, Katsumi Yamada stood up and exclaimed to Kogoro Mori, "Oh, so you are Detective Mori! I was just watching your reasoning, it was amazing!"

"Are they all your friends, Detective Maori?"

Upon hearing this, Kimura Tatsuya immediately revealed a mocking smile and said coldly, "Yamada, open your eyes and look carefully. The two people following Detective Mori are both top female stars. They are no match for a lousy drummer like you!"

Katsumi Yamada also noticed Yoko Okino and Yuko Ikezawa, smiled awkwardly, and said nothing more.

Shibazaki Mieko coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Everyone is here to relax, Tatsuya, stop saying such things, are these Mr. Mori's wife and children?"

"How young!"

"No...no!"

Mao Lilan heard Shibazaki Mieko waving her hands repeatedly, and her cheeks flushed as she said, "My name is Mao Lilan, and I am my father's daughter..."

"This child was placed in our home by a relative..."

"Ah, sorry, I didn't know..."

Mieko Shibazaki was about to cry. She originally wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere, but it seemed to have made it even more awkward.

"No...it's okay."

However, Ran Maori's favorability towards Mieko Shibazaki has increased a lot.

"What an idiot. You can't play the guitar well, so your eyesight is also bad?"

Kimura Tatsuya sneered and gulped down the wine in his glass. "Ms. Xiaolan is so beautiful. You can tell at a glance that she is Mr. Mori's daughter!"

Now, Ran Maoli, who was a little happy just now, started to feel a little unhappy with Tatsuya Kimura.

"Yes...I'm sorry."

Shibazaki Mieko apologized repeatedly, and Kimura Tatsuya put down his glass with a bang and stood up. "So, it is the right choice for me to leave you and go solo! You are a bunch of rubbish, blind and ugly, and you are totally holding me back!"

"What do you say, Mr. Maori?"

Kimura Tatsuya came in front of Maori Kogoro and said in a slightly drunken tone: "I think a handsome man like you is my best partner. When the time comes, I will release an album specifically for you. You solve the case in the front and I will accompany you in the back. The two of us can make the whole Neon famous! Hahaha!"

"Tatsuya...you're drunk!"

Mari Terahara walked over anxiously, stepped past Kogoro Mori, and held Tatsuya Kimura, putting her hands on his arms.

Kogoro Maori frowned slightly and looked down at Mari Terahara.

Although the smell in the KTV was very strong, Kogoro Mori, whose senses were far beyond those of ordinary people, still smelled a very faint scent of bitter almonds on Mari Terahara.

Combining my own memories, I'm afraid that Mari Terahara has cyanide in her hands that can cause poisoning and death.

Consistent with the original novel, the person she wanted to kill was Tatsuya Kimura.

But if that was the case, why did she let herself come to this box?

Obviously, killing someone without a detective would make her chances of being caught much lower.

"Get away! You ugly bastard! Don't touch me!"

Kimura Tatsuya pushed Terahara Mari out with a flick of his hand and yelled unhappily: "You are the one I hate the most in the entire team!"

"ah!"

Mari Terahara screamed, lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground.

Just as she was about to touch the ground, Kogoro Maori stepped forward and held her in his arms.

Chapter 31 Mr. Maori, stop me!

Mari Terahara leaned on Kogoro Mori's warm and broad chest, still in shock, and the grievances in her heart suddenly burst out.

"Ms. Terahara, are you okay?"

Kogoro Maori lowered his head and asked gently, his eyes full of concern.

Mari Terahara looked up at Kogoro Mori with tears in her eyes. A complex expression flashed across her eyes, and finally she became resolute.

She pushed Maori Kogoro away, tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Maori... in every aspect."

Kogoro Maori was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood why she asked him to come to this box.

If it worked, she hoped she could catch her.

If it didn't work out, she wished she could stop her.

"What are you doing? How can you hit a girl?"

Mao Lilan was already unhappy with the yellow-haired guy, so she stepped forward and questioned him.

Naturally, Yuko Ikezawa and Yoko Okino followed immediately, surrounded Tatsuya Kimura and began to denounce him.

With Mr. Maori here, they are not afraid of the top male star Tatsuya Kimura.

What's more, he looks so shabby that he seems to be out of fashion.

Seeing this, Kimura Tatsuya became even more upset and roared angrily: "What are you doing! He is my own agent, you can bully him however I want!"

"Then you are wrong!"

Maori Kogoro snorted angrily, "Everyone has his or her own dignity and reputation, even if they are assisting you as your agent or teammate, that's the same!"

“Without the nutrients of the soil and the foil of green leaves, how can there be the beauty of flowers?”

"A band is supposed to be a group that supports each other. Everyone comes together through their own choices. It's your decision to go solo, but disrespecting your teammates will only make you seem more lonely and helpless!"

"I'm sure you wouldn't have gotten far without your teammates!"

Kogoro Mouri's voice was deafening, even drowning out the noise in the KTV.

The guitarist and the drummer both had tears in their eyes, and Mari Terahara was crying so hard that she couldn't even speak.

"What do you know? The lead singer is the soul of the band! It doesn't matter if we replace the others!"

Kimura Tatsuya roared fiercely, "Isn't that the case with you, Okino Yoko, Ikezawa Yuko!"

"And you ugly bastard Mari Terahara, are you hooking up with this old man?"

"You really pounce on a handsome man just because you see one. How shameless!"

"I don't!"

Mari Terahara clenched her fists, tears welling in her eyes, and her voice gradually lowered, "The one I have always liked... is you..."

But you hurt me, hurt me, and hurt me again and again!

I really don't want to kill you...

Mr. Maori, help me, stop me!

Mari Terahara almost bit her lips until they bled, and she looked up at Kogoro Mori.

What you wanted to say has been conveyed. Maori Kogoro gently hugged Terahara Mari and whispered to comfort her: "It's okay, leave everything to me. You don't need to pay such a high price for a man like him."

"Instead of sacrificing everything for him, why not give your future to a more worthy man."

Tears rolled down Mari Terahara's cheeks. She looked at Kogoro Mori steadily. After a moment, she nodded while sobbing, "Mr. Mori, I understand..."

"That's good."

Maori Kogoro touched Mari Terahara's hair, let her go, and stretched out his hand, "Ms. Terahara, please give me the things."

Mari Terahara pursed her lips and handed a bottle of clear liquid to Kogoro Mori.

The extremely perceptive Conan immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the bottle, and immediately started to think, "Is this poison? Could it be that Miss Terahara Mari wanted to kill someone? And Uncle Maori found out before she killed anyone and stopped her?"

Conan looked at Mouri Kogoro in disbelief. Mouri Kogoro shook the bottle, opened it and took a slight sniff.

Sure enough, there was a hint of bitter almonds, and I felt dizzy and nauseous after smelling it, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.

This is the almost colorless and odorless highly toxic substance, potassium cyanide!

It can volatilize in the air, deliquesce in humid air and release trace amounts of hydrogen cyanide gas with a slightly bitter almond smell.

It is indeed a deadly weapon.

"Uncle Maori, what is that? Can you show it to me?"

Conan didn't smell anything, but he came closer with a serious expression and said in a cute way.

Maori Kogoro glanced down at him and said with a half-smile, "The bottle in my hand is poison. If a child smells it, it will be poisoned to death. Are you sure you want to smell it?"

What a liar.

Conan rolled his eyes. What kind of poison can kill people just by smelling it?

But it is not difficult to guess from Uncle Maori's tone that this bottle of liquid is indeed very dangerous. Otherwise, considering his nature of liking to bully others, he would have poured the liquid from the bottle into his own mouth long ago.

"Wow, so scary..."

Conan pretended to be scared and sat back, but his eyes were always fixed on Mari Terahara.

Who is her target of murder?

Is that Tatsuya Kimura?

The motive is indeed clear.

But what Conan couldn't understand was how Uncle Maori had found the murderer before the murder happened?

"Suppose this is a bottle of poison, just treat it as potassium cyanide."

Maori Kogoro took the bottle of liquid, put one hand in his pocket and walked in front of Kimura Tatsuya who looked unhappy. "If, I mean if, you eat it, then it will only take a few minutes for you to suffer from intracellular asphyxiation due to the inhibition of respiratory enzymes."

"Mr. Mao...Morri, what do you want to say?"

Tatsuya Kimura looked at the bottle of liquid in Kogoro Mori's hand with a somewhat frightened look, and then looked at Mari Terahara, whose eyes were obviously filled with murderous intent.

"Well, don't worry."

Maori Kogoro patted his shoulder and said, "I'm just giving you some basic knowledge about medicine."

He turned around and spoke slowly, "Generally speaking, drug poisoning is divided into four stages. At the beginning, you will feel your breathing speed up and deepen, and you will feel weak all over and have a headache."

Tatsuya Kimura's breathing became rapid and his heart began to beat faster.

"Soon, you'll enter a period of dyspnea, during which you'll find yourself unable to breathe, your blood pressure will rise rapidly, and your skin and mucous membranes will turn bright red."

Tatsuya Kimura really felt that breathing was a little difficult, the air became thinner, and he tried hard to breathe in and out.

Maori Kogoro turned around with a half-smile and patted him on the body. "Then there will be the convulsion stage, with symptoms of convulsions, coma, and respiratory failure."

Tatsuya Kimura was startled by the slap. He swallowed hard and his legs began to tremble.

"Finally, you reach the paralysis stage, at which point your muscles relax, and your breathing and heartbeat completely stop."

"Game over~"

Maori Kogoro showed a handsome smile, "Regrettably, you will die within two minutes after taking potassium cyanide, and there will be no time to rescue you."
