Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

"Humph! Your reasoning is complete nonsense!"

Hattori waved his hand impatiently, "I think that this body is Kanie, and Kameda is the real murderer! He killed Kanie on purpose and made us think that this body was him!"

"What a surprise! This is the first time we've encountered such a conflict of reasoning since we met, right?"

Conan looked at Hattori Heiji with a strange expression, and Hattori nodded, "Yeah, it looks like we can compete this time."

"You two..."

Mao Li, who had come up to the two of them at some point, gave each of them a slap on the face, "You two, shut up!"

"Now is not the time to argue!" Maori said in a low and cold voice, "What we should do now is not to argue with each other, but to search this ship thoroughly!"

Mao Li's eyes were sharp, "Check all possible hiding places! Find the murderer!"

Conan and Hattori looked at each other, then nodded at the same time.

Although both of them still had expressions of unconvinced expression on their faces, they had temporarily suppressed their prejudices.

"Hi, Uncle Maori!"

The two answered in unison.

At this moment, suddenly, Jing Jing next to him shouted loudly, his face full of fear and anger: "How long do you detectives want us to torment you? I've had enough!"

His voice was filled with hysterical despair. He grabbed his hair with both hands, and his emotions were close to collapse: "Can't you just end this quickly? I... I really can't stand it anymore!"

Maori frowned, looking at Kujirai who was out of control, a trace of doubt flashed through his mind.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him coldly: "Mr. Kujira, why are you so scared?"

"I...I didn't..."

Jingjing stammered and shook his head, but his expression had completely betrayed him. His eyes were wandering, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his whole body was trembling like a prey that was cornered.

Mao Li smiled slightly, his eyes full of inquiry: "Do you know something?"

Kujira took a step back, his lips trembling: "No... no, I don't know anything... I..."

Mao Li stared at him and said word by word: "Then tell me everything you know - otherwise, the murderer's next target may be you!"

"me……"

Under Mori's gaze, Kujirai dejectedly told the truth.

It turned out that he had received a letter earlier, asking him to wait at the stern.

It’s just that Kujirai left early because he was too scared.

That is to say, if Shan Jing had been at the stern of the ship, it was very likely that he would have exploded along with it when the explosion occurred!

Therefore, Kujira was quite scared.

Maori frowned slightly. He knew that everyone was really fed up with following him and the detectives and policemen around. Even Xiaolan and Kazuha were a little tired.

He sighed and led everyone back to the lounge.

"Then everyone should wait in this lounge and don't run around!"

Maori spoke to everyone, Conan and Hattori Heiji thought it was natural, not to mention Xiaolan and Kazuha.

On the contrary, Samezaki Shimaharu was somewhat dissatisfied, "Mori, if you can't take action, I can't find clues!"

"Yeah, yeah! We want to go back to our room too!"

Jingjing was already scared and wanted to lock himself in the room.

Isogai Nagisa and Ebina also wanted to say something, but at this time, Mori suddenly spoke.

"I'll say it again, the situation right now is extremely dangerous! Each of you could be the next target!"

Maori frowned and spoke in a deep voice, his aura was quite fierce.

Isogai Nagisa and Ebina were also shocked by Mori's momentum.

Isogai Nagisa's eyes flickered with anxiety. She rubbed her hands subconsciously, wanting to say something but couldn't open her mouth.

Ebina hung his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, looking even more timid and helpless.

"Mr. Maori, I...I really just want to go back to my room to get something..."

Ebina's voice was as thin as a mosquito's, but it still sounded very abrupt in the silent lounge.

As if he was afraid that Maori would misunderstand him, he quickly added: "It's just, it's just to get some medicine... I don't mean anything else..."

Mao Li raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "Medicine? You didn't say you needed medicine before."

There was a hint of suspicion in his tone, as if he was examining the small man in front of him, trying to see what he was hiding.

Ebina was frightened by his gaze and took a half step back, waving his hands repeatedly: "I, I really need medicine. I... I have a heart disease. If I don't take medicine... I might have a heart attack..."

As he spoke, he swallowed hard and his face turned as pale as a piece of paper.

Maori's expression softened slightly, but he still didn't completely let down his guard.

He was silent for a moment, then turned to the others: "Okay, I'll go with you to get the medicine. As for the others——"

Maori turned his gaze to Kujirai, his eyes filled with sharp questions.

The noise and anger had subsided, but Jingjing's face was still full of irritation and fear. He clutched the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Mr. Kujirai, do you have anything else to say?" Maori asked calmly.

Kujirai shook his head violently and stepped back repeatedly: "No...No! I don't want to say anything...I just...I just can't stand this feeling anymore! You detectives, one after another, quarreling here, I-I'm almost going crazy!"

He suddenly shouted loudly, his voice filled with hysterical despair.

Mao Li looked at him coldly and did not respond immediately.

He quickly analyzed the situation in his mind. Kujira's behavior was too abnormal, and his emotions fluctuated so violently that it was obviously not just because of nervousness and fear.

Did he really know something? Or was he hiding something?

"Mr. Kujirai, if you really want to rest, go to the lounge and rest."

Maori's voice remained calm, but the command in it could not be ignored. "But I warn you, don't do anything rash."

Jing Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.

He pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but finally turned and left.

Xiaolan looked at his back and frowned slightly: "Dad, is he really okay?"

Mao Li glanced at her, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He knew that Xiaolan was worried about Kujira's mood, but he couldn't express all his doubts.

"Let him rest first."

Mao Li said in a deep voice, "What we have to do now is to find the murderer hiding in the dark as soon as possible - before he continues to attack!"

Xiaolan nodded. Although she was still uneasy, she chose to trust her father's judgment.

Chapter 318: Mr. Maori, Kiss Me

Mao Li looked at the others and said, "Everyone, I will accompany Ebina to the room to get something. The rest of you should stay in the lounge first. Please take care of each other and stay alert."

Everyone nodded helplessly.

Maori nodded and turned to look at Ebina: "Okay, lead the way."

Ebina once again lowered his head and slumped his shoulders, walking towards his room with slightly hesitant steps.

Maori followed him closely the whole time, his eyes never leaving the short man for a second.

There was no conversation along the way until they arrived at Ebina's door.

With trembling hands, Ebina took out the key and opened the door with a click.

"Please come in..."

He spoke in a low voice, looking very nervous.

Mauli nodded and walked into the room.

Ebina immediately bent down and took out the bottle of pills from the bedside table, quickly swallowed a few pills, then turned around and gave a stiff smile.

"Okay... I got it."

Maori was about to return with Ebina, when Ebina suddenly asked, "Um...Mr. Maori, can I take my briefcase with me?"

"I have to hold it to feel safe."

Maori looked back at Ebina. He was holding a metal briefcase in his hand. It looked very heavy and it was unknown what was inside.

Mao Li narrowed his eyes and asked Ebina, "You can take it back, but can you let me check it?"

As a result, Ebina's face changed and he said awkwardly: "This...Mr. Maori, this is my privacy, it's not easy to check, right?"

He hugged his briefcase tightly as if there was something precious inside.

Maori looked at him deeply, "I don't think you can take it with you without checking it, Mr. Ebina."

Ebina tried to explain himself, but Maori was determined, so he had to give up. He put down the box in his hand, and a gloom flashed in his eyes.

……

Maori and Ebina returned to the lounge. At this time, Isogai Nagisa also came over and pulled Maori and said, "Mr. Maori, I have to go back too. I found that my necklace is missing. Come with me to the room to look for it!"

Seeing that she was so anxious, Maori nodded in agreement and took Isogai Nagisa to her room.

Who would have thought that as soon as the two entered the room, Isogai Nagisa pulled Mori and fell on the bed.

"Mr. Maori... I'm so scared... Can you hug me?"

Maori frowned, feeling a little overwhelmed by Isogai Nagisa's sudden action.

He was pulled by her and fell on the soft bed, his body slightly stiff. There was a bit of fear and panic on Isogai Nagisa's face, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes, as if it was extreme fear, and as if there was some secret.

"Mr. Maori... I'm really scared..."

Her voice was soft and trembling, and like a weak and helpless deer, she leaned on Maori's shoulder and pressed her whole body against him.

Maori felt a faint scent of perfume coming towards him. The scent was not strong, but it had a sweetness that was refreshing.

He hugged her subconsciously. Isogai Nagisa hugged Mori tightly as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw, tears in her eyes and her expression was sad and resentful.

"Mr. Maori, you are a great detective, right? Only you can protect me..."

Her voice was weak and lingering, and she spoke almost word by word, as if she was expressing the fear and helplessness that had been suppressed in her heart for so long.

Isogai Nagisa stared at Maori without blinking, as if she was afraid that he would disappear at the next moment.

Maori took a deep breath and tried to regain control of his reason.

There was something not quite right about the way Isogai Nagisa (now with a shaky face) moved her clothes - she looked as if she was seeking protection, but there was an indescribable weirdness in this look.

Her actions seemed too intimate and too proactive, and did not seem like a simple request for help at all.

"Ms. Isogai, calm down for a moment..."

Maori tried to slow down his tone as much as possible, trying to make Isogai Nagisa relax a little.

"I know you're scared, but I need you to stay calm and tell me what happened? You don't have to panic just because you lost your necklace, right?"

Isogai Nagisa bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Maori timidly with a shy look on her face: "Mr. Maori, I... I'm afraid someone is staring at me. I feel like someone has been in my room, peeking at me... That necklace is the only relic my father left me. I saw it just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye..."

"Is someone watching you?"

Mao Li's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He stood up quickly, his eyes scanning every corner of the room sharply.

The room was very tidy. The carpet, curtains and bed were all spotless, and there seemed to be no signs that anyone had touched them.

"Ms. Isogai, please tell me more details. Are you saying that you saw the necklace just now, but now it has disappeared?"

Maori narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously.

Isogai Nagisa seemed to become even more nervous because of his seriousness.

She lowered her head and whispered, "Yes...just before I left the room, I clearly put the necklace on the dressing table...but when I wanted to take it, it...it suddenly disappeared..."

Isogai Nagisa said this with a choked voice.

Maori frowned at her, thinking about the possibilities in his mind.

The room looked closed and safe, with the windows closed and the door locked, and it didn't look like anyone had ever been in.
