It's really true... even a child can understand it? !
Orei Xue's face flushed, but she couldn't say a word.
The living room suddenly fell into an awkward and depressing atmosphere.
Kogoro Mori picked up the teacup and took a sip. His expression remained calm, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, okay, don't take it so seriously." Mao Li said slowly, his voice gentle and calm. "Mystery novels are meant to entertain readers, right? When you write, you don't have to pay too much attention to small details like this."
His words were light and casual, but for some reason they made Orei Xue's heart tremble.
His eyes flickered, as if he was forcibly suppressing some unwilling emotions. Finally, he nodded and whispered, "Yes... Mr. Maori is right."
But no one noticed that his fists hanging under the table were clenched tightly, and his knuckles were slightly white...
Chapter 332: Sleepy Uchida Asami
At this time, the kitchen door was gently pushed open again, and Uchida Asami walked out with a smile on her face, carrying a large plate of exquisite meals and a gorgeously decorated three-layer birthday cake.
Behind her followed Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran, who were also holding plates.
Xiaolan also had a happy smile on her face, while Kazuha was holding the tableware and desserts with a smile on her face.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting!"
Uchida Asami's clear voice broke the silence in the hall. She carefully placed the cake in the middle of the table and asked gently, "What happened just now? Everyone's expressions are so serious."
Maori Kogoro put down his teacup and laughed: "Nothing, just talking about everyone's works. I have to say that each of you has your own unique writing style. I think they are all quite good after reading them."
"really?"
Uchida Asami blushed shyly after hearing this. She smiled shyly and said, "Mr. Maori is not only a famous detective, but also a consultant for the Beidou Group. He has done in-depth research on various works. We are all lucky to receive guidance from Mr. Maori!"
Hearing what Uchida Asami said, the other members of the literature club suddenly became excited and expressed their gratitude with smiles, their faces full of pride and honor.
After all, for young people who write mystery novels, it is an extremely honorable thing to get comments from a famous detective.
"Actually, I want to thank Xiaolan."
Uchida Asami turned to look at Xiaolan with a smile on her face. "Hey?" Xiaolan was suddenly called out and was stunned for a moment, "Why me?"
"If you hadn't helped me invite Mr. Maori, he wouldn't have come to my birthday party today."
Asami Uchida folded her hands, looking shy and coquettish, which was very lovely.
Hearing this, Xiaolan scratched her hair shyly and said with a smile: "Actually, Senior Sister is very honorable. Dad just happens to have no plans today..."
"Mr. Maori is the savior of Tokyo. He has such a busy schedule, but he is able to take time out of his busy schedule to come here. This is a great honor for me."
Asami Uchida's tone was sincere and grateful. As she spoke, she smiled in the corners of her eyes, lowered her head and pursed her lips slightly, as if trying to hide her overly excited emotions.
At this time, Orii Yuki, who was sitting nearby, stood up and quickly walked to Uchida Asami's side. With a flattering smile, she took the plate of dessert from her hand and said, "Asami, let me help you carry it. Let the boys do this kind of thing."
"Ah, thank you, Orii-senpai."
Uchida Asami paused, looked up at him, a distant light flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled politely and courteously, "But no, this is my birthday party, I want to entertain everyone myself."
She cleverly avoided the hand that Orii Yuki extended and handed the plate to Maori Kogoro beside her. "Mr. Maori, this dessert is very special. Could you please help me taste it and see if it suits your taste?"
Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly when he took the plate: "Oh? Then I won't be polite."
Orii Yuki stood aside, frozen in embarrassment.
His smile froze instantly, his expression turned a little ugly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Although Uchida Asami's attitude remained gentle and kind, she was clearly distancing herself intentionally.
All these details did not escape everyone's eyes - especially Maori.
He keenly caught the changes in Orii Yuki's expression and felt something was wrong.
At the same time, Uchida Asami was carrying a few plates of food to distribute to other people. Orii Yuki still tried to help, but every time he came forward, Uchida Asami was able to skillfully avoid his touch in a relaxed and natural manner, and instead smiled from time to time and asked Maori Kogoro to help deliver the food.
This made Oreijue Xue's face even gloomier, and a hint of hidden anger gradually welled up in his eyes.
Soon, the meal and dessert were placed on the table and everyone sat around it.
Candles were lit on the three-layer birthday cake, and the warm candlelight shone on everyone's face.
Asami Uchida stood in front of the cake, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and gently made a birthday wish. The candle flame swayed gently in the breeze, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if with a hint of girlish shyness and expectation.
"Happy birthday, Asami!"
Xiaolan, Toyama Kazuha, Hattori Heiji, Conan, and several other members of the literature club said in unison.
"thank you all."
Asami Uchida opened her eyes, smiled brightly, and blew out the candle with a gentle wave of her hands.
"Happy birthday!" Everyone sent their blessings, and for a moment, the hall of the villa was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was warm and warm.
At this time, Orii Yuki stood up, holding up a glass of orange juice, with a subtle smile on her face: "Asami, happy birthday to you. I specially made a special glass of orange juice for you, come and try it!"
"Ah, thank you."
Asami Uchida didn't think much about it, took the orange juice, and took a sip with a smile.
There was a strange hint of pride in Zhe Jingxue's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly without being noticed.
"Asami, how about this orange juice?"
He asked softly, with a hint in his tone.
Uchida Asami nodded and licked her lips gently: "It tastes good, Orii Yuki, thank you!"
"Haha, that's good..."
Oreijingxue chuckled softly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Everyone started cutting the cake and sharing it.
The cake was very delicious and the atmosphere in the whole restaurant was quite harmonious.
After finishing her meal, Uchida Asami still looked energetic with a bright smile on her face.
"Okay, how about we all go sing karaoke together for the second half of the game!"
Orii Yuki made a suggestion and everyone readily agreed, but Uchida Asami, who was packing her things, suddenly paused and her eyes seemed a little dazed.
"Senpai?"
Xiaolan stood beside her and looked at Uchida Asami in surprise. She rubbed her eyes and the cake plate in her hand trembled and almost fell.
"No, it's okay... I... feel... a little sleepy?"
Uchida Asami yawned several times, her eyes half open and half closed, and she murmured, "Mr. Maori, I'm sorry, why don't you guys go play first, I may need to sleep for a while."
She put down the things in her hands and said to Xiaolan apologetically: "Xiaolan, please clean up for me. I don't know why I feel so sleepy."
After saying that, Uchida Asami lay down and fell asleep.
At this moment, Zhe Jingxue revealed a sinister smile, and the smug look in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
"Asami-chan… I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do this…" He murmured softly, a malicious sneer on his face.
Chapter 333: Helping Uchida Asami Absorb the Toxin
When Uchida Asami's body suddenly lost strength and she collapsed on the table like a withered flower, everyone was shocked by this sudden change.
She leaned quietly on the armrest of the sofa, her eyes closed, her breathing steady and shallow.
Xiaolan quickly squatted down, patted her shoulder nervously, and called out anxiously: "Senior! Senior! What's wrong with you?"
Conan and Hattori Heiji also hurried forward, their eyes full of confusion and vigilance.
They leaned over and observed Uchida Asami's condition.
She did not have any unusual expression at this moment, but her face was a little pale, and she was in a deep sleep.
"She...what's wrong?"
Yuanshan Heye was also surprised, and his eyes kept looking back and forth among the crowd.
Ori Xue looked indifferent at this time, and shrugged her shoulders standing aside: "Oh, don't worry, she is probably tired."
He smiled casually, "Asami has this old problem. She will fall asleep suddenly when she is tired. Just help her to the sofa and let her sleep for a while. It's okay."
"Is this really okay?"
Xiaolan frowned and stared at Uchida Asami's unconscious face worriedly, with an uneasy feeling lingering in her heart.
"Of course, no problem."
Ori Xue smiled with a relaxed look on her face, "This is just her old problem. We don't need to be too nervous. Why don't we go and do something else first? It won't be too late to continue celebrating her birthday after she wakes up."
But Xiaolan shook her head, still looking at Uchida Asami with concern, and said firmly: "No, we can't let the senior sister rest here alone. She is the birthday girl today! And..."
She suddenly seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at her father, "Dad, don't you know medical skills? How about you help me?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Maori Kogoro raised his eyebrows slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Then, he smiled meaningfully and nodded: "Ah - yes, Dad, I do know some unique treatments. However, there is a rule for this treatment. No one else can see you when you are performing the treatment."
Oreijing Xue's expression froze for a moment. He stood there, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long while, he tried to force out a dry laugh: "Um... is it really necessary? I think she is just tired, and she just needs to take a rest. There is no need to make such a fuss, right?"
Maori Kogoro just glanced at him calmly, smiling: "Oh, no need to bother. If such a beautiful lady faints, of course I have to take a good look at her."
"Could it be that, Orii-san, you think that Miss Uchida's recovery will have an impact on you?"
A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Orijui Xue's forehead. He felt vaguely uneasy, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled dryly: "Okay, okay... If you insist, then thank you for your help."
Seeing this scene, Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other at the same time, with doubt and vigilance flashing in their eyes.
They quietly went behind Orijui Xue and watched his every move closely.
Although Orii Yuki pretended to be relaxed, his palms had already begun to sweat, and his eyes kept glancing at Uchida Asami who was lying on the sofa, as if he was secretly weighing something in his mind.
"Xiao Lan, He Ye, you two wait here first."
Kogoro Mouri walked to the sofa, bent down slightly, and gently picked up Asami Uchida from the sofa.
"Wow - Dad..."
Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaimed. Maori Kogoro used an extremely skilled and elegant posture, passing his hands through Uchida Asami's armpits and knees, and easily picked her up.
He held Uchida Asami firmly in his arms, carrying her like a petite porcelain doll.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
Maori gave his daughter a reassuring smile, then carried Uchida Asami towards the villa's guest room.
Orii Yuki stood there, looking at Maori's back with complicated eyes. His fists were quietly clenched at his sides, as if he was trying hard to suppress some emotion.
……
When Kogoro Mori put Asami Uchida on the bed in the guest room, the lights in the room were dim and soft.
Asami Uchida's body was gently placed on the soft mattress. Her breathing was still steady, but her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was trapped in a dream that she could not escape.
Maori gently lifted the strands of hair from her forehead and felt her pulse and breathing with his fingertips.
After a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly and began to carefully check her physical condition.
As the Qi Pushing Movement progressed, his gaze gradually became solemn.
"really……"
Maori murmured in a low voice. He felt that there were trace amounts of dirty drugs left in Asami Uchida's body - they were sleeping pills.
Although the drug was not too toxic, it was enough to put her into a deep sleep.
"This guy……"
A cold light flashed in Maori's eyes, and he immediately decided to take action.
He bent down slightly, placed his hands on Uchida Asami's abdomen, and began to slowly push the breath inside her body.
As the Tui Qi Guo Gong technique was performed, the medicinal components in Asami Uchida's body were gradually guided to the oral cavity.
