He suddenly roared, as if all the resentment and unwillingness in his heart burst out at this moment: "It's all that old man's fault! He forced me to do it! He never looked down on me! I've done so much for him, but he still refuses to treat me as a family member... I just want to end it all!"
Maori looked at him coldly, without any sympathy in his eyes.
He slowly walked up to Yagura Morio, his eyes as cold as ice: "So, you killed him?"
Yagura Morio roared, "He should have died long ago! He didn't let me make the decision, didn't give me a chance... He asked for it!"
Mao Li snorted coldly, with a trace of disdain in his eyes: "Idiot. You will never understand how much he values you. You are just a loser who only knows how to vent his resentment."
Yagura Morio was suddenly stunned, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
He slumped in the chair, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if he was completely broken.
Mao Li turned to look outside the door and ordered coldly: "Yokomizo, take him away."
Inspector Yokomizo pushed the door open and saw this scene. He immediately ordered his officers to handcuff Yagura Morio. Yagura no longer had any strength to struggle, and just hung his head dejectedly.
Yokomizo looked at Mori with admiration in his eyes: "Mr. Mori, you have solved the mystery again."
Maori waved his hand, signaling Yokomizo to take the person away.
He picked up the teacup again, leaned back in his chair, and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if all this was just an ordinary investigation.
Sonoko looked at Maori with admiration, gently took his arm, and whispered, "Uncle Maori is really amazing."
Maori smiled and looked out the window.
The lake was blood red in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the wind blew, creating ripples that seemed to bury all the sins beneath the calm surface of the water.
Chapter 379: Kaito Kidd's Notice Letter
The next evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the streets of Tokyo.
Ding ding - as soon as the school bell rang, Sonoko excitedly pulled Xiaolan to the Mouri Detective Agency.
Along the way, she chattered excitedly, talking about what happened yesterday with the Aonoki clan.
"You didn't see it, Xiaolan!"
Sonoko stretched out her tone and said happily, "Your father is just like a hero! He saw through the truth of the secret room at a glance, and Inspector Yokomizo and the others were all scared silly!"
Xiaolan couldn't hide her inner pride while listening: "Is it really that amazing?"
"of course!"
Sonoko put her hands on her hips with pride, "Those people from the Aonoki family were quarreling like fighting cocks, but your father took action and found the murderer in a few words! That Yagura Morio confessed on the spot!"
"Wow……"
Xiaolan's eyes sparkled, and she looked ahead in admiration, "Dad is so awesome?"
"Hey," Sonoko lowered her voice with a mysterious look on her face, "Let me tell you, he's not only good at solving cases, but also at solving those cases with the women of the Aonoki family..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized that she had almost let the cat out of the bag, and quickly coughed to cover it up, "Well, anyway, he is extremely charming!"
When the door of the Mouri Detective Agency opened, Kogoro Mouri was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper with a cup of tea.
Seeing the two girls come in, he glanced at them casually, then continued to drink tea: "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened today?"
Xiaolan threw herself on the sofa and said with a smile: "Sonoko said that dad was very handsome when he solved the case yesterday! It's a pity that I didn't see it, what a pity!"
Conan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but mutter: "Another case solved when I was away..."
He curled his lips and looked at Maori with envy.
Maori coughed lightly and tried to look indifferent: "It's nothing, just a small matter." But his heart was bleeding.
——The little brat Conan is not here, and the system task has not settled his completion roulette, which is equivalent to a waste of 100 million!
Thinking of this, Maori felt so painful inside that he wanted to pinch himself.
At this time, Huiyuan Ai, who was sitting in the corner, yawned and said nonchalantly: "School life is quite interesting. At least I can watch those little brats running around."
There was a gleam of gloating in her eyes. "It's quite interesting to see a detective having a headache every day."
Conan's mouth twitched: "Hey, Huiyuan, do you have to be so happy?"
Huiyuan smiled faintly: "This is called moral support."
Sonoko suddenly squeezed in between the two of them and said with a grin, "Anyway, you'll soon have a chance to see Uncle Maori show off his might again!"
Xiaolan asked in confusion: "Why?"
Sonoko paused for a moment pretending to be mysterious, then smiled and said, "Grandpa Suzuki Jiro spent a lot of money to buy a 'Black Star' for my mother. Guess what happened?"
"Kaito Kidd is targeting you?"
Conan immediately became alert, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"That's right!" Sonoko nodded vigorously, "To ensure everything goes well, Mom wants to invite Uncle Maori to catch Kaito Kid."
She patted Maori's shoulder and said, "How about it, Uncle Maori, are you ready to make another contribution?"
Maori touched his chin and smiled, "Haha, what's that kid Kaito Kidd? As long as I take action, he can't escape!"
What's the point of asking herself to catch Kaito Kid just to be on the safe side? It's just that this little bastard Suzuki Tomoko is a little bit arrogant and wants to be chopped hard by the big sword.
How much does a black star cost? She doesn't even feel bad if it's stolen.
Conan leaned against the sofa with his arms folded, looking at Maori and Sonoko thoughtfully.
He had a vague feeling that this operation would not be as simple as Maori thought.
Kaito Kidd is not easy to catch, and his appearance often means there is a more complicated conspiracy behind the matter.
"Dark Star..."
Huihara Ai also showed a hint of interest, "What a strange name, I wonder why Kidd is interested in this gem."
Sonoko shrugged. "No matter what, with Uncle Maori here, Kid will definitely be able to find out! Maybe we can even solve a big case!"
"Humph."
Maori snorted deliberately with pride and crossed his arms, as if he had seen Kid being caught by him.
Conan narrowed his eyes slightly and made up his mind: "Uncle Maori may not be reliable, but I will definitely meet Kid in person!"
……
A few days later, Sonoko rushed into the Mori Detective Agency, waving a piece of paper in her hand and shouting excitedly: "Uncle Mori! I received the warning letter from Kaito Kid!"
Kogoro Mouri was leaning lazily on the sofa and yawning.
Hearing Yuanzi's voice, he slowly opened one eye, took the notice letter and glanced at it.
"Aprilfool, when the moon separates the two, under the name of the dark star, follow the invitation of the wave to receive it - Kaito Kidd."
Mao Li finished reading the letter and threw it on the coffee table: "Oh, I see."
"Ah? You've cracked it?"
Sonoko's face was full of surprise, with admiration shining in her eyes, "Uncle Maori is really amazing!"
"Yeah." Maori nodded lightly, raised his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, as if this matter was just a piece of cake for him.
Xiaolan, who was standing by, saw the letter casually thrown on the coffee table. She picked it up and looked at it carefully, but after reading it for a long time, she was still confused: "What does 'the moon separates the two' mean? What does 'the invitation of the waves' mean?"
Conan hurried over and read the notice letter carefully several times with a frown on his face. Words like "moon, dark star, wave" swirled in his mind like a mystery, but for a moment, he couldn't make any clues.
"Did Uncle Maori really crack it? Why haven't I figured it out yet?"
He couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart. Could it be that Uncle Maori's reasoning skills had really surpassed his own?
Just when Xiaolan and Conan were confused, Sonoko quietly moved to Maori's side.
She sneaked over and kissed Maoli gently on the lips, then whispered, "Uncle Maoli, I missed you so much."
Mao Li smiled and reached out to pinch her: "Me too, but don't let them find out."
Yuanzi nodded playfully, smiling contentedly like a child who had stolen candy.
Maori put down the teacup leisurely and coughed lightly, attracting the attention of Xiaolan and Conan: "Anyway, we will go to the museum on March 3st and guard the 'Dark Star' at that time."
Chapter 380: Museum and the Dark Star
"October 3th?"
Conan repeated in a low voice, thinking, "That is, the day before April Fool's Day. Kaito Kid's announcement should have a double meaning... It makes sense to arrange it in advance."
As he pondered, he felt that Maori seemed to be really prepared this time, which made him surprised and suspicious: Could Uncle Maori really be trying to be clever?
Seeing that the two of them were still struggling with the contents of the notice letter, Sonoko sneaked back to Maori and whispered in his ear: "Am I being good?"
Mao Li smiled and raised his hand to gently rub her head: "Well, good girl."
Sonoko stood aside with satisfaction, picked up her hair and played with it around her fingertips, as if nothing had happened.
"So, the day before April Fool's Day is indeed a critical moment..."
Conan muttered, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.
Xiaolan tilted her head and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out the meaning of the notice letter. She could only say trustingly: "Then let's listen to Dad's arrangements."
……
On March 3, the Rice Flower Museum was brightly lit and surrounded by layers of police force, creating a tense atmosphere.
Maori Kogoro took Xiaolan and Conan into the museum. As soon as they entered the hall, they heard Yuanzi's lively voice coming from a distance.
"Uncle Maori! Here, here!"
Yuanzi waved at them excitedly and trotted over.
Her smile was like the sunshine of spring, and she excitedly took Mao Li's hand and said, "Come on, I'll lead the way for you."
Maori followed Yuanzi to the center of the exhibition hall. In this gorgeous exhibition hall, a dazzling gem, the "Dark Star", was quietly displayed in the center of the platform, and the surrounding display cabinets were wrapped in thick bulletproof glass.
At this time, Shiro Suzuki was greeting Inspector Ginzo Nakamori who was in charge of this operation.
He was all smiles and nodded from time to time, while Inspector Nakamori stood there with his arms folded, looking impatient.
Tomoko Suzuki sat aside with an elegant demeanor.
She glanced vaguely at the night outside, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
When she saw Maori and his group coming, her originally indifferent expression immediately showed joy. She stood up and took two steps towards Maori.
However, she seemed to realize that her enthusiasm was a bit too much, and she quickly coughed to cover it up, and put on a dignified posture: "Mr. Maori, you are finally here."
Maori laughed in his heart, "This woman looks like a noble lady in front of others, but in front of me...she looks like a little bitch."
Suzuki Tomoko's enthusiasm caught the attention of Suzuki Shiro, who immediately trotted over and bowed respectfully to Maori: "Mr. Maori, we are relieved to have you here this time."
Mao Li smiled and said, "No, no, I'm just joining in the fun."
Inspector Ginzo Nakamori, who was standing nearby, immediately frowned when he saw Mori coming.
He didn't like detectives interfering in his father's cases, so his tone was full of obvious hostility. "Oh, it's Mr. Mao Li."
Mao Li had a faint smile on his face and raised his hand to greet him: "Inspector Nakamori, long time no see."
Nakamori Ginzo snorted coldly, his eyes revealing disdain: "Humph, you detectives just love to meddle. Our police have arranged everything perfectly, so you don't need to worry about catching Kaito Kidd."
Mao Li's smile did not diminish. Instead, he said slowly, "Inspector, isn't the security a bit too much this time? Isn't it just Kaito Kidd?"
"What do you know!"
Nakamori Ginzo glared at him and clapped his hands on his arms. "No matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious with that cunning Kidd! This guy is full of tricks. If you are careless, he will escape!"
Mao Li couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this: "Haha, okay, okay, since the inspector is so confident, let's wait and see if Kid can be caught."
Nakamori snorted coldly and glared at Maori: "It's best not to cause trouble."
Conan stood aside, silently observing the layout of the exhibition hall. The glass cabinets were surrounded by police officers, and even traces of infrared sensors could be seen on the ground, indicating that the police had made thorough preparations this time.
"Can Kidd really succeed this time?"
Conan thought silently in his heart.
Xiaolan held Maori's arm and looked around with a smile: "Dad, are you going to help catch Kaito Kid this time?"
"Of course," Maori patted his chest confidently, "With me here, that Kidd can't escape even if he has wings."
Sonoko smiled secretly, nudged Maori with her elbow, and winked: "Uncle Maori, you will definitely show your skills this time, right?"
Maori smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery in his eyes: "Don't worry, Sonoko, we won't let Kid succeed this time."
