Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the Rice Flower Museum became more solemn.

Inside the exhibition hall, police were busily moving back and forth, with infrared sensors laying an invisible net throughout the venue.

The reputation of Kaito Kidd makes everyone dare not be careless.

As usual, Conan ran back and forth in and out of the exhibition hall, observing every detail.

He carefully checked the sensors and monitoring equipment on the ground, and occasionally went behind the display cabinets to study the layout when the patrolling police were not paying attention.

"This is so weird... Where should Kidd start?"

Conan frowned, his eyes full of thought.

Even Sonoko and Xiaolan, who were originally indifferent to these things, were infected by the tense atmosphere.

Sonoko held Xiaolan's hand and looked around: "Xiaolan, do you think Kidd will fall directly from the sky?"

Xiaolan shook her head: "I don't know...but I feel like something is going to happen tonight."

Sonoko patted her chest pretending to be calm and said, "Humph, I won't be scared by that Kid! Uncle Maori will definitely catch him!"

Xiaolan nodded and looked nervously at the "Dark Star" in the display cabinet.

While everyone was busy, Kogoro Mouri looked unconcerned.

He yawned lazily and didn't even bother to pay attention to the police's movements.

"Mr. Maori, can you come with me for a moment?"

Suddenly, Suzuki Tomoko appeared beside him and took his arm with a smile.

Mao Li's heart moved, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What's the matter?"

"I want to talk to you alone about something."

Suzuki Tomoko whispered gently in his ear, her eyes hinting.

Maori smiled without saying anything and obediently followed Suzuki Tomoko out of the noisy exhibition hall.

In a quiet lounge in the museum, Suzuki Tomoko closed the door gracefully and pushed Maori to sit on the sofa.

She shed her noble lady demeanor in front of outsiders, and her eyes became more charming.

"Kogoro, I've missed you so much these days."

She murmured softly, pressing her body against him, and her slender fingers slid teasingly over Maori's collar.

Chapter 381: Too Simple a Code

Maori chuckled, put his arm around her waist and held her in his arms.

"It's so busy outside, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Maori whispered with a teasing smile on his lips.

Suzuki Tomoko smiled slightly and breathed into his ear: "I don't care about others, I just want to see you."

The two of them were quietly immersed in intimate interaction, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with them.

Suzuki Tomoko's warm lips pressed against the corner of Maori's mouth, and her fingers wandered restlessly on his chest.

Maori responded to her, his movements seeming to be very relaxed.

"You are really getting bolder and bolder."

Mauli whispered with a smile, hugging her tightly to him.

Suzuki Tomoko bit his earlobe and whispered, "Then you can't run away either."

Mao Li gently lifted her chin, looked her in the eye, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I won't run away that easily."

Soon, a familiar voice was heard in the room.

……

An hour later, the two finally stopped. Suzuki Tomoko leaned on Maori's shoulder, panting and adjusting her clothes.

She smiled and patted Mao Li's chest: "You always make me lose control."

Mao Li adjusted his collar and smiled calmly: "You can't help it."

Suzuki Tomoko blushed, bit her lip, and straightened her messy hair: "When we meet Sonoko later, don't let her notice anything."

Mao Li raised his eyebrows: "As long as you don't reveal the truth, she won't be able to see it."

Suzuki Tomoko shook her head helplessly: "There's really nothing I can do about you."

After they had sorted themselves out, the two of them quietly returned to the outside of the exhibition hall as if nothing had happened.

The atmosphere in the exhibition hall remained tense, as if a storm was about to come.

When Sonoko saw Mori coming back, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just continued to hold Xiaolan's hand and waited nervously with her for Kid to appear.

……

Mao Li looked down at his watch, which read 23:30. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had everything figured out. He did not wait in the museum with the police and others, but walked towards the door.

"Mr. Mori, where are you going?" When Inspector Ginzo Nakamori saw him about to leave, he immediately strode after him and blocked Mori.

"I'm going to catch Kaito Kidd."

Mao Li answered calmly, without any unnecessary explanation in his tone.

Nakamori Ginzo frowned and sneered disdainfully: "Humph, you detective always like to show off. Kaito Kid's warning letter clearly points here, but you want to run away? You don't even know where he will come from!"

Mao Li smiled disapprovingly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked relaxed: "Inspector Nakamori, you are guarding here. You can only guard an empty field today. If you want to catch Kid, you can't be so stupid."

"What did you say?!"

Inspector Nakamori's face immediately turned pale, and he stared at Mori with gnashing teeth. He was well-known for not liking detectives to interfere in his cases, especially those as arrogant as Mori. But Mori's reputation was too great for him to underestimate.

Maori patted Nakamori on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Your methods are fine for dealing with ordinary thieves. But if you want to catch Kidd, you have to use your brain. The place I'm going to is his real target."

"You bullshit!"

Nakamori was so angry that his nose was about to smoke, but the unquestionable confidence in Maori's words made him feel a little doubtful.

Mao Li didn't say anything more, turned around and walked away.

"If you don't believe it, don't follow."

He said this and walked out the door without looking back.

Nakamori stood there, hesitating for a few seconds, watching Maori disappear into the night.

He was very unhappy, but he was not sure whether Mao Li was deliberately keeping him in suspense.

After hesitating for a while, he cursed under his breath: "What a trick this stinky detective is playing."

But he still made a gesture, signaling the two police officers to follow quietly, and he also hurriedly chased after him.

In the parking lot outside the museum, Maori had already gotten into his car.

"Fortunately, Yuanzi brought the car keys."

He started the engine and stepped on the accelerator. The black sedan quickly drove out of the parking lot and blended into the night scene of the city.

Nakamori Ginzo chased after him, driving a police car to keep a distance behind him. He gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "I want to see what the hell you are doing!"

In the car, Mao Li held the steering wheel with one hand and adjusted the navigation with the other hand. He glanced at the destination he was about to arrive at - Beihu Center Hotel.

Kaito Kid's preview letter is too simple.

The hints in the preview letter can be deciphered through simple reasoning:

"When the moon separates the two" - this refers to a lunar eclipse or a similar phenomenon. In the early morning of this week, an artificial satellite will briefly block the sun, forming a special light and shadow between midnight and 12 a.m.

"Under the name of the Dark Star" - this refers to the location of the Dark Star, which is facing southwest in the display case, coinciding with the path of the artificial satellite.

"With the invitation of the waves" - the waves here refer to the radio waves of satellite signals. According to the trajectory, the satellite will pass over the Rice Flower Museum at a direction of 45 degrees from south to west, and extend upward from this position, accurately pointing to the top floor of the Beihu Center Hotel.

As early as when Maori saw the warning letter, he understood that Kidd would not take action in the museum, but would draw all attention here.

The real action will take place on the top floor of the hotel.

On the street late at night, Mao Li's car sped past, and the lights outside the window cast a brief shadow on his face.

A hint of a winning smile appeared on his lips: "Kid, Kid, this trick is really child's play."

He glanced at the time: 23:50. The time for Kidd to take action was getting closer and closer.

The tall building of Beihu Center Hotel stood tall in the night, with the top floor seeming to flicker faintly in the darkness.

Mao Li parked the car steadily in front of the building, straightened his collar, and then walked towards the hotel door.

Nakamori Ginzo's police car also stopped shortly afterwards.

"What does this guy want to do?"

He was full of doubts, but he still quickly caught up with Maori.

The revolving door of the building turned quietly, and Mao Li and Nakamori walked in one after the other. When the elevator door opened, Mao Li turned his head and glanced at Nakamori: "If you want to follow, follow closely."

Nakamori frowned: "Humph, I want to see what you are up to."

The elevator slowly rose, and both of their eyes fell on the constantly jumping numbers.

There was still a faint smile on Mao Li's lips. He could foresee that when the elevator door opened, a carefully planned contest was about to take place.

When the elevator stopped on the top floor with a ding, Maori stepped out, facing the night wind, and looked up at the satellite that was passing by the moon in the sky.

"Kaito Kidd..." Maori whispered, with a deep light flashing in his eyes: "This time, let's see where you can escape."

Chapter 382: Proud Kuroba Kaito

The night was as dark as ink, the city lights flickered faintly in the distance, and a few thin clouds floated slowly in the sky.

Kuroba Kaito stood on the edge of the roof, facing the cold wind, the cloak of his white dress fluttering in the wind, and the brim of his hat slightly lowered, covering half of his face.

He habitually touched the poker gun in his pocket with a confident smile on his face.

Tonight, it’s Kaito Kid’s turn to perform again.

Terai Huang Zhisuke stood behind him, silently helping him organize his equipment, with a look of lingering worry on his face.

"Master, although the plan is rigorous this time, Phantom Thieves are never 100% safe. Please don't be too careless."

Kuroba Kaito snorted disapprovingly, "I never make a mistake."

He adjusted his dress and turned his wrist slightly, and the classic monocle reflected a faint light in the moonlight.

Terai frowned and advised: "Master, I know you are agile and smarter than ordinary people, but the business of phantom thieves is very complicated... Your father..."

When he heard the word "father", Kuroba Kaito's smile froze slightly.

His fingers paused on the adjustment buckle of the flying wing. After a moment, he said in a low voice: "Don't mention him."

Terai looked at Kaito's back and sighed: "Mr. Toichi is also a legendary figure, but he was still not cautious enough and eventually fell into the trap. Master, you..."

Kuroba Kaito looked up at the night sky, with a hint of impatience in his voice: "I am not him, I have my own way. I will let everyone remember - I am Kaito Kidd, and I will not fail."

That damned animal will, sooner or later I will catch you and avenge him!

Terai knew that it was useless to persuade him any further, so he could only nod and hand the last flying wing to him after debugging it.

Kuroba Kaito took it with a smile: "Don't worry, Grandpa Terai, nothing can stump me."

He adjusted his hat and muttered, "Just... my preview letter, will it be too difficult?"

Terai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: "Master...you are worried about this too?"

Kuroba Kaito raised his hand and touched his nose, and said irritably: "Hey, I'm worried that the police won't have enough brains. What if they can't solve it?"

He grumbled quietly, "I don't want to waste my energy."

Terai laughed: "Master, you are being too Versailles. But then again, maybe this time that Maori Kogoro will give you a surprise."

"surprise?"

Kuroba Kaito snorted, "I don't think he can give me any surprises."

He turned around, his cloak fluttering in the wind, looking as cool and confident as ever.

Kuroba Kaito spread his flying wings, jumped onto the edge of the roof, and was about to take off into the air.

At this moment, a mysterious voice came to his ears: "Kaito Kidd, I advise you not to fly too fast - you will fall into the hands of a man tonight."

Kaito's heart trembled and he turned his head suddenly, only to see a black figure slowly walking out of the shadows.
