Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Maori shook his head, his smile still gentle: "It's not your problem. It's just that I can't use magic for the time being."

He paused and explained slowly, "When I really figure out a way to control magic, it won't be too late to teach you then."

After saying this, he turned around and put away the magic book, with a look of unique certainty and calmness on his face.

Koizumi Hongzi did not ask any more questions, but she was filled with deeper doubts and complex emotions: Maori Kogoro in front of her was really an elusive man. He always seemed to be more scheming than ordinary people, as if in his mind, he had paved the way for every future choice.

That confident look made her feel awed, but also a little reluctant.

Of course, Mao Li would not reveal to her that the "Takumi" he was talking about was not achieved by studying magic.

He knew in his heart that by exchanging a "magic control skill" through the system, Hongzi could switch identities at any time and no longer be bound by magic.

For Hongzi, this ability will not only make her life freer, but also allow her to have a more complete sense of belonging in the world of ordinary people.

The mainstream of this world is still a society occupied by ordinary people.

No matter how strong the magic is, you have to find a suitable way to hide and balance it, so that you can truly protect her.

Hongzi's eyes fell on Maori, and she felt complicated.

She said reluctantly: "When will you come to see me next time?"

Mao Li smiled faintly, with a rare gentleness between his eyebrows. He gently raised his hand, as if sensing the subtle fluctuations of magic in the air: "As long as you miss me, use your magic to the maximum. I can sense it."

He bowed his head slightly and added in a low voice, "I'll come to you anytime."

A warm feeling suddenly surged in Hongzi's heart. She looked at the man in front of her, and a sour feeling was throbbing in her heart.

When Maoli turned and left, she gently grasped the sleeves at her side, her lips were pursed slightly, but her eyes were filled with a soft light.

……

When Maori pushed the door open, he just saw the energetic Xiaolan waving at him, and she seemed to be looking at the two distracted people beside her - Suzuki Sonoko and Nakamori Ginzo - with a bit of pride.

Sonoko and Nakamori both had red eyes, and it was obvious that their energy had reached its limit after staying up all night.

"Uncle Maori!"

When Sonoko saw Mori, her mind was in a mess and she completely forgot to conceal the close relationship between her and Mori, and immediately threw herself into Mori's arms.

She shook his arm coquettishly and asked anxiously, "Did you catch Kaito Kid? What does he look like?"

Maori smiled faintly and looked down at Sonoko who was nestled in his arms. He felt that her coquettish look was really adorable, so he patted her shoulder and said softly: "Sonoko, I have already grasped the whereabouts of Kaito Kidd. When he appears again, I can let you see him at any time, but you should go to sleep first."

After Mao Li finished speaking, he placed his hand on Yuanzi's shoulder, using his warmth to gradually relieve the fatigue in her body.

Soon, Sonoko felt a strong sense of sleepiness coming over her, and her eyelids drooped involuntarily. She muttered in Maori's arms: "Really, Uncle Maori... I want to go to bed with you."

Xiaolan stood nearby with a slight pursed lip, and took a step forward with some dissatisfaction. She looked at Maori with a hint of sourness in her eyes.

Mao Li smiled helplessly, then turned around and handed Yuanzi, who had opened her eyes slightly but was already very sleepy, to Xiaolan, saying, "Lan, take her to rest. She has been up all night and must be exhausted."

Xiaolan took Sonoko and looked at Maori suspiciously, not sure whether what he said was true or not, but she still supported Sonoko obediently, let her lean on her shoulder, and walked towards the lounge of the annex step by step.

At this moment, Nakamori Ginzo, who had been up all night, rushed to Maori angrily, staring at him with red eyes, his face full of dissatisfaction and anger:

"Mouri Kogoro! Are you lying to me? You said Kaito Kidd would appear here, but we waited all night and he didn't show up! Tell me, where is Kidd?"

Mao Li smiled, glanced at Nakamori lightly, and said coldly: "Officer Nakamori, do you remember what Kidd's notice said? Although he didn't show up at the place where you set up an ambush, I don't guarantee that I can't catch him."

Nakamori was stunned and frowned deeply. He was about to refute something when suddenly hurried footsteps were heard outside. Conan ran in panting, his eyes full of fatigue and annoyance.

As he walked, he muttered, "That's impossible... Kidd isn't at the Beihu Center Hotel? Did I deduce it wrong?"

It turned out that Conan had already deduced the clue in Kid's code, and he was smart enough to run to the top floor of Beido Center Hotel and wait for a night.

In order to prepare to capture Kidd, he even assumed several postures and squatted there confidently.

As a result, a whole night passed without even seeing the shadow of Kidd.

When Maori saw Conan coming in with a tired look on his face, he immediately felt amused.

Conan obviously didn't know that he had already "greeted" Kidd first, forcing him to leave in embarrassment.

"Conan, you're not going to catch Kidd too, are you?"

Maori asked with pretended curiosity, with a hint of teasing in his expression.

Conan coughed awkwardly and did not give a direct answer.

He then glanced at Mao Li and asked suspiciously, "Uncle Mao Li, where did you go last night? Sister Xiao Lan just asked you on the phone."

Mao Li smiled slightly when he heard this, without further explanation.

Conan looked at Maori with a puzzled look on his face, wondering what Maori had done to Kid.

However, seeing the calm and confident look on Maori's face, Conan suddenly had an indescribable feeling of powerlessness, as if Maori's ability was far more unfathomable than he had imagined.

……

Kogoro Mori walked into the luxurious hall of the Suzuki family's annex. The lights in the hall were warm and soft, and the morning sunlight shone through the window, bringing a hint of comfort.

Tomoko Suzuki was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of black tea in her hand and leisurely flipping through a magazine.

She seemed to have no interest in the turmoil surrounding Kaito Kid and the "Dark Star" gem, and she looked calm and composed, as if all the events of last night had nothing to do with her.

Mao Li walked gently to her side and sat down, smiling and said: "Tongzi, Kaito Kid did show up last night, but I drove him away."

Suzuki Tomoko raised her head, looked at him with a chuckle, then reached out and gently stroked Maori's cheek with an approval look on her face. Then she approached Maori with a bit of coquettishness and gave him a passionate kiss.

Her kiss had a hint of sweetness, and Maori smiled slightly, then took her in his arms and deepened the kiss.

After a while, the two separated. Suzuki Tomoko sat back on the sofa with a smile. She slowly took out an exquisite card from her side and handed it to Maori.

The familiar iconic blue handwriting on the card immediately caught Maori's attention. It was the preview card of Kaito Kid.

"This kid still doesn't give up?"

Mao Li glanced at the card and couldn't help but snort.

Suzuki Tomoko shrugged helplessly and smiled, "Yes, it seems that he is still obsessed with the 'Black Star'. This time, he announced that he will appear on the cruise ship next week to collect the gem."

Maori held the card between his fingers and took a closer look. He smiled faintly and pointed to the date and content on it. "In fact, this is probably just his backup plan, and he put it here in advance. He may have had a premonition that he would fail last night, and this card is a reserve for himself. If he succeeds, he will destroy it; if he fails, let's have another game."

Suzuki Tomoko was slightly startled, then nodded as if she had suddenly realized something, and raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth: "That being said, it is indeed an interesting arrangement. In this case... why don't we play with him again?"

Mao Li raised his eyebrows, but did not answer directly. He just raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully. He nodded slightly, looking at the blue sky outside the window, with an unfathomable look in his eyes.

While the two were talking, a sturdy man walked towards them quietly.

The man was wearing a black windbreaker and walked steadily, but his expression was nonchalant, as if he had completely integrated himself into the surrounding environment.

However, when he was about to approach Suzuki Tomoko, Maori's eyes darkened and he took quick action.

He firmly grasped the man's arm and twisted it with extreme precision, pushing the man's entire body to the ground.

The man's expression changed instantly, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes. Before he could even react, Maori's power was like a mountain pressing down on him, making him unable to move.

Kogoro Mouri's hands firmly pressed down the man's shoulders, and the other party was surprised - the man in front of him actually subdued him in one move, as firmly as an iron clamp.

The man who was pinned down was no ordinary man, but none other than Kamiya Masato, a thief who was well versed in the art of stealing and nicknamed "Mouse".

He is good at intelligence trafficking, is elusive, and has a special liking for gems.

With his superb hand speed, he is better than Kaito Kid in stealing.

However, such a skillful thief was easily subdued by Maori at this moment, and he had no power to fight back at all, which made him feel a little afraid.

Kamiya knew that the other party was not easy to deal with, but he still maintained a nonchalant attitude on the surface, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, great detective, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly catch me? I didn't do anything."

Mao Li narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If your hands and feet are not clean, be careful and I will chop them off for you."

Kamiya didn't seem to care. He shrugged and said casually, "Oh, I didn't do anything. Mr. Maori, please don't talk nonsense."

However, his eyes flickered slightly, obviously trying to hide his panic.

Mao Li ignored his explanation and instead pulled him up, his movements smooth and smooth, as if it took no effort at all.

And Maori's powerful sense of strength made Kamiya feel a little uneasy.

He secretly swallowed his saliva, knowing clearly that the famous detective in front of him was no ordinary person.

Maori patted his shoulder slowly, as if brushing the dust off his clothes, but his eyes were locked on him deeply and calmly.

"Not doing the best,"

Mao Li said calmly, his tone calm but intimidating, "But I remind you, this is not a place for you to act recklessly."

Master Kamiya couldn't help but force a smile, lowered his head awkwardly and answered a few words, then quietly stepped back a few steps, and quickly walked away after Maori let go of his hand.

Along the way, he maintained a calm expression. However, when he turned the corner and finally got out of Mori's sight, Kamiya Masato couldn't help but look back and secretly glance at the figures of the man and woman.

The tall and steady man still stood there, calm and composed, while Suzuki Tomoko held Maori's hand with a relieved smile on her face. Kamiya Masato felt an indescribable chill in his heart, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He knows that he has extraordinary skills. He has never failed in stealing since his debut, and can even compete with Kaito Kidd.

However, Maori was able to subdue him so easily, and even saw through his intentions through his expression and behavior, as if he saw through everything about him.

This completely irresistible feeling of oppression made him feel deeply uneasy.

"What a horrible man..."

Shin Kamiya muttered to himself, with mixed emotions in his eyes.

He re-examined himself, and his fear of Maori increased even more.

Maori watched Kamiya Master leave in embarrassment, with a hint of cold smile in his eyes.

He knew the other party's intentions, and he also understood that his strong deterrence was enough to make this evil-minded thief afraid.

He turned around and looked at Suzuki Tomoko's smiling face, then put his arm around her shoulders and led her out of the hall.

Chapter 391: Confused Tears of the Next Life

Suzuki Tomoko held Maori's arm, her eyes showing some doubt, and asked softly: "Kogoro, who was that man just now?"

Although her tone was light, it was obvious that the other party's mysterious behavior aroused her curiosity.

Mao Li smiled but did not answer her question directly. He seemed to deliberately skip the topic and instead cast his eyes towards the display case not far away. He said in a relaxed tone: "Tongzi, the gems on display today are quite interesting. I'm sure they have attracted a lot of attention."

His words were gentle but with a sense of ease, and he skillfully changed the subject.

Suzuki Tomoko was very intelligent and naturally realized Mori's intention.

She smiled slightly, did not ask any more questions, and tacitly shifted her attention to Maori's topic.

After a moment, she whispered to Mao Li, "Come with me, I have an interesting friend to introduce you to."

There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, as if she was looking forward to the scene that was about to unfold.

Soon, Suzuki Tomoko brought Mao Li to a graceful beauty and greeted her with a smile: "A Lei!"

Maori looked up and saw that the woman was wearing a well-fitting dark blue dress that outlined her beautiful figure. Her facial features were soft and delicate, and her makeup was elegant and delicate. There was a mature charm and confident glow between her eyebrows.

A hint of surprise flashed across Maori's eyes - isn't this the Tears of the Reincarnation of the eldest sister in "Cat's Eye"?

The woman with a calm personality, charming manner, and mature and intellectual beauty was now standing before him.

Suzuki Tomoko smiled and introduced to Mao Li: "This is Miss Ruisheng Lei, the president of the Ruisheng Group. She is young, promising and beautiful, and she is also a very good friend of mine. Mr. Mao Li, I think you two can get along well."

Mao Li nodded slightly, looking at Lai Sheng Lei in front of him with deep eyes. He vaguely realized that this beauty might not only be the president of Lai Sheng Group, but also have other identities.

After all, he already knew the secret of the three Cat's Eye sisters, and their biggest goal was to collect the precious artworks scattered throughout the family.

How could the appearance of the Dark Star not attract their attention?

When Lai Shenglei saw Mao Li, a faint smile flashed across her eyes. She stepped forward calmly and generously, stretched out her slender hand, and said in a natural and familiar tone: "I have heard of Mr. Mao Li's name for a long time."

Her eyes were like water, full of inquiry, and her words seemed to intentionally or unintentionally bring them closer.

Mao Li stretched out his hand and shook it gently, smiling and saying, "Miss Laisheng, it is true that hearing about her is worse than meeting her in person."

There was a hint of teasing in his eyes. He naturally did not reject such a beauty, but he also had a vague feeling that the approach of this "President of the next life" was not simply friendly.

Lai Sheng Lei smiled gently, and there was more profound meaning in that smile.

Obviously, she realized that Mao Li was not an ordinary detective, and her interest in him was not just because of Tomoko's introduction.

Seeing this, Suzuki Tomoko smiled and let go of their hands, saying, "You two are getting to know each other so smoothly, so I won't bother you any more. I'll go greet other guests. Excuse me."

She blinked and turned away.

Watching Suzuki Tomoko disappear in the crowd, Lai Shenglei turned to Maori with a hint of curiosity in her eyes and said softly, "Mr. Maori, the rumors about the Black Star are really fascinating. I heard that you are also quite interested in this exhibition."
