Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Mao Li smiled and replied, "As a detective, it is my professional instinct to investigate suspicious targets. Miss Laisheng seems to be quite curious about the Black Star?"

Laisheng smiled and said nothing, looking at him half teasingly: "I am the person in charge of Laisheng Group. I naturally hope that this jewelry exhibition will be foolproof. However, if something really happens, I am afraid that Mr. Mao Li will also help, right?"

Her tone was ambiguous, as if she was speaking with a hidden message, and her eyes revealed a certain certainty.

Mao Li noticed her hint, but he still kept a calm smile on his face and said nonchalantly: "If there is a need, of course I will do my best. However... I guess Miss Laisheng will have her own unique way to 'ensure' the safety of the exhibits, right?"

Lai Sheng Lei smiled gently, his eyes gentle but revealing a bit of calmness and composure.

She leaned slightly closer to Maori and whispered, "I heard that Kaito Kidd also intends to show up at this exhibition. Will Mr. Maori come for this purpose as well?"

Maori understood in his heart - as expected, Lai Shenglei was asking about Kaito Kid.

However, he remained calm on the surface and replied with a smile: "I just came here to try my luck. After all, a character like Kidd is not easy to come across."

Well.

After all, Kuroba Kaito still needs to go to high school, and he can only have time to come out occasionally.

Laisheng narrowed his eyes, then smiled with a hint of sarcasm: "Try your luck? Mr. Mao Li's status and means are probably more reliable than 'luck', right?"

Mao Li knew what she was thinking, so he stopped hiding it. He leaned closer to her and said in a low voice, "Since Miss Laisheng is interested, why don't we observe this exhibition together and see if this thief will show up as promised."

Ok.

I definitely can’t come. I was so depressed last night.

The three Cat's Eye sisters don't know this information, so Maori can use it to his advantage.

Lai Sheng Lei was slightly startled, then she revealed a charming smile, and said with some ease: "It seems that Mr. Mao Li is indeed a humorous colleague. But..."

She changed the subject, her eyes seemed to be more serious, "If you encounter any trouble, I hope Mr. Maori can take care of you a little."

Mao Li smiled and nodded, then continued: "It's my honor."

The two smiled at each other, each of them speaking with their own thoughts, as if they had reached some kind of tacit agreement through this tacit conversation.

Raiu Lei still maintained her dignified and elegant smile and gradually started chatting with Maori Kogoro.

Her eyes, as gentle as water, moved around, and her words were subtly trying to get more of Maori's thoughts.

"Mr. Maori doesn't usually attend these events, does he?"

Lai Sheng Lei smiled lightly, tilted her head slightly, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, "I didn't expect you to appear at today's exhibition."

Maori Kogoro smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling with shrewdness, and he answered calmly: "It is indeed rare. This time it was because of Tomoko's kind invitation that I came to see the fun by the way."

"It's rare to see Miss Laisheng. I see you're also very interested in the exhibition?"

Lai Shenglei was slightly startled, then smiled and said faintly: "Pengzi invited me, of course I can't miss it. But coming here today is indeed an opportunity to relax, after all, I am busy with work."

She sighed softly, revealing a hint of tiredness just right, yet also a bit of helplessness and tenderness.

At this moment, Hitomi Raiu's chuckle came from her headphones: "Sister, you are still so good at finding opportunities. It's really rare. This Maori detective looks difficult to deal with."

Lai Sheng Ai couldn't help but interrupt with a mischievous smile: "It seems that Sister is not just here to scout the place. Why is she chatting so closely with the detective?"

"You know what, Maori Kogoro is quite handsome. I like him too."

"Oh, really, really, how about I go over and get to know him?"

Listening to the conversation between her sisters, Lai Shenglei's lips slightly raised. Taking advantage of the gap between her and Mao Li, she quickly responded in a low voice in the headset: "Tong, Ai, be serious. I'm working."

"Also, I just encountered a rat. That guy and our target coincided with each other. He sneaked into the exhibition hall and was caught by Mao Li. The situation is a bit tricky this time. With so many parties competing, it is definitely not easy to get the target."

The headphones were suddenly quiet, and Lai Sheng Tong lowered her voice and said, "That mouse runs really fast. Sister, you better be careful, Mao Li is a tough guy to deal with."

Lai Shenglei nodded in response, then looked up at Maori Kogoro in front of her, her eyes moving, hiding the little episode in her headphones without a trace.

As a result, she had no idea that Mao had already heard their conversation clearly with his superhuman hearing.

Mao Li glanced at her calmly, with a faint smile on his face: "Miss Laisheng seems to be interested in more than just the exhibition. It's rare for a CEO like you to have time to relax. You really take it easy."

Lai Shenglei concealed her inner vigilance calmly, smiled gently and said: "Indeed, maybe it's because Tomoko and you are such interesting people together this time, how about we add each other's contact information first?"

"is it?"

Mao Li looked at Lai Shenglei meaningfully and responded appropriately: "I am indeed very interested in meeting someone like Miss Lai Sheng. Since she is a friend of Tomoko, she must be a close friend."

Lai Shenglei bowed slightly and said calmly: "Mr. Mao Li is very knowledgeable and today he really opened my eyes."

After saying that, Lai Shenglei began to exchange contact information with Maori.

However, just as she finished speaking, her sister Ai Ai's voice came through the headset, with a bit of anxiety: "Sister, Kamiya Masato seems to be taking action as well. He may not have received the information about the Black Star! And he was just trading information with a certain thief. It seems that someone else is also eyeing this gem."

Lai Shenglei frowned slightly, then smiled to hide her inner fluctuations. She lowered her head slightly and replied in a very low voice in the headset: "Got it, stay alert."

Then she returned to her soft tone and continued chatting with Maori.

"By the way, Mr. Maori, how do you think Kaito Kidd will deal with this 'Dark Star'?"

She cleverly turned the topic to Kidd, trying to get some information from Maori.

He couldn't do it, and even if he wanted to, he would do it on the cruise ship!

Mao Bali smiled slightly, but did not answer Lai Sheng's tearful question. Instead, he asked slowly, "Miss Lai Sheng seems to be very interested in Kidd's way of doing things. I wonder why?"

Lai Sheng Lei was slightly startled, then quickly replied with a smile: "A character like Kaito Kidd is naturally curious. After all, his skills are so superb that he is almost a legend in the world of Kaito."

Mao Li nodded slightly with a hint of amusement, and said with a hint of meaning: "So, Miss Laisheng also likes collecting gems?"

Lai Sheng Lei heard this and smiled slightly, and replied softly: "I am not personally interested in collecting gemstones. It's just that this kind of top collection is rare, so I am somewhat interested."

There was an elegance and reserve in her words, making her seem very graceful and elegant.

Mao Li nodded when he heard this, but did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since everyone is interested in this gem, let's see what kind of surprises Kaito Kidd will bring."

The voice of Hitomi Raito came from the headset again: "Sister, this Mr. Maori is really not a simple person. However, if we can find out Kidd's plan from him, it will be of great help to our next action."

Lai Shenglei nodded thoughtfully, then said softly with a calm smile, "Mr. Maori, are you interested in appreciating the exhibition with me alone?"

Maori smiled faintly, nodded, and gestured for her to lead the way.

Lai Shenglei immediately bowed slightly and made a "please" gesture, which just showed her polite temperament. She walked in front and led Mao Li to the depths of the exhibition hall.

At this moment, Lai Sheng Ai suddenly interrupted through the headset and said, "Sister, be careful. We just received news that other forces seem to have set their sights on this exhibition."

Lai Sheng Lei was slightly startled, then responded in a low voice: "I see. Mr. Maori seems to have noticed us, keep a low profile." She then smiled again and continued to chat and laugh with Maori, as if everything was calm and normal.

…Mauri and the Tears of the Future Life walked leisurely in the exhibition hall, with lights from all around shining on the exhibits, creating a quiet and elegant atmosphere.

After walking a few steps, Mao Li looked around and said to Lai Shenglei with a smile: "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Lai Shenglei was slightly startled, but she just nodded politely and watched Mao Li leave.

She looked at Maori's back, but a trace of doubt quietly rose in her heart. Maori's departure seemed a little abrupt, and it seemed that it was not just a simple "excuse me for a while".

A few minutes later, the atmosphere in the exhibition hall suddenly changed subtly.

The tourists who were originally walking in groups of two or three among the crowd left one after another, and the number of people in the venue decreased a lot without people noticing.

Lai Sheng Lei frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy. At this time, the voice of Lai Sheng Ai came from her headphones.

"Sister! Those foreign forces... Strange, they suddenly disappeared one after another!"

Lai Sheng Ai's voice was filled with surprise and confusion. "How come the people who were nearby just now are gone?"

Lai Shenglei's heart tightened, and she secretly speculated about this sudden change. She couldn't help but think of Mao Li's sudden departure just now, and a bold guess emerged in her mind: Could it be that... these people were "dealt with" by Mao Li? Did he leave just now to clean up those foreign thieves?

Thinking of this, she involuntarily looked in the direction where Maori disappeared, with a hint of vigilance and inquiry in her expression. While she was still thinking, Maori came back leisurely, holding a white handkerchief in his hand, wiping his fingers elegantly, with a relaxed expression, as if he had just experienced an ordinary little thing.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Mao Li smiled, put the handkerchief back into his pocket, and said politely to Lai Sheng Lei, "I just went to the bathroom."

Chapter 392 Photon Asaya

There was a smile on Lai Sheng Lei's face, but he was even more suspicious.

Mao Li's words and actions seemed very natural, but when she thought of the mysterious disappearance of the thieves just now, she couldn't help but become alert.

Is he really going to the bathroom?

Lai Sheng Lei smiled tentatively and said, "Mr. Mao Li seems to be quite skilled. No wonder it is rumored that you are a famous detective feared by both the black and white worlds."

Mao Li smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with an unpredictable light: "Rumors are always rumors. If Miss Laisheng believes them, you will lose a lot of fun."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and understood each other tacitly.

Lai Shenglei became more certain of her guess that the man in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person.

He is calm and shrewd in his actions, and it is obvious that he is not just a person who relies on his intelligence to survive.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in her heart: on the one hand, she felt admiration for Maori, on the other hand, she also felt a sense of danger.

Lai Shenglei smiled lightly, hiding the vigilance in her heart, and said in a gentle yet casual tone: "It seems that today's exhibition is really 'turbulent'. Even Kidd hasn't shown up, and there are so many 'uninvited guests' visiting."

Maori responded calmly: "Kid is naturally very charming, but these 'guests' are probably just here to 'join in the fun', not worth mentioning."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lai Shenglei meaningfully, as if trying to see something from her expression.

At this moment, Lai Sheng Tong's voice sounded in the headset again, with a bit of worry: "Sister, this time I'm afraid it's more complicated than we thought... Those forces disappeared too cleanly, and our target is under comprehensive surveillance. Perhaps we should change our strategy."

Lai Shenglei's heart moved, and then he smiled nonchalantly and said, "Yes, it looks like today will be very lively."

She turned her head slightly and glanced at Maori's profile out of the corner of her eye. He remained calm and composed, as if he already knew all their plans.

Mao Li looked at Lai Sheng Lei thoughtfully and smiled calmly: "Miss Lai Sheng seems to have some special feelings for gems. Whether it is for collection or as a challenge, perhaps you enjoy it?"

Lai Sheng smiled and covered up his tears, saying, "Mr. Maori is really insightful. As a collector, I naturally hope to appreciate these rare treasures with my own eyes. As for the challenge..."

She paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "That's Kidd's strength. I dare not compare myself with him."

Maori nodded slightly, and said with a half-smile: "In that case, I can rest assured. After all, Kidd is still a 'rule-abiding' opponent to a certain extent. I don't want to see any extra 'troublemakers'."

The smile on Lai Sheng Lei's lips gradually faded, and he couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

Mao Li's implication was clear - he was suggesting that she and her team would be better off not getting involved in this contest.

Although this warning is spoken mildly, it is full of a deterrent that should not be taken lightly.

She took a deep breath and smiled calmly, "Mr. Maori is indeed amazing. He is indeed a person that even Kaito Kid finds difficult to deal with. It is my honor to meet you today."

Mao Li smiled when he saw this and said, "You're welcome. Miss Laisheng is also a rare and intelligent person. I hope we can have the opportunity to witness Kidd's wonderful performance together."

The two smiled at each other, and their game had reached a new height in just a few minutes.

Lai Sheng Lei secretly made up her mind that the man in front of her was by no means an opponent who could be easily underestimated, and she had to re-evaluate the risks of their action.

Just as the conversation between Maoli and Lei Lai Sheng was getting better, a tall and beautiful woman walked over.

She was wearing a pair of large frog-eye glasses, the lenses reflecting cold light and covering most of her face, but her delicate features could still be seen through the lenses.

She was wearing a fashionable casual outfit that was well matched, looking both capable and full of personality.

The shape of handcuffs could be seen faintly around her waist, which was obviously a sign that she was a police officer. Her steps were light and powerful, like a well-trained cheetah, full of vigilance.

When Lai Junsheng saw the drunk policewoman, his heart tightened and he secretly clicked his tongue. Then he restored his smile and whispered to Mao Li: "Sorry, Mr. Mao Li, I have to leave for a while."

She smiled slightly, trying to act casual, but the coldness in her eyes made Maori keenly aware of a hint of disgust and uneasiness.

Mao Li noticed that Lai Shenglei was unhappy and couldn't help asking her: "Who is this...?"

Lai Shenglei lowered her voice, with a meaningful expression on her face: "Her name is Asaya Mitsuko, she graduated from the Department of Psychology at Nanjo University, and is affiliated with the Third Investigation Division of Inunaki Police Station. This person is not simple, she is good at karate, judo, and shooting. Her work ability is also outstanding, especially in tracking and arresting criminal suspects. She has a very high talent."

She paused, her eyes swept towards Asaya Mitsuko, her tone carrying a hint of coldness that could not be concealed, "However, this person is aloof and extremely conceited. I have to say, getting along with her is really a headache."

Mao Li smiled slightly, as if he understood something, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Oh? Miss Lai Sheng seems to have a prejudice against this Officer Asaya. Her ability is not bad, isn't it worth appreciating?"

Lai Shenglei concealed the dissatisfaction in her eyes, snorted softly, and said in a low voice: "Humph, people like her are strong and conceited. They are like a taut string that will break completely if things go wrong."

She glanced at Mao Li lightly and showed a slightly provocative smile, "Of course, Mr. Mao Li might think that she is a rare 'talent'. After all, detectives and police are always on the same front, right?"

Maori nodded slightly, looked at Lai Shenglei meaningfully, and said nothing.

As one of the three Cat's Eye sisters, it is normal for Lai Sheng Lei to hate the police.

At this time, Lai Shenglei had regained her composure. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes wandered, and she deliberately said, "But you'd better be careful, Mr. Maori. This Officer Asaya is quite difficult to deal with. I heard that she once tracked down and arrested the leader of an international theft gang on her own. This is not something that ordinary police officers can do."

Mao Li nodded slightly, revealing a hint of approval. "With such outstanding tracking and execution abilities, he is very suitable for the police profession. It is no surprise that he can become an elite of the Third Investigation Division."

At this moment, Asaya Mitsuko had walked up to the two of them. She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of sharp eyes, and glanced coldly at Lai Sheng Lei, then turned her gaze to Mao Li.

His eyes were sharp and cold, with a hint of scrutiny, as if he could see through Maori in front of him.

"Kogoro Mori, I've long heard of your name." Her voice was calm and capable, with a hint of arrogance.

Mao Li smiled and nodded in response: "Officer Asaya, I have long heard of your outstanding ability in investigations. After seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed as good as your reputation."
