Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

However, Maori just smiled at her, as if to say "don't worry".

The smile was both gentle and ambiguous, causing her heart to beat faster. Finally, she took a deep breath and quickly disappeared into the night with her sisters.

"Mouri Kogoro!" Asaya Mitsuko looked at him angrily and shouted, "Do you know what you are doing? They are guilty thieves! How dare you let them go? This is considered obstruction of public service. Wait for me to report you to the police station!"

Maori looked at the furious Mitsuko Asaya and still maintained that half-smile on his face, not shaken by her threats at all.

He put the piece of cloth in his pocket, and then said calmly: "It's up to you, but before that, Officer Asaya, should we talk about your bug problem?"

Mitsuko Asaya's expression changed instantly, and the confidence and anger just now were replaced by a hint of surprise.

She didn't expect that Maori had already noticed that she had placed a bug on him, and even took advantage of it. Maori took a step forward and looked down at her, with a hint of warning in his tone: "Why are you so bothered to monitor me? If you have any questions about me, it would be more effective to ask me directly."

Mitsuko Asaya was speechless for a moment. She could feel the oppression coming from Maori. That was a calmness and confidence that not everyone could possess.

However, there was a gleam of unwillingness in her eyes as she glared at Maori.

She never thought that someone would let the suspect go so lightly and even dare to question her about her bug!

Mitsuko Asaya held her chin high, trying to compete with Mori in momentum: "You let them go, aren't you shielding criminals? Mori Kogoro, who do you think you are? If you have the guts, just wait for the court summons!"

Mao Li's expression instantly became more relaxed when he heard this.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked at her calmly, as if her anger was just an insignificant breeze.

He spoke calmly, with a barely perceptible hint of teasing in his tone: "Officer Asaya, are you sure you want to report me? If I remember correctly, your placement of the bug is also considered a violation of the rules, right?"

Asaya Mitsuko's momentum was immediately punctured and her expression froze.

She was annoyed, but still refused to admit defeat. She snorted, "I only did this to catch the three Cat's Eye sisters... You are clearly helping them escape. You are clearly breaking the law knowingly!"

Chapter 396 Be My Woman

Mao Li smiled slightly and walked towards her slowly, his tone relaxed and calm: "If that's the case, then we can indeed go to court together to see whose actions are more in line with the law. But by then, I'm afraid there will be an additional record of illegal operations in the police report."

Asaya Mitsuko's face darkened again. She had long been accustomed to going all out in handling cases, and no one dared to question her methods. But now in front of Mori, she was in a dilemma.

She bit her lip, and there was a hint of struggle in her expression.

She knew she was in the wrong, but she was unwilling to admit defeat easily for the sake of her face.

Maori saw through her contradiction and said in a low but firm voice: "If you really want to catch the Cat's Eye Sisters, I am not your real enemy. On the contrary, perhaps we can cooperate." His tone was gentle and sincere, as if he did not want to embarrass her, but to give her a way out.

Mitsuko Asaya was slightly startled and looked up at Maori. The confrontation and vigilance in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of hesitation.

She paused, finally lowered her head, sighed softly, and said reluctantly: "Maybe... my method is indeed a little extreme."

Mao Li saw that her attitude had softened, his expression still calm: "I understand your persistence in the case, which is why I reminded you. Sometimes, following the rules can also lead to more effective ways."

Asaya Mitsuko pursed her lips slightly, appearing somewhat unwilling, but deep down she had already begun to agree with Maori's point of view.

She took a deep breath, finally letting go of her arrogance, and her tone softened a bit: "Maybe I was too impatient before. I just want to catch them as soon as possible and stop them from doing evil again."

Maori nodded gently, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "There is nothing wrong with your persistence, it just requires a little strategy. In this case, why not try another method?"

"Wh...what method?"

Mitsuko Asaya was stunned by Maori's words. She stared at the man in front of her with her sharp eyes, waiting for his answer with a serious expression.

Mao Li smiled slightly, his eyes calmly sweeping across her face, then to her capable police uniform - the tight uniform outlined her slender and powerful figure, making her look slender and elegant, especially the sharp look in her eyes that hid her confidence and determination.

Maori felt in his heart that although such a woman seemed cold and arrogant on the surface, she was full of attraction and had an unapproachable aura.

Asaya Mitsuko waited for his answer nervously, but Maori suddenly moved closer, still smiling, and whispered, "Why not become my woman? Then, no matter who you want to capture, I will help you achieve it."

Mitsuko Asaya's face instantly turned from pale to angry, and fire almost spewed out of her eyes.

She couldn't believe that Maori would actually make such a request. She was overwhelmed with shame and anger. She sneered and said sarcastically, "Mauri Kogoro, you really opened my eyes! I thought you were an upright person, but you are just a shameless person who took the opportunity to act like a hooligan!"

Mao Li remained unmoved. He just shrugged and said in a joking tone, "Officer Asaya, please be patient. I am just making a suggestion. Besides... without my help, do you really think you can catch the Cat's Eye Sisters by yourself? You know, so far no police officer has been able to successfully bring them to justice."

Mitsuko Asaya's face turned red, but the anger in her eyes could not hide a trace of unwillingness.

Maori was right. The Cat's Eye Sisters are still the "unsolved mystery" talked about by everyone in the police station. Their whereabouts are elusive and their methods are sophisticated. The police have set up ambushes many times but have not been able to catch them.

She looked at Mao Li with a cold look and said firmly: "Even so, I will not compromise with you because of this kind of thing! It is the duty of the police to catch thieves, not because of a man's protection!"

Mao Li's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, but he still maintained a nonchalant smile and continued, "Duty? Asaya Mitsuko, you keep talking about duty, but I dare say that without my help, you will never be able to catch the Cat's Eye Sisters. After all, they are not as easy to deal with as ordinary criminals."

Mitsuko Asaya bit her lower lip hard, struggling internally.

She has been obsessed with the Cat's Eye Sisters for a long time, but Maori in front of her is like an impeccable wall, oppressing her and leaving her unable to refute.

After a long while, she finally took a deep breath and stared at him coldly, her eyes revealing unyielding determination: "I will catch them! Even without your help!"

Maori looked at her with interest, with a playful smile on his face, and asked softly: "Oh? Then how do you plan to catch them? Are you going to rely on those eavesdropping devices placed everywhere? Or do you have to wait for them to show up before trying to fix the problem?"

Asaya Mitsuko was touched in a sore spot, and her eyes wavered a little, but she soon became tough again and snorted coldly, "Don't worry about it! I will find evidence naturally!"

Mao Li shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I actually admire your determination and persistence. However, I am afraid that success is still a long way to go with just these."

He once again looked at Asaya Mitsuko with burning eyes, "Besides, do you really think that Laisheng Lei is one of the three Cat's Eye sisters?"

Asaya Mitsuko was stunned for a moment, and immediately said angrily: "Of course I have reason to doubt her! She and her two sisters are always mysterious, going in and out of different auctions, and often they are also present where the Cat's Eye sisters are. Who would believe it if she said there is no connection!"

Mao Li nodded slightly, as if confirming her guess, but his eyes were still teasing: "Suppose your guess is correct, but do you have evidence? Suspicion alone cannot establish a case."

Asaya Mitsuko was suddenly speechless.

She had indeed always suspected that Lai Sheng Lei was one of the three Cat's Eye sisters, but she had not been able to find any conclusive evidence so far.

And this is exactly why she has been so anxious - no matter how much intuition and analysis she has, without real evidence, she cannot take any legal action against Lai Sheng Lei.

Mao Li watched her expression change and smiled even more: "So, these alone are not enough to catch them."

He paused, and then continued, "Instead of going down the same path, why not consider other ways... Officer Asaya, if you really want to catch them, I still say the same thing, why not try to rely on me?"

Asaya Mitsuko's lips trembled slightly, and her expression gradually revealed a trace of hesitation, but she still shook her head stubbornly and refused in a firm tone: "Impossible! I will never compromise or give in because of your sweet talk! I said that I have my own responsibilities and will not violate the bottom line for personal gain!"

Mao Li looked at her stubbornness, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes. He smiled softly and did not dwell on the topic of drinking. Instead, he said with interest: "In this case, I hope to see with my own eyes how you can rely on yourself to arrest the three sisters of Cat's Eye. Maybe then, I will admire your perseverance more than you do."

Chapter 397 You Are the Tears of the Next Life

Mao Li casually let go of Asaya Mitsuko's arm, and his calm and composed attitude made her unable to figure out his intentions for a moment.

Asaya was stunned for a moment, then looked at him sharply, with a bit of doubt.

Although Kogoro Mori in front of him spoke casually, he revealed a kind of confidence that he was sure to win.

"It seems that you still have great confidence in capturing the three Cat's Eye sisters."

Mao Li smiled faintly, his eyes were slightly teasing, "In that case, I'm willing to give you a chance, how about... let's make a bet."

Asaya Mitsuko was slightly stunned, then raised her eyebrows, with a hint of vigilance: "Bet? What's the bet?"

Mao Li smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "It's very simple. I can give you an opportunity to get intelligence about the movements of the three Cat's Eye sisters that you have never known before. If you can successfully catch them with this opportunity, then from now on I will no longer bother you, and I will even help you pave the way for promotion, so that you can rise to the top of the police force in one step."

He paused slightly, then continued with a hint of joking, "Of course, if you can't catch them, then you have to be my woman."

Asaya Mitsuko looked carefully at his face, trying to discern his true feelings.

Her expression gradually changed from the initial alertness to a contemptuous smile, with her usual stubbornness and pride: "Mouri Kogoro, you are really wishful thinking. I have always been confident in myself. Since you want to give me a chance, I will naturally not miss it."

Mao Li nodded slightly, as if he had expected her response, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Very good, then it's a deal. Don't worry, I will keep my word. Since you are so confident, I want to see if Officer Asaya will become the woman I expect."

He waved his hand, indicating that she could leave, with a casual look, as if he was not troubled by her agreement.

Mitsuko Asaya looked at him with some confusion and frowned unconsciously - the aggressive Maori just now seemed determined to lock her tightly in his arms, but now he let go so easily, as if he was not worried that she would regret it or go back on her word.

"You're just going to let me go like this?"

Asaya Mitsuko asked tentatively, with a hint of doubt and even unconscious annoyance in her eyes.

She had just been humiliated and provoked by Maori, but now he let her go easily, as if he was secretly mocking her for her incompetence.

Maori looked calm and smiled faintly: "Why, are you afraid that I will regret it? A good hunter is always patient. Besides, you said you wanted to leave, so why should I stop you?"

He said in a relaxed tone, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, "To be honest, I have seen many stunning beauties who are better looking than you. Although you are indeed charming, you are not enough to make me lose my mind."

When Mitsuko Asaya heard this, her face suddenly turned cold, and the stubborn fighting spirit in her heart was instantly ignited.

She had never shown her desire to win as a woman in front of Kogoro Mori, but at this moment, her pride made her unable to tolerate such a contemptuous tone.

She said angrily, "Mouri Kogoro, you are so self-righteous! You will regret it if you let me go."

Mao Li smiled slightly after hearing this, and with his signature cynical attitude, he made a gentlemanly gesture, as if unintentionally adding a bit of mockery: "Okay, then I'll wait and see if Officer Asaya can give me a big surprise."

Asaya Mitsuko was so angry that her teeth itched, but she didn't look back and walked straight to the door. Behind her, Maori had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care about her leaving at all.

After taking a few steps, Mitsuko Asaya couldn't help but look back at him, only to see Maori standing there leisurely, his eyes still calm and composed, even with a hint of amusement.

His confidence, calmness, and hint of arrogance seemed to have seen through her arrogance and stubbornness, making her furious.

"Mouri Kogoro, I will prove to you with my actions that your contempt for me will be your biggest mistake!"

There was determination in Mitsuko Asaya's eyes, and a firmness in her words that she had never seen before.

Mao Li smiled faintly and nodded: "Okay, I'm looking forward to that day."

……

Maori watched Asaya Mitsuko's back disappear into the distance, a smile appeared in his eyes. Then he took a deep breath, moved his nose slightly, and identified the breath around him.

He strolled towards a more secluded corner, his steps leisurely, as if he was completely unprepared for the shadows lurking around him.

Just as he was about to reach the corner, he heard light footsteps behind him.

Maori had a faint smile on his face, but he still stood there calmly.

The next moment, he felt a cold touch on his neck—a dagger was gently pressed against his throat.

"do not move."

A deep female voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of trembling and mixed emotions.

Maori lowered his head slightly, glanced at the dagger against his neck, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He was familiar with the feel of the dagger and the sound of it.

Obviously, it was the "Cat's Eye" sister whom he had let go before - Tears of the Next Life.

"Hey, don't the three Cat's Eye sisters always steal things and never hurt anyone?"

Mao Li teased with a hint of amusement in his voice, "You actually want to use a knife on me this time. Are you flirting with me?"

Lai Shenglei listened to his unguarded tone, bit her lip slightly, the dagger in her hand was a little unstable, and asked in a low voice: "Maori, who are you?"

Mao Li smiled softly, with a mysterious look in his eyes: "Me? Of course I am the one who saved you."

When Lai Shenglei heard his casual words, her eyes flashed slightly, and she said coldly: "I don't believe you are so kind... Mao Li, have you already known our true identity?"

"Is there any need to guess?"

Mao Li looked at her with a smile, and said in a playful tone, "Ms. Raisheng Lei, and your two sisters - Raisheng Tong and Raisheng Ai. Do you think this little trick can fool me?"

For a moment, the three Cat's Eye sisters all became nervous.

Hitomi Lai came out from the shadows, staring at Maori with complicated eyes, and a hint of cruelty appeared on her face: "Since you already know our identities, why don't we just kill you once and for all, so that our secret will not be exposed."

"Sister, this... this is not good, right?"

Lai Sheng Ai whispered hesitantly, looking at Mao Li worriedly, as if looking for another way out.

"Then what else can you do?"

Lai Sheng Tong retorted a little anxiously, with a bit of uneasiness in her eyes.

Lai Sheng Ai was speechless for a moment, but Lai Sheng Lei still clenched his teeth, and the hand holding the dagger trembled slightly.

She spoke slowly: "Maori, accusations without evidence pose no threat to us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Li suddenly stretched out his hand and turned around quickly, holding the Tears of the Future in his arms, gently but with irresistible power.

He lowered his head, staring at her with ardent eyes, a faint smile on his lips, and gently stroked the edge of her mask with his palm, saying slowly: "Evidence? Evidence is far less direct to me than these hands. Even if I don't lift your mask, I can tell from the touch of your skin - the cat-eyed lady in my arms is the Miss Laisheng Lei who I just kissed."

His words were soft and low, with a fatal tenderness that seemed to slowly seep into Lai Sheng Lei's heart.

There were complex emotions flashing in Lai Shenglei's eyes. She felt an irresistible attraction pulling her, and her breathing became slightly rapid.

Mao Li's eyes softened, he lowered his head slightly, and slowly moved close to her lips.

Lai Shenglei closed her eyes subconsciously, her mind in a mess.

The man was full of aggression, gentle yet irresistible. Her fingers trembled slightly, the dagger slipped to the ground, and ripples had already been set off in her heart.

Chapter 398: What if we don't make cat's eyes anymore?

Lai Shenglei's heart was beating wildly. Mao Li's gentle gaze seemed to completely surround her, with an irresistible attraction that made her almost unable to extricate herself.
