Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

She held a transparent box containing the "Dark Star" in her hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, thank you for coming aboard the Suzuki family's cruise ship today. Tonight, the 'Dark Star' is here."

As she spoke, she held up the box containing the gems high up, and the spotlights suddenly flashed non-stop.

Suzuki Tomoko looked around at everyone, with a hint of provocation in her smile: "Of course, I know Kaito Kidd is also paying attention to it. But I'm not worried at all because Mr. Maori is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spotlight suddenly shifted and hit Kogoro Mouri.

Maori was originally holding a glass of red wine. When he heard his name, he subconsciously raised his head and was a little dazed by the sudden light.

Upon seeing this, the guests around began to applaud and some even whistled, creating a very lively scene.

A smile appeared on Maori's face, and he raised his glass to greet everyone.

Chapter 410: Kaito Kidd is confused

Tomoko Suzuki stood in the center of the stage, and under the spotlight she was like the brightest star in the night sky.

She gently raised the display box in her hand, and the black gem sparkled mysteriously under the light, attracting everyone's attention.

Her voice was gentle and confident. "Thank you all for coming to our cruise dinner tonight. I believe you have heard that there is a special challenge waiting for us tonight."

"The famous Kaito Kidd wants to take this gem tonight."

At this point, she paused and glanced at the guests present. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the display box in her hand, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "As everyone knows, this is the 'Dark Star'."

The crowd started to make an noise. Kaito Kid was very famous, and the Suzuki family had a head-on collision with him this time, which was a grand event for them.

As a rich person, spending some money to watch the struggle between the consortium and the phantom thieves can be considered as a topic of conversation.

"However, the rules of the game are a little different this time."

However, what Suzuki Tomoko said next made everyone stunned.

"To increase the fun, we have prepared a 'Black Star' for each distinguished guest present. However, only one of them is the real thing, and the rest are all high imitations. Kaito Kidd, if you can find the real one among these gems, our Suzuki family will willingly give you this real 'Black Star'."

The guests were in an uproar, and some even whispered, "The Suzuki family is really generous. One for each person? How much does it cost?"

"Don't you know the financial strength of the Suzuki Group? This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for them!"

At this time, Suzuki Tomoko showed a confident smile, and her tone became more determined: "But if you can't find it, it proves that the legend of Kaito Kid is nothing more than this."

The venue suddenly became lively, with many people excitedly discussing this challenge.

Suzuki Tomoko raised her hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet, then looked down at the audience and smiled, "In order to ensure the fairness of the game, we have specially invited Mr. Maori to be the referee tonight."

As she spoke, everyone's eyes focused on Kogoro Mouri.

He leaned back in his chair calmly, with a confident smile on his face. He raised the wine glass in his hand and shook it slightly, and said elegantly: "Since it is Miss Tomoko's invitation, I am naturally happy to serve."

The guests burst into warm applause.

Suzuki Tomoko nodded with satisfaction and waved to the staff to start distributing the "Dark Star".

Soon, everyone had a crystal clear black gem in their hands, including children like Xiaolan, Sonoko, Ai and Conan.

Xiao Ai took the gemstone, lowered her head and looked at it carefully, revealing a bit of surprise: "The craftsmanship of these imitations is too high, and they are almost indistinguishable from the real ones. Such a challenge really makes it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake."

Conan came over and stared at the gem, muttering softly: "Kaito Kid is in a bit of a precarious situation this time."

Ai smiled slightly and put the gem into her pocket, but her eyes kept glancing at Kogoro Mouri not far away.

Maori held a wine glass and leaned casually against a pillar. His eyes swept over the guests in the hall one by one, and finally stopped on a middle-aged man in a suit - Shiro Suzuki.

A playful smile flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful expression.

Conan, who was standing nearby, followed Mori's gaze and also fixed his eyes on Suzuki Shiro.

He frowned and murmured in a low voice: "Kaito Kidd... Could it be that he is pretending to be the head of the Suzuki family?"

"How did Uncle Maori know that? There is absolutely no evidence."

As a detective, Conan is very particular about evidence.

But Maori is different, he is a top warrior himself. Before considering evidence, a person's figure and aura are his best characteristics.

Seeing the lively atmosphere at the venue, Tomoko Suzuki announced that the cruise ship had officially entered free activity time and invited everyone to enjoy the food and entertainment facilities at the dinner.

After saying that, she slowly walked down the stage and greeted the guests one by one.

Maori walked slowly towards Suzuki Tomoko with a handsome smile, but his eyes swept meaningfully towards "Suzuki Shiro" beside her.

"Tonight's arrangement is really clever. The Suzuki family is really ingenious."

Maori exclaimed in praise and took a sip of the wine.

Suzuki Tomoko rolled her eyes at Maori and clinked her glass with him.

"Suzuki Shiro" smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "No, these are all Tomoko's ideas, I just cooperated."

Maori stared at him meaningfully, his smile deepening. Suddenly, he reached out and put his arm around Suzuki Tomoko's shoulders, his tone ambiguous and provocative: "Ms. Tomoko, although this challenge is interesting, I am more worried that Kaito Kid will not be able to resist attacking you."

Suzuki Tomoko blushed and said softly, "Mr. Maori is really good at joking."

She subconsciously glanced at "Suzuki Shiro" and found that the other person's expression was a little stiff, and there was even a hint of unnatural panic in his eyes.

Mao Li saw all of this, and the smile on his lips deepened. He suddenly changed his tone and said, "Mr. Shiro, what do you think of tonight's banquet? What do you think of my relationship with Tomoko?"

Did I lose it?

Is this question allowed?

Wait, you two are having an affair?

So how should I react?

"Suzuki Shiro" seemed to be caught off guard by the question. He pursed his lips and replied calmly, "Mr. Maori and Tomoko's relationship does seem to be... uh..."

Suzuki Tomoko was slightly stunned and frowned slightly. Her intelligence was fully revealed at this moment.

After her eyes wandered between Maori and "Suzuki Shiro" for a moment, she vaguely had some guesses in her heart.

"who are you?"

Her tone suddenly became colder, and her eyes stared sharply at "Suzuki Shiro".

The other party was startled, then sighed softly, lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Mao Li, it turns out that I can't hide anything from you."

Mao Li lazily let go of Suzuki Tomoko and gave her a soothing smile: "Ms. Tomoko, it seems that Mr. Kidd can't wait to join this game. Tell me, can I talk to him alone?"

Suzuki Tomoko was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Of course. But remember, Kaito Kidd, don't spoil the fun of this party."

"Suzuki Shiro" spread his hands helplessly, with a bitter smile in his tone: "Don't worry, Miss Suzuki, I don't want to ruin this rare feast."

Maori smiled slightly, watched Suzuki Tomoko leave, and then patted "Suzuki Shiro" on the shoulder: "Okay, Kid, we should talk."

Kaito Kid shook his head, smiled bitterly, and followed Maori. The two disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Chapter 411 Acting

Kogoro Mori took "Shiro Suzuki" into a spacious room on the cruise ship and closed the door behind him.

He leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms, and had a teasing smile on his face. "Okay, Kidd, it's just the two of us now. Is it time to take off the disguise?"

"Shiro Suzuki" was stunned, then sighed and showed a helpless expression.

He unbuttoned his collar, pulled out a thin mask from the lining, and gently peeled it off.

That gentle face instantly turned into a youthful look.

Hei Lingyumeng quickly stood up straight, with a bit of helplessness and curiosity in his eyes: "Mr. Mao Qiliqi, how did you know that?"

Maori walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down leisurely.

He took a sip of tea, his eyes teasing, "Although you are disguised very well on the outside, your words, manners and movements reveal too many flaws. For warriors like us, your disguise is like wearing a transparent dress, which can be seen through at a glance."

"Musha?"

Kuroba Kaito raised his eyebrows, obviously finding the word a little novel.

He crossed his arms, leaned on the table, and looked depressed: "So that's how it is. It seems that I have to be more careful when I meet a 'martial arts master' like you in the future."

Maori smiled calmly, his eyes sharp. "Don't be so exaggerated. Your disguise is already perfect to ordinary people, but to me, your breath and movements are completely unchanged. For example, just now, you unconsciously made a habitual gesture, which is a signature move of Kaito Kidd that cannot be more familiar."

After hearing this, Kuroba Kaito could only smile bitterly: "Sure enough, I still underestimated you. But speaking of which, now that you have discovered me, what are you going to do next? Call the police to arrest me? Or just let the Suzuki family declare victory?"

Mao Li did not answer immediately, but raised his hand and touched his chin, as if thinking about something. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, his tone relaxed but with a hint of cunning: "It's not that I can't let you go, but..."

"But what?" Kuroba Kaito frowned and looked at Maori warily.

Mao Li narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully: "But you have to do one thing for me - introduce Nakamori Aoko to me."

Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, then looked incredulous: "Nakamori Aoko? My fierce childhood sweetheart? Why do you want to see her?"

Mao Li leaned back in his chair leisurely, smiling: "Don't you find that your childhood sweetheart and my daughter look a bit similar? As a father, I am curious about this strange resemblance and naturally want to get to know each other."

Kuroba Kaito's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "This reason is too weird! Just because she looks like your daughter? And Aoko is so straightforward, are you sure she won't scold you if you meet her?"

Mao Li shrugged, not caring at all: "You can scold me if you want. I'm thick-skinned and it doesn't matter if I get scolded. But if you don't want to, that's another matter."

Kuroba Kaito frowned in confusion, obviously feeling a little embarrassed.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Although this request sounds a bit strange, if he does not agree, his identity as Kaito Kidd may be exposed, which would be terrible.

Finally, he sighed helplessly and nodded: "Okay, I promise you. But don't do anything weird, otherwise Qingzi will scold me without mercy."

Mao Li showed a satisfied smile and patted Kaito's shoulder gently: "Don't worry, I just want to see her, I won't make it difficult for you."

Kuroba Kaito was still a little worried, but he also knew that this might be the best option at the moment.

He sat up straight and asked, "What's next? Now everyone's attention is on me, how do you plan to end this?"

Mao Li stood up, adjusted his tie elegantly, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's very simple, you continue to play the role of Suzuki Shiro and just play the trick. As for Suzuki Tomoko, I will take care of it."

Kuroba Kaito frowned slightly: "Are you sure you can convince Miss Suzuki?"

Mao Li raised his eyebrows and said firmly, "Suzuki Tomoko is a smart woman. She only needs to know that this play will not affect her reputation and will not cause the Suzuki family's gems to be lost, and she will naturally cooperate with me."

Kuroba Kaito pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Finally, a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "Okay, since you have arranged it this way, I will cooperate to the end. I hope that tonight's play will end perfectly."

Mao Li smiled and extended his hand: "Happy cooperation."

Kuroba Kaito held Maori's hand and showed a confident smile on his face: "Happy cooperation."

The two men smiled at each other. One was a famous detective and the other was a phantom thief. They unexpectedly reached a tacit understanding in this unexpected contest.

Kaito took a deep breath, put on his mask again, adjusted his state, restored his appearance as "Suzuki Shiro", pushed the door and walked out.

Maori stood there, watching his back as he left, a meaningful smile on his face.

He whispered to himself: "What an interesting boy, Kaito Kid."

However, I really want to know how you would react if Aoko Nakamori became my woman.

Tsk tsk.

Aoko and Xiaolan look almost exactly the same, which gives me a lot of... thoughts.

……

Amid the bustling crowd in the hall, Kogoro Mori took "Suzuki Shiro" through the bustling guests and returned to Suzuki Tomoko.

Tomoko Suzuki was standing in the center of the banquet, holding a glass of champagne in her hand, and greeting several wealthy people. When she saw Mao Li coming with her "husband", she raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in her eyes.

Mao Li walked forward, looked at Suzuki Shiro with a smile, then looked at Suzuki Tomoko, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Tomoko, I need to talk to you alone. Your husband should stay outside and continue to help you greet the guests."

Suzuki Shiro looked calm, nodded, and said in a steady tone: "Don't worry, leave this to me."

Suzuki Tomoko raised her eyebrows, heard the deep meaning in the words, and instantly understood a little bit.

She raised her head and glanced at Mao Li, with a slightly playful smile on her lips: "Okay, then leave it to him, let's go in and talk."

Maori nodded with a smile, held Suzuki Tomoko's elbow gentlemanly, and led her deeper into the corridor.

Along the way, Suzuki Tomoko was elegant and calm, but when passing some quiet corners, her eyes swept over "Suzuki Shiro" many times, with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.

It was not until the two of them walked into a quiet and exquisite private lounge that Suzuki Tomoko finally took off her disguise.

She leaned in Maori's arms, with a hint of resentment in her tone: "You, you actually reached an agreement with Kidd? The 'Shiro' just now was really him, right?"

Chapter 412: Watertight

Mao Li looked down at Suzuki Tomoko in his arms, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his fingers gently brushed away the hair in front of her forehead: "As smart as you are, how could you not see it? You don't want this incident to become too big of a fuss, do you?"

Suzuki Tomoko raised her head and looked at Maori with complicated eyes, then pinched him and threatened him with a bit of coquettishness in her voice: "Maori Kogoro, you'd better think of a way to have the best of both worlds. Otherwise, I will squeeze you and see what other tricks you can come up with!"
