Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

"Mr. Maori is amazing!"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but shout out.

Lai Shenglei's gaze was still fixed on Maori.

He maintained a proper distance from the crowd, yet still exuded an unignorable presence.

"Why do I like him more and more?"

This question was churning in her heart.

Obviously, she was the first to show her affection for Mao Mengli, but in the end, her two younger sisters (Shengtong and Jiushengai) were already taken away by Mao Mengli.

That’s right, Lai Sheng Lei knows.

She is the eldest sister of the three Cat's Eye sisters. How could she not notice the changes in her two younger sisters?

Ai's cuteness and innocence, Tong's unruly and boldness, all appear unreserved in front of Maori.

But she herself always lingered on the edge of Maori, daring not to get close, yet unable to really stay away.

"Why can't I do this?"

A bitter feeling welled up in Lai Sheng Lei's heart.

She recalled Maori's distant attitude towards her.

He was sometimes gentle, sometimes cold, as if he was grasping some boundary that she could never reach.

The closer she got to him, the more she realized she couldn't really see through this man.

The mystery of Kogoro Mori attracted her like the deep ocean, but also made her feel powerless.

"Am I too weak?"

Lai Sheng Lei gently shook her head, her eyes dropped, and the liquid in the wine glass swayed slightly.

At this moment, Maori's eyes suddenly swept in her direction, and there seemed to be a hint of inquiry in his indifferent expression.

Lai Shenglei was startled and tightened her hand holding the wine glass slightly, but she found that Maori's gaze only stayed on her for a moment and then moved away again.

He turned around, walked side by side with Suzuki Tomoko, and disappeared at the end of the crowd.

"It's like this again..."

Lai Shenglei's chest felt slightly tight, and even her fingertips felt cold.

She bit her lip, but found she had no strength to look away.

They had already had many such eye contact at the venue just now. Lai Shenglei knew very well that the more Mao Li was hot and cold towards her, the more her heart was overwhelmed.

His unfathomable nature, his power and his unpredictability, all put her into an emotional vortex from which it was difficult to escape.

"But am I really willing to do this?"

Lai Shenglei's gaze fell again in the direction where Maori disappeared, and a hint of stubbornness flashed in her eyes.

Maybe she needed to do something to make this man notice her existence.

The night breeze blows gently, and the lights on the cruise ship are still bright.

Lai Sheng Lei stood there, his heart in turmoil, unable to calm down.

Lei Lai's gaze followed the figures of Maori and Suzuki Tomoko, and gradually disappeared at the end of the deck.

Just then, she saw a woman.

"That's... Mitsuko Asaya?"

Lai Shenglei raised her eyebrows and turned her gaze to Asaya Mitsuko who was hurriedly walking not far away. This woman was as aggressive as ever, with a look of urgency and calculation in her expression.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of a smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

This woman who has always been at odds with her may be just the "chess piece" she needs.

A dangerous idea came into Ruisheng Lei's mind: she wanted to use Asaya Mitsuko to prove that Maori cared about her.

She turned and went into her room, quickly changing into the iconic tight black clothes belonging to the Cat's Eye sisters. Her whole temperament instantly changed from a cold and capable president to a smart and aggressive mysterious thief.

The mirror reflected her figure dressed in black, but her eyes were sharper than usual.

She took a deep breath, opened the door, and disappeared into the night.

……

On the other side, Maori and Suzuki Tomoko were walking in the corridor of the cruise ship, and the surroundings gradually became quiet.

Suzuki Tomoko walked slowly with a sly smile on her lips.

"That cold and beautiful female CEO from the next life has been staring at you."

She said in a teasing tone, "Are you really not moved at all?"

Mao Li smiled slightly and replied casually: "I am a serious detective. How can I be attracted to anyone so easily?"

Suzuki Tomoko raised her eyes and gave Mao Li a half-smile: "Really?"

Maori changed the subject. He certainly couldn't let Suzuki Tomoko know that the three sisters of the Raibu family had been targeted by him, let alone mention that he had already captured two of them.

His tone was relaxed: "Tongzi, I think you are the most dazzling one today. Those looks are just jealousy."

After hearing this, Suzuki Tomoko smiled gently and did not ask any more questions.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind, and the figure of Mitsuko Asaya entered their sight.

"Mrs. Suzuki, Detective Mori."

Mitsuko Asaya first nodded and greeted Suzuki Tomoko perfunctorily, and then made no secret of her intentions and set her sights directly on Maori.

"Mr. Maori, when will you help me catch the Cat's Eye Sisters?" She spoke in a direct and urgent tone, with a hint of hostility in her eyes.

Mao Li raised his eyebrows, looking a little impatient, but did not respond immediately.

Asaya Mitsuko snorted coldly and continued, "Also, you are fully capable of taking down Kaito Kid directly, so why did you let him go? You are a detective, you shouldn't be shielding criminals, right?"

There was an obvious provocation in her words, but also a hidden threat.

Mitsuko Asaya thought that in front of a big corporation lady like Tomoko Suzuki, Mori would probably be concerned about his reputation and would not want to damage his image as a righteous detective.

However, to her surprise, Mao Li didn't care about her words at all, and even Suzuki Tomoko didn't show any concern.

Suzuki Tomoko just glanced at her calmly, with a hint of superiority in her tone: "Mr. Maori, who is this lady?"

Mao Li seemed too lazy to explain, but he still said casually: "A policeman chasing the Cat's Eye Sisters."

Chapter 414: Heart Blossoms

Tomoko Suzuki nodded, her eyes slightly drooping, as if she was too disdainful to say another word to Mitsuko Asaya.

The superior attitude she had never shown in front of Maori was now fully revealed.

"In that case,"

Suzuki Tomoko said in a calm tone, but with a hint of unquestionable majesty, "Please don't disturb Mr. Maori."

Asaya Mitsuko was choked by these words and her face suddenly became ugly.

She subconsciously clenched her fists, her eyes moving back and forth between Maori and Suzuki Tomoko, and finally gritted her teeth and prepared to leave.

At this moment, they both saw a figure flash by at the end of the corridor, slender and agile.

That tight black outfit and iconic black hood make her stand out - she's one of the three Cat's Eye sisters!

Asaya Mitsuko was instantly alert and whispered, "It's her!"

Then he ran after him.

Mao Li looked at Suzuki Tomoko and smiled: "I'll go take a look."

Suzuki Tomoko (raised her eyebrows) didn't say anything more, just turned around and walked towards the rest room on the other side.

A gleam of understanding flashed in Maori's eyes, and he turned around and followed Asaya Mitsuko.

The black figure was looming in the light, as if it had deliberately slowed down to lure them into chasing it.

With a smile on her lips, Lai Shenglei led Maoli to the depths of the deck where the crowd was gradually thinning, preparing for a good show.

Her heartbeat quickened slightly, with both anticipation and trepidation.

She wanted to know what kind of importance she held in Maori's heart.

The air on the deck was slightly stagnant. Asaya Mitsuko approached with brisk steps, her eyes fixed on the black figure in front of her like a falcon.

Every step she took revealed her determination to win, while the "prey" in front of her - Tears of the Next Life - dodged flexibly in the limited space and looked back from time to time.

"You run pretty fast, but don't forget that you are facing me, Mitsuko Asaya!" Asaya sneered and followed closely.

Lai Shenglei bit her lips lightly, but she couldn't help feeling anxious.

She was not afraid of Mitsuko Asaya, but - her eyes inadvertently swept across the shadow beside her, where Maori had been hiding, but had never moved.

"What is he waiting for?"

Lai Sheng Lei was secretly worried and even a little annoyed. Her original plan was to lure Asaya Mitsuko away and then have Mao Li resolve everything, but now it seems that Mao Li seems to be calmer and even indifferent than she imagined.

"Damn it!" She was so anxious that she stumbled and slowed down. Asaya Mitsuko rushed forward, grabbed her arm and pinned her against the railing.

"Haha, I finally caught you!" Asaya Mitsuko sneered triumphantly, her eyes full of teasing, "Let me see who the three Cat's Eye sisters are!"

As she spoke, she held Lai Sheng Lei tightly with one hand and slowly reached for her mask with the other.

At this moment, a strong hand suddenly reached out from the side and firmly grasped Mitsuko Asaya's wrist.

"enough."

Maori's deep voice came from the shadows with authority. He strode out, his eyes calm but unquestionable.

"Mr. Maori!" Lai Shenglei looked at him in surprise, and the stone in her heart finally fell.

Asaya Mitsuko's face suddenly changed, and she struggled and shouted, "Maori! Whose side are you on? Didn't you agree to help me catch the three Cat's Eye sisters? Now you are trying to stop me for her?"

Mao Li chuckled and loosened his grip on Asaya Mitsuko's hand, saying with a teasing tone: "Ms. Mitsuko, when did I change my mind? I did say I would catch them, but I obviously like the Cat's Eye Sisters more than a policeman like you."

"what?!"

Asaya Mitsuko was furious, but Raito was so happy that she almost burst into tears. She looked at Maori with blurry eyes and couldn't help but smile.

Asaya Mitsuko snorted coldly, suppressed her anger, and tried to force Maori by provoking him: "Mauri Kogoro, I really misjudged you! You keep saying that you are a detective, but now you are shielding a thief. Do you think such behavior is worthy of your reputation?"

Mao Li didn't care about her provocation at all, still smiling and saying: "Whether I am worthy of you or not is not up to you to decide."

Asaya Mitsuko was furious, but suddenly she chuckled and said coldly: "Mr. Maori, I'm afraid you will regret what you said soon."

Lai Shenglei immediately became alert and quickly warned: "Mr. Mao Li, be careful! She might be recording!"

Asaya Mitsuko snorted coldly, and indeed took out a recorder from her pocket and held it high: "Mouri Kogoro, I have recorded the evidence that you are protecting the Cat's Eye sisters! Why don't you surrender?"

Mao Li stood there, looking calm, even nonchalant: "Oh? Recording? Do you think I wouldn't notice?"

Asaya Mitsuko was slightly startled, but then sneered: "Whether you know it or not, it's too late now! Let me tell you, this recording has been automatically uploaded to my computer. If you dare to grab it, I will immediately publish it and let the whole world know your true face!"

Mao Li smiled and took a step closer to her, with one hand in his trouser pocket, and said calmly: "Then go ahead and post it. I really want to hear what you recorded."

Lai Sheng Lei stood aside, his heart in his throat.

She bit her lip, clenched her fists, and her mind began to rapidly plan the worst-case scenario - if things really got out of hand, she might give up everything, elope with Maori, and live in seclusion in a small village where no one knew about it.

However, Mao Li's confidence made her feel inexplicably relieved. He walked calmly to Asaya Mitsuko, raised his hand and gently snatched the recorder into his hand.

“You——!” Asaya Mitsuko was so angry that she almost jumped up and down. She took a step back and said angrily: “Don’t be so complacent! I have already posted it on the computer! Now, you are finished!”

After that, she pressed the play button on the phone screen.

The broadcast instantly covered the entire cruise ship, and Mao Li's voice came out clearly -

"I like women like this..."

“Justice does not need a single form, it can also be beautiful and artistic.”

"In this dark world, they ignited the fire of hope. I respect them."

The voice is sonorous and powerful, which makes people feel excited.

Asaya Mitsuko folded her arms across her chest triumphantly, waiting to see Maori make a fool of himself.

However, the next second, the crowd on the cruise ship began to boil.

“This line is so cool!”
