Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stabbed the syringe in his hand into Kotaro Ichikawa's neck.

Kotaro Ichikawa widened his eyes, struggled for a moment, then fell limply to the ground, never to move again.

Mori quickly subdued Okano Jun again, while Ichikawa Kazue and Mizue fell to their knees, crying bitterly.

Conan stood aside, feeling extremely complicated.

Mao Li looked at Okano Jun coldly and whispered: "No matter how much he took precautions, he still made a mistake. Trust is the biggest flaw in this game."

The sudden death of Kotaro Ichikawa became an unexpected storm.

After police investigation and examination, it was confirmed that he had indeed died from the lethal drug injected by Okano Jun.

Okano Jun was arrested and the incident seemed to have come to an end, but the subsequent issue of property inheritance made the future of the entire Ichikawa family unclear.

Mao Li handled the turmoil with ease. Not only did he actively cooperate with the police investigation, he also temporarily handled the company's affairs as "Ichikawa family advisor."

This arrangement was unexpected, but also reasonable.

The Ichikawa sisters suddenly became isolated and helpless weaklings, and Mori's strong takeover caused speculation from the outside world, but no one could find any faults.

The top management of Ichikawa Company held an emergency meeting. The atmosphere in the meeting room was depressing and dull.

Mao Li sat in the main seat, flipping through the company documents with a calm expression. His eyes revealed confidence and the certainty that he was in control of everything.

Ichikawa Kazue and Mizue sat aside. Although they looked calm on the surface, they had their own thoughts in their hearts.

"Everyone,"

Mao Li raised his head and glanced at the shareholders and executives present. "It is indeed regrettable that Mr. Ichikawa passed away suddenly, but the company cannot stand still because of this. The most urgent task now is to decide who will inherit and lead this company."

There was silence in the meeting room, and no one dared to speak first.

The shareholders exchanged glances. They had originally expected Kotaro Ichikawa to designate a successor, but it turned out that he did not leave any clear will.

Mao Li tapped the table lightly and continued, "Mr. Ichikawa did not make a will during his lifetime, but according to the law, his property should be inherited by his direct relatives. Therefore, Miss Ichikawa Kazue, as the eldest daughter, has the right to inherit her father's company and estate."

"If you have no objection, Ms. Ichikawa Kazushige will take over as the company's president from today. I will continue to serve as an advisor to help her stabilize the company's situation."

Although the shareholders were somewhat unwilling, the current situation did not allow them to object.

Mori's presence is not only a powerful deterrent, but the information in his hands and his understanding of the internal affairs of the Ichikawa family also make them dare not act rashly.

They could only nod in agreement, and the meeting ended smoothly under Maori's leadership.

That night, the Ichikawa sisters met with Mori alone.

Maori took them to Kotaro Ichikawa's private office, where all the furnishings he had during his lifetime were still displayed.

Maori lit a cigarette and leaned against the desk, his eyes calm and deep.

"Yizhong, Ruizhi, do you know why I chose you?" Mao Li spoke with a meaningful tone.

Ichikawa Kazushige looked at him, hesitated, and whispered, "Because... we are father's only relatives."

Maori shook his head and said with a smile: "No, because you are my women."

He turned to Ichikawa Kazue and said slowly, "Kazue, you are smart and courageous enough, and you have the ability to control the overall situation. What you lack is confidence in yourself and the initiative. I will help you take over Ichikawa Company, not to replace you, but to let you learn how to control your own destiny."

Yizhong stared at Mao Li in a daze, her eyes slightly red. She had never thought that someone would encourage her so sincerely instead of trying to use or manipulate her. She whispered, "Mr. Mao Li, I...I will try my best to live up to your expectations."

Mao Li nodded and turned to Ichikawa Mizue. His tone softened: "As for you, Mizue, you may seem simple, but you are actually very smart. You are good at understanding people's hearts and know how to handle complex interpersonal relationships. Your presence can provide your sister with the emotional support she lacks."

Ruizhi showed a shy smile on her face. She leaned against Mao Li and said softly, "Mr. Mao Li, I just want to follow you and do what you want me to do."

Mao Li patted her shoulder and whispered, "Very good. With the cooperation of you two sisters, this company will be more stable. And I will always be behind you and clear all obstacles for you."

In the following period, Ichikawa Company quickly got on track under the guidance of Mori.

Yichung won recognition from the company's top management with his calm and decisive decision-making, while Ruizhi used her affinity to repair the relationship with some shareholders and customers.

With Mori's secret assistance, the operation of Ichikawa Company was not only not affected, but also ushered in unprecedented prosperity.

At the same time, Mao Li also completely gained the trust of the Ichikawa sisters.

The two of them obeyed almost everything he said and even entrusted their future completely to him.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest: Get the Universal Roulette 1 time! Currently accumulated 2 times! Do you want to draw a prize? ]

The long-lost system prompt sounded, and Mao Li sighed. Although the points from this trip were not many, it made him feel like he was back on track. Little did he know that this was just the calm before the storm.

……

That morning, when Xiaolan woke up, her eyes were slightly red.

She had a disturbing dream. In the dream, she went back to the past and saw her father, Kogoro Mori, holding a gun in his hand, facing her mother, Eri Kisaki, with complex emotions in his eyes, and then - a gunshot rang out.

Even though she knew it was just a dream, her heart still tightened and tears kept falling.

After waking up, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Lan, what's wrong with you?"

Maori noticed that Xiaolan looked absent-minded and asked with concern.

"Nothing, just a dream..."

Xiaolan shook her head, raised her head and smiled, "Dad, we haven't seen Mom for a long time. I want to invite her to have dinner together."

Maori Kogoro smiled and said, "Good idea. I haven't seen Eri for a while. Let dad take you with him."

……

At 7 o'clock that evening, the family arrived at a French restaurant as scheduled. This was a place Xiaolan had specially chosen, with an elegant environment, soft lighting, and a faint scent of vanilla in the air.

Eri Kisaki arrived on time. She was wearing an elegant light blue dress and delicate pearl earrings, showing her lawyer's competence and charm.

Seeing her daughter and Maori, a warm smile appeared on her face.

"Lan, how have you been lately?" Kisaki Eri gently hugged her daughter, her tone full of concern.

"I'm fine, I just miss mom." Xiaolan said coquettishly, with a bit of attachment in her tone, "Mom, is your work very busy recently? You don't even have time to see me."

Hibiki stroked Xiaolan's hair lovingly: "I have been busy recently, but as soon as you said you wanted to meet, I immediately postponed all my plans."

Mao Li watched the heartwarming interaction between the mother and daughter and couldn't help but joked, "Eri, this is the first time I've seen you change your schedule for us. It seems that I am still very considerate."

Kisaki Eri glanced at him with a hint of teasing on her lips: "Kogoro, don't be so complacent. If it weren't for Xiaolan, you would probably have to wait in line."

"Wow...it seems that Xiaolan still has more face."

Maori smiled and hugged Kisaki Eri. After the family sat down, the waiter respectfully handed them the menu.

This restaurant is famous for its exquisite dishes, and even Conan, who followed here begging for food, couldn't help but look forward to it.

However, he paid more attention to the interaction between Mori and Eri Kisaki.

At this time, a wine taster came forward. He was Sawaki Kohei, who had already recognized Maori Kogoro and said excitedly, "Mr. Maori! I didn't expect to see you here! I'm your loyal fan! Today I have a bottle of great vintage red wine, which I opened specially for you."

Mao Li took the wine glass and took a sip, his eyes showing satisfaction: "Not bad, it is indeed a good wine. Mr. Zemu, you are really thoughtful."

Zemu bowed slightly, his face full of humility: "Your affirmation is the greatest support to me."

Chapter 426 Pleasant Days

The atmosphere gradually became relaxed, and the family chatted. Xiaolan and Kissing Eri talked about many little things between mother and daughter.

While eating dessert, Xiaolan couldn't help asking, "Mom, I've always had a question for you... Why don't you live together even though your relationship with Dad has improved?"

Kisaragi gently put down her fork and looked at Xiaolan with gentle eyes: "Lan, this is a little secret between dad and mom. But don't worry, we all love you, and this will never change."

Mao Li heard this and deliberately said, "Lan, aren't you happy with me?"

"Yeah... no... it's just..."

Xiaolan looked at her parents with mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know whether she should pray that they could really be together again, or...

Just then, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a smug-looking man walked in with two women in gorgeous dresses.

Maori looked up, a look of surprise on his face: "Hiroki Tsuji?"

The man was professional golfer Hiroki Tsuji. When he saw Mori, he burst into laughter and shouted, "Mr. Mori! Long time no see!"

Mao Li stood up and exchanged a few words with him. Hiroki Tsuji said casually, "I just won a game and came out to celebrate today. By the way, Mr. Mao Li, are you interested in trying a private jet with me? That feeling is much more exciting than solving a case as a detective!"

Mao Li laughed, and was obviously a little tempted: "Private jet? I have considered buying one, and then I can take my family to the sky to have fun."

"You have good taste!" Tsuji Hiroki laughed heartily, then his face changed and he lowered his voice and said, "But I have to remind you, I heard recently that the Murakami Jō you arrested before is about to be released. He is not very friendly to you, so you'd better be careful."

Mao Li was stunned after hearing this, then waved his hand disapprovingly: "Murakami-jo? It's a small problem, he is just a reckless man, he can't cause any trouble."

Hiroki Tsuji shrugged helplessly: "Then I wish you good luck, Mr. Maori."

He walked to another table with his female companion.

Conan keenly noticed something unusual about this scene. He lowered his head and thought, "Murakami-jo... I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

But he didn't say much, just silently observed Maori's expression.

After the meal, Maori Kogoro stretched with a satisfied look on his face, turned to Conan and said, "Okay, kid, it's time to go back. There's nothing for you to do here."

"Huh? Why! Can I--" Conan was about to protest, but was pushed out of the restaurant by Maori.

"Stop nagging! It's healthy for the child to go back to bed early!" Mao Li scolded righteously, but his eyes revealed an unconcealable pride.

With no other choice, Conan had to walk towards Dr. Agasa's house in disappointment.

He looked back at the backs of Mao Li, Kisaki Eri, and Xiaolan walking side by side, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "This guy is too proud..."

……

The streets are dotted with neon lights and the air is filled with a cool night breeze.

Kisaki Eri took Maori's left arm and said with a smile, "Today's restaurant is good. It seems that our Mr. Maori has some taste."

"Of course!" Mao Li raised his head proudly, "This is the place I picked myself, are you satisfied, Eri?"

"I'm just barely satisfied." Kisaki Eri's words were harsh, but her action of holding Mori's arm seemed particularly intimate.

"Dad, this street is so lively!"

On the other side, Xiaolan also held Maori's hand and smiled sweetly and happily.

She was wearing a light blue dress, and she seemed to be emitting a faint glow as she walked under the lights. "When I was a child, I liked shopping with you. At that time, my mother always loved to buy small things for me. Now when I think back on it, it is very warm."

Hibiki smiled and said gently, "You were so cute when you were little. You always held my hand and asked me questions, wanting this and that. Every time we went shopping together, your dad got a headache."

"How can you say that! Lan was so cute when she was little, how could I have a headache?"

Mao Li quickly retorted, smiling, but inwardly he couldn't help but sigh, "Ran has grown into a big girl now, and is completely different from when she was little, but she is still my pride."

"is it?"

Kisaki Eri snorted, a sly look flashing in her eyes, "Have you forgotten the time when she pestered you to buy a doll? At that time, you coaxed her while complaining to me that you were going bankrupt."

"Huh? Did Dad ever complain?" Xiaolan looked at Maori with some surprise.

"Uh... that is..." Mao Li was speechless for a moment, scratched his head, and said calmly, "Isn't this just to make your mother happy? How can you take it seriously?"

After hearing this, the mother and daughter laughed at the same time.

The street lights shone on them. Eri Kisaki was wearing an elegant dark green dress, showing her nobility in her intellect; while Xiaolan was young and beautiful, and she was no less beautiful than her mother when standing next to her. Maori walked between them, feeling the soft touch of the two holding his hands, and he was secretly proud of himself, "This is the pinnacle of a man's life!"

Both mother and daughter have extremely attractive figures, which makes Maori extremely happy.

A couple passing by couldn't help but whisper: "That man is so lucky! The two women next to him are both beautiful women!"

"Isn't this the legendary winner in life?" another person said enviously.

Mao Li couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard this, but he still tried to pretend to be calm.

Fei Yingli noticed his pride and glanced at him: "What are you proud of? I didn't praise you."

"No complacency, no complacency!"

Mao Li waved his hand, then smiled and said, "But to be honest, Eri, you look so beautiful in this dress tonight. It reminds me of how you looked when you just graduated."
