Maori Kogoro's daily life in the science harem

Conan nervously ran to the door, "I want to go out!"

Xiaolan was crossing her arms with a look that would not tolerate any rebuttal: "Conan-kun, I'm telling you, Dad told us to stay here and watch you. No matter what you say, I won't let you go out."

"Sister Xiaolan~~"

Conan tried to act coquettishly with Xiaolan, but Xiaolan pushed him back into the room and closed the door.

Conan frowned and instantly understood the situation.

He muttered in a low voice: "This old man actually left me here..."

Huihara Ai raised her eyes to look at Conan, her expression calm: "You're awake? It seems that Uncle Maori's legs are still pretty good."

Conan pouted helplessly, stood up and walked to the window.

He looked out the window. It was already dark, and a hint of tension could be seen amid the bright lights in the distance.

He could almost sense danger gathering somewhere.

"The Black Organization won't let Uncle Maori off easily."

Conan muttered to himself, his eyes deep, "They saved Pisco only on the surface. I have a hunch that their real purpose is to target Uncle Maori."

He turned around and looked at Huibara Ai: "Huibara, don't you find it strange? There are too many loopholes in this operation. Pisco is old and weak, and the possibility of failure is very high. But Gin and the others actually sent him to carry out such a difficult assassination mission?"

Huiyuan Ai was also very smart. She was silent for a moment and responded in a low voice: "You mean... this is a trap set against Uncle Maori?"

Conan nodded, his eyes becoming sharper: "That's right. Gin and the others may have known that Uncle Maori would intervene. They may have even set up a trap for him."

Haibara Ai still pursed her lips, didn't say anything, and had a complicated look in her eyes.

She certainly understood that what Conan said made sense, but she also knew that if she acted rashly, things might become even more dangerous.

Finally, Huihara Ai whispered: "Even if you are right, what can we do? Xiaolan won't let us out."

Conan took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Then find a way to make her let down her guard. As long as we can leave here, we still have a chance."

Huiyuan Ai raised her eyebrows slightly: "How to do it?"

Conan took out a bow-tie voice changer from his pocket and smiled proudly: "Use this, I will imitate Uncle Maori's voice and call Xiaolan, so that she will think that Uncle Maori agrees for us to go out."

Huiyuan Ai hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "This is too risky. If Xiaolan finds out, we will be completely helpless."

Conan looked serious: "Ai, if we don't go, Uncle Maori might be in danger. You don't want him to get hurt, do you?"

Huihara Ai's expression wavered. She lowered her head in thought for a moment, and finally raised her head to look at Conan, her voice trembling slightly: "...Okay, I'll help you, but you have to promise not to implicate Xiaolan."

Conan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect everyone."

……

Huiyuan Ai deliberately yawned, walked to the door and knocked. After Xiaolan opened the door, she said to Xiaolan coquettishly: "Sister Xiaolan, I'm a little hungry. Can you help me get something to eat?"

Xiaolan hesitated: "Now? But Dad said..."

Huihara Ai showed a pitiful expression and said coquettishly, "I'm almost starving. And you see, Edogawa is no longer clamoring to go out, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Xiaolan looked at Huihara Ai's expression, softened a little, nodded and said: "Okay, you stay here and don't run around, I'll get you some food."

After saying that, she turned and left the room.

Huihara Ai immediately turned around and looked at Conan: "Hurry, you only have one chance."

Conan quickly adjusted the bow voice changer, pointed it at the phone and dialed Xiaolan's number.

As soon as the other party answered, he immediately said in Maori's voice: "Xiaolan, I asked you to watch those two little ghosts, not to trap them in the room! Now there is a new clue, take them to wait for me outside the hotel."

Xiaolan on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned: "Dad, is it true? But..."

"Don't talk nonsense! Listen to my instructions and take them outside immediately! This case cannot be delayed."

Conan said in a very authoritative tone.

Xiaolan hesitated for a while, but finally agreed: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Conan gave Huihara Ai a smug smile: "Done."

Huihara Ai rolled her eyes: "Don't be too happy too soon. If Uncle Maori knew that you used his voice, would he kick you unconscious again?"

Conan smiled bitterly: "Then at least wait until he returns safely."

A few minutes later, Xiaolan returned to the room and walked out of the hotel with Conan and Haibara Ai.

Although she had no doubts about Mao Li's orders on the surface, she was still a little confused in her heart.

Conan and Haibara Ai looked at each other and remained silent tacitly.

When they arrived at the hotel entrance, Conan and Haibara Ai took the opportunity to break away from Xiaolan's sight and quickly ran towards the direction where Maori might be.

Huihara Ai whispered as she ran: "I hope we can make it in time, otherwise..."

Conan's eyes were firm: "We will definitely make it in time."

……

Xiaolan just found out that Conan and Haibara Ai had run away. She was anxious and was about to chase them out when Sonoko suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, waving her hands and shouting, "Xiaolan! Here, here, I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Yuanzi ran over excitedly, holding Xiaolan's hand, with a smug look on her face: "Look, I was so bored just now that I made a new look myself! How is it, isn't it fashionable?"

She shook her head, showing off her short, slightly curly hair.

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, looking at Yuanzi's hairstyle, the familiar feeling moved her heart.

This hairstyle is a bit similar to Huiyuan Ai's...

Even at this moment, Sonoko looked a bit like a grown-up version of Haibara Ai.

"Hehe, I was actually imitating that cocky little girl. Doesn't it look good?"

Yuanzi walked around and looked at Xiaolan with a smile.

However, Xiaolan didn't have time to think about it now, and her face became more nervous: "Sonoko, stop it, Conan and Xiaoai just ran away!"

Sonoko looked confused: "Huh? Aren't they locked in the room? How could they escape?"

Xiaolan bit her lip and whispered, "I don't know either... Dad asked me to bring them out, but they ran away in the blink of an eye. What should I do now?"

Yuanzi waved her hands, looking a little relieved: "What else can I do? Of course I have to chase them! They are just two little ghosts, where can they run to?"

Xiaolan nodded, and the two of them quickly walked towards the sightseeing elevator.

However, just as the elevator started to move downward, a burst of crisp gunshots suddenly rang out - "Bang!"

The glass of the sightseeing elevator shattered, and a sniper bullet penetrated the glass from the outside and hit Yuanzi directly in front of him!

The shot was extremely dangerous, but because Sonoko shook her head out of habit, she just missed the trajectory of the bullet and escaped narrowly.

"what!"

Yuanzi screamed in fear and collapsed against the elevator wall, her face pale.

Her voice broke the brief silence in the elevator. Xiaolan was also frightened. She hurriedly pulled Sonoko to press the emergency door button. As soon as the elevator door opened, the two of them ran out in a hurry.

"Yuanzi, are you okay?"

Xiaolan asked anxiously, her eyes full of worry.

Yuanzi was shaking all over, and said in a trembling voice: "Sniper... Sniper! Why me? Who did I offend?!"

Xiaolan suppressed her panic and hid behind a big pillar with Yuanzi. She quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find the source of danger.

……

At the same time, on the top floor of a high-rise building opposite the hotel, Gin put down his sniper rifle and stared coldly at Sonoko's figure.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous chill in his eyes.

"Isn't that Shirley next to Mao Lilan?"

Gin muttered to himself, then snorted, "But she must be here. Humph, lead Maori Kogoro away, and you little mice will be the only ones left here. Shirley, you can't escape."

Gin put away the sniper rifle expressionlessly and opened the communicator: "Change the target, continue the action."

Then he turned and left the high-rise building, walking towards the hotel.

……

On the street near the hotel, Conan and Huihara Ai were running forward quickly when they heard gunshots in the distance. They were both startled and stopped abruptly.

"Gunshots?!"

Haibara Ai's face changed and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.

Conan's eyes widened and his voice was low: "It came from the direction of the hotel... Could it be that Xiaolan and the others are in trouble?"

Huihara Ai's breathing quickened and she pursed her lips: "What should we do, Edogawa? We were going to look for Uncle Mori, but now..."

Conan's face flashed with a trace of struggle, but soon, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "No, we must go back! If they are in danger, we can't just stand by and watch!"

Haibara Ai nodded, and although her expression was still ugly, she quickly followed Conan.

The two turned and ran towards the hotel, their hearts full of anxiety and worry.

"Don't let anything happen..."

Conan prayed silently, his hand involuntarily clenching the anesthetic needle in his pocket.

He knew that the situation would likely become even more dangerous.

……

Haibara Ai followed closely behind Conan, and frowned slightly as she saw that he seemed a little overwhelmed by his nervousness.

Conan's steps were almost unsystematic, he ran forward completely based on his intuition, but Haibara Ai knew that continuing like this would only put them in a more dangerous situation.

"Edogawa, calm down!"

Huihara Ai grabbed Conan's wrist, dragged him to the shadows on the side, and said in a low voice, "Running around like this will only expose us faster! Think about it, what is the most important thing now?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, trying to adjust his breathing: "The most important thing is to find Xiaolan and Sonoko and bring them to a safe place..."

"Then follow me."

Haibara Ai's voice was calm and firm. Although she was filled with fear in her heart, she knew that she had to remain calm at this time.

She pulled Conan along, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, quickly analyzing the most likely route.

Recalling the hotel's structural diagram, she chose a service passage that bypassed the lobby, avoiding the area in front where there might be an ambush.

A few minutes later, they finally found the shivering Yuanzi and the alert Xiaolan in a remote stairwell.

"Sister Xiaolan, Sonoko!"

Conan hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

As soon as Xiaolan saw Conan, she immediately showed a relieved expression: "Conan! Why are you back? Didn't Dad tell you to stay in the room?"

Conan did not answer directly, but asked anxiously: "What happened here? Why are there gunshots?"

Yuanzi hugged Xiaolan's arm, looking terrified: "I don't know! When we were taking the elevator downstairs, the glass suddenly shattered! It almost cost me my life! Xiaolan pulled me out and we hid here."

Huihara Ai frowned and reminded Conan softly: "Since someone opened fire, it means they have infiltrated the hotel. And this shooting skill cannot be that of an ordinary person - they are here."

Conan's face darkened: "Black Organization?"

Huihara Ai nodded slightly.

Conan looked at Xiaolan and Yuanzi who were confused, and said seriously: "Sister Xiaolan, the most important thing for us now is to find a place to hide quickly!"

……

At the same time, in the hotel lobby, a grim figure was walking slowly forward.

Gin was wearing a hat and a windbreaker, followed by several peripheral members of the Black Organization. He was playing with a pistol in his hand and had a cold smile on his face.

He glanced around every corner, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, he stopped and stared at a corner of the stairwell in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Tan brown hair?"

Gin's voice was low and cold, with a hint of ironic smile on the corner of his mouth, "How dare you to show even a little bit of your shadow... Shirley, you are still as stupid as ever."

He raised his hand to signal the people behind him to follow, and then he strode in that direction.
